Chapter 16: Xiao Ming's Spring (2)
In the evening, Xian Mi and Hu Xiao had searched all the shops and places in the town where they could hide people, but they still couldn't find any trace of Xiao Ming. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Seeing the sun set, the day is going to be night again, and the two of them are sitting on the side of the street out of breath, each other too tired to talk.
When Shangguan Yongsheng whistled past them for the tenth time, Xian Mi suddenly shouted, "That's right, Lao Hu. Let's go find the catchers. Those guys have a lot to do to protect the people of this town, and they won't leave anyone alone if someone goes missing. Moreover, they know the ins and outs of this incident better than we do. If Xiao Ming is not the only missing person, then Xiao Ming is very likely to be alive. Let's go to them and talk to them about what to do. ”
Hu Xiao glanced at her, tasteless: "It's the only way to do it now." Although I felt that my life had been shortened by a day if I wanted to see that little white face more, I had to do that in order to find Xiao Ming as soon as possible. ”
The two dragged their tired bodies towards the yamen. At this time, it was close to a whole day since Xiao Ming's disappearance, and Hu Xiao and Xianmi were already anxious.

More than a dozen miles away from the county seat, a horse-drawn carriage was speeding across the field. Seeing that it was getting late outside, the woman in the carriage lifted the curtain and looked around with some uneasiness, there was wilderness all around, there were few people, and there should be nothing wrong.
She smiled lightly at the person driving the carriage and said, "Childe, my house is about to arrive." My parents died when I was a child, and I lived with my sisters. So when I see them later, please don't be surprised. Sisters rarely see people in their lives, if you have any strange reactions to your son, please don't be surprised. ”
"How so? It's just that I'm just sending you home, girl. Even if you are kind enough to leave me for a cup of tea, I won't stay long, it's not early, and I have to hurry home. Li Xiaoming smirked. It was the first time in his life that he sat so close to a woman other than his sister, and he was embarrassed. Although he had been in contact with Xianmi before, the feeling that Xianmi gave him was completely different from the feeling that the woman in front of him gave him. The woman in front of him was an out-and-out beauty, and the incense powder on her body made him even more fascinated. He was embarrassed to even look people in the face.
If you say how you can get acquainted with such a beauty, it's really a coincidence. I went out last night to buy clothes for Xianmi, but on the way, I bumped into a group of young people who were teasing this girl, and he suddenly saw that the road was uneven and pulled out a knife to help, and saved this girl. Perhaps because they were afraid of his awe-inspiring righteousness, the group of ruffians slipped away without any entanglement with him. After saving the girl, he learned that the girl's home was a certain distance from the town, so he was worried that the girl would encounter something bad if she walked alone at night, so he stayed with the girl outside for the night. After dawn, he personally drove the girl home in a carriage.
I can't imagine that this girl is born out of the ordinary, with smooth skin, not like an aunt who works in the countryside, but her home is really in the countryside. Li Xiaoming was secretly glad in his heart, he was really lucky, he could meet such a beauty as soon as he went out. If the master knows it, he must not be jealous and die, but he has not returned overnight, the master and Xianmi must be very worried about themselves, and they must go back quickly when they send the girl home later.
The carriage slowed down and finally stopped in front of a small two-story bamboo building. Li Xiaoming looked around and found that there were dense bushes all around here, only here was a two-story bamboo house out of thin air, which was usually hidden in the bushes and it was really difficult for people to find.
He got out of the carriage, and then took the girl by the hand and led her out of the carriage. He looked at the bamboo building with a red face and said, "Girl, your family is so special." It's the first time I've seen a bamboo house when I'm this big. I didn't expect that in such a wild place, your daughter's family could be self-reliant, which really makes me admire. ”
The girl smiled, but Xiao Ming's whole face was red. He hurriedly turned his head away, as if he had done something bad for fear of being discovered by others. The girl seemed to see through his thoughts, stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve and said: "If it weren't for Childe, Tanhua would have been hacked by thieves yesterday and her innocence would not be guaranteed; ”
Originally, Li Xiaoming wanted to go back quickly, but he was embarrassed to refuse when the girl kept him like this, so he simply stayed. The two then entered the house.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a round table in the center of the room, on which some vegetarian dishes were placed, and there were four women sitting around the round table. For a moment, Xiao Ming felt that their eyes were shining when they saw him. It is conceivable that these four must be the sisters of the epiphany girl. Although her four older sisters are also beautiful, they seem to be older, so they are not very attractive to him.
The oldest of the four women was dressed in a water-green shirt, and when he saw Xiao Ming and Tanhua coming back, he hurriedly beckoned the two of them to sit down and eat. Xiao Ming was surrounded by so many women at once, and he was immediately embarrassed, so he picked up the rice bowl and began to desperately pick up the rice. A sister in an orange shirt next to him snatched his rice bowl, and then desperately put vegetables into it, and kept smiling and saying to him: "It's not enough to eat rice alone, you have to eat more vegetables to have balanced nutrition." Since you're a guest brought home by our sister, we can't afford to slack off. ”
"Thank you, sister. Xiao Ming smiled as she piled a whole plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes into her bowl. Unexpectedly, Epiphany's sister is really hospitable.
At this time, the sister in blue clothes, who had been sitting opposite Xiao Ming in a dull voice, spoke: "Looking at the appearance of this son, it seems that he is a scholar." ”
Hearing others talking to him, Xiao Ming tried to swallow the rice in his mouth, then put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "It's a little ashamed to say. Originally, it was indeed to test fame. But later, after my father died, my family fell into the middle, so I gave up taking the merit test. Now, it's an idler. ”
"I don't know what Childe usually does, will he go to the green building like most men?" asked the pink-clad sister who had not spoken.
"Not really. Although the younger generation is not from a scholarly family, they also know how to clean themselves and never go to that kind of place. As for the work that the younger generation is engaged in now, it is probably a job such as cultivating immortals and catching monsters. ”
"Monster hunting?" the four women shouted in unison, staring at Xiao Ming with disdainful expressions.
Xiao Ming knew that when ordinary people heard the words "monster hunting", they would definitely treat each other as a magic stick. Actually, I don't have anything to defend myself. Hu Xiao has really had nothing to do all this time, and he is no different from a god stick. But even if the master is a god, he still needs to save his face in front of outsiders. So, he hurriedly explained: "Speaking of which, the sisters may not believe it. But I've seen youkai with my own eyes......"
At this moment, Epiphany interrupted him, "Let's eat quickly, the food will be cold later." Sisters, don't embarrass him too much. In order to send me back, Li Gongzi drove for a day, and he must be exhausted at this time. Let's eat first. ”
Xiao Ming nodded at her gratefully, and then ate the food in the bowl. This meal really supported him, he had never eaten so much, if it weren't for the fear that it would make people feel uneducated, he really couldn't eat so much. Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, he suddenly felt sleepy, no, he had to hurry back.
"Today, I really bothered the girls, thank you for your hospitality. It's just that it's not early, and my family is still waiting for me to come home. So I'm going to leave first, and then I'll have a while. He stood up respectfully and waved to the group of women, and then strode towards the door.
After walking a few steps, the sleepiness deepened. He had to rest against the wall for a while, but his mind became more and more chaotic. It's already embarrassing to eat at someone's house, and if you are cheeky enough to stay overnight at someone's house at this moment, they are all a group of unmarried girls, and it will really damage their reputation if they spread it. No, I can't sleep here...... You can't ...... yourself
He struggled out of the door, but within a few steps he fell to the ground completely......
