Chapter 23: Can't Find



After a few seconds of pause, the man in black finally thought of apologizing to Shu Jiaying: "I'm sorry... I made a mistake, I really didn't mean to!

Don't worry, girl. As long as you don't die, I will take full responsibility for your injuries."

“…”

Shu Jiaying looked at the man in black with a sad look. This man had already chopped her to death, so what was the point of apologizing?

It’s just that my back hurts!

Unable to bear the severe pain, Shu Jiaying finally fainted.

The man in black hurriedly ordered the people around him: "I'll leave this to you guys, I'm here to save people!"

"Yes, young master!"

No longer lingering on the fight at the scene, the man in black picked up the unconscious Shu Jiaying and jumped away.

It was almost noon when Village Chief Xu returned to the town's ferry terminal with the official documents stamped by the government office. However, after looking around for a long time, he still did not see Shu Jiaying.

Village Chief Xu thought, could it be that Shu Jiaying got lost while selling eggs?

So he hurried to Wu Laosan's dry goods store again.

Seeing Wu Laosan dozing off behind the counter, Village Chief Xu hurriedly asked, "Boss Wu, was there a girl wearing a mask selling eggs to you just now?"

Village Chief Xu thought Shu Jiaying's appearance was rather peculiar, and he thought Wu Laosan would have an impression of her if he asked him this.

But in response to the question from Lizhang Xu, Wu Laosan answered without even thinking: "No, I don't know what bad luck I had today. I sat in the shop all morning and didn't see anyone coming.

"Village Chief Xu, I heard from people in your village that your mother sprained her ankle. Is she okay?"

"Thank you, Boss Wu, for your concern. My mother is doing well except for some inconvenience in her movements."

"That's good, but the old lady's body is relatively fragile, and she can't recover as fast as the young. But I heard that Wan'an Hall has a female healer who can treat all kinds of rare and complicated diseases. Why don't you go to Wan'an Hall and get some medicine for your mother's injuries? I guarantee that the medicine will cure her illness."

Afraid that Village Chief Xu wouldn't believe him, Wu Laosan added, "The day before yesterday, the female healer from Wan'antang performed a miraculous healing trick in front of all the neighbors: a hen with a broken leg was miraculously healed after applying medicine.

The medicine prepared by the female doctor was really effective, and Wan'antang's medicine for bruises and sprains was almost sold out.

Really, go and see it!"

"well……"

Faced with Wu Laosan's kindness, Village Chief Xu could only nod his head repeatedly to express his gratitude. However, what he was more concerned about now was the whereabouts of Zhang Shu Jiaying. He knew that this was the first time Shu Jiaying had left the village since she was a child. If he lost Shu Jiaying, where would he find a daughter to compensate her?

Since Wu Laosan said that Shu Jiaying had never been to the dry goods store, this means that she was lost before coming to the market.

Alas... I hope she doesn't encounter human traffickers!

After hurriedly saying goodbye to Wu Laosan, Village Chief Xu walked along the same path he came from and asked everyone he met anxiously.

It was not until they reached the entrance of the market that the conversation between a vegetable and a fruit vendor attracted the attention of Village Chief Xu.

The fruit vendor said, "The fight here before was truly earth-shattering. I heard that those people disguised as vendors were all from the imperial court, and those people in black were the famous Wulin secret guards in the martial arts world. I just don't know why the two of them fought each other. Fortunately, General Zhuang sent a large army to suppress it, otherwise there would have been countless casualties!"

The vegetable vendor said, "Who knows what's going on? But it's better for you to stay out of trouble and not get involved in things like this, or you'll regret it later."
