Daughter's Portable Space

Chapter 462
The matter of Brother Tai's disappearance, although the old lady of the Qin family was hidden from it the first night, it was impossible to hide it from the second day no matter what.

Because of this matter, Qin Shaotian went to Taichang Temple to ask for leave the next day, and Jie Geer did not go to the official school, because Luo Yunrui was terrified all night, and got up in the middle of the night to go to the next room to see Jie Geer and Brother Hao, fortunately, except for the doll who was taken aback, the two children have been fast asleep.

Because of this, brother Jie stayed by Luo Yunrui's side on the second day, so brother Hao needless to say.

As for the old lady of the Qin family, Qin Shaotian invited her in person. Luo Yunrui was really in a bad mood. Qin Shaotian was afraid that when she passed by, the two of them would cry again. The wife invited her over first, and then asked the baby to wait by her side, and then she explained the matter.Sure enough, the old lady of the Qin family passed out immediately. Fortunately, her body was not weak. After the baby pinched her benevolence, she gave her another dose of medicine, and she regained consciousness.

However, even if a person is awake, his emotions are still broken.

Amidst the cries of the old lady of the Qin family, Qin Shaotian went out again, this time he brought his servants to search for the whole capital.In addition to the servants of the Qin family, Qin Shaotian also asked the people in the government to look for them together, and spent money to hire some escorts and the like. The whole capital was frantically looking for people.

But the capital is so big, it takes nearly three hours to travel from the east to the west of the city, even if it takes a carriage. Brother Tai is just a young child, how can it be so easy to find?
Soon, three days passed, even though Qin Shaotian turned the capital upside down, he still couldn't find Brother Tai.In order to find the child, the Qin family not only offered a huge bounty, but also promised to remember their kindness forever, but Brother Tai still disappeared without a trace.At this time, someone reminded Qin Shaotian that the child might be taken away.

In the capital city, child abduction and trafficking rarely happened, but that didn't mean it didn't happen at all.There will be one or two cases almost every few years, but they usually don't appear in big families, and most of them are in the farmer's houses on the outskirts of the city.Also, the children of rich families are accompanied by servants and stay in the high-walled courtyard all day long. On the contrary, the children of peasant families run around every day, and it is common for them to be taken away by pampering.

After searching for a few more days, Qin Shaotian was almost sure that Brother Tai was really taken away, otherwise he was a little child, if no one took him away, he could only cry near Xiyang Street.And if they meet kind-hearted people, they will usually send the children to the head of the village, or directly to the government's Ci'an Hall.

Ci'an Hall is a place run by the imperial court for the elderly and orphans to stay for free. The conditions are not good, but at least they won't be cold or hungry.

Qin Shaotian had already sent people to guard the three Ci'an halls in the capital, but they found nothing.

Time passed slowly, and Qin Shaotian became more and more desperate. After waiting for a month, he vaguely felt that Brother Tai might never be found again.

"Young days..."

Ever since Taige was lost, Luo Yunrui would guard outside the second gate every evening, hoping to get news from Taige.However, each time is bound to be a disappointment.

If it wasn't for the curfew in the capital, Qin Shaotian would rather go home later.But he had to go home, seeing his wife and mother looking expectant and then disappointed every day, he felt very uncomfortable.Although no one in the family blamed him, the self-blame in his heart almost drove him crazy.

Brother Tai is not the eldest son of the Qin family, but for several years, he has been the most beloved youngest son.Although after Brother Hao was born, Luo Yunrui inevitably shifted her attention to the young and sticky Hao Brother, but she never neglected Tai Ge'er.

Especially Qin Shaotian, because when Brother Hao was born, Brother Jie and Brother Tai were already four or five years old, so he simply enlightened Brother Tai in advance.During the few years when the two brothers did not go to government schools, the father and son should spend the most time together. On the contrary, the young brother Hao liked Luo Yunrui more and rarely acted like a baby with Qin Shaotian.

But since Brother Tai disappeared, everything seemed to have changed. The life of the Qin family was completely disrupted, especially the old lady of the Qin family and Luo Yunrui. Take care of Brother Jie and Brother Hao wholeheartedly.Of course, I have to wait for the news every evening, but I can't sleep well every night.

Naturally, this kind of life can't last long, in just one month, Luo Yunrui, Qin Shaotian, and the old lady of the Qin family all lost a lot of weight.

Even Jie Geer began to feel uneasy. At first, he thought that even if Tai Geer was lost like him, he would come back soon, but as time went by, he usually stayed with him all day long. Together, Tai Geer just disappeared from his life. Except for a few days before the accident, Jie Geer would cry himself to sleep almost every day in those days, and would call Tai Geer’s name even in his dreams at night. .

I am afraid that the only one who is not affected is brother Hao. Although he is two years old, but because he and his two brothers are not often together, at most they meet each other in three or two days, even if he feels something is wrong, But it was forgotten in an instant.

Sometimes, Luo Yunrui thinks about it, luckily it wasn't brother Hao who was lost.Brother Hao is too young. Although he looks smart, he doesn't remember anything. If Brother Hao is kidnapped, he will never be found again.

But thinking about it this way, Luo Yunrui collapsed again. Her brother Tai can remember things and made it clear that if he just got lost, it would not be difficult to find him.I'm afraid that he was really taken away by someone, and that person left the capital directly after taking the child away.Even if Brother Tai remembers things, once he leaves the capital, no matter where he goes, let alone a small child, even an adult, what can he do?
Time passed very quickly, two months passed in a blink of an eye, the day Tai Geer lost was the Holy Majesty's birthday, March [-]th, it was only half a month after the filial piety period, Luo Yunrui always remembered this date in her heart.

But now it's already the middle of May, and Taige'er's birthday is the sixth day of July, the day before the Qiqiao Festival.In the past, for children's birthdays, apart from the big day when they were one year old, the rest of the day was just a family gathering for a meal, at most it was to make some clothes for the children, or to give a small gift or something like that. .

But this year...

Luo Yunrui didn't know if she could still celebrate Brother Tai's birthday in the future.

"Mother, I want to go to the temple to worship."

Since Taige's loss, Luo Yunrui has never left the Qin family again. Firstly, her mood has been unstable, and secondly, she dare not take her two brothers out again.On the contrary, she didn't believe in Buddhism very much, but after the accident, she would burn incense and worship Buddha every day, praying for her brother Tai to come back quickly, even if it would shorten her life, she would be willing.

This day was the first time she asked to go out since the accident two months ago.

Qin Shaotian was not at home, apart from her two elder brothers, only the old lady of the Qin family was with her.If before the accident, Luo Yunrui didn't have to say hello to anyone else if she wanted to leave home, she naturally had the right to choose where to go and where to go.But since the accident...

After hesitating for a long time, the old lady of the Qin family finally nodded.Although she was not at ease, she couldn't see Luo Yunrui nestling in the room all day, except for going to the second gate every evening to wait for Qin Shaotian, when she was beside her, she was completely decadent.

The temples are all on the outskirts of the city, and it is already noon now, so it is naturally impossible to start immediately. Generally, when going to temples, you will choose to start before dawn in the morning.

Luo Yunrui didn't want to set off immediately, even if she was worried that Brother Tai's mood would be unstable, it was impossible for her to act too outrageously.This is also the reason why the old lady of the Qin family agreed, she could only think of telling Qin Shaotian at night to let Qin Shaotian go with Luo Yunrui tomorrow.

At night, when Qin Shaotian heard about this, he just nodded silently.

The old lady of the Qin family sighed, and finally couldn't help but persuaded: "I am also very heartbroken when Brother Tai is lost, but you can't be so depressed. Rui'er is not a man, and her son who was born in October just disappeared for no reason. Now, she is sad and she is in pain, what you have to do is to let her get out of this pain, instead of suffering with her, or even despair."

Qin Shaotian still didn't open his mouth. In the past two months, except for the first three months when he was full of anxiety, in the next one and a half months, he almost gave up the hope of searching. Most of the subsequent searches were initiated by relatives and friends. Of course, the Qin family His servants still set out every day before dawn and did not return until curfew.

"Shaotian! You are a man, you are the pillar of the family, anyone can be decadent, anyone can be cowardly, but you can't!" The old lady of the Qin family roared, she really couldn't help it: "Back then you When my father passed away, how did you tell me? You said, there is still you at home, tell me not to be too sad, and the days to come will definitely get better and better!"

"Mother! This is different, this is completely different!" Qin Shaotian finally spoke, but as he spoke, tears also fell: "Father died, I am very sad, but things are doomed, no matter how much I How sad it is to be sad, is it possible to bring my father back to life? This is impossible! Even if I can’t accept something that will never happen, I will eventually choose to accept it, but what about Tag? Where is he? He is hungry now Will it still be cold, will you be afraid, will you cry to find your parents..."

Thinking of Tai Ge'er's current situation, Qin Shaotian could hardly speak.

"I know, I know, Taige is your son, so why not my grandson? I would rather be the one who lost today, I would rather lay down my old life and hope that Taige will be healthy Come back to us! Shaotian...I really..."

"Mother, I'm sorry." Suppressing his grief, Qin Shaotian still opened his mouth to comfort the old lady of the Qin family: "I'm useless, I didn't take good care of Brother Tai, I didn't fulfill my father's responsibility, I'm sorry, you're sorry Ruier, I'm even more sorry, Brother Tai!"
