61 Buying Cattle

After moving into the new house, there was good news from Uncle Ox. There was a new batch of cattle in the ox market, and there were healthy breeds there.

Hearing this, Jian Qingqing immediately rushed to the ox market with Uncle Ox.

A small manager in the ox market was familiar with Uncle Ox. When they went there, Manager Zhang immediately took them to see the cattle.

“There are many people watching this cattle. Those landlords all want it, but they can’t bear to spend so much money. Oh, rich people like to ask for a lot of discounts on them. They don’t want to spend a penny more, but they are very generous with other things. I heard that Master Huang and Master Ding’s sons fought in Red Garden for a girl, and in the end, Master Huang spent a lot of money to win the heart of a beauty…”

!!

Jian Qingqing listened to Manager Zhang ramble on about the gossip of these rich people. When she sold the braised meat, she realized that although Shifeng County had suffered a serious disaster. This drought did not seem to have any effect on the rich people. Instead, they had become even richer, the ones who suffered and lost their families were only the ordinary people at the bottom.

They were all a group of profiteers and capitalists who preyed on the less fortunate.

“Oh right, Young Lady, if you decide to buy it, hurry up and pay the money to lead the oxen away. Otherwise, if those big landlords find out, I’m afraid there will be trouble.”

“Okay.”

There were twenty oxen in this batch of oxen in the ox market. There were three high-grade oxen, and all three of them were very well-built. Uncle Ox and Manager Zhang recommended buying the largest one, as it had great strength and could do heavy work.

Jian Qingqing, on the other hand, had her eyes set on the middle-grade one. She felt that the largest one had a rather big temper, and the middle-grade one was the most docile. It would not lose its temper even if it was being prodded by other oxen. She was going to drive the ox cart to the county town every day. If its temper was too big and difficult to control, she did not dare to use it.

Uncle Ox pried open its teeth and looked at it carefully. He patted its back and finally said, “This one will do as well. They are all high-grade oxen. However, this one is a cow, so it might not have the strength to do the work.”

Jian Qingqing felt that it did not matter if it was a male or a female. The most important thing was to get along with them.

“It doesn’t matter. It’s fine if it’s a cow. In the future, when I buy a bull, I can have a baby. Then I’ll make a profit.”

Uncle Ox choked up. It was already the highest that an ordinary family could buy a cow. Who would buy two oxen for no reason? Only Jian Qingqing made a lot of money and was rich. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He waved his hand and said, “Buy it, buy it.”

“Hehe.”

Jian Qingqing paid nine taels of silver. She registered the cow and was about to leave.

However, at this moment, an accident happened.

A group of people walked towards them. On the left was a man wearing a butler’s uniform. He was nodding and bowing to the man in the middle.

“Butler Wang, the three high-quality cattle are all here. They are all good cattle. If you want all of them, you can give me a discount of two taels of silver.”

The man in the middle, who was Butler Wang, raised his head high and looked very arrogant.

Jian Qingqing accidentally bumped into them. She led the cattle to the side and wanted to wait for them to go over.

However, the manager of the ox market still saw her. He frowned and scolded, “Who are you? Why are you holding a high-grade cow!”

Jian Qingqing frowned and suppressed her dissatisfaction. “This is already my cow. I spent money to buy it.”

When he heard this, not only did the manager not let her go, he was even more aggressive. “Who sold it to you? How can you buy this cow? You poor country bumpkins have the nerve to buy a high-grade cow?”

Jian Qingqing was furious. If she had not paid the money, she might have let the cow go. She could have bought something else. After all, she did not have any background, so she did not need to fight with these people over a cow. However, the cow was now hers, and this manager’s attitude was really annoying.

She sneered, “Then who are you? With such big words, could it be that you are a relative of the royal family? But that’s strange, which royal relative would bow down to a butler? I’m afraid you are also a poor country bumpkin!”

“You!” The steward was extremely angry.

“What a sharp-tongued girl!” Butler Wang said with a strange tone, “Do you know who I am? I am the butler of the Huang Residence. Be sensible and leave the cow behind. Otherwise, if you offend our Huang Residence, you will not be able to bear the consequences!”

Jian Qingqing also imitated his sarcastic tone. “Oh, so it is the Huang Residence. Is it the emperor’s in-laws? However, with such a rich and noble identity, why would you fight with me for a cow? I am afraid that you have gone mad from poverty, right?”

Butler Wang was furious. “Men, take this wretched girl down for me!”

Jian Qingqing was not afraid of him. She reached into her pocket and took out a dagger from the Spatial Kitchen. “Come on! Let’s see who dies faster today!” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The servants who had followed Butler Wang were all unarmed. Seeing her take out her weapon, they were afraid to step forward.

Butler Wang was exasperated. “There are so many of you! What are you afraid of! Hurry up and catch her!”

At this moment, Manager Zhang and Uncle Ox, who had been chatting in the backyard, hurried over.

“Butler Wang, I sold this cow to her. If you want the cow, please allow me to take it back for you!”

“Yes, Master Wang. This girl is my granddaughter. She’s not sensible. Please don’t lower yourself to her level. We’ll give this cow to you.”

The Huang Family was a big family in Shifeng County. They were all commoners without power and influence. They could not win against others, so they could only give up money to survive.

Jian Qingqing could not bear to see them bow and scrape like this. Seeing that they were forced to bow to such a despicable person because of her, she was so angry that her eyes were red. She went forward and pulled them to the side.

Uncle Ox and Manager Zhang could not dissuade her, so they could only follow her strength and stand up.

The butler who followed behind Butler Wang had never been on good terms with Manager Zhang. It was rare to see him so humble, they could not help but laugh strangely. “Oh, Manager Zhang, this really tells us one thing. Never make friends with poor country bumpkins. Those people have cheap lives and are easy to offend. They don’t even know when they get themselves in trouble!”

Jian Qingqing could not be bothered with such a villain. She glared fiercely at Butler Wang. She said coldly, “I will never let you have my cow. If you dare to snatch it, try it. Your Huang family doesn’t authority in Shifeng County. If you dare to snatch it, I dare to report it to the officials. Let’s see if the County Magistrate is on your side or mine!”

After saying that, she pulled Uncle Ox and led him away.

Butler Wang and the others were stunned by her words. They did not dare to stop her for a moment and just let her go.

If it was the previous county magistrate, Butler Wang would definitely snatch it. Even if he killed this little girl, nothing would happen. But now, Shifeng County was clearly aware that County Magistrate Ming was ruthless. He had killed the largest scholar clan in Shifeng County to establish his authority, if he committed a crime in his hands, he would definitely not be let off lightly.

In a flustered mood, he kicked the lackey butler and said sinisterly, “Go, find out what identity that little girl has!”

The butler suppressed the resentment in his heart and said meekly, “Yes.”

After leaving the cattle market, Jian Qingqing and the others continued to walk further. They only stopped when they walked out of this street.

Manger Zhang shook his head and disagreed, “Miss Jian, you were too impulsive just now. The Huang family is a big force in Shifeng County. They will not let you off.”

63 Reporting to the Authorities

Jian Qingqing nodded. “I know, Uncle Zhang, but it’s not that they will let me go if I give in. People like them never take human lives seriously. If I don’t do anything, they will find fault with me. And I’m not blindly impulsive. The new County Magistrate is an extremely decent person. He won’t ignore these matters. I’m sorry, Uncle Zhang. I’ve implicated you.”

Manager Zhang sighed. “Sigh, it’s good that you know what to do. I’m fine. I’m from Bull City. A small butler like him can’t do anything to me. Then I’ll leave first. You have to take care of your own safety.”

Jian Qingqing nodded obediently. “Okay, goodbye, Uncle Zhang.”

After watching Manager Zhang leave, Jian Qingqing was silent for a moment. She said to Uncle Ox, who was worried about her, “Uncle, please find a food stall and wait for me. I’ll go to the county office to look for the officials.”

Uncle Ox looked at her worriedly. “Is that okay? Aren’t those bailiffs in cahoots with those landlords?”

He had never seen any bailiffs who would care about these things. Many commoners were unwilling to look for bailiffs even if they had nowhere else to go. Sometimes, if they did not look for bailiffs, there was still a way to survive. If they looked for bailiffs, there would be nothing left. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Jian Qingqing comforted him. “The situation now is different from before. This County Magistrate is a good person. I know him. He will help me.”

Although Uncle Ox did not know how she knew a County Magistrate, he was still relieved. “That’s fine. I will wait for you at the tea shop in front. I will take good care of your cow. Don’t worry.”

“Thank you, Uncle.”

…

When Jian Qingqing arrived at the county office, the officer on duty at the door recognized her.

One of them went in to report, and the other went up to greet her with a smile. “Miss Jian, why are you here?”

Jian Qingqing smiled and said, “I’m here to report to the officials.”

The official was stunned for a moment and then said, “Oh, oh. Then, then you come with me.”

The official led the way in front and was amazed. This Miss Jian was really different from ordinary people. Other people would only hide from the officials, but she came to report to the officials if she had something to do.

He brought Jian Qingqing to the office of the County Magistrate, Ming Zhiyan was already waiting there.

Seeing that she had arrived, he looked up at her, stood up, and said, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

Jian Qingqing told him everything that had happened in the cattle market.

Ming Zhiyan did not have any expression after listening to her, it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. He pondered for a moment and said, “Don’t worry. I will take care of this matter. I won’t let anything happen to you.”

Jian Qingqing knew that she could rest assured of his character. The corners of her mouth curled up into a brilliant smile. “Thank you. Sorry for the trouble.”

Ming Zhiyan replied, “Mm, it’s fine. This is what I should do.”

After saying this, Jian Qingqing also felt relieved. She left the county office and returned home.

After Jian Qingqing left, Ming Zhiyan’s face darkened. He said coldly, “Move faster. The Huang family must die tomorrow!”

Wang Li replied firmly, “Yes!”

The Huang family was the family of a concubine of Prefect Song. Song Yuancheng’s ordinary wealth was managed by the Huang family. They were also acting arrogantly in Shifeng County.

Not a single member of their family was clean. Ming Zhiyan planned to get rid of them on the first day he came here and cut off one of Song Yuancheng’s arms. They had done enough to lay the groundwork. The Huang family was going to be destroyed sooner or later.

However, they had made a move on Jian Qingqing, they had only sped up their death.

Wang Li knew that his Master was very concerned about Jian Qingqing. However, she had saved his Master’s life before, so Wang Li was also very concerned about Jian Qingqing.

64 A Feast for the Cattle

Jian Qingqing led the cattle home and caused a commotion among the villagers. Cattle held a very high and sacred status in the hearts of the farmers. No one in Jian village had ever raised cattle before. Not only did Jian Qingqing’s family build a large brick house, but they also bought cattle, it seemed that they had really made a fortune.

However, this time, no one was envious. They were all happy for them because Jian Qingqing had taught them about the Dendrobium. That thing had made them a huge profit.

Jian Qingqing’s cow had just arrived home when wave after wave of villagers came. Everyone wanted to take a look and touch it. There was even someone who proposed to hold a banquet for the cow, winning the approval of the villagers.

Jian Qingqing was speechless. “This… There’s no need for that.”

The person who suggested pushed her away. “What do you know? I shouldn’t be discussing this with you anyway.”

Then, he said to Old Man Jian, “Uncle Zong Quan, what do you think? If we hold a banquet for the cow, it will be happy. If it is happy, it will work even harder.”

Old Man Jian was currently caressing the cow’s body. When he heard this, he pondered for a moment and said, “Alright. Big Sister, go and prepare. We will treat the villagers to a meal tomorrow. Be happy!”

Jian Qingqing sighed. “Alright.”

It was her first time seeing a banquet for the cow. However, when she thought about how there were people in modern times who invited relatives and friends for a meal after having a new car, the cow’s status in the hearts of these people was even higher than the car’s status among the modern people. With this in mind, she did not find it strange.

Jian Qingqing gloated at the main character of tomorrow’s banquet. This cow’s temper was really good. It did not lose its temper even after being touched by others. It stood there meekly and let others touch it.

Before the sky turned dark, Jian Qingqing put the cow on the cart and rushed to the county town to buy the dishes for tomorrow’s banquet.

The next day, Jian Qingqing woke up early to cook. She saw that the cow was being wrapped in red silk by Mother Jian. One of the silk was tied to the cow’s body and the other was tied to the cow’s head.

The cow stood there obediently as Mother Jian tied the silk on it. Jian Qingqing looked at it and found that it was quite humorous.

She shook her head and went into the kitchen to cook. Forget it, let them have their fun. The cow was bought for fun anyway.

Today’s banquet was much simpler than the previous one in the new house. However, everyone was still very happy. Everyone who came brought a basket of fodder. The main character of the banquet was wearing red silk and eating very happily. There was a circle of people watching it eat. If there were cameras in this era, she believed that everyone would take a photo with it and post it on social media.

After the banquet, she had to continue working hard. After all, one ox cost her nine taels of silver and another three taels of silver for the banquet.

Now that she had a pot and a mode of transport, Jian Qingqing decided to do a big job. She directly stewed 200 catties of stewed meat and sold it.

When she entered the county, she heard that the Huang family had been exiled.

Jian Qingqing listened carefully. It turned out that the matter of trafficking in human beings in Huang’s family had been exposed.

That person was the lady from Hong Yuan whom Master Huang had spent a lot of money on. She heard that just as this lady entered the door, she was beaten into the woodshed by Madam Huang.

That lady overheard the matter and felt resentful, so she reported it to the County Magistrate. The County Magistrate acted quickly, and all the men involved were locked up in prison, waiting to be executed. The elderly, the young, women, and children were exiled.

Jian Qingqing knew that this kind of family dirty business would not be rare, but she did not expect it to be such a disgusting thing. How many families would be destroyed by this? Even though Ming Zhiyan was fast, she did not know whether it was because she had found out about her trap early in the morning or because it had really been exposed at the last minute. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, Jian Qingqing was very happy that the hidden danger had been eliminated.

Jian Qingqing was not so busy after spring. Occasionally, Mother Jian would help her go to the stall, so she had some free time.

Usually, she would go learn to read from Xiao Hu and the others how to read. She had not learned many words yet.

Jian Qingqing realized that Xiao Ye was more talented than Xiao Hu when it came to reading. Every time Xiao Hu came back from school and was asked about what he had learned, he would scratch his ears and cheeks. “Teacher told me about it, but I just can’t remember it clearly.”

As for Xiao Ye, his memory was really good. He could remember everything that his teacher had said clearly. After all, Xiao Ye was only five years old, and Xiao Hu was three years older than him. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

!!

Therefore, Xiao Ye became Jian Qingqing’s little teacher, holding a book and shaking his head as he taught her. He was very proud.

The words and poems in this era were completely different from the era in her previous life. Jian Qingqing had a very hard time learning them. She could only follow the interpretation of the words taught by Xiao Ye and mark them in modern Chinese. She practiced them more than ten times a day, which reminded her of her ten years of studying in the modern world.

Alas, it was painful. She had graduated from university many years ago. Why did she have to study all over again?

She looked at Xiao Ye with envy. Why was his brain so good? He could recognize and write the words after see them once, even though they were still crooked.

Xiao Ye also did not understand why his sister was so stupid. She could not learn a word after teaching it many times, but he did not dare to say it out loud. He could only crouch in the corner and sigh silently.

Apart from learning to read, Jian Qingqing also remembered to take care of her treasures. She fertilized the crops and weeded them. The sweet potatoes had already grown many vines. She cut them off and planted them on the newly reclaimed sand.

The Jian Family was suspicious of this new crop. However, Jian Qingqing had earned quite a lot of money now. They did not need to rely on this little bit of land. Therefore, they did not care about Jian Qingqing planting these things.

One day, when Jian Rong came to the Jian Family’s house. Jian Qingqing was practicing her calligraphy. Xiao Ye stood by the side and stared at her. When she saw Jian Rong, her eyes lit up and she threw down her pen, she flew out happily and asked, “Xiao Rong, why are you here? Are you looking for us to go out and play?”

Jian Rong said awkwardly, “No… Sister Qingqing, I have something to ask you.”

Jian Qingqing was disappointed for a moment, then she asked, “Oh, tell me what it is.”

Jian Rong said embarrassedly, “It’s just… um…”

Jian Qingqing saw that he could not say anything for a long time, so she said with a smile, “Is there anything I can help you with? I will help you if I can.”

Jian Rong closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “Sister Qingqing, do you know where the county is recruiting workers? I can do anything!”

Jian Qingqing was stunned for a moment. Why did he have to look for her when he could find a job himself? Then she realized that he must have already looked, and they did not want him. So, he came to find her to see if she had any acquaintances who would help him.

Jian Qingqing thought for a moment. Jian Rong was a few months younger than her. He was only eight years old, so no one would want him as a worker. Although she went to the county every day, she really did not know many people. Although there were many wealthy customers, they would not talk about their own family matters. No one knew which family would want to hire a male servant.

Moreover, she was only the owner of a stall. They did not have much of a relationship with her, so she was in a difficult situation.

Suddenly, she had an idea.

If no one wanted to hire her, she could hire them!

She looked at Jian Rong with a sinister smile. “Xiao Rong, do you want to do business with me?”

66 Jian’s Braised Meat

“Ah?” Jian Rong looked at her in a daze. “What business?”

“Selling meat!”

Jian Rong was puzzled. “But aren’t you the one selling meat? Do you want me to sell it for you?”

“No, I want to franchise. I want to wholesale stewed meat. Then you can buy it from me and sell it in the county or other counties.”

Jian Rong did not understand what ‘franchise’ and ‘wholesale’ meant, but he understood the latter part of the explanation.

His eyes lit up. “Is that okay? Does that mean I can buy meat from you and sell it in other counties?”

Jian Qingqing nodded. “That’s right, that’s what I mean. But in order to let people know that I’m selling this stewed meat at a glance, and to make my stewed meat a brand that everyone knows, I want to make a… logo.”

She had wanted to say logo, however, it was difficult to explain what it was.

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. Jian Qingqing waved her arm and said, “Xiao Ye, write down our family name!”

Xiao Ye was helpless. He had already taught them their family name two days ago. At that time, his sister said that she already knew it. How could she forget it after only two days?

Xiao Ye had no choice but to grind the ink and write a tender ‘Jian’ character on the rough paper.

Jian Qingqing took out the Four Treasures of the Study that Ming Zhiyan had given her and used the good ink and paper inside to draw a vivid logo based on the ‘Jian’ character.

In her previous life, she studied art and worked in an art design company. She had designed logos for many companies, so she was very good at this.

The logo was transformed from ‘Jian’ into a large piece of braised meat. It was very fat and cute.

Jian Qingqing thought for a moment and drew a tiger and a wolf on top, one on the left and one on the right, with their mouths wide open, fighting for the piece of meat. Then, at the bottom, there was an endless prairie.

Just like that, a vivid and cute logo of the ‘Jian’s Braised Meat’ was done.

The three children looked at the drawing with their mouths wide open. They were amazed.

“Wow! Sister, you are so awesome!”

“Sister, your painting is really beautiful!”

Seeing Xiao Ye’s look of admiration, Jian Qingqing smiled smugly. “Now you know how amazing your sister is! Do you still dislike me in the future?”

He thought that she did not know, every time she asked a question, this kid would look at her as if she was an idiot.

Xiao ye chuckled embarrassedly. He thought that his sister did not know. “Sister, I won’t do it again in the future. You’re the best!”

Jian Rong asked curiously, “Sister Qingqing, what’s this for?”

“This will be the symbol of our Jian family’s stewed meat in the future. Later, I’ll paint this symbol on my big cloth. In the future, when we go out to the stalls, we’ll hang this cloth. This way, people will know that it’s our stewed meat with one look, and they won’t be afraid of being imitated.”

Jian Rong praised, “Sister Qingqing, you’re really smart!”

“Hehe.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The next day, Jian Qingqing sold 30 catties of stewed meat to Jian Rong so that he could bring it to the neighboring county to test the waters. She would give him a profit of 20 wen per catty of stewed meat, and the price of the stewed meat would be fixed.

At the same time, she also told this news to the villagers, but no one cared about her. Business was not that easy to do. No family had the spare money to wholesale. What if they could not sell it and wasted the meat? The meat was so expensive.

Jian Rong could do it because he was the only man in his family. In the future, he would be the breadwinner of the entire family. Therefore, his grandmother and mother listened to him very much. Previously, he had also earned a lot of money by selling mushrooms, honeysuckle, and Iron-skinned Dendrobium.

Now, many people in the village said that he was bold. He had put all his family’s assets into it. If he could not do it, it would be terrible.

Jian Rong and Jian Qingqing did not care about these words at all. There was no such thing as free business. The greater the risk, the greater the return.

The neighboring County of Shifeng County was Pushan County. The distance from Jian Family Village to Pushan County was about the same as going to Shifeng County, so Jian Rong pushed a small cart and walked there early in the morning.

When Jian Qingqing returned from the county, Jian Rong had already returned to the village.

Seeing her, Jian Rong ran over excitedly. “Sister Qingqing! This stewed meat is very popular in Pushan County!”

Jian Qingqing was happy for him. “Is that so? Tell me about the situation there.”

Jian Rong excitedly told her about his situation in Pushan County. “When I went there, I found a crowded market. When I lifted the lid, all those people gathered around. However, they only asked about the price and refused to buy it because they thought it was too expensive. Some people wanted to try it, but I refused. How expensive is this meat? I won’t let them eat it for free!”

“Sister Qingqing, do you know what I did in the end?” Jian Rong asked.

Jian Qingqing also asked curiously, “How did you do it?”

Jian Rong said exaggeratedly, “Didn’t I take three buns for lunch? They didn’t buy it, and I was hungry again, so I took out the bun and dipped it in the gravy. Sister Qingqing, your gravy is so delicious. I only dipped it in the gravy and had two buns in a row. Then I was so engrossed in it that when I looked up, all the people were staring at my bun. Some of them even drooled!” n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“Then, when I came up with the idea, I picked up a piece of braised meat and ate it happily. They couldn’t stand it anymore. They all paid me for the braised meat. None of them bargained with me!”

Jian Qingqing gave him a look of praise. She did not expect this kid to know how to broadcast his eating process! In her previous life, she often watched the live stream broadcast late at night and ordered a lot of things passionately. Watching other people eat really made created an appetite.

“Then you can take 50 catties to try it tomorrow. There should be more people buying it tomorrow.”

“Okay! Thank you, Sister Qingqing!”

…

Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye were in school at the Detian Academy. Jian Qingqing had to send them lunch every afternoon.

In summer, the weather was as hot as a stove. The moment one moved, one would be covered in sweat. It was so sticky that it was hard to bear.

Jian Qingqing stood under a big tree outside the academy, waiting for her brothers. The cicadas on the branches chirped non-stop.

She picked up a cicada molt and played with it in her hand. She vaguely remembered that this cicada molt seemed to be a medicinal herb. There were many children in the village, and no one watched them play frequently. If she found a task for them to do, she could earn some pocket money.

Yes, she could ask Wei Wusheng if he would accept this.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, no one came out. The other students had already finished their lunch and returned to the academy. What was going on?

Jian Qingqing glanced around and saw an acquaintance from a food stall. Her eyes lit up and she walked over.

“Student Sun, have you seen Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye?” Jian Qingqing asked with a smile.

This student was Xiao Hu’s classmate and was also a very good friend. He often ate with them, and Jian Qingqing had also sent him food a few times.

When Sun Shaoning saw Jian Qingqing, his eyes lit up. “Sister Qingqing, what delicious food did you make today? Xiao Hu? He came out long ago to wait for you. He came out earlier than me. Why? Didn’t you see them?”

Jian Qingqing frowned. “I’ve been waiting for them under that big tree for almost 15 minutes, but no one came out.”

Sun Shaoning put down his food and said, “Sister Qingqing, don’t worry. They might not have come out. I’ll go in and look for them.”

Jian Qingqing nodded. “Okay, sorry to trouble you.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. We’re all friends.”

68 Looking For Them

Jian Qingqing waited outside the door for quite a while before she saw Sun Shaoning walk out with a troubled expression.

She subconsciously felt that something was wrong and her heart panicked. She quickly went forward and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Sister Qingqing, I didn’t find them. I’ve asked my classmates. They haven’t seen Xiao Hu since they finished eating. Did they go out to eat?”

Jian Qingqing denied, “Impossible. If they went out to eat, they would have told me. They wouldn’t have disappeared for no reason. Something must have happened to them.”

Sun Shaoning comforted her, “It can’t be. They are already familiar with the county. Perhaps they forgot to tell you when they went home for some urgent matter.”

Jian Qingqing still felt very uneasy. Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye were both very sensible children. Xiao Hu was carefree and Xiao Ye was careful. They were not children who would make their families worry. They knew that she was waiting for them. They would definitely tell her wherever they went.

She said to Sun Shaoning, “Can you take me to see your teacher? I want to ask him some questions.”

Sun Shaoning hesitated for a moment, but still agreed, “Then you can follow me in.”

The guards of the academy saw that she was brought in by Sun Shaoning, so they did not stop her. They went all the way to the courtyard where the gentlemen were working.

The teacher who taught Xiao Hu and the others was an old gentleman with white hair, beard, and eyebrows. When he saw Sun Shaoning bring a woman in, he asked in surprise, “Shaoning, who is this lady?”

Jian Qingqing stepped forward and said anxiously, “Hello, Sir. I Am Jian Hu and Jian Ye’s sister. I have been waiting for them for a long time today, but I haven’t seen them. Student Sun also said that they haven’t seen them since class ended. I want to ask if there were any abnormalities in class today?”

Mr. Liang was shocked. Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye were both his students. Especially Xiao Ye, who was very smart. He had been specially trained in the academy, and now that he heard that they had disappeared, he was also very anxious.

He thought for a moment and said, “I didn’t see anything unusual in the class. Don’t be anxious. I’ll ask the people of the academy to look for them.”

Jian Qingqing said gratefully, “Thank you, Sir!”

Although the people of the academy helped her to look for them, she could not sit still and wait. She decided to report to the authorities. The missing child was at a crucial time within three hours. It would be much more difficult to find him after that time.

When the bailiff saw her, he subconsciously asked, “Miss Jian, are you reporting it to the officials again?”

Jian Qingqing nodded and quickly said, “My two younger brothers are missing. Can you send people to help me find them?” n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Hearing that the child was missing, the bailiff’s face turned cold and he said seriously, “Miss Jian, don’t worry. I will report it to the officials and send people to find them!”

“Thank you. My brothers are studying at Detian Academy. I waited outside the academy after school today and did not see them. Later, I asked his classmates and teacher, and they also had not seen them. So, they probably disappeared outside the academy at noon.”

“Yes, I understand. We will go and look for them now!”

After reporting to the officials, Jian Qingqing went to look for the workers who had built her house before. They had already settled down in Shifeng County with the help of the officials and were now building their own house.

Their settlement was in the outskirts of the county town, not far from the county town. Jian Qingqing rode the horse carriage and ran there quickly.

Ma Jiacai saw her and asked in surprise, “Miss Jian, why are you here? Is there something you need help with?”

Jian Qingqing was already very familiar with them. She hurriedly said, “Uncle Jiacai! Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye are missing. Can you help me return to Jian village to see if they have gone back? Regardless of whether they are here or not, please go to the Detian Academy and inform me.”

69 Looking For Them (2)

Ma Jiacai said nervously, “Don’t worry, I will find them as soon as possible. As for these people, you can just order them around!”

“Sorry to trouble you.”

Jian Qingqing handed the ox-cart to him so that it would be faster.

Ma Jiacai quickly took it and rushed towards Jian Family village.

Their conversation was also seen by the villagers at the side. Many of them who had worked as workers in her house said, “Miss Jian, if you need our help, let us know. We will do our best to help!”

Jian Qingqing nodded and shouted, “This time, I will give a reward to anyone who goes with me to look for them. If anyone finds them, I will reward them heavily!”

When they heard that there was a reward, they all replied, “We will go with you!”

Jian Qingqing roughly arranged for them to go in teams of ten. They were led by workers who knew Xiao Hu and the others to look for people in the county town and the surrounding areas.

After giving them the task, Jian Qingqing could not care less about the sweat all over her body. She ran to the academy under the scorching sun.

Where did Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye go? Did they leave by themselves or were they taken away?

If they were taken away, were they captured by human traffickers or kidnapped by enemies?

Her family had always been friendly in the Jian Family Village and should not have made enemies with others. She only had an argument with the housekeeper of the Huang family when she bought the cow. Could it be them?

However, it had been so long since that incident, and Butler Wang was only a small housekeeper. The dispute between her and him was not that important. The Huang family had been exiled, so it should not be them.

Could it be that they were jealous of their family’s income? There were such people. She had been in and out of the county every day, so she had no way of knowing.

She ran all the way to the academy, but she could not think of anything.

When Mr. Liang saw her, he quickly poured her a glass of water. “We have looked everywhere in the academy, but we did not find anyone. The guards at the door said that they had not come back after school, and we have not seen anyone arguing around.”

Jian Qingqing gulped down mouthfuls of water. “Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Liang. I will go and look again.”

There were some vendors selling food around the academy, mainly for the students in the academy. Now, someone from the government office was questioning them.

Jian Qingqing walked over and listened.

The official saw her and said, “We’ve asked these vendors. They all said that they didn’t notice anyone, but we haven’t seen anything strange. No one has been caught or anything.”

Jian Qingqing panted heavily. “We haven’t found them anywhere. Something must have happened to them. Please look for them again.”

The officer promised, “That’s what we ought to do.”

At this time, Ming Zhiyan was riding a horse, he hurriedly rushed over. He pulled the reins and let out a ”woosh’ before jumping off the horse.

“How is it? Tell me about the situation.”

Jian Qingqing told him all the information, from the time she noticed their disappearance up until now. “Those vendors and guards all said that there was nothing unusual in the vicinity. Then they might have taken the initiative to go with someone or not met with an accident here. But Xiao Hu and the others know their limits. They wouldn’t go with someone or go to other places for no reason.”

Ming Zhiyan had followed her to the tree where they met every day and did not find anything unusual. They continued to walk along the road. The academy was the last house on this street, and the back was blocked by the wall. Peddlers set up their stalls in front. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Seeing that he was walking back, Jian Qingqing asked in puzzlement, “There’s nothing back there. What are you looking for?”

70 Traces

Ming Zhiyan lightly gestured, “Look at the shadow under the wall.”

“Huh?” Jian Qingqing was puzzled and followed his gaze.

It was still early, and the shadow of the house was slightly facing east, forming a small shadow under the wall.

There was nothing wrong with it.

!!

No, why was there a shadow under the house?

Jian Qingqing walked over quickly and found a slightly dented ditch between the house and the wall. The shadow of the house fell into the ditch, and from afar, one would not be able to see it.

This ditch was very narrow and could only accommodate one person. At this moment, a few messy footsteps appeared on the wet mud surface of the ditch!

Ming Zhiyan looked down at the footsteps on the ground and slightly raised his head to take a few pieces off the rough wall.

Jian Qingqing asked with a trembling mouth, “Are… are these the footprints of Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye?”

Ming Zhiyan glanced at her, she said, “These footprints are still very fresh. It looks like they haven’t been formed for long. There are also a few on the wall. It is speculated that someone climbed over the wall from here. The largest of these footprints is that of an adult man. It weighs about 100 catties. The remaining two are around 70 catties and 50 catties respectively.”

...

It matched Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye’s weight. They had measured their weight a few days ago.

However, who was that adult male? Why would Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye climb the wall with him?

Ming Zhiyan was slightly pumped up, he quickly climbed up the wall with both hands and extended a hand towards Jian Qingqing. “Let’s go. What happened? Let’s go and investigate.”

Jian Qingqing looked at him in a daze. How could he climb up such a tall wall so easily?

She collected her thoughts and placed her hand in his. The next second, she felt her wrist being grabbed and her entire body being lifted up.

Before she could react, she was standing on top of the wall.

Jian Qingqing silently struggled her hand out and secretly swore that she would eat more to grow taller and fatter!

Ming Zhiyan did not care. He jumped down from the wall alone. “Let’s go. They shouldn’t have gone far.”

Jian Qingqing also jumped down. The ground here was much higher than the other side, so she could easily jump down.

This should be the outskirts of the county. The ground was full of weeds. At this moment, they could see some traces where the grass had been stepped on. Jian Qingqing and Ming Zhiyan followed this path and chased after them.

…

...

In a dark and shabby thatched cottage in the countryside, two men were cursing. Xiao Hu endured the pain and tried to open his eyes from the darkness. Unexpectedly, he was kicked. He grunted.

The two men did not realize that he had woken up. The man who kicked Xiao Hu had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, he spat angrily. “Ergou, what do you think we should do now that we’ve captured them? There are people looking for them everywhere outside. Who knew that wretched girl would react so quickly? If we hadn’t taken the small path, we would have long been discovered by them!”

The man known as Ergou had a sinister look on his face. After a moment of silence, he said, “Brother, go and contact someone. We’ll sell them as soon as possible.” n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Hearing this, the Dagou was shocked. “Are we really going to sell them? Didn’t we say that we captured these two boys and threatened that wretched girl to hand over the recipe? If we sell them, we won’t be able to sell them for much money.”

Ergou kicked the stool fiercely, and the originally broken stool immediately shattered into pieces.

He roared angrily, “Then what do you think we should do!? That wretched girl realized that they had disappeared and called so many people to look for them. She even called the officials. Sooner or later, they would find us here. If we don’t get them out as soon as possible, we would be the ones who will die! If there’s no one here, so what if they find this place? No one will know that we caught them.”
