Chapter 9
Li Yuezhu was already in a hurry, but when he was interrupted by this boy, it was already late, and he didn't know if Uncle Tiezhu was still there.
Li Yuezhu ran to the city gate out of breath, and saw a bullock cart waiting at the gate all the way. The weather was hot, and Uncle Tiezhu was an upright person, and he didn't know how to go to enjoy the shade under a big tree.
"Uncle, Uncle Tiezhu, I'm back!"
Li Yuezhu's face was red as she ran away, with several packages of snacks and two hens hanging in her hands.
"Hey, girl, slow down, slow down."
Uncle Tiezhu reached out and took the dim sum and the two chickens from Li Yuezhu's hand.
"It seems that you girl got a good price today. Not only did you buy rice and noodles this time, you also bought two hens."
Li Yuezhu was still breathing heavily. After listening to Uncle Tiezhu's words, she was still a little shy: "No, no, the owner of the garment shop fell in love with my mother's embroidery skills. He saw how pitiful I was, so he gave me more money.
I thought it had been a long time since I saw any meat at home, so I bought two hens."
"Xiao Zhu'er is such a considerate and good child. Sit down quickly and take your time. Why are you running in such a hurry when you have nothing to do? Uncle can't run away anymore."
"Didn't I see that the time we agreed on has arrived, so I rushed here in a hurry."
"You little girl, after I brought you out, why don't I take you back? Even if you are an hour late, uncle will wait for you from here."
When Li Yuezhu heard this, he said he was not moved, but that was a lie.
In fact, there was nothing to clean up, because the snacks were scattered all over the floor, and she didn't have time to clean them up. After getting on the ox cart, Li Yuezhu chatted with Uncle Tiezhu, while sorting out the snacks in her hands.
When they returned to Lijia Village, it was already dark. Uncle Tiezhu drove the oxcart to the door of Li Yuezhu's house and helped her move the rice and noodles into the house.
Before leaving, Li Yuezhu left a pack of snacks for Uncle Tiezhu. For poor people, it is already difficult to have a full meal. How can they have spare money to buy snacks?
After sending Uncle Tiezhu away, Li Yuezhu walked into the house happily. Xiao An would be very happy when he saw these snacks.
"Xiao An, Xiao An, sister is back. What did she bring back to you?"
Li Yuezhu put the snacks on the table and called for a long time without seeing a reply from Xiao An.
"Xiao An, Xiao An?" Li Yuezhu walked around the room and saw no sign of Xiao An.
"Strange, where did Xiao An run away?"
Her mother wasn't at home either, and Xiao An didn't know where she went to play. Li Yuezhu packed up and prepared to make rice. She put some rice in a basin and prepared to take it to the well to wash the rice.
As soon as she walked out of the room, she saw someone hiding at the door of her courtyard. It was dark outside and she couldn't see clearly. Li Yuezhu had to carry the basin and walked to the door. It was a boy slightly older than Xiao An, with a big head and a big head.
With his eyes shining brightly, he looked at Li Yuezhu timidly.
"Sister Xiaozhu, go and save Xiao An..."
This child was also timid when speaking. He was still hiding behind the door and looking at Li Yuezhu eagerly.
"What's wrong with Xiao An?"
Li Yuezhu heard that the child said this and quickly asked.
"Xiao An and I were playing in the yard just now, and my third aunt suddenly ran in and took Xiao An away." The little girl picked her nose and continued, "While walking, my third aunt said that she wanted to sell Xiao An to the mountains."
"What?"
With a clang, the basin Li Yuezhu was holding fell to the ground, and the rice in the plate spilled all over the floor.
"Where is my mother? Has my little brother seen my mother?"
"Aunt Zhou, I just got the news. I've been gone for more than half an hour now and I haven't come back yet."
Li Yuezhu was immediately confused. She calmed her pounding heart and took a few deep breaths.
Her mother has a submissive nature. This can be seen from yesterday. Her mother has been gone for more than half an hour now, and she still hasn't brought Xiao An back. I'm afraid it's very bad.
This third aunt has a very vicious heart. Not only did she not get what she wanted yesterday, she was also wronged here. A person like him would never be able to swallow this, even if he really didn't dare to sell Xiao An.
, and he won’t give Xiaoan good fruits to eat.
After figuring this out, Li Yuezhu quickly pulled out the child hiding behind the door.
"Little brother, can you take your sister to the village chief's house?"
The child seemed to have never seen such a serious expression on Li Yuezhu. He was startled, nodded quickly, and led the way.
It was getting dark, and the roads in the village were already muddy. In this dark environment, Li Yuezhu tripped several times.
She couldn't sit back and wait for death like this. Her mother probably couldn't be counted on. If the village chief had an upright character, it would be fine, but if he was also an unreasonable person, it would be terrible.
Li Yuezhu followed the child. She blinked and called up the shopping system. The two handkerchiefs she hung up in the morning had already been sold, and the buyer even made a considerate evaluation.
Li Yuezhu used the 73 yuan he just got from his account to buy a low-quality electric baton from the shopping system. This electric baton needs to be charged and stored. In this backward ancient times, it is obviously impossible to use it for a long time. Of course, Li Yuezhu
I don't plan on using it for a long time either.
But the electric prod I just bought is full of energy. This kind of thing will only stun people. I hope I won’t use it tonight!
The little boy soon took Li Yuezhu to a house.
"Sister Xiaozhu, this is the village chief's home."
This is a blue brick house, and even the yard is made of blue bricks, unlike Li Yuezhu's house which is all made of mud.
"Grandpa Village Chief, Grandpa Village Chief, Grandpa Village Chief, are you at home?"
Li Yuezhu shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Who is it? You are having dinner late at night, who is this?"
The old village chief seemed a little impatient. When he opened the door, he saw two children and no adults beside them.
"Hey, isn't this Zhu Yatou from the Dayi family? What do you want to see grandpa for?"
"Grandpa, the village chief, is like this. My brother Xiao An is missing. It seems that he was taken away by his third aunt. Xiao An just stole some of the things from his third aunt, and she took Xiao An away by force. Please go and have a look.
What if, what if the third aunt sells Xiao An!"
After Li Yuezhu finished speaking, he squeezed out two tears. His childish words made the old village chief amused.
"You kid, what are you saying? Even if your third aunt is a bit shrewd and unreasonable, she will definitely not sell Xiao An."
"Grandpa, village chief, please go and have a look with Zhu'er. Zhu'er is afraid, afraid..."
