Ninth Uncle Shi Shaojian

Chapter 125 The Missing Sister
You can't believe a word of Qiu Sheng's words.It's only been one night, and I have completely forgotten what I said last night.After Shi Shaojian practiced, he went to wake him up and prepared to go back to Renjia Town.This guy froze for a while, turned over and fell asleep again. It is impossible to go home, and he will not go back if he dies.

Sure enough, the dog can't change Chixiang, I hope that Qiusheng will not get into trouble, get married and start a business with peace of mind, start a new life, and let it be in the next life.

If he doesn't leave, Shi Shaojian intends to leave.Before leaving, he went to Aunt Cane's Taoist hall to bid farewell to Uncle Jiu and Aunt Cane.

It was not the right time, the old couple were eating, Aunt Cane held up a spoon, coaxing Uncle Jiu to drink the soup like a child.Seeing Shi Shaojian suddenly, Uncle Jiu almost choked to death from the soup.

"Shaojian, you're here. Have you eaten yet? If you haven't eaten, let's have some together." Uncle Jiu invited with a flustered look on his face.

"Uncle Cane, don't you mind having an extra pair of chopsticks?"

"I don't mind, I don't mind." Aunt Cane got her wish and stayed by Senior Brother Lin's side every day.

Shi Shaojian sat down, picked up his chopsticks to eat, and said as he ate, "Uncle Nine, Uncle Martial, I'm going back to Renjia Town today, and I'm here to talk to you."

Both of them are uncles, and it is difficult to distinguish between calling them uncle. If you call them uncle Lin, you are afraid that the book friends will say the number of words in the old iron water. It is better to call them Uncle Jiu, which sounds nice and has one less word.

"Are you going to leave within a few days?"

"You know I can't be idle, there's nothing going on here in Taiping Town, I want to go to Shanghai to find Tingting." Shi Shaojian said.

"If that's the case, I won't keep you. I will send you a letter in a few days to bring Tingting to Taiping Town for dinner."

Shi Shaojian looked at Uncle Jiu, then at Aunt Cane, and asked with a smile, "Are you going to have a wedding?"

Aunt Cane shook her head, "It's too troublesome to hold a wedding, and we monks are not into it. What does the brother mean, please invite the elders and brothers to come over for a meal and collect some red envelopes by the way..."

"Junior Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?" Uncle Jiu shouted unhappily.

Aunt Cane grabbed Uncle Jiu's arm and shook it aggrievedly, "Brother, I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing."

"Be careful next time."

"Ah."

"Shaojian, you are my nephew, Tingting is my apprentice, they are all juniors, you just come over to eat, don't give red envelopes, especially big red envelopes, I will be angry if you give two." Uncle Jiu exhorted solemnly.

Shi Shaojian's face was full of black lines, you specifically emphasized the red envelope, big red envelope, give two copies, don't you want me to give it according to this specification?

When listening to Uncle Jiu, you have to listen backwards.

"Uncle Jiu, don't worry, Tingting and I will definitely come empty-handed, we didn't eat anything the day before, and our stomachs are also empty."

"Ahem." Uncle Jiu choked.

"Are you OK?"

"It's okay, Shaojian, it's getting late, you should start your journey early."

"I'm not full yet..."

"Young people should control their diet. Eating too much is not good for your health. It is easy to gain weight. Exercise more. Go, I won't send you off."

Shi Shaojian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, this really was Uncle Jiu, his skin was thicker than the city wall, he pretended not to understand, and took his rice bowl to fill his stomach first.After eating, I drank a few more cups of tea and left Taiping Town after eating and drinking enough.

Taiping Town is located on the north bank of the main channel of the province, with frequent ships and convenient water transportation.Shi Shaojian took a boat from Taiping Town to the provincial capital, and then transferred to a passenger ship from the provincial capital to go directly to Shanghai. He drifted on the sea for several days before arriving at Taikoo Wharf in Shanghai.

After getting off the boat, Shi Shaojian got into a rickshaw and told the driver to go to the French Concession, then he closed his eyes and rested his mind, without any intention of appreciating the prosperity and grandeur of Shanghai.The current Shanghai is not the big Shanghai that will be 20 years later, and it has not yet reached the peak of the Republic of China period. For Shi Shaojian, the future generation, there is nothing to see.

The streets in the French Concession are wide and flat, with plane trees planted on both sides of the road, and the environment is quiet.The rickshaw stopped at the door of a two-story western-style building, Shi Shaojian got out of the car to pay, and walked towards the iron gate.

A 40- to [-]-year-old maid was watering flowers in the yard. When she saw Shi Shaojian appearing outside the door, she took a closer look, put down the kettle, and ran over to open the door.

"You are uncle?"

Shi Shaojian asked in surprise, "You know me?"

"Master showed me your picture."

"Eldest sister has good eyesight, she can recognize me by looking at the photos." Shi Shaojian praised, the photography technology of that era is worth mentioning.

"My uncle is a good-looking talent, it's easy to recognize."

Shi Shaojian asked as he walked, "Tingting, is Zhuzhu at home?"

"The two girls have been away from home for several days."

"Where's my lord?"

"Going out and coming back before dinner."

"Okay, you are busy with your work, don't worry about me, I will walk around."

"Ok."

After dismissing the maid, Shi Shaojian walked into the mansion and took a look around. He thought it was pretty good. No wonder Ren Zhuzhu said that Mr. Ren spent a lot of thought on buying this house last year.

After sitting on the boat for several days, Young Master Shi was a little tired and fell asleep on the sofa. He was not woken up until Master Ren came back to talk to the maid.

"Father, are you back?" Shi Shaojian sat up and greeted.

Master Ren's expression was a little unnatural, "Shaojian, why did you come to Shanghai suddenly? I didn't say anything in advance, I will send someone to pick you up at the pier."

"What are you going to pick up? I'm such an old man, are you still afraid that I'll get lost?" Shi Shaojian smiled and asked, "Where are Tingting and Zhuzhu? The elder sister outside the door said they haven't come back for several days." Now, where did you go crazy?"

Master Ren's body trembled, and the haze in his eyes flashed away, "I said I went to Tianjin, and I will be back in a few days."

"Two wild girls, they ran so far, today they have a day off, tomorrow I will go to Tianjin to find them..."

Master Ren hurriedly stopped: "Don't go looking for..."

Shi Shaojian was taken aback, looked suspiciously at Master Ren, and asked in a deep voice: "Father, are you hiding something from me? Did something happen to Tingting and Zhuzhu?"

"No, don't think too much." Master Ren shook his head.

Shi Shaojian didn't say a word, just staring at Master Ren.Master Ren felt uncomfortable under his gaze, smiled wryly, and regretted, "I still can't hide it from you, Tingting and Zhuzhu are missing."

"Missing?" Shi Shaojian narrowed his eyes, "When did you disappear?"

"It disappeared on the second day after arriving in Shanghai..."

Shi Shaojian suddenly remembered how Ren Tingting and Ren Zhuzhu behaved at the pier before they left for Shanghai. They were not sad because they were reluctant to leave Renjiazhen and Shi Shaojian. They knew that they would disappear, and that was the last farewell.

A feeling of uneasiness welled up in his heart, and Shi Shaojian felt his voice trembling, "Did they feel strange on the way to Shanghai? Did they leave anything behind?"

"Leave a letter."

"give it to me."

"The letter is upstairs, I'll get it."

Looking at Mr. Ren who hurried upstairs, Shi Shaojian was as motionless as a sculpture. He was very calm, so calm that it was terrifying. Every bit of what happened to the three of them in the past came to mind clearly.

"The body of Xuanyin..."

"Fengcun, Tingting was unscathed by the attack of the Soul Swallowing Beast's Soul Voice. After that day, she began to dream, and her mood seemed to have changed a lot..."

"When Zhuzhu and Tingting met, Tingting was in pain, and she was trying hard to restrain herself..."

"I have a bad feeling..."

"The strange behavior of Tingting and Zhuzhu before leaving..."

"Everything has been forewarned, I was too negligent." Shi Shaojian clenched his fists, his eyes were cold, "The Ren family, the Ren family, I really can't think of anything other than this place..."

At this time, Master Ren went downstairs with a letter.
