Chapter 220 The Secret of Dong'er's Disappearance
Su Nuan secretly thought that this was not good. If Xiaotian was caught and interrogated, he would definitely be exposed.
However, the centurion shook his head and said, "No need. That man is so proud that he would take three baths even if he got a little stain on him, let alone carrying manure. It's not him."
Su Nuan's heart relaxed again when she heard that.
When the soldiers heard their superior say this, they didn't dare to say anything more, but their eyes did not leave Xiaotian.
Su Nuan was ready to work harder, so she reached out and pulled over Li Fengxing, who was watching the fun. He was also disguised, but he only changed into shabby clothes and painted his face slightly darker, so he still looked handsome.
"Second brother, you go supervise the eldest brother. If you don't do your job well, don't even think about entering my house this month."
Li Fengxing immediately smiled and said, "Okay, my lady, I'll serve you tonight."
After saying that, he ran to Xiaotian and started pointing fingers at him. The smug look on his face was disgusting.
This completely dispelled the suspicions of the centurion and the soldiers.
A very proud man can tolerate dirt, but he absolutely cannot tolerate sharing a woman with other men.
The centurion, a little irritated, asked, "How long have you been here? Have you seen any bodies floating on the river?"
Su Nuan thought of the things she had taken from Xiaotian when she rescued him. Her eyes rolled and she revealed a guilty expression, "No, no."
She ran away and returned to where she was cooking.
Xue asked worriedly, "What are they doing here?"
Su Nuan saw the suspicious soldier following her out of the corner of her eye, so she lowered her voice and mysteriously took out a purse.
"Mom, remember I fished out a dead body from the river? These people are looking for that dead body."
"If they knew I stole that man's money, would they kill me?"
Xue also saw the sneaky soldier, so she took the purse, held it up and took a look at it.
"I told you not to keep this thing, but you insisted on keeping it. Burn it quickly. No one will know about it if you burn it."
Su Nuan nodded, "Yes, anyway, I pushed the man's body back into the river, no one knows."
Xue threw the purse into the fire, and the soldier immediately rushed over and took out the purse with a corner burned.
He looked through it carefully, then glanced at the shivering mother and daughter. He asked, "Is he dead?"
Su Nuan nodded repeatedly, "He's dead, and the body is all messed up by the fish. It's a pity that his face is still pretty."
The soldier frowned, glared at Su Nuan and asked, "Anything else?"
Su Nuan tremblingly took out a jade pendant and said, "I've already spent the silver, and this is all I have left."
The soldier's eyes lit up and he took the jade pendant and looked at it. Without stopping, he turned around and went to find the centurion.
Xue was a little worried, "Will everything be okay?"
Su Nuan had no way of predicting the outcome and could only hope that they would take their things and leave quickly.
From a distance, the soldier said something to the centurion, and the centurion nodded after looking at it.
Maybe the person they wanted to find in their hearts was already dead, so it was easy for them to accept this result.
When it was time to eat, everyone came back to get their food. They must have been shocked by the outsiders, as they didn't even complain about the food.
Those outsiders even took a special look at what everyone was eating, their eyes full of disgust.
No one knew what the centurion said to Ling Cang, but Ling Cang took out his bow and shot an arrow.
The arrow sank into the cliff, leaving only a hole.
The centurion watched quietly for a while, then bowed and said a few words.
Su Nuan watched from afar and couldn't hear what was said.
The space spirit sent her a message, "That guy was just testing your strength. He probably saw the fields and wanted to grab some later."
Su Nuan sneered in her heart, "Want to rob them? I'll go rob them tonight."
The space spirit said, "There's probably nothing good in that border town over there. It might be built by exiled prisoners, just like you."
Su Nuan nodded, "Well...we'll talk about it when the time comes."
She rubbed her forehead. For some reason, she felt a little anxious and had a headache. Recently, she always felt that she had forgotten something, but she couldn't remember it.
Xue saw that Su Nuan looked unhappy, so she asked, "When will Dong'er come back?"
Su Nuan was startled, "Dong'er?"
Her memory returned instantly, and she hadn't seen Dong'er for long after arriving at the place of exile.
But why didn't she remember it? She thought about it and guessed a little.
She asked sharply, "Space Spirit, where did Dong'er go?"
The space spirit replied weakly, "I just gave her a dream, making her think that Su Zhen would kill you. I wanted her to be on guard, but she ended up following Su Zhen."
Su Nuan asked again: "Then why can't I remember Dong'er at all?"
The space spirit pretended to be dead.
Seeing Su Nuan in a daze, Xue asked again, "Don't you know either?"
Su Nuan came back to her senses and said with a worried look on her face: "Dong'er, that fool, was worried that I would be killed by Su Zhen, so she followed Su Zhen away."
There is no need to say what comes next, let Xue guess for himself.
Xue looked at Su Nuan in astonishment, "This girl... I thought you thought it was hard here and asked her to spend the winter somewhere else."
Su Nuan sighed, "Then things happened one after another, and I didn't have time to tell you."
Xue sighed, her brows knitted into knots.
Su Nuan saw the soldiers return to the boat, but the boat did not leave.
She came to Ling Cang and asked, "What do they mean? Why don't they leave?"
Ling Cang replied, "They have a limited time to come out. They can rest and go to the city downstream. They can return within the limited time."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay, obviously they already believe that the person they are looking for is dead."
Ling Cang smiled and said, "Their main purpose of coming out is not to look for someone, because they already thought that person was dead."
"This time we're going to the coast to collect goods. It takes about eight days to go round trip by water to the coastal city."
Su Nuan was a little envious, "What if we ask them to bring back some salt?"
Ling Cang shook his head, "I can't afford them."
Su Nuan sighed, okay, it was true that they couldn’t afford it. It would be strange if these people didn’t squeeze all the money here dry.
"After they leave, I'll ride Feixue to the beach."
Now her purpose was no longer to find salt, but to find Dong'er.
Ling Cang saw Su Nuan's expression filled with worry and asked, "What are you worried about?"
Su Nuan hesitated for a moment and then told him about Dong'er.
Ling Cang looked at Su Nuan in surprise, "You don't know?"
Su Nuan was stunned, "You know?"
Why Ling Cang knew this, I don’t know.
Ling Cang continued, "A-da once reported to me that Dong'er wanted to follow Su Zhen."
"Dong'er is your sister. I thought you knew this, so I didn't tell you."
Su Nuan pursed her lips, feeling unhappy, and asked, "Is Ah Da your man or Ling Yun's?"
Ling Cang replied: "He is from the Ling family. He will protect Dong'er. Don't worry."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay."
She turned and left, finding a corner to enter the space, and roared as soon as she entered: "Space Spirit, tell me what is going on? Why did I forget about Dong'er?"
