Chapter 202: Finding the Trace
The shopkeeper knew that he couldn't change the old man's mind, and he couldn't explain it clearly, so he could only follow Su Xi's words.
"Yes, yes, the old man is right. ”
Immediately, Su Xi shook his head sadly and said, "Southern Xinjiang is really harmful." As he spoke, his eyes turned red.
The shopkeeper was strange, and hurriedly asked, "Why did the old man say this?" Su Xi's strangeness also provoked the people at the table next to him to look at this side curiously, as if they were very curious about what Su Xi was going to say next.
Su Xi didn't care at all, if someone paid attention, then more people would answer her next questions, which was also Su Xi's original purpose, otherwise, she would rather find a teahouse with fewer people to recuperate, attract less attention, and be more or less safe.
The sadness on Su Xi's face did not diminish at all, and he complained to the shopkeeper with a bitter and hateful look: "My son was just like the boss said in his early years, he went to southern Xinjiang to make some herbs, but there was no return, it has been eight years, my granddaughter asked where her father was, I was sad when I mentioned southern Xinjiang, the child wanted to find her father, and I was a bad old man like me who couldn't do anything about it." ”
The shopkeeper saw that Su Xi was dressed up, holding a simple package, and saw the carriage outside, and seemed to understand something.
"Old man, what is the ...... you are going to southern Xinjiang this time?"
Su Xi wiped his eyes and said: "What else can I do, my granddaughter has been asking for so long, and she always asks me where her father is, and I don't have much time to hide it, it's better to find the child's father before returning to the West, of course it's best to find it, but if you can't find it......"
After the words, Su Xi didn't continue, choked up and sobbed in a low voice, although he was old, he was still stubborn as a man, and he quickly held back his tears.
The shopkeeper and the people on the side couldn't help but sigh when they heard this, and their faces showed sympathy.
Soon, the shopkeeper said to Su Xi: "What does your son look like? I have been running a teahouse here for ten years, these merchants and people in the rivers and lakes, see if they have seen it, I will help you inquire and see." ”
Su Xi was glad that he was not fake, this shopkeeper was really good, and before he could speak, he had already opened his mouth to ask.
Su Xi sniffed, and did not rush to talk about Jing Hao's characteristics, but first expressed his gratitude to the shopkeeper: "Oh, I want to thank you, thank you." As he spoke, Su Xi was about to get up and bow to the shopkeeper.
Where can the shopkeeper stand it, he hurriedly got up and stopped Su Xi, who was about to bow, and said with some embarrassment: "It's just a gesture, can you help or not, the old man must not be like this, it really torments me." Tell me what your son looks like and what his characteristics are."
At this time, a lot of people gathered together, and they all seemed to want to make a contribution to Su Xi's search for a "son", maybe among the people he had come into contact with, there was an old man's son.
Su Xi originally obtained information about Jing Hao through deception, but now that she saw that everyone was so enthusiastic, she was really moved.
Because the Seventh Prince is alone, Su Xi is wary of a lot of people, but they don't know that in this world, there are still many good people. Whether they go south or north, businessmen or people from the rivers and lakes have stepped forward to help Suxi.
This in itself has already made Su Xi full of hope, and he is also more confident in the future search.
"In his twenties, tall, eyebrows and eyes are very good, very handsome, and he is equipped with a sword on his body, which is used for self-defense, I remember someone once told me that he had seen him, just half a month ago, and he had been here, I don't know if you have seen it?"
Su Xi's expectant gaze swept over everyone who looked at him, but he only saw them shaking their heads and the gradually losing light in their eyes, that is, no one had seen it.
Su Xi's heart full of hope, after seeing everyone's shaking their heads, gradually cooled down, the enthusiasm that had been ignited slowly dissipated, and the light of hope in his eyes gradually extinguished in a moment, losing its brilliance.
Su Xi's disappointment and loss are not pretended, after all, she is really looking for Jing Hao, and the story she made up is also looking for people, there is no difference, and the state of mind of not finding people is the same.
The shopkeeper said to Su Xi, although he was a little apologetic, he had to comfort him kindly: "Old man, don't worry, it will take some time to find someone, we people don't see it, it doesn't mean that others haven't seen it, go all the way to southern Xinjiang, you will definitely find it." Didn't you say that? Someone saw him not long ago, and this is hope, and if there is hope, why worry about not finding him? What do you say?"
Su Xi knew that he was kind and comforting, but he couldn't waste someone's kindness, so he nodded with a wry smile and said sincerely: "Thank you." I say "thank you" to other people, too.
Su Xi could see more or less pity and sympathy for herself from their faces, in the past, Su Xi hated such eyes and expressions the most, but now, she just blindly thought about Jing Hao in her mind, and she had no time to take care of their pity and sympathy.
When the crowd gathered around Su Xi gradually dispersed, the shopkeeper was also busy after comforting Su Xi, but a person suddenly sat at Su Xi's table.
"Are you looking for someone?" the man's gaze looked at Su Xi, and then glanced at Su Xi's package, "How did you come here?"
Su Xi was already immersed in the loss of no news from Jing Hao and couldn't extricate himself, and when he saw a stranger leaning over, he didn't react for a while, and was stunned for a moment, until the man explained again and asked, "You didn't come here, did you?" I don't think you're from this nearby village, it's a long way away, how can you stand it as an old man?"
Only then did Su Xi figure out what he was asking, and shook his head: "No, no, I came to make a carriage." ”
The man suddenly had a look of "I see" on his face.
"Alone?" the man continued.
Su Xi felt a little strange, this person asked himself so much directly, looking at his appearance, he didn't look like a good person.
"What about you, how did you come here, and what did you do?" Su Xi changed the subject and began to interrogate the man as if he were fighting back.
The man took a sip of tea and smiled, but he didn't answer Su Xi's question, but said calmly and leisurely: "I have seen the person you said just now." ”
Su Xi even felt that his heartbeat missed a beat, and his mind went blank in an instant.
