Heaven's Beloved took the adoption manual of the sick apprentice

Chapter 153 Missing
From the bankrupt house, some surprising and urgent voices came.

The little girl quickly ran into the house, leaving Song Heqing behind.

"Ranran, is Shouqing back?"

"No, don't worry, it's a stranger looking for you." Ranran quickly helped Aunt Li, who had moved to the bed, sit back down.

Aunt Li looked away in disappointment, her withered face becoming more and more lifeless.

"Are you from the government?"

Ranran thought of what the brother outside the door just said and said uncertainly: "It seems so, I'm not sure either. The brother said he came to ask something about Brother Shouqing."

Aunt Li's face suddenly changed, and she said angrily: "Let him go. I can't give up looking for Shou Qing. Let me acquiesce that he is dead. I can't do it."

Song Heqing walked outside the door and took a look inside. A skinny middle-aged woman was staring at the door angrily.

Song Heqing and her eyes met, and the middle-aged woman inside was slightly startled.

This person does not seem to be from the government who came to the house to cause trouble a few days ago, and is a bit unfamiliar.

"Why did you come to see me?" Aunt Li said angrily even though she recognized the wrong person.

Maybe the government saw that rough actions were not enough, so they found a gentle-looking young man to lobby.

But looking at the young man in white clothes, handsome and energetic, she couldn't help but think of her missing child, who was about the same age as him, and became even more sad.

Poor Shouqing, she has been missing for more than ten days and there is still no news.

Song Heqing lowered his head slightly, stepped over the low threshold and walked to Aunt Li, "I heard that Li Shouqing is your son, and he has disappeared. Now I need to know something from you. I will solve the case this morning and help you find the child." .”

Hearing this, Aunt Li looked at Ranran beside her in surprise, "Ranran, did I hear you right? He said he would help me find Shouqing."

Ranran smiled and said: "Auntie, you heard it right, I heard it too."

Ranran turned her head, and affectionately tugged on the corner of Song Heqing's clothes, showing eagerness, "Brother, can you help me find Brother Shouqing?"

Song Heqing nodded, "I'll try my best, but I need your cooperation."

"Really? Don't lie to me. Those gangsters in the government want to lie to me but won't let me."

Song Heqing stood in the low house. The empty and narrow house seemed increasingly cramped.

Ranran jumped out of bed, ran to the courtyard, and brought a small wooden stool that reached her knees.

"Brother, sit down. You and Auntie have a nice talk, and I'll get you something."

"Wait..." Before Song Heqing could finish speaking, Ranran had already ran out.

Song Heqing was left staring blankly at the small stool on the uneven ground, lost in thought.

The aunt greeted him very enthusiastically, "Sit down quickly, how can I find Shouqing, you said I will cooperate. By the way, I haven't asked your name yet."

Song Heqing walked awkwardly to the small stool, and said in a low voice, "My surname is Song, and my name is Heqing. Madam can just call me Xiao Song."

"Xiao Song's name is really nice, just as nice as Shou Qing's name." The aunt said with a smile, her haggard and dull complexion finally had some color, and praised Song Heqing for not forgetting to bring her son.

Song Heqing glanced at the small stool and ignored it intentionally, "Shouqing has energy that runs through the nine heavens, but it is just high. The wind spreads thousands of miles, and Shouqing is fragrant. What a good name."

"Yes, that's what it means. My husband once studied, and many people in the neighborhood asked him to name their children. Shouqing was also chosen by him..." After speaking, the smile on Aunt Li's face gradually faded. Disappeared, "Unfortunately, he left early, forget it, let's not talk about him."

After Aunt Li finished speaking, she looked down at Song Heqing who was sitting on a small stool beside her, her depressed mood suddenly disappeared.

Although Song Heqing is thin, he is tall and has long legs. He usually works as a high stool, so he doesn't think there is any problem.

At this time, I was sitting on this short stool with my long legs curled up and there was no place to put them. It looked like I was sitting on the ground. The stool was completely covered by my clothes.

A little pitiful, with a very embarrassed expression.

"Xiao Song, you...you kid, if you feel uncomfortable, just move the high chair in front of the hall. You..."

Aunt Li's guard against Song Heqing was a little lower. After all, she was just a teenager, and she was embarrassed to say no.

But he was even more worried, seeing that his clothes were clean and tidy, not like ordinary people could afford to wear them, and his temperament was even more unlike ordinary people.

Can a young man of his age really have the ability to help her find Shou Qing?

If he folded himself in again, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss, how worried his parents should be.

Song Heqing stumbled over his front foot and stood up unsteadily, saying, "Thank you very much."

I moved the normal wooden chairs from the front of the hall, and I felt much more comfortable after sitting down.

"Did the county magistrate ask you to take charge of this matter? How young are you, but he asked you to do it." Aunt Li was a little angry.

Song Heqing took out the case file from his arms and said, "No, I came here on Yan's orders. I was passing by Xishui County and heard that someone was missing here, so I came here."

"Hey, the government is no longer willing to take care of it. I'll leave it to you. Don't take care of it. Many people have disappeared. It's too dangerous."

Song Heqing was a little surprised by Aunt Li's kindness.

"You don't have to worry. Since I promised to help you, I will definitely find it for you."

"Look at this case file to see if there is anything missing." Song Heqing sent the case file to Aunt Li.

Aunt Li looked at the dense words on the case file and felt dizzy. She said worriedly: "I'm illiterate. What should I do if I can't understand these?"

Song Heqing was slightly stunned. He had not thought of this, but it was not a complicated matter. "Then I will read it to you. Listen to it. Is there anything wrong or missing?"

"That's good. Then Xiao Song, read it to me."

"Okay, then be careful."

Song Heqing opened the case file and started reading from the beginning.

"On July 23, Li Shouqing disappeared in Tongli Lane, Xishui County. The reason is unknown..."

When Song Heqing was halfway through reading, Aunt Li suddenly said: Wait a minute, Xiao Song, please read the previous sentence again. "

"On July 22nd, I didn't leave home the whole day..."

"No, Xiao Song, something is wrong here." Aunt Li said firmly.

"On July 22, in the evening, Shouqing greeted me and went out. The government was recruiting men and women of appropriate age to register."

Song Heqing put away the case file and put it aside, picked up his spare pen and paper, "Why do you need to register?"

"Men and women of appropriate age must perform labor service and pay a population tax based on population. July 22nd to 24th are the days for registration. I remember clearly that Shouqing went there on the evening of the 22nd."

"They clearly asked me. I said Shouqing went out on the 22nd. Why didn't they write it down?" Aunt Li asked puzzledly.

Song Heqing wrote down the omission of the first point, "Don't worry, just listen and see if there is anything missing in the future."

"Okay, don't worry, just keep talking."
