Siheyuan: Lao Liu appears, everyone is confused

"Silly Zhu, you said this yourself, we didn't force you."

"Yes, I said so!"

"Let's talk first, Silly Zhu. We didn't seek any benefit from you in the beginning. You proposed it yourself."

"Keep your word. No matter which one of you finds him next, I will set up a table in the yard and treat everyone to a good meal."

"Row!"

"we have a deal?"

"If you can't do it, I'm your grandson, okay?"

"it is good!!"

With Shazhu's promise, everyone who was originally prepared to give up their picks took advantage of the situation and went down the steps.

Silly Zhu, on the other hand, didn't have to pay anything. He just had to acknowledge everyone's kindness and remember others well.

As a result, he spoke mean words twice, one after another, which directly offended everyone. Finally, he made a forced promise to set up a table to treat guests, express his gratitude and apologize, and was able to calm down the public anger.

There are so many people in the whole courtyard, so it will cost a lot to hire one person.

I'm afraid of heavy bleeding.

In such a good situation, Silly Zhu was immediately beaten to pieces as soon as he opened his mouth.

Looking at these neighbors who were "taking advantage of others", Shazhu put away his anger, looked directly at Qin Huairu, and said proactively: "Sister Qin, let me take you to find them! I can ride a bicycle!"

Since Wang Hao was unwilling to contribute, Silly Zhu naturally chose to take the lead.

He couldn't ask for more!

Normally, Shazhu would have had to take the opportunity to ridicule Wang Hao, but after having just received a lesson, Shazhu didn't want to cause trouble at this time. If something happened by then, it would not end well for him.

"Fine!"

Qin Huairu nodded, not too disappointed.

Wang Hao took the initiative to lend out the bicycle, which surprised her. He was not willing to work as a "coolie" for her as a driver, which was actually expected.

It's just that Qin Huairu didn't think so much and asked subconsciously, which led to the twists and turns just now.

Say something.

From the perspective of others, Wang Hao's actions tonight were benevolent enough.

Wang Hao did not object and handed the bicycle directly to Shazhu.

Knowing that Silly Zhu could ride a bicycle, he didn't worry much.

At this time.

Xu Damao went back to the backyard and pushed his bicycle over. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but apply eye drops to Silly Zhu: "Silly Zhu, you have to be careful, don't damage Haozi's bicycle!"

"Xu Damao, shut your crow mouth! What does this have to do with you?"

Silly Zhu was so angry that he cursed.

He was already in a bad mood, but Xu Damao, a troublemaker, even disgusted him.

"Hey! Silly Zhu, what's your attitude? I'm obviously trying to remind you with good intentions, but you don't know a good heart." Xu Damao was also upset.

It was true that he deliberately disgusted Silly Zhu, but he just refused to admit it.

"This bicycle is not an ordinary small item. It is very expensive in today's market! Haozi was kind enough to lend you the bicycle. If you damage it, where will you be able to explain it?"

What Xu Damao said is not alarmist.

If not for this kind of thing, who would easily lend such a big thing like a bicycle, especially to someone who has a problem with him.

Only Wang Hao doesn't care, and no one else would be worried.

But Xu Damao can't.

Although the bicycle belongs to Wang Hao, he must set rules for Si Zhu.

Wang Hao is his brother. As an older brother, Xu Damao cannot let him suffer losses and take risks.

"Xu Damao, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking."

"Listen to me, just think of this bike as being borrowed by me, Silly Zhu. If it gets damaged, I'll give Wang Hao a new one. Is that okay?"

"It's just a bicycle! What's so cool about it!"

"Hey, everyone has heard it. This is what Shazhu said himself. If this bicycle is damaged, I will give Haozi a new one. Everyone can help bear witness!"

"Tch! I, Silly Zhu, keep my word!"

"Haha, so many people have heard it, even if you want to default on the bill, you can't."

After achieving his goal, Xu Damao's face quickly showed a smile, looking cheerful.

"Shazhu, let's go quickly! Maybe we can catch up with Jingru earlier."

Not wanting Silly Zhu to continue wasting time here, Qin Huairu reminded him quickly.

Although it is not sure whether Qin Jingru has returned to Changping, after thinking about it, this is the most likely possibility. After all, Qin Jingru has no other place to go in Sijiu City.

The sooner she finds someone, the sooner she can let go of her hanging heart.

Come outside.

Shazhu rode his bicycle and took Qin Huairu with him, and the two of them went directly to Changping.

After they left, other people in the courtyard also took action.

As an example, the two uncles Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, except for their female relatives, all mobilized, including Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiekuang, two children who were still in school.

"Ezi, why are you following me out?"

After Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong assigned the search areas and directions to everyone, Xu Damao found that Lou Xiao'e had also followed.

"Help me find someone, what else can I do?"

Hearing Xu Damao's words, Lou Xiao'e didn't even think about it. She directly pointed to the flashlight in her hand and said, "Multiple people have more power. I met Qin Huairu, my cousin, once in the afternoon, and we chatted for a few words. The little girl looks like It’s quite simple, you can’t just sit back and watch, right?”

"It's not safe at night. I can go out alone in our house, so don't make any trouble."

Xu Damao was helpless and directly rejected Lou Xiao'e's plan.

The second uncle has just said that it is enough for each household to have one person, and there is no need for Lou Xiaoe at all.

however.

After hearing Xu Damao's words, Lou Xiao'e quit.

"Xu Damao, what do you mean? Why did I cause trouble?"

As a married woman who has read many books, Lou Xiao'e still has a relatively strong sense of self and feels that she has been despised by Xu Damao.

Besides, what the second uncle just said was that each household should provide at least one person, which does not mean that only one person can help.

Lou Xiao'e herself also wanted to help.

"Ezi, I..."

Seeing Lou Xiao'e angry, Xu Damao was also confused.

When Wang Hao saw this, he smiled and said, "Sister Xiao'e, don't think too much. Brother Damao cares about you. It's late at night and he doesn't want you to run around with him."

Although Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao don't have any unforgettable love at the moment, they still have a more or less normal relationship between husband and wife, which is similar to the situation of most couples and families today.

The relationship between the two of them is quite harmonious, and he has a good relationship with them, so Wang Hao naturally wants to help and say something nice.

The key point is that it is still dangerous for Lou Xiaoe to run around alone at night.

The new society was established, and the current security situation is obviously much better than that of the old society during the war, but compared with later generations, there are still many gaps, especially since there are still some secret agents lurking in the city.

Things that can be avoided should naturally be avoided as much as possible.

As for letting Lou Xiao'e follow them, that's even more unnecessary.

Bringing one more person will not make much difference.

"This……"

Hearing Wang Hao's words, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but glance at Xu Damao.

The two of them meant the same thing, but Wang Hao expressed it this way, which was obviously easier to accept.

The original opinions have also been reduced a lot.

Xu Damao immediately gave Wang Hao a look of gratitude and admiration, and continued following his words: "Don't worry, Haozi and I will come back as soon as we find someone. You just stay in the yard and rest early."

"Haozi, let's go."

"Hey~"

She originally wanted to say something, but when she saw Xu Damao directly calling Wang Hao to leave, Lou Xiao'e was helpless.

Look again.

I found that all the people in the yard were men, and the female family members were not involved. Thinking about what Xu Damao and Wang Hao said just now, I finally chose to give up.

After leaving the alley, Wang Hao and Xu Damao separated.

There weren't many people in the first place, but if we grouped them into two-by-two groups, the probability of finding people would be even smaller.

Although they drank some alcohol in the evening, he and Xu Damao didn't drink too much and were both conscious, so Wang Hao wasn't too worried.

At this time, the street and the police station had already gone off work. Although there were still people on duty at the police station, without any sign that something had happened to Qin Jingru, Wang Hao had the same idea as Liu Haizhong and others, and did not intend to go directly to the street and police station. . What if there was a big battle with great fanfare, but Qin Jingru really just ran back to Qinjia Village, tossing the street and police station staff in vain, not to mention making herself very embarrassed.

If they still can't find anyone tomorrow, Qin Jingru won't go back to Qinjia Village, so it won't be too late to report it then.

In the future, it will take 24 hours to report a missing person to the police, unless there are special circumstances!

Qin Jingru is not a special person, he is just a normal person with the ability to act independently.

Wang Hao has little experience in finding people. The only direction has been given to Shazhu and Qin Huairu, so Wang Hao can only do his best.

"Haozi, we've found him."

When Wang Hao still found nothing, Xu Damao came over on his bicycle.

"what's the situation?"

"Hey! What a coincidence. I just met someone on patrol. When I was interrogated, I told him the situation, and I happened to find out about Qin Jingru."

"What about people?"

"It's at the police station. I don't know much about the specific situation. I heard that he got lost, and the people from the police station are also checking..."

"..."

After learning about this situation, Wang Hao didn't know what to say.

But fortunately, the result is good.

"Let's go back to the courtyard and tell the second uncle and the others the news."

Now that the person has been found, Wang Hao has no intention of intervening in the next matter of leading the person.

soon.

Wang Hao came back on Xu Damao's bicycle.

Except for them, the others who went out to look for people have not returned yet.

"Xu Damao, Wang Hao, why are you back?"

Seeing Wang Hao and Xu Damao come back so quickly and stay in the courtyard "sitting" in the bangs, they couldn't help but frown, thinking that they had taken care of the problem.

Although Yan Bugui on the side did not speak, he was also a little curious.

"Second uncle, the person has been found. He is at the police station! You and the third uncle should go get him quickly!"

Xu Damao said directly as he got off the bicycle.

"Xu Damao, what's going on?"

"Hey, actually the thing is like this..."

As Xu Damao told the story, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui looked at each other, somewhat speechless.

It's so simple.

get lost?

Before they could take action, a military jeep appeared.

Then they saw the police and Qin Jingru getting out of the car.

Not long after.

After verifying the situation with Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui and others, the policeman who sent Qin Jingru back drove away again.

Just as Wang Hao guessed, Qin Jingru wanted to go back to Qinjia Village by herself after leaving the Siheyuan in anger. However, there were no buses at such a late hour, and Qin Jingru, who did not want to stay in the Siheyuan, planned to walk back.

However, Qin Jingru came by bus and couldn't remember the route at all.

What's even more frustrating is that Qin Jingru not only failed to remember the way back to Changping, but also forgot the way back to the courtyard. She could only wander on the street, and was eventually discovered by patrolling security personnel.

Awkward.

Qin Jingru could not tell the specific address of the courtyard. She knew the situation of Shazhu, Qin Huairu and the Jia family, but it was not detailed enough. She found that Qin Jingru could not answer many questions and could not directly determine her identity, so she sent her to the police station.

Fortunately, in the end, relying on some of the information provided by Qin Jingru, the police station also found relevant information, confirmed the address of the courtyard, and then sent a car to deliver it back.

As the people from the police station left, Qin Jingru, who faced Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui and others alone, was a little nervous and embarrassed, as if she had made a mistake and dug a huge hole.

In fact, she did give the people in the courtyard a lot of trouble.

At this time, many people were still awake. Knowing that Qin Jingru was found, the courtyard became lively again.

In front of everyone, Liu Haizhong, who was addicted to officialdom, pretended to criticize and educate Qin Jingru.

Because Qin Jingru was not from the courtyard, Liu Haizhong did not dare to speak too harshly and quickly looked at the crowd.

"Where is Qin Huairu? Her cousin has been found..."

"Second uncle, Qin Huairu is still looking for someone outside and hasn't come back!"

"Where is the Jia family? Where are the Jia family's people?"

"Where's Jia Zhang? I remember she didn't go out, right?"

"I'm going, why are the lights turned off at Jia's house? Are you already asleep?"

"Hey! Everyone is busy helping their Jia family find people, but Jia Zhang herself is very relaxed!"

Because there were three children at home to take care of, no one in the courtyard said anything about Jia Zhang's cat at home. But after Qin Jingru was found, everyone found that Jia Zhang, who stayed at home, had gone to bed early.

This immediately made everyone explode.

Every household has sent someone to help, and few of them have returned yet. This Jia Zhang family is just like a normal person.

strictly speaking.

He was found for Qin Huairu and also for the Jia family.

As neighbors, they all took action, but Jia and Zhang had nothing to do with their own affairs. It was hard not to make people feel uncomfortable.

clap clap clap!

Someone came forward and knocked on the door in dissatisfaction.

"It's so late at night, what's the fuss about? There's a soul calling!"

She was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly woken up in such a rude way. When she came out to open the door, Jia Zhang was very dissatisfied and got up in the middle of the night and became angry.

"Hey, you Jia Zhang..."

As soon as Jia Zhang opened her mouth, she immediately aroused public outrage.

Jia and Zhang, who had many experiences of "tongue-in-cheek battles with Confucian scholars", were right. A war broke out.

Seeing Jia and Zhang fighting against many, their momentum was not weak at all.

Faced with this "late night vegetable market" scene, Wang Hao looked at it without saying a word, and was filled with joy as he watched the system's increasing negative emotion value.

This Jia Zhang family is really a lucky star!

Proper experience gives birth to vitality.

for a long time.

Under Yan Bugui's mediation and Liu Haizhong's scolding, the two parties finally came to a standstill.

"Jia Zhang, I found it for you, please just calm down!"

Seeing Mrs. Jia Zhang who almost got into a fight, Liu Haizhong felt a headache, and looked at everyone helplessly, saying calmly: "Everyone, please go back, we have to go to work tomorrow!"

"Second uncle, I don't have a job. What class will I have tomorrow?"

"Everyone who wants to go to work is still looking for someone outside!"

"Yes, these people have been found, but my old Zhao hasn't come back yet!"

"Second uncle, third uncle, did you ask someone to call them back?"

"What time is it? I still have to go to work tomorrow!"

Facing everyone's lack of cooperation, the second uncle was a little unhappy, but he did not dare to offend the public. He looked directly at Xu Damao and said, "Xu Damao, you have a bicycle, go and call them back."

"Why?"

Xu Damao was not happy.

With so many people, how could he find him alone?

"Why?"

"Just because you have a bicycle!"

"If you don't go, who will?"

"What, I can't order you anymore?"

Liu Haizhong took up his uncle's posture and prepared to use his power to overwhelm others.

At this time.

Jia Zhang, who seemed to have remembered something, quickly said to Xu Damao: "Yes! Xu Damao, go and find our Huairu. In the middle of the night..."

Halfway through, Jia Zhang didn't dare to speak any more.

Only then did she remember that Qin Huairu and Shazhu were together now!

This man and woman alone... (End of chapter)
