As the sun set, Chen Xi returned to the village with a hoe.

His face was a little dull.

He didn't talk much, and with such a look, the people in the same village didn't dare to talk to him when they saw him.

And the reason why he became like this is just that Cheng Niang really didn't go to the mountains to bring him food.

In the past, he said that he didn't have to go, Cheng Niang took it upon himself to bring food to see him, and he remembered that Cheng Niang was still dressed very well that day.

Why didn't she really go today when he said he didn't need to deliver food......

Back at home, Chen Ci still looked depressed.

He hesitated for a while and didn't enter the house, thinking about how to talk to Cheng Niang about this matter for a while.

Straight to the point?

It seems that he is too contradictory!

After all, he didn't let Cheng Niang deliver the meal this morning, and then changed his words to let her send it down, which seemed to be doing things upside down.

But if you ask tactfully, it won't seem like you're not atmospheric enough.

At that time, not only did she not eat the food cooked by Cheng Niang, but she was also labeled as a grinding and chirping label in her heart. It's more than worth the loss.

At this moment, Fang He walked over from his door with a basin of clothes.

"Huh? Brother Chen, why don't you go in? ”

What are you doing on your doorstep?

Counting ants?

Chen Ci was stunned, "It's nothing, I'll go back." ”

He thought that Fang He would leave after saying this, but he didn't think that Fang He was standing in place.

Staring –

She was like a god sent to tease him, looking at Chen Ci, but she didn't move.

Chen Xi: "?? ”

Fang He: Staring-

What is he standing for?

Not going home yet?

Even if he was as calm as Chen Xi, he was faintly embarrassed by this simple gaze.

Chen Ci lowered his head and coughed, and pushed open the courtyard door and returned home.

Fang He looked confused, wondering, how could it be the same as going to the guest's house.

It's too restrictive, isn't it?

Chen.

Chen Xi lowered his head and put the hoe away, and said as usual: "Cheng Niang, I'm back." ”

But no one answered.

Chen Xi was stunned, what's going on?

Asleep in the house?

"Cheng Niang!"

He tried to knock on Su Cheng's door a few times, but after waiting for a while, there was still no response.

Chen Ci frowned, "Cheng Niang, I'm in." ”

He pushed open the door and looked at it, but it was empty, and there was no one at all.

A few dazed flashes flashed in Chen Ci's eyes, where did he go?

He walked around the house again, and even looked at the surrounding vegetable patches, but still didn't find Su Cheng.

Chen Xi felt that something was wrong.

Usually, at this time, Cheng Niang has already taken care of the housework and cooked food and waited for them, but today there is no one everywhere. She usually informs herself about something or where she goes, but she doesn't have today.

It's weird.

Chen Xi turned around and came to Zhao's house to find Fang He, and said, "Sister-in-law, have you seen Cheng Niang today?" ”

Fang He said: "I see." Today she went to the back mountain and said that she was going to dig bamboo shoots. I also pointed her to a good piece of land. ”

Fang He didn't know what was going on, and he was happy: "I heard that Cheng Niang's cooking is very fragrant, you have a good mouth at night." ”

Chen Xi's brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Cheng Niang is gone." ”

Fang He's face changed: "She hasn't come back yet?" ”

Chen Ci shook his head, "I don't know if I didn't come back at all, or if I went somewhere else after I came back, I can't find anyone anyway." ”

Fang He said nervously: "I shouldn't get lost in the mountains!" ”

Chen Xi was stunned, "Lost? ”

Fang He said: "I told her today that the bamboo shoots in Shanbei are more crisp and tender, but that forest is deep, and people who haven't walked a few times are easy to make mistakes." I got lost once when I first got married. ”

She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed after she finished speaking.

blamed himself for only telling her where there were good bamboo shoots, but he forgot that the bamboo forest was too deep.

Cheng Niang, a person who has just been married for a long time, I'm afraid that Shanbei hasn't been to much, and it's too normal to get lost.

I should have gone with him at that time!

Fang He hurriedly put down the work in his hand, "I'll accompany you to the mountains to find it first!" ”

It's going to be dark, and the road will be even more difficult to walk after a while.

Cheng Niang must be very scared to stay alone in the mountains.

Chen Ci was silent, "I'd better go by myself, I'm familiar with that piece." ”

"Then I'm ......"

Fang He was full of apologies, always feeling that he didn't want to help do something.

Chen Ci also saw it, so he said, "It's time for Yuanren to get out of school in a while, and when we're not there, my sister-in-law will help me take him." ”

Fang He immediately nodded, "No problem." ”

She also has children herself, and she is most comfortable with this kind of thing.

"Then it's going to trouble my sister-in-law."

Chen Xi didn't say anything more, went home and got a woodcutter, and quickly went to the mountains.

By the time he reached the north of the mountain, it was already twilight.

Chen Xi's face became darker and darker.

The road in the north of the mountain is not easy to walk, did the little girl stumble and fall somewhere?

Walking some distance further, Chen Xi quickly found the bamboo basket on the ground.

The things of the Chen family, he made up by himself.

Chen Xi's face became even darker.

The thing is still there, but the person is gone, it can't be as simple as getting lost.

A feeling of anxiety quietly came to his heart, and the more he couldn't see Cheng Niang, the more panicked he became. You'll have to find her before the end of the night.

Fortunately, Chen Xi quickly found traces of someone being dragged on the ground.

He followed the trail deeper into the woods, his lips pursed together.

It's not that she's lost, but that someone has caught her......

But these traces soon disappeared as well.

But at the same time, the footprints on the ground became deeper.

Chen Xi's eyes lit up.

This trace is like someone holding her legs and carrying her up.

But what he saw next made Chen Xi's pupils shrink. Not far ahead, on the bamboo leaves on the ground, he saw traces of blood.

Chen Xi strode towards the bloodstains.

There was a lot of blood on the ground, and a large number of blood beads fell on the ground, and the red color was obvious in the bamboo forest.

She's hurt?

Is it because of too fierce resistance that those people poisoned her?!

As soon as this idea popped up, Chen Xi couldn't erase it even if he wanted to.

His heart suddenly beat wildly, and even his breathing was much shorter.

Chen Xi hurriedly traced the blood stains on the ground, the light in the mountain became darker and darker, and his footsteps became more and more anxious.

Although there are people in the village who have had a holiday with her, they are not to the point of fighting with her.

With so much blood, ordinary people may not be able to do it.

The only possibility he could think of was the broker who had appeared at home that day!

If she was really targeted and abducted by those two traffickers, Cheng Niang might have no room for resistance.

It's also to blame him, just because he hasn't seen those two people in the village again during this time, he let down his guard.

If he hadn't worked alone in the fields today, the two traffickers wouldn't have found a chance to do it.

She went out in the morning, and after such a long time, she didn't know if she could get someone back.

But no matter what the outcome was, he had to give it a try.
