I was listening enthusiastically when Uncle Jiang had already served breakfast for us. I quickly stopped him and asked curiously: "Uncle Jiang, has anyone disappeared recently?"

Hearing this, Uncle Jiang made a bitter look on his face and sighed: "Yeah, he disappeared inexplicably. I hired a guy a few days ago, but he hasn't been seen for three days. I reported it to the police, but there is no news yet, and I don't know. Where have you been? Don’t run around these days. Others are saying that some kind of human trafficking group came to the village to kidnap people."

After that, he turned around and went about his own business.

I picked up the chopsticks, shook my head and sighed: "The world is deteriorating, but human nature is what scares the most."

During the day, he frowned and said nothing, as if he was thinking about something.

I put the chopsticks in her hand: "What are you thinking about? Eat it quickly. It won't taste good after it gets cold."

After hearing my words, he returned to his usual casual expression during the day, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating his breakfast.

After eating and drinking enough, when I got home, I found that there were already many patients waiting at the door. I didn't dare to delay and quickly got into my busy work.

I was so busy that at night, a pretty little girl sat in front of me with a blushing face.

I thought this little girl looked familiar, but for a while I couldn't tell where I had seen her.

"Brother Rui, I came here to get some ointment. My dad accidentally broke his waist when he was kneading the dough."

Knead the dough!

I suddenly remembered, this is not Uncle Jiang’s daughter, Jiang Miaomiao!

"You're Miaomiao! It's been a long time since we last met. You've become a lot prettier."

Jiang Miaomiao's face immediately turned red when I praised her, and she lowered her head shyly.

Only then did I realize that what I said was a little abrupt, and I got up a little embarrassed to get the ointment.

"Keep this ointment on and change it every day. If it's not enough, ask me again."

Miaomiao nodded and wanted to get the money, but I stopped her: "I made these ointments myself and they are not worth much. I didn't bring any money to school before, and Uncle Jiang gave me meat buns to eat. You If you give me money, you’re slapping me in the face.”

"Thank you, Brother Rui."

The girl spoke in a soft voice, which made me feel embarrassed to hear her.

After watching Miaomiao leave, I stretched hard and took stock of the medicinal materials. Seeing that it was almost time, I took a shower and went to bed.

Late at night, when I was sleeping soundly, I heard someone shouting my name outside.

I was afraid that someone was coming to see the emergency room, so I quickly put on my clothes and walked out of the room.

Uncle Jiang's face was full of anxiety. When he saw me, he came up and grabbed my clothes: "Rui Wazi! Have you seen our Miaomiao? She said she came to get medicine from you, but she hasn't come home yet!"

"Have I seen her, or did I personally give her the medicine? Could she have gone to a friend's house to play?"

There was so much noise here that many people came out to watch the fun.

Uncle Jiang quickly denied: "It's impossible. Miaomiao is a very sensible child. She always tells us when she goes out. She hasn't come back yet. Something must have happened. What should we do?"

Seeing that Uncle Jiang was about to cry, I quickly comforted him: "Okay, I'll go out and look for him with you."

I went into the house and got a flashlight. When I was about to go out, I was stopped by Bai Tian: "I'll go with you."

One more person, one more help, I nodded: "Then let's leave quickly."

But we searched the whole village, even the back mountain, and still didn't have any clues.

At noon, I dragged my exhausted body back home and lay down on the table. Feeling sleepy, I was about to take a rest when I heard someone knocking on the door.

When I looked up, I saw several men in black suits standing at the door, looking at me seriously: "Are you Shangguan Rui?"

"Yes, I am."

"We are detectives, specializing in investigating missing cases. Regarding Jiang Miaomiao's disappearance, we want to ask you to make a record."

I forced myself to brace myself and nodded, then stood up and poured some tea for them.

These detectives were all quite young, with a Chinese-character face and regular features. He seemed to be the leader of several detectives. He was serious in his work. I didn’t dare to hide anything, so I told them everything I knew.

After taking notes, the detective with a Chinese-character face closed his notebook and said, "I understand roughly everything, and I hope you won't leave the village for a while."

"no problem."

After seeing them off, I really couldn't hold on any longer. I lay on the bed for half an hour before I got up leisurely.

After sorting out the medicinal materials for a long time, I found something was wrong.

Usually people come to see me early in the morning, but it’s almost night, so why is there no one there?

I walked to the door to see if I had forgotten to hang the sign.

Sitting in the yard during the day, he said leisurely: "Don't look at it. I don't know when it came out that you hid Miaomiao and said that those missing people are also related to you."

I looked confused.

Does this mean that when a person is sitting at home, the pot comes from the sky?

I walked down the escalator and patted the dust on my hands: "Forget it, that's fine. After being busy for so many days, I can rest for a while. The one who cleans himself will clean himself up. I believe they will find out the truth."

During the day, I was playing with the hair in my hands and suddenly stood up and said to me: "Go to bed early and take me to eat wontons tomorrow."

"ah?"

This sentence came too suddenly. I looked confused and wanted to ask. I had already returned to my room during the day and closed the door.

Early in the morning, as expected, he knocked on my door during the day and took me to Old Man Zhang's shop.

It's only six o'clock in the morning, the sky is still dark, and there are not many people in the breakfast shop for the time being.

We found a seat and ordered two bowls of wontons.

When the guests around saw me coming, they didn't even eat. They looked at me awkwardly, got up and left.

It doesn't matter to me, human nature is like this, the wind is like the rain.

Soon, the wontons arrived.

The wontons here are big and full, and the soup is shiny. They look particularly delicious, especially the fragrant taste.

"Eat quickly."

I picked up the spoon and just put the soup into my mouth. Suddenly, a loud scream appeared in my mind.

There were many people screaming and begging, and the sound of chopping vegetables covered all their voices...

A sharp pain exploded on my face, and I woke up instantly.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Tian Tian holding his hands up, as if he was ready to knock them down at any moment.

I quickly covered my face and stood up, looking at her in horror: "I'm awake, I'm awake."

Old man Zhang stood aside and looked at me nervously: "Ruiwazi, what happened to you just now? Is there something wrong with what I made? You must have eaten something wrong."

I was a little embarrassed: "No, it's just that my constitution is a bit weak."
