"No, let's do it another day." Li Luansong declined, "I still have tasks to do today."
Chen Da couldn't help but said, holding the child with one hand and holding Li Liansong's arm tightly with the other, as if he was afraid that he would run away:
"My benefactor, my benefactor, you helped me find the child. You are the benefactor of our whole family. Today you have to come home with me no matter what. I have to thank you very much. This child is the life of our whole family. If I lose the child, our family will not be able to survive, and you can’t leave even if you say nothing.”
"But, today is really inconvenient, how about another day." Li Luansong wanted to let go of Chen Da's hand, but he was very strong, so he couldn't use too much force.
"No, it's just today. Why wait to repay a favor?" Chen Da insisted, and the two started to fight.
The two people were pushing and shoving so loudly that Liu Zi was frightened. The little girl burst into tears and cried. She hugged Chen Da's neck tightly and shouted "Daddy, Dad". She even freed up one hand to pat him. Li Luansong's arms.
This made Li Luansong amused, "You are such a considerate girl. If I love you so much, you may think that I am the bad guy who beat her father."
He turned around and smiled at Liu Zi, who still had tears on his face but was no less energetic. He frowned and glared at Li Luansong with a puffy mouth.
The little baby with fierce breasts made Li Luansong laugh.
At first glance, Chen Da didn't have any evil intentions. He was a straight-forward and reckless man. Li Luansong had no choice but to look at the sky and see that the sun was about to set. It didn't matter, just let him go. Maybe some fellow villagers could still find out about her. whereabouts.
The two walked together, Liu Zi hugged Chen Da tightly, and Li Luansong stretched out his hand to pat him: "Come here, uncle, give me a hug."
Liu Zili ignored him and turned away. After a while, he turned back to glare at him and continued to ignore him.
"That's great. He has a bad temper and won't be trifled with in the future." Li Luansong praised her while laughing and teasing her all the way.
Li Luansong was the insider who infiltrated the bandits. He lurked for several months to find out the information and then contacted the capital and Shuofang Army. As the general of Shuofang Army's bandit suppression, he annihilated the bandits in one fell swoop. Not only that, but also the forces behind the banditry. Captured together, the crisis that had been pressing on the border of Daye for a long time was completely resolved.
Being in Daye and Fengyi in the imperial court was naturally a great and gratifying event that would benefit future generations, but Li Luansong was not happy because Shen Que was lost, and he was also lost in Fengyi.
He knew how difficult the situation was here a few months ago. He roughly guessed why she stayed and refused to leave. He only blamed himself for bringing disaster to her once again.
After the bandit suppression was over, he started looking for someone, but due to her identity and being unable to ask openly, it was much more difficult to find her.
But he still went to the streets every day, eager to see her one day.
Just like a few days ago, Li Luansong happened to pass by in front of this shop and suddenly saw a woman standing on the steps. The woman's back was turned to him, but her figure and movements were very familiar.
The woman wore an aqua-green skirt with no jewelry on her body. She only wore a bun with a floral cloth of the same color, dressing up like a local village woman.
Li Luansong's heart had jumped into his throat at that time, and he stood there waiting for her to turn around.
The sun was very bright, and the woman covered her eyes with her hands and turned her body slightly. Li Luansong didn't see clearly but felt that he was ridiculous. How could it be her? He walked away in frustration.
After he left, Shen Que looked in the direction in which he was walking away, and there seemed to be someone who looked very much like him.
It was Shen Que who took Chen Da to look at the shop that day. Later, the two of them went home laughing and chatting like an ordinary young couple.
The two gentlemen walked home, but they didn't know that the house was already in a mess.
Aunt Chen and Zelan also came back and were sitting by the bed crying. While crying, they scolded Mrs. Chen:
"Useless things can be thrown away even if you look after your own children at home. If Liu Zi can't be found today, I won't recognize him."
"My child, little Liu Zi, it makes me heartbroken just thinking about it."
The old man cried so hard that he couldn't help but Shen Zhen, who was standing beside him, wanted to persuade him but didn't know how to speak.
The Golden Crow fell to the west. It has been more than half a day and Chen Da has not come back yet. Could it be that something really happened.
Shen Que was so anxious that he was sweating all over and his head was buzzing. He could only force himself to calm down. There was a little baby in the yard. Chen Da was just pouring water. How could this be possible when Liu Zi couldn't walk? Lost it, I'm afraid someone caused trouble.
His thoughts stayed at this moment, and Shen Que felt angry and aggrieved as never before.
Zelan couldn't sit still, so he ran to the door of the courtyard to look around, spinning around the big tree at the door.
Until he saw a figure appearing in the distance, it was Chen Da. Zelan wiped away his tears and looked closer. He was holding Xiao Liuzi in his arms.
There was no time to think about it, and he didn't even see Li Luansong next to him. Zelan ran all the way home to report the news: "Madam, Liu Zi has been found. Madam, Brother Chen is back. The two of them walked to the gate of the courtyard together."
Hearing a sound of "ouch", she must have been too frightened. Aunt Chen picked up the broom behind the door and ran out.
It happened that Chen Da was walking to the entrance of the courtyard with Liu Zi in his arms. Before he could call someone, he saw his mother dancing over him holding a big broom and shining it on him.
Chen Da dodged and shouted: "Mom, be careful not to hurt Liu Zi."
"You still know that you are hurting the child. I called you stupid, I called you stupid, you can't even look after your child at home." Aunt Chen couldn't help but continue to beat, "I will beat you to death today, you beast."
Chen Da hugged the child and hid, while Aunt Chen beat her with a broom. After only a few turns, she was exhausted and panting. Shen Que and Zelan worked together to persuade the old lady, and then they held Liu Zi in their arms.
Liu Zi thought Grandma was playing around with Chen Da, and the little girl kept giggling, her eyes narrowed with joy, and she kept shouting: "Dad, Mom, Grandma..." "
What a happy family, but Li Luansong turned to stone at that moment.
Shen Que helped Liu Zi wipe away the dirt on his face, and then looked at it carefully. With just one glance, he felt that his whole body was frozen.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him. He was much thinner and darker, but his figure was getting stronger and taller. The person in front of him was looking at her with tears in his eyes and a smile on his face.
Who else could it be if it wasn't Li Luansong?
At that moment, Shen Que felt that the grievance and bitterness he had been holding back for more than half a year could no longer be controlled. It was like a flood bursting its banks, and he cried loudly.
Zelan looked at Li Luansong blankly, and timidly shouted: "Your Highness."
Aunt Chen and Mrs. Chen on the side were stunned. The old lady reacted quickly and quickly took the Liu Zi from Shen Que's hand and took her son into the house. Zelan looked at Shen Que and followed Aunt Chen back to the house. went.
Li Luansong, he appeared, finally appeared in front of his eyes, Shen Que burst into tears, Li Luansong went up to hug her, Shen Que was so angry that he beat and beat her.
The blows falling on Li Luansong were like scratching an itch, but she still had no strength. He comforted her with tears in his eyes: "Yuyu, it's me, I'm back, I'm back to find you."
"You..." Shen Que almost lost his breath from crying and choked: "Where have you been? Do you know that I have been looking for you for more than half a year? Do you know that I thought you were dead? Li Luansong, I thought you were If you die, I will never see you again in this life.”
"I know, I know everything. Now that I'm back, look at me standing in front of you." Li Luansong held the exhausted Shen Que in his arms, "I'm back and I won't let you worry anymore."
He had been looking for her for quite some time. Even in the dead of night, he would have random thoughts. He was afraid that something would happen to a weak woman like her, and he was also afraid that she would hurt her body...
The setting sun shone on the two of them, and it was a beautiful picture of a reunion after a long absence. In this gentle and charming light, the two stood for a long time, until they calmed down their inner turmoil and regained their senses, then they went together. Walk in the yard.
There are still too many questions to ask, and too much to say. Don’t be in a hurry, just take your time.
An attractive aroma has drifted out of the small yard, and Zelan and Mrs. Chen are cooking in the kitchen.
Although the mother and son did not hear Zelan's "Your Highness" clearly just now, they understood everything in an instant when they saw Shen Que's excited expression.
The person she was waiting for finally came back.
Chen Da sat silently by the bed, watching Liu Zi doing somersaults and playing on the bed. His heart fell to the bottom, feeling lost and helpless.
Happy for her, but also a little unhappy.
Aunt Chen came in with the prepared dishes, took a look at her lost son, and stepped forward and said, "Go get some good wine."
Chen Da didn't say anything and stood up obediently. When she walked past her mother, Chen Da Niang said: "She doesn't belong here. You know it. It's our destiny to have this fate. Mom, I wish her well. You That’s right.”
Chen Da curled his mouth helplessly with tears in his eyes, "Yes, I hope she is well, and I hope Liu Zi is well."
When Liu Zi heard Chen yelling for her, she opened her little arms and shouted: "Dad, dad..."
This scene was seen by Shen Que and Li Luansong who were walking in. Looking at the intimacy between father and daughter, and then looking at the happiness on Shen Que's face for his daughter, Li Luansong heard his own heartbroken voice.
Whose child is this? he asked silently in his mind.
Looking at Chen Da looking at the child with tender eyes, and then looking at Shen Que walking over to hug the little baby, the little baby kissed her on the face and kept shouting: Mother, mother...
Dad, Mom.
Is this their child, the child of Shen Que and that man? Do they have children?
For a moment, it felt as if a thin thread was tied to his heart. Someone suddenly pulled out the thread, and Li Luansong's heart kept trembling and twitching, and it was painful.
