Chapter 88 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, "Sister Yu, what's the matter, the children are already back, so don't be angry."

"The child didn't come back,... didn't... didn't come back." Sister Yu also began to sob, unable to utter a complete sentence. Sister 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 knew that I was an outsider, but I couldn't help but ask again: "Didn't the child let you lead me?" "It's his sister, my sister is gone, Xiaoyan is gone!" Sister 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?We used to go out to play when we were young, and our parents couldn’t find us. When it got dark, the children would come back. She was in a hurry, and her reaction was a bit exaggerated. Probably because Sister Yu is a new mother, so it’s okay. experience.What's more, the world is bright and bright, the day is broad daylight, and the folk customs here are simple and everyone is kind. I don't believe that where the children can be thrown. "You mean that Xiaopeng's younger sister has also gone to the mountains?" Long Bo asked in shock when he heard Sister Yu's words.

"Uncle Long, quickly take me across the river, I'm going to find Xiaoyan." Sister Yu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and immediately calmed down. It seems that she is not an ordinary woman, and I thought she would continue to cry. "Don't worry, maybe the child has gone back." Long Bo comforted. "Why do you go back? Just now Xiaopeng and Xiaoyan ran to the mountains to play together. When I crossed the river to find him, Xiaopeng didn't tell me that he took Xiaoyan there too. He only told me when he got home. Xiaoyan is still in the mountains!" Sister Yu said in a panic while glaring at the little boy named Xiaopeng angrily.

That's it, I shouted in my heart.It's no wonder that when Xiaopeng was dragged home by Sister Yu, he hesitated to speak, and kept looking back. It turned out that his sister hadn't come back yet, and was still staying 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. The two brothers and sisters went by on your boat just now. You...you should have stopped them. How could you let two ignorant children run over?" Sister Yu blamed Uncle Long. Then she realized that now is 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!" Sister 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 Miss Yu, I became anxious. What should we do if they passed by?If they passed by and Uncle Long and Sister 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, do we have to wait until night?Thinking of this, I hurriedly begged: "Let's go 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 Sister Yu's anxious look, Uncle Long nodded and said, "Okay, okay, come up quickly, I won't charge your money." We were overjoyed when we heard that, of course, it wasn’t that we were happy that there was no charge, but that we didn’t have to wait foolishly for them to come back by the river, and we had two more companions when we entered the mountain. If there were tigers, we would be more courageous.Uncle Long might be blaming himself for not letting the child pass, so he rowed the bamboo raft very fast, and I reached the other side before I could 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." Sister 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 Bo suddenly thought of something, so he caught 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 also went directly into the mountain without saying a word. 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 was wet, and the bushes were so dense that the sun couldn't penetrate it.I looked around, the trees were just moving with the wind, the mountain was extremely quiet, and there was no little girl, and the occasional birds flying out of the weeds and trees scared people half 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 Zha directly. I didn’t know that Sister Yu was shouting. When she heard me shouting, she suddenly turned her head. He opened his mouth and asked, "What was your name just now?"

I saw the exaggerated and surprised expression on Sister Yu's face, and I was really stunned for a long time.Could it be that we can only call your daughter's name when we go into the mountains? We are also here to find someone. Isn't it allowed to call someone else's name now?Sister Yu saw me staring at her blankly, so she began to feel embarrassed.I also realized that it is impolite to stare at a young woman in such a barren mountain, so I immediately looked away, and then said: "It's nothing, he is the person we are looking for, he came here a few days ago and has not returned .” "What, that person is back?" Sister 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 Sister Yu's reaction like this, I couldn't help feeling puzzled. "I don't know, I don't know, I'm going to find Xiaoyan." Sister Yu quickly realized her gaffe, and ran away after finding a very suitable excuse. Xinhong and I didn't shout any more, the mountains were covered with trees and weeds, and we couldn't see a single person at all, even if we shouted hoarsely, no one answered.I'm still confused, Sister Yu is a woman in her thirties, and old curator Zha is at least in her sixties, how did they meet, and she is a woman in Guangxi.I couldn't help thinking wildly, could it be that they are a couple, but how is this possible, they already have children and they are all married! "Look, there's blood here!" The sharp-eyed Xinhong saw dark red blood stains on a stone beside a stream. We squatted down in panic to see that the pool of blood was small, but still wet.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 belong to children, and there are sparse hairs scattered 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's Xiaoyan's, the shoes are Xiaoyan's!" Sister Yu yelled and rushed over, picked up the shoes and checked, her legs were so frightened that her legs went limp. When we saw that something was wrong, we immediately went to help Sister Yu, and then comforted: "Don't worry, maybe it's not Xiaoyan's." "Why not? I'm her mother. I don't know her clothes and shoes?" Sister Yu gradually collapsed. "That pool of blood may not belong to Xiaoyan, don't worry, we'll look for it later." I saw Sister Yu was about to cry again, so I hurriedly spoke to try to coax her. Who knew that I wanted to say the next sentence, but Sister Yu rolled her eyes and fainted.Probably because the more she thought about it, the more complicated it became, and she fainted from fright.After all, we are not very familiar with Sister Yu, so we want to ask Long Bo to help her.However, Uncle Long was not by our side. I looked around, only to find that Uncle Long was still staying beside 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.
