sleep on pillow

"To sum up, I just want to ask, Mr. Lu Xiu, tell me, do these evildoers really exist? How did they abduct these children out of the house?"

The young man was sitting upright in a quiet meditation room in the good deeds office, and the old Taoist priest Lu Xiu with white hair and beard was sitting directly opposite him.

It was evening when Gouwaer arrived at the Taoist temple, and he informed the little Taoist priest of Mingli his name, and asked to find the old Taoist Lu Xiu by name, so the little Taoist priest of Mingli led the young man to the meditation room. Inside.

This old Taoist was uncharacteristically sitting in front of the table, and there was nothing in front of the table. The old Taoist didn't know what he was doing, and he was not surprised when Shen Yue came in. He stretched out his hand and motioned Taoist Mingli to go out, and said : "Brother Shen, come forward and sit in front of me."

When Shen Yue heard this, she was a little at a loss, but she still sat across from the old Taoist.The old Taoist closed his eyes and looked like an old monk in meditation. After a long time, there was still no movement, so he hurriedly opened his mouth, fearing that the old Taoist could not understand the cause and effect, so he narrated the whole thing from the beginning to the end. .

The old Taoist just woke up from that slumber and put his hands on the table. Shen Yue looked surprised and said, "Old man, what did you do? Tell me, this Could it be that those monsters you said did it?"

Old Taoist Lu Xiu took a gourd hanging on one side of the wall, took a sip and said: "The poor Taoist just noticed that there are old people visiting. There are many mountains and rivers, but now we may meet in this city. I feel so emotional." The old man flattened his palms.

Then he continued: "The virtuous things are just as you said, although I can't say for sure, but most of them are the actions of these monsters." It is the key point. The so-called, demonic words to confuse people, and demonic voices are alluring. It is the spells performed by these demons as you mentioned. These demons are often good at some magic that seems to be related to the rhythm, but in fact it is all sorcery These things are not for the ridicule, but just for deceiving people and plotting against others."

"The voice you said is exactly the same as the techniques I heard from those fellow Taoists. It seems that these monsters are correct."In the past, when talking about these things about eliminating demons and defending the Dao, this old Taoist would keep his great achievements in three sentences, and he could talk eloquently. It's the same, but now it's just a simple sentence and it's not in line with this old-fashioned character.

When Gouwaer heard the Taoist say this, he was also discouraged all of a sudden.

After all, even though Shen Yue had already made the worst assumption, from what he said, he was quite depressed.

You must know that in this era of underdeveloped communication, these lost children are rarely found smoothly. In addition, although these individual traffickers are not powerful, they are extremely cunning. It must be explained that swords and spears confront those individual traffickers , Although there is no good chance of winning, it is better than today, when the fist hits the cotton, which has no real feeling.

And although it is said that evil cannot prevail against righteousness, Youde is just an ordinary person after all. Even though he is indeed stronger than ordinary people, this power is useless in front of Taoism.

When Shen Yue thought of this, it was also sadness. The old Taoist also felt uncomfortable seeing the young man's appearance.The boy didn't want to stay long either.

Now he already looks like Zhang Orion who appeared at home in the morning.Hopes were verified and shattered one by one with time, and despair filled my heart.Now, as far as Shen Yue is concerned, he can only place his hopes on the fact that Youde went crazy, didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and ran to the mountain to spend the night.

Lu Xiu looked at the back of the young man who was slightly absent-minded, and sighed in his heart. He tapped the wooden table lightly with his fingers, raised his head, and took a look. It was getting dark unknowingly.

When the young man rushed to Uncle Li's house non-stop, Shen Yue's father had already arrived.

Uncle Li also walked out of the family happiness, and seemed to be in a bad mood.

After all, there is no news about what happened to this nephew.Can't be happy for anyone.

The old Shentou arrived at their house early in the morning, and told him all about the matter as soon as he opened the door. Uncle Li only heard that Youde had disappeared, but she didn't react yet.The old Shen asked him again and again, whether he had seen Youde during the past day, or if he had any clues. Uncle Li was also taken aback, and immediately denied it again and again, wishing to get rid of the relationship immediately. He also frowned for a while, and when Uncle Li woke up, he quickly apologized, saying that he was just nervous for a while, and asked the old Shen if he had any news.

This old Shentou has always been honest, although he disliked Uncle Li's reaction, he still told him about the barriers one by one. Pacing back and forth in the room.

"Uncle Li, I said that you are impatient now, but it doesn't help. Did Youde really not come to spend the night with you yesterday?" .

Uncle Li wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he seemed a little annoyed when he spoke: "Young boy, I have already told your father that Youde did not come to my place yesterday. Your father can testify that just now I I also went out and asked the horse watchman who was watching the night yesterday, and the lame Zhao who guarded the city gate. They all said that they didn't see Youde coming in. If it was a cold day yesterday, even a fly hugged his wife at home to keep warm Under the quilt, who has the leisure to come and go to this city, although Youde is tall and big, with a simple and honest appearance, but this kid is not as stupid as he looks at all."

Shen Yue sat down and looked at Uncle Li who was still chattering: "I said, Gouwa, you are also walking around this Ganzhou city, and the news is also very well-informed. But I heard that this city has also been lost recently. There are quite a few children, ranging from [-] to [-] years old, down to three years old. And not only in Ganzhou, but also in the surrounding Xiangzi Town and Mopan Village. There is something wrong. It’s exactly the same as what your father said about doing things virtuously. It was midnight, and the adults were all asleep. The kid got up and opened the door and left. After that, he disappeared without a trace. We're going somewhere."

When Shen Yue heard it, he was convinced that what he often heard from the merchants who came and went in the restaurant before was indeed true.It's just that I didn't expect that this matter would be widely spread among the people, and I felt even more uneasy.Uncle Li has always had a very good relationship with people in the government, so naturally, he got more news than a mere waiter like him.Then I talked to my father, and the two of them took their leave, and rushed to the mountain without stopping.

Now Gouwa'er feels that if there is still a glimmer of hope, it can only be that Youde went up the mountain, so he braved the path of ice and snow to this mountain, looking for the caves and mountain streams he frequented one by one, but still nothing. He found nothing, and when he arrived at the house, Zhang Orion was already squatting by the stove, with a dejected look on his face, the old Shentou was chatting with Zhang Orion, the old Zhangtou just kept covering his head, What old father Shen said, he only answered some, and some seemed silent, it seems that this trip is also fruitless.

When Shen Yue came in, he called everyone, and he also said that he had searched the mountain, and there was indeed no trace of Youde's previous visits. The city had also been searched, and most of them disappeared like Youde. scenario.

This change in Shen Yue's painting style, on the contrary, made Zhang Orion feel relieved. If he really had such bad luck and was caught by the trafficker, he would not be able to leave the boundary of Ganzhou City for a while.

You must know that this dynasty has always set up cards to prevent these individual criminals from entering and exiting large and small towns. Because when the late emperor was there, thieves and bandits were common, and they were banned repeatedly. The traffickers were also dealt with together.

This is the case at the checkpoint at the gate of Ganzhou City. Although these officers and soldiers do behave like fish and meat villagers on weekdays, they are very sharp-eyed when they do supervision.If there was anything wrong, it would have been caught long ago.

So judging from the current martial law matters, these children and the trafficker are probably still in the city. The current plan is to go to the government office to report to the officials as soon as possible, so that those adults can take charge of the overall situation, which is the most urgent task.

This Orion listened to Shen Yue's analysis, and finally poked his head out from between his arms. The face of a big man in his forties is now full of fatigue, and Shen Yue's heart felt sore when he saw it. , apart from the elders in the family, this Orion is the closest to him. Now that he is like this, Shen Yue naturally feels uncomfortable.But now everything inside and outside the house is in chaos, and under such circumstances, he can't panic.

Zhang Liehu said: "What Gouwaer said is that Uncle Zhang will go to Ganzhou City to report the crime. I want the Lord Qingtian to give us justice." This Zhang Liehu will do what he says, and he will leave after saying so. Shen Yue quickly reached out and pulled him down.

Seeing the displeasure on this Orion's face, he tried to persuade him: "Uncle Zhang is not in a hurry, now he has his own way to go to the government office. Didn't the virtuous uncle say that he has a good way, why don't you ask him to do it for you? Make it easier."

Shen Yue also had a plan in his heart. He had heard about this government office in Ganzhou City long ago in the Daoxiang Tower. Chess, by nature is a stinky chess basket, and the old master in the study in the city is a close friend, there is nothing unspeakable between these two people, this gentleman is even more like a poet of the previous dynasty, he can do whatever he wants with this political affairs, it is definitely not good Dealing with customers.

And Uncle Youde has a very good relationship with this yamen, because Uncle Li is doing this brokerage business, and most needs these officials and yamen servants to let them go unimpeded, so they go up and down every year and every month. This Uncle Li helped to report to the officials, at least don't let this matter go down the drain, now that this Orion is touched, it will naturally come to fruition.

Several people made up their minds, and they decided to go to Ganzhou City to report to the officials tomorrow, and they went home to recharge their batteries.
