Ah Yan glanced at the post house again, he didn't think about asking for a daughter-in-law now, he didn't want to ask the shopkeeper to be a daughter-in-law, he just wanted to protect her.

After a few breaths, Ah Chao Xiaojie left for a while, and Qiao Erjing and Zhou came to the door of the post house at this time to see Xiao Qing.

When the little guy went in to report, Xiao Qing was accompanying Zhao Zhuoxiang to bow, and the two were kicking in the spacious room, Xiao Qing was responsible for guarding, and Zhao Zhuoxiang was responsible for kicking.

Zhao Zhuoxiang was playing around, and when he heard that the people from the old Qiao family came to Xiao Qing again, he immediately became angry and scolded.

"Didn't see that I was busy, let them go, don't spoil my interest!"

Xiao Qing knew that Qiao Erjing and the Zhou family would not come to her for no reason, something must have happened, but seeing that Zhao Zhuoxiang was in full swing, she couldn't say that she wanted to go out at this time, so she had to stand aside, and when he was tired, she would go out and ask about the situation.

After the little guy was scolded, he came to the door of the post house and told Qiao Erjing and the Zhou family that the county king and the Xiao family were busy.

At this time, Ah Chaoxiao came back and saw that the two of them hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "You are looking for the shopkeeper?" ”

"Brother Aran? Why are you here? Qiao Erjing asked in surprise.

Ah Chao said: "What? Do you have something to do with the shopkeeper? ”

Zhou hurriedly said: "Brother Ah Chao yesterday evening, my sister Yu and Brother Cheng went to Yaoshan to pick dogwood, and they haven't come back yet, I searched around Yaoshan and didn't find it, I was afraid that something would happen to them, so I hurried to find my mother and asked them if they had come to find her!" ”

Yesterday afternoon, Zhou took his family back to Yaoshan Village, Qiao Yu and Qiao Chengcheng went into Yaoshan to pick dogwoods together, thinking that they could help the family save more money.

Before Shen Shi went, he could come back in the evening, yesterday Shen Shi went, and he hasn't come back yet, they have looked for a few roads on the mountain and have not been found, Zhou didn't sleep all night, and he came to the county seat before dawn to look for it, Qiao Erjing and Qin searched all over the county, and they didn't see it, there was no way, the two could only run to find their mother for help.

Ah Yan asked: "Sister Yu and Brother Cheng have gone to the places they often go to?" ”

Zhou's eyes were blue, and he didn't sleep well at first glance, his eyes were full of tears, his face was full of sorrow, and he replied hoarsely: "I found it, I searched it all, and the people in the village helped to find it, and several neighboring villages went door to door, but they didn't see them. ”

Ah Yan asked the messenger at the door again: "Does the shopkeeper know about this?" ”

"The king of the county is on the rise, it's not good to disturb at this time, Shopkeeper Xiao doesn't dare to say anything!" It's hard to be a little girl.

Seeing Zhou's tears falling down, and seeing that Qiao Erjing was in a hurry, he said to a few catchers around him: "I'll help find someone, if Li Zhuai asks Master Shi, he will say that I went to find the missing person." ”

A few catchers at the door responded quickly.

Ah Lan left with Qiao Erjing and Zhou.

The two returned to Yaoshan under the leadership of Ah Chao, and Ah Chan asked the two to take him to the place where Qiao Yu and Qiao Cheng usually went to pick dogwood on the mountain.

When Ah Lan stood in front of a dogwood tree, he didn't leave, his eyes were fixed on the dogwood fruit that had fallen on the ground, and after a moment, he looked up at the dogwood fruit of the dry tree beside him, a few dry branches, only a few moldy dogwoods, and a few branches were broken by external force and drooped on the main trunk.

A chaotic observation for a while, and then to the four times a few times, he is too familiar with the Yao Mountain, from the outside, the red and bright dogwood fruit in the middle of the mountain adds a bit of vitality to the desolate Yao Mountain, but the inside of Yao Mountain is not like the outside, the inside is strange and rugged, the mountain spring into a canal, the miasma is pervasive, the mountain is full of living creatures are extremely dangerous, there is no real road, there are often snakes, insects and poisonous ants in the grass, but the strange thing is that these poisons will not appear on the hillside, one is that the villagers under the mountain often go up the mountain to hunt, the hillside is dangerous, and the other is that the hillside is dry and there is no water, Living creatures live by the water, and do not wander the hillsides.

Without his leadership, it would be difficult for outsiders to get out of Yaoshan alive, Qiao Yu and Qiao Cheng knew these dangers, and they would definitely not go into the deep mountains.

Since they have searched everywhere in Yao Mountain, Qiao Yu and Qiao Cheng are not on Yao Mountain, so they can only go down the mountain.

"Zhou, Erjing, do you two know how many roads there are to go down to Yao Mountain from this position?" Ah asked indiscriminately.

Zhou said: "I know that there are several, in addition to the one we came up, there are two, one is to Fangjia Village, go to our right-hand side, and the other is to Xiangxi Village, go to the left-hand side, and wait until you go down next to a winter jujube tree." ”

"Okay, let's go down in three ways, but on the way, we must carefully see if there are any dogwoods scattered in the hay on the side of the road!" Ah Yan said seriously.

Qiao Erjing said: "This mountain is full of dogwoods, and the villagers next to it go up the mountain every day, and it should be normal to drop some dogwoods on the mountain road!" ”

Ah Lan said indifferently: "It is normal to fall on the road, but there are very few hay on the side of the road, if there is hay along the road, you will wait for me at the pass of Yaoshan Village at the foot of the mountain!" ”

Zhou and Qiao Er said goodbye, and the two of them looked for them separately from the other two roads, and Ah Lan followed their way up the mountain to find it.

He had a bad premonition in his heart, Qiao Yu and Qiao Cheng might not have gone down the mountain by themselves, but they were taken down the mountain, and if they were taken captive, it would be difficult to do.

An hour later, Ah Ran waited for Zhou and Qiao Erjing at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing that Ah Chao was waiting, the two trotted to the two of them.

"Brother Ah Chao, I looked for it, there is no dogwood fruit on the road to Xiangxi Village!" Qiao Erjing said.

Zhou said: "There is on the way to Fangjia Village!" All the way to the foot of the mountain, to the village of Fangjia Village, I didn't follow later, so I hurried back to tell you. ”

Fangjia Village?

Ah Chao lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, and when he looked up again, he had an idea.

"You two go back, Zhou, don't leave at home, in case Qiao Yu and Qiao Cheng come back, you find Ma to go to the county first and report to the yamen!" Ah chaotic distribution of things.

Zhou nodded hurriedly in response.

"Erjing, you go back to the county, go to the door of the post house, and continue to tell your mother about this! Be sure to let her know! Ah Chao guessed: "In case Qiao Yu and Qiao Cheng don't come back, this matter is likely to be directed at your mother, let her know as soon as possible, and prepare early, otherwise she will be passive later." ”

Qiao Erjing nodded and asked, "Brother Ah Chao, then do you want to go back to the county seat with me?" ”

Ah Chao said: "I'm not going back to the county seat, I'm going to Fangjia Village to find Qiao Yu and Qiao Cheng!" ”

"Are they in Fangjia Village?" Qiao Erjing asked worriedly.

Ah Yan shook his head: "I don't know, I'll go find out!" ”

The three of them didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and as soon as Ah Chao's voice fell, the three of them began to move separately.

Ah Lan walked briskly to Fangjia Village, and according to Zhou's words, at the intersection of the mountain, he followed the scattered dogwoods to find it.
