Chapter 1197 Li Mei is gone

It snowed all night that night. When it was dawn, the snow was getting lighter and the snow fell slightly from the sky.

Xixi still got up early. When she came out, the servants from the Xun family were sweeping the snow everywhere. She jumped to the kitchen, probably because she was afraid that the people at home would fall, so the road to the kitchen and yard had already been cleared out early.

Xixi looked at the snow piles in the yard, stood there and thought for a while, moved one of the snow to the entrance of the yard, and then poured some water on it.

After entering the kitchen, Li Mei was already stewing pig's trotter soup, and the peanuts were very fragrant.

Xixi sat on the stool and added firewood while chatting with Li Mei. She often came and the people in the kitchen got used to it. She would give her a copy of the things she made.

When the pig's trotter soup was almost ready, Xixi covered her stomach and said, "Grandma, I have a stomachache, so I'll go back first."

"What's going on?" Li Mei hurriedly put down her things and came over.

"It's okay. Maybe I ran away in a hurry and caught a cold when I came in the morning. I'll just go back and lie down for a while." Xixi waved her hand and said.

"Then go back quickly. Don't get up so early in the future. You like to eat the food made by grandma. I'll send it to you." Li Mei touched her head and said.

"I like to chat with grandma." Xixi said obediently, "I'm leaving."

"Okay, go back, slow down on the road." Li Mei instructed in a stern voice.

Xixi waved her hand and left the kitchen. She stood outside the door for a while. When she saw Sister Xin coming out to pour dirty water, she hurriedly said, "I'll go and pour it."

Sister Xin said, "No, this is the water I have just washed. It's very hot, don't burn you."

"It's okay, I'm not a precious person, and I just happened to pass by the bucket, so I'll pour it." Xixi took the basin of Sister Xin's hand without hesitation, and took it out.

Sister Xin wiped her hand with her apron and said to herself, "Why is this child so sensible?"

Xixi turned the wall, looked back, carried the water, and walked straight to the corner door of the kitchen.

Xixi poured water on the snow on it, and soon the snow melted and mixed the soup and flowed towards the kitchen.

Xixi found a place to throw the basin away, clapped her hands, left the kitchen yard, and found a corner to hide it.

In less than five minutes, Li Mei walked out of the kitchen and turned to tell Sister Xin, "There are also baking pancakes warm on the stove. When Gu Jin wakes up, he will bring them over, otherwise it will be cold in a while."

Sister Xin replied respectfully, "Don't worry, Miss Snow got up late today, so we all kept our breakfast hot."

Li Mei responded and walked back alone.

There was a door outside the kitchen. Li Mei walked to the entrance of the yard. A layer of thin ice formed on the steps. She didn't pay attention and slid under her feet and fell heavily to the ground.

Li Mei felt that after this fall, half of her body could not move, and she didn't know where her head was hit, and her whole body was stiff and could not move. She supported half of her body and wanted to call someone, but she ate a cold wind but couldn't speak.

It was very cold, and I don’t know when the snow became heavier. The wind blew the snow and hit the body, just like a knife cutting.

Li Mei fell in the snow and couldn't move her body, so she quickly felt her legs and feet stiff.

Xixi ran over from the corner and whispered, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"

Li Mei barely opened her eyes, and the cold and painful were cold, her lips trembled, and she couldn't speak at all.

"Grandma, you fell down. I'll help you aside and call someone." Xixi was very calm and dragged Li Mei hard to pull her next to her.

Li Mei is not tall and not fat. Another layer of snow fell on the ground, reducing friction. I don’t know why there is a layer of ice underneath, which allows people to slide on it.

Xixi pulled her to the corner of the wall, then took the dead grass piled on the side and covered her, whispering, "I'll cover my grandma so that it won't be cold anymore. I'll call someone, grandma wait."

Li Mei couldn't speak, covered with weeds from head to toe. She actually knew something in her heart. She struggled to get up, but her body couldn't move at all. She could only watch Xixi jumping and jumping away through the gaps of the weeds.

"Shen Qingsong, Xiao Jin..."

Li Mei opened her mouth and gradually swept towards her. All she could do was despair in her heart.

Xixi shoveled all the ice at the entrance of the courtyard with a shovel, and swept all the footprints he had stepped on, so she returned to his home as if nothing had happened.

Bai Siqi was very happy to see Xixi jumping all the way, patted the snow on her body, and said gently, "What's so happy? Have you gone to the kitchen to eat again?"

Xixi smiled and said, "Yes, the pork thigh soup made by grandma is so delicious."

"That's for Gu Jin to drink. Don't go all day long to make people annoyed." Bai Siqi whispered, "Others are so upset that they can say it out loud, but we have to know it."

Xixi said, "Then I won't go in the future."

"Well, don't go." Bai Siqi said.

...

The weather was bad, and Gu Jin got up later than usual. When he opened his eyes, his eyelids were constantly streaking and feeling a little restless.

Jiang Yi smiled and said, "It's cold today, I'll take out my newly made jacket for you."

"Well," Gu Jin answered lightly and asked, "Where is my mother-in-law?"

"Your mother-in-law went to the kitchen to cook food for you early in the morning." Jiang Yi said gently.

Gu Jin looked at the snow outside the window and frowned and said, "The weather is not good in the future, don't let my mother-in-law cook for me."

"Okay, the weather is bad, I won't let her go."

"Did Duan Yanghong get up?"

"I've gotten up long ago and I'm playing military fist in the backyard. Your father-in-law has accompanied me. I said that it was cold and asked Duan Yanghong to rest for a day, but he didn't listen to me." Jiang Yi said helplessly, "I've never seen any child in a family as hardworking as Duan Yanghong."

After washing up, Gu Jin went to the restaurant, but Li Mei was not there. He asked Xunjie, "When did my mother-in-law leave?"

Sister Xin thought for a while, "It's been two or three hours."

"You go to the kitchen to ask." Gu Jin ordered.

"OK."

At this time, Duan Yanghong and Shen Jian came back from the backyard. Duan Yanghong's face turned red. Shen was really energetic. "This heavy snow is so good. Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. Our farmers will have a good harvest in the coming year."

Gu Jin took a towel and asked Duan Yanghong to wipe the snow on Shen Jian's hair. "It's still snowing, can't you stop the snow before going?"

"This little snow is not cold." Shen Jian waved his hand.

Duan Yanghong panted and asked, "Where is grandma?"

“Go to the kitchen.”

"I wonder what delicious food I made today?" Duan Yanghong said with a grin.

Gu Jin was absent-minded, walked out of the restaurant, looked to the corridor, waiting for Sister Xin, Jiang Yi and Li Mei to come back together.

The snow was getting smaller in the morning, and now it was getting heavier and heavier. Looking at the entire Xun family, it was covered with snow.

The leaves bent over the wall, and when the wind passed, the snow fell.

Someone came out to sweep the snow in the yard again. Gu Jin walked two steps in front of the door and was anxious. He was about to go to the kitchen by himself when he saw Jiang Yi running back in a hurry. He came to the front and said breathlessly, "Xiao Jin, the people in the kitchen said that your mother-in-law has been back long ago."

Gu Jinxin became cold and looked at Sister Xin, "Call everyone in the family and ask who has seen my mother?"

"Yes." Sister Xin hurriedly went to pass the message.

Shen Jian came over, "What's wrong?"

"Sister Xin said that my mother went to the kitchen to cook, but just now, the people in the kitchen said that my mother had already come back." Gu Jin frowned and said.

Shen Jian didn't care and said with a smile, "It must be that it was morning and I went back to my room to sleep. I'll go find her."

As he said that, he walked to the room where the two of them were holding his hands behind their backs.

Gu Jin followed behind him.

The quilts in the room were neatly folded, so where were there people?

Shen Jian was also stunned for a moment, "Where did this old woman go?"

Sister Xin asked everyone in the family to ask questions, and replied to Gu Jin, "Gu Jin, I have asked them all, and said that she only saw her go out, but she didn't see her come back."

Gu Jin's heart sank and immediately ordered, "Call out all the guards at home, and then report the case, and ask the police to come."

Seeing that Gu Jin was anxious, Sister Xin hurriedly supported her and passed on her words.

There were guards left by Shen Qingsong at home, and they were scattered and searched for Li Mei at the Xun family.

It was snowing outside and the road was slippery. Jiang Yi didn't dare to let Gu Jin go out. Seeing her uneasy face, Shen Jian suppressed the anxiety in his heart and pretended to calmly comfort her, "It's okay, your mother is not dizzy or deaf, and she can still walk out of the Xun family by herself. I guess she's chatting with people, and I'll find it in a while."
