When Zhao Liu'er stumbled into the gate of Lao Luo's house, Luo Fengtang was clearing the table, and Yang Ruoqing brought a large plate of braised fish to the table.

Seeing Zhao Liuer running in in panic, Yang Ruoqing quickly put the fish plate in her hand on the table and turned around to greet her in the yard.

"Third sister-in-law, why are you looking like this? What happened?" Yang Ruoqing helped Zhao Liu'er and asked.

The first thought that flashed through my mind was: Could something have gone wrong with little Niuniu?

"Your third brother, your third brother..."

She ran too fast, and Zhao Liuer's cardiopulmonary function could not keep up. She suddenly stopped again. Her face turned red, she gasped for air, and her back bent.

"Don't panic, don't panic, come in and talk."

Yang Ruoqing helped Zhao Liu'er walk toward the main room, trying to ease her physical discomfort through this walk.

And another guess about the third brother flashed through his mind. Could it be that on the way to the Qingshui Town Medical Center, the third brother was driving in a hurry and the carriage had an accident?

"Qing'er, I'm feeling better, so I won't go in. I'll tell you here." Zhao Liu'er stopped at the door of the main room, panting while stroking his chest.

Yang Ruoqing looked at her, her heart clenched.

"Just now your third brother came back from town and brought back bad news. Xiu'er, Xiu'er's child, child, the child is gone..."

"What?"

Yang Ruoqing took a breath of cold air, and her mind went blank for a moment.

"Snapped!"

It was the shattering sound of a teacup falling to the ground.

Yang Ruoqing came back to her senses and saw her aunt Wang Cuilian standing behind the two of them with a shocked look on her face.

She stretched out her hands, still holding the tea bowl.

"Aunt, you go back to the house first, let them eat first, I have to go to my parents' house." Yang Ruoqing suppressed her shock and complicated mood, turned around and said to Wang Cuilian.

Wang Cuilian pursed her lips, as if she wanted to ask something, but seeing Zhao Liuer's look on the verge of collapse, she hesitated again.

"Auntie, I'm going to go over and see what's going on first, and we'll talk about it when I come back," Yang Ruoqing said again.

Wang Cuilian nodded, turned back to the main room, and went to get a broom and dustpan to clean up the tea bowl fragments on the floor.

"Third sister-in-law, let's go to my parents' house first." Yang Ruoqing pulled Zhao Liu'er out of the courtyard again.

"Your third brother came back from town earlier and brought back this bad news. My grandma fainted at that time, and I almost couldn't bear it anymore." Zhao Liu'er said to Yang Ruoqing on the way.

"The fourth uncle is not at home, and the sister-in-law is ill. Your third brother has gone to see a doctor for me. Now, only your little cousin is with grandma. I sent me to call the third uncle and the three aunts over. I

I went to Third Uncle's house earlier and the door was unlocked, but there was no sign of Third Uncle or Three Aunts, not even Xiao Duo and Feng'er. I had no choice but to come and call you because I didn't bother to look for you." Zhao Liu'er explained again.

road.

Yang Ruoqing said: "My father should be at the fifth uncle's place. Duo'er took Feng'er to my uncle's house for lunch. My mother was not well when she came back yesterday. She must be sleeping in the backyard. Third sister-in-law, let's go to the fifth uncle's house first.

My uncle's family is looking for my father and fifth uncle, they probably don't know about this yet."

The two of them rushed to Yang Huazhou's house not far across the road and found that Yang Huazhou's house was having lunch, and Yang Huazhong was also there.

Yang Huazhou poured the wine he brought back from the restaurant in Qing'an County to Yang Huazhong. It was rare for the two brothers to sit down and drink two cups face to face. However, Yang Ruoqing and Zhao Liuer suddenly broke in and disrupted the situation.

"Dad, fifth uncle, third brother came back from town alone, Xiu'er... Xiu'er is gone."

Yang Ruoqing went straight to the point when she entered the room.

The wine cup in Yang Huazhong's hand fell to the table. He stood up and rushed out of the house.

As soon as he rushed into the yard, he suddenly stopped. He turned around and looked at Yang Ruoqing and the others who had followed them out of the hall door with a confused look on his face. He stumbled and asked, "Should I go to the hospital or the old house?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "Dad, the old house is in a state of chaos now. My mother has fainted and my father is not in good condition either."

"Then go to the old house first!" After saying these words, Yang Huazhong rushed towards the village like a gust of wind, and Yang Ruoqing and the others hurriedly chased after him.

It was lunch time at this time, and it was the time when the autumn tiger showed its power.

Most of the villagers ate at home, took a nap after the meal, and waited until the sun moved a little westward and became less fierce before going out to work.

So we met only a few people along the way. Seeing Lao Yang's family running towards the old house in such a hurry, the villagers quickly moved to the side of the road.

There are also enthusiastic people or people who want to inquire with Yang Huazhou, but how can Yang Huazhou bother to respond? His heart has already flown to Lao Yang's house.

When everyone was approaching Lao Yang's door, Yang Ruoqing saw a familiar figure in front of them, also hurrying towards Lao Yang's house.

"Tang Yazi!" Yang Ruoqing shouted towards the man's back. When he turned around, it turned out to be Luo Fengtang.

Yang Ruoqing asked Zhao Liuer and the others to go in first, while she ran to Luo Fengtang, pulled him into the alley next to Lao Yang's house, and asked in surprise: "Didn't I let you eat at home? Why are you here too?"

He is a person who lives an extremely regular life. Regardless of whether it is cold or summer, he will get up at any time to practice martial arts and swordsmanship for an hour.

After a short rest, I had breakfast, which was also very light.

In the morning, he helped Blacksmith Luo take care of the fish pond and caught fish. After returning home, he was also very busy. A big man consumes a lot, so he must be hungry by lunch time.

"Hurry up and go home for dinner." Yang Ruoqing gave the order domineeringly without saying a word.

A trace of warmth flashed across Luo Fengtang's eyes, which was soon replaced by anxiety.

"I know you mean well, but how can I still think about eating at this moment? Let's go in together to see what's going on." Luo Fengtang said, and then took her hand and walked into the alley.

There is a side door in the alley that leads to the backyard of old Yang's family. Many years ago, my father-in-law's family lived in this backyard. At that time, when he sent Qing'er back, he always sent her to the entrance of the alley, and then watched her enter the side door before he left with confidence.

.

Yang Ruoqing looked at his broad shoulders and upright back walking in front, and felt the temperature in his palms. Her anxious mood calmed down a little inexplicably. The rest was her regret and intolerance for Xiu'er...

East room.

Grief, heaviness, regret, anger, all the complex emotions emanating from everyone condensed into an invisible net, covering the east room, making everyone who walked into the east room feel like they were about to suffocate.

I feel like I can't help crying.

Old Yangtou sat blankly on the ground in front of the bed, with tears streaming down his sallow old face. His lips hidden under his gray beard were trembling, but no sound came out. His eyes were cloudy, like a dark abyss, filled with
