Chapter 100 And I saw the smoke rising
"Let's go, we don't have to look at it, the mayor said no, there won't be." Yuan Yuguo glanced at everyone and signaled to leave.
"Xianggong, why don't we check the personnel registration?" Pucao asked puzzled.
"As long as the mayor doesn't let us see it, we won't find any clues even if we waste a day here, and besides, they won't be so stupid as to register with their real names."
"Brother Yuguo, do you mean that the mayor has been threatened?" Okuchikawa said.
"That's right, it must be Jiang Lingling who controls the mayor, otherwise how many people don't love silver now? This woman is really powerful, not only controlling Mo Jing, but also wanting to annihilate us in one fell swoop! ”
"Now there's only one traditional method, we split into three groups and go door-to-door to find it."
"Okay, then we will divide into three roads, Xing'er and I are in charge of the west and north of the village, Brother Yuguo and Pucao are in charge of the east of the village, Xiaobao and Yuyan are in charge of the south of the village, and we will gather at the entrance of the village before dark."
The village has winding paths, chickens and dogs walking everywhere, farmhouses of blue bricks and tiles rising from the ground, and blue rivers winding around endless green fields, a beautiful rural scene.
I don't know if Mo Jing will be attracted by this idyllic atmosphere, and I can't help but think about it!
"Eighth woman, do you say that Mo Wei likes Jiang Poria or not?"
"I heard people in the house say that Jiang Lingling dances and cooks food for him all day long, trying her best to please him, but Mo Wei looks cold all day long. At first, I thought that Mo Jing didn't like me because of Jiang Pori, but later I learned that Mo Wei didn't seem to like Jiang Poria and just regarded her as a sister. ”
"Since Mo Wei doesn't like Jiang Poria, how can she live an idyllic life with her and still be happy?"
"Could it be that Jiang Lingling held Mo Wei hostage?"
"Is Mo Jing the kind of person who is held hostage? There must be an important reason......"
They took the portrait and inquired from house to house, until they found the sunset and the west mountain, but they did not find any trace.
"Xianggong, I'm so thirsty, I feel like my throat is smoking." Pucao wiped the sweat from her face and licked her dry lips.
"It's time to go to this house, let's go beg for a drink."
There is a lock on the door of this house, and it is not long to see that the handle of the door is not dusty. The jujube tree at the door is full of big, red jujubes, which are seductive and shiny, as if waiting for someone to pick them.
Pu Cao's face showed surprise, and one flew to kick the jujube tree a few times, and suddenly the branches and leaves shook, and the jujube fell one after another.
"It's so sweet, Xianggong, you can taste it, I'll bring some for them." She rubbed it on her clothes and stuffed it into Yuan Yuguo's mouth.
"The master is not here, it's not good for us to steal and eat other people's dates." He replied vaguely, the date was indeed crisp and sweet.
"Then let's rest here for a while, and wait for the master to come back, and leave them a little bit of silver."
The two of them sat on the stone bench at the door, gnawed the dates like mice, and the grass leaned on his shoulder, throwing the dates into his mouth one by one, with a bit of greed in his expression.
"Eight women, pay attention to your appearance."
"Xianggong, it's hard for us to enjoy the idyllic scenery, can you just let me be a little bold? No one was watching it anyway. ”
As soon as no one was looking, Pu Cao sensed two black eyes from the side, and they were looking at her intently.
She was so frightened that she hurriedly stopped her mouth, but her current identity is also the Lady of the Medical God and the Lord of the Snow Country, and she always has to worry about face.
"Ba Po, why did you smoke your face?" Yuan Yuguo was amused by her expression.
"Xianggong, there are two children watching us......" Pu Cao pointed awkwardly to the wall next door.
Sure enough, two crooked little heads appeared on it, seven or eight years old, with cute expressions, looking curiously at these two men and women who ate dates and ate without discipline.
This is the cutest child he has ever seen except for Okibei, with a crown of jade, red lips and white teeth, just like a boy and a girl in a New Year's painting.
He couldn't help but wave at them, and the two children looked calm and ignored them. So he took out a few pieces of silver and shook them in a seductive gesture.
Sure enough, even the children understood the preciousness of silver, and for the sake of the silver, the two children jumped off the wall.
"Little brother, little sister, do you know where the owner of this house has gone?"
"Sister Hibiscus and Brother Zhihe went to ......" Just as the little girl wanted to speak, the little boy covered her mouth and said cautiously, "Mother won't let us speak." ”
Faced with this obvious loophole, Yuan Yuguo's face showed an amiable smile: "Since your mother won't let you say it, then don't say it." It's just that my brother and sister just ate their dates and want to give them the silver, what should I do? ”
The two children said in unison, "I can help you bring the money." ”
"Okay, then I'll ask you to do it for you." Yuan Yuguo handed over the broken silver to the hands of the two children.
"Wow! That's a lot of silver! The eyes of the two children shone brightly with silver.
"These dates don't cost so much silver, so I'll buy the rest for you."
"Thank you, brother."
"Little brother, little sister, have you ever seen these two people?"
Yuan Yuguo took out the portrait, and the two children were stunned for a moment, and then shook their heads desperately: "We haven't seen them, we really haven't seen them." ”
"Little brother and sister, don't be nervous, we're just asking by the way."
"We're going home."
"Little brother, little sister, we are thirsty, can we go to your house to beg for water?"
"No, my mother said you can't let strangers into the house."
"Is it okay for us to wait at the door without entering the house?"
"Okay then."
Looking at their backs, Yuan Yuguo made a precise judgment: "When these two children saw the portraits, they looked nervous, and they desperately explained that they didn't see them, which proved that they had been arranged in advance. And this locked door is where Mo Jing and Jiang Lingling live. ”
"Well, Xianggong's analysis makes sense, so what should we do?"
"The children's families will definitely come out later, and when the time comes, we will see the opportunity to do something, and we must find a way to get into their house."
"Okay, it's all up to the arrangement."
Bursts of smoke rose from the roof next to it, forming an S shape in the direction of the wind, one after another, continuously, like flowing white clouds, and like a girl in a white veil dancing.
Looking at the old house and the smoke, Yuan Yuguo couldn't help but think of the old house he lived in when he was a child, every day when he came home from school, he would see the rising smoke from a distance, that was his warmest moment, he could eat a meal of food made by his mother.
"Xianggong, what are you thinking?"
"Miss my mom."
"It's a pity that I haven't met my mother-in-law yet."
"It's best not to see it, so as not to be frightened by you."
"Ugly daughter-in-law is going to see her in-laws sooner or later!"
"Be reserved, don't move your hands and feet, ......"
