Chapter 46: The Fugitive
"What's going on?"
Zhang San didn't even care about the pavilion chief behind him, and ran in in a panic, "Why did this girl Xiaoqing get into a fight with Xiaosi?"
If you were to ask in Ye Pier whose children are the most obedient and sensible, it would definitely be the Lu family.
And the best-behaved among the children of the Lu family can only be the Lu family's elder, Lu Xiaoqing.
Zhang San never expected that Lu Xiaoqing, who usually spoke softly and slowly and avoided people when he saw him, would pick up Lu Xiaosi and drag him to the stern of the boat.
That posture was to drag Lu Xiaosi to the stern of the boat and throw him off the boat!
"This...is..."
Lu Quan groaned, not knowing what to say.
On the bed over there, Lu Xiaowu was woken up, and no one was there to comfort him, so he cried hoarsely.
And Lu Xiaoqing cried louder than Lu Xiaowu.
Brothers and sisters, one voice is louder than the other.
Only Lu Xiaosi, who was being held by the eldest sister, neither cried nor panicked. He only pried off Lu Xiaoqing's hand with both hands and kept shouting: "Sister... eldest sister... I was wrong...
Don't hit me, I know it's wrong..."
Wrong?
Where did you go wrong?
Lu Quan and Lu Xiaoqing were both confused by Lu Sheige's words.
How can something so good go so wrong?
"Xiaoqing, Xiaosi has admitted her mistake. As a sister, please don't be angry."
Zhang San stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Si, and helped Lu Quan to pry Xiao Qing's hands away from Xiao Si.
"No...it's not..."
Lu Xiaoqing shook his head desperately and wanted to explain, but he was stammered and speechless.
"Sister..."
As soon as Lu Xiangge was freed, he immediately rushed forward, hugged Lu Xiaoqing tightly and cried and shouted, "Don't be angry, don't hit me, I'm wrong, isn't that okay? I will never snatch anything from Xiaowu again..."
"
At this moment, Lu Quan seemed to have just woken up, and he patted Lu Xiaosi twice: "You kid, you are so sensible on weekdays. Why do you feel like you have seen a ghost today? You have to fight with Xiao Wu for something to eat. How can your eldest sister?"
Aren’t you angry?”
Lu Xiaoqing opened his mouth, looked at Lu Xiaosi who was holding him tightly in his arms, glanced at his father who was standing aside, and then looked at the cabin director who seemed to be watching the excitement.
She sobbed softly and squatted down with Lu Xiaosi in her arms.
The two siblings seemed to have endless grievances, hugging each other and crying.
The captain of the pavilion stood at the cabin door and glanced at the cabin, which had become cramped because of the crowds of people standing there.
The boats on the wild pier are not big, they are just very ordinary fishermen's awning boats. Because people need to live in them, the two sides are sealed with wooden boards to make a roof, leaving only the front and rear doors. When sleeping, lift the door panels.
It has become a house. When you are not sleeping, you can remove the door panels at both ends to dry fish, pickle vegetables, or make a springboard.
The Lu family's ship is almost the same as all the ships in Ye Pier. There is a rough old table in the cabin. On the table is a worn-out teapot and a full bowl of beans and rice. A bowl is broken from the table.
Beans and rice are also scattered around. There are not even stools around the table, so it can be seen that people usually sit directly on the board of the boat.
In the cabin, besides Lu Quan, there were his three children, and Zhang San who had just gone in to pull the strings. There were two small wooden boxes in the corner, and neatly stacked bedding and clothes piled next to them. On the surrounding walls, there were also hanging
Full of stuff.
At a glance, a fly can clearly see such a cabin, let alone the people hiding there.
Seeing the big ones in the cabin crying and the young ones crying, the director of the pavilion couldn't help frowning and shouted to Zhang San who was trying to stop the fight: "Okay, Zhang San, have you seen the Lu family's boat? Let's go to other places to see it."
look."
"Hey, come on."
Zhang San straightened up and patted Lu Quan on the shoulder, sighing, "Okay, you haven't eaten yet, let the child eat quickly, don't starve the child."
After Zhang San led the pavilion chief and two men to his boat next to him, Lu Xiangge let go of Lu Xiaoqing and raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Lu Xiaoqing's face with his sleeves.
"Sister, don't be afraid, these people are not bad people, they are just looking for fugitives."
"Fugitive?"
Lu Xiaoqing looked at her father standing aside questioningly, "Catch fugitives?"
Lu Quan nodded hurriedly: "Yes, we are here to catch fugitives. Didn't your Uncle Zhang just say it outside? We are here to catch fugitives."
It turns out they were there to catch fugitives, not Xiao Si!
Lu Xiaoqing breathed a sigh of relief, but held Lu Xiaosi's hand tightly and still refused to let go.
Catching fugitives should have nothing to do with Xiaosi, Xiaosi is still so young.
Seeing that Lu Xiaoqing was still a little panicked, Lu Sheige pushed Lu Xiaoqing's shoulder lightly and motioned for her to look at Lu Xiaowu: "Sister, look at Xiaowu."
Lu Xiaowu, who was crying till he was hoarse just now, stopped crying because the room became quiet. Now he was holding on to the edge of the boat and taking small steps, trying to get closer to Lu Xiaoqing and the others.
Under everyone's gaze, Lu Xiaowu didn't take a few steps before he fell down because his feet were weak.
Lu Xiaowu didn't cry after he fell down, but clung to the edge of the boat to use his strength to stand up.
Before Lu Xiaowu could stand up, Lu Xiaoqing had already rushed over in surprise, hugged Lu Xiaowu and shouted: "Xiaowu, can you walk?"
Lu Xiaowu has always been thin and small because he cannot keep up with nutrition. He is one year old and cannot walk yet.
Now, seeing Lu Xiaowu walking unsteadily, how could Lu Xiaoqing be unhappy?
Xiao Wu can walk!
This is really a happy thing. Lu Xiaoqing's little worry about Lu Xiaosi just now was washed away by Xiao Wu's ability to walk.
When Mrs. Qiu came back with her two daughters, Lu Xiaoqing hugged Lu Xiaowu again and showed off in front of her mother and sister.
Seeing his mother-in-law surrounding Xiao Wu and coaxing him to walk, Lu Quan glanced at Lu Sheige and walked out of the cabin.
There are seven houses in the wild dock, seven broken boats and a few low shacks, which cannot hide people at all.
No one was found, and the pavilion chief had already led the messenger away.
But before leaving, I still summoned everyone and warned them again not to stay with strangers I saw, especially those with knives and iron weapons.
Lu Quan watched the pavilion chief and the others go away, then turned to look in the direction of the back river.
I don’t know whether Dr. Xie took that person back or left him at Tutu Temple without picking him up.
He really wanted to go and have a look, but he was worried that if he met the messenger who was looking for someone, he would not be able to explain clearly.
"Dad, let me go to the town to buy some aniseed and come back."
It was agreed that tomorrow Qiu will go to the Ding family to make braised pork sausage for her family. As long as he goes to teach a few times, Qiu will not have to worry about this business from now on, and the Ding family will take over it.
However, Qiu did not need to buy this aniseed. Lu Sheige said this just because he wanted to find an excuse to go to the Xie Family Pharmacy in town.
Lu Quan hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Then go take a look and ask your mother for some money."
Only when Lu Xiaosi came back from town did Lu Quan know that the person he rescued had been picked up.
As for who picked him up, Lu Sheige didn't ask, and Doctor Xie didn't tell him. Even Doctor Xie didn't ask for the money Lu Quan asked Lu Sheige to send.
