Everyone has secrets.

Gu Ming is no exception.

And his secret is even less than enough to be revealed to outsiders.

Even if it's a mother, it's not good.

After all, things like crossing and systems are more incomprehensible than ghosts, ghosts, gods and gods.

Fortunately, this is the world of chatting, and anything strange can happen.

So, it's not hard to explain.

In a word, I can't explain it clearly.

"Xiaoqian, in fact, it's hard for me to explain this matter clearly......"

"But one thing I am sure of is that the arrival of Shi Niang is not an exception. That is, it is likely that similar situations will happen in the future. ”

Nie Xiaoqian frowned slightly and asked, "Gu Lang, do you mean that the characters in the book you wrote may still appear?" ”

"That's right, it's just that it's impossible to say when or where it will appear."

At this time, Yu'er couldn't help but ask weakly: "Uncle, how can you be sure that she is Du Shi Niang?" What if she is too deep into the play, and really thinks of herself as Du Shi Niang? ”

This girl has a lot of ideas.

"It's not like that......"

Du Siniang bit her lip, and tears flowed silently.

She really didn't know how to explain or prove her identity, and even she was doubting it all and suspecting that it was all a dream.

She doesn't care about her identity, and even wants to forget who she is and be an innocent woman again.

"Okay Yu'er, don't say it, I believe in Gu Lang, and I also believe that she is Du Shi Niang."

"But Miss ......"

"Yu'er, I know it's hard for you to understand, but there are many things in this world that are incomprehensible. Don't you understand this? ”

Saying this, Yu'er suddenly stopped squeaking.

In fact, she didn't say that she didn't believe it at all, but there was a kind of resistance in her heart.

"Thank you Miss Nie for your understanding!"

Du Shi Niang thanked her with red eyes.

"Okay, now that Shi Niang's origin has been clearly explained, now I will talk about my previous experience.

Shi Niang was taken captive by several bandits, and the bandit leader Wei Dahu coveted her beauty and forced her to marry......"

After Gu Ming explained the reason, Yu'er realized that she was wrong to blame her uncle, and lowered her head a little embarrassed and twisted her white fingers.

Nie Xiaoqian frowned slightly and said, "In this way, Young Master Zeng was not kidnapped by bandits?" ”

"Well, after dawn, I'll go to your father to ask about the situation again, if it doesn't work, I can only take the most primitive way and search for all clues along the way."

"Hmm!" Nie Xiaoqian nodded, and then, her eyes subconsciously glanced at Du Shi Niang.

Gu Ming comprehended: "Xiaoqian, Shi Niang has nowhere to go now, I want her to go to the Poetry and Painting Society to help take care of it."

In terms of her talents, it is best to receive the ladies and ladies who come to write and paint poems.

In this way, you can also make a few more friends and integrate into your new life as soon as possible. ”

"Well, that's a good idea. But her identity must be kept secret and no one can know it, including my father. ”

Gu Ming smiled and said, "I know this, and I told Shi Niang before." But you don't have to worry about it, even if you accidentally say it, few people will believe it. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Yu'er quickly continued: "Until now, I'm still dreaming like ......"

Nie Xiaoqian said with a solemn face: "Having said that, you can't be unguarded. Yu'er, don't mention this to anyone, if someone asks you, you will say that you are a distant relative. ”

"Yes, Miss!"

Gu Ming thought for a while and said: "Even so, let's not call her Shi Niang in the future, it's better to be like this, how about calling her Du Xiaoyu in the future?" ”

"Thank you for the name."

Du Siniang naturally had no opinion, and immediately responded.

"Well, yes, I'll call her Xiaoyu from now on, it's very nice and smooth."

"Hehe, little sister, my name is Yu'er, you don't have to worry, our aunt and young lady are good people."

Yu'er's attitude has changed greatly, and she stepped forward to hold Du Shi Niang's hand affectionately, as if she was a good sister.

"Well, thank you, Sister Yu'er."

Du Shi Niang's face finally had a smile.

……

As soon as dawn, Su Ling hurried to the courtyard.

is a delicate beauty, but at the moment she looks extremely haggard.

He was accompanied by Zeng Tiancheng and several family members in the house.

"Gu Gongzi, how's it going? Is there any news of my father-in-law? ”

As soon as they met, Su Ling couldn't wait to ask.

"There is no ...... for the time being" Gu Ming shook his head: "I personally went to the cottage last night, and I can almost be sure that the recent disappearance case has nothing to do with the bandits nearby, and I do not rule out the possibility of bandits from other places." ”

Zeng Tiancheng couldn't help arching his hand and said: "For the sake of the dog, Gu Xie Yuan did not hesitate to break into the bandit's den alone, and the old man was very grateful." ”

"Master Zeng doesn't have to be polite, so we have been going to the county office now to ask about the situation. If you can't do it, send more people to inquire and search along the way, and you will always find some traces of spiders and worms. ”

"It's good!"

So, the group immediately rushed to the county office.

Walking and walking, Su Ling couldn't help but wipe away her tears: "Dad, who did our Zeng family recruit and provoke whom......

Zeng Tiancheng sighed: "Okay, don't cry, the old man knows that you are uncomfortable, is it possible that the old man feels uncomfortable?"

Until there is definite news, you have to brace yourself and not mess with yourself. ”

"Master Zeng is right, Mrs. Su, don't give up hope until the last moment."

"I didn't give up hope, but I felt uncomfortable......"

"The old man now hopes that the stinky boy is hiding somewhere to spend all his time......"

Su Ling: "......"

Soon after, the group came to the county office.

After waiting for a while, Nie Hongshu came in a hurry, and he didn't seem to have slept well.

"Lord Nie!"

"Master Zeng doesn't have to be polite, sit down and sit down."

As he spoke, Nie Hongshu glanced at Gu Ming with relief and let out a long sigh of relief.

After all, Gu Ming ran to the cottage alone last night, can he, who is a father-in-law, not worry?

Now that he saw Gu Ming return safe and sound, a hanging heart finally fell.

As soon as he sat down, Gu Ming took the initiative to report: "Master Nie, after some verification by the students, Young Master Zeng should not have been kidnapped by local bandits. ”

With others around, Gu Ming naturally can't be called a father-in-law or anything like that.

"Hmm......" Nie Hongshu nodded thoughtfully: "Actually, this official has always been puzzled by these disappearance cases. At present, six cases have been filed, with a total of 13 missing persons.

Among them, there are three suspicious points: First, whether it is a bandit from other places or a bandit, if you want to kidnap a ticket, you will almost always choose a rich person to attack.

But among these thirteen people, only four are considered wealthy, and the rest are either ordinary people or accompanying subordinates.

Second, these thirteen people have one thing in common, they are all men in the prime of life.

Third, although the locations of these robberies are different, after they are circled, you will find that the points are not far apart, roughly within a few miles of Xiaoliu Village as the center......"

"All men in their prime?"

Gu Ming suddenly became interested in the second suspicion.

"That's right, what's the matter, could it be that Gu Xie Yuan thought of something?"

"Just a bold idea......"

Gu Ming was about to talk about his thoughts, when the master hurriedly came over and reported: "My lord, another person is missing. ”

"Huh? What's going on? Nie Hongshu frowned and asked.

"The person who reported the case was a villager from Xiaoliu Village, and said that two villagers in the village went to work in the fields yesterday afternoon, but they did not return overnight."

Nie Hongshu immediately got up and said, "You sit here for a while, and the official will go and ask about the situation." ”

As soon as he left, Su Ling couldn't help but hurriedly turned his head sideways and asked, "Gu Gongzi, what did you want to say just now, did you think of any ideas?" ”

"Yes, yes, Gu Jieyuan has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, the old man is mentally prepared."

Gu Ming groaned: "I'm thinking, maybe this kidnapper...... Not people! ”

"Not human?"

"Not humans, to be exact!"

"Huh?"

Su Ling was shocked.

"Of course, this is just a hypothesis of mine, after all, we don't have too many clues now, so we might as well broaden our thinking and expand the scope of our search."

"Woo woo, if that's the case, then wouldn't my father-in-law ......"

Su Ling couldn't help but whimper again.

Zeng Tiancheng also had a heavy face, bowing his head and saying nothing.

After a while, Nie Hongshu walked in with a calm face.

"It's two strong men again, it's already the seventh sect, it's no coincidence, the other party is obviously targeting people kidnapping."

As soon as he heard this, Gu Ming immediately got up and said, "Lord Nie, without further ado, the students will go to Xiaoliu Village now to find out." ”

"It's okay, you go over first, and then the official will send people to investigate and control."

Su Ling also got up and said, "Gu Gongzi, why don't you go back and call some more family members to help with the search." ”

"Okay, you go back and gather people, I'll go back first and then come back to you."

After returning to the small courtyard, Gu Ming briefly talked to Nie Xiaoqian about the situation, and then said: "This thing is indeed a little weird, so I want to take Ying Ning with me, if it is really a demon or a ghost, maybe Ying Ning can follow the whereabouts of the other party." ”

"Squeak~"

Without waiting for Nie Xiaoqian to speak, Ying Ning had already run over excitedly, looking like she couldn't wait to show her skills.

……

Not long after, Gu Ming rushed to Zeng's house with Ying Ning.

Su Ling arranged for more than ten family members to go to Xiaoliu Village with Gu Ming.

Originally, she also wanted to go with her, but Gu Ming dissuaded her, after all, it was not convenient for a woman to go out.

Xiaoliu Village is not far from the county seat, less than ten miles, a group of people hurriedly walked, and arrived at Xiaoliu Village before noon.

Although Zeng Dehao did not disappear here, he must be related to it.

When I entered the village, even if some villagers came to the slope north of the village with a group of people.

"The Niu brothers worked here, and they didn't come back until dark, and the villagers looked for them everywhere, but they haven't been seen until now."

Gu Ming nodded and ordered the group to disperse to look for clues.

At the same time, he secretly instructed Ying Ning to sniff around to see if there was any demonic energy.

Unexpectedly, after a while, Ying Ning ran back excitedly, waving her paws and signaling......

Gu Ming understood its meaning, and couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, and immediately greeted the group of family members: "You just stay here and continue to search, waiting for the people from the government to come." ”

"Where is Gu Gongzi going?"

One of the family members couldn't help but ask.

"I'm going to walk around the nearby mountains......"

After speaking, Gu Ming followed Ying Ning's footsteps and ran towards the mountain.

As soon as she entered the mountain, Ying Ning was extremely excited, just like letting go of the wind. After all, it has grown up in the mountains since childhood, and as soon as it enters the mountains, it naturally has a sense of intimacy.
