The night is getting darker.

The villagers of Qianjiazhuang had to close their doors one by one.

But Erya suddenly disappeared.

The villagers spontaneously lit torches to help Xiangqing find her.

Everyone was divided into several groups and searched in different directions.

Hu Jingtong, Xu Yikao, Qian Shi, Xiangqing, and Gouwa formed a group.

Everyone held torches and almost rummaged through the Qianjiazhuang, but they didn't find Erya.

"Sister-in-law Xiangqing, a few of us followed this road until we found the edge of the wall of Qianjiazhuang, but we didn't find her." A villager said.

"So are we!" Another villager also said.

"Did Er Ya run out?" Xiangqing said in a trembling voice, "This night, wild beasts are rampant outside Qianjiazhuang, and she ......"

Xiangqing's tears welled up in her eyes, and she didn't dare to think about it anymore.

The more Xiangqing thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, and her body became a little unstable.

The sad Qian Shi hurriedly supported her.

The eight-year-old dog baby is worried about her sister's safety, and she doesn't know what to do.

He was at a loss to follow Xiangqing, but when he saw that she was about to fall, he hurriedly helped his father to support her.

"A-Niang, A-Niang...... Don't be upset. The dog's eyes were red, and she kept calling Xiangqing.

Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say to comfort Xiangqing for a while.

One of the villagers said, "Let's go look for it again." This girl doesn't know where the cat is playing. ”

"Well, let's look for it again."

"Then let's go too."

The villagers carried torches and continued to search in groups.

"Ah Liang, grandpa went to the Qian Mansion to find someone to help find another look. You are with Aunt Xiangqing, and you must not run around by yourself. Xu Yikao said.

"Yes, Grandpa." Hu Jingtong said.

Xu Yikao held a torch and ran quickly towards the Qian Mansion.

Hu Jingtong looked at Xu Yikao's back and said thoughtfully: "No, Aunt Xiangqing, it's unlikely that the second girl will run out." Erya must still be in Qianjiazhuang. ”

Qian Shi gently patted Xiangqing's back and said, "Why is Miss Xu so sure? ”

Hu Jingtong said: "Grandpa told me that our Qianjiazhuang is a rich land with abundant products by the mountains and rivers. But it is also because of the abundant products near the mountains and rivers, so wild beasts are rampant outside the Zhuangzi. Therefore, in order to resist the invasion of wild beasts, Mr. Qian specially funded us Qianjiazhuang to build a two-person high stone wall, surrounded Qianjiazhuang, and only set up the only entrance and exit for Qianjiazhuang. That is the gate of our Qianjiazhuang. The door is closed on weekdays, and it will only be opened when someone has to enter or leave. And there are also strong men from our Qianjiazhuang who take turns to guard. The most important point is that we also went to ask the strong men on duty today, and none of them saw Erya go out. ”

After Hu Jingtong's analysis, Xiangqing's spirit seemed to have returned.

She stood up straight and said, "Yes, what Miss Xu said makes sense. Erya may have seen someone running around to help clean up again. But...... But...... We've just searched all over the village! Where else could she hide? ”

Oh, yes! Where can she hide?

Hu Jingtong couldn't help frowning, she looked around, and said in her heart: We all asked door to door just now, and the villagers all said that Erya was not at their house. Erya and Xu Qiuliang are so good, Xu Qiuliang invited her to dinner, she has no reason not to go. Something must have been holding her back.

Thinking of this, Hu Jingtong said, "Aunt Xiangqing, can you still hold up your body?" ”

Xiangqing said: "We are used to farm work, and our bodies are good." ”

Hu Jingtong said: "Uncle Shi, Aunt Xiangqing, let's go look for it again!" I always feel that Erya is not far from us. ”

There is a small area in Qianjiazhuang next to the foot of the mountain.

It's remote there.

On weekdays, except for the villagers who live here, few people usually come here.

A farmer built his house here.

It was a mud house made of yellow mud, and the dim oil lamp in the room had tiny flames dancing slightly.

"Erya, do you remember?" The man said.

"Remembered." Erya said.

"How clever! Carry it back to me. The man said.

"The mountains are green, and there are tigers. The water is deep, and there are old dragons. Tiger companion Long Changlong. Suddenly, a landslide, a water escape, a tiger avoids, and a dragon hides. The real dragon is not there, the tiger falls in Pingyang, and the demon is in charge. ”

"Erya, that's amazing! Uncle, I'll reward you with a piece of fruit. Tomorrow I will take you to get a lot of silver. The man said.

"Thank you, uncle, Ah Liang is still waiting for me to eat." Erya took the fruit with a smile and said, "I'll go to Ah Liang's house to finish eating first, talk to Daddy and Auntie, and go with Uncle tomorrow." ”

The man stared at Erya, muttered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes showed a fierce light.

"You're out of luck today."

The man took out a handkerchief from his cuff and quickly stepped forward to cover Erya's mouth and nose.

There was a drug on the handkerchief, and the second girl fainted before she could react.

She lay on the rammed dirt floor of the house.

After stuning Erya, the man sat on the ground in a daze for a while.

After a long while, he trembled and took out the reward order stamped with the seal of the county government from his bosom.

He took the bounty and looked at it, suddenly looked up and laughed three times, and then burst into tears.

He said to himself: "I have been studying hard for decades, and I have not been able to pass the examination, let alone enter the official career!" Unexpectedly, now I only need to catch a little girl to go to the government to get an official and a half-job. Hehehehehe! It's really insulting! It's insulting! ”

But so what!

Qian Xiangdong wiped his tears and snot, carefully folded the reward order, and put it back in his arms.

I have passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, how much time is left to waste?

The man tied Erya's hands and feet, curled them up, and put them in a wooden box.

He carried the wooden box out the door again and placed it on a small cart.

Then he brought several bundles of dry straw and piled them around the wooden box to cover them.

At night, wild animals are infested outside Qianjiazhuang, and it will be relatively safe during the day.

He planned to push the wooden box out of the money village and go to the county government as soon as the morning dawned.

"Brother Xiangdong!" Qian Shi suddenly appeared behind him.

Qian Xiangdong was so frightened that his body shook.

He lives in the middle of nowhere, and hardly anyone comes to him at this time.

What's more, the villagers who had already come to look for Erya were sent away by him.

Poor Fang Cai Erya, this child, under the coaxing of Qian Xiangdong, thought that the adults were hiding from her.

The adults outside were looking for her in a hurry, and she was still hiding in Qian Xiangdong's house with her mouth covered and grinning.

After sending the villagers away, Qian Xiangdong let his guard down.

It's just that he didn't expect that there would be people who would come to look for him a second time, and these people were also Erya's family and friends.

Qian Xiangdong tried his best to relax his stiff body, turned around and stood beside the cart and said, "Brother Shi, there are few people here for ten days and half a month, but tonight is lively." Have you found your second place? ”

"Not yet!" Qian Shi said anxiously, "Brother Xiang Dong, have you seen my girl?" ”

Qian Xiangdong hurriedly shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it!" ”

Qian Xiangdong is recognized as an honest man in Qianjiazhuang.

Everyone believed his words.

With years of experience in workplace management, Hu Jingtong is particularly good at observing words and feelings.

She felt that something was wrong with Qian Xiangdong.

Hu Jingtong walked up to him and stared at him and said, "Uncle Qian, just now we heard someone crying and laughing in this direction. That's why I came over and looked, is that person you? ”

Qian Xiangdong was startled in his heart, and he said in his heart: Fang Cai was too excited and couldn't control it for a while.

He didn't want to think that as long as it was night, if the sound was louder, it would be able to spread far away.

"Really?" Qian Xiangdong didn't dare to look directly into Hu Jingtong's eyes, he looked up at the dark night and said, "I seem to have heard it, but I didn't care." ”

"Oh...... Is there anyone else living here besides Uncle Qian? Hu Jingtong glanced at him, then walked quickly to the door of the loess house and looked inside.

There was only one room in the house, and it was very small and simple.

There was only a table, a chair and a bed in the room.

Hu Jingtong only needs to glance at it to read it.

"I'm the only one living in this neighborhood, so I guess someone is here nearby, right?" Qian Xiangdong's eyes followed Hu Jingtong closely, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

Hu Jingtong saw Qian Xiangdong's reaction in her eyes and remembered it in her heart, and she said in her heart: There is something wrong with this person!

She left the loess house and turned around and walked back to Qian Xiangdong's side, raised her head and stared at Qian Xiangdong directly, until Qian Xiangdong felt furious, he subconsciously reached out and touched the dry straw on the cart behind him.

Seeing this, Hu Jingtong suddenly smiled and said, "Uncle Qian, if you see Erya and are still troubled, please help keep her." ”

Qian Xiangdong's originally tense heart suddenly relaxed, and he said, "It must be." ”

"Miss Xu, let's go somewhere else to find out." Xiangqing said.

At this time, Qian Shi couldn't wait for a long time and walked away with the dog.

Hu Jingtong said "um" but suddenly bypassed Qian Xiangdong and ran to the other side of the cart, picked up a few bundles of dry straw with a smile, and said: "Uncle Qian, my family's firewood is burned, and I just borrow a few bundles of dry straw from your family today!" ”

Qian Xiangdong was shocked, and he didn't care about Sven's appearance, so he went around and wanted to catch Hu Jingtong.

Hu Jingtong dodged with a hippie smile, and circled the cart with Qian Xiangdong.

She had only practiced martial arts for just over two months, and she had an advantage in speed and flexibility.

Hu Jingtong pretended to be crazy as she ran, picked up the dry straw and threw it aside, and she didn't stop her movements until part of the wooden box was exposed.

"Ouch...... My Miss Xu, you're not going to be stupid again at this stall, are you? ”

Hu Jingtong's operation stunned Xiangqing on the side.

She ran over and grabbed Hu Jingtong.

"Miss Xu, let's go."

Hu Jingtong stared vigilantly at Qian Xiangdong, whose expression was almost about to be distorted, across the small cart.

He has a problem!

Hu Jingtong said sharply: "Uncle Qian, is Er Ya in this box?" ”

Xiangqing was stunned for a moment, and she said, "Miss Xu, how can Er Ya be in this box......"

But when she looked up at Qian Xiangdong, her heart suddenly tightened!

Qian Xiangdong looked at them with a hideous face and looked around, and then said in a strange manner: "You can stay tonight!" ”

I only heard a muffled sound of "bang", and the blood on Xiangqing's head fell like an infusion.

Hu Jingtong's eyes widened in fright.

I'll go! Is this a murder scene?

She looked at the firewood in Qian Xiangdong's hand, and then at Xiangqing, who fell to the ground, and was only slightly stunned before she began to scream and run for her life.

Hu Jingtong's cry for help made Qian Xiangdong completely crazy, and he chased after him desperately.
