Soon, all the people in the county lord's mansion who were familiar with the streets of Bei'an City came out, including Wang Dacui and He Miao, and a group of people divided into several groups to look for them in the city. Similarly, Xiao Man and Lu Li also rushed to the east as fast as possible to install the lanterns.

She shook off Lu Li's hand and ran forward with all her might, circling around the huge lantern, but she didn't see the familiar figure. As the night grew darker, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, and she inquired all the way, but no one had seen the jade.

Lu Li also performed light skills and jumped to a relatively high building, using the light of the lantern to search for jadeite.

But without exception, neither of them found the jadeite.

After running several laps and asking countless passers-by, Xiao Man, who still couldn't find the jade, was so tired that she bent over, resting on her knees with her hands on her hands, and as the heat she exhaled instantly dissipated, the little hope left in Xiao Man's heart gradually sank.

I said I came to see the lanterns, but why wasn't the jade here?

"Xiaoman!" Lu Li ran over from a distance and frowned, "Jade didn't come here at all, or she has already left, it seems that we have to go somewhere else to find her." ”

Xiao Man's eyes were red, tears were rolling in her eyes, she grabbed Lu Li's hand, bit her lip and overflowed with a trace of crying: "Bei'an City is so big, where should we go to find jade?!" It's so late, and the people who have been here before are gone, how are we going to find her? ”

She is now angry and regretful in her heart, angry at Jade's restless nature, and regretting that she couldn't take Jade away with her at that time.

"Xiaoman, don't cry yet." Lu Li bent down, gently wiped away the woman's tears, looked at her eyes, and said seriously: "Jade is with you all day long, there is absolutely no enemy in Bei'an City, besides, she is a little maid, and she doesn't have much silver on her, so it shouldn't be that someone is seeking money." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Man suddenly cried, "But... But Jade is a girl's family after all, what if someone or someone sees her beauty and has a bad heart? Lu Li, what should I do?! ”

Things have developed to this point, Xiaoman has lost all her mind, she is now anxious and regretful, and there is still a little guilt and anger, in short, all kinds of emotions are intertwined, and she has long been on the verge of collapse.

Fortunately, Lu Li's heart was very strong, he pressed Xiao Man's shoulder, and kept comforting: "Don't worry, I have asked the coachman to go back to the house to report the news, and the secret guard and other subordinates should also come out to help find the jade, Bei'an City is so big, people will find it sooner or later." ”

Xiao Man was still squibbing and crying, his thin shoulders trembled, and the weather was cold, and the silence around him made Xiao Man who was covering his face and crying more and more thin and pitiful.

Lu Wei was in pain, and walked forward while holding the other party's shoulder, while comforting: "Jade is clever, even if you really encounter any accidents, you can deal with the past, besides, as long as Jade mentions your name, even if someone has bad intentions, then don't dare to bully her, right?" ”

"Well, I... I know. Xiao Man sniffed, still uncomfortable and flustered, and didn't know whether it was cold or scared and worried, she trembled vigorously, and her voice trembled: "Lu Li, I, where should we find her now?" ”

It can be seen that Xiao Man is trying to calm and calm down, although her body is not completely controlled, and she is still trembling and trembling, but her mood is much better than at the beginning.

Lu Li hugged the other party tightly and said, "Let's go to a few places where Jade frequents first, and then contact the secret guards to see if there are any clues on their side." ”

"Well, I know... Know where Jade often goes. Xiao Man is trying to calm himself down, so that he can keep up with Lu Li's thoughts, to be able to help the other party, and also to be able to find Jade as soon as possible.

"Xiaoman, I'll accompany you, we can always find jadeite, don't worry." Lu Li comforted.

After all, a girl who is not familiar with the local area is too dangerous to get lost in the city alone.

The two left the east, Xiao Man tried his best to calm himself, and then began to think back to the places that Jade knew, except for a few rouge shops that he frequented, as well as Hao Yixuan, Zhangfu, etc., Jade seemed to have no other places to know.

But at this time, the rouge shop and Hao Yixuan should have closed their doors a long time ago, and Jade would not go to Zhang's mansion for no reason......

After thinking about it, Xiaoman was unpredictable, irritability and several emotions in his heart flared up together, and the sourness on the tip of his nose swarmed up. She suddenly stopped, went directly into the man's arms, whimpered and cried: "I can't, I... I can't remember, I don't know where else to ......"

"Don't worry, since I can't think of where Jade might go, then I'll contact the Dark Guard first."

As soon as Lu Li's words fell, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps not far away, especially in this silent night.

"Who?" Lu Li drank vigilantly.

"Master!" The leader of the Dark Guard spoke, then quickened his pace, and after meeting the two of them, said, "We have found the Jade Girl!" ”

Xiao Manden was in good spirits, she hurriedly got out of the man's arms, and said incoherently excitedly: "Where? Where is she? Are you alright? Where did you find her, is she okay now? ”

The dark guard hurriedly said: "Madame Hui, the Jade Girl is safe, just in the alley not far ahead. She came to the east to see the lanterns and got lost, and somehow walked into that alley, and she couldn't get out of the alley, so she couldn't go back to Zuixianlou. ”

It turns out that this is the case, as long as Jade is fine, Xiao Man breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense emotions were completely relaxed.

"Now that the person has been found, let's go back first." Lu Li said.

The Dark Guard replied, "Yes!" ”

It was already late at night, Xiao Man and Lu Li hurriedly returned to the house, as soon as they entered the door, Jade hurriedly greeted her, and before Xiao Man spoke, she knelt down with a puff, kept kowtowing and pleading, and cried as she spoke.

Xiao Man originally wanted to teach the other party a few words, but as soon as he said two words, he also shed tears, and the master and servant cried together.

Seeing this, Lu Lixian whispered to the secret guard and the other people who helped to find the jade to rest, and then, he reminded the two of them to go into the house first, and Xiao Man let go of the jade and went to the direction of the bedroom.

A warm charcoal basin had already been lit in the hall, and after Lu Li entered the house, he comforted Xiao Man a few words, and then turned around and went out to find Wangshu.

Xiao Man in the house pulled Jade to sit down next to the soft collapse, sighed first without saying anything, and said: "I wanted to scold you fiercely, so that you can teach you a long lesson, don't leave casually next time, but when I saw it... Hey, forget it. ”

"It's the jade that is not good, so that Mrs. is so worried and sad." Jade raised her hand to wipe away her tears with her sleeve, bit her lip, and lowered her head slightly, "It's all Jade's fault, I will never leave Mrs. casually next time, and I will never be playful again." ”

At that time, Jade, who couldn't get out of that alley, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and she also shouted for help, but the street outside was very noisy at that time, and no one heard her cry for help.

Later, the chill hit, and the long screaming made her throat hurt, so Jade had to take a break and huddle in the corner of the alley.

At that time, Jade was desperate, scolded herself thousands of times in her heart, and at the same time began to miss Xiaoman, Pearl, and Shangjing, she thought that she was going to die in that dark and headless alley, and she would never be able to see her former friends again, and she would not be able to return to Shangjing.

Listening to Jade talk about these encounters, Xiao Man was very distressed, and he was willing to reprimand the other party.

Looking at Xiao Man's tearful eyes and red eyes, Jade didn't want the other party to worry about herself, so she took the initiative to smile and said, "But fortunately, I came back safely, and I saw my wife again, and I can sit here warmly." ”

"How did they find you?" Xiao Man asked curiously, "Didn't you almost fall asleep in the alley?" How did they find you, or did you hear the movement and call for help? ”

Speaking of this, Jade blushed for no reason, and twisted up, and didn't say anything to answer Xiaoman's question for a long time.

Seeing this, Xiao Man became more and more curious, and asked, "What's wrong?" Jade, tell me, who saved you at that time, and how did you get rescued? That's your savior."

She had already thought about it, even if Jade was not rich in hand and couldn't thank the other party, she also wanted those silver coins to reward that person, after all, Jade can be safely done in this person now, and that person is indispensable.

Jade twisted and pinched, and even blushed her cheeks, and squirmed for a long time before muttering: "It's Xiao Qi." ”

Xiaoman didn't react, and subconsciously said, "Huh? "Yes.

But soon, Xiao Man, who had reacted, laughed again, and then leaned closer, looked sideways at Jade who was almost burying his head in the ground, and said with a smile: "What the hell happened at that time, how did Xiao Qi find you, Jade, just tell me." ”

If she remembers correctly, back in the suburbs, because she and Pearl often went into the city, the greenhouse could only be taken care of by Jade and Xiao Qi.

After such a long time, what is the relationship between the two, Xiao Man has no impression, but vaguely remembers that the two often quarrel and twitter very annoyingly, she also asked Xiao Qi not to bully Jade at that time, but she didn't expect the two to ......

"Madam, I'm back anyway, so don't ask about these things." Jade has a flushed face, and she has always been outspoken, but she is like a mosquito at this time.

Seeing this, Xiao Man became more and more curious, she simply got up from the soft collapse, squatted directly in front of Jade, and asked in a low voice: "Jade, now there are just the two of us in the house, don't you want to tell me?" When will Xiao Qi come to the door to propose, do you still want to hide it from me? ”

As soon as the four words were spoken, Jade couldn't help covering her face with her hands, "Madam, what are you talking about!" ”
