The imperial examination is approaching, and Bao Zheng is going to Beijing to take the exam.

Ling Chuchu asked him and Jiang Yi to talk at the restaurant at this time.

After the meal was finished, Bao Zheng asked: "Chuchu, you can eat now, what do you want from us, should you tell me?"

Jiang Yi probably guessed Ling Chuchu's purpose, and said in his mouth: "Yes, we are all friends, if you need help, just ask."

After pondering for a moment, Ling Chuchu said: "That's right. The village where my family is located is located in the mountains and forests. It is very hidden, and no outsiders usually come here.

Some time ago, after I went home, I realized that many things had happened in the village. My father disappeared, and my seventh uncle died strangely, and his arm was chopped off.

Now people in the village are rumoring that my father killed Uncle Qi and ran away. I hope you can help me find his whereabouts and restore my father's innocence. "

"It turned out to be this matter, no problem, I will definitely help you find your father's whereabouts."

Bao Zheng didn't think too much, and agreed with all his heart.

Ling Chuchu worried: "I'm afraid it will delay your coming to Beijing for the exam."

Bao Zheng smiled casually and comforted him: "It's okay, even if you miss it this time, you can still take the exam next time. Your father's safety is more important."

Jiang Yi didn't speak at the side, he knew that Ling Chuchu was talking about the plot of Hermit Village. He also guessed a little bit about Ling Chuchu's decision to pull him in. He should still suspect that he solved the case of Prince Gaoli by himself, so he was more confident in pulling himself in.

After the agreement was made, the next day, the three of them took Zhan Zhaolue to make preparations and set off for Hermitage Village.

Before leaving, Mrs. Bao specially fried a large bag of broad beans for them to eat on the way.

After leaving Luzhou City, I walked along the official road for a long time.

Then go around the trail and enter an inaccessible mountain forest.

Walking among the deserted mountains, Zhan Zhao asked strangely: "Sister Chuchu, why is your family in the mountains? It's so remote, there's no road at all."

Among the four of them, Bao Zheng has no martial arts. After walking on the mountain road for so long, he was so tired that he was out of breath. He wiped his sweat with his sleeve and said, "Yes, it's very inconvenient to live in this wilderness."

Ling Chuchu shook her head: "I don't know either. When my mother was pregnant with me, my father and his brothers came to this place to live in seclusion. They haven't had much contact with the outside world for so many years."

Bao Zheng was thoughtful: I don't know what secrets are hidden in this hermit village.

Several people walked while talking.

Suddenly, there was a shout of surprise from the forest ahead: "I caught it."

"It's a musk deer. There's meat to eat at night."

The voice was high and low, as if there were many people.

After hearing this, Ling Chuchu's expression brightened, and he said to Jiang Yi and the others: "It should be Yang Kai and Zhuo Yun from the village who are hunting, let's go there quickly."

As he spoke, he led the three of them through the woods and walked in the direction of the sound.

After walking for tens of meters, I saw a young man with a resolute face carrying a musk deer on his shoulders. His face was full of complacency, obviously because he had just harvested the prey.

Seeing the four of them, Ling Chuchu, the young man showed joy, with a hidden fiery flash in his eyes, he said with a smile, "Chuchu, long time no see."

Ling Chuchu ran to him, and said in the tone of an old friend: "Yang Kai, it seems that you have a good harvest today."

Yang Kai patted the deer on his shoulder and said with a smile, "I invite you to eat the deer meat tonight."

"OK."

After Ling Chuchu agreed, he looked at a handsome and gentle man beside him, and asked: "Zhuo Yun, aren't you usually good at hunting, why are you being compared to Yang Kai this time? "

Zhuo Yun said embarrassingly: "I didn't pay much attention just now, and Yang Kai took a step ahead."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ling Chuchu introduced Jiang Yi and the others: "They are friends I made outside the mountain, Jiang Yi, Bao Zheng, and Zhan Zhao."

The two sides got to know each other briefly, neither Yang Kai nor Zhuo Yun said much to the three of them.

Yang Kai looked at Ling Chuchu and asked, "Chuchu, where have you been all this time?"

"Walk around Luzhou City."

Ling Chuchu said casually, "How is the village recently?"

"Still the same."

Several people walked towards Hermitage Village while talking.

"I'm going back."

When they arrived at the village, Ling Chuchu said goodbye to Yang Kai and others, and took Jiang Yi and others to the house.

On the way, when people in the village saw Ling Chuchu coming back, they didn't mean to say hello, they just looked at her with weird eyes, and gathered together from a distance to whisper, not knowing what to say.

Ling Chuchu ignored those people, and brought Jiang Yi and the three of them all the way to a big house at the end of the village.

Opening the door, Ling Chuchu went straight into the hall and shouted:

"Er Niang, Er Niang, I'm back."

Bao Zheng looked at the furnishings in the room, looking at the spacious hall, the famous calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and the tables and chairs made of high-quality mahogany. The expression was rather surprised, remembering the first time she saw Ling Chuchu dressed as a little beggar, said:

"I can't tell, your family is very rich."

"Okay."

Ling Chuchu didn't care.

Just as he was talking, a beautiful woman about thirty years old came out from the back of the hall. She was plump and attractive, with a protruding figure and a seductive style unique to young women.

She looked at Chu Chu, smiled and said:

"Chuchu, you're back. You haven't heard from me for a long time, and I'm worried."

Ling Chuchu gave a brief introduction to both parties.

Erniang looked at Jiang Yi and the others, and said, "Sit down quickly, and I'll bring you tea."

"I'm sorry to trouble you."

Jiang Yi sat down and looked at Erniang's back as she walked away with her waist twisted and her hips swaying, vaguely remembering that she seemed to have cheated on her and had an affair with that young man named Yang Kai.

At the same time, Yang Kai also had some interest in Ling Chuchu, and wanted to marry Ling Chuchu as his wife and take possession of the Ling family's property. If he really succeeded, wouldn't it be possible for both mother and daughter?

Ling Chuchu looked at Jiang Yi and the others, and explained: "My mother passed away when I was very young, and my second mother only married my father a few years ago."

It was only then that Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao came to a sudden realization, no wonder the second mother looked so young.

While a few people were talking, three old men with long beards strode into Ling's house with a menacing look.

There was one person with a thick long beard and a serious face, looking at Ling Chuchu and asked in a cold voice: "Chuchu, where have you been all this time?"

Seeing the person coming, Ling Chuchu shrank back, showing a bit of timidity, and called out respectfully in a low voice: "Fourth Uncle."

Then he looked at the other two old men and greeted, "Third Uncle, Sixth Uncle, you are here."

Li Si looked at Ling Chuchu, his face was ugly, his eyebrows were erected, his expression was as serious as water, and he sternly reprimanded:

"Your father is missing, your seventh uncle Zhuo's body is still alive, there are so many things happening in the village, and you are still running around, you really don't know what's going on.

I think it's better for you to marry Zhuo Yun as soon as possible, so as to restrain your temper. "

Ling Chuchu hurriedly defended: "I also went out for these things, let me introduce you first."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and made false references to Jiang Yi and the others: "These three are my good friends, and this Bao Zheng is a well-known smart man in Luzhou City, who is good at solving cases. I invited him to find out The real culprit who killed Uncle Zhuo Qi, find the whereabouts of my father."

Bao Zheng hurriedly saluted.

Jiang Yi and Zhan Zhao also clasped their fists slightly.

Fourth Uncle Li didn't pay any attention to what the three of them meant. He just looked at Ling Chuchu and said with a cold expression: "Nonsense, you should know the rules of the village. You are not allowed to bring outsiders in. We can handle the affairs of the village by ourselves without outsiders intervening." .”

"But, it's been a month, and you haven't found anything." Ling Chuchu was also worried about his father's safety, so he couldn't help but speak more seriously.

Uncle Li didn't expect that Ling Chuchu would dare to talk back, and shouted: "Presumptuous, is this how you talk to elders?"

Ling Chuchu's eyes were lowered, her posture was submissive, but her tone was quite stubborn: "I don't intend to be disrespectful to my uncles, it is true that my father is missing, and his life and death are uncertain, I am also very worried, and hope that the matter can be resolved as soon as possible.

Don't worry, as long as things in the village are clarified and my father is found, I will naturally take them out of the village at that time. "

Although he didn't think Bao Zheng could help, Li Si couldn't stop Ling Chuchu anymore. After all, the missing person was her father, and she couldn't let her filial piety fail.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Si finally agreed: "Okay, they can stay. But you'd better tell your friends not to run around. Otherwise, something will happen and you will lose your life, but Don't blame me for not reminding them."

Zhang San also said: "You can do it yourself."

After speaking, the three walked away.

When they were far away, Zhan Zhao said, "Sister Chuchu, these uncles of yours are really fierce."

Ling Chuchu said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I don't know why, the elders in the village are very taboo about people from outside the mountain entering the village, that's why they are so rude, don't mind."

"no problem"

The three of Jiang Yi are not stingy people, so naturally they don't take such trivial matters to heart.
