The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

Gu Zhanghua and Hao Xiong were drinking tea and chatting in Zhao Xuan and Xiao Yixian's room.

Hao Xiong scratched a big red mosquito bite on his arm.

"I've noticed there are a lot of mosquitoes here. I hung up a mosquito net last night, and they bit me a lot! Little Doctor Fairy, the anti-mosquito ointment you gave me doesn't seem to be working!"

The Little Medical Fairy looked a little gloomy, with eyes full of loss.

"Coming to Guze Town was a real shock. The detoxification pills weren't very effective, and the ointment for mosquito bites wasn't any good either!"

Zhao Xuan hurriedly comforted Xiao Yixian and hugged her shoulders affectionately.

"Sister, you don't have to be so discouraged, and you don't have to question your medical skills. It's not that the medicine you prescribed is problematic, but that you have never been so far south.

There are many dense forests, swamps and lakes around here, and the terrain and landscape are very different from the places we have been to before."

Gu Zhanghua was also very annoyed.

"Before, I only knew about the fragrance of rice flowers and the sound of frogs, but last night I heard the buzzing of mosquitoes, and was woken up several times by the buzzing of mosquitoes outside the tent!"

The Little Medical Fairy smiled at Zhao Xuan.

"I'll go to the pharmacy and ask. They must have some special mosquito repellent made locally. I'll also ask the owner for advice. This trip to Guze Town has really benefited me a lot."

Gu Zhanghua suddenly smiled.

"Speaking of mosquitoes, I think of an interesting thing. I once read a poem in a book that was specifically about mosquitoes. It talked about how terrible mosquitoes were where the poet lived.

The poem begins by saying, "There are mosquitoes everywhere in the world, waiting for the night to bite people's skin."

Zhao Xuan quickly raised her hand to interrupt Gu Zhanghua.

"Stop! Stop right there! You're trying to tell a story in plain language, just translate it for us. I understand there are mosquitoes in the world, but I don't understand the last five words at all!"

Zhao Xuan said this while looking at Hao Xiong and Xiao Yixian. She didn't understand why they wanted to drag someone else down with them.

"Do you two understand?"

Hao Xiong and Xiao Yixian both gave Zhao Xuan face and shook their heads at the same time. It was unclear whether they understood or not.

Gu Zhanghua pinched Zhao Xuan's nose lovingly.

"When I finish these things and return to Liyang, I will continue to teach you to read, and you will continue to teach me to practice martial arts."

Zhao Xuan smiled and pinched Gu Zhanghua's face.

"Okay, okay, keep telling your story. I love listening to it!"

Hao Xiong and Xiao Yixian were already used to the two showing affection from time to time. One of them was drinking tea, while the other was looking up at the roof with his arms folded.

Gu Zhanghua and Zhao Xuan laughed and joked for a while, then continued telling stories about mosquitoes.

"The poet said that there are mosquitoes everywhere in the world, and they come out to bite people at night. The mosquitoes in his home are particularly terrible.

He used the word "tu" in his poem, which means massacre. He said that the mosquitoes near his home came out to kill people in broad daylight.

When it is windy and rainy, the mosquitoes there are even more crazy, flying out in swarms from the reeds and water plants. Each one is black and big, almost the size of an ant!

Swarms of mosquitoes covered the sky, buzzing like thunder, chasing the boats on the river, scaring the boatmen so much that they dared not stay there.

The people within a hundred miles around were scared to death of the mosquitoes in his house. There is an idiom that goes "one changes color when hearing the tiger", and everyone is scared to death when hearing the mosquito, the mosquito of the mosquito.

The poet also said that if a mosquito bites you, your blood will dry up and your muscles will break, and you will die!

Hao Xiong jumped up from his chair.

"Oh my goodness! The mosquitoes here are just like the ones in your story. I tried to scare them away with a fan last night, but my hands were sore.

I slept with the quilt covering my head, and the mosquitoes' mouths were like the acupuncture needles of the Little Doctor Fairy, they could penetrate the quilt! Later I remembered to put up the mosquito net!

Hao Xiong stretched out his arm in front of Xiao Yixiang and pointed at the big red bite caused by the mosquito.

"Help me check quickly. Is it poisonous? Will I die from the mosquito bite?"

The little doctor fairy turned her head away angrily.

"Go away! The medicine I prescribed isn't very effective, it's not ineffective!"

Zhao Xuan asked Gu Zhanghua, "Isn't the poet in your story exaggerating? Are the mosquitoes in his home really that scary?"

Gu Zhanghua thought about it.

"It's a bit of an exaggeration, but in places with lots of lakes and rivers, mosquitoes are really strong, and it's not impossible for them to bite people to death."

"How about we go to the pharmacy and buy some medicine now?"

As the two were discussing, Guan Liushui pushed the door open and walked in. He picked up a cup of tea from the table, poured it into his mouth, and wiped his mouth.

Hao Xiong looked at Guan Liushui in confusion.

"Why are you so anxious? What happened?"

Guan Liushui looked at everyone and his expression became extremely heavy.

"Let me tell you, one thing is certain. For over a decade, no one in the Vietnamese military or government has cared about the lives of those twenty soldiers. Otherwise, if they had just sent someone to investigate, they would have been able to get to the bottom of the matter."

Gu Zhanghua asked hurriedly, "What did you find out?"

"I sought advice from an old woman who was good at singing folk songs, and she told me this while we were chatting.

That garrison team suddenly disappeared overnight. The people in the town suspected that they had received an emergency order and evacuated quickly that night. They left in a hurry!

Gu Zhanghua analyzed.

"It's not impossible. After the emergency withdrawal, they will return to their hometowns or be incorporated into other organizations.

"Hero Hu has checked and found that none of them have returned to their hometowns. Could it be that they have been incorporated into other armies? Are they no longer under the jurisdiction of Baihuazhou?"

Didn’t their families come to look for them?”

"I didn't ask about that. I was afraid the old lady would get suspicious if I asked too much."

Hao Xiong sighed.

"I've looked at the military records that Hero Hu gave us. These twenty men come from different villages and towns in Yue State. They're all children from poor families. They've been in the army for years and haven't returned. Do their families dare to ask the military for their release?"

"Keep your voice down!"

Guan Liushui stood up, closed the window, and turned around to say to everyone.

"I also got an important clue. There's a soldier named Shen Xiaobao on the military roster. He was in love with a girl named Ayiduo from the town.

He went to a jewelry store to order a silver bracelet for Ayiduo. If we can find this girl, we might be able to uncover new clues."

Gu Zhanghua pulled Zhao Xuan up and said, "This is easy! You two take a rest first, and we'll go out and ask."

Zhao Xuan was a little worried: "How should I ask? Who should I ask? Don't ask nonsense!"

Gu Zhanghua looked at Zhao Xuan helplessly.

"Can't you have a little faith in me? Let's first ask Guo'er where her parents live. Let's go find Guo'er and ask her, or ask her parents."

"You're right!"

The two men came to the lobby of the inn. Gu Zhanghua saw the inn owner wiping the counter and walked over.

"Boss, I want to ask you something. I see that you are quite familiar with the girl you brought us here yesterday. Do you know where her parents live?

She helped us a lot and used the detoxification pill to detoxify the miasma for us. We want to go to her parents' home to express our gratitude."

The innkeeper continued working and looked up at Gu Zhanghua.

"You mean Guo'er? Her parents' home isn't far from the inn. Go to the end of the road, turn right, go two blocks, and ask around in Tonghe Lane. You'll find her there."

Gu Zhanghua thanked the boss and walked out of the inn with Zhao Xuan. Suddenly, he heard the boss muttering behind him.

"The poor child has been without a father since childhood. He has not grown up crooked. He is helpful and enthusiastic. It is not easy for Ayiduo to raise Guoer alone!"
