On a rainy night like this, even the most loyal old dog who had been guarding his post was thinking of hiding in his kennel to take a nap.
However, Jiao Jiao, who was in the main room of the lin family, opened his eyes, put on his clothes, shoes, and tiptoed past his grandparents before opening the door and sneaking out of the house.
The dirt road that had been soaked in the rain for a few days was a little muddy. In the dark night, the mountain forest was like a monster with its teeth bared and claws bared, looking extremely terrifying.
But Jiao Jiao tried hard to hold it in and walked forward, emboldening himself.
When she finally reached her destination, she was so tired that she sat on the steps and refused to get up.
This was an abandoned mountain temple. It was five or six miles away from the lin family village. A few years ago, there was still a fragrant fire. However, the days of everyone became more and more difficult, and they couldn' t even feed themselves. There was no need for them to show their filial piety to the mountain god. So the temple was slowly crumbling, and no one paid any attention to it except for the occasional traveler who missed his lodging party for one night.
Jiao Jiao thought about it for a few days and wanted to use the god of wealth's territory as a cover. In the future, she had a reason to take things from her space, so the lin family's young and old could live on without worries.
With that thought in mind, she gritted her teeth and took off her shoes. She stepped on the threshold barefooted and saw that the muddy footprints had been washed away by the rain before she flashed into her space.
The shoes were cleaned and quickly hung with the clothes. Jiao Jiao quickly carried a bunch of snacks into the bed.
Although it was hot in the summer, the mountain rain was still very cold.
She could not bear to see her loved ones like this.
Jiao Jiao ate happily and smiled from ear to ear at the thought of the good days ahead.
The rain was still falling outside and the time in the space was stretched out very long. Jiao Jiao slept two nights, and even tidied up his little nest, until it was daylight outside.
Afraid that she would miss the opportunity, she quickly put on her dry clothes, shoes and socks to get out of her space and lay on the tattered futons in front of the god's case.
Furthermore, old master lin had maintained the habit of getting up early for half his life. He was the first to get up as usual today. He was worried about his little granddaughter's bloated stomach yesterday, so he decided to go into the cubicle to take a look.
Thinking of how his granddaughter would not only move out of the cubicle when she was older, he couldn' t just casually visit her. The old man felt a little upset.
As a result, the slanted pillow on the kang and the empty bed made his beard stand up in shock.
"What about Jiao Jiao? "
'What are you yelling about in the morning? "
Dong shi was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly woken up and asked," where's Jiao Jiao? Where's Jiao Jiao?" "
Mrs. Dong was so shocked that she woke up and dozed off. She rushed to the kang and went to check the bedding. She really couldn' t find her granddaughter, so she asked," did you go to the latrine outside? "
She asked for a reason. Jiao Jiao had been different since he was a child. She had refused to pee in her baby clothes for five or six months, and she would always make a sound and never cry. Small people just full of age to learn to walk, learn to eat their own meals do not sprinkle rice without soup, clean and sensible people pain into the heart.
She was a little older and refused to go to the bathroom in the house no matter winter or summer. Every time her family talked about it, they would say that the child was born rich, but had miscarried.
Elder lin heard what dong shi said and got a reminder. He went out and shouted at the toilet in the corner of the courtyard," Jiao Jiao? Is Jiao Jiao in the latrine? "
Unfortunately, there was no movement in the toilet.
After that, the dong corporation came out and went straight into the toilet. When they came out, their faces were as white as paper.
"Jiao Jiao ... Jiao Jiao is not here! "
At this time, feng shi also rubbed her eyes and came out of the room." Mother, why are you calling Jiao Jiao this morning? Didn't she have a bloated stomach last night? Let her sleep more." "
"Jiao Jiao is not in your room? "
"He's not here." Feng shi was confused." Didn't Jiao Jiao sleep with mother all the time? "
The east wing and the west wing all opened the door, and together with the lin baoer who lived in the back room, they brought their brothers over. The courtyard was filled with people for a while, but old lin and the dong family were filled with anxiety.
The whole family's here, except ... Jiao Jiao!
"Look, Jiao Jiao is gone! "
Madam dong's mouth trembled as she uttered this sentence.
This sentence completely triggered the entire lin family and even the entire lin family village.
In the lin family, regardless of the age of men and women, even six-year-old lin jia Lin Yuan took a small stick and flipped through the chicken coop and the pigsty. The older lin baolin, lin pingrong, ran out of the courtyard to ask about the girls that Jiao Jiao usually visited.
Unfortunately, Jiao Jiao disappeared into thin air without a trace.
Feng shi thought of the rumors in the city that there were inflexions and could not hold it in any longer. She fell to the ground and cried bitterly." My Jiao Jiao, where have you been? If you have anything to do with it, my mother will not live! "
Madam dong's legs were also weak, her face was pale and her lips were green.
Not to mention that she loved Jiao Jiao the most, but now Jiao Jiao had been thrown under her nose. How could she live and face her son and daughter-in-law in the future?
Old master lin's bones didn' t hurt at all. Even when he faced a barbarian like a beast back then, he wasn' t so afraid. When he thought about how he had been lying in his arms yesterday and calling out for his grandfather's granddaughter to be lost and not coming back, he felt his blood rush up to his head.
"Pick up the firewood knife and follow me out of the village to look for it. If there are any suspicious outsiders, tie them up first and find Jiao Jiao no matter what! "
At this moment, the rest of the families in the village gathered to hear the news.
Without waiting for old master lin to ask, the men ran back to get some firewood knives, ropes, and other items and rushed out of the village to search around.
Occasionally, some out-of-towners who got up early to catch sight of them were frightened, but they were not very surprised. After all, because the mountain pass was close to the grassland where the barbarians lived, the climate was cold, and the people's wind was the most powerful place in the country.
Because most of them lived under their surnames, it was common for them to have a dispute every time.
She even heard the noise because she had lost her child. There were also people from the countryside who volunteered to provide information about where they met the person who was taking care of the child in the morning.
Jiao Jiao had no way of knowing what had happened. She had been trying to find an excuse for her space for the past few days and could not sleep well. Now that she had settled her plan, she relaxed and fell asleep on the old futon.
She was still in a daze when she woke up from her dream. She looked dazedly at her grandfather who was full of surprise and mumbled," grandpa, I still want to sleep. "
Elder lin's eyes turned red as he hugged his granddaughter." Okay, okay, grandpa will carry you home to sleep. "
