Chapter 14: To no avail

"Tooth man ......" Yang Shaoru looked at Sima leisurely in a daze.

"What did you say? Tooth Man...... How can it be...... How can it be...... How could Yue'er be captured by the tooth man...... Impossible...... It's impossible to ......" At this time, Yang Shaoru had long lost his usual composure, and now he was like a madman talking nonsense.

Tooth people are professional human traffickers. These tooth people often kidnapped women or children in various parts of the Yuan Kingdom and sold them to other countries or the marginal areas of the Yuan Kingdom.

was kidnapped by the tooth man, and there was very little possibility of finding it back, so Yang Shaoru was so devastated when he learned that it was the tooth man who kidnapped Yue'er.

Yang Shaoru stood there blankly, repeating "impossible...... impossible", this famous talent in Linjiang is almost crazy. The people around looked at Yang Shaoru with a hint of unbearability in their eyes, and almost all of them were silent.

Only Sima leisurely.

only heard the sound of "pop", and saw Sima leisurely walk up to Yang Shaoru and slap Yang Shaoru.

A very clear slap mark appeared on Yang Shaoru's face, and he was also a little sober at this time, reached out and touched his face, and then looked at Sima Youran with a puzzled expression.

Sima Youran put his hand on Yang Shaoru's shoulder, stared at Yang Shaoru's eyes, and said in a calm voice: "Shaoru...... Be sober...... Yue'er, she may still be saved. ”

"What? What did you say?" A little light instantly appeared in Yang Shaoru's originally dull eyes.

"I mean, probably...... But if you continue to escape reality like this, Yue'er will really be hopeless. Sima said leisurely.

When Yang Shaoru heard this, he also took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"Everyone gathered around, and I will tell you about the plan. Sima said leisurely to everyone.

The crowd hurriedly gathered around.

"It's been about five hours since the pair left the city. I took Brother Shaoru from the West Gate and searched along the road; Brother Mingyu took Brother Tianluo and some family members to start the search from the East Gate; Brother Wang and Brother Wei followed and took the rest of the people from the North Gate. After the search was over, we met in Huaicheng to the west. ”

After Sima leisurely finished talking about the plan, he continued: "I am not 100% sure that I will find Yue'er, but I know that if we don't look for it, Yue'er will really be hopeless!"

"So, let's go, everyone!"

As a result, the talented men of Linjiang began to ride fast horses to search for the traces of the tooth people, and Xu Jishan also used carrier pigeons to send orders to the city lords of various cities and counties to closely check all the suspected tooth people's convoys at the city gate.

In this way, three days passed, and Sima Youran and others searched the entire Zhizhou, and even several neighboring states and counties were searched by Chen Mingyu at his expense.

Outcome...... Nothing.

In the end, the talented people could only return to Linjiang City.

Since returning to Linjiang, Yang Shaoru has been at home behind closed doors. Sima Youran was very worried about Yang Shaoru's state, so he went to Yang Shaoru with Chen Mingyu and others.

Everyone knocked on the door of the Yang family, but no one answered. Chen Mingyu's face changed in shock, thinking that Yang Shaoru was looking for a short time at home, so he knocked Yang Shaoru open the door with another talent.

After everyone broke in, they found that Yang Shaoru was lying on the table and fell asleep, and there were two jars of wine on the table that had bottomed out - it turned out that Yang Shaoru was drunk and fell asleep.

But Sima Youran and Chen Mingyu are still not at ease. The two would come together every day to visit Yang Shaoru. Sometimes Yang Shaoru is drunk, sometimes he is sober, just sitting on the bed and not saying a word.

Half a month passed like this.

On that day, Chen Mingyu and Sima Youran still came to visit Yang Shaoru.

The two gently pushed open the door and found that Yang Shaoru was not at home.

A letter was pressed under the empty jar on the table.

Sima Youran picked up the letter and found that there were only a few words on the letterhead: "Brother Youran, Brother Mingyu, thank you for the care of the two brothers these days." I've figured it out, I'm going to find Yue'er. I don't know where she is, but I'm sure I'll find her someday. Please also ask the two brothers not to read it. Yang Shaoru respectfully. ”

Shao Ru ...... Let's go......

On this day, Yang Shaoru, a talented son of Linjiang City, left Linjiang City.

......

......

More than a year has passed, and Yang Shaoru has also returned to Linjiang...... I just don't know if he'll leave.

In fact, in Sima Youran's heart, Yang Shaoru is indeed the best candidate for the edict of the Hanlin Academy.

"It's not early, let's go and see Brother Shaoru tomorrow." Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Sima thought leisurely. Then, Sima leisurely walked in the direction of Sima Xiangfu.

Nothing was said all night.

......

The next day, Sima leisurely came to the door of Yang Shaoru's house.

Sima Youran knocked lightly on the door, wondering if Yang Shaoru's current state was normal.

A young man opened the door, it was Yang Shaoru.

In Sima Youran's eyes, Yang Shaoru has lost a lot of weight compared to last year, his face has become very bad, and he has also lost the temperament that made people feel that he was high-spirited.

"Brother Leisure...... You're here......" Yang Shaoru was not surprised to see Sima Youran outside the door, he knew that Sima Youran was edicted into the capital, and he also knew that he had returned to Linjiang in the past two days.

"Brother Shaoru......" Sima Youran found that Yang Shaoru's voice also became hoarse. The former great talent of Yushu Linfeng has actually become like this......

At this time, Yang Shaoru also reacted, and hurriedly said: "Brother Youran, please come in...... You are now a big official in the capital, and you have been standing outside the door like something. ”

Then Yang Shaoru led Sima Youran into the house, and Sima Youran found that Yang Shaoru had not changed much from a year ago, but there were some dust in many places.

The two sat down at the table, and Yang Shaoru smiled dryly: "I'm sorry, Brother Youran, there is nothing to prepare at home...... The hospitality is not good, and I hope that Brother Youran will not be surprised......"

"It's fine. Sima said calmly. "A few days ago, Brother Mingyu invited you to the banquet for me, why didn't you come. Sima asked leisurely.

Yang Shaoru was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Sima Youran to ask this question suddenly, and then smiled lightly and said, "I'm not the original talent anymore." I'm just a ronin now...... How can I get in front of you talented and rich sons to obstruct your eyes......" Yang Shaoru paused, and then said with a smile: "Besides...... Brother Youran, you know...... I'm going to wait at home...... I'm afraid that I won't be at home when Yue'er comes back to look for me......"

Sima Youran saw Yang Shaoru like this, and his nose couldn't help but sour.

Shaoru ...... What have you been through this year......"
