Changping Village.
Nearly seven days have passed since Mo Shi ran away.
In the first three days known as the golden 72 hours, Yang Huazhong mobilized his relatives and friends, Yang Ruoqing dispatched the transportation team and herb collection team, and Risong brought a group of subordinate guards to follow the nearby area. Carpet search.
Mo was not found, but the water monkey that had been free for many years in Lijiacun Reservoir suffered a disaster. It was picked up and visited for a day and then quickly sent to the acrobatic team in Qing'an County. From then on, it will follow the acrobatic team on its journey. A stormy road to the rivers and lakes.
As for Mo, her life and death are still unknown, and her whereabouts are unknown.
After the first three days, the villagers were surprised to find that Lao Yang's family seemed to have given up on searching for Mo.
Yang Huazhong stopped organizing manpower, put on a straw hat, carried a hoe, and went to the fields on time every day.
Yang Huaming, Yang Yongzhi and the others returned to the Taoist temple. As for Yang Ruoqing, Sun and the other female relatives, they were all doing what they were supposed to do.
Even Yang Yongqing himself seems to have accepted the preparation of being a bachelor in the future. Sometimes he leads his daughter around the village, and her daughter plays with the children under the old maple tree. He squats on the side with slumped shoulders and watches. Like a dejected, defeated dog.
That back view made the villagers coming and going feel some sympathy. Many old ladies who also came out to take care of their children would come over to ask him a few questions and comfort him.
He couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the nonsense that was neither nutritious nor helpful in the slightest, so he ignored it all the time with a sullen face.
In the eyes of those old ladies, this turned into a shock to him, and he became even more pitiful in the eyes of everyone.
In Yang Huazhong's main hall, Yang Ruoqing was peeling lotus pods with Sun.
This lotus pod was specially delivered from cousin Zhou Wang yesterday, and it weighed twenty or thirty kilograms.
Yang Ruoqing kept some at home and sent more than ten kilograms to her parents' family.
At this moment, the two women were sitting face to face peeling off the lotus pods, putting the white and tender lotus seeds on one side and the green lotus hearts on the other side.
The lotus seeds and lotus hearts are dried in the sun at that time, and the lotus seeds are left to be stewed with pears and two pieces of rock sugar. After autumn, they are taken out to simmer a pot of soup from time to time. Adults and children in the family can drink it to wake up and moisten the lungs.
As for the lotus heart, it is used to make tea.
In autumn, the sky is clear and the clouds are clear, but it is also easy to get dry. When I am chatting, I hold a bowl of lotus heart tea in my hand, which can refresh the mind and refresh the mind, and can also reduce heat and dryness.
The two of them were stripping and doing household chores, chatting about whatever they wanted, which was very comfortable.
Yang Huazhong came back from wandering in the fields outside. He took off his straw hat and hung it on the wooden stake on the wall. He leaned his hoe against the wall. While saying hello to the couple at the table, he came to the washstand in the corner of the room.
In the basin is cool well water prepared by Sun in advance. The handkerchief used to wash the face is washed and changed every day to ensure it is clean and does not smell like sweat.
Yang Huazhong buried his entire face in the water, washed his diving face, and when he raised his head, he grabbed a handkerchief and wiped it on his face. It felt so comfortable!
"Dad, are you hungry? Do you want to make lunch now?" asked Sun.
Yang Huazhong came to the table and sat down. He picked up the lotus pods and started peeling them off. "I'm not hungry. I won't be too worried about the fever after a while."
Mrs. Sun was relieved. She had cooked this morning, washed a handful of cowpeas at noon, and fried the cowpeas with leftover rice. There was also a bowl of mustard in the kitchen cupboard, which could be eaten together in two times, and it was simple.
Mrs. Sun peeled off the lotus pods with peace of mind and listened to the father and daughter talking.
"Dad, did you go to Lijiacun again last night?" Yang Ruoqing asked with a smile.
The family's farmland covers hundreds of acres, and most of it is near Lijia Village.
There are long-term workers taking care of these fields, but Yang Huazhong, the owner, is restless. He has to go to the fields every day to know the condition of the crops clearly.
After she compiled and analyzed the information provided by Liu a few days ago and focused on several suspects, Yang Huazhong went to Lijia Village almost every day these days, obviously to check the fields, but secretly to pay attention to Li Jiacun. The movements of the village chamber pot guy.
There were no outsiders here, and Yang Huazhong nodded without hesitation: "When I was washing my hands at the pond at the entrance of Lijia Village, I met a chamber pot man who came to fetch water, and I deliberately chatted with him."
"Then what did you find out?" asked Sun in a low voice.
Yang Huazhong shook his head: "Nothing has been tested. He is still the same as before."
"Ah?" Mrs. Sun was stunned for a moment, then turned to Yang Ruoqing and asked with some hesitation: "Qing'er, could it be that we guessed wrong?"
Yang Ruoqing couldn't laugh or cry, with a look of helplessness on her face: "Mom, we must have perseverance in doing things, don't be impatient, let alone rush to self-denial, only by taking a long-term approach can we catch big fish."
Yang Huazhong nodded repeatedly, "Qing'er is right, like your mother, she hurriedly pulls the line as soon as the fishing rod is thrown out, and she doesn't even have time to do it. If she can't calm down and do something, she will always give up halfway!"
Mrs. Sun didn't expect that her casual remarks would arouse the anger of the public and be 'rebuked' by the father and daughter.
Mrs. Sun was not angry, she smiled softly, and said continuously: "Okay, okay, I'm impatient. I won't back down easily. You two can discuss it, and I'll just listen."
Yang Ruoqing gave Sun a cute smile, and leaned her head over to rub Sun's shoulder affectionately twice to show her comfort.
"I'll go back tomorrow and take a pack of tobacco with me. I'll see if I can find a way to talk to the chamber pot guy."
On the other side of the table, Yang Huazhong thought for a while and came up with this idea.
Sun nodded repeatedly and looked up at Yang Huazhong with admiration.
But Yang Ruoqing said something embarrassing: "Dad, please don't."
"Why?" Yang Huazhong was confused, "Isn't shredded tobacco good? Then I will try to find a way to have a meal with Zhengna from Li's village. Then I will bring two jars of wine, get the chamber pot man, and get him drunk to see if it can work. Come up with something to say!”
Sun's eyes of admiration became even fiercer. The child's father really has many tricks.
However, Yang Ruoqing's more disturbing words came one after another.
"Dad, don't, don't, don't, you will alert the enemy!"
"Ah? To alert the enemy? How can you do that?"
"Dad, it's true. Just believe me. From tomorrow on, don't deliberately wander around Lijia Village, let alone find ways to contact the chamber pot guy."
"But without contact, how can we find out whether Mr. Mo was hidden by him? It's been seven days..."
"Dad, don't worry. I have already arranged for people to keep an eye on the chamber pot guy secretly. The people I sent to keep an eye on him are all professionals."
In this case, Yang Huazhong thought for a moment and nodded readily: "Sure, I really don't have much experience in this area. I'm afraid that I have been exposed to it too much. I haven't come up with anything yet, but the chamber pot guy noticed it."
