The woman carried the baby to the open area with the crowd of people, consciously escaped, quickened her steps, turned into a remote alley, knocked three times on the door of a house, the door was soon opened, and the woman immediately flashed in with the baby in her arms.

Cheng Jin suspected that the woman was stealing the baby, and was thinking about finding a place to sneak in, when she suddenly found that this place was somewhat familiar, it turned out that she unknowingly followed the woman to the alley where Yuxi lived, and from this family to four families, it was Yuxi's home.

She immediately knocked on Yu Xi's door without hesitation.

Yu Xi came to open the door with a disgraced face, and as soon as she opened the door, a smell of smoke rushed out of the house, she was obviously tossed by the stove again, she looked at the strange little maid in front of her who was drenched in the rain, and looked blank, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Mr. Yu, I'm Cheng Jin."

Although it didn't look like it, the voice was indeed Cheng Jin's, Yu Xi was taken aback, and hurriedly let her into the house, "It's windy and rainy, why don't you use an umbrella?" Quickly change out of your wet clothes. ”

"There was a fire in Pingkangfang, and in the crowd, I squeezed out the umbrella." Cheng Jin wiped the rain from his face, "Mr. Yu, I'm sorry." ”

"Don't say such a foreign thing, sit down and roast the fire......" Yu Xi glanced at the stove, a little embarrassed, "I accidentally extinguished this stove, and I don't know how to make a fire." ”

"I've never made a fire, so I threw it into the stove and burned it?" Cheng Jin has never done such a thing in his life, and the blank look in his eyes is no less than Yu Xi's.

"Why don't you try?" Yu Xi was also tossed by this stove to the point that he had no temper, as long as he could light this stove, he could do anything.

The two tossed for a long time, and finally lit the stove, but the whole room was full of smoke, and the two of them coughed.

"How did you come here at such a late hour?" Yu Xi opened the window to ventilate while covering his mouth and coughing.

The rain outside was heavy, and when she opened the window, the rain outside suddenly poured into the house, if it weren't for Cheng Jin blocking the stove, the stove would have been extinguished again.

Yu Xi hurriedly closed the window, brushed the rain off his body, and said, "Why don't you open a crack first and let the smoke slowly disperse?" ”

Cheng Jin laughed out loud, although Yu Xi is good at learning, he is really an idiot in life.

Yu Xi also laughed, "When I was a child, there was a maid and a maid at home to help serve, and later I went to Hongshan Academy to study, and I had a senior brother to help me in everything, but I didn't expect to go to the capital and have a good fortune, but because the price of goods in the capital is too high, I can't afford to hire a maid and a wife, so I have to bow down to everything, which makes you laugh." ”

Cheng Jin changed into the clean clothes that Yu Xi handed her, and sat by the fireside with her to roast the fire, "Mr. Yu, do you know all the people who live in this alley?" ”

"If you don't see what you look up and don't see when you look down, how can you not recognize it?" Yu Xi poured her a cup of hot tea, "But what's wrong?" ”

"There is a house with a black door and a large water tank at the door, who lives there?"

"It's a couple who came to the capital to do business, the man is about thirty years old, selling some sundries in Pingkangfang, the woman is only sixteen or seventeen years old, she lives in a simple house on weekdays, and she doesn't talk much when she sees people, and I don't have much contact with them on weekdays." Yu Xi has a gentle and amiable temperament, and even she said so, which shows that the popularity of that family is not good.

Cheng Jin told her what she had just seen, and Yu Xi immediately frowned, "Could it be that the woman is a kidnapper, who took advantage of the fire in Pingkangfang to steal the baby, and wants to sell him to the Yao family and his wife?" I heard that the two of them have been married for a few years, but they have never had children, maybe ......"

Cheng Jin drank hot tea, and always felt that this matter was not just as simple as buying and selling babies.

"Yes, these days I often hear the cry of the baby at night, the cry is not loud, only one or two sounds and then stopped, I still think it is a cat called spring, now think about it, I am afraid that there is indeed something wrong, that family may be using the business as a cover, specializing in abducting and selling babies and other hurtful things!" Yu Xi thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became.

"How many people are coming and going here?"

"There are more than a dozen families living in this alley, and there are more than a dozen families coming and going, which is usually quite lively, but there are not many people. If the Yao family really did the business of buying and selling babies, it stands to reason that there should be people in and out of the living, but I have never seen people in and out of their family, let alone babies......"

The more you look at this, the more bizarre it becomes.

"Mr. Yu, I want to go to that house to see." Cheng Jin's heart swelled with a strong uneasiness.

Yu Xi nodded, "Now I'm afraid it's too late to report to the government, but it may startle the snake and let the kidnapper escape, I'll go to that person's house with you to take a look." ”

She didn't bother at all, and immediately went back to the inner room to change into a set of light clothes, and put on the dagger, "Let's go!" ”

Cheng Jin was a little stunned, looking at Yu Xi's gentle and delicate appearance, she thought that it would take a lot of effort to convince her, but she didn't expect her to be neat, looking at her familiar appearance, I am afraid that she usually does this kind of thing, and she is really unseemly.

"Do you know martial arts? This courtyard wall is not high, can you climb over it? Yu Xi heard that Cheng Jin had infinite strength since she was a child, and her family invited her martial arts to practice, but she was not sure what her martial arts were.

"Yes, you knock on the door to lure them away, and I will take the opportunity to go into their house to check?"

Yu Xi gave her an approving look, held up an umbrella, and stepped into the rain without hesitation.

Now that the hour has passed, the candles have been extinguished in every house, and the alley is so quiet that only the sound of "whooshing" rain can be heard.

Yu Xi knocked on the door for a while, and the door opened reluctantly.

The little daughter-in-law of the Yao family had a wooden face, and her eyes like dead fish stared at her directly, and in such a cold night, she suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and she forgot what to say for a while.

"What's the matter?" The little daughter-in-law moved her lips, and the voice without a hint of human flavor seemed to come from her mouth, but from her stomach.

Yu Xi involuntarily glanced at her belly, forcibly put down her surprise and even fear, and tried to squeeze out a smiling face, "Yao family lady, my family has run out of fire, can you lend me one." ”

The little daughter-in-law suddenly rolled her eyes and let out a strange laugh, "Come in and get it." ”

Yu Xi's heart was cold, and now, she couldn't see that the Yao family's weirdness was not just as simple as buying and selling babies, but she didn't expect that there was such a strange place hidden under her nose.

Driven by strong curiosity, she only hesitated for less than a breath before stepping into the door of Yao's house.

As soon as she stepped inside, the door slammed shut, and the room was dark and silent.
