Chapter 2: The Seventh Month of the First Month Disappeared

"Uncle Zhaonan, you're here!"

Linglong pounced on Zhao Nan, her expression was in a trance, her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was melancholy.

It had only been half a day since the telegram was sent, and she couldn't even bother to ask, how could Zhao Nan arrive here so quickly. From Shanghai to here, the train has to change to the waterway, and it will take at least two days.

Zhao Nan gently patted the girl's shoulder: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here, I will definitely find the seventh day of junior high school." ”

Linglong looked behind him: "Miss Ye didn't come?" ”

"Yes, she's got something to do, busy." Zhao Nan replied absent-mindedly.

Actually, here's the thing.

This morning, I received a telegram from Linglong, saying that the seventh day of the first month was missing, and when Zhao Nan hurried back to Weihan, he saw Ye Quanmei sitting at the counter, carrying gold bars and knocking on them.

"The seventh day of the first month is gone."

Zhao Nan said.

"Hmm." Ye Quan nodded, as if he hadn't heard anything, picked up a gold bar and said: "Borrow flowers to offer Buddha, Yao, this is for you, so you don't always say that I squeeze employees." ”

"The seventh day of the first month is missing! We're going to get to him. Zhao Nan accentuated his voice.

"Well, there you go." Ye Liang waved his hand, "It's rare for me to be generous once, if you don't want it, forget it." ”

How will Zhao Nan not! The splitter snatched the gold bar, and frowned slightly: "It's Xiao Wu's ......"

"What Xiao Wu, this is mine, hum, ten gold bars, he has a lot of appetite, he spit it out for me after eating it, and he has to vomit it twice, haha."

Ye Liang's smile trembled, and his face was full of schadenfreude: "You said, if he can't get the gold bars, will he go to borrow usury, bullshit is decent, a few gold bars can't be carried clearly, hum, the washbasin doesn't know the depth." ”

Zhao Nan sighed: "You really want to kill them all." ”

"What are you afraid of, he won't have to come to me obediently when the time comes." Ye Liang Man doesn't care.

Zhao Nan received a telegram in the morning, afraid of scaring Linglong, Zhao Nan suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and it was not easy to stay up until the afternoon by pretending to pack his luggage. I heard Ye Liang shouting downstairs: "Okay, your little beauty must be crying in a hurry, you really have the patience to survive until this time." Hurry up, I won't watch it. ”

Zhao Nan answered in the back room, and when Ye Liang got up, the back room was already empty, only the pier was left squatting on the table, and he saw Ye Liang coming over and squeaked a few times, and then turned around on the table a few times and wagged his big tail. Ye Liang patted its oily little head and said in a low voice, "That's how he walked?" Be careful, come back and know that you leaked your secret and ......" Ye Limit made a head-cutting gesture in Dunzi's ear, Dunzi jumped on Ye Limit's arm in fright, Ye Limit gently stroked its oily fur, Dunzi closed his eyes slightly, and his face showed a very enjoyable expression, so he heard Ye Limit say: "It's so warm, no wonder I used squirrel skin to make hand tubes in the past." Dunzi's eyes widened, and he spun around, and lowered his head, trying to find a hole to hide himself.

"What the hell is going on?"

Linglong led Zhaonan all the way into Zhuangzi, this is Linglong's manor in the countryside, the main house is a very quaint courtyard wooden house, after sitting down, Linglong asked someone to pour tea, Zhaonan pulled her.

"That's the case, the day before yesterday, the seventh day of the first month came back from the street and said that he seemed to see the little friends in the past, I also said at the time that he must have seen it wrong, Hucheng has to walk here for several days, how can the little friends of Hucheng come here alone." "Wait a minute, alone? Not with your family? ”

Zhao Nan asked.

"Yes, Chu Qi said that he was a friend who sold newspapers in the past, and he was an orphan and didn't hear him say that he had any relatives, so he must have come by himself. Chu Qi said that he followed the child for a while, and saw him enter an inn, Chu Qi followed in, but did not find the child, he said that he would look for it again the next day, and maybe he could meet it. ”

"So I went to look for him the next day, but I never came back?"

Zhao Nan's brows tightened, and he began to wonder if the seventh day of the first month fell into the hands of a human abductor or the enemy? If it is an enemy, I am afraid it has nothing to do with the seventh day of the first month, it is the enemy when it is not cold, and he deliberately took revenge by leaving his side on the seventh day of the first month.

"I said don't go at the time, maybe I was wrong, I didn't take it seriously at the time, uncle, the people in our town are very good, nothing has happened for many years, and that inn, I used to be very familiar with it, I didn't expect it to be like this, uncle, what should I do." Linglong's anxious tears fell.

Zhao Nan remembered what Ye Liang said at noon.

"Don't worry, the kid is still alive." The leaf limit is very certain.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, if the child dies, the ghost will definitely come to me to report, and if he hasn't come yet, isn't he not dead?" Ye Liang laughed lightly and continued, "That little beauty must be in a hurry, just waiting for her good uncle to save people, hurry up, delay for two more days, wait for that little ghost to come to report, but the cucumbers and vegetables are cold." ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Nan handed Linglong a handkerchief, and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, Chu Qi is still alive now, as long as he is alive, it's no big deal, let's go, take me to that inn to see." ”

Zhao Nan got up, and Linglong followed.

"Let's go wash your face and freshen up first."

Zhao Nan smiled gently: "Look at your eyes are red, like a little rabbit." ”

Linglong nodded, and went to her room to wash up with red eyes.

Zhao Nan slowly walked out of the house, walked around the yard with his hands behind his back, took a deep breath, and looked around.

This place is very clean and there is no ghost, which shows that it is not ghosts and ghosts that are eyeing the seventh day of the first month, but people.

Soon, Linglong washed her face, put on a little light makeup, changed into a hunting outfit and said, "Uncle Zhaonan, let's go." ”

The inn mentioned on the seventh day of the first month is called Kezhiruhome, which is the largest inn in the town. This town is not big, because it is located in the main road of the three provinces, there are many merchants, Zhaonan and Linglong walked in, and Xiao Er came in with a smile: "Mr. Miss is going to stay in the hotel?" At this time, the shopkeeper got up from the counter and said, "Miss, it's Miss, I'm Lao Qin." ”

It turns out that this inn is the property of Linglong's grandfather's family, and this shopkeeper is still a familiar old man.

"Uncle Qin, it's been a long time."

"Yes, I'm old, I've been guarding the store, and I don't know that the eldest lady is back." Lao Qin's gaze skimmed over Zhao Nan and nodded with praise. Zhao Nan was a little strange, and he didn't know what was going on with his kind eyes.

"Uncle Qin, I'm here to find someone, I have a child who came here the day before yesterday, and then disappeared."

The guy groaned, patted his head and said, "Oh, you are the young lady who came the day before yesterday, I told you all, that kid really hasn't come, you just don't believe it." ”

It turned out that he hadn't come back at dinner the day before the seventh day of the new year, and Linglong was worried and ran to the inn to find it, but Lao Qin was not in the store at that time, so he didn't know that there were still these things.

"Go, there's no place for you to speak." Lao Qin scolded, then pointed to the side and said, "The eldest lady will sit down first and tell me the specific situation, I don't know what happened yet." ”

Linglong explained the general situation, and her tone was very anxious: "That's it, Uncle Qin, Chu Qi said that when he saw the child enter here, he would come to look for it the next day." ”

The little second stood next to Uncle Qin and interjected: "There really aren't any children living here, don't believe me, I'll show you the registration book." ”
