lucky star girl

Chapter 89 Tracking
Dong Shu was puzzled, but nothing showed on her face.

They didn't know the name of the shopkeeper until the shopkeeper got up from the ground at their request.

"He Ce, I'm a native of Yi Town, and this shop was also passed down from my ancestors." When He Ce said this, he didn't look very happy. He didn't open his mouth when he met the two noblemen before him, so he continued. : "I don't know if the two nobles have heard that our Yi Town has the custom of offering sacrifices to mountain gods?"

"I've heard it a little bit." Xu Shiqiu answered He Ce's words directly, fearing that his little lady would say more.

Dong Shu didn't know what Xu Shiqiu was thinking, but after hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, she really didn't say anything.

However, the two nobles in front of He Ce did not seem to want to talk to each other, and this time he explained clearly about Yizhen's sacrifice to the mountain god.

"Yi Town is close to the mountains, and there has always been a legend of being blessed by the mountain god. According to legend, in the past, to worship the mountain god, only a girl with ingenuity and ingenuity had to cook four kinds of meals to worship the mountain god. But for some reason, in recent decades, the meals for the mountain god have changed more and more. bigger and bigger.

Ten years ago, the mountain outside Yi Town caught fire, and it burned for a long time before it was extinguished by the whole town.Since the fire, Yi Town has had a new mayor.After he took the position of mayor, he made a rule that every time the mountain god was sacrificed, the girl who prepared the meal must stand guard at the foot of the mountain overnight.

At first the mayor and the people were unwilling, fearing that there would be accidents if the girls stayed at the foot of the mountain overnight, but the mayor said that if everyone was unwilling, the mountain god might get angry again.

Just when the townspeople were hesitating, another fire broke out on the mountain.Because of this, the people in the town were finally persuaded.

From that year onwards, the girl who was going to pay homage to the mountain god was thrown alone at the foot of the mountain.When the girl's parents went to look for the girl the next day, they found that not only the girl was gone, but also the food to worship the mountain god was gone.

Because of this, the people in the town believed the words of the mayor.I believed it at first. "

Speaking of this, He Ce sighed, and then continued: "But three years ago, because of my curiosity, I hid in a tree when paying homage to the mountain god. Originally, I just wanted to see the true face of the mountain god, but who knows? I fell asleep.

When he woke up later, he didn't see the mountain god at all. Only the mayor and his two sons took advantage of the night to take away the girl and all the food used to worship the mountain god.

I was so frightened and stupid at the time, I didn't dare to move at all.After returning home, I kept wanting to tell the story about it, but after trying several times, no one believed that the mayor would do such a thing.

Originally, I thought that this matter would never have anything to do with me, but I didn't expect that when the town chose the most ingenious girl this year, my fiancée would be selected.

In desperation, I could only tell my fiancée about this matter, she believed me, and finally hid it directly.Since my fiancée hid, the mayor came to find me several times, and revealed several times in words that my fiancée should not belong to me. "

Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu didn't interrupt He Ce when he spoke, until he finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu raised his hand and patted Dong Shu's hand that was holding his arm tightly.

"The two girls in the back?"

Xu Shiqiu looked at He Ce when he opened his mouth, and He Ce, who was still full of sadness just now, looked up at him in shock.

"My lord, you..." He Ce said nervously, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

"I do know something about this." Xu Shiqiu guessed what He Ce was thinking when he saw He Ce's expression, "I have a family brother, a husband and a few servants. I heard that there was something wrong in Yi Town two days ago. Came to explore the way, but was detained."

When Xu Shiqiu looked at He Ce and said this, he kept staring into his eyes.

As long as He Ce shows a slight look of something wrong in his eyes, he will directly take him down.

He Ce didn't expect Xu Shiqiu to know about this, but after being surprised for a short time, he quickly returned to his senses and said, "The two girls after that also went down to inform their families. Their families were reluctant to part with the girls at home. I believe it." After saying this, He Ce paused for a moment, and then continued: "Did the young master find out something?"

He Ce asked cautiously, for fear that Xu Shiqiu would say something that would disappoint him.

"It seems that you have done a good deed." After Xu Shiqiu looked at He Ce's comment, he looked at him and continued: "I don't know much, but I didn't expect that my wife would point to a shop at random, and it would Met you who happened to know about this."

Xu Shiqiu is now sure in his heart that his little lady is blessed.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that she randomly pointed to a shop, which was the person who happened to know about it.

After hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, He Ce believed him. He couldn't believe it. He had already told his biggest secret to a person who could be regarded as extraordinary at first glance.

If this person is not trustworthy, then he can only abandon the shop at home and quietly leave Yi Town with his fiancée.

Naturally, Xu Shiqiu would not disappoint He Ce. He told He Ce that he would come to see him tonight, and then left his shop with Dong Shu.

Dong Shu watched Xu Shiqiu take her away, looked up at him, and was about to ask, but who knew that Xu Shiqiu took her into other shops.

After Xu Shiqiu led Dong Shu to visit dozens of shops, he took Dong Shu back.

Dong Shu kept holding back her words and didn't ask Xu Shiqiu, until on the way back to the inn, she finally found a stranger following behind her.

"Sister?" Dong Shu nervously grabbed Xu Shiqiu's arm, trying to tell him that someone was following him, but she didn't dare to speak.

Xu Shiqiu had actually been paying attention to Dong Shu all the time, so after Dong Shu finally found out that someone was following her, he guessed Dong Shu's reaction.

"It's okay, don't be afraid." Xu Shiqiu was sure that the person following behind came when they visited the third shop, and this person was too straightforward, so he spotted him as soon as he appeared.

As soon as Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she knew that Xianggong had already noticed the people following behind her, so she immediately felt relieved.

When Xu Shiqiu returned to the inn, he didn't lead Dong Shu back to the house, but went to find Mrs. Xu, and told her about meeting He Ce at the Rouge Shop.

"Mother, do you think this has something to do with the mayor of Yi Town?"

Xu Shiqiu looked at Mrs. Xu who had just finished speaking, then the old lady looked at him and nodded, "In a town, the mayor covers the sky with one hand. If it wasn't him, who else could it be? I just don't know, this town is I'm so bold, why is there someone behind me to back me up." After Mrs. Xu said this, she paused for a moment before looking at Xu Shiqiu and continuing: "Have you thought about how to solve this matter?"

After Xu Shiqiu heard the old lady Xu's words, he said without hesitation, "Night detective. Find out what's going on with the mayor's house, and then find a way to meet fourth brother and Shi Yuan."

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Mrs. Xu immediately looked at Dong Shu beside Xu Shiqiu and asked, "Are you going to visit at night alone, or do you want to take Dong with you?"

Xu Shiqiu didn't expect his mother to ask this question suddenly, he was stunned for a moment before he said, "I'll go by myself."

As soon as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, Dong Shu looked at him and said, "Sanggong really wants to go alone?" After saying this, Dong Shu hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "Didn't Xianggong say before that only When I'm here, won't you affect other people around you? If I don't go, what will you do if you affect other people?"

Dong Shu asked seriously, but Xu Shiqiu felt very uncomfortable when he heard her words.

He has nothing but ability, but now he is bound by this matter.

Before, he only thought that after returning to Beijing, he could always take the little lady with him when he saw other people, but now that he encountered such a thing, he was really reluctant to take the little lady with him.

The old lady Xu kept looking at Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu. Seeing that Xu Shiqiu was in trouble at this time, she sighed, "I will send someone to handle tonight's affairs."

As soon as Mrs. Xu opened her mouth, Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu looked at her in shock and puzzlement.

Being watched by her son and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Xu didn't panic at all, "You don't have to worry, since I have found out that the breakthrough of this matter is in the town, I will definitely be able to solve this matter."

Hearing Mrs. Xu's words, Xu Shiqiu didn't know what to say even if he wanted to speak.

Because of today's incident, he is very sad now.

He couldn't figure it out, if he encountered such a risky thing in the future, could he just stay at home and wait for others to do it?
