Chapter 325: Bloodstained Clothes
The village chief couldn't help but shudder when he thought back to the blood-stained clothes he had seen, and one terrible thought after another suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Dad, let's not jump to conclusions yet." Da Zhuang directly stopped his father from continuing to think about the idea, because the top priority now was to find the two brothers.
"I see, do you want to tell the people in the village about this? I'm afraid that it will cause panic when the time comes. The village chief is now very clueless, and he doesn't know what to do, so he has to ask his son for help.
"It's better not to make a public announcement about this matter, lest the women in the village listen to it and spread rumors behind their backs, after all, they are not fuel-efficient lamps." Because he knew what virtues the women in the village were, Da Zhuang specially opened his mouth and said such a sentence to his village chief father.
"That's right, after all, my father went to apologize today, just because he believed what these women said, so let's go quietly to find the whereabouts of their brothers first, and notify the village as soon as there is anything wrong."
With that, the village chief quickly returned to the house and changed his clothes, preparing to go out to find Nangong Jingchen and Shen Tangqiao.
Da Zhuang watched his father change his clothes and go out to look for them, and hurriedly ran back to the house to change his clothes that were convenient, and then ran out of the house, and the father and son looked for it separately.
I don't know if it's because the person in charge of looking for someone is too conspicuous, causing people in the village to start talking about the behavior of their person in charge.
"Hey, did you see that? The village chief, father and son, were in the village early in the morning and didn't know what they were looking for. One of the women, who was washing clothes by the river, glanced at the village chief and the big strong father and son not far away, and bowed their heads and said to the women beside them.
"I don't know what's going on today, the two of them are basically going door-to-door, my son and his father thought he had done something wrong, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to drink water for a long time!"
The woman next to her, who was lowering her head and washing clothes, suddenly glanced at the woman who was talking to her, and then talked about what happened in her house today.
"Hey! What are you looking for, you say, the village chief? Is there something going on in the village again? How do I have a bad premonition? ”
The woman beside the two of them, who had been hammering their clothes with a mallet, suddenly said this.
"What nonsense! Don't say that, don't say anything bad happening, how can anyone who wants something to happen in their village? ”
The woman who spoke first looked at the woman who was not too far away from her and said.
"Okay, okay, I won't say it, okay?" Eventually, the woman shook her head helplessly, and then stopped talking.
In the scorching sun, the village chief and Da Zhuang went door to door, but they didn't find Shen Tangqiao and Nangong Jingchen, which made them a little anxious.
"Dad, did you think it could be that Brother Chen Qiao's brother's wound broke open again, so he is in the town's hospital at this time?"
Da Zhuang found that he had been looking for a long time in the village with his father, but he had not found any clues, so the two came to the village under the big tree to talk.
"It's not impossible, because the shoes on the clothes I saw were obviously oozing out of the clothes, and the clothes didn't look like they had been thrown at the head of the bed."
After listening to his son's words, the village chief tried hard to recall the scene he saw at the time, and felt that what his son said was not completely unreasonable.
"Then let's go home, you go home first, I'll rush to the town to have a look, if they're in the first hall, I'll run back, that's fine, you and I can rest assured."
As he spoke, Da Zhuang stretched out his hand and pushed his village chief's father and asked him to go back and rest first, after all, it was a hot day, and an elderly person was not good, so he followed him back and forth in the village.
"That's fine, you go to the town first, I'll go home and wait for you, if not, you can come back quickly, and then we'll discuss with the people in the village to see what to do."
The village chief still had some uneasy instructions for his son, and Da Zhuang nodded directly to his village chief's father, and then turned around and left directly, trotting towards the town.
I don't know if it's Da Zhuang's luck or what, just ran to the town, and I met Shentang Bridge who came out to buy things.
"Brother Chen Qiao! Are you alright? Why are you suddenly not at home? And there are still blood stains on the clothes at home, what the hell is going on? Da Zhuang trotted directly to Shentang Bridge, and then asked him what was going on.
"It's okay, my brother's wound opened because of emotion, so I took him directly to the town's hospital overnight, don't worry, we'll go back after a few days."
Shen Tangqiao didn't expect Da Zhuang to suddenly run to the top of the town to look for the two of them, and subconsciously frowned, but he still patiently explained to him.
"So that's what happened! My dad went to your house with something today, ready to apologize to your brother, because my dad misunderstood you before, so I wanted to go to the door to apologize, but I didn't expect that there was no one at your house, and there were bloody clothes on the bedside, which frightened my dad! ”
Knowing that he wondered why he suddenly came to the town, Da Zhuang also specially explained the reason why he came here.
"It's okay, we'll go back in a few days, you tell your father, and we'll go back when my brother's injury is stabilized."
After listening to the public's explanation, Shen Tangqiao nodded subconsciously, thinking that this was the case, and he thought that the village chief suspected the identities of the two of them, so now he is specially asking them to go.
"Okay, I know, if it's okay, I'll go back first, my dad is still at home waiting for me to go back and tell him your news!"
After listening to Shen Tangqiao's words, Da Zhuang nodded subconsciously, and then turned around in a panic and ran to the village, leaving Shen Tangqiao, who was still shopping at the stall, standing there alone and watching his back ponder.
"What are you going to do? How did it take so long to go out? I didn't find you when I was looking for you just now, what are you holding in your hand? ”
Nangong Jingchen saw Shen Tangqiao walking outside with something in his arms, and when he came back, he subconsciously asked such a sentence.
"Osmanthus cake, I think you should like it, so I just bought some back."
As he spoke, Shen Tangqiao directly took out the osmanthus cake he had just bought outside from his arms in front of Nangong Jingchen and handed it to him, motioning him to take it and eat it.
