Chapter Ten: Nosy Catherine

"Hahaha, did you bother you?" The mayor poured himself a big bowl of strong wine and said with a laugh: "Last night, Lao Dake found that his daughter was missing. Everyone helped to find it all night. When they were looking for it, they deliberately avoided it. Unexpectedly, it still made a fuss about you. I'm really embarrassed, hahaha, I'll scold them when I turned around."

"I didn't make a noise. We were awakened by the light." Catherine frowned and was very confused about the mayor's attitude. Judging from the mayor's concern for the people of the town, if the loss of composure is serious, he would not have reacted like this. However, if it is easy to find it in the town, he would not have been looking for it all night. So he asked seriously: "Why did he disappear? Was he found it in the end?"

"Haha, I didn't find it, but I already knew the clues." The mayor smiled awkwardly, drank the wine in the bowl, shook his head and said, "Little Betty ran out by himself, so there should be no problem, so everyone is not so worried."

"Have you run out by yourself?" Catherine repeated in surprise, looking at the snow outside and said: "It was still a blizzard. In such a cold weather, a little girl ran out by herself? How old is she? And you can rest assured?"

"This explanation is quite complicated." The mayor scratched his head and said, "Are you interested? If you are interested, you can tell you this story. After you listen, you will know why everyone is reacting like this now."

"Okay, we haven't had much else to wait these days, there's only enough time." Catherine made a gesture of inviting the room and nodded, "But if Mr. Mayor doesn't mind, please come in and tell you this story."

"Okay." The bearded mayor jumped off the sled and patted the heads of a group of dogs. The white giant dog barked a few times, whimpered and squeezed together on the ground, waiting for the mayor to board the sled again. Several people returned to the house together, and Catherine added a few pieces of firewood to the fire to make the flames more vigorous. Then she sat down around the fire with several girls, and took the black tea handed over by Freya and placed it on the coffee table. The mayor also sat down. He took out the wine pot from his arms and took a bite, recalling: "Little Betty is the old Dark family. He is seventeen years old this year, and he is the most beautiful one in our town. The pastor's day before yesterday, and Betty said he was in a bad mood, so he didn't follow him.

Go and stayed at home. Then after the treatment was over, everyone was busy with the evening banquet. Lao Dake never went home. It was not until the night that he returned home drunk. After returning home, he fell asleep and did not find that his daughter was missing. He got up yesterday morning, although he didn't see his daughter, he thought her daughter was just going out to play as before. So he didn't care too much. Until the dinner was over at night, his daughter hadn't returned home, and he realized that something was wrong. Later, he made a fuss and found out that his daughter left him a note saying that he wanted to go to the north for a while, but Lao Dake had always disagreed, so she took this opportunity to go to the north with others."

"With someone else?" Catherine raised her eyebrows and said keenly: "She didn't go there by herself, and there is still someone to accompany her?"

"Well. This matter has to start from the beginning." The mayor sighed and stroked the chaotic beard and said, "I just said that Little Betty is the most beautiful child in the town. The young boys in the town are very obsessed with her. However, this little guy is quite cold to other boys. He only plays with Little Neo and Little Chester since childhood. He has a good relationship. Everyone has always been curious about which child Betty would choose to get married. Who is the last lucky one? But everyone is optimistic about Little Chester because Betty obviously spends more time with Chester."

"Hmph, an old love story." Lina snorted coldly and patted the book in her hand: "I'm tired of listening to such stories, and it's not interesting at all."

"Yeah, it's not interesting at all." Panis nodded and said, "So my ears just stood up, right?"

"It seems you've already fallen in love with the feeling of being buried in the snow." Lina stared at Panis and sneered, "Right, huh?"

"I'm sorry I was wrong." Panis immediately lowered his head and apologized: "Please forgive my mistake."

The bearded mayor smiled, not caring about the interruption of the two, and continued: "When Old Dark found out that Betty was not at home yesterday, he thought she had been looking for Little Chester to play. This kind of thing often happens. Although Little Chester is the only one, the child is still very sensible and can take good care of Betty, so Old Dark didn't care. As a result, before Betty came back, Old Dark was a little anxious. After all, Betty had never returned so late before, so he ran to Little Chester's house to find him. As a result, Little Chester was only at home, and Betty never went to find him."

"At this time, Lao Dake was a little anxious and started looking around in the town, which also alarmed many neighbors." The mayor sighed and said, "In the end, I was also quarreled and followed them to search the whole town."

"Didn't you go to the Neo's house to look for it?" Freya held each other in her chest with her hands, her eyes shining with touching light, and said emotionally: "What a beautiful love story. The girl is surrounded by two handsome and strong boys, one is gentle and the other is romantic. Each one is so fascinating, each one is so reluctant to leave. On one side is a considerate big brother, on the other side is a passionate lover, a young and beautiful girl, you choose...Oh."

Vivian took back his staff expressionlessly, and the top of the collision between Biao Chuan and Freya continued to look at the ceiling as if nothing had happened. Catherine smiled apologetically at the mayor and continued, "Sorry, everyone is a little... uh, you'd better keep talking, we're all listening carefully."

"Actually, this mage lady is right. After we searched for half a town, we remembered that we should go to the house of Little Neo to look for it." The mayor continued, "So we went to the house of Neo. Like Little Chester, our parents died early and lived independently under twenty years old. However, Neo was a little better than Little Chester. He still had a piece of land, not just hunting and selling furs like Little Chester. When we arrived at Little Neo's house, we found that Neo was not at home. Now everyone was really anxious and turned around the town again, but neither of them found it."

"Later, everyone saw that Lao Dake's eyes were red in an anxious manner, so they forced him to go home and rest, and then look for it later." The mayor recalled: "After forcing him to go home, he ran into Betty's room and cried. Fortunately, there were sharp-eyed people who found the note she left on Betty's dressing table. Only then did he know that Betty had secretly set off to the north while the group treatment was being treated."

"Huh?" Catherine asked strangely, "Didn't Ner's mention of Ner's?"

"I guess I'm shy. I didn't mention Neu's name. I just said we went to the north together. I thought it was strange before." The mayor explained: "But later Chester solved our doubts and he remembered it. Just a few days ago, when Betty was playing with him, he mentioned that he wanted to go to the north to see the world, but his father was always worried that she would not allow her to go, so he wanted to go secretly. He also asked Chester if he would accompany her. As a result, Chester scolded her and said that she shouldn't not listen to her father's words and sneaked away by herself. At that time, she also said that she wouldn't go. Now it seems that Chester did not agree to her, but Neu should agree to her. I see that the sleds and the two sled deer in the Neu family are gone. They should be driving the sled together."

"It's so snowing, are the two of them going on the road?" Catherine asked in confusion: "This is not very reasonable."

"They should have set off yesterday morning." The mayor said: "The blizzard was much smaller at that time, and they could travel normally. They probably were worried that Old Dark would be angry to catch them back, so they took advantage of the snow to rush around so that the snow could cover up their own traces and avoid Old Dark's tracking. In fact, he knew that Neo followed Betty's child, Dark was not so worried. After all, Neo had spoiled Betty since he was a child, and he would rather suffer himself than make Betty happy. Compared to Chester, Old Dark actually likes Neo more."

"What's wrong." Catherine and Penis looked at each other, and Penis nodded. Catherine frowned and said, "It's very wrong. Did Neo and Chester attend the group therapy the day before yesterday and the evening party?"

"Neo only showed up during group treatment, and then went back." The mayor said: "Chester was there all the way and kept busy until the night before going home."

"I always think there is something wrong here." Catherine stood up and walked in place, thinking for a while and asked, "Are you not going to chase after me today? Two young people, one of whom was only a seventeen-year-old girl, was just two people going to the north, and they were still braved by the wind and snow. It was too dangerous."

"Of course I'm ready." said the mayor: "Now several young people are preparing things with Lao Dake. When they are ready, they will set out to find them. However, it should be difficult to find such heavy snow."

Catherine lowered her head and thought for a while, and gave a wink at Panis. Panis smiled bitterly and sighed, nodded and said, "When you are ready, call us, let's go with you to find it. After all, when it comes to tracking skills, I still have some confidence."
