Qiu Ying came back to her senses for a long time, and she was still pressed in her arms by Mu Qingyu at this time, and she couldn't help laughing.

Miss Ming and Su Jinyao both looked back at Qiu Ying, and saw that Mu Qingyu was still holding her tightly in her arms.

Su Jinyao said: "Young Master Qingyu, you have also let go of this fire, and the people have hugged it, it's almost enough." Hurry up and compensate Sister Ming, let's hurry. ”

Qiu Ying also pulled Mu Qingyu's clothes, broke free from his arms, glared at him, and said, "Go crazy for no reason, don't pull me with me in the future, lose the dead." Do you think that burning a firewood room will be enough to solve my heart? ”

"That" Mu Qingyu was glared at by Qiu Ying, and suddenly his chest was tight, he lost his temper, and hurriedly asked: "Qiu Ying, if you like it, I will buy this shop and light it all." ”

"Phew, dream on you." Qiu Ying stretched out his hand and poked hard at Mu Qingyu's head, and said: "Here is the master who has shares, you say buy it, you can buy it, you say burn it, I will see what you pay to the master." Besides, if you dare to touch the master's property, I will not bypass you. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Mu Qingyu looked at Su Jinyao and hurriedly said, "Your master is still our matchmaker, I am grateful, grateful." ”

Su Jinyao laughed when she heard this, and felt that Qiu Ying's tutor was also good, and she actually obeyed Mu Qingyu well.

Su Jinyao said, "Okay, don't carry it." It's not so hard to make you pay a loss, and it's endless."

When Mu Qingyu heard this, he hurriedly turned around, bowed to the ground towards Miss Ming, and said solemnly: "Miss Ming, in Xia Mu Qingyu, I burned the firewood room just so that Qiu Ying could forget the past, and I ask Miss Ming to understand and don't worry about me." Also, I'll be doubly good to Autumn Shadow in the future. ”

"Okay, with this last sentence, nothing is left." After Miss Ming finished speaking, she also said seriously: "Actually, you don't have to think too much about Young Lady Qingyu. Autumn Shadow Ken is with you, proving that she has long forgotten the past. It doesn't matter if this firewood house burns or not. ”

Mu Qingyu's eyebrows moved, and he turned his head to look at Qiu Ying.

Autumn Shadow pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes." Or Miss Ming understands me. My mind has long stopped thinking about the past, I think about the present, the future. ”

Mu Qingyu's face was full of joy when he heard this, and he hugged Qiu Ying in his arms again.

Do you want to burn it again?

Seeing that Qiu Ying and Mu Qingyu had such a good relationship, Su Jinyao smiled very happily. dt

Miss Ming also said: "Qiu Ying, you have finally found a lover." Cherish it. ”

Qiu Ying glanced at Mu Qingyu affectionately, then looked at Su Jinyao, and said, "I also asked the master to restore my appearance, which can be regarded as a complete line with the past." ”

"Really? That's great. Mu Qingyu was immediately happy. But the smile was only half widened, and he held back vividly, and said, "Autumn Shadow, I don't care about your appearance, I like what you look like." ”

Autumn Shadow said a little shyly, "I know." It's just that I'm a little tired of it, why do you want to be ugly when you can look better? Women are pleasing to themselves. ”

This sentence simply went to Mu Qingyu's heart.

Su Jinyao saw that they were still sticky and hugged each other, and said anxiously: "Are you still finished?" Otherwise, if you stay here and slowly love, A-Ning and I will go back first. ”

"It's all you, who made the master angry." Qiu Ying hurriedly pushed Mu Qingyu away, gave him a blank look, and stood beside Su Jinyao.

Miss Ming said, "Okay, since you still have to hurry, let's go quickly." Jinyao, remember your words and find a chance to come and chat with me. ”

"Okay." Su Jinyao agreed and left with A-Ning, Qiu Ying, and Mu Qingyu.

But out of the backyard, Su Jinyao glanced back again, and said with a smile: "No, how can I remember, Qiu Ying, you didn't live in the firewood house at the beginning." Did Mu Qingyu burn it wrong? ”

"Huh?" Mu Qingyu was stunned for a moment, and turned to look at Qiu Ying.

Autumn Shadow Nunu mouthed, "It doesn't matter where you live, in fact, I have forgotten it myself." However, the little maid next to Miss Ming was quite clever, it is estimated that she looked at Mu Qingyu with a wrong expression, so she simply pointed to the firewood room casually. ”

Mu Qingyu only completely recovered at this time. Dare to say that he burned it for a long time, and it was not the broken house where Qiu Ying had been at the beginning.

The firewood room was old and dilapidated, and he thought that Autumn Shadow was being imprisoned here to suffer, so he didn't ask any questions and burned it down.

Su Jinyao pursed her lips and smiled, and asked, "Young Master Qingyu, do you want to burn it again?" ”

"Forget it, Autumn Shadow said he didn't mind, I still have to mention this matter for something." Mu Qingyu also smiled after speaking, looked at the backyard of the red-sleeved workshop, and said, "It's nothing particularly good here." I really don't understand why those men like it? Anyway, with Autumn Shadow, I only like Autumn Shadow, and in the future, our home will be the most comfortable and warm place, and I won't stay anywhere else for long. ”

After hearing this, Su Jinyao turned to Qiu Ying and said, "Did you hear that?" Young Boys are proposing to you. He means wanting to have a home with you. ”

"Master, don't talk nonsense, there's nothing to do." Qiu Ying was said by Su Jinyao, and she also felt that this was what she meant.

However, Qiu Ying refused to admit it at all, and only held Su Jinyao tightly, and said, "Master, I'll help you go quickly." ”

Su Jinyao stopped teasing her, and the three of them left Anji City and returned to Ma Liu.

The small city, the little guys, and the coachman have also been washed early. Mingjuan and the others have also eaten, just waiting for Su Jinyao and them to come back.

Su Jinyao said: "Xiaocheng'er, your carriage is slow, let's go first." A-Ning and I had some dinner and rushed over. ”

Xiao Cheng'er agreed and arranged for everyone to get into the carriage. Anyway, the road back to Pingshan Village here is too familiar, and you won't be wrong with your eyes closed.

Ma Liu also instructed the kitchen to make a few exquisite specialty dishes, and he personally served the table and set the dishes and chopsticks for Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao asked Ma Liu to eat some together, and said, "Brother Ma Liu, I'm going to be in a hurry for a while, I won't drink with you." But you'll have to eat it with me. Also, you told your sister-in-law that I didn't see her outside, so I didn't rush over to see her. When I'm settled at home, I'll go and see her. ”

Ma Liudao: "Master, you don't know Xiaoying yet, how can she pick this reason with her temperament." You can go back with confidence, and she and I will go over to see you when you are free. ”

While eating, he said, and ate for more than half an hour. Su Jinyao shouted, "I'm full, it's too supportive", and then put down the chopsticks.

Ma Liu still sent Su Jinyao out of the gate, and personally led the horse for Su Jinyao and saw her go back.

Because of a slight delay, Su Jinyao and Qiu Ying had to speed up before they could chase Xiaocheng'er and them.

And if you calculate this hour, it is estimated that you will not be able to return to Pingshan Village before dark.

However, this reminded Su Jinyao of the way she used to walk back to Pingshan Village in the dark, and Gu Xuebin would wait for her there, and her heart became sweet.

Because it was autumn, the days were getting shorter and shorter, and it was getting darker and darker. As soon as the sun went down, it skipped the twilight and entered the hazy night.

Fortunately, Su Jinyao is familiar with this road, and it has been constantly repaired in the past one or two years, so the speed of riding a horse is also very fast.

But when I was about to reach Xiaozhang Village, I saw three big cars parked in front of me. But the car didn't light up the horse lights, and the shadows couldn't see the car clearly.

Su Jinyao frowned, a little puzzled.

Qiu Ying also looked puzzled, and said, "It should be our carriage in front, why did it stop on the side of the road?" ”

Mu Qingyu said: "Could it be that they are waiting for us here?" Or is there something wrong with the carriage? Wait, I'll go and see. ”

Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "No, let's go over together." After saying that, he urged the horse to run over.

Getting closer to the carriage, Su Jinyao saw that there was no driver in the carriage, and there were no accompanying servants around the carriage, and even Xiaocheng did not appear to check because of the sound of horses' hooves.

Su Jinyao frowned and shouted, "Xiaocheng'er? Mingjuan? ”

"Master." In the second carriage, Lin Xiuxiu poked her head out, her face was full of anxiety, and said, "Master, you can be regarded as coming." Sister Mingcui is gone, and they all go to find it. ”

"What?" Su Jinyao was surprised and asked, "What's going on?" Xiuxiu, tell me more about it. ”

Xiuxiu said: "It's normal for us to walk all the way from Anji City, and we are hurrying when it gets dark. During this period, Sister Mingjuan also asked Xiao Cheng'er if she wanted to wait for her master. Xiaocheng'er said that it was almost there, and said that it would be okay for us to go back first, you know the way. ”

Su Jinyao nodded and urged: "Talk about the point, and then what?" ”

Mingjuan hurriedly said: "It's this time, Sister Mingcui said that she wanted to be Gong and let us stop." Then she got out of the car and went away on her own, never to return. ”

Be at one's wits' end

Hearing this, Su Jinyao's heart "chuckled", and she felt that something was really wrong. Books.com

Because Ming Cuicai's mental condition has always been terrible, he never speaks. Today has only improved, but certainly not good enough to ask for it.

Then, Mingcui suddenly called "stop" and said that she wanted to "go out of court", which is very abnormal.

It's a pity that Mingjuan and Xiaocheng'er didn't understand this, and they didn't find it unreasonable, and they thought it would be good for Mingcui to say a few more words.

As a result, Mingcui may have had something happen suddenly, or she had already intended to do something, and then walked away alone.

Su Jinyao looked at the darkness around her and said, "How long have they been looking?" ”

"Not for a while." Xiuxiu couldn't help but shudder, shrunk her neck and said, "Originally, I also wanted to help find it, but Xiaocheng'er said that they wouldn't go far away, so let me stay here to take care of Xiuqing." ”

Su Jinyao said "nonsense", and then said to Qiu Ying: "You and Qingyu Gongzi stay to guard their sister and brother, and Ah Ning and I will go to look for it nearby." ”

Autumn Shadow agreed, and got off the horse.

Mu Qingyu went to light the lanterns of each car, which could be regarded as positioning a target for the people who were looking for the darkness.

Su Jinyao nodded, and A-Ning dismounted and prepared to enter the village. Just walked forward for a while, I saw Mingjuan and Mingrui running out.

"Master, Mingcui, she ......" When Mingrui saw that it was Su Jinyao, she shouted anxiously, and her voice was choked.

However, Mingjuan was quite calm, pulled Mingrui to signal her to calm down, and then walked in front of Su Jinyao before saying, "Master, we were careless and didn't take care of Mingcui." ”

Su Jinyao patted Mingjuan on the shoulder to show comfort, and then asked, "In which direction did she go?" ”

"Towards the village." Mingrui said, sniffled, and continued: "It's all my fault." I fell asleep in the car, and Mingcui was still in a daze when she got out of the car, so I slowed down a bit. By the time I chased to the village, there was no trace of Mingcui, and I didn't know where she had gone. ”

Mingjuan hurriedly said: "Master, don't blame Mingrui. Actually, I should have followed Mingcui, but I was still waiting in the car, I really shouldn't. ”

Mingrui hurriedly said: "No. Sister Ming came to menstruation, and she was also very hard to travel these days, plus she was a little unaccustomed to the water and soil, she ate very little every day, and she didn't have any strength and couldn't follow Mingcui. ”

Su Jinyao waved her hand and said, "Now that Mingcui is gone, don't argue about this." I'm going to look for her now, maybe I'll find some clues in a short time. ”

Su Jinyao used to be very good at checking traces and tracking them. So as long as she is given some time and asked her to find clues, she should find Mingcui's traces soon.

Mingrui nodded again and again after hearing this, and said, "Master, you must get Mingcui back." This black rumbling piece, Mingcui alone will be even more afraid. ”

Su Jinyao nodded, and motioned for Mingjuan and Mingrui to go back to the car and wait first. "Stay here and don't run around." If anyone else comes back, don't look for it anymore, they are all waiting for me to transfer by the car. ”

"Yes." Mingjuan agreed, and Mingrui went back to the car first.

Su Jinyao is very familiar with this place, but the others are not familiar with it. Rather than let those people wander around without a clue, let them wait here. Once you have a clue, follow the directional search.

A-Ning followed Su Jinyao's side, but she was actually very worried about Su Jinyao's foot injury.

But Su Jinyao was eager, and she didn't want to say anything more. When he walked past a tree, he pulled out a dagger and cut down a branch of suitable length and sturdy, and handed it to Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao glanced at it, smiled and took it, it doesn't look good with a cane, but it's good to let her feet fall to the root of the disease.

When I walked into the village, it was already late at this time, so most of the people in the village had already turned off the lights.

The ancients did not have much entertainment, especially the poor families in small mountain villages, who lived a life of sunset.

Su Jinyao looked at the past, and the few families with the lights on all looked peaceful and peaceful, not as if they had received the living.

Su Jinyao said to A-Ning: "Let's follow the path to the outside of the village, I don't think it's very likely that Mingcui will enter the village, let alone go to a certain house." ”

A Ning nodded and followed behind Su Jinyao. She thought about it and put forward her own thoughts, "I also think that Mingcui is not in the village. The rest of us had already gone looking for her, and if she had been in the village, she would have found it a long time ago. And the people in the village didn't come out to check because of our past voices, proving that Mingcui, a foreigner, did not bother them. ”

Su Jinyao agreed, and walked out of the village with A Ning from the path.

Su Jinyao tried her best to pay attention to the footprints on the road and whether there were traces left on the grass and shrubs on the side of the road.

However, first, it is dark and the vision is not good, which affects the discovery and judgment of details; Second, there are more traces of people coming and going in the village, and Mingcui's shoes have no characteristics, so they really can't be found out for a while.

Therefore, after searching for nearly half an hour, Su Jinyao and A Ning almost searched around the village for half a circle, but they still didn't find anything.

"No, it's not the way to go. The more time passes, the more dangerous Mingcui becomes. Su Jinyao wrinkled her brows and thought of a way, and she was a little helpless for a while.

"Second sister." Xiao Cheng'er's voice remembered from behind him, and then he ran over in a hurry.

Su Jinyao hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Xiaocheng'er, have you found anything?" ”

Xiao Cheng'er shook his head and said, "I went back to the car just now to take a look, and there was no news over there, and Sister Mingcui didn't go back at all." But everyone else has already gone back, and I'm here to ask you if there's any other way. If you really can't do it, let the carriage go back first, and you and I will look for it here. ”

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "It's really not helpful for them to stay here, you ask Qiu Ying to send them home first, and I'll gather the secret agents around here to see if they can find some clues after they come." ”

Xiao Cheng'er sighed and said, "If there are many people, you may not be able to find it." And there is no trace around this village, I am afraid that I have to go into the mountains to find it. With such a large mountain, dozens of spies may not be effective. ”

Su Jinyao also knew that the larger the range, the more difficult it would be to search. But now there is no other way but to increase the number of people as much as possible.

Suddenly, when Su Jinyao and Xiaocheng'er had nothing to do, a wolf howl came from the mountain.

The wolf's howling voice was rough and loud, with the spirit and charm of looking down on the mountains and rivers. It seems that what it has is not a mountain forest, but the hegemony of the world.

Encirclement of wolves

Su Jinyao and Xiao Cheng'er were stunned when they heard the wolf howl, and then their eyes flashed with brilliance.

"It's Ah Ye." Su Jinyao clapped her hands and said with a smile: "We should have thought of it a long time ago." Xiaocheng'er, you go and ask Mingjuan to bring a piece of Mingcui's clothes, preferably the one she just worn. Underwear is better. ”

Xiao Cheng'er frowned slightly when he heard this, obviously hesitated, and was also embarrassed.

Su Jinyao hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I forgot about it all of a sudden, it's not appropriate for you to ask for this kind of thing as a boy." A-Ning, you go. ”

A-Ning nodded and turned back.

Su Jinyao beckoned behind him again: "I and Xiaocheng'er will go up the mountain first, and we will leave a mark for you." Just look for it. ”

A-Ning agreed, and ran towards the carriage with a light effort.

Su Jinyao and Xiaocheng'er walked towards the mountains in the direction of the wolf's howl.
