1952: Walking through Nantongluo Alley

Chapter 45 He Yuping is safe and sound

Chen Xiao came to the window of Sha Zhu's house.

The window was wide open, and there was a small bench inside.

If he really was a human trafficker, he lived next to Sha Zhu's house and it was impossible that he didn't hear any noise.

Unless, it was not the human traffickers who did it, but He Yushui ran away on his own.

After all, what kind of child would bring a stool, open the window and jump into the arms of a human trafficker, unless the child is a fool.

Of course, Chen Xiao had watched the TV series and knew that He Yushui was not a fool, but was quite scheming.

He came to Shazhu and said.

"Shazhu, let's go out and look for her. He Yushui wasn't abducted by human traffickers. She ran away on her own."

"I guess she saw you just went out to buy her some meat buns, and since you were taking so long to come back, she went out to look for you."

After hearing this, a glimmer of hope ignited in Sha Zhu's heart.

She raised her head and looked at Chen Xiao with tears in her eyes.

"Really, Brother Chen Xiao?"

Chen Xiao nodded.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly.

"Are you so sure that He Yushui escaped on his own and wasn't captured by human traffickers?"

Having just been scolded by Chen Xiao during the day, Yi Zhonghai naturally would not miss the opportunity to criticize him.

Chen Xiao rolled his eyes at him and was too lazy to even pay attention to him at this moment.

"If you keep on dawdling, it'll be dawn soon. Instead of bragging and talking nonsense, you might as well go out and find He Yushui!"

Liu Haizhong echoed from the side.

"Chen Xiao is right. Let's go out and find rainwater now."

"The rainwater is young, so it shouldn't get far now."

"Yes, everyone, let's go out and look for him! We can't waste any more time. It's so dark and rainy outside. If a little child really meets a human trafficker, it will be all over!" Yan Bugui said.

After Yan Bugui finished speaking, a large group of people ran out of the courtyard in a hurry.

Leaving Yi Zhonghai alone and disheveled in the wind.

He clenched his fists and spoke through gritted teeth.

"Chen Xiao! Just wait!"

After saying these harsh words, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly ran out with everyone else.

A large group of people walked out of the alley and came to the Old Drum Tower Street.

There were no pedestrians on the street at this time, only a few shops were still open, and the dim lights still could not illuminate the dim street.

A group of people blocked the road in the middle and walked forward while shouting Yu Shui's name.

Among the group, Shazhu ran the fastest. He ran desperately while shouting Yu Shui's name.

After running for most of the Old Drum Tower Street, Sha Zhu slowly stopped.

At this time, a little girl was squatting in front of a bun shop that had long been closed and sobbing.

"Brother, wuwu...Brother, where are you? The rain can't find you, wuwu..."

"rainwater!"

With the help of the moonlight, Sha Zhu recognized the somewhat blurry outline.

"Brother!" Yu Shui stood up excitedly, and then ran towards Sha Zhu while crying.

When Sha Zhu picked up Yu Shui, Yu Shui lay directly in Sha Zhu's arms and cried loudly again.

But this time she didn't shed any tears. Instead, her tears had already dried up, and even her voice was a little hoarse.

"I knew it, I knew my brother would need more rain."

"Wuwu...Brother, Yushui will never ask you for meat buns again."

At this time, Liu Haizhong, Chen Xiao and others also followed.

Seeing Sha Zhu and He Yu Shui hugging each other, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Haizhong stepped forward, puffing his beard and glaring at Sha Zhu and said.

"Silly Zhu, I'm telling you, it's not okay to educate your children like this."

"He needs a good beating, or he won't learn his lesson next time."

He Yushui hugged Sha Zhu tightly, obviously a little scared after hearing Liu Haizhong's words.

Liu Haizhong is famous for his good temper in the courtyard, and almost all the children are afraid of him.

Sha Zhu patted He Yushui on the back, then looked at Liu Haizhong with a smile.

"Second uncle, it's the nature of children to be naughty. How can you use violence over the smallest of things?"

"Shazhu, you can't do this..." Liu Haizhong shook his head.

"Okay, okay, now that the rain has been found, let's go back quickly. It's getting late."

Yi Zhonghai said from the side.

Looking at He Yushui who had already fallen asleep in Sha Zhu's arms, Yi Zhonghai was thoughtful.

After returning to his hometown, Yi Zhonghai sat on a chair with an enamel cup in his hand, wondering what he was thinking.

An old lady brought a coat and put it on Yi Zhonghai.

"Old man, I heard that Yu Shui got lost just now?"

"Old man?"

Seeing Yi Zhonghai in a daze, the aunt pushed him twice again.

Only then did Yi Zhonghai come to his senses.

"Ah? What's wrong?"

The old lady rolled her eyes at Yi Zhonghai and repeated.

"I heard that Yu Shui just disappeared?"

"I've found him. It was Shazhu who went out to buy buns for Yushui. Yushui was worried so she went out to look for Shazhu."

"It's good that you found it." The old lady breathed a sigh of relief.

"I have an idea, and I've been hesitating whether to say it out loud." Yi Zhonghai said hesitantly.

"What do you think? Just tell me what you want to say."

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was keeping it a secret, the auntie became obviously anxious and pushed his shoulder again.

"It's not easy for Shazhu to take care of his sister Yushui alone. I was thinking, should I talk to Shazhu some other day and ask him to pick up Yushui from school in the future? If Shazhu is not at home or comes home late at night, we can also pick her up and have dinner at our house."

"What? Babysit Shazhu's kids for free?"

The aunt was a little unhappy and frowned slightly.

"Shazhu just kicked you the day before yesterday, why don't you hold a grudge?"

"There's no way I'd agree to this."

Yi Zhonghai rolled his eyes at the aunt.

"Why don't you understand? Come here and I'll explain it to you in detail."

An old lady leaned close to Yi Zhonghai and listened impatiently.

They are an old married couple, why can't they just say it openly? Why do they have to whisper like this?

Yi Zhonghai whispered in the ear of an old lady.

Then, the old lady who was a little impatient at first relaxed her expression and even covered her mouth and laughed when she heard the end.

"Old man, do you think this can succeed? I'm afraid Sha Zhu will definitely disagree."

Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly.
