The night did not stop, and most of them were exhausted, but none of the two principals on the hill, whether it was Guo Dalang of the Guo family or Zheng Jing of the Zheng family, said to stop or retreat.

The sound of hoeing and digging outside has never stopped, and the diggers have been rotated several times.

In the shed, the tung oil lamp was lit overnight, Guo Dalang and Zheng Jing, the two sat opposite each other, described as haggard, full of tiredness, but their eyes were extremely bright, staring at a few letters on the desk, looking at them for a long time, the letters were sent by the two prefectures, and they were about the ground movement at noon yesterday and the latest military information in Xinzheng.

Both of them are the eldest sons in the family, and they began to contact the general affairs very early, accepting guests and leading the tribe.

“…… Where the center of the earth movement is, I am afraid that it will take a few days to read the newspapers in various places to know. "In the whole of Yuzhou, according to the information from the inquiry, there was a slight movement, some houses collapsed, some mountain slopes, and there were casualties.

However, the most affected is the confrontation between the southeast of Xinzheng, Beiyan and Shizhao.

Guo Dalang glanced up at Zheng Jing, "Let's go out." "At this time, nothing has been found, and hope is very slim.

Zheng Dalang hesitated, stroked his forehead with his hand, and didn't get up immediately, his uncle sent someone to let him and Gorou go back to the house, probably because he was afraid that Gorou would be left alone here, he wasn't there, San Lang couldn't watch it, and he didn't know what happened to Goro, just go back with him, Gorou was afraid that he wouldn't be willing.

It's just that in the end, he got up, and before going out, he called Hou Yi in and gave a few words before leaving the shed.

The east is white, and the morning star twinkles and hangs in the sky.

Looking at the scene ahead, the fire was bright, but there was still no trace of discovery, Zheng Jing's heart also sank completely, it has been so long, even if he digs something, I am afraid that it will not be alive, and the appearance of Shi Niang appeared in his mind, and he suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

He is like this, let alone a wild slave.

Zheng Jing raised his eyes, and saw Anu sitting on the ground full of earth and stones, staring blankly ahead, his expression revealing wordless sadness, although Anu kept saying that Xixi would be fine, but Anu has always been smart, what he can think of, how could Anu not think of it, but he doesn't want to believe it.

The two of them passed, Guo Balang turned around and called out to Brother, Zheng Wei didn't even move, as if at this moment, in his eyes, there was only the soil and stone in front of him.

Guo Dalang looked at Guo Balang, who was up, his expression was solemn, and he ordered in a deep voice, "After dawn, you go to Liu's house in Hedong and bring Sister A's eldest daughter and eldest lady to live at home for a while." "Sister A's eldest daughter is one year older than her sister Sanniangzi, although the two are separated by generations and are called aunts and nephews, they look very similar, more like sisters, and because of this, A-Niang especially likes the eldest mother of A-sister's family.

When Guo Balang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood, and still asked, "Is this appropriate?"

"What's wrong, there is a big lady by A-Niang's side, and she can persuade A-Niang to do one or two. Guo Dalang frowned, and glared at Guo Balang slightly, the third lady was brought out by the Wei family, and if the third lady had an accident, I am afraid that the Wei family would not be able to escape accountability, and now he can only think of this method for the time being, let the eldest lady of the sister family act as a buffer, otherwise unless he can find the safe and intact third lady.

Guo Balang saw it and hurriedly answered yes.

Suddenly, Zheng Wei on the side turned his head, looked at Zheng Jing, and asked, "Brother, are you going back?"

Although he asked, his tone was firm.

Zheng Jing nodded, "There is something in the house, you come with me, and Saburo stays here." ”

"I'm not leaving. Zheng Wei quickly stood up, his voice excited.

"Anu. Zheng Jing called, his tone was stern, but looking at Zheng Wei, who was pale, his eyes were full of panic, and there was an indescribable worry, for a while, all the rebukes were swallowed in his throat, and he couldn't say a word, the brothers looked at each other, for the first time, Zheng Jing was defeated, and he turned his head first, and his voice eased a lot," Anu, Brother Wei didn't say that he would give up and continue to dig, these people still stay here and continue to search, and when they go back, we will send more people over, even if this mountain is bulldozed, we will find out Xixi, as for this, just stay Saburo and Wen Weng to guard here, there is really something in the house, you go back to the house with me first. ”

"The matter of the house that Brother said is the war between Beiyan and Shi Zhao in the southeast of Xinzheng. Zheng Wei looked away, "Brother don't worry, I won't mess around." "Regarding this war, the five families in Xingyang have not yet reached an agreement, whether they are partial to the family, or are they still in a neutral situation?

But for the Zheng family, neutrality seems somewhat impossible.

The confrontation had already begun, so it was urgent to reach an agreement and convene all the castes in Xingyang to discuss together.

He is not as weak as the crown, to participate in such a conference, and he does not have much right to speak, and now the people in power are still the older generation, so they can participate or not, but the eldest brother must participate, he is like a mirror in his heart, the eldest brother ordered him to go home together, but he was worried that after the eldest brother left, no one could control him.

Zheng Jing didn't intend to hide anything, there was no surprise that Zheng Wei could guess his true purpose, seeing that Zheng Wei was absolutely impossible to leave voluntarily, so he raised his head and glanced at Hou Yi next to him, but Hou Yi just raised his hand, and when he slashed at the back of Zheng Wei's neck, suddenly there was an exclamation from there, full of joy in excitement, "Found it, found it, there is someone here." ”

This sound, like a heavenly sound, came into everyone's ears, and everyone stopped what they were doing, including Hou Yi, who looked forward in unison, under the firelight, under the steep rock wall, many people gathered, Zheng Wei rushed over with an arrow, and then, Zheng Jing and Guo Dalang and Guo Balang also quickly passed.

Ready to speak, it is no longer a person, but a dead corpse, Zheng Wei rushed in, and saw clearly that person at a glance, it was Zheng Sui and the little maid Shulan in front of him, his eyes were closed, his face was all purple and blue, and there was an incision on the calf of his left leg, but there was no blood clotting, obviously, this was shoveled by a hoe.

I only looked at a big man squatting down, tried his breath, and said in a low voice: "This little girl has been dead for a long time." "It's cold.

Zheng Wei trembled all over, and his hands were clenched into fists.

Similarly, when Zheng Jing and the two Lang Jun of the Guo family who came behind him heard this, their hearts were shocked at the same time, although they had expected it, but when they saw this dead maid, their hearts were still sad.

After all, after an afternoon and a night of searching, I finally found a person.

If you can find a person, then Shi Niang and San Niang must be around here.

Thinking of this, looking at the incision in the calf of this maid, Zheng Jing suddenly shouted, "Stop the hoe and iron rake in your hand, and dig into it with your hands along the position where this maid is." ”

Guo Da, Guo Ba and Zheng Wei turned their heads and glanced at Zheng Jing at the same time, and they also thought at the same time.

Since it's too late, at least make sure to keep a whole corpse, Zheng Jing thought like this, glanced at the maid, and then ordered: "It is also the mourning of the protector, let's bury it thickly, and go back to compensate her family with more cloth and corn." ”

Rushing over, Wen Weng hurriedly answered, and soon someone came to carry Shulan's body.
