Huaxi Chronicle

When Gou Erlang was brought to the ancestral hall, Guanshi Qian had already heard the sound and rushed over. Seeing Gou Erlang cowering in a ball on the ground, he was so angry that he stepped forward and slapped Gou Erlang hard on the face, reprimanding him. Said: "How can you do such an outrageous thing, evil!"

Gou Erlang was stunned by the beating, and when he saw that it was Qian Guan who came, he immediately cried and begged: "Uncle, save me quickly, I, I know I was wrong, I will never dare again!"

When Guanshi Qian heard this, he was unmoved, and said with a look of hatred: "This is the end, you have committed such a crime, who can save you! Hurry up and tell me where the little lady is now!"

Gou Erlang turned pale with shock: "Uncle, you must save me! My Dalang is only three years old, uncle can't let him lose his father! I, I, you know..." Turning to look Gazing at everyone present, he hesitated to speak.

Guanshi Qian shouted anxiously: "You also know that your eldest son is only three years old, what can I do if you do such a wicked thing, I will take good care of the child for you." He reached out and patted Gou Erlang on the shoulder, He said earnestly: "I will arrange the family affairs for you, now hurry up and tell me where the little lady is going!"

Gou Erlang's face lost all color, and he sat slumped on the ground, as if he had lost his mind, and muttered to himself: "What should I do..."

Lu Cunzheng said: "The child was chased by them and ran into the mountains, and he doesn't know where he is now."

Guanshi Qian didn't say anything more to Gou Erlang when he heard the words, walked up to Yan Cong'an, bowed with shame on his face, and said, "Third lady, it's all my fault for my lack of discipline. You deal with it."

Yan Cong'an raised his eyebrows, and said coldly: "I'll talk about this later. When the child is found, he will be sent to the government. How to deal with it is up to the government to decide."

Yan Cong'an's words meant that Gou Erlang couldn't be kind.Guanshi Qian was anxious, but he couldn't help it.I have already said what I have just allowed to deal with, I can only hope that the little lady can be found sooner, or there may be a turnaround.

While everyone was talking, a woman ran into the ancestral hall, and when she saw Gou Erlang, she stepped forward and beat him up: "You give me back my child! It was you, the villain, who took him away! Where do you think you sold him to!"

Gou Erlang regained his composure from the woman's beating, and because his hands were bound, he couldn't fight back, so he crawled sideways to avoid it, and shouted: "You crazy woman, don't talk nonsense! Your son is lost. What have you got to do with me!"

Xun Feibai recognized the woman who beat Gou Erlang as Qin Siniang whom she and Lu Cunzheng met that day.

Qin Siniang was the same as when Xun Feibai first met her that day.Her hair was disheveled and her clothes were ragged, but there was a trace of clarity in her eyes, she didn't look like a crazy person: "Xiao Xiao was abducted by you, a thief. I saw you talking to him many times before he disappeared. The child is lost, if it's not you, who is it?"

The villagers watching in the ancestral hall were all shocked when they heard the words.Then there was a look of disdain on his face, it turned out that this was not the first time that Gou Erlang had been involved in child abduction and trafficking.Discussions continued one after another, and even more people said angrily: "This kind of wicked person should be burned to death!"

As soon as this remark came out, someone responded: "Gou Erlang is not dead, who will dare to let the children in the family go out in the future and burn him to death!"

"Burn him!"

"Burn him!"

"Burn him!"

All of a sudden, the crowd was furious, and the shouts became louder and louder.Seeing such a scene, Gou Erlang rolled his eyes and fainted from fright.

Lu Cunzheng stood up and said to the crowd: "I obey the law and do not use lynching. When we find the child, we will send the two of them to the government. If they are punished according to the law, even if they don't die, they will be exiled for three thousand miles." Don't worry folks, this person will no longer be able to cause harm to the village."

Hearing what Muramasa said, everyone stopped talking.Seeing this scene, Guanshi Qian felt even colder in his heart. Even if his nephew could escape the death penalty, the living crime would be unavoidable.

He looked sideways at Yan Cong'an with a stern face, if she also participated in it, to punish Gou Erlang severely, he would not be able to act at all.Annoyed in his heart, he stared at the fainted person on the ground: How could this evil debt think of kidnapping the little lady of the Yan family, it is really audacious.

The sun is setting, and the last ray of light is about to disappear.

Xun Feibai stood up a little anxiously, and said to Yan Cong'an, "The sun is about to set, I'd better go to Beishan and wait."

Yan Cong'an was also a little anxious, stood up and said to her, "I'm with you."

The two of them hadn't left the ancestral hall when they ran into the guards of Yan's family outside. When they saw Yan Cong'an, they hurriedly said, "Third Lady, we've found him!"

Xun Feibai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and hurriedly said, "You are all right, where are you now?"

The guard replied: "The treasure box girl is holding the little lady, and she should have gone down the mountain at this time."

Xun Feibai raised his foot and wanted to go out, but then remembered Yan Cong'an behind him, turned around and took her hand, and walked quickly towards Beishan together.

As soon as the two walked out of the ancestral hall, they saw the treasure box approaching from a distance, and before they approached, Yan Yuanjin in the treasure box's arms shouted: "Mother, A Niang, I am here! "

Xun Feibai took two quick steps and hugged her in his arms. The clothes of the little man in his arms were a little messy, half of the little bun on his head was undone, and some black dust was stained on his fair face.After looking carefully, she didn't find any injuries on her body, and there was no trace of crying on her small face, and the big stone in her heart fell to the ground.

Yan Yuanjin saw that she was nervous, grinned and said with a smile: "Mother, Xiaojin accidentally fell down the hillside today, and she didn't cry. Mother, am I very brave!"

Xun Feibai turned pale with shock: "Where did you hurt when you rolled down the hill? Where does your body hurt?"

Yan Yuanjin seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly said to Xun Feibai: "I'm not injured, Xiao Hei rolled me down with his arms, she was injured, mother, show her quickly, I was protected by Xiao Hei, just now There are bad guys chasing us, and it was Xiao Hei who protected me!"

Xun Feibai looked in the direction of her finger, and saw the little girl whom he had seen a few days ago standing beside the treasure box. The clothes on the little girl's body had already been scratched by branches, and scars could still be seen in many places on her hands and feet.

Seeing this, Yan Cong'an ordered the treasure box: "You take the child to the village first, and ask the doctor of the villa to show the child."

Hearing what she said, the little girl refused and said: "I don't want to go to the villa, my aunt is still waiting for me, I want to go home."

Seeing her insistence, Yan Cong'an said to the treasure box: "Send someone to ask the doctor to go to her home to show her. After the wound is treated, I will ask carefully what happened in the afternoon."

When Yan Cong'an found out that Gou Erlang was abducting and selling the girl named Xiaolu, he had doubts in his mind, Gou Erlang and Na'a Si were only two, why did he go after that black girl and Xiaojin after taking Xiaolu.

Not to mention that the three children are difficult to control, that Xiaojin is the little lady of Lanxi Villa, and Gou Erlang, as the nephew of Qian Guanshi, must know about it.The troubles caused by abducting Xiao Jin will definitely not be small, why did he do this?Or is there some other purpose involved in it.

The treasure box nodded in response, and left with the little girl.

Seeing that the child had been found, Lu Cun felt relieved, and asked Yan Cong'an, "Third lady, the little lady has been found, so Gou Erlang should directly send the lawsuit?"

Yan Cong'an thought for a while and said, "I will lock the two of them in the ancestral hall tonight, and I will send guards to guard them. I will send people to send them to the county government tomorrow, and they will handle the rest."

After hearing the words, Guanshi Qian lowered his head, his eyes dimmed.

Xun Feibai walked towards the villa with Yan Yuanjin in his arms, and asked softly as he walked, "You were playing in the open space, how could you be chased by that bad guy with that black girl?"

Listening to her question, Yan Yuanjin pursed the corners of his mouth, with a hint of grievance, but also a little fear: "I, I..."

Xun Feibai stretched out his hand to hold her little hand, and asked gently: "Mother is not blaming you, you just got lost, mother and aunt are very worried, please tell us what happened ?”

Seeing that she didn't mean to blame her, Yan Yuanjin felt even more aggrieved on her face. She wanted to cry, but she held back her tears and said, "I used to play ball with Xiaoxu, but I saw Xiao Hei just wanted to play with her. Then I went to look for her, but Xiao Hei didn't hear me call her, so I followed her and walked, but just reached the edge of the mountain. Then Xiao Hei suddenly turned around and yearned for I ran back, and then, she saw me, and pulled me into the mountain together."

Xun Feibai asked suspiciously: "You mean, you just followed Hei Niu, and then she walked to the foot of the mountain, and she suddenly pulled you into the mountain together? Can she tell you why she dragged you into the mountain?"

Yan Yuanjin nodded his head and said: "Xiao Hei said there are bad guys behind him, and the bad guys caught Xiaolu, and they want to catch us. If we are caught by the bad guys, we will be sold to other bad guys."

When Xun Feibai heard this, he roughly guessed what happened.

An hour later, the treasure box returned to Lanxi Villa, and what the black girl said was the same as Yan Yuanjin's, but also in more detail.

When Hei Niu passed Orion's house, she bumped into Gou Erlang and the big man by accident, and carried Xiaolu, who was dazed, out of the house.Fortunately, Hei Niu was clever, and turned and ran away before the two of them could react, but when they ran back, they saw Yan Yuanjin following behind.

Hei Niu was afraid that those two people would also tie up Yan Yuanjin, so she dragged her up the mountain together.

Growing up in Peach Blossom Village, Hei Niu was familiar with Beishan. She led Yan Yuanjin to hide in a small cave, and the two of them waited in the cave for an hour before daring to come out.It's just that Yan Yuanjin's feet slipped when going down the mountain, and Hei Niu hugged her and rolled down a small hill, but the hill was a bit steep, and the two of them couldn't climb up because of their small bodies.

When the two were at a loss, they happened to be found by the people who went up the mountain to look for people.

Yan Cong'an heard that Gou Erlang didn't plan for a long time, he just wanted to catch the black girl, but he happened to meet Ke Yan Yuanjin and the black girl together and became malicious, so he was relieved.

The matter has been clarified, Yan Cong'an dispatched people early the next morning, and sent Gou Erlang and Xiao Si to the Huaxi County Government Office.

County magistrate Cui opened the interrogation that day, and after finding out the cause and effect of the incident, he immediately put the two in prison, and sent people to thoroughly investigate all the people who had been in contact with Gou Erlang.

Three days later, Lanxi Villa.

Xun Fei led Yan Yuanjin out of the villa and was on his way to the village.As soon as he left the gate of the villa, he saw a little girl kneeling in front of the two of them: "Miss Xun, please save my aunt!" As soon as she finished speaking, she began to kowtow.

Xun Feibai saw clearly that the person who came was the black girl who had rescued Yan Yuanjin a few days ago.She hurriedly stretched out her hands to help the little girl up, and asked softly: "What are you doing, talk about it when you have something to say, don't do that."

Yan Yuanjin on the side also recognized Hei Niu, stretched out his little hand to grab her skirt, and said happily: "Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei."

Seeing Yan Yuanjin, the black girl's eyes flickered slightly. Thinking of the business, she begged Xun Feibai, "My aunt accidentally rolled off a field stalk the day before yesterday, and she didn't get better even after cooking a few herbs. She is bedridden, can Mrs. Xun ask the doctor in the villa to show my aunt? Please!"

Xun Feibai heard the words, turned around immediately, and said to the boy at the door: "Go and find the doctor of the villa." Then he turned to Hei Niu and said, "Just wait a moment, the doctor should be here soon."

Seeing this, the black girl thanked her repeatedly.When Yan Yuanjin saw this scene just now, he didn't say anything more, but just held onto Xun Feibai's trousers tightly, and stood aside obediently.

Not a moment later, the doctor of the villa hurried up to the three of them with the medicine box on his back. Xun Feibai said: "There is an old man in the little girl's house who fell down and has been bedridden for two days. Come with me to her house to have a look." , picked up Yan Yuanjin at his feet, turned around and said to Hei Niu: "You lead the way."

The black girl responded and led the three of them towards the house.

The house of Hei Niu's family was at the foot of the mountain in the north of the village. They walked for less than a quarter of an hour before arriving in front of the house.The black girl pushed aside the wooden fence in the yard and led the doctor into the house.

Xun Feibai didn't follow the two into the house, she stood in the courtyard and looked around, there was only an adobe thatched house and a shack on the east side, with a clay stove under the shack.When she took a closer look, there were only a few small sweet potatoes and a handful of wild vegetables beside the stove.There is a rock next to the stove, and there are several clay pots on the rock, one of which contains large grains of slightly yellowed salt.

Seeing this, Xun Fei frowned, and she put Yan Yuanjin in her arms on the ground, then grabbed the salt in the clay pot and put it to her mouth to taste, the salt was saltier than the salt she usually bought many.

A trace of surprise flashed in Xun Fei's white eyes, and speculation flashed in his mind.

After a while, the doctor walked out of the house, and Xun Feibai stepped forward and asked, "How is the old man?"

The doctor looked solemn, and replied: "The old man's body is already weak, but he broke his leg bone the day before yesterday, and it was delayed for two days. I'm afraid the situation is not good."

Xun Feibai said: "Just use the medicinal materials in the village. If there are any shortages, I will send people to buy them and try to cure them as much as possible."

The doctor was relieved to get her promise, but he still didn't dare to relax, and said cautiously: "I will do my best, but I'm not [-]% sure. Mrs. Xun asked the child to prepare earlier."

Xun Feibai made up his mind, and after the doctor left, he led Yan Yuanjin and turned around and entered the house.
