Chapter 20: Confusing

The aborigines of Xiliu Village, Zhou Yan was only familiar with the voices of two people. One is the old village chief in front of him, and the other is Wang Gui.

Needless to say, the person who has not seen it must have heard it first.

Wang Gui's image is consistent, and after appearing in front of everyone's eyes with a lost soul, he immediately recognized Li Xian, and knelt down in front of him without saying a word.

Then he wiped his tears and said sadly: "My lord, you must save my treasure!" You must save my baby! ”

He had used this trick too many times, and everyone was no longer surprised, and even had a sense of absurdity.

It can be seen that the story of the wolf is worth promoting in every world.

Li Xian had a bad impression of him, worrying about the safety of his son beyond reproach, but if he disregarded the lives of other people's children and daughters because of this, no matter how he thought about it, it would be cold-blooded to make people feel cold.

But personal perception is on the one hand, as a local parent official, Li County will never affect the handling of the case because of his own preferences, he raised his hand and signaled: "Wang Gui, you get up and speak slowly." ”

It's just that he has a weird feeling, as if his dialogue with Wang Gui is only this one sentence over and over again.

Wang Gui is such a middle-aged man,

"I'm Bao'er, my Bao'er......" He choked up, unable to cry, snot and tears flowed down together.

Finally, he twitched his nose vigorously and finished his words with a wail: "My Bao'er is gone again!" ”

After speaking, he covered his face with his rough hands and wept bitterly.

"What?" Li Xian and Zhou Yan's faces changed at the same time.

At this juncture, the loss of a boy is never a good sign!

The disappearance of the boy is easily linked to the biggest event of the moment, the "living sacrifice".

But you must know that they have just told the villagers that they have kept the demon out of the river bank tonight.

The original intention was to let them know that the government had the ability to protect them, but in the blink of an eye, such an accident happened, how could they explain it.

Sure enough, the villagers, who had been gradually moved by them, already showed a look of suspicion.

Even the old village chief was thinking about it.

"How could it not be?" Li Xian's face was pale, and his voice sank to the point of oozing a chill.

Wang Gui put down his hands covering his face, then raised and wiped his face, wiped his tears and snot together, and whimpered: "We will close the door after returning home according to the instructions of the adults, and we will not dare to go out a single step." ”

Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"In the evening, after dinner, our family went to bed." Wang Gui said, sorrow came from it, and tears flowed silently.

"In other words, before going to bed, your Bao'er is still there?" Li County confirmed.

"Yes! The boy washed his feet. Wang Gui twitched his nose again and nodded.

"When did you find something missing?" Li County immediately asked eagerly.

"It wasn't long ago!" Wang Gui's sad voice was still the same, "I had the same dream as last night, and I didn't feel at ease after waking up, so I went to see Bao'er." ”

"I found him, people, no, see!" In the last few words, he cried and shouted a word, and after finishing speaking, he slammed the ground and cried to the ground.

Even if they have more opinions on Wang Gui, Zhou Yan and others have to admit that this father's love is really great.

"Your Excellency, you say! Did the Dragon King get angry and take away our family treasure? Wang Gui was now in an extremely unstable mood, kneeling to Li Xian's lap, tugging on his trouser leg, and asked in a desperate tone.

"Wang Gui, there is no dragon king in this matter." Li Xian sighed, the matter has come to this, and it is not good for him to reprimand the other party for disturbing the morale of the army.

"Zhou Zhukuai and I have found the evil man behind the scenes tonight, and we fought with him by the river, and Zhou Zhukuai even almost died." He explained softly.

"What do you mean by that your lordship, my Bao'er has been taken captive by evil people?" Zhou Yan clearly saw that Wang Gui's face changed slightly.

"That's exactly what I couldn't figure out." Li Xian's hand touched down his beard, and his eyebrows were squeezed into the word "Sichuan".

After the demon retreated from the river, he and Zhou Yan stayed by the river for a long time, if the other party made a comeback, there was no reason to hide it from his ears and eyes.

Could it be that the other party made a time difference, and took advantage of the time when the two of them returned to the Dragon King Temple to run away and kidnap the son of Wang Gui's family.

Thinking of this, his expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly shouted: "Quick, everyone go home and see if their children are still there!" ”

When the villagers heard this, they were in an uproar, and they didn't doubt the authenticity of Li Xian and Zhou Yan's words at this time.

It all started with the living sacrifice, which demanded a pair of virgins and a boy, and now a boy was lost, but only a boy?

Maybe there's more! At least the wicked man needs a girl!

At that moment, the villagers couldn't care about confronting Zhou Yan anymore, and they were busy returning to their homes, wanting to make sure that their hearts were safe and sound.

After everyone dispersed, in front of the Dragon King Temple, only the county officials and the old village chief remained.

Because of Zhou Yan's wonderful performance earlier, Li Xian subconsciously wanted to hear his opinion, and was about to turn his head to ask, but saw that the other party's sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and he looked thoughtful.

"Zhou Yan, what do you think?" As a good leader, Li County knows how to listen to the opinions of his subordinates.

"Huh?" Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, everyone present was more experienced than himself, and the old village chief, a local sage, couldn't ask himself, right?

Unable to stand the eager gaze of his boss, he touched his chin and thought about it and said, "I think there is something strange about this." ”

"Strange? How so? Li Xian couldn't help but be relieved to see that he really didn't see the wrong person.

"We did intercept the shemale by the river...... Oh no, the demon. Zhou Yan said first.

"And after the demon was driven back by you, my lord, we stayed by the river for a long time, and we didn't see him return."

"And I don't think it's so coincidental that he can just pinch us back to kidnap people." Although the occasion was not suitable, Zhou Yan felt that it was still necessary to squeeze out some wise people's deep smiles.

"What do you mean......" Li asked at the right time.

"I'm not sure yet, let me sell it first." Zhou Yan smiled more mysteriously, "But we can focus on another more important thing first." ”

"More important?" Zhang Chong looked each other up and down as if he knew Zhou Yan for the first time.

This kid must have opened his mind after hitting his head, and now even Li County is a little dependent on him.

Why don't I go for it too? He couldn't help but think sourly.

"The first priority, of course, is to confirm that no children are still missing." Zhou Yan first glanced at Zhang Zhong with disgust, and then straightened his face.

As he spoke, he saluted the old village chief and said, "Village chief, please take us into the village, so that we can understand the situation as soon as possible." ”

"By the way, I still have some small things I want to ask, I hope you can give me advice."
