After taking a turn in the restaurant in the town last time, Tong Chuxue was not satisfied, so he went to the county seat a few days later.

But this time she didn't look for Luo Hui'an again, the days of the hospital examination were approaching day by day, and he made such a bet with Yao Tianyuan, Tong Chuxue really didn't want to work the other party.

The county seat is half a day's journey away from Qingshan Village, and in order to have a little more time for investigation, Tong went out before dawn in the first snow. Xu Jinniang didn't worry about her going alone, but she was persuaded by Tong Chuxue, and Wang Guang said that she must be optimistic about the girl, so she was reluctantly relieved.

There were only two people going out this time, Wang Guang and Tong Chuxue, so Tong Chuxue handed over the carriage to a special person to take care of. There are many such people in the county who specialize in watching the carriage for others, and they spend a few pennies a day to see each other out of the city.

As for Wang Guang, he followed Tong Chuxue all the way.

I have to say that there are a lot more restaurants in the county than in the town, Tong Chuxue counted down on a street, there are more than a dozen restaurants large and small, and there are dozens in the entire county.

Although the individual places below this Guyu County are poor, the county seat is still rich, for no other reason, and occupies a good location on the main traffic route.

Basically, the surrounding roads are flat, so many merchants pass through here, so it is relatively prosperous.

Tong Chuxue felt that such an environment was suitable for opening a restaurant, and if the pork and vegetables in the village were sold here, they would definitely make a lot of money.

Tong Chuxue's way of investigating the restaurant is very simple, it is nothing more than to find a restaurant to sit in, look at the price of the dishes, the popularity of the restaurant, and then roughly estimate the situation.

The restaurant here is not like the town, and Tong Chuxue has cooperation, it sounds convenient, but it doesn't matter, Tong Chuxue is generous, give Xiao Er a few rewards, and can ask a lot of news.

Tong Chuxue knew that time was precious, and she had to rush back to the village before dark, so she was not stingy with the reward, and often the bench in one restaurant was not hot, so she quickly changed to another restaurant.

Tong Chuxue came out this time, and she also brought a notebook and her homemade simple charcoal, and every time she heard something, she recorded the information in her small notebook.

Wang Guang didn't understand this, but he admired the girl very much in his heart.

"Girl, it's not too early, if we don't leave, I'm afraid there won't be enough time to go back to the village." Wang Guangdao.

Tong Chuxue looked up at the sky, "It's not early, let's go back first and come back tomorrow." ”

In fact, although she ran all day today, she only collected information about less than ten restaurants, Tong Chuxue felt that it was really a mistake, she should take Xu Jinniang with her, and then live in the county seat, and investigate slowly, otherwise she would not be able to bear running back and forth like this every day.

The two walked briskly to the gate of the county seat, where the family's carriage was still parked.

But before the two of them returned to the carriage, Tong Chuxue only felt a burst of smoke drifting in front of her, and then it was dark in front of her, unconscious.

On the street, Tong Chuxue and Wang Guang were supported by a stranger, and in the eyes of everyone, several people seemed to be peers.

A tall, male-faced man quickly dragged Tong Chuxue and Wang Guang into the dark alley on the side, and his accomplice tied their hands and feet, put them in a sack, and carried them to the depths of the alley.

When Tong Chuxue woke up again, it was dark around her and she couldn't see anything clearly, and she moved her body, and suddenly found that her hands and feet were firmly tied, and her mouth was stuffed with a ball of rags.

She struggled to whine, trying to move her body, and soon she realized that she seemed to be surrounded by straw, the smell of dust floating in the air, and she seemed to be in an old house.

Just as Tong Chuxue was trying to move, Wang Guang also woke up.

He first discovered his disadvantage, and then heard Tong Chuxue's voice, and he also hurriedly moved.

Tong Chuxue soon knew that there was another person around, but she couldn't speak or see now, and she didn't know who the other party was at all.

She tried hard to use her tongue against the cloth ball in her mouth, but she didn't expect the cloth ball to be pushed out by her, Xu was not suitable when she was stuffed, so she pulled a few rags casually, and Tong Chuxue scattered them, but they were loosened.

Tong Chuxue, who successfully spit out the obstacles, asked in a low voice, "Wang Guang, is that you?" ”

She understood from the faint whining in the darkness that this was Wang Guang, and it was clearly his voice.

It seems that she and Wang Guang have been arrested, but who will arrest themselves?

But now is not the time to think about this problem, Tong Chuxue said in a low voice, "Wang Guang, don't move yet, I'll come to you." ”

……

Tong Chuxue's house.

It was already dark, Xu Jinniang had already prepared dinner and waited for Tong Chuxue to come back, but no one had returned so far, and Wei Fang was also worried, since the man went out today, he couldn't even see a shadow now.

The two women waited and waited at home, but they were never seen.

In the end, Xu Jinniang couldn't help it, "Chu Xue hasn't come back until now, there shouldn't be an accident!" ”

Wei Fang was also uneasy, "Madam, why don't we go out and look for it." ”

Xu Jinniang didn't want to, but now that it's at this point, how can they find it, can't they walk along the road with a torch.

Xu Jinniang was anxious, and finally made a decision, "I'll go and ask the Luo family for help." ”

After saying that, she took the torch and hurried to Locke's house.

The croppers are busy during the day, and they usually go to bed after dinner at night, and at this point, the Locke family has already rested.

Xu Jinniang came over and saw that the lights in several rooms of the Luo family were out, and her heart was cold, but now she really didn't know who to look for, so she could only knock on the door, "Chunyan, are you awake?" ”

When she shouted like this, Lin Chunyan didn't hear it, but Luo Hui'an heard it.

He usually wants to read, and he sleeps the latest in the house, and he will warm up the book before sleeping in bed, so he is still awake, and when he heard Xu Jinniang shouting, he put on a piece of clothing and hurriedly came out to open the door.

He knew that Xu Jinniang must have something important coming over so late.

Xu Jinniang saw Luo Hui'an open the door, and hurriedly asked, "Can your father and mother rest?" ”

When Luo Hui'an saw Xu Jinniang's anxious appearance, he immediately said, "Auntie, don't worry, I'll call my father and mother over." ”

Soon, Luo Changhua and Lin Chunyan came over with their clothes on, Xu Jinniang was worried alone for a long time, and suddenly couldn't hold back when she saw the husband and wife, "Chu Xue went to the county seat today, and she hasn't come back until now, I'm really afraid that something will happen to her!" ”

Luo Changhua and Lin Chunyan were originally a little sleepy, but now they woke up in an instant, and Luo Hui'an on the side also frowned deeply, with a serious face.

"I really have no choice but to ask you for help, in case something really happens to the first snow, I ...... I'm not going to live. Xu Jinniang wiped her tears.

When Lin Chunyan saw it, she hurriedly comforted, "Don't think about it, it may be that the road is not easy to walk at night, so I walked slower." ”

Luo Hui said, "Why don't we borrow an ox cart and go to meet you on the road." ”

Luo Changhua felt that this method was feasible, "Hui An is right, sister of the Xu family, don't scare yourself, I'll go to Lizheng to borrow an ox cart, maybe it's dark and delayed." ”

Luo Changhua buttoned his clothes three times and twice, and went out to borrow a car, followed by Luo Hui'an.
