"Auntie, where did the uncle go?" Meng Jiangnu asked curiously, because there was only the figure of the eldest lady in the entire kitchen.

"The boss, I'm going to look for a carriage for you early in the morning." The eldest lady on the side was busy with the work in her hands, and said to Meng Jiangnu with a smile.

"It's really troublesome, uncle." After listening to the eldest mother's words, Meng Jiangnu said with a touched face.

"Why is the silly girl so polite to the eldest mother?" The eldest lady listened to Jiang Nu's words, and said to Meng Jiangnu with a smile: "I look at you with the head of the house, and I think you are very kind, as if you are your own child." ”

Hearing the eldest mother talk about the child, Li Jiang on the side was even more curious, the eldest mother and the uncle are not young, it stands to reason that the family should be full of children and grandchildren, but there are only two people in this family, the eldest mother and the uncle, Li Jiang thought, and asked the eldest mother curiously: "Auntie, where are your children?" ”

The eldest mother listened to Li Jiang's words, obviously paused, and the smile on her face disappeared, and after a while, the eldest mother reappeared with a smile and said: "I have a son who was arrested to repair the Great Wall a few years ago, and there is no news after that." ”

"How come there is no news?" Li Jiang asked, "Didn't the uncle go to inquire?" ”

"How could it not be? When my son was first arrested, my family was in charge, and I went to the city every day to inquire. The eldest lady put down the things in her hand, and then her eyes showed sadness, and she sighed and said: "At first, the head of the family can still find out the news, and you can know that he is just working hard inside, but one day, the head of the family still went to the city to inquire about the news, but there is no news of the son anymore, no matter how we inquire and ask for help, there is no news at all." ”

Seeing the eldest lady's sad face, Meng Jiangnu stepped forward to hold the eldest lady's hand, wanting to soothe her sad emotions.

"Why is there no news all of a sudden? Regardless of whether the person is dead or alive, there will always be news, and it is impossible to disappear without a trace. Li Jiang felt that this matter was a little strange.

"That's what we said at the time, and we haven't given up looking for him all these years, but he is like evaporating from the world, with no news and no clues." The eldest lady looked at Meng Jiangnu and Li Jiang, who cared about her, accepted her emotions, showed a smile, and then said, "You are very lucky to be able to find the person you are looking for." ”

"Auntie, what is your son's name? When we get to the Great Wall, we'll ask you about it. Li Jiang looked at the kind-hearted and easy-going lady and said.

"My son's name is Ah Niu." The eldest lady listened to Li Jiang's words, and was very grateful in her heart, and then said, "Your heart is really good. ”

"It's just a gesture, don't worry, auntie, if we find your son, we will definitely bring him back to see you." Li Jiang said seriously to the eldest mother.

"Good, good." The eldest lady listened to Li Jiang's words, gratefully wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then said with a smile: "Early in the morning, let's not talk about these unhappy things, I quickly prepared breakfast, and waited for those sons to eat in a few beds." ”

After speaking, the eldest lady turned around and continued to make her breakfast, and did not forget to say to Meng Jiangnu and Li Jiang: "You go over there to rest quickly, and I will call you when the meal is ready." ”

After listening to the eldest mother's words, Meng Jiangnu and Li Jiang didn't say anything more, no longer bothered the eldest mother, and the two walked to the courtyard on the side and sat down.

"There are so many strange things happening at the Great Wall." After Li Jiang sat down, he slowly said to Wen Jiang: "How could a person disappear for no reason, something must have happened." ”

"There are so many people who build the Great Wall, if one or two are missing, there will definitely be no one to take care of them." Meng Jiangnu replied: "If there are fewer people and not enough people, then the officers and soldiers will only catch strong men in the homes of ordinary people." ”

"When these things reach the Great Wall, you must tell Brother Meng and let Brother Meng find out." Li Jiang said.

"What are you going to say to Lao Meng?" Zhao Gao's voice suddenly appeared.

"Ah Gao, you're up." Li Jiang heard Zhao Gao's voice and turned around and said.

"yes, why do you wake up so early and don't rest for a while?" Zhao Gao showed a smile and said to Li Jiang.

"I can't sleep, Sister Meng will come out with me and sit down." Li Jiang explained.

"Can't sleep? How can you not sleep? Is there something uncomfortable? After listening to Li Jiang's words, Zhao Gao asked with a concerned face, afraid that Li Jiang would feel uncomfortable.

"Ah Gao, don't be so nervous." Looking at Zhao Gao, who cared about him, Li Jiang showed a sweet smile on his face and said, "I should have rested a lot before, so I couldn't sleep." ”

"Really?" After listening to Li Jiang's words, Zhao Gao was still a little uneasy, and looked Li Jiang up and down.

"Really!" Li Jiang said to Zhao Gao with a smile.

"If you're not feeling well, tell me." Zhao Gao looked at Li Jiang with a smile on his face, as if there was really nothing uncomfortable, so he put his heart down and said slowly.

"Got it." Li Jiang said with a smile on his face.

"What were you guys talking about?" Zhao Gao saw that Li Jiang had nothing to do, so he asked curiously.

"The eldest mother's son also went to build the Great Wall." Meng Jiangnu replied.

"King Qin's order is that ordinary people must send out a strong man to repair the Great Wall, what's so strange about this? Could it be that the eldest lady wants us to find a son for her when we go to the Great Wall? Zhao Gao listened to Meng Jiangnu's words and said.

"Ah Gao, the eldest mother's son has disappeared on the Great Wall." Li Jiang said to Zhao Gao.

"Missing?" Zhao Gao asked incomprehensibly, "Is it dead?" Zhao Gao thought that the people who disappeared on the Great Wall were nothing more than people who had died.

"The eldest mother said that her son disappeared without a trace overnight, and there was no news" Li Jiang always felt that there was something wrong with this.

"Those who built the Great Wall died of illness and died of labor, and there are countless others. Maybe the person in charge saw that the person was gone, so he buried it directly. Zhao Gao didn't think much about it, it was normal for these things to happen on the Great Wall.

"Don't you think it's strange? How can a person disappear without a trace overnight, without seeing anyone alive or dead. There is no news at all, even if someone dies and is buried, then someone should know, how can there be no news at all? Li Jiang listened to Zhao Gao's words and said disagree.

Indeed, what Li Jiang said also makes sense, Zhao Gao thought for a while and said: "We don't know what the specific situation is, we will find out when we get to the Great Wall, and then ask Lao Meng to help inquire." ”

"Ah Gao, you don't think I'm too much to do, are you? I just think that the eldest mother and uncle are so kind and want to help them find their son. Li Jiang listened to Zhao Gao's words, afraid that Zhao Gao would feel that he had too many things.

"How so? I know Jiang'er, you have a kind heart, and I will help you. Seeing Li Jiang's expression, Zhao Gao touched Li Jiang's head with a smile and said.

Muki also packed himself up and went out of the house and went out into the courtyard. After a while, the eldest lady came to the courtyard with hot porridge, put it on the table, and then said with a smile: "You are all up, hurry up and eat it while it is hot." ”

"Thank you for your hospitality." Everyone said with a smile on their faces, there was no etiquette from last night, but they got a lot closer to each other.

"You're welcome, there are a few steamed buns, I'll serve them and you eat them first." The eldest lady happily ran to bring the steamed buns over again.

Zhao Gao and others quickly ran out of breakfast, and at this time, the uncle came back from outside the door, and the eldest lady hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How did you find the carriage?" ”

The uncle shook his head, then walked up to Zhao Gao's people, and said with an apologetic face: "Our village is poor, and most of the young people have been arrested to repair the Great Wall. ”

"It's all right, uncle." Zhao Gao stood up and said to the uncle: "You and the aunt took us in for one night, it is already a great kindness to us, the distance from here to the Great Wall is not far away as the uncle said, and our two horses are enough." ”

"Yes, uncle." Li Jiang also got up and said, "Carriages and the like, we can buy them when we get to the town." ”

"We've rested too, let's get to town a little early." Muki stood up and said.

Everyone did not object, so they went back to the room, took out their luggage, and the aunt and uncle sent Zhao Gao's people to the door and watched them leave.

After walking a short distance, Li Jiang, who was sitting on horseback, suddenly said: "Auntie burned the rice that my uncle changed back for us to eat in the morning, so what should they do?" ”

Zhao Gao listened to Li Jiang's words, nodded the tip of Li Jiang's nose, smiled and said, "Don't worry, I secretly put the silver on their stove before I left." ”

"Ah Gao, that's smart." Li Jiang listened to Zhao Gao's words and praised with a smile on his face.

Meng Jiangnu and Mu Qi on the side looked at Li Jiang and Zhao Gao, and did not speak, it is good that everyone knows some things.

Getting closer and closer to the Great Wall, Mu Qi's hand holding the reins sweated a lot, no one knew what Mu Qi was thinking in his heart, even Mu Qi himself was very entangled, I hope to go on like this, never reach the Great Wall.

"It's almost time to town." Fine sweat was already breaking out on Li Jiang's forehead in the sun, and Li Jiang asked.

"I think it's almost there." Zhao Gao replied, then looked down at Li Jiang, found the fine sweat on her forehead, and asked with concern, "Do you want to take a break here?" ”

"No need, let's hurry and rest when we get to town." Li Jiang shook his head and said.

"Okay." Zhao Gao didn't say much, because something happened and arrived later than originally expected, and Lao Meng should be waiting in Changcheng.

Just as everyone was in a hurry to hurry, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from behind.

Zhao Gao and others looked back and saw a group of people riding horses rushing towards them not far away.

Zhao Gao and Mu Qi glanced at each other, and they understood what the other party was thinking, this group of people was not good.

Mu Qi immediately jumped on the horse's back and galloped away with Meng Jiangnu.

Zhao Gao also said to Changchun: "Run to the mountains and find a way to go to the town." After speaking, Zhao Gao took Li Jiang and ran away.

Changchun listened to Zhao Gao's words, didn't say a word, and immediately ran to the hillside next to him, looking at his son's expression, Changchun knew that there must be some danger, he couldn't be a burden to his son, Changchun thought of this, so he ran faster.
