At around ten o'clock in the evening, Gu Qi and Gu Yi arrived exhausted.
They went to several docks in Yucheng, asked for information about all the ships sailing out to sea that day, and searched every waiting room, but in the end they found nothing.
As soon as Gu Qi entered the door with his bicycle, he saw a dark figure as fat as a bear rushing towards him, crying like a wail.
"Aqi, what's going on? Have you found Ami?"
Gu Yi was closing the door at the back, and when he heard that, he said angrily, "I can't find it!"
With a cry of "Ah~~", Ying fell to the ground and started crying loudly.
"Where did she run off to?! Where did she go? Hu Zi said she went with the Chen family's scoundrel! Have you found that damn scoundrel?! Did he kidnap my Ah Miao?"
Gu Qi frowned slightly and said calmly, "It's too late now. There are few people on the road. It's too difficult to find someone to ask for directions. We don't know where Chen Nantai lives, and we don't know where to start asking. We can only wait until dawn to look for him."
Gu Yi came forward and pulled his old mother up, saying angrily: "Mom, where have you been all day? Ah Miao disappeared last night, and you didn't tell us? She emptied out all her things, and such a big thing happened at home - and you couldn't even see her shadow!"
Ying said in an embarrassed voice, "Um...uh," "I can't stay at home all day, right? They both went to school, and you guys don't come to accompany me, so I have to go out and have fun, otherwise life will be so hard."
"But Ah Miao didn't go home at night, how could you just ignore it!" Gu Yi asked impatiently: "Why didn't you tell us earlier? My eldest brother left in the evening, and Ah Xuan just got home - where were you at that time?"
Ying stammered, "I was playing mahjong with some old sisters... I was lucky this afternoon and couldn't bear to leave, so I wanted to play as much as I could before leaving."
She has been madly in love with mahjong recently. Her mind is full of all kinds of "bump bang bang" and "hu hu hu" every day. She goes out as soon as she finishes her meal in the morning and is reluctant to leave even when the sun sets.
If it wasn’t for the fact that it was the beginning of winter and two old sisters were in a hurry to go home and there weren’t enough people to gather, she would have planned to go home after ten o’clock.
I went to the first floor facing the river, but found that the door was locked and it was dark and no one was at home.
After turning on the light, she found the stove was deserted and her daughters were not there. Just as she was wondering, her eldest daughter came and said with wide eyes, "A Miao is missing", which scared her so much that she was stunned!
Gu Xuan said that she looked in several places and even went to Chongwen School, but unfortunately she couldn't find it.
Ying was frightened and asked if he had gone to a classmate's house.
Gu Xuan shook his head and pointed to his little sister's room and explained, "All her clothes and things are gone. My eldest brother came to look for her earlier and said that she ran away with Chen Erliuzi. This morning, Xiao Huzi saw her packing her things at her home after school, and then Chen Erliuzi took her away."
After hearing this, Ying felt dizzy and fell on the sofa, almost fainting.
Gu Xuan also said that his eldest brother and second brother had also gone out to look for it, but he didn’t know if they could find it.
After hearing this, Ying didn't care about fainting, and immediately pulled her eldest daughter to the "Three Gardens".
Unexpectedly, neither the eldest son nor the youngest son came. Not only did they not come, but even the eldest daughter-in-law and the youngest daughter-in-law went out to help look for someone. Only Ma Dali was left accompanying Xiao Huzi in the study to write.
Ma Dali was very polite and poured tea for them.
Although Xiao Huzi is young, he is very considerate like Gu Qi, and asks his grandmother and aunt if they have had dinner.
Ying shook her head and said no.
Xiao Huzi explained that his mother had stewed an old hen and that she planned to take half of it to give to her grandmother and aunts. It was now on the stove.
Ma Dali hurried to the kitchen, took the big pot off the stove, and quickly scooped out two large bowls of chicken and brought them out of the kitchen.
Ying gobbled it up in big mouthfuls. Gu Xuan was also very hungry and finished the whole bowl.
Ma Dali also scooped a small bowl for Xiao Huzi, but he only ate a few pieces and drank the soup before he was full.
Seeing that something happened at home and his parents were not at home, the little guy refused to go upstairs to sleep and just leaned on the door railing waiting.
Everyone waited anxiously, and finally Gu Qi and Gu Yi arrived.
Ying rushed out immediately, but her little daughter was nowhere to be found and her two sons began to question her righteously.
Gu Qi asked in a deep voice, "Mom, Ah Xuan said that Ah Miao has been skipping classes recently and is nowhere to be found every now and then. She told you about it, but you didn't even scold Ah Miao and just let her go. Mom, is this true?"
"That..." Ying hesitated and replied, "She said she had something to do... She also said she was going to study with her classmates, not to run around and play. How could I know that damn girl was lying to me!"
Gu Qi asked with a cold face: "Ah Xuan also said that he quarreled with her because of this last night. Why didn't you ask clearly at that time? She ran out at night, why didn't you stop her?"
Ying stuttered, "I-I thought it was just a little girl being upset, and everything would be fine once she calmed down. It's common for brothers and sisters to have quarrels and fights."
Gu Yi couldn't help but point out the loophole: "Ah Xuan said that Ah Miao's class teacher found that she was always skipping school, so he specially found time to visit her home, but you were not there. Her class teacher went to Ah Xuan and asked what happened. Ah Xuan scolded the younger sister at home, and then the two of them quarreled. Mom, is this how you take care of your two younger sisters? Huh?"
"That--that--" Ying was angry and said, "Don't ask me! They are not little kids, how would I know what they did! Do you mean to blame me alone? You all ran away and left the whole family to me. You don't know how hard I work normally. Now that something goes wrong, you all blame me! Oh my! I really have a hard life!"
Gu Xuan stood under the porch, watching his old mother throwing a tantrum with a cold expression, without moving a muscle.
Gu Yi was so angry that he rolled his eyes and shouted, "We don't work to earn money? How can we give you and your two sisters money if we don't work! Big brother's salary is given to you every month, and Xing'er and I get thirty yuan! You throw everything to you?! Without us going to work, what will you eat? Your sisters live with you, and you don't take care of them? Who can take care of them? If something happens to my little sister, who else can we turn to if not you?"
Ying fell down on the grass, crying loudly.
"Ah Miao! Where on earth have you been? You must not get into any trouble, otherwise your two brothers will probably hate me to death! The child's father, you bastard! You passed away so early, and cruelly abandoned me and the child! It was not easy for me to raise several children by myself! Wuuuu..."
Gu Yi was furious, but he couldn't bear his old mother talking about his deceased father, so he could only endure his dissatisfaction and turned around and strode into the house.
Seeing his old mother throwing a tantrum, Gu Qi didn't want to talk to her any more. He turned around and pushed the bike to park under the tree, but unexpectedly found that his wife's bike was not there.
"Xing'er? Xing'er?!"
Ma Dali came out holding the sleeping little tiger in his arms and lowered his voice: "She and Xiao Xing went to help find someone."
Gu Qi couldn't help but worry when he heard this, and said, "It's so late..."
Ma Dali comforted him, "They have flashlights and each other to keep them company. Lingling is very familiar with the city and can get here with her eyes closed. Don't worry."
Gu Qi looked at the little guy in his arms and pretended to hug him——
"Wait." Ma Dali whispered, "You're all sweaty, don't carry him over. Aqi, go upstairs and lead the way. I'll carry little Tiger upstairs and sleep."
Gu Qi whispered gratefully: "Thank you so much for troubling you."
Then, the two went upstairs to settle little Tiger.
Ma Dali reminded: "Lingling said you went out to look for someone before you had dinner. The chicken is still warm in the pot, you and your brother should go and eat quickly. I can't be away for too long over there, I have to hurry up and keep watch."
"Thank you." Gu Qi saw him out and reminded him, "Be careful on the road."
Ma Dali paused, turned his head and said, "Aqi, if Tian needs help finding someone, let me know and my two sisters and I will come to help immediately."
After saying this, he left quickly.
Gu Qi looked at his tall and strong back, feeling secretly grateful.
"Archie!" A familiar voice came from the side!
Gu Qi turned his handsome face away and saw a bicycle approaching from a distance in the night. The car was driving very fast, and the light of the flashlight was flickering, so it was impossible to see the people in the car clearly.
"Xing'er! Slow down!"
