When he returned home in the evening, Mr. Qin's mood had returned to normal. When he handed the rabbit that Rhubarb had hunted to Mrs. Miao, he praised the rhubarb with a smile and asked Mrs. Miao to cut it in half for the rhubarb to eat.

Qin Shan and others felt relieved and quietly pulled Qin Xiaoxiao into the room and asked her what Mr. Qin had done and what he said.

Qin Xiaoxiao said everything and didn't feel anything was wrong.

After Qin Shan and others listened, they found nothing wrong. Mr. Qin would usually teach a few children in this way. In short, everything seemed normal. It seemed that it was just like what Mr. Qin said. He just remembered some things in his early years.

happy.

During dinner, Mrs. Miao inevitably muttered a few words when Zhao Xiuxiu came back without seeing her, and asked Mr. Qin if he had seen her in Huaqing Garden.

Mr. Qin was picking up vegetables for dinner with his usual expression: "I've never seen her before, so I don't care about her."

Mrs. Miao was afraid that if she continued talking she would make Mr. Qin unhappy, so she didn't mention Zhao Xiuxiu again. She went to the stove and took a clean bowl, leaving a separate portion of food to warm in the pot.

But Zhao Xiuxiu was destined to have no chance to eat this meal.

There was a precedent of staying out at night, so the Qin family did not find it strange that they did not see Zhao Xiuxiu back before going to bed. Except for Mrs. Miao, the entire Qin family had already regarded Zhao Xiuxiu as a stranger.

Hollow Man.

If one day Zhao Xiuxiu never returns to the Qin family, they will breathe a sigh of relief. They won't have to worry all the time that she will harm Qin Xiaoxiao or use her precognitive ability to cause big trouble for the Qin family.

In the next two days, Zhao Xiuxiu was still missing. Not only Mrs. Miao was panicked, but others were also very uneasy. She didn't want to see Zhao Xiuxiu again, but she wasn't sure whether she had done anything to the Qin family or Qin Xiaoxiao.

Before something bad happened, they didn't want anything to happen to Zhao Xiuxiu.

So, when Jingheng came to see Qin Xiaoxiao on the morning of the third day, Mrs. Miao couldn't help but ask him if he had seen Zhao Xiuxiu.

"Grandma Qin, I've never seen her." Jing Heng opened his eyes and told lies, and specifically asked Rock, Paper, Scissors: "Have you ever seen Grandma Qin's nieces and granddaughters?"

Rock, Paper, Scissors shook their heads in unison, saying they had never seen it before.

Just when Mrs. Miao was anxious and wanted to tell Mr. Qin that she wanted to find someone, Shitou hesitated and suddenly said: "On the day Miss Zhao disappeared, the Sun family also left Zhuangzi and has not returned yet. This is too strange."

Jing Heng pretended to be surprised and asked: "Why didn't you report such a big thing earlier?"

Shitou knelt down on one knee and apologized to Jingheng: "Master, all affairs in Zhuangzi are handled by Manager Sun. I thought it was the Master who ordered their family to go out, so..."

Jing Heng seemed to "realize" something was wrong and immediately ordered Shitou: "Take someone to search the Sun family's house to see if they were runaway slaves!"

Shitou took the order and left Qin's house in a hurry.

Except for Mr. Qin, everyone else looked at Jing Heng in confusion: Didn't they talk about the disappearance of Zhao Xiuxiu? Why did they pull out that Manager Sun of Huaqingyuan dragged his family and his family into runaway slaves?

At this time, Qin Shan and others did not connect the Sun family as "escaped slaves" with the disappearance of Zhao Xiuxiu. They felt that Sun Guanshi's family had some tricks up their sleeves and had stayed peacefully in Huaqingyuan for more than ten years without running away.

, but he ran away when his master came to stay for a while. I don’t know what would happen if he was caught.

About three moments later, Shitou came to Qin's house with three guards and told Jingheng that the Sun family had taken away all the valuables, including several valuable items from the Bieyuan's warehouse.

Obviously, the Sun family not only became runaway slaves, but also committed the crime of theft!

After Shitou finished speaking, one of the three guards he brought said: "On the morning of the Sun family's escape, Miss Zhao came to Bieyuan. Not long after she left, the Sun family drove away in a carriage."

Upon hearing this, the Qin family's expressions changed.

"Mr. Jing, is it possible, is there a misunderstanding?" Mrs. Miao was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She didn't believe that Zhao Xiuxiu had run away with the Sun family: "My family has never treated Xiuxiu harshly in these years. There is no reason for her to follow Sun.

The steward’s family ran away!”

The Qin family looked at each other. They didn't believe that Zhao Xiuxiu would be stupid enough to go with the Sun family, unless...unless she did something shameful with the Sun family and had to escape with the Sun family!

Thinking of the fact that Zhao Xiuxiu got close to Steward Sun and his family a few years ago and stayed overnight in Bieyuan. If she had been coaxed by Steward Sun and his family, it would not be impossible that she had revealed her precognitive ability to Steward Sun.

If Steward Sun had evil intentions and used her precognitive ability to do something shady, it would explain why Steward Sun and his family wanted to become runaway slaves, and I am afraid that their deeds would no longer be sustainable.

"Grandma Qin, don't worry, I'll have someone check it out first." Jing Heng comforted Mrs. Miao, and then gave an order to Shitou and others: "Search the Sun family's whereabouts along the way and find them first!"

Shitou and others took the order and retreated, pretending to go out to find someone.

Setting up a gambling parlor privately for loan sharking and harming dozens of lives was a serious crime. Although Jingheng’s family had the ability to smooth over the matter, it didn’t sound good after all. Now they can only do it to the Sun family and his son.

The matter was tightly covered.

As for Zhao Xiuxiu... her guilt in helping the Sun family and his son to frame the Shao family is small. Once word of her precognitive ability spreads, it will definitely cause shock to all parties. No one knows whether the consequences will be good or bad.

The only thing that is certain is that people with evil intentions and bad conduct like Zhao Xiuxiu must not be allowed to gain power, otherwise countless people will be harmed by her.

It is not difficult for Zhao Xiuxiu to disappear quietly in front of people, but what is difficult is to prevent the Qin family from being disturbed and criticized after disappearing. This is why Jing Heng sang this play today.

As the Qin family waited anxiously, another three days passed. During this period, Zhao Xiuxiu's long absence also attracted the attention of the villagers, and people often came to inquire about where Zhao Xiuxiu had gone.

Faced with the villagers' inquiries, the Qin family could handle it at first, but it was true that Zhao Xiuxiu had not seen anyone for several days. Soon there were rumors in the village that the Qin family knew something from Zhao Xiuxiu's precognitive ability.

It was a huge event, and they were afraid that the news would be leaked, so they hid Zhao Xiuxiu from anyone.

Zhao Xiuxiu's ability to predict has made her a special being in Qingshan Village. Even after the riot in the grain depot, she did not use this ability to bring any benefits to the villagers. The villagers also hope that she can stay in the village well, maybe

One day I will benefit from her ability to predict.

Now the Qin family actually hid Zhao Xiuxiu, and the village exploded. Even the village chief couldn't sit still, and hurriedly found Mr. Qin and asked him to tell him the whereabouts of Zhao Xiuxiu.

It was at this time that Jing Heng came to Qin's house again with Rock Paper Scissors. Not only did he tell the village chief that Zhao Xiuxiu recognized Manager Sun as his godfather, he also said that Manager Sun had been making false accounts for many years.

Tan Mo's family transferred some silver, but after being noticed by the people in Bieyuan, he committed the crime of theft and became a fugitive slave, escaping with Zhao Xiuxiu.

The village chief knew that Jingheng's identity was not simple and thought that he would not frame more than a dozen escaped slaves. After carefully asking a few questions, he was convinced that Zhao Xiuxiu had really escaped with the Sun family.

Won't be back.

This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the village chief who only wants to benefit the village.

Within an hour, news spread throughout Qingshan Village that Zhao Xiuxiu had accepted the slave as his godfather and ran away with the criminal slave's godfather.

For a while, everyone in the village was talking about everything, most of them guessing that the Sun family knew about Zhao Xiuxiu's precognitive ability, so they tried their best to trick the eight-year-old Zhao Xiuxiu away.

Although it was difficult for the villagers to accept Zhao Xiuxiu's departure, they still had to live their lives and gradually let go of the matter. However, every time they saw Mr. Qin, they did not dare to mention Zhao Xiuxiu for fear of Mr. Qin.

Can't accept it.

Not only the people in the village thought so, but the Qin family was also worried about Mr. Qin. Even though Mr. Qin seemed like everything was normal and he didn't seem to be sad about Zhao Xiuxiu's departure, they thought that Mr. Qin was unwilling to show his fragile side.

In comparison, Qin Xiaoxiao was much more heartless. On the day she found out that Zhao Xiuxiu had run away with someone, she felt a little uncomfortable, and then comforted Mr. Qin and Mrs. Miao, saying that they should do whatever they wanted.

Already.

It was the end of February in the blink of an eye. With Jingheng's company every day, Qin Xiaoxiao became more and more fond of sticking to him. Sometimes Jingheng was delayed by something and came a little late, and she refused to go to play first and had to stay at home.

Wait for someone at the door.

The little girl forgot that Jingheng only came to Huaqingyuan for a short stay, and thought that Jingheng would stay with her for a long time like her parents, so when Jingheng told her that he would leave here and return to the capital in three days,

She was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears: "Why are you leaving? I don't want Brother Li to leave, wuwu~"

"Aren't you ashamed to cry at such an old age?" Seeing that the little girl was reluctant to let go of him, Jingheng was both happy and reluctant to let go. He took the handkerchief Shitou handed over and wiped Qin Xiaoxiao's tears with disgust, his movements unexpectedly careful.

"Woo, no shame, it was Brother Li who made me cry. Brother Li is so embarrassed, wu wu~" Qin Xiaoxiao let Jingheng wipe her tears, but the tears still fell down.

"Stop crying. Apart from crying and talking back, what else do you think you can do?" Jing Heng didn't know how to coax people. Faced with Qin Xiaoxiao's tears, he really had no choice but to tease her to make her forget to cry.

"I, I can also act coquettishly, hiccup~" Qin Xiaoxiao hiccupped and threw herself into Jingheng's arms: "Brother Li, please don't leave, okay? I just like Brother Li, and Brother Li is gone.

I can’t eat well, and I can’t sleep well. Every time I open my eyes, I think about Brother Li. It’s so pitiful~”

Even the adults couldn't bear these straightforward words, let alone Jingheng who was reluctant to leave in the first place. He looked down at Qin Xiaoxiao's tear-stained face and said in a soft voice: "Brother Li's home is here

I’m in the capital, and my mother is also in the capital, so I can’t stay here with you for a long time.”

Qin Xiaoxiao was not an unreasonable child. She felt embarrassed when she thought that Brother Li had been playing with her here for a long time without accompanying her mother, but she really couldn't bear to leave Brother Li.

The little girl struggled for a while and asked anxiously: "Then, will Brother Li come back?"

Jingheng pinched her little face happily and nodded heavily: "Come back, Brother Li will come back to see you!"

Qin Xiaoxiao felt a little happier and asked again: "How long will it take for Brother Li to come back? Will it take longer than the eldest brother and the second brother?"

Jingheng thought for a moment and did not dare to tell the little girl too specifically: "Brother Li can come visit you every time after the festival."

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know how many festivals there were throughout the year. Hearing what Jing Heng said, he subconsciously thought there were many, so he said happily: "Brother Li must remember it. I won't go anywhere after the festival. I will just wait at home for Brother Li to come~

"

Seeing her smile, Jing Heng also revealed two deep dimples: "You also have to remember what you said. If Brother Li comes and can't see you... hum!"

Qin Xiaoxiao said hurriedly: "You can see it, you can see it, but if you can't see it, I am just a puppy!"

At this moment, the little girl completely forgot that she had been a puppy many times in the more than a month she had been with Brother Li.

Jing Heng obviously thought of this and rubbed the little girl's head without saying anything, lest the little girl get angry with him again.

After accepting the fact that Jing Heng would leave in three days, Qin Xiaoxiao felt less uncomfortable and continued to play around with Jing Heng as before.

The Qin family also knew that Jingheng was leaving, so they wanted to give him something as a thank you gift.

These days, it seems that Jingheng is disturbing the Qin family, but in fact, the Qin family receives a lot of things from him. Not to mention anything else, all the food that Qin Xiaoxiao eats every day is all brought by Jingheng from the capital.

The chef makes it fresh every day.

Qin Xiaoxiao, a small person, could not eat much no matter how much he could eat, and the rest would fall into the stomachs of the Qin family. To Jingheng, this little bit of food was nothing, but the Qin family had to remember this

Good portion.

However, given Jingheng's background and having everything he needed in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, they didn't know what to give him after much deliberation.

"Send kittens and cats!" After Qin Xiaoxiao learned about the adults' worries, he suddenly thought of a good idea: "The cats are afraid of Brother Li, and no cat is willing to play with Brother Li. Brother Li is so pitiful."

~"

Mr. Qin thought of how the cats in the village became like mice when they saw Jing Heng. He couldn't help but shook his head: "Mr. Jing probably doesn't like cats, so let's find something else!"

Qin Xiaoxiao said doubtfully: "Grandpa, Brother Li didn't say he didn't like cats. Brother Li is coming tomorrow. Let me ask Brother Li first if he is okay?"

Jing Heng did not say that he didn't like cats. Mr. Qin thought it was okay to ask, so he agreed: "If Mr. Jing says he doesn't like cats, don't talk about sending cats."

"Yeah, got it!"

In the evening, the Qin family was having dinner in the main room, and Chubby walked in generously holding a black furry dumpling in his mouth.

The light was too dark, so everyone didn't see clearly what the fur dumplings were, and thought that what Chubby was holding was prey. It wasn't until Chubby put the fur dumplings on the ground, and they clearly heard a thin and soft "meowing" sound, that they knew it was a prey.

A little black raccoon boy who doesn't know if there is a full moon.
