Chapter 57 - Chapter 57 - Mo Xiao Xia's Disappearance
Master Zhao was sitting on the oxcart, waiting for someone. Mo Xiao Yan walked over and asked: "Grandpa Zhao, what do you think? We, this thing, do take up a lot of space here. I'd like to take your oxcart back to your place. It's still too early anyway, you can still rush back later to pull some people over. "
Hearing that it was okay, Mo Xiao Yan was not worried anymore. As long as the price was reasonable, it could be negotiated.
"Then, Grandpa Zhao, how many coppers do you think you'll get for this trip?" Mo Xiao Yan asked.
The Master Zhao thought for a moment, then said: "How about this, this trip to the Master Zhao is worth 40 copper coins, Little Xiao Yan, do you think that will work?"
Mo Xiao Yan thought about it for a while. Forty copper coins were not expensive, because if he were to return at this hour, he would not be able to get people to rush to the market.
"Mm, alright. Forty copper coins. Then let's go, Grandpa Zhao." Mo Xiao Yan said happily.
Mo Lin Yu placed the barbeque on the ox-cart and the two sat inside. Then, the Master Zhao drove the ox-cart back to the village.
Mo Xiao Yan thought, if he were to go home every day, wouldn't he have to buy an ox-cart? He wanted to buy an ox-cart, but in order to do business, he would have to invest some money and save some money. He decided to wait until he had more money before he could consider buying an ox-cart.
When they reached the entrance of the village, Mo Xiao Yan paid for the oxcart and the two hurried back.
When he returned home, Lee's was drying his clothes.
Seeing that Mo Xiao Yan had returned so early, he said: "Xiao Yan, why are you back so early today, are you not playing around in the town?"
Without waiting for Mo Xiao Yan to reply, Mo Lin Yu came in from the back with something in his hand. Lee's saw the barbecue rack Mo Lin Yu had put down.
He came over to take a closer look and said, "How does this thing do those things you speak of?"
"Mother, you'll know when the time comes. This is very simple, not difficult at all. You'll understand once you see it." Mo Xiao Yan said mischievously.
Lee's said, "Girl, if only mother was that smart."
"Xiao Yan, how do you know how to do all these?" Mo Lin Yu asked curiously.
"Big Brother, this is what I do every day. I've dreamed of it before, and I just wanted to see if I could earn some money." Mo Xiao Yan spoke nonsense.
Hearing Mo Xiao Yan's words, Mo Lin Yu did not ask anymore, but he thought that this girl had a lot of clever ideas.
Lee's thought that Mo Xiao Yan was the one who earned the money from his family. He would spend it however he wanted, but it would also be a chance to earn money, so maybe it would also be a good idea.
"Are you all hungry? Mother will go cook. " The Lee's said.
"Alright mother, let me give you a hand." Mo Xiao Yan was in a good mood today.
Mo Lin Yu was also free right now, so he went to light a fire. The three of them worked together and very quickly, they finished cooking.
When Mo Xiao Xia was still not back yet, the Lee's said: "Let's eat first, we'll leave some food for Xiao Xia to warm up in the pot later."
"Sure, fine. I'll go get the rice." Mo Xiao Yan said.
Recently, Mo Xiao Yan suddenly became so diligent and sensible, even Lee's was not used to it.
The few of them finished their meal. The sky was already dark, and if Mo Xiao Xia still hadn't returned, Mo Lin Yu and the Lee's would have been a little anxious. If it was by this time, they would have been back by now. However, for some reason, even though it was already dark today, she still did not return.
"Mom, why don't I go to the Chen family? Why haven't you come back yet?" Mo Lin Yu was also in a hurry.
"Then why don't you go and take a look? If she's still in the Chen family, you just have to wait. Come back with her and have a companion along the way." Lee's said worriedly.
"Mom, I'll go with big brother." Mo Xiao Yan asked for Lee's's consent.
"Mm, then go ahead and stay with your big brother. Don't run around in the middle of the night." Lee's agreed to Mo Xiao Yan's request.
The two of them hastily rushed towards the Chen family residence, and when they passed by Mo Chun Lan's house, they seemed to have heard Mo Chun Lan's voice coming from the courtyard.
Mo Lin Yu then ran over and knocked on the door. After a while, a servant finally opened the door.
Without waiting for the servant to speak, Mo Lin Yu entered the house. Last time, it was the birthday of the Chen family's old granny, so Mo Lin Yu went to help out.
Mo Lin Yu went into the courtyard and saw that there was no one around, making him even more anxious. He then asked the servant by the side, "Do you know where my sister, Mo Xiao Xia, has gone back to? She's learning embroidery here. "
There were a lot of people here learning embroidery, and the servant did not know which girl Mo Xiao Xia was from.
Then he replied, "I don't know the girl you're talking about. There are a lot of girls here learning embroidery, but they all left before nightfall."
Mo Xiao Yan didn't say anything. The sky had already darkened for such a long time, so learning embroidery must have been done during the day. It was impossible to learn it at night, so he couldn't see clearly either. After all, this was just learning, not working in a hurry to embroider it so I could buy it.
"Big brother, let's go out and search." Mo Xiao Yan walked over and said.
"But where are we going to find them at this time of night? Do you think Xiao Xia will go to Yue Mei's house? " Mo Lin Yu thought about everything that Mo Xiao Xia might go to.
"Then let's go to Sister Yue Mei's house to take a look first." Mo Xiao Yan said.
In fact, Mo Xiao Yan thought that he would have to pass by her own house to go to Liu Yue Mei. If Mo Xiao Xia went to her home, according to her personality, he would definitely go home and greet him. A few days ago, Liu Yue Mei said that her home was relatively busy, so she decided to visit the Chen family. The possibility of Mo Xiao Xia coming to his home was very small.
Just as the two of them were about to leave, a few people came from behind. It was difficult to see their faces clearly at night.
But from the voices, one of them was Chen Zi Mo, and the other one seemed to be his follower. The other one however, was a little unclear.
Just as he walked to the main entrance, Chen Zi Mo called out to Mo Xiao Yan, and said: "Xiao Yan, for what reason have you come to my house so late at night?"
"I'm here to look for my Second Sister. She hasn't come home yet, so my big brother and I are here to take a look." Mo Xiao Yan explained his purpose for coming.
The few of them were a little distance away, and up till now, Mo Xiao Yan still could not see the person beside Chen Zi Mo clearly.
The person by the side spoke: So it's little sister Xiao Yan.
At this point of time, the few of them had reached the door, and Mo Xiao Yan was able to clearly see that person's appearance.
In front of his own big brother, Mo Xiao Yan could not act as if he was very familiar with them.
"Why are you here?" Mo Xiao Yan was a little surprised, he actually knew Chen Zi Mo as well.
"Of course I have something important to take care of here. Now that we're going out, should we leave together?" Leng Qian Ye said with a smile.
