...... Master Wan hurriedly returned to the small courtyard where the craftsman lived, and inspected the warehouse by himself, but found nothing unusual. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Everything that's supposed to be there is there.

In particular, the tools he cares about the most, which have just been preliminarily made, are also placed in the corner of the shelf, and there is no damage to them!

After Master Wan confirmed, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he stood by the shelf.

He was about to go to Ah Rong when he heard footsteps approaching quickly.

Then, the door of the storeroom where he was pushed open.

Ah Rong walked in quickly, looked at Master Wan, and then handed over the small box he was holding.

The latter looked puzzled, reached out and took the box.

When he saw clearly that there was a silver needle inside, Master Wan was also stunned.

Later, he regained his composure.

Ah Rong said in a loud voice: "Master Wan, look at this, I think it must be something used by Xiao Lin, but there is a mark on the back of the box." ”

Ah Rong motioned to Master Wan to look, he closed the box, turned it over, and saw that there was indeed a mark underneath.

Master Wan looked at it carefully and saw clearly that those three words were the words "Shun'an Hall"!

"What do you think, I didn't understand what I saw just now, why does Xiaolin have the silver needle used by Dr. Shun'an Tang?"

Ah Rong thought about it carefully, couldn't think of a reason, and felt surprised in his heart.

After Master Wan explained his own guesses, Ah Rong suddenly realized.

"According to what you say, the young owner who stayed in Shun'an Hall at that time should have seen the pharmacy."

After thinking about it, Arons completely straightened out the whole thing.

No wonder Xiao Lin was able to help, he might already be very familiar with the people of Shun'an Hall.

Thinking about this, Ah Rong's heart suddenly moved.

After a while, he looked at Master Wan and asked, "Master Wan, when Xiao Lin arrived on the street of Beidi Town, did he tell you that he wanted to go to Shun'an Hall?" ”

Master Wan shook his head when he heard this, "Even if he wants to go, he will definitely not tell me about it." ”

Master Wan explained to Ah Rong: "Because the people sent by Lady Liu have always been by our side, we have no chance!" ”

Ah Rong paused and asked, "Master Wan, didn't you go to the craftsman's shop to discuss with the craftsman about the tools?" ”

Ah Rong thought of a possibility, and couldn't help asking, "Do you know...... At that time, Xiao Lin was in the teahouse with his attendants? ”

Master Wan met his gaze, and then nodded, "Yes, they were indeed drinking tea in the teahouse at that time." ”

"Wait for me to come over while drinking tea."

Master Wan thought for a moment and added, "Ah Rong, you also know that the three of us discussed it together before we went out, and I think it would be more appropriate for Xiao Lin to lure away the person sent by Lady Liu." ”

"After they walked away, I went to the artisan's shop alone, and it was easier to talk to the craftsmen."

Ah Rong shook his head and said, "Master Wan, I don't mean this, I mean you didn't go to the teahouse with you, but went to the craftsman's shop." ”

"Xiao Lin and the attendants beside Lady Liu are acting together."

Ah Rong said in a serious tone: "After they go to the teahouse, will Xiao Lin bring it up with him and find a reason to leave temporarily?" ”

Master Wan's lips moved, then he frowned and looked at Ah Rong and asked, "You mean...... Xiaolin waited for me to go back to the teahouse, he left the teahouse alone, do you mean that he may have gone to Shun'an Hall? ”

Ah Rong said affirmatively: "That's right, that's what I mean, Master Wan, do you say that there will be anyone over there in Shun'an Hall who saw Xiaolin yesterday?" ”

"This ...... I'm not sure! ”

Master Wan hesitated when he heard this, he seemed to feel some truth when Ah Rong said this.

To say that no one knew what happened yesterday when Xiao Lin was alone in the teahouse with his attendants.

The squire knows, but is not necessarily willing to tell the truth.

As soon as they disappear, they have to be held responsible, and he would rather blame everything on the chaos in the town than have to explain so much at all!

Master Wan said to Ah Rong: "There was something really strange at that time! ”

Ah Rong's heart froze, and he immediately asked, "Tell me carefully!" ”

"Didn't we discuss going out? But when he arrived in the area south of the town, the attendant proposed to go to the teahouse by himself, and he said that he would wait for a long time. ”

"Xiao Lin and I just pushed the boat and agreed."

Master Wan paused while speaking, and met Ah Rong's eyes, and questions flashed in both of their eyes.

After thinking about it, Ah Rong felt that it was necessary to go to Shun An Hall to ask.

Master Wan said that it was a bit strange at that time, which shows that the suspicion is also right!

"Master Wan, you can ask Yuan Xiu for help in this matter, she will have to accompany her grandfather to Shun'an Hall for a follow-up in the next few days, and ask her to help ask when the time comes."

Ah Rong came up with an idea.

"Master Wan, you have also seen that Yuan Xiu is as anxious as us because of Xiaolin's disappearance! She's definitely willing to help. ”

"Well, when the time comes, I'll go and talk to her!"

They were standing in the storehouse to discuss things, and after a short while, they suddenly heard someone coming in at the gate of the courtyard on the west side.

Ah Rong didn't close the door because Yuan Xiu had said in the morning that he would come back at noon to inquire about the news, and people happened to come in at this time.

After Master Wan and Ah Rong looked at each other, the two walked out together.

Yuan Xiu was still very nervous when he ran in, and stepped forward to ask Ah Rong, "Is there any new news in the house?" ”

Ah Rong looked at her and shook his head and said, "Female Officer Liu asked us to go over and asked Master Wan about the situation on the street at that time, but there was no new news, and Xiao Lin still didn't know where he went!" ”

Yuan Xiu looked disappointed, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Ah Rong stepped forward and said softly to her: "Yuan Xiu, I have discussed with Master Wan, but there is something I want to ask you for help, I don't know...... Would you like to? ”

"It's something to do with Kobayashi."

Yuan Xiu suddenly raised his head and looked at Ah Rong and asked, "What's the hurry?" ”

"Well, that's the case, Xiao Lin knows the people over there in Shun'an Hall, I heard that your grandfather has to go for a follow-up visit in a few days, isn't it?"

Yuan Xiu looked at Ah Rong with a little doubt in his tone: "Ah Rong, what do you want to say, just say it." ”

"When Xiao Lin disappeared, we weren't sure if he had been to the Shun'an Hall in the town."

"Yuan Xiu, we want to invite you...... When you take your grandfather to the doctor, help ask. ”

Ah Rong explained: "Ask the people over there in Shun'an Hall, did you see Xiaolin when there was chaos in the town?" ”

Yuan Xiu said puzzledly: "Is it really related to Shun'an Hall?" ”

"No, there's no news outside now, let's think of a way, Master Wan and I are also racking our brains, thinking about it repeatedly!"

"Anyway, if you want to help ask, maybe there will be a clue!"

When Yuan Xiu heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, looked at Ah Rong and said, "Okay, it's too late today, I'll go talk to grandpa later." ”

"We'll go to Shun'an Hall tomorrow morning for a consultation."

Her eyes flashed and she said, "When the time comes, ask the people over there, as well as Xiaolin's friend." ”

Ah Rong looked at Master Wan, who whispered to Yuan Xiu: "But don't have any hope, Yuan Xiu, just go and ask, so as not to be disappointed when the time comes." ”

Yuan Xiu nodded and responded, "I know, don't worry." ”

After that, she hurriedly turned back to the flower garden, and if she wanted to get out of the house smoothly tomorrow morning, she had to plan now, and she had to say hello to the people above!

Ah Rong looked at her departing figure, and after a moment, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Master Wan and asked, "Do you say there will be any clues?" ”

Master Wan hesitated: "It's hard to say, maybe someone has seen him, it's possible, let's not get up hope, if we can really find out the news, it would be the best!" ”

...... I sat in the room with my eldest lady and talked, and most of the topics revolved around the upcoming war in the Northland.

"Auntie, how long has your child been?"

I looked at her and asked.

"It's been a long time, and if it weren't for the war in the Northland, we would rarely go out of the village, at most we would just walk around the mountains around the village."

I looked at her and asked, "Why?" Is it because it's inconvenient to go out, or is it ......"

The eldest lady looked at me and sighed: "One is that it is far away, and it is indeed not very convenient to go out normally, and the other is that the weather here is not good, and it is very difficult to walk along the road when walking to the main road." ”

As I listened to her, I kept looking at her intently.

The eldest lady looked at me and said, "That's why I let you rest for a night and sleep well before going out...... What if the weather is bad and you get stuck in the middle of the road? ”

I thought about it for a while, looked at the eldest lady and nodded, "What you said is very reasonable, you are thoughtful." ”

Although I didn't see with my own eyes what the road conditions were, my aunt said that it would definitely not be much better!

However, it is indeed not easy to think that the conscription can go to such a remote place in the first place.

I spoke my question to my aunt.

Unexpectedly, the eldest lady responded with a depressed expression when she heard this: "That's because you can still have money to go to the town to recruit soldiers, we can't help it!" ”

The life of the mountain people can be seen by looking at the furnishings in their houses.

I asked curiously about the numbers, I had heard in other parts of Sealand about soldiers looking for someone to replace them, and I still had some impressions of the situation at that time.

The eldest lady said roughly, and as I expected, it was really lower than other places.

The eldest lady looked at me and said, "Actually, the princess's territory is quite good to the south, and we are very ...... here."

"Auntie, in your opinion, why is there a battle in the Northland?"

She's right, it's not a place to compete for riches in the south.

The north is a bitter cold place, and I don't understand what to fight for!

The eldest lady leaned closer to me and whispered: "There are some rumors, all of which are whispered from outside, saying that they are ......."

...... Before evening, the weather suddenly became overcast, and black clouds could be seen on the top of the mountain.

Seeing that there was a heavy rain, I hurriedly helped my aunt to collect all the things drying in the yard.

We did things together, very quickly, and we finished it before the heavy rain.

Listen to the mountain wind howling outside, and then the raindrops the size of beans will fall down!

I sat in the room and looked out the window, thankfully now I don't have to walk on the trail.

My aunt is right, if it rains heavily, I may not even find a place to hide, and I may get sick if it rains in winter.

When the time comes, it won't be half a day!

Auntie's suggestion is very good, I have to wait at least until tomorrow morning before leaving.

You'll have a whole day's time to get to the main road and find a way to get to the nearest town.

I sat by the window and remembered what my aunt had told me about the rumors.

Suddenly, another thought flashed, could it be that Yun Chu's arrival in the Northland was related to this rumor?

It's a pity that the others are still in Northland Town, and there is no one to answer my questions.

If Yun Chu was here, I would have pestered him to ask clearly, I lowered my head gloomily.

Now that I am in the princess's territory, how can I get to the king of Sealand in the Northlands?

I'm still going to get close to the National Teacher, it seems that the distance is too far!

...... Outside, it was raining heavily, and it didn't stop for a long time.

The eldest lady took me to the side room, pointed to the cleaned bed and said, "You can sleep here for one night, and I will bring an extra quilt." ”

For dinner, I had a simple meal at my mother's house.

...... In the barren mountains and mountains, there was a man in black walking on a horse.

Seeing the heavy rain falling, he hurried to a cave to rest temporarily.

Seeing that the rain outside the cave was getting heavier and heavier, he couldn't help muttering, "This trip to the North is really not supposed to come, it's bad luck!" Sent to a place like this! ”

He followed the trail all the way to find the place where the carriage had stopped, but the terrain in this area was complicated, and it had rained heavily the night before, so it was not so easy to find.

If he returns in vain, how will he face the people in the courtyard of Northland Town who are still waiting for news!

Thinking about the young master's expression, he shook his head helplessly.

That's it, wait for the rain to stop and look for it!

But the current location is a little delicate, and it is already close to the princess's territory.

He secretly said in his heart, should that girl really be sent to ...... In that case, it seems like things are going to get a little trickier!

...... The house in Northland.

In the heavy rain, Yuan Xiu came back from Female Officer Liu's residence with an umbrella.

It was raining heavily, and even the road in the house was a little muddy, and it took her some time to walk back.

When Yuan Xiu approached the courtyard of the flower garden, he saw that the lights in the house were on.

Hearing the noise, the gardener opened the door and leaned against it to look out.

When Yuan Xiu walked in, the gardener glanced at her.

"Grandpa, let's go to Shun'an Hall tomorrow morning."

Yuan Xiu bit her lip lightly, looked at the gardener and plucked up her courage and continued, "You still have to go and see your legs." ”

She raised her voice a little and continued: "Second, Master Wan, they asked me to help ask Xiao Lin if he had been over there, grandpa!" ”
