The space boss's daily life of raising cubs, loving husbands and farming

Chapter 136 Plum Blossom Dart

Xiaohuan was half asleep and reached out to touch Yuanyuan next to her, wanting to see if the little one had wet the bed, but her hand touched nothing.

She shuddered, and all her sleepiness disappeared.

He turned on the light and searched every corner of the compartment, even opening the boxes one by one, but he couldn't find the soft ball.

The door was closed, but Yuanyuan was gone.

For a moment, thoughts of robbing, stealing, and selling the child popped into Xiaohuan's mind, frightening her so much that her face turned pale and she hurriedly put on her clothes and went out to look for the child.

Lu Chengjing was doing rehabilitation training on his right hand. When he heard the noise, he thought Shang Wan had returned, so he opened the door and went out to see.

Seeing Xiao Huan with a panicked look on her face, she frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan is missing." Xiaohuan was so anxious that her eyes were filled with tears. She searched all the boxes where Yuanyuan liked to hide, but couldn't find her.

"The door was closed, and when I woke up Yuanyuan was gone."

"Don't worry, Yuanyuan shouldn't run around." Lu Chengjing said, "I'll go check at the stone, you go look for it in the wolf den."

"Yes, there is also a wolf's den." Xiaohuan opened the door and rushed out.

Lu Chengjing also quickly walked to the cubicle where Shitou was sleeping. He glanced around and saw that the door was closed.

His heart sank, but he still raised his hand and knocked on the door with a glimmer of hope.

Shitou was awakened by a knock on the door. He rubbed his eyes and opened the door. "Who is it? Brother-in-law? Why are you still awake?"

Lu Chengjing didn't bother to say more. He glanced across the dim compartment and asked, "Is Yuanyuan in there?"

"Yuanyuan?" Shitou was still confused as he had just woken up. "Isn't Yuanyuan sleeping with Xiaohuan?"

You shouldn't come to his place to look for Yuanyuan.

Lu Chengjing said in a deep voice: "Yuanyuan is gone."

"Oh, gone..." Shitou froze in the middle of nodding, his eyes widened instantly, and he said in a lost voice, "Gone?!"

Lu Chengjing nodded and said, "Light the candle and see if Yuanyuan is inside."

Shitou did as he was told immediately.

There wasn't much stuff in the compartment where he lived, and the interior was clearly visible when the candlelight came on.

Yuanyuan is not here.

"Brother-in-law, Yuanyuan is not in the wolf den, and Xiaohui is not here either." Xiaohuan ran in, her voice trembling with anxiety.

She looked not only in wolf dens, but also under the stomachs of cows and sheep.

Lu Chengjing closed his eyes tightly, comforting the two of them not to worry, while thinking quickly about where Yuanyuan had gone.

First, rule out the possibility that Yuanyuan was abducted.

The compartment has no windows, only air vents. If any uninvited guest wants to come in and kidnap Yuanyuan, he can only go through the door.

There is a sound when the wooden door is opened from the outside, but there is no sound when it is opened from the inside.

He had been awake the whole time, and if someone really came in from outside the door, it would be impossible for him not to hear any movement.

So, Yuanyuan must have left on her own.

As for the method, the little guy insisted that Xiaohui sleep in the shed tonight, and he probably rode on Xiaohui.

The time to leave should be after my wife goes into the mountain, otherwise I will definitely be caught by her.

Thinking of this, Lu Chengjing's tense heartstrings relaxed slightly, but then he thought of the assassin who might be circling around, and his heartstrings, which had just relaxed, immediately tensed again.

What if Yuanyuan ran into that group of assassins...

He didn't dare to think any further, so he let out a deep breath and said to the two of them, "Let's go check the fields first. Yuanyuan may have gone to see the owl."

An owl, also known as a barred owl, flew here a few days ago and Yuanyuan likes it very much.

The three of them packed up and just as they were about to step out of the door with their lanterns in hand, they ran into Shang Wan who had returned.

She asked in confusion: "Where are you going so late at night?"

Seeing the little one sleeping in her arms, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister, where did you find Yuanyuan?" Xiaohuan took two steps at a time and walked forward to pick up Yuanyuan, looking at her worriedly.

"In the mountains." Shang Wan said, "She ran to the mountains to find me. Don't worry, she's not hurt."

Xiaohuan pinched her round, red little face helplessly. She was almost scared to death just now.

Shang Wan said: "It's late at night, go to sleep, we can talk about it tomorrow."

Shitou yawned and said, "Then I'll go to sleep first."

Xiaohuan also carried Yuanyuan back to the cubicle.

Lu Chengjing didn't move and stood at the door waiting for Shang Wan.

He just smelled a hint of blood from Shang Wan.

Shang Wan simply washed up with the still warm water on the stove, then pulled his fox back to the cubicle.

The candlelight flickered and the dark shadows swayed.

Lu Chengjing sat beside Shang Wan, using his fingers as a comb, starting from the scalp, gently and slowly untangling the tangled hair at the back of Shang Wan's head that had been blown by the wind.

Shang Wan squinted comfortably.

Lu Chengjing asked gently, "Did you run into those assassins?"

"Yes, there are six. It was an accident." Shang Wan said, "I solved it easily when I encountered it."

"What can you ask?"

"They are both very stubborn." Shang Wan said, "I deliberately left two people alive. I wanted to interrogate them, but they actually hid poison in their teeth. Before I could ask them anything, they committed suicide by taking poison."

The tone was full of regret. At least he should leave some useful information before dying.

Lu Chengjing: "Where's the body?"

"Buried it." Shang Wan said, "I originally planned to burn it, but burning it would cause a lot of smoke and take a lot of time, so it's faster to just bury it."

Lu Chengjing took the wooden comb and gently combed his hair.

Shang Wan tilted his head to look at him, "I searched their bodies, but didn't find anything that marked them. But I brought back their weapons."

She stretched out her hand in front of her and a white light flashed. Five daggers, two triangular spikes, three long swords, and a pile of plum blossom darts instantly appeared on the ground.

Lu Chengjing picked them up one by one and took a look. Except for the plum blossom dart, the other weapons had no patterns at all. They were so ordinary that they could be made in any blacksmith shop.

"Look here, does it look like a bat?" Shang Wan pointed at the pattern on the corner of the plum blossom dart and asked Lu Chengjing to take a closer look.

Lu Chengjing looked closer for a moment and nodded, "It does look like it."

Shang Wan took out the jade pendant that Chu Xu gave her and pointed at the two bats below the word Chu. "They are both bats. There shouldn't be many families that use bats as emblems, right?"

Lu Chengjing frowned, "You mean these assassins were sent by people from the Dingguo Mansion?"

Shang Wan shrugged. "Who knows? If the assassin was really sent by Duke Dingguo's Mansion, this matter would be even more troublesome."

Lu Chengjing lowered his eyes in thought, a slight wrinkle appeared between his brows, but he did not stop combing Shang Wan's hair.

Shang Wan put all the weapons into space and tilted his head to look at him carefully. It must be said that this face is really good-looking no matter when you look at it.

How could there be someone who looks so like her?

She reached out and touched the center of Lu Chengjing's brow, smoothed out the wrinkle, and asked with a smile, "Are you not afraid of getting wrinkles now?"

Lu Chengjing: “…”

He put down the comb, gathered the smooth black hair beside him, and said softly: "Give the dart to Chu Xu tomorrow and see how he reacts."

Shang Wan also had this plan.

She yawned and raised her hand to hug the slender waist of the person beside her, "I'm sleepy, let's go to sleep."

Lu Chengjing hummed, blew out the two candles, lay down with the person in his arms, and pulled a thin blanket over him.

Shang Wan closed her eyes and rubbed against his arms. The familiar scent of ink with a hint of pine scent entered her nose, and sleepiness gradually came over her.
