On the third day of the first lunar month, the fourth room of Lao Mu’s house Since leaving the village, Lao Mu's family has been the only family in the county.
Even during the holidays, there are not so many relatives and friends who need to visit, and New Year greetings are even less likely.
Being really bored at home, Mu Dajiang went out to work early.
After two days of rest, Muxiaxia also went out to work.
The county town is different from the town.
Most shops in the town open after the eighth day of the first lunar month.
However, the county seat can open its doors from the second day of the first lunar month.
Therefore, Liu was left alone in the fourth house to take care of the housework and take care of Xiaochu, who was less than four years old.
On the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Mrs.
Liu began to wash the clothes that everyone had accumulated for several days.
She took a big wooden basin and threw all the clothes to be washed into the big wooden basin.
After adding some juice obtained by pounding dry soap locust, two buckets of cold water were poured down, and foam formed in the tub.
Lin squatted down and began to wash clothes.
Mrs.
Liu was washing clothes in the yard, and Xiaochu was playing at the gate of the yard as usual.
When Ms.
Liu looked up, she could see Xiaochu with his butt sticking out and playing in the mud on the ground.
She looked up from time to time, and Xiao Chu's small figure was always reflected in her eyes.
Ms.
Liu looked at her son who was playing so hard, smiling happily.
How wonderful it is now, with the man by my side, my daughter and my son by my side.
When enough money is saved, he will make a good marriage for his daughter and save enough money for his son's education.
Mrs.
Liu thought about her future life, and the smile on her face became brighter.
She washed the clothes more diligently, and after a while, a large basin of clothes was washed.
Mrs.
Liu got up and went into the house to get a wooden bucket and prepare to fetch water.
After just a short while, when Mrs.
Liu turned around and came out again, Xiao Chu was gone.
Mrs.
Liu panicked, threw the barrel and ran out.
There was no sign of his son inside or outside the hospital at this time.
Mrs.
Liu suddenly broke out in cold sweat, and her body was a little shaky.
"Calm down, calm down, maybe you are just having fun," Ms.
Liu comforted herself.
After calming down, she quickly asked the people who were also working in the yard if they had seen her son.
But everyone was minding their own business, and no one noticed what happened at the entrance of the courtyard.
Only then did Master Liu understand the seriousness of the matter.
She shouted at the top of her voice: "Xiaochu, Xiaochu, where are you?"
Son, son, where are you?
Don't scare me. " But no one responded at all.
Mrs.
Liu rushed out and looked back and forth at the whole street.
No, Xiaochu was nowhere to be seen on the entire street.

Mrs.
Liu was like crazy, looking here and there.
While searching, she also asked people around her if they had seen a child touching her thigh.
Passers-by shook their heads.
There were not many people on the street at this time.
The number of people Liu could ask was limited, and the information he could obtain was even more limited.
From the street to the end of the street, Mrs.
Liu ran almost everywhere, but she never saw her son.
Finally, she realized that her son was lost She started screaming, yelling, and crying desperately, but to no avail, the child was still missing.
At noon, Mu Xiaxia went home and brought food to Liu and Xiaochu.
Who knew, when I came back, I would see Madam Liu sitting at the door of the courtyard with her hair disheveled, mumbling something.
"Mom" Mu Xiaxia shouted.
When she heard someone calling her, Ms.
Liu looked up suddenly.
"Xiaochu, Xiaochu" "Mom, what are you doing?
Don't scare me, what are you doing?"
Mu Xiaxia couldn't hold back her tears and almost cried.
"Xia Xia, Xia Xia, Xiaochu Xiaochu is lost."
The woman's face was covered with tears, her eyes were extremely red, and she looked as if she had died once.
When Mu Xiaxia heard the news, her face suddenly turned pale.
"Mom, did you make a mistake that Xiaochu was playing at home, right?
He was hiding, right?"
Muxiaxia said as she ran towards the house.
She rummaged through boxes and cabinets at home, looking under the table, on the bed, in cabinets, and even in the stove where no one could be hidden, but she couldn't find Xiaochu.
Only then did Mu Xiaxia believe that Xiao Chu had really lost his "Mom, I'll go find dad.
It's better for you to wait for me at home than to do something stupid."
Mu Xiaxia put down these words and rushed out.
Mu Dajiang is currently working at the dock.
Although it is also a dock, it is not carrying goods like in the past.
He is now working as a pieceworker at the wharf.
He records who carries the goods and how much goods they carry, and then pays the workers according to his records.
This job is much easier than carrying goods, and it is equivalent to a small steward.
Moreover, this job was introduced by the shopkeeper of Jiushixuan.
Of course, it was Zheng Zhi who ordered it, but Mu Xiaxia didn't know that.
Mu Xiaxia rushed to the dock in one breath and said to Mu Dajiang who was counting pieces: "Dad, Xiaochu is missing."
The man didn't react at first, with a smile on his face.
Until Mu Xiaxia screamed, "Dad, our Xiaochu is missing."
The record book and the writing brush in Mu Dajiang's hand fell to the ground at the same time.
He also sat down on the ground as if his soul had been knocked out.
Mu Xiaxia stepped forward and pulled Mu Dajiang, "Dad, let's go find Xiao Chu, let's go" Only then did Mu Dajiang remember what he wanted to do He stood up and followed Mu Xiaxia back to the fourth room of Old Mu's house in a daze.
Mu Dajiang, Mu Xiaxia and Liu, a family of three, went crazy, shouting Mu Xiaochu's name on the street near their yard.
At the same time, Xiao Chu had been hidden by the Jin family in an inn far away from where Si Fang lived.
She hired a mother-in-law to take care of her, and prepared all the delicious food and drinks for Mu Xiaochu.
Early this morning, Jin hid on the street corner and kept observing the four-bedroom courtyard where the old Mu family lived.
She saw Xiaochu playing with mud alone at the entrance of the courtyard, but at the same time she also saw Mrs.

Liu washing clothes in the courtyard.
Jin had been patiently waiting for Liu to go away.
Just as Mrs.
Liu finished washing her clothes and went to get the bucket, Mrs.
Jin tricked Xiao Chu away with a piece of candy.
But the main reason was that Xiaochu knew Jin, and when he saw Jin, he sweetly called her aunt.
Jin told Xiaochu that she would take him to buy food, so Xiaochu went with him.
Once he left, he could not go back from now on.
Since Jin dared to take Xiaochu away openly, he naturally made preparations to never let Mu Xiaochu appear again.
Even if it were to appear, it would only be three to five years later.
This child is only three years old.
Three or five years later, he will not remember what happened now.
Therefore, Jin is not worried at all that he will suffer.
The delivery time agreed with the buyer is the eighth day of the first lunar month, and it is only the third day of the lunar month, so during these five days, Jin must do his best to protect Mu Xiaochu.
As for the delivery location, it is in the west of the county town, in an extremely remote place, far away from the east of the city:
