Chapter 17 Section VI

However, Sun Ba did not show up. Ah Liu makes a mark on the calendar every day.After memorizing a round, Ah Liu couldn't help thinking: Is the matter resolved?The gigantic loan of fifty taels is also very effective for Sun Ba's self-righteous out-of-shape head? Early that morning, the autumn rain began to tick down.It has suddenly become cold these days, and I can feel the deep autumn feeling even more this morning.Perhaps that's why Ah Xing sneezed and had a runny nose when he woke up. "Looks like I have a cold. Today is the day to go to Fachunyuan, but please take a day off."

Ah Liu asked Ah Xing to sleep, but Ah Dao was full of energy, clamoring to go outside, to the Fachun Courtyard, and refused to listen to anything.As a last resort, Ah Liu had no choice but to send her there.When he was about to go out to pick up A Dao, the vegetable seller happened to bring the vegetables. "Let me pick it up for you," said the uncle. "It's too dangerous for Ah Dao to walk outside alone. But Ah Liu, how long will this pick-up and drop-off last?" To the uncle's mocking smile, Ah Liu also responded with a smile: "I'm really sorry, uncle. But, let's do it until I'm satisfied..."

until satisfied.When Ah Liu asked Jiubei with anxiety, "How long can you stay here?" He also answered in the same way. "There's a lot to worry about. Well, until I'm satisfied." It was a busy day, and two carpenters came to repair some imperfections that Jiubei had found in the house.It seems that some repairs are more troublesome than expected, and even Mrs. Kui came to check and talk about it together.Ah Liu was very happy to see his wife looking lively and enjoying herself.Rather than being alone, it is more suitable for my wife to take charge of family affairs like this.

Ah Liu's joyful mood disappeared within a while, like cold water being poured on his head.The vegetable seller's son's face changed drastically, and he came running out of breath. "My father was seriously injured and was carried home with a door panel. He was covered in blood and was half dead. Before he passed out, he held my hand tightly and shouted A Dao. Excuse me, this refers to your A Dao here, right?" ? My father often mentions that...it is the daughter of Ah Liu, Ah Dao, right?" Ah Liu suddenly felt like five thunderbolts.A Dao?What happened to A Dao? "So, A Dao is not with Uncle?"

"Should we be together?" Ah Liu screamed at Ah Dao, and searched around the house, but he couldn't find anyone.She went to Fachunyuan and never came back. And the vegetable seller was seriously injured and his life was dying—— It's Sun Ba's good deed! "You don't have to look around, just wait for that man to come." What Kyubei said was absolutely correct.Not long after, Sun Ba came to look for Ah Liu at a leisurely and relaxed pace.The two were talking by the well again. "What's the matter, Liu? Look at your pale face." "A Dao is gone."

Due to anger and fear, Ah Liu's voice trembled, and he couldn't even speak well. "Oh, this is terrible. Kidnapped?" "You took it away?" Sun Ba exhaled a breath that smelled of rancid water, and stared at Ah Liu tightly. "So what?" "What do you want? Where is A Dao?" "I left it with my friend. I tell you, it's useless to find it. I have a lot of people." "Is Dao alright?" "It's fine now." Sun Ba finished with a smile, and leaned over with his whole body. "Ah Liu, I won't treat you badly, elope with me! It's not difficult, you just take Ah Xing by the hand and leave the house right now. What can I do with you if I'm in debt?"

Ah Liu gritted her teeth, she knew what Sun Ba would say next. "If you don't come with me, you will never see A Dao again in this life. Would you rather be like this? Put debt repayment and A Dao on both sides of the scale, which one is more important?" From hearing the bad news about Uncle Vegetable Sellers to now, in a short period of time, Jiubingwei has given Ah Liu concise and quick instructions.After Sun Ba came, he first tried to win him over with words to delay the time, as long as one night was enough. "Liu, I understand how you feel. It's unbearable for A Dao to stay with that man for one night. I know this very well. But you have to be patient. And, before you show your attitude, that man will never I won’t attack A Dao, so that he has the leverage to tell you to leave the house. So you have to endure for one night. I promise, just one night will be fine.”

Even so, Ah Liu still begged, asking Jiubei to let her go to Banya to report the crime.As long as Sun Baguai took his daughter away, no matter how unreasonable the people in Fanwu were, they would definitely arrest that man. However, Kuhei shook his head. "Indeed, Fanya will take action this time. It's easy to catch Sun Ba, but with this move, no matter what kind of torture the man was subjected to to extract a confession, whether it was crushed by a stone or hanged upside down, I'm afraid he would not reveal it. Where the Tao is. Only Sun Ba knows where the child is hiding. If you don’t ask, even if you can put him in prison, you still lose. He knows this very well.”

"You mean, A Dao and I will be separated alive?" "Yes, that's right. In Sun Ba's opinion, this is the best revenge." It has never been so difficult to calm my heart like this time.Ah Liu's legs were about to move, he just wanted to run around looking for A Dao; his hands were itchy, he just wanted to pinch Sun Ba's neck.To restrain oneself is worse than death. But Ah Liu tried his best to hold back.He lifted his chin vigorously, looked into Sun Ba's eyes and said, "I can't leave this room now. People nearby are all gathered and are looking for A Dao everywhere. It's a big mess. If I leave this room and walk outside, It’s sure to turn heads.”

Please wait one night and come again before dawn tomorrow——Ah Liu begged Sun Ba so much. "At that time, you must bring A Dao. If I didn't see the child with my own eyes, how would I know that she is safe and sound? No, don't mention her safety first, I don't know whether your words are true or not." "Don't be stupid. How can I have time to bring A Dao here? Don't you believe me?" "It's not that I don't believe you... But, this is the feeling of being a mother!" Ah Liuning didn't want to say the next sentence, but he still tried his best to continue, and even put his hand on Sun Ba's elbow - Mrs. Kui ordered her to do so.

"Sun Ba, if you want to be the father of those two children, you have to be considerate of my feelings." The corner of Sun Ba's mouth grinned presumptuously and shamelessly. "Is it the mood of being a parent? Oh, I really can't do anything about you." "Then, are you willing to bring her here?" "No, that's not allowed." Sun Ba seemed to be enjoying Ah Liu's entreaties. "However, if you leave with me tomorrow, I will take you to find A Dao right away. Is this okay for the head office?" "But……" "I can't bring her here. Are you stupid? You don't know how much effort I have spent trying to take A Dao away." Ah Liu was so angry that he could hardly breathe, and he couldn't say anything for a while.She lowered her head slumped and pretended to be disappointed, but she had tried her best. Sun Ba patted her on the shoulder. "Don't worry, we'll see you tomorrow." "Is the child scared? Is there anyone to take care of her?" "Don't worry, how could I treat her badly!" Sun Ba warmly wrapped his arms around Ah Liu's waist. "As you said, I will soon be the father of Xing and Dao." As soon as Sun Bay left, Jiubingwei and Mrs. Kui didn't care about Ah Liu who was trembling with anger, and hurriedly started to act.After a while, Jiubingwei called the sedan chair, told him that he would be back at night, and went out.Mrs. Kui called Ah Liu and Ah Xing into her room, and after Ah Liu managed to put the feverish Ah Xing to sleep, they immediately talked about the next step. Ah Liu couldn't believe it.Does such a strategy really work?It's too whimsical.Not to mention anything else, is there really anyone in this world who can do it?Even if there is, can you come to help when you are called? "I -- no, my master has a wide circle of people." Mrs. Kui showed a bold smile, "I'm sorry for Sun Ba, but my master has seen much more world than Sun Ba, and has many connections. Of course, there is also a lot of money, and this little thing is very easy.” "But……" "Just wait and see! Then, you have to do what we say. Success or failure depends on this, Liu, you have to work hard." At midnight, Jiubei finally returned.What is amazing is that he also brought five or six men and women, pushing a cart loaded with a large amount of luggage. "We need to borrow the power of these people. But, I will arrange everything, so you don't have to worry about it, Liu." When Jiubei explained, the group of people brought back had unloaded their luggage separately and moved into the house.Counting, there are five men and one woman.The woman was not young, but she was still glamorous, and when she passed by Ah Liu, her strange hairstyle, which was pulled up with a comb, gave off a unique fragrance. Ah Liu thought, could it be an artist?The men in the same group were not like ordinary people, and everyone's skills were very brisk. For the rest of the night, Ah Liu devoted all his attention to discussing with Mrs. Kui.Madam said it was called "rehearsal". "I think, since you won't be able to fall asleep anyway, I won't force you to rest. Instead, you have to practice the words and movements you're going to tell Sun Ba tomorrow, so that you don't get them in the wrong order." As the night gradually deepened, Ah Liu thought of A Dao at every turn, and couldn't help crying. Madam encouraged her and encouraged her, looking extremely strong.Her attitude was so calm, Ah Liu even felt that she was a little heartless. Those six strange men and women rattled and rattled around the house until dawn.They assembled thin bamboo pieces in the corner of the corridor, as if they were doing some kind of mechanism, and there were some paper things.No matter what he did, Ah Liu couldn't figure out why.
