Chapter 184 People are missing
Gong Xiu sat in Cui's house for quite some time. When he saw Konjac coming back with Heiya, he told him what had happened again before he stood up and said goodbye.
Konjac was a little frustrated. She had already figured out how to teach the newcomer.
Cui Qingyi consoled him, "Don't worry. Go to the pharmacy in a few days and ask He Yaren to help you choose two reliable ones."
The thing she feared most when bringing new people into her house was encountering those with ulterior motives, but after all, she had lived for so many years and had developed some judgment of people. At worst, she was protected by the laws of Dajin.
Cui Qingyi feels that people should not be too pessimistic sometimes. The best state of life is to enjoy the present moment and then deal with it as it comes.
If she is always cautious about everything, then what is the point of making money?
Konjac thought about it and nodded, "Okay, then let's go together and choose a more reliable one."
Speaking of the changes in the Cui family, the one who felt the deepest besides Cui Qingyi was Konjac. Although she could come back every day during these days after getting married, every time she walked into the Cui family's gate from the Qiao family, she felt that the house was too quiet.
It's also good to have someone to talk to the girl when she is not around.
Before Cui Qingyi had time to go to the pawnshop, something happened to Gong Xiu.
Gong Xiu was kind enough to bring the girl back to the embroidery shop. She originally wanted to take her to the clinic for treatment immediately, but as luck would have it, the embroidery shop had some urgent work coming in, so the girl's treatment had to be postponed.
At first, the shop assistants and embroiderers in the embroidery shop followed Gong Xiu's instructions and looked after her from time to time, but when they got busy they forgot about her. When Gong Xiu remembered and went to look for her, she had already disappeared.
The shop assistant looked at Gong Xiu with a look of bewilderment and grievance on his face, "Boss, I've been busy these past two days receiving and moving goods, and also had to run errands from time to time, so I really didn't have time to spare.
Besides, that girl has been staying alone quietly for a few days since she came here, and I didn’t expect her to disappear.”
Several embroiderers also helped the shop assistant, "Yes, boss, that girl has been staying alone since she came, and she's a little afraid of people, so we don't dare to get too close to her.
Besides, the embroidery shop has been very busy these days, so it’s possible that I can’t take care of it for a while.”
Gong Xiu herself knew best how busy the embroidery shop had been these days. Now that the person was gone, there was no point in finding out who had failed to look after him.
"Okay, I know everyone has been working hard these past few days, but the person is missing from our place. She's a fool, don't let anything happen to her outside. Let's go out and look for her together."
After sending everyone out to look for the girl, Gong Xiu also hurried out to look for her herself. She was not worried that the girl had gotten lost on her own. Dongping County was not that big after all, and if she got lost on her own, she could always find her.
But what if someone lured her away?
There have been a lot of people coming and going in her embroidery shop these days, and there are really all kinds of people. If she is taken away by someone with bad intentions, then she will really be committing a sin.
Gong Xiu was busy looking for someone for a whole day. Cui Qingyi and Konjac, who were staying in the girls' school, naturally heard the noise. They came out to see that the silly girl Gong Xiu brought back was missing.
The shop assistant, who had been looking for her for quite some time, was already exhausted. When he was asked about her, he couldn't help but complain: "That girl is just stupid. She only knows how to eat and sleep every day. Who would have thought that she would run away when I didn't keep an eye on her?
The shopkeeper is too kind-hearted to bring back a fool for no reason. Isn't this just causing trouble?"
A clerk from a nearby shop spoke to comfort him, "After all, he's a living person. It's no use not looking for him if he suddenly disappears. Don't get angry. We'll all help keep an eye out. If anyone sees him, please go to Jinxiufang and tell them."
Even Cui Qingyi couldn't help but sigh at this girl's miserable life!
It was two days later that Cui Qingyi saw Gong Xiu again. Perhaps because she did not get enough rest, she looked haggard and there was a very obvious blue mark under her eyes.
Cui Qingyi was surprised: "Hasn't the person been found yet?"
Gong Xiu nodded helplessly. She had been searching for several days and was almost fed up. "It's my fault for being nosy. I should have let her stay in the village. After all, the neighbors can still give her some food. Bringing her out here is like losing her.
I don’t know what the situation is like now, and whether I have eaten.”
Gong Xiu's worry did not seem fake. She really regretted bringing the person out and was really worried about what was happening to the person outside.
"Don't worry, Sister Xiu. Think carefully about what else you haven't found."
Gong Xiu sighed, "The county town is so small, and we've searched everywhere we can. I even went to the city gate to inquire, but the officers and soldiers on duty said they hadn't seen her leave the city."
Cui Qingyi still trusted the officials from Dongping County. Since they said they had not seen it, they must not have left the city.
Moreover, that girl was different from normal people. If the officers had seen her, they would definitely have been deeply impressed.
Just then, Zhou Wu passed by with a team of officials, holding a handsome big wolfdog in his hand.
Shufeng had smelled Cui Qingyi's scent a long time ago, and when he saw her, he changed direction and headed towards Cui Qingyi. Zhou Wu was helpless because his patrol was not yet finished.
When seeing Shufeng, Cui Qingyi thought of Wangcai at home in a flash.
Compared to Shufeng, she still thinks her own Wangcai is smarter.
Cui Qingyi clapped her hands and said, "Sister Xiu, I have an idea. Come with me first."
Just as Gong Xiu was about to ask what the solution was, Cui Qingyi grabbed her arm and pulled her away. Shu Feng, who was in a tug-of-war with Zhou Wu, stood there in a daze, watching the man who turned around and left without mercy.
The furry dog's face was full of human-like disbelief. Zhou Wu laughed maliciously, and even the few officials who were watching the fun couldn't help laughing.
Gong Xiu and Cui Qingyi returned to the embroidery shop. Cui Qingyi said, "Sister Xiu, I'm going to go back and get Wangcai. Please go and look for anything in the house that the girl used. Clothes or anything else with a scent will do."
Gong Xiu didn't understand why, but she still went to look for it obediently.
Waiting for Cui Qingyi to bring Wangcai back, she was already waiting with two patched clothes.
"Take a look at this, it's what she's always been wearing. Sister Cui, why did you bring Wangcai here? What did you come up with?"
Cui Qingyi took it and took a look. The clothes were obviously worn out and had been taken off and were about to be thrown away, so no one wasted time to wash them.
"I don't know if it will work, so let's just give it a try."
Then she held the clothes close to Wangcai and asked him to smell them carefully: "Wangcai, can you find the owner of this clothes?"
Wangcai was sitting quietly when he was suddenly hit by a strange smell of sweat mixed with sourness. He immediately turned his head away in disgust.
Fortunately, Cui Qingyi knew how to deal with Wangcai. She lowered her head and gently persuaded him: "Don't you like the roast duck made in the women's school oven? If you help find the owner of this clothes, I will roast two for you, how about it?"
Wangcai is the best at capturing keywords, and he immediately became excited when he heard the word "roast duck".
