Chapter 422: The Clue Triggered by the Fence Gate
"That's going to leave a trail of that, too." Rokuro affirmed.
"Then let's look along the road, maybe we can find some clues!"
Rokuro readily agreed.
In addition to a pipeline built by the government, there are also two sheep intestine paths on this broken road from Xiaoqing Village to Qinglu Village.
The trail is covered with snow, and underneath the snow are slippery rocks of different shapes, making it difficult to get off your feet.
Fortunately, the two paths are not far away, and in the woods on both sides, the dead branches and old trees are lonely, and the scene is in full view.
After looking back and forth along the two paths twice, but there was no gain, He Mai set his sights on the official road.
Although the situation on both sides of the official road is similar to that of the small road, the situation around the official road cannot be seen at a glance.
When he was making a mistake how to quickly check both sides of the official road, Rokuro suddenly thought of a method: "Why don't you find Xiao Hei and Heiya?" Let them smell the scent of spring flowers or two children to find them, and there will definitely be clues! ”
"yes!" He Mai patted his head and suddenly realized.
The two rushed back home in a hurry, but as soon as they entered the door, they saw He Lin and Ma Er sitting in the courtyard of the Lin family in frustration, wailing and sighing one after another.
Brother, I thought of a way to find my sister-in-law......
He Mai's words did not fall, but he Lin said first: "When we went to look for your sister-in-law, we originally wanted to take Xiao Hei and Heiya to find it, but who ......knows."
He Lin actually thought of this method first?
He Mai didn't care about that much, and asked, "And then?" ”
"No clues!" He Lin said dejectedly.
How can there be no clues? He Mai was taken aback, "The noses of the two of them are better than anything else, even if the smell is faint, there should always be a trace, and they don't react much?" ”
He Lin's eyes turned to the right, as if he remembered something, and said, "I took Xiao Hei and Heiya out, and the two of them walked around the village." ”
He paused suddenly, "However, they always hang around Uncle Lu's house, and I don't know what's going on." ”
"Uncle Lu?" He Mai was surprised, and looked at Rokuro suspiciously, "How come?" ”
"Really!" He Lin swore an oath, "I don't believe you ask Ma Er!" ”
After getting a definite answer from Ma Er, He Mai and Liulang decided to go to Lu Changming's house.
Holding Xiao Hei and Hei Ya, He Mai turned out some of the other clothes of Chunhua and Xiao Hu, told them to smell them carefully, and then opened the door and let them out.
He Mai and Rokuro followed closely behind the black shadows like two arrows off the string, and when they saw the two of them go out of the door, they went straight to the west of the village, as if they had already set a goal.
And the last place where they stopped barking was also in front of the Lu family's door.
Hearing the inexplicable barking of the dog, Lu Changming came out of the back door with a wooden barrel, and saw the same inexplicable Hemai couple and his wife, a little strange, "Hemai, Liulang, why are you two here?" ”
"Uncle Lu?"
He Mai had a lot of doubts in his heart, but at this time he couldn't help asking: "Uncle Lu, have you seen my sister-in-law and Xiaohu recently?" ”
"Your sister-in-law and Xiaohu?" Lu Changming was surprised, and a trickle of swill fell from the wooden barrel he was carrying, and a puddle gathered at his feet.
Hearing the sound, the mountain grass girl who came out of the house was standing in front of the house with a needlework ball in her hand, and when she heard Hemai's words, she lowered her voice strangely and said, "What's wrong Hemai, is your sister-in-law having trouble with your brother?" ”
Some time ago, because of the appearance of Xiu'er, the relationship between He Lin and Chunhua was not as short as before, which is well known in Xiaoqing Village, and it is understandable that Shancao Niang said so.
can listen to the words of the mountain grass girl, and then look at Lu Changming's reaction, these two people don't look like they have seen Chunhua and Xiaohu at all.
He Mai had no choice but to say, "No! My sister-in-law and Xiaohu are at home, and when we go back, they will be gone, and we are looking for them! ”
The mountain grass girl made a fuss: "Huh! Why is it still missing? When did it disappear? Is there a report to the official? ”
"The government already knows." This sentence He Mai said in a particularly loud voice, "It disappeared yesterday." ”
The mountain grass girl put down the needlework in her hand and walked over worriedly, "Why is this happening?" Did you go to Chunhua's house to find it? ”
"I've looked for it, Aunt Lu, you haven't seen my sister-in-law and Xiaohu here, have you?" He Mai asked without giving up.
"I haven't seen it, I haven't seen it! If you've seen me, you'll have to pull the little tiger baby, it's rare, it's rare...... Hemai, if you don't ask your uncle to go with you to find it, multiple people have more strength, right? ”
"No, no, no......" He Mai hurriedly said, "Let's look for it in private, don't bother Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu......"
At this time, Xiao Hei, who was surrounded in front of the Lu family, sat in front of a fence under the leadership of Liulang.
The fence door seems to have been newly repaired, and the bamboo chips still have some fine burrs that can be seen by the naked eye.
Liulang suddenly asked, "Who has come to Uncle Lu's house these days?" ”
"No, I haven't even been here for five or six days, let alone outsiders."
Liulang's gaze fell on the newly repaired fence gate, and the expressions of Lu Changming and his wife who were watching changed slightly.
Lu Changming's expression hesitated, glanced at the mountain grass girl, and finally said hesitantly: "Yesterday at the end of the day, the unfilial son found some people to repair the fence gate at home. ”
He paused, and there was a touch of curiosity in his eyes, "Could this matter be related to the disappearance of Chunhua's niece and Xiaohuwa?" ”
He Mai was reminded by this sentence, and suddenly remembered something.
"Uncle Lu, let's go first!" He Mai quickly said goodbye to Lu Changming, and then returned to the house with Xiao Hei and Heiya, closed the door, and she took Liulang's hand and left quickly.
The goal is to go straight to Tiansong Mountain.
At the foot of Tiansong Mountain, He Mai saw that the ringing horses guarding the mountain had changed two when she went up the mountain last time, which happened to be the one she knew well.
The last time they were on Tiansong Mountain, Lu Changming and his wife and Shan Mu attracted the anger of a bandit, while Liulang Hemai and Xu Jiang made the bandits grateful and respectful.
The thieves guarding the mountain led the husband and wife up the mountain without notifying.
The mountain breeze that has not changed all year round blew on the cheeks of Hemai and Liulang, and when he saw the low cave that almost killed Shancao Niang and Mulan, Hemai couldn't help but ask the ringing horse who led the way: "How is the injury of the big boss?" ”
The thief talked with Hemai and his wife all the way, but when he talked about it, he was hesitant: "The injury of the big boss ......"
"How's it going?" Seeing him hesitate, He Mai couldn't help but ask.
"The big boss has always refused to treat his injuries, and she refused to apply the medicine sent by Xu Langzhong."
