Chapter 228 Past (Thanks to Wasp 2002 for the monthly ticket~)
While Li Dalang was chasing the man in black who snatched Xiao Shilang away, his mind kept recalling the footage of the accident four years ago.
Four years ago, it was the Lantern Festival.
At that time, he was only four years old, and the youngest child in the family was Koshiro, who had a tiger-like head and a very cute head.
Not to mention Brother Li and Sister-in-law Li, Xiao Silang’s biological parents, even Li Sanniang, who had just been married at that time, loved Xiao Silang very much.
The Lantern Festival is the only day of the year when there is no curfew and you can roam around Chang'an City at will.
Koshiro is a child at heart and loves to watch the excitement most.
At that time, Brother Li had not yet joined the Jinwu Guards on duty, but was just a small soldier in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.
But even a soldier, because his home is in Chang'an City, he can go home for three days off during the Lantern Festival.
Xiao Silang loves elder brother Li and Li Dalang the most in the Li family.
Because only Brother Li could carry him on his shoulders, let him ride on his neck, and even throw him up and down to experience the feeling of flying.
As Aye, the second brother Li always held it in his hands, wanting to have a bit of majesty in front of the child.
And Li Dalang is the eldest brother who is easiest to "bully". Xiao Silang has long discovered that as long as he wants to cry even a little bit, Li Dalang will agree to anything.
This is what Li Dalang promised Xiao Silang. The older one took him to play on the street, and the younger one carried him on his back, playing war games with other children as his tall horse. He really never refused this little one. brother.
In short, in Xiao Shiro’s eyes, Li Dalang is great and he loves Li Dalang the most.
As for Li Erlang, the elder brother who always bullies Xiao Shiro because of his own intelligence, and the third brother who is honest and doesn't talk much and listens to the words of the second brother Li the most, Xiao Shiro also loves them, but the one he loves most is Li Dalang.
So, on the night of the Lantern Festival four years ago, a bright moon hung in the sky, and Xiao Silang was led by Li Dalang to a lantern riddle guessing stall on the street.
At this time, Li Dalang had been studying at Qinglian Academy for several years. Although he could not write an article with gorgeous rhetoric, he could guess a few lantern riddles.
Li Dalang responded to Xiao Silang's words and took down the lantern with a tiger head for him.
Xiao Shilang happily held the lamp pole and took Li Dalang's hand to squeeze forward. The stall in front was even bigger. There was a lotus-style lamp hanging in the middle that was as tall as a person. It was really attractive. eyeball.
Li Dalang first glanced back at Father Li and the others who were not far away, and then followed Xiao Silang's pull to go there.
When he arrived at this stall, Koshiro looked at the large lotus lantern that was much taller than himself and felt very surprised.
"Brother, this lamp is really big!"
"What's the matter? Isn't this rare in your hand?"
Xiao Shiro looked down at what Li Dalang had just given him He looked up at the tiger head lantern he won and the big lotus lantern hanging in the middle of the stall in front of the shop. He looked up at Li Dalang, his little eyes widened and said: "Brother, it's rare. It's rare. This big one is rare." The lotus lantern is also beautiful! ”
"Want it?"
Xiao Silang nodded vigorously and looked at Li Dalang with hopeful eyes. In Xiao Silang's eyes, only Brother Li and Li Dalang are the most powerful in the Li family. Brother Li always has to go out on duty. It was Li Dalang who he saw often.
In Xiao Shiro's heart, Li Dalang is the best, best, and most powerful brother who can do anything.
Faced with Xiao Shiro’s trusting and expectant eyes, what can Li Dalang do?
Li Dalang looked up at the riddles posted under the big lotus lantern. There were ten cloth strips. The stall owner explained that when all ten riddles are solved, whoever solves the most puzzles will be the winner. Can you take away this big lotus lantern? Li Dalang looked at the first question that the stall owner had just asked: circle when drawing, square when writing, winter is short, summer is long. The stall owner cupped his hands to the onlookers and said: "For the first question, type one word."
Li Dalang looked at this mystery, his head turned hard, and he thought of it!
"It's the day!"
The stall owner knocked the gong on the side with a small hammer, and said to Li Dalang with a smile on his face: "This gentleman has won a question!"
Li Dalang guessed two more of the five questions correctly. Li Dalang clasped his hands and looked at the next question that the stall owner opened: a white snake crossing the river, with a red sun above its head.
"Try a common object for this question."
Li Dalang looked at the puzzle written on the red paper and thought carefully about what the answer was.
Li Dalang was so focused on answering the questions that he ignored that he was not holding Xiao Shilang's hand, and Xiao Shilang had long been targeted by the kidnapper.
The little children can run, jump and talk, and are white, tender and cute. They are the kind of babies that kidnappers love most.
When the kidnapper who had been hanging around saw Li Dalang letting go of Xiao Shiro's hand because he was concentrating on guessing riddles, he quickly came behind Xiao Shiro and took a handkerchief soaked in medicine and went to Xiao Shiro's hand. He held his nose, but after a few breaths, Koshiro couldn't move.
The kidnapper picked up Koushiro and hurriedly left the stall.
When Li Dalang answered the sixth puzzle faster than others, the answer was an oil lamp, and he won another question. When he wanted to go back and share this happiness with Koushiro, he lowered his head and couldn't find Koshiro.
Koshiro is missing!
Li Dalang was so panicked that he couldn't care less about guessing. He patrolled back and forth in the crowd, shouting: "Xiaosi, Xiaosi, where have you gone?"
No one was there. In response to Li Dalang's words, Li Dalang took a few steps forward and saw the same child with an upturned hairpin. He pulled the child from behind and saw his face clearly. It was not Xiaoshiro.
Li Dalang shouted while walking back and forth on the street to pull children who were about the same height as Koshiro.
But they are not Koshiro!
It was only then that Li Dalang truly realized that he had lost Xiao Silang!
Li Dalang quickly turned back to Father Li and the others, holding back his tears and telling his father, elder brother, and second brother Li about the situation when he and Xiao Silang were together at that time.
"I'm going to find the policeman on the street. The kidnapper must not have gone far yet! If you stop shouting, more than one baby must have been stolen by the kidnapper. Let's look for it together! Faster!"
After Brother Li finished speaking, his long legs went to the front of the street where the patrol officers usually stayed.
When Brother Li heard that his son was missing, his first reaction was fear. This kid was really too lively. If he resisted too hard, there was no doubt that the kidnapper would do something serious.
"Don't be afraid, Dalang. If you have time, listen to brother and shout. More than one mistress must have been stolen. With more people and strength, we will definitely find it!"
Li Dalang Tears flowed down all of a sudden, and after wiping them with his sleeves, Li Dalang and other members of the Li family shouted loudly back and forth on the street. Such shouting made several people discover that their children had also been stolen. !
Sure enough, Koshiro was not the only child to be stolen!
Li Dalang felt extremely guilty in his heart. He just felt that he was too focused on solving the lantern riddles, so he let go of Xiao Shiro's hand, allowing the kidnapper to take the opportunity to steal Xiao Shiro's hand.
It's all my fault! It was my fault!
