The world of cultivating immortals does not raise second-rate goods

Chapter 58 Goodbye Xiao Shen 1
Baihe Town is still as lively as ever.

When passing by Qu Hao's shop, Si Li stopped and found that it had become a dim sum shop.

She walked over and asked casually: "Where is the old boss?"

"His son died, and his wife returned to her parents' home with him and Li. He was not in the mood to open a store, so he rented the store to us and went back to the countryside to farm."

Si Li felt sad and continued walking forward. After passing six shops, she found Cherry's jewelry store.

The jewelry store is closed.

There is a piece of paper pasted on the door.

'The owner goes out to deliver goods and will open the door in three days'

Due to sunlight, the writing on it has faded and the paper has turned yellow.

Si Li walked over, stretched out his hand and touched the dust.

This paper must have been posted for more than three days.

A middle-aged woman came over with her daughter in her arms. Seeing her staring at the door in a daze, she asked, "Little girl, are you here to buy jewelry from this store too?"

Si Li turned around and nodded: "Well, I heard that this jewelry store is good. I want to buy one or two pieces for my friends."

"This jewelry store does really well. It was my daughter's birthday half a month ago. I wanted to buy one for her, but the store didn't open the door."

After hearing their conversation, people around them came over one after another.

"It seems like I've been gone for more than a month. Last month, my youngest son was getting engaged. I wanted to buy jewelry to put in the bride price, but the door wasn't open when I came over."

"My daughter got married two months ago and I prepared a dowry for her. I passed by this jewelry store, but it didn't seem to be open."

……

Everyone was chattering, revealing a fact.

The cherry disappeared for a long time.

Si Li frowned, Cherry wouldn't be in danger, right?
She went around to the back of the shop, climbed over the wall, and saw clothes drying in the yard. Mushrooms were growing on the clothes. There was water in the water tank and rice in the rice tank in the kitchen.

She searched the room and found nothing suspicious.

Enter the store, open the account book under the counter, and see the last record.

On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, Shi Qin of Chongshan County scattered a pair of gold begonias and jade steps and gave them away.

There was a woman named Shi Qin who ordered a pair of step rockers from Cherry. Maybe the other party paid more, or maybe Cherry wanted to go out and have them delivered to her door?

Chongshan County is not far from Baihe Town, and you can get back and forth in one day.

It says three days on the outside. I guess Cherry and Xue Ying went out for two days?

In winter, the clothes couldn't be dried in one day, so they were not collected.

There are various indications that when Cherry left, she just thought she was going out for two days, and did not want to leave without saying goodbye, and she did not leave a letter.

and so……

She is in danger.

Otherwise, according to her temperament, she would definitely tell her.

Si Li made up her mind, took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and left a message to Yu Mu, saying that Ying Tao was missing and she went to Chongshan County to look for Ying Tao.

After writing, he folded it up, twisted the talisman, and threw it in the direction of Lihuo Palace.

After explaining her whereabouts, she quickly came to Chongshan County.

After asking around all the way, we quickly found Shi Qin's house.

Shi Qin's father entertained her and said that his daughter got married in early December last year.

Before getting married, he took his daughter to Baihe Town to buy elixirs. Seeing that Yingtao's jewelry was well made, he ordered a pair of walking sticks, but Yingtao said they couldn't make it that day.

They were anxious to deliver the elixir to downstream merchants so that they could have time to prepare for the wedding, so they ordered Yingying to be delivered to their home.

Later, Cherry sent Bu Yao over, and there were two girls in total.

Based on Shi's father's description, Si Li judged that the other girl was Xue Ying.

After sending Bu Yao off, they left the two girls to eat. After the meal, the two girls left, probably going to see the snow at Mingshui Lake.Mingshui Lake has a beautiful scenery. Many people in Chongshan County like to go there, but it is mostly warm weather.

However, some scholars and other literati would take a boat to the center of Mingshui Lake to watch the snow in winter, saying that it had a unique flavor.

Si Li was afraid that Shi's father would lie, so he asked about his son-in-law's home, and then quickly went to Shi Qin's husband's house to find Shi Qin.

Shi Qin's statement was exactly the same as his father's, and he didn't look like he was lying.

Moreover, she and her father are just ordinary people with good skills, so it would not be easy to attack Cherry.

What's more, there is Xue Ying...

No, Xue Ying!
Could it be Xue Yingxia’s hand!
Si Li gasped. After her quarrel with Xiao Shen that day, she went to find Ying Tao and saw Xue Ying, a fox who admired Fu Sui very much. At that time, she didn't take it seriously.

Cherry has a simple mind and is deceived by Xue Ying?
Si Li sighed, she didn't know Xue Ying's origins, and Yingtao was ordered to follow her. She felt uncomfortable, so she didn't ask much about Xue Ying's past.

Or is it that Fu Sui came and took both of them away?
It's unscientific. If Fu Sui comes over, Lihuo Palace should be facing a formidable enemy, and Yu Mu will tell her.

With such doubts, Si Li came to Mingshui Lake.

Mingshui Lake is full of greenery and flowers are blooming everywhere. Many people gather around here, either chatting or fishing.

Si Li walked around Mingshui Lake and found no trace of the fox.

Two months have passed and it's strange that there are still traces.

'Where has this little fox gone? '

Si Li sighed and turned around to see an old friend.

Xiao Shen.

He is much older than he was more than three months ago. He is about the same as a 40-year-old folk man. He is dressed in dirty linen clothes and holds a stick in his hand, just like a farmer.

"Senior Brother Xiao." Si Li was very surprised.

She walked over and had a lot to say in her heart...but something was stuck in her throat and she couldn't say anything.

Xiao Shen showed a reserved and embarrassed smile, like a child who had done something wrong.

Si Li's nose suddenly felt sore.

She walked over quickly, and Xiao Shen subconsciously took two steps back and bumped into the cow tied to the tree. The cow mooed twice in protest.

She stopped where she was.

Xiao Shen patted the dirt on his body, smiled sheepishly, and said with evasive eyes, "You, don't be offended."

Si Li shuddered.

How he became so humble.

She took a closer look at him and felt relieved when she saw that his inner elixir was intact.

Xiao Shen seemed to clear his thoughts, turned to look at the little girl by the water not far away, then turned his face and asked her: "What are you here for?"

"Looking for Cherry. She's missing. I heard she appeared here."

"She's not here, she was taken away."

"what?"

Seeing that he no longer avoided her, Si Li walked over and sat on a stone by the roadside.

Xiao Shen sat not far away and said in a gloomy voice: "The fire in Wancao Garden, they felt that it was closely related to Lihuo Palace, so they sent several waves of people to investigate near Lihuo Palace."

Si Li looked stern.

Could it be that Xiao Shen was hiding in Chongshan County because he was investigating the cause of the fire in Wancao Garden or the cause of his nephew's death?
He has nothing to do now, so revenge for his nephew has become his goal?
She glanced sideways at Xiao Shen, but saw that his eyes were blurred and didn't look like him.

Xiao Shen didn't notice the change in her eyes, and he didn't even notice until now that she had successfully formed the elixir. It was as if she had sealed herself in a cocoon, feeling indifferent.

"One of the people sent here was Si Congyue. Si Congyue saw that there was no hope of becoming the elder of Lingyu Peak, so he turned to Yan Guilin, that is, marrying Yan Guilin.

She is not the only one who wants to marry Yan Guilin, but also Cui Yuan, the daughter of the great protector of Xuan Dian Hall. "

Si Lixin said that it was hard to say whether the two of them loved Yan Guilin, but they definitely loved the position of the wife of the head of the Tianyan Sect.
