A room of people as if just returned to God, babble of things after tell Shi Xiaorui listen.
About a few days ago, Shi Qing took Wu Liang and borrowed the donkey from Liu Xiaoliu's family, the couple who asked to find the donkey. One donkey left the village the same day, and then never came back. It's been at least four or five days.
"They borrowed donkeys. Where are they going?" Shi Xiaorui asked with a frown.
"I don't know. Wu Liang came back at noon and soon left again. He only said he would go out, but he didn't say where he was going. He didn't bring anything." Wu Liang's mother said.
In fact, Wu Liang took some money with him, but he was small and put it directly in his arms, so his parents didn't know about it. They thought he didn't bring anything.
Liu Xiaoliu, who had been silent, couldn't help but put in a word: "Wu Liang said that he borrowed a donkey for one day."
Wu Liang's parents asked strangely, "how do you know? He said, "where have you been?"
Liu Xiaoliu said: "he gave me money to borrow donkey for one day."
Although they are speechless, the stinginess of the Liu family is not a matter of one or two days. The most important thing now is the news from them.
Shi Xiaorui analyzed: "what's Wu Liang's usual character like? Do you like to take advantage? "
Wu Liang's mother was not willing at that time: "my son is very good, who will take advantage of others' small advantage, holding on to a few Wen!" She said, staring at Xiao Liuyi.
Small six when did not hear the same, low head does not speak, do not argue with her.
Wu Liang's mother couldn't get angry at his attitude. After all, she had seen him grow up and had a good relationship with Wu Liang.
She said with a slow breath, "no, we Wu liangding are ding Mao. We have never been bad at other people's accounts."
Shi Xiaorui also realized that he just asked the wrong way, quickly apologized: "aunt, I don't mean that. Since Wu Liangping was honest and didn't deliberately give less money to others, he gave Xiao Liu the money to rent a donkey for one day. That is to say, at least when he borrowed the donkey, he thought he would be able to return it in one day. In other words, he does want to go out, but the distance must be within a day's round trip. "
Shi Xiaorui's analysis is reasonable, and everyone nods.
"Dad, did Shi Qing go out and tell his family?"
Father Shi shakes his head. I don't know if it's psychological factor. Shi Xiaorui always feels that there are more wrinkles on his face.
"Catkins, did Shi Qing tell you?"
Catkins also shook her head, her face waxy yellow, now dark green, eyes look far red.
Shi Xiaorui turns her questioning eyes to Shi Wangshi again. It's no surprise that she doesn't know.
"If you don't have any clues, guess. With the village as the center, the most likely place for them to go is the county town, where they can go back and forth within a day." Shi Xiaorui said, "but what are they doing in the county at this time?"
Father Shi sighed: "I said before that I would let Shi Qing find a job, otherwise I would honestly do farm work at home..."
Wu Liang's mother took her eyes and looked at father Shi's face: "you too?"
Father Shi didn't respond: "what is it?"
Wu Liang's father said: "I also urge Xiao Liang to find a job. He is so old. How can he ask for his daughter-in-law if he doesn't save some money?"
"Shi Xiaorui interface:" so they may be to the county to find a job
Shi Qing that temperament, can bear the temperament, peace of mind only to find an ordinary job?
"Why borrow my donkey? You can't let both of them ride a donkey Liu said.
When she finished, she thought it was wrong: "the two of them should not just ride my donkey. How can the donkey bear it?"
Liu Xiaoliu pulled her sleeve beside her.
Sleeve was dragged for a long time, Aunt Liu just from the donkey huge heartache in response to come over, Shan Shan closed his mouth.
Shi Xiaorui doesn't think that two people ride donkeys together. Donkeys are not bigger than horses. They are smaller in size and carry less weight. Even if there are two people on the back of donkeys, they will walk slower than themselves. Half the way, donkeys are tired. Can they carry them back?
But it's strange to ride a donkey and walk alone.
Shi Xiaorui thought for a long time, but didn't figure out what they were going to do.
Unless it's a clever plan, who would have thought that Shi Qing had a sprained foot that day, but he was still in the mood to go to the county that day?
I can't figure it out, so Shi Xiaorui has to put the donkey on it first and continue to analyze the existing clues.
"Xiao Liu, did Wu Liang come to you alone to borrow a donkey?"
Liu Xiaoliu replied, "he is the only one."
"When did you borrow the donkey?"
Liu Xiaoliu thought hard, this year there is no table, rural judgment time is to see the sun, not so accurate, Liu Xiaoliu only gave a rough time: "after breakfast for a while, Shi Qing came to borrow."
Shi Xiaorui estimated the time: "don't care about the donkey first. If they only rely on walking, if their goal is the county, they will arrive at noon."
Shi Xiaorui asked his father, "have you looked for it in the county?"
Wang Shi clenched his sleeve and cried: "no! We found it in the village and in the nearby mountains! "
Shi Xiaorui is speechless, but after all, the news is out of the way and there are few people in this year. Even if she wants to go further, I'm afraid it doesn't have much efficiency.
At this time, the village head said: "Xiaorui, it's not that I don't help looking for people. It was busy farming in the past two days. Every family was collecting food. Where can we spare the land for manpower? Besides, Shi Qing and Wu Liang went out by themselves. I'm afraid they are more likely to leave by themselves."
What the village head said is not a complete excuse for himself. He sincerely thinks that Shi Qing and Wu Liang ran away on their own. The reasons are all ready-made. The parents of the two families force their lazy sons to work together. They want to make them diligent one day or two. How can there be such a good thing in the world? I'm afraid it's urgent. These two people can't stand it. They run out of the door in a rage. If they can't get along outside, they will come back honestly.
The gossip spread in the village these two days that two people were dragged away and eaten by wolves is even more ridiculous. The little hill near the village can't hide the wolf. It's just that the gossipy women in the village scare the ignorant children.
What's more, the rice harvest has just finished these days, and the subsequent drying and threshing of rice have not started yet. The two families are making a fuss every day to ask the village to help them find someone, but they refuse to even pay for it. Who is willing to do the injustice?
Others are easy to shirk. Only the village head has been harassed by them at home for two days in a row. It's very disturbing. Finally, Shi Xiaorui has come back. The village head plans to have a good talk with Shi Xiaorui. To mobilize the villagers to find people, they have to understand some rules, don't they?
