Song female man

Shunniang didn't wait for the old lady to finish, and asked her impatiently how long it had been.

With tears in her eyes, Liu told Shunniang that it had been almost an hour.

Shunniang asked her sister-in-law and others how long it had been since they went out to look for Kecheng, and who went there.Mrs. Liu said that after more than half an hour, the people who went to look for him were Xie Yi and Xie Erniang next door, and two or three guys from their butcher shop, and the Liang family was the Liang family.

"Then who will take Xie Sanlang and Xiu'er?" Shun Niang never forgot to care about Xie Sanlang and Xiu'er. She was afraid that Xie's family and Liang's family would help Xie's family find Kecheng, and if her own children had another accident, they would be in trouble. up.

Mrs. Liu told Shunniang that Xiu'er was taken by her grandmother, and Xie Sanlang was taken by Mrs. Wu.

Shunniang picked up the bag of candied fruit on the ground, handed it to Mrs. Liu, and went outside. Mrs. Liu asked her if she was going to look for Kecheng too.

"I'll go out and have a look and ask." Shunniang said, she hurried out, and the words Shitou said involuntarily popped up in her mind. She really didn't expect that she had a chat with Shitou about kidnappers more than an hour ago. The topic, this just got home but the achievements are gone.

However, she doesn't think that if Kecheng disappears, he must be kidnapped by a kidnapper. After all, if a child disappears, he is kidnapped. The kidnapper either takes revenge or extorts money.If it was kidnapping, Shunniang would basically rule out extorting money. After all, Xi's family just moved here from outside, and the family had no money at all, and everyone in the town knew it.The remaining situation is revenge, and I believe everyone in the town knows who has a grudge against the Xi family.Shunniang also thought that the Zhao family and his son were usually shopkeepers, which fit the characteristics of the kidnappers that Shitou said. In addition, the Zhao family had an enmity with the Xi family. Shunniang felt that the first person to suspect was the Zhao family and his son.

But she still had to go out, go to the door of the house, and ask the neighbors, if they saw any familiar people passing this street in the next morning, or if they saw a peddler selling puppets or sugar figurines.

There is also a guy at the Xie's butcher shop who is watching the stall. This guy Shun Niang has a good relationship with him. He is Hei Wa who came to help move when he moved.

She walked over to him and asked him if he had been guarding the meat stall the next afternoon. Hei Wa also knew that the little boy next door was gone, so as soon as Shun Niang came over, he first comforted her, saying that the neighbors in this neighborhood were all He was helping to find the child, and he was sure to find it, and then he answered Shunniang's words, saying that he had been in front of the butcher's stall in the afternoon.

Shunniang asked him again when he saw Kecheng playing with Xie Sanlang, did he see that when the two children went home to drink water, did Kecheng enter the house.

Hei Wa thought for a while and said, he saw two little children playing in front of Xi's house, but then someone came to cut the meat, so he went to work on the business. It's a child.Not only did he not see Kecheng, but he also did not see Xie Sanlang.

Hearing what he said, Shun Niang frowned, and used this to speculate that after Kecheng and Xie Sanlang separated, they disappeared without entering the house, and the time was very short.Because if Kecheng went into the house to find water to drink, sister-in-law would definitely see him, but sister-in-law didn't see him at all.

Originally, the two little boys were playing in front of Xi's house, but it was only a few steps away for Ke Cheng to go home, so it meant that an accident happened within these few steps, and it was silent.If someone you don't know snatches the child suddenly, the child will definitely cry. Even if the child's mouth and nose are covered, the child will not make a sound, but the child will struggle, which will also attract the attention of people around, so people who do not know There is also little chance of snatching the child.What is left is that the child is attracted by something and follows others. People around them think it is normal to see this situation, and no one will pay attention to it and stop it.And this kind of situation is divided into the seduction of mature people, and the other is the salesman who sells puppets or sugar figures.

So, Shunniang immediately asked Heiwa if she could see any peddlers passing this street in the next afternoon.

Hei Wa didn't even think about it and said, "Yes, there are usually three or five shopkeepers passing by on this street in a day, and I also saw two passing by in the afternoon."

Shunniang asked as if to verify: "Are there any candy dolls among them? By the way, you know them, for example, in our Yangliu Town, or around the town?"

Hei Wa thought about it seriously and said that he didn't pay attention to what they were selling. Besides, it seemed that the people in the past were not familiar faces. It seemed that they often sold goods in Yangliu Town. If they were familiar faces, he would definitely have noticed.

Shunniang couldn't help but feel happy when she heard this, she thought, in this way, she can probably be sure that Kecheng was not abducted by a strange peddler. Many people are used to seeing him, and he also noticed that there is such a two or three-year-old boy in Xi's family.The timing was right today, he passed by, Kecheng and Xie Sanlang were playing in front of Xi’s house, and there were no adults around, when Xie Sanlang went home to drink water and left, he saw Hei Wa at the butcher’s stall doing business, so he took advantage of it. When the time has passed, take a sugar figurine or a puppet to lure Kecheng away, lead Kecheng to the alley about ten meters ahead to the north of the town, and then tie him up and take him away.

At this time, it had been almost an hour since Kecheng disappeared, that is, two hours. If the shopkeeper was carrying things, he should not be able to walk for twenty miles.

More than 20 miles to the north of Yangliu Town, there is a small village named Xujiazhuang. There are no other villages, and they are all large crops.Thinking of this, Shunniang is almost sure that the shopkeeper who kidnapped Kecheng is probably going to rest in Xujiazhuang, or that the shopkeeper is from Xujiazhuang.After resting overnight, the kidnapper will most likely sell Kecheng elsewhere tomorrow.But if the peddler who abducted Catcher just took Catcher to Xujiazhuang and sold it to a middleman who lived in Xujiazhuang, and the middleman bought Catcher and then sold it through other channels, it would be hard to get it back.

Thinking of this, she decided to act immediately, took a sharp knife from the stall of Xie's butcher shop, held it in her hand, and told Hei Wa to lend her the knife, and also told Hei Wa that if Xie Yi came back, Let him take someone to catch Zhao's father and son in front of Guo Lizheng, and let them tell that there are shopkeepers nearby in Yangliu Town they know, because it is very likely that Kecheng was abducted by them, or They were abducted by the shopkeepers they knew in Yangliu Town and the surrounding town.In the end, he told Heiwa that if he hadn't come back after dark, he would ask Uncle Xie to bring Guo Lizheng's people to Xujiazhuang to find him.

After finishing speaking, she told the old lady who had already come to her that she was going to find Kecheng, and asked the old lady to go to Liang's house to borrow their donkey.

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu hurried into Liang's house to tell her why she came here. Erniang Liang's old lady hurried to bring her donkey out to Shunniang. Run to the far alley to the north of the town.

Run along the alley to the end, and when you go out, you will find a dirt road from Yangliu Town to Xujiazhuang.The dirt road can run two bullock carts in parallel, so it is not narrow.

It was the first time for Shunniang to ride a donkey after changing the core, and she didn't dare to run too fast, she only dared to trot, and ran for two or three miles, and saw two familiar people, Xie Yi and his daughter Xie Erniang.

Shunniang stopped the donkey and greeted their father and daughter. When Xie Yi saw Shunniang, he asked her if she knew that Kecheng was lost and came out to find it.

"Well, I borrowed the Liang family's donkey and rode it out to find it. By the way, where is my sister-in-law and the Liang family?"

"We searched in several directions. Erniang and I went north, two shop assistants in my shop went south, and the other went east and west with the Liang family siblings and your sister-in-law."

"Why did you come out of this town?"

"Erniang and I searched all the way and asked all the way. We found this place after we searched all the way to the north. We wondered if a kidnapper would take Kecheng away from Yangliu Town. After all, if we kidnapped someone else's baby and stayed in Yangliu Town Still afraid of being found out."

"Uncle Xie, let me tell you, you and your second mother are going back to Yangliu Town..."

Shunniang told Xie Yi what she had just told Heiwa, and said that the two sides would split up. She went to Xujiazhuang to find someone, and Xie Yi led someone to arrest Zhao's father and son and go to Guo Lizheng. He must ask what Zhao's father and son knew. If you can't find the name of the shopkeeper, you can rely on the list provided by Zhao's father and son to search one by one, and finally find out the abducted person.

Xie Yi heard Shunniang's words and said angrily: "Maybe it's the Zhao family's father and son's tricks, there's no need to go out and look for it, Xi Erlang, if you come back with me, go and teach the Zhao family's father and son a lesson, and let them hand over their wounds." It can be done!"

"Father, you are being too arbitrary. Brother Xi is right. What if it's not Zhao's father and son, but someone else? Why don't you go to Xujiazhuang to find it? If Kecheng is resold, you won't be able to get it back. .” Before Shunniang could speak, Erniang Xie had already spoken.

"This...then I'll go back to the town and take someone to catch the Zhao family father and son, Er Niang, you go back with dad!"

"Father, you should go back by yourself first, I want to find Kecheng with Second Brother Xi."

Xie Yi has always obeyed his daughter's words. Hearing what Xie Erniang said, even though he didn't like his daughter being alone with a young man, but after thinking about it, his daughter had an engagement party with Xi Erlang, so he also let out rumors about the two. Individuals want to get married.Therefore, even if two people are together alone, there is nothing to gossip about when others know about it.What's more, this Kijiro in front of me has always been kind to his daughter. Now if he lets his daughter go to his nephew with him, and the two of them are alone, maybe he will fall in love with his daughter from now on. Not sure.

Thinking of this, Xie Yi felt that this was a good opportunity to match his daughter with Xi Erlang, so he immediately said straightforwardly: "Okay, you go with Xi Erlang, and there is also a helper, and you can discuss anything. Go back first."

Before Shun Niang could say that she could go alone, Xie Yi had already turned around and strode back. She opened her mouth, but she didn't say it.

After all, the Xie family members were so enthusiastic about helping find someone after Kecheng was lost, but at this moment, it was a bit of a shame for me to say that I went to find Kecheng by myself, so after Xie Yi left, Shunniang had to jump off the donkey, Let Xie Erniang sit on it.

Xie Erniang said that this donkey is big enough for two people to ride together. After saying this, she suddenly thought of something, and her face flushed like a silver plate.

Shunniang was taken aback when she saw her blushing, but soon realized what she was thinking, and couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth.

But there is no time to worry about these things at the moment, Shunniang first helped Xie Erniang ride up, and then turned onto the back of the donkey by herself. The two of them are not fat anyway, and this strong and big donkey can still carry two people, but it takes more effort , Running is not so light.

The donkey trotted along the dirt road leading to Xujiazhuang, and the two people on the donkey's back didn't speak.

Xie Erniang was embraced by Shunniang, although she tried her best to move her body forward and not lean on the person behind her, but occasionally, her back would bump into the chest of the person behind her, which brought a strange feeling.In addition, the breath and body odor of the people behind her floated into her nose from time to time, smelling it, it made her heart feel like bathing in fragrant soup, it was warm and seemed to melt.

The lingering heat spread from her heart to her limbs, unknowingly dyeing her face and earballs a layer of light pink.

As for Shun Niang, around Xie Erniang, some scattered strands of hair on Xie Erniang's sideburns were blown by the head-on wind and brushed across her face, causing itchiness, and the girlish fragrance from Xie Erniang's neck also poured in from time to time. In Shunniang's nose.

Although what she cares about at the moment is Kecheng, but she is a person who likes women, so she can't help but feel a little bit about Erniang Xie in her arms.

She lowered her eyes to look at Xie Erniang's neck, which was exuding the fragrance of a girl, and found for the first time that Xie Erniang's skin was as white as snow, especially against the black hair on her head, it shone like suet jade.And when I put my hands around her, looking over her shoulders, I can see the full chest of her loose cross-neck dress, and when I retract my arms, I can touch Xie Erniang's slender waist .For some reason, Shunniang remembered that when she rescued Xie Erniang from the river at the foot of Liushan that day, she was dripping wet, and every part of her body was round, especially the two lumps on her chest, which were extraordinarily plump and upright. ...

At that time, she just watched it and didn't feel anything.

But at this moment, for some reason, my heart became hot, and I felt a little strange.

This kind of feeling just happened, and Shunniang immediately despised how she could have such thoughts at such a time. She quickly gathered her mind, stopped looking at Xie Erniang in front of her, and looked at the dirt road ahead and the people on the dirt road wholeheartedly. People, see if there is a peddler carrying things on the way.

On the way, she saw a peddler carrying things to Xujiazhuang. Shunniang immediately jumped off the donkey and went to stop him, saying that she wanted to buy something.

Seeing that someone wanted to buy something, the peddler put down his burden and asked Shun Niang what he wanted to buy.

Shunniang said that she wanted to see what the peddler had in stock, and after she saw it, the peddler looked at Shunniang suspiciously, thinking that the man who was shopping in front of him was strange, so he stopped himself, and didn't even want to buy anything. Don't know anything?

"Oh, I have a lot of people in my family, I want to see what you have and buy them for them to take home." Shun Niang explained.

This reason barely made sense, so the shopkeeper opened the two boxes he was carrying, and asked Shun Niang to look at the goods inside, and see if there was anything he liked.

Shunniang rummaged through it, and found that there was no child hidden in the peddler's box. Finally, she bought a mirror and a comb, and paid the peddler.

When paying, Shunniang asked the peddler if he was going to Xujiazhuang to sell goods.

The shopkeeper told Shunniang that he was from Xujiazhuang because Shunniang had just bought something with him, and that it would be dark in half an hour, and he wanted to go home.

Shunniang asked the peddler again, how many people in their Xujiazhuang make a living as peddlers.

As soon as the words came out, the man glanced at Shun Niang, but said nothing, only said that his family members were waiting for him to go home, and then started on his way again with the burden.

It's not easy for Shunniang to go forward and stop him, pestering him to say something, fearing that he will be suspicious, but instead startle the snake.

"The man refused to say, there must be some people in Xujiazhuang who are peddlers who are doing that illegal business, most of them are abducting and selling children." Shunniang waited for the man to carry the burden and walked away, then whispered to Erniang Xie.

Xie Erniang nodded, saying that most of the people in these villages live together in the same village with the same surname, and many of them are relatives.Since the peddler just now is from Xujiazhuang, of course he will protect the clan who is both a peddler and a kidnapper, even if he knows something, he will not say anything.

"Then let's follow him to Xujiazhuang from afar. When we arrived at the village, we pretended to be a young couple who went back to our mother's house to visit relatives. We passed by Xujiazhuang. It was getting late and we asked someone to stay overnight. Then we asked people about some things in this village. For example, if someone is a peddler and sells goods, let’s say we want to buy things for our little children.” Shunniang quickly got an idea, and said to Xie Erniang.

"...Okay, second brother Yixi." Xie Erniang was surprised at first when she heard Shunniang said that she was pretending to be a young couple, but then she became delighted.

She was very satisfied with the role that Shunniang had arranged for her, and she thought that she must play the role of this lady well and help Xi Erlang find Kecheng.

"Hey, I just bought this for the peddler, you take it, I don't need it." Shunniang handed a small target mirror and a pair of horn combs to Xie Erniang.

Xie Erniang didn't expect Shunniang to give her something, and when she saw the small target mirror and horn comb handed over by Shunniang, she felt happy. She pursed her lips and smiled, took the things Shunniang handed over, and said mischievously: "Is this a reward for helping you?"

Shunniang smiled slightly: "That's what you say, okay, let's stop talking nonsense, it's not too far to go to Xujiazhuang, you get on the donkey, I will lead it, let's pretend to be a young couple and go to Xujiazhuang to investigate. whereabouts."

"Okay." Xie Erniang agreed, and put the small target mirror and horn comb that Shunniang gave her just now into her sleeve pocket, then turned on the donkey and sat down, and Shunniang led the donkey forward, and the two followed at a distance. Go to Xujiazhuang after the peddler who sold things to them just now.

When they arrived at Xujiazhuang, it was dusk and the sun had already set behind the mountain. Shunniang led the donkey and walked slowly into the village.

This Xujiazhuang is not big, there are about a hundred households in the whole village, it is time to cook dinner, and every household in the village is smoking, and the peddler who sold goods to Shunniang also walked into a yard in the village.

Xie Erniang sat on the donkey, looked around, and listened attentively. She wanted to hear the cry of a child in a house, and then followed the cry to see if the child was successful.Not to mention, she actually heard the cry of a child coming from the yard of a farmhouse at the west end of the village, so she asked Shunniang to lead the donkey over to have a look.

Shunniang immediately understood what Xie Erniang meant, and led the donkey to the yard where the children were crying at the west end of the village. probe.

Soon, a peasant woman in her early thirties came over and asked Xie Erniang what's the matter?

Xie Erniang smiled and begged her for a bowl of water, saying that she was passing by here with her officials to visit relatives at her mother's house, and she was very thirsty.

When the peasant woman heard the words, she asked Xie Erniang to wait a while, and she went to fetch water for Xie Erniang.

When the peasant woman turned to go into the house, Xie Erniang gave Shunniang a wink, signaling her to lead the donkey and follow her into the yard. Shunniang led the donkey and followed Xie Erniang into the yard. Sitting on a small wooden stool, a three or four-year-old boy was crying, but unfortunately it was not Kecheng.

The peasant woman came out with a bowl of water, and saw a handsome official standing beside Xie Erniang begging for water, leading a donkey, and believed Xie Erniang's words even more.

Xie Erniang took a few sips of the bowl of water, then handed it to Shunniang. Shunniang returned to Yangliu Town from Bianliang City, and when she got home, she heard that Kecheng was gone. She didn't even take a sip of water, and she was anxious again. Now he was thirsty too, so he took the water that Xie Erniang handed over, ignoring that it was what Xie Erniang drank, picked up the bowl and gulped it down his throat.

While Shunniang was drinking water, Erniang Xie took out a penny and stuffed it into the peasant woman's hand, thanking her for bringing water for herself and the officials.

The peasant woman pushed, but in the end she still took the penny. After collecting the money, she became more enthusiastic towards Xie Erniang, and Xie Erniang started talking to her.First, she asked her how many people were there in the family, and the peasant woman told Xie Erniang that there were six people in her family, her parents-in-law, her husband, herself, an older son, and a younger son.

The father-in-law, husband, and eldest son have all gone to the field, and they will come back for dinner after a while. Only the mother-in-law, the younger son, and herself are left at home. Her mother-in-law is cooking in the kitchen right now.

After hearing this, Xie Erniang said what she had discussed with Shunniang just now, saying that she and the officials were going to visit relatives at her mother's house, and it would be too late to walk at night. It is enough to cover the head with a piece of tile, and they can pay [-] Wen for the accommodation.

At first, the peasant woman was a little hesitant when she heard that Xie Erniang and Shunniang wanted to spend the night, but then she heard that Xie Erniang was willing to pay [-] Wen for the accommodation, so she immediately agreed, saying that she would stay at this house for a while After dinner, she tidied up the firewood shed and laid thick firewood on it. Although it was a little rough, it could still last for one night.

Xie Erniang quickly thanked her, and then asked Shunniang to lead the donkey to the corner of the yard and tie it up, while she went to help the peasant woman clean the woodshed. While talking to the peasant woman, she quietly asked her about the situation There are a few people in Xujiazhuang who do farm work in their busy hours and work as shopkeepers in their spare time, and where they live in the village.

She also specifically asked the peasant woman who she should go to buy some puppet and sugar figurines that children like for her little nephew and niece.

The peasant woman told her that there were two peddlers in Xujiazhuang who specialized in selling things for children. One lived in the south of the village, and his name was Xu Dalang.There is another family in the north of the village, called Huang Wulang, but this Huang Wulang has a bad temper and is very weird. It is best not to go shopping with him. People in the village don’t like him because he has a bad temper and is not easy to get along with. Deal with him, don't go shopping at his house.

Xie Erniang was convinced, and after the farmer's father-in-law, husband, and son came back and had dinner together, they went out with Shunniang under the pretext of buying something for the children at home.

As soon as she went out, Xie Erniang asked Shunniang which house to go to first.

Shunniang said: "Since Huang Wulang is the most difficult to get along with, let's go to his house first."

Xie Erniang asked Shunniang why she went to his house first, and Shunniang told Xie Erniang that she thought Huang Wulang was the most suspect because he had a bad temper and the villagers didn't like to go to his house, so does it mean that he was covering up something, for example, he abducted My child, in order not to be discovered by others, he deliberately pretended to be grumpy, so that people in the village did not like to go shopping at his house...

When Shunniang said this, Erniang Xie understood.

It was already dark at this time, and Xie Erniang took a broken lantern borrowed from the peasant woman's house, and Shunniang went with her to Huang Wulang's house in the north of the village.It is not far from the peasant woman's house to Huang Wulang's house. After dozens of steps, turn a corner and walk more than 100 meters.Most of the villagers in the village are having dinner at the moment, and most of the yard doors are unlocked.

Shunniang asked a few children playing at the gate of a yard where Huang Wulang's house was, and led Xie Erniang there.

Huang Wulang's house is different from other houses. The yard of his house is closed, and faint yellow candle light shines through the gap in the yard door.

Shunniang first put her ears on the door and listened intently, to see if she could hear the crying of the child coming from inside, but after listening carefully for a while, she did not hear the crying of the child except for occasional voices. .So Shunniang knocked on the door, making a loud bang.

When the people in the room heard the door ring, they came out and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, Shunniang saw a thin middle-aged man who asked Shunniang who she was looking for and why with an unhappy expression.

Shunniang could only laugh and say that she was passing by Xujiazhuang, and after listening to the introduction of the master, she came to buy a few things to take back to the baby at home.

"What do you want, I'll bring it to you, ten cents for each item, no price!" Huang Wulang said in a very aggressive tone.

Shun Niang continued to laugh and said, "Brother, can you let me go in and have a look, and we'll talk about it after we pick one."

Huang Wulang hesitated for a moment, and said, "If you want to pick and choose, you can pay twenty Wen for each item."

"Okay!" Shun Niang answered readily.

Huang Wulang took a deep look at Shunniang when he heard the words, then turned around and let Shunniang and Xie Erniang go in.

After the two entered, Huang Wulang closed the courtyard door and led Shunniang and Erniang Xie straight into the main room. On a table in the middle of the main room sat an old woman, a middle-aged woman, and a boy of thirteen or fourteen.

Huang Wulang told them that Shunniang and Xie Erniang were here to buy things. When Shunniang was picking up the things in the box that Huang Wulang put in the corner of the room, Xie Erniang, who was standing by the door a little further away, was holding a lantern. Looking around, she found that this house was an adobe house in the most common village, with a main room and two rooms on the east and west. At this time, except for the few people in the middle of the main room who sat at the table and ate quietly, occasionally they made a Except for the two chopsticks hitting the porcelain bowl, there was no sound at all.

In the yard just now, she had already seen it. There is only a simple kitchen and a simple firewood house in the yard. It is said to be simple, that is, only one side is against the wall, and the other three sides are not against the wall. A thatched roof house.Therefore, one can see the inside clearly at a glance. Xie Erniang has seen it just now, and there is no way to hide people inside.Entering the house at this time, she looked around and found that the furniture in the house and the food of the people in the middle of the house were very simple, and the clothes worn by the family were also patched, only Huang Wulang's There were no patches on the short jacket. He was a peddler who was going out to do business, and he had to dress decently, so there were no patches on his body.

Xie Erniang thought, judging from the Huang Wulang's family's house, clothing, food, and the fact that they haven't heard any noises, this Huang Wulang doesn't seem to be a peddler who is also a kidnapper.

Shunniang bought two dolls for [-] cents, and then resigned from Huang Wulang with Xie Erniang.

Just as the two of them stepped out of the door, the old woman sitting next to the table in the middle of the main room suddenly sighed and said: "...a crime..."

The sound was very soft, but because of the silence at night, the Huang family members were not talkative, so it was heard very clearly by Shunniang and Xie Erniang.

Shunniang and Xie Erniang were puzzled when they heard the old woman's inexplicable "commitment" and didn't know what she meant by that.

The two walked to the gate of Huang Wulang's house in silence. When Huang Wulang opened the gate, he suddenly said to them: "I think the goods here are not very popular with the little officials and ladies. This village is located at the south end of the village. There is also Xu Dalang's family, his family has a complete range of goods, you can go to his house to pick. By the way, his family is also very recognizable, the most neatly repaired family in Zhuangnantou, the three brothers in his family are all salesmen, travel all over the world, see Very knowledgeable..."

Having said that, he stopped talking, opened the yard door, and told Shunniang and Xie Erniang to leave quickly in a rough voice.

As soon as the two of them went out, he slammed the door shut, as if he was angry and kicked them out.

Shunniang and Xie Erniang stood outside the door and looked at each other. From the eyes of each other, both of them could tell that Huang Wulang was really weird.

On the way to Xu Dalang's house at the south end of the village, the two discussed in whispers what they had seen and heard at Huang Wulang's house just now, and based on this they deduced whether Kecheng had been abducted by Huang Wulang.As a result, the two almost unanimously deduced that Huang Wulang was unlikely to be a child abductor, but what his mother and him said in the yard outside made them very suspicious that Xu Dalang's family was the most weird and most suspicious up.

Because Huang Wulang said that the house of Xu Dalang's family was the most neatly built at the south end of Xujiazhuang, and he also said that the three brothers of Xu Dalang's family were all shopkeepers.Just ask, how capable is a shopkeeper who walks around the streets and alleys to be worthy of the eight characters of traveling all over the world and being well-informed.

"Xu Dalang's family must be weird, let's play it by ear, and we must not startle the snake." Shunniang earnestly instructed Xie Erniang.

Xie Erniang hummed and nodded heavily.

While talking, the two walked to the south end of Xujiazhuang, and then saw Xu Dalang's house built with high walls and a large courtyard with a grand gate.

The outer walls are all made of bricks, so it can be seen that the houses inside are not bad.

Shunniang went to knock on the door, the door opened, and a young man in his early twenties came out. He asked Shunniang who he was and what he was doing here.

For some reason, when Shunniang saw this young man, she felt that although he was pretending to speak relaxedly, there was a sly look in his eyes.

Shunniang told the young man what she had already organized, and the young man heard the same thing as Huang Wulang said. If he was asked to help Shunniang and Xie Erniang pick each item, they would get ten coins for each item. Twenty Wen for each item.

This time I came here just to find out Kecheng's whereabouts, not to mention [-] Wen, even [-] Wen, Shun Niang is willing to pay.

She immediately agreed to the young man's request and walked in. Erniang Xie followed with a lantern.After entering, Shunniang found that the Xu family's house was really well-built. It was made of blue bricks and large tile houses, and there were buildings. Even the ground in the yard was paved with bricks. This is very rare in the village. This place belongs to the rich.

However, as soon as they entered the courtyard, Shunniang and Xie Erniang heard the intermittent crying of a child, but after carefully identifying where the sound came from, they could not hear it again.

There was noise from the main room facing south, as if someone was drinking and talking.

The young man didn't bring Shunniang and Xie Erniang into the house, but there was a load of goods outside the house against the wall. He asked Shunniang and Xie Erniang to go pick it up. After talking, he went into the house and took an oil lamp, came out and held it up high for them to see. The goods in the bright box.

Shunniang slowly picked it up, while listening attentively to the muffled cry of a child that she had just heard, and when the voices of the people drinking and joking inside were quieter, she could search for this cry again .

But she wasn't sure if the crying child was from Kecheng's family, or someone else's, or that she was a child from Xu Dalang's family.

Because she heard a young woman in her early twenties coming out of the kitchen and calling the man holding the oil lamp Sanlang. If this person is Xu Sanlang and has married a wife, it means that Xu Dalang is also married and at least 23 is four years old.The three brothers in this family each married their wives and had children. It is quite normal for the Xu family to have a few crying children. She cannot use this to determine that these shopkeepers in the Xu family are kidnappers, and it was one of them who kidnapped them. It can be achieved.

When she picked up these two things and was about to leave, a man came out of the main room. When he saw Shunniang and Xie Erniang, he was stunned for a moment, forgetting that he was called out by the eldest brother, and asked him to call the third brother quickly. Went in for a drink.

When Shunniang inadvertently looked up at the man who came out of the house and stood at the door of the main room, she was also slightly startled, because this man was the one she met Xie Erniang on the road in the afternoon, bought something from him, and asked about Xujiazhuang There are a few people who make a living as shopkeepers.

It turned out that this person was one of Xu's family members.

After Shunniang realized it, she secretly thought that it was not good. If that person recognized her, she would be suspicious. After all, she had inquired about Xujiazhuang's peddler in the afternoon, and even bought something from him, but now she unexpectedly Appeared at someone's home, and came to buy things again.

She turned around quickly, pulled Xie Erniang's sleeve beside her, and said softly: "Miss, let's go."

"Brother, we are also destined. We met in the next afternoon, and now we meet again. Why bother to leave, it's already here, how about going in for a glass of wine?" The man standing at the door of the main room suddenly said coldly Said towards Shun Niang.
