Chapter 324 Missing
"Dad, I went to collect herbs." A young man in short brown clothes carried a basket on his back and shouted to a middle-aged man in a crimson robe.
Hearing the shout, the middle-aged man came over, looked at the young man with concern and said, "Have you brought everything?"
"I've brought everything together. I'm only going to stay on the mountain for three or two days this time, so don't worry." The young man said helplessly.
"You brat." The middle-aged man laughed and scolded, then patted the young man on the shoulder with a sigh and said: "Go early and come back early. I will let you study at Xianggong Li later. You will definitely marry a beautiful wife in the future."
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the young man sighed helplessly, that is, his father gave some medicinal materials and seeds to Mr. Li, so that some medicinal materials in the pharmacy were not available, otherwise why would he go up the mountain to collect herbs.
But he was also extremely happy. After all, if he had studied with Mr. Li, he would have been better able to find a wife.
He didn't really want to find a wife, but he knew that this was what his parents had always wanted.
At this time, the father and son talking were none other than Zhang Jingcheng and Zhang Shaocong.
Then, Zhang Shaocong said goodbye to his father, left the city, walked along the official road for a while, then walked onto a path, entered the mountains, and disappeared.
Five days later, Li Si was printing books in his room. There were pages of paper beside him. Xiao Duan was sorting the papers, while Qi Sanniang was sitting on the bed, sewing books with needle and thread.
At this time, a burst of footsteps came from the distance.
Li Si heard the footsteps, stretched out his hand, and put Xiao Duan and Qi Sanniang away.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Then, there was a knock on the door, and at the same time, Luo Ye's anxious voice came: "Ms. Li, something happened."
When he heard Luo Ye's words, Li Si was slightly startled. He had only been back for a short time before something happened. His bad luck hadn't passed yet?
"Come in." He packed his things and shouted outside.
"How many times..."
The door was pushed open, and Luo Ye walked in anxiously.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Li Si looked at Luo Ye and asked.
"Ms. Li, Zhang Shaocong is missing!"
"Zhang Shaocong?" Li Si thought for a moment and then remembered that Zhang Shaocong was Zhang Jingcheng's son, and he got the seeds he got some time ago from Zhang Jingcheng.
"How did he disappear?" he asked Xiang Luo Ye.
"Zhang Shaocong went out to collect medicine some time ago. It has been five days and there is still no trace. Doctor Zhang went to report the case, and the government office also searched around, but couldn't find it." Luo Ye sighed and said in a low voice.
Hearing Luo Ye's words, Li Si didn't know what to say. Finally, he sighed in his heart, this world is like this, life and death are always unpredictable. When he went up the mountain to collect the body of "Cao Qing", he encountered the problem of collecting herbs. people.
Although the three herb collectors were not considered good people, what the herb collector said at the time should be true. Herb collecting itself was a hard job, and falling off the cliff was a common occurrence.
If he guessed correctly, then Zhang Shaocong would most likely end up with the same fate.
Then he looked at Luo Ye and continued to ask: "Where did Zhang Shaocong disappear?"
Li Si thought in his heart that Zhang Jingcheng also had a certain kindness to him, and maybe he could bring Zhang Shaocong's body back.
"It's near Dashi Village." Luo Ye replied.
Li Si frowned when he heard Luo Ye's words. During this time, he sorted out the information about Qi Sanniang and Fu Yuan, and had some impressions of this Dashi Village.
This village was exactly the one whose land was taken away by Qi Sanniang, and he also learned from Fu Yuan that the land in Dashi Village had never been taken over.
This is also because the Yin Division has been adjusting things in Fengmen County and Jingning County before, and the Yin Division has never paid much attention to this small place, so it gradually forgot about the village.
In fact, the land in Dashi Village is barren, the population is sparse, and it is located in a remote mountainous area. As a result, no ghosts in the Yin Division have applied to work there. Otherwise, there would still be many ghosts willing to take the land position.
And in such a place that is not protected by the underworld, one thing will happen, that is, evil spirits will peek into this place.
If you are more intelligent, you may be afraid of Yinsi and dare not take action.
However, those things that have just become evil spirits and ghosts do not know the existence of the underworld, so they do not have so many scruples.
Therefore, Zhang Shaocong's disappearance was most likely related to evil spirits and ghosts, but it was a normal disappearance.
"Hey..." Luo Ye sighed at this time and said, "With this Shaocong gone, it will be difficult for Dr. Zhang and his wife to live in the future."
Hearing what Luo Ye said, Li Si felt a little helpless. Luo Ye said this because he was probably trying to get him to find Zhang Shaocong.
But having said that, Zhang Jingcheng and his wife are just one person. If something happens, it will be difficult for them to survive.
"Don't worry. I'm going to take a trip recently. You have also pretended to have these books before. Print more for me. The more the better." Li Si glanced at Luo Ye and shook his head.
Hearing what Li Si said, Luo Ye's worried expression immediately eased. Now that Mr. Li has stepped in, things will be much easier to handle.
In fact, he didn't want to bother Li Si, because he also knew that his Xianggong Li had been living in seclusion for some reason recently, and he didn't want to break Li Si's environment.
But Luo Ye had met the yamen's police officers before, and he learned from them that although these police officers said they were searching, they actually just walked back and forth on the official road and came back to say they didn't find anything.
In this way, how could they find Zhang Shaocong?
Therefore, Luo Ye set his sights on Li Si. After all, he knew Li Si's abilities. If there was anyone in Fengmen County who was most likely to find Zhang Shaocong, it would be Li Si.
Of course, this is also because Zhang Jingcheng and Li Si have always been involved.
After all, Li Si had been treated by Zhang Jingcheng twice, and there were problems with the medicine before, so he had to talk to Li Si about this matter.
"Just tell me this kind of thing directly from now on, no need to beat around the bush." Li Si said helplessly to Luo Ye.
Hearing what Li Si said, Luo Ye was slightly startled, then nodded.
At this time, he also suddenly realized that he was Mr. Li's butler. Since he was the butler, he would report such matters directly in the future and let Li Si make the decision. He could just do his part.
"You go out, I'm going to unpack something." Li Si said to Luo Ye.
Hearing what Li Si said, Luo Ye responded and went out.
After waiting for Luo Ye to go out, Li Si sighed softly. It was really not suitable for him to go out now, because the wandering gods outside had never given up looking for him.
But he had to go. After all, he owed Zhang Jingcheng several favors. If Zhang Shaocong died because he didn't go, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
It's just a matter of finding a reason to go out.
Li Si's eyes showed a thoughtful look.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and at the same time, the sound of Cao Meng and Shu Min's conversation was heard.
Hearing this voice, he knew in his heart that it was Cao Meng and Shu Min who were coming.
He teaches the two some martial arts at this time every day, and now is the time to learn.
But thinking of Cao Meng and Shu Min, Li Si's heart moved and he laughed. He had an excuse to go out.
