Chapter 322: Fawning
Sister Food City held a three-day buffet. Many people came from all over the place after hearing the news, and the entire county was packed with people.
Half of these people wanted to take advantage of the No. 1 Scholar and enjoy a few days of free meals, while the other half were wealthy gentry and businessmen who took the initiative to send invitations to visit the No. 1 Scholar and tried their best to send gifts to the No. 1 Scholar's home, just to establish a good relationship with him in advance.
Tang Dafu watched Tang Yichen refuse the generous gift again, and said distressedly: "This is a whole box of Dongzhu, each one is the same size."
Li Taohua slapped his head and said, "I really don't know whether I should praise you or scold you. After reading a few days, you can be pedantic. But even if you have read books, you still don't understand the principle of not taking things that you shouldn't take. Do you think these people are giving them to him for free? If you give these things to him today, he will pay you back tenfold or a hundredfold someday."
Tang Dafu touched the back of his head where he was in pain, pounded Li Taohua's leg and agreed: "My wife is smart. I will listen to her."
"Brother, although you can't accept gifts from these people, if they invite you to a banquet, you still have to accept the offer. They want to make friends with you, but you keep avoiding them, which makes them think you are difficult to get along with. You are so smart, I believe it will not be difficult for you to grasp this balance." Qin Huiyin said while biting a candy that had just come out of the pot.
Tang Yichen smiled and said, "My sister reminded me. The county magistrate will host a banquet tomorrow, and I have to go."
Gone! Gone! Someone was speeding through the street.
Not long after, the man on horseback ran into Sister Food City, looked around the lobby with an anxious look, and strode over when he saw Qin Huiyin.
"Boss Qin, something happened to our Boss Xia."
"What's going on?" Qin Huiyin stood up.
"The Dong family's wedding was approaching, and the Rong family invited her to burn incense and pray, so she went. Everything was fine at first, but after praying, they stayed in the temple to eat vegetarian food. While waiting for the vegetarian food, they met robbers, and she and the girl from the Rong family were kidnapped."
"Which temple? Where did the robbers come from?"
"It's not far from here, Tanshan Temple. I don't know where those robbers came from. I only know that the boss fell off the cliff during the confrontation with the robbers and is now missing. I know that the boss Qin has good hands, so I ask you for help. I want you to lend us some hands so that we can search the mountain to find the whereabouts of the boss."
"Song one, Song two..." Qin Huiyin shouted.
Song Yi and Song Er appeared soon.
"Take all the men you can mobilize and follow him to Tanshan Temple to rescue people immediately."
"Miss, you can't be without someone by your side. I'll leave Song San and Song Si behind to protect you. As for Boss Xia, I'll send people there from somewhere else. Miss, don't worry." After Song Yi finished speaking, he looked at the male servant who came forward to ask for help and said, "Lead the way ahead."
Qin Huiyin thought that Xia Ruwan's life or death was uncertain, and Mrs. Xia must be very anxious, so she said to Li Taohua: "Mother, you go to see Aunt Xia. I want to go to Tanshan Temple to take a look."
Of course Li Taohua would go to see Mrs. Xia, but she didn't want her daughter to take risks.
She said, "My daughter, we don't know where those robbers came from, so don't go. Anyway, you have sent so many people over there, just let them search. You can't help if you go there, and you will have to distract them from taking care of you."
"I want to know Wan'er's situation as soon as possible." Qin Huiyin said, "Don't worry, I won't put myself in danger."
After saying that, she turned and ran towards the backyard.
She was going to ride her beloved horse.
Li Taohua was worried and wanted to chase after her to persuade her, but was stopped by Tang Yichen.
"I'll go with her." Tang Yichen said, "She and Miss Xia are like sisters. Now Miss Xia's life or death is uncertain. If you ask her to wait here for news, I'm afraid she won't be able to stay here for even a moment. Let's go to Tanshan Temple, which is closer to the place where the accident happened. If there is any trace of Miss Xia, we can know it immediately, and we don't have to stay here in fear."
"You must keep an eye on her! I'm just afraid that those unknown robbers haven't gone far. If she's unlucky enough to meet them, wouldn't that be like asking for death?"
"Don't worry, Aunt Li."
Four figures rode out of the city on horseback.
They ran all the way to the mountains behind Tanshan Temple, where they saw many people searching, including the Xia family and her people, as well as the Rong family and another team.
There was a familiar face in the team. She strode over and said, "Are you the follower of Young Master Li?"
The attendant saluted Qin Huiyin and said, "I am from the Li family. Master Qin, my young master was going back to the city to check on his shop. On the way, he met a servant from the Xia family. When he heard that Master Xia was in trouble, he immediately took people to the mountains to look for him. The young master is looking for him in the mountains, but we are separated now."
"I heard there are wild beasts in this mountain. You have to be careful."
"Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your advice."
Qin Huiyin looked at Rong Wenxuan not far away, and Rong Mingjin who was well protected by Rong Wenxuan, and strode over.
"My subordinates reported that Wan'er was praying with the Rong family and was abducted by robbers while resting in the temple. Is this Rong family girl the Third Miss?"
Rong Wenxuan was anxiously asking his men about the search situation. When he heard Qin Huiyin's question, he turned around and said to her, "It was my third sister who was held hostage by the robbers along with Wan'er. Mr. Qin, Wan'er fell off the cliff to protect my third sister. There are many trees in this mountain, and there is a river at the foot of the mountain. I believe Wan'er will be fine. Don't worry, I will definitely find her back."
"Can I ask Miss Third a few questions?" Qin Huiyin looked at Rong Mingjin sharply.
Rong Mingjin's eyes were red, and she leaned softly in Rong Wenxuan's arms, saying weakly, "Sister, please speak."
"How many robbers are there and what do they look like?"
"There were more than a dozen of them, speaking with foreign accents that I couldn't understand. When we were going up the mountain, we saw a horse team. Who would have thought that these people would follow us up the mountain. They didn't rob us of our property, but only took Miss Xia and me away. They must be a group of lustful people. After they abducted us, Sister Xia tried her best to deal with them. She used the excuse of urgent needs to force them to stop, and then took me to hide in the mountains. But... in the end, they forced me to jump off the cliff. Sister Xia was trying to protect me, I feel sorry for her, wuwu..."
"Third sister, I'll ask them to escort you back to the temple to rest. Once I find Wan'er, we'll go down the mountain together to ask a doctor to see you." Rong Wenxuan said, "This matter can only be blamed on those daring robbers, not you. Don't cry."
"Second brother..." Rong Mingjin cried out of breath. "If anything happens to Miss Xia, I am willing to pay with my life for her."
