Chapter 439: Clues
Men have always been insensitive to these things, but Ah Yuan smelled the smell of the bottle of pear blossom perfume originally made, the first bottle of unsuccessful finished product was exhausted by Song Haohao, and the second bottle was secretly given to Cai Lian, the little girl liked it very much, although the perfume production gradually increased since then, she often brought the first bottle of pear blossom perfume given by Ah Yuan.
That's right! That's the smell! You can't go wrong with something you make yourself.
"Chengguang, just look for it here, Cailian must have stayed here!" Ah Yuan's voice shivered.
A few torches came over, and I couldn't wait to press them into the shallow grass, and a few dazzling starlights flickered under my feet.
It'sāa few fragments of a three-petaled glass bottle.
Vaguely, the texture of the glass bottle can also be recognized, which is one of the few small finished products that Qi Ziyu developed for the first time.
There is no doubt that Cailian smashed the perfume bottle here, and a few pieces of crumbs burst out of the carriage carrying the perfume......
There hasn't been a response yet, so it could only be that something happened.
Just like the two missing girls years ago, they are most likely to be taken captive.
"Dig a tunnel! Dig three feet into the ground...... Find Hu County to order firecrackers and explosives! "Ah Yuan can't help but connect with those tomb robbers from years ago, could it be that those people are back? In the middle of this uninhabited area, a thorough tunnel was dug again, and then the lotus picker and the coachman and the carriage were pulled in?
"It's unlikely, if the tunnel can't be dug so wide enough to accommodate a carriage to enter, won't it become an underground castle?" Mr. Lu Qian also rushed back from the county seat, frowning and asking questions.
But no one listened to his questions, the current Bai family brothers. As long as someone casually shows you the way. You can dive headlong into it. The worry about lotus picking has taken up all the ability to think.
Long swords and steel knives, as well as hoes borrowed from houses, came in handy.
Still like at the beginning, Zhang Dashan and a group of guards were tapping the ground with wooden sticks, looking for places where they could hear something strange......
But there was no - nothing -
"County Lord, there are no traces of tunnels nearby." Zhang Dashan's forehead was sweating. Run back to report the progress.
The three Bai Chengguang brothers were still looking for clues in the distance, and in the dark, they could only see the light of the torches getting fainter and fainter......
"I can't! The carriage should have disappeared here, no one has seen the coachman who picks lotus on that side, and no one has seen the coachman go back on the other side, it must have disappeared out of thin air here, there must be a tunnel here, the tomb robbers dug too deep, you can't find ......." Ah Yuan had already snatched a shovel and bent down to do it himself.
Mr. Lu Qian stepped forward again. With a constipated expression: "County Lord, such cases are actually common, Miss Cailian's carriage is very ordinary, and all the residents can identify is the coachman, if the thief kills the coachman or puts him in the car, then someone else drives ......the car away."
Ah Yuan's shovel stopped suddenly, and two tears fell out of his eyes, yes, why didn't you understand such a simple truth? The whole family was dazed, following their habitual thinking to the tunnel.
Mr. Lu Qian is not a good-for-nothing gentleman, and he is actually a petty official who can be regarded as a civil and military officer.
Ah Yuan covered his face with both hands, and after a while, he forced back his tears, and his expression regained his composure.
"Dashan, you take people to look for traces of carriages outside the county seat, and you have to thoroughly check the roadside ......."
"But the safety of the county lord is also very important, and the mountain has to stay by the county lord's side!" Zhang Dashan is like this, when he smells the smell of danger, he absolutely refuses to leave Ah Yuan by himself.
Mr. Lu Qian was looking for an opportunity to release his suspicions with Ah Yuanbing, so he immediately hugged his fists: "Lu is here, and if he doesn't wait for the Dashan brothers to return, he will definitely not leave the county lord for half a step." ā
"That's right, Dashan, you go and search it, Mr. Qian is not an outsider, aren't the generals also here?"
Ah Yuan's tone was really calm, and he turned his head and pulled out a smile: "What Mr. Qian said makes sense, the bandits this time may not be the same as the last time, and it is much easier to drive a carriage to plunder than to dig tunnels." ā
Lu Qian was also relieved: "The county lord was just a fan of the authorities just now, the group of women who specialized in digging tunnels and touching gold were very casual, and they didn't seem to be very age-specific, and there were several cases of kidnapping in several nearby counties recently, but they were all targeted, and the missing ones were all women ...... in their twenties."
Therefore, he decided that the case after the year was not the same as that of the previous year.
"Twenty-eight years? Sixteen years old? Cai Lian she-", Lu Qian may have wanted to persuade the county lord to comfort the county lord, but after talking about it for a few words, it could only make Ah Yuan even more flustered.
It seems that Cailian is sixteen years old!
I just don't know if this sixteen is a virtual age or a year old? Ah Yuan's mind was a little messed up.
Mr. Lu Qian's voice was like floating in the air: "Don't worry, the county lord, Miss Cailian is not unlucky, and her temperament is also tough, she will definitely not be like those women who have never been out of the house, she was abducted and coaxed, maybe, there is something temporary to delay her home, and she will ...... tomorrow."
The words of comfort were not finished, Ah Yuan was already sweating in a hurry, and the brothers of the Bai family were still digging fiercely in the distance, and they had to find someone who understood and asked.
"Mr. Qian, do you know? How old is the rat? ā
When the sister-in-law is a careless person, I can't figure out whether Cailian's sixteen-year-old is a year old or a virtual age, I only know that Cailian is a mouse, and I once joked to her that the mouse born at dawn is just full and can sleep comfortably......
Lu Qian is worthy of being an original ancient, and he explained it clearly without thinking about it: "The rat is four or sixteen years old this year, and if you are older, you can add another twelve years." ā
Ah Yuan's two hands were already clenched together, and it seemed that there was something else that had passed by, and the dangerous aura had been confirmed, although Lu Qian was still chattering in his ear, indicating that this was just an accidental event, and there was no need to guess the possibility of being taken captive and coaxed now.
A torch is getting closer and closer, and the whereabouts are very fast, and the leader is the person he doesn't want to see at this moment.
Hu Buyu, here it is.
Although everyone was avoiding letting the Hu family know about Cailian's disappearance, however, there was such a big movement in the county town to search for the inn, and Ah Yuan sent people to the county office to ask for firecrackers and explosives, it was impossible for Hu Xianling not to be suspicious, Hu Buyu was even more nervous, and he couldn't sleep at all without figuring out the cause and effect.
Therefore, Hu Gongzi still rushed over with a ticket for the office, and his face was very solemn.
"The firecrackers are in the car, and my father arranged to deliver them in person, sister-in-law, did something happen to Cai Lian?"
Mr. Lu Qian took a few steps back with his sleeves, this topic is very sensitive, in case Cailian is taken away by thieves is true, whether she is innocent or not, her reputation will be ruined, and men in this era are taboo about this kind of thing, nine times out of ten, the marriage will be blown.
Ah Yuan could also understand the twists and turns, and her fingernails were pinched into her palms, and the pain kept her awake.
was originally a pair of beautiful women, but now, when they are about to get married, such a demon moth suddenly appeared, I'm afraid that no matter what the result is, the future will not be smooth......
The Bai brothers relieved Ah Yuan's encirclement, and rushed back to the road one by one panting, Bai Chengguang was the first to speak: "Silent and coming?" Did Cailian find it? ā
One of Xiao Awen's hands had actually grabbed the eldest brother's sleeve, but he didn't hold on to this question.
"Cai Lian didn't come home? Can't find her? Hu Buyu may have guessed the specific content of this matter in his heart, but when he heard this question, he was still bombarded.
Bai Chengguang spoke, and suddenly realized that his younger brother was tugging on his sleeve, but the rough man who was not used to turning corners didn't take this seriously.
"Silence, you came just in time, Cailian is gone, we suspect that something happened here, but after looking for a long time in the tunnel, we haven't dug up anything......."
Ah Yuan's expression was a little cold, and his eyes stared directly at Hu Buyu's face, as long as this kid showed the slightest dislike, she would personally dissolve the marriage contract for Cailian, a man who has no responsibility is not worthy of any woman's life.
Fortunately, Hu Buyu was just shocked, just heartache.
"Big brother - really? Lotus Picking - Where Can I Go? ā
In the end, it is understandable that he is just a teenager who has not yet started a family, and he has lost his ideas for a while.
Xiao Awen had a good impression of this "brother-in-law", and walked up and patted Hu Buyu on the shoulder: "It's still not sure where he went, and whether there is any danger." But don't worry, if you don't find Sister Cailian, none of us will give up! ā
Hu Buyu muttered: "Picking lotus - it will be fine, my mother asks for the birthday of the long time, doesn't she say - Cailian's life - wealth is unspeakable?" Those eight characters, the natural Wangfu godson to prosper the family......".
"Eight characters - birthday -", these four words were turning around in Ah Yuan's mind, just now Mrs. Hu mentioned the eight characters of Cailian's birthday, and she had also seen the big red Geng post: the vertical version of Ren Yinshi, Xin Chou Ri, Bingshen Month, Jiazi Year......
Where else have you ever heard such four words?
Ah Yuan squatted on the ground with her head in her hands, she felt that there were clues to Cailian's disappearance on these four words, "Birthday-Eight Characters-Birthday-"......
In the battle a year ago, after Qi Ziyu was rescued, he once said that when the tomb robber didn't remove the cloth bag or sack he had buckled on his head, the first thing he asked was his birthday, and then because it didn't meet the bandit's intentions, he found out that it was a man, so he beat him violently......
"I-got it!" Ah Yuan stood up suddenly, and his eyes were full of fire: "Let's stop taking chances, Cailian must have been taken away!" Now, it's too late to carefully inquire about the birthday of the missing girl in the neighboring county, listen to my command! (To be continued......)
