The little lady of Xuanmen has become popular in the sixth palace by fortune-telling

Chapter 185 The village chief is missing

"Someone in the village also invited a Taoist priest to see if he had entered Xie Chong, but the Taoist priest found nothing. The few taels of silver the village collected were all taken away by the Taoist priest."

Xu Anan rubbed the embroidery thread in his hand: "Then tell me what's so special about this embroidery thread."

The woman looked hesitant. This embroidery thread was comparable to a taboo in the village. Because Village Chief Jian had spoken, she could not talk about it even to the death.

"Auntie, is the secret more important, or is the life of your entire village more important?"

The woman was startled: "Why is this related to the lives of the entire village?"

Xu Anan continued: "Believe it or not, don't you think the villagers in this village are getting weirder and weirder?"

Naturally, the woman saw it. It seemed as if normal people were slowly disappearing from the village. She was a little scared. After hesitating for a moment, she was ready to reveal something: "This happened one night ten years ago..."

"Aunt Chun?"

A soft female voice interrupted the woman's words. She looked at the person and said in surprise: "Sun Sanniang? Why did you come out?"

Sun Sanniang smiled softly: "Because I heard that the noble man has stayed in the village. Yesterday, because Brother Xuan kept crying, the noble man came to my house and did not entertain him well. I felt uneasy, so I wanted to come and see if the noble man was there. A place I’m not used to living in.”

"I'm sorry to worry about Miss Sun, I'm very nice here."

Because of Sun Sanniang's sudden appearance, the woman named Aunt Chun was in trouble.

It's better to talk about this matter in private. If it is brought out in the open and people listen to it, if the news reaches Village Chief Jian, she may be expelled from the village. Aunt Chun did not dare to say anything for a moment.

Sun Sanniang smiled and said: "Aunt Chun, what do you want to say to the noble man?"

Aunt Chun quickly waved her hands to avoid him: "No, I, I'm going back to make lunch."

"My lord, would you like to sit in my house?"

Xu Anan stared at Sun Sanniang's smiling face, and she also smiled: "Okay."

Outside the gate of Old Man Jian's courtyard, Xu Anan heard the child's cry. Sun Sanniang sighed: "Dad, go and cook for the noble man. I will take care of Xuan'er."

Sun Sanniang took the child, who cried even more fiercely. Sun Sanniang hurriedly took the child back to the house and closed the door.

"My lord, I have to laugh at you. This humble house is simple and shabby, and there is nothing to eat at my house. I'm afraid you won't be used to it."

Old Jian was a little nervous. He didn't expect that his daughter-in-law would actually bring him back. The family didn't have anything to eat. They all ate thick-wheat buns. He was afraid that Xu Anan wouldn't be used to it.

"You don't have to do my part."

"How about that, noble man? You sit at home for a while while I cook."

This family is roughly run by old man Jian, and his son has never appeared so far.

After a while, a small amount of smoke rose from the kitchen, and the children's crying continued. A man's weak cough came from inside the house: "Sanniang, give me the child."

Miraculously, as soon as the child was in the man's hands, he stopped crying instantly.

Only then did Sun Sanniang come out. She smiled apologetically at Xu Anan: "This child only clings to his father, and no one else can hold him."

"Your husband-in-law doesn't see any outsiders?"

Hearing Xu Anan's question, Sun Sanniang was a little embarrassed: "No." She was silent for a long time: "I'll go and ask."

She turned back to her room, and after a while, a sickly man came out with his child in his arms.

"Brother Youfu, this noble man wants to meet you."

The sickly man had a delicate appearance, his face was very pale, and he looked like he was not in good health. He coughed slightly and said, "What does the noble man want to see Jian?"

Xu Anan had a slight smile on her lips: "It's okay. You also know that we are here for the case in your village. The suspicious person is in the village. We can't miss any of them."

Jian Youfu expressed his understanding: "Don't worry, sir, our family has never done anything like this, otherwise we wouldn't have reported the case first." "I was weak and didn't want to pass on my illness to you, so I didn't show up yesterday. ."

After he finished speaking, Old Man Jian came out with the dishes. Because Sun Sanniang was still breastfeeding, she had a bowl of broth, and on the table was a pile of boiled wild vegetables, stir-fried cabbage with minced meat, and thick noodles mixed with white noodles. Cake, and rice.

"My lord, this is the only food in the house. Don't dislike it."

This is the most sumptuous meal that Old Man Jian has cooked in a long time. He cooked all the rice at home.

Xu Anan took a few bites, left a couple of coins and left.

Old Jian wanted to chase him out and said there was no need to give him any more, but Xu Anan's figure had long since disappeared.

He turned back and entered the house: "This noble man is really a good person."

His meal is not worth one tael of silver. He has to work hard for several months to earn one tael of silver.

"Sanniang, drink the soup so that you can make milk for the baby."

Sun Sanniang looked at the fishy broth. Under Old Man Jian's gaze, she drank it in one gulp, then stood up and returned to her room.

Jian Youfu looked at the sleeping child and wanted to take him to bed to sleep.

Before I even opened the door, I heard the suppressed and uncomfortable sound of vomiting inside.

In a blink of an eye, night fell.

Mu Qing and Mu Yi had just returned from the mountain behind. Mu Qing said: "There is nothing special on the mountain. Master Yao has been looking for a long time and still can't find the mouse hole."

"Is it possible that there are mouse holes only in villages? Why don't Master Yao start looking for them in the villages?"

He was thinking about it, and saw Xu Anan sitting in the courtyard, and then he didn't see Village Chief Jian. He was a little confused: "Where is the Village Chief's family?"

By this time, Mrs. Jian and Zhao should have prepared some food, but at this hour, the kitchen was still cold.

Jia Ying was also puzzled: "I don't know. My wife and I have been sitting here all afternoon, and we haven't seen the village chief and others come back."

Mu Qing and Mu Yi looked at each other: "Is something going to happen to them?"

The night was completely dark, and Xu Anan was sure that Village Chief Jian and Jian Zhao were in danger.

"Are Yao Zhuoyu's people still there?"

Mu Qing nodded: "I should go back to the county."

Xu Anan stood up: "Ask them not to leave, let's go to the mountain."

"Jia Ying, tell the people in the village that the village chief is missing."

Jia Ying went to do it immediately. When Xu Anan reached the foot of the mountain, Yao Zhuoyu brought people down: "Miss, it's already dark. This mountain forest is quite big. It may be difficult to find people."

"Where is Magistrate Zhou?"

"Back to the county." Yao Zhuoyu pulled someone out: "But his son is still here, and there are still a few county officials staying here. Do you want to search the mountain?"

"That's inappropriate!" Zhou Xiaobo objected directly: "This mountain is not accessible at night. What if we get separated and get killed?"

"Miss, why don't we look for you tomorrow?"

Xu Anan glanced at him and stepped forward first: "Let's collect the bodies for them tomorrow."

　It’s all about plot lately, and by the way, there may be an update of 25 on the [-]th.
