Opening Six Maids

In the small courtyard of the lichang's house, a few people from Chuci listened quietly to the lichang's narration.

"···At the time, the lady looked for the old man and asked about the situation in the village, and the old man told the truth truthfully."

"The female adult walked around the village with her for a while, and then set off towards the next village."

Chu Ci looked at the chief, and asked aloud, "The chief, did you remember what a female adult looked like? How many people did she bring? What did they look like?"

The chief wiping his beard nodded and said, "The old man remembers."

"The female adult is very young, with a very heroic appearance, and there is a beauty mole on the corner of her lips."

"The lady brought three people, two men and one woman."

"A man who is younger, tall and thin, looks very energetic."

"The other man is older, chubby, with a round face, and looks very honest."

"There is also a female doll who is not tall and loves to laugh very much."

Chu Ci Wenyan and Li Yuchun glanced at each other, confirming that the chieftain met Song Qian's group.

"Chief, did you hear them coming back from the night patrol?"

Chu Ci asked aloud.

The chief shook his head, and said in a certain voice, "After those adults left, they never came back!"

"Oh?" Chu Ci looked at the chief and asked, "How can the chief be sure?"

The chief pointed to the room and said, "The day before yesterday, my granddaughter felt cold and a little feverish."

"The old man hasn't slept all night. He has been wiping his granddaughter's forehead, and he didn't hear the sound of horses hoofs in the village."

Chu Ci nodded. The night patrol in the outer city would ride a rare horse, and the sound of horse hooves was obvious when passing by the village.

If you don't sleep at night, you can definitely hear a rare horse passing by the village.

Since the chief did not hear the sound of horseshoes the night before, it proves that Song Qian's group did not come back!

Chu Ci stood up, looked at the chief and said, "Thank you for the information provided by the chief, I'll leave."

Seeing this, the chief hurried to get up, waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be polite, this is what the old man should do."

Chu Ci nodded, greeted Li Yuchun and the others to leave the elder's house, and turned on their horses to go to the next village.

Li Yuchun drove the horse and rode together with Chuci, and asked aloud, "Is there any discovery of Chuci?"

Chu Ci shook his head and said, "Song Qian and the others are definitely not missing here. Let's go to the next village and ask."

The second village, the third village...

A few people from Chuci did not stop, asking and investigating each village.

At three quarters to the hour, the sun rose and the moon rose, and Chuci and his party had already inquired about 23 villages.

All the villages in the outer city of the east of the city were asked one by one, but the results were similar, and there was no clue that Song Qian and her party were missing.

On a hill, Chuci held the reins of the Linjiao.

"Group leader, Li Baitian, on weekends, let's sit down and take a break."

Several people turned over and got off their horses, sat on the ground, took out a water bag and drank a few sips of water.

Li Yuchun looked at Chuci and said in deep thought, "Chuci, we have already asked all the villages, but we still haven't found any clues to Song Qian and the others' disappearance!"

"What shall we do next?"

Chuci was silent, holding a dead branch and making gestures on the ground.

Li Baitian thought for a while and said, "Chuci, group leader, are we looking in the wrong direction?"

"Maybe Song Qian and the others have encountered something and ran to other places?"

Li Yuchun frowned and said, "But according to the confessions of the farmers, Song Qian and the others have been patrolling the night along the official road, and haven't deviated to go elsewhere?"

Chu Ci touched the ground with a dead branch, then stood up and looked into the distance.

Pointing to a mountain col in front of him, Chu Ci asked, "Group leader, that place is the village that was on fire and deserted as Group leader Qian said?"

Li Yuchun stood up and looked in the direction that Chuci pointed at, nodded and said, "It should be there!"

From the hills where the Chuci people are located, the collaterals are prosperous in the distance, but there is still a dilapidated corner of the house courtyard.

Li Baitian joined hands and looked at the mountain col, and said, "There should be no one there anymore, right?"

"Besides, didn't Team Leader Qian also check it out? There was no trace of Team Leader Song and his party."

At the weekend, I looked at Chuci and asked, "Chuci, shall we go and see it?"

Chu Ci raised his head to look at the sky, and said in deep thought, "Wait, it's not the time yet."

Looking towards the weekend, Chu Ci said, "Weekend, you go to get some prey, let's eat something first."

"Sure." Standing up on the weekend, tidying up the Xiujian, said, "You wait for me for a while, and I will come as soon as I go."

Li Baitian touched his stomach and said with a smile, "I'm really hungry, I'm going to find some firewood."

After a stick of incense, Li Baitian and Li Baitian both returned on the weekend.

On the weekend, he beat two rabbits and one deer, and Li Baitian picked up a large bundle of firewood.

Li Yuchun drew a knife from his boots, and skillfully broke the rabbit and the deer, peeling and cramping.

Crackling!

On the hill, the flames rose.

The two rabbits and the deer all wore a wooden stick and simmered on the flames.

Tick!

Zira!

The golden-yellow grease fell on the fire and exploded in an instant, filling with a fragrance.

Guru!

It's not just someone's stomach screaming.

Li Yuchun took out salt and spices from a small cloth pocket around his waist and sprinkled them on the golden roasted meat.

The tangy aroma became stronger and stronger.

"Suck···"

"It smells good!"

Li Baitian sniffed, swallowing greedyly.

Rubbing his hands, asked eagerly, "Group leader, are you okay?"

Li Yuchun cut a piece of barbecue with a knife, put it in his mouth and tasted it, nodded and said, "It's done, let's eat it!"

"Haha... hurry up, I can't wait!"

"Give me a rabbit leg!"

"I tasted this zongzi meat, it smells so good!"

Several people were sitting on the hill, biting the golden barbecue.

As the bones were still on the ground, two rabbits and a deer all entered the belly of the Chuci people.

"Woo... so full."

Li Baitian rubbed his stomach contentedly, and he ate the most of them.

On the weekend, I picked a thin bone and opened my mouth to pick my teeth.

Li Yuchun wiped the knife clean and inserted it back into the scabbard in the boot.

Chu Ci looked at Li Yuchun and said with a smile, "Group leader, are you fully prepared?"

"It's a cleaver again, and it's salt and spice again. I'm afraid you wanted to come out for a picnic long ago?"

Li Baitian on the side said with a smile, "You don't know the Songs of Chu."

"In the past, when we went out to patrol the city at night, we would have a picnic with one or two prey."

"Yesterday it was because of the rat demon, otherwise we would be able to have a good meal!"

Hearing the words of Chu Ci gave Li Yuchun a thumbs up, and said with a smile, "As expected, he is the leader of the team, he is indeed experienced!"

Li Yuchun chuckled and shook his head when he heard the words, "Stop making trouble."

"Chu Ci, think about how to find Song Qian and others."

Looking at the Songs of Chu, Li Yuchun solemnly said, "As long as you complete this task, you will be promoted to the Bronze Medal!"

"So this task, we must complete it!"

Li Baitian and Zhouyi also stood up solemnly when they heard the words, and sat up straight and looked at Chu Ci.

"Chuci, what do you think we should do next?"

Chu Ci did not answer, but looked up at the night sky.

At this moment, the moon is in the middle of the sky, and a round moon looks like a jade plate hanging in the air.

"What time is it now?"

Li Yuchun groaned for a moment when he heard the words, and said, "As the hour, it should be ugly."

Chu Ci nodded slightly, looked at Li Yuchun and asked, "Team leader, suppose Song Qian and the others go out to patrol the city at night, and after patrolling all the villages, what time will it be when they arrive here?"

Li Yuchun was shocked, sat up straight and said, "It should be about ugly time too!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Chu Ci's mouth and said softly, "So, the time is just right!"

Li Yuchun looked at Chu Ci and said suddenly, "You let us eat and rest here, also to wait for the time?"

Chu Ci smiled and said, "One is to wait for time, and the other is to replenish physical strength for rest, don't you both not delay?"

Li Yuchun nodded suddenly, thought for a moment but frowned and said, "Even if we come here at the same time as Song Qian, can we find clues to Song Qian and their disappearance?"

Chu Ci patted Li Yuchun on the shoulder, stood up and looked at the distant mountain col.

"Group leader, why did Song Qian and the others go back to the abandoned village?"

"There is a deserted person. It stands to reason that there is no need to go there?"

Li Yuchun stood up, looked at the mountain subconsciously, and muttered, "There must be something attracting Victoria Song and the others!"
