Chapter 40 News
Jiang Ning was right. The old beggar who occupies the best position in the county is not an ordinary beggar, but the leader of beggars in the entire county.

After accepting Jiang Ning's entrustment, the old beggar gave an order, and all the beggars in the city quickly gathered.

Because ordinary people usually don't pay attention to dirty beggars, beggars tend to eavesdrop or see things they shouldn't hear or see.

After the old beggar explained Jiang Ning's commission, several beggars immediately stepped forward to provide information.

The old beggar gathered the news of the younger brothers and found that everyone was talking about the other missing persons. As for Jiang Ning's parents, no beggar had seen them. After all, Jiang Ning's mother couldn't see them. Lead her into the city or pull her into the city.

Under normal circumstances, such men and women will attract their attention, so as long as they appear in the city, there must be beggars who have seen them. Since no beggars have seen them, it means that they disappeared outside the city.

This is troublesome.

The outside of the city is not their territory, the world is so big, and it is more difficult for them to find two people than to find a needle in a haystack.

Thinking of Jiang Ning's politeness and respect for her, the old beggar felt that she could not live up to her expectations, so he began to divide the work. Half of the people stayed in the city and continued to inquire, while the other half started investigations from all directions.

At the same time, Jiang Ning was not idle.

After separating from Fu Changqing and Wu Wen, Jiang Ning found a scholar who set up a stall selling paintings and asked her to help her paint portraits of her parents.

The scholar's painting skills are good, and just based on Jiang Ning's description, he can draw the charm of Jiang Ning's parents.

Jiang Ning took the portraits of his parents and ordered a hundred portraits with the scholar, asking him to draw them before tomorrow.

The scholar expressed embarrassment that he could not do it.

Jiang Ning: "Don't you know other people who are good at drawing? You can let them draw together."

Scholar: "I have a friend who is as good at painting as I am, but the two of us may not be able to draw a hundred portraits overnight."

Jiang Ning: "Then I can paint as much as I can. I will come to you to get the painting tomorrow. Can you finish the rest before dark?"

The scholar knew that Jiang Ning wanted so many portraits in order to find someone. Looking at Jiang Ning's one and a half-year-old child with two children, he felt pity in his heart and nodded to express that he would try his best.

Jiang Ning thanked the scholar, and asked the scholar to draw another copy of the first painting as a template, then made an appointment to pick up the painting tomorrow, paid a deposit to see if the weather was still early, and asked around with the portrait of his parents if anyone had seen it them?
When asked about a driver who rents cars for a living, the driver glanced at the portrait in Jiang Ning's hand and couldn't help but take a second look.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning quickly asked him to take a closer look, did he see the two people in the portrait?

The coachman looked carefully and asked, "Is this woman blind?"

Jiang Ning nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, have you seen the two people in the portrait? Where did you see it?"

Coachman: "I saw it in a bamboo forest two or three miles outside the city, but the person who was with her at that time was not the man in the portrait, but an old woman."

Jiang Ning's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, and he immediately took out a piece of silver and said: "I rented your car, please take me to that bamboo forest, and tell me the specific situation by the way."

The coachman's attitude immediately became attentive: "Yesterday, I took a business order to send someone to Lihua Village. When I passed the bamboo forest on the way back after sending the person back, I saw a young woman supporting an old woman. While walking, I stopped and asked them if they wanted to use a carriage? As a result, the old woman immediately pulled the young woman back and looked at me warily."

"That is to say, the old woman led the young woman back a step, so I realized that it was not the young woman who was supporting the old woman, but the young woman who could not see and was pulling the old woman."

"Because I'm not very friendly, the first reaction of many women and children when they see me is to be wary, so when I saw the old woman's face full of wariness, I left without thinking too much, by the way Girl, who are you with the man and woman in this portrait?"

Jiang Ning: "The men and women in this portrait are my parents. My mother fell to the back of her head the day before yesterday. When she woke up, she found that she couldn't see. My father was going to take my mother to see a doctor in the city yesterday, but he didn't see him at night." When I went home, I was a little worried, and today I took my younger siblings into the city to look for them, only to find out that they were missing."

The driver snorted, "...so that old lady I saw yesterday might be a bad person?"

Thinking of the bad guy slipping right under his nose, the coachman couldn't help but patted himself on the head annoyed.

If he had asked a few more questions at that time, he might have seen the problem.

Jiang Ning regrets it very much now. When her father said that she would go to the city to see a doctor, she should not have suggested that her father take her mother to the city to see a doctor.

If her father went to the city alone to ask for a doctor, maybe nothing happened.

When approaching the bamboo forest, Jiang Ning asked the coachman to get out of the car and lead the horse to walk slowly, while he sat on the front of the car and looked towards the side of the road, hoping to see some clues.

Probably because of God's pity, Jiang Ning found traces of the slope on the side of the road less than 50 meters out of the bamboo forest.

Ask the driver to stop, and Jiang Ning gets out of the car to observe.

The coachman also followed Jiang Ning to observe: "This mark, it seems that someone slipped and fell down."

Jiang Ning nodded: "Most people will not fall on such a wide road, unless there is something wrong with their eyes."

So the person who fell was probably her mother.

Maybe her mother realized something was wrong and wanted to escape, but she fell because she couldn't see.

Fortunately, this slope is not too big.

Jiang Ning went downhill along the trace, saw some blood on a big rock, and also found an earring behind the rock.

This earring is her mother's earring.

It's confirmed that the person who fell was her mother, and her mother was injured again.

Jiang Ning climbed up the slope with the earrings in hand, and asked the driver if he was familiar with the neighborhood?
Since the old woman was leading her mother away, it is very likely that she lives nearby.

The coachman: "The nearest place here is Lihua Village. I have a familiar customer in Lihua Village, the one I sent yesterday. How about I take you there to ask?"

Jiang Ning nodded in agreement.

The coachman drove the carriage to Lihua Village, just as the client he knew was at home. The client was a little surprised to see him.

The driver asked the customer if there was an old woman with a kind face and big feet nearby?
Out of professional habits, although the coachman had only met the old woman once, he discovered the most unique feature of the old woman-the extremely big feet.

The customer wondered why he came to listen to such a person?

The coachman pointed to Jiang Ning and said that he was asking for her.

Jiang Ning immediately put on an innocent expression and looked at the customer, saying that she was looking for relatives, but she had never seen her before. She just heard from her grandmother that they were from Lihua Village, and her feet were taller than men of the same age since she was a child. Big, as for the last name, she couldn't remember it.

The coachman also added at this time that he happened to see such a person yesterday, and happened to hear that Jiang Ning was asking someone how to get to Lihua Village, so he brought her here.
