Chapter 43 The Deserted Liu'an Township

After Qianxue was full, everyone left the Drunken Immortal Building, Ning Er originally thought that she could hurry up today and walk more, but she didn't expect that it was already noon after eating, it seemed that she couldn't go far today, so she could only walk as much as she could.

After Wu Shuang knew that they wanted to go to the capital, she had already formulated a road map closest to the capital, "Ning'er." We are now in Lin'an County, if you want to reach the capital as soon as possible, you must first go out of Lin'an County, you have to follow the route of Lin'an County - Pingle County - Fukang County - Beijing, which is the fastest and most time-saving route. Wu Shuang told Ning'er the roadmap she was pondering, looking forward to Ning'er praising herself.

"We are not very familiar with the route to the capital, since Wu Shuanggongzi has already thought of the route, then let's follow the route you said. It's just that today we may not be able to walk much, so let's go to the junction of Lin'an County and Pingle County first, how much can we go, what do you say? Ning Er did not reject Wu Shuang's route, and was still asking everyone's opinions, after all, it was not only the two of them who were traveling together, but also listened to the opinions of others.

"Well, I listen to my young lady, and if the young lady doesn't have an opinion, I don't have an opinion." Yiyi still maintained an agreement with Miss and listened to Miss's words, although Ning'er asked Yiyi to stop calling herself Miss, but Yiyi just felt comfortable calling Miss, and Ning'er had no choice but to let Yiyi continue to call her like that.

Qianxue, a cute snack goods, has never cared much about the route, only cares about whether there will be delicious and fun things on the road, "I can do it, as long as I can go to the capital to eat delicious food in the end, I don't care about anything else." ”

Zijian and Ning Er were walking with them this time, thinking about finding their relatives, but they didn't know where to look, not to mention Lin'an County and the capital, and even Jia Village hadn't gone out much, so he didn't have any suggestions for the route, just responded simply, "I listen to you."

Wu Shuang saw that the others had no opinions, so he took out the map, this map was secretly taken out by Wu Shuang from home, Wu Shuang's father was an official in the court, and it was not uncommon for the family to have a few maps, but this kind of map was very precious, and he was afraid that his father would not give it to him, so he secretly took it out from his father's study.

According to the map, Wu Shuang began to lead the way in front, as Ning Er expected, sure enough, their group of people stopped and stopped along the way, talking about the trouble, they didn't walk much, it was already dark, but fortunately, they had already walked a lot, and walked out of the most prosperous boundary in Lin'an County, and now the place they walked to didn't look very lively, it was not dark yet, and there were almost no people on the street.

Ning'er and the others were puzzled when they saw this situation, and they didn't know what it meant, but they were still going to find a hotel to stay in and inquire. They walked into several hotels in a row, and those stores rejected their requests to stay, without exception, all of them refused them on the grounds that they were full, but there were no people in the store, Wu Shuang and Qianxue saw that the shopkeeper said so, and when they asked about the third inn, they were a little anxious, and almost fought with the innkeeper.

Qianxue and Wu Shuang thought that the shopkeeper deliberately did not let them live, and it was normal for a family to be full, but this was the third inn, and there should be someone if it was full, but there was almost no one in the entire inn except for the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper.

Ning'er originally thought that this place was very strange, there was no one on the street before it was dark, at this point in time, when they were busy planting in the farmland in Yongzhou County, no matter how bad it was, it should be the time for every family to go home and cook, how could it be so deserted? Also, it's strange that the streets are deserted, but the inns are all full.

In order to prevent Qianxue and Wu Shuang from clashing with the boss, Ning Er pulled the two of them behind her, and walked to the storekeeper's façade by herself, wanting to ask the boss what the situation was. "Shopkeeper, why do all the inns say they are full, and the streets are so deserted?"

When the shopkeeper heard Ning Er ask, he ignored Ning Er, and was busy with the things at hand, wiping the counter there.

Wu Shuang and Qianxue saw the shopkeeper's ignorance of Ning'er, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled. Immediately afterwards, Qianxue walked to the door of the inn, closed the door of the inn, plugged the latch on, took a chair and sat at the door; Wu Shuang bypassed Ning'er, walked into the counter, walked to the shopkeeper's side, and put her arm on the shopkeeper's shoulder.

"Shopkeeper, it's full anyway, it's okay to close the door early, why don't you just answer the question this girl just asked you!" Wu Shuang was beside the shopkeeper, don't look at the smile on his face when he spoke, in fact, after Wu Shuang finished speaking loudly, he also came to the ear of the shopkeeper and whispered something to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper suddenly changed his face, put down the rag in his hand, and his attitude changed, and his face smiled.

Ning Er saw that the shopkeeper's attitude suddenly changed, and she knew that it must be Wu Shuang who said something and threatened the shopkeeper, she felt that there was nothing wrong with this, what kind of method should be used for what kind of person, ask well, and occasionally use some small means.

Seeing that the shopkeeper had yielded, Wu Shuang took his arm off the shopkeeper's shoulder and brought the shopkeeper to the table, wanting him to explain the situation outside in detail.

After the shopkeeper sat down, Wu Shuang sat on the left side of the shopkeeper, Ning Er sat down on the left side of Wu Shuang, Zijian sat on the right hand side of the shopkeeper, and Qianxue saw Wu Shuang at the door that he had finished the shopkeeper, so he immediately walked over and sat on the right hand side of Zijian. A few people surrounded the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper couldn't run away if he wanted to.

"Quick, tell me what's going on, why there's no one on the street outside, why all the inns say they're full?" Wu Shuang is also an anxious child, everyone just sat down, and they wanted to hurry up after the boss to ask what was going on, wanting to know what was going on.

"At first glance, you are outsiders, you may just come here and don't know, we here have not been very peaceful recently, and everyone is afraid to go out when it is almost dark, and they are all staying at home, afraid that someone in the family will disappear." The shopkeeper first told the reason why there was no one on the street, and also said that someone was missing.

"Missing?" Ning'er felt incredible, obviously she hadn't left Lin'an County yet, how could such a thing happen, they felt that the security in Lin'an County was very good, and the place where they stayed before was also very prosperous, and it was very lively at night, why did someone suddenly go missing when they arrived in this place?

"Originally, we weren't like this here, and it was quite peaceful, in the past two months, I don't know why someone has always disappeared at night for some reason, and the yamen has also sent people to look for it, but they can't find it, and now it's been two months, and more than 20 people have been missing, men, women, and children, and no one knows how they disappeared, and the yamen hasn't found out until now." The more the shopkeeper talked, the more excited he became, and there was a faint sense of worry, "Alas, who knows who will disappear today, and who dares to go out?" ”

"This, how can this be, is there nothing the yamen can do now?" Ning Er heard what the shopkeeper said, and she was also worried, the case of missing people has not been solved for three months, it seems that this yamen is not inactive, it is really powerless.

"What about Wu Ming, the county lord of Lin'an County, didn't he send someone to investigate?" Wu Shuang hadn't told Ning Er that their father was the county lord of Lin'an County, so when they asked, they were a little cautious, if they hadn't said it a little slower, they almost said that my father didn't bring anyone here, but fortunately, Wu Shuang's brain turned fast enough, otherwise his identity would have been told by himself; He didn't want Ning'er and the others to know whose son he was, he wanted them to know that it was only him Wu Shuang himself who he liked.

"Although the disappearance of this population is a major event, but we, who are in the poor and remote areas of Liu'an Township, are also in charge of the Yamen, but those officials dare to report it, and if they report the disappearance of the population, their black gauze hats will not be guaranteed, so they will turn a blind eye, and only we, the poor people, are afraid!" The shopkeeper told the matter, and the officials did the same, and generally reported innocuous small cases to the top, and who would really worry about such big cases that threatened their official positions, unless it threatened their own interests and safety.

"We must teach those bad people a good lesson, so that they will never dare to do bad things in the future!" Qianxue listened to what the shopkeeper said, and angrily picked up the sword in her hand, as if she was going to rush out to fight with others at any time.

"Ning'er, stay and help them!" "That's right, Ning'er, help them." Qian Xue first said the idea of wanting to help them, and then Wu Shuang also spoke behind and echoed, wanting Ning'er to agree and help these people.

Ning Er knows that Qianxue and Wu Shuang know martial arts, both have chivalrous hearts, and are willing to help others, in fact, Ning Er also wants to help them in her heart, Ning Er originally wanted to come out to see when she came out this time, and she didn't want to live like before, isn't this an opportunity, an opportunity to prove her worth.

"I want to help them too, Yiyi, Zijian, and the two of you are willing to help them together?" Ning Er didn't want to force others, so she thought about asking Yiyi and Zi Jian's opinions, after they heard about this, they didn't speak, Ning Er didn't know what they thought in their hearts, I don't know if they want to be together.

Yiyi heard Miss's words, but Zijian spoke first. "Well, I know that without the discomfort and sorrow of my relatives, my family would not be able to find it immediately, and since I am with you, then I will naturally participate in it." Zijian suddenly said a little more at this time, probably because when it came to disappearance, he thought of his own experience, so he said more.

"I, since Miss said to help, then help." Yiyi didn't say her own opinion, but replaced her own thoughts with Miss's opinion, and when she spoke, she seemed a little embarrassed; In fact, in Yiyi's heart, she doesn't want to help anyone, she has followed Ning'er since she was a child, and she has done a lot, and she and her mother have helped Ning'er a lot in the Liu family, Yiyi doesn't know why she has to help others when she comes out, she just wants to go to the capital safely and then go home with Miss.

"Great, shopkeeper, tell me the specific situation!" When Qianxue heard that everyone agreed, she couldn't wait for the shopkeeper to explain it in detail. She has just come down the mountain, and she hasn't done anything big, if she really rescues those missing people, she goes back, the master will be very happy, and she herself will feel very meaningful, it turns out that martial arts are really not learned in vain, what the master said is still reasonable.
