Chapter 15: The third child is missing
Yi Mingxue turned around when she heard the sound.
I saw a somewhat familiar young woman running towards me.
The young woman glanced at Yi Qingqing beside her, with an imperceptible strange color flashing in her eyes.
However, she quickly hid it behind a bright smile.
"Qingqing, why are you willing to go out with your eldest sister to play today?"
Yi Qingqing was in a good mood today and even whispered hello to her.
"Sister Chunlan——"
Li Chunlan had a smile on her face, but her eyes quickly glanced at the new clothes on the sisters and the backpack covered with white cloth behind Yi Mingxue.
"Great, if I had known you would come to the market, I wouldn't have asked my family to pick me up! Let's go back to the village together!"
Li Chunlan looked very familiar with the sisters of the Yi family, and even Yi Baoer grinned sweetly at her, revealing her two lovely baby teeth.
Yi Mingxue was also a little strange. In the memory of the original owner, she quite trusted and relied on her "best friend" Li Chunlan.
However, in the current Yi Mingxue's view, this person is probably not as easy to get along with as she showed.
Sure enough, a few people had just walked out of the town.
I heard Li Chunlan ask insinuatingly, "I've been back to my parents' house these days. Has the matter at your house been settled?"
Yi Mingxue didn't know what she was talking about, so she could only say vaguely, "Well, I guess."
Unexpectedly, she suddenly came closer and asked in a low voice.
"Look at this, are the third and fifth sons for sale?"
Yi Mingxue narrowed her eyes and immediately became alert.
Li Chunlan didn't notice her change, and said to herself, "Although it is not as valuable as the second brother, your third sister is full of tricks, and the fifth brother is also a cripple, so you can just sell it! How about it? How much did it cost in total?"
Yi Mingxue didn't answer, but she didn't interrupt her either.
Then she continued to say, "But you did the right thing, buy some new clothes and delicious food for the remaining ones. This is what I teach you to use retreat to make progress and win people's hearts."
Yi Mingxue sneered in her heart, wondering if the original owner was instigated by this smiling ghost to do so many immoral things?!
She glanced sideways at Li Chunlan and said coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about? They are all my biological brothers and sisters, why should I sell them?"
Li Chunlan was stunned by her questioning. It took her a long time to react, and her face was a little confused, "Look, why are you so anxious all of a sudden? I don't have good intentions and want to help you solve the problems at home."
"Oh, then I thank you!" Yi Mingxue said sarcastically.
She never liked to associate with such hypocritical people, so she simply took the hands of the second and fourth children and walked quickly towards the village.
Li Chunlan was a few steps behind, and seeing no one around, she could no longer hide the disdain on her face.
I don’t know what kind of arrogance Yi Mingxue is about? She is an ugly and fat evil girl, and she also has a family of poor and miserable orphans.
She actually had the nerve to tell herself that her father had gone to Beijing to become a high official, and from now on she would be an official lady! Bah! What a face!
Now in the entire village, who else would take the initiative to say a word to her, except herself?
Isn't it good to just accept your fate and live miserable life? Why bother?
Li Chunlan stares at the fourth sister and brother of the Yi family with malicious eyes. Yi Mingxue has been surviving in the apocalypse for ten years, and her perception is far beyond that of ordinary people.
She didn't know why Li Chunlan was so malicious towards the original owner's family.
But she knows that this is a mad dog, and a mad dog that can play tricks!
Yi Qingqing also noticed something strange, and she asked Yi Mingxue cautiously, "Sister... we... why don't we wait for Sister Chunlan..."
Yi Mingxue said without looking back, "Stay away from this person from now on, do you hear me?"
Yi Qingqing was confused, wasn't the eldest sister always the best friend with Sister Chunlan? But she still nodded obediently.
Yi Mingxue told the fourth and sixth children again, "You two, too, don't laugh when you see her in the future. To avoid bad luck!"
Her voice was neither loud nor quiet, just enough for Li Chunlan behind her to hear.
Li Chunlan was so angry that she almost tore a pink handkerchief into two pieces.
It was almost evening when the few people returned to the village.
"Third sister, fifth brother, we are back!"
"Come out and see what eldest sister has bought for us?" Yi Tianlei couldn't wait to shout loudly as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the hospital.
As a result, there was silence in the room.
Not only Yi Changle, but also Yi Yutang, who has inconvenient legs and feet, was not at home.
Yi Mingxue frowned, it was almost dark today, where could we go?
"Look for each other separately!"
Yi Qingqing hurriedly searched around the house several times, but in the end she couldn't find anyone. She was so anxious that she almost cried, "What... should I do... I've looked everywhere... there's no one..."
Yi Tianlei was very anxious, "Sister, what will happen to Third Sister and Lao Wu? Could it be that the uncle's family came to look for trouble again while we were away?!"
"Don't worry! Everything at home is still there, maybe he went out to play." Yi Mingxue reassured the children.
But she also had doubts. The third child might run out to play, but what about the fifth child?
She immediately closed her eyes, began to concentrate, and released her powers to sense her surroundings.
This is the first time she has used her powers since she came here.
Her water power is very precious, and she usually only uses it to water spiritual rice; using it like this in the real world, even if it is only once in a while, is a huge drain on her.
Soon, I felt a familiar breath in Aunt Li's home.
Yi Mingxue breathed a sigh of relief. She put down her backpack and ran to the door of Aunt Li's house in three steps at a time.
"Auntie, are my third sister and fifth brother at your house?"
Aunt Li was stirring the chicken food in front of the back eaves. When she heard this, she replied, "The third child of your family came here this afternoon carrying the fifth child on his back. He said he was playing with her brother Huzi. He should be on the kang in the back room right now."
"
Yi Mingxue quickly walked into the room. Yi Yutang was indeed on the kang, but Yi Changle was nowhere to be seen.
"Where is your third sister?" Yi Mingxue's face darkened.
Yi Yutang was originally afraid of her, but now he was even more frightened by her gloomy expression.
The hair in front of his forehead fell down, blocking all the light in his eyes.
"..." Yi Mingxue realized that she might have frightened this sensitive child, and quickly slowed down her tone.
"Don't worry, I won't hit her. I'm just worried that if she runs out alone, she will get into trouble and suffer a loss!"
Yi Yutang has indeed become more cheerful in recent days, but among the children, he was the one who suffered the most from his original owner.
Therefore, even though he has improved, he is still a gloomy and strange child among his peers.
Yi Mingxue understood his excessive defensiveness. It seemed that Carpenter Wang's affairs had to be pushed forward quickly, and the plan to treat his leg had to be put on the agenda.
"Did she go looking for wolf skins and pine mushroom seeds?" Yi Mingxue was good at tempting.
Yi Yutang hesitated for a long time, but finally nodded, "She said if you don't help her, she will catch the thief herself."
Yi Mingxue couldn't help but sigh secretly, why is this Yi Laosan so anxious!
At this moment, an anxious shout suddenly came from outside the house.
"Da Ya! Yi Da Ya!"
"Go quickly! Your third child was beaten by your uncle's family!!"
