The days when I farmed in Liaozhai

Chapter 15
The little fox demon did not return overnight, and the black cat demon disappeared.The two demon pets were not at home, Fu Duoxi's heart was empty.When I woke up in the morning, I suddenly found a note in the window.

"I'm going to Jinhua on business, and I won't be back for at least a month. Don't read it!"

The inscription is a cat's paw print.

Two days later, the little fox demon still hadn't come back, Fu Duoxi couldn't sit still anymore, so he pinned a pair of scissors to his waist, took a pack of snacks, and prepared to go to the Spring Temple.When passing by Aunt Huang's house, she deliberately looked into the door. Aunt Huang was drying cotton in the yard, and it seemed that she was preparing to make bedding and cotton clothes for her unborn grandson.

Aunt Huang was concentrating on her work, and Fu Duoxi didn't bother her.The footsteps hurried along the stream to the entrance of the village.Seeing the bamboo shed hidden among the flowers and plants from a distance, I feel relieved a lot.

Mrs. Jiang was busy greeting guests, and Granny Jiang was washing tea bowls behind the tea shed.After Mrs. Jiang officially helped in the tea shed, Grandma Jiang also came to help.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are clean people, and Fu Duoxi is very relieved to hand over the tea shed to them.Accounts are reconciled every three days, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are paid commissions based on sales.

Recently, the weather is getting warmer and the business of the tea shed is getting better and better. The two of them get paid more and work harder.

Fu Duoxi talked to Mrs. Jiang at the door of the tea shed, and was about to leave when she suddenly saw Xiao Lianniang running over from the village, panting.Before Fu Duoxi could say hello, Xiao Lianniang spoke first.

"Duo Xi, have you seen my Xiao Lian? I just went to your house and you were alone, so I thought you were in the tea shed..."

Fu Duoxi noticed that Xiao Lianniang was wiping her face when she spoke, and it was only when Xiao Lianniang came close that she could see that she was wiping tears.

Xiaolian is missing!
After Xiao Lian finished the sacrificial dance on the Shangji Festival, she originally wanted to go home with her parents. At that time, the official of the county government who organized the sacrificial ceremony said that they would send someone to send the dancing girls home.Xiaolian's parents had no choice but to go home first, but they didn't know that they waited and waited at home but their daughter didn't come back. They were so anxious that they didn't sleep well all night.

The next morning, I went to the county government office to inquire about my daughter's whereabouts. The county government officials said that they would have to wait two more days before they could send the girls home.Xiao Lian's parents had no choice but to go home and wait. The two days of waiting seemed like years.When they couldn't wait for their daughter, the couple went to the county government to ask again. This time, the officials spoke differently and told Xiaolian's parents to go home and wait. They would be notified if there was news about Xiaolian. If they found someone, they would be sent back immediately. Family.

Only then did Xiaolian's parents know that their daughter was missing...

"I also saw Xiaolian during the Shangsi Festival. Is she the only one missing? Where are the other dancing girls?"

Fuduoxi's voice was drowned out by the hurried hoofbeats.

On the official road, a group of five people galloped past on tall horses. The horseshoes flew up dust more than three feet high, and it took a long time to disperse.

"It looks like he's an official from the capital."

Granny Jiang was well-informed and said to herself to the horse team that had gone away.

Fu Duoxi didn't pay attention to the clothes of those people, she only noticed the leader riding a white horse, wearing a silver pierced eyepatch, as if going to a masquerade ball.

The man in the silver eyepatch was tall and straight, his eyes fixed on him, like a bolt of lightning flashed across the front of the tea shed, making it too late for people to look away.

"Xiao Lian's father is waiting at the gate of the county government office, so I can only ask people around. Xiao Lian is so obedient, it's impossible to run around and miss..."

Little Lianniang mumbled and walked away.

This time, I can say that I am familiar with the road to Chunshen Temple, and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain. Looking at the stone steps up the mountain, Fu Duoxi subconsciously looked towards the sacrificial stage of the Shangsai Festival.The sacrificial stage set up on the grass has been dismantled, and the shape of the stage at that time can be seen from the traces on the grass.

Where is Xiaolian now?What Xiao Lianniang said is right, Xiao Lian is very good.Although Xiao Lian harbored ambitions, she didn't have the guts to try it alone.

The sound of horseshoes came unexpectedly, Fu Duoxi looked at the dazzling figure on the white horse, and once again had no time to look back.

"Dali Temple handles the case, idlers avoid it."

The man on the white horse sat upright, his eyes hidden behind the silver blindfold revealed a sharp and menacing cold light.Those two cold lights swept towards Fu Duoxi, only then did Fu Duoxi realize that she was the only one around.Those who came down from the Spring God Temple and those who were going to go to the Spring God Temple on the mountain had already dispersed like frightened birds.

"You, get out of here quickly."

The man sitting on the white horse didn't speak, but his two eyes were more effective than the words of his subordinates. Under the gaze of those two cold eyes, Fu Duoxi hurriedly stepped on two steps and ran up the mountain .

After climbing up a hundred steps in one breath, Fu Duoxi stopped, turned around and looked down the mountain.Through the layers of leaves and flowers, although I can't see it very clearly, I can also see that the officials are scouting around the sacrificial stage.

Fu Duoxi suddenly realized that Xiaolian's disappearance might be a big case, otherwise Dali Temple in the capital would not be alarmed to investigate the case.

In the Spring God Temple, there are still many good men and women who are burning incense and worshiping the gods.Fu Duoxi looked around in the courtyard, but there was no sign of the little fox demon.Then I sneaked into the meditation room in the backyard of Chunshen Temple and searched around, but I didn't find the little fox demon either.

The Spring God Temple is about the size of a palm, and the layout is quite simple, there is no place to hide people at all.

Fu Duoxi kept reminding himself to keep calm, the little fox demon could not run around, and said that he wanted to watch the Spring God, and he was sure to be in the Spring God Temple.As long as the little fox demon is in the Temple of Spring God, it will definitely leave clues...

Fuduoxi's eyes are like a scanner, not missing an inch of land inside and outside the Chunshen Temple.When she saw half a meat bun under the altar, her heart was pounding.

Half of the meat bun fell on the foot of the altar, looking like a whitish stone.It's hard to see that shadow if you don't look at it on purpose.It has been three days, and the meat buns have long since lost the smell of meat.

Fu Duoxi was squatting under the altar holding half a meat bun when he suddenly heard the noise of people outside.He squatted and took two steps to the altar, and was about to get up when a tall figure walked in from behind the light.

Can't see the man's face clearly, but the blindfold on that face is shining.Fu Duoxi's gaze was attracted by the blindfold, and he forgot to stand up for a while, so he squatted beside the altar, staring fixedly at the silver pierced blindfold with his small face up. There was a problem in his mind, this person's eyes Shouldn't there be a problem?That would be a pity, what a beautiful figure and face!

"who are you?"

A cold voice came from the lips under the blindfold, and Fu Duoxi shivered cleverly.

"I am a good person."

Fu Duoxi grabbed the legs of the altar table and stood up. Hearing his trembling voice, he really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

Afraid of what he will do!

"I asked why you were there?"

Ji Yunshen pointed under the confession table.

"I dropped something."

Fu Duoxi looked at the half-hard meat bun covered with soot in his hand...
