"It should be soon. As soon as Nan Gongjin's words fell, there was a knock on the door.

"My lord, we found a small object on the edge of the cliff, and we thought it was suspicious, so we brought it back. The squire's voice rang out outside.

"Small objects?" Nan Gongjin frowned after hearing this, and then said, "Come in." ”

And Si Juan watched the guards walk in expectantly, even if it was just a small object, Si Juan was in a hurry, now the news about Ah Su can be said to be almost none, and now she is naturally anxious with a little news.

The guard walked in, then took out a silk scarf wrapped in it from his arms and handed it to Nan Gongjin.

Nan Gongjin took it and opened it to look at it, and then looked at Si Juan.

Si Juan felt that Nan Gongjin's expression was not very good, and his heart couldn't help but sink to the bottom, and said, "What is it?"

"It's just an earring, I remember that Ah Su never brought any earrings, it shouldn't be hers. With that, Nan Gongjin was about to hand the wrapped silk scarf back to the guards.

As a result, Si Juan directly reached out and grabbed it, opened the silk scarf, and took out the earrings inside, and instantly couldn't hold back her tears, "This earring was given to her by Ah Su before she left!

"Mrs. Hui picked it up on the edge of a cliff on the edge of the city, and it was a companion at the time, and someone saw Mrs. Hui give a pair of earrings to Miss Asu, and when she saw this fallen earring, she was a little familiar, so she felt that she could take it back. ”

"Quick... Quick, now immediately send someone to the edge of that cliff to find it, and don't let all the surrounding villages go!" Si Wan was so anxious that he cried, how could Ah Su's earrings be picked up on the edge of the cliff for no reason, even if Ah Su accidentally dropped it, how could it fall on the edge of the cliff.

Nan Gongjin gestured to the guard with his eyes, and Shiwei immediately understood, and hurriedly left the Jiang Mansion with the people and rushed to the cliff.

And Si Juan and Nan Gongjin followed closely, and when Si Juan went, the group of guards had already checked the entire cliff, small investment and suspicious places.

Si Wan was stunned, she sat on the rock on the edge of the cliff, looking blankly ahead.

"Drink some water. Nan Gongjin walked over with the kettle, unscrewed it and handed it to Si Juan.

Si Juan shook his head slowly, but did not take it.

"You haven't eaten anything in the morning, and you haven't eaten at noon now, how can you not drink some water?" Nan Gongjin said, then sat down next to Si Xuan and forcibly let her drink some water.

"Husband, where did you say Ah Su went, how could he not find it?" Si Juan spoke with some crying, and the appearance of his red eyes made Nan Gongjin feel pain.

Since knowing that Ah Su might be missing, Si Juan's eyes have never dried up, and he has been crying all the time, and Nan Gongjin can't comfort him even if he wants to.

Perhaps the best way to comfort now is to find Asu.

"My lord, we picked up a piece of cloth that looked like it had been torn off from a branch halfway up the cliff. A guard came up with a torn cloth.

Si Wan looked at the cloth a little familiar, so he walked over and took it, looking at it carefully.

Then, Si Juan's hands couldn't help but tremble, and the cry in her eyes became even stronger when she looked at Nan Gongjin.

"This is the clothes that Ah Su wore on the day he left, how could it be torn off, and a piece of cloth hung on a tree branch......?! But how could someone who was so careful fall off a cliff?"

Si Wan began to guess countless possibilities, and as she spoke, her shoulders began to tremble.

Nan Gongjin held Si Xuan's shoulders tightly, as if giving her a pillar, "Don't think nonsense, maybe it's just an ordinary cloth, now that Asu's whereabouts are unknown, let's not scare ourselves first." ”

"There are a couple of small villages nearby that we could go and ask. In this way, our soldiers will divide into two ways and send a team of people down the cliff to find Asu and see ...... If she did fall, there should be a corpse. We took a team of people to those villages and asked about it, and maybe we could find out something. ”

Si Juan's mind was blank now, she only felt justified when she listened to Nan Gongjin's words, so she nodded again and again, and couldn't wait to pull Nan Gongjin to investigate.

Nan Gongjin immediately arranged people, because he had to go into the village to investigate, so it was inconvenient to bring many people, Nan Gongjin just brought two more powerful guards, and followed him to the village in civilian clothes.

The others were arranged to go down the cliff to find clues and Asu's body.

The four of them came to the village, which was located in the middle of nowhere, and it was all mud-pasted houses, which were very simple, and gave Si Juan the feeling that as long as it rained, the house could turn into muddy water.

This village is said to be a village, but in fact there are only three households, and the total population of the three households is seven or eight people, four old people and three and a half old children, and the feeling to the four people is that they can't ask anything at all.

However, although Si Juan was eager to find Asu, but seeing that their days were sad, he felt pity in his heart and wanted to talk to them.

Although there were not many people, the four old men were extremely enthusiastic when they saw outsiders coming, and entertained them with boiled water.

Si Wan looked at the dust in the cup, but drank it anyway.

"This old lady, is there anything you have to do with us?"

"I just want to ask you about someone, I don't know if you've seen it. As he spoke, Nan Gongjin took out Asu's portrait and showed it to the four old men.

The four old men all shook their heads when they saw it, and said, "I've never seen it before." ”

In fact, when she got this answer, Si Juan's heart was not surprised, these four old people just now she looked at the problem of walking, not to mention what happened to the cliff a kilometer away, they would know.

"Mother-in-law, how long have you been living here?" asked Si Juan.

One of the mothers-in-law smiled and said, "We've been living here for almost 90 years, and we've been living here since we were children." ”

"Then why don't you move out, the house here is so poor, and it's in the middle of nowhere, what do you usually eat?"

"Relying on a few dolls to sell some handmade fabrics on the street to make money, life is hard, but I can make do with it. ”

Si Juan looked at the four children, all of them were skinny, with their chests against their backs, their faces were sallow, and they looked malnourished.

Si Juan sighed, thinking in her heart whether she wanted to say that the Mercy Hall she ran could take them to enjoy their old age, but she was afraid that they would think they would be a liar.

Si Wan was entangled in his heart, whether to try to help them first or how, and one of the old men spoke.
