Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

Chou Chou heard Qingyan tell her to help her find the way to Chen's house, but she didn't know exactly what she was going to do, and thought she was going to fight for justice.

After hearing her thoughts, she was speechless for a while.

"You just listened to the gossip of the neighbors, and you think those things are true? What if it's not what they think?

That's just their guess. If the truth of the matter is different, wouldn't we be embarrassed by then? "

Hearing this, Qingyan stopped in her tracks, and said with some hesitation: "But what if it's true? If this Mrs. Xue was indeed kidnapped, it means that she has no natal family. When she is tortured to death, no one will manage.

It's fine if we don't know, but now that we've heard it, it's the same surname as mine. If we don't care about it, I still feel a bit awkward.

Anyway, we are going to leave, and within the scope of our ability, we will not lose anything, so we will take action when it is time to do so.

And no matter whether it is true or not, there is no way to investigate it, and there is no time now. Even if this place is not far from the capital, it will not be possible to find out in two days, let alone it happened more than ten years ago.

This Xue Minghua refused to go home, most likely because he was afraid of hurting the reputation of other women in the family, and her family would definitely not publicize that a girl in the family was missing.

This is not like the one shown on TV, just go to a tavern and find a well-rounded person to know the world's affairs. "

Chou Chou nodded helplessly, although it still felt that Qingyan was a little meddling, a chance encounter, no, it should be said that it was an irrelevant person, just a surname, just now it helped to take away the beating stick, and Breaking off the legs of the Chen family's mother and daughter is already the most benevolent.

This kind of thing that hides in the dark and shoots at people is what it likes to do most, and most of them don't think of themselves.

But if you want to help others, you have to make up many reasons, and it feels that it is too troublesome, and it is not necessary at all.

But since you want Qingyan to be happy, then go ahead and treat the child as happy. The relationship between it and Qingyan is not a little master and a pet. She pampered her like her own child.

Besides, they will leave the day after tomorrow, and they will not be troubled in the future. How they live in the future depends on the luck of Xue Shi himself.

However, they couldn't be too deliberate, so they thought for a while and said, "You can pretend to ask people nearby, especially the people in the alley, and ask them if they know this Mrs. Xue.

I see that there is an embroidery stand in the Xue family's house, and there is a semi-finished product on it, which looks very delicate. There is no embroidery on their clothes, and they should rely on embroidery to sell money. You said you recognized her in the embroidery shop. The embroidery is exactly the same as the one left at home, so I found it after asking.

Anyway, it's just a reason. When you inquire, give a few copper coins. As long as you know, I should tell you what kind of person Xue is. "

Qingyan listened carefully, and wrote down what Chou Chou said. Sure enough, even if the strange beast had lived for a long time, even if it hadn't joined the world, it would know some things about people.

Qingyan came to the East Street again, and the previous people had already left.

Follow the road that Chou Chou refers to, and arrive at the entrance of the alley in the first row. There is an old lady sitting there, fanning with a wheat straw fan. It will be noon soon, and the old lady has not returned Cooking at home, presumably he is an idler with someone to take care of. This kind of person should know a lot.

Qingyan stepped forward and said politely: "Ma'am, please ask someone, do you know that there is a woman named Xue in her thirties near here?"

The old lady stopped what she was doing, looked her up and down first, and said, "Who are you? Ask what this person does?"

Qingyan said directly: "I'm her clan sister. I came here to visit relatives. When I was shopping, I saw her embroidery in the embroidery village, so I asked her address to find her. Does she live here?"

The old lady's eyes flickered and said: "No, I don't know it, you can look elsewhere."

Qingyan didn't notice the old lady's expression, and thought that maybe Mrs. Xue didn't deal with others very much, that's why she didn't know anyone who lived in this alley.

Just as Qingyan wanted to pretend to walk in, she should know someone who was close, when someone stopped her.

I saw a woman coming out of a yard not far from her, waving at her.

"Girl, I may know the person you are looking for."

The old lady just glared at her and said, "Qiaoling, where did you get to know her, go back quickly, don't talk nonsense."

The woman glanced at her, but she didn't go back obediently. Instead, she walked up to Qingyan and said, "Mother, I know you are afraid of offending that shrew of the Chen family, but what kind of life did Mrs. Xue live in the Chen family? It’s not that I don’t know, now that my mother’s family has finally come to inquire, and you don’t know each other, pointing him away, isn’t this making people miss the chance of reunion?”

Qingyan looked at the woman, then at the old lady, and retracted her previous thoughts. It turned out that it wasn't that Mrs. Xue lived in reclusive life, but that everyone knew about her!
It's just that an outsider like her suddenly appeared, and the other party didn't want to offend the Chen family by talking too much.

It seems that the Chen family is quite intimidating in this alley.

Qingyan took out five copper coins from her satchel, stuffed them directly into the woman's hands, and said, "Please tell me, this sister-in-law, that the Chen family treats my sister badly? I came from the capital. I'm going back in two days, and when my family asks how my sister is doing, I always have to give an explanation."

The woman was taken aback by Qingyan's sudden grabbing hand. Just as she was about to withdraw, she felt the touch of her hand, and her eyes lit up immediately.

Don't worry, girl, I'll definitely talk to you, come on, it's too hot outside, let's go to my house and talk. "

While speaking, she pulled Qingyan into the courtyard next to her, and Qingyan followed her strength into the courtyard.

"Hey—" The old lady wanted to say something, and the woman named Qiaoling opened her hand towards her.

Seeing the copper plate in her hand, the old lady shut her mouth immediately, sat back on the stone pier, and looked around carefully, as if she was letting out the wind.

Qingyan followed her into the courtyard.

The yard is not big, only fifty or sixty square meters, and the two rows of houses in front and back are all inverted houses.

Because it is the first house at the entrance of the alley, the front row should be rented out as a store, and the back house has to be the same as the front one, which is the opposite of others, facing north from south.

There are three main rooms and one side room. The house is not small, but the orientation is not good. In addition, the windows are all wooden lattice, so the inside of the house is very dark.

Fortunately, it is summer now, the door is wide open, and the curtains are lifted, at least you can still see things.
