Yanjing Fuyao Ji

In the living room on the first floor, Dong Changfeng was sitting on the sofa and kept making phone calls with an anxious expression on his face.

Seeing Chu Jiu running down, he waved to Chu Jiu, signaling him to sit beside him.

"Dad, what happened to Brother Dong Cang's house?" Chu Jiu asked anxiously.

Dong Changfeng sighed, and threw the phone aside: "It's the youngest son of your brother Dong Cang's family, and I can't find anyone."

"Is that the kid named Dong Ximing?" Chu Jiu pulled his father and asked, the boy's pale and innocent face appeared in his mind.

Dong Changfeng nodded and was about to speak when the phone rang again.

"Okay...ok...I'll be right there!" Dong Changfeng said to the other end of the phone.

"Follow me to Dong Cang's house." Dong Changfeng turned his head and said to Chu Jiu.

"I'll go upstairs to get some clothes." After Chu Jiu finished speaking, she flew upstairs.

Pushing open the door, he was surprised to find that Chunsheng had already left.The quilt that was messed up on the bed just now was spread neatly and flatly, as if nothing had happened.

This strange guy is acting like a demon again?

Without thinking about it, Chu Jiu took his coat and ran downstairs.

The driver was already waiting in the car, and Dong Changfeng got in with Chu Jiu. The black Bentley broke through the night and drove towards Dongjia Village.

Dong Cang's house has become a mess, and almost half of the village's elderly, women and children are crowded here.

Dong Cang's daughter-in-law wiped her tears and sat in the middle of the crowd.The eighth cousin sat on the right side and comforted her from time to time, and on her left side sat the oldest second master in the village.

Seeing Dong Changfeng and Chu Jiu, the crowd spontaneously gave way.

"What's the situation now? Have the police come?" Dong Changfeng asked the eighth cousin sitting next to Dong Cang's wife to comfort her.

The eighth cousin nodded: "I came here about half an hour ago. After learning about the situation, I took the people in the village to look for it in the crop fields, vegetable fields and orchards in front of and behind the village."

"Has someone been sent over to the shed?"

"went……"

"Have you looked for them in the village?"

"I searched from house to house..."

"..." Dong Changfeng fell into deep thought, couldn't it be that someone with ulterior motives took the child away?

"..." The people in the room followed him into deep thought, and the room that was noisy a second ago became quiet in an instant. Even the youngest child hugged his mother's neck tightly and stopped making a sound.

Suddenly a voice resounded in the crowd, like a thunderclap in the dark clouds, deafening.

"Not in the village...the child..." said an old, hoarse, slow and sonorous voice.

Everyone looked up one after another and found that the speaker was Er Ye sitting in the middle of the crowd.Due to his deafness, he speaks very loudly.

The second master is close to a hundred years old, and his hearing has gradually declined many years ago. Since then, the second master, who used to like to tell stories to the village juniors on the big bluestone at the entrance of the alley, has gradually fallen into silence. People in the village once thought he was Became deaf and dumb.

But at this moment, he suddenly made a sound, even his little daughter in her 60s was surprised.

"Not in the village, where is it? Do you know?" Dong Cang's daughter-in-law asked in tears.

At this time, the second master shook his head blankly, and slowly raised two fingers.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, what does this mean?

"Did the second grandfather mean that there are two children? That is, Dong Ximing is with other children?" Chu Jiu, who was standing beside Dong Changfeng, asked softly in his father's ear.He remembered meeting the girl in red when he came out from Dong Cang's house, and Dong Ximing who had sneaked out.

"I've checked everything, and there are not many other children in the village..." Eighth cousin said in a low voice.

Dong Changfeng glanced at Chu Jiu with disgust: "Don't make random guesses before you understand the situation!"

Chujiu: "..."

Chu Jiu resentfully raised his head and glanced at the second master who had returned to silence again. For some reason, he saw a trace of affirmation in the second master's eyes.

There is a place that must be visited!A voice sounded in Chu Jiu's mind.

"Dad, I'll go out and help find Xiao Ming!" Chu Jiu said to Dong Changfeng.

The dignified Dong Changfeng seemed to be thinking about something again, as if he didn't hear what Chu Jiu said.

Chu Jiu didn't wait for him to reply, turned around and pushed aside the crowd, and squeezed out from Dong Cang's house.

Most of the roads in the village have no street lights. Fortunately, the moon is big and round tonight. On the ninth day of the lunar new year, I walked all the way to my grandfather's old house under the moonlight.

As usual, it was General Tie who guarded the door, and as usual, climbed over the wall with his bare hands and entered.

Chujiu found that the main room that he and Chunsheng tidied up that day was a little messy, and the tables and chairs had been moved by someone. It was obvious that someone had been there.It should be the person who came to find the child.

He casually lifted the sheet and took a look. The boxes under the bed were still in place, and the basement of the library should not have been discovered yet.

There should be some clues here, Chu Jiu carefully checked every corner of the room with the light of the mobile phone, but found nothing except a tiny ball of red fur under the legs of the desk.

Just as he bent down to check the writing desk, the door of the main room, which he had concealed, opened silently.

Chu Jiu turned around abruptly, the phone light shone on a pair of dark green eyes.

"Cow, they have been here, right?" Chu Jiu casually asked the cat, not expecting it to answer.

Naturally there will be no answer.

"Do you know where they went?" Chu Jiu turned around and continued to check the desk.

"Meow..." The cow suddenly called out.

Chu Jiu turned around in surprise, did the cat understand human words?

What surprised him even more was that the cow got up and started to walk out. While walking, she looked back at Chu Jiu, which seemed to say: Come on, come with me!

Chu Jiu quickly stepped up to keep up, and the man's intuition told him that the cat should know something.

The cow jumped onto the wall, and Chu Jiu also jumped out of the yard.

The cow walked lightly on the outer wall of the alley with a real catwalk, and Chu Jiu in the alley followed it closely.

Under the moonlight, one person and one cat follow each other like a shadow.

The cow finally stopped on the courtyard wall of a family at the end of the village, sat up straight and stared into the distance.

Going forward, you will leave the village, and a small road stretches out into the distance.

Could it be that they left from here?Where does this path lead?

Chu Jiu took out his mobile phone and opened the map... However, this kind of village road is not displayed on the electronic map...

He swiped back and forth on the phone screen twice, and was surprised to find that walking in this direction led to the lake.

Just looking at the map, there are still two or three kilometers away from the lake.

Chu Jiu walked along the path for a while, and found that he came to a national road.A person on a bicycle passed by him, Chu Jiu hurriedly reached out to stop him.

"Uncle, where is this road going?" Chu Jiu asked.

The uncle on the bicycle was obviously taken aback by Chu Jiu, and he pulled out a stick out of nowhere, apparently preparing to defend himself: "Who are you? What are you doing?"

"I'm from Dongjia Village..." Chu Jiu said.

"You? From Dongjia Village?" The uncle turned on the headlamp on his head and looked at Chu Jiu up and down with a suspicious expression on his face.When did the people in Dongjia Village switch to Yanjing dialect?Looking at the boy's outfit, he doesn't look like an ordinary villager.

Chu Jiu's eyes were dazzled by his headlights: "I'm really from Dongjiacun, why should I lie to you?"

"I know everyone in Dongjia Village, but I've never seen you before!" the uncle looked at the Patek Philippe on Chu Jiu's wrist and shook his head.This watch is so bright, it costs one or two thousand, right?

"My hometown is Dongjia Village..." Chu Jiu explained, "You just said that you know everyone in Dongjia Village, so do you know Dong Cang?"

At this time, a thin cloud drifted past, half covering the moon, and the surrounding light suddenly became much darker, leaving only the uncle's headlamp glowing dimly in the misty night.

"Dong Cang? You mean Dong Cang from the furniture factory?" The uncle's expression changed.

"Hmm..." It's bad, this uncle probably has some trouble with Dong Cang, right?If I knew it earlier, I would have reported the name of the Second Great Master... Chu Jiu almost bit his tongue in regret.

"I know him, who are you?" The uncle glanced at Chu Jiu.

"Dong Cang... is my elder brother..." Chu Jiu said bravely, he wondered how much enmity the folks in this village could have?The big deal is that when the uncle does something later, he will run away by himself.

"Say it earlier!" The uncle's expression suddenly became lively, and he reached out and patted Chu Jiu's shoulder: "Manager Dong helped our village primary school solve the problem of tables, chairs and benches. He is a good person!" After speaking, he extended his thumb.

Chu Jiu subconsciously raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, hey, I'm going, it's a false alarm.

"By the way, what did you ask me just now?" The uncle smiled.

On the ninth day of the ninth day, he raised his forehead again, did the uncle dare to forget everything he said just now?

"Just now I asked you, where does this path lead to..." Chu Jiu patiently explained again.

"Oh, this path leads to the lake, but it's not easy if you go through here and go on..." The uncle put the stick back in the front basket of the car, and pointed to the electric car back. Backseat, "If you're going there, why not come with me, drop by, I'll take you with me!"

Chu Jiu looked at the headlamp on his head: "Are you going fishing?"

"You discovered all of this?" The uncle smiled, "On the piece of water in front, the fish are very fat and love to bite the hook. I heard that in ancient times it was the emperor's fish pond..."

The emperor's... fish pond...

Chu Jiuxin said that this folklore is really boldly conceived, everything can be connected together...

What the uncle said next shocked him so much that he almost fell off the back seat of the car.

"This piece of water was called Tongtian in ancient times. It is said that it can lead directly to the heaven, so there are a lot of fish here, and there are dragons in the legend!"

Babel!dragon!

Chu Jiu's eyes widened, as if he was staring at somewhere in the void - weren't these all mentioned in the family tree of the turtle shell?

"But those are all legends... By the way, I haven't asked you yet, young man, what are you doing there in the middle of the night?"

"I..." Chu Jiu quickly organized words in his mind.

"I see, are you going to meet someone's girl? When I was young..." The uncle helped him smooth things over before Chu Jiu's nonsense was finished.

The evening breeze on the country road was cool, Chu Jiu wrapped his coat tightly and sat on the back seat of the uncle's car, listening to him babbling about his glorious deeds for a lifetime, and at the same time carefully paying attention to the people around him. There was no trace of Dong Ximing passing by.

The uncle was quite familiar with this area, and he led Chu Jiu along certain unknown paths at full speed, passed a large orchard and fish ponds, and arrived at the water's edge in more than ten minutes.

It was late at night, and the lake was very quiet.When Chu Jiu got out of the car, the uncle suddenly pulled his sleeve: "Young man, take this and use it!"

Chu Jiu looked down, and the uncle took off his headlight and gave it to him.

"It's dark here, and you're not familiar with the terrain. What if the girl can't find you? Don't worry about me, I have another one, one for use and one for backup! And they are all waterproof, for divers, you can use them at ease Let's go!" Sure enough, the uncle took out another one from his bag.

After thanking the uncle, Chu Jiu walked along the shore of the lake to the distance.He hasn't made the worst assumption yet, he would rather believe that Dong Ximing may have fallen asleep in a warm grass nest...

at this time……

"thump!"

Suddenly there was a sound from the lake a hundred meters away.

Someone overboard?

Shocked in Chu Jiu's heart, she suddenly turned her head and followed the prestige...
