A small peasant girl

Chapter 1155

"Wenzi, second brother heard that she disappeared?" Liu Kangtu overheard the people around him mention Wen Xiaoduan's mysterious disappearance in Wenjia Village in the past few days. Hear the narration in Wenzi's mouth with his own ears.

"Second brother, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kept this matter from you." Wenzi spoke with self-blame in her tone, she was already guilty of not being able to find Wen Xiaoduan's whereabouts.

Now seeing Liu Kangtu suddenly appearing in front of him, looking devastated, this feeling of guilt and self-blame surged into Wenzi's heart even more.

"Hehe." Liu Kangtu didn't know what to say amidst a wry smile. When he heard that Wen Xiaoduan was taken away, his heart ached as if he was being scraped off bit by bit with a knife.

"Second Brother, we have sent a large number of people to look for Sister Wen's whereabouts." Wenzi knew that what he said had no credibility at all.

The shadow spies sent by Xuanyuan Po searched the places that should be found, but they couldn't find the whereabouts of the female minister and Wen Xiaoduan at all.

Logically speaking, the female minister could not escape too far with a pregnant woman who was pregnant with Liujia, but the shadow spies under Xuanyuan Po couldn't find out any news.

These shadow spies were often punished by Xuanyuan Po because they couldn't find Wen Xiaoduan's whereabouts. "Wenzi, what if they can't find it?" Liu Kangtu spoke weakly, his face was ashen, and he no longer had too many illusions about the future.

Once upon a time, his greatest wish was to marry Wen Xiaoduan home in a graceful manner after she became an adult, and then have a litter of dolls together to share the happiness of family.

This kind of simple and happy little happiness was crushed by his own father, and together with his yearning for love, he stepped on the soles of his feet and smashed into pieces.

"Second brother, I..." Seeing Liu Kangtu's condition was so bad, Wenzi also felt uncomfortable. She couldn't forgive herself for not being able to find out the mistake Wen Xiaoduan made, "I don't know either."

With this kind of guilt, Wenzi could only return the compensation to Wen's family. She found a convenient job for Wen's father, and the wages she paid were enough for their family to live well.

Brother Wen was arranged by Wenzi to a private school in the town, and there was a special teacher who taught him to read and write. It was bound to make up for what he owed Wen Xiaoduan to the Wen family.

Wen Zi's kindness, the Wen family can naturally see, they are used to the days of losing Wen Xiaoduan, although the pain is so painful that they can't speak, but they no longer continue to hold unrealistic and extravagant fantasies.

"Mother, it's time for you to drink the medicine." After Wen Xiaoya cooked the medicine, she poured it into a porcelain bowl and brought it in for Mother Wen to take.

"Ya, let's put it, mother will wait for a while to cool down before drinking." After taking the herbal medicine given by Wenzi, Mother Wen's body gradually improved a lot, and when the weather was good, she could walk two steps in the house.

"Mother, this good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease, so you have to drink it while it's hot." Wen Xiaoya spoke in a coquettish tone, seeing her mother's complexion much better than before, she felt relieved.

Having completely accepted the fact that Wen Xiaoduan would not come back, Wen Xiaoya seemed to have grown up a lot overnight. She knew that she had a heavy task on her shoulders, and she could no longer be as childish as before.

"Yeah, baby, you just listen to your daughter, you're sure there's nothing wrong." Father Wen came back from work, saw the scene in the house, and persuaded Mother Wen to drink the medicine, "The soup and medicine given by Wen girl is effective, you see Your mother looks much better than before."

"Yes, father, I also think that the medicine given by elder sister Wenzi is effective, and mother's mental state is much better than before." Wen Xiaoya continued what father Wen said, "If elder sister sees..."

Because Wen Xiaoya's unintentional words broke the excitement in the room, Wen's father and Wen's mother sank at the same time, falling into their own emotions.

Knowing that she said something wrong, Wen Xiaoya wished she could reach out and slap her across the face, why didn't she mention which pot.

Wen Xiaoduan has become a topic that the Wen family avoids talking about. It is like a scar left by a fire. If you don't touch it, you will die.

The workers who entered the water hole to work had a strange pattern on the back of their hands. They could not rest assured and continue to work, so they could only pin their hopes on the doctors in the town's medical center.

"Master, you said this is really strange. There are a lot of workers who have entered the water cave to work. Why do some of them have strange patterns on their arms?" The master was talking with the master of Wenxian County. The strange thing told him I've seen it a lot, but I've never seen such a strange thing.

"I'm wondering too." Master Wen County turned his head and glanced at the master, his eyes filled with incomprehensible doubts, "Master, why don't you go back and check to see what these people have in common."

"Yes, Lord, I'll get to it right away when I get back." The master replied immediately, if he didn't find out the answer as soon as possible, the process of developing the water tunnel would be affected.

The abundant water resources in the water cave have solved the water shortage situation in Daocheng and its surrounding areas, and made those originally barren lands gradually turn into fertile fields.

Master Wen County suddenly thought of this matter, so he directly asked the right-hand man beside him, "Oh, by the way, what is the meaning of the large amount of money that Liu Fuli scammed from Jianning Town?"

"Say it's a half-point with us." The master truthfully answered Master Wenxian's question.

"That's okay, it's better than nothing." Master Wen County nodded in satisfaction. He didn't want to take the money cheated by Liu Fuli, but planned to use the money on the right way. , "You remember to send some trustworthy people to bring the money back. Remember, the less people know about this, the better."

After discussing with the leaders of the town and Jianning Town, they came to the same result, and used Liu Fuli's remaining money for public works.

The amount of money Liu Fuli defrauded was astonishing, but he spent money like running water, and spent a lot of money cheated from the common people, making it impossible for the yamen to return it to the common people one-on-one.

If the money is only returned to some of the common people, it will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of the other part of the common people, which may lead to riots.

But if the yamen paid out their own money to make up for the money spent by Liu Fuli, the yamen on both sides would not be able to make up the amount by selling fields and land.

"Master, don't worry, I will personally go to Jianning Town to transport this batch of money back, and nothing will happen." The master spoke confidently.

The master, who was absolutely overconfident, never expected that on the way to transport the money back to the town, he would encounter bandits composed of a large number of refugees.

Among them, standing next to the leader of these bandits was Mao Batou, who had helped Liu Fuli cheat people out of money, "Brother, this box is full of wasted money, enough for us brothers to eat and drink!" I've been having fun for several years. As for these unsightly officials, I think we might as well..."
