lucky star girl

Chapter 88 Help
Dong Shu didn't know that the staff at her Xianggongguan inn guessed that there was a problem in Yizhen. When Ling Xiang came back and reported that she had agreed with the cook that some snacks would be delivered later, she forgot what happened just now and began to look forward to it. Desserts from the cook.

When I stayed in Xiahe Village, the cooks in the Xu family's big kitchen made exquisite meals, but they didn't have many dim sum.

What Dong Shu didn't expect was that since leaving Xiahe Village, the cook has made more and more styles of dim sum, especially in the past few days, there is no repeated style of dim sum.

Xu Shiqiu was originally worried that an accident in Yizhen would make the little lady worry, but now seeing that she had forgotten what happened before because of Ling Xiang's few words, she shook her head and didn't say anything more.

The servant who went out to inquire about the news did not come back slowly. After Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu left the lobby and returned to the house, the servant who went out to inquire about the news had already brought the news back.

Ling Xiang took the opportunity of going to the kitchen to get some snacks, and brought back the news of the servants' inquiries.

"Every three years in Yi Town, there is a sacrifice to the mountain god. The most outstanding girl in the town is selected, and the girl is dressed up and taken to the mountain. If the girl is still there after one night, it proves that the mountain god has not taken a fancy to the girl, and the girl's family can send her to the mountain. Bring this girl back.

But in the last three sacrifices to the mountain god, the girl disappeared overnight.

Originally, the most important thing to pay homage to the mountain god was some melons, fruits and livestock, and the people in the town were willing.But since the girl disappeared after several times of offering sacrifices to the mountain god, it became more and more difficult to find the girl every time offering sacrifices to the mountain god.

And the three girls who disappeared this time are the three girls who were selected at the beginning of this year.There are rumors that they were unwilling at first, because they were unwilling, so they disappeared suddenly, it must be that the mountain god got angry and was taken away by the mountain god.

And because the three girls selected before have disappeared one after another, so this year's memorial service may not be carried out as scheduled, and now the people in the town are a little worried. "

Ling Xiang looked at Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu after they had finished speaking, then looked at them hesitantly and said, "My lord, madam, are these three girls really taken away by the mountain god?"

"How is it possible." Xu Shiqiu shook his head as soon as Ling Xiang finished speaking. Seeing Ling Xiang's worried face, he smiled and said, "Where is there a mountain god that needs a girl to pay homage to, melons, fruits and livestock are good."

When Xu Shiqiu heard Ling Xiang's words just now, he felt that the disappearance of these three girls must be related to Yizhen's triennial sacrifice to the mountain god.

Dong Shu obediently sat aside eating snacks when Ling Xiang spoke. After Ling Xiang spoke, she was shocked and forgot to eat snacks.

After hearing Xu Shiqiu's words now, after swallowing the snack in her mouth, Dong Shu hurriedly looked at him and asked, "Sir, what about Mr. Shi?"

"Yuanhang and the others must have crashed into something accidentally, otherwise they wouldn't have been detained by the mayor." Xu Shiqiu said this, but he was thinking about how to see Xu Jie and Shi Yuan in his heart. He can take the next step.

And the mayor, according to what Ling Xiang said just now, the girls who disappeared after the three previous sacrifices only happened after the mayor presided over the sacrifices.

Xu Shiqiu felt that their breakthrough this time might be the mayor.

But now that he had already guessed that Xu Jie and Shi Yuan's detention had something to do with Yizhen's sacrifice, then Xu Shiqiu also had some confidence in his heart.

Dong Shu didn't know if her husband had guessed anything, but when she saw him frowning and thinking deeply, she didn't speak, and just sat beside him.

Dong Shu originally thought that Xu Shiqiu would at least have to think for a while, but she didn't expect that after he waved Ling Xiang away, she looked at herself and said, "Madam, do you want to go out for a stroll?"

"go out?"

Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu with some confusion. Although she was not smart, she could guess from the innkeeper's reaction just now that if they made extra moves, they might be targeted.

Thinking of this, Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Sir, if we go out like this directly, will it... um, startle the snake?"

Dong Shu didn't know that the word she thought of was correct, but after she finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu looked at her and nodded, "That's right, we are going to scare the snake out now."

Dong Shu really didn't know what Xu Shiqiu wanted to do, but they couldn't ignore Xu Jie, Shi Yuan and the other servants at this moment. If they wanted to leave, they had to save them and go together.

"Then what do I need to do?" After Dong Shu finally looked at Xu Shiqiu and asked this question, Xu Shiqiu didn't answer her, but just looked at her with a smile on his lips.

Dong Shu didn't understand what Xu Shiqiu meant, so she could do whatever Xu Shiqiu said.

After changing into two more expensive jewelry, Dong Shu followed Xu Shiqiu directly out of the inn.

The clerk at the inn was greeting the guests, seeing them coming down the stairs, he hurriedly approached them, "Master and Madam are going out?"

"Well, go out and have a look. I heard that Yi Town is very lively this year." Xu Shiqiu spoke directly, and after saying this, he took Dong Shu away without looking at the waiter's expression.

After the waiter watched Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu leave, he returned to the inn and didn't stay for a while, so he took the opportunity of going to the backyard to pick up things and walked to the back door of the inn.

The back door of the inn faces an alley, and there are many ordinary people setting up stalls in the alley.
The man came to a vegetable stall and said in a low voice: "The son who stayed at the store just now took his wife out again. You go to deliver the letter. I don't know what this person is here for. It's inconvenient to leave. Let that Send someone to keep an eye on them."

After the clerk finished giving orders to the man, he went straight back to the inn to continue working, and did not stay here for long.

The commoner man who got his news nodded at him, then directly packed up the unsold vegetables on the stall, and left the backyard of the inn without looking back.

Neither the inn clerk nor the clothed man knew that someone was staring at them while they were talking.

When the clothed man left, someone still followed him not too far away.

Here, after Xu Shiqiu took Dong Shu out, he went directly to the busiest street in the town.

"Miss, do you want anything?" Xu Shiqiu looked down at Dong Shu who was beside him, and seeing her eyes were staring around, he asked directly.

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's question, Dong Shu raised her head and glanced at him, then shook her head with a tense jaw and said, "No."

Dong Shu really didn't want anything at this meeting, she just thought that she was just coming out with her husband today to 'beat the grass to startle the snake'.

It was the first time I did this, and I was so nervous that I didn't have the time to look around at the shops.

Xu Shiqiu didn't expect his little lady to be so nervous. After squeezing her palm, he said, "Don't be nervous, let's take a look."

Saying this, Xu Shiqiu looked at the little lady and said, "Which shop does the lady want to see?"

After Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's question, she pursed her lips and smiled shyly, then raised her finger to an inconspicuous Rouge shop and said, "I want to go there and have a look."

Hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Shiqiu didn't say much, but just led Dong Shu towards the shop.

Dong Shu didn't expect that her husband-in-law actually led her directly to this shop. She nervously looked up at Xu Shiqiu, and seeing that he wasn't unhappy, she couldn't help but lighten her steps.

After Dong Shu followed Xu Shiqiu into this rouge shop, her eyes involuntarily fell on the rouge powder in the shop.

The rouge and gouache in Yizhen are not high-quality, but Dong Shu seldom visits such a shop, knowing that the goods in the shop will not be used by herself, but she still attracts her attention.

Seeing that Dong Shu's eyes were attracted by the rouge gouache, Xu Shiqiu also looked at the rouge gouache in the shop.

Originally, Xu Shiqiu was just looking at it casually, but when he looked up, he found that the store owner was actually a young man.

At first Xu Shiqiu didn't pay much attention to the young man, but the young man didn't get angry when he found out that Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu had no plans to buy.

Xu Shiqiu owns a store in his own hands, and he knows that as a store owner, he would not be happy to meet customers like himself who only want to see but not buy.

But the shopkeeper in front of him didn't seem to care, his eyes looked out for a while, and then looked back involuntarily for a while, but he didn't focus on him and his little lady.

"Shopkeeper, are these the only goods in your store?" Xu Shiqiu looked at the storekeeper and asked casually. Seeing that he didn't respond to what he said, he took two steps forward and continued to ask: "Shopkeeper, do you hear me?" until I speak?"

Xu Shiqiu's action was not sudden, but the storekeeper who had been distracted by Xu Shiqiu's voice suddenly panicked and said, "What!" After saying this, the storekeeper looked at Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu in front of him.

Seeing that they were wearing clothes that he had never seen before, the storekeeper was slightly startled, and after taking another look at the jewelry Dong Shu was wearing, the young storekeeper clenched his fists.

Dong Shu was still looking at the goods in the store, but she didn't pay attention when Xu Shiqiu spoke, until she heard the storekeeper speak, and then realized that he was staring at her.

"Does the store have something on your mind?" Dong Shu looked at the store's casual opening, seeing his bright eyes on her instantly after saying this, she blurted out for some reason: "If you have something on your mind, go and solve it first, and wait to solve it Come back to open the store later, otherwise you won’t even know that the goods in the store have been stolen.”

Dong Shu just said it casually, and Xu Shiqiu shook his head dotingly when he heard her words.

But what neither of them expected was that after hearing Dong Shu's words, the shopkeeper suddenly gave Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu a 'plop' and knelt down after being dazed.

"What are you doing?" Dong Shu looked at the shopkeeper and opened his mouth, seeing him kneeling and unable to get up, pulling Xu Shiqiu to leave.

But just when they were about to make a move, the storekeeper finally said, "I beg your son and madam to help the villain take one person out of Yi Town, and the villain is willing to give all his wealth."

Dong Shu really didn't expect that there would be a day when she and her husband would be asked for help by a stranger. She looked at the shopkeeper kneeling in front of her, and wanted to speak but didn't know what to say.

He looked up at his husband in a daze, and saw that he looked at the shopkeeper without opening his mouth. After moving his lips, he still didn't speak in the end.

Xu Shiqiu was shocked at this moment. He didn't expect that something would happen when he took the little lady out and the little lady pointed at the shop at random.

And he had an intuition that what the shopkeeper asked for might be related to the three girls who had disappeared before.

Thinking of this, Xu Shiqiu looked directly at the shopkeeper and asked, "Let me guess, the person you asked us to take away is a girl?"

When Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she thought he was making random guesses.

Unexpectedly, in the next moment, the shopkeeper said in shock: "How could you know, my lord?"

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Dong Shu looked directly at Xu Shiqiu, her crescent eyes were full of confusion.

She didn't know why she and her husband met such a thing when they casually visited a shop.

Is it possible that the thing that Xiang Jing said about himself as "blessed" is actually true?
