Seeking Happiness Chapter 105: Hidden love

Shu Huan got up and poured another cup of tea for Gu Xiran. This time, there was no reminder, so she quietly waited for him to say.

Gu Xiran took care of Du Qiu’s words in his mind: "The uncle Tiaoxin has always been idle, and he has everything to eat, drink, and gambling. As long as he has money in his hand, he must spend all his energy, and then he will reach out and ask his elder brother for money. She stole the things from the family before she got it. The reason why her family is so poor is that it has nothing to do with her uncle’s arbitrary profligacy. The villagers who knew about it would scold it, saying that if it weren’t for the delightful father, it was everywhere. Maintained and guarded carefully, his house has long been sold and the only two mu of Susukino."

"Then when her father died, wouldn't his uncle be left alone?"

Gu Xiran nodded: "It was good at the beginning. His uncle swore before his father died that he would not be gambling in this life, but this addiction is so easy to quit. He endured it for a few months and couldn’t bear the gambling. The yin* of the disciple was still a family gambling. At first he won some money, but he didn’t know it was the yin* trick that gamblers used to do. He just wanted to appreciate his luck even though his father and his mother were defeated. Therefore, it’s good for Taste. She even cut some new clothes for her during the New Year. But then the more bet she loses, the more she loses, the more she gambles, and she treats all the things in the house, even the house and the field. ."

Every gambler who is deeply addicted to gambling has a mentality similar to the doomsday carnival. Until the mountains and rivers are exhausted, there is no gambling and will not stop. The following things, Shu Huan can guess how many things: "He Have you exported all your pleasures?"

"Yeah." Gu Xiran lowered his head and took a sip of water: "It would be okay if it was just exported. It might be miserable to be resold, but if it can be sold to a benevolent family as a maid, it is better than following her uncle."

Shu Huan frowned and said: "What else happened?"

"I don't know." Gu Xiran shook his head: "The villagers privately believed that she had been sold secretly, but her uncle kept shouting injustice, saying that he hid the last bit of food in the family with pleasure, and ran away in the middle of the night. A half-year-old child who has no money on her body can go where she can go? But she was not found anywhere, so she was counted as a strange missing person in Shadowyue Village."

Shu Huan tightened her brows and groaned: "We met Pleasure on the mountain, so she is sure to run away, but whether it was taken by her uncle to pay off the debt or escaped before the debt was paid off. What?"

"Before." Gu Xiran gave the answer with certainty: "Her uncle probably didn't lie, but I think he has hidden feelings."

"How was it inferred?"

"The night she disappeared, someone saw that his uncle was drunk and staggered back. The next morning, a villager found that the door of their stove was not closed, and her uncle fell drunk to the ground and fell asleep. With a fire stick, the pot of water sitting on the stove is almost to the bottom. Seeing that no one is watching. If the firewood in the stove is not burned out, it will be caused if it is not clear. The fire is coming."

Shu Huan was silent.

Gu Xiran went on to say: "The key is that when he was pushed awake, he scolded the whole room to look for pleasure, but he didn't find it, and found that the only food in the family was missing. This I just insisted that the appreciation was to sneak away while he was drunk. Later, it was him who found someone the most diligent."

"How can I do it if I don't find it diligently? Everyone is sent out. When looking back, those gamblers come to ask someone. Isn't it bad that he can't hand it over?" Shu Huan rarely showed a sarcasm, and it can be inferred that it would be a pleasure to escape. What happened afterwards, I felt a sense of relief, but I still had doubts: "But this can only prove that he didn't lie, what about the secret? From the scene you just described, it can only be inferred. Pleasure is a hasty escape."

Gu Xiran smiled slightly: "Her uncle goes out during the day to gamble and fool around, and he often goes back at night. Why doesn't she take advantage of the inconvenient time at night when there is no one at home?"

"The day his uncle was drunk, is he going to export his heart to the day, right?"

Gu Xiran nodded.

"Maybe I was afraid that I was going to be sent to the gamblers tomorrow, so I ran away while her uncle was too drunk."

This time, Gu Xiran shook his head.

Shu Huan frowned: "Is there a loophole in my inference?"

Gu Xiran raised the corners of her lips slightly: "It's not a loophole, just think about her situation when we met Piaoxin."

Shu Huan lowered her head and thought about it: "She was afraid of contacting people. At that time, I thought she must have been greatly stimulated, but compared with the current situation, there is nothing wrong with it. She was afraid of being sent home after going down the mountain. The reaction of desperately struggling and refusing to follow us is also normal."

"Well, only one thing is not normal." Gu Xiran smiled: "She is not too afraid of you."

Shu Huan was taken aback, and then said: "I seem to be the least threatening, not to mention that I am a woman just like her, and get along more naturally. Don't forget, this is the age when men and women are more important than they are. ."

Gu Xiran made no right or wrong, but lowered her eyes and said: "There are details. She ran away with water on the stove. She hurried to the point where the flame was not turned off. In case the water dries out, it will cause a fire. But the house her father left behind, not to mention her uncle who is still drunk on the ground, is not good to her, but it is related by blood."

Shu Huan lowered her head and thought again, her wrinkled head tightened and tightened: "What do you want to infer?"

"There is still a hidden story."

"You mean she was afraid of men approaching... and something must have happened at the time that made her forget about other things, only knowing the situation of escaping..." There is no problem with clues alone. However, according to Care Xiran's prompt, she inferred a sufficiently shocking conclusion.

Shu Huan raised her eyes suddenly: "No? You see that she even took away the leftover food at home. This shows that the situation was not particularly urgent at the time. As for the water on the stove, it is very fundamental. She forgot to turn off the flame..."

Gu Xiran raised her eyebrows~IndoMTL.com~ Touched her chin and said, "I just think it's possible, I didn't say it must be, but the place where the fire stick fell is quite strange. It happened to be her uncle. Beside."

"Gu Xiran..." Shu Huan was a little depressed: "Your inference is a bit gloomy. This is the ancient times with strict ethics. They are blood relatives and the relationship between uncles and nephews. The most important thing is that they are not the same as Xiaosi. It’s almost old, isn’t her uncle that way?"

"He is not enough?" Gu Xiran sighed slightly: "I also hope that this kind of inference is that I thought too darkly, but her uncle was really not a good person, and the group of gamblers didn't want to be there afterwards. After beating him, he received his lease and land deed and drove him out of the house, and ordered him to find someone or pay back the money within half a year. He had to live in a ruined temple in front of the village and earn two coppers for helpers every day. Just like that, I didn’t see any regrets from him. With money, he would either drink or gamble. When he was drunk, he would curse and appreciate his heart, saying that if he caught her, she would die."

"It's really a scumbag fighter..." Shu Huan cursed in a low voice, stood up suddenly, raised his face and said: "You can't send it back if you appreciate your heart, then I want her, you think of a way Buy it for me, lest her uncle knows about it, come to ask for it, we are not good at keeping people forcibly."

Gu Xiran nodded and said nothing.
