The six families who were building new houses each sent representatives to discuss what two dishes each family would prepare before leaving the Song family yard.

While the nine households in Taojia Village were busy preparing their things for the next day, Song Bai and his wife, who had just arrived in the northern county of Qingzhou, came up empty-handed.

"You said that group of people from the bodyguard bureau have left this county a few days ago? Are you sure that the group of people who left are the Dou family's bodyguard bureau?" Song Bai asked while standing in front of the counter of the medical clinic.

The medicine boy nodded: "It's the Dou family escort agency. They all have the word "Dou" sewn on their clothes. I know them. A group of them have lived in the backyard of our medical center for more than half a month. The injuries on their bodies have healed in the past few days, so they went to Gone south."

He looked doubtfully at Song Bai and Dou Xiaomei behind him and said:

"You said you were going to which county in the south to find relatives? Could it be that you two are the ones you're looking for?"

"Can you please see if they are wearing these clothes?"

Dou Xiaomei opened one of the bags she was carrying, took out a pair of gray clothes, spread them out for the medicine boy to look at.

The medicine boy took one look at it and nodded without saying a word: "With these clothes, it seems you are the ones they are looking for."

"What a coincidence. If you had come a few days earlier or they had left a few days later, you might have bumped into each other."

Dou Xiaomei frowned and looked at the medical center with some regret.

They didn't stop much along the way. They met the county town on the way and went to the county town to ask some questions.

No one from the out-of-town escort agency had ever entered those counties, so where had her parents gone?

"May I ask, brother, how are the injuries of the Dou family escorts? Are there any missing arms or legs?"

While Dou Xiaomei was stunned, Song Bai asked aloud.

The medicine boy's eyes wandered for a moment, and he was about to make up something to deceive them, but he felt that if these two people met the people from the escort agency, they would also know the truth.

He pointed at his arms and sighed: "There are two men, each missing an arm. There are also a few people with serious injuries on their hands and legs. Even if they are cured, it will affect their normal lives."

"There are no others missing arms or legs, but everyone has some injuries. They said they came from Jingzhou, so it's good to be alive."

"As long as you live, there is always hope, right?"

The Yaotong's words brought the stunned Dou Xiaomei back.

She said in a hoarse voice: "Do you know the names of the two missing arms?"

The medicine boy sneered and said, "I didn't remember that. I don't live in the backyard. I don't even come to the hospital after work every day."

"Excuse me."

Song Bai took ten coins and put them on the counter.

The two walked out of the hospital and found a stall to sit down.

After Song Bai nodded, he looked at Dou Xiaomei.

At this moment, Dou Xiaomei looked at the passers-by walking on the street. A few days ago, people from her escort agency might have been walking on this street.

But now, she has lost news about them again...

Song Bai held Dou Xiaomei's hand and said: "If we can't find it for half a month, we will search for another half month. Didn't the medicine boy say that? Dad and the others are going south. They must know that we will go to Lanyang. We might run into them along the way."

"Will it take another half month to find it?" Dou Xiaomei felt a little uneasy in her heart.

If the people from the escort agency were on the same route as them, there was no reason why they couldn't run into each other when they came.

Could it be that they took a detour to other counties?

But there are people selling maps of Qingzhou City in the county, so there is no reason for them to take the wrong route.

"If you can find it, you can definitely find it!"

Song Bai consoled him: "Eat the noodles first, and then we'll look at the map and figure out where dad will take everyone."

After the two finished eating the noodles, they were not in a hurry to leave.

He just sat on the stall and spread out the map. The stall owner was not in a hurry to drive people away. He just listened when he came over.

I'm looking for someone, and there's not much business at this time, so what if he gives me some convenience?

"We have searched all the county towns all the way from Lanyang County. Logically speaking, if Dad and the others follow the map, they will definitely choose this route, because this is the closest road from here to Lanyang County. .”

Song Bai followed the map and pointed from the landmark of Lanyang County to here. Dou Xiaomei nodded in agreement.

She answered: "But we didn't see an escort agency or even a large team along the way."

Song Bai nodded and said: "So the possibility of us returning to the original route and meeting someone from the escort agency is very low. We can only look at the other two roads."

He pointed to one of the marked paths, which was particularly thick. "They're more likely to go this way."

Dou Xiaomei looked at his hand and asked in confusion: "You mean my parents will go to Fucheng?"

"That's right." Song Bai nodded: "Except for going to Fucheng, I can't think of any reason why the escort agency didn't take the same road we came from."

The southernmost part of Qingzhou is Lanyang County, and the northernmost part is the county where they are now, and the capital is not on the straight line between these two counties.

Therefore, when the nine families went from here to Lanyang County, they did not pass through Fucheng.

"But what are they doing in Fucheng?" Dou Xiaomei was puzzled.

Her family knew that Li Shan and his wife were in Nanyang County. What's more, according to Zhang Ruoxi, Du Feng showed up when the Dou family escort agency was hired and told the people in the escort agency that the nine members of the Song family would definitely go to Lanyang County. .

Then if the people from the escort agency want to come to them, they will definitely go to Lanyang County and not take a detour to Fucheng.

Dou Xiaomei thought about it again and again, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

Is it? !

She looked at Song Bai and asked, "Before we fled, we went to the escort agency. At that time, my parents said where they were going to deliver goods?"

Before fleeing?

Song Bai thought about it and said categorically: "I didn't tell you. I just told us it was in the south. What do you mean... they just want to send the goods to Qingzhou Fucheng?"

"Other than that, I can't think of any other reasons." Dou Xiaomei nodded.

If it weren't for this reason, her parents would definitely go to Lanyang County to look for her.

She remembered that there was not a lot of goods to be escorted this time, but her parents sent everyone from the escort agency, which showed the importance of the goods.

If this batch of goods is safely delivered to Qingzhou Fucheng, the escort agency will definitely receive a large sum of money.

And this reward will also be the capital for the escort agency to settle down in the south.

"In that case, let's go to Fucheng!" Song Bai put away the map.

The two bought some dry food nearby and fruits to quench their thirst on the road, then got on their horses and set off.

Qingzhou Prefecture.

Song Huai, who reported to Yunjin Academy ten days ago, has already recovered his mentality and is studying with peace of mind.

Everything about this Qingzhou capital was good, but there was one thing that made him feel a little uncomfortable.

That means the food here is not to his liking.

Coming from Jingzhou, Song Huai ate with his family all the way. Even when he arrived in Lanyang, he ate at home.

But now that I am studying in an academy alone, the food cannot be compared with what I have at home.

The food here is mostly sweet.

Even when eating porridge, some sugar water should be added to it.

He can't get used to it.
