    On the bullock cart returning, Xiao Jingkong had a serious face.

    Today met a very fierce female donor, and the female donor also said a lot of things that he didn't understand, which seemed to be unkind.

    But this is not the point.

    He seems to be protected by Gu Yan's brother today...

    Obviously he is so much smarter than Gu Yan's brother, he skipped grades, he took the first place every time, and Gu Yan's brother is just a baby. But when Gu Yan's brother squatted down to wipe his little hand, and dragged him to the private school behind him, he had the illusion that he was a baby.

    Xiao Jingkong fell into deep contemplation, and for the first time became confused about the positioning of herself and Gu Yan.

    On the other side, Anjun Wang and Miss Zhuang returned to the villa.

    Miss Zhuang was exhausted and fell asleep.

    County King An ordered her close maid: "Don't let anyone disturb her to rest. No one will be seen."

    The maid said hesitantly: "If that is Miss Gu..."

    Junwang An’s eyes were cold: "No!"

    "Yes." The maid hurriedly responded.

    County King returned to his house.

    Not long after, the man in black stepped in and bowed his hand in a salute: "The King of the County."

    County King poured himself a cup of tea, and said quietly, "Are there any gains?"

    The black-clothed man shook his head: "The subordinates have visited all the inns, hospitals, and doctor's homes in the town, but no trace of the Queen Mother has been found."

    County King murmured: "Perhaps she has never been to the hospital, nor has she looked for the doctor in the town, nor has she stayed in an inn."

    The man in black wondered: "Where will the queen mother go? Could it be that it was hidden in which people's house?"

    County King was silent.

    The man in black said dismissively: "The princess, this is impossible. Have you forgotten that the queen mother has leprosy?"

    In the initial stage of leprosy, there are only some small red spots on the body and face, which look like frostbite or allergies, but as the course of the disease gets longer, the symptoms of leprosy will become more and more obvious, and eventually become completely different from normal people.

    It is impossible for a leper to hide unless she enters the mountains and forests and lives alone.

    But this is even more impossible.

    The empress dowager will be pampered for a lifetime. She can't even cook food. If she really stays in the old forest, she will starve herself to death sooner or later without waiting for illness or death by a beast.

    County King thoughtfully said: "What you said is right, but if she didn't hide, where would she go? She has leprosy, and it will cause commotion wherever she goes."

    The black man said: "Do you really not consider the possibility of the death of the Queen Mother?"

    King An: "I said, I want to see people when I live, and I want to see the dead when I die."

    The man in black was helpless.

    "Perhaps someone took her in and cured her."

    The human in black said: "Leprosy cannot be cured!" Even Chen Country, the best medical expert, can only delay the symptoms of leprosy. The earlier intervention, the better the curative effect, which can completely cure unheard of.

    Of course King An understands how unreasonable his guess is, but he is even more reluctant to believe that the Queen Mother has died alone in a corner than being cured.

    He ordered: "You should check the old women who came to Qingquan Town last winter, including the villages under the control, don't miss them."

    "Yes."

    The man in black led the order to investigate. His efficiency was much higher than that of Huang Zhong and his group. Within a few days, two matching clues were found: one in Daniu Village, the other in Qingquan Village, and the two villages were located in the north of the town. With Zhennan.

    "Da Niu Village lived there last winter. When the villagers found out that she was curled up in an abandoned cowshed, the villagers saw that she was pitiful, so they let her live in the cowshed, and occasionally someone gave her a gift. Order food so that you won’t starve to death."

    County King asked, "Where is another one?"

    The black-clothed man continued: "This is a distant relative of a talented person in Qingquan Village. Something went wrong at home, so he came to him with nowhere to go."

    Judging from the clues, the old women in Daniu Village seem to be more in line with the people they are looking for.

    However, for some reason, King An chose Qingquan Village.

    There is no reason, just an intuition.

    In order not to provoke an alarm, King An decided to go there in person, and the men in black and his men were on standby in the town.

    Anjun Wang rode a horse and arrived at the village.

    Summer days are long, and the evening sky is still bright.

    King An tied the horse under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, and walked towards the family according to the map drawn by the man in black.

    At the moment, Xiaojingkong was feeding chickens in the backyard, worried that the chickens would run out and closed the door.

    County King raised his hand and knocked on the door.

    The door opened is small headroom.

    On that day, Xiao Jingkong was taken into the private school by Gu Yan before Gu Jiao started, so he didn't know what happened later, nor did he see King An.

    However, King An looked back after getting in the carriage and saw Gu Jiao walking out of the private school holding Xiaojingkong's hand. They were also followed by a young man who looked exactly like Gu Houye, who must have been the imperial doctor. Gu Yan, who asserted that he could not survive more than fifteen.

    It's weird, why is this little guy here?

    "Is this your home?" Junwang An asked.

    Xiao Jingkong did not completely open the door, only opened a slit, revealing a round head: "Of course this is my house, who are you? What are you doing in my house?"

    King Anjun said in a gentle voice: "I'm passing by and want to ask for a bowl of water."

    "Then wait!" Xiao Jingkong did not invite him into the house, but closed the door, and after a while brought him a bowl of water, "Here."

    The little guy is very wary...

    King An took it, drank the water in the bowl, and then returned the empty bowl to him: "Are you home alone?"

    Xiao Jingkong became vigilant in an instant, and the cracks in the door closed slightly: "Are you a human tooth? Why do you ask about this?"

    County King said calmly, "Ah, no, I just drank your water and wanted to thank your sir."

    Xiao Jingkong said sternly: "I brought you the water. It is enough for you to thank me!"

    County King has never seen such a kid who doesn't follow his routine. He was taken aback and said, "Ah, thank you very much. By the way, can I ask you how to get to Daniu Village?"

    If Xinghua Village Yangliu Village still knows Xiaojingkong, but Daniu Village exceeds his common sense reserve, Xiaojingkong gets stuck on the spot.

    County King smiled at the corner of his lips: "Can you help me ask your adults?"

    "My grown-up is very busy. Go to find out elsewhere! You go east. The seventh family is named Luo. Second Uncle Luo is a ox cart. He knows every village!" After Xiao Jingkong pointed out a clear road, Close the door decisively, and don't forget to plug in the door bolt!

    Jiaojiao said, never let strangers in when there are no adults at home!

    He is a child, and his aunt is an old man, none of them are adults!

    County King was also a person who had gone abroad somehow, with rich experience, but unexpectedly he was turned away by a child.

    But he didn't give up so easily. If the front door didn't work, he walked through the back door.

    He has to see the old lady today.

    County King walked around to the back door.

    The back door of the stove was also closed, but it was not locked.

    King An paused, gently pushed the door open, and stepped in.

    The sound of his footsteps was very soft, and there was hardly any sound.

    Just as he walked three or two steps, a figure suddenly appeared behind the door, holding a rolling pin and knocking it down on his head.

    With only a bang, King An was knocked out.

    The old lady threw the rolling pin back on the cutting board, looked condescendingly at the unconscious King An, and hummed, "Sneaky, it's not a good thing at first sight!"

    The old lady heard all the conversations between King An and Xiao Jingkong, always inquiring about the presence of an adult at home, and sneaking in through the back door after being rejected, thief, proper little thief!

    It’s not to blame the old lady for being so suspicious. It is true that after the days at home were not so difficult, some thieves were really worried about them. However, the thieves were all at night, and the guards of Gu Jiao and Gu Yan were there at night. People can be solved with two clicks.

    It was unexpected that the thief was so courageous that Qingtian and Bairi would dare to come to the door and follow things!

    The old lady looked at the handsome profile face, and said, "You are better than being a little thief if you eat with your face. But...how do I think this kid is a bit familiar...Where did I meet? pass?"

    The old lady's sap was cruel, and Gu Jiao, Gu Xiaoshun, and Gu Yan returned from the mountain after cutting wood. He was still unconscious on the floor of the stove.

    Gu Jiao and Gu Xiaoshun put down the two bundles of firewood behind them, and Gu Yan also put down the half basket of dead branches and leaves they had picked up.

    "Jiaojiao, there was a thief at home, my aunt is so powerful, she knocked the thief out!"

    The small headroom turned into a small speaker for a second, and he said that what happened.

    Gu Jiao quickly recognized that he was not a small thief, but the young man in Jinyi who had met outside the private school a few days ago-the King An from Gu Jinyu's mouth.

    Gu Jiao’s impression of him is not good or bad. He did not protect his own sister and apologized to Master Gu. He was so reasonable at a young age. I don’t know if he is too fair and kind, or this person is fundamental. not simple.

    No matter what, he can't have an accident in their house.

    Gu Jiao grabbed her with both hands and took the person to Gu Xiaoshun's house.

    The old lady did not show mercy at that moment. A big bag was put on his head and some blood was bleeding. Gu Jiao gave him medicine and wrapped it in a circle of gauze.

    After that, Gu Jiao took out the silver needle again and pierced his acupuncture points a few times.

    County King slowly opened his eyes.

    The features of King An's are not extraordinarily exquisite, but he has a depressing temperament in him.

    His eyes are beautiful, but they don't seem to be right.

    Gu Jiao gave him a weird look, took out her hand, and shook it before his eyes.

    He didn't respond.

    what's the situation?

    Are you blind?

    It was dark at this time, and only a faint oil lamp was lit in the room.

    Gu Jiao turned the wick brighter, but he still couldn't see it.

    But he was not panicked, nor did he show the slightest strangeness. He calmly closed his eyes: "My eyes hurt."

    The first sentence of waking up is not to ask where this is or who you are, but to cover up the facts that you can't see.

    What a strange person.

    Since he said that, Gu Jiao would naturally not expose him. After all, no one can guarantee that there will be any price after the breach.

    The more you know, the faster you die.

    "Then don't open it, I'll find some herbs for you to apply." Gu Jiao said, messing with mint leaves, wrapped in a piece of cloth and blindfolded his eyes.

    "Jiaojiao!" Xiao Jingkong poked a small head from the door, "Is he awake?"

    It's the voice of the little guy.

    King An began to guess Gu Jiao's identity in his heart. If he guessed correctly, she should be the woman who had a dispute with his sister that day.

    But isn't she Ding'anhou's daughter?

    How can you live in such a place?

    "He woke up." Gu Jiao asked, "Are you hungry?"

    "Well, I'm hungry." Xiao Jingkong nodded honestly, and asked again, "Is there anything wrong with him?"

    Gu Jiao whispered, "He is fine, but his eyes are a little uncomfortable."

    Xiao Jingkong said again: "Will he blame Auntie?"

    Gu Jiao looked at King An: "Recently, there have been several thieves in the house. You came in through the back door, and my aunt treated you as a thief."

    "It's mine, it's not." Junwang An said.

    "He doesn't blame Auntie." Gu Jiao turned to Xiao Jingkong and said, "You go have some snacks first, and I'll cook dinner right away."

    Only then did the small clearance walk away safely.

    Hearing Gu Jiao's voice, King An could hardly associate her with the woman who slapped his sister and Gu Jinyu, as if they were two people, and as if her patience and tenderness had been given to her family.

    With no one else in the room, Gu Jiaocai asked again: "Why did King An suddenly visit the house?"

    Originally, was just guessing, the next sound of King An could be regarded as a complete confirmation of her identity. After all, it is impossible for people who have not seen him to know that he is King An.

    County King always couldn't tell her that I suspected that the Queen Mother was hiding in your house. He hesitated and said, "It's true that I came to the door to apologize. Miss Gu was wronged by the family's sister."

    Gu Jiao: "Oh."

    County King couldn't tell whether she believed it or didn't believe it: "You said... it was your aunt who just stunned me?"

    Gu Jiao said, "What's wrong?"

    Junwang An calmly smiled and said, "She is really strong."

    It seems that the other party is not the queen mother.

    The queen mother recognized him.

    County King was about to leave, and at this moment, a small voice complained from the backyard: "Jiaojiao! Auntie has eaten preserves again!"

    "I don't! The little monk is not allowed to talk nonsense!"

    "I am not a monk!"

    "You are a little bald!"

    This voice...

    County King felt he was shaking all over and his whole body froze!
