Chapter 56: Someone Found
Women are gossips and like to spread the news they know and then resonate with each other, "Sister She's brothers are also good enough. They always come to visit her as a widow every six months or a year, and they bring them a lot of fun together. Every time they
Come, Sister She will be happy and will give some peanuts, candies and other gadgets to the people nearby."
"This way, even if they make a lot of noise, us neighbors won't be surprised." The woman said with a smile, "But they are not bad, and everyone can understand it just for one night occasionally."
"So that's it." Chen Xiuyan didn't stay long, smiled and thanked her again, and then quickly left the alley.
Chen Xiuyan's ears were sharp. Although there was no movement next door, she could still hear whether there was anyone in the house. There were at least two people. And when she was talking to the woman just now, someone was leaning against the wall and eavesdropping.
It was so suspicious that Chen Xiuyan felt that she had to find out the truth for herself.
After going around in a circle, Chen Xiuyan climbed directly over the wall from the backyard. When she reached the ground, she found a nearby firewood pile that she could hide in, and she poked her head around to look at the situation inside the house.
"Brother, did you hear wrongly? There was something going on in the backyard."
There were muffled voices and footsteps coming from the front yard. Chen Xiuyan flashed into the space. Almost as soon as Chen Xiuyan disappeared, two grown men came to the backyard and checked every corner. Not even a mouse was seen.
"Brother, I'm not telling you, why have you been so suspicious lately?" The short man, who didn't find anything, complained to the taller and stronger man.
"Didn't you know that all the county government officials were dispatched today? I didn't expect that there would be a daughter of a government official in this batch of goods. It's really unlucky." The burly man spat, his face gloomy and ugly.
Two quarters of an hour later, Chen Xiuyan came out of the space and began to explore the house. The three rooms in the backyard were all locked, but the windows were made of paper. You could see the scene inside by poking a hole.
It was all clutter and no one was seen.
I went to the front yard, where two men were sitting under the eaves drinking and chatting.
"After finishing this work, I will rest for a few years." The strong man drank a bowl of wine in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile, "I have accumulated a lot of money in the past few years. It's time to start a family. You
Also, find a reliable woman to give birth to a baby, and then you will have a smooth life."
"Brother, you don't understand, how can you be so comfortable after finding someone? I don't plan to get married. I will be successful by working with Mr. Xing. Don't you want to know who the big shot above Mr. Xing is?" The man with a sly eyebrow wandered around.
He raised his eyes and whispered, "I heard that the daughter of our family who was tied up this time was specially sold for sale, and Master Xing received a large sum of money."
"Hehe, we just use money to do things, and we can also sell people to make another profit. A double-profit deal is very cost-effective. I heard that things in big families are darker, and there are a lot of disguised transactions."
"Who did you listen to?"
"Brother, you are just too stubborn. If you are always trying to flatter Mr.
"When we can be appreciated by bigger people, we may be able to go to a better place. Good times are yet to come."
The strong man did not agree, but changed the subject, "How to transport people out now? One or two is fine, we can carry them out, but now there are six."
"Now the county government is tightening the investigation, and you can't leave the city at all."
“Brother, Mr.
When the wind blows over, we can go out no matter what."
"Aunt She is coming back soon. Go and keep an eye on her, so she doesn't notice anything unusual." The strong man stood up and warned, "I'll go to the cellar to see if anything goes wrong."
"Brother, you are just too careful."
Chen Xiuyan quickly retreated behind the firewood pile, and saw the strong man unlocking the middle door of the backyard, removing a pile of firewood, and the cellar door was revealed.
Chen Xiuyan followed the house and found a corner to hide. After a quarter of an hour, the strong man came out, resumed his appearance as a firewood pile, locked the door and left.
The room instantly became darker, but Chen Xiuyan remained motionless. After a full quarter of an hour, she heard a man's voice calling to the old woman from outside, and Chen Xiuyan took action.
Since Aunt She doesn't know what these people are doing, no one will come to this room when Aunt She is around.
Chen Xiuyan pulled open the firewood to reveal the locked cellar. She took out a pair of large pliers out of thin air and cut the lock with a "click". With a wave of her hand, the large pliers were sent back to the space. Chen Xiuyan opened the cellar door and walked down.
The cellar must have been dug by the original house. It is about the same size as an average cellar. There are a lot of things piled inside, and the most conspicuous ones are a few people who are staggered around.
However, the cellar was too dark and Chen Xiuyan couldn't see the faces of several people clearly. However, hearing the quiet surroundings, she took out a flashlight from the space, and the cellar suddenly lit up with a beam of light.
By the light, Chen Xiuyan immediately recognized Chen Yingying and Wang Yayu. There was a girl in brocade clothes between them. Just from the cloth, she could tell that the quality was higher than that of Wang Yayu.
So the person mentioned by the two people above was not Wang Yayu but this one.
The hands and feet of the six girls were tied, and cloth towels were tied around their mouths. Chen Xiuyan loosened the cloth towels on everyone's mouths, and directly directed the water with her fingers to feed the well water in the space into the six people's mouths.
Wang Yayu was the first to wake up, but her whole body ached and she couldn't move her hands and feet. She was about to moan when Chen Xiuyan covered her mouth and said, "Ms. Wang."
Wang Yayu was a little confused, but she heard Chen Xiuyan's voice. When she thought of what happened before, she backed away in panic and pressed her whole body against the wall before stopping.
"Miss Wang, save your energy. I will go back to the pianist now and ask them to rescue you as soon as possible." Chen Xiuyan said, "If you are transferred before we come, you can pretend to be unconscious and use the dried magnolia flowers in your sachet.
Mark it, we will definitely find it."
"I understand and nod my head."
Wang Yayu nodded with difficulty. Chen Xiuyan knew that time waited for no one, so she quickly stood up and left. As soon as she climbed over the wall from the backyard, she saw Chen Dazhong who had just walked through the alley.
"Show your face."
"father."
When Chen Xiuyan walked out of the alley, she discovered that not only Chen Dazhong but also Wang Yajie were also there, as well as many government servants and two dogs.
"Sister-in-law." Wang Yajie pointed to the direction Chen Xiuyan came from and said, "The two dogs came from different directions. They were both staring at this alley. I think Yayu must be in one of the houses."
Two dogs came over at this time, circled around Chen Xiuyan, and then barked a few times.
"I found someone." Chen Xiuyan said.
