Chapter 12 Dog Tooth Rain/Golden Rain 8
People from Cheng's compound were coming in and out looking for them.No one saw them walking out of the compound, and they all thought they were in the courtyard, so when they started searching, no one was in a hurry, and when they searched every corner of the room and found no sign of them, they panicked: It rained heavily this day, where did the two of them go? They ran into the rainy field one after another, calling out in the alley: "Qin'er!——" They also called Du Yuanchao along the way, and everyone felt that at this moment, Caiqin will definitely be with Du Yuanchao.Fan Yanhu sent someone to the field to see if the two children would be by Du Shaoyan's side, but Du Shaoyan said that he had never seen the two children come to the field at all.Suddenly thinking of Qiu Zidong, someone immediately went to Qiu Zidong's house, and Qiu Zidong said: "I
I know where they are!" After leading the people, he ran to the back of the town, climbed up the big haystack, and pointed to a distant place: "There they ran. "
When everyone heard this, they were a little scared, because there was a big river in that direction.People in this area are most worried about children drowning, so amidst the shouts, people ran towards the direction Qiu Zidong pointed.
When several people from Cheng's compound found Du Yuanchao and Caiqin, they were sound asleep.Because it was a little cold, in the dream, the two children forgot that they were in the field, and thought they were on the same bed, but they were naked and hugged each other sweetly.
Aunt Bing and the others took Caiqin home, changed clothes for Caiqin, and let her go to sleep, then they all came to the main room, where Cheng Yaotian and his wife were already sitting on the chairs, their faces were cold.
Mrs. Bing described what she saw in detail, and she was quite angry.
But Fan Yanhu said, "You're being serious, it's not exactly like that."
Mrs. Bing kept her body still: "How do you say it's heavy? It's like this! If you don't believe me, ask them how many!"
A few people next to him were about to talk, Cheng Yaotian waved his hand: "You all go."
At the same time, Du Yuanchao was in a small hut watching windmills at the end of the field.He was brought here by Du Shaoyan.
In the evening of the same day, Fan Yanhu sent someone to call Du Shaoyan and said, "From today onwards, you father and son will no longer live in the Cheng family compound.
The master said that there are two thatched huts behind the village, which were originally used for cattle in winter, and now they belong to you.There is a piece of land next to the wild windmill. The land is not good, but it is still land, and it can grow crops. The master said, you are honest, you work for the Cheng family, and you have never spared no effort. hungry.Here, your wages have also been calculated, and the master asked me to calculate more. "Speaking, he pushed the money on the table to Du Shaoyan.
Du Shaoyan bent over: "Master is kind, I will remember him for the rest of my life."
Fan Yanhu lightly clasped his fists, bent slightly, turned and left without saying a word.
Someone had already packed Du Shaoyan and his son's things in two bamboo baskets, and now they carried them out and put them outside the door.
Du Shaoyan stood stiffly for a while, then turned around, walked out the door, and picked up two bamboo baskets.
Outside the courtyard gate, Du Yuanchao was sheltering from the rain, and it was strange to see Du Shaoyan pick out two bamboo baskets filled with their belongings.
Without saying a word, Du Shaoyan walked over, took Du Yuanchao's hand, and continued walking.
Du Yuanchao struggled slightly, turned his head and looked at the Cheng family compound.
When he reached the town, Du Yuanchao asked, "Where are we going?"
Du Shaoyan didn't answer, but held his son's hand tightly.
"Why are we leaving?"
Du Shaoyan's strides became bigger and bigger.
"Why are we leaving?"
Du Shaoyan let go of Du Yuanchao, and then, he swung his thick, big hand and slapped his son's face.
Du Yuanchao's eyes were full of gold stars, and he almost fell down.He looked at his father, his eyes filled with tears, and asked louder: "Why are we leaving?"
Du Shaoyan put down the bamboo basket, swung his arms round, and then a heavier slap resounded through the alley in the rain.
Du Yuanchao's vision was dim, and he fell backwards until he landed on a high and steep river ridge.Du Yuanchao rolled rapidly down the river ridge, and finally rolled into the big river, causing a big ball of water splash.He choked on a few mouthfuls of water, grabbed the grass on the bank, struggled for a while, and then climbed out of the water to the shore.
He whimpered and cried: "I... why do we... have to leave?!"
Since then, this articulate child has stuttering problems.
Standing on the bank, Du Shaoyan watched his son crawl towards the bank dripping with water like a dog in water, his eyes were blurred, as if there was thick and thick fog in front of him.
Under half a round of setting sun, the golden rain began to become weaker and weaker...
