Chapter Ninety-Two: The Disappeared Sister and Brother
"It's out."
After a night of waiting for opportunities, Tong Xiang and Chu Xiao finally ran out of Dr. Liu's house in the early morning.
This night, Tong Xiang and Chu Xiao were both standing on the beams of the house, and their legs were sore until now.
"Come on."
Just as Tong Xiang was beating his shoulder with a tired face, Chu Xiao suddenly squatted down in front of her.
Tong Xiang's face was full of astonishment, "What are you doing?" ”
Chu Xiao slowly raised his head, met Tong Xiang's gaze, and responded unhurriedly: "You have worked hard this night, I will carry you back." ”
Hearing Chu Xiao say this, Tong Xiang was actually a little embarrassed, he was standing at most this night, and Chu Xiao had to protect himself, not only his legs couldn't move, but his hands couldn't either.
Tong Xiang looked at Chu Xiao and smiled faintly, "It's okay, I can go by myself." ”
While speaking, Tong Xiang had already walked around Chu Xiao to the side.
Without waiting for Tong Xiang to react, Chu Xiao had already chased after her quickly, and carried her on his back without saying anything.
"It's just that I'm repaying the favor."
Tong Xiang was a little puzzled, his brows furrowed slightly, "What kind of kindness?" ”
"Didn't you carry me all the way when we first met? Even though I was unconscious at the time, I knew it. ”
Chu Xiao's expression was very serious, as if he was talking about something big.
Tong Xiang struggled and was about to jump down, "That's all about Chen sesame and rotten grain, how do you remember it." ”
To be honest, Tong Xiang didn't know what was going on at the beginning, obviously this person's life and death had nothing to do with her, but she was still reluctant to leave him.
Probably this is fate, in the events that followed, Chu Xiao did help himself a lot.
The strength in Chu Xiao's hand increased, "Even if a hundred years have passed, I will remember it, if I can, I want to carry you like this for the rest of my life." ”
Tong Xiang stopped moving when she heard this, she was slightly stunned at first, and then a smile appeared on her face.
She lowered her head and lay on Chu Xiao's shoulder, "Why does this sound like a personal promise?" ”
"It's not impossible to make a pledge if you want to."
Chu Xiao tilted his head slightly and replied solemnly.
Tong Xiang's face turned red all of a sudden, and she hurriedly turned her gaze to the side.
In fact, she asked this question just to tease Chu Xiao, and she didn't expect Chu Xiao to have such an answer.
She coughed twice in embarrassment, suppressed the restlessness in her heart, and replied calmly, "I was just joking, I don't want to trap you by my side because of this little thing." ”
When Chu Xiao heard this, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually became stiff.
He mustered up the courage to mention this matter today, just to see Tong Xiang's attitude, but he didn't expect it to be such a result.
He thought that they had already experienced so many things together, and Tong Xiang might have a little other feelings about him.
But now it seems that he is self-inflicted again.
Chu Xiao chuckled, and the footprints walked forward deeply and shallowly, "Miss Tong doesn't have to take my words to heart, I'm just joking." ”
After finishing speaking, Chu Xiao paused slightly, and continued to add: "I can't bear to tie Miss Tong to my side. ”
He had heard Tong Xiang's concept of marriage, Tong Xiang was a person who yearned for freedom, and how could he be a stumbling block on her way to finding happiness?
For the rest of the journey, neither of them spoke again, but everyone looked preoccupied.
Along the way, both of them are living like years.
When the inn finally appeared in their sight, Tong Xiang and Chu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Tong Xiang never thought that one day he would miss Jin Xinyuan so noisy by his side.
As soon as the two of them walked to the inn, Xiao Er greeted them, "You two just came back?" ”
Tong Xiang didn't speak, just nodded coldly.
Chu Xiao calmly pointed to the room upstairs, "Haven't the two girls and a son who came with us come down yet?" ”
Since Chu Xiao was carrying Tong Xiang on his back all the way, the time it took was not very short, and now the sun has completely risen.
Xiao Er shook his head, "I guess I haven't gotten up yet, I haven't seen them yet." ”
After finishing speaking, Xiao Er thought for a moment and added: "They had a supper last night, so they shouldn't be hungry, so breakfast didn't come down again." ”
Chu Xiao nodded after hearing this, "Then you can prepare a little breakfast and come over." ”
Just now, when he came back with Tong Xiang on his back, Chu Xiao heard Tong Xiang's stomach ringing softly.
I didn't have a rest all night, and I really should eat something to replenish my strength at this time.
Tong Xiang didn't refuse, and sat down next to Chu Xiao,
Although there was some embarrassment between the two of them on the road just now, under the catalysis of food, everything was digested.
After they were full of wine and food, the two of them went upstairs together and knocked on Jin Xinyuan's door.
Now that we know that Dr. Liu's death is for another reason, we must remind the people of the Liu family.
Among them, the only person the old woman would believe should be Jin Xinyuan.
Tong Xiang knocked twice, but there was no response at all from the door.
Tong Xiang and Chu Xiao glanced at each other, and their faces became nervous.
"Jin Xinyuan, it's time to get up."
Tong Xiang shouted loudly while banging on the door.
She didn't care what the people downstairs thought, and her voice was louder than loud.
It's just that, under such an offensive, there is still no response from the door.
If Jin Xinyuan hadn't woken up at the beginning, there would be no reason for these shouts.
Even if Jin Xinyuan wants to sleep again, he has to get up and deal with it at this time.
Tong Xiang glanced at Chu Xiao, and Chu Xiao immediately understood and kicked open Jin Xinyuan's door.
"No one."
After Chu Xiao walked into the room, his face became even more serious.
Tong Xiang immediately became nervous when he heard this, and hurriedly walked to Jin Xinyue's door, "Miss Xiaoyue, are you there?" ”
No matter how anxious Tong Xiang's tone was, there was no response in Jin Xinyue's room.
This time, Tong Xiang couldn't wait any longer, so he kicked in the door directly, but the room that responded to her was still empty.
Chu Xiao heard the voice here and hurriedly rushed over, "Isn't Miss Xiaoyue here too?" ”
Tong Xiang didn't answer, her eyes narrowed slightly, exuding a terrifying aura.
When they left yesterday, they were afraid that Tong Jin Xinyuan and they would be injured here, but they didn't expect that they were negligent in the end.
"Don't worry, let's go to Xiao Er first and ask about the situation."
Chu Xiao looked at Tong Xiang's angry appearance and hurriedly reassured.
Tong Xiang took a deep breath and tried her best to calm down, she followed Chu Xiao and went downstairs together.
Tong Xiang's voice could also be heard downstairs just now, but Xiao Er didn't know that Jin Xinyuan and they were gone, so his attitude was a little impatient.
"Why did the two of you come down again?"
Tong Xiang stared at the man coldly, and grabbed his collar, "Where are they now?" ”
Xiao Er had never seen Tong Xiang go crazy, and he was frightened at this moment.
"What do you mean, girl?"
Xiao Er looked at Tong Xiang with a panicked face, his neck shrunk together, and his voice began to tremble a little.
Chu Xiao did not stop Tong Xiang on the side, after all, under such an invitation, this store was the most suspicious.
They knew that Jin Xinyuan was rich, and it was not impossible to do something bad if he saw that he was rich.
Chu Xiao stared at Xiao Er coldly, "Have you ever seen the three people who walked with us?" ”
Xiao Er shook his head vigorously, his eyes were a little moist.
"Childe, I told you everything, I just saw them last night."
"What happened when you met last night?"
Tong Xiang didn't let go, and now when he heard him say this, he asked coldly.
Xiao Er didn't dare to look directly into Tong Xiang's eyes, he sniffed and calmed down his mood.
"Nothing happened last night, except that the boy ordered something to eat, and then the veiled girl told me to send them upstairs, and nothing else."
Tong Xiang's brows furrowed slightly, "No?" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, her hand became even harder.
After all, he has lived for so long, and from this little er's dodging gaze, Tong Xiang knew that this matter was not so simple.
Xiao Er sobbed twice, and then said tremblingly: "Yesterday, that girl also said that she divided the money into many parts, so that the son should not wronged himself because of lack of money. ”
After finishing speaking, Xiao Er's mind flashed with inspiration, and his emotions became excited.
"By the way, when they were downstairs last night, a boy who came to stay in the house went to talk to them, and they mentioned you."
As soon as he heard Xiao Er say this, Tong Xiang no longer embarrassed him, and the strength in his hand was a little smaller.
"Do you know what this boy's name is?"
Xiao Er thought for a moment and shook his head, "I didn't hear their conversation, but I heard the veiled girl call him Zhao Gongzi." ”
"Zhao Yiqing?" Tong Xiang and Chu Xiao said the name almost at the same time.
Xiao Er shook his head aggrievedly, "I don't know about this." ”
"Didn't you say he lives here? So what room is he in? ”
Tong Xiang carefully recalled Xiao Er's words just now and found a loophole.
Xiao Er sighed helplessly, "That boy left long before the two of you came back. ”
As if they were afraid that Tong Xiang and they wouldn't believe it, Xiao Er looked at the shopkeeper who was walking in this direction and blinked, "If you don't believe it, you can ask our boss, he was also there at the time." ”
Tong Xiang is convinced that the so-called Zhao Gongzi has left this house, after all, Xiao Er can't lie to him about this matter.
