Volume 1 The Mist of the Green Mountains Chapter 23 Missing

The fifth woman is very happy today, although today Shanding Temple into the incense, accidentally fell and broke her leg, but unexpectedly saw the best doctor in the city, not only her old cold leg for many years is expected to be cured, but also gave her daughter medicine. Thinking that it would not be long before her daughter would be able to run and play in the sun like other children, the fifth woman's face bloomed with a smile.

Back at Sunjiawa, the sun had set, and under the insistence of the five mothers-in-law, several teenagers had to stay for one night. Seeing that the five mothers have inconvenient legs and feet, and her daughter Fluttershy looks pale, she heard that the five women said that like the white lotus, they have the same symptoms of yin and cold, so they take the initiative to ask Ying to make a fire and cook for everyone.

Everyone sent the five women back, and many villagers came forward to greet them along the way, and learned that the five women were injured, and at this time they sent food and herbs, and the old tears of the five women were moved. Erya boiled medicine for the mother and daughter, and some of the teenagers chopped firewood and washed vegetables, each of them working for Erya. After a while, the aroma of pheasants and bacon brought by the neighbors spread in the small courtyard. After a day of running, not only did they see the injuries and illnesses of the five women, but also the symptoms of the white lotus seemed to be cured, and they couldn't help but feel good, and this meal was extremely sweet.

Zhang Caiting got up early in the morning and took the maid Xiaoxia to the street to buy, today the son of the Cheng family will bring his parents to visit, and the two families will agree on the marriage date today.

Zhang Caiting has been delicate since she was a child, and her father heard that the marriage sign of Shanding Temple was very effective, so he went to calculate it for his daughter, saying that it was signed. Originally, Zhang Caiting didn't take it to heart, and didn't want her father to come back from the temple, so she took herself to the Huanhua Pavilion to see the disease, and after taking a few pairs of medicines, the originally delicate body really got better day by day, and now seeing that the marriage is about to be decided, Zhang Caiting is very happy and a little nervous. Cheng Lang's parents have not seen them themselves, and they don't know if they are satisfied with themselves.

was thinking wildly, suddenly heard Xiaoxia shouting hello, Zhang Caiting followed the prestige, saw Xiaoxia standing next to the old woman beckoning to herself, and took a closer look, an old woman was sitting on the side of the street, in front of a square cloth, on which some pickles were being sold. Although it is about to reach the solar term of the beginning of spring, the sky does not see the slightest warmth, it has just snowed two days ago, and it has not melted now, and it has been walked by pedestrians and cars on the street, and the white and bright mirror is general. The old woman's pickles were surrounded by snow, white, red, green, and yellow, colorful and beautiful.

"Miss, you see that embroidered dress is so beautiful. Xiaoxia pointed to a piece of clothing next to the pickles, her eyes lit up.

If it weren't for Xiaoxia's reminder, Zhang Caiting wouldn't have cared about it, and when she looked at the embroidered dress again, she couldn't take her eyes off it. The embroidered clothes are made of unknown things, light as yarn, and only a few plum blossoms are sparsely embroidered on it, and the plum blossoms will not bloom, and a few tender stamens are faintly revealed in the petals that have not yet bloomed. Zhang Caixia looked at the embroidered dress and seemed to smell a faint fragrance of flowers.

Although the Zhang family is not wealthy, Zhang Caixia has had no shortage of food and clothing since she was a child, but she has never seen such elegant and beautiful clothes. After a long time, the master and servant made up their minds, and then looked at the old woman, who didn't seem to pay attention to the expressions of the two, and still kept serving the two of them some pickles to taste, a pair of wrinkled hands were already red, swollen and cracked, and Zhang Caixia's heart was sour, thinking that if her grandmother was alive, she would be at such an age.

Thinking like this, Zhang Caixia had already handed over an ingot of silver. When the old woman saw the silver, she was a little panicked, and after a series of excuses, she kept asking the two if they had any broken silver taels or copper coins, Zhang Caixia remembered that poor people like the old woman did not have the money to return themselves, and she was hesitating, and suddenly saw the embroidered clothes again, and couldn't help but be happy.

"Mother-in-law, why don't you sell me that embroidered garment as well? I like this embroidered garment very much, and I don't have to look for it if I count this embroidered garment and this ingot of silver. Zhang Caixia looked at the old woman with hopeful eyes.

The old woman hesitated slightly, her eyes wandered for a moment between the embroidered clothes and the silver clothes, and then she made up her mind, put away the silver clothes, carefully wrapped the pickles and embroidered clothes, picked up the burden and followed the two, and walked towards the Zhang family.

The White Lotus came out of the tailor's shop today is more than half of the time, and since she took the medicine prescribed by the beautiful woman named Situ Xiu in Huanhuatang, her body is getting better day by day, so she wants to do some work within her power to share some livelihood for her father. Although she had done embroidery for a day, White Lotus was in a good mood, holding a dozen copper coins in her hand, thinking about passing by the butcher shop for a while, cutting catties of meat and bringing them back. Two days ago, Fluttershy, the daughter of the Fifth Mother, brought some pickles that the Fifth Lady had pickled herself, and fried them with meat that could be stored for a long time. After the beginning of the Spring Festival, Brother Qing'er and they were about to leave for the Shanwu exam, and they happened to take it on the way. Thinking like this, White Lotus couldn't help but hum a song.

A few days ago, Big Snot accompanied Erya out to buy some gifts for White Lotus and Fu Bo, and locked himself in his room all day to study, and only saw people during meals. Li Qing and the others helped Fu Bo with some chores. Seeing that it was not early, Li Qing stacked the firewood he had just chopped, greeted Fu Bo, and went out to greet the White Lotus. Fauber replied with a smile and nodded. Although these little guys are from the mountains, they are knowledgeable and courteous, and they are honest in bringing people, and the young lady has no playmates since she was a child, and since a few teenagers came here, the smile on her face has not been broken every day.

Li Qing went out and greeted him all the way along Zhehua Lane and Willow Tree Street, and he didn't see the white lotus for a long time. When he arrived at the tailor's shop and asked, he said that he had been walking for half an hour, Li Qing couldn't help but feel nervous, and looked for it along the way he came, but there was still no trace of the White Lotus. When he saw Fauber, he also said that he did not see the young lady come back. Baifu immediately blew up the pot, and several teenagers, together with servants and maidservants, went out to look for them separately, and even the big snot who had been warming books all day also put books and rushed to help. Everyone found it until midnight, and almost searched the streets and alleys from the Bai family to the tailor's shop, and there was no trace of the white lotus.

As soon as the morning dawned, Li Qing and several people accompanied the Fu Bolai County Government to report the case, and as the official had just entered the door, a young girl came to him, which was the blue-clothed girl he met when he rescued the old woman in Shanding Temple that day.

When the girl saw everyone, she asked about the situation, waved off the servants, and walked to the backyard with everyone herself. The county government is not big, saying that it is a backyard, but it is separated by a corner door. Through the corner door, into a wider house, in the middle of the house sat a blue-shirted scholar, who was immersed in copywriting, heard the sound, looked up and saw that it was a girl, and immediately greeted him with a smile.

As soon as the girl in blue saw the scholar, she hurriedly stepped forward and pulled it in front of the teenagers, and before the teenagers could speak, the girl had already explained the matter clearly.

The scholar smiled, looked at the girl, and waited until the girl finished speaking, then he asked the young man and Fubo, and when he saw that it was consistent with what the girl said, he called the official to call the county's head catcher Chen Pengshan to come.

This is a medium-sized and swarthy man, who has been running around all the year round and carved a mark on the man's face prematurely, and his temples have also seen hoarfrost.

Although the man was full of weather, his eyes were extremely sharp, Li Qing and the others were swept away by him, and he felt that the whole person was seen through by him. After listening to what the scholar said, the man bowed, turned around and beckoned everyone to go down and make a note one by one, and then asked everyone to go home and wait, without saying a word.
