The child smiled with the kind of smile that could heal the soul. He picked a small wild flower from nowhere and placed it on Chu Huizhou's hand. He blinked, "Brother, your flower is gone." When Chu Huizhou took the flower in his hand, he smiled. The child reached out to pull Pei Yubing and Chu Huizhou's hands together.
The tips of Chu Huizhou's ears turned red involuntarily, and he looked at the soles of his feet and sent the flowers to Pei Yubing. Pei Yubing took the flower in surprise and said, "Thank you, I like it very much." Chu Huizhou breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know what had happened to him recently.
Pei Yubing knelt down and whispered softly, "What's your name?"
A fragment flashed in the child's mind. It was a woman whose face could not be seen clearly. All she said was "Lele, hide here and don't make a sound no matter what happens. You have to live." Then he was taken away by the barbarians, and another The man was killed by the barbarians. The moment he fell, he blocked the place where the child was and looked at him and smiled...
The child was holding his head and losing control. Pei Yubing was beside him and comforted him in a low voice.
After a cup of tea, the child wiped the tears from his eyes and looked at the two of them firmly, "My name is Lele."
Lele rubbed her eyes, "Thank you, big sister and big brother, for your concern. I'm fine. You guys should go back quickly."
Pei Yubing felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the scene in front of him and said, "Lele, do you want to come with us?"
Lele's eyes lit up but then dimmed again. "Thank you, big sister, for your kindness. No need for Lele."
Pei Yubing sighed and stood up. Just as she and Chu Huizhou turned around to take the long way back to the inn, Lele's little hand tugged on Pei Yubing's sleeve. Pei Yubing looked back at him and saw Lele raising her toes. Big sister, big brother, what are your names?"
Pei Yubing burst out laughing, "Pei Yubing, the person next to me is Chu Huizhou."
Lele nodded and pulled Chu Huizhou to signal him to squat down. Chu Huizhou had no choice but to squat down and listened to Lele whispering, "Sister Pei is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, just like the fairy my mother talked about." Likewise, if Brother Chu treats Sister Pei badly in the future, I will compete with you for Sister Pei."
Chu Huizhou wanted to explain that he and Pei Yubing were innocent, but in the end he said nothing.
After Lele said a series of words, "Sister Pei, goodbye brother Chu."
If you look carefully, you can see that the tips of Pei Yubing's ears have a faint pink color.
Pei Yubing turned to Chu Huizhou slightly, "Will Mr. Chu also return to the inn?"
Chu Huizhou responded and then said, "Qian Youcai said later that you can live here if you want. Besides, it's getting late today."
Pei Yubing nodded, "What do you plan to do tomorrow?"
Chu Huizhou thought for a while and said, "If it doesn't work, I will continue to be a storyteller tomorrow."
Chu Huizhou seemed to have thought of something and looked at Pei Yubing with a serious face, "We have known each other for such a long time. Don't sound unfamiliar with Mr. Chu. You can also call me Huizhou."
Pei Yubing said hurriedly, "You must be polite."
Chu Huizhou laughed when he saw Pei Yubing's panic, "Xiao Bingbing~ It's still Xiao Yubing."
Pei Yubing glared at Chu Huizhou, "Master Chu, don't make fun of little girls."
Chu Huizhou looked at Pei Yubing's staring look and found it cute, "No, then I will call you Xiao Bingbing and Xiao Yubing from now on."
Pei Yubing blushed and whispered, "Deng Tuzi."
When they returned to the inn, Pei Yubing ran back. Chu Huizhou saw Pei Yubing running so fast as if there was a wild beast chasing him.
After Pei Yubing returned, she looked at the bronze mirror. The woman in the mirror was shy and charming, and her red lips were slightly parted, giving her a different kind of charm.
At dawn.
Pei Yubing and Chu Huizhou went downstairs to have dinner and happened to meet Chu Huizhou.
When Chu Huizhou saw Pei Yubing, he smiled and said hello, "Good morning, Xiao Yubing."
Pei Yubing's expression paused for a few breaths before he recovered, "Good morning."
The two of them were eating. Chu Huizhou was eating meat and said that he deserved to be in Luo City.
Pei Yubing was silent. Just when the two of them were about to finish eating, the pigeon came in. Pei Yubing hurriedly looked at it and saw a reply from Jiang Yun. The general meaning was that the lady should not worry and will go to Luo City after Jiang Yun's matter is settled. Meet the lady.
Pei Yubing knew in his heart that if Jiang Yunhui believed that they would meet up sooner or later, what about Pei Shuxue.
Pei Yubing fed the pigeons some food, and then flew out again after the pigeons finished eating.
Chu Huizhou looked at Pei Yubing's lost look and asked, "What's wrong?"
Pei Yubing came to his senses, "It's okay, it's Jiang Yun's letter."
Chu Huizhou ate the rice in his mouth, "That's not very good." Intermittently, Pei Yubing still understood, "I don't know what happened to dad and Pei Shuxue."
The two heard the voices of the three policemen who had just come in from behind. One of them said, "A lot of beggars have disappeared recently, and now there are still refugees."
Another voice came, "It's a good thing that the beggar disappeared and the superiors didn't notice it, but what happened is that if something happens to the refugees, the adults will track it down."
He said in a low voice, "Check again after dinner. Too many people have disappeared in Duo Xun Xun."
The remaining two responded and heard nothing else until they finished their meal.
Chu Huizhou originally planned to continue being a storyteller today.
Pei Yubing frowned slightly, glanced at Chu Huizhou, stood up and said, "Mr. Chu... accompany me to see the kid Lele from yesterday." Pei Yubing wanted to call Mr. Chu, but he remembered yesterday.
Chu Huizhou was stunned for a few seconds and then smiled again, "Okay, listen to Xiao Yubing."
Pei Yubing thought that children usually like sweets, so he bought a bunch of candied haws and waited at the place where he met Lele.
The two waited for a whole day without seeing Lele, and finally at night they still hadn't come out. Pei Yubing gave the candied haws to Chu Huizhou.
Chu Huizhou ate it when he got it. It was very sweet and compared well with that world.
Neither of them saw Lele for several days, so they started looking for her on the street, but they couldn't find her.
In the morning, the sun just shines through the sparse clouds and shines on the streets paved with bluestones. The air is filled with a light morning mist. Located in the center of the town, the tall red wall of the Yamen looks particularly solemn and majestic in the morning sun.
Suddenly, the drum in front of the Yamen was beaten, the door opened and several police officers came out. One of them said, "Who is beating the drum here?"
Pei Yubing said, "It was the little girl who knocked it."
The policeman frowned and said, "What kind of officer do you want to report to?"
Pei Yubing clenched his hands, as if trying to calm the panic in his heart.
Chu Huizhou then replied, "Sir, such a child has disappeared! Please make the decision for the little guy!"
After hearing this, the police officer reported it to the judge.
When the judge sitting in the court heard this, he immediately put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at Chu Huizhou seriously. He is a responsible official who knows that behind every report there may be a major case.
"Oh? Tell me about the specific situation." The judge asked in a deep voice.
Chu Huizhou raised his head, with deep helplessness in his eyes: "The villain's surname is Zhang, and there are three people in his family. Last night, the villain and his wife were in the house, and the child was playing alone behind the house. When we went to find the child, he He had disappeared. The villain searched the whole village, but could not find the whereabouts of the child.
