Chapter 473: Looking for the "Child"
He Mai dodged away and pouted to look at him, "We men and women don't kiss, I'll just come by myself." ”
Zhang Kuo smiled and asked her, "Have you eaten enough?" ”
"Seven points full," He Mai wiped his mouth, "you have to eat less, otherwise the child in the belly will be left with no land." ”
Zhang Kuo smiled, "Yes, yes...... Then you eat less, don't squeeze the child into your belly. ”
Zhang Kuo gave the money for the meal, and went out of the restaurant with He Mai.
On both sides of the road were leafless mangrove trees, whose branches were clearly cast on the ground under the clear light of the moon, and the shadows of the trees were even more luxuriant.
Walking all the way ahead, I didn't take a few steps to a siu mai shop, which also sells oil cakes and buns, which is also about to close at this time, and they are all sold at a discount.
He Mai stopped and looked at the bun for a while, then turned his head to look at Zhang Kuo, "This bun doesn't seem to be very tasty." ”
Zhang Kuo glanced at the roasted wheat shop, lowered his voice and said, "Naturally, it's not as delicious as what you make, don't say such things in front of other people's stalls, it's not good to be heard, go." ”
He dragged He Mai's sleeve and walked away from the roasted wheat shop, and when he saw that He Mai was still looking back at him in three steps, he asked, "Do you want to eat?" ”
"It's not." He Mai shook his head, "I saw the roasted wheat shop and thought it was very familiar." ”
Zhang Kuo's heart was shocked, "Very familiar? ”
"Yes." He Mai replied earnestly, "Very familiar with ......"
Zhang Kuo pursed his lips, remembering the time when he was in the street division in the past, thinking of the diligent little Qianying that he could see every morning when he was on duty, and the buns and porridge that must be delivered every day, and suddenly he missed that time.
"I don't know if you still have the skills to cook." Zhang Kuo looked at her with a smile, "In the past, you just opened a steamed bun shop, steamed buns, porridge, and what you made were extremely delicious." ”
"No wonder!" He Mai nodded frequently after listening, "I said that I looked at the boss counting the money inside, why is it so familiar!" ”
Zhang Kuomeng coughed twice, "Ahem, you ......"
"What are those people up front looking at? Let's go, let's take a look! ”
He Mai looked ahead and ran over first.
Zhang Kuo followed closely behind her to the notice board surrounded by a group of people in front.
"Is this a missing person notice?" He Mai looked at the notice posted in front of the list, a little curious.
Zhang Kuo was not interested in these bustles, and shook his head indifferently, "We are not from here, can it be that you can still know each other?" Let's go, let's go ahead and go back to the inn......"
Xu Jiang ...... This person was in a coma in front of the county government a few days ago, was picked up, and sent to the hospital...... Non-Donglin household registration, the situation is urgent, I hope the people will rush to tell their companions, and quickly bring them back to the ......" He Mai read at a glance.
"Xu, Xu Jiang!?" Zhang Kuo's eyes widened, and the next moment his eyes looked at the notice on the list in shock.
The man's appearance depicted on the paper is not Xu Jiang!
Although Zhang Kuo has never met Xu Jiang a few times, Xu Jiang's reputation has long been like thunder before.
Xu Jiang, a miracle doctor, is also the black-hearted Xu in the mouths of several people in Xiaoqing Village, how could he suddenly appear in Mangrove Town now?
Zhang Kuo almost immediately thought that Xu Jiang's appearance was related to Hemai.
He looked at He Mai with an ignorant expression with a complicated expression, pulled her away from the crowd, and said in a low voice: "Xu Jiang, I used to be your friend, and I have a very good relationship with you. Don't you remember anything? ”
He Mai was surprised: "It's such a coincidence, does it have anything to do with me?" ”
She then shook her head, "I don't remember, I don't even remember the name." ”
Zhang Kuo groaned: "Seeing the notice on this list, he should have had an accident, and now he is in the county office of this town, it stands to reason that we should go to him, but ......"
He had an inexplicable premonition in his heart that this matter was not so simple.
"Then let's go and find it, since we know each other, let's go with him to find my husband!" He Mai said.
Zhang Kuo looked at her and said, "Do you remember what Xiao Er of the Fang Cai restaurant said?" The county government here is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, and the county order here is a big black heart, how can such an insatiable government that does not benefit the people pay attention to a Da Zhou people from other places? A notice has also been posted here...... It's weird. ”
He Mai felt that what Xiao Er said was different from the notice in front of him.
"They are insatiable with their greed, and they can't stand idly by when they see people fainting in the streets. This notice has been posted, so many people are watching, what are you afraid of? The government doesn't know that we will know Xu Jiang, isn't it! ”
Zhang Kuo was dumbfounded, what He Mai said was not without some truth, but he still felt in his heart that it was quite a risky move to go to the county order of Mangrove Town to pick up Xu Jiang.
Could it really be that he is suspicious?
After asking passers-by and doing about a stick of incense, the two came to Tianyuan Street and saw the county government not far away.
At this time, it was already late, and He Mai saw that there was not even half of the official on duty in front of the county yamen, so he wondered whether to go back to the inn first and come back early tomorrow.
Zhang Kuo looked around and said, "There should be a guard in front of the door, I'll go and inquire, you wait here." ”
He Mai waited under the tree, saw Zhang Kuo in front of the county yamen, knocked on the door, and after a long time, the door creaked open.
The probe inside showed an impatient head and asked Zhang Kuo what was the matter.
Zhang Kuo pretended to be anxious and said: "This official, our husband and wife from Mijia Town, a family of three came here to play, just had a dinner, but the three-year-old child is gone, bothering the official, can you send someone to help us find it?" ”
When the official heard this, he didn't see pity at all, but spat on Zhang Kuo, "It's a big man who can't even look at the child, and he still looks for someone to help the yamen with his face, you opened the yamen?!" , who has nothing to do to help you with this errand! ”
As he spoke, he was about to close the door, but Zhang Kuo hurriedly stretched out his hand to block it, "The official is pitiful!" We outsiders are not familiar with the place here, and we are not the only ones who can ask for help! Lord Prefectural Order! The prefectural magistrate helped me!! ”
"Hey, what are you shouting? Shut up!! The servant pushed Zhang Kuo angrily, and the man followed.
"Zhang Kuo!" Seeing this, He Mai hurriedly ran over and asked the officer, "Why are you beating people?!" ”
The official sneered, "You have the kung fu to waste time in the yamen, why don't you spend money to find a few helpers to find the child!" The yamen is not obliged to help you find the child, so stay where it is cool! ”
"You ......" Zhang Kuo's face was angry, as if he was trembling with anger, "Eat imperial food for officials, but don't do welfare for the people, you, you ......"
The official glanced at him contemptuously, "Get out, get out of here!" ”
