butcher's little man

Lian Meng had a dream at night. He dreamed that his stomach was getting bigger and bigger, and then he was pressed on the bed by Li Yiran and others. The doctor Tang stabbed him in the stomach with a sharp knife.

It seemed that they were looking for a child, so they cut a big hole in his stomach. There was no child in his stomach. They tossed and turned in it, and finally gave up, letting his intestines bleed all over the floor.

Lian Meng was awakened by this terrifying dream. He felt that his back was wet, and when he touched it, he found that he was covered in cold sweat. He closed his eyes, and the tragic scene in the dream seemed to be clearly visible.Lian Meng touched her belly with lingering fear, and found that it was still fine, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The sound of "cracking" firecrackers came from a distance. Their custom here is to close the cannons after watching the New Year, and to let go of the cannons when you get up in the morning, which heralds a prosperous new year.

At this time, the sky was not yet bright, and the surroundings were pitch black. Lian Meng thought of his dream again, thinking that it might be a sign, maybe he would really be put to death by that doctor Tang, and he had never heard of it before. How can you still live if you use a knife on a person!He remembered all the things hanging on the wall that day, if that doctor Tang used these things on him in turn, it would be amazing!

After much deliberation, he made a decision...

On the morning of the first day of the new year, Tian Xiaoman woke up to the continuous sound of firecrackers, the loudest of which was of course his home.As soon as he opened his eyes, he found that Li Wenxuan was looking at him with a smile on his face. Seeing that he woke up, he said, "Happy New Year, Xiaoman!"

Tian Xiaoman also laughed, "Wenxuan, Happy New Year!"

The two laughed foolishly for a while under the covers, then Li Wenxuan took out a red cloth bag from under the pillow and handed it to Tian Xiaoman.

"What is this?" Tian Xiaoman took the cloth bag, opened it slowly, and found a silver bracelet, which was exquisitely shaped and looked very beautiful.

Tian Xiaoman was happy at first, "Sister, you are so kind!" He put the bracelet on his hand, and looked at it happily for a while.Then, he suddenly remembered something, "How did this bracelet come about? Do you still have money?"

As soon as Li Wenxuan got married, he handed over all the money from his private house, because Tian Xiaoman felt that he was a prodigal, so he had to give him the money every day when he came back from selling pork.

Li Wenxuan didn't know why Tian Xiaoman's thoughts jumped there all of a sudden, and he froze there for a while before he could react.Tian Xiaoman was even angrier now, "Okay, are you hiding money behind my back? I didn't hide it!"

"No, no," Li Wenxuan immediately begged for mercy, "How dare I? I wish I could give you all of them. How could I hide my money?"

Hearing what he said, Tian Xiaoman also calmed down a bit. Li Wenxuan is really good to him, so let's listen to what he has to say!

"For this money, do you remember the monkey we bought last time?"

"Monkey?" Tian Xiaoman thought for a while, and suddenly remembered the little monkey who only stayed at his house for less than a day, and it cost 20 taels!

"Yes, didn't that man go to take the martial arts exam? I saw him again on the street that day. He seemed to be looking for someone. As soon as I passed by, he happily grabbed me and told me that he had passed the Wujin exam." He was assigned by the court to be a lieutenant general in the southeast camp, this time he passed through Anyang County, and specially stayed there for two days to wait for us..." Li Wenxuan talked about what happened that day.

"...In the end, he took out the silver and gave it to me, but I didn't ask for that much. I only took 20 taels back." Li Wenxuan was not one of those young masters who spent money like water, slapped his face to pretend to be fat, and said that he didn't have to pay it back.

Tan Shan is not the kind of person who pretends to return it. He is still full of gratitude to Li Wenxuan in his heart. Everyone knows that it is easy to add flowers to the cake, but it is difficult to give charcoal in the snow.He only met them once, and he can help them righteously. If he doesn't want to repay them after becoming an official, is he still a person?

Seeing that Li Wenxuan insisted on only asking for 20 taels, he didn't try to force it. The southeast camp is only a hundred miles away from them. If something happens, maybe he can help a little bit!

The two said goodbye, and Li Wenxuan took the lost and recovered silver, and the first thing he did was to go to the jewelry store to order a bracelet for Tian Xiaoman, the style he picked out himself.

After getting a reasonable explanation, Tian Xiaoman stopped embarrassing him, and took the initiative to lean into Li Wenxuan's arms, "I'm sorry, sir, I wronged you!"

Li Wenxuan put his arms around Tian Xiaoman, smiled softly, "It's okay Xiaoman, as long as you understand my heart." Then, he took out the remaining ten taels of silver from under the pillow, and handed it to Tian Xiaoman for him to put away .

Li Wenxuan actually wanted to hide some private money and give Xiaoman a surprise at any time, but forget it, his family's Xiaoman has such sharp eyes, don't let him think that he has two minds.

Tian Xiaoman is also reviewing himself. It seems that he has not learned a single point of E'Mu's skills, otherwise Li Wenxuan has been hiding for so many days, and he doesn't even know they are all under the pillow. He has to work harder in the future!

Li Wenxuan's New Year's Day is sweet, but Li Yiran's is not!Because Lian Meng was not feeling well, Li Yiran was driven to the study to sleep these days.Seeing that the sky was getting brighter and brighter, everyone had to get up earlier on the first day of the new year, so Li Yiran saw that there was no movement in Lianmeng's room, so he went to knock on the door.

Li Yiran knocked for a long time, but there was no movement inside. He thought that something had happened to Lianmeng, so he tried to push the door open, but with a little force, the door opened with a "squeak".

Li Yiran frowned, could it be that he is already awake?Walking into the room, it was empty, the beds were neatly folded, it didn't look like someone had slept in it.

Li Yiran was stunned for a moment, then walked outside, saw Li Amu was already in the kitchen, Li Yiran asked, "Amu, did you see Brother Meng?"

"No! Is brother Meng out of the house?" Li Amu asked while cooking dumplings. Last night, there were too many dumplings and I didn't finish them. I will continue to eat them this morning.

"He's not in the house, maybe he went out to relax, I'll go look for him." After Li Yiran finished speaking, he walked around the yard first, and then went out to look for him.

After searching around for a long time, Li Yiran still didn't see him, so he went back to the yard, thinking that maybe he had already gone back.But I didn't see anyone when I went back!Now he panicked a little.

Brother Meng'er is sick all by himself, where can he go?When he was in a hurry, other people also came over.

"Brother, don't worry, maybe my sister-in-law left a note for you in the room? Our village has always been peaceful, and nothing will happen!" Li Wenxuan said in time, and Li Yiran thought about it, and went back to the room to take a closer look. He checked, but found that Lianmeng's things were much missing. He suddenly remembered something, and opened the box where they usually put money, but found that it was empty.

After seeing Li Yiran come out for a long time, Li Wenxuan walked in, only to find Li Yiran sitting on the ground with a look of despair.

"Brother, what's the matter with you?" Li Wenxuan saw that his appearance was wrong, and immediately moved to his side and shouted anxiously.

Hearing Li Wenxuan's voice, other people also came in, "Boss, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"

Amidst the repeated shouts of the crowd, Li Yiran finally woke up. He saw the anxious relatives around him, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Brother Meng...he... is gone!"

"Where did you go?" Li Amu asked, where could he go as a patient?

Li Yiran shook his head, he didn't know where Brother Meng went, and he didn't know why he had to leave, obviously he was well last night, he also said that he would take Brother Le back with him when he recovered from his illness!He also felt that Lianmeng had changed back to his previous appearance. Unexpectedly, he was not happy for one night, and he was severely teased!

"Wenxuan, take the car, let's look for him! He's a brother, and he's sick, so he won't be able to go far!" Li Amu looked at him and made a decision.

But they didn't know what was going on, they walked along the main road and searched, but they didn't see Lian Meng's figure. In desperation, Li Amu decided to go to Lian Meng's natal family to try her luck.

Since Lian Meng's uncle became a county magistrate, Lian's family bought a house in the county, and the whole family came to live in the county.According to what they said, it will be different from those country folks in the future.As for the clan, even the patriarch had to rely on his younger brother, so he was afraid of what they would say!

Li Wenxuan drove to the gate of Lian's house, jumped out of the carriage, and knocked on the door knocker.

"Here we come," an impatient voice came from the door, the man opened the door and saw Li Wenxuan.Because he was in a hurry to go out in the morning, Li Wenxuan didn't have the patience to wear the more complicated new clothes, but ordinary old clothes, so this person took it for granted that Li Wenxuan came to play the autumn wind.

He squinted at Li Wenxuan, "Which family are you from? Why do you come here on the first day of the Chinese New Year? People these days just have no rules, and beggars know that they will come after the fifth day of the new year!"

Li Wenxuan is not a good tempered person, but now there is something important, he suppressed his anger and asked, "I am Lian Meng's uncle, did he go home today?"

"Lian Meng? You mean the eldest brother of the master's family? Of course he is a married brother who is in your house for the New Year. Why did he come here to ask for someone!"

"Get out of the way, let us go in and have a few words with my father-in-law!" Li Wenxuan became angry, and his words were not polite, this dog-eyed doorkeeper!

"Get out of the way if you say... Hey, what do you want to do!"

The janitor was picked up by Li Wenxuan, with panic all over his face. "Master, if you have something to say, please say it, and the villain will report it right away!"

As soon as the janitor was put down, he ran in in a panic. Li Wenxuan turned around and helped his mother down again, and waited at the door together.

Not long after, the gatekeeper came back again, "Please, please!" His attitude became a little better, presumably because he was afraid of Li Wenxuan.

When Li Wenxuan and Li Amu walked in, they found that Meng's father and Amu were sitting in the lobby. After seeing them, they greeted them affectionately, "Dear family, why are you here when you have time?" After finishing speaking, let them He sat down and ordered his servants to make tea.

After Li Amu sat down, she didn't talk too much nonsense, "Dear family, we are here today to ask about Brother Meng's whereabouts. If you know, please tell us that he is sick and can't be tired."

The old couple listened and looked at each other, "What are the in-laws talking about? Brother Meng, who is celebrating Chinese New Year, is not at your house. How would we know?"

"Brother Meng didn't come back?" Li Amu stared at the two of them closely, as if trying to see any flaws.

"No, it's not today even if we want to pay New Year's greetings! Maybe he went to other places for a walk, relatives, don't make a fuss, where can he go when he is so big?"

Seeing that the two of them seemed to be indifferent, Li Amu couldn't help sighing. He finally knew who Meng Geer's indifference came from. Even though he said that Meng Geer was ill, the two said nothing Don't ask.

In this case, Li Amu didn't stay any longer, and left with Li Wenxuan.

Not long after they left, a man with a bag on his back knocked on the door.

"Who is it again?" That person was very impatient, what's going on today, maybe he has nothing to do to entertain him?

"Eldest Young Master? You're really back!" The man's eyes widened, looking at Lian Meng in front of him.

"Let me in!" Lian Meng pushed the person in front of him away and walked in.

His father, Amu, was still sitting there at this time, making fun of Li Amu for being an old fool, but he saw Lian Meng in a blink of an eye.

"Why are you back?" Father Lian frowned, looking at the dusty Lian Meng.

"They want to put me to death!" Lian Meng cried when he saw his father and mother. He was frightened all the way, fearing that the Li family would find him and send him to Doctor Tang.

"What?" The two yelled out in disbelief.

Then Lian Meng told them all the recent events.

"You said it wasn't a child in the stomach? What kind of tumor? And you said you're going to cut the belly open with a knife?" Lian Amu was still in doubt. If the belly was cut open, the person would have died. It seems that the Li family really has no good intentions!

But, "You're not sick enough, are you?" Lian Amu looked at the pale Lian Meng, and hesitantly said, his youngest son's husband is just pregnant!

Lian Meng was already used to it, and he shook his head, "It's just a shame, Li Wenxuan's husband is also pregnant, so I didn't give it to him."

"That's good," Lian Emu patted his chest, and then remembered something, "You just came out like this?" Don't bring anything, it's all cheap for them.

"I took out the money, and I still need to see a doctor!" Even dreaming about it, it is absolutely impossible for him to disembowel him. There are so many miraculous doctors in the world, and he doesn't believe that no one can cure him!

"That's good," Lian Amu nodded, and said, "You may have run into something evil, otherwise, how could this good-looking child become a tumor? I will take you to Master Zhang to have a look some other day!"

Lian Meng was noncommittal, he had traveled all night, and now he was tired, so he asked his mother to take him to rest, and then told them not to let others know that he was back.

Li Wenxuan and the others walked around the county, but they still couldn't find anyone, so they went back.Li Yiran was lying on the bed, looking a bit exhausted, Le Geer lay beside his bed, looking at him worriedly.

Li Yiran touched Brother Le's little head, looked at his innocent round eyes, and couldn't help feeling sad.He is sorry for Brother Le, he has not been able to take him well, and now his mother is gone again...

Brother Le didn't understand what he was thinking. When he came together today, he found that Mammy was missing. She helped him dress and feed him, and then brought him here after eating.

In fact, he didn't really want to go in, but when he found that there was only one father inside, and there was no such fierce mother, he became happy again.But Father didn't look well, as if he was sick.

Tian Xiaoman sat in the yard, staring at the door tightly, hoping to see Lian Meng walking in from outside in the next moment.

Father Li was inquiring in the village to see if anyone had seen Lian Meng. He asked very vaguely, after all, it was not a good thing.

When Li Wenxuan was driving back, he happened to see Father Li on the way back, so he let him get in the car and exchanged ideas with each other.

Father Li looked inside the carriage first, and said, "You didn't find it, did you?"

"Yeah, I don't know where I went!" Li Amu was a little resentful. No one could be happy when this happened on the first day of the new year.

"I heard from Uncle Tie Zhu at the head of the village that when he got up this morning to set off firecrackers, he once saw a man walking out of the village with a bundle on his back. It was not yet dawn at that time, so he thought he was wrong, so he ignored it. " Father Li's tone was a little heavy, presumably that was their husband, and he was sure he left by himself, not by some strongman.

"Go home and ask the boss, what did they say last night, why did they leave early in the morning before dawn!" Li Amu wondered if Li Yiran said something unpleasant, so he left.Li Amu didn't know that Lian Meng had taken away all his family's money.

……

"I didn't say anything, but after watching the New Year's Eve last night, I asked him to go to bed early. After all, he was not in good health. Then I said that it is better not to be late to see a doctor. It's better to hurry up."

"Are you sure that's what you said? Then why did he leave?" Li Amu was puzzled.

"Uh... is it because he is afraid of seeing a doctor?" Tian Xiaoman said, he actually felt terrified when he saw the knives on the wall.

Everyone present looked at me and looked at you, and felt that there was a possibility. If it was because of this reason, they didn't know what to say. They are all adults, so why don't they know what is good for their health?

Li Yiran was a little embarrassed to bother everyone about the troubles caused by their husband and wife. He decided to go to see Lian's family tomorrow during New Year's greetings. Others don't know, but he knows that there is only one place for Lianmeng to go.
