Simultaneous travel: I am rampaging in the domestic area

Chapter 34: The Case of the Missing Child

Xiao Li's Flying Dagger never misses its target.

Anyone who has used flying knives will never forget the name of this flying knife god.

His flying knife never missed, as long as it flew out, it would hit the enemy.

It’s very similar to what he just said.

"But is it possible that there are people who use idealism and cheat in martial arts?" Locke was speechless.

Cheaters are really everywhere.

So Locke used this flying knife trick to kill nine fish and had a full meal tonight.

the next day.

Locke continued to pick up the whip, raised the reins and led Duan Yu and the others towards Leigushan.

And by the way, he performed heroic deeds, killed some bandits, and earned idealistic bonds.

Tianlin Village.

Locke stopped here because when he was killing the bandits, he suddenly heard that someone's baby was stolen from Tianlin Village.

"Could it be Ye Erniang?"

Locke thought that this place was not far from Leigushan Mountain, just a few days' walk away.

It is normal that Ye Erniang, one of the four evil thieves, would be nearby.

"Brother Luo, there is a monk there. Maybe we can get some clues by asking him?" Duan Yu suddenly said.

He pointed to a bald little monk in the distance, because the Dali royal family liked to become monks.

So Duan Yu has a good impression of monks.

Locke looked over and saw that the bald little monk was neither ugly nor handsome, just an ordinary person.

"Let's ask the people in this village first." Locke said, leading Ajie and the others inside.

It was obvious that the monk had traveled a long way to get here and was not a local. How could he know who stole the baby that was lost in Tianlin Village?

Duan Yu scratched his head, but he knew that the brother Luo he was following was very prone to fighting injustice.

Whenever he heard that there were bandits or injustice happening somewhere, he would ride his donkey cart over there.

Recently, a name called the Donkey Swordsman has begun to spread in the nearby martial arts world.

"Uncle Zhu, I'll go find that monk. You and Brother Luo can go investigate." Duan Yu suddenly had an idea and said with a smile.

Zhu Danchen opened his mouth and smiled bitterly. He didn't know how this young master of his could have such wisdom.

What do you want to see that monk for?
He knows absolutely nothing.

"No, no, my intuition tells me that the little monk can be of great help to us." Duan Yu smiled confidently.

He waved to Zhu Danchen and walked towards the little monk.

Zhu Danchen was helpless, but he was wandering around Tianlin Village anyway. He didn't believe that such a small place would allow his son to disappear.

In the village.

Locke has found the family who lost their baby, Tian Er Niang. She is just an ordinary woman with simple clothes and rough skin.

She is only in her twenties, but looks like a woman in her forties.

"Sir, what do you want me to do?"

Tian Er Niang didn't look like a mother who had lost her child at all. When Locke came, she was still knitting clothes skillfully.

Seeing Locke coming, he was also very calm, stood up and spoke respectfully.

"My name is Locke." Locke now reveals his identity to everyone he meets, and then says that he heard that your family had lost a baby and came to help.

"Tian Erniang, why don't you thank Hero Locke quickly?" the village chief shouted hurriedly.

"Thank you, Hero Locke." Tian Er Niang said hurriedly.

"...Do you remember where your child disappeared?" Locke asked.

It was really hard to hold back the way xx did when he met someone without even saying thank you. It reminded him of the famous scene in his previous life.

You haven't expressed gratitude yet.

"My dear hero, it was in the fields at the east entrance of the village. I took him to work in the fields, but the moment I turned around, he disappeared."

Tian Erniang asked hurriedly. "Did you see anyone steal it?" Locke asked, gesturing to Ye Erniang's approximate age and characteristics.

But he no longer had much hope.

Because he heard that the field at the east entrance of the village was close to the forest, and wild beasts often came out to harm chickens and ducks.

It is very likely that Tian Erniang's children were taken away by the wild beasts in the mountains and eaten as chickens and ducks.

As expected, Tian Erniang shook her head and said, "Sir, I didn't see anyone."

"Do you remember when you disappeared?"

"Five days ago in the afternoon, when the sun was about to set, everyone had gone home, and I was the only one still hoeing the fields."

Tian Erniang said calmly.

Locke nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He asked the village chief to take him to see the field at the east entrance of the village.

"Brother Luo, are you not going to ask any more questions?" Duan Yu rushed over and was surprised to see that Locke didn't ask any more questions.

According to what he learned from the book, when questioning a witness, he should always take her with him. Even if she is not a witness, he should take her with him to identify the place.

"There's no need. Just have someone lead the way." Locke shook his head.

Signaled the village chief to continue leading the way.

Duan Yu nodded in confusion. "But that kid's mother is really insensitive. If my mother knew I was stolen, she would go crazy and cry bitterly."

Duan Yu sighed.

He looked at Tian Er Niang. After Locke left, Tian Er Niang went back to the door of the house and continued to knit clothes skillfully.

It's like he didn't know his child was stolen.

But he suddenly felt that the surroundings became quiet.

Duan Yu looked at the others in confusion. Locke frowned at him, and Ajie also clicked his tongue and muttered something about the eldest young master.

"Young Master..." Zhu Danchen hurriedly and quietly pulled the corner of Duan Yu's clothes.

Duan Yu looked over.

Zhu Danchen signaled with his eyes not to ask any more questions.

Duan Yu quickly shut up. Although he didn't know the specific reason, he knew how to read people's expressions.

Not long after, Locke and his companions arrived at the east entrance of the village.

This place is quite remote, with only a few families living here.

One of the families was an old woman. I heard that she had lost her child in her early years and almost went crazy.

When Locke walked towards the east entrance of the village, the old woman was still sighing with others, saying that there must be a mountain god in the mountains who was asking for children to be sacrificed from their Tianlin Village.

"There is no such thing as a mountain god. They are just monsters in the mountains that ignorant people don't know about and call themselves that." Duan Yu shook his head.

He didn't believe that the saints were wrong. The saints said that one should not talk about strange things, supernatural powers, or gods, so there must be no gods in this world.

Locke, however, thought that this was not necessarily the case, as the world had been distorted by him.

Just because there are no gods today doesn’t mean there won’t be gods in the future.

"Hero, this is where Tian Erniang's child was lost." The village chief said hurriedly and took them to the side of a paddy field.

This is a ridge of a field, and inside it is a sparse forest, which seems to lead to the deep mountains, vast, deep and unfathomable.

There were many footprints on the ridges of the fields, all left by people during the busy farming season. Locke took a look and couldn't tell whether they were footprints of wild animals or not.

"We can't find him like this." Duan Yu couldn't help but say that there were no traces to help them determine whether the child was stolen by a person or a wild beast.

This troublesome matter got stuck at the first step.

Locke didn't say anything. Instead, he put his hand on the hilt of the knife and focused his eyes on the ridge of the field.

Like a lake in the heart rippling open, he was the only one left here. Locke stepped on the stalks of the field, silently praying for his heart and eyes to open.

Idealistic forces respond.

Knocking on the lake of his heart, ripples spread to the depths of the mountains and forests.

Locke was stunned. He was really taken away by a wild beast.
