Chapter 26 Su Qi's Disappearance (Part 2)
"Grandma Cui, my mother went out this morning and has not come back yet." Li Xin explained.
"Hmph." Grandma Cui calmed down and snorted, saying, "Su Qi is gone, what does it have to do with me? Do you doubt me?" Grandma Cui spoke louder and louder, and she was very angry about Cui Jiu's suspicion.
The husband of the matchmaker Cui has been dead for many years. His two sons are plowing the land in the field, leaving two daughters-in-law and a six-year-old grandson in the family. Hearing the voice outside the house, the two daughters-in-law and grandson both ran out.
His eldest grandson called Cui Zeming. When he saw Li Xin here, he ran over, took Li Xin's hand, and asked happily: "Brother Xin, why are you here?" Before Li Xin could answer, he saw the tense scene between grandma and Cui Jiujian, so scared that he quickly let go of Li Xin's hand, hid behind his mother, and poked out his little eyes to see what was going on.
Cui Jiu opened his eyes wide and slapped the wooden stake next to him with a palm. The wooden stake was used to dry clothes, as thick as a bowl. When Cui Jiu slapped, the wooden stake was broken across the waist. With a "bang", it hit the dry soil, and the soil was smashed everywhere.
Everyone was startled by this scene, and Cui Zeming was so shocked that his mouth couldn't close. Li Xin said intimately: "Uncle Jiu's palm is at least a thousand pounds. If he cooperates with his big knife, he doesn't know what power it is."
Grandma Cui was also scared and trembled. If this palm hit her, the old bone would have been explained.
It was still the eldest daughter-in-law of the matchmaker Cui who came back to her senses first and said quickly: "Uncle Ninth and Sister-in-law Seventh are gone, it really has nothing to do with my mother. My mother has been at home today. Uncle He, who you just saw, came here in the morning. His son wanted to talk about marriage and talked with my mother for a long time."
Cui Jiu said in a deep voice: "I'll ask you if this matter has anything to do with you."
Li Xin said to Cui Da Matchmaker: "Grandma Cui, we are not suspicious of you, we just want to ask, my mother is gone, have you found any clues?"
Li Xin also thought that Grandma Cui is from the Yinfeng tribe of the Ba tribe. Her mouth is a bit vicious, but she is not bad. After all, she lives here as a fellow villager. Even if his mother is really missing, it should have nothing to do with her.
Grandma Cui said angrily: "After all the time, do you still doubt me? I, Grandma Cui, is the kind of person who abducts others? You who killed Qiandao, have killed me by killing Qiandao." Grandma Cui turned from anger to grief and couldn't help crying and scolding.
Cui Zeming ran over and pulled Cui Damian's clothes: "Grandma, grandma."
Grand Matchmaker Cui hugged Cui Zeming in his arms and continued to curse: "Cui Jiu, you, a killer who killed thousands of swords, will know that you are wronged. What does Su Qi have to do with you? You care so much about her and jump up and down for her. Besides, what does Su Qi have to do with me and what does it have to do with me? Are you relying on how many strength to bully me, the old woman? Don't you have a knife? Come on, come on, kill me, kill me." After that, he was about to pounce on Cui Jiu.
The two daughters-in-law of the matchmaker Cui quickly came over to hold her. Cui Jiu saw that the matchmaker Cui was playing tricks and turned around and ignored him.
This scene is a bit stalemate, and the eldest daughter-in-law of the matchmaker Cui said to Li Xin: "Li Xin, what's going on?"
Li Xin briefly talked about the situation and finally said: "We and my mother lived in Yinfeng tribe for more than 4 years. My mother is a gentle person. She has always been kind to others and has never had any quarrels with everyone. If you offend someone, you have offended Grandma Cui two days ago, so let's ask Grandma Cui."
The daughter-in-law still understood the truth and said, "My mother-in-law has been at home all the time today. How could it be related to your mother's disappearance? Besides, my mother is a kind-hearted and good-looking man. How could such a thing be done?"
At this time, the second wife spoke up: "Mom, I see Li Xin's mother today."
Li Xin was delighted, and it seemed that things had turned around. He quickly asked, "Where did you see my mother?"
Everyone present focused their eyes on the second wife. The sunset light shone through the gaps of the leaves and shone on the daughter-in-law there, like the spotlight on the stage, becoming the focus of the stage. The second wife was a little shy at first, and everyone was even more embarrassed to look at her.
"Uh...Uh..." The second wife's cheeks were as red as a monkey's butt, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.
Seeing that the second wife couldn't say a word for a long time, Matchmaker Cui was anxious and urgently cleared of the suspicion. She slapped the bamboo chair next to her in a hurry: "Why, what are you talking about?"
The eldest daughter-in-law also said, "Sister-in-law, don't be anxious. Just tell me what you see, don't be afraid." She glanced at Cui Jiu again: "Don't look at my brother and sister with murderous eyes. If you do this, my brother and sister will be frightened by you."
Cui Jiu quickly withdrew his murderous gaze, turned his head to the other side, and pricked up his ears to listen to his second wife's words.
The second wife began to talk about the situation: "I went to the river to wash clothes in the morning. When I was halfway through the washing, I saw Sister Su Qi coming. She even greeted me. I asked her what she was doing. She said, "She came to find some fine sand, and Li Xin was going to learn literature. At that time, I thought, what does it have to do with studying literature and finding fine sand? Do you think so?" She glanced at everyone with a question.
Li Xin said intimately: "Practicing writing on the sand table is too soft and you can't practice the pen tip. The sand is too hard and it is not suitable for those who just practice writing." He didn't say this, and they couldn't read, so it would be useless if they said it.
Matchmaker Cui said: "What do you care about these things? Tell me the key points."
The second wife said, "Oh. When I finished washing my clothes, I saw Sister Su Qi talking to two people from Miao Villages. I didn't think about it carefully at that time and came back."
"Miao Village?" Cui Da Miao, Cui Jiu and Li Xin exclaimed at the same time.
The three of them looked at each other.
Grand Matchmaker Cui said: "Miao Village has nothing to do with me. Manager Yu from Miao Village came to me yesterday afternoon. I have already told them what Su Qi refused. Miao Village said they would deal with it themselves."
Li Xin said intimately: "Do it yourself? No need to matchmakers, what else can you do? You can only use force. Is this the first ritual and then the army? If you don't eat toast, you will be punished for wine?"
After hearing this, Cui Jiu became calculating and said to Li Xin: "You go home first, I'll go to Miao Village."
Li Xin said: "I want to go too, I want to go to save my mother."
Cui Jiu thought about it. A Miao people, with only 50 young and strong people, are all hunters, who know how to archery skills. They can't compare with him, a person who has been in the martial arts world for more than ten years. It's not a big problem to ask for people. He said, "Follow me and don't run around."
"Okay!" Li Xin said to Grandma Cui again: "Grandma Cui, then we'll leave first and disturb you."
Grand Matchmaker Cui snorted without saying anything. She thought to herself that Cui Jiu, the plague god, was out quickly. As for going to Miao Village, it had nothing to do with her. What can she do if she is an old woman in this way? It would be better for Miao Village to teach Cui Jiu a lesson, who told him to show off his power based on his good skills?
Li Xin thanked the second wife again, thanking her for providing clues.
The two began to walk towards the Miao village. The sunset set, making their shadows grow old, old...
