Chapter 194: Doubts about Oak City

Hongtang drove his horse to Zhai Keyheng's side, glanced at the carriage behind him, and asked suspiciously.

Zhai Keyheng didn't speak with a dark face, he also wanted to know, what Mo Xianxiang meant by this move, he was ruthless to Qi'er in the martial arts arena yesterday, he could look at Qi'er's face and not worry about her, did he think that he couldn't see that she was against Qi'er?

"Oh, I said that you are too eyeless to see, don't you see that Jian Heng is in a bad mood now?

After Zhai Keyheng drove the horse-drawn carriage past, Hongtang shook off Gu Xuren's hand holding his arm and asked:

"What's wrong? Why don't you let me ask? I also want to ask why Xiao Qi'er didn't get into my carriage!"

Gu Xuren put on an expression of I don't bother to pay attention to you, so he really ignored him and walked in front of Hongtang by himself.

"You don't know what is in that carriage?" Gu Xuren rolled his eyes, expressing disdain for his lack of self-knowledge.

"Isn't it just all of us's luggage!What's this, Xiao Qi'er is so generous, she won't mind!" Hongtang stiffened his neck, completely unaware of his mistake.

But then Gu Xuren's words made him fall into an ice cave, and two basins of cold water were poured on him.

"If she really doesn't mind as you say, then why did she turn around and get into Mo Xianlu's carriage instead of yours?"

Hongtang didn't take Gu Xuren's words seriously at first, but only thought that he was sensational and because he liked Xiao Qi'er and he wanted to make it difficult for him to retreat, so he deliberately deceived his own words.

But after listening to Gu Xuren's last rhetorical question, he pondered for a long time, yes, why did you say Xiao Qi'er didn't get into his carriage?

The car drove for half a day, and then arrived at the oak city, and they came to the inn where they stayed last time, after four years, the oak city seems to be much more deserted than four years ago.

In the past, the streets here were filled with passing merchants, and even the inns were often full, which was indeed much more deserted than four years ago.

"Hey, guest officer, do you want to stay in a hotel?" As soon as a few people entered the inn, a small servant ran over and asked.

"Hey, why are you? The original boss, why isn't he here?"

"Oh, guest officer, be quiet, be quiet!" The little guy seemed to have heard something very terrible, and he was so frightened that he panicked, and hurriedly waved his hand to make Mo Xianlu lower his voice, as if he would bring some kind of death to himself.

"Hmm, why are you whispering? What's wrong with the original boss?

"Oh, my dear officer, don't talk about it. Oops—" The little servant who heard the words like a talisman again was so frightened that even his tone gradually approached the eunuch in the palace.

even bypassed everyone and ran to close the door tightly, and locked the door latch or something, so he relaxed a little, and said smoothly: "My objectivity, you are new here, right?"

"To be honest, it's true that we're arriving in Oak City for the first time, but we came together four years ago, and the situation at that time was completely different from what we are now, what's wrong?

Zhai Jian stepped forward and clenched his fists and asked, he didn't dare to let Mo Xianlu speak anymore, if he said something wrong, it seemed that he would have to make people angry.

"Oh, oh, you came four years ago, and the accident in this oak city, that is, it started four years ago, and at the beginning, it was the loss of children.

Moreover, it is very evil, at the beginning, it was only the children who cried in the street during the day, and everyone did not dare to take their children out.

After a long time, there were no children lost, but gradually, this changed again, becoming only a child who cried in the middle of the night.

But gradually it doesn't work again, either children under the age of three are lost, or children over five years old, and after a long time, all the children in this oak city have been lost!"

The little guy said sorry, and while shaking his head, he slapped the palm of his left hand with the back of his right hand.

"Lost it all, didn't you look for it?" Mo Xianqi frowned, no wonder they felt that the streets of this oak city were so deserted when they were old, it turned out that there were not only fewer merchants in the past, but also fewer children playing and chasing on the streets.

"How could the family not look for this lost child? But this is also an evil place, and this child disappeared out of thin air.

At first, people thought it was a human trafficker, and they all said that this trafficker was too good at finding the right time, and when the adults were not paying attention, he turned around, or even closed his eyes.

And that's not all! No matter how big the family of this lost child is, how many officials and rich people use, how many connections and how many manpower and material resources are used, this child is stunned, and he has not even found a clue!"

After this little guy finished speaking, everyone fell silent, listening to him say this, this oak city is indeed quite strange, it seems almost beyond the reach of human beings, but if it is not someone behind the ghost, then what else is making waves?

"That'...... What about the original boss? Why is there no one missing? You just said that there are children stealing here, but you didn't say that even adults steal them, right?"

Hongtang touched his smooth chin, and now everyone was full of curiosity about this matter, and they all wanted to know what the truth behind this matter was.

"This child was lost in the first three years, there are no children in the city, and newlyweds don't dare to have children.

Especially young and middle-aged men in their thirties and forties, they lose one every three or five times, and ah, there is no law to lose, our boss, I lost it not long ago.

Later, some people wondered if it was because we talked about this matter, so these adults lost it one after another, so we don't dare to talk about it now.

This is because a few guest officers have just arrived, and the little ones are afraid that a few of them will not understand anything and say the wrong thing, so they will risk their lives to tell you about it. ”

In the end, the little guy sold everyone a good job, and his words revealed his merits, which was nothing more than wanting a reward and making money in business, which is understandable.

"Cheng, I'll stay at your house today. ”
