"Girl, get up and eat steamed buns!" The next morning, it was the sound of my father banging on the door that woke me up.
I opened my eyes, picked up my phone and looked at the time. I actually overslept, and it was almost nine o'clock.
"Dad, where is Dongzi? Why didn't he call me when he came back?" I opened the door and rubbed my eyes and asked my father.
"Dongzi ran away with someone, don't worry about him, come and eat the buns, I just steamed them and they are hot!" Dad said and wanted to pull me away.
"Wait, let me wash my face first!" I said and turned around and walked into the bathroom, and my father followed me in.
"Didn't Dongzi come back this morning? Could it be that he has already gone to Yuanqi Pavilion?" I asked my father casually while washing.
"I got up so early to cook for you, and it turned out well. She was abducted by that girl named Lian!"
Dad said with some dissatisfaction: "That brat, I made so many buns in vain, and he hasn't even eaten one!"
"How do you know that Dongzi was abducted by Lian Ruowei?" I turned to look at my father while brushing my teeth in a funny way: "Maybe he has something else going on?"
"What else can that stupid, unlucky kid do? He will believe whatever the girl named Lian tells him. Don't imitate him. Bad guys will always find ways to make you sad!"
Dad said solemnly.
"How can your daughter be so stupid?" I glanced at my father funny, "Besides, no one can make me sad."
"Why not? I told you yesterday that you were going to meet a villain, my son-in-law..." When my father said this, he suddenly raised his hand to cover his mouth and looked at me with a guilty look on his face.
"What did you calculate?" He rinsed the foam from his mouth, looked at his father and said, "What happened to Xiaohong?"
"Nothing! I didn't say anything!" Dad muttered, covering his mouth.
"Dad! What on earth did you figure out? Will anything happen to Xiaohong?" I couldn't help but feel flustered when I saw my father's appearance, so I stared at him and asked.
"I don't know! I haven't figured out anything. I didn't even do any fortune-telling yesterday!" Dad looked at me and waved his hands repeatedly: "Oh, the buns are going to be burnt. I'll go down and take a look. Come down and eat!"
After saying that, my father ran out as if he was running away.
"Dad!" I chased after him anxiously, "What on earth did you figure out?"
"Nothing, I didn't calculate anything!" Dad raised his feet and ran faster.
I shook my head speechlessly and returned to the bathroom to continue washing myself.
But I always feel a little uneasy in my heart.
I don't know whether it was because of what his father said or because Dongzi suddenly received a call from Lian Ruowei in the middle of the night and didn't come back all night.
After I washed up and walked to the living room, my father was drinking porridge from a bowl.
Hearing my footsteps going downstairs, my father looked up at me.
I raised my eyebrows and was about to ask my father about fortune telling. My father put down the porridge bowl in his hand, stood up and said, "Oh, my daughter, I almost forgot. Your mother said she wanted to eat steamed buns, so let me
Get some for her!"
After saying that, my father picked up a plate of steaming steamed buns and started to run upstairs.
Mom wants to eat steamed buns? What a good excuse!
I stretched out a hand to stop my father and said, "Mom loves me so much. She will never allow you to lie to me. If you don't tell me what you have figured out, my mother will definitely be unhappy and won't even eat the buns."
It smells delicious!”
"But, your mother..." Dad rolled his eyes and stamped his feet in distress.
"Dad, what have you figured out? Tell me and I won't be sad. Have you figured out what happened to Xiaohong?" I took my father's arm and shook it gently.
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that he didn't go abroad at all! You and he met a villain..." Dad said hesitantly.
"Didn't go abroad? What do you mean?" I unconsciously let go of my father's arm and looked at him in surprise, "You mean Xiaohong didn't actually go abroad and you lied to me and said he went abroad?"
"I'm not lying to you. He was originally going to go abroad, but then he met a villain and didn't go out..."
Dad said as he raised his feet and ran up. When he reached the corner of the stairs, he turned back to look at me and said, "I haven't figured out exactly what happened. Anyway, you all met a villain. Don't blame him.
Ask him again later!"
Why meet a villain? Why don't you blame him?
Dad talked a lot, but I didn't understand anything. The general meaning was that Lu Xiaohong probably didn't go abroad.
But what would happen if he didn't go abroad? Why hasn't he come back yet?
After thinking for a long time, I couldn't think of a reason, so I simply took out my mobile phone and called Lu Xiaohong directly. I called several times, but couldn't get through.
Keeps prompting to shut down.
I looked at the time and saw that it was almost ten o'clock. I put down my phone and asked Luo Yue casually: "Luo Yue, has Dongzi never come back?"
"No, I called him in the morning. He said he was very busy and hung up." Luo Yue answered as she filled a bowl of porridge and handed it to me.
Not cold, not hot, just right in your mouth.
I sat down at the dining table, drank the pickled cucumbers pickled by Luo Yue in a few mouthfuls, and then turned to Luo Yue and asked, "Did Dongzi tell you what he was busy with?"
"No, he said he would be back after finishing his work." Luo Yue replied.
I nodded and stood up and said to Luo Yue: "Dad, I still have to ask you to take care of me at home. I'll go to Yuanqi Pavilion first and open the door for business. It's not good to keep the door closed all the time!"
"Don't worry, Uncle Xiao is actually quite cute sometimes!" Luo Yue nodded.
Since Dongzi is away, I can only walk to Yuanqi Pavilion. It has been so long and I haven't found the time to learn to drive. It seems that I really can't put it off any longer.
Fortunately, this place is relatively remote. Except for the occasional passing vehicle, there are no pedestrians on the road. I can walk faster without anyone noticing. I can just change to normal speed after entering a crowded place along Yanjiang Street.
It was just half past ten when I arrived at Yuanqi Pavilion. As soon as I opened the door, I saw a woman carrying a shopping bag standing on the side of the road across the road and looking this way.
When I looked at her, I met her eyes.
What I didn't expect was that the woman smiled kindly at me and walked towards the road carrying shopping bags.
Although this section of the road has four lanes, there is no guardrail in the middle, so the woman does not need to detour. She looks around to see what kind of cars she sees, and then jogs all the way to the entrance of Yuanqi Pavilion.
"Girl, can you help people exorcise evil spirits here?" The woman ran to the door and stopped, looking into Yuanqi Pavilion.
I looked at the woman. Her body was very clean and she didn't seem to be contaminated with any yin or evil energy.
"Yes, did something happen to you?" I nodded, turned sideways and said, "Come in and talk!"
"Okay! Okay!" The woman nodded as if meeting a savior and followed me through the door.
When the woman passed by the wind chime at the door, the wind chime swayed slightly and made a soft "ding" sound. This chapter has been completed!
