When Gu Tiancheng was on Zongfu Street, he realized that Zhaodi was still on the East Street, his head felt hot and his feet went limp.Maybe I also ran back to Dongdajie, huddled among the crowd and searched for a while?After returning to Mo Bo's house, I only remember crying and shouting all the way in, which shocked the whole family.I heard that Zhaodi was squeezed out in Dongdajie, but what everyone said and how to advocate is very vague. I only remember that Qian's sister-in-law repeatedly asked Mrs. Zhou to call Dageng to look for her, and Mobaoniang wiped her tears and said: "That's pitiful! That's pitiful!"

It went on all night with no effect.For three days in a row, I asked for lottery, divination, fortune-telling, wishing, viewing flowers, looking at round light, painting eggs, all kinds of methods were used, but it still had no effect.He was, groggy, just crying.He didn't dare to say why he lost his younger brother, and he didn't dare to go out to look for him himself, for fear of meeting his opponent.Those who are concerned can only persuade them like this: "Don't be too nauseous! It's all predestined, and she deserves this disaster. Even if she doesn't die, she will definitely die of illness. If you take a step back and think about it, you have the right to treat her as a victim." Died of a sudden illness!" Or: "Zhaodi is already so old, he is not completely ignorant, and his appearance is not bad, maybe he will be robbed by the rich man of the rare girl, so it is better than being in your house. It’s okay!” He also gave many examples, some of them have abandoned their children for twenty years, until they have completely forgotten about them, but they still find them and come back, knelt down to recognize their parents.

Two days later, my uncle and aunt also became cold, and said to him: "I've been missing my younger brother for a few days, I'm afraid I won't be able to find him! Your appearance has changed. My second daughter-in-law's belly is getting bigger and bigger. I'm afraid it will only be in the next few days. We don't want to keep you here, which makes you sad, but you should go back and take care of yourself. Leave this matter a little colder, and come to the city to play." When Gu Tiancheng got up and went home on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, he felt as if he had suffered a serious illness. He forced himself out of the north gate and went to the reception hall. .All the way in a daze, I don't know when, I walked to the door by myself.The sedan chair was put down, and Aaron, who came to scold the dog because the leopard Hei Baozhi was barking at the bearer, only saw him, and rushed to ask: "Did Zhao brother come too?" He seemed to be thinking in his heart. Like a knife, Tao burst into tears with a bang.Regardless of everything, he rushed into the main room, lifted the white cloth spirit curtain, leaned on his wife's coffin, and cried, "Mom! Mom! I really can't think about it! My younger brother disappeared on the East Street!  … ...You have a miracle... Bring her back!..." Even when his wife died, he never cried like this.

The whole farm knew that Zhaodi was lost, and it was squeezed out by watching the lights on the eleventh night of the first lunar month.The neighbors all came to inquire, but the Zhong family and his wife were not seen, saying that they had gone to the Zeng's house in the city. Aaron was not convinced, he said: "Damn it! I just don't believe it, I won't be able to find it if I lose it! How big is Chengdu Province!" The next day, Aaron left without eating. When Gu Tiancheng heard this, he also hoped that Aaron could really find Zhaodi, and thought, "Maybe Zhaodi's mother is behind the scenes?"So he lit a pair of candles and three long incense sticks in front of his wife's spiritual tablet, kowtowed three times respectfully, until the third kowtow, and fell silently on the ground for a long time.Suddenly recalling his usual behavior, he cried out: "Mom, I usually make trouble with women, so this is not my retribution? Mom, as long as you are effective and get Zhaodi back, I will never mess around again! "

After he prayed, he seemed to be confident, and his hope of recruiting his brother back seemed even greater.I kept saying in my heart: "Aaron will definitely find her"!On this day, he was quite energetic and kept his eyes hanging, waiting until the moonlight illuminated the treetops. The next day I waited again, but in the morning I was fine, and I was able to talk to my neighbors and say, "Supposing my younger brother is back"; and I planned to kill a chicken and cook it for her to eat when she came back.But in the afternoon, my heart became restless, and the longer I waited, the more impatient I became, and I couldn't even stand at home. It was Aaron who came back with Zhaodi.It was almost dusk when Ah San pulled her back and said: "You are crazy too! Aaron has never even entered the city gate, how can he find anyone? I am afraid he will fall too! Go back to sleep! You Look, you have become less humanoid!"

As long as the words are correct, asking Aaron to find a younger brother is really ridiculous; but he has already become enlightened to the spirits of the dead, and he has sworn that death is a god, as long as he examines his sincerity, there is no obvious truth. Yes, besides, it's her own daughter?Gu Tiancheng sincerely believed in his truth.However, people couldn't support it after all, and since the eleventh night of the first lunar month, they haven't had a good night's sleep.So when the owl hooted, he was still sitting on the master chair and fell asleep. It was already dawn the next day, Ah San came to ask him to eat, and when he woke up, he felt cold and sore all over his body, his head seemed to be dilated, his eyeballs were swollen and painful, and his nose was swollen.Just barely eating a bowl of rice soup with rice, Aaron suddenly walked into the kitchen.

He hurriedly put down his job, opened his mouth, opened his eyes, and looked at Aaron. Aaron kept silent, walked straight and sat on the fire bench, holding his head in both hands.
