Chapter 241, lost contact
ps: Sorry for being late, I'm not satisfied with the chapter that was originally written, and I just overturned and rewrote! It's distressing!
Two days later, the three of them went to the more lively Tongxiang County and found a larger hotel to stay in.
Even if the luggage belt is relatively complete, but it is already their limit to miss the town for days and stay overnight in the wilderness, Wu Nuandong will make the decision, and take a day and a night here without rushing to set off.
Tongxiang County is not more prosperous than Lingshan County, the streets and alleys are mostly gambling halls and dark buildings, and there is a long red lantern alley where people come and go. In front of the doors of Red Lantern Lane, there are women dressed frivolously and boldly dressed in bold clothes, scratching their heads and posing, twisting their bodies and showing off coquettishness to attract passing guests.
When the carriage passed by, Xihua's eyes were straight, and when he turned his head, he saw the little fourth son's red face and red ears and the appearance that he didn't dare to look at, and immediately twisted his waist angrily, and the little fourth son who was in pain quickly laughed twice, not raising his eyes.
After settling down in the inn, Xi Hua glared at the little fourth son who helped her move things to the room, and said softly in warning: "You are not allowed to go to these dirty places!"
Xiao Sizi's eyes lit up, and he nodded earnestly, "If you don't let me go, I won't go!" ā
"It doesn't matter to me whether you go or not, I'm afraid that the girl will hear that you are going, and she can't help but wonder what to do?"
The corners of Xiao Sizi's mouth twitched, knowing that he was making himself amorous, and his tone was a little depressed, "It seems that this place is restless, I will guard the door for you at night, and I will not go anywhere!" ā
"You go to rest, I'll guard the door for the girl, I drove all the way to the carriage, and my body shouldn't be able to stand it!" Xihua shook his head and refused, made the bed, didn't notice the little fourth son's smiling face that suddenly became happy again, and hurried out: "You go out!" The girl is going to rest when she comes back, it's not good for you to be here! ā
The little fourth son naturally didn't disobey, and went back to his room happily.
Wu Nuandong sprinkled the drug on the windows and doors of the two rooms, went back to the room to take a hot shower, and got up early. The two of them lay on the bed and sighed to each other, and the carriage was not as comfortable as the bed, and soon they fell asleep deeply.
In the middle of the night, Wu Nuandong's ears moved lightly, and he heard movement outside the door in half a sleep. After the bolt was cracked twice, there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Her expression darkened, and this place seemed more dangerous than she had imagined. Their carriage was simple and inconspicuous, and the two big horses knew at a glance that they were not vulgar things, and the three of them were not very old, so it was not difficult to guess that someone was robbing at night, but I don't know if there was a shopkeeper involved.
After a while, I heard two soft voices outside the door, "Shopkeeper, aren't these two guests from the shop on the first floor?" How did it fall here? ā
"Pull people away and throw them out!" The shopkeeper said impatiently: "It's so bold to want to make trouble in my shop!" Throw them in the back alley, find a few bastards and beat them up, so that they can remember it for a long time! ā
Wu Nuandong breathed a sigh of relief, and the back was basically the shopkeeper cursing the thief, which was not worth listening to. This store has the advantage of being expensive, at least you don't have to beware of being a black store. Thinking that the shopkeeper should have something to do with the official family, the shopkeeper's actions are obviously not afraid of retaliation.
After a good night's sleep, Xihua prepared toiletries, and knew that the girl didn't need her to serve, so he asked yƬ to find a local restaurant to buy some breakfast and come back.
"Call the little fourth brother together." Wu Nuandong instructed.
Xihua went out happily, followed by a yawn and a yawning little four, and he went for a long time.
The more he waited at the inn, the more upset Wu Nuandong became, and felt that something was wrong. Most of the time the painting is calm and reliable, and there are few times when you are greedy to play and do not return, and now don't have anything to do.
She stepped out of the room, and just as she was about to call Xiao Er, Xiao Sizi ran up in a hurry, "Girl, girl, it's a pity that the painting is gone!" ā
"Where are you missing? To be clear? Wu Nuandong sighed in his heart, and didn't ask why the little fourth son didn't follow her, now is not a good time to question, it is important to find someone.
"I was waiting in line at the restaurant to buy breakfast, and she said to go to a latrine, who knew that I had bought it early and she hadn't come back yet, and when I went to look for it, there was no one in the latrine. Later, I searched all over the vicinity of the restaurant, but there was no trace of her. Girl, what should I do? "The little fourth son is anxious, if it is a normal place, he will not be anxious about the six gods and no owner, but this place is different, it is easy to abduct and sell people, especially women and children, which is the focus of those human traffickers.
"Could it be that you were targeted yesterday?" The little fourth son was so anxious that he was sweating like rain, and his eyes were red.
"I'll go find the shopkeeper!" Wu Nuandong jumped and came directly to the hall on the first floor, which startled the guests who dined here, and they all stared at her in amazement.
"Miss, what's the matter?" The shopkeeper who was settling accounts behind the counter was stunned for a moment, thinking of the two people who fell outside the house late at night, and he was even more flattering when facing Wu Nuandong, "Do you want to check out or continue to stay?" Are you satisfied? ā
"Shopkeeper, can you help me find someone? My little maid just got lost, and I wonder if I met something. If there is news of her, I will thank her again! As he spoke, Wu Nuandong took out the silver and put it directly in front of the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper frowned, the distribution of power in Tongxiang County is more complicated, and his master can't cover the sky with one hand, so it's unnecessary to offend someone who shouldn't be offended for the sake of a little girl who lives in the store, after thinking about it, he asked, "Is it okay just to get a letter?" ā
"Yes, as long as there is accurate information!" Wu Nuandong was anxious but didn't put it on his face, raised his hand and clenched his fists, "I know how difficult this move is, and I hope that the shopkeeper will speed up and send people to the dark alleys and red light streets to go around more, my little maid is delicate and gentle, and her face is beautiful!" ā
The shopkeeper is staggering, this twelve or thirteen-year-old girl knows a lot, and this posture doesn't look like a lady but a child of the rivers and lakes. Jianghu people are more difficult to deal with than some rich and noble families, which angers them, and they don't care about smashing and making trouble, and the shopkeeper doesn't dare to delay time, so he hurriedly summoned Xiao Er to whisper a few words.
"Little fourth brother, you are guarding the inn, waiting for the news of the shopkeeper. I'll go check it out! Wu Nuandong confessed and left.
The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped and kindly persuaded, "Miss, don't be impulsive, don't get lost when the time comes!" ā
Wu Nuandong smiled, took out a silver ingot, rubbed his little hand, and the ingots turned into a round ball, and then under the stunned and disbelieving gazes of everyone, he threw it to the little fourth son.
"Even if I get lost, someone else is unlucky!" It was obviously a joke, but after she said it, it was a little more murderous.
The shopkeeper is not an ordinary person, and when he noticed Wu Nuandong's deliberate blood-colored momentum, he knew that this beautiful little girl who seemed to be easy to talk should be a ruthless master with a good life, even if it was someone who was unlucky in the hands of some people, he was no longer worried about not receiving the thank you, and returned to the counter to get busy with peace of mind.
It is impossible for Wu Nuandong to put all his hopes on the shopkeeper, people only help for the silver, if he encounters difficulties, he may give up earning this windfall. That's why she thought about inquiring by herself, and this way was first coerced and then lured, so that she really asked about something.
Xi Hua should be out of the toilet, met a wow wow crying child, and then I was afraid that I was worried about the child's situation, the two talked a few words, and Xi Hua took the child away.
According to the words of the lady who set up the stall, I thought that the painting was a person who abducted and sold people! Even if he thought that he might be a bad person, the people here did not open their mouths to stop him, thinking that it was not strange to see how much, and they were afraid of evil forces, so they were used to sweeping the snow in front of the door.
