The real daughter is really not a human being

It took Sun half an hour to walk during the day, and Yaoguang arrived in a moment.

Although there was a curfew in the capital, the inn was still quite lively. A few candles were burning in the hall, and there were guests drinking wine.

The shopkeeper during the day was now sitting in front of the counter, looking drowsy.

Some things have to be done quickly.

Yaoguang stood on the roof opposite the inn, thought for a moment, took out the stones she had prepared in her arms, and threw them at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper who was lying on the counter seemed to be extremely sleepy. He fell off his chair, making quite a noise, which startled the guests nearby and made them come over to take a look.

"The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper?"

"You must be so sleepy, how come you're still not awake after falling to the ground?"

"Then let's send the shopkeeper back."

After a burst of excitement, two waiters helped the unconscious shopkeeper to the back room, put him on the bed, and then went to the front to greet the guests.

The two people came and went in a hurry, only remembering to light the candles but forgetting to blow them out.

The backyard was quiet for a moment, and a petite figure was reflected through the door and window.

Yaoguang rushed into the shopkeeper's room, stood beside the bed, and strangled the man mercilessly to wake him up.

The burly middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes after feeling a sharp pain. When he saw the little girl in front of him was a little dazed, he met her dark eyes and his gaze widened again.

High-end hypnosis often only requires the simplest method, such as a look.

Hypnosis was regarded as miraculous in the place where Yaoguang originally lived, but it was actually just a way for psychologists to provide psychological counseling.

After the end of the world and the evolution of human beings, hypnosis has evolved again and seems to have become much more powerful.

What Yaoguang learned in the base was an enhanced version of hypnosis.

This was the first time she used it on someone after learning it.

"Recall the memories of Qiao Xun in your mind..." Yaoguang said directly.

The human brain is a magical thing. Even if some memories have been forgotten, the subconscious mind will still help you remember them.

Yaoguang asked the shopkeeper a lot of questions about Qiao Xun.

Where Qiao Xun went, Qiao Xun's things, and the people Qiao Xun usually interacted with.

Yaoguang got a lot of information from the shopkeeper, and even followed the clues to find several people who were good friends with her cousin.

Some people failed the exam and became depressed in the red-light district, while others became minor officials and got married.

Others are still studying hard in the inn, waiting to be named on the list of successful candidates next year.

The night is long, leaving Yaoguang with plenty of time.

Yaoguang spent a whole night wandering around the capital city and found all the people she needed to find.

Finally, I came to the conclusion that my cousin was really missing.

The place of disappearance was Hanshan Temple outside the capital.

After my cousin finished his exam, he went to Hanshan Temple with his good friend to burn incense. It seemed that something happened in the temple, and many soldiers surrounded the temple for several days.

No news leaked out, and the news about my cousin came to nothing.

When asking about Qiao Xun's good friend who was an official, Yaoguang also learned from him about the situation of Hanshan Temple.

A name was obtained, Xu Yi, the imperial guard with a sword, who was responsible for sealing off Hanshan Temple.

So, she had to go to the palace to find someone.

Yaoguang jumped out of the window, looked at the gradually fading night in the east, and prepared to take action again after dark.

-

Yaoguang secretly ran back to Sun before dawn and lay in the same bed with her.

After Sun woke up, he pretended to be woken up by her and got up.

Perhaps because of a good night's sleep, Sun's mood was not as low as before.

As the saying goes, if a person is alive, he must be seen; if he is dead, he must be seen with his body. As long as Sun has not seen his grandson's body, he will not believe that anything has happened to his grandson.

So he took Yaoguang and went to the inn again, ready to ask the innkeeper about his grandson.

What a coincidence, several people who were good friends with Qiao Xun, the ones Yaoguang questioned last night, all dreamed of Qiao Xun last night.

Especially the tiredness that came over them when they woke up in the morning and the content of their dreams, they could not ignore them and could not help but want to look for any trace of Qiao Xun.

When the old friends met, they thought it was just a coincidence. However, when they heard Sun asking about Qiao Xun at the counter, their faces changed drastically.

After Yaoguang's hypnosis last night, the shopkeeper's attitude towards Sun improved a lot.

He even apologized: "I looked through the account book yesterday and found that Mr. Qiao had already paid the rent. I am really sorry for taking more money from you yesterday. There are still some things of Mr. Qiao, and I asked the waiter to find them. There are still some that I haven't found, I will convert them into silver to compensate you..."

The shopkeeper found a box today and packed up all of Qiao Xun's remaining things. Some of Qiao Xun's clothes had long been taken by the shopkeeper, and some were worn or sold. Only an inkstone and some miscellaneous valuable items were left.

For example, a small jade gourd inherited from the Qiao family was originally withheld by the shopkeeper, but has now been handed over.

Adding the money he had asked Sun for before, all in all he lost was more than four taels of silver.

In the past, this was a considerable sum of money, but Sun was still not interested in it.

Still asked about the news about Qiao Xun.

After Yaoguang's subconscious digging yesterday, the shopkeeper really remembered a lot of things, but there was not much useful information.

"Mr. Qiao left on February 21st and never came back..."

On February 21st, Sun silently recited this date in her heart, and a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes.

The few people who had been standing at the back and listening for a long time looked at each other and had the answer in their hearts. Could it be that Brother Qiao’s family came to find them?

Could it be that Brother Qiao came to me in my dream last night?

I don’t know whether it was because of guilt or fear of ghosts and gods.

Several people took the initiative to approach Sun and talk to her, explaining their identities and their relationship with Qiao Xun, and even offered to help Sun find out the cause of Qiao Xun's death, no, to help find Qiao Xun.

Sun, who was still immersed in the pain of losing her grandson yesterday, met so many kind people today. She was overwhelmed for a while but was extremely excited.

Is it really the blessing of the Qiao family’s ancestors?

Yes!

That must be it!

Sun thanked all his ancestors in his heart and talked with several people, and finally found out where his grandson was last seen.

Hanshan Temple...

If you go to Hanshan Temple, you will find the answer!

After seeing off Sun and Yaoguang, several former good friends gathered together to discuss matters concerning Qiao Xun.

"Heming, Zifeng, you two have important matters to attend to. Let me accompany Brother Qiao's grandmother to Hanshan Temple tomorrow!" Zhu Luo spoke first.

One of them had to go to the yamen to be on duty, and the other had to go to the teacher to review. Unlike me, I was very idle every day.

"Then it's hard work for you."
