Chapter 92: Gu Changning wants to report to the official
"Not yet." Gu Changning replied timidly, handed the entire food box to Old Man He, quickly glanced at Aunt He, and said with a frightened face, "Then I'll go back first, Uncle He, Aunt He...... Good bye. ”
She paused when she made eye contact with the man and woman in the courtyard, and paused twice before continuing.
Because she didn't know who the man and the woman were, and she didn't know what their relationship was with Uncle He's family, she didn't know how to call someone.
Old man He also discovered this problem.
He smiled again, pretending to be casual and casually introduced, mentioning the identities of the two of them: "This is my niece from afar, and today I am bringing her husband and children to visit the two of us...... Go back quickly, Uncle won't delay you going home for dinner." ”
Gu Changning nodded indiscriminately and hurriedly left Uncle He's house.
When he left, he waved to them with a smile on his face, and after turning around and leaving the door, the smile on his face instantly fell, and his eyes were full of condensation.
The young man and woman who appeared in the courtyard were not the parents of the child at all!
The young man and woman were dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and the long hair on the woman's head was tied with only a wooden hairpin, and although their hands were not calloused, their skin was dark and slightly rough.
But that kid was different.
Although he was wearing the same coarse cloth clothes, his clothes were also very simple.
But from his white and tender little hands, plump face, and a temperament that ordinary people do not have, people can distinguish the difference between the two at a glance.
How could such a child be raised by this couple!
Gu Changning suddenly remembered one thing in his mind-
She remembered that at this time in her previous life, there was an incident in the county that photographed flowers.
Gu Changning suddenly felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet to his heart, and he couldn't help but shiver in this season of Mengqiu in July.
This matter is very important, and Gu Changning does not dare to be sloppy.
She wanted to talk to someone, but she didn't know who to turn to.
If you go to tell Ah Niang and my brother, I am afraid that they will be worried, especially because Ah Niang is still pregnant and can't be stimulated, and second, there is no evidence.
Without evidence, even if the patriarch of the Gu clan and Xinghua Village are found, people will only think that she is talking nonsense, which will startle the grass and snakes, and will cause trouble to the family.
Even if she immediately went to find someone to surround Uncle He's yard now, it would be too late.
If she was not mistaken, as soon as she left Uncle He's house, the man and the woman must have taken refuge with the children.
In this way, Gu Changning was very embarrassed.
It is impossible for the other party to act as if it never happened when she bumped into her on the spot, she has seen the appearance of that child, if the other party is really a flower child, she will definitely not let her go so easily.
It doesn't matter if she's overly nervous, or if she's worried, it's always right to be careful about this kind of thing.
Gu Changning returned home full of worries, and tried his best to make it look like nothing had happened to him for lunch, because it was impossible for the other party to come to the door at this time in broad daylight, not to mention that there were more than a dozen neighbors around, and the sound in the yard was a little louder, and the people around could hear it.
The other party is not only so stupid, but if this matter is not solved, it will still be a hidden danger, and I don't know when it will attack.
Gu Changning was a little worried, she brought the flat food she had hidden in advance, said to her brother and A-Niang, and was ready to go to the broken temple to find Weng Lao for help.
Weng Lao has traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers, has seen more of the world than she has eaten, and is experienced and old-fashioned, she also found that they are not as reliable as Weng Lao after screening the people in the entire village, so she decided to seek Weng Lao's help.
After hearing Gu Changning's words to the broken temple, Elder Weng's originally leisurely expression suddenly changed, staring at her quite solemnly, frowning and asking, "Are you sure it's a group of flower shooters?" ”
If it is really as Gu Changning said, then their family has been targeted at this moment, and they are afraid that their lives are worried!
He has seen the method of shooting flowers, because he is making a fortune of death, and if he is caught, he will be beheaded anyway, so everyone who does this business is a murderer who does not see blood.
They would rather kill an innocent person by mistake than spare a single person.
Not to mention that Gu Changning had already discovered their secret, and his life was even more at stake.
Gu Changning also knew what Weng Lao said, but she didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, and when she went to deliver food to the other party, she found that she was also a little flustered now, with a white face and a fast heartbeat.
"I, I can't be sure, it's just that the child looks like he has a different temperament, and he really doesn't look like a child raised by a farmer, and I've seen that young couple, and the family background is definitely not a good ......"
Whether it was in the house or in the village, everyone was very nervous about the existence of the flowers.
There is no other reason, just because some of the flowers are too inhumane and cruel.
A little soft-hearted and soft-hearted, just sell the kidnapped children into other people's homes as servants, no matter what kind of person the main family is, at least the body is still sound, and there can be a bowl of rice to eat.
However, after abducting people, some unconscionable flower children directly broke the hands and feet of the child, threw them on the street, and took advantage of the sympathy of the people to earn money, which is really hateful!
This is not allowed in any dynasty, because farming needs people, conscription also needs people, and the existence of shooting flowers is to cripple the able-bodied people, how can the country spare them.
Therefore, all those who are caught shooting flowers are sentenced to death without exception.
Even the imperial court would not let them die easily, but used all kinds of torture and whipping to torture people to death.
Under such a law, you can imagine who are willing to do flower shooting.
That's a bunch of ruthless outlaws!
In this way, Weng Lao could only say in a calm voice: "Report to the official, go to the official right now!" ”
"But...... I don't have evidence...... Gu Changning hesitated, "If there is no evidence, I'm afraid the government won't believe me." ”
"You don't have to worry about that." Weng Lao said, "I went to the town to drink two days ago, and I heard that many children have been lost in other counties, and I haven't found any clues. ”
He heard that there are many children of wealthy families, all of whom were accidentally lost when they went out with the nurse, and some of them were even the only children in the family.
Thinking that those big families are also willing to give up money to come out to find children, with this consideration, the government will not sit idly by.
Gu Changning nodded, she thought of Xue Mingkai, who came to the village last time because of Aunt Zhou's case, and thought that she could take this opportunity to make friends with him.
"In that case, without further ado, I'll go to the county office to report the case!" Gu Changning saw that Weng Lao seemed to be going with her, so he hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, "I'm going alone, I'm going faster, if I take Weng Lao, I'm afraid it will be ......."
How could Weng Lao not hear the unfinished meaning of the words, he was about to get up and stopped, deliberately "hummed", and pretended to be disdainful and said: "Don't be sentimental, I just want to cook some flat food, it's easy to get bad after a long time!" ”
The corners of Gu Changning's mouth twitched, and he nodded: "That's better......"
When Weng Lao heard this, he blew his beard again and stared at her, showing his dissatisfaction.
Gu Changning was used to being casual with him on weekdays, and Weng Lao himself didn't have any, just like the grandfather of the family next door who watched her grow up, so she didn't speak with the same scruples and restraints as she did with other elders in the village.
At this moment, seeing him glaring at himself, he grinned at him and squinted at him, and said in a voice as crisp as a bell: "Then I'll go to the county government first." ”
"Let's go." Weng Lao waved his hand at her and said with a look of disgust.
Then he saw her leave the broken temple, and then came out of the door behind the broken temple and went to the river to fetch water, ready to boil water.
At this moment, someone had been following behind Gu Changning, carefully stepping on the grass to avoid making a sound.
Now it's noon, the sun is shining, it's a festival again, the official road is connected to the sky in the distance, and it looks empty, and there is no one and no carriage passing by.
The people who followed behind him looked at the front and back without a shadow, it was a good time to start, just about to step forward, suddenly saw a black spot in front of him, frightened and quickly dodged, hid in the woods on both sides of the road, and lay on the trees to observe.
Gu Changning didn't care who that person was, but it wasn't until the distance between the two of them was getting closer and closer, close enough to see the appearance clearly, that she shouted in surprise: "Brother of the Lin family? How did you end up here? ”
After speaking, he paused for a moment, and quickly guessed the reason and said, "I came to see your aunt?" ”
"Exactly." Lin Jun was also surprised to see her, and nodded back.
"Then you go quickly, I still have to rush to the yamen, I can't talk to you."
"To the Yamen?" Lin Jun looked at her in surprise, "Why do you want to go to the Yamen for this big holiday?" Besides, why are you going? What about Huai'an? ”
Recently, the county government has received cases of the loss of children, which has made people who now have children at home panic, and they keep an eye on their children all day long, eager to tie them to the waistband of their trousers, and dare not look away for a moment.
Gu Changning is not very old, she is bright and cute, it is very dangerous to walk alone, how could Gu Huai'an agree to let her go to the town by herself?
"Uh...... This ......" Gu Changning scratched his ears and was speechless for a while.
She also thought that if she let A-Niang know that she went to the county government to report the case by herself, she was afraid that she would have to eat fried meat on a bamboo board when she came back.
Thinking of this, Gu Changning's eyebrows furrowed, and he was a little hesitant in his heart.
Otherwise, I would better go back and inform A-Niang of the matter first, and then my brother would accompany me to report to the official?
Lin Jun saw her frowning bitter gourd face, twisting her eyebrows and contemplative, so he blurted out: "Or I'll accompany you?" ”
"You're going with me?" Gu Changning's eyes widened in surprise, "Didn't you come to find your aunt?" It's not close to walk from here to the county office, and it will take an hour to say the least, this lunch ......."
She was looking at Lin Junze's emaciated figure, afraid that he would not be able to bear it if he walked such a long way hungry.
However, Lin Jun didn't take it seriously at all: "It doesn't matter, I ate a few pieces of dim sum before I went out, so I'm not hungry at this time." ”
"It's great if that's the case, thank you Brother Lin." When Gu Changning heard this, he immediately nodded and smiled at him.
The two agreed on the result, and were about to go together, but the man hiding in the tree secretly screamed badly.
They must not be allowed to report to the county office!
The man thought that he was a powerful adult, and he couldn't deal with two children, plus he still had the drug in his hand, so he immediately threw himself at them and sprinkled the drug/drug on them.
"It's not good, Childe is going to be snatched away!" The faces of the fourteen who were hidden on the side changed drastically, and they were about to rush up to save people.
