Chapter 45 The Lost Girl
When Song Liyun grabbed his scalp, Heijin was unusually docile. He squeaked and pulled at the chain around his neck, wanting Song Liyun to untie it.
How could Song Liyun easily believe that a vicious monkey that could store food and brutally bite two people to death could be tamed so easily?
She chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I will come to see you again tomorrow. If you satisfy me, I will naturally let you go."
Seeing that his trick was discovered, Hei Jin turned hostile and opened his mouth to bite Song Liyun...
"Snap!" Song Liyun kicked the ferocious monkey, and it rolled into the corner of the house, with the iron chain stretched straight.
Song Liyun rushed over and beat him up again.
The moon's shadow had become tilted due to all this commotion, and it had been more than an hour since Song Liyun sneaked out of her residence. She couldn't delay any longer.
She took out some clean water, peanuts, and corn and placed them next to Hei Jin, who had a crooked nose and mouth, was covered in blood, and was dying.
These are all nutritious foods that monkeys love the most and cannot be found in the mountains.
The iron chain around his neck, the wounds on his body, and the delicious food in front of him will make the clever beast Heijin think clearly about what he should do.
Should I choose to have a full meal or a full meal every time? The answer will be known by tomorrow night.
On the way back, Song Liyun was extremely careful.
This is near the military camp. If we are discovered, we might be treated as monsters, but we will probably be beheaded as spies.
Walking in the shadows all the way was smooth.
It was not until she pushed open the half-open wooden door and quietly lay back in her bed in the dark without disturbing anyone that Song Liyun breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that no one had discovered her at this time.
On the watchtower outside the military camp, Zhao Tingduo, wearing a half-green mask on his face, squinted his eyes and looked at the black shadow that appeared and disappeared in the distance.
Next to him, a guard with a pale face glanced at the "thing" that had disappeared in the distance and whispered, "Third Young Master, this place is not clean. You should go down and rest!"
Zhao Tingduo didn't move. The cold night wind blew, and sweat appeared on the soldier's forehead.
Captain Luo also hurried over and said to Zhao Tingduo, "Third Master, the troops are ready and waiting for you to set off."
"Okay!" Zhao Tingduo looked towards the grove in the distance. The moon was dim at this time, and only the branches were shaking. He could not see anything else.
He frowned slightly, turned around and walked down the platform.
Suijin Town was rumored to be a "ghost town" and there were many rumors in the military camp. I didn't expect that when I climbed up by chance, I would actually see that strange thing.
If he didn't have to rush back to Xishi Pass before dawn, he would definitely chase them down, investigate thoroughly, and catch these guys who are pretending to be ghosts.
Nothing happened in the middle of the night, but unexpectedly, when it was almost dawn, the civilians and the military camp became noisy.
Torches lit up the surroundings, and amidst the calls of varying pitches, a woman's wailing could be heard: "Yan'er, Yan'er, where are you?"
It turned out that when Aunt Cui was calling everyone to get up and make breakfast at dawn, she discovered that her daughter Xu Yaner was missing.
Not only was the bed messy, but her jacket was also thrown on the bed, which showed that she had gone out without wearing any clothes.
Mrs. Cui originally thought that her daughter went to the toilet, but the bed was cold and there was no one in the toilet. Mrs. Cui suddenly panicked and woke up everyone who was still sleeping in the room to look for her together.
Song Liyun was also dragged awake. She had only slept for more than two hours and couldn't even open her eyes.
When he heard that Xu Yan'er had not returned home all night, his sleepiness disappeared immediately.
Would that girl be so stupid as not to come back?
So, a large group of people began to search the grass and ditches near their residence, but found no clues, and then they searched further away.
The movements of the migrant workers would naturally attract the attention of the military camp, and they would also send people there to search.
There is still strength in numbers.
At daybreak, Xu Yaner was finally found in a sheltered dry ditch more than a mile away from the migrant workers' dormitory.
At that time, she was curled up in a haystack, wearing only a single shirt. Her lips were blue and purple from the cold, and she was half-breathing.
The person was brought back by Xue Xiaoqi.
Upon hearing that a girl was missing from Minfu's side, Xue Xiaoqi, who was planning a better life, became extremely nervous, fearing that something might have happened to the person he had just taken a fancy to. Without even asking, he took people outside to look for her.
The result is that the charming Miss Xu...
She must have been very cold, because as soon as Xu Yan'er got close to him and felt some warmth, she hugged Xue Xiaoqi tightly and refused to let go.
Xue Xiaoqi, who was full of vigor and vitality, had never seen such a scene before. His heart was immediately moved. Looking at the pitiful appearance of the person in his arms, even his heart ached.
In front of everyone, he took off his clothes and put them on Xu Yaner, then carried her back.
The civilians were in an uproar, and Captain Luo in the military camp also pounded the table.
"Tell Lao Zi to investigate. If anyone is caught with that little piece of meat in their crotch that refuses to obey orders, we'll have a castrator cut it off."
He felt nervous when he heard that a girl was missing from the migrant workers' group, and he was sure that some bastard couldn't help but flirt with her.
In recent years, the Yunzhou government has been causing trouble for the Zhenbei Army everywhere, and robbing migrant workers here is already causing trouble.
If the migrant workers are returned properly, the big things will be resolved and the small things will disappear. Any further fuss by the government will just be a verbal lawsuit.
What if there was a riot and people were harmed... Captain Luo didn't dare to think about it.
Besides, the Third Young Master just reminded me last night...
Captain Luo was covered in sweat. He not only ordered an investigation, but also sent a military doctor to check out the laborers' sheds.
Hearing that the girl had just been cold all night and nothing else happened, Captain Luo finally felt relieved, but he cursed inwardly: "My wife's family is so troublesome. She even has to take a detour to pee in the middle of the night."
Song Liyun's worry only lasted until the doctor said Xu Yan'er was unharmed. After expressing sympathy for her for getting lost even when "going to the toilet", he continued to busy himself with his own affairs.
She had already discovered the truth about the "haunted house" at night, and now she couldn't wait to have her own private territory.
Haunted house?
Is it a haunted house?
When Song Liyun expressed her desire to go to the "haunted house" to look at houses, Xue Xiaoqi, who was in charge of choosing houses for the Song family, and Song Zhenping both objected.
Xue Xiaoqi was responsible for managing the miscellaneous matters of the civilians, and settling the military households was naturally also his task.
But Xu Yan'er had just been found, and he had hugged that soft body this morning. Now he was a little hesitant facing the disobedient Song Liyun, not to mention such an unreliable thing as going to see the "haunted house".
If I still had six points of enthusiasm after choosing the land yesterday, now I only have three points left.
Xue Xiaoqi just wanted to finish the task here and then go visit the poor girl.
He ignored Song Liyun and said to Song Zhenping seriously, "Just choose the house in town. Daping, matters like this should be decided by the man in the family. Women are short-sighted and don't know much."
Song Zhenping thought of the previous rumors about evil spirits hurting people, and then saw the girl who was almost killed by the charm in the morning, and he was very scared: the house Yun'er wanted to see was naturally the best in town, but I heard that it had been burned down and was a haunted house. What if the rumors were true and there were evil spirits in it?
