"Please follow me into the mansion first."

Su Xiaoxiao brought the old man into the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.

The old man followed her resentfully: "There's no fire."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled: "I know, I'll fix it for you later and you'll have fire."

"Then hurry up." The old man urged.

Currently, Su Cheng and Su Ergou live in the same yard.

Zong Zhenghui refused the separate courtyard arranged for him and lived here on the pretext of tutoring Su Ergou.

It is definitely not for the purpose of getting closer to the future son-in-law and grandchildren, or becoming a regular employee as soon as possible.

Cheng Sang lives in the yard of Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting.

The three little ones’ house is also here, but they often go to Su Cheng’s house to sleep.

Ling Yun likes quietness, so Su Xiaoxiao arranged a courtyard on a hillside for him.

Thinking that the senior was also a reclusive person, Su Xiaoxiao arranged him near Ling Yun.

There is a small orange orchard between the two courtyards.

The courtyard was cleaned regularly, but there was some dust on the tables, chairs and beds. The servants came and wiped them clean, laid out some soft supplies, and left a few oil lamps.

The old man put his straw raincoat and cloth bag on the ground.

The servant hung up his raincoat.

When I was about to touch his cloth bag, he looked at me with a fierce look.

The servant shuddered and dared not move.

The old man didn't get angry. He was born with a ferocious and unapproachable look.

Su Xiaoxiao said to the servants, "I'll do it. You go down and have a rest. Tell the kitchen to prepare some midnight snacks. Don't add any spicy food."

"Yes, ma'am."

The servants quietly withdrew.

Su Xiaoxiao picked up the old man's cloth bag and took out the things inside one by one.

Wow, it’s full of medicinal herbs and tools.

The scalpel, flashlight and other items she had given were not in there.

She turned her head and looked.

Well, he also had a small waist bag made of deerskin, which he hung around his waist.

Su Xiaoxiao found a winnowing basket and spread the herbs out flat.

The cloth bag was wrapped in oil paper, and only a little rainwater got in at the opening. Su Xiaoxiao used a handkerchief to wipe the water stains on the medicinal materials.

As she was wiping, she suddenly stopped.

The senior is a hermit master who is also proficient in medicine, so will he -

"Senior, have you heard of Xinyin?"

Su Xiaoxiao turned and looked at the old man.

The old man was already lying on the table, snoring and asleep.

"Forget it, I'll ask you again tomorrow."

Su Xiaoxiao took the tinder from the table, returned to her own yard, and went into the pharmacy to recharge the tinder.

After all this trouble, Su Chengxia returned to his post.

He met Wei Liulang on the way and heard about Su Xuan from him.

When he saw his daughter coming out of the yard wearing a straw raincoat, he hurriedly asked, "Are you planning to look for Su Xuan?"

"Um."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded.

Su Cheng said: "I'll go, it's inconvenient for you to go out in the heavy rain, wait for my news at home."

Su Ergou ran over in the rain and said, "Sister, go to sleep. Dad and I will go find her!"

Su Cheng said: "Go back!"

Su Ergou said: "I don't have to go to school tomorrow."

My son has thick skin and is ok to take care of him.

Su Cheng agreed.

Wu Hu shook off the rain on his feathers and fell into Su Xiaoxiao's arms.

The Five Tigers were in a bad mood because they failed to stir the pot.

The falcon, black crow and golden eagle also flew back and landed on the windowsill.

The rain was so heavy that even the trained falcons could not continue their search.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the four birds, all soaked like drowned rats, and realized that they had tried their best.

Su Xiaoxiao fed them some bird food and said, "Let's wait until the weather clears up before looking for it again."

Su Mo did not dare tell Old Madam Su and Mrs. Tao about Su Xuan's disappearance, fearing that they would not be able to bear it. He only told his grandmother and mother that Su Xuan stayed at his maternal grandparents' home to relax and was not willing to come back for the time being.

"Is he really with your grandfather?" Tao asked, pulling Su Mo aside.

Su Mo said: "Yes, I passed by my grandfather's house on my way to Southern Xinjiang and saw him."

Mrs. Tao rubbed her chest and said, "Isn't it strange? I haven't been feeling well since last night. I feel anxious and have a feeling that something is going to happen. You and Xiaowu are both back, but he is not. I miss him so much. Send a message to your grandfather and two uncles and ask them to send your fourth brother back. I miss him."

Su Mo opened his mouth: "Okay, I'll write it now."

Tao urged: "Hurry up and write!"

Su Mo got up and left Tao's room.

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of porcelain breaking behind him, and he quickly walked back into the house.

Tao's fingers were dripping with blood.

"mother!"

Su Mo walked over quickly and held Tao's bleeding hand. "It's just a cup. Don't clean it up yourself."

Mrs. Tao shook her head and sighed, "It's okay. I was just picking it up and accidentally cut it. Go write a letter and ask your fourth brother to come back. I miss him so much... I will always feel uneasy if he doesn't come back."

Su Mo left.

Instead of writing a letter, continue looking for Su Xuan.

Su Cheng asked for leave.

Wei Xu also temporarily refused to return to the court to take up his post on the grounds of recuperation.

The three families almost turned the capital upside down.

However, three days have passed and there is still no news of Su Xuan.

The four of Wei Xu and his sons, along with Su Mo and Su Li, gathered in Su Cheng's courtyard at the Duke of Huguo's mansion.

Su Cheng, Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou were also there.

Everyone looked solemn.

Wei Liulang said, "I have searched every place I could find in the capital, even gambling houses and brothels."

Su Li said: "My fourth brother would never go to that kind of place!"

Wei Liulang said: "The more places you don't normally go to, the more you should look for them. This is called strategy!"

Wei Qing said: "He is very familiar with the temperament of each of us, knows where we will go to find him, and accurately avoids those places."

Gui Bu asked, "Could it be that they have already left the city?"

Wei Liulang said excitedly: "Yes, yes, yes! Could he be going to find the Killer Alliance?"

Su Li pouted and said, "Why did my fourth brother go to the assassin alliance? To seek death?"

Wei Liulang glared at him and asked, "Can you please stop arguing with me?"

Su Mo shook his head and said, "Ling Yun once said that there are only two opportunities to go to the island every year, one in April, which has passed, and one in October, which is still too early."

Wei Ting nodded: "He may be hiding and will go to the island to join the Killer Alliance in October."

Wei Xu said, "Let's go out of the city and look for him."

Several people acted separately.

Wei Xu and Wei Liulang went to the east gate, Wei Ting and Wei Qing went to the west gate, Su Mo and Su Li went to the north gate, and Gui Bu and Su Cheng went to the south gate.

Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou stayed in the capital.

The old man had slept for three days and three nights, and Su Xiaoxiao planned to go and see if he had woken up.

As soon as I left the yard, I heard the servant report that Jing Yi had arrived.

Ding, Jingbaobao is online.
