After passing through the water curtain cave, as the mountain wall mechanism slowly opened, the dark karst cave appeared in front of you.

Cut the hemp rope, untie his hands, and Xia Qiu was pushed into the cave.

The cave was very large, the whole mountain was hollowed out, and with the roundabout, Xia Qiu finally saw the altar in the dream.

The altar is built along the mountain wall, and the steps go up slowly, and the bull's head is burning and the flames are high.

With just a glimpse, Xia Qiu was jerked until she was pushed into the dungeon.

In the dungeon, divided into two rows of iron cages, there is no end in sight.

She finally returned to the place where she had been imprisoned in her previous life.

Xia Qiu's heart sank inch by inch, she should always come, she couldn't hide from it.

*******

The sudden rainstorm washed away the heat for days.

Qiao Fengwei sat in front of the bronze mirror, very satisfied with her decent and elegant dress. She touched her face, there was a moment of blur, and the comfort of this time had made her not remember what she looked like before.

There is no escape, no calculation, her family, friends, and beloved ones are all concerned about her.

In this world, there is no Qiao Fengwei, she told herself silently.

Then, he picked up the food box and went to the county office to deliver lunch to Lu Tingxiu.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the county office, Ergou hurried over and ran out of breath, "Sister, Wu Ze is back." ”

Qiao Feng paused slightly, "Where is it?" ”

"According to my sister's instructions, I will let people guard the road that must be passed two miles outside the city. As soon as someone else appeared, my people rushed all the way to report the news. ”

"What about Wu Yu?"

"She hasn't waited at the gate of the city for the past two days, except for taking care of the Jin family, which is to take the clothes back and sew them, and then send them back to their families after mending them, there is nothing special."

Intuition told Qiao Fengwei that it was not right.

Wu Yu used to go to the city gate every day, and she must have told Wu Ze extremely important that she would no longer go from the third day after she went to Wu's house.

Did she perceive something?

"Where is she now?" Qiao Feng's tone tightened.

Ergou was stunned, "This point should be sending the clothes that are mended." ”

Should? Qiao Feng's eyes narrowed, "Didn't you let your people stare at her?" ”

"This ...... It just so happened that there was a welcoming team on the street to sprinkle sugar, and many people stepped forward to rob it, so they lost Wu Yuhe. ”

Qiao Feng chuckled slightly, turned around and walked towards the city gate. Just a few steps, she paused again, "Wu Ze has returned from a long journey, where will he go first?" "It's too late to get to the gates of the city.

Wu Ze is now doing things for Xia Qiu in private, and the rice shop doesn't have his name on it, and the first thing he does when he comes back can't be to go to the rice shop. Do you go home, or do you just look for her?

Ergou really can't guess, Wu Ze is a filial son and knows that Jin's infection is sick, so it makes sense if he doesn't rush home in advance. However, Wu Ze was responsible, he took Xia Qiu's salary, and it was understandable to report to the owner as soon as he returned from a long distance.

"Sister, if you don't go home first, I will guard the intersection of the road where I go to Wu's house, and intercept him and bring him to see you."

No wonder Xia Qiu likes him, his brain is flexible and his mind is exquisite.

Ergou looked at Qiao Feng's slightly distant back, and his eyes flashed with doubt. Sister Xia seems to be weird these days, in the past, she was reluctant to touch a finger of the Wu family, no matter how much she was too much, now how do you feel that she is finally going to go under the knife?

But what does this have to do with him? Anyway, Sister Xia is happy.

Wu Ze didn't know that Wu Yu had moved, and Ergou sent people to guard both places, so he went home to sleep.

Dizzy and sleepy, he squatted at the city gate and begged back, "Brother Ergou, Wu Ze neither went home nor went to Sister Xia's house, he went to the noodle restaurant to eat noodles." ”

Ergou was stunned, "Eat noodles? "With the medicine jar of the Jin family, the overstretched Wu brothers and sisters are eager to break the money in half and spend it, how can they go to the restaurant on purpose. Even if you're really hungry, you're just filling your hunger at a cheap roadside stall at best.

"Which noodle restaurant did he eat at?" The second dog is tired, so he sits up and puts on his shoes and walks out.

"At the Ru Pasta Restaurant."

"Did you see him meet with anyone?" The pasta restaurant is very ordinary, but the boss loves dogs and looks down on people.

The beggar bowed his head, "That guy is very fierce, and when he saw that I was a beggar, he didn't even let the door in, and he just blasted out." ”

The two dogs ran away and rushed to the Lu Mansion, Qiao Fengwei frowned after hearing this, "Wu Ze came back all the way, did you meet anyone?" ”

"I didn't ...... No, I don't. The beggar recalled carefully, and suddenly his head flashed, "He accidentally bumped into someone when he entered the city, but he helped the person up and left, and he didn't say anything." ”

Guessing and wasting time, Qiao Fengwei went directly to the Ru Pasta Restaurant.

The noodle shop is not big, but the owner is an ancestral craft, and the sales are not too expensive, and customers come every day. There was no place on the first floor, and Qiao Fengwei went directly to the second floor.

Wu Ze sat by the window, drinking soup from a bowl.

Qiao Fengwei said loudly to the guy on the second floor: "Two bowls of wonton noodles and a cage of dumplings." ”

Hearing the voice, Wu Ze looked over and waved at Qiao Feng in surprise, "Dongjia, why are you here too?" ”

Qiao Fengwei walked towards Wu Ze with Ergou, and said in surprise: "When did Brother Wu come back, why don't you let me know in advance, I'll pick you up." ”

"I just went back, I was very hungry, and I thought about eating a bowl of noodles and went to the owner, but I didn't expect to run into it." A bowl of noodles, drunk so much that there is no soup left.

Qiao Fengwei sat down opposite him, "How did you get from this trip to Liangzhou?" ”

"Recently, the goods in Liangzhou have been very tight, and the price of grain has been much higher. But when I was leaving, you told me that whatever the price, you must take the grain. I negotiated a business with the shopkeeper Gong in Liangzhou, and paid a deposit of 200 taels in advance for 5,000 quintals of grain, and the rest of the money was paid within 10 days to pick up the goods. ”

"Pay the money before you pick up the goods?" Qiao Feng was slightly stunned, "Didn't you pay three and a half percent first, and then pay the rest of the money when the grain arrives in the buyer's hand?" She rummaged through the room, but she didn't find Xia Qiu's savings, and now she doesn't have much money in her hand, plus two days ago, Old Man Tu took a large amount of money from the account, saying that she wanted to prepare medicinal materials for epidemic prevention.

She couldn't afford to pay 5,000 quintals of grain now.

"It used to be true that the goods were on delivery, but now they have changed. I also inquired around, only to learn that several rice shops were secretly stockpiling a large number of goods, and even the Hua family had taken action. The supply of goods is tight, so naturally the seller spoke, and now the price of grain is one price a day, and I told the shopkeeper Gong that he agreed to keep the goods. The owner, you see if you want this batch of goods, if you don't want a deposit, you won't come back. ”

Qiao Fengwei didn't know what Xia Qiu told Wu Ze, and even asked him to stock up on sky-high grain, and she even suspected that her batch of valuable jewelry was handed over to Wu Ze by Xia Qiu.

Suspicion is suspicion, Qiao Fengwei can't show it in the open, "Naturally, I want it, I'll give it to you later." There are a lot of people here, so it's better to go back to the house. ”
