Chapter 0093 The Disappearing Person
Qin Mipo looked at the stone needles on my body and her face was very excited.
I wanted to touch it with my trembling hand, but I was afraid of hurting me, so I just brushed the needle lightly and then retracted it.
"Does it hurt?" Qin Mipo pulled her clothes back on and whispered, "Snake King must be getting desperate."
I coaxed Abao and smiled softly, "It's okay."
Later I fainted and then I was fine.
Qin Mipo looked at me and wanted to say something, but in the end she just coughed and said, "Then you go to sleep first, do you want anything to eat?"
"I have no appetite. No need. I'll take Abao to sleep." I felt really tired. I patted Abao's butt and felt that it was covered with a diaper.
Still explained: "No bed-wetting."
Po giggled and rolled around beside me.
Qin Mipo looked at me again, and seeing that I was indeed tired, she turned off the light.
Abao was in good spirits, but also very calm. He was not the noisy type. He just lay beside me, quietly, gurgling his own music.
I closed my eyes, reached out and hooked my fingers with his, pointing them one by one.
This is how my parents played with me when I was a kid, except they would sing songs, dot dot fly, …
This is probably a kind of finger exercise, allowing children to feel each finger.
Bao seemed to be having a lot of fun. He turned around and hooked my finger to play with it.
I focused all my attention on my fingers and indeed didn't feel any pain at all.
But I don’t understand, Long Ling made the snake coffin in order to resurrect Mo Xiu.
But now that Mo Xiu is alive, he suppresses the snake coffin again, thinking of reviving the dragon spirit.
Aren't these two quite troublesome?
I didn't feel any pain even though the stone needles were inside my body.
But when playing the game of hooking fingers with Po, every time I play, there seems to be a different feeling, as if something is moved when I hook my fingers.
When I felt it carefully again, it was gone again.
Maybe it was because Abao’s body was so soft and warm, I fell asleep again after a while.
This time it wasn’t a drowsy feeling, I just fell asleep and felt very comfortable.
It was just vaguely that I felt as if I was tightly entangled by something, and I seemed to hear some low crying sounds.
I wanted to see who it was, but I had no idea.
When I woke up again, it was already bright outside. I smelled the aroma of broth as soon as I opened my eyes.
Abao sat on a small stool in front of my bed and drank the broth with a spoon.
There was also a bench in front with two bowls on it for Po to eat from.
I was just about to tease A-Bao when I heard someone outside pleading, "Everyone knows you're good at asking for rice, so can you help me find it, please?"
Qin Mipo seemed to be coughing softly. From the sound of her voice, I knew she didn't want to talk.
He turned over, put a piece of meat into Abao's small bowl, then turned to the door to take a look.
There was a middle-aged couple outside, probably in their forties or fifties. They spoke with a heavy accent and were very excited. The woman held Qin Mipo's hand and refused to let go.
Qin Mipo was pretending to cough at first, but after a moment of stalemate, she really started coughing.
I quickly got her a glass of water and found the unfinished medicine: "Take the medicine first, or you will cough to death if you don't."
Qin Mipo drank two sips of water before she could catch her breath.
Seeing that she was really seriously ill, the woman let go of her hand embarrassedly.
After washing up in the kitchen, I took a wet towel to wipe Bao's hands.
The woman actually followed me to the kitchen, looked at me and said, "Girl, are you Qin Mipo's apprentice? Can you help me ask for rice? My daughter is the same age as you, and she is missing."
"Can you help me find it, please? I'll kneel down for you!" She said as she knelt down in front of me.
I knew she wasn't from our town by her accent, so I reached out and pulled her up: "I don't know how to ask for rice."
He took the towel back to the room and wiped the oil off Abao's mouth.
But the woman seemed very excited and wanted to follow in.
I was afraid that Abao's appearance would scare her, so I quickly pulled her out and closed the door.
"My daughter is really the same age as you. She is missing. Please help me find her." The woman started to cry as she spoke.
Abao seemed to be growling in the room. I was afraid that Abao might hurt her if she made a mistake, so I pushed her and said, "You go out first, I'll be out soon."
Sure enough, when I pushed the door open, Abao walked to the door tremblingly, his face gradually became ferocious, and he was about to lie down.
I hurriedly held Abao's hand and pulled him to stand up: "It's okay, I will call Abao if there is anything, Abao, do you know?"
A Bao hummed and sat on the bench to drink the broth again.
When she came out again, the woman ignored Qin Mipo and went straight to me.
This is the reality. Young women are always more soft-hearted, so it is easier to approach them.
Seeing that Qin Mipo didn't want to talk, I wanted to find an excuse to send the couple away.
Then the man looked at me, slapped his thigh and said, "You are Long Ling? Are you not?"
"No." I instinctively denied the name Long Ling.
But the man was very excited, clapping his hands and saying, "I am here to deliver liquor, Lao Li's liquor? I am here to deliver liquor to your father, She Jiulong?"
"When I sent you Chongyang wine last year, your father asked you to peel pears for me. Do you remember? Old Li ! How come such a good girl has a shaved head? I didn't recognize you just now." Old Li's eyes flashed and he kept talking.
Now, whenever I hear anything related to my family, I feel a little bit of palpitations.
He looked up at Lao Li and thought for a while before he remembered.
Last year on the Double Ninth Festival, I was playing with my phone upstairs and my dad insisted on asking me to go downstairs to peel a golden autumn pear for him and asked me to call him Uncle Li.
I was patient at the time, so I called out, peeled the pear and ran away.
Now I think of it, my dad once said: "The wine I use to make snake wine was all given by your uncle Li. Without his wine, I can't make snake wine, and how can I earn money to support you."
Something in my heart suddenly beat fast. I looked at Qin Mipo and she nodded at me.
I smiled at Lao Li and said, "Uncle Li, I didn't recognize you just now. Please sit down and I'll pour you some water."
Now that they were related, everything became easier. Qin Mipo also started talking to Aunt Li.
Only then did I realize that the reason why Lao Li came to Qin Mi Po to ask about rice was because someone had gone to him to look for snake wine.
Then he remembered what my father had said to him before when they were drinking, that Qin Mi Po was very accurate in telling about rice, and could never make any mistakes when finding people or things.
When Old Li was asked about snake wine this time, he heard the name Qin Mipo again and thought of looking for his daughter.
Aunt Li's eyes were filled with tears when she talked about her daughter.
Although I wanted to ask about the snake wine, seeing the way the couple was, they knew that unless the matter was settled, they would not be in the mood to talk about wine.
He drew a piece of paper for Aunt Li and said, "Tell us what happened. We'll listen and see."
After saying that, she turned her head and glanced at Qin Mipo. She waved at me and said, "These are probably the people your father left behind on purpose. We just happened to be short of snake wine, so they came here."
This is just a coincidence, it may or may not be true.
From Uncle Li’s words, we can learn that the snake wine those people in the Xuanmen outside the town were looking for came from Old Li’s family.
But when Yu Xinhe entered the town, relying on snake wine, I always felt that my father had expected it.
When Uncle Li saw us discussing it, he quickly told us about his daughter.
His daughter’s name is Li Qian. She is two years older than me and is twenty years old this year.
He stopped studying after graduating from high school and insisted on going out to work.
This kind of thing is very common, so Uncle Li asked a relative to take her south to work.
As a result, during the Chinese New Year that year, Li Qian said that she had a boyfriend and would be going to her boyfriend's house to celebrate the New Year and would not be coming back.
Uncle Li got anxious at the time and scolded her, saying that if she didn't come back for the New Year, she would never be able to return home again.
Li Qian was also angry and really didn't come back to celebrate the New Year that year .
However, the relative who took her out said that after the New Year, she returned to the factory to work.
Uncle Li and the others knew that they couldn't argue anymore, so they advised her to bring her boyfriend home to see what happened first.
However, Li Qian said that she had to go back to her boyfriend first to settle things. She couldn't let Uncle Li and his wife look down on her boyfriend.
Since then, we suddenly lost contact.
Relatives also helped to look for him, but Li Qian’s boyfriend had entered the factory using a fake ID, so he could not be found at all.
Uncle Li and his wife were very anxious. Uncle Li even went to the factory where Li Qian worked to make a scene, but there was no news.
I have searched online and used all the necessary channels, but still no news.
"When I delivered wine to your father last year, he told me that if the police couldn't find it, I should go to Qin Mipo to ask for it after the New Year. At that time, we didn't believe it at all..." Uncle Li rubbed his hands and looked at Qin Mipo embarrassedly.
I understood instantly after hearing this. Last year on the Double Ninth Festival, my father had already guided Uncle Li to find Qin Mipo?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the sound of a bowl falling to the ground in the house.
Qin Mipo and I looked at each other and quickly turned around and went into the house.
But Mo Xiu was sitting quietly beside the bed, holding a stone bowl in his hand.
I don’t know what’s in the bowl, but a sweet fragrance comes out of it.
A Bao's bowl of broth was broken on the ground. He was standing in front of Mo Xiu, drooling, looking at the bowl in Mo Xiu's arms.
Mo Xiu waved the bowl in front of him, but immediately covered it, causing Po to growl anxiously.
This scene doesn't seem to fit Mo Xiu's setting at all?
