Chapter 95 Chapter 5 Missing

I was still wondering why the mother and son walked back in a panic, and the boatman urged us to get on the bamboo raft after all.I used to be a bit of a nosy person, but now seeing the mother and son rushing back, I probably have something very urgent. Of course, I have to stop and listen to what the mother and son are up to.The boatman saw that we didn't answer his words, but looked back, so he also stretched out his head to look into the mulberry field, and then said in surprise, "Why is Xiaoyu back again?" Before the mother came near us, she yelled, "Uncle Long, wait a minute, we have to cross the river!"

"What's the matter, didn't the child be found? What are you doing there?" The old man called Long Bo replied hoarsely. As soon as Uncle Long finished speaking, the mother walked up to us anxiously, and we saw clearly that she was about to cry, and she was in a state of disorientation.The little boy was also sobbing intermittently, obviously crying from fright.I just wanted to open my mouth to ask what was going on, but I didn't know what to call the mother in front of me.I remember that Uncle Long called her Xiaoyu just now, so I asked, "Aunt Yu, what's the matter, the children have come back, so don't be angry."

"The child hasn't come back...not...not come back." Aunt Yu also began to sob, unable to utter a complete sentence. However, Aunt Yu's words made me stunned. Isn't her child standing beside her? How can the child not come back? Do people like to talk nonsense when they are excited?I know I am an outsider.But I still couldn't help asking again: "Didn't the child let you hold it?" "It's his sister. My sister is gone, Xiaoyan is gone!" Aunt Yu finally took a breath and said what she was most worried about, but she still kept crying. I thought to myself, isn't it just that the child is missing?When we were young, we often went out to play, and our parents couldn't find us anyway. When it got dark, the children would come back, and she was so anxious. The reaction was a bit exaggerated, probably because Aunt Yu was a new mother.So no experience.Besides, the world is bright and bright, the daylight is bright, the folk customs here are simple and everyone is kind, I don't believe it, where can the children be thrown.

"You mean Xiaopeng's younger sister has also gone to the mountains?" Long Bo asked in shock when he heard Aunt Yu's words. "Uncle Long, quickly take me across the river, I'm going to find Xiaoyan." Aunt Yu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.Immediately calm down, it seems that she is not an ordinary woman, I thought she would continue to cry, I am most afraid of seeing a woman cry. "Don't worry, maybe the child has gone back." Long Bo comforted. "Why go back, just now Xiaopeng and Xiaoyan ran to the mountains to play together, when I crossed the river to look for him, Xiaopeng didn't tell me that he took Xiaoyan there, he only told me when he got home. Xiaoyan is still in the mountains!" Aunt Yu said in a panic while glaring at the little boy named Xiaopeng angrily.That's it, I shouted in my heart.No wonder Xiaopeng was dragged home by Aunt Yu.He hesitated to speak, and kept looking back. It turned out that his sister hadn't come back yet.Still in the mountains!

"Haven't come back yet? Xiaopeng, why didn't you say anything just now!" Long Bo also became anxious. "Uncle Long, I didn't mean you. When the two brothers and sisters passed by on your boat just now, you...you should have stopped them. How could you let two ignorant children run over?" Aunt Yu blamed Uncle Long. Come, but then she realized that it was not the time to pursue responsibility, so she said, "Let me go there first, and find Xiaoyan quickly." "Then you and I will go to look for it, but...will Xiaopeng go too?" Long Bo said hesitantly.

"You go home first, remember, don't run around anymore!" Aunt Yu became fierce, frightened Xiaopeng immediately held back his sobs, and then nodded. As soon as I heard that Uncle Long was going to cross the river with Aunt Yu, I became anxious, what should we do if they passed by, I looked at the river, and it seemed that only Uncle Long's bamboo raft was left.If they passed by and Uncle Long and Aunt Yu went to the mountains to find someone, wouldn't we be left to dry here?What's more, we also have urgent matters. Who wants to stand by the river and wait for someone with such a heavy thing on their backs? If they don't come back until night, then we have to wait until night?So, I hurriedly said, "We're going to help too. Take us with you."

"You guys... we are looking for someone, stop fooling around." Long Bo said, staring at us with a strange expression. "But, we... we have to go and find someone." When I said this, I was full of confidence, "Help me, take us along, and we will give you money." "It's not about the money, alas, this..." Seeing Aunt Yu's anxious look, Long Bo nodded and said, "Okay, okay, come up quickly, I won't charge you money." We were overjoyed when we heard that, of course, it wasn’t that we were happy that there would be no charge, but that we didn’t have to wait foolishly for them to come back by the river, and there were actually two more companions when we entered the mountain. If there were tigers, we would be able to Have some guts.Maybe it was because Uncle Long himself was blaming himself for not letting the child pass, so he rowed the bamboo raft very fast, and I reached the river bank before I could even stand on the boat.

"Just now the child said where did they get in?" Long Bo asked immediately after putting the bamboo raft away. "Xiaopeng said that they walked in directly, so we will go in directly from the mountain in front." Aunt Yu said as she walked forward quickly. "Wait a minute, you said you went to the mountains to find someone? Is it an old man or two foreigners and a Chinese woman?" Long Zhao suddenly thought of something, so he grabbed me and asked. "Have you seen that old man?" When I heard Uncle Long ask, my heart immediately hung in the air. "A few days ago, I remembered that I picked up an old man to cross the river. He didn't say anything, and went straight into the mountain. I really don't understand. Why are people going into the mountain these days? Could it be that they want to beat that tiger? "Long Bo said puzzledly.

We walked into the mountains, where the mountains are connected one by one without any gap.The ravine is also wet, and the bushes are so dense that the sun can hardly penetrate.I looked around, the trees were just moving with the wind, the mountain was extremely quiet, and there was no sign of the little girl.Occasionally, the birds flying out of the weeds and trees scared me half to death. After all, a rabbit running out of a quiet valley can also scare people to death.A group of us shouted everywhere, but no matter how we shouted, no one answered. I was impatient and called the name of the old curator directly, but I didn’t know that Aunt Yu was shouting. When she heard me shouting, she suddenly replied. He opened his mouth and asked, "What was your name just now?"

Seeing the exaggerated surprised expression on Aunt Yu's face, I was really stunned for a long time.Could it be that we can only call your daughter by your daughter's name when we go into the mountains? We are also here to find someone.Isn't it allowed to call someone by their first name now?Aunt Yu saw me staring blankly at her, so she felt embarrassed.I also realized that it is very impolite to stare at a young woman in such a barren mountain, so I immediately looked away, and then said: "It's nothing, this is the person we are looking for, he came here a few days ago and has not returned "What, that person is back?" Aunt Yu was shocked by my answer, completely forgetting that she went into the mountains to find her daughter.

"Why, do you know the old curator Zha?" Seeing Aunt Yu's reaction like this, I couldn't help feeling puzzled. "I don't know, I don't know, I'm looking for Xiaoyan." Aunt Yu quickly realized her gaffe, and ran away after finding a very suitable excuse. Xinhong and I didn't continue to shout, because the mountain was full of trees and weeds, and there was no one in sight.I am still confused. Aunt Yu looked like a woman in her thirties, and the old curator Zha was at least in her sixties. How did they meet, and she was a woman in Guangxi.Is it a couple?How is it possible, they already have children and they are all married!So they met more than twenty years ago, but separated?That's not right, Aunt Yu was at most a teenager more than twenty years ago, how could she fall in love with the forty-year-old curator Cha.However, my yelling just now clearly frightened Aunt Yu once. Judging from her reaction, she should know the old curator Cha. Could it be that Aunt Yu also knew about what happened more than 20 years ago, or was it related to her? "Look, there's blood here!" The sharp-eyed Xinhong saw dark red blood stains on a stone beside a stream. We squatted down in a panic to see that the pool of blood was very small, but it was still wet when I touched it, so it should have been left not long ago.As for whether it is animal or human, I have no way of knowing.There are a few strings of footprints beside the stream, which belonged to children, and there are sparse hairs around them, which are of different colors.The most chilling thing is that not far from the stream, there is actually a very small shoe, which can be seen to be worn by a child.However, when I saw it, I expected that the Xiaoyan they were talking about was probably more ominous than good. "It belongs to Xiaoyan, the shoes belong to Xiaoyan!" Aunt Yu yelled and rushed over. After picking up the shoes and confirming, she was so frightened that her legs went limp. When we saw something was wrong, we immediately went to help Aunt Yu, and then comforted: "Don't worry, maybe it's not Xiaoyan's." "Why not, I'm her mother, and I don't know her clothes and shoes ?" Aunt Yu's spirit gradually collapsed. "That pool of blood may not belong to Xiaoyan, don't worry, we'll look for it later." Seeing that Aunt Yu was about to cry again, I hurriedly spoke to try to coax her. Who knew I wanted to say the next sentence, Aunt Yu rolled her eyes and fainted.Probably because the more she thought about it, the more complicated it became, and she fainted from fright.However, if there were tigers in the mountains, the little girl would be in danger.After all, we are not very familiar with Aunt Yu, so we want to ask Long Bo to help her.However, Uncle Long was not by our side. I looked around and found that Uncle Long was staying at the pool of blood.I just wanted to call him over, but I saw Uncle Long touched the bloody place with his hand. He smelled it and immediately threw the bloody stone into the creek in fright.
