The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 381 Finding Someone (1)
"Hurry up, everyone in the town is sick and dying. If you run away, who else are you looking for? Cough cough..." After the old man finished speaking, he coughed continuously. Cough it all out.

Facing the morning sun, there was a sound of horseshoes, and Shen Xuan and his party stopped at the entrance of a village.

"Master, Shanshu Village is ahead." An'er turned his head and reported to Shen Xuan.

Yesterday they entered Longfeng Town, and in the inn they met the old man who hadn't left this place, Old Man Yu.With the help of the old man, they finally found out about Shen Chaoxia in the town.It turned out that Shen Chaoxia and a woman came to Shanshu Village along with a few people infected with wind and cold.Not so early in the morning, Shen Xuan and the others came here.

"All dismount, let's walk in." Shen Xuan looked at the nearby mountain village and ordered.Thinking of seeing her second brother soon, Shen Xuan was very excited.

"Yes." The five replied in unison.

Six well-dressed men with tall horses walked into Shanshu Village, and immediately attracted the eyes of the villagers. Everyone watched them discussing in low voices and pointed at them.

Shen Xuan gave Yun Shu and Li Luo a look and asked them to ask.After receiving Shen Xuan's order, Yun Shu and Li Luo took out the sketch of Shen Chaoxia drawn by Shen Xuan from their sleeves, and took a few steps forward to hope for the villagers.

"Sister-in-law, have you seen the person in this painting?" Yun Shu held the portrait and asked a person dressed as a peasant woman.

Hearing Yun Shu's question.Seeing the portrait in Yun Shu's hand, the villagers realized that they were here looking for someone, and they relaxed a lot, and surrounded him enthusiastically.Identify whether the person on the painting has seen it.

"This, this is not." After seeing clearly the face on the painting, the sister-in-law said hesitantly with her finger portrait.

The villagers gathered together fell silent after seeing the portrait clearly, and looked at Shen Xuan and his party with evasive eyes.Some timid ones hurried home while people were not paying attention.

"Woman!" Before the sister-in-law could finish speaking, she was stopped by a male voice scolding.As soon as the voice fell, a peasant man came out from the crowd. The man walked up to the sister-in-law and continued to yell, "You haven't taken today's medicine, have you? You've been talking nonsense all day long!"

Before the sister-in-law could speak, the man turned his head and explained to Yun Shu and the others, "I'm sorry, everyone, my mother-in-law has some brain problems, and no one in our village has ever seen the person in your painting. "

"Brother, take a good look. We have inquired in the town. They said that this person returned to the village with the villagers in your village and promised to treat your villagers." Yun Shu continued to ask, what about the villagers? She could see the evasive look, if it was said that these people had never seen Shen Chaoxia, she would not believe it.

Hearing Yun Shu's question, the man immediately became angry, and said in a bad tone, "I said I haven't seen it before, so hurry up." After speaking, he dragged the sister-in-law away.

Seeing the man's behavior, the others also gave up, and hurried back home, as if Shen Xuan and the others were man-eating beasts.In less than a stick of incense, only Shen Xuan and a few people were left around.

"Master, this? They?" Yun Shu thought about the reactions of the villagers, walked up to Shen Xuan, and asked aloud.

Shen Xuan was silent for a few breaths, thinking.Recalling the reaction of those villagers when they saw the portrait just now, Shen Xuan was sure that those people had seen Shen Chaoxia, but she couldn't be sure why these people didn't tell them, and she was also full of confusion.

"You guys go ask again and give me some money." Shen Xuan turned her head and told them.

"Yes." Several people answered, leaving Li Luo to accompany Shen Xuan, and the others quickly dispersed in the village.

In about [-] minutes, several people came back. From their expressions, one could guess that they all failed and did not find any useful information.

"How is it?" Shen Xuan asked even though she had guessed in her heart.

Several people shook their heads unanimously, especially the two dark guards who were following behind An Er. No. 17 and No. 18, their heads were almost lowered to the ground. They didn't complete the task given by their master. It's understandable.Several people felt a little complicated. It was the first time they saw villagers who gave money and didn't want it!
Seeing the faces of several people, Shen Xuan didn't say much, neither reprimanded nor explained.Shen Xuan heard the sound, saw several villagers opened the door a crack, and looked at them with evasive eyes.

"Let's go, leave here first." Shen Xuan knew that there was nothing to find out for the time being, so she turned her head and ordered to several people.

Seeing Shen Xuan and his party leaving.After walking away, the villagers opened the gate.Several people who seemed to have a relatively high status in the village gathered together to discuss.

Over there, Shen Xuan and the others stopped when they left the village, and sat casually on the grass.

"Tell me, what have you all found out, is there no useful information at all?" Shen Xuan asked several people.

"The adults said they didn't know the family the servant inquired about. After the servant took out the money, the woman wanted to speak, but she held back." Yun Shu replied.

"The family I belonged to just heard them discussing the affairs of the village in a low voice. They seemed to mention that two families in their village were burned to death. After they saw their subordinates, they kept silent. Just open your mouth, and they immediately kicked out the subordinates." An Er replied.

"When my subordinate came back, I saw traces of a fire in the village." The dark guard No. 17 replied.

"The family I belonged to had only one old woman, and that old woman couldn't hear the subordinate's question clearly." The dark guard No. 18 replied, and lowered his head after speaking, he was the most sad one.

Hearing the answer of the eighteenth dark guard, several people laughed unkindly. They could imagine the funny situation at that time.

"Okay, it's almost noon, let's go back to the inn in the town first. The three of you are coming over at night. You can't do anything during the day, but you can use some means at night." Shen Xuan faced An Er.Dark NO.17 and Dark NO.18 opened their mouths and gave orders.

The six of them went back to the inn and had a simple lunch. Because the green vegetables caused by the epidemic were rare, they could eat some dry food.The six of them didn't go out in the afternoon, so they sat in the inn and waited.

"Master, did those people really get the disease?" Li Luo asked the question in her heart.

Yesterday they heard the old man Yu in the inn talk about the death of the people in the town.When they fled, a layer of cold sweat broke out on their backs.If this is really a disease, didn't the people in the town take the disease out?
"Don't worry, what those people got wasn't an epidemic at all, and the more serious ones were just aggravated wind and cold. I don't know how these people spread it, but they actually said it was an epidemic." Shen Xuan put down the teacup in her hand and answered aloud.
