“What’s the matter?”
“…It’s about my Second Sister.”
Liu Sisi sat down on the chair again and gently recounted the story of Liu Zhi’er.
Starting with the man surnamed Dong, to Old Man Li, and then to the divorce, Liu Sisi didn’t hide any details from Zuo Xingyu, except for some details that were not appropriate to tell others. She understood that it was better to tell him everything clearly, which seemed more sincere than letting him investigate on his own.
“…My Second Sister has suffered so much, and now she has finally escaped the fire pit, but she can’t let go of Er Mao and San Mao, the two children sold by her own father. I don’t ask for much, just that you keep an eye out and inform me as soon as you have any news about the two children.”
At first, Zuo Xingyu was filled with resentment, but as Liu Sisi spoke, his anger subsided bit by bit. He pondered for a moment.
“Aren’t you afraid that I, Zuo someone, will promise you openly, but secretly not help you find the children?”
Liu Sisi smiled faintly: “Just because you said that, I know that you are not that kind of person, aren’t you?”
Zuo Xingyu looked deeply into Liu Sisi’s eyes, a flash of admiration crossing his gaze.
“Hehe… Alright! Since you trust Zuo someone so much, I accept this task! I promise I will do my best to find Er Mao and San Mao and bring them back to you. Now, isn’t it time for you to tell me who you are looking for?”
“Actually, I have no idea who you’re looking for!”
Liu Sisi spread her hands open, finally telling the truth.
Zuo Xingyu’s face changed, and he asked through gritted teeth!
“You!… Are you playing me?”
Liu Sisi laughed and stood up: “However, I can tell you in detail about what happened on the way up Heilong Mountain and the people I met along the way, as well as what happened on the day of the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet. Whether you can find clues from that information is now up to you!”
Zuo Xingyu:
By the time Zuo Xingyu left the Di family on horseback, it was already dark. Di Yelei and the others had not returned yet.
Old Mr. Di, worried, slowly moved out of the courtyard with his crutch, looked out in the distance several times at the crossroads, but still saw no one, before returning in disappointment.
Liu Sisi was tutoring Ah-Juan and Ah-Min in their studies, supervising their handwriting and arithmetic. Her thoughts, however, flew far away, as she carefully recalled her conversation with Zuo Xingyu, wondering if she had missed anything.
It wasn’t until late in the night, when Ah-Juan’s elder brother came to pick them up, that Liu Sisi realized how much time had passed.
Looking at her Second Sister, who was quietly sewing shoes on one side, and Da Mao, who was sitting quietly without laughing or making noise, Liu Sisi gently touched Da Mao’s head: “Second Sister, today I asked Zuo Xingyu to help us find Er Mao and San Mao. Although Ye Lei is already looking for them, having an extra person help is always a good thing. I believe we should get some good news soon.”
“I know, I heard it all.”
The tone of Liu Zhi’er’s voice was very light, like talking about a stranger she didn’t know.
How much did she hear?
“You didn’t lower your voice when talking to him, and I was sitting at the doorway embroidering. How could I not hear?” Liu Zhi’er’s tone was as calm as ever.
“Second Sister!…”
Liu Sisi quickly grabbed her hand: “Second Sister, are you blaming me for telling him about your situation? He is a constable, even if I hadn’t told him today, he would have found out within two days…”
“I know! I know you’re doing it for my sake, to help me find Er Mao and San Mao.”
