Chapter 212: Dried Bloodstains
"We also thought about moving out, and I heard from a few dolls that there was a Mrs. Jiang in the capital who opened a mercy and grace hall, saying that the elderly and children could go to live there, and there was a special person to take care of them. ”
"But it's a pity that a few dolls haven't seen this Mrs. Jiang, and we don't bother to toss anymore, so we just live here. ”
Hearing this, Si Juan was a little surprised, a few dolls went to look for her but didn't see her, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be.
If they went to Jiangfu, it would be impossible for the guards of Jiangfu not to say it, and it would be impossible not to know if they went to the Hall of Mercy and Grace.
Si Juan suppressed the doubts in his heart and said: "I am the lady Jiang, this can be regarded as fate, if the four mothers-in-law are willing to go to the Hall of Mercy and Grace, I will immediately send someone to pick you up." ”
The four old men, their cloudy eyes widened subconsciously, and they all didn't believe that the person in front of them was actually the legendary Mrs. Jiang.
Then Si Juan told them all the questions about the Ci'en Hall one by one, and the mother-in-law had no intention of going to the Ci'en Hall again, but when Si Juan talked about the problem of the four children, they had nothing to say, so they agreed to Si Juan to go to the capital with him.
The four children jumped up and down with joy when they knew they were going to live in the capital, and one of the children came over to hug Si Juan, but accidentally stepped on the portrait placed next to the dirt table.
When the portrait fell to the ground, it was opened, and the child hurriedly lowered his head to pick up the portrait, but exclaimed, "It's this sister!"
Si Wan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Do you know her?!"
"Yes, when we were at the entrance of the capital before, she gave us food. ”
"Yes, yes, I also remember this sister, I remember that she was secretly crying at that time!"
"Where did you see her, when did you see her?!" Si Wan grabbed one of the children by the shoulder as soon as he was excited, and the child almost cried.
Only then did Si Juan realize that he was too excited, and hurriedly let go of the child, a little overwhelmed.
Nan Gongjin saw that Si Juan's current state was not suitable for asking a few children, so he changed positions with her.
"Let me ask. Nan Gongjin said.
Si Wan nodded and sat aside obediently.
And the four old men could see Si Juan's anxiety, and they didn't say anything, just poured water for her, and said, "Mrs. Jiang, you drink water, don't mind, these four children were brought up by us since they were children, and they don't understand the rules!"
"If you four know something, tell Master Jiang, do you hear?"
"Yes, Grandma. The four children said in unison.
"Are these four children your grandsons, but what about your sons, daughters-in-law, or daughters?" Si Wan saw that he had nothing to do, so he asked.
"We don't have any sons and daughters, these four children were picked up by us, and we originally wanted to help them find their biological parents, but unfortunately they never found them, so we can only keep these old things. ”
"What about your husband?"
The four old men smiled happily and said, "We don't have husbands either, and we have never been married, because according to the rules of our village, village girls can only marry people from the same village. ”
"Unfortunately, decades ago, the village was ransacked, so all the men died, and none of us married. ”
Si Juan was taken aback, and became curious about the experience of these four mothers-in-law, knowing that women who were not married in ancient times were not happy.
On the other side, Nan Gongjin slowed down his tone and pulled several children in front of him.
"You said you had seen the sister in this portrait, can you tell me her name, and if she answers correctly, I'll give you a candy." ”
As he spoke, Nan Gongjin took out a small bag from his pocket, and the small bag contained a little sugar.
The children's eyes lit up instantly, and they scrambled to answer.
Nan Gongjin motioned for them to be quiet first, and then said, "If you are scrambling to answer or rushing to answer, there will be no sugar to eat." ”
After hearing this, several children immediately behaved.
"I know this, this sister is called Sister Asu. ”
That's right. With that, Nan Gongjin took out a piece of candy and gave it to him.
"Second question, where have you seen this sister?"
"It's an opening in the capital, where there are a lot of caravans, and we usually go there to beg. Usually the bosses of the caravans will give us money for good luck. ”
"The caravan ......" Nan Gongjin muttered, took out a piece of candy and gave it to the child, and then said, "Go on." ”
"This sister is very nice, she also wiped our faces, gave us money, sugar and water, and after hearing that we had four grandmothers at home, she went to buy meat for us to bring back. ”
"But it didn't take long for this sister to follow a caravan and say that it was back to Wancheng, and we followed along the way, and we separated after a long time, and we haven't seen it since. ”
Seeing that he had finished asking, Nan Gongjin gave them all the sugar in his hand and looked at Si Juan.
It happened that Si Juan also looked at him and said, "Ah Su followed a caravan, I remember that she came with a caravan when she came, will it be ......?"
"I remember...... There are not many caravans from Wancheng, only the caravan that has been looted recently, and now the people of this caravan are still detained in the official mansion, I heard that something has been found. ”
"I remember you said that this caravan was lost and someone is looking for it, isn't it, what is it like?!" Si Wan became anxious, she felt that she seemed to be only one step away from finding Ah Su.
Nan Gongjin patted Si Wan's back to calm her down, "Don't worry, I'm not responsible for this matter, so I don't know much, so we can rush back to the capital now to ask." ”
"Okay, let's go back!" Saying that, Si Juan couldn't wait to leave, but remembered that there were still four old men, so he turned to the two guards and said, "You just stay here, I will arrange someone to pick them up later, you remember to pack their things for them." ”
"Understood. ”
After that, Si Juan and Nan Gongjin hurried back to the capital.
Because this was also a case, it was inconvenient for Si Juan to follow, so he had to return to Jiangfu and wait for news from Nan Gongjin.
As a result, Nan Gongjin's news did not wait for him to come back, and what he waited for was the group of guards who went to the bottom of the cliff to search for Asu.
Seeing that they hadn't brought anything back, Si Juan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Madame, we have searched all the way under the cliff, but we have found nothing, only a set of dried bloodstains, like the blood of the last month. ”
