Chapter 217 Returning to Ancient Source Village (3,000-character chapter)

When she checked out, she walked to the door, and the entire inn was surrounded by officers and soldiers. She had no choice but to retreat. Now her appearance and Cheng Huaiye were similar to the day she entered the city.

The guests from the inn collectively came to the lobby on the first floor, and there were about twenty guests.

Cheng Huai also glanced roughly and whispered: "Wait for a few more days, Mu Chen and the others will be able to find him. Then there is no need to hide anymore."

This time, Cheng Si used the excuse of their disappearance to deliberately ask them to submit a wanted order, and Cheng Huai could think of his excuse, which was to protect them from being exposed and attracting others to assassinate them.

In fact, as long as they find them, the one who greets him is Cheng Si.

In recent years, Cheng Huai has never cared about whether they want to seek a position or whether they recruit soldiers in private. He plans to get rid of Xu Kangwen within five years. As for their rebellion, he sits in a high position to watch the show and see if he has the ability to seize the throne from him.

The county magistrate of Huajin City was named Wang. He looked very rich with a big belly and was wearing a blue official robe. When he walked in, there were about a dozen officers and soldiers following him.

He raised his head slightly and walked in with his eight-character stroll. The innkeeper quickly greeted him: "The arrival of the county magistrate Wang has made the shop full of glory."

Wang Junzhu glanced at him and was not interested in these compliments: "No need to say anything extra. Have you ever seen these two people joining a shop?"

A soldier took two portraits for the store owner to show. The store owner narrowed his eyes and recognized him, and then shook his head: "I haven't seen it before."

Jung Wang strode across the face of the customer in the store, glanced at Xu An'an's face more, and then withdrew his gaze: "Let's go, search for the next one."

The people in the store then breathed a sigh of relief and then worked their own work.

After leaving this inn, Xu Anan spent five taels of silver to buy an old donkey cart. Because it was cold, she also bought two cotton wool beds on it, which was very soft and sat.

After everything was ready, she was about to slowly drive the donkey cart and walk back to Qijing, and maybe she could meet Cheng Huaiye's hidden guard.

She was a little worried when she looked at the last ten taels of silver on her body. After she went back, she threw all her money into the Qiankun bag, so she would not be afraid of losing money when she encountered difficulties.

After leaving Huajin City completely, Xu Anan breathed a sigh of relief. She took out her pointer and looked at it, pointing in Qi Jing. Jiang Chu really went to Qi Jing alone.

Xu Anan guessed that Jiang Chu's identity should not be as simple as a caravan. He dared to run, so he should be afraid that Xu Anan would not be able to find him.

Or maybe the place he went was something Xu Anan couldn't go.

"I'll drive."

Cheng Huaiye's voice pulled Xu Anan's thoughts back, and she pressed him on the cotton pad and sat: "No! I can do this job, you have a good rest."

Cheng Huai Ye: “…”

He really didn't expect that she could drive...

The reason why Xu Anan learned from Cheng Si was that this was the past. Xu Anan was too lazy to think about it. She was not the Xu Anan who had something to do with Cheng Si. She came from another world.

The donkey cart slowly walked a few miles away and met a group of people sitting on the ox cart. The people on it looked haggard. When they met Xu Anan and the others, their eyes widened and their lips trembled slightly: "It's you!"

The person who came was Mrs. Mao's family. It seemed that she was going to Huajin City. The few people in the car blocked Xu An'an's way.

Mao Yuanxiu's eyes were quiet and cold, which was a little different from the day he parted.

The Mao family saw that the people came were not good, and Xu Anan became alert in an instant: "What are you doing when you stop our car?"

Old Mrs. Mao burst into tears in an instant, her eyes full of grief: "You give me my granddaughter back! She is only five years old! How can you be so cruel? Our Mao family has never done bad things in their lives, and even rescued you when you are injured. But how can you hold grudges and kill my granddaughter because we drove you out of the village."

Old Mrs. Mao was so crying that she beat her chest and stamped her feet, and her eyes were almost crying.

A few simple sentences Xu Anan understood.

The cute little girl died, and someone threw the blame on them, mistakenly thought they were the murderers, and then went to the government to report the officials, so the county magistrate Wang had investigated so strictly recently.

Xu Anan met Mao Yuanxiu's eyes and said calmly: "It's not me."

She doesn't take the blame for this.

She continued: "I have no motive to harm Zhou Yan'er. The wanted order is fabricated. The person behind it wants to capture us alive. It is not convenient to disclose the specific matters, but we have never hurt that little girl."

Xu An'an's expression was calm and told the story in a casual manner, which made the crying old lady stop crying and stare at her blankly.

The main reason is that Xu Anan spoke seriously and looked open-minded, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Mao Yuanxiu frowned, Xu An looked at her calmly without fear of the shadow.

She didn't lie.

This is Mao Yuanxiu’s first reaction.

But thinking about her sister's haggard appearance, she even decided that these two were the murderers and made trouble all day long to catch them and avenge Zhou Yan'er.

He sighed slightly: "Madam Xu, can you please go to Guyuan Village with us? Even if we believe you, my sister will not believe it. If I let you go like this, I will be sorry for my dead niece." He paused and continued: "What's more, we don't want to go to Huajin City now to report that you have left the city."

Upon hearing this, Xu Anan also had a headache. This troubles followed one after another, and she understood the threat of Mao Yuanxiu's tone.

If you don’t follow them, you will follow the people from the government.

Cheng Huai also touched his waist and was about to draw his sword, but Xu Anan held it down. She turned her head and said to Mao Yuanxiu: "Let's go with you."

Mao Yuanxiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He pursed his lips, as if he was embarrassed: "The case was not reported by our family, but by the villagers."

Xu Anan smiled slightly: "I have another condition to make your Guyuan Village people not betray us anymore, I will find the murderer."

Mao Yuanxiu was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Don't worry, if it's not you, we will let you go safely."

As for the following sentence, he ignored it.

He didn't believe Xu Anan could find the murderer hidden behind him.

He was also sad, and his niece would die inexplicably like the children before him.

*

Xu Anan and his two men caused a sensation as soon as they appeared.

The village chief Guyuan immediately pulled Mao Yuanxiu nervously to the side: "Why did you invite these two evil gods back again?"

Mao Yuanxiu was helpless: "Village Chief, this matter has not been concluded yet. How can it be proved that they are the murderers? Before everything is found out, I only believe in my own eyes. My eyes tell me that they are not bad people."

The village chief Guyuan was speechless. Was this silly boy brainwashed when he went out?

There is no word "bad" written on this bad guy's face.

Afraid that he would disturb Xu Anan and the others, Village Chief Guyuan didn't even dare to speak too loudly.

When Maoling heard that the two of them had returned to the village, she was stunned for a moment, and then immediately went to Mao’s house in clothes and thick hats.

At this time, the Mao family was surrounded by the villagers, and they all looked at them with tools in their hands.

Maoling pushed everyone away with great momentum, and behind her was the Zhou family and her own husband.

When touching Xu Anan's eyes, Maoling paused for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "You two murderers dare to come back!"

"I want to report to the official, I want the officials to take you away!"

Xu Anan looked her up and down, and I have to say that Maoling is very beautiful. It is probably because Zhou Yan'er inherited her appearance and has been cute since she was a child.

But she saw a black evil spirit flashing through Maoling's forehead. She was not yet out of confinement and was very weak, but she insisted on coming out to seek justice for her daughter.

Xu Anan looked at everyone and said slowly: "I went to the village with Maoyuan because I had a clear conscience. I did not harm anyone. The murder of a girl in your village has nothing to do with me. Another thing is to help you find the real murderer."

Everyone was slightly stunned and looked at each other. Are they hallucinating? Not only did this person not plead guilty, he also said wildly that he wanted to find the real murderer.

Some villagers questioned: "How do we trust you?"

"Whatever I say is futile. Just look at me and cooperate with me." Xu Anan looked at the sky: "Let's start looking for it tonight."

Villager: “???”

What to look for in the middle of the night?

Village Chief Guyuan said, "What are you looking for tonight?"

"Zhou Yan'er."

“!!!”

A villager spoke: "The little girl from the Zhou family has been dragged to the mountains and buried her, but her body has been separated and her two hands have not been found."

"I will find it. Just go with me to the mountains tonight."

The villagers were skeptical and obediently dispersed for no reason.

Xu An'an's eyes fell on the back of a hunched woman not far away. She thought about it carefully in her mind and found that there was no such person in the crowd, so she asked, "Who is that person?"

Mao Yuanxiu followed Xu Anan's gaze and explained: "She is Madam Xu, and she has been a widow at a young age. The reason why she has become like this old must start from when her only son died five years ago. Since then, she has become crazy and kept muttering that her son is back."

"Because she had a bad background, her husband drove her out. The villagers felt sorry for her, so they gave her a thatched house and occasionally gave her some food so that she would not starve to death."

The hunched back staggered and walked very slowly, and no one dared to approach her.

Xu Anan withdrew his gaze, looked at Maoling who had not left, and smiled faintly, "Are you going together tonight? Find your daughter's broken limbs."
