Chapter 185 Vanished Without a Trace
Chapter 185 Vanished Without a Trace
"No... However, when that person was covering the patriarch, the patriarch looked very weak."
"They're all dressed as men. Could it be that they kidnapped the patriarch to exchange him for money?"
However, an hour has passed and we have not received a letter demanding money.
You just said the head of the family looks like what?
Weak?
The head of the family may appear slender, but he is actually quite tall.
That person must be very tall!
"Yes! He's unusually tall!"
"Okay, let's go ask around the crowd first and see if anyone has seen a tall person!"
The group then split up, searching in pairs.
Late at night, everyone returned home with sighs, and they sat together in a circle.
Yuan Su wrote down what Qing Xue had said and pondered it carefully.
The free clinic and porridge distribution were suspended the next day, and everyone went around asking around.
I searched all over the city and its outskirts, but still came up empty-handed.
When Huaisheng woke up, he was awakened by pain; his lower body was extremely sore.
Then consciousness gradually returned, but I felt weak all over, as if I had been abused.
When the eyes focus, what comes into view is a fierce and rude big face.
Huai Sheng was being held by the waist with this person's huge hand, straddling his waist.
His lower body was completely naked, and the pain in his lower body told Huaisheng:
I was violated!
Seeing that Huai Sheng had woken up, the giant's other hand, which had been roaming freely over Huai Sheng's breasts, did not stop, his eyes filled with smugness and possessiveness.
"Beautiful lady~"
No! Divine Doctor Mu~
Mu Huaisheng? Do you still remember this handsome man?
The pain all over his body, the ongoing humiliation, and the shame and anger in his heart all came at once!
In an instant, the giant before his eyes overlapped with the giant he remembered from many years ago before he fell into a coma.
"Shuwu..."
Huai Sheng could barely make a sound.
Shu Wu, with his enormous hand holding the ant-waist, cupped the beauty's neck and brought her full lips to him.
"The fact that Doctor Mu made a sound makes this general even more excited!"
After saying that, he greedily sucked on the beauty's full lips.
An overwhelming feeling of nausea washed over him, and Huai Sheng felt as if he had regained some strength.
He reached out and tried to gouge out the giant's eyes, but Shuwu quickly freed his hands and pinned Huaisheng's hands behind the ant's waist.
Several red marks immediately appeared on Shu Wu's cheeks.
Huai Sheng immediately bit down hard, drawing blood from the tongue that was lodged in his mouth, wishing he had the strength to bite it off.
Shu Wu, in pain, released Huai Sheng's full lips and licked her face with his bloodied tongue.
Huai Sheng spat the last of his saliva at him, and Shu Wu chuckled as he wiped it away.
Looking around, I realized I was inside a carriage, which had a heater burning inside.
As the carriage jolted along, Shuwu felt like he was dying, while Huaisheng felt like he was dying.
"It's these eyes!"
"I've been searching for so many years, and there have been many pipa players more beautiful than you, but none of them have the right eye!"
"You beast! Bah!"
Huai Sheng's throat was dry and sore, his whole body was numb, he couldn't shed tears, and he couldn't speak.
I don't know how much time passed, but I felt the carriage stop, and someone outside the carriage spoke in the Tartar dialect.
Shu Wu finally managed to pull Huai Sheng off his body.
They tied her hands behind her back with rope, stuffed cotton cloth into her mouth and tied it up with strips of cloth, and bound her legs as well.
She was simply wrapped in a cloak and her head was covered with a hat.
Still feeling uneasy, I used a sleeping potion to knock her unconscious and carried her down to the inn for dinner.
After that, Huai Sheng was never allowed to wake up. She was only fed liquid foods such as soup and milk when she was dazed.
When Qianyan received the message by carrier pigeon, she was frantic. She immediately set off on horseback, traveling day and night without sleep, changing horses only at post stations.
They arrived in Yuanxi County from Yedu in four days, five days after Huaisheng's disappearance.
As soon as Qianyan arrived, the frantic crowd immediately found their pillar of support.
Qingxue recounted the whole story in detail.
Upon hearing the description, a sense of foreboding filled Qianyan's entire body:
"It must be him, Shuwu!"
His towering figure, coupled with the fact that someone as beautiful as Qingxue was left behind, suggests that his only purpose was to pursue Huaisheng.
But how could that beast know that the woman back then was Huai Sheng?
Ask the refugees at the city gate again if they know of any particularly large carriages!
Everyone responded and went out to investigate.
Qian Yan was extremely anxious and had been running around day and night. She knew in her heart that it was most likely Shu Wu.
Not knowing how Huai Sheng would be tortured, he suddenly felt a metallic taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Qingchen's young apprentice was terrified. Qianyan picked up her pen and wrote herself a prescription, then asked the child to decoct the medicine.
The child nervously went out to fetch and prepare the medicine, muttering to himself:
"Huaisheng! No matter what, don't give up on yourself, wait for me!"
You absolutely must wait for me!
In the afternoon, Qingchen and his wife, along with Uncle Xiao Mo, returned first.
“Master, an old man I treated outside the city said that…”
On the day the patriarch disappeared, around the same time he disappeared, I saw a large carriage heading west along the official road outside the west gate.
There was a coachman, and four fierce-looking men on horseback beside the carriage. They didn't look like people from Daliang.
Everyone was amazed, wondering how such a large carriage could exist.
"Master, before you disappeared, some inns in the city said they had seen this carriage and these people."
"But we don't want the innkeepers to touch the carriage; we don't know if there's anyone inside."
"Uncle Mo, Mu Xu, who do you think would want to kidnap Huai Sheng and need such a large carriage?"
He asked in a shallow, pained tone, as if talking to himself.
"Could it be! The Tartar king Juwu!"
After a moment, Mu Xu exclaimed in surprise.
"We've called them all back; so many days have passed."
At that beast's speed, he should have already reached the border.
In the evening, everyone returned.
Now that you know Huaisheng has been kidnapped by Shuwu, you should return to Yedu first.
I will go to Qingxi County with Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu to discuss this further.
"I won't go back!"
Everyone said in unison.
“Master, send a letter to those who are busy elsewhere, and tell them to go back and protect the Mu family.”
We will follow you to rescue the master of the household. If the master cannot be rescued in a day, we will stay for another day.
If... ... Pshaw!
Anyway, if the head of the family doesn't reply, I won't reply either!
"Me too!"
After Yuan Su finished speaking, everyone said in unison.
“Alright, Uncle Wu, Aunt Wu, Qingxue, and Rong'an will come with me to Qingxi County.”
Qingchen Muxu, you, along with Uncle Xiaomo and Yuansu, take Guard Ge to Yuri Pass.
Go over there to find General Li Rongchuan and General Yan Ran. I will send you a letter with me.
Granny Han, Aunt Wang, take Qingchen's little apprentices back with you.
Everyone, get some rest. We'll set off early tomorrow morning.
Suddenly, one of the apprentice children started crying:
"Master~ The patriarch vomited blood right after you left during the day!"
Everyone was startled when they heard this, and Qingchen quickly stepped forward to take his pulse.
"I was so angry that I vomited blood and felt better."
Don't forget, I also know a little about medicine.
He casually extended his hand, but Qingchen still took his pulse to make sure he was safe.
Qingchen took his pulse, breathed a sigh of relief, and said:
"The patriarch has been working without sleep for several days and has lost some of his vitality."
The vomiting of blood was indeed due to a sudden surge of anger and anxiety; the head of the family had already prescribed medicine for himself.
Don't worry, everyone. Go and rest, and let the master of the house rest too.
The patriarch is still waiting for us!
