Chapter 47(1/2)

Two days have passed, and the scope of the search has been expanding, but there has never been any news about Xier's whereabouts.

Mu Fulan followed the people into the vast wilderness outside the horse farm. On the evening of the third day, she finally learned about a news that another team of soldiers who had sent searching to find a child's shoes next to a mud land dozens of miles away from here.

When she rushed over, the moment she saw the scene, the blood in her body stopped flowing instantly.

A small shoe fell on the ground, and a pool of dried blood was on the edge.

Several soldiers were whispering about the animal hoof prints seen nearby. They said that in addition to horse hoofs, there were also wolf footprints.

“…it must be a lot of danger…”

The sound of their speech reached Mu Fulan's ears with the wind.

When Xier was taken away, she was barefoot. Xie Changgeng brought him a pair of shoes on the road. He took the shoes from the soldier, looked down at them, and recognized them.

"Is this Xier's shoes?"

A hoarse voice came from his ears.

He looked up and saw her staring at him, slowly walked towards this side and asked.

Looking at the red eyes in front of him, which were embedded in the pale face, for a moment, he didn't know how he should answer her.

He was silent.

"Tell me!"

She opened her eyes wide and asked sternly.

The sound alarmed the people nearby. Everyone followed the sound and saw this, they were all secretly surprised.

Xie Changgeng's five fingers slowly pinched the small shoe covered with mud in his hand, and said softly: "Yes."

From the day Xier was taken away, there was never a moment of peace in her heart. She was exhausted all the way and finally arrived here. What was waiting for her was the news.

In the past few days, she didn't know why she was hungry and couldn't sleep. As long as she closed her eyes, Xier's appearance would appear in front of her. He held his neck with two small hands and smiled and called her mother.

Her spirit was already tense like a straight bowstring. As Xier disappeared longer and longer, she was on the verge of collapse.

She just didn't think about it, and refused to think about any bad possibilities.

She held her breath and told herself in her heart that Xier was very safe. He was just lost in a place where others didn't know. He was still fine.

It was with this tone that she had been able to hold on until now.

And at this moment, when he heard the words "yes" coming out of his mouth, he seemed to have a buzzing sound of a sudden breaking bowstring in his ears.

She fell head-on.

Xie Changgeng was shocked, subconsciously reached out his hand, held his soft body into his arms, and called her.

Her head drooped softly on his chest, her eyes closed without any response.

He picked her up, looked up, and looked at the dark sky.

It was already far away from the horse farm here and I couldn't get back. He ordered his men to withdraw their teams, set up tents in the high ground, and spend the night temporarily on the spot.

The tent was soon set up, Xie Changgeng carried the person into the tent, lay on the felt bed, and then summoned the accompanying military doctor.

The military doctor had treated her and whispered: "The Master Weng should be overworked and anxious. He heard the bad news again and fainted after he held his breath. After resting, he would wake up. The governor should not worry."

The military doctor retreated, Xie Changgeng lowered his head, looked at the dismal face with thick dark circles under the lamp, and slowly stretched out his hand and tucked the corner of the felt quilt for her.

The next morning, it was dawn, and Liu An came to find him and asked about the next arrangement.

Xie Changgeng stood outside the tent, looking at the vast wilderness confused by the morning mist, frowned slightly, without answering for a moment.

Liu An looked at the tent behind him and whispered: "I have been searching for many days. The place is too big. Finding someone is like finding a needle in a haystack. What's more, I saw my shoes yesterday, and there were wolves marks next to it. In most cases, the young master is in danger. Fei Mo said rudely, even if he found it, he would probably only have corpses left..."

As he was talking, he suddenly heard an abnormal sound in the tent behind him, and hurriedly closed his mouth and turned to look.

Xie Changgeng asked him to wait for a moment, and immediately turned around and walked towards the tent.

Mu Fulan suddenly opened her eyes.

She lay in a dimly lit tent, covered with a felt quilt, and covered with a man's cloak.

Her eyes fell on the top of the tent, and her five fingers grabbed the felt pad under her body. After a while, she sat up straight, lifted the felt quilt and clothes covered by her body, and walked out.

After only a few steps, he staggered and his body shook for a while.

Xie Changgeng lifted the curtain and was bent over and hit her. He stretched out his arms and held her in a hand.

"You go and rest again!"

He looked down at her still pale face and said.

Mu Fulan's eyes were distracted, without any focus, and she didn't see him at all. She pushed him away and continued to walk out. Xie Changgeng grabbed his wrist with his backhand.

He clamped her struggling body.

"If this continues, you will fall down yourself!"

His tone was stern.

Mu Fulan was in his hand, as if a willow branch was about to be broken.

"He has two shoes! I saw one! There was another one, still on his feet! Why do you say he is gone!"

She said with her eyes red, struggling desperately.

"Let me go. I'm going to find it!"

Xie Changgeng picked up his weak body, pressed it back to the felt bed, and said, "Wait until you eat something later, you will go back!"

His tone was firm and irresistible.

He stood up and headed out.

Mu Fulan fell down from the felt bed, stared at his back, gritted her teeth, pulled out a hairpin from her head, and chased after him.

She raised her hand and used all her strength to stab the sharp hairpin in her hand into his back.

The tip of the hairpin pierced his clothes, penetrated his flesh, and stuck it on the shoulder bones, about an inch deep.

Xie Changgeng's figure suddenly froze.

She pulled it out and stabbed it again.

Another dull "puff".

The tip of the hairpin penetrated deep into the flesh again. In her hand, it was bent.

He slowly turned his head, frowned, and his face twisted slightly.

As he looked at him with frightened eyes, she red eyes, shed tears that had never shed in the past few months, and said word by word: "Xie Changgeng, I know this is not your original intention. But this is what you deserve."

"You don't have to look for it anymore! I'll look for it myself!"

"Get out!"

She pushed away the man who was still stiff and walked out.

Blood emerged from the man's injured back.

At first, there were only two dark red spots that penetrated into the clothes. Soon, the blood ball became larger and quickly became stained and connected into one piece.

Under his clothes, the blood column slowly flowed down his thin waist.

Xie Changgeng's eyes did not blink, staring at the woman who had already walked to the tent and was about to leave, and his eyes seemed to be stained with blood.

He pursed his lips tightly, stretched out his arms, spread his fingers, dragged the man back, and slapped him on the felt bed. Before she could get up, he pressed her legs on one knee to stop her resistance. Then he held her hands behind her with one hand, picked up the coat he had taken off the cover she had last night, bit it with his teeth, pulled it, tore it into two pieces, used as a rope, and tied her hands and feet firmly.

"I think you are crazy! You crazy woman! How dare you stab me!"

Xie Changgeng subdued her, then reached out, touched her behind her, looked at the blood wiping in her palm, and gritted her teeth and said.

Mu Fulan stopped struggling, curled up like shrimps, her face pressed against the felt bed, her eyes closed, tears kept rolling from the corners of her eyes, and soon wet the felt bed.

Xie Changgeng stared at her, gasped for a while, and said angrily: "You should be honest with me! I'll just ask someone to look for him again! I'm really gone, so I'll get the bones back for you!"

He turned around, lifted the curtain and walked out.

Liu An was just outside and faintly heard a strange movement in the tent. It sounded a little wrong, as if the two of them had started fighting inside, feeling uneasy and did not dare to go in. He was standing outside and looking around, suddenly seeing Xie Changgeng walked out, his face full of anger, hesitated, and went up to meet him.

"Transfer my order and camp here. Then transfer two camps from the nearest Mingwei Shou to come over and continue to look for them! You have to see people alive and see corpses alive! Find them until you find them!"

He shouted sternly, and after he finished speaking, he walked away and ordered someone to bring his horse.

Liu An was stunned and did not dare to ask more. He said with a slogan. He was about to make arrangements when he suddenly saw blood stains on his back. Looking closely, there were two holes wide in his blood-stained clothes, as if they were injured by some small sharp blade. Judging from the amount of bleeding, the wound should be quite shallow.

He was shocked and chased after him and said, "Sir, your wound..."

Xie Changgeng grabbed the reins handed over by his entourage, turned his head and stared at him: "Go and pass the order!"

Liu An was very sure. Just a moment ago, the Jiedushi entered the tent, from head to toe, and was still fine. Now that he came out, two holes were pierced on his back in a blink of an eye.

No need to think about it, the one who starts must be the master.

The lost child is said to be the adopted son of the Lord.

It was normal that the Jiedushi and Wengzhu were disgusted as his adopted son.

What he never expected was that the couple had a fight, and the gentle and virtuous man-in-law, who usually looked weak, would take such a ruthless move against the governor.
