Chapter 109 Missing
"Then have you ever thought about asking the government for help?" When there is a problem, go to the police. This is almost a mark engraved in the bones. Chu Ci asked subconsciously.
"The police came here, but the beast seemed to know there was danger and never appeared in front of the police." When the old man said this, he felt inexplicably afraid.
The villagers were just limited by the times and conditions they lived in, so they had little experience, but they were not stupid. How could they not notice such an obvious strangeness?
Chu Ci saw the old man's fear clearly. But she continued to ask: "The police are incompetent, so have you not thought of other ways?"
"We've thought about it, but apart from implicating the Lian family, we haven't accomplished anything." The old man became more depressed when he said this.
He also didn't notice that, under Jin Ming's call, Qiangzi had been carried back to the village with the help of the villagers. He just walked mechanically until he entered the house and his old wife brought him tea, then he suddenly realized that he had returned home.
He quickly apologized again.
Chu Ci didn't care. After a few polite words, he brought the topic back to the topic: "Did the Lian family get into trouble after helping you?"
Now that things have come to this, the old man did not hide anything. He not only told Chu Ci about what happened with the Lian family, but also told him about the abnormalities on the mountain.
The most important thing is, the old man said that a horse team would pass by on the sixth day of every month, and today happened to be the sixth day.
So, Jin Ming used the excuse that Qiangzi might have a fever at night, and he and Ziyi asked them to stay.
Chu Ci thought he needed to do the same, so he quickly sent someone to send a message to Fan Jingrui.
The purple-robed envoy poured cold water on her head: "Young Madam's status is inconvenient, I will assign a few brothers to escort you back."
Chu Ci was so angry that he wanted to curse, isn't this just using people forward and not using people backward?
However, there was something even more infuriating. As soon as Chu Ci came back, Shiliu told her that Niuniu had been taken away.
"Who is it?" Chu Ci's face was gloomy, as if he was questioning Sixteen's ability.
Seeing this, Sixteen quickly knelt down. "I underestimated the enemy. I thought he was just an ordinary thief who came into the kitchen just because he was hungry for too long. I didn't expect he was coming for Niuniu."
Chu Ci had seen too many conspiracies since he traveled through time, and he immediately realized that something was wrong. He then asked, "Are you sure that the man went straight to the kitchen?"
As a secret guard, Sixteen was naturally very perceptive. Hearing this, he was shocked and said, "I'll go check it out right away."
However, the result was beyond everyone's expectations. It turned out to be Aunt Hong, whom Chu Ci had asked Shiwu to investigate before.
A few days ago, Qianxi and Qianyan brought the piglets and caused a stir. Aunt Hong was trying to sow discord, and the final investigation result showed that Aunt Hong was a person who liked to take advantage of others.
The reason why she was so sarcastic to Xiao'er was that she just wanted Xiao'er to help her daughter get "pre-marital training".
After learning of the result, Chu Ci put the matter out of his mind.
I didn't expect that such a small oversight would harm Niu Niu.
Chu Ci was very angry and simply ordered: "Go and destroy Aunt Hong's house for me, and remember to make a big fuss."
"Yes." Sixteen was actually also holding a grudge, so he agreed very readily.
Not only that, Aunt Hong was invited by Xiaoer, and Xiaoer was also punished the next day.
Xiaoer thought she was different from the other recruits. She kept trying to hold it in, but finally couldn't help herself and went to find Yuanniang: "Sister Yuanniang, can you tell me, did Xiaoer do anything wrong?"
Yuanniang was also annoyed. "'Pre-marital training' is not a place to show off or gossip. This time I will punish you two months ago. If it happens again, you will leave."
When Xiao'er heard this, she was shocked and a little embarrassed, but she didn't feel scared.
It was not until she got home from get off work and heard that Chuci had sent people to smash Aunt Hong's house and then Aunt Hong was taken away by the officials that Xiao'er realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Mom, do you know what crime the officer arrested us for?" Xiao'er asked anxiously.
Hui Niang didn't know that this matter was related to her daughter. After thinking for a while, she said, "It seems like child abduction."
"Child? Could it be Niuniu?" When Chu Ci was not around, Niuniu had been following Yuanniang, but she didn't see anyone today, so she thought that Niuniu's relatives had taken her away. Now it seems...
Thinking of this, Xiaoer shuddered violently. "Mom, I'm in trouble."
"What's going on? Didn't I tell you to stay away from Aunt Hong? Didn't you listen to me?" No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Hui Niang immediately connected Xiao'er's abnormality with the smashing of Aunt Hong's house, and her voice became much sharper.
Xiao'er was already mentally unstable, and when her mother questioned her like this, she immediately exploded. "But except for Aunt Hong and Ah Ping, no one in the whole street wants to talk to me?"
Hui Niang was really angry. "But you chose the path yourself! Don't you only enjoy the benefits when you encounter things and don't want to get involved in any bad things?"
"I..." Xiao'er wanted to say no, was she just looking for an excuse?
In fact, she knew in her heart that she was wrong.
Maybe she is really not suitable for "pre-marital training"!
Thinking of this, Xiao'er asked quietly, "Mom, if I quit the job of 'pre-marital training', will you blame me?"
"No, as long as you don't regret it. But you must remember, once you make such a choice, you can't regret it." Hui Niang was angry at Xiao'er for not listening to advice, but she felt distressed to see her daughter like this.
Chu Ci did not understand the entanglement between Hui Niang and her daughter, mainly because he simply did not have the time to care about it.
Because after Niu Niu disappeared, Jin Ming and Zi Yi Shi and his group who stayed in Shenjia Village also disappeared out of thin air.
After the Fifth Prince received the news, he sent people to investigate, but all of them returned empty-handed.
The fifth prince was anxious and found Chu Ci: "Cousin, please help me. I can satisfy you whatever you want."
Chu Ci, I am really impressed. When things are going on, she is the cousin's sister-in-law, and when things are going on, she is Chu. The fifth prince really plays the double standard clearly.
"Okay, I want an imperial sword. If anyone dares to bully me without reason, I can kill him without guilt." Chu Ci also figured it out. Since he couldn't get rid of the fight, he might as well take the opportunity to get something for self-defense.
The fifth prince was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.
Chu Ci rolled his eyes directly: "Why, can't you do it?"
The fifth prince subconsciously retorted: "No, you didn't care before..."
"I didn't care before, so why shouldn't I care now?" Chu Ci discovered that people really cannot let others form a fixed impression of themselves.
Look, the Fifth Prince dared to make such a bold statement, which means he was sure that what he wanted was nothing to him.
This is a habit of taking advantage of others.
