"Is this a basket of jujube flowers?"

Some villagers living near Zaohua's house confirmed that this was indeed the basket used by Zaohua to hold pigweed.

Xiao Shu leaned against the tree and looked at the cliff mouth that was quite deep underground, and said, "I need a hemp rope." ”

Everyone was also worried about whether the jujube flower accidentally stepped on the air and fell, and after hearing that he needed hemp rope, someone hurriedly returned to get it.

After Xiao Shu got the hemp rope, one part was tied to himself, and the other was tied to a thick tree, and slowly fell down the steep cliff, and Chu Xinyun looked at it and his heart was lifted.

After almost a cup of tea, he slowly climbed up along the rope, and everyone hurriedly surrounded him and pulled him up the cliff.

Anxious hurriedly asked, "How is it?" There's no one down there, right?"

Xiao Shu shook his head: "I looked for it carefully, the bottom is empty, and the jujube flower should still be alive." ”

Hearing him say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Since there is no one under the mountain, where can the jujube flower go?

Looking at the baskets and pigweed that fell aside, everyone had a faint bad premonition in their hearts.

They searched the neighborhood again until the sun went down and it was dark.

And another group of villagers who searched nearby also returned in vain, Zaohua's milk cried hoarsely, Zaohua has been dependent on her since she was a child, and now she sees that she can live a good life, but there is no one.

Aunt Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, and Village Chief Chu frowned and said, "Some villagers said that they had seen a few unfamiliar faces entering the village, and it was estimated that they were abductors. ”

This search for so long has not been whereabouts and it is cold and freezing, everyone has to go home to cook on the fire, before leaving, the village chief also warned that all families with children should pay attention, this time is the peak period of abduction.

This mountain is high and the road is far away, and once it is not turned away, there is almost no possibility of finding it back.

Chu Xinyun was also extremely resentful in his heart, this trafficker was extremely disgusting no matter what dynasty he was in, he obviously had so much business to do, but he was ignorant of such a conscience.

On the way back, Xiao Shu saw the unhappiness in her heart, and comforted: "Now that the weather is freezing cold, it must be difficult for them to leave even if they want to, I will go to the shopkeeper Xu to help, he must be able to see a lot of people passing by when he is doing business in Qingshui Town." ”

Chu Xinyun nodded: "That's the only way, please pay more attention to him." ”

After the shopkeeper Xu learned about this, he immediately agreed, saying that he had indeed seen many strange faces coming in and out of Qingshui Town during this time, almost all of them were from Yunlai County, and if there was a clue, he would immediately notify Xiao Kill.

The matter of Zaohua was like a heavy stone pressing on her, and she was a little breathless, thinking that Zaohua Milk was lonely and lonely, so she asked Aunt Zhao to send some food and clothes over, which can be regarded as a heart.

Aunt Zhao had a very good impression of her, and when she saw that she was in a bad mood, she said: "Xiao Yun, it will be the Shangyuan Festival in a few days, do you want to take Ruo Xiao to the county for a walk?" I heard that it will be held for a day and a night, but it is hot!"

Chu Xinyun was bored at home, and when he heard that there was a market, he wanted to take Xiao Shu to go shopping together.

On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, she and Xiao Shu went to Yunlai County in a carriage, and as soon as they entered, they felt the atmosphere of the festival, there were lights everywhere, and there were several times more vendors than on weekdays!

Chu Xinyun looked around curiously, saw a lot of novelties and food, felt the festive atmosphere, and the depression in his heart suddenly dissipated.

After booking the inn where they lived, the two of them rested for a few hours and prepared to visit the evening market, and heard the shopkeeper say that the day was not as lively as the night, and I heard that there would be tricks to come.

As the sky gradually darkened, the neighborhoods lit up lanterns to illuminate the whole street as if it were white.

Chu Xinyun couldn't bear it at all at the moment, and pulled Xiao Shu towards the most prosperous street.

Looking up, a street was full of all kinds of stalls, selling clay figurines, candy figurines and all kinds of food, she was almost dazzled, and saw a vacant lot of people leading monkeys to do all kinds of difficult performances, ushered in the onlookers shouted loudly.

She also bought a lot of things, one is driven by the festive atmosphere, and the people who shop are more or less carrying something in their hands, and she is embarrassed not to buy it.

There are also some things that are really exquisite, just talking about the pair of boys and girls of the sugar man, it is extraordinarily fine, which makes her a little reluctant to eat.

"Xiaoyun, do you have a few lanterns to buy?"

Xiao Shu pointed to the lantern stall diagonally opposite, there were a lot of well-made lanterns, Chu Xinyun saw it and nodded quickly: "Then buy two, and when the time comes, we will go to the river to put them." ”

"Okay, then you can wait for me here."

Chu Xinyun pouted: "Okay, you go quickly, I'm not a child anymore!"

Xiao Shu smiled and rubbed her head to buy a lantern, Chu Xinyun just stood for a while before she smelled a smell of incense, followed the fragrance and found that it was a seller of osmanthus cakes, and as the gauze spread, a hot steam rose with a strong fragrance of osmanthus into her nose.

Eating a little early in the evening today, and after shopping for so long, she was already a little hungry, and at this moment, the smell was even more unstoppable, even if she walked towards the stall.

"Auntie, are you doing this osmanthus cake?"

The cake seller was a lady in her forties, and when she asked, she replied with a smile: "It's osmanthus cake, I make this cake by myself, and the amount is much more than that of the dim sum shop outside, do you want two pieces of the little lady?" It's all freshly baked!"

She took a closer look and nodded, "Then let's have two pieces, and I want to be here in the middle." ”

"Okay!"

Just when Chu Xinyun was buying osmanthus cakes, a pair of greedy eyes stared at her not far away.

"Come, little lady, take it well, be careful of hot hands."

"Thank you, auntie, how much is it?"

"It's a total of five cents."

"Okay." Two pieces of adult palm-sized osmanthus cake are quite cost-effective to sell for five cents, so Chu Xinyun did not bargain and directly took out his purse and gave it to the silver.

The eldest lady took the broken silver at the corner of her clothes and was a little embarrassed: "Does the little lady have a copper plate?" You're giving me a bit too much, and I can't find it....."

Chu Xinyun had no choice but to continue to look down, and after finally collecting five cents and handing it over, he stood aside and prepared to eat some osmanthus cake to cushion his stomach.

At this time, someone suddenly bumped into her side, she was knocked along, and before she could raise her head and question, a handkerchief suddenly covered her mouth and nose, and with a pungent smell pouring into her nose, Chu Xinyun Mingran felt a soft consciousness under her feet gradually drift away.....

The lady who sold osmanthus cakes just wanted to look up and talk to her, but found that the place where she was standing before was long gone.

Xiao Kill picked two for a long time, and when he paid the money and turned around to ask her for credit, he found that the figure who was standing in front of the stall before was gone!

He subconsciously looked around, and checked several stalls nearby, but he didn't find that familiar figure.

The vendor who was waiting for him to pay said impatiently: "Guest officer? Do you still want this lantern? There's someone waiting nearby......

Where is Xiao Kill still in the mood to buy lanterns, when he was about to throw the things in his hand, he walked towards the stall where Chu Xinyun had stayed.

The old man who sold the candy still had an impression of him, and said, "That little lady? I just saw her go to the osmanthus cake stall over there, probably to buy cakes to eat. ”

Xiao Shu's heart tightened and hurriedly ran to the osmanthus cake stall again, but was told by the eldest mother: "Don't you say I'm still strange, just now she bought the cake from me and stood next to it to eat, and a swaying kung fu man disappeared....."

Hearing the eldest lady's answer, he faintly had a bad premonition in his heart, and then he asked a wave of questions in the nearby street stalls but found nothing, he immediately found a hidden location and fired a signal flare for communication between the secret guards, and after half a cup of tea, two figures broke through the air.

"Your Excellency!" The two of them knelt down on one knee in front of him in black clothes and said hello: "I don't know what you called us here to explain?"

These two people are the seventeenth and eighteenth secret guards stationed in Yunlai County, and they are the ones who convey the various changes that monitor Yunlai County on weekdays.

Xiao Yu said coldly: "Xiao Yun is gone, I suspect that someone is secretly attacking, inform Xiao Wu to send more people to come, and people must be found before curfew today!"

As soon as they heard that Chu Xinyun was gone, the two looked at each other in surprise and then walked away.

Now in the dark guard, no one knows that the adult has a delicate little lady, and she is distressed on weekdays, if there is any mistake at this moment, I am afraid that no one can bear the consequences.

Seventeen immediately notified Xiao Wu in Qingshui Town, and half an hour later, a large number of secret guards secretly entered Yunlai County and began to search for Chu Xinyun's whereabouts.

At this moment, the party woke up leisurely, and it was pitch black, and the light and shadow swaying outside the house could be faintly seen.

Chu Xinyun felt that his head was a little dizzy, and he wanted to reach out and rub it, but found that he was actually tied up!

Taking a closer look at the faint light and shadow outside, she found that there were many women in the room who were tied up like her, and they were all thirteen or fifteen years old, with messy clothes and loose hair, looking very embarrassed.

She suddenly came back to her senses, and she... Is this a human trafficker?!

How can you go out shopping and still encounter this kind of thing?!

She struggled hard, and her heart was very indignant.

At this time, a small voice came from the side: "I advise you not to move, if the people outside the house know about it, they will not show mercy." ”

Chu Xinyun realized that there was a girl next to him who was not sleeping, and was quietly looking at him with her eyes open.

As soon as she heard someone speak, she quickly moved her body and leaned over and whispered, "You were also arrested?" Are you a human trafficker?"

Unfortunately, the girl did not want to pay attention to her, and after glancing at her, she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

Chu Xinyun was a little angry, could he still fall asleep in this situation? These girls really have big hearts!

Just as she pondered how to get out, laughter came from outside the house.

"Ergou, the little lady you caught today is really good-looking, she must be able to sell it for a lot of silver, right?"

"Hehe, I'm also lucky to run into her alone, isn't this a success......"

"What kind of strength are you kid humble, the few who arrived a few days ago are average but they taste good."

"It's just that you kid can enjoy it, and our brothers have to continue to find a source of goods!" The words were accompanied by a few lewd laughter, and the listeners were disgusted.

Chu Xinyun carefully distinguished the voice, there were at least three people guarding outside the house, and each of them was experienced in a hundred battles, with the current number and quality of women in this house, I am afraid that he could only outwit him......

The originally peaceful room slowly sounded the sound of crying, it turned out that they were just pretending to be asleep, for fear that it would be too noisy and provoke the covetousness of the group of beasts outside.

The woman who mentioned her before was also crying, and Chu Xinyun couldn't bear to whisper comforting in her heart: "They don't dare to come in, don't cry." ”

The woman sniffed and said in a dumb voice, "Where else are they afraid to do?" These beasts are not going to die well!"
