Chapter 250 The He Family, a Family of Unlucky People
After the fever subsided, Chen Tang took He Zhi home.
She still remembered the scene of seeing He Xu in her dream. Chen Tang had a premonition that something must have happened to He Xu, but his life was safe.
Chen Tang is not a person who can only cry and not cheer up. Moreover, there is no news now, and it is possible that her premonition is wrong.
On the way, I met Liu Jia and Tian Xiaotian talking. Tian Xiaotian was holding a basket with some pastries in it. Liu Jia had just eaten a piece when Tian Xiaotian couldn't wait to hand the basket to her and asked her to take it back to eat.
Liu Jia enjoyed this enthusiasm very much. She tried to refuse but took a few more bites without stopping.
"Auntie Tian, you know what, your cooking skills are really good."
"If you like it, take it back and share it with Sister Liu. It's made with a little brown sugar and flour. It's soft and fluffy, and children like it too."
Liu Jia knew very well that Tian Xiaotian was trying to please him, so she took the basket and agreed: "Okay, I'll take it back for my aunt to taste."
Seeing Shen Tang walking over with the child, Liu Jia showed a touch of sympathy: "Comrade Shen, don't be too sad. Although something happened to Captain He, you still have a child. Don't really lose heart."
Tian Xiaotian rolled her eyes and said, "Oh, Sister Liu, please don't say anything. Chen Tang probably doesn't know that something happened to Captain He."
Chen Tang stopped and looked at him coldly: "Oh, what happened to our He Xu?"
Tian Xiaotian had no idea what had happened to He Xu. She just made some guesses because Hao Yun, who was on the mission with him, was injured and He Xu didn't come back.
In addition, Chen Tang had an inexplicable fever and was hospitalized. He looked so shocked. Could it be that something had happened to He Xu?
Tian Xiaotian smiled awkwardly: "How would I know what happened to He Xu in your family?"
"Since you don't know, why are you spreading rumors? What? Are you still hoping that something bad will happen to the soldiers on the mission?"
This is a serious crime. Tian Xiaotian quickly said, "Don't talk nonsense. I don't think so."
Chen Tang: "Since you don't think so, why do you care about the soldiers on the mission? Do you want to keep track of their whereabouts?"
Doesn't this mean she's a spy?
Tian Xiaotian was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, okay."
She didn’t dare to provoke Shen Tang, who was in a bad mood, and trotted back home.
Liu Jia was stunned when she saw Tian Xiaotian running away. Didn’t she herself say that Chen Tang was a softie?
Liu Jia and Shen Tang did not have any great hatred, they just liked to impose their own ideas on others. Although she felt a little uncomfortable for not getting Shen Tang's approval, she trembled in her heart when she saw Shen Tang's cold eyes full of indifference, and left with a wry smile.
He Zhi didn't know what an accident meant yet. He looked up with doubt in his heart: "Mom, is there an accident with Dad?"
Shen Tang shook his head: "No, your father will be fine."
He Zhi noticed that his mother was in a bad mood, so he didn't make a fuss or argue, but took her hand and went home.
Five days later, He Xu still hadn't returned.
Chen Tang's peaceful life remains the same as always.
Everyone seemed to have forgotten the previous rumors.
Until Commander Zhu called Chen Tang over and asked her to prepare herself mentally.
"...He Xu disappeared on the border. He was shot and fell off a cliff. The mountains there are steep, and there is miasma all year round, and wild beasts roam around. The village is secluded and the language is uncommunicative. Our people searched for a long time but couldn't find him. We only found a piece of clothing with blood stains."
"We have surveyed the area and found traces of large wild animals foraging, as well as some human bones. We don't know if He Xu is still alive."
"Local residents also said they had not seen He Xu."
“Comrade Shen, you have to be mentally prepared.”
Chen Tang felt his legs and feet were cold, and he was shivering when he walked out of the office. Even the sunlight couldn't dispel the coldness.
He Xu has been missing for at least ten days. Commander Zhu initially kept it a secret from Chen Tang, hoping that he could find him.
But now after evaluation, the probability of He Xu being found is very slim.
I notified her just because I thought it was time for her to be mentally prepared.
Chen Tang returned to the yard, and little He Zhi sat obediently on the sofa reading a book and learning to read.
When he saw his mother coming back, he hugged her happily.
Chen Tang held the child in silence for a long time. In the evening, he went to Teacher Zhu's house and proposed the idea of going together to look for He Xu.
Commander Zhu rejected it on the spot: "Comrade Shen, you are making trouble. The border is unstable. You are powerless and not a soldier. How can you go to a dangerous place?
Another thing, I have already sent Lu Yanzhou to look for him. If he can't even find him, will it be of any use for you to go?"
Chen Tang: "Master, husband and wife are of one mind. I can feel that He Xu is still alive and he is waiting for us to rescue him. Moreover, although I am not very strong in fighting, I have brains. This time I will not delay their search. I just hope you can give me the specific location where He Xu disappeared. As for how I will find him, that is my own business."
Commander Zhu's face turned blue with anger: "You are a weak woman, how can you go to find them? Beyond the border is the Yue Kingdom, which covets our land. There are often spies there. If you go there alone rashly, who will be held responsible if something goes wrong?"
Chen Tang: "I am responsible for my own life."
Commander Zhu was so angry that he refused to give Chen Tang the address no matter what.
Chen Tang was also stubborn. He went straight to the telephone room after leaving the house and made a call to the capital.
Liu Shengnan and Liu Jia heard them arguing in the room and didn't dare to breathe.
After Chen Tang left, Commander Zhu was so angry that he was breathing heavily. He took a porcelain cup and poured a glass of cold water and drank it in one gulp, feeling extremely helpless.
"This Chen Tang is so bold, why did she start a quarrel? Didn't she come here to ask about He Xu's news?"
Liu Shengnan hurriedly helped Commander Zhu calm down.
Commander Zhu said helplessly: "It's okay, she just can't accept that He Xu is in trouble for the time being."
Liu Shengnan felt sorry for He Xu and thought that Chen Tang was indeed not a lucky person. Fortunately, He Xu got married early. If she had really introduced her niece to He Xu, her niece would be the one to be a widow now.
Liu Jia also felt sorry. Her aunt said that Captain He was very handsome, but it was a pity that she didn't even get to see him before he died.
Chen Tang called her grandfather, but she didn't dare to inform Mr. He. The old man was not in good health, and she was afraid that he would get angry and have an accident.
When Mr. Shen heard that Chen Tang wanted to go find He Xu by himself, he was overwhelmed.
But he couldn't win over anyone.
"Grandpa, don't worry. I'm not an impulsive person, nor am I someone who won't give up until I see the Yellow River. If He Xu really gets into trouble, I won't be so sad that I can't recover. But I can also feel that He Xu really needs me."
"I want you to help me find a few people to go with me when we go to the border this time. Don't worry, I will definitely ensure my own safety, and I will definitely follow their orders even if we retreat."
After hearing what she said, Mr. Shen sighed and said, "This is just this time, it won't happen again. If you can't find anyone, bring Xiao Atang back. Our Shen family will not be unable to support you and your mother."
Shen Tang’s eyes were moist: “Well, Grandpa, don’t worry, I will be fine.”
Old Master Shen snorted, not holding out much hope, and was considering whether or not to move.
In case my granddaughter can't accept it, maybe changing to another one will make me feel better.
Thinking of Old Man He, Mr. Shen couldn't help but sigh.
This family is unlucky.
They say that you have to worship your ancestors, otherwise you will be unlucky.
