Chapter 5 Aunt Chen is Missing
The group continued walking northward for two hours under the scorching sun, but there was no sign of Zhuangzi.
Lin Hua couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Uncle Fu, how far is it?"
Uncle Fu's old face was sunburned red, and the sweat on his forehead dripped down his cheeks, but his steps were still steady, and the flatbed truck didn't even shake at all.
He cleared his throat and said, "Don't worry, Second Miss. Zhuangzi is fifty miles away from the capital. We have been walking for more than two hours. I estimate that we have already walked halfway."
Lin Hua's expression froze, his shoulders slumped, and his eyes almost became dull.
Chen Nan patted her shoulder, supported her lower back with his hand, lent her some strength, and pushed her forward.
In fact, Chen Nan was a person who was extremely afraid of heat. Now she was wearing layers of ancient costumes. Even if she took off a heavy outer robe, she still had many layers on her body and she was almost melting from the heat.
In addition, the original Su Chengnan rarely walked, so Chen Nan really relied on his breath.
Holding on.
Lin Hua gradually realized that something was wrong with Chen Nan, so he quickly pushed her hand away and took over to support her.
The two people supported each other as they walked forward, and it seemed that they had a very deep sisterhood.
Uncle Fu behind him could not help but nod his head, and with tears in his eyes he sighed at Su Weimin's body:
"The two young ladies have grown up!"
"Now not only have we put aside our past grudges, but we can also help each other!"
"Don't worry, Lord Hou, the Su family will definitely get better in the future!"
After Chen Nan vaguely heard Uncle Fu's voice, she already had a plan in mind on how to completely win over this extremely important butler.
But she was really exhausted at this time, and she felt that it would not be too late to do some things when she arrived at the village.
The climate this year is abnormal and it is still hot in early autumn.
Along the way, the trees on both sides of the official road were all withered, and there were no edible fruits to be seen.
After walking for such a long time, everyone was not only hot and thirsty, but also very hungry!
"Hey, I'm so hungry."
"Me too, I really want to drink some water."
"If I had known, I would have eaten more breakfast this morning."
Someone in the team was complaining quietly.
Chen Nan and Lin Hua would never tell the secret of the space to outsiders, so they had no way to solve these problems for the time being. They could only pretend they didn't hear anything and continue walking with their heads down.
After a while, Lin Hua couldn't help it anymore.
"Sister Nan, do you want some Snickers?"
"besides?"
"They're all in the car refrigerator. There are probably six or seven left."
"Then let's share one and save some money."
Before traveling through time, the two drove to the northwest to work, so they each brought a lot of things with them.
Chen Nan was going to inspect the filming location for an advertisement, and most of the items he brought were electronic devices. Lin Hua was planning to make a set of outdoor food videos, so he brought a lot of outdoor pots and seasonings and ingredients.
"Sister Nan, come here."
"Um."
The two men used the handkerchiefs to cover themselves and each ate half a Snickers bar.
Chen Nan sighed: This high-calorie food is indeed a magic weapon to restore physical strength!
Lin Hua wiped the corner of his mouth, feeling a little unsatisfied.
Then she changed the subject and began to complain with a frown.
"Sister Nan, this road is so bad! The stones hurt my feet!"
"Yes, fortunately Zhuangzi is only fifty miles away, not too far."
Lin Hua pinched his legs and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"How about we try to start a shoe business?"
"Where do you want me to get rubber in this situation?!" Chen Nan was embarrassed.
Lin Hua pouted, "Oh, that's right! Then I'll write it down in my little notebook and talk about it later."
As a self-media blogger, she often struggles with choosing topics, so she has become accustomed to writing down her inspirations.
Chen Nan nodded in agreement.
Doing business must be put on the agenda, and through doing business, the money in the space can be transferred to the surface naturally.
Otherwise, everything will be difficult without money!
Especially in an era when women had a low status, if they wanted to live a good life, they not only had to stick together for warmth, but also had to continue to accumulate wealth.
Once they settle down in the village, making money will be their top priority!
The sky gradually darkened...
At this time, a soft and chirping sound came from behind.
"Big sister, second sister!"
"Wait for me~"
Chen Nan stopped and turned around to see a half-meter-tall girl running towards him.
The little girl hugged her legs with her left hand and grabbed the edge of Lin Hua's skirt with her right hand, panting and saying:
"Tong'er can't walk anymore..."
"Sister, can we... take a break?"
Chen Nan's body was stiff and his brows were tightly knitted together, almost squeezing his entire face together.
Lin Hua knew that Chen Nan didn't like children, so he quickly squatted down and pulled the baby to his side to coax her.
"Third sister, we are almost there, just ahead."
"Second sister, Tong'er really can't walk anymore...Tong'er's feet are swollen."
The little girl cried out "Wow" and she lifted up her skirt, revealing a pair of pink embroidered shoes.
Chen Nan looked down and saw that a hole had been worn out on the edge of her shoe, and her toes were red and swollen, and even bleeding.
Although Chen Nan doesn't like to interact with children, she still has compassion.
"Where's your aunt?!"
"Have you always walked by yourself?"
The two asked the same question at the same time.
Su Yutong cried more and more sadly. Her lips trembled and she raised her little arm and pointed behind her, "Auntie...she doesn't want me anymore..."
Chen Nan's face darkened, "What do you mean I don't want you anymore?"
Chen Nan searched through his original body's memory for a while, but didn't have much impression of this child.
All I remember is that she was born to Aunt Chen, about six or seven years old, and was not very favored in the mansion. Even Su Weimin didn't remember her much.
Chen Nan didn't want to waste time, so he turned around and called for help.
"Aunt Chen! Come here!"
"Aunt Chen, come and take the child away."
No one answered.
The others looked at each other and crouched back to hide.
"What are you hiding from?"
"Where is Aunt Chen?!"
Chen Nan snorted coldly. In this team of dozens of people, no one knew where she had gone? This is really interesting!
Her eyes flashed, "Uncle Fu, where is Aunt Chen's indenture?"
Uncle Fu thought for a moment and said, "Mrs. Chen came with Madam when she got married. Her indenture has not been handed over to the mansion. I guess her indenture is in Madam's hands."
So that's how it is.
Chen Nan remained silent and turned to look to the north.
She wanted to meet this marquis' wife, but she was afraid that Han was not an ordinary person.
Because Chen Nan originally thought that Su Chengnan was a sickly lady whose body could not withstand his torture. But unexpectedly, after two days of adjustment, she felt nothing wrong except being a little tired from the journey.
To exaggerate a little, she is just like a normal person!
She also thought carefully along the way and remembered that she had not eaten anything in the Su Mansion after traveling through time. All the food and drinks were produced in the space.
Therefore, there are only two possibilities for why Su Chengnan suffers from splitting headaches from time to time and faints at any time.
The first type: the health is really poor! But because she traveled through time by accident, she was healed by a mysterious power.
The second possibility is that someone drugged Su Chengnan!
If this is the case, Han is the most suspicious person.
But what Chen Nan couldn't understand was:
Since the drug was given, why did they just confine Su Chengnan to the sickbed but not take her life... ?
