Chapter 138 Plum Blossom Dart
Xiao Huan was in a daze, and she reached out to touch Yuanyuan next to her to see if the little guy had wet the bed, but her hand came up empty.
She stirred, and all her hazy sleepiness disappeared.
I lit a lamp and searched every corner of the compartment. I even opened the boxes and looked through them one by one, but I couldn't find the soft dumpling.
The door was closed, but Yuanyuan was missing.
For a moment, the thought of robbing the child, stealing the child, and selling the child came into his mind. Xiaohuan turned pale with fright, and hurriedly put on his clothes and went out to look for the child.
Lu Chengjing was doing rehabilitation training on his right hand. When he heard the noise, he thought Shang Wan was back, so he opened the door and went out to take a look.
Seeing the panicked Xiao Huan, he frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"
"Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan is gone." Xiaohuan was so anxious that her eyes filled with tears. She searched all over the box where Yuanyuan liked to hide, but no one was found.
"The door was closed, and Yuanyuan was gone as soon as I woke up."
"Don't worry, Yuanyuan won't run around." Lu Chengjing said, "I'll go look at the stone, and you can go look for it in the wolf den."
"Yes, there is a wolf den." Xiaohuan opened the door and rushed out.
Lu Chengjing also quickly walked to the cubicle where Shitou slept. When he glanced at it, he saw that the door was closed.
His heart sank, but he still raised his hand and knocked on the door with a glimmer of hope.
Shi Shi was awakened by the knock on the door, rubbed his eyes and opened the door, "Who is it - brother-in-law? Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Lu Chengjing didn't care to say anything. He glanced at the dim compartment and asked, "Is Yuanyuan in there?"
"Yuanyuan?" Shitou's mind was still a little confused after he had just woken up, "Isn't Yuanyuan sleeping with Xiaohuan?"
You shouldn't come to him to find Yuanyuan.
Lu Chengjing said solemnly: "Yuanyuan is gone."
"Oh, gone..." Shitou nodded and froze in the middle, his eyes suddenly widened, and he lost his voice, "Gone?!"
Lu Chengding nodded, "Light the candle and see if Yuanyuan is inside."
Shitou immediately complied.
There weren't many things in the cubicle where he lived. When the candlelight came on, the inside of the cubicle was clearly visible.
Yuanyuan is not here.
"Brother-in-law, Yuanyuan is not in the wolf den, and neither is Xiao Hui." Xiao Huan ran in, her voice trembling with anxiety.
Not only the wolf den, but also the belly of the cow and the belly of the sheep.
Lu Chengjing closed his eyes forcefully, and while comforting the two of them not to worry, he quickly thought about Yuanyuan's whereabouts.
First of all, rule out the possibility of Yuanyuan being abducted.
There are no windows in the compartment, only ventilation holes. If an uninvited guest comes in and abducts Yuanyuan, they can only use the door.
There is a sound when the wooden door is opened from the outside, but there is no sound when going out from the inside.
He was awake all the time. If someone really came in from outside the door, there was no way he wouldn't hear any movement.
Therefore, Yuanyuan should have left on her own.
As for the method, the little guy insisted that Xiao Hui sleep in the shed tonight, and he probably rode Xiao Hui.
The time to leave should be after the lady enters the mountain, otherwise she will definitely be caught.
Thinking of this, Lu Chengjing's tense heartstrings relaxed slightly, and then he thought of the assassins who might be spinning around, and his relaxed heartstrings immediately tightened again.
What if Yuanyuan meets that group of assassins...
He didn't dare to think any more, he let out a deep breath and said to the two of them: "Go and have a look in the fields first. Yuanyuan may have gone to see the owl."
The owl, also known as an owl, flew here a few days ago, and Yuanyuan likes it very much.
The three of them packed up and just put up the lanterns and stepped out, when they met Shang Wan who was coming back.
She asked doubtfully: "It's so late at night, where are you going?"
Seeing the little guy sleeping in a ball in her arms, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. "Sister, where did you find Yuanyuan?" Xiaohuan stepped forward to hug Yuanyuan and looked at her worriedly.
"In the mountains," Shang Wan said, "She ran into the mountains to find me. Don't worry, she's not hurt."
Xiaohuan squeezed her round and red face helplessly. She almost scared her to death just now.
Shang Wan said: "It's so late at night, go to bed. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Shitou yawned, "Then I'll go to bed first."
Xiaohuan also carried Yuanyuan back to the cubicle.
Lu Chengjing didn't move, standing at the door waiting for Shang Wan.
He just smelled the slightest smell of blood from Shang Wan.
After Shang Wan simply washed himself with the warm water on the stove, he took his fox back to the cubicle.
The candlelight flickered and the black shadows swayed.
Lu Chengjing sat next to Shang Wan, combing his fingers, starting from the scalp, and gently undoing the wind-knotted hair on the back of Shang Wan's head.
Shang Wan squinted his eyes comfortably.
Lu Chengjing asked warmly: "Did you meet those assassins?"
"Well, there are six of them, so it can be considered a mistake." Shang Wan said, "When we encounter them, we can solve them easily."
"What can I ask?"
"They all have very tough words," Shang Wan said. "I deliberately left two alive. I originally wanted to interrogate them, but they actually hid poison in their teeth. I didn't ask any questions, so they took the poison and committed suicide."
The tone was very regretful, at least I should give you some useful information before I die.
Lu Chengjing: "Where is the body?"
"Buried it," Shang Wan said, "I originally planned to burn it, but burning it would be very smokey and time-consuming, so it would be faster to just bury it."
Lu Chengjing took the wooden comb and gently ran it along his hair.
Shang Wan tilted his head to look at him, "I searched their bodies and didn't find anything iconic. But I brought their weapons back."
She stretched out her hand in front of her body, white light flashed, and five daggers, two three-edged thorns, three long knives, and a pile of plum blossom darts appeared on the ground.
Lu Chengjing picked them up one by one and looked at them. Except for the plum blossom darts, the other weapons had no patterns at all. They were ordinary enough that they could be made in any blacksmith shop.
"Look at this, does it look like a bat?" Shang Wan pointed to the pattern on the corner of the plum blossom dart and asked Lu Chengjing to take a closer look.
Lu Chengjing looked closer for a moment and nodded, "It does look like it."
Shang Wan took out the jade pendant that Chu Xu gave her and pointed at the two bats under the word "chu". "They are both bats. There shouldn't be many people who use bats as their emblems, right?"
Lu Chengjing frowned, "You mean these assassins were sent by people from Duke Dingguo's palace?"
Shang Wan shrugged, "Who knows? If the assassin is really sent by Duke Dingguo, this matter will be even more troublesome."
Lu Chengjing lowered his eyes in deep thought, a slight frown forming between his brows, but he did not stop combing Shang Wan's hair.
Shang Wan put all his weapons into the space and tilted his head to look at him carefully. Should he say it or not, this face is really good-looking anytime.
How could someone look so like her?
He reached out and touched Lu Chengjing's eyebrows, rubbed open the wrinkles, and asked with a smile, "Aren't you afraid of getting wrinkles now?"
Lu Chengjing: "..."
He put down the wooden comb, tugged the smooth black hair at his hand, and said softly: "Bring the darts to Chu Xu tomorrow and see how he reacts."
Shang Wan also had this plan.
She opened her mouth and yawned, then raised her hands to hug the slim waist of the person beside her, "I'm sleepy, go to sleep."
Lu Chengjing said "hmm", blew out the two candles, lay down with the person in his arms, and pulled the thin quilt over him.
Shang Wan closed his eyes and nuzzled into his arms. The familiar scent of ink with a hint of pine scent entered his nose, and sleepiness gradually began to rise.
