Chapter 263 She Disappeared
Although Xiao Yu Ge didn't believe him, she couldn't find any reason to refute. She just chose to believe him. She walked to the bedside and raised her hand: "Your Highness, it's late, I'm going to sl...Originally, while passing by the stone bridge just now, the sunlight reflected in the water, dazzling Xiao Yu Ge. She couldn't open her eyes. She immediately thought of the light she saw on the beach that night. It wasn't the light from lamps, but something moving in the water, reflecting the moonlight.
And Qian Tingxuan was because of a child's unintentional remark, saying that there was a kind of tree on Xishan Mountain that could secrete a kind of juice. Put it in various molds, and after drying in the sun, it could become a container that is airtight. The key is that its flexibility is very good, and it is difficult to break without using tools.
Now that they knew the location of the hundred stones of salt, but how could they find those people
"Doctor Ke'er! Doctor Ke'er!"
As the two were discussing, a voice suddenly came from outside—it was Liu Lian's.
They looked at each other and walked out of the hut. Seeing Liu Lian with an anxious face, they asked, "Liu foreman, what happened"
Liu Lian wiped her tears and said, "Doctor Ke'er, Tai Nai Nai is gone..."
"What!"
Xiao Yuge and Qian Tingxuan looked at each other, both feeling a mixture of sadness and disbelief. Xiao Yuge had known for some time that her grandmother was nearing the end, but when the day finally arrived, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
"Come on, let's go see." Xiao Yuge pulled Qian Tingxuan and ran towards Elder Liu of Liuzhuang.
Grandmother Liu had passed away. The village chief said she died peacefully, finally able to see her only granddaughter get married. She had no regrets. Only everyone knew that Lan'er was still missing, and couldn't help but feel sad. Xiao Yuge knew that if he wanted his grandmother to truly rest in peace, he had to find Lan'er. Otherwise, even in the afterlife, she would be heartbroken.
Grandma Liu Tai was the oldest person in both villages, and everyone respected her deeply. With her passing, everyone was heartbroken. From people in their sixties and seventies to toddlers just a few years old, all came to pay their respects. They crowded into Village Chief Liu's courtyard, each in their own way silently bidding farewell to Grandma Liu on her final journey.
Li Lian, who was known as a filial grandson, secretly slipped away while no one was looking. Zhang Qian had been waiting for him there for a long time.
"Liu Lian, today is the best opportunity. Everyone is at Village Head Liu's right now, they haven't noticed anything. If we miss today, it will be even harder to transport that hundred stones of salt out later on. I've brought the people, what about the goods"
Liu Lian thought for a moment, then seemed to make a decision: "Alright, I'll take you there!"
Zhang gave his subordinate beside him a look: "Let's go!"
Liu, accompanied by them, took a winding path to the seaside. At that moment, moonlight bathed upon the sea surface. The autumn wind swept across, causing ripples to appear on the once calm surface, sparkling and dazzling. Near a certain stone, it shone even brighter.
"The things are under those stones!"
"Go and have a look!" Zhang Qianming ordered his subordinate.
A subordinate jumped into the sea, fumbled around underwater for a while, and surfaced, waving to Zhang Qian: “Sir, the items are right here.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qian's face lit up with delight. With a wave of his hand, he exclaimed, "Go quickly! Haul them all up!"
"Yes!" Ten men jumped into the sea swiftly.
Today, there's a funeral at Liu village chief's house. The guards patrolling nearby have also been called away by Liu Lian, so Zhang Qian and his men moved things around here boldly without any worry about someone suddenly showing up.
"Master Zhang, I must return now. I cannot be out for too long, lest it arouse suspicion." Liu Lian saw the long sword on Zhang Qian's back, and he seemed to have thought of something.
Zhang Qian thought for a moment, and nodded: "Right, you are filial to your grandson, you can't be out too long, lest it arouse suspicion from others, so go back."
"That thing..."
“Don’t worry, after the matter is settled, I will plead for you in front of the master. I will definitely make your wish come true to become a salt official!” Zhang Qianhua painted a big pie too, even though she wanted to kill someone to silence them, she still gave them a beautiful dream.
"Thank you!" Liu Lian was delighted to hear this.
"Oh, right!" Zhang Qian seemed to remember something and stopped him: "The master said there's still one more young lady missing. You better figure out a way to get another girl."
"Where can I find a woman In the village, there are either young girls or older women who are closely watched by adults. Where can I possibly find someone" Liu Lian yelled angrily. If he hadn't been unable to find anyone last time, he wouldn't have kidnapped his own cousin.
"Didn't a female doctor come to your village I heard she looks just like an immortal. If the master saw her, he would definitely be pleased. He might even give you a higher position then."
"She got married yesterday." Liu Lian also quite liked Xiao Yuge. It could be said that almost all the unmarried young people in the village had a good impression of her when they saw her. However, later they heard that her new husband was her fiancé, so they gradually gave up their thoughts.
"Newly married and not pregnant, what's the problem" Zhang Qian was unconcerned. After all, the master hadn't specified that she had to be a virgin: "Don't forget, this is the master's final test for you. If you can complete it successfully, your future will be limitless."
Liu Lian thought for a moment, then nodded: "Alright, I'll try to find a way." In the face of profit, a woman could abandon anything, but he didn't know that the person he was about to provoke was someone he couldn't afford to mess with in his entire life.
As soon as Liu Lian arrived back at the door of Elder Liu, he happened to see that Elder Liu was looking for him.
"Xiao Lian, where did you go I couldn't find you anywhere. The ceremony is about to begin, and you are such a filial grandson, how could you miss it" Village Head Liu urged him to go in quickly.
"Alright, Grandfather, I'll go in right away!" Although he wasn't related by blood, he was the only great-grandson in the extended family, so of course, he had to be there.
Midway through the ceremony, Liu Lian suddenly said that she had a stomach ache and quietly left. At that time, everyone was heartbroken and crying, and no one noticed her departure.
Xiao Yuge felt that it was late, but just now Qian Tingxuan had quietly told her that he had something to go out and do. As a result, after so long, he still hadn't come back. She was a little worried and decided to go out and find him.
She thought he had gone back to the cabin, so she went back to check. Qian Tingxuan wasn't there. She stayed in the cabin for a while, then decided to go back to Liu Cunzhang's place. She was afraid that if Qian Tingxuan came back and couldn't find her, he would worry again.
As she passed over the stone bridge, something on the side suddenly caught her attention. She stopped and crouched down to take a closer look. Just then, a black shadow darted out from behind her. Before she could react, it covered her mouth tightly with something. She instinctively wanted to fight back, but the strange fragrance made her immediately fall into a coma......e was shocked and dismayed."Don't worry, as long as you listen to me, this poison won't kill you for a while!" Xiao Yuge stopped pretending, anyway, everything was almost under control. He could get a...
