On the ox cart that went back, Xiao Qingkong had a serious face.

Today, I met a very fierce female donor, and the female donor also said a lot of things that he didn't understand, which didn't seem to be a good thing.

That's not the point, though.

He seems to be protected by Brother Gu Yan today......

Obviously, he is so much smarter than Brother Gu Yan, he skips a grade, he takes the first exam every time, and Brother Gu Yan is a baby. But when Gu Yan's brother squatted down to wipe his little hands, and dragged him to the private school behind, he had the illusion that he was the baby.

Xiao Jingkong fell into deep contemplation, and for the first time he was confused about his and Gu Yan's positioning.

On the other side, King Anjun and Miss Zhuang returned to the villa.

Miss Zhuang was tired and fell asleep.

King Anjun instructed her personal maid: "Don't let anyone disturb her rest, no one will see her when they come." ”

The maid hesitated: "Then if Miss Gu ......"

King Anjun's eyes were cold: "I don't see!" ”

"Yes." The maid hurriedly responded.

King Anjun went back to his house.

After a while, the man in black flashed in and bowed to him: "The king of the county." ”

King Anjun poured himself a cup of tea and said lightly: "Is there a harvest?" ”

The man in black shook his head: "My subordinates have secretly visited all the inns and medical halls in the town, and Lang Zhong's home, but I have not found any trace of the Queen Mother." ”

King Anjun muttered: "Maybe she hasn't been to the hospital, she hasn't looked for Langzhong in the town, and she hasn't stayed at the inn." ”

The man in black was puzzled: "Then where will the Queen Mother go?" Could it be that it was hidden in some people's house? ”

King Anjun was silent.

The man in black said disapprerovitically: "County King, this is impossible. Have you forgotten that the Queen Mother had leprosy? ”

In the early stage of leprosy, there are only some small red spots on the body and face, which look like frostbite or allergies, but as the disease progresses, the symptoms of leprosy will become more and more obvious, and eventually it will become completely different from normal people.

It is impossible for a leper to hide, unless she goes into the mountains and forests and lives alone in seclusion.

But that's even more unlikely.

The Queen Mother has been pampered all her life, she can't even cook, if she really stays in the old forest, she will starve herself to death sooner or later without waiting to die of illness and being bitten to death by fierce beasts.

King Anjun said thoughtfully: "What you said is right, but if she hadn't hidden, where would she go?" She had leprosy and caused a commotion wherever she went. ”

The man in black said: "Do you really not consider the possibility of the Queen Mother's death?" ”

King Anjun: "I said that you must see people in life, and you must see corpses in death." ”

The man in black was helpless.

"Perhaps, someone took her in and healed her."

The man in black said: "Leprosy cannot be cured!" "Even Chen Guo, who is the most skilled in medicine, can only delay the symptoms of leprosy, and the sooner he intervenes, the better the effect, and the complete cure is unheard of.

Of course, King Anjun also understood how unreasonable his guess was, but he didn't want to believe that the Queen Mother had died alone in a corner than being cured.

He instructed: "You go and check on the old woman who came to Qingquan Town last winter, including the villages under his rule, and don't miss them." ”

"Yes."

The man in black was ordered to investigate, his efficiency was much higher than that of Huang Zhong and his party, and within a few days, he found two matching clues: one was in Daniu Village, the other was in Qingquan Village, and the two villages were located in the north and south of the town respectively.

"Da Niu Village was left there last winter, when the villagers found her curled up in an abandoned cowshed, the villagers saw that she was pitiful, so they let her live in the cowshed, and occasionally someone brought her something to eat, so that she would not starve to death."

King Anjun asked, "What about the other one?" ”

The man in black continued: "Qingquan Village, a distant relative of a talented person in this village, had an accident at home, and came to him with no one to rely on. ”

Judging from the clues, the old woman in Daniu Village seems to be more in line with the person they are looking for.

However, for some reason, King Anjun chose Qingquan Village.

There's no reason, it's just a gut feeling.

In order not to startle the snake, King Anjun decided to go in person, and the man in black and his men were on standby in the town.

King Anjun rode his horse to the village.

In summer, the days are long, and the evenings are still bright.

King Anjun tied his horse to the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, and walked towards the house according to the map drawn by the man in black.

At this time, Xiao Qingkong was feeding the chickens in the backyard, and he was worried that the chickens would run out, so he closed the door.

King Anjun raised his hand and knocked at the door.

The door is opened with a small headroom.

On that day, before Gu Jiao started, Xiao Jingkong was brought into the private school by Gu Yan, so he didn't know what happened later, and he didn't see King Anjun.

However, King Anjun glanced back after getting into the carriage and saw Gu Jiao walking out of the private school with Xiao Jingkong's hand, and the two of them were followed by a young man who looked similar to Gu Houye, presumably Gu Yan, who was asserted by the imperial doctor to live less than fifteen.

It's strange, how could this little guy be here?

"Is this your home?" King Anjun asked.

Xiao Qingkong didn't open the door completely, only opened a slit, revealing a round head: "Of course this is my home, who are you?" What are you doing at my house? ”

King Anjun said softly: "I passed by and wanted to ask for a bowl of water to drink." ”

"Then you wait!" Xiao Jingkong didn't invite him into the house, but closed the door, and after a while, brought him a bowl of water, "Here." ”

The little guy is very wary......

King Anjun took it, drank all the water in the bowl, and then returned the empty bowl to him: "Are you home alone?" ”

Xiao Jingkong instantly became vigilant, and the cracks in the door were smaller: "Are you a human tooth?" Why inquire about this? ”

King Anjun said quietly: "Ah, no, I just drank your family's water and wanted to thank your family." ”

Xiao Jingkong said: "I brought you the water, you can thank me enough!" ”

King Anjun had never seen such a child who did not play according to the routine, so he was stunned for a moment and said, "Ah, thank you so much." By the way, can I ask you how to get to Da Niu Village? ”

If the small clearance of Yangliu Village in Xinghua Village still knows, but Da Niu Village exceeds his common sense reserves, and the small clearance is stuck on the spot.

King Anjun smiled at the corner of his lips: "Can you help me ask your family?" ”

"My family is very busy, you can inquire elsewhere! You go east, the seventh family is surnamed Luo, and the second uncle Luo is a cattle cart driver, and he knows it in any village! After the small clearance showed a clear way, he decisively closed the door and did not forget to plug in the deadbolt!

Jiaojiao said that when there are no adults in the house, you must not let strangers in!

He's a child, his aunt is an old man, they're not adults!

King Anjun is also a person who has been abroad and has rich experience, but he was unexpectedly rejected by a child.

But he didn't give up so easily, the front gate didn't work, he went through the back door.

He had to see the old lady today.

King Anjun went around the back door.

The back door of the stove house was also closed, but it was not locked.

King Anjun paused, gently pushed the door open, and stepped in.

His footsteps were soft, barely making a sound.

Just as he had taken three or two steps, a figure suddenly appeared from behind the door, holding a rolling pin and knocking it on his head.

I only heard a bang, and King Anjun was knocked unconscious.

The old lady threw the rolling pin back on the chopping board, looked condescendingly at King Anjun, who was unconscious face down, and snorted angrily: "Sneaky, it's not a good thing at first glance!" ”

The old lady heard the conversation between King Anjun and Xiao Jingkong, and she was always asking if the adults in the family were there, and she sneaked in through the back door when she was rejected, thief, proper thief!

It's no wonder that the old lady is so suspicious, it's really that after the life at home is not so difficult, she is indeed worried about some thieves, but the thieves are all at night, and Gu Jiao and Gu Yan's secret guards are all there at night, and they can solve people in three or two clicks.

I didn't expect the thief to be so bold, and he dared to come to the door to obey things in the blue sky and daylight!

The old lady looked at the handsome side face and sighed, "You just eat with your face, and it's better than being a little thief." But...... How do I think this kid looks familiar...... Have I seen it somewhere? ”

The old lady was ruthless, Gu Jiao, Gu Xiaoshun, and Gu Yan returned from chopping wood from the mountain, and he was still unconscious on the ground of the stove house.

Gu Jiao and Gu Xiaoshun put down the two bundles of firewood behind them, and Gu Yan also put down the small half-basket of dead branches and leaves that he had picked up.

"Jiaojiao, there was a thief at home, my aunt is so powerful, I knocked the thief unconscious!"

The little headroom turned into a little trumpet spirit for a second, and the trumpet said that what had happened.

Gu Jiao quickly recognized that he was not a thief, but a young man in brocade who had met outside the private school a few days ago - the King of Anjun in Gu Jinyu's mouth.

Gu Jiao's impression of him is not good or bad, he did not protect his own sister, and apologized to Gu Hou Ye and her, he can be so reasonable at a young age, I don't know if he is too fair and kind, or this person is not simple at all.

Either way, he can't have an accident in their house.

Gu Jiao grabbed it with both hands and took the person to Gu Xiaoshun's house.

The old lady really showed no mercy at that moment, he had a big bag on his head, and he was bleeding a little, Gu Jiao gave him medicine and wrapped it in a circle of gauze.

Then Gu Jiao took out a silver needle and pricked his acupuncture points a few times.

King Anjun slowly opened his eyes.

King Anjun's facial features are not particularly exquisite, but he has a sinking temperament.

His eyes are good-looking, but they don't seem quite right.

Gu Jiao glanced at him strangely, took out her hand, and shook it in front of his eyes.

He didn't react.

What's the situation?

Blind?

By this time it was already dark, and only a faint oil lamp was lit in the room.

Gu Jiao turned the wick up a little, but he still couldn't see it.

But he didn't panic, and he didn't show the slightest abnormality, he closed his eyes calmly: "My eyes hurt." ”

The first thing you say when you wake up is not to ask where you are or who you are, but to cover up the fact that you can't see.

What a strange person.

Since he said so, Gu Jiao naturally wouldn't expose him, after all, no one can guarantee that there will be any price after being exposed.

The more you know, the faster you die.

"Then don't open your eyes, I'll find some herbs for you to compress." Gu Jiao said, messing around with some mint leaves, wrapping them in cloth and covering his eyes.

"Jiaojiao!" A small head poked into the door from outside the door, "Is he awake?" ”

It's the voice of the little guy.

King Anjun began to guess Gu Jiao's identity in his heart, if he was not mistaken, she should be the woman who had an argument with his sister that day.

But isn't she the daughter of Ding'an Hou?

How can you live in such a place?

"He's awake." Gu Jiao asked, "Are you hungry?" ”

"Well, I'm hungry." Xiao Jingkong nodded honestly and asked again, "Is there something wrong with him?" ”

Gu Jiao said softly: "He's fine, it's just that his eyes are a little uncomfortable." ”

Xiao Jingkong said again: "Will he blame his aunt?" ”

Gu Jiao looked at King Anjun: "Recently, there have been several thieves at home, you came in through the back door, my aunt treated you as a thief." ”

"It's mine, it's not." King Anjun said.

"He doesn't blame his aunt." Gu Jiao turned her head to Xiao Jingkong and said, "You go eat some snacks first, and I'll cook right away." ”

The little clearance then walked away with peace of mind.

Listening to Gu Jiao's voice, it was difficult for King Anjun to associate her with the woman who slapped his sister and Gu Jinyu, as if they were two people, and as if her patience and gentleness were all given to her family.

There was no one else in the house, and Gu Jiaocai asked again: "Why did King Anjun suddenly come to the door?" ”

Originally, she was just guessing, but now King Anjun has completely confirmed her identity, after all, it is impossible for people who have not seen him to know that he is King Anjun.

King Anjun couldn't tell her, I was because I suspected that the Queen Mother was hiding in your house, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "Don't hide it, I'm here to apologize, and Miss Gu has been wronged by my sister's matter." ”

Gu Jiao: "Oh. ”

King Anjun couldn't hear whether she believed it or not: "You say...... It was your aunt who knocked me out? ”

Gu Jiao said: "What's wrong?" ”

King Anjun smiled quietly: "She has a lot of strength. ”

It seems that the other party is not the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother recognized him.

King Anjun was about to say goodbye, but at this moment, a small voice from the backyard said: "Jiaojiao! My aunt is stealing candied fruit again! ”

"I didn't! The little monk is not allowed to talk nonsense! ”

"I'm not a monk!"

"You're a little bald head!"

The voice......

King Anjun only felt that he was trembling, and his whole body froze!
