peasant queen

Chapter 12 Shield

Jiang Wan handed him the reins of the horse, imitating his words: "This horse is yours now. Take it well, and don't come to me if it runs away."

"Don't worry, I won't look for you." After finishing speaking, the man happily led the horse and left.

Jiang Wan sold the horse for money, and happily left the livestock market to go to the restaurant she had been optimistic about before.

***
In Jiangyang Village, Mrs. Liang waited at home until dark but did not see Jiang Wan come back.

After dark, Mrs. Liang couldn't wait any longer, so she went to Chen's house.I saw Chen Xing'er wearing new clothes and having dinner at home.

The old couple of the Chen family were also sitting at the table. Mrs. Liang nodded to Chen Xing'er, then came to Chen Xing'er and said, "Where is my Wan'er? Didn't she go to town with you?"

"Sister Wan, hasn't she come back yet? We separated after wandering around the town for a while! Today, my brother Muxiu, I will go to my brother's place.

Worried that sister Wan would have an accident on the road alone, I invited her to go with me, but sister Wan didn't want to, so she came back alone. " Chen Xing'er said pretending to be very surprised.

"Wan'er didn't come back, do you know where she will go?" Liang said while holding Chen Xing'er's hand.

"Didn't come back? Oh! It's all my fault, if only I came back with Sister Wan." Chen Xing'er pretended to be very sad and blamed herself.

When Liang saw Chen Xing'er, she didn't know where her daughter had gone, and her whole heart seemed to be broken.

How could this be?Wan'er had just escaped a death calamity, how could something happen again?

I don't believe it, I don't believe it, Wan'er must have gone home, I'm going back to find her.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Liang ran out of Chen's house and ran home quickly.

When I got home, I found that there were only two young sons in the house. Seeing Mrs. Liang coming back from the outside, the two ran over happily and asked, "Mother, have you found your sister?"

"Your sister hasn't come back yet." Mrs. Liang also said something.

The three of you look at me, and I look at you.In the end, the three mothers hugged each other and wept bitterly.

After a while, Jiang Ronggan also came back.Seeing the three people hugging each other and crying at the door, his heart sank, and he couldn't find his sister either.

Jiang Rong dared to help Mrs. Liang into the house and said, "Mother, tell me, does the disappearance of my sister have something to do with the Chen family?"

When Liang, who was crying, heard his son say that, he quickly raised his head and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"I think so. Since the Chen family withdrew from Wan'er's marriage, our family has basically stopped interacting with his family.

My sister has been obediently staying at home, so why did Chen Xing'er suddenly come over and want to go to town with Wan'er?
Moreover, Niang said that Wan'er didn't want to go with Chen Xing'er at first. "Jiang Rong dared to give Liang an analysis.

"Yes! Wan'er didn't want to go to town with Chen Xinger at first. I was afraid that Wan'er would get bored, so I pushed her out.

It's all my fault, if I hadn't pushed her out, Wan'er wouldn't be missing now. "Liang said while crying.

"Mother, now is not the time to blame yourself, the most important thing now is to get Wan'er back."

"But where can I find Wan'er now? I went to Chen's to ask just now. Chen Xing'er said that they separated after shopping, and Wan'er disappeared on the way back." Liang said sobbing.

Jiang Rong dared not believe it, he felt that Chen Xing'er was lying.Something must have happened that he didn't know about?
Now only Chen Xing'er knows what's going on?But she didn't want to say it, so she had to find a way to make her speak.

The normal method couldn't ask, but Jiang Rong dared to try the abnormal method.

After thinking about it, Jiang Rong decided to go to the town tomorrow to ask his uncle.

My uncle reads a lot and spends a lot of time in town, maybe some of my classmates have met my sister?
Early the next morning, Jiang Ronggan went to the town and came to Songshan Academy where his uncle Jiang Chengshan was studying.

Jiang Chengshan was appreciated by his master and because his parents were gone.

He usually lives in the academy, except for a few big brothers who notify him of important events, and usually seldom come back.

This time, he didn't expect that just as he got up to wash up, he heard Uncle Quan at the door running to say: There is a young man looking for him at the door.

Jiang Chengshan thought as he walked: Is it Rong Gan from the eldest brother's family?Is there something wrong at home?

Thinking of this, Jiang Chengshan quickened his pace.When I came to the door, I saw that it was indeed Rong Gan.

Jiang Rong dared to see his uncle coming out, so he hurried over and grabbed his hand and whispered, "Uncle, Wan'er is gone."

"What did you say? Wan'er disappeared? Why did she disappear when she was fine? Could it be that her illness is not recovering? She said she was recovering because she was worried about her family?"

Jiang Chengshan's series of questions almost knocked Jiang Ronggan unconscious.

After regaining consciousness, he quickly explained: "No, Wan'er didn't leave by herself, it was Chen Xing'er who asked her to come to town with her and disappeared."

Jiang Chengshan fell into deep thought after hearing what his nephew said.

At this time, a carriage came over.The people in the carriage saw Jiang Chengshan at the door and said, "Hey! Isn't this Jiang's great talent from our academy!

Why are you standing at the door?Even standing with a beggar, I am not afraid of losing the face of our academy. "

"I'm not a beggar." Jiang Rong dared to say angrily after hearing what the other party said.

"Oh! Who are you? Look at the clothes on your body. There are patches all over your body. Are you a beggar? That's a beggar. They all mean the same thing anyway."

After speaking, the man laughed loudly, and walked into the academy waving the folding fan in his hand.

Jiang Rong dared to reason with him, but was held back by Jiang Chengshan beside him.

Jiang Chengshan stopped Jiang Rong and dared to say: "Don't pay attention to him, that person is just a mouthful, and he can't say a few nice words from his mouth.

The most important thing for us now is to find Wan'er.Also, we can't tell others about Wan'er's disappearance, we can only look for it secretly, hear? "

After hearing what my uncle said, Jiang Rong dared to nod.Even if my uncle didn't say anything about this matter, he knew the seriousness of the matter.

That's why he didn't ask the villagers to help him find it.Instead, I ran to the town and asked my uncle.

Jiang Chengshan told Jiang Rong to wait for him here, and he went in to ask his master for leave.I will find someone with my nephew in a while.

Soon, Jiang Chengshan came out.

He took two steamed buns, gave one to Jiang Ronggan, and said to himself, "Eat it! These are provided by the academy for us students who live in the house."

"Thank you, uncle!" Jiang Rong dared to take the steamed buns and said.

"Why are you being polite to my uncle? Let's inquire after eating to see if anyone in the town has seen Wan'er?" Jiang Chengshan said as he took a bite of the steamed bun in his hand.

"Hmm!" Jiang Rong didn't dare to say anything, he was really hungry.

Last night, because they were worried about Wan'er, their family didn't eat much.Today, because I came to town in a hurry, I forgot to eat.

No, I met someone with an idea.Jiang Ronggan's brain stopped, and he felt hungry all of a sudden and ran to him.

After eating the steamed buns in his hand, Jiang Chengshan took Jiang Ronggan to ask one by one in the town's shops.

Jiang Chengshan was afraid of revealing the disappearance of his niece, so he asked Chen Xinger mainly.

After all, her brother is a student of the academy, and he lives in the town, so many people know him.

Besides, it was Chen Xing'er who insisted on bringing her niece to town yesterday, so she was naturally used as a shield.
