Chapter 219 The Case of the Missing Child (Thanks to Na Lan Minmin for her monthly ticket~)
In a quarter of an hour, neither too long nor too short, the fireworks show was over.
In this way, everyone in the Li family went down to the restaurant, thanked the shopkeeper, and then went to get the donkey cart, intending to go to Anqu, the nearest place to the Li family, to put out river lanterns.
It’s time to finish setting off the river lanterns and drive the donkey cart back home under the moonlight.
When we arrived at Anqu, as expected, many people took their families to buy river lanterns and put them down along the river beside the ditch.
Xiao Shiro saw the river lantern he was thinking about and wanted to get off the second brother Li's arms. The second brother Li let him down from his arms, but kept following him with his eyes.
There are people everywhere in Chang'an today. If it weren't for the queues of police patrols and Jinwu guards walking back and forth on every bustling street to maintain order, Li Sanniang felt that something would happen during the Wanshou Festival. It's not too normal to have an accident
When Lu Zhuer saw Xiao Shilang going down to the ground, she made a fuss about Li Sanniang and wanted to go down to the stall selling river lanterns.
Xiao Shilang can be regarded as a big boy after all, so it’s okay to let go, and Li Dalang and the others quickly followed.
But Li Sanniang didn’t dare to let go of Lu Zhuer. Lu Zhuer was only three years old after the New Year, so how could she dare to let go?
However, Li Sanniang still put Lu Zhu'er from her arms to the ground, but she held one of Lu Zhu'er's hands.
As long as Lu Zhuer can get down to the ground and run after her to the stall selling river lanterns, she doesn't care that one hand is being held by Li Sanniang.
Li Sanniang led Luzhu'er to this stall. The stall owner was an old man with a kind smile. When he saw Li Sanniang taking Luzhu'er, he said: "Madam, just take a look, there are all kinds of things, they are all the same." Five copper plates each. You can also write inscriptions. There is pen and ink on the table over there, you can use it as you like."
Li Sanniang smiled back at the old man and nodded to show his understanding.
Li Sanniang thought to herself that this stall owner was honest and did not increase the price because of the Longevity Festival. Li Sanniang remembered that during the Ghost Festival last time, when she and Brother Li came here to put out lanterns to pray for blessings, The price of a lamp is also five copper coins.
"Aniang, it looks good!"
Li Sanniang looked at Lu Zhuer and pointed at the good-looking lamp, which was a rabbit lantern with two long ears.
Luzhu'er raised two palms on both sides of her ears, narrowed her eyes and said to Li Sanniang with a smile: "Auntie, Tutu."
Li Sanniang looked at Lu Zhu'er's cute appearance and was so moved. Thinking about it, it was probably the wild rabbit that Li Ersao's family sent to her last time, which was trapped in the mountain. It was raised in the backyard at that time, so Lu Zhuer remembered it.
Of course, the last few rabbits were used by Li Sanniang to test the medicine. After testing the medicine, they were buried in the backyard.
"Luzhu'er likes this rabbit?"
Luzhu'er opened her big round eyes and nodded: "Zhu'er likes it, Auntie, buy it."
Li Sanniang nodded and agreed to Luzhu'er. Li Sanniang said she wanted to buy it, and picked out a lotus-style one. After paying the money, Li Sanniang took Lu Zhuer to the pen and ink provided by the stall owner, and asked Lu Zhuer what she wanted to write. Lu Zhuer blinked and said to Li Sanniang: "Auntie, just write that Xiao Huang and Wu Lang will grow up quickly."
Mother Li, Sister-in-law Li, and Sister-in-law Li, who had Xiao Wulang sleeping in the pocket on her chest, were listening to the dewdrops on the side. The children's childish words made them laugh out loud.
Sister-in-law Li said to Mother Li: "Haha, Auntie, Lu Zhu'er has put Xiao Huang and Wu Lang together."
Sister-in-law Li didn't think there was anything wrong with Lu Zhu'er putting the little yellow dog and her son together. She also smiled and said to Lu Zhu'er: "Thank you Lu Zhu'er for still thinking about Kogoro. He will definitely accept Lu Zhu'er's love." Let’s grow up together with Xiao Huang soon.”
Li Sanniang didn’t bother Lu Zhuer at all. She wrote neatly on the paper what Lu Zhuer said: “I wish my family Xiao Huang. "He Wulang will grow up soon", and wrote Luzhu'er's name "Wang Wanlu of Chang'an Changshoufang" in the name area.
On the scroll in the lotus leaf lamp that Li Sanniang picked out, Li Sanniang wrote. The same as before, "May my son Wang Wanlu have a safe and smooth life" and leave his name as Li Mingfang of Chang'an Changshoufang.
After writing it and putting it into the wick, Li Sanniang took Luzhu'er to the edge of the ditch, carefully held Luzhu'er's waist, and asked her to put her rabbit lantern down with her own hands.
Li Sanniang looked at the countless colorful river lanterns on the canal and felt that this was probably the best wish in people's hearts.
He picked up Lu Zhu'er and asked her if she felt cold. Lu Zhu'er lay on Li Sanniang's shoulder and just when she said she wasn't cold, Li Sanniang heard the noise coming from the front of the street. Back at the roadside, Father Li, Mother Li, Sister-in-law Li, Sister-in-law Li, Nineteen and Qiuxiang were waiting aside. Brother Li took the four little ones to put out river lanterns.
Sister-in-law Li and the others naturally heard the noise coming from the front, "What's going on? Are you here to play?"
Mother Li Answer: "No, this place is specially set aside for people to put river lanterns. No other business is allowed here."
When Brother Li came back alone, Li Sanniang was about to ask When the four little ones were going somewhere, the group of people in front also arrived and approached Li Sanniang and the others.
"Second brother, where are Shiro and the others?"
"Excuse me, have you seen Ichiro?"
The Li family all saw the sweat on the forehead of the person in front of them and the expression on his face. He looked anxious, and when he heard these words again, three words came to his mind: "kidnapping a child"!
Brother Li then became worried: "After I put out the lamp, they said they wanted to see where the lamp would float, so I came back first and left them by the ditch."< br>
After Brother Li finished speaking, he hurriedly ran to the edge of the ditch. Not to mention Second Sister-in-law Li, who among Father Li, Mother Li and Sister-in-law Li, Li Sanniang, could not be anxious after hearing this?
Sister-in-law Li simply said: "Ah, mother-in-law, please wait here, I will follow and have a look."
Li Sanniang hugged Luzhu'er tightly and did not follow Sister-in-law Li. She stayed where she was with Li. Father, mother, and sister-in-law Li. When Nineteen saw this, he said something and followed Mrs. Li directly.
Seeing this situation, the man in front of him said to Father Li and the others again: "Excuse me, my young man is lost. He is at the place where the river lanterns are placed upstream.
The young man is only five years old, about this tall." The man gestured to the height of his thigh, and continued to say to the Li family: "Today, the young man is wearing a blue suit. "Have any of you seen this before?"
Li Sanniang and the others have never noticed other people's children on the street?
Their attention was all on their children, and a little bit on choosing the style of river lanterns.
Faced with the anxiety of the people in front of them, the Li family could only shake their heads to express their ignorance.
The man bowed to Li Sanniang and the others and said: "My shopkeeper's surname is Xing, and he owns a shop called a supermarket in the east and west. If you have any help, feel free to contact us. My shopkeeper said It doesn’t matter how much you want, as long as the young man is safe, we can talk about anything.”
After hearing what the man said that he was the shopkeeper of a supermarket, Li Sanniang thought to herself, isn’t this a supermarket run by a colleague from Chuan Chuan?
Before Li Sanniang could think of a word, the man bowed and went to the old man selling river lanterns.
At this time, Nineteenth and Mrs. Li also came back.
Of course the second brother Li and the fourth brother just came back with them.
When Brother Li and the others came looking for him, the fourth child just walked a short distance downstream of the ditch.
Although Koushiro still wanted to go down and see where the river lantern was, after Li Dalang said he couldn't go too far, Koushiro didn't have to go.
Just because I walked a lot today, Xiao Silang said coquettishly to Li Dalang: "Brother, Xiao Si is tired."
Li Sanlang, who rarely took the initiative to speak, looked at Xiao Shiro like this, and there was something he didn't understand.
"Huh, tired? Do you want your eldest brother to carry you again? When you call on your eldest brother, you are now the fourth child? Don't you always ask us to call you the fourth brother on weekdays?"
Xiao Silang ignored Li Sanlang's ridicule. At this time, Li Dalang had already squatted down. Xiao Silang happily climbed onto Li Dalang's back, put his hands around Li Dalang's neck, and glanced at Li Sanlang triumphantly.
"Hmph, what the gentleman said about the arrogance of a villain when he succeeds is probably not just you! Li Xiaosi!"
Li Erlang, who was watching the joke, was really shocked at this time. Amused: "Haha, Sanlang is a good idiom. This is indeed what the teacher taught me. Haha."
Therefore, at this time, what Li Sanniang saw was Xiao Silang who was lying on Li Dalang's back and looking at Li Sanlang with big eyes and small eyes.
