"How did you sleep? You didn't even know that my daughter wasn't here? How could such a big living person suddenly disappear, this late at night?"
"You also said it was late at night. Where could she go? She must have slept in a corner. Have you seen it under the bed? Take a photo and see."
He was shivering because of the cold, so he casually took the cotton-padded jacket hanging by the side and put it on first. The cold touch of the cotton-padded jacket made him shiver as soon as he put his hand into the sleeve.
She only wore shorts on her lower body, and her two big white legs were bare. She didn't bother to put on pants, so she just followed the light of Lin Xiuqing's flashlight, lying on the floor and looking under the bed.
There was nothing under the bed.
"I just took the photo again and there is nothing in the house."
"Where is she in the closet? Where can she go at night?"
"No, I've rummaged through everything and looked for it, but it's not found in the house, so I took off your quilt and checked again."
Lin Xiuqing looked at him angrily, "I asked you to bring the child back to change clothes and go to bed. You just take care of yourself and sleep, and you don't care about the child anymore, right?"
"No way!" Ye Yaodong was so wronged and wronged, "I brought her back and wiped her hands and feet, put her into thin clothes, and soaked her in malted milk, and watched her lie down after drinking it.
Go down, then I lie down and sleep."
"Then is she asleep?"
"How do I know? I fell asleep as soon as I lay down. How can I wait for her to fall asleep? Who knows when he will go to sleep? I was so sleepy that I just fell asleep with my pillow on my face. It would be good if I could stay up until she finished cleaning up.
Already."
Depressed, Lin Xiuqing opened the door and went outside to see if she was hiding in any corner of the house.
Ye Yaodong also cursed and followed her out, "This stinky girl is getting more and more dishonest and naughty. If she doesn't sleep in bed properly at night, where will she go? If she finds her skin, she will peel it off.
A good beating would be too annoying."
"Let's look for him first. What's the use of saying harsh words now? You can keep your word after you find him."
"You look for it in the main room. I'll go upstairs and take a look. When I was filling her hot water at night, she climbed upstairs desperately while I wasn't paying attention. I don't know if she climbed upstairs while I was asleep.
Climb upstairs."
"She's so tormenting. I've been tired all day, and I still have to look for her in the middle of the night. I really need to give her a good beating..."
One of the couple went upstairs and the other in the main room. Each took a flashlight and shined it everywhere, trying to miss every corner. Lin Xiuqing even went to open the rice and water tanks and took a look.
Ye Yaodong also took a flashlight and looked through the three rooms upstairs. The other two rooms were still empty, with nothing in them. Only the room where the two brothers slept had a bed and a table.
When he opened the door and went in, both of them were sleeping soundly, but one's head was exposed at the end of the bed, and the other one saw no one, only the bulge under the quilt.
First he took a picture of every corner, and after finding nothing, he went to lift the quilt, gently lifting it half way first, only to see Ye Chenghu curled up in a ball under the quilt, and the side of his mouth
There is also a foot, which is licked with his mouth open from time to time.
The quilt is filled with all kinds of toys from both of them. They have everything, and they don’t feel uncomfortable.
Ye Yaodong silently covered him with the quilt again, went to the end of the bed to lift the quilt at the other end, and still lifted it half way.
I saw Ye Chengyang sleeping spread out in a big letter shape, with one foot raised on Ye Chenghu, the end of the other foot on his body was probably near Ye Chenghu's mouth, and there were all kinds of toys around his body.
Ye Xiaoxi was not seen in the bed of the two brothers. He frowned, thinking that she climbed upstairs to play with the brothers while he was asleep, and then slept here.
There was none upstairs, so he really didn't know where he had gone, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
When I didn't see it in the house, I wasn't that worried, but I was pretty sure that the child would have climbed upstairs.
Now I have to find something.
He exited quietly again, closed the door and went downstairs.
Lin Xiuqing didn't find the child in the main room. She was also looking forward to seeing if the child was upstairs, so she stood at the stairs and waited, shining her flashlight upstairs, but she saw him walking down empty-handed.
"No? You didn't sleep with your two brothers?"
"No, let's knock on grandma's door and take a look. Did you go to grandma's house and sleep with grandma? Have you checked the other room downstairs?"
"I took a look, and there was nothing inside except an empty bed and dried fish piled to the ceiling. There were no big gaps in the dried fish, so she couldn't get through even if she wanted to."
"Then go knock on grandma's door and have a look."
Before they could knock on the door, the old lady had already walked out.
"What happened? It scared me. Listening to the noise outside and upstairs and downstairs, I thought my home had been robbed."
The old lady had woken up early when she heard the noise in the main room, but she thought it was Ah Qing who had come back to sleep, or that the two brothers upstairs had gone downstairs to pee in the middle of the night.
But it wasn't until she heard the door next door being opened that she felt something was wrong and immediately got up, put on her coat and went to open the door.
I just quietly opened a small crack in the door and took a look around with my little eyes.
When she saw that there was only the light from the flashlight in the main room and no one was seen at all, and then she heard the sound of someone walking around upstairs, her heart ached.
It wasn't until she heard the couple talking quietly that she breathed a sigh of relief. She thought her home had been robbed, so she hurriedly opened the door and went out to ask.
If this were to be robbed, she might have to leave her old bones here tonight.
"Did I wake you up? I was going to knock on your door and ask if you had seen Xiaojiu? Did the child crawl to your place to sleep at night?"
"No, didn't you bring her back to sleep at night? The child is missing? You and your wife stayed up most of the night just looking for the child?"
Lin Xiuqing frowned with worry on her face, "Isn't he in your room? Then where can this child go?"
Ye Yaodong was also anxious, "If there is none, then where can she run? She is only wearing one piece of clothing. If she goes outside and sleeps in any bush or corner, she will freeze to death?"
As he spoke, he walked outside, and the two people behind him quickly followed suit and walked outside.
The old lady couldn't keep up with them and fell behind. She could only turn on the light first and then yell loudly.
First, search in the yard, under the cart, inside the basket, everywhere. Also, go outside and call to see if you have gone into the workshop. There are so many people there and the lights are on there."
"I'll go out and take a look."
"You're not wearing any pants yet. Do you want to put on a pair of pants first? Don't catch a cold. The season is changing now..."
Ye Yaodong couldn't listen at this moment. The child was gone and he was so anxious that he didn't care that he was only wearing shorts and no pants.
As he walked outside, he shouted, "Ye Xiaoxi...Ye Xiaoxi..."
At this time, as soon as he stepped out of the hospital door, there was a small yellow dog at his feet. The dog was still spinning around at his feet and barking.
"Go away and die. I don't have time to play with you."
"Woof woof woof woof..." Another little black dog ran out of the house and blocked his way. It stood in front of him and twitched its neck and kept barking.
"Go, go, don't get in the way here." Ye Yaodong dodged the two obstructing dogs and walked straight forward. As he walked, he said, "Ye Xiaoxi is missing. Please help me look for him and see where he went.
.”
"Woof woof woof woof..."
"Woof woof woof woof woof..."
The two dogs ran up to him and blocked his way. After licking his ankles, they bit his slippers.
Ye Yaodong raised his foot and kicked him angrily.
After the two dogs rolled around on the ground, they saw Lin Xiuqing coming out from behind and trotted towards her again. Then the little yellow dog bit her trouser leg and pulled back.
After Xiao Heizi barked at her two or three times, he ran two steps towards home, then ran up to her and barked at her, and continued running two steps towards home.
Lin Xiuqing was surprised, "A Dong, A Dong..."
Ye Yaodong had already walked and shouted, and walked out for several meters. When he heard her shouting, he immediately turned around and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Look at these two dogs..."
She had already followed the direction the dog pulled her and walked back into the yard. Every two steps, Little Heizi turned around and barked at her.
Ye Yaodong also noticed the abnormality, turned around quickly, trotted to catch up, and followed the two dogs.
"Is your daughter sleeping in the doghouse?"
"Ah?" Lin Xiuqing was surprised.
The old lady was still looking for her in the yard on crutches. After hearing this, she immediately went to the kennel.
Ye Yaodong is tall and has long legs. He moves quickly and has already reached the kennel first.
He knelt down and looked inside.
"How are you doing? Are you in there?" The old lady also walked closer and asked, squatting down and looking inside.
Lin Xiuqing stood behind and asked the same question.
Ye Yaodong looked at the big black dog inside and stared at him with big black eyes. He licked Ye Xiaoxi's face with his tongue and said in a helpless tone: "Yes, I found it."
When they squatted down, the little black dog ran in first and got into the kennel. The little yellow dog also released its grip on Lin Xiuqing's trousers and quickly ran into the kennel.
The two dogs were lying around Ye Xiaoxi and covering her with their tails.
All three dogs lay close to her.
There are only three dogs in the kennel today, and the others are over there in the workshop.
The old lady couldn't help but laugh, "Why did this child sleep in the kennel in the middle of the night? Didn't you bring her into the house to sleep? Why is she here?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
After Lin Xiuqing breathed a long sigh of relief, she was both angry and funny, "I looked everywhere and couldn't find anyone. I was scared to death. But I found her in the doghouse. I was really going to be pissed off by her."
Ye Yaodong relaxed and smiled after finding the person, "When she grows up, tell her that unfortunately the light at night is not good and the flashlight is not useful. Otherwise, I will take a photo with a camera and show it to her when she grows up."
"
"It's so annoying. It's so late at night. This kid really needs a beating and is about to go to bed. He actually ran out and got into the doghouse."
"No wonder those two dogs just blocked me and refused to let me go. I didn't wear any pants and my legs were bare. They could only bite my slippers. What did I think they were going to do?"
"Hurry up and take her out. How can she sleep in the kennel?"
"I had already taken off my clothes and lay on the bed, but you still managed to come out and get into the doghouse while I was sleeping. Fortunately, I didn't run outside..."
Ye Yaodong muttered about driving out the two dogs that were obstructing him in the kennel, and then carefully took Ye Xiaoxi out.
This girl is still sleeping soundly, her body is warm, and she is not cold even if she is held in her arms.
Lin Xiuqing and the old lady also hurriedly touched her little hands and feet. They were warm, warmer than both of their hands.
The old lady smiled and said, "As long as it's not too cold, just take her into the house quickly."
"I was tired all day and my back was sore. I had to look for her when I came back. After struggling all night, she ended up sleeping in the doghouse. I was really pissed off by her. Such a small amount can be so annoying.
Now, will you be able to do it when you grow up?"
Lin Xiuqing cursed as she walked.
"The two boys at home were not like her when they were young. How could they not be honest when they went to bed at night? If they were not honest, the whip would have broken them long ago, and they could still be allowed to run out?"
Ye Yaodong looked at the lights in the room, fearing that the child would be dazzled, so he hugged her into his arms, blocking her light with his chest, and helped explain.
"When we were young, our two sons had no chance at all. Our family didn't have a dog before, and you weren't so busy. You could still keep a close eye on them. How could you give them a chance to run out before going to bed?
"
"You have the nerve to say this. I don't have time to look at her. Isn't it you? You are so unreliable that you can let her run away even though she is lying next to her."
"I'm so tired. I haven't slept well in days. When I come back, I want to lie down on the bed. Who knew she was so naughty?"
The old lady quickly smoothed things over, "It's great if you find her. No need to complain. You are both busy. Let her sleep with me tomorrow and I will look after her."
"Besides, it's very late today. I turned off the lights and went to bed. I've been fussing all night." Lin Xiuqing waved her hands, her face also full of exhaustion.
The couple put the child on the bed and covered it with a quilt, then lay down relaxedly on the bed.
"You will give me a good education tomorrow."
Lin Xiuqing turned her head and glared at him, "Why don't you educate her? Didn't you just say harsh words and want to beat her so hard that your skin will be peeled off?"
"Were you worried that you couldn't find it just now? Now you've found it."
"Just forget it once you find it?"
"How can you? You still need to be educated. Otherwise, if you hide outside and go out next time, how will you find him?"
Lin Xiuqing rolled up the quilt and turned her back to him. She was too lazy to tell him. Anyway, he always talked about it, and the child still had to be taught by her.
Her back ached and she was exhausted. It was good that she had found the child anyway. At this moment, she just wanted to sleep first.
Ye Yaodong also moved forward actively, holding Wenxiang Nephrite in his arms, "Sleeping?"
"Otherwise? Weren't you just exhausted from talking about it and asked me to save your life?"
"Haha...hehe... weren't you just asleep? Then sleep, sleep, you must be very tired after being busy at this point, sleep...sleep...you have to educate your children when you wake up tomorrow..."
Lin Xiuqing closed her eyes and ignored him.
Ye Yaodong raised his head and took a peek at her expression, then lay back down and closed his eyes to sleep.
Both husband and wife were exhausted last night, and they didn't wake up until midnight the next day.
The main reason was that the surrounding neighbors had gone to work in the workshops early in the morning and the children had gone to school early in the morning. The surroundings were quiet and no one spoke, so the couple slept soundly.
Until, Ye Xiaoxi woke up and secretly ran to open the door, trying to sneak out, but the door was locked and could not be opened. She had to stand next to the bed, pinched Ye Yaodong's nose with her hands, and screamed there.
"Get up, get up, lazy pig, get up~"
The couple was woken up by her.
"My ancestors, I haven't had a good sleep for several days. I want to sleep in, but you still keep making noises."
"Open the door, I want to go out and play..."
Lin Xiuqingye also sat up, twisted her neck and tapped her shoulders, "I haven't settled the debt with you last night yet."
Ye Xiaoxi innocently looked at her with wide eyes and said, "I didn't play with water."
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that there is also an account for playing with water. Let's settle the two accounts together."
She wrinkled her face like a bun, glanced at Ye Yaodong, then at Lin Xiuqing, and then pushed Ye Yaodong's shoulders.
"Dad, wake up..."
"Don't make any noise. There's no point in calling me. You should be prepared first. You won't be able to escape after a good meal."
She hurriedly turned around and ran to the door with her bare feet, banging the door panel, "Open the door, open the door, Grandma, open the door..."
Lin Xiuqing also got up and looked for clothes to wear, yelling along with her.
After he got dressed, he took her back to bed.
Ye Xiaoxi was so frightened that she was stuck in her armpit and kept shaking her feet and hands, "Mom, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore, I don't dare to play in the water anymore... I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore...
…”
Ye Yaodong put his hands behind his head and looked at the little girl begging for mercy with a smile in his eyes.
"Why did you sleep in the doghouse last night?"
"Ah?" Ye Xiaoxi was put on the bed, turned to look at him with wide eyes, and then blinked twice.
Lin Xiuqing took the sweater and put it on her head, "Now that I've put on my clothes, I'll settle the score with you later."
"I want to play with the dog and don't want to sleep."
"Then I slept in the doghouse."
She looked at this and that, then shook her head, "Sleep with mother."
"I'm not a dog." After saying this, Lin Xiuqing went out to get a whip.
Ye Xiaoxi sat on the bed obediently and waited, thinking that her mother was going to get her pants to wear, but unexpectedly she saw a very long whip.
Her eyes widened, and she hurriedly got into bed with her hands and feet in a panic.
"Can you hide?" Lin Xiuqing lifted the quilt, and while the person was still lying there and had no time to react, she slapped her on the butt.
"It hurts~it hurts~Dad~help~" she shouted while crawling towards Ye Yaodong.
I don’t know if I’m familiar with it, it’s easier to fight when I’m lying down.
Lin Xiuqing waved the whip in her hand and kept hitting her butt, scolding her while beating her.
"You don't sleep at night, you run out, and you get into the doghouse. The whole family is scared to death by you. You still run around looking for you late at night. It's been a tiring day, and you're just looking for trouble for me."
"You're getting more and more naughty. You can't do it without spanking. If you don't spank, you won't be able to remember. You're getting more and more naughty. I'll spank you hard. Let's see if you dare to do it next time..."
"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore..."
"Hi~his~ Where are you hitting? You've already hit me..." Ye Yaodong also dodged and shouted.
I don’t know whether she did it on purpose or not. The child lay on top of him and not only hit the child, but at least one of the three times hit him.
But he was still shirtless and legsless, only wearing shorts, so he was completely naked. It really hurt when he was hit so hard.
"Who asked you to lie here without clothes? I am teaching my children..."
"How could your accuracy be so bad? You did it on purpose. Hiss...it hurts~ You hit me harder than hitting a child. You did it on purpose..."
Ye Xiaoxi kept crawling on him, so he had no choice but to hide inside with the child in his arms, and then huddled in the corner. The child also continued to crawl on him and sat in his arms.
Ye Yaodong watched as whip after whip was swung under his nose, each blow hitting his hands and Ye Xiaoxi's body, killing two birds with one stone.
"I'll do it..."
He quickly put the child down, walked to the end of the bed, and then quickly got out of bed.
"Dad...Help~Help~" Ye Xiaoxi watched with tears in his eyes as his father abandoned her and ran away.
Originally she didn't cry when she was beaten and her skin was still thick, but when she saw her father abandoning her and running away, tears instantly fell from her eyes and she screamed extremely pitifully and loudly.
"Help~Help~oooooooo~"
Lin Xiuqing also glanced at the escaping man and ignored him. It was just a matter of course. Beating the child was more important.
Ye Xiaoxi stood in the corner, like an ant on a hot pot, jumping constantly, from the left to the right corner, and then from the right to the left corner.
Lin Xiuqing just greeted her thighs and calves.
"I don't dare anymore~ I don't dare anymore~"
"Dad~Bad dad~wuwuwu~I hate you, I hate you...A Tai~A Tai~"
"Help~Help~Dad is a bad guy, a bad guy..."
She jumped up and down on the bed and shouted, crying loudly, tears falling down her face, looking at Ye Yaodong with tears in her eyes and accusing her.
Ye Yaodong started to get dressed as soon as he got out of bed. Hearing her cry and yell at him, he became depressed.
"Why are you scolding me? It's not me who beats you, it's your mother who beats you! You scolded her!"
"You bad guy, you bad guy~bad guy~oooooo~badass~"
"She hit you, but instead of scolding her, you scolded me instead?"
"You bad guy~big bad guy~"
Lin Xiuqing almost couldn't hold back her laughter while slapping her. She had to force herself to be serious, then stopped and stared at her, "Do you dare to do it again next time? Do you want to stay up late at night and go to the kennel?"
Her eyes were filled with tears and she quickly shook her head.
"If you don't behave well next time, I'll take off your pants and give you a spanking. I haven't taken off your pants yet and spanked you today."
She suddenly raised her head, closed her eyes and cried loudly, looking extremely miserable and pitiful.
Only then did Ye Yaodong turn around and act like a good guy, "That's it, it's almost done. No need to fight anymore, right?"
Lin Xiuqing gestured in front of him with her whip, which made him panic and cover his hands. Then he realized that it was a feint.
He simply grabbed her whip and threw it on the table. Then he opened his arms and shouted to Ye Xiaoxi: "Hey, dear, come here for a hug. I threw away the whip."
Ye Xiaoxi straightened his raised head and opened his eyes, but his mouth was still crying.
She looked around at the couple, then ran directly towards Lin Xiuqing and threw herself into her arms.
Ye Yaodong looked at his empty hands and became even more depressed, "No...it was obviously her who beat you, why did you still throw yourself into her arms? I was the one who saved you."
She stared with tearful eyes, flattened her mouth, cried and accused, "You bad guy!"
Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but laugh, held her on her lap and sat down, then took the pants beside the bed and put them on for her.
"Please be reasonable, I didn't hit you."
Ye Xiaoxi stretched out her little foot and shook it a few times, trying to kick him, but he took a step back.
"You stinky girl, you deserve to be beaten!"
"Bad guy!"
"Smelly girl!"
"Bad guy, you bad guy!"
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes at her and said, "Remember, next time you are beaten, don't crawl on me, don't hide from me, and don't ask me to save you."
"Hate you!"
He took the whip from the table and pretended to make a few strokes in front of her, but when he saw that she was more fierce than him, she slid down to the ground and rushed forward to beat him.
"I'm a good boy. You're quite fierce. Why did you act like a quail just now? Now you're showing off your teeth and claws."
"Hit you~"
Tears are still hanging on my face, but my breasts are fierce.
Lin Xiuqing put her coat on her body again, and she raised her head and stared at her honestly.
Ye Yaodong tapped her on the head with his whip, "Just remember, don't ask me to save you next time."
Lin Xiuqing smiled and patted him, "Hurry up and brush your teeth, wash your face, and eat. Stop teasing her here."
"A guy who doesn't know the difference between right and wrong will buy candy for his brother later and won't give it to you."
Ye Xiaoxi looked up at him with angry eyes, tears still hanging on her face, but she was no longer crying.
Ye Yaodong also touched the watch in his hand and found that it was already 8:30.
He opened the door and looked outside. The sun was shining brightly, and the sun was very dazzling. The open door and the wind blowing through were very warm.
"It's good weather again!" He stretched, "Okay, the weather is nice."
There was no movement at all except in his room. It seemed obvious that the old lady had probably gone to the workshop with the radio.
There were pickles, pickles, dried radish and dried fish on the table. When the lid was lifted, there was a small pot of porridge inside, so the family of three had not eaten yet.
That's why they beat the child for so long, but no one came to knock on the door. Ye Xiaoxi screamed and her throat was broken, but no one came to save her.
He ate quickly. After Ye Xiaoxi came out of the house, he ran to him and hit him on the back.
"So vindictive? You are so petty. Didn't it mean that when your mother beat you, I left you and hid?"
"Bad guy!"
"Be careful."
"Bad guy!"
"I won't play with you anymore. I'm done eating. I'm leaving. I'm going to play and buy some sweets for my brothers and sisters. I won't give them to you!"
Ye Yaodong dodged again. She clapped her hand, put the bowls and chopsticks on the stove and walked out.
The surroundings were quiet, with no one around, only the sound of the waves. It wasn't until I walked out for a while that I heard the bursts of noise in the workshop, as well as the sound of storytellers playing on the tape recorder.
Everyone inside was busy there, no one was idle, even Ye Chengyang was standing on tiptoes to help dry the fish.
Chapter completed!
