Chapter 53: Missing
This group of people from Qinzhou did not stop because of the people who stopped to watch and talk on both sides, and shouted slogans such as "Qinzhou is willing to return to the territory of the Great Wei" while walking in the direction of the imperial city.
What does the court think, now it is not for him to interfere, his qualifications are still too shallow, and his current grade does not even have the qualifications to go to the court, and this kind of thing is not Chen Xu's turn.
At this time, some people were ready to leave after watching the excitement and scattered, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while, but there was no collective stampede.
The royal road is very wide.
"Third sister, let's go back." Chen Xu turned his head and wanted to say to the third sister. But there was no sign of her beside her.
The third sister is gone!
Where did she get lost?
Chen Xu didn't have time to blame the third sister for not being well-behaved, and she didn't follow her obediently.
He frowned, contemplating the possibilities. Definitely not watching the "demonstrations" there, it was he who led her away at that time.
Suddenly, in the midst of lightning, they just met an acrobat on the road, which attracted a lot of people to watch.
Could it be at that time.
I called "gone" at the time, and forgot to pay attention to whether the third sister came with me.
Blame yourself! Chen Xu was secretly annoyed.
Hurriedly and anxiously rushed to find someone, and when they got there, the acrobats were performing a chest stone, surrounded by rows and rows of people.
From time to time, the spectators applauded.
Looking around, there is not even the shadow of the third sister.
Chen Xu was a little panicked.
……
And the other side.
After Chen Xu called for the third sister, she silently followed behind Chen Xu.
However, a group of people who didn't know where they came from crossed the road from the side and washed away Chen Xu and her. She tried to squeeze through, but she was too small to get past it, and instead fell. When the crowd dispersed, Chen Xu's figure was no longer in sight.
"Where? Where is it? The third sister looked around in a panic and muttered, her heart pounding like a giant drum.
Facing unfamiliar faces, although people came and went, and people were buzzing, such a prosperous and lively scene did not bring her any peace of mind, and she was extremely uneasy in her heart.
The third sister has never been far away, and now she is in a metropolis like Tokyo, where she lives in a sparse place, her eyes are black, she always walks alone, she feels the same everywhere, and she can't find her way back.
There are too many people here, so many of them make her afraid, unaccompanied, strange and helpless.
had to go back to the same place, standing in a corner and waiting, waiting for Chen Xu to come to her.
At this time, a man stared at her.
"Little lady, little lady." A middle-aged man in his forties approached him, and when he saw that the first sound did not attract the attention of the third sister, he shouted again.
"Huh?" With a pair of big eyes filled with confusion, the third sister looked at the middle-aged man walking towards her suspiciously.
She had never seen this person in her memory.
The middle-aged man had a smile on his face, so that the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together, like a brilliant chrysanthemum.
"The little lady is looking for someone?" The middle-aged man asked with a kind smile, he had just seen that this little lady had no master, standing in the corner, but her eyes were looking around, as if she was eager to find someone.
"Yes." Although I don't know how this uncle knows, the third sister still answered truthfully.
"That's right, your family is separated from you, and they are in a hurry, looking for you everywhere. I had just met him, and he asked me if I had ever seen a young lady of twelve or thirteen. A hint of imperceptible joy flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and the chrysanthemum-like folds on his face were even more brilliant.
When the third sister heard this, she hurriedly said in surprise: "Is it a very tall, very young Langjun, others call him Brother Xu." also added Chen Xu's name by the way to confirm.
"Brother Xu, I've never heard of it. Whatever. The middle-aged man muttered in his heart and didn't say it. But on the surface, he nodded frequently like a chicken pecking at a grain of rice, and said, "Yes, that Langjun is still very worried."
The third sister has lived in a small village in Hedong since she was a child, she is young and has not been deeply involved in the world, how can she think that she is falling into the trap of the other party step by step.
"Where is he?" The simple-minded third sister believed it and asked.
"I'll take you." The middle-aged man said at this time.
The third sister hesitated, but in the end she chose to believe it and followed the middle-aged man to find "Brother Xu".
But the middle-aged man took her on the roads and alleys, and the more she walked, the more she went, the more she bent the road, and at this time, she simply realized that something was wrong.
The uneasy heart in the third sister's heart was beating faster and faster, ready to take the opportunity to turn around and escape.
But he didn't know that the cunning hunter had already shown a hideous smile.
The middle-aged man has been secretly observing her expression, the little girl is young and can't hide things on her face, so the man noticed it.
"It's not that easy to run!" The middle-aged man's face was still as smiling as a chrysanthemum as always, but at this time it looked particularly cruel and without any warmth.
He grabbed her with one hand and pulled her to the other.
The third sister was so frightened that she kicked her hands and feet, and the nails on her fingers scratched the skin of the man's arms.
The man showed a painful expression on his face, the more irritable he was, the kindness just now was his disguise, he was panicked along the way, and now he was scratched by the third sister, which completely annoyed him, and when he became angry, a slap hit the little girl's face with a "snap", this slap hit hard, and the third sister's face was suddenly red and swollen with a slap mark.
The third sister cried when she was beaten, and when the man heard her cry like this after the beating, he was also very scared, afraid that she would be heard and reported to the official, so he covered her mouth with his hand, so that she couldn't make a sound, and threatened: "You shout again, Lao Tzu will chop you up and feed you to the dog."
He didn't beat her again, after all, he had to sell her when the time came, and if she broke it, she couldn't sell it for a few dollars.
The third sister has eaten well these days, and her face has gradually become ruddy, no longer the same as before, and she is not like the original skin and bones, but she is young, her body bones have not yet opened, and she is very thin.
The man plugged the third sister's mouth with a rag, carried her up, and ran in one direction, the little girl was too light, there were not a few taels of meat, and it did not bring a great burden to the man.
After some time, the man arrived at his destination.
Looking at its building, this is actually a temple, but the building here is dilapidated, it seems that the incense has been cut off very early, and the place is remote and inaccessible.
The man cautiously glanced around and saw that there was no one. So he walked to the temple door, and there was a rusty beast head pedestal knocker on the door, and he picked it up and knocked it a few times.
At this time, there was movement inside, the door slowly opened, and a person poked his head out, and the two said a few words to each other, which seemed to be a code. Soon the man carried the third sister in.
……
"Xiaoyou, scan the surroundings for me and find out where the third sister has gone." Chen Xu sent a command to the system elf Xiaoyou.
In this mortal world without extraordinary power, there is no aura, and if you want to upgrade and improve your authority, you can only rely on the road of dominating the world. Many of the functions of the current system are not open and incomplete. But there are still a few useful features.
One of them is a radar-like scanning function that scans for traces of the lives of nearby people who have been in contact with the host.
