Chapter 120 It was an accident
Li cried and said, "I don't know where all of a sudden a lot of people came from. They all said there were bandits who killed people without blinking an eye. Everyone followed them and ran forward. We were also led forward. We ran and ran to several forks in the road. You went this way, I went that way. It was very chaotic. I carried your little brother to the cart. I didn't know what was going on.
It bumped into someone else's house, and your little brother fell out. When I looked up, there were people everywhere, and even your little brother's shadow disappeared. I kept looking for him, calling out, and waiting. After everyone left, I still couldn't find him. I searched for a long time nearby! Your little brother is missing, how can I face your father! He is still so young, without his family around him, how can he live in this world! "
As he spoke, he slapped himself in the face, "It's all my fault, it's my fault. If I had watched him carefully, this wouldn't have happened to him!"
"Mom, mom, it's not your fault, it's not your fault. I will come back, I will come back!" Zhou Mai grabbed her hand with red eyes, not letting her abuse herself.
Zhou Guo's chest felt tight and his nose felt sore. He took several deep breaths and said, "It's okay, mom. I will find him back. You have to believe me. Even if I run to the ends of the earth, I will bring my little brother back."
Li cried and nodded repeatedly, "Your little brother may be found, but your little sister can't be found. That child has a miserable life. Who would have thought that she would die like this? Both of our children have bad luck."
Zhou Guo turned with red eyes and looked at her aunt beside her.
She was holding a piece of clothing in her arms, which was obviously what Xiao Taozi had worn before. She didn't cry, make a fuss or talk, as if she had lost her soul.
Zhou Xing hugged her, her face full of sadness and worry, her eyes were red and swollen, and it was obvious that she had cried a lot.
They have only been separated for one day, how come so many things happened?
Huang said, "Your aunt thinks she killed the child. If she hadn't fed Tao'er that piece of dessert, this wouldn't have happened. Since the child died, she has refused to eat or drink. She's a little crazy. Well, forget it, don't worry about her. She has to rely on herself to get over this. No one can help her. No one can help her."
"Where was Taoer buried?" Zhou Dacang on the side couldn't help but ask.
"She was buried in the woods behind this morning. It's empty inside. I wonder if she would be scared?" The old lady shook her head and sighed, closing her eyes. She was old, and her family had lost two children. She had been through so much for a long time and was exhausted. She was holding on and waiting for her two children to come back, but now she finally couldn't help but closed her eyes and fell asleep.
This closure gave everyone a shock.
Zhou Dacang quickly put his hand under the old lady's nose. After a long time, he felt relief when he heard movement from his fingers.
The scene fell silent for a moment.
"Gu Gu Gu~~"
"Gugu~~"
The protest from my stomach seemed particularly loud at this moment.
Zhou Guo licked her lips. She was a little hungry after not eating for a day and a night.
Zhou Dacang stood up and turned over the cart, and found a few bags of snacks from it, which were bought by Zhou Guo in the city.
No one is in the mood to cook at this time.
“Ahhhh, go away, go away, get out of here, you are a harmful thing, go to hell!” But as soon as the snacks were taken out, Xu ran up like a madman, snatched the snacks away, threw them on the ground, and stomped on them fiercely. Soon, several packets of snacks were torn to pieces. “I told you to eat, I told you to eat, I told you to eat…”
Everyone stared at it in shock, and before they could stop Dim Sum it became like this.
Zhou Xing's three siblings came to their senses and hurried over. They finally calmed the girl down by dragging and coaxing her. They took her aside and asked her to sit down.
Zhou Guo sighed, looking at the snacks on the ground that were so broken that they couldn't even be picked up, and thought about just scooping them up and eating them, as he had spent a lot of money on these snacks.
When eating, each family member had a small piece and was reluctant to finish it. Zhou Su liked it so much that he never asked for more each time, saying that he wanted to save it up so that they could eat a little each time, and it would be gone after they were finished.
Thinking of Zhou Su, she instantly lost her appetite. The little guy had always been well-behaved, but now she didn't know where to hide and cry. She didn't know if he could survive without food.
She couldn't sit still any longer, so she stood up, pulled Zhou Dacang over, walked to the side, and said quickly, "Uncle, I'm going to look for Zhou Su and take Master with me on horseback. You guys can go forward after you've rested and eaten something. Just leave me marks along the way, and I'll catch up."
After saying that, he looked at his family and said, "Pay attention to this area at home. You have to keep an eye on the old lady. I think she is not in a good mental state. You stay at home and take charge."
"Old man, have you searched nearby? Where are you going to search in such a large area? It's not safe now. The bandits who stayed in the county will definitely come out to look for you if they see that these people have not returned for so long. They might catch up with you at any time, and you are injured. No, it's too risky." Zhou Dacang frowned, disagreeing with her doing this.
Zhou Guo was not discussing with him, her face was firm, "I must go this time, no matter I can find it or not, I will catch up in three days. If I don't go, I will never live with it in my life." The little guy was still so young, just over four years old, and barely as tall as the table. She didn't dare to think about what would happen to her if she left her family.
Seeing how persistent she was, Zhou Dacang knew he couldn't convince her. She had always been stubborn. "I will leave traces on the rocks and trees along the way. Please pay attention and bring some food with you."
She waved her hand, "Forget it, I'll go look in the woods to see if I can find anything. Master is still with me, and I still have to work hard to cook food."
After that, she turned to Li and said, "Mother, I'm going to look for my younger brother. I'll go on horseback."
Li's sluggish eyes lit up a little, then dimmed again, "It's not that easy. Your master has searched the area for so many times but couldn't find it. Why don't you not go? I just lost your little brother, you can't make any more mistakes."
"No, how could anything go wrong when I follow my master? Don't worry, I will catch up in three days. Stop crying, your face is swollen." After saying that, he looked at Zhou Mai standing aside and saw that he pursed his lips and said nothing with a dim look in his eyes. He knew that he was probably blaming himself.
Each of them took the responsibility for their younger brother's loss on their own shoulders.
"Brother, after I'm gone, you have to take good care of yourself and mom. Don't think too much. My brother's disappearance was an accident and can't be blamed on anyone. We will just try our best to find him back." She was not a person who would say comforting words on weekdays, but today she said more than anyone else.
