Chapter 234 Two People Missing
Shen Hongmei shook her head, and Chen Yueer also brought Shen Hongmei some sugar water.
Shen Hongmei drank it and reminded: "Yue'er, you should also drink a bowl, don't be reluctant, Dashan still depends on you for comfort."
"Mom, don't worry, I will drink it. I'll go boil some sugar water, and everyone will have a bowl when they come back."
"Okay, go ahead, I'll stay with your mother."
Chen Yueer went to boil water, and Shen Hongmei asked softly, "Is it because of Xiaoying?"
Tao Xiu'e nodded and shook her head, which confused Shen Hongmei.
"It's a little related, but not entirely." Tao Xiu'e repeated what her son Da Wang said to his father, and also what she said to men. In the end, she must have felt ashamed and angry, so she attacked herself for daring to tell the truth.
Tao Xiu'e was silent. She usually noticed that Chen Dawang was not talkative and didn't talk much to Xiaoying, so she thought he didn't have that kind of feelings for Xiaoying. Who knows, alas!
It was completely dark and the people who had gone out to search came back one after another. At night, they didn't dare to go outside. Although they didn't see any big wild animals during the day, it was hard to say at night.
"Brother Li, Dashan, don't be sad. Xiaoying grew up in the mountains and knows a little about how to avoid danger. She must have gone a little far and might have lost her way. She will hide in the trees at night, let's look for her tomorrow." Du Qingcang's voice came from outside the door.
Soon, Li Youcai, Li Dashan, and Du Qingcang came in from outside, and Chen Fuze followed closely behind.
"Go home and have a rest. We'll continue looking tomorrow." Seeing that everyone had returned, Li Haoran stood up from the stool and said to the people who had just come in.
"Uncles, please have a bowl of sugar water before you leave." Chen Yue'er came out with some water.
"Okay, let's drink before we go. We are all thirsty. Yue'er is really thoughtful." Li Haoran sat back on the stool.
"Hey, Fugui, where is brother?" Chen Yue'er brought some boiled water and found that Chen Dawang was not there.
"I don't know. He was walking behind me just now and said he wanted to close the door, but I didn't pay attention." Chen Fugui said in surprise.
"Have you gone home? I'll go back and check." Chen Yue'er ran out in a hurry, and ran back in a hurry after a while.
"Brother, brother is missing too." Chen Yue'er said panting.
"What?" Li Haoran stood up suddenly in shock.
Chen Shengli and Tao Xiu'e also ran over in a hurry. Tao Xiu'e even tripped when she stepped over the threshold. If Chen Yue'er hadn't been quick to pull her out, she would have kowtowed to everyone.
"Brother, brother, you have to help me. Da Wang, Da Wang must have encountered a wild beast." Chen Shengli rushed over and grabbed Li Haoran's hand and said anxiously.
"Brother Haoran, please, save Dawang." Tao Xiu'e stood in front of Li Haoran and begged.
Li Haoran was shocked again when he saw Tao Xiu'e's swollen cheek, and his brows frowned subconsciously.
"Cry, cry. If you had held him back and not let him go out, would he have encountered any wild beasts? It's all your fault." Chen Shengli yelled at Tao Xiu'e.
"Enough of that. How can we find someone if we keep making so much noise?" Li Haoran scolded, "Who was with Da Wang just now?"
"I," Chen Fugui said with tears in his eyes, "just now I came back with my elder brother, following behind brother Dashan."
"So your elder brother came in the gate with you?" "Well, when we entered the gate, my elder brother told me to go first, and he wanted to close the door before coming in." Chen Fugui couldn't figure out why his elder brother disappeared.
"You go out and shout. Since they have come in, they are in the cave." Li Haoran said.
Tao Xiu'e and Chen Yue'e hurriedly ran out to shout. Li Haoran kept Chen Fugui, who wanted to go out, and said, "Fugui, you often follow your sister Xiaoying. Has she said anything to you recently?"
"Yes, I tell you everything."
"So what does she talk about the most?"
"Well, the one who complains the most is Sister Yike. She always complains that Sister Yike doesn't come back."
"Why are you complaining?"
"She, she said," Chen Fugui glanced at his father who was sitting next to him, "Dad, I told you not to hit me."
"Tell me, when did I ever hit you?"
"You just hit your mother."
"You," Chen Shengli stood up with his hands raised, but put them down again under Li Haoran's glare and sat back down.
"Don't be afraid, your father won't beat you anymore, just tell me."
"Sister Xiaoying said that she wanted to be as brave as Sister Yike and dare to fight against bad guys."
"Oh, which bad guy did Yi Ke fight?"
"Sister Yike's mother, the one who wants to sell Sister Yike's mother."
"But there are no bad guys here. Who is Xiaoying going to fight against?"
"Yes, Sister Xiaoying said that my father is him."
"You're looking for a fight, right?" Chen Shengli stood up again and threatened.
Hu Haohan pulled Chen Shengli and whispered, "Would you listen to what Big Brother is saying? This way we can know where Xiaoying went. We've searched everywhere but can't find her. This means Xiaoying must have gone far away. We need to know why she went there and which direction she went."
Chen Shengli sat down angrily.
"Go on." Li Haoran frowned even more tightly.
Chen Fugui glanced at his father fearfully, but then he thought of what Uncle Haohan said, that he might know where Sister Xiaoying was from his words, so he continued boldly, "Sister Xiaoying said that my father is selfish, that he eats Sister Yike's food, tills Sister Yike's land, and even scolds Sister Yike."
"Wait, you said your father scolded Yi Ke?"
"Yes, that day, sister Xiaoying and I were playing in the tree, and my father was scolding us from under the tree. I was afraid that my father would beat me, so I didn't allow sister Xiaoying to come down from the tree to scold me with my father."
"When did it happen?"
“Last year, we had just moved in.”
Li Haoran glared at Chen Shengli, who shrank his neck in fear. Just as he was about to argue, Hu Haohan pulled him and he quickly shut up.
"That happened so long ago last year. Why is your sister Xiaoying still bringing it up this year?"
"Because Sister Xiaoying wanted to break off the engagement, she said she didn't want to call my dad "dad". My dad didn't agree with Sister Xiaoying's breakup, so Sister Xiaoying said she wanted to be like Sister Yike, so she looked forward to Sister Yike coming back to take her away from the engagement every day."
Li Haoran stood up from the stool and asked in surprise, "Running away from marriage?"
Chen Fugui was so frightened that he took several steps back and nodded fearfully.
Li Haoran's current aura was so terrifying that everyone was stunned.
"Chen Shengli, what have you done to Xiaoying recently?"
"I, I didn't do anything?"
"No, you must have done something? This kid is most likely out of the mountain."
Li Youcai also stood up and looked at Chen Shengli angrily: "You came to my house to urge us to get married, and you said in front of Xiaoying that we should marry Xiaoying next month."
"I, I, you, you haven't agreed yet?"
"No, we have already considered it. Xiaoying must have seen us considering it, so she said that Xue Yi could escape the marriage." Li Dashan also stood up and said.
"Oh no, oh no, Da Wang is really missing. We searched every corner of the cave but couldn't find him." Tao Xiu'e ran in crying and shouted.
