Chapter 264: Finding Clues in the Sugar Gourd

"Hey—"

The shopkeeper looked at the young man who walked out quickly, and couldn't help frowning, muttering, "What's the matter......

"Young Master—"

Ami, who was looking outside the store, turned around and saw the young man coming out of the small door, and couldn't help but shout in surprise, "Young master, I'm here-"

As the words fell, Ami led the carriage and ran quickly in the direction of Su Yan.

"Young Master, what's wrong with you? What kind of place is this? How did you get out of here? Ami looked at the small door on the side and scratched her head in confusion. No wonder he didn't find the young master just now, it turned out that the young master ran inside.

Su Yan frowned slightly, and looked to the left and right, the west was the direction they came, that is, the direction in which Su Wan came that evening, and the east was the direction in which Su Wan left, that is, the direction where she could reach the Ye family.

Su Wan bought Jingsheng's favorite hibiscus cake and left in the direction of the east, obviously preparing to return to the Ye family, but why didn't she meet Jingsheng and them......

Su Yan frowned, suddenly his eyes tightened, and he walked briskly along the street to the east.

"Hey—young master—"

Ami couldn't help but be startled when he saw the young master who walked away without saying a word, and hurriedly led the carriage to follow.

"Young master, young master, slow down, did you think of something, right?" Ami followed behind Su Yan, looking at his young master's frowning and silent appearance, Ami suddenly felt that he was similar to the air around him, and he seemed very transparent and had no sense of existence.

The long streets, without the shouting of the hawkers during the day, seemed much cleaner and much more deserted.

Su Yan walked on the long street, with a path made of blue bricks under his feet, but his eyes looked to the left and right from time to time.

This road is the only way to return to the Ye family. If Su Wan wants to go back to the Ye family, then she will inevitably have to pass through this road.

In front of a somewhat dilapidated door, a little boy was squatting in the doorway piling up sand, with no other companions, only one person who was having fun.

Su Yan stopped, stepped back, and his eyes fell on the little boy who was squatting at the door and playing with sand.

Ami followed, and looked at the eyes of his young master, just a child playing with mud and sand, what's so nice about this?

"Young Master......"

Ami turned his head to look at his young master, but he saw his young master walking straight towards the little boy.

"Young Master......"

Ami, who was ignored again, was depressed, is his existence really lacking a sense of existence?!

Ami pouted, turned around and hugged the head of the horse that was close to him, the horse neighed, but did not resist, but lowered his head and chewed on the belt that Ami had fallen.

"Little friend." Su Yan walked in front of the little boy and looked at the child who was piling up mud and sand, and spoke softly.

The little boy looked at a large shadow that suddenly appeared on the ground,

I couldn't help but raise my head, and what caught my eye was a good-looking big brother, who looked very gentle and amiable.

The little boy just looked at Su Yan blankly, forgetting for a moment that he had half piled up the mud and sand.

Su Yan pursed her lips and smiled, "Little friend, is this your home?" Su Yan looked at the door beside him that had been peeled off, it looked a little shabby, and he had been thinking about it for some years.

The little boy didn't answer, just looked at the big brother in front of him, and then looked at the sugar gourd inserted in a stall across the street, which looked very attractive.

Su Yan followed the little boy's gaze, locked the sugar gourd on the opposite stall at a glance, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and walked over.

The little boy looked at the figure of the big brother going and returning, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the two sugar gourds in the big brother's hands, and his eyes were full of greed.

Ami snorted dissatisfiedly when he saw the child whose eyes lit up at the sight of the sugar gourd.

The young master had never bought sugar gourds for him to eat......

Su Yan walked up to the child and handed over a sugar gourd in his hand.

The child happily took it, stared at the sugar gourd in his hand, stared for a moment and looked up at the big brother in front of him reluctantly, a pair of bright eyes flickered, very good-looking.

Seeing this, Su Yan curled his lips and smiled, "Little friend, is this your home?" Su Yan pointed to the courtyard beside him.

The little boy glanced at it and nodded, acquiescing.

Seeing the little boy's well-behaved appearance, Su Yan's eyes fell on the half-piled mud and sand in front of him, and his eyelids raised slightly to look at the child, "You play here every day?" ”

The little boy looked down at the mud and sand on the ground and nodded.

Su Yan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this, "Is it okay for that brother to ask you about someone?" ”

The little boy stared at Su Yan for a long time before nodding.

Su Yan smiled and gestured with his hand, "Little friend, did you see a young lady the night before yesterday, about this tall, sixteen or seventeen, very beautiful and cute." She's supposed to pass by you, too, do you have any impressions? ”

The little boy looked at the height of the big brother in front of him, his eyes lowered slightly, and he couldn't help but think of the sister he took to the wasteland when he looked at the sugar gourd in his hand.

The little boy looked up at the big brother in front of him, then nodded.

Su Yan was overjoyed, "Then have you seen where she went?" ”

The little boy looked at the big brother in front of him, and his eyes fell on the sugar gourd in the big brother's hand.

Seeing this, Su Yan handed the sugar gourd in his hand to the little boy, "Little friend, that sister is a very important person for my brother, can you look for that sister for your brother?" ”

The little boy didn't take the sugar gourd handed over by Su Yan, but reached out and grabbed Su Yan's hand and ran forward.

Su Yan was dragged by the little boy and could only follow.

"Hey, little rabbit, where are you going to take my young master—

—”

Ami saw that the child was dragging his young master and ran, and he couldn't help but be angry and dissatisfied, and chased after the carriage quickly.

The little boy dragged Su Yan all the way to the wasteland he had come to before.

Looking at the incomparably desolate place, Su Yan couldn't help frowning.

How did Su Wan come to this place?

The little boy stopped, looking at the ground beneath his feet, and he could clearly remember that he had brought the older sister here.

The little boy lowered his head, completely lacking the courage to look up at the big brother beside him.

"Kid, are you sure that sister is here?" Su Yan bent over, put his hand on the little boy's shoulder and asked, his tone anxious.

For this, Su Yan always had a bad premonition.

The little boy lowered his head and did not respond, his eyes just looked at the sugar gourd in Su Yan's hand, and then took advantage of Su Yan's inattention to snatch the sugar gourd and bent over and ran from under Su Yan's arm.

"Hey, little ghost—"

Ami, who was chasing after him, saw the child who dared to snatch something and run away, and couldn't help but get angry, and opened his arms to intercept the child.

Seeing this, the child quickly turned around and ran into the barren grass pile on the side, and was soon overwhelmed by the barren grass that was half a person high.

"Hey, this little ghost—"

"Stop chasing."

Su Yan stopped Ami, who was about to catch up, and looked at the direction where the child disappeared, Su Yan frowned and looked around.

Su Wan, have you really been here?

"Young Master, why did you let that little ghost go so easily?"

Ami couldn't help frowning as she looked in the direction the kid ran away.

This little ghost is running pretty fast!

"And what do you want?" Su Yan looked at Ami, "Arrest him and beat him?" ”

"I," Ami choked, looking at his young master's indifferent expression, his eyelids drooped, and he muttered in a low voice, "I don't really want to beat him, I just want to educate him a few words......"

"Well, after all, it's a child, and it's better to leave the discipline to his parents." Su Yan looked around, such a desolate place, how could Su Wan come here.

"Young master, this kid brought us here, he didn't lie to us, he actually wanted to trick the sugar gourd to eat." Ami couldn't help frowning as she looked at the desolate appearance around her.

If that's combined with a bit of wind or something, it's scary here.

Seeing this, Ami couldn't help but hide behind the young master.

"I don't think so." Su Yan frowned, "How could this kid know that we went to ask him, and he ran all the way to be extra careful and cautious, looking at the situation all the way from time to time, so this is enough to show that he didn't bring us here at random, but brought us here while thinking about it." ”

Although Ami very much agrees with the young master's reasoning,

"Young Master, what is Miss Yan doing here? It's too scary here, I'm scared when I look at it, Yan Xiao

Sister, how can such a weak woman not be afraid? ”

Ami touched his arm and felt goosebumps erupt all over his body.

"There's got to be something in here that we don't know." Su Yan's brows furrowed, and Ami expressed his doubts, but it just dispelled his doubts.

The child's strange behavior can only show that Su Wan has really been to this place.

"We'll split up and see if there are any clues." When the words fell, Su Yan was about to leave.

"Huh?!"

Ami looked at the back of his young master walking forward, and his heart was cold.

Such a desolate place, so many weeds, it is going to be dark this day. Isn't it a bit unsafe to look for them separately now......

Ami looked at his young master and swallowed the words that came to his lips.

That's it, he's a big man, he's not afraid!

Ami gave herself courage, and suddenly a cool breeze blew and hit Ami's body, with bursts of grass moving. Ami's heart was shocked, her body trembled, she hunched over, shrunk her body, and looked for the surroundings very cautiously.

Su Yan looked at the growth of the barren grass, but found that one side of the grass was a little crooked. Su Yan walked over quickly, brushed aside the wild grass, and found the grass branches that had been crushed, a large one, which was crushed and had traces of struggle.

Su Yan continued to walk along the crushed grass branch, and found a drag mark, but it quickly disappeared. There is a deep shoe print where the drag mark disappears.

Su Yan measured it with his fingers, it was a man's shoes, the soles of his feet were very large, and the force was very strong, indicating that he might be doing heavy work at that time, or maybe he was carrying some heavy objects.

Su Yan's eyes tightened, and his brows furrowed.

It's not good, Su Wan is in danger!

Su Yan got up quickly and walked out of the barren grassland.

"Young Master, have you found anything?" Ami saw his own young master who was suddenly in a hurry, and couldn't help but walk over quickly.

"Go back, go back to Ye's house!"

Su Yan's voice was decisive, so he walked straight to the side of the carriage.

Seeing this, Ami hurriedly ran over, turned the horse's head, jumped into the carriage, and headed in the direction of the Ye family.

Although I didn't understand what the situation was, looking at the appearance of my young master, it seemed that I had found a clue about Miss Yan.

Ami didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly whipped up and ran towards the Ye family.

——

When Zhang Tianshi helped Ye Jingsheng back to the Ye family, Uncle Qin had just arrived at the Ye family.

As the saying goes, as soon as the front foot arrives, the back foot comes.
