Chapter 190: Looking for Nie Xiaoqian (Part I)

Half a day later, the two and a monkey boarded a passenger boat.

This time, Cao Jun was full of money and generous, so he directly chose to charter a boat.

Judging from the information summarized in the album, Nie Xiaoqian's reincarnation should be near Huangshan, a family surnamed Liu.

The passenger ship first went from the Qinghe River to the Han River, and then entered the Yangtze River from the Han River, and then went down the river, and after seven or eight days, it went ashore, and the next part of the journey could only take the dry road.

Cao Jun continued to buy a four-wheeled carriage at the wharf carriage and horse shop, drove the Nanshan Dao people to the front, and continued to advance towards Huangshan, and after a few days, he finally entered the boundary of Huangshan.

There are two county seats near this Yellow Mountain.

One is called Huangshan County and the other is Yucheng County.

The county seat where Cao Jun is located at the moment is Yucheng County.

After half a month of hurrying, the group was already dusty, Cao Jun directly found a big inn, chartered two upper rooms, and rested for half a day after bathing.

It was late in the evening that he came down from the upper floor.

The Nanshan Dao people who accompanied him chattered all the way, and asked Cao Jun a few times about the purpose of coming here, but Cao Jun just said that he came to look for someone.

There is an old man, I haven't seen him for a long time, and I came to meet.

Nanshan Dao people naturally don't believe it.

When signing the soul contract, Cao Jun's past clearly started from the prison cell in Guobei County, and Liu Qing, who he had seen before, met him in the cell, how could he have any old people?

Seeing that Cao Jun didn't say anything this time, he already had a careful thought in his heart.

Thinking of the life experience of Cao Jun's son of luck, he vaguely began to guess in his heart, "Could it be that there are some heavenly treasures to be born in this place?" ”

"If that's the case, you have to cooperate with him well, and you can get a piece of the pie after the matter is done."

In order to block the mouths of the Nanshan Dao people, Cao Jun directly ordered a table of meals.

The two of them occupied a corner in the hall.

One person has short hair, the other has a face full of hair, and is wearing a Taoist costume, and there is a very rare white-haired thin monkey next to him, such a combination is difficult not to attract people.

After a few people ordered the dishes, the shopkeeper ran over very attentively, "Objective, do you need to change a private room for you?" The dishes you ordered are a bit too much, and they have exceeded the consumption standard of ordinary private rooms. ”

The shopkeeper was polite on the surface, but his eyes looked at the two with a scrutinizing gaze, obviously worried that the two would not be able to pay the bill.

Nanshan Daoist was dissatisfied at the moment, and snorted, "What? Do you look down on us? ”

"How dare you, I'm just kind enough to come and remind me."

Cao Jun didn't bother to deal with this kind of philistine, so he took out a dime of silver from his bosom and put it on the table, and inquired by the way: "Shopkeeper, I asked you about a person, there is a family surnamed Liu in Huangshan County and Yucheng County, and there is a woman who was pregnant in August. ”

"This ......"

After the shopkeeper received the broken silver, his smile immediately became enthusiastic.

He thought about it for a long time, but he really couldn't think of it, and hurriedly apologized: "Guest officer, if you want to inquire about someone, you can ask Yaxing, there is just one nearby, I asked someone to call, you ask in person?" ”

"That's just right!"

After a while, a guy from the inn brought a guy with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek to come over.

The guy glanced at the food on the table of Cao Jun and the others, and his demeanor immediately became respectful.

"Guest officer, I heard that you want to inquire about someone?"

"Exactly!"

Cao Jun repeated what he had just said, and the man immediately thought about it with his head bored, and after a while, he took out a pamphlet from his bosom and rummaged through it in turn.

"The two counties have a combined population of several million, of which there are no less than a few hundred people surnamed Liu, and if you add a woman who is pregnant in the family for 8 months, then there are only 2 people left."

Cao Jun's eyes lit up, and he took out about 2 taels of broken silver and handed it over, urging: "Which two people are they?" ”

The man took the money, and his heart was full of joy, and even the impression of the innkeeper who called him over became much more pleasing to the eye in his heart.

This is considered extra money, and you don't have to turn it in.

"There is one in this county, it is a blacksmith shop, its woman is pregnant for eight or nine months, I heard that she is now inviting a midwife, and there is another person who is the former county magistrate of Huangshan County, also surnamed Liu, it is said that because of the words of the offended, offended the high-ranking officials of the court, was raided home, and the family members were sold to the Jiaofang Division, among which there was a concubine who happened to be pregnant in August and September."

After the guy finished speaking, he explained, "Guest officer, I can make it clear to you in advance, the people recorded in my booklet are all people from the county town, if they are new immigrants or outcasts from outside the city, then I don't know." ”

Cao Jun pinched the wine glass on the wooden table, muttered for a moment, and said, "I know it, write me the specific addresses of these two people." ”

"Okay, guest officer, if you have other business, please also look for me, my store is next door, my name is Xiaomu, as long as it is what happened in these two counties, there is nothing I don't know."

A moment later, Cao Jun got the address.

He stared at the paper and thought about it for a while, and his inner instinct told her that the Liu family in Huangshan County was more likely.

But since the person is already in Yucheng County, it is okay to go to the blacksmith's house by the way.

After the meal, the two found the blacksmith shop surnamed Liu according to the address given by the guy.

This is a faΓ§ade next to the street, and there is a courtyard attached to it, and in the faΓ§ade, a middle-aged man with a bare upper body and a dark figure is packing up his things.

The arrival of Cao Jun and several people immediately attracted his attention.

"The guests are here to pick up weapons, so you can take a look at them."

When he saw Cao Jun and Nanshan Daoren's dress, he looked like people from the rivers and lakes, not like they had come to buy farm tools, so he immediately brought them to the weapons area.

Taking advantage of the situation, Cao Jun quietly asked Nanshan Daoren, "Can you see the sex of the fetus?" ”

Nanshan Daoren's eyes rolled, and while guessing Cao Jun's true purpose, he replied: "What's so difficult about this? However, I have to call someone to walk around in front of me, and I don't have the ability to pinch my fingers. ”

"Oh!"

Cao Jun was suddenly in trouble.

He and the blacksmith shop owner are not related, and it is absolutely impossible for him to hand over his daughter-in-law to have a look at it as soon as they meet.

Only when the family is good at visiting or visiting, there is the etiquette of calling the family out to meet people.

The way of Nanshan Dao people is much better than Cao Junye, and he immediately came up with an idea: "After dark, we will quietly climb over the courtyard wall and go in." ”

While the two were muttering on the side, the blacksmith was still waiting, and Cao Jun suddenly asked, "Is there a pregnant woman in the shopkeeper's house?" ”

After asking, the face of the shopkeeper of the blacksmith shop changed immediately, and Cao Jun also realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly added, "I am a monk, when I passed by your door, I saw a strong breath of new life in the courtyard, it must be that the person in the house is pregnant, congratulations to the shopkeeper on the upcoming addition." ”

Sure enough, the face of the blacksmith shopkeeper looked much better.

He looked at Cao Jun and Nanshan Daoren suspiciously, and still had some doubts in his heart, so he had to choose to keep silent.

The two looked at the objects for a while, and finally bought a simple knife to defend themselves to the people of Nanshan Dao, and then left from the blacksmith shop.

When night fell, Nanshan Dao was bold and bold, and he was not masked, so he went directly over the wall, and only came out after half a ring, and said to Cao Jun: "There is indeed a woman with a big belly inside, I observed it for a while, and she should be a baby boy in her womb." ”

Cao Jun shook his head regretfully.

Since it is a baby boy, it is impossible for Nie Xiaoqian to be reincarnated.

The two rested in Yucheng County for one night, and came to Huangshan County the next day.
