Chapter 032: Search
Tong Xue got up suddenly, hurriedly put on her clothes, and hurried to the room where Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis was.
The Lu family was indeed there, discussing countermeasures with Mrs. Dingyuan.
"Immediately order the temple to block all roads around the eastern courtyard, and search every house within a radius of three miles, and focus on exploring abandoned wells, wild forests, broken walls, and deserted places." After Mrs. Dingyuan Hou ordered to go down, she personally went to find the abbot master, and told her about Tong Shuang's disappearance, hoping that the temple could help find her.
When Master Youming heard that the girl from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion had disappeared in the temple, his face immediately changed, and he immediately followed the instructions of the Marquis of Dingyuan.
He immediately ordered some of the novices to go to the residences of the surrounding pilgrims to inquire about the situation, and the other part took the servants of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to investigate the east courtyard where Mrs. Tai and the others were resting.
Tong Xue took Cai Qing and Cai Lan with her, and ordered Lingzhi to take them to the place where Tong Shuang disappeared.
The spirit had not appeared these days, and if it was the spirit that was now in control of Tong Shuang's body, she might have fled out of fear.
But if that is the case, she should have taken some gold and silver hairpin rings as a coil before escaping.
However, Tong Xue had already asked the girl to check it, and she had a lot of jewelry with her today, and even the bracelets and longevity locks that Tong Shuang had taken off during her lunch break were also placed on the table.
ruled out the possibility of the spirit escaping, so it was still Tong Shuang herself who was in control of her body at the moment, so why did she run away?
Tong Xue stood under the peach blossom tree, like a fly without a head, looking around anxiously.
Her sister's tearful face suddenly flashed in her mind, Tong Xue gritted her teeth and kicked on the trunk of a peach tree in front of her.
The trees swayed, and the peach blossoms fluttered down like pink snow, but no one had the leisure to look up and admire its beauty.
Tong Xue looked anxious and yelled at the little guy who was searching on the side: "Did you find anything abnormal?" ”
The little guy shook his head and continued to bury his head in the search.
Cai Qing was on the side, and said worriedly: "Girl, the second girl won't run too far, don't worry too much"
Tong Xue's mood at the moment is on the verge of going berserk.
She had never seen Tong Xue have such a violent look on her face.
Tong Xue pursed her lips, raised her head and wiped away the two cold tears from the corners of her eyes with the corners of her sleeves.
If it is still Tong Shuang herself who controls her body at this moment, then there is only one reason for her to escape.
She wanted to find a place to die silently!
She should have thought of it a long time ago!
When the spirit returned the control of her body from the fire that day, the first thing Tong Shuang said to her was to beg her to kill her!
"How can you be so stupid! So stupid! If Tong Shuang was right in front of her, Tong Xue might have grabbed her and beat her buttocks, "You're only six years old, it's not your fault!" ”
After Tong Xue wiped away the tears on her face, she grabbed Lingzhi's collar, "You are the first person to find out that your sister is missing, and you have already searched for this radius at that time, she has short calves and will definitely not be able to run far!" Were abandoned wellheads, forests, houses found? ”
Lingzhi, a fourteen-year-old girl, was lifted off the ground by Tong Xue.
Her neck was even more painful by her, and she was even more frightened by Tong Xue's terrifying gaze.
"Slave slave maid found an abandoned well in the southeast corner of the yard, but there was no one in it!" Lingzhi didn't dare to make eye contact with Tong Xue's vicious eyes, and closed his eyes.
Tong Xue threw the person down, snatched a bundle of rope from a small servant, and said to the three or five people around: "Go to the waste well!" ”
Cai Qing tugged at her sleeve, "Girl, since there is no one in the well, let's not go!" ”
"You go to your mother's place and say, pick blue, come with me!" Tong Xue broke free of Cai Qing's hand, commanded casually, and then strode forward.
"Yes!" Cai Lan carried Ganoderma lucidum, followed closely by Tong Xue, followed by two small servants, a monk.
After about half a cup of tea, the group soon arrived at the abandoned well.
Due to the perennial desertion, the waste well has been covered with wild grass that grows up to Tong Xue's neck, and the weeds at the mouth of the well have been peeled off with sticks, which are obviously the traces left by Lingzhi when they were looking for it before.
Tong Xue walked to the mouth of the well, leaned on the edge of the well, and looked down, the bottom of the well was dark, and he couldn't see it at a glance.
"Find a rock!" She commanded behind her.
Cai Lan immediately pulled a stone out of the barren meadow and handed it to her.
Tong Xue carefully threw the stone next to the wall of the well, and soon heard a clear echo.
The well is not deep.
"Embroidery?" She tentatively shouted to the bottom of the well.
No one answered.
Tong Xue frowned.
According to Tong Shuang's figure, she could quietly avoid Lingzhi and the others, and quickly leave their sight, this dry well was her best choice.
And she's only six years old!
Maybe just huddle in a dark corner at the bottom of the well and wait quietly to die!
Tong Xue leaned over again and glanced at the well, suddenly shook off the rope in her hand, picked up one end of the rope, and tied it to herself.
"Big girl (little donor), what are you going to do here?" In addition to Cai Lan's expressionless face, the two little maids and a monk who accompanied him were all shocked by Tong Xue's actions.
"I'm going down to the bottom of the well and see. The well was dry, and there was no water in it. ”
"Little donor! Although there is no water in this well, there may be some snakes, rats, poisonous insects, etc. ”
"The stone was thrown down just now, but it didn't startle any other sound." Tong Xue handed the other end of the rope to one of the little guys, and said to Cai Lan: "Is there a fire fold?" Give it to me. ”
Cai Lan nodded, took out the fire fold and handed it to Tong Xue.
"Wait at the well, call me every half a cup of tea, and if I still don't respond after a cup of tea, go and tell Mrs. Tai!" Tong Xue said to Cai Lan.
Cai Lan solemnly responded, "Girl, be careful. ”
Tong Xue nodded.
The other two servants and a monk saw that persuasion was useless, so they pulled the rope together and slowly lowered Tong Xue down.
"Girl!" As soon as Tong Xue arrived at the bottom of the well, the sound of blue picking came from overhead.
"I'm fine!" She replied calmly, slicing away the fire.
There was only a foot square at the bottom of the well, and Tong Xue turned around and finished reading them.
Suddenly, she crouched down and approached somewhere with a fire fold.
The rope around his waist tightened suddenly.
"Girl!" Cai Lan screamed again overhead.
Tong Xue stared at the pit that had fallen into the clay, and tears gushed out of her eyes.
She was almost certain that her sister Tong Shuang had jumped into the well.
But at the moment, the bottom of the well was indeed empty.
Where did you go? Tong Xue stood at the place where Tong Shuang fell, waited for a while, and did not feel that the soil under her feet had a tendency to fall down.
"It's not a swamp." Tong Xue said to herself, at this moment, the fire in her hand burned out, and her eyes fell into darkness in an instant.
Tong Xue imagined what her sister would look like after falling into this dry well, she found that she was not dead, and she was in the dark, what would she do?
A person who is bent on dying will most likely make a second attempt like a moth to a fire after dying unsuccessfully the first time.
And she's still such a dead-eyed child.
Tong Xue bent down, imagining the appearance of Tong Shuang's small body hitting the wall of the well again and again, and cried sadly.
Since the embroidery is not in this well, there must be some mystery on the wall of this well.
Inch by inch, she groped around the wall of the well and thrashed it with her hands.
"Girl!" Cai Lan's anxious voice came again, Tong Xue only felt a tightness on her waist, and the whole person was suddenly lifted up.
"Ah Jin! You come up first! "The voice of Mrs. Dingyuan came from the wellhead.
"Embroidery is inside, grandmother, you wait for me a little longer!" Seeing that her toes were more than a foot away from the ground, Tong Xue hurriedly untied the rope and fell back onto the soft clay ground.
