Yueyue is only 9 years old this year, but she is very skilled in some life affairs, even better than some adults.

She can cook, do laundry, and embroider some handkerchiefs to sell.

When Aunt Hao goes out, Yueyue will follow her.

Aunt Hao was blind, so Yueyue acted as her mother's eyes.

Four days ago, Aunt Hao suffered from an old asthma attack. Yueyue went out with her. They were familiar with that pharmacy. While Aunt Hao was waiting for medicine, Yueyue went to the nearby shop by herself.

She went to buy silk thread because the materials for embroidering handkerchiefs at home were running out and she had to buy new ones.

Once I left, I never came back.

After waiting for a while, Aunt Hao felt something was wrong when she didn't see anyone, so she hurriedly went to the shop to find someone, but the shop owner said that Yueyue had already finished shopping and left, and he vaguely saw a strange aunt looking at Yueyue after she walked away.

She walked over and the two walked away while talking.

Aunt Hao's heart skipped a beat.

I searched around for a long time and asked many people, but in the end I got the same answer -

Yueyue left with that aunt.

"Doesn't anyone know the direction in which the aunt took Yueyue to leave?" Jiang Chu asked after hearing this.

"I asked, but no one really knows. It's rare that two people said it, but their stories didn't match up. One said going east and the other said going west. I don't know which one is true," said Aunt Hao.

Then he started to wheeze again, accompanied by coughing.

"Aunt Hao, have you always lived here?" Jiang Chu looked at the room.

"Originally we had a house, but after my wife left, we ran into debt, so we had to sell the house to pay off the debt, and we have been living here ever since."

"Then do you have any enemies?" Jiang Chu asked, "Is it possible that the family that owes money is here to seek revenge?"

"We orphans and widowers don't dare to offend anyone, so where can we find enemies!" Aunt Hao almost cried anxiously, "We will pay back the money to the family that owes money after selling the house, and there will be no more

The debt is over and there has been no further contact, so they have no reason to come to us again."

"You haven't had any grudges with anyone?"

"No, really not. Besides, even if there is, there is no reason for the other party to take Yueyue away. It has been four days. If it was kidnapping and blackmail, they should have come to the door long ago!" Aunt Hao stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears, "

My poor daughter, I don’t know how she is doing now. If something happens to her, then I won’t be able to live..."

Jiang Chu saw Aunt Hao's hand.

It's not winter yet, but she already has a lot of sores and scars on her hands.

In order to make a living, she could only take on some starching work. This was true no matter whether it was spring, summer, autumn or winter, and her hands had long been rubbed out of shape.

In terms of age, Aunt Hao may not be called an "aunt" at all. She may be around thirty, but because of poor living conditions and hard labor, she looks very vicissitudes of life, as if she is forty or fifty years old.

"That means it's been four days and you don't have any clues, right?" Jiang Chu asked.

Aunt Hao opened her mouth.

"Is there anything else you are hiding from me? Auntie, I don't covet anything in your house. I just want to help you find Yueyue. If you find anything, I hope you can tell me in time. Maybe we can find it together.

Yueyue." Jiang Chu frowned and said.

"I don't have...I really don't have any clues, but I really can't figure out why someone would kidnap Yueyue. After thinking about it, there is only one scenario...but I don't dare to think about it."

Aunt Hao covered her face and cried silently.

"What you're talking about is..." Jiang Chu seemed to realize something.

"Yueyue was very cute when she was a child. Later I became blind. Although I don't know what she looks like now, whenever we go out, people always compliment her on her beauty..."

Aunt Hao said nothing more, but Jiang Chu understood.

A 9-year-old girl is either too big or too small.

If you are ordinary, you may be taken away and sold to other families, or sold as slaves, but if you are beautiful, then...

"What are the famous places in the city like that?" Jiang Chu asked, "Don't think too much about it, I just want to ask about it in advance so that I can pay more attention when I'm looking for it."

After asking all the questions, Wuyou also came back. When Aunt Hao drank the porridge and lay down to sleep, Jiang Chu asked Wuyou to make medicine for Aunt Hao and waited with her while she returned to the inn.

After closing the door and taking out the divination sticks, Jiang Chu took a deep breath and started the divination.

To find people and directions, there is no better way than to use divination.

After a while, Jiang Chu took the fortune teller and started reading it.

The person you are looking for is in the south, and from the perspective of the hexagram, it doesn't seem to be too far away.

Knowing only these two points is still too difficult. It can only be said that the range has been shortened by more than half. It is almost impossible to find people quickly with this.

Jiang Chu scratched his head anxiously——

"Sooner or later, this broken spirit will make me mad to death. My aunt is so anxious!"

How could she ever be so angry!

If it is a compound hexagram array like 27 or 36 divination pieces, then she can shorten the range to within 50 feet after one test, and she can even find the person directly after another test.

It’s okay now, I can only use the most basic form, the amount of information is ridiculously small!

Gritting his teeth, Jiang Chu took the test again.

If once is not enough, do it several times until the amount of information is enough.

In the second test, Jiang Chu only got one keyword——

liquor.

South, not far, wine.

Tavern?

wine cellar?

What is this measurement? It’s too vague.

But...she doesn't seem to have enough spiritual energy to take the test for the third time today.

Jiang Chu put her elbows on the table, held up her face with her palms, and squeezed her soft cheeks into various shapes, as if this action could let her vent her inner sullenness.

You don’t know it if you’re not a novice, but you’re shocked when you become a novice.

Terribly weak.

With a long sigh of relief, Jiang Chu finally stopped ravaging her face. She stood up, opened the door, and called the coachman.

"Come on, take me around the city. Let's go all the way south. If you see a place that sells alcohol or has a strong alcohol smell, come down and have a look."

"Yes, miss."

Sitting in the carriage and opening the curtain, Jiang Chu stared at the restaurants passing by. Every time he passed one, he would go down to the restaurant and take a look.

After transferring, if nothing is found, I will ask the shopkeeper or waiter about Yueyue.

Jiang Chu found Tianhei, but found nothing. Seeing the carriage going farther and farther, it was no longer within the "not too far" range of the hexagram, so he had no choice but to stop and let the coachman return to Qingshan Lane.

Seeing that Aunt Hao had taken the medicine and was sleeping soundly, Jiang Chu called Wuyou back to the inn to rest, planning to continue looking for someone tomorrow morning.
