"What happened?" Zhang asked. Jiang had always been quiet, almost smiling without showing his teeth, and could not speak loudly. It was rare to see her show such a panic expression.

"It's Duo'er." Jiang said, and his eyes turned red. "Now we're going to have dinner, but no one has been seen yet. Jizu and I have searched for both front and back yards, but we haven't found them."

Lian Duoer is gone?!

In addition to Zhang staying in the house, Lian Shouxin brought a few children to the upper room, and Shouli, Zhao and Lian Ye'er followed. After a while, Shouyi and He and several children from the second room also came.

"When did it happen?" Old Master Lian asked when Lian Duoer disappeared.

"After the flower was burned, Duo'er was not in the house." Jiang said.

"Why didn't you find someone earlier?" Zhou asked. After a series of accidents at home, Zhou was very upset and talked to Jiang's grandson and daughter-in-law, but she no longer had her usual kindness.

Jiang's face turned red, and after thinking about it, he said, "At noon, I didn't see Duo'er, so I shouted in the front and back yards, but I didn't see anyone. I told my mother that Duo'er had splashed water and burned the flower. Duo'er was afraid of being beaten, so she probably hid and couldn't run out of the yard. She could come back when she was having a meal."

After saying these words, Jiang glanced at Lian Jizu.

"Yue'e has always been worried that we have searched all the front and back yards, but still couldn't find Duo'er. Grandma, what can I do about this?" Lian Jizu said.

Lian Man'er remembered that Lian Huaer was burned and fainted. Lian Duoer was shocked. He said next to him that if Lian Huaer had any good fortune, Gu and the others would have to beat Lian Duoer to death. After hearing He's words, Lian Duoer turned around and ran to the backyard.

"Have you looked for it carefully?" asked the old man.

"I have searched carefully, but I haven't found it." Lian Jizu said affirmatively.

The front and back yards of the Lian family are large, with a lot of vegetables and vegetables planted. Some debris, firewood and other things are piled up, and there are many places to hide. Lian Jizu and Jiang did not always live in this old house. If Lian Duoer hides in a place and doesn't come out, they may not be able to find it.

"Look at the front and back yards carefully." Even the old man was calm. "You all go."

After the old man gave the order, the people from the Lian family came out of the house and searched for them in the front and back yards.

Even if there are many families, there are more than a dozen adults and children. Now the benefits of having too many people are shown. The front and back yards are spread out, which is simply a carpet-style search.

"Duoer is afraid that the eldest uncle will punish her. When we call her, we will tell her that it is the grandparents and grandma. As long as she comes out, I will guarantee that she will not punish her." Lian Man'er suggested.

Old Man Lian was standing in the outer room with a tobacco pipe in his hand, opening the front and back doors wide and waiting for the result. After hearing Lian Man'er's words, he thought it made sense, so he asked everyone to look for it and tell Lian Duoer to come out. No one dared to punish her.

While calling Lian Duoer's name, everyone searched for all corners and places where people could hide.

In this way, the front and back yards were almost turned upside down, but Lian Duoer was still not found.

Everyone gathered again to go to the room. It was already evening and most people started making supper.

"...Duoer can go wherever she can go. She wrapped her feet and returned here, she didn't even go out even if she went out. Apart from this yard, where else can she go."

"Don't be looking for a shortcoming, right?" He said suddenly.

"Nonsense!" Old Master Lian glared at He.

Lian Duoer is only ten years old and is very fragile. When encountering such a thing, it is very likely that the sky has fallen, and it is not impossible to find a short-sighted view.

"If you don't have any at home, just go out and look for it." Mr. Lian said, "Do you have any family you know?"

If you know a friend, you may hide at your friend's house when you are scared.

Everyone looked at each other. Lian Jizu and Jiang came back to the town later. At that time, there was already a case of Lian Huaer smashing the pre-order. Even Huaer and Lian Duoer no longer went out, nor did they interact with the girls in the village. Naturally, they didn't know.

I guess Gu and Lian Huaer should know, but unfortunately they are not there.

"When Sister Huaer first came back, she was having fun with Yingzi and the others. By the way, it was the well in front of Yingzi's house. They had been playing there for many days." Shiro provided a clue.

"Ye?" Old Master Lian couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.

If Lian Duoer finds a mistake, that well is really a good choice.

There are several shared wells in Sanshiliyingzi. The closest to Lian's family is the well at the door of Yingzi's house. Walk west from Lian's door and cross a small path in the village, and there is a large open space. Yingzi's house is there, and the well is also on the open space, not far from Yingzi's door.

Poplar trees are planted on the south and west sides of this well. Going further west, there are more and more poplar trees, forming a forest of poplar trees. There is a road between the poplar trees, leading directly to Wang Juren's house. These poplar trees are also the property of Wang Juren's family.

Because of this location, only a dozen families including the Lian family and Yingzi family are using this well.

This time, the old man Lian took his family out and went straight to the well.

Lian Man'er followed Lian Shouxin and walked towards the well.

"Man'er, you don't have to go there." Lian Shouxin suddenly stopped and said to Lian Zhi'er, "Zhier, you take your sister with you."

"Oh." Lian Zhi'er agreed happily, then came over and grabbed Lian Man'er's hand tightly, and pointed the other hand at a big stone in front of him and said, "Man'er, let's watch here."

Goro and Xiaoqi did not follow him, but surrounded Lian Man'er with a look of concern on their faces.

Lian Man'er was a little puzzled at first, but she soon understood. That well should be where she was injured. Lian Shouxin and others were afraid that she would remember what happened before when she saw this well.

Speaking of which, even though she was cooking at home, she had never done the job of digging water from the well. She had never seen this well.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry." Lian Man'er said to Lian Zhi'er, and she was still a little curious about the well.

At this time, Mr. Lian and his three sons had already walked to the waterside, and lay on the edge of the well and looked down. Lian Jizu shouted Lian Duoer's name loudly.

Lian Man'er took Lian Zhi'er's hand and leaned forward until he could see the well clearly before he stopped.

This well is not big, but it is surrounded by stones and is more than one foot high. A wheel is built on the well, and a straw rope is tied to the wheel. When someone comes to fetch water, he must tie the small wooden barrel to the end of the straw rope and throw it into the well. When the bucket is not in the well water, shake the wheel handle and lift the bucket full of water up.

This is not only a hard work, but also requires some skills. These days, Lian Shuixin comes to bring water every day. Sometimes when the family is short of water, Lian Shuixin happens to be away from home. Lian Zhier and Goro come. The two of them work together to lift the water from the well and pour it into the big wooden barrel. When the big wooden barrel is filled with water, the two of them work together to carry it home.

"No one." Lian Shouyi and Lian Jizu looked inside at the wellhead, and stood up and said.

The water in the well was very deep. If someone really fell down, it should have floated up by this time. Lian Duoer was not inside, and the old man was relieved, and then he was still worried about where Lian Duoer had gone?

At this time, some people who cooked breakfast had already eaten and walked to the door to enjoy the cool air. When they saw the Lian family's attitude, they all came over, and they all guessed that something must have happened, so they came over.

He walked towards Lian Man'er and sat down on the big stone in front of Yingzi's house.

"Duoer is hard to walk," said He, "Just as close as this well, where else can she go?"

Judging from He's meaning, it seemed that Lian Duoer had found a short-term view.

Even Man'er didn't say anything.

"Yingzi, did you see our family's sirloin?" He shouted into the door of Yingzi's family.

Lian Man'er turned her head and saw Yingzi standing in the fence door and looking out.

"What's wrong with Lian Duoer? Are you all here to look for her?" Yingzi walked out of the door and stood beside He and asked. Unlike the usual Zhuanghu girls, Yingzi also had powder on her face and was coated with rouge. Her dress was deliberately made narrow and tightly wrapped around her body, making her look very plump. Looking at this, although she was not as good as Lian Huaer, she was a bit beautiful.

"She used water to burn Sister Hua'er's legs, and she was scared, so she ran away." He told Yingzi about the matter, and she had to add some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

"Ouch!" Yingzi raised one hand and covered her mouth, revealing a yellow bracelet on her wrist. "Aunt Lian Er, isn't that flower disabled?"

"It's not a cripple, it's okay to walk. It's just that leg, tsk, I'm afraid it's going to be ugly."

"Oh, what should I do about her marriage? Does the Song family want her?" Yingzi didn't dislike the big stones being dirty at this time, so she came to He and sat down.

"How can I not? Even if I have scars, it is on my legs, not on my face." He said. She stood up and walked away without any objection to Yingzi.

I didn't find Lian Duoer here, so I naturally had to continue searching. After everyone discussed and decided to go to search separately. The rural families were very enthusiastic, and many people followed him to find it. Lian Shouxin and Lian Man'er were responsible for searching from the edge of the well. A few children joined in, and Yingzi also followed.

"Duoer, where are you? Come out. Your master said it's not your business, and you won't let your parents punish you." Everyone went into the forest, searching and shouting. They startled the little snakes, frogs, toads in the grass, and even Erya found the hens that had not returned to her nest in the evening, but even Duoer didn't even have a shadow.

After leaving the woods, I walked a while and there was a large mansion in front of me, with blue brick and tile houses, pink and white walls, and a tall screen wall in front of the gate.

Lian Shouxin stopped. In front of him was the house of Wang Juren. Will Lian Duoer come here? While Lian Shouxin was hesitating, the gate of the Wang family opened and a tall and thin boy walked out of the door.

"What's this for?"
