"It's strange, isn't Lachuanzi a peddler? When he saved Gui'er just now, his moves looked like those of a martial artist."
Cang Shu brought several of his men into the yard, and one of them expressed his suspicions to his companions.
"Hey, maybe this is the power of fatherly love? People always respond to their instincts when they are in danger."
"If La Chuanzi had been a step slower, the wolf would have bitten Gui'er's neck off in one bite!"
"Guier is lucky to have survived the wolf's jaws, but it's such a pity for Lachuanzi's wife and little daughter. It's so tragic!"
"Who says it's not true? My wife's arm was bitten off, and my little daughter was bitten to death!"
"Okay, be quiet!" Cang Shu shouted, interrupting them.
Several people shut up immediately.
Cang Shu strode up to Li Nian and said, "Madam, I heard that the young lady is missing?"
Li Nian had now controlled her excitement and nodded, "Yes, we've looked everywhere, but couldn't find her. I was only away for a while, and the secret guards didn't see her leave. I suspect she was kidnapped."
The cavalrymen behind Cang Shu were shocked when they heard this.
"The young lady is missing?"
"Everyone living around here is one of ours. If a stranger approaches, we'll easily spot him. However..."
Another person took over the conversation: "But today, farmers in the village were attacked by wolves, and we all went to help."
"It's strange. Why did we get attacked by wolves tonight? Besides, Lachuanzi is just a peddler, not a hunter. It's impossible for him to have an enemy with wolves."
"I was saying there was something wrong with La Chuan Zi's skills! How could a peddler like him save someone from a wolf's claws?"
After hearing their words, Li Nian understood the general reason why the wolves attacked the village tonight.
"As you said, this is all too coincidental. Furthermore, that person was able to kidnap Jinhe in less than an incense stick of time and then escape without being discovered. This shows that he is very familiar with the village!"
Li Nian looked at Cang Shu and said, "Please arrange for some people to continue searching nearby. We will go find the peddler."
"Okay." Cang Shu responded and ordered the rest of the horse team behind him to continue looking for Jinhe in the village.
He led the way and took Li Nian to the peddler's house.
Li Sisi's face was gloomy and her hands were clenched.
She will never forgive anyone who dares to hurt Jinhe!
Before they reached the peddler's house, they could hear a woman's mournful cries from afar. Her voice had a Yicheng accent, and they could barely understand it.
Because they had just experienced a wolf attack, every household in the village lit a light.
When she arrived at the peddler's house, several families living near the peddler's house gathered around the door, talking in a flurry to comfort the woman.
But the woman was lost in her own emotions, crying and wailing in grief.
Some people were puzzled: "Where is La Chuanzi? Why is he nowhere to be seen?"
"I haven't seen Gui'er either. Did he go to see a doctor?"
The old woman's face was full of sympathy: "Oh, we need to find a doctor. La Chuan's wife's hand... Oh, it's really a sin! I don't know what La Chuan did during the day to anger those beasts!"
Li Sisi originally came with shock and anger, but when she saw the woman with a broken arm sitting on the ground and crying, there was a little girl's head standing quietly beside her, but her body was nowhere to be seen.
The anger in Li Sisi's heart disappeared in an instant, leaving only shock.
You know, she used to cover her eyes when watching horror movies!
She won't even watch any bloody and violent horror movies!
When Li Nian saw this scene, his pupils shrank.
Cangwu asked the woman beside him, "Where are Lachuan and his son?"
"I don't know. Maybe he went to see a doctor?"
As soon as the woman finished speaking, she saw the village chief and a few others hurried over.
One of the young men followed the old man, carrying a medicine box on his back.
Li Nian looked at the situation in front of him and estimated that he could not get anything out of the woman.
She asked Cangwu: "Is there no village chief in this village?"
"Yes." Cang Shu pointed at a gray-haired old man and said, "That's him."
Li Nian looked in the direction of his finger and saw the village chief following a group of people with a sad face.
The peddler's family's fate was indeed miserable, but she had no time to sympathize with others now.
She instructed Cangwu, "The most important thing now is to find the peddler and find out if there is any connection between the wolf pack's attack on the village tonight and Jinhe's disappearance."
Cang Wu's face was heavy: "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter as soon as possible."
Li Nian said seriously, "It's not about as soon as possible, it means we have to find out tonight."
Cangwu choked. "Find out now? That's easy to say!"
But he responded respectfully: "Yes!"
Cangwu walked up to the village chief and asked, "Do you know where the spicy skewers are?"
The village chief shook his head and said, "No, after the wolves retreated, I quickly went to find a doctor to treat everyone's injuries."
Cangwu asked the others again, and they all said that they didn't see the spicy skewers.
A teenage boy suddenly spoke up: "I saw Agui running into the mountains. I asked him why he was going there at this time? Why didn't he go home? Agui said his father asked him to go."
When everyone heard this, they clearly felt something was wrong.
Cangwu made a prompt decision: "Come on, take us to the place where you last saw Gui'er. If you find Gui'er or his father tonight, I will give you ten taels of silver!"
The boy's eyes lit up, and then he asked cautiously, "Why did you arrest Gui'er and his father?"
Cang Shu replied, "I suspect his father deliberately lured the wolves tonight. My master's daughter is missing, and I suspect La Chuanzi took money from someone else. Don't worry, we just want to find her."
When the village chief heard Cang Shu's words, his expression immediately became serious.
"If he really did it, why did his wife and daughter also suffer?"
"What's going on? Just find Lachuanzi and ask him, and you'll know. I won't wrongly accuse him. In the end, I will hand him over to you, the village chief, for interrogation, right?" Cangshu said.
The village chief glanced at La Chuan's wife and the little daughter of La Chuan, who was left with only a head, and his eyes became stern: "That's right, if La Chuanzi really did such a thing for a little money, then he really deserves to die!"
At this time, the doctor had stopped the bleeding for the peddler's wife, but her condition was not optimistic.
The old man shook his head: "Alas! The injury is too serious. Whether she can survive depends on her fate."
Li Nian looked at the unconscious spicy skewers wife and suddenly said, "I also have medical skills, I can help her."
"Who are you?" The village chief looked at Li Nian suspiciously.
Cang Shu introduced: "This is our wife, she came from the capital."
The village chief looked alert: "Is it your child who is missing?"
Li Nianfu bowed and said, "Yes."
"Would you be so kind as to help Lachuan's wife get treatment? Don't you suspect that Lachuan is responsible for the child's disappearance?" The village chief looked at her with suspicion.
Li Nian replied calmly, "That's why I want to cure this woman even more. If she dies, wouldn't we have lost a clue?"
The village chief nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, then I'll let you try."
