The sky had just dawned, the ancient village was still immersed in silence, the owl had just fallen asleep, and everything seemed to be peaceful.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps from the Gudong Bridge, and the voice was still a woman, she seemed to be very anxious, she was running towards Shangguan Yunyun's house.

Qin Lingxuan and others were still dreaming, but Xiuxiu got up early, she glanced at Jin'er on the pillow, and found that she was still asleep, so she tiptoed out of bed, for fear of waking her up, and then came to the kitchen, and began to be busy with breakfast, today's breakfast can be described as rich, there are freshly ground soybean milk, freshly milked goat's milk, peanuts fried with sugar, carefully boiled eight-treasure porridge, delicious xiaolongbao, and a plate of Qin Lingxuan's favorite red stewed greens, in fact, this dish Xiuxiu doesn't know how to do, I learned the recipe from my grandmother, so I specially prepared it for him today, and she didn't know if it was to his taste.

Shangguan Yunyun didn't sleep deeply, maybe because he was old, he naturally didn't have much sleep, he could sleep three hours a day, which was enough to withstand eight hours of young people, because the quality of sleep was saturated, and he couldn't fall asleep anymore.

Since Xiuxiu got up, her heart also followed Xiuxiu out of bed, for Xiuxiu, a well-behaved and clever girl, she couldn't say the joy in her heart, if it wasn't for the restrictions on conditions, she really wanted Qin Lingxuan to marry Xiuxiu, thinking of this, she turned over on the loose bamboo bed, tears hung in the corners of her eyes, and she couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart: Qin Lingxuan is really ill-fated, why did God choose him? Why not let yourself bear all this in his place?

"Knock knock!" There was a hectic knock on the door, and standing outside the door was a simple peasant woman, about forty-five or sixteen, who knocked lightly on the door of Shangguan Yunyun's house with her right hand, looking flustered.

The skin on her face had been tanned from working in the sun all year round, and only the white teeth were spitting out.

"It's coming! Don't knock again," Xiuxiu replied softly, because the kitchen was relatively close to the door, so she was not worried about waking them up, but she was afraid that people outside the door kept knocking, so they would be woken up from their sleep.

The peasant woman stopped knocking at the door, and tried her best to stand up with her bent back, maintaining an upright posture and an extremely respectful attitude.

With a "squeak", Xiuxiu took the door latch open and stood in a corner of the wooden door.

"Miss Xiuxiu!" The peasant woman raised her hand to speak, but the panic in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

"Oh, it's Aunt Zhao!" Xiuxiu looked at the person standing in front of the door, who was Zhao Laoniu's wife.

"Anthracene!" Aunt Zhao looked at Xiuxiu, full of help.

"Come on in!" Xiuxiu stretched out her right hand and made a gesture to invite guests, and after Aunt Zhao thanked her, she approached the house with heavy steps.

"It's early in the morning, what are you doing?" Xiuxiu asked politely, although she was respected in the ancient village and her position was also very high, she was polite to every villager and did not have any arrogance.

"Is Shangguan Daxian here?" Aunt Zhao looked around anxiously, looking for Shangguan Yunyun's figure.

Shangguan Daxian is the title of Shangguan Yunyun by all the people in the ancient village and ten miles and eight townships, this is a heartfelt honorific title for her, just because she has yin and yang eyes, and has never made a mistake in the handling of white affairs, and has enthusiastically helped them solve a lot of supernatural events, and does not charge for payment, and occasionally helps them see a disease, and uses the herbs planted in their backyard to heal, so over time, she has been deified, as if the gods have descended to earth, and they have regarded her as a "guardian saint" to protect the peace of this land, To protect their personal safety, they also know to be grateful, and when they usually come to their homes, they will bring some small gifts to visit, such as local eggs, newly picked vegetables and fruits, etc.

Although most of the villagers are barbaric, on weekdays, there are indispensable verbal battles in the village, but for Shangguan Yunyun, everyone gives a thumbs up, and no one will talk about her shortcomings behind her back and expose her bottom.

"Master, her old man is still resting, just tell me if you have something, and I'll pass it on to her!" Xiuxiu didn't want to disturb Shangguan Yunyun because of this, now she can be on her own, so most of the time, she is dealing with the affairs in the village, it is too strange and weird, she can't deal with it, and then ask Shangguan Yunyun to come forward, however, such a situation has never happened, so she is full of confidence.

"But, this ......" Aunt Zhao stumbled, brushing the sweat-soaked hair on her forehead with her calloused old hand.

"Aren't you worried about me? Aunt Zhao," Xiuxiu asked, just to give her the courage to tell the truth and deal with it better.

"Miss Xiuxiu, I didn't mean that, but this thing is strange, and I don't know how to tell you for a while." Aunt Zhao apologized again and again, she didn't despise Xiuxiu, but the matter was too complicated, it was best to ask Shangguan Yunyun to go out directly, for fear that if there was a slight delay, it would be too late to regret it.

"Tell me about the situation first!" Xiuxiu could see her anxiety and uneasiness on her face.

"My Zhao Daniu is gone!" Aunt Zhao's voice suddenly said hoarsely, and her eyes were rolling with tears.

"What's going on? You speak slowly! Xiuxiu brought a bench and motioned for her to sit down and calmly explain the situation.

"At three o'clock this morning, I woke up and found that he was gone!" Aunt Zhao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the corner of her coat full of yellow mud.

She then explained the reason to Xiuxiu, although Zhao Daniu is five big and three thick, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, but he is very sincere and filial, not to say goodbye without saying a word, that is, he usually goes to the market to buy vegetables, and he also has to say hello to her, so he can go out with confidence, and he is obedient at home, and he has never let her worry about it, but now he suddenly disappeared, and she couldn't help but be caught off guard, and she didn't know what to do.

She also searched everywhere in the house, but still did not find Zhao Daniu's figure, because she thought that he might go to the field to do farm work again, so she specially went to her own crop field to see, but after searching the entire crop field, she still did not find his footprints.

Returning home, she searched around the front and back of the house, and when there was no progress, she was surprised to find that the banana tree in front of the door actually withered, withered without any warning, and even the branches were sucked dry by something, shriveled, you know, the fruit of this banana tree only ridied yesterday, I wanted to pick some and send it to Shangguan Yunyun, but I didn't expect it to wither so much today, she couldn't understand why, but I always felt that the withering of the banana tree and the disappearance of Zhao Daniu had any connection, the more I thought about it, the more panicked, In desperation, she came to knock on the door.

"The plantain tree withered?" Xiuxiu muttered, this phenomenon is indeed extremely weird, it is impossible for the living banana tree to wither overnight, even if it is artificially destroyed, it will not reach the level of this "destruction", so it is definitely not a natural phenomenon.

"Anthracene, so please ask Miss Xiuxiu to help call Shangguan Daxian and beg her to save my son!" Aunt Zhao said as she spoke, tears flowed out.

"Master is still sleeping, this ......" Xiuxiu knew that human life was at stake, but Shangguan Yunyun had only been asleep for a long time, in the past few days, in order to wait for Qin Lingxuan's arrival, she hadn't slept well, and now she finally fell asleep, it was not good to disturb her, in fact, she didn't know that Shangguan Yunyun had actually woken up.

"Please," Aunt Zhao bounced up from the stool, "plopped", knelt on the ground, kept buttoning her head, and begged Xiuxiu to help her.

"Get up first!" Xiuxiu hurriedly stretched out her hand to pull her up, but she didn't want to get up, she kept sobbing and begging, and her head hit the concrete floor over and over again, all of which were red and swollen.

Xiuxiu looked at this moving scene, and couldn't help but feel pity, pity the hearts of parents all over the world, she agreed to Aunt Zhao, and decided to ask Shangguan Yunyun to come forward to solve this matter and help her find Zhao Daniu.

"Thank you, thank you!" Aunt Zhao stopped crying and thanked her again and again, but she still didn't get up, and still knelt on the ground.

As soon as Xiuxiu came to Shangguan Yunyun's door, there was a sound inside: "Xiuxiu, I'll change my clothes and come!" ”

"Master, Xiuxiu is waiting for you at the door!"

After a while, Shangguan Yunyun put on neat and simple clothes, opened the door and walked out, Xiuxiu stepped forward to support her, and slowly walked towards the lobby.

"People are old, when they wake up at night, the blood is not smooth, and the bones of the body are not flexible!" Shangguan Yunyun laughed at herself.

"Master, you are not old, don't worry, when you can't walk, Xiuxiu is your crutch, and when you can't get out of bed, Xiuxiu will carry you on your back to see the outside world!" Xiuxiu held the hand she was holding tighter, how extravagant she hoped that Shangguan Yunyun would always be "young", was it when she was no longer young, whether Shangguan Yunyun would not grow old, if so, she was willing to exchange her longevity.

After a while, Shangguan Yunyun came to Aunt Zhao and said softly: "Get up, don't keep kneeling, it's cold on the ground, don't leave your old cold legs!" ”

"Shangguan Daxian, thank you, please help me," Aunt Zhao concisely said about Zhao Daniu's disappearance, Xiuxiu added on the side, she attached great importance to this sudden and bizarre thing, so she couldn't miss a single detail.

After Shangguan Yunyun heard this, there was no change in the expression on his face, and he blinked his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

Aunt Zhao wanted to speak, but was stopped by Xiuxiu, she knew that when Shangguan Yunyun had this expression, she was thinking about things, analyzing and judging Zhao Daniu's disappearance, and at this time, she couldn't disturb her.

"It's not good, it's not good!" Shangguan Yunyun suddenly screamed badly, and her fingers were constantly pinching.

"Shangguan Daxian, what's wrong?" After Aunt Zhao heard her words, her heart jumped to her throat, she had never seen Shangguan Yunyun's expression.

"Master, are you saying there is something wrong with that plantain tree?" Xiuxiu's heart was also full of questions, and she continued to ask, "Is it evil?" ”

"I'm afraid it's more than a simple evil ......" Shangguan Yunyun sat on the bench and began to sigh.

"What now? Please, show me the way! Aunt Zhao bowed respectfully, her face full of pity.

"Go live!" Shangguan Yunyun immediately made a decision, stood up, moved his muscles, and walked straight towards the door......

Xiuxiu knew the seriousness of the matter and followed closely, and Aunt Zhao also followed......
