Chapter 429: To the Island Country
"Pedal ......"
A rush of footsteps came from the back door.
Mu Chen's eyes were slightly condensed, and he was about to exude perception.
Sakurako had already burst into tears and laughed, wiped her tears and ran towards the back door, while not forgetting to explain to Mu Chen: "Mu San, it's the footsteps of my parents, they're back, they're fine." ”
The tone was full of joy.
After a while, Sakurako walked in with two middle-aged men and women, both of whom were about sixty years old, their faces were full of wrinkles, their temples were white, and they were wearing ordinary clothes, which were irregularly covered with a lot of mud, not like farm work, but like feet, which were hidden in a narrow space.
"There is a situation!"
Mu Chen's eyes narrowed, and he quickly found that the eyes of Sakurako's adoptive parents were indeed full of uneasy expressions, as if there was some terrifying beast around them.
"Sakurako, aren't you at school, why did you come back suddenly, and you don't have classes today?" Sakurako's adoptive father asked eagerly.
"Dad, don't worry, I didn't skip class, I came back with my friends to see you. Sakurako smiled sweetly, then pointed to the mess around strangely, and wondered, "Dad, what's going on, is it that our family has been robbed?"
The adoptive father took Sakurako's hand and hurriedly walked out, "These are all small things, I'll tell you when I have time, now leave here with me first." ”
"Leave, where are you going to take me?" Sakurako finally realized that something was wrong, her pretty face changed slightly, and asked, "Mom and Dad, is something happening, there are bad people trying to harm us?"
The faces of the adoptive parents changed, and they looked at Sakurako nervously and said, "What, have they already come to you?"
"Who are they?" Mu Chen asked suddenly.
The adoptive parents were worried about Sakurako, but at this time they found that there were outsiders present, and their expressions suddenly became vigilant, staring at Mu Chen vigilantly.
"Dad, he is a very good friend of mine, and he has come to see you with me this time. Sakurako hurriedly explained.
The adoptive parents were a little relieved, kept looking Mu Chen up and down, and asked, "Boyfriend?"
Sakurako just wanted to speak, but said no.
Mu Chen has already taken the lead and said: "Yes, I am Sakurako's boyfriend, my name is Mu Chen, and I have met my uncle and aunt." ”
Sakurako turned her head and looked at him suspiciously, as if she didn't understand why he was lying to her adoptive parents.
Mu Chen secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.
Judging from the current situation, Sakurako's adoptive parents have obviously been in a state of high mental tension, with a sense of being a soldier, and any approach from a stranger will cause them to be alert.
If Mu Chen wants to get useful information from them, he must first win their trust.
And becoming Sakurako's boyfriend is undoubtedly the fastest and most effective way.
Sure enough, the adoptive parents' expressions relaxed at once, and they smiled enthusiastically, "It turned out to be Sakurako's boyfriend, I'm really sorry, I was in a bit of a mess just now, and I didn't welcome you in time, I'm really sorry." ”
"We, Sakurako, thank you for your care at school. The adoptive mother took Mu Chen's hand and said gratefully, looking very enthusiastic.
Mu Chen secretly shouted again and again, and he didn't dare to be ashamed.
"Since you're Sakurako's boyfriend, you're not an outsider, so you can come along. The adoptive father said.
So the four of them left the house, turned left and right, and came to a corner of the wall.
The adoptive father removed the cement slab on it and took the lead in slowly climbing down.
Then Sakurako, adoptive mother, and Mu Chen, and then the cement slab was resealed.
Mu Chen had already known what was going on below through his perception, so he didn't have any surprised expression when he went down.
Sakura looked like Grandma Liu entering the grand view.
In fact, it is just a kiln, hiding some food and water, and there is nothing unusual about it.
After entering the kiln, the adoptive parents relaxed a lot, poured a glass of water for Mu Chen and Sakura, and then sat there silently.
Mu Chen knew that he must be organizing the language, how to explain the ins and outs of the matter to them.
Therefore, Mu Chen waited for a while before asking, "Uncle, can you tell us what happened, who are they you just mentioned, and what does it have to do with Sakura?"
The adoptive father glanced at Sakurako and hesitated: "Actually, I don't know who they are, but twelve years ago, when we picked up Sakurako, they appeared, and they were full of their people, searching for Sakurako everywhere, and there was a lot of commotion, and even the police didn't dare to care." ”
"I saw that they were aggressive, and it was obvious that they wanted to harm Sakurako, so we immediately sold the house and moved to Huaxia so that Sakurako would not be found. ”
"After so many years of being safe, I thought it was over, but I didn't expect them to reappear and find out where we lived. I saw that the situation was not right, so I immediately hid in this kiln. ”
"Originally, I wanted to call Sakurako and ask her not to come back, but I didn't expect to hear Sakurako's name being shouted outside just now, so I hurried out. That's pretty much the whole thing. ”
"So Mom and Dad immigrated because of me?" said Sakurako's eyes were slightly red, and she bit her lip lightly.
"Silly child, your mother and I have been distressed that there are no children, your appearance is an angelic existence for us, even if we work harder, what is there. The adoptive father smiled lovingly.
The adoptive mother also smiled kindly and stroked Sakura's hair: "For so many years, thanks to you, we have been living happily, child, we should thank you." ”
Sakurako's eyes were red, and she was choked and speechless, hugging her adoptive parents tightly.
Mu Chen looked at them silently, his brows furrowed slightly.
It is certain that the people who wanted to arrest Sakurako and her adoptive parents last night were the same group that wanted to arrest Sakurako twelve years ago, and they were a family, organization, or force in the island country where an onmyoji existed, and the background was unknown for the time being.
But it is highly likely that they are the ones who know Sakurako's true identity and origin!
This is where Mu Chen's heart really moves!
Instead of working hard to find clues without a clue, it is better to find out the truth directly through them, so as to retrieve Sakurako's memory.
Aren't they going to arrest people?
Then let them catch it!
And it took the initiative to send it to the door!
"It's not a way for us to hide like this after all, Sakurako, do you want to do it with me?"
Mu Chen asked Sakurako.
"What's the big deal?"
Sakurako said confusedly.
"Of course, it's a thrilling and fun affair, but you have to be bold enough to trust me completely, and no matter what happens, you have to trust me to solve it perfectly. ”
"How about it, dare to play Feng with me?"
Mu Chen was in high spirits and said with a smile.
