Dong Shu didn't know that the guy at the Xianggongguan Inn guessed that there was a problem in Yizhen, and when Ling Xiang came back, she had already told the cook that there would be some snacks to be delivered later, so she forgot what had just happened and began to look forward to the snacks that the chef was going to deliver.

When I had been staying in Xiahe Village, although the food cooked by the chef in the Xu family's kitchen was exquisite, there were not many types of dim sum.

What Dong Shu didn't expect was that since she left Xiahe Village, the chef has made more and more styles of dim sum, especially in the past few days, there has been no repeat style of dim sum.

Xu Shiqiu was originally worried that something would happen to Yizhen, which would make the little lady worried, but at this time, seeing that she forgot about the previous incident because of Ling Xiang's few words, she shook her head and didn't say anything more.

The servant who went out to inquire about the news came back not slowly, and after Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu left from the lobby and returned to the house, the servant who went out to inquire about the news had already brought the news back.

Ling Xiang took the opportunity to go to the kitchen to get snacks and brought back the news that the servants had inquired about.

"Yizhen has to pay homage to the mountain god every three years, select the best girl in the town, dress up the girl and bring it to the mountain. If the girl is still there after the night, it proves that the mountain god has not taken a fancy to the girl, and the girl's family can bring the girl back.

But the last three times to pay tribute to the mountain god, the girl disappeared after one night.

Originally, the main thing to worship the mountain god was some melons, fruits and livestock, and the people of the town were willing. But since the girl disappeared after these few sacrifices to the mountain god, it has become more and more difficult to find the girl who worships the mountain god every time.

And the three girls who disappeared this time are the three girls who were selected at the beginning of this year. It is rumored that they were all reluctant at first, because they were unwilling, so they suddenly disappeared, and it must have been the mountain god who was angry and was taken away by the mountain god.

And because the three girls selected before have disappeared one after another, I am afraid that this year's memorial will not be carried out as scheduled, and now the people of the town are a little worried. ”

Ling Xiang watched Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu finish saying this, then looked at them hesitantly and said, "Son, Madam, are these three girls really taken away by the mountain god?" ”

"How is that possible?" Xu Shiqiu shook his head as soon as Ling Xiang's words fell, and seeing Ling Xiang's worried face, he said with a smile: "Where there is a mountain god who needs the people to sacrifice with a girl, melons, fruits and livestock are good." ”

As soon as Xu Shiqiu heard Ling Xiang's words just now, he felt that the disappearance of these three girls must be related to the triennial worship of the mountain god in Yizhen.

Dong Shu had been sitting obediently eating snacks when Ling Xiang spoke, and after Ling Xiang spoke, she directly forgot to eat snacks in shock.

Now after hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu hurriedly looked at him after swallowing the snack in his mouth and asked, "Xianggong, what about Mr. Shi?" ”

"They must have accidentally broken something, otherwise they wouldn't have been detained by the mayor." Xu Shiqiu said this, but in his heart he was thinking about how to meet Xu Jie and Shi Yuan, only when he saw them, he could make the next move.

There is also this town mayor, listening to Ling Xiang's meaning just now, the girls who disappeared after the previous three memorials were all only after the town mayor presided over the memorials.

Xu Shiqiu felt that their breakthrough this time was probably the mayor of the town.

However, since it has been guessed that the detention of Xu Jie and Shi Yuan has something to do with the memorial in Yizhen, Xu Shiqiu also has some bottom in his heart.

Dong Shu didn't know if her father-in-law had guessed anything, but when she saw her father-in-law frowning and thinking deeply, she didn't speak, just sat next to him.

Dong Shu originally thought that Xu Shiqiu would at least have to think about it for a while, but he didn't expect that after he waved away Ling Xiang, he actually looked at himself and said, "Lady, do you want to go out for a walk?" ”

"Get out?"

Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu with some incomprehension, although she was not smart, she could guess from the reaction of the inn guys just now that if they had extra actions, they would be targeted.

Thinking of this, Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Xianggong, if we go out so directly, will it ...... Well, scare the snake? ”

Dong Shu didn't know that the word she thought of was right, but after her words fell, Xu Shiqiu looked at her and nodded: "That's right, we're going to fight the grass and scare the snake now." ”

Dong Shu really didn't know what Xu Shiqiu wanted to do, but they couldn't ignore Xu Jie, Shi Yuan and a few other servants, if they wanted to leave, they had to save them and leave together.

"So what do I need to do?" After Dong Shu finally looked at Xu Shiqiu and asked this, Xu Shiqiu didn't answer her words, just watched her hook her lips and smile lightly.

Dong Shu didn't understand what Xu Shiqiu meant, so she could only do whatever Xu Shiqiu said.

After changing into two slightly more expensive jewelry, Dong Shu followed Xu Shiqiu directly out of the door of the inn.

The guy at the inn was originally greeting the guests, but when he saw them coming down from upstairs, he hurriedly approached them, "Childe and Mrs. are they going out?" ”

"Well, go out and have a look, I heard that your Yizhen town is very lively this year." Xu Shiqiu spoke directly, and after saying this, he didn't look at the look of the guy, and left directly with Dong Shu.

After watching Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu leave, the guy returned to the inn and didn't stay for a while, so he took the opportunity to go to the backyard to pick up things and walked to the back door of the inn.

The back door of the inn is facing an alley, and there are many ordinary people setting up stalls in the alley.

The man came to a vegetable stall and said in a low voice: "The boy who lived in the store just now went out with his wife again." You go to deliver the letter, I can't figure out what this person is here to do, it's inconvenient to leave, let someone send someone over there to keep an eye on them. ”

After the man finished instructing this man, he went straight back to the inn to continue his work, and did not stay here for long.

After the man in cloth who got his news nodded at him, he directly cleaned up the vegetables that had not been sold out on the stall, and then left the backyard of the inn without looking back.

Neither the innkeeper nor the man in the cloth knew that someone was staring at them while they were talking.

When the man in cloth left, there were still people following him not far away.

After Xu Shiqiu took Dong Shu out of the house, he went directly to the most prosperous street in the town.

"Lady, do you have what you want?" Xu Shiqiu looked down at Dong Shu beside him, and saw that her eyes had been staring around, so he asked directly.

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's question, Dong Shu glanced up at him, then shook her head with her chin and said, "No." ”

Dong Shu really didn't want anything at this meeting, she just thought that she was just following Xianggong out today to 'fight the grass and scare the snake'.

The first time I did this, I was nervous, and I still had the heart to look at the shops around me.

Xu Shiqiu didn't expect his little lady to be so nervous, and after reaching out and pinching her palm, he said, "Don't be nervous, let's take a look at random." ”

Saying this, Xu Shiqiu looked at the little lady and said, "Which store does the lady want to see?" ”

After Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's question, she pursed her lips and smiled shyly, then raised her finger and said to the inconspicuous rouge shop in front of her: "I want to go there to see." ”

Hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Shiqiu didn't say anything, but just led Dong Shu directly towards the store.

Dong Shu didn't expect her father-in-law to really lead her to this store directly, she looked up at Xu Shiqiu a little nervously, and after seeing that he was not unhappy, her steps couldn't help but become brisk.

After Dong Shu followed Xu Shiqiu into this rouge shop, his eyes involuntarily fell on the rouge gouache in the store.

Yizhen's rouge gouache is not of the highest quality, but Dong Shu rarely visits such shops, knowing that the goods in the shop will not be used, but he is still attracted to it.

Xu Shiqiu saw that Dong Shu's eyes were attracted by the rouge gouache, and he also looked at the rouge gouache in the store.

Originally, Xu Shiqiu just took a casual look, but when he looked up, he found that the store was actually a young man who was not very old.

At first, Xu Shiqiu didn't pay much attention to the young man, but when the young man found out that Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu had no intention of buying, he didn't get angry.

Xu Shiqiu has a store in his own hands, and he knows that as a shopkeeper, he is not happy to meet a customer like himself who only looks at it but does not buy it.

But the shopkeeper in front of him didn't seem to care, his eyes looked out for a while, and then he couldn't help but look behind him, but he didn't look at him and his little lady.

"Shop, is that all you have in the store?" Xu Shiqiu looked at the shopkeeper and asked casually, and after seeing that he didn't react when he heard his words, he took two steps forward and continued to ask, "Shopkeeper, did you hear me talk?" ”

Xu Shiqiu's movements were not sudden, but the shopkeeper who was standing on the side who had already lost his mind suddenly panicked after hearing Xu Shiqiu's voice: "What! After saying this, the shopkeeper looked at Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shulai in front of him.

After seeing that the clothes they were wearing were all things that he had never seen, the shopkeeper was faintly frightened, and after taking another look at the jewelry worn by Dong Shu, the young shopkeeper clenched his fists even more.

Dong Shu was still looking at the goods in the store, but she didn't care when Xu Shiqiu opened her mouth, until she heard the store speak, and then noticed that he had been staring at her.

"Is this something on the store's mind?" Dong Shu looked at the store and opened his mouth casually, seeing that after saying this, his eyes instantly fell on him and instantly lit up, somehow, blurted out: "If you have something on your mind, you will solve it first, and then open a store after solving your mind, otherwise you won't know that the goods in the store are stolen." ”

Dong Shu just said casually, and Xu Shiqiu, who heard her words, also shook his head dotingly.

But what neither of them expected was that the shopkeeper who heard Dong Shu's words was stunned, and suddenly 'pounced' directly at Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu and knelt down.

"What are you doing here?" Dong Shu watched the shopkeeper speak, and saw that he knelt and couldn't get up, so he pulled Xu Shiqiu and was about to leave.

But just when they made a move, the shopkeeper finally spoke: "Ask the son and the lady to help the villain take one person out of Yizhen, and the villain is willing to give all his net worth." ”

Dong Shu really didn't expect that she and her father-in-law would have a day when they would be asked for help by strangers, she looked at the shopkeeper kneeling in front of her, and wanted to open her mouth but didn't know what to say.

looked up at his father-in-law blankly, and saw that the father-in-law looked at the store and didn't speak, and after moving his lips, he still didn't speak.

Xu Shiqiu was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that when he took the little lady out of the house, the little lady pointed at the shop at will, something would happen.

And he had a hunch that what the shopkeeper was asking for was probably related to the three girls who had disappeared before.

Thinking of this, Xu Shiqiu looked directly at the store and asked, "Let me guess, the person you asked us to take away is a girl?" ”

As soon as Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, he thought he was guessing wildly.

Unexpectedly, in the next moment, I heard the shopkeeper exclaim: "How can Childe know?" ”

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Dong Shu looked directly at Xu Shiqiu, and a pair of crescent eyes were full of confusion.

She didn't know why she and Xianggong went to a random shop and encountered such a thing.

Could it be true that he said that he was 'blessed' on a fair day?
