Chapter 52: A Deserted Town
The vibrant sun shines through the clouds and onto the earth, the mist rises on the ground, and the beautiful village returns to its former tranquility. Uncle Shi refused the iron money handed over by Xu Gang, and scolded him for being too urban, bidding farewell to Uncle Shi's grandson, Xu Gang and the others left the village with the mystery of the mysterious man, and rushed forward in the direction pointed by the sun.
"Uncle Gang, when will we be able to get home? I miss my father and mother kissing them! Huzi lay on Xu Gang's back, very quiet, except for asking when he would get home every other day, he didn't cry or make trouble.
"Huzi, over the mountain in front, we can see the town!" Xu Gang held the little guy in one hand and pointed to the hill not far away with the other.
Liu Ziyi and Wu Ling'er also looked in the direction of his finger, the mountain was overgrown with bamboo, and there were some trees such as pines and cypresses, and the forest was covered with weeds.
The town has lost its former liveliness, most of the houses are closed, the streets are deserted, the ground is full of garbage, it looks very decadent, only more than a dozen red-clothed catchers are constantly patrolling the streets.
"What do you want to do?" Looking at those catchers who were about to surround themselves and others in the middle, Xu Gang felt that his whole head was big, so he came out of the cell, and it stands to reason that the last time he went in was designed by Qiu Tianlong, and he definitely didn't leave a record of the case, why was he surrounded by officials as soon as he came back!
At this time, he stood up and caught a fast, from the awe-inspiring gaze in the eyes of other fast catchers, it can be seen that this person is the leader of the fast, I saw him take two steps forward, and kept looking at them, Xu Gang had already changed out of his tattered clothes, wearing Uncle Shi's green shirt, which looked a little fat, Wu Ling'er was also wearing the clothes left by Shi Xiaoniang's mother, it was a light blue narrow-sleeved placket, with a white bandeau inside, **** half exposed, Liu Ziyi also changed her dress that had been worn for thousands of years, dressed similarly to Wu Ling'er, and her good figure was undoubtedly at a glance, Simple and simple clothes, worn on them, there is also a sense of elegance and tranquility.
"Who are you, and where did the child on your back come from?" This leader looked at the sleeping tiger on Xu Gang's back, he didn't think that the tiger was really asleep, and he fainted! Drugged! The words lingered in his head.
"This poor master, this is my neighbor's child, he was arrested, I met him by chance, rescued him, and now I am sending him home, his house is not far ahead." Xu Gang replied respectfully, he really didn't want to offend these catchers.
"Uncle Gang" At this moment, Huzi woke up, looked at the officials around him, was a little scared, and shouted Xu Gang, and it was precisely because of this shout that the doubts in the hearts of the catchers were dispelled, and they began to believe Xu Gang's words, and they let go of their hands gripping the handle of the knife.
"This is the head of Meishan County! We are all fast catchers of the county government. One of them stood one step behind the leader and introduced the identity of the leader.
Seeing that Xu Gang had a very good attitude, and now that the misunderstanding has been eliminated, the head of the criminal arrester hugged his fists and gave a salute, and said with a somewhat serious expression: "This son, in recent days, there have been frequent cases of children being stolen in the villages and towns around Meizhou City, since you have seen thieves, please come back to Yamen with us to assist us in handling the case." ”
"Wait until we send the child back first." Obviously, he couldn't hide, so Xu Gang decided to send Huzi back first, so as not to worry Uncle Zhang's family.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Hearing this, the head of the torture arrester nodded, and after taking two catchers as his entourage, he let the others continue to patrol. Along the way, Xu Gang told the arrest head his name and told him how they rescued the two children in the village, of course, he only said that he had beaten away the thieves.
The door of Uncle Zhang's house was open, and Xu Gang and the others bypassed the wall and came to the courtyard, but they didn't see a single person.
"Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang" Xu Gang shouted a few times, but no one responded.
"Weng Weng, Weng Weng~~" Huzi also followed his uncle, calling his grandfather, but still no one responded, it seems that they all went out to look for Huzi.
Xu Gang looked at Liu Ziyi and Wu Ling'er and frowned! The disappearance of these children must be inseparable from the Demon Gate, Sister Ziyi's injuries are not good, Wu Ling'er and the people of the Demon Gate are in trouble, the two of them, girls, don't let them follow them around anymore, but looking at the appearance of these officials, I'm afraid they won't let them leave easily, what should I do?
Suddenly, his eyes lit up: yes, just do it!
"Torture head, I'll go back with you first! The two of them were originally met by me in a small mountain village, and I was entrusted by their family to take them to Meizhou City to join relatives, and it has nothing to do with this matter, you see? Xu Gang said while giving the two of them a look, at first Wu Ling'er pouted slightly to express her objection, and finally saw that Xu Gang was a little unhappy, so she nodded slightly.
"Since they have nothing to do with it, let us go and look for their relatives when they get to the city!" The head of the torture officer looked at Wu Ling'er and them, he is also a person who loves beauty, if these two delicate little ladies are affected by them, it is indeed very inappropriate.
"Thank you for the arrest, I'm afraid that the people of Huzi's family will go out to look for him" Huzi went into the house to look around, and returned to Xu Gang dejectedly, looking at the cloudy face of the little guy, Xu Gang still wanted to help Huzi find his family first.
"Don't worry, you stay until the people in this child's family come back, and Xu Gongzi will follow me back to the county office." The head of the torture arrester ordered one of the arresters to stay quickly, and then pulled Xu Gang to the outside of the house. During this time, he was forced to be tightened by the county Cheng, the county only issued a death order yesterday, and the murderer must be caught within seven days, otherwise he will be allowed to go home and farm, this has been a day, he has no clue at all, Xu Gang can be said to be sending carbon in the snow, he really doesn't want to put it on hold anymore.
"Uncle Gang, Uncle Gang Woo~~~"
"Huzi is good, don't cry, don't cry, Uncle Gang will always accompany you, Uncle Gang will go out to do something first, and come back in a while" Huzi saw Xu Gang walking out of the door, and immediately chased after him, crying while running, he quickly picked him up and persuaded him.
"Don't, don't~~~" The little guy couldn't find anyone at home anymore and regarded Xu Gang as a dependent.
"Arrest head, how do you think this is good?" Xu Gang really can't do it, he also wants to help the government find these missing children, if he can uproot the demon gate by the way, it would be even better.
"This" The head of the torturer grabbed his head, frowned and thought for a moment, and then came up with a new idea: "Since the tiger can't do without you, then take it back to the county government with you!" After speaking, he pointed to the catcher who stayed: "You still stay here, if Huzi's family comes back, you tell them where Huzi is, and then bring them to the county government to pick up people." ”
"Yes!"
