332. Chapter 331: Pumping Out the Puddle and Looking for the Child? (1/2)

Chapter 331 Pumping the puddle to find children?

Li Duoyu is really one of the two. What's the matter with people nowadays? Everyone wants to have children so much.

It's driving irregularly.

It’s still too much money to burn.

Unlike in later generations, the organization's reputation is so bad that young people are unwilling to get married, let alone have children.

But after thinking about it for a while, I realized that Zhu Dajiao was Li Duoyu's cousin-in-law.

During this time, she finally saw that Li Duoyu was not just a village director, but a real powerhouse.

If you want to arrest his relatives, it is best to notify them first, which can be regarded as a favor to Li Duoyu.

Because of this profession, she offended too many people in the village, and her sons also suffered. In doing so, she could leave a way out for her family.

Seeing that Director Liu came to inform him specially, Li Duoyu thanked him again:

"Director Liu, thank you very much. If you have any trouble in the future, just let me know."

"Then thank you, Director Li."

After Li Duoyu learned the news, he hurried to Li Yuanguang's house. Sure enough, Li Yuanguang had returned from Nanri Town.

Since the uncle and his family separated, he, the second cousin, has rarely been on Dandan Island, and his wife is also from Nanri Town.

Now the family has almost moved there and the children are studying there, so there is only one house left on the island.

His sudden return like this will definitely attract others' attention.

Li Yuanguang seemed a little nervous and surprised by Li Duoyu's arrival.

"Duoyu, why don't you come to my place when you have time? Do you want to have tea with me?"

After speaking, Li Yuanguang immediately started making tea, but he had just washed the teacup.

Li Duoyu asked directly:

"Are you the only one coming back? Hasn't my sister-in-law come back?"

"Well, I'm the only one. Your sister-in-law is still over there in Nanri Town."

Seeing that his second cousin had no intention of telling the truth, Li Duoyu didn't bother to go around with him and said directly:

"Someone has already reported it."

After hearing this, Li Yuanguang became nervous. He lost his grip on the tea cup and fell on the tea tray, almost breaking it.

Seeing his nervous look, Li Duoyu said, "People have already discovered her. There's no point in hiding my sister-in-law. Let's pack up her things and run away."

"Which bastard reported it."

Li Yuanguang was like a deflated rubber ball. He smiled bitterly and said: "Run, where can I run?"

"Duoyu, if there is nothing we can do, we will just abort her. She was conceived by accident anyway."

And at this time.

The bedroom door opened, and a woman with an obvious belly rushed out. She cursed at Li Yuanguang with red eyes:

"I asked you to wear it, but you didn't. When my belly was still small, I told you to take it off, but you didn't want it. Now that it's so big, how do you want me to take it."

Li Yuanguang was scolded so much that he didn't dare to look up at her, and whispered: "But someone discovered me, what can I do?"

Zhu Dajiao burst into tears, but he did not dare to cry out for fear of being heard by neighbors who would come to watch.

Li Duoyu frowned. No wonder they didn't have a third child in their previous life. Unlike his sister, his cousin's belief in having a child was not strong enough.

Li Duoyu is only responsible for delivering the message, and it is up to the two of them to decide whether to have children or not.

"You have to hurry up. Director Liu should bring someone to find you soon."

Seeing his mother-in-law crying like that, Li Yuanguang glanced at her belly and gritted his teeth and said: "Duoyu, please open some letters of introduction for me, and I will take your sister-in-law to hide outside."

Li Duoyu nodded, not thinking that in this life, his second cousin would take the same escape route as his sister in the previous life.

"Yuan Guang, do you have enough money with you?"

"That's enough. We made a lot of money raising oysters in Nanri Town this year. It's no problem to hide outside for half a year."

"That's good."

In less than half an hour, Li Yuanguang and Zhu Dajiao had packed their things.

Li Duoyu drove the two of them to Qingkou Pier in his fishing boat.

From this moment on, the two officially embarked on an "escape journey" for the sake of the child in their belly.

When Li Duoyu returned to the island, it was already evening, but there was a commotion at the pier, and many people were running towards the reef.

Someone else shouted: "Come out, Daishi, there are children drowned in the water."

Seeing that everyone was going in the direction of the reef, Li Duoyu asked a random villager.

"What happened?"

The villager replied: "I just heard that it seems that the grandson of the old Liao family fell into the sky."

"Is it that old Liao from the village committee?"

"Yes, that's him."

Li Duoyu frowned and suddenly felt very tired. One thing happened one after another.

Yixiantian is one of the more dangerous puddles on Dandan Island. The place is very steep and the puddle is very deep.

People died there in the early years. The villagers were very taboo about that place and had long since surrounded it with fences and barbed wire. How come there were still children playing there.

When Li Duoyu came to the Queen of the First Line, he didn't expect that his wife Zhou Xiaoying was also there.

Beside the puddle, there was a woman holding a shoe and a schoolbag in her hands. She was lying next to the puddle and crying heartbrokenly:

"Abao, where are you?"

"Don't scare mom, come out quickly and stop hiding."

In the puddle, Lao Liao and his relatives all held buckets and kept scooping water out. Even Shitou and Zhang Jinsha came to help.

Li Duoyu briefly learned about the situation from Zhou Xiaoying, and then she knew what happened.

Originally, two students did not go to class today. After school, she went to visit the family directly to find out why the children did not go to class.

But the parents said that the children went to school with their schoolbags early in the morning, so Zhou Xiaoying followed the parents of both sides to find the students.

After asking many people, they found out that the children had played in the reef.

But they searched for more than an hour before finding a child.

As a result, when they asked the children why they did not go to school, it turned out that the two children were going to learn from the protagonists in the TV and go to those cliffs to find peerless martial arts.

After hearing this, Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly and remembered a very embarrassing thing.

It seemed that he had done this when he was a child.

At that time, he naively thought that what was said in the comic strip was true, and he clamored to practice the Jade Girl Heart Sutra with Xiaoying.

But when he asked the other child where he was, the child who was found was not very clear. He said that the two of them got separated while playing on the reef, and he thought Xiaobao went home first.

The family of Lao Liao never found the child, but finally found a shoe and a schoolbag in the puddle of the narrow sky.

This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Lao Liao's family.

And the villagers also thought that the child might have fallen into the puddle.

Looking at the puddle in front of him.

Li Duoyu frowned.

Even when it was popular to pump water from the sea in later generations, this place called the "dead man's pit" would require three large pumps and take four or five hours to pump out all the water.

If they used buckets to scoop water, it would be impossible to scoop it out.

One of the people who helped scoop water also found the problem: "How long will it take to scoop water like this?"

"Why don't you call Xiao Chao and ask him to dive into the pit to see if Xiao Bao is in the pit?" "His wife is about to give birth, and you still ask him to do such an unlucky thing."

"I also think we shouldn't call him. If the person is really in the pit, it has been so long, and he would probably be dead long ago."

Li Duoyu went to the eel factory and moved the diesel pump over to help pump water.

But the flow rate of his pump is not large, at most two people can do it.

Many hands make light work.

More than a dozen people kept scooping water out. After about four hours, the seawater in the pit was reduced by half.

But the deeper you go, the harder it is to scoop.

It takes three people to take turns to pour a bucket of water.

As night fell, the crowd of onlookers decreased a lot, and several fires rose around the thin sky, illuminating the surrounding area quite brightly.

The thin sky pit is the kind of pit that goes down diagonally. The whole pit is like a knife, and the deepest part is six or seven meters.

They had used bamboo poles with hooks to fish before, but they had never caught the child. Everyone thought that if the child was really in this narrow gap, it was very likely that he was in the gap between two stones.

"Ouch."

Shitou, who was helping to scoop water, screamed. After hearing the sound, everyone looked at him and shone the flashlight at him.

"Did you find it?"

Shitou had a bitter face: "No, I just wanted to sit down and rest for a while, and my butt seemed to be bitten by something. Can you help me see what bit me?"

When everyone looked at his butt, they found that a stone crab was tightly clamped on him.

"You sat on the stone crab, no wonder it bit you."

"It hurts so much."

"Shitou, you quickly squat your butt in the water, it should loosen up."

After Shitou squatted his butt in the water, the stone crab instantly loosened its claws.

Escaped.

"Fuck, I'll remember you, don't let me catch you later, otherwise, I'll tear off all eight of your legs."

As the sea water in the narrow gap became less and less, many seafood in the pit were stranded.

There was a palm-sized three-knife fish, several red snappers, and more than 20 conchs.

There were also several sea breams and stone crabs, and the most common in this pit should be stone crabs, with one or two in each crack of the stone.

But when they thought that there might be a death in this pit, even if there were a lot of seafood, no one planned to pick them up.

At around 10 o'clock in the evening, there were not many villagers watching, and the remaining ones were all relatives of the missing child.

In the end, even Li Duoyu's diesel engine went on strike, and finally almost all the water in the pit was pumped out.

Only the last half meter deep was left.

Lao Liao directly felt in the puddle, but he didn't find the child.

Li Duoyu thought it would be a good thing if the child was not in the pit.

"But where is the child?"

Just when everyone was wondering where the child had gone, a small figure tiptoed and tried to sneak away from the reef behind.

Li Duoyu happened to see it and shone a flashlight directly over it.

When the little figure was illuminated by the flashlight, he froze in his place.

When everyone saw him, they were all stunned. The child they had been looking for for a long time appeared in front of them, but his face looked a little pale.

Jiao Fanglan, who had fainted from crying several times in the afternoon, recognized him instantly: "Xiaobao?"

When the child saw that everyone was looking at him, he knew that he had made a big mistake and ran away on the spot.

At this time, the head teacher Zhou Xiaoying said in a deep voice: "Xiaobao, stop right there."

After hearing the head teacher's words.

The child really stood there and dared not move.

The child's father rushed out of the puddle and picked up the child like a chicken.

He was so angry that he picked up a thumb-sized stick and pulled down the child's pants.

"I told you not to go to school."

"I told you to be naughty."

"We are looking for you, where can you hide?"

Every time he cursed, Liao Yongchang would hit him hard and broke the stick. He was still not satisfied and untied the belt around his waist.

The child, with tears all over his face and naked bottom, saw that his father was going to continue beating him, so he cried and hid behind his mother.

However, this time, his mother did not help him. Instead, she caught him in front of his father and beat him together.

Seeing that the student was beaten so badly, Zhou Xiaoying frowned and said, "That's enough, that's enough."

Seeing that the head teacher spoke for him, the child hugged the head teacher's thigh tightly.

His parents did not dare to beat him.

After Zhou Xiaoying's questioning, everyone realized that Xiaobao had indeed fallen into the puddle.

But he could crawl a little bit.

But he didn't dare to go back to pick up his schoolbag and shoes, and his whole body was wet, so he ran to the secret base to dry his clothes.

He wanted to sleep in the secret base and go home when he woke up the next day, but he was cold and hungry. On the way back, he happened to see them all pumping the puddle.

Knowing that he had made a big mistake, he wanted to sneak back home, but he was caught.

Seeing that Xiaobao had been hiding behind Zhou Xiaoying, Li Duoyu couldn't help but jokingly asked:

"Xiaobao, have you found the peerless martial arts?"

The child shook his head: "No, but I found a few balloons in the secret base."

"What balloons, let me see."

Xiaobao took the balloons out of his pocket and said: "This balloon is so powerful, it can be blown very big, but the smell is a bit smelly and very unpleasant."

When the child took out the thing, the adults present were silent, and Zhou Xiaoying also blushed a little.

At this time, Shitou, who had just been bitten by a crab, was holding a long object and said to Li Duoyu.

"Brother Yu, I just touched a treasure in the pit."

Li Duoyu looked at it and found that it was covered with layers of barnacles, but if you look carefully, it is indeed metal.

The shape seems to be

"Shitou, stand still."

After Li Duoyu finished speaking, he quickly pulled Zhou Xiaoying and the others back.

"Brother Yu, what are you doing? Is there something wrong with the thing I picked up?"

After arriving at a safe place, Li Duoyu couldn't help but scold: "Are you stupid? You don't even know about bombs, but you still hold it for me to see. Do you want to kill us?"

After hearing this.

Shitou's legs were a little weak: "Brother Yu, what should I do now?"

"What else can I do? Stand still."
