17, eight evils and thirteen turns

In the morning, when she found out that Erdan was missing, Masako immediately cried. I looked everywhere, but there was none. Contemptuously worried. Looking at the messy discarded quilt on the bed, it seems that he was abducted in the middle of the night. Lu Li asked the soldiers guarding the door, but no one saw anyone come in, and he didn't see Erdan go out.

That's weird! Lu Li felt that there must be something wrong with the soldiers guarding the door! In the barracks in the back street, he found a room for the eight soldiers on the night shift, including Yinliang, and interrogated them strictly, but the eight men insisted on doing their duty while on duty. I really don't know how the second egg disappeared.

I couldn't ask why, so I had to let them go.

Although Sister-in-law Jiang also followed to look for it, her heart was pounding with fright. Later, he shrank into the kitchen and did not dare to come out. She knew that it must have been done by Yinliang and the unknown palace guards. Where are they going to get the second egg, is it killing? Oh, my God! If the second egg is really dead, he is an accomplice of the murderer, and he will never be able to live forever! Besides, contempt has miraculous powers. She should be able to figure it out! If she calculates it, she will be finished, and it will be impossible for Lu Li to marry her! Stupid, so stupid, how can you accept their silver medal and help them do it!

Sister-in-law Jiang didn't dare to see contempt, and it was not right to look at her with contempt. Contemptuously knew that the disappearance of the second egg must be related to going to Xu Cheng's house to deliver a letter. Thinking of what Erdan said, Sister-in-law Jiang appeared by the lake, and contemptuously drew her soul in her heart: Could it be that Sister-in-law Jiang told the secret? But why did she want to tell the truth? Is Sister-in-law Jiang really a spy planted by her side? They kidnapped Erdan, just to find out what Erdan did to Xu Cheng's house? But Erdan dived into Xu Cheng's house, and he is generally not discovered!

Thinking of the fog, the café with the lights on, the self and Yoshiko who were talking affectionately, the words that threatened to kill their parents, the contempt of his heart tightened. Was she too reckless and too sloppy? What does the life and death of the ancients have to do with her? Why do you want to uphold justice with great righteousness and awe-inspiring righteousness! Now, I can't even protect my second egg, I can't even protect my parents, aren't I fooling around!

Once again, Contempt felt that his mind was not working. She needs help! If Erdan is really killed for delivering a letter, he will be ashamed for the rest of his life!

Xie Jingliang was also very anxious when he heard that Erdan was missing. Help find for a while. King Xu sent someone to invite, but he had to go, and before getting into the car, he said to Contemptuous: "A little child, if you lose it, you will lose it, don't go to your heart." Now, you're getting closer and closer to the time to find the jade seal, and that's the big deal! When I was in Yingcheng, Jin Yan told me that he would do his best to help you and would never let you suffer. I believed him at the time. But now, who can tell what the hell this kid has in his heart? Contempt, look for him today and ask what is going on! ”

Contemptuously could only nod. She really couldn't figure out the golden inkstone. If everything was done by him, what was he going to do? Does he want to get rid of Xu Cheng, become the Great Sima himself, and control the military power?

Lu Li strode into the house, followed by two soldiers. Lu Li arched his hand: "My lord, our soldiers searched outside the city and found the cloth of Erdan's clothes on the hill!" Turning around: "Present to your lord!" ”

A soldier crossed his hands and brought up a piece of cloth with jagged gaps and obvious tooth marks on it. Lost his voice contemptuously: "Yes, it's on the clothes of the second egg!" Why, it looks like an animal has bitten you? ”

The soldier said, "It was bitten by a wolf." But we searched the surroundings and found nothing new. ”

"How could he be outside the city and allowed to go out of the city at night?"

"Not allowed."

"It's amazing! Let's go, let's see! ”

Accompanied by Masako, he sat in a carriage with a carriage. Masako's eyes were swollen from crying, and she clutched her sleeves with contempt for fear of losing her support. Lu Li rode a horse and led more than twenty soldiers on foot to the outside of the city. Looking contemptuously from the carriage, he saw that there were silver beams among the soldiers, and he couldn't help frowning.

When I came to the hill, I saw messy footprints under a tree, most of which were wolf paw prints. The piece of cloth that the soldiers found hung on the bottom branch of a tree. The soldiers searched the surroundings, and in the distance, apart from the wolf's paw prints, there were only one man's footprints, heading straight for the east side of the hill.

Lu Li squatted down to check for a long time, then got up and reported: "This is a pair of men's footprints, wearing cowhide shoes. Because the body is weight-bearing, it leaves a clearer footprint. ”

"Okay, just follow the footprints!"

The team walked five miles away, and on the southern slope of a hill, they found a village with more than a dozen houses called Shanyongzhuang. When a group of people entered the village, the people in the village came out and gathered around to watch the excitement. Lu Li dismounted and led two soldiers to visit house to house, and the people all pointed to a slightly larger courtyard in the village and said: "This is the medical worker Chenggu of my village, who often goes out to collect medicine." Ask him if he has seen the child. ”

Lu Li went to the front of the compound. Through the gap in the courtyard gate, it can be seen that the courtyard is quite large, and there is a carriage. The house is also tall, and there seems to be something burning behind the house, and it is smoky. It's just that no one.

Lu Li knocked on the door, knocked for a long time, and only then came out of the house an old man in his fifties, with white hair in a bun, a wide robe, and a pair of brown cowhide boots. He yawned and cried out, "Who disturbs my purity? ”

Lu Li said politely: "In Xia Xucheng, Sima Lu Li, I have seen Mr. Chenggu. ”

Naruya came over and pushed the courtyard door open. Lu Li saw that he had a yellow face, a pair of strange eyes, and a very impatient expression, so he arched his hand and said, "Excuse me, sir, have you seen a boy who was injured at the age of fourteen or fifteen?" ”

"No, no!" Chengya was even more impatient, "You guys go look elsewhere!" ”

"Mr. Xie Lu, Mr. Xie!"

Lu Li had to report to Contempt Ran, saying that there were no two eggs in Shanyongzhuang, and suggested that he continue to look for them in the east. Contemptuously agreed, and the group left the village and headed east. Chenggu has been shrinking at the gate of the courtyard to look out, and when he saw the team leaving the village, he smiled and ran towards the house happily.

There is a large vat in the corner of the wall in the west room, and when the vat is removed, there is a stone slab underneath. Remove the slabs, there are holes. Light a small oil lamp, hold it, go down the wooden stairs of the hole, there is a room at the bottom, there is a bed, and the second egg is lying on the bed, snorting and sleeping.

Chenggu put the oil lamp on a small stone platform next to the wall, went over and touched Erdan's forehead, overjoyed, and muttered to himself: "No more heat, good, good!" Then he lifted his clothes, and his body was scarred, and all those wounds were coated with yellow ointment, and they were all dry. Good also, good also! Chenggu covered the second egg with clothes, covered the quilt again, and repeated: "Okay, good!" ”

Subsequently, he picked up a leather rope with a scale on it. He used a leather rope to measure the width of Erdan's head, the length of his forehead, and the scale of his nose, mouth, and chin, and nodded again and again: "That's true, that's true!" ”

Erdan moved, woke up, and stared at Chenggu with wide eyes. Naruya was overjoyed, sat on the edge of the bed, and said, "Little doll, finally woke up?" ”

Erdan moved his mouth, his voice was hoarse, and he didn't speak. Chenggu hurriedly brought him a scoop of water, and he drank it with a clatter, and his throat was clearer, and he spoke.

"What is this place?"

Cheng Gu's eyebrows danced: "This is a blessed land, a paradise." Little doll, you have reached the sky in one step. ”

Erdan was at a loss, struggling to get up, but was held down by Chenggu.

"Little doll, I know who you are. Aren't you the second of Qin Wuran's subordinates, a pedestrian in the royal city? ”

"yes, I'm going back!"

"Little doll, don't be stupid! You are in a coma, and I have used the art of channeling to make you tell the truth. The pedestrians were contemptuous, claiming to be witches, and were invited by King Xu to come to the royal city to find the lost jade seal. And someone set up a set in advance, so that he could do it with contempt, saying that the jade seal was in the house of the great Sima Xu Cheng. Contemptuously, I can't bear to be humiliated by Da Sima, so I sent you to dive into the Xu Mansion and report the news. And you were kidnapped and forced to ask about it, but you didn't say a word, didn't you? ”

Erdan was shocked: "Ah, you know everything?" ”

Chenggu smiled proudly: "Look, Erdan, it's still immature, so I'll admit it." You are still young, why do you want to enter this dangerous place? From now on, stay with me. I lack a medicine boy, four big tripods behind the house, boiling medicine all day long, and I am lacking you as a boy. ”

"No, no!" Erdan sat up hard, his body hurt, and he couldn't help grinning. "I ......," he wanted to say to the master, and immediately felt that he couldn't be called that in front of outsiders, "Lord Contempt, wait for me to go back and report the news!" Mr. Narita, please, let me go! ”

Naruya sat on the edge of his bed and pressed him down again. Cheng Gu glared at a pair of strange eyes, and said viciously: "Erdan, you have to remember, don't call me Mr. Cheng Gu in the future, but should be called 'Eight Evil Thirteen Turns'!" ”

Erdan was pressed by him and couldn't move, and said in surprise: "What? 'Eight Evils and Thirteen Turns'? ”

"Yes, yes!"

"What do you mean by 'Eight Evils and Thirteen Turns'?"

"You don't have to ask, that's what you call it."

"Eight...... Ah! It's so mouthful. Sir, I'll call you Grandpa Eight, right? ”

"No! Am I that old? ”

Erdan wanted to say, "Of course you're old." But he felt that it was impolite to say this, so he said, "That's how I call my grandfather." ”

"No, you can only call me 'Eight Evils and Thirteen Turns'!"

The second egg is helpless. Chenggu fed him medicine again, but the medicine was very bitter, and the amount of water was still large, and he choked and coughed. He felt that this old man was really unreasonable and unreasonable. Look around, it's in a stone cave. What kind of place is this? If you don't let yourself go, Master Ran and her sister Masako will be in a hurry. Besides, this Chengya has so many secrets, and he must tell the master as soon as possible. Alas! Why are you so stupid, you will fall into his way! What is the method of channeling, and it will also take out what is in my heart? But what he just said was so accurate, it didn't seem to be fake. Perhaps, he was one of the kidnappers? I tried to lure me into telling the truth.

Erdan was vigilant.
