Chapter 074: The Merchant's Burden

"Could it be that you went to a neighboring village to play?"

Gu Xuan said. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"No, we Qingyan just play a lot with Erni on weekdays, and we rarely visit the house. And she has been preparing to get married at home recently, if it weren't for the merchant coming, she wouldn't even be able to get out of the house. ”

At this time, the Yuan family next door also came over.

Hearing Gu Xuan's words, Lin denied it.

"Merchant?"

Shen Qiao and Gu Xuan glanced at each other.

Just now, Shen Qiao was still thinking that the merchant's courage could be contained if some thin women were curled up in a ball.

Obviously, Gu Xuan also thought of this.

"Yes, the merchant will come to our village every few days, and the little baby and some girls in the village love to go. Qiao Qiao, Gu Gongzi, we came here to borrow a carriage. ”

Lin said with a scorched forehead.

"Uncle Yuan, when you went to look for Qingyan just now, do you know who Qingyan went with today, and who she left with?"

Shen Qiao waited for Lin to finish speaking, and subconsciously asked.

"Erni, Qingyan went with Erni, they stayed there for a while, Erni said that Qingyan chose a small hairpin, but the merchant asked for too much, Qingyan couldn't make up her mind, just Erni's little brother called her home, Qingyan asked Erni to go back first, and then think about whether to buy it or not. But when it got dark, this girl didn't come home! ”

Qingyan's father replied.

"Qiaoqiao, I'll ride a horse to chase after you, and you can look around here again."

Hearing this, Gu Xuan immediately said, then went to the carriage to unload the rope, and rode the horse outside.

The action was too fast, and the Yuan family, the Zhou family, and Ah Wang did not react.

"Uncle Yuan, Aunt Yuan, Ah Wang and I will go with you to look around, my mother and Grandma Lin are waiting at home, maybe Qingyan will come back."

Shen Qiao said.

She didn't say anything about the merchant either.

Because she and Gu Xuan are not sure that some merchants are really carrying Yuan Qingyan in their burdens.

"But we ......"

Lin wanted to say that we were here to borrow a carriage, but the horse was ridden away by Gu Xuan and couldn't move.

Gu Xuan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, why did you ride the horse away as soon as you came to borrow the carriage, didn't you mean it?

The Zhou family didn't know what to say, so they went to the Yuan family with the Lin family.

After going out, Shen Qiao told the Yuan family about the situation that she and Gu Xuan saw the merchant.

And only said that it was possible, but I was not sure, so I didn't want to disappoint the old man if he didn't find it after telling the old man.

Shen Qiao had heard the Zhou family say that the Lin family next door had heart palpitations, so Shen Qiao didn't want to be sad that he didn't find someone Lin when the time came.

People with heart palpitations are most afraid of ups and downs.

"What? Then why didn't you say it earlier. ”

Uncle Yuan sent some of them.

"Didn't my grandfather immediately ride a horse to chase after him?"

Seeing that Yuan Haiqian was angry with Shen Qiao, Ah Wang immediately replied.

"Ngawang."

Shen Qiao stopped him from continuing.

She can understand Yuan Hai's anxious mood, her daughter is lost, everyone is in a hurry, not to mention, Yuan Qingyan is still waiting to be married, if this matter is spread, it will always be bad for her reputation.

"Uncle Yuan, let's go find it at two ends."

Shen Qiao said again.

"Okay, then I'll be with Brother Ngawang, and you will be with your aunt."

Yuan Hai thought for a moment and nodded.

His thinking is rather old-fashioned, although Gu Xuan once said that he wanted to marry Shen Qiao, and Ah Wang is Gu Xuan's little servant, but he still feels that in this dark day, it is not good for lonely men and widows to be together.

"It's fine."

Shen Qiao nodded, and did not refute.

"Auntie, have you looked for everything except Erni's family just now?"

After parting, Shen Qiao asked.

"I've looked for them all, and all the girls of the same age in the village have asked. Qiaoqiao, you said that my Qingyan would not have an accident! Seeing that the day of marriage is coming, if there is something wrong, what should it be. ”

Qingyan Niang frowned and said.

There are relatively few people in the village who light up the lamp, so it is no longer clear to see the road at this time.

Fortunately, the two of them brought straw, and they could light the way forward.

"Auntie, don't worry, Qingyan is such a good girl, she will definitely be fine."

Shen Qiao didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only say so.

An hour later, the four of them walked all over the village, but they didn't find Yuan Qingyan, because Yuan Hai and his daughter-in-law were afraid that this matter would affect Qingyan's reputation, and if they met someone on the road, they wouldn't tell anyone about it, and when they found a remote place, they didn't let Shen Qiao and Ngawang shout loudly.

Therefore, when they returned to Yuan's house, several people had sad faces.

And here Gu Xuan rode fast all the way, and chased him all the way to the gate of the county before he chased the merchant.

The merchant was just walking, and Gu Xuan was fast, so he quickly caught up with someone.

The merchant Xu was weak-hearted, and when he saw Gu Xuan stopping in front of him, his legs were a little weak.

"It's a girl in the burden?"

Gu Xuan didn't want to make a move, so he only asked.

"You, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm a merchant who carries the burden, where is, yes, it's a girl? ”

Hearing Gu Xuan say girl, the merchant stuttered directly.

But I still can't admit it.

"Get out of here when I don't feel like doing it right now!"

Gu Xuan said coldly.

When the merchant heard this, he immediately threw off the things, pulled his legs and ran, really unlucky, really unlucky, when did Taiping Village have a family with horses? Why do you think of him and catch up with him all at once?

Gu Xuan took off the lid, and sure enough, there was a person lying inside who had fainted and was tied up.

He couldn't be sure if it was Yuan Qingyan.

took out a small bottle from his arms, opened the lid, and shook it a few times from Yuan Qingyan's nose.

"Ahh

Yuan Qingyan sneezed, and the person woke up in a daze.

She opened her eyes and tried to sit up, only to feel someone beside her, touching her body.

"Ah......h

Yuan Qingyan shouted.

"I'm Gu Xuan."

Gu Xuan finished untying the rope for her before he said.

"Gu, Gu Gongzi!"

Yuan Qingyan's voice was a little suspicious.

"Well, do you remember what happened before?"

Gu Xuan stood up and said.

Yuan Qingyan moved, and was tied up and placed in a burden that happened to hold her, making her body a little sore.

Standing up, a little confused, he said: "Just now I went to the merchant with Erni to buy something, I saw a hairpin, Erni said......"

Gu Xuan interrupted her and said, "Say what you remember last." ”

Yuan Qingyan was aggrieved, and then said: "Finally, I remember that the merchant brother just now said that there was a cheap hairpin that looked similar to the hairpin I fancied, so I leaned over to see it, and then I didn't know what happened." ”

Gu Xuan was speechless and said, "Then when he asked you to see it just now, were there any other villagers around you besides the merchant?" ”

Yuan Qingyan shook her head and said, "No, because the big brother of the merchant was going to leave, and I pestered him to give me a cheaper price." ”
