Lin Yao hurriedly pulled people away, and only said some words that were unclear on the way.

When they arrived at the thatched cottage, a group of government servants surrounded the thatched cottage.

When several yamen servants saw Lin Yao, they stepped forward to report the situation.

Chen Yan frowned and looked at the busy yamen servants going in and out in front of him, and looked worriedly at Li Maoshan who had been silent all the way.He raised his hand and gently held Li Maoshan's hand, giving support silently.

"Brother Li, come in with me."

After Lin Yao gave orders to the yamen servants, he turned his head and said to Li Maoshan in a deep voice.He glanced at Chen Yan who was quietly standing aside, and only invited Li Maoshan in.

"Brother Shan!"

Chen Yan worriedly stepped forward to follow up, but was stopped by Li Maoshan.

"You wait outside, I'll go in and confirm and come out."

Li Maoshan's voice was calm and unwavering, and there was no expression on his handsome face. He stopped Chen Yan who wanted to accompany him into the room, and raised his hand to gently caress his cheek.

"Don't worry." He said, and followed Lin Yao into the thatched cottage under Chen Yan's worried eyes.

Chen Yan stood quietly at the side. He glanced at the people around him who had heard the news and came to see the excitement. He heard the whispers of those people who were terrified and curious.

The thatched hut was built in a remote place, there were no other houses around, and there was nothing else in the simple courtyard except for a few stacks of firewood piled up in the corner of the courtyard.Such a simple and dilapidated house was even more cramped and desolate than the old house they used to live in.

Chen Yan's mind was blank, he didn't know what to think.It wasn't until Li Maoshan came out of the room that he had a slight reaction.

"Is it really him?"

A simple sentence is extremely heavy, especially when he saw Li Maoshan nodding silently in response, it made Chen Yan feel heavy.

The two stood facing each other, allowing the servants around them to come and go, but they couldn't disturb their heavy hearts at this time.

After a long time, Chen Yan took a step, shortening the distance between the two.

"Then how do you talk to your father about this matter?"

Chen Yan's exquisite facial features were filled with deep worry at the moment. He fixedly looked at Li Maoshan, who was also furrowed between his brows, until he asked this question that he didn't know how to speak, which broke the oppressive atmosphere between the two. .

Li Maoshan did not answer his question, but took Chen Yan's hand hanging by his side, and gently held it in his hand.

The body temperature of the two people passed each other's temperature through the holding hands, warming the heart.

"Let's go back first."

"That……"

"Master Lin is here, we just need to go back and wait for the murderer to be caught."

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Chen Yan finally closed his open mouth.He held the hands of the two tightly, and said in response: "Okay, let's go back."

Such a big living person disappeared so suddenly, even though Chen Yan always hated Li Fu, it was hard for him to accept his death just like that.

When the two returned to the shop, Agui and the others saw that they had returned empty-handed with a heavy expression on their faces, so they all thought that something had happened to Xiaobai.

"Boss, Xiaobai?"

Agui was pushed out by the crowd, he hesitated and stepped forward, asking anxiously.

Chen Yan glanced at the worried-looking crowd, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said, "Xiaobai is fine, he was taken back by his parents."

"what!"

Hearing that Xiaobai was fine, before everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they froze the relaxed smiles they had just raised because of the second half of Chen Yan's sentence.

"Will you never see him again?"

Xiao Xin is the one who has the most contact with Xiao Bai among these guys. Although he often complains that the little one always doesn't give him face and only cries, but at this moment, when he thinks that he will never see anyone again after being taken back by his parents, his heart aches. There was an uncontrollable sense of loss.

Chen Yan looked at the sluggish look of these people with some dumbfounding, so he could only explain: "Do you still remember the notice of missing people in the Yamen mentioned by a guest some time ago? Xiaobai is the young master of the county magistrate's family. If you miss him in the future , might as well go to the Yamen for a walk.”

"This……"

"Isn't it?"

"The boss really surprised us."

Everyone was shocked by the information Chen Yan threw out, and they were just happy for a while. After thinking about Xiaobai's identity, they were still a little disappointed.

"The Yamen is not so easy to enter."

"That's right, so we still won't see him."

They chattered about how to visit Xiaobai in the future, but when Chen Yan turned his head, he found that Li Maoshan had disappeared.He searched for the backyard in a panic, and found Li Maoshan who was feeding carrots to the donkey by the donkey shed.

"Brother Shan."

Chen Yan called softly, stepped forward to take the carrot in his hand and fed it to the donkey.

Li Maoshan leaned against the fence beside him, his silent appearance made Chen Yan very worried.

The two stayed quietly, only the donkey barked twice because of the joy of eating.

After a long time, Li Maoshan suddenly said, "I'll go back to the village later."

Chen Yan paused for the hand holding the carrot, and then replied nonchalantly: "Okay, be careful on the way, remember to come back early."

Li Maoshan responded, and suddenly grabbed Chen Yan's hand, wrapping him in his arms.He leaned his chin on Chen Yan's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "I know you don't like him, but he's gone, but I can't let this matter go."

"I know."

"I'll go back to the village later, if..."

"I don't need you to worry here. But you, if your stepmother blames you, don't let him beat and scold you foolishly."

"it is good."

Ping'an Village, Li's family.

Li Maoshui was sweeping the yard with a broom, sweeping from the east wall to the west wall little by little, but a big tail followed behind him all the time.

As soon as he turned around, he angrily took the broom and kicked the opponent hard.

"Ouch."

"Brother Xiao Cong, if you're really that bored, go find some work."

This has been with him for how long, and Li Maoshui, who has always been a good-tempered person, couldn't help but frown at him coldly.In fact, there has been someone following behind these days, the kind of person who follows you wherever you do, but it is a familiar person, which makes him feel suffocated and unable to vomit.

Cheng Cong hugged his feet that had been swept off his shoes, and he didn't care about the dust on the shoes, so he gave up some seats with a sneer.

Li Maoshui couldn't understand his thoughts, and went over to Cheng Cong to continue sweeping the floor.

"Ah Shui." Seeing people and ignoring him, Cheng Cong rushed to please Li Maoshui, "Come on, let me sweep the floor for you."

"No need." Li Maoshui bluntly refused.

Cheng Cong said unhappily: "Didn't you say that you want me to find some work, so I can help you sweep the floor?"

"You can help Uncle Cheng with work." Li Mao said without raising his head.

The courtyard is cleaned every day, it is not dirty, and it is cleaned quickly.

Seeing that he had finished sweeping the floor and brought out some green vegetables to choose yellow leaves, Cheng Cong immediately moved over slowly, took a small stool and sat beside Li Maoshui.

He said cautiously: "Ah Shui, how does Brother Xiao Cong treat you?"

Li Maoshui gave him some vegetables, "Since you are so free, help me choose vegetables."

"Oh!" Cheng Cong glanced at the large handful of vegetables placed on his lap, and picked out the leaves obediently.It's just that Li Maoshui didn't answer his question just now, so he stopped and asked again: "How is brother treating you?"

Li Maoshui stopped what he was doing, tilted his head to look at him, and asked doubtfully, "What exactly do you want to ask?"

Cheng Cong pondered for a while, and asked under Li Maoshui's impatient gaze, "I heard that a matchmaker came here yesterday?"

Li Maoshui thought he had some questions, and when he heard that he was asking about it, he nodded directly, and replied: "Yes."

"To protect the media?"

"Otherwise." Li Maoshui glared at him angrily.

Cheng Cong suddenly laughed a little awkwardly, and said with emotion: "Our brother Shui has grown up, and he can reach the age of marriage!" He joked, but felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Li Maoshui ignored his teasing words, moved his hands, and picked all the vegetables in a short while.

He stood up and patted the dust on his body. When he saw Cheng Cong looking up at him, he suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth and parted his thin lips slightly: "Then the matchmaker is here to protect the matchmaker for the second brother."

After speaking, regardless of Cheng Cong's dull expression, he picked up the vegetable basket and entered the room with a slight smile.

Cheng Cong looked at his back stupidly, knowing that he couldn't see anyone, so he muttered: "So it's for Li Fu to protect the matchmaker..."

Li Maoshan drove the donkey cart all the way back to the village, and when he got off at the gate of the courtyard, he saw Cheng Cong sitting alone in the courtyard of his house.

I don't know what this man was thinking stupidly, until Li Maoshan stood in front of him, he still didn't come back to his senses.

"Why are you at my house, kid?"

Li Maoshan raised his foot and kicked him.

Cheng Cong, whose thoughts were interrupted by someone, was a little angry. He raised his head to see the person, changed his words, and asked with a smile, "Brother Dashan, why are you free to come back today? Is the store busy? If If you are short of manpower, just call me..."

Hearing him chattering non-stop in his ear, Li Maoshan immediately regretted asking him.

"I don't need you."

"Hey, hey, don't rush into the house." Cheng Cong saw that he was impatient to listen to himself, and he was not angry. Instead, he pulled Li Maoshan and whispered: "I have a big gossip to tell you. , do you want to hear it?"

Li Maoshan patted his restless hand away, and refused bluntly: "I don't want to hear it."

Cheng Cong: "..."

The gossip that came out of the mouth was rejected by Li Maoshan, and it was not true, and it was not true if he did not say it.

Feeling very impatient, he stopped Li Maoshan again, "Ah Shui is alone at home, if you are not in a hurry, listen to me tell you a gossip, it has something to do with Weiping!"

"I'll talk about your gossip later, I have something to do now."

"What's the matter?" Cheng Cong looked at him suspiciously, "Uncle Li went to the field, your stepmother took your younger brother to the county town, don't bother Ah Shui if you have something to do! At worst, I'll be at a disadvantage and help you .”
