Meng Yile ran all over the surrounding alleys and alleys, but he didn't see Kapok's figure, and no one responded after several trips home.

He went to the tailor shop where kapok often supplies goods, and was told over and over again that kapok would go back after delivering the goods at noon, and he should have returned home long ago.But he still couldn't believe it. In the end, the clerk there got annoyed and didn't want to talk to him anymore, so Meng Yile gave up.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, the sun had long since disappeared, and there were only thick rolling clouds in the sky.

Meng Yile went back to the other courtyard in the west with a blank face, sat in the courtyard and guarded the door, and waited for Mu Mian to come back. He pouted and looked for 432.

Meng Yile: [432, come out quickly, I'm a little panicked. 】

432: [What are you afraid of? This world is made up of data. 】

Meng Yile: 【Don't say that, I feel so uncomfortable. 】

432: [Then what should I say to comfort you, my Lele. 】

Meng Yile pursed her lips: 【Hearing what you said, I suddenly want to cry. 】

432: [Yes, it's like a child who has been wronged outside. I thought it was nothing at first, but when someone close to me asked me, I couldn't help but want to cry. 】

Meng Yile nodded madly: 【You understand me! ! 】

432: [Normal. 】When I can't understand you mentally retarded, it's not normal.

Meng Yile, who was sitting on a small bench, guarded the empty yard and waited until late at night, shivering from the cold, went back to the house, took a robe, came out and continued to sit there and waited, breathing while chatting with 432 to divert his attention, afraid After I fell asleep, Kapok came back and ignored him, feeling uncomfortable.

After waiting for another half an hour, Meng Yile couldn't stand the torture, so he tossed off his clothes and went out with a lantern.In his impression, there was a curfew in ancient times. People who sneak around in the middle of the night might be arrested and put in prison.

He stayed there once, and he really didn't want to go there again, and he didn't want to worry Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, the second master and the second lady, so he struggled a lot.

But 432 refused to tell him what happened to the kapok, Meng Yile was really worried, and sneaked out in the dark, trying to avoid the patrolling police.

In ancient times, there was a place where one could walk casually in the middle of the night, and that was the lively places like Yihong Building and Baihua Building, so Meng Yile was forced to move to this place gradually by the patrolling police.

When the girls in the brothel saw Meng Yile, they put on a smiley face, and they all scrambled to pull him in to sit down and have a glass of wine.But how could Meng Yile, he was only thinking about his wife, so he could only wave his hands: "It's inconvenient today, sisters, please forgive me."

After he said this, he felt a little embarrassed, what is inconvenient, he is not a woman, and there are still inconvenient days.

Meng Yile was so ashamed that he covered his face and ran away. He walked around a few times timidly, but still couldn't see any figure of kapok. Meng Yile was really about to cry, he risked being scolded by 432 At the risk of crying, knock him again.

Meng Yile: [432, come out quickly, should I report to the authorities in this situation? 】

432: 【Go ahead. 】

Meng Yile: [No, tell me, what happened to Kapok, where did she go?It's not convenient to tell her whereabouts. You should tell me anyway. She is alive or dead now. If something happens to such a kind girl, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life. 】

There was no movement in my mind for a long while.

Meng Yile: [Why are you silent? 】

432: [I'm busy, don't talk nonsense! 】

Meng Yile: 【What can you be busy with? In the middle of the night, are you just busy sleeping? After such a big accident happened, can you still sleep?Do you have a conscience?Will your conscience hurt? 】

432 thought for a while: 【Sorry, I don't have any. 】

Meng Yile: ...I can't take that.

432 gritted his teeth and said that he was very busy, and told Meng Yile not to disturb him. Meng Yile had no choice but to wander around like a headless chicken, and then returned to the other courtyard to the west dejectedly. Sitting in the huge yard, looking in the direction of the door.

——He almost felt that he was a lookout stone!

Then Taibai Xing in the east climbed up and shone light spots alone in the dark sky. Immediately, a large area of ​​fish belly white smudged the sky, and the sun came out to illuminate the whole world.

But this world is cold, so cold that it makes people feel chills.

Meng Yile waited for the hour, and ran to the gate of the yamen. He explained the situation to the county lord's little master, and after having someone record it, he took out all the remaining copper coins on his body, and, while the other party was sizing him up, Under his eyes, his face turned white and then red, red and then white.

Meng Yile stretched out his hand to feel it, and then found something in his Qiankun sleeve. He was stunned, took out the half jade pendant, and handed over the little thing tied with tassels without even hesitation.

"I was too flustered when I went out, and I didn't bring silver taels with me, so let's take this jade pendant first."

The little master is not an idiot, he doesn't know the young master of the local wealthy Gu family, so he smiled generously: "No problem, Mr. Gu, don't be so anxious, we will definitely send people out to search, and help you find him as soon as possible Here it is. You keep this jade pendant too, our yamen is a place to petition for the people, so no one has any problems, Mr. Gu can just send someone to bring the silver over when he is free some other day. Go, go."

Meng Yile raised his arms high and bowed to him: "In this way, Gu will thank Master."

The sadness on his face was not fake, the haggardness of the night was very obvious, the master gave an order on the spot to order a few arresters in the yamen to go search the city, and vowed to find him even if he dug three feet into the ground!

In this way, Meng Yile went back to the other courtyard to the west and waited. He knew that he alone was far less professional than the Yamen, so he simply guarded at home, lest he would not know immediately when Kapok came back.

But from dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dawn, Meng Yile felt that he was starving and his eyes were blurred, and Kapok still hadn't come back—Meng Yile couldn't wait any longer, it had been a full year since Kapok disappeared two days.

He tidied himself up casually, and ran directly to the gate of a mansion in the center of the capital without caring about cleaning and washing.

Stone lions press the formation, stacked cornices, red plaques, and golden inscriptions.

The plaque was shrouded in a shady place under the eaves, but when Meng Yile looked at it, he still felt for no reason that it was shimmering slightly under the light of the sun, and two majestic characters appeared in front of his eyes: Xie Mansion.

Meng Yile took a deep breath, strode up a few stone steps, walked up to the door and patted hard!

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps inside, someone gently opened half the door, and there was a "squeak", that sound seemed to penetrate into Meng Yile's heart, and he was suddenly nervous.

He forcibly suppressed all the tension in his heart, bowed deeply to the visitor, and said in a steady voice: "Your Majesty, Gu Minglang, come to pay your respects to Dali Temple Secretary Xie Linxie."

The person inside was a man in his 40s, with a well-tailored goatee on his chin, he stroked his own beard twice, and thought to himself, "Is it Gu Minglang, the son of Gu Yuanwai in the capital? "

"It's right here, please let me know who I am, Sir Xie."

But the old man with the goatee waved his hand and turned his head to greet the people inside, "Xiaochun, come and help me open the door. I sprained my shoulder blade yesterday, and I'm still not fully recovered today!"

Meng Yile was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled: How did the shoulder blade... get twisted?

Really, kind of confused...

A slightly familiar complaint came from inside: "There are so many people in the mansion, you just look for me. I am already busy enough worrying about my lord's affairs every day, but you just like to add things to me!"

Old man with a goatee: "I'll kiss you~"

"Who cares about being kissed by you!"

Meng Yile fell into deep thought again, these words...why do they sound so awkward?

The old man with the goatee curled his lips: "Then you give back the meat I left you yesterday!"

The inside fell silent for a moment, and after a while, the voice exploded again: "Okay, come here! Wait until I put this vase back!"

Meng Yile leaned closer and whispered to the old man with the goatee: "Old man, I can actually open the door for you."

The old man with the goatee raised his beard and refused sternly: "How can there be any reason for the guests to do it themselves?" Then he approached in a low voice.

"That kid got into a fight with me last night. It's a trick of mine! As for you, just stay on the sidelines and watch the show well, and don't ruin my plan."

Meng Yile nodded: "Oh, good." Saying that, he obediently stepped aside.

Meng Yile: [I think this old man is related to you. 】

432: [I am more handsome than him. 】

Meng Yile stabbed him mercilessly: [Good boy, you are just a system. 】

432: [Then I am also the most handsome line in the data! 】

Meng Yile: Tsk, in this world, even the system has turned into a dog!

He wanted to say something more, but suddenly there was a sound of extremely fast footsteps inside, followed by a "squeak", and the two doors were opened from the inside, and then Meng Yile looked at the surprised man He smiled and greeted him: "What a coincidence, we meet again!"

Xie Chun looked up and down: "What a coincidence! Who allowed you to come here?!"

Meng Yile replied politely as before: "I want to come, I didn't ask anyone to allow it."

"Go back where you came from!" Xie Chun said, and came out to chase people away. He didn't stop until he drove people down the last stone step, and continued to warn Meng Yile: "If you dare to act wild in front of the gate of Xie's mansion again!" , I see you hit once!"

"..." Meng Yile suddenly felt that his role was a little uncertain. Who was the one who was betraying his heart, he or Xie Lin? !Why did he become the character everyone shouted and beat? !

The old man with the goatee had finished watching a good show, and then he came out and pulled Xie Chun back: "You are the one who talks too much, this is a distinguished guest invited by the master, you are so courageous, you dare to be kicked out by others!"

Xie Chun's face was flushed with anger, and he retorted: "How did he become Master's distinguished guest, how could I not know?!"

The old man with the goatee stopped back lightly: "I have to tell you what I decided to do?" Xie Chun was speechless for a while, his face suddenly red and pale.

The old man with the goatee smiled and invited Meng Yile back: "We people in the Xie Mansion don't understand the rules, so Mr. Gu will laugh."

Meng Yile thought for a while about those unreliable servants in his yard, and suddenly felt that he had no position to see other people's smiles, so he waved his hands nonchalantly: "No problem. Xie Chun and Mr. Xie have a good relationship, it's normal."

After finishing speaking, he felt that his attitude towards Xie Lin and the people in Xie Lin's house was too good, and then he suddenly realized that the anxiety and anger in his chest had been stirred up by the scene just now, so what did that sentence mean? As the saying goes, go all out, then decline, and exhaust three times.

Meng Yile felt that the breath in his chest... was gone.

He looked aggrieved at the smiling goatee old man in front of him, and suddenly felt that he looked a bit like a smiling tiger, especially the one who could hide a knife in his hair.

——He seems to understand a little bit...why Xie Lin let such a bland old man be his housekeeper.

Old Jiang misunderstood me! ! !

But in the next second, all the anger and resentment in Meng Yile's chest came back. He turned around and looked at the soft and arrogant man who was slowly walking out of the steps. Come fire!
