Gao Yuan stood under the cold wind and looked at the thick snow in the courtyard.
Qi Lin did not sleep well. He plans to “escape” in the middle of the night and go to the most prosperous place in the Capital for a walk. Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he saw his great-uncle standing in front of the door in a daze. He was so scared that his knees were limp!
But soon, he realized that his great-uncle had not seen him. He quietly breathed a sigh of relief. After hesitating for a moment, he walked towards his great-uncle. “Great Park, very cold. Why are you standing on the wind?”
Gao Yuan's gaze was still fixed on the thick snow. “Weather will change.”
“Change?” Qi Lin looked at the snow that filled the sky and said confusedly, “It's already very cold. How else could that change?
“I'll ask you again. Where's my son?”
“Chancellor Gao, I will give you one last chance. I'll count to three. If you still don't tell me where my son is, I'll kill your grandson.
Gao Yuan closed his eyes with a complicated expression. “Two days left.. Two more days before they disappear..”.
His voice was very soft, but Qi Lin's hearing was good.
Qi Lin was confused. “What's missing? Who's missing?”
Great Uncle these days is very strange …
…
Yu Wan was awakened by the sound of chewing. He turned around and saw a large lump on the blanket beside him. Little Bruiser was kneeling under the blanket with his butt raised. She held a soft and sweet piece of shrimp puff cake in her hand and put it in her mouth.
He thought his voice was not loud, but he did not know that he had woken Yu Wan.
Yu Wan did not know whether to laugh or cry.
For the past two nights, he kept hearing the sound of a little mouse biting something. It turned out that he was not dreaming, nor was he a little mouse. It was this little bruiser who stole food.
“How many times have I told you not to eat at night? You're gonna break your teeth, okay?
As soon as Yu Wan's voice sounded, there was no more movement from the blanket.
Yu Wan did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Alright, it's dawn. Come out and eat if you want.”
Little Bruiser refused to come out.
At this moment, a faint voice sounded from behind the kitchen.
Yu Wan looked towards the kitchen and patted Little Bruiser's butt through the blanket. “I'll deal with you when I get back.”
With that, he put on his clothes and went to the backyard to open the door for Yu Feng.
They received three orders at Bai Manor's birthday party. They were thirty pounds of white boiled goat meat, ten boiled ducks, twenty boiled pork knuckles, ten pounds of boiled tofu, five pounds of boiled intestines, and ten pounds of pork belly. Today was the day of delivery, and its location was at White Jade Restaurant.
However, Yu Feng was not here to ask him to deliver the item. He was here to deliver the bread to Yu Wan. “Bread that just came out of the pot. They have cabbage filling, mutton stuffing, and brown sugar.”
“Thank you, Brother.” Yu Wan took her basket, lit a fire, and heated the bread in the pot. After taking a bath, he picked up the brown sugar bun and left with Yu Feng.
They brought the ox cart they rented with Shuanzi's father two days ago to the city.
The city was even more lively than usual. There was a lot of traffic and pedestrians rubbing against each other. Some returned to the Capital, while others returned to their hometowns. Restaurant and full lodging. Even the Jadeite Pavilion, which had lost most of its business due to the White Jade Restaurant, was filled with customers.
The brothers brought the boiled food to White Jade Restaurant.
“Yu brothers are here?” Shopkeeper Zhou walked over with a smile.
“Store Guard Zhou,” greet Yu Wan. “We are here to deliver food.”
Shopkeeper Zhou said kindly, “You are really early in the morning. They haven't arrived yet, but it doesn't matter. Miss has already instructed that if they haven't come yet, you can leave her plate here. I'll pay you money first.
Yu Wan did not refuse. “Thank you, Shopkeeper Zhou.”
“This is a small problem!” Shopkeeper Zhou waved his hand and turned around to check the goods.
Yu Feng suddenly said, “Did Miss Bai not exist?”
Yu Wan glanced at him.
Shopkeeper Zhou was stunned for a moment before saying, “Nona has returned to the Capital. I'm afraid he won't be back before the New Year.
“He back alone?” Yu Feng asked.
Shopkeeper Zhou smiled. “Old Master brought him back.”
“I understand ..” Yu Feng was a little surprised.
“Eighty copper coins for one pound of boiled goat meat, one hundred copper coins for boiled duck, eighty copper coins for boiled pig knuckles, one hundred copper coins for boiled pig knuckles, ten copper coins for one pound tofu boiled ..” As Shopkeeper Zhou read, he counted with his abomination . Soon, he counted all the accounts. “Total four taels of silver and eight hundred forty coins of copper.”
This is the price of the New Year, and is double than usual.
Yu Wan was very satisfied. After picking up the silver, Yu Wan thanked Shopkeeper Zhou.
“I'll drive the cow cart. Wait for me here, ” Yu Feng said. Their oxcarts were parked in an alley to the right of White Jade Restaurant, and there were workers watching him.
Yu Feng left.
Yu Wan was waiting for him in the hall, but after waiting for a while, she did not see Yu Feng driving the ox cart. Yu Wan felt something was amiss and immediately walked to the alley where the ox cart was parked.
The oxcart was still there, but Yu Feng had disappeared.
Yu Wan asked the shop assistant about the carriage, but was told that Yu Feng had not come to drive the ox carriage at all.
Yu Wan went to the toilet and the backyard to take a look, but there was still no sign of Yu Feng's whereabouts.
It's freaky. Yu Feng was not someone who would leave without saying goodbye. If he had a change at the last minute, he would have definitely told him first.
“Are you looking for your older brother?” Asked a young shop assistant who was cleaning up the dust.
Yuwan nodded. “Have you seen it?”
The young man pointed to another alley not far from there. “She and several others went there.”
Yu Wan's first reaction was that Yu Feng had been kidnapped.
In fact, Yu Wan had guessed right. Yu Feng had been kidnapped by some criminals. When the siblings pulled the wagon of goods into the White Jade Restaurant, the rioters had been eyeing them. However, the rioters might not have expected that the silver was not in Yu Feng's hands but in Yu Wan's.
In that case, Yu Feng would probably suffer.
Yu Wan's eyes turned cold. “Are you sure it's that gang?”
“Ya, alley after you turn right,” said the shop assistant with great confidence.
Yu Wan clenched her hands, picked up the scythe from the basket, and walked in the direction the young man pointed to.
“Ssst—hold your voice! It's not easy to catch this guy. Don't tell the officer!”
As he passed by an empty house, Yu Wan heard the man's voice from inside.
Yu Wan stopped her steps and heard others say, “Even if the office comes, we are not afraid. We have more than ten brothers!”
Yu Wan, who was about to rush into the courtyard with her scythe, stopped in her tracks.
“In addition, wasn't he drugged? He won't wake up.”
They even drugged him?
A strange feeling surged in Yu Wan's heart.
“You guys, come.” The leader whispered something to his brothers. Soon, the door opens.
Yu Wan hurriedly hid behind a large tree.
There were seven or eight people left.
With half the number of people missing, Yu Wan had a higher chance of winning. However, he still did not plan to barge in.
He looked at the large tree in front of him, put a scythe on his waist, climbed the tree with his bare hands, and climbed the wall.
“Time to eat!”
“Good!”
The house does not look big, but it has two entrances. The place he turned happened to be in the last row of rooms.the local who was guarding him went to the living room to pick up his food. Yu Wan wanted to save Yu Feng before he returned.
Yu Wan came to the locked room. He took off the hairpin on his head, forcibly opened the lock, and quietly entered.
The room was quiet. Curtains on the bed are lowered, covering the inside tightly.
The strangeness in Yu Wan's heart grew even more. Isn't it a bit too grandiose to treat a country vendor like this?
He frowned and lifted the curtain!
This was definitely not her brother! It was clearly three small munchkins that were less than two years old!
