"Changning was here before noon?" Gu Feiyu was still holding a torch in his hand, and the smoke from the burning seemed to cover the night sky with a hazy veil, a little stuffy, he frowned and said, "Are you going to the back of there?" ”

He only knew that Gu Changning had not returned since he went out at noon, and at this moment he suddenly heard someone say that she had come here at noon, and he quickly connected it in his heart, thinking about whether this had anything to do with Gu Changning's disappearance.

"Yes, she's going to the back." Aunt Wang pointed him in the direction as she spoke, and that direction was to go to Old Man He's house.

"Thank you, auntie, I'll go ask below." Gu Feiyu nodded at her and walked straight back.

The people who lived in this area were all standing at the door, probing or lying on the door panel to pay attention to the conversation between the two, and Old Man He was naturally too.

When he heard Aunt Wang's words at this moment, his face darkened, and he immediately stood up and admitted it directly.

"Ah Fei, don't ask, Changning came to look for me in the morning."

Hearing this, Lao Zhang's head turned sideways in an instant, looked at him sideways, and asked in surprise, "Why did she come to you?" ”

"Hey, it's Gu Shan who did me a favor before his death, after he died, I saw that their orphans and widows were also pitiful, so I sent them a hunted pheasant, Changning came over today, in fact, to thank me, sent me a bowl of flat food."

When Old Man He said that he gave Gu Changning's family a pheasant, everyone gasped more or less, with envy and jealousy in their eyes.

It wasn't until he heard him say that Gu Changning had sent him a bowl of flat food that the light weakened slightly.

"I see." Knowing the cause and effect, Gu Feiyu nodded, didn't say anything more, and didn't continue to walk.

Further down is the forest, because it is located in a remote area, very few children will come here to play, so he speculated that Gu Changning is not here.

Of course, even here, he alone couldn't get in and find her.

Gu Feiyu quickly made a decision, and said to everyone: "Today is the Midyear Festival, I won't bother everyone to burn paper to worship the ancestors, I'll go to the other side to look for it first." ”

"Eh, okay, then you can go quickly." Aunt Wang hurriedly replied.

It wasn't until Gu Feiyu's figure walked away that everyone was talking with curiosity.

"Ouch, such a child, how can you say that if you don't see it, you'll be gone." A silver-haired grandmother with a cane and a leaning back sighed.

"Where is it missing, in my opinion, she must have gotten lost for fun, so she didn't come back." A younger woman rolled her eyelids and said disdainfully.

"This may not be ......," a strong man next door to the woman retorted, "I heard that there are several children in the county who have lost several of them, and they all said that they were done by Shoot the Flowers, and I thought that it was fortunate that our village was fine, but now it seems that I am afraid that the Shoot Flowers has reached out to our village!" ”

"What? Shoot Hanako? The woman was stunned, opened a pair of apricot eyes, and said in shock, "Ouch, it's terrible to shoot flowers, I heard that they all have blood on their hands, and they are killing people like hemp, but it's terrifying." ”

"If it's really a flower shoot, I'm afraid that the girl doll of the Gu family will never be able to get it back." Another middle-aged woman also shouted, "They are not only murderous, they are simply mad and inhumane!" I can't be cut by a thousand cuts! ”

Old man He heard the conversation between the two, his back molars tightened, he licked his dry lips, his eyes were cold, and he stood in place without saying a word.

Fortunately, it was getting dark now, and he was standing at the back again, and no one noticed his eyes.

When they heard the conversation between the two women, they all nodded in agreement.

Everyone seemed to be a little afraid of this topic, and after a few hasty conversations, they all closed the door and retreated to their homes.

Lao Zhangtou is no exception, he is also afraid to hurry back to the house, but there is still a person standing at the door of his house, and he has to say to someone before closing the door: "Lao He, I will go back to the house first, I won't talk to you, you should go back quickly, it's not safe outside, that's a flower shoot!" ”

“…… Got it, I'll go back now. Old man He took a deep breath, nodded back, and turned away without stopping.

I don't know what this old man is afraid of, how can he not catch him a person whose half foot has fallen into the soil!

Besides, now in the village, who is so stupid as to shoot flowers will enter the village and kidnap people, isn't it sent to the door himself!

Old man He returned to his house with a full stomach.

……

"How? Did you find it? ”

"No, what about you?"

"No, we went everywhere we could in the village, and we didn't even see a shadow."

"Eh, Huai'an, do you want to go home and have a look? Maybe your sister has returned? A teenager who was only three years older than Gu Huai'an said.

"No, if my sister had come back, she would have come looking for me." Gu Huai'an swallowed his saliva and said with a dry throat.

Everyone looked at each other and felt that it was too.

"Why don't we look for it again?" A lean teenager said.

"How else to find it? Didn't we just search the whole village? If people are in the village, can they hide when they see us moving so much? Another impatient teenager frowned and said in a somewhat impulsive tone.

was called out to look for someone in such a dark night, he was inevitably a little unhappy in his heart, and he didn't have a good face for Gu Huai'an's brother and sister.

Ignoring the unfriendliness in his tone, the crowd fell silent.

Yes, if people were still in the village and had seen the movement, how could they not appear now.

"That'...... Shall we go back to the patriarch? Seeing that the atmosphere was a little frozen, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes first looked left and right at his cousins before asking cautiously.

"The whole village has been rummaged, and the uncles and uncles have all seen the jokes, but they haven't even found a figure, so they have to go back to my uncle first!" The impatient young man rolled his eyes when he heard this, and replied angrily.

It's no wonder that he spoke so unceremoniously in this group of people, because he had a daddy with a backstage.

The young father's father and Gu Yuan, the patriarch of the Gu clan, are brothers, so Gu Yuan is his uncle, and the relationship is closer than others.

And the patriarch is the most powerful in the clan, and the young man has someone behind him, so he is naturally confident.

In fact, he didn't want to come, but I don't know what kind of madness the uncle had, so he had to call him to look for someone together, and his attitude was very tough, which made him rebellious and even more unhappy with the Huai'an brothers and sisters.

At this time, he heard someone asking, and he took the opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction.

Everyone still didn't hear his complaints, and the oldest of them was the grandson of the fourth grandfather of the Gu family, Gu Youting, who was twenty years old this year.

He listened to the conversation of his cousins, pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "Then let's go back first and ask the patriarch's opinion." ”

This group of Gu family boys responded in unison, and followed closely to the patriarch's house to resume their lives.

Each of them held torches high in their hands, and the orange-red light illuminated this black village road, and they appeared at the door of the patriarch's house with this firelight.

"Uncle, uncle-" As soon as the impatient young man saw the place, he hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd, and was the first to rush into Gu Yuan's courtyard, calling out repeatedly.

"How's it going, have you found someone?" Gu Yuan was still talking to the young man's father in the main house, when he suddenly heard the voice coming, hurriedly stepped forward, stood under the eaves and asked a group of half-grown young men.

"No, we've gone through the whole village, and we haven't seen a single shadow." The young man couldn't wait to take the words, and didn't forget to complain, "If you want me to say that this Gu Changning is really, what day is it not good to stay at home today, if you have to go out and hang around, you will find trouble for everyone!" ”

Gu Huai'an had been standing behind everyone thinking about where his sister might go, and when he heard his complaint, his face sank, his lips were pursed, his eyes swept over the young man, and he quickly retracted it, with an expressionless face.

Everyone is from the same origin, they are all members of the Gu clan, and they should support each other.

Today you are in trouble, I will help, tomorrow I am in trouble, you help me, this is the meaning of the existence of the clan.

Like his father, as long as it is within his ability, he will always go to wherever he needs to help, even if the three younger brothers born to his stepmother do not have a good relationship with him, but when they find him, he will respond and never shirk.

Gu Huai'an thought of this, his brows furrowed again, and he secretly decided that it would be better to have less contact with such a cousin in the future, even if he was close to the patriarch.

Because such a person only knows to take care of himself, if something happens to his family in the future, I am afraid that he will be the fastest runner.

Clans are of great significance to all clansmen.

What's more, in a way, the clan is more deterrent than the imperial court.

Because the clan has the right to directly give death to the wrongdoer, even the court officials cannot prevent them from opening the ancestral hall to enforce the family law - of course, the special grade is another matter.

And a large sect, if it wants to survive and stand tall among the various nobles, the strength of the clan is the most crucial.

As long as there are clansmen, there are clans, and if there is blood, they can leave roots.

This is also the reason why all the clansmen have been instilled with the belief of ancestral halls since they were young.

It is to let them know that only when the clan is united and supports each other can the clan grow stronger and stronger and exist for hundreds of years.

Of course, not every clan values the concept of clan so much.

Some clans are under the oppression of the big, and the strong bully the weak, and sooner or later disasters will happen to such clansmen.

Don't look at Gu Huai'an, he is only twelve years old, but he has also read and read since he was a child, and he grew up reading the words of sages, and he knows how to distinguish between relatives and distances.

Obviously, the young man who had been complaining just now had been excluded from the list of people worth contacting.

Gu Yuan didn't know that Gu Huai'an had thought of it so far at this moment, he was just very surprised when he heard his nephew say that he hadn't found anyone yet.

Thinking of the news coming back from the town some time ago, his brows furrowed, and he already had other thoughts in his heart.

Isn't it the female doll of Gu Shan's family who met Huazi?

That wouldn't be good......
