Chapter 10

Yueyue is only 9 years old this year, but she is very skilled in some life affairs, even better than some adults.

She can cook, do laundry, and embroider some handkerchiefs to sell.

When Aunt Hao goes out, Yueyue will follow.

Aunt Hao was blind, and Yueyue acted as her mother's eyes.

Four days ago, Aunt Hao suffered from asthma, and Yueyue went out with her. They were familiar with that pharmacy. Aunt Hao went in and waited for the medicine to go to the shop next to her. She bought silk thread here, because she was running out of materials for embroidering handkerchiefs at home, so she had to buy new ones.

Once gone, never came back.

Aunt Hao waited for a while and felt that something was wrong, she hurriedly went to the shop to find someone, but the shop owner said that Yueyue had already bought it and left. She walked over, and the two walked away while talking.

Aunt Hao felt a shudder in her heart.

After looking around for a long time and asking many people, the answer I got in the end was the same—

Yueyue left with that aunt.

"Does anyone know the direction that aunt took Yueyue to leave?" Jiang Chu asked after listening.

"I asked, but no one really knows. It's rare that two people say it, but they don't agree. One says east and one west. I don't know which one is true." Aunt Hao said Then he gasped again and coughed.

"Aunt Hao, have you always lived here?" Jiang Chu looked at the room.

"We originally owned a house, but after my family left, we owed a debt, so we had to sell the house to pay off the debt, and we have been living here since then."

"Then do you have an enemy family?" Jiang Chu asked, "Could it be the family who owes money to seek revenge?"

"We orphans and widows, we don't dare to offend anyone, where's the enemy family!" Aunt Hao was about to cry, "The one that owes money will be repaid after we sell the house, and there will be no more money. I owe it, and I haven't contacted us again, so they have no reason to come to us again."

"Never have any grudges against anyone?"

"No, really not, and even if there is, there is no reason for the other party to take Yueyue away. It has been four days. If it was kidnapping and blackmailing, it should have come to the door long ago!" Aunt Hao wiped away her tears, " My poor daughter, I don't know how she is now, if something happens to her, then I will not live..."

Jiang Chu saw Aunt Hao's hand.

It's not winter yet, but she already has a lot of sores and scars on her hands.

In order to make a living, she can only do some starch washing work, no matter whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, her hands have long been rubbed and worn out.

In terms of age, Aunt Hao may not be called an "aunt" at all, she may only be around 50, but because of poor living conditions and hard work, she looks very vicissitudes, as if she is [-] or [-] years old.

"In other words, four days have passed, and you don't have any clues, right?" Jiang Chu asked.

Aunt Hao opened her mouth.

"Are you hiding anything from me? Aunt, I don't covet anything from your family, I just want to help you find Yueyue. If you find anything, I hope you can tell me in time, maybe we can get it back together in time. Yueyue." Jiang Chu frowned and said.

"I don't have... I really don't have any clues, but I really can't figure out why someone wants to kidnap Yueyue. There is only one situation after thinking about it... But I don't dare to think about it."

Aunt Hao covered her face and cried silently.

"What you said is..." Jiang Chu seemed to feel it.

"Yueyue was so cute when she was a child. Later, I became blind. Although I don't know what she looks like now, as long as we go out, someone will praise her for her beauty..."

Aunt Hao didn't say anything, but Jiang Chu understood.

A 9-year-old girl can say whether she is big or small.

If it looks ordinary, it may be taken away and sold to other people, or sold as a slave, but if it looks beautiful, then...

"In the city, that kind of place... How many famous places are there?" Jiang Chu asked, "Don't think too much, I just want to inquire in advance, and pay more attention when looking for it."

After asking all the questions, Wuyou also came back. When Aunt Hao drank the porridge and lay down to sleep, Jiang Chu instructed Wuyou to make medicine for Aunt Hao, and waited here with her, while she herself returned to the inn. .

After closing the door and taking out the fortune-telling, Jiang Chu took a deep breath and started the fortune-telling.

Looking for people, looking for directions, it is better to use the way of divination.

After a while, Jiang Chu took the hexagram and looked at it.

The person he was looking for was due south, and judging from the hexagram, it didn't seem too far away.

Only knowing these two points is still too difficult. It can only be said that the scope has been shortened by more than half. It is almost impossible to find people with this fast speed.

Jiang Chu scratched his head anxiously——

"Sooner or later, this broken spirit will make me mad, ahhh, auntie!"

How could she be so angry!
If it is a compound hexagram array like 27 divination signs or 36 divination signs, then she can shorten the range to within 50 zhang with one test, and even find out the person directly with another test.

Well now, only the most basic signatures can be used, and the amount of information is ridiculously small!
Gritting his teeth, Jiang Chu took the test again.

If one time is not enough, do it several times until there is enough information.

In the second test, Jiang Chu only got one key word——

liqueur.

South, not far, wine.

Tavern?

wine cellar?

What does this measure? It's too vague.

But... she doesn't seem to have enough spiritual will to test for the third time today.

Jiang Chu put his elbows on the table, his palms supported his face, and his palms squeezed her soft cheeks into various shapes, as if this action could let her vent her inner sulking.

I don't know if I'm a chicken, but I'm startled when I'm a chicken.

Terribly weak.

With a long sigh of relief, Jiang Chu finally stopped ravaging her face. She got up, opened the door, and called the driver.

"Let's go, take me around the city, let's go all the way to the south, and come down to see if there is a place that sells wine or has a strong smell of wine."

"Yes, ma'am."

Sitting in the carriage, with the curtains lifted, Jiang Chu stared at the restaurants passing by, and every time he passed one, he would go down to the other restaurants.

After the transfer, if I don't find it, I will ask the shopkeeper or the junior to inquire about Yueyue.

Jiang Chu found it was dark, but found nothing. Seeing that the carriage went further and further away, it was already out of the "not too far" range of the Gua plane, so he had no choice but to stop and let the driver return to Qingshan Lane.

Seeing that Aunt Hao had taken the medicine and she was drowsy, Jiang Chu called Wuyou back to the inn to rest, and planned to continue looking for someone tomorrow morning.

The consumption of spiritual energy also takes time to recover. I rest for a night, and I should be able to do it again tomorrow.
