Chapter 171: My Sister Is Gone
Knowing that you didn't find him for a day is a ticking time bomb!
If something happens one day, I'm afraid she will regret it for the rest of her life.
Therefore, when I got home, I immediately rushed to the study.
looked at the suspicious gaze of the wild fox on the road, and after quickly talking about what happened just now, he looked at him seriously.
"Why don't we leave after we've dealt with the affairs of Ji Zhai, okay? Otherwise, I can't rest assured. ”
Lu Chiye knew that the two sisters had a deep relationship, and looking at Qiu Yan's extremely anxious appearance, he still nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." As he spoke, he pulled Qiu Yan to sit down next to him.
Gently scratched her nose and said very affectionately.
"In the future, just tell me this kind of thing, don't be so careful, we are husband and wife."
"I know," Qiu Yan whispered a little shyly.
"Even if it's a husband and wife, I have to discuss this important matter with you. Otherwise, don't you think I'm too domineering? ”
"How so?" Lu Chiye couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, suddenly approached her ear, and said coldly.
"As long as you say it, how can I not agree? Is Madame so unconfident in her own charms? ”
After saying that, he actually breathed in her ear.
Qiu Yan's ears are already sensitive, where can he withstand such a teasing, he blushes and heartbeats in an instant.
Soon, after reacting, he was a little surprised to find that he seemed to be very different from himself in the past two days.
After clearing his throat, he directly drained the strong tea in the cup, and after forcibly keeping himself awake, he looked at him with a smile.
"Don't tell me honestly, have you been hiding any careful thoughts recently? I noticed that the head of the Lu family seems to like sticking to me lately. ”
Lu Chiye just smiled. There was no positive answer.
Actually, Qiu Yan really didn't guess wrong, these days, the reason why he took the initiative to walk with Qiu Yan more and more sticky was to hope that she would learn to rely more on herself.
In this way, he will definitely not leave him in the future.
As long as he thought of the scholar who was almost chasing after him before, Lu Chi was extremely angry in his heart.
He knew how likable Qiu Yan's personality was.
And in a few days, they will have to go to the capital.
At that time, more and more young talents will inevitably notice how good Qiu Yan is, and he doesn't want any rotten peach blossoms to continue to appear around her.
But these careful thoughts, you must not tell Qiu Yan.
Otherwise, this eccentric lady of his family would not know what would happen to him behind his back in the future.
As a result, the two of them had just arranged for someone to continue to track down the relevant matters of Ji Zhai, and planned to stay here for two more days.
When the matter here was completely taken care of, at dawn the next day, both of them had not yet crawled out of the warm bed, and they were already awakened by the rapid knocking on the door outside.
Lu Chiye sat up from the bed with his eyes closed, and shouted to the people outside with some irritability.
"Are there any rules? What do you want to do early in the morning? ”
"Master, ma'am, something is wrong! Just now, the Qiu County Order arranged for someone to come over and spread the news, saying that Mrs.'s sister suddenly disappeared, and I want to ask the two of you to hurry up and take a look! ”
"What?" As soon as Qiu Yan heard this, he was so frightened that he disappeared without a trace in an instant, and immediately sat up from the bed and shouted to the little guy outside.
"I'll come now, you can arrange for someone to contact my father!"
After saying that, he immediately got dressed and got out of bed.
After quickly running next door to get cold water and washing his face, he changed his clothes and kept urging Lu Chiye.
"Let's go! Let's go to my sister's house to see, how did it suddenly become like this? ”
"Don't panic, don't panic, since my father-in-law asked someone to come over to spread the word, presumably he also knows about this matter, let's go over and take a look."
Lu Chiye agreed, so he took Qiu Yan's hand, and the two got into the carriage and rushed towards Qiu Miaomiao's house.
At this time, Qiu Xian Ling was already waiting outside.
Seeing Qiu Yan and them coming, he hurriedly explained what happened early in the morning.
"Last night I went to inspect a small village nearby, and because it was getting late, I stayed there for the night."
"Early this morning, I originally planned to tell her something by the way when I passed by your sister's house, but when I arrived, the door of your sister's house was wide open, and there were still some traces of a fight in the house, you can take a look."
As he spoke, Qiu Xian Ling moved out of the way a little.
Lu Chiye carefully asked about the time when the Qiu County Order arrived just now, and then said to Qiu Yan with a frown.
"My father-in-law came very early, and according to my sister's previous living time, I should still be resting at home at that time."
"Yes, husband, take a look, there are fingernail marks on this table."
"My sister must have deliberately stayed after finding out that someone wanted to do something to her, let's go to the room and have a look."
After speaking, Qiu Yan took the lead and walked inside.
At this time, the futon has no temperature, but the marks on the bed are still neat.
It should be Qiu Miaomiao's wake-up in the morning, going to the thatched house or drinking water, but she just came out of the room, and when she walked to the outer hall, she was discovered.
Then, the two went through a fight.
Qiu Miaomiao was taken away because she couldn't completely resist the other party.
Looking at the frowning appearance of the husband and wife, Qiu Xian Ling hurriedly said beside him.
"Actually, after I found out that something was wrong, I had already arranged for someone to immediately go to the vicinity to track and investigate the specific situation, but I was afraid that you would be worried, so I specially arranged for someone to tell you."
"Thank you, father, but this happened so strangely."
Qiu Yan sat on a small bench next to her, beckoned Qiu Xian Ling and Lu Chiye to sit down together, and suddenly remembered the strange figure she found when she and her sister were on the street yesterday.
Word by word, a few words were squeezed out from between the lips and teeth.
"I suddenly felt that that figure was really quite suspicious!"
"Ma'am, do you see what that man looks like? If we know, let's immediately have the portrait take a closer look. Lu Chiye immediately asked.
"I just don't know, that's why I feel troublesome." Qiu Yan propped up her chin in distress.
"If it wasn't for my sister's reminder at that time, I wouldn't have noticed that someone was wandering around me."
"There were a lot of people on the street at that time, but the person in the back probably also found my sister talking to me about him, and I just turned my head, and he disappeared into the crowd like a loach, what can I do?"
Qiu Xian Ling heard that there were no useful clues now, and his face was a little ugly.
However, they can't just sit back and wait, so they can only decide how many ways to divide their troops.
Qiu County Ling continued to take people to investigate everywhere to see if there would be a new face in the city.
As for Qiu Yan and his wife, they went back to arrange people first, focusing on investigating in various remote street corners and the like.
The two discussed as they walked.
They always felt that if Qiu Miaomiao was really taken away by Ji Zhai, or was kidnapped by someone else, the only possibility was that it came for them.
Therefore, sooner or later, the kidnappers will take the initiative to show up and come to them.
Therefore, the two deliberately did not go to the shop that day, and only called the shopkeeper at home, and the steward came to report the relevant situation.
Seeing that twilight was falling, Qiu Yan simply solved the dinner without knowing the taste, and just sat down in the courtyard, a maid walked over quickly and said.
"Madam, a little beggar outside came to deliver a letter, saying that please Madame, please go out and have a look."
"What kind of little beggar? Where did it come from? ”
Qiu Yan agreed, his steps were faster than his brain's reaction, and he immediately ran in the direction of the gate.
"The slave doesn't know either, but the little beggar said that this matter is very important, and I ask you to go and see for yourself, Madame."
The maid hurriedly ran a few steps faster, and after helping Qiu Yan open the door first, she saw that her wife was already standing anxiously at the door.
A little beggar covered in dirty clothes and patched clothes was standing right in the doorway.
Seeing Qiu Yan come out, while nibbling on the steamed buns in his hand, he gave her the letter handed to him by the mysterious man, and said in a milky voice.
"Madame, I have been asked to give it to you, and I want you to do what is said in this letter."
"Okay, I see, thanks." Qiu Yan half-squatted down, and he didn't care about the dirtiness of this little beggar, and looked at him gently.
"Can you tell me what the person who sent you the letter looks like?"
"I really don't know about that." The little beggar shook his head in embarrassment.
"All I know is a man, who speaks roughly, is quite tall, and is covered in black clothes and wears a mask, which is quite scary."
"But he didn't tell me what his name was, let alone provide any important clues, and after giving me two steamed buns, he let me come over."
This little beggar was very organized, but Qiu Yan was also a little disappointed when he heard what he said.
Although she also knew that since the mysterious man dared to let the little beggar deliver a letter, he would never expose himself, but there was no news of her sister, and she was still relieved.
After giving the little beggar two copper plates, he took the letter and walked towards the house.
Lu Chiye was already waiting for her in the house, watching Qiu Yan walk in dejectedly, and hurriedly patted her on the shoulder comfortingly.
took the initiative to say, "Don't worry, at least a letter will be sent, which can prove that my sister should be safe now, let's take a look at what this person wants to do." ”
After speaking, he took the initiative to pull out the letter from Qiu Yan's hand.
After unfolding it, I found that there was an address written on it, mixed with a relatively scribbled map.
It was mentioned in the letter that Qiu Miaomiao was there, and if they wanted to save people, they would have to go alone.
Once you find out that there is anything unusual, you will die with Qiu Yan and the couple.
After reading the letter, the faces of the two of them became a little solemn.
