After Zhao Zhukuai was promoted to the new head catcher of Qinghe County, how to vigorously investigate and deal with the forces involved in the disappearance case in Qinghe County, and how Chen County Ling responded and acted after learning the clues that Liu Dakang and others had in his possession, all of which had little to do with the Jiang family.

Early the next morning.

After Daddy Jiang's night talk in the firewood room and the trial of the county yatang, he regained his ambition, took out the posture of the helmsman of the Jiang family, and was not afraid of rumors about the reopening.

And the two girls, one is exposed to their identities and is suspicious and suspicious and afraid to go out, and the other is faceless and shameless, and falls into self-loathing because of shame.

When the hourglass instructed to cross the early day, even Xiao An, who got up early and read in the morning, was helping to light the fire while reading, Yun Niang, who had been lying for half an hour, couldn't lie down anymore, and got up to join the busy crowd, but Jiang Han was still sleeping with his head covered.

Daddy Jiang was holding a vegetable skewer in his hand, and his complicated gaze, which was helpless and distressed, frequently glanced at the east chamber.

Yun Niang saw it and asked, "Uncle, are you going to wake up your sister?" ”

Father Jiang shook his head, sighed, and said, "No, let her sleep well and rest, she hurt her vitality after a day of pulling, if it weren't for the medicine and food that took the time to help Zhang Luo, I'm afraid it would ...... I made a small portion of the bone broth last night and simmered it on the stove, and I will cook some porridge for her later, and before we go out, just leave two more tofu buns. We'll be back in no time. ”

Yun Niang opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Uncle, can I not go to the stall today?" ”

“……”

"I, I'm afraid...... Yesterday I confessed my identity - and now there are rumors of my sister outside...... Our family is on the cusp, I'm afraid some idlers will run to our stall to have fun, if I go, I'm afraid someone will mention my identity...... I'd like to wait for this to subside a bit before I go to the stall...... Perhaps, no one will mention our identities again, and those men in black will get the news later......"

Father Jiang's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "You think about it reasonably, you sisters and brothers should avoid the limelight...... he looked at the skewers in his hand, and the second aunt Huatian who was busy by the well and in the kitchen, showed an apologetic smile, "Uncle is not thoughtful, he only thinks that business cannot be delayed, but he doesn't think about anything else." Today's things are ready, the stall must be out, starting tomorrow, we will close for a few more days. ”

"Uncle, the stall doesn't have to stop. There are pros and cons to rumors, maybe this is also a time, what if the people who come to our stall to watch the excitement can't help but sit down and eat a few skewers? We can't leave our business alone, but only you and the two aunts will greet you next, so let's prepare less materials and close the stall early. ”

"You're right, you're going to stay home during this time. However, should Xiao An also take a few days of sick leave? ”

"It shouldn't be necessary-Xiao An didn't go to the county office, and the classmates and masters in the school always thought that he was a relative of the king's shopkeeper's family, and he shouldn't be in danger for the time being."

"It's better to be careful, Xiao An is only ten years old, and he can't resist it in case ......of danger."

Xiao An just walked out of the kitchen, and when he heard the words, he subconsciously straightened his chest and said seriously: "Uncle, I will be very cautious!" In the morning, I took Duoduo to the school together, Duoduo is very smart, and when I enter the school, he can come back by himself. When I got out of school, I would walk with my classmates and try to walk as many places as possible, and even if those people in black appeared, they wouldn't dare to blatantly abduct me. ”

In their current situation, no one has no time to do better precautions, everyone must learn to protect themselves, even if Xiao An is not yet ten years old.

Father Jiang was very relieved, and told Xiao An some precautions, so he nodded and agreed.

……

Jiang Han had been sleeping in bed in a dazed state.

After Daddy Jiang and the others left, Yun Niang thought that her vitality was greatly damaged, and she didn't dare to disturb her, until it was time for lunch, she pushed the door in and called.

But after calling two or three times, I only heard her hum and did not wake up, thinking that she might still be very tired, so I left the food in her room, told a few words to eat and then go to sleep, and then went back to the room. How did she know that an hour later, when she went in to look again, the food on the table didn't move, and Yun Niang couldn't help but be anxious.

When Daddy Jiang came back from collecting the stall in the afternoon, she hurriedly asked Aunt Tian to invite Dr. Qiu over.

Doctor Qiu pricked the pulse a few times, and Jiang Han opened his eyes, but he only blinked before falling asleep in a daze.

"I was weak in the county before, but I have already used medicine, and I was fine yesterday, why is it like this today?" Daddy Jiang's eyes were staring at Dr. Qiu's movements, his hands on the crutches trembled slightly, and he regretted that he didn't invite Dr. Qiu when he got home yesterday, and he didn't know if he had accidentally eaten croton powder and left sequelae.

"Alas, there's nothing wrong with her body, I'm afraid that because of those gossip, this girl can't get over it in her heart." Doctor Qiu straightened up, looked at the drowsy Jiang Han with pity, turned around and walked to the table, took out a pen and paper to prescribe a prescription, "The old man prescribed a prescription to soothe the liver, regulate qi and strengthen the spleen and stomach for her for two days, but the girl has to figure it out by herself, otherwise it will be a symptom but not a cure." ”

Dr. Qiu left with the medicine box.

Father Jiang sat at the table with a sad brow, looked at Jiang Han on the bed for a while, and couldn't help but persuade: "Yueya, Dad knows that you can hear - that incident is an accident, don't take it to heart." Isn't it just a few words of being laughed at, and there will be no missing piece of meat, and you haven't been laughed at in the past, why can't you think about it now? Jiang Han suddenly turned over, he hurriedly walked to the side of the bed, patted her arm gently, and said gently, "As long as we have a clear conscience in the world, there is nothing out of the ordinary occasionally." If you can't bear this little thing, how can you open a restaurant and do big things in the future? ”

Jiang Han's eyes were closed and there was no response, but Daddy Jiang's voice was softer: "You don't know what to do next, Dad said, let's discuss it in the future - you are only a teenager, you have only started in your life, and there will be many unexpected difficulties in the future, let's not worry, take your time, ask if you don't understand, ask people who understand, see how others do it, think about it, step by step, one day you will know how to see how people do things." As the saying goes, if you live to learn all the time, your father will live to almost forty, and there is still a lot to learn. In the future, Dad will learn with you!"

He sighed again: "When you were a child, your mother died early, and I was too busy to take care of you......

It's a pity that after talking for an hour, Yun Niang came in with the medicine, but Jiang Han still didn't move.

The family had no choice but to force medicine into her mouth and pour soup and porridge, hoping that she would wake up as soon as possible.

At noon the next day, Yun Niang reluctantly poured a bowl of medicine into Jiang Han, but she was so tired that her hands and feet were weak and she was covered in sweat.

She sat on the edge of the bed to rest, looked at Jiang Han steadily, stopped talking, and said after a while: "Sister, you have always been the strongest, how can you be knocked down by some gossip?" Now that my identity has been exposed, I don't know when those people in black will come to take the lives of our brothers and sisters, you have always had an idea, wake up quickly and think of a way, but you can't leave this matter alone......" As she spoke, a wave of anger suddenly rose in her heart, and her voice became unkind, "Don't think that you can escape in this way, if it weren't for you, Xiao An and I would still be able to live a good life for a while with the identity of Zhu Chen Xie's family, but now we have to carry our hearts every day!" It's good for you to lie down on the bed and fall into a coma - since you have the courage to cause trouble, you must have the ability to solve it, what is going on with this? ”

Seeing that Jiang Han still didn't move, Yun Niang felt sad in her heart, "Wow! With a bang, he fell on her and cried bitterly, the cry shook the earth, and almost lifted the roof, as if he wanted to vent all the fear and confusion that had accumulated in his heart these days.

Yun Niang, who was tired of crying, left Jiang Han's house dejectedly, but Jiang Han in a drowsy state was still struggling in the black sweet country.

She could hear it.

At first, she was self-exiled, wanting to sleep to death, unwilling to wake up and face the reality that did not go her way. Later, I only felt that I was sleeping deeper and deeper, and my body seemed to be falling towards a black abyss. She tried to go up, but her legs seemed to be tied, and she couldn't get out. She wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids seemed to be glued, and she wanted to shout, but her voice seemed to be blocked. She sweated and regretted, but she couldn't get out of the maze, and finally she was so tired that she lost consciousness again.

……

"Ahh

With a loud roar, Jiang Hantan sat up, staring at the bed tent with wooden eyes, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.

"Whew!"

I'm finally completely sober.

It was quiet all around, no one heard the roar, and they broke in to see her.

She turned her sour neck and swallowed her saliva before she realized that the so-called yelling just now should have been just a weak cry - her throat was still a little dry at the moment.

She moved to the edge of the bed, put on her shoes and went to the ground, and suddenly her legs went black and weak, and she sat back on the bed.

It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later that she regained her strength, walked slowly to the wooden table, filled half a pot of cold water, and finally got better.

"Goo~"

As soon as the cold water entered his stomach, his stomach began to roar, Jiang Han only sat for a while, and he felt so hungry that he wanted to vomit, so he had to get up and open the door.

Stepping out of the room for the first time in two days, it was as if I had arrived in another world.

In the moonless night sky, the stars twinkled as if the black flannel cloth was decorated with diamonds, the night breeze caressed, like a mother's hand was so gentle that it made people restrict, and the cool air that was completely hot and dry kept penetrating into her heart.

She walked slowly to the kitchen door and reached for the key to open the door.

"Wow!"

The half-asleep dog by the firewood room heard the noise, stretched his neck and barked twice, and when he saw that it was her, he got up upside down, ran to her legs and circled around affectionately twice.

A touch of tenderness appeared in Jiang Han's eyes, and he squatted down to hold Duoduogou's head and looked directly at it.

Duoduo's eyes blinked, his head was crooked in Jiang Han's palm, his black eyes seemed to be confused, he looked as cute as he wanted, and Jiang Han's heart was about to melt. She smiled whimperly, and suddenly she didn't hate it anymore, but she couldn't help scratching its head so hard that it whined and protested, and her head broke free of her hand and ran away.

On the kitchen stove, the large bone broth used to adjust the skewer soup base was simmering, Jiang Han filled some flour, scooped half a scoop of bone broth, made a bowl of gnocchi for himself, and ate it beautifully.

After cleaning up and adding some firewood to the stove, she returned to the courtyard, and sat on the stone bench, staring at the sky. After two days of sleep, and the horrific struggle of her dreams, she never wanted to close her eyes at the moment.

He sat for almost an hour, and five drums were heard in the distance, and then the chickens next door also crowed, and after a while he seemed to hear the sound of people.

Jiang Han's mind that had just calmed down suddenly became nervous again. She stood up abruptly and wanted to go back to her room, but looked at the door but was very reluctant to go in again, so she simply opened the door and walked out.

It's not dawn yet, but it's not too dark before dawn in the summer.

Jiang Han walked out of the alley aimlessly, and saw two people from a distance, who were hurrying towards this side, and that figure, at a glance, knew that it was the two aunts of Huatian.

Jiang Han turned around a little panicked, walked out of the other side of the alley quickly, and walked in the direction of the back mountain......

By the time she climbed the big rock that had fallen with Lord Shen, the color of the horizon had become lighter.

It's not a tall place, but it has the best view from the mountainside. Standing on the stone and looking down, Luoxia Town was in full view, and a heroic aura suddenly filled his heart.

For the first time, Jiang Han looked at this place where he had lived for more than seven months.

The three rivers are interspersed, giving it the general tone of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, but the rows of green and yellow boxy houses, not the regular narrow or wide alleys, but less soft and more rough, forming the unique tough and fierce charm of the mountain people.

The town is wide in the south and north, and it is correct to say that the southwest house is wide in the northeast.

The overcrowded houses are in Xizhen, especially near the South City Gate and Qinghe, which is not only crowded but also dilapidated. The land is wide and the houses are beautiful, and sometimes there are large and small gardens, which is where the rich people of Dongzhen live.

After seeing the obvious difference between the residences in the east town and the west town, I vaguely saw the shop flags fluttering in front of the shops on both sides of the Qinghe Canal.

That's where she works.

Qinghe Canal is a dividing line, dividing the shops on the east and west sides into two grades, the east side of the street is wide and large, standing here, you can see the restaurant, tea shop and inn with a small courtyard; On the west side, the road is narrow and the shops are small, and the buildings are densely packed with no gaps, and occasionally there are a few small residential courtyards.

Then there is the place where it is surrounded by water on three sides, echoing with the east town and the west town from afar, which is the most iconic area of the entire Luoxia town - the riverside in the northwest is the Luoxia Wharf, and in the center is the inspection department that covers the widest area, the widest street in front of the door, and the most imposing house.

She didn't know how many acres the Inspection Division occupied, but it was at least the size of five modern standard stadiums, and that didn't include the vacant land behind it, which covered at least ten acres.

Looking back, skipping three or five streets and a small forest, it was the north town where the Jiang family was located.

There is her home there.

Jiang Han silently estimated the distance from her house to the Inspection Division, and found that the visual distance in a straight line was no more than one mile.

It turns out that the inspection department is so close!

This thought suddenly broke into Jiang Han's mind, she was slightly stunned, and a trace of sour and indistinguishable taste surged in her heart.

She slowly crouched down, crossed her legs, and stared ahead.

When the first rays of sunlight broke through the sky in the morning, Jiang Han found that his mind was blank, staring directly at the corner of the upturned roof of the main hall of the inspection department.
