Chapter 20: Disappearance

Jiang Jue fainted again after saying three words, and Mr. Xu hurriedly said that he could take a few pairs of drugs to invigorate blood circulation and dispel blood stasis, and he ran away after confiscating the consultation money.

After selling the meat, Lin Xu Ao went to Yang Langzhong's pharmacy, told Jiang Jie's injury, grabbed the medicine and came back.

"There's no movement in the city, is there?" Qingyun asked while talking to him.

He looked out worriedly, and whispered, "I think find a place to hide that person, the city is full of officers and soldiers, saying that a gang of thieves has been found in the nearby mountains, and they are going around to arrest suspicious people." ”

Qingyun was stunned, in this winter, where is it appropriate to hide people?

"There's a stone cave on the east mountain, I'll send someone over tonight, what do you think, girl?"

"Isn't that right? Maybe there is a wild beast in the cave, what if you eat him again? It's so cold, what if you freeze to death? ”

Lin Xu Ao ate and smiled, "No, there are only wolves in Yuxian, wolves can't go up in that place, and the stone cave is in a sheltered place, which is very warm." I brought him some food every day while he was chopping wood, and when he recovered from his injuries, I asked him to leave quickly. ”

That's all it takes, Qingyun nodded in agreement.

Doubao, who was sitting on the side playing, suddenly pointed at Lin Xu and babbled something, Qingyun smiled and comforted him, "Uncle Lin can't hug him." ”

"He told me to hug him?" Lin Xuao asked in astonishment.

He has been in this house for more than two months, and most of the time he just glances at Doubao from a distance, like today when he suddenly let himself hug it for the first time.

Doubao was unhappy and began to play a little temper, seeing tears rolling on his fleshy little face, Lin Xuao said in a panic, "It's okay, I'll hug it, don't let the little master cry." ”

Doubao understood what he was saying, he stretched out his little hand and looked at Lin Xuao pitifully, his heart was inexplicably sour, and he picked up the fat Doubao who was more than twenty pounds.

Doubao's humming gradually disappeared, lying on Lin Xuao's shoulder, his little hands around his neck, looking very intimate.

Qingyun was very embarrassed, she couldn't figure out why Doubao suddenly treated Lin Xuao like this, just like a coquettish child who was reluctant to let his father go out, and Lin Xuao was embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

"Okay Doubao, Uncle Lin still has something to do, hurry up."

Two red clouds flew up on Lin Xuao's handsome face, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he laughed twice, "Sister, I'll go out first." ”

Soon in the evening, during the meal, Doubao wanted to sit on Lin Xuao's lap and let him feed himself, but he was light and angry, and it was not good to yell at him loudly, so he had to rely on his temperament, Lin Xuao clumsily fed him a bowl of chicken cakes, and the kid grinned and enjoyed for a long time.

After eating, it was decided to send people to the cave in Dongshan, Qingyun filled some water and food, took two quilts, and after a few instructions, he took advantage of the night to send the two out.

"Miss, my heart is flustered, nothing will happen, right?"

Looking at the two people who had turned into small black dots and disappeared into the dark night, Qingyun's face tightened, and he didn't answer Ziling's words.

Her heart was also very flustered, maybe it was Doubao's abnormal behavior that made her cranky, it would be fine, only Mr. Xu in the village knew that Lin Xu Ao had saved someone, and when it was dawn, he sent him two pig's trotters and told him not to go out quietly.

"Lock the door and go back to sleep."

As soon as the sky was bright, Qingyun was sleeping in a daze, and was suddenly woken up by Ziling.

She said in a panic, "Miss, Brother Lin didn't come back. ”

"What?" Qingyun got up, put on his clothes and went to the west wing.

The room was clean and tidy, not messy, and the bedding on the kang was neatly folded, and it was never opened at all.

"Maybe we'll chop some firewood and come back, just wait."

At the beginning of the hour, there was still no trace of Lin Xuao.

"Miss, if you don't leave, you won't be able to catch up with the carriage in the city."

This time is usually the time when Lin Xu Ao went to the city to sell, and he hasn't come back until now, so it is estimated that there is more luck than luck.

"You take a good look at Doubao at home, I'll come back after selling the sauce meat, don't stew meat today, let's rest for two days."

Qingyun struggled to pick up the burden and rush to the entrance of the village, she hadn't taken a ride for a long time, and the car owner, Uncle Li, saw her coming, so he hurriedly stepped forward to take a hand.

"Song family lady, where are your hired workers? Why did you come out with a burden? ”

"He's sick." Qingyun smiled obscurely, and after waiting for a long time, she took a ride alone.

"Why hasn't anyone come into town?"

Uncle Li smiled helplessly, "In the past few days, there has been chaos in the city, coupled with the cold, and I don't want to go out." ”

At the gate of the city, Uncle Li took the car very well, and said apologetically to Qingyun, "Song family lady, you can only get off here, the carriage has to collect tolls when it enters the city, although it is not much, but I can't afford a small business, so please take care of it more." ”

Song Qingyun looked at the gate of the city suspiciously, but there were not more officials in official uniforms, who strictly interrogated people who entered and left the city, and even acted rudely and spoke viciously to each other.

Setting a time to go back, Qingyun hurriedly followed the crowd into the city, and sure enough, as she imagined, the officers and soldiers who were interrogated took two shiny pig's trotters to let her enter the city.

This made her even more worried, could it be that there was something wrong with the people Lin Xuao rescued?

Go to the shop to put the goods in place, and soon someone will come to the door to buy something.

The sauce beef she made, the sauce pig's trotters taste good, the price is also fair, and a group of old customers have already been retained.

Everyone who came, Qingyun told them that they were going to be closed for a few days, and everyone could understand it, after all, people in the city were panicking now.

After selling all the goods in the afternoon, Qingyun took advantage of the time to hurriedly go to the house in West Hutong, carefully inspected it, and found that there was no trace of being patronized by thieves.

Back in the village, she quietly went to Mr. Xu's house, gave him two pig's trotters, and brought some pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, euphemistically indicating that he did not tell that the family had saved a strange man.

Xu Laoxiu patted his chest and promised that he had never revealed anything to anyone, and Qingyun returned home exhausted.

As soon as she pushed the door, Ziling ran over crying, "Miss, Brother Lin hasn't come back yet, will something happen?" ”

Qingyun's mind was blank under the "boom", how to say that they have lived together for two or three months, even a puppy has feelings.

After she fed Doubao, she kissed the child on the cheek and handed it to Ziling.

"I'll go to Dongshan to have a look, you keep your home."

"Miss, it's going to be dark." Zi Ling said anxiously.

"I'll definitely be back before dark, you take care of Doubao."

Changed into light clothes, pinned a woodcutter to his waist, and ran towards Dongshan quickly.

Half an hour later, she finally found the cave that Lin Xuao said, which was located halfway up the mountain.

She finally climbed up and found that the food and luggage she had prepared by herself were placed at the entrance of the cave, and there was not even a figure in the cave.
