Chapter 46 People are missing
The next morning, Hu Xiner opened her eyes drowsily and wiped the corner of her mouth subconsciously.
The result was a hand full of saliva.
He raised his head stiffly and found Mu Qing sleeping soundly beside him.
Ah! This handsome profile, this embarrassing scene!
She wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Help! She had actually been lying on Mu Qing's chest last night and drooling so much.
While Mu Qing was still asleep, she quietly raised her hand and prepared to wipe off the crystal liquid.
Once, twice, she was about to succeed, but suddenly, she was shocked to find that Mu Qing's clothes were actually torn by her!
The power of this saliva is so terrifying!
"What are you doing?" Mu Qing asked vaguely. He felt something moving on his chest. It was cool and a little drafty.
Looking down, I first saw Hu Xiner's face, and then the chest with a hole in it.
And Hu Xiner's magic hand was still placed on the hole, pulling.
"Listen to my explanation!" Hu Xin'er said tremblingly, "I didn't mean to tear your clothes."
She thought that the clothes had been worn for too long and had become damaged, so a big hole was rubbed on it.
"Why did you tear my clothes?" Mu Qing was very confused. It was obvious that Hu Xiner wanted to do something bad but was caught.
I'm going to be treated as a female hooligan!
Hu Xin'er was so upset she had no choice but to confess, "I noticed saliva on your clothes, so I wiped it off. I didn't expect it would leave such a big hole!"
Mu Qing silently hugged her tightly: "It's okay, just buy more clothes."
Hu Xiner blinked her eyes when she was hugged, and tried hard to recall the memories of last night.
Both of them were neatly dressed, so nothing must have happened.
Mu Qing knew from her expression that she must have forgotten everything again.
I was somewhat relieved that I didn't feel embarrassed when I woke up, but I also felt a little sigh, because after all, he was the only one who remembered the ambiguity of last night.
"By the way, that wedding wine..." He looked deeply at Hu Xin'er, "Have you ever drunk it with anyone else?"
"No, absolutely not!" Hu Xin'er was a little embarrassed. Did she drink the wedding wine with Mu Qing yesterday? Fortunately, she didn't enter the bridal chamber.
But besides feeling relieved, she also felt a strange little anticipation in her heart. She snuggled into Mu Qing's arms, craving the warmth of the moment.
Just then, the sound of a woman crying was heard outside the window, breaking the tranquility of the early morning.
Hu Xin'er stood up and found that Mu Qing didn't move. She asked awkwardly, "Isn't that your only set of clothes?"
Mu Qing's ears turned red: "The one that Sister Li made was washed yesterday."
Hu Xin'er said angrily, "You fool, even if you have money, you don't buy yourself a few more sets of clothes."
After she packed up, she went out and saw a sallow-faced peasant woman crying sadly.
"Where is my son?" She rushed over and grabbed Hu Xiner's sleeve.
Hu Xin'er was startled: "Who are you?"
The peasant woman cried, "Are you Boss Hu? My son is missing!"
My son is missing. Could it be the little boy from yesterday?
Hu Xin'er asked hurriedly, "Tell me clearly, who is your son? What does he look like? When was he lost?"
"My son is only eleven years old and has a big black mole on his neck. He didn't come home last night, and they all said they saw him in Boss Hu's shop!" The peasant woman grabbed her and wouldn't let go. "Boss Hu, where's my son?"
Judging from the description, he is indeed the little boy among the three people yesterday.
Hu Xiner slowed down her tone and said, "Don't worry. Gou Wa did come to my shop yesterday, but he went back with the other two girls when it got dark."
"He didn't come back!" the peasant woman cried pitifully, "Boss Hu, my family is poor and illiterate. Gou Wa is our only life!"
She seemed to have grabbed the only life-saving straw and put pressure on Hu Xiner desperately.
Although it was unconscious, it made Hu Xiner nervous.
"It's okay. Let's go ask the other two little girls first. Maybe they had too much fun and stayed at someone else's house." Hu Xiner clenched her skinny hands.
The peasant woman asked pitifully, "Is that Erya and Cuihua?"
"That should be it." Hu Xin'er was a little uncertain, because everyone's nicknames in this era are pretty much the same. "Anyway, take me there first. It's better than just crying here."
Her calmness infected the peasant woman, who took him to the homes of the other two children to find out what was going on.
The three children's homes were next to each other. As soon as Hu Xiner entered the house, she heard the little girl say in surprise, "Fairy sister! Mother, look, she is Boss Hu, the one who gave us the three cents."
The little girl's mother came out of the dark house. They were all wearing ragged clothes covered with patches.
The hut was small and low, and the boy's father was out working.
The little girl's mother looked at Hu Xin'er warily, but when she saw Gou Wa's mother, she relaxed.
"Gou Wa's mother, what are you doing bringing people to my house?"
Gou Wa's mother's eyes were red: "Gou Wa is missing."
"What, Gou Wa is missing?" the little girl and her mother said in unison.
Gou Wa's mother squatted down and pulled the little girl: "Er Ya, did you and Gou Wa come back together yesterday?"
Erya thought her aunt's eyes were scary: "Yes, we came back together."
"Then where did he go?" Gou Wa's mother anxiously shook Erya's hand, "Tell auntie, tell auntie, okay? Auntie will agree to anything you ask."
"I, I saw him enter the house with my own eyes. I don't know where he went..." Erya's voice became softer and softer. She was scared to tears by Gou Wa's mother.
Hu Xin'er said gently, "Don't be afraid, Erya. Gou Wa's mother was just too anxious. Did you see Gou Wa come in with your own eyes?"
"Well, I saw it with Cuihua." Erya said sobbing.
"How is that possible?" Gou Wa's mother pleaded, "Er Ya, you're a good child. Auntie will give you money. Can you please tell me where Gou Wa is?"
The more Hu Xin'er listened, the more she felt something was wrong. It seemed as if Erya was deliberately lying.
"I, I'm telling the truth." Erya cried, "My hand hurts so much, mother! Fairy sister! Save me!"
The more she tried to break free, the tighter Gou Wa's mother held her: "Tell me, tell me quickly!"
"Your son is missing, why are you taking it out on my daughter?" Erya's mother held her daughter tightly in her arms, "My Erya never lies. If you don't believe me, get out of here right now!"
"Erya, can you think of any other details?" Hu Xiner asked with concern.
"It seemed... I heard a dog barking." Erya said uncertainly.
The two went to Cuihua's house again and asked for details. The result they got was the same as Erya's. They both watched Gou Wa enter the house.
But at that time, Gou Wa's parents were out.
The only clue was the barking of a dog, but no one nearby had a dog.
Things started to get weird.
