Chapter 120
Chapter 120
After the money was stolen, Lin Xiazhi immediately lost his dizziness, his eyes were not dazzled, and his eyes were like torches. He searched the crowd for the person who stole his purse, and soon he locked on to the target and quickly chased after him.
After chasing Lin Xiazhi, he didn't find that there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on both sides, and the road began to become remote. He only thought about catching up with that person.
When Lin Xiazhi was running past on the street, Cheng Wenliu was just about to go to Jufulou and saw Lin Xiazhi from the corner of his eye. Because it was just passing by, Cheng Wenliu thought he was wrong, so he didn't care and continued to go to Jufulou.
It wasn't until the afternoon, when Lin Chengzu said anxiously to Jufulou that Lin Xiazhi had disappeared, that Cheng Wenliu suddenly realized that the omission in the morning should not be a mistaken person, that is Geer Xia.
So, Cheng Wenliu told him about what he saw Brother Xia in the morning.
"Why would Brother Xia run wildly on the street?" Lin Chengzu was a little puzzled. Lin Xiazhi always cared about his image outside, and it didn't seem like he would do such a thing like running wildly.
"Could it be something urgent?" Cheng Wenliu guessed.
Lin Chengzu shook his head: "He's just going to chat with my fiancé today, there won't be anything that makes him anxious."
Cheng Wenliu felt guilty for a while, it was all his fault that he didn't pay attention at that time, if he had caught up to see the situation at that time, maybe Xia Geer would not have disappeared, thinking of Xia Geer's agile eyes and more and more beautiful appearance, Cheng Wenliu I felt very uneasy in my heart, and there were some other emotions mixed in this uneasiness, which he didn't notice for a while.
Cheng Wenliu has always been a relatively indifferent person, because if he is against others in the market, if he reveals his emotions too early, he will be led by the nose, so he has developed the ability to be calm when he was very young.
It's just that he is anxious now and has not noticed this change in himself.
Almost all the men from the Lin family's tofu shop were called by Lin Chengzu to the county town to look for Lin Xiazhi.But the county is so big, I have no idea how to find someone in the county, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, Cheng Wenliu immediately mobilized his family members to come out, focusing on the alleys where he had seen Lin Xiazhi before.
Not only did the servants at home come out to find someone, but Cheng Wenliu couldn't sit still and ran out himself.
Standing at the intersection where he had seen Lin Xiazhi before, looking at the direction Lin Xiazhi ran, he recalled it carefully from beginning to end. Was Lin Xiazhi chasing someone? Did he know someone?
Judging from Lin Xiazhi's expression, he probably didn't know that person.Soon, Cheng Wenliu recalled the person who was thrown in front of Lin Xiazhi, his expression was very anxious, and he was a little flustered, and the clothes he was wearing were torn and dirty.
The more he recalled Cheng Wenliu's thoughts, the clearer he was. Lin Xiazhi probably encountered a thief. The thief ran from the bustling main road to the alley in order to get rid of Lin Xiazhi.
With such a direction, Cheng Wenliu started from that intersection, reasoning all the way where the thief would go, and followed suit.
Suddenly, Cheng Wenliu saw the headband that Lin Xiazhi often used to tie her hair in a corner.
Because Lin Xiazhi doesn't like to put too many decorations on his hair, he usually uses a hairband to tie his hair. In addition, Lin Xiazhi's hairbands are all made by Li Xiu himself, and the patterns of each one are different. Cheng Wenliu happened to have seen this hairband of Lin Xiazhi.
Generally, if you are just running, the hairband will not fall to the ground. Cheng Wenliu glanced at the surrounding environment. This is a corner. Usually, almost no one will come over. Even if you call for help, the people on the main road may not necessarily listen. arrive.
If Xia Geer chased the thief here and was besieged by the thief's accomplices, it is very likely that he tore off the hairband and threw it on the ground as a mark when he was resisting and struggling. Thinking of this, Cheng Wenliu felt My heart seems to be grasped by an invisible hand, how is Xia Geer now?
I heard that the bean curd stick formula in Lin Family Village was leaked. Was Xia Geer's disappearance purely theft or was someone behind the scenes arranging it?
Just when he was about to turn around and leave to find a servant to help, the alley was blocked by someone.
These people were all dressed in tatters, their eyes turned green when they saw Cheng Wenliu's rich and noble clothes, and without a word, a few people started together, trying to tie up Cheng Wenliu.
These people did not look like professional kidnappers. From their clothes and the way they attacked people, it could be seen that they were probably refugees who had recently entered Jiangning County.
Cheng Wenliu's family is in the county seat, and they are still related by marriage to the county magistrate. Naturally, they know the situation in the county seat recently. Since the beginning of July, some refugees from the north have come to the south one after another, not only in Jiangning County, but in Lishui as a whole. Many towns and cities within the county jurisdiction have entered.
Thinking that Brother Xia might be tied up by them, Cheng Wenliu resisted a few times and then pretended to be defeated and tied up by them, leaving some marks on the ground by the way.
The place where this group of refugees gathered was not far away. It was a long-abandoned ruined temple on the edge of the city. When they led Cheng Wenliu there, they didn't even know to cover Cheng Wenliu's head. Cheng Wenliu did a lot of things along the way. mark.
And he found that not only his, but also some new traces, probably made by Lin Xiazhi.
In the ruined temple, Cheng Wenliu saw Lin Xiazhi with disheveled hair. He didn't know when he smeared his face with ashes to look like a cat. Fortunately, seeing that his clothes were neat, Cheng Wenliu breathed a sigh of relief.
Cheng Wenliu's tone was not obvious, but Lin Xiazhi was surprised by Cheng Wenliu's appearance, his face changed, how could he be tied up?
Although Lin Xiazhi put away his expression in an instant, the refugee in charge of them noticed his strangeness, and asked in surprise, "Do you know each other?"
"I don't know!" The two denied at the same time.
"..."
After Lin Xiazhi's observation, the refugee guarding them should be the leader of this group of refugees, and it is not easy to be fooled at first glance. He and Cheng Wenliu have such a tacit understanding, and he must have seen through it at once.
"What is your relationship?"
"It's okay!" Lin Xiazhi immediately denied.
The head of the refugee stared at Lin Xiazhi and Cheng Wenliu. Before Lin Xiazhi was disheartened, he didn't have the heart to look at it. Now, after looking closely, he found that Lin Xiazhi was not bad.
The head of the refugee looked serious: "I think you are a little brother with delicate skin and tender flesh. You should be a little beauty after washing your face. Otherwise, I will marry you. I heard that your family is very rich. If you marry After you, I will not have to worry about food or clothing, and I don’t have to do stealthy things.”
Seeing that the man's hand was about to touch Lin Xiazhi's face, Cheng Wenliu felt furious, and blurted out a sentence that was beyond his brain: "My young master's unmarried husband is something that people like you dare to think about!"
Cheng Wenliu had been secretly untying the ropes before. These refugees were tied very simply, not deadlocks at all. He was about to untie them. Under the stimulation, he immediately threw away these ropes, stepped over and stood in front of Lin Xiazhi to protect him. hold him.
As soon as these words came out, not only the refugee was stunned, Lin Xiazhi was also dumbfounded, only Cheng Wenliu felt comfortable physically and mentally.
From the first moment he saw Lin Xiazhi, he felt that this brother was very different and had always attracted his attention. At that moment just now, under the stimulation of the head of the vagrants, Cheng Wenliu understood what he wanted: he I want to marry Lin Xiazhi, and I want this brother with smart eyes to be my husband.
"To tell you the truth, I came here to find him. The servants I brought have already found him according to the mark I left. If you let us go now, you may still have a chance to escape." Cheng Wenliu said confidently.
In fact, Cheng Wenliu didn't know whether his servants came here according to his mark, but he couldn't show his timidity at this time, there were so many refugees outside, he had to protect himself and Lin Xiazhi.
The refugee leader looked at Cheng Wenliu in surprise, he knew the level of his subordinates, if it was really as Cheng Wenliu said, it would be a disaster.
Lin Xiazhi was already dumbfounded. The development of the matter far exceeded his expectations. When did he have a fiancé?
Just when the refugee leader was hesitating, there was a noisy sound outside, and Cheng Wenliu's tense body immediately relaxed. It seemed that the servants at home were very clever, and quickly found him according to the mark he left.
In Cheng Wenliu's view, this refugee leader was not an ordinary farmer at all, but a bit like a bandit. He captured the refugee leader while he was in a daze.
"Master, are you alright?" The Cheng family's caravan guards pushed open the door and captured the refugee leader for Cheng Wenliu.
The situation outside has now been controlled by the Cheng family. Although there are many refugees outside, they are no match for the systematically trained guards.
On the way back, Lin Xiazhi slowly came back to his senses, frowned and asked Cheng Wenliu: "Master Cheng, were you joking just now?"
In the eyes of most people, if the elder brother of the Lin family could marry into the Cheng family, it would be a high priority, and it would be too late to promise, so there would be no way to confirm it.
However, Lin Xiazhi is not an ordinary person. Although he didn't feel disgusted when Cheng Wenliu said that sentence just now, he still felt something was wrong.
Cheng Wenliu saw Lin Xiazhi's expression anxiously in his eyes, and recalled that only when they first met, he had seen appreciation from Lin Xiazhi's eyes. At that time, he was still thinking that this humble brother was unusual.Later, Lin Xiazhi treated him like an ordinary collaborator, without any extra emotion.
If it is said that Lin Xiazhi really has no interest in him in this regard, it will be difficult to handle, and even if Lin Xiazhi has someone he likes in his heart...
Cheng Wenliu hurriedly confessed his true feelings: "It's not a joke, it's definitely not a joke, I mean it sincerely, although the time and occasion are not right, but Brother Xia, I want to marry you. I know you are independent and don't like to be restrained, and I know you have a lot of love. Novel ideas, and I know you want to go to other places to see. Don't worry, I won't tie you up in the back house all day with sewing chores, we can go out to do business together, and realize your novel ideas together, Let’s go to more places together to see different scenery.”
