Time travel from the red building

Chapter 22 22. Fight against kidnapping
After Yunxi got married, she would go to Xuanzhen to watch Yunqing every ten days, chat with Yunqing about her daily life, and remember to give Yunqing a copy of any new things she got, although Yunqing did not go to her house She went there, but she also found someone to give her things several times. Although the two were separated in two places, their relationship did not fade, because Yun Qing got along well with the two priests, Yu Yuan, and Yun Xi would also bring them Some gifts, the two Taoist priests each returned gifts, and the two sides gradually developed some friendship.

When the weather was getting colder, Yun Qing received a letter from Jia Min and a lot of thank you gifts. In the letter, she thanked her for her reminder first, which prevented their family from hiring a gentleman with a worrying personality, and specifically mentioned Daiyu and Mo Yu's guest of honor has been invited, he is an old man in his sixties, and he said that they have settled down in Yangzhou Prefecture, and they want to invite Yun Qing to visit when the spring is warm and the flowers bloom next year.

Yun Qing was a little moved.

Now that Yunxi is married, she is accompanied by her husband to take care of her. The neighbor is the uncle's house, so she can help out when there is something to do. She no longer needs to be there all the time. The Taoist temple has Taoist priests and others to take care of them. There are special people in charge of things in the village. She is actually If you are more free, you can walk around, or go sightseeing in the mountains, or go to the mountains to collect some good medicinal materials, which is better than being bored in the house.

Moreover, she also wanted to go to Gusu or Jinling to see if she could find Mrs. Zhen and Zhen Yinglian. If possible, she wanted to rescue Zhen Yinglian from the kidnapper and reunite their mother and daughter.

In fact, when thinking of Jia Yucun, Yun Qing had already done divination, but she had never met Zhen's mother and daughter, and secondly, she didn't know their birth dates. The result of the divination was very simple, only that they were both in the north. The conclusion left Yun Qing speechless. She didn’t have as many clues as she got from the vague original work. At least it was clearly written in the original work of the Red Chamber that Mrs. Zhen lives in Daru Prefecture. Unfortunately, this place name is fictitious, so I don’t know. Where is it, but Zhen Yinglian was sold in Jinling, although I don't know if she is there now, but it doesn't prevent Yun Qing from going there to find out.

Action is worse than heartbeat, Yun Qing immediately packed her luggage, explained to Daoist Yu and the others, and then went to Yunxi to say goodbye briefly, Yunxi was very reluctant, and said: "We will soon enter the winter moon, and the New Year is less than two months away. , is there anything you can’t wait until after the Chinese New Year?”

Yun Qing said: "There are still two months left, I will be back in a month at most, so I won't delay the Chinese New Year."

Yunxi had nothing to say, knowing that she couldn't stop her sister, so she had to prepare some portable food for her to use on the road, and reminded her to pay attention to safety, don't forget that someone at home is worried, and she must come back before the year Wait, Yun Qing responded one by one, and didn't want to see Yunxi's expression that seemed to be parting from life and death, so she hurriedly set off.

There is no need for any means of transportation. Yun Qing has practiced for so many years. Although Yujian can't fly, it is not a problem to shrink the ground to an inch. The distance from Hangzhou to Jinling is only more than 500 miles. If she goes all out, it will only take three to four hours. Moreover, when she is alone, she can also use the Cosmos Bag. Although the space is not large, it only has about ten cubic meters, which is enough for her to hold a lot of things.

She set off that morning, and just before noon, Yun Qing had already arrived outside Jinling City. She thought that she was going to look for Zhen Yinglian and involve a kidnapper, so it was not good to make a big splash. Those people have a keen sense of smell. ?
Thinking about it this way, after Yunqing entered the city, he didn't do anything extra. Instead, he found an inn where he could both stay and eat, and opened a secluded upper room. He felt that he was here for Yunyou, and lived in it with peace of mind. .

From this day on, Yun Qing wandered around Jinling City, went in to pay homage to Taoist temples when she encountered them, and occasionally discussed the Tao with those Taoist priests. The suspicious person is also paying attention to whether she can find some helpers who can help her find out the news, but unfortunately, seven or eight days have passed and nothing has been found.

There was no other way, Yun Qing could only recall the original work of A Dream of Red Mansions, and suddenly thought that the person who advised Jia Yucun was originally a little novice from the temple next door to Zhen Yinglian's house, and the kidnapper who brought Zhen Yinglian rented his house. Getting started is also a direction.

After making up his mind, Yun Qing found a clever little beggar, gave him a dime, and said, "I have something that I need to find a smart and strict person to do. Help me find this person. The money It's yours."

The little beggar took the money carefully, and said: "Master Dao, whatever you want to do, just leave it to me. I promise to do it for you, and I will never let anyone know about it!"

"That's fine, I'll let you try it. I heard that there is a door in the yamen. It used to be a little monk in the temple. You go find out who this person is, and find out where his home is. After you find out clearly, You come here to find me again, I will take a walk around here every afternoon at Shenshi." Yun Qing was more optimistic about him, and seeing that he dared to accept the task, he simply gave it to him to try.

The little beggar solemnly agreed and ran away.

Yun Qing didn't want to pin her hopes on one person, and she continued to look for it herself. She wanted to spend money to hire some people to look for it together, but she was afraid of scaring the snake, so she could only work hard alone.

Fortunately, she didn't gain much by herself, but the little beggar's progress was very gratifying. In just two days, he found a person and a place to live, and he also inquired about one more piece of news: "Master Dao, the house in that person's family has been rented out. There are two rooms where a father and daughter live, I heard the father beating his daughter, he doesn't look like a good person."

The little beggar is not very old, but he knows how to survive. He didn't ask a word about Yunqing's purpose. Yunqing was very satisfied, and he was very generous when paying the money. I didn't forget to emphasize before that if there is anything in the future, just look for him.

Yun Qing laughed, it would be a pity for such a smart child to just be a beggar, she thought she could do something, but she was not in a hurry, she still had to stick to Zhen Yinglian's side first.

As far as Yun Qing knows, kidnappers rarely commit crimes alone, and most of them commit crimes in groups. Now that she has found a person, can she follow him to find their den?After all, their existence will only cause misfortune to others, and arresting them is eliminating harm for the people, and it can also accumulate merit for oneself, which is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

With a goal, Yun Qing began to follow the kidnapper. With Yun Qing's current cultivation base, as long as she didn't want to, the kidnapper would not be able to find her, so she followed very easily.

After following for a few days, Yun Qing found that the kidnapper's whereabouts were quite regular. He spent most of the time watching Zhen Yinglian at home, and rarely went far when going out. He just bought some daily necessities nearby, and he didn't see anyone close to him. Always walking alone, like a lone ranger, Yun Qing was a little confused. Could it be that she really met a kidnapper who went it alone?

Just when Yun Qing started to have this thought, Kidnap finally took a different action.
