Chapter 54: Bad News
At this time, the entire Zong County was stained with dusk. Moshan found a nearby inn, and quickly sent a message to send the found things here back to the Jiedu Mansion of Dianzhou.
Cheng Yue felt comforted by hearing the familiar local accents along the way. No matter how many hardships she had experienced during this period, she finally returned safely. Tomorrow, she would be very excited to see her father who had been missing for a long time. She was very excited. She just didn't know if he was happy or surprised to see him come back alone? Cheng Yue could even immediately imagine his father's tears. A gentleman who teaches and educates people, a decades-old man is actually a daughter. When he thinks about the torture and pain he has suffered during this period, he really wants to throw himself into his arms at this moment.
When I think of my father, I can't help but think of Li Chu's parents. The two old men must be heartbroken when they know the news of their son's death.
Li Chu is the only seed of the Li family. He has already become a scholar at the age of twelve. The reason why my father agreed to his marriage with him was that in addition to paying attention to the innocence and kindness of the Li couple, Li Chu himself has more of his ability. He has excellent knowledge and is smart and ambitious, and with time, he will have a bright future.
Now that white people give in to black people, the situation of the two elders of the Li family is conceivable.
Before she could find out the recent situation of these people, she should not show up with great fanfare. This is one of the reasons why the people from the Yingfeng Escort Agency were not allowed to send her back to Chengjia Village directly.
The second reason is that she really doesn't want to have any relationship with 6 Wei anymore. If it weren't for Mo Feng, because of the hateful insect in her body, her life and his should have had a chance of being wonderful and uninterrupted. Although she doesn't know what will happen in the future, at least she needs to part ways with him for the time being. Only by returning to Chengjia Village can the previous mystery be able to figure it out.
When Cheng Yue thought of that person and those annoying problems, he suddenly felt very overwhelmed.
She shook her head and comforted herself in her heart. Forget it, forget it, fill her stomach first is the king.
Cheng Yue found a small restaurant nearby for dinner. The boss saw that the handsome guy came in and was very enthusiastic.
"Brother, what do you want to eat?"
"Give two signature dishes from your store and add a bowl of rice." Cheng Yue said with one hand on his head and biting a chopstick in his mouth.
"Brother, don't you drink?"
"The rice wine in my store is famous for this county." The boss smiled and recommended his own good wine for Cheng Yue.
"If it doesn't work today, I will definitely come here to taste the boss's wine another day." Cheng Yue took out the chopsticks from his mouth, put them in his hand, and kept chatting with the boss's wife.
"Okay, boy, wait a moment, the food will come up soon." The enthusiastic boss lady finally went down to the kitchen to work. Cheng Yue stared at the people outside the store, a little bored.
This was a young couple walking in. Cheng Yue glanced at the woman and felt a sense of familiarity arose.
She dared to bet that she must have seen this woman, and she thought she was a neighbor of Chengjia Village.
The couple picked up a seat in the inner room and sat down.
"A Xiang?" The boss saw the two of them and greeted them warmly, as if they were familiar.
"Didn't you go back to Lijia Village in the afternoon? Why did you return to the county town again?"
"Sister Yun, don't mention it, it's not about Chengjia Village next door." A Xiang complained with a bitter face.
Hearing the three words Chengjia Village, Cheng Yue immediately raised his ears.
"Chengjia Village, what else is there in Chengjia Village? There are no people in the whole village." The boss lady said with a little strange feeling.
"It took two months to delay, and the county officials will close the case today. The county government went to a bunch of officials and closed the only road. I couldn't go back to my parents' home, so I had to come back with Brother Zhang." A Xiang explained the whole story in detail.
"Wait, close the case? I'm afraid it's a headless case. The county magistrate is afraid that someone will steal his superiors and his black veil will not be protected. Unfortunately, there are two hundred people who have been gone overnight." The boss sighed.
"What should I eat today?"
"It's the same thing, I'll give Brother Zhang two taels of wine. It's hard to make it back and forth." A Xiang said gently to her husband.
"Okay." The boss lady was busy again.
Cheng Yue was a little confused by the conversation between the two. What village is gone? What county magistrate hastily closed the case?
Could it be that there was a murder in Chengjia Village?
Cheng Yue's mind was filled with this terrible thought, his whole body shivered, and a panic broke out in his heart.
No, in order to find out the truth, she decided to approach and ask the woman named Axiang.
"Sister-in-law, can you ask you something?" Cheng Yue suppressed the panic in his heart and walked forward with heavy steps.
When Brother Zhang saw a young young man talking, he nervously protected A Xiang behind him and said fiercely: "What's wrong with you?"
"Brother, don't worry. I went from Dianzhou to Zong County to visit relatives."
"Tomorrow, I will go to the Chengjia Village that my sister-in-law said."
"I'm not familiar with the route, so I came to ask for it." Cheng Yue explained patiently.
"Brother, are you from another place?" A Xiang asked with a smile.
"What relatives do you have in Chengjia Village?"
"I have an aunt who I haven't seen for many years. My mother said that this year is exactly the day of her 40th birthday, so I asked me to come back and explore the way first."
"Oh..." Ade sighed, "Brother, you are afraid you won't see your aunt."
"Why?" Cheng Yue looked puzzled.
"Two months ago, the family between Chengjia Village was slaughtered, and none of the two hundred people in the village were spared." A Xiang said a little moved, and a sad feeling hung between her eyebrows.
"What? Take this matter seriously." Cheng Yue was stunned when he heard the bad news. All his limbs and bones had lost their strength. Something seemed to explode in his heart. She felt that she could no longer breathe and almost fainted. Her face turned pale. She forced herself to let the tears flow out on the spot.
"Brother, don't be sad. You can only go to the charity village in Lijia Village next door to find a coroner. Maybe you can get your aunt's body and let her be buried in peace." A Xiang comforted her in a low voice.
How could this happen? Cheng Yue walked out of the hotel in a daze. Two months ago? It was the time when he disappeared.
Dad, Dad, her only relative in the Tang Dynasty.
There must be no trouble, there must be no trouble.
She wants to go home and go home immediately.
When this thought arose, Cheng Yue ran wildly without hesitation.
The wind blew the coolness of the dark night, but it could not comfort the sad and bone-eroded grief of the man.
Full of joy and overcoming difficulties is a regrettable tragedy in the end.
