Chapter 18

In the evening, news came that the grandson of the old village chief's family had indeed disappeared.

Li Yuezhu's mother, Mrs. Zhou, had just come down from the fields with a hoe when she heard the news. She hurried home, put down the hoe and wanted to go out and help find someone.

"Mom, you can have a bowl of porridge before going out. You have been working in the fields all day, so don't be exhausted."

Li Yuezhu steamed rice tonight, and there were some pickles on the plate. Mrs. Zhou was still in the mood to eat. The village chief took good care of them. Mrs. Zhou was also a real person. She couldn't help with other things. It was difficult to find someone like this.

It would be outrageous to shrink back.

"Zhu'er, please stay at home and take good care of your brother. Mom is going out to help. You two should have a rest early."

Mrs. Zhou hurried out without even eating or changing her clothes.

Li Yuezhu held Xiao An's hand and stood in the yard for a while. Listening to the noise outside, it seemed that the two sons of Li Cuihua's family did not hide the child in their own home.

"Xiao An, let's go to eat."

Xiao An also had some abnormalities today. In the past, Xiao An was very enthusiastic when he heard about eating, and he wanted to eat the whole pot together, but today he ate absent-mindedly.

"Xiao An, eat. Do you think your sister didn't cook for you? In two days, my sister will go to the county town to buy some vegetables for Xiao An."

"No sister, Xiao An is just worried about brother Xiao Yuan. Brother Xiao Yuan caught a fish for Xiao An a while ago. Sister, do you still remember? It's the small fish that my mother made for us two days ago."

"Brother Xiaoyuan?"

"Yes, isn't it said outside that Brother Xiaoyuan can't be found? Xiao An is also worried about Brother Xiaoyuan."

Li Yuezhu touched Xiao An's head and thought thoughtfully, where would the two brothers hide the child.

"Xiao An, hurry up and finish eating, go to bed early, and wait until tomorrow to find your brother Xiaoyuan."

Li Yuezhu hugged Xiao An on the bed, thinking about the two brothers' plot today. They would definitely not do anything excessive to Xiao Yuan. After all, they were planning on the orchard in the hands of the old village chief.

If the old village chief insists on holding on to the orchard in his hands, the wicked brothers will definitely take action against Xiao Yuan.

The weather was hot, and Xiao An's body felt like a furnace. When he heard Xiao An's even breathing, Li Yuezhu let go of the hand holding him.

It should be nine o'clock now, and there is still noisy outside. It seems that the villagers have not found Xiaoyuan. If the two brothers did not hide the child in the village, then where did they hide it?

When tonight is over, the two Li brothers will definitely threaten the village chief, and the old village chief is eager to save Sun and will definitely take out the orchard. Time waits for no time. If Li Yuezhu wants to get the orchard, he must not let the two brothers succeed. It is best

Find the child before threatening the village chief.

Li Yuezhu couldn't lie down anymore when she thought about it. She slowly pushed away Xiao An who was pressing on her, and got out of bed lightly. There was no moonlight outside, so Li Yuezhu had no choice but to put on her shoes in the dark and take out the shoe she bought from under the bed.

He put an electric prod on his waistband and opened the door secretly.

"Sister, where are you going?"

Li Yuezhu did not expect that Xiao An, who had always slept deeply, would suddenly wake up today.

"Sister, go to the toilet. Xiao An is sleeping in the room."

"Sister, are you going to find brother Xiaoyuan? Xiaoan wants to go with your sister."

"Xiao An, be obedient, sister, and come back as soon as you go."

Seeing that Xiao An had guessed it, Li Yuezhu didn't hide it from him: "After sister leaves, Xiao An will lock the door. No one is allowed to open it except mother and sister who knock on the door. Do you hear me?"

Xiao An quickly climbed down from the bed. He ran to Li Yuezhu and hugged Li Yuezhu's thigh tightly: "Sister, I also want to go with my sister to save brother Xiaoyuan."

Li Yuezhu saw Xiao An's serious look and burst out laughing: "You are so small and you can't take care of yourself. How can you save your brother Xiao Yuan?"

"Sister, just take Xiao An with you. Xiao An is at home alone. What if those bad guys come to our house and kidnap me?"

Li Yuezhu looked at Xiao An's scared look. His mother was not at home and she did not dare to leave him alone at home.

"Then we agreed that you must be a good sister and not disobey and act alone."

"Okay, Xiao An listens to her sister the most."

Xiao An quickly put on his coat and shoes, hurriedly fixed his hair, picked up the silk bag on the table, and went out with Li Yuezhu.

Li Yuezhu was walking on the road with Xiao An. The village was particularly uneasy tonight. The originally dark path was brightly lit, and from time to time, shouts and dog barking could be heard from a distance.

Li Yuezhu led Xiao An sneakily through the narrow paths in the village. Today's weather was extremely hot and sultry, and not a single star could be seen in the sky. They quickly walked out of the village.

"Sister, aren't we looking for brother Xiaoyuan? Where are we going?"

Li Yuezhu took Xiao An to the mountains. During the day, he didn't think anything of it. At night, there was no light or moonlight. Li Yuezhu had been disturbed several times.

"Your brother Xiaoyuan is not in the village, he is in the mountains."

"Why is Brother Xiaoyuan on the mountain? Didn't he get lost in the village?"

In the afternoon, Li Yuezhu and Xiao An were cooking in the yard and heard the conversation of two people outside.

"How did you lose the child?"

"Xiaoyuan's mother, Mrs. Zhao, turned around to hang the clothes, and Xiaoyuan disappeared. Then the old village chief came to look for Xiaoyuan, but couldn't find him. Only then did he know that he was lost."

Li Yuezhu held Xiao An's hand. After all, Xiao An was still young and couldn't walk as fast as Li Yuezhu. Holding her hand, Xiao An still staggered when walking.

"Although your brother Xiaoyuan was lost in the village, he may not still be in the village now."

"What my sister means is that someone took brother Xiaoyuan away and hid him like Xiaoan."

"Xiao An is so smart."

Li Yuezhu took Xiao An's hand and walked through the small woods to the official road. Only then did the road become smoother. It was dark all around and nothing could be seen.

The originally dull air was blown away by a gust of cool wind, and a hazy moon shadow appeared in the sky.

Under the moonlight, Li Yuezhu held the electric baton in his left hand and held Xiao An in his right hand, walking up the mountain along the official road.

According to Li Yuezhu's memory, she soon arrived at the place where she met Jin Yan's brother. She remembered that she was sitting in a carriage and reached the foot of the mountain in only ten minutes. According to her and Xiao An's foot strength, they could reach there in about half an hour's walk.

An orchard.

Seeing that Xiao An next to him was panting from exhaustion, he still tried hard to follow Li Yuezhu's footsteps and move forward.

"Sister, what is that?"
