In the backyard of Yaosi in Luocheng Town, Qin Shaoyou met his third sister and third brother-in-law.
When he asked about Xue Xiaobao, the third sister couldn't help but wipe her tears.
"That bastard left a letter, saying that a scholar should not only read thousands of books, but also travel thousands of miles. He also said that he has almost read thousands of books, and should travel thousands of miles to see the world with his own eyes. He wanted to practice the principles he learned in the book in order to become a true scholar... Humph, just because he ran away from home, he had the nerve to say that he had read tens of thousands of books? How could he really have read tens of thousands of books? Juan Shu, he should know the principle of 'not traveling far away when his parents are here', and he should not do such a thing and make us worry about him."
Qin Shaoyou actually felt that that kid Xue Xiaobao might have really read the book thoroughly.
Because people in the world often only know the sentence "When parents are here, don't travel far", but they don't know that there is another sentence behind it, "You must have a good way to travel."
This sentence of Confucius not only emphasizes that children should serve and be filial to their parents, but it does not object to a person going out to fight when he has a legitimate and clear goal.
In a sense, Xue Xiaobao is practicing this sentence.
But he still made a mistake. The mistake was leaving without saying goodbye, and the mistake was overestimating his own strength.
Of course, Xue Xiaobao may have informed Xue Qin and Xue Qingshan about this, but he didn't get permission and was given a lesson by the feather duster, so he chose to run away from home.
There is a reason why Xue Qin and Xue Qingshan disagree with Xue Xiaobao traveling around.
The world is unstable now, and a little kid travels around alone... What's the difference between that and seeking death?
Xue Qingshan was actually very worried about his son's safety, but he forced himself to calm down, gently caressed his wife's back, and even comforted Qin Shaoyou in turn.
"Don't worry, Xiaobao is fine. I have sent people to find him. It won't take long to find him."
"I heard that Xiaobao has been away from home for four days..."
Qin Shaoyou hesitated to speak, wanting to say whether Xue Xiaobao would be in any danger, but he was afraid that saying this would make the third sister unbearable.
Xue Qingshan heard what he meant and rolled his eyes at him, which actually revealed the worry in his heart: "What's wrong with you as an uncle? Do you still want something to happen to Xiaobao?"
Qin Shaoyou quickly defended: "Nonsense, I hope Xiaobao is well, but he disappeared for four days, and I really can't let go."
Xue Qingshan explained: "In the past few days, I have asked the Taoist priests from Jade Emperor Temple to help with divination every day. According to the divination they divined, Xiaobao is heading to the southeast, and his life is not in danger for the time being. I sent him The people looking for him are all veterans in the Demon Suppression Department who are good at finding traces. I believe they can catch him in just these two days!"
However, Xue Qin was skeptical about this matter: "You said the same thing two days ago, but now four days have passed, and the people you sent out have not even seen Xiaobao's shadow. !”
"this……"
Xue Qingshan was a little speechless.
He was actually very puzzled. The people he sent out were obviously good at investigating cases and finding enemies. Even some powerful demons and ghosts cannot escape their search. Why is it so difficult to find a child? It's been four days and still nothing?
The anxiety and worry in Xue Qingshan's heart are no less than those of his wife, but he is afraid that if he reveals it, it will make his wife even more nervous and worried, so he suppresses it in his heart and bears it alone.
Qin Shaoyou, who has [bright eyesight], saw out his suppressed emotions at a glance, and simply volunteered: "Third sister, third brother-in-law, don't worry, I have people who are good at finding traces under me. Just lead the team and capture Xue Xiaobao for you!"
Xue Qingshan wanted Qin Shaoyou to go.
If there weren't too many official duties in Luocheng and he couldn't let go, he would have led his own team to chase Xue Xiaobao.
But speaking, he said: "Isn't this not good? You just finished your mission in Jincheng, why don't you go home and have a happy reunion with your parents?"
"Okay, brother-in-law, don't be polite to me here. We can have a reunion at any time. Besides, Xiaobao ran away from home, and his parents must be worried too. Why don't we wait until I catch Xiaobao back, and then we can have a reunion together again?" .”
Qin Shaoyou supported Xue Xiaobao to see more of the sufferings of the people, but he did not agree with Xue Xiaobao traveling alone.
Because he knew very well how chaotic and terrifying the world outside the city was.
Monsters are nothing more than monsters, some beasts in human skin are even scarier than monsters!
Even if Xue Xiaobao wants to travel, he still needs to be a few years older to be able to protect himself.
Xue Qingshan wanted to say something more, but Xue Qin was the first to speak: "Shaoyou, Xiaobao, I'm leaving it to you. If you want to bring the person back alive, even if you die... you have to give the body and the enemy I’ll bring it back!”
Qin Shaoyou comforted him: "Don't worry, Third Sister, didn't the Taoist Priest of Jade Emperor Temple say that Xiaobao's life is not in danger for the time being, and I will definitely be able to bring him back alive. Don't worry too much in the past two days." , go find some strong and thick thorns, and when Xiaobao comes back, whip him hard! Then, I will whip him with you!"
Xue Qingshan also said angrily: "And me, let's beat him together when the time comes! Break his legs and see if he dares to run away from home in the future!"
Qin Shaoyou chatted with his third sister and third brother-in-law for a few more words, and then set out to find Xue Xiaobao.
Before leaving, he said: "Third Sister, help me tell my parents so that they don't worry. By the way, there is one more thing. I met Sixth Sister when I was in Jincheng. She has now been He was transferred to the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division in the capital and became the Commander of the Red Envoy. Like my brother-in-law, he is an official of hundreds of households."
Xue Qingshan was a little surprised: "Sixth sister actually became the commander of the red messenger? Then she, an official of hundreds of households, is much more valuable than me."
Xue Qin asked: "Where is Sixth Sister? Still in Jincheng? Why didn't I come to Luocheng with you?"
Qin Shaoyou replied: "She currently has an important task. When the task is completed, she should come to Luocheng to meet her parents and you two."
Mrs. Xue Qin nodded and asked a few questions about Qin Qiaoer's condition with concern. She was relieved when she learned that everything was fine with her.
Xue Qingshan looked suspicious.
After the King of Shu was captured and sent to the capital, Xue Qingshan also learned about this matter.
Originally, he thought that Qin Qiaoer came to Yizhou just for this case, and now he should be accompanying the escort team on his way back to the capital. But from what Qin Shaoyou said, it didn't seem like that?
Qin Qiaoer has other tasks?
What task could be more important than escorting the King of Shu to Beijing?
Although curious, Xue Qingshan did not ask too much.
As a hundred-household official of the Demon Suppression Department, he is very familiar with the confidentiality regulations.
After saying goodbye to Xue Qingshan and Xue Qinshi, Qin Shaoyou found Zhu Xiucai, Sun Xianzong and others in the front yard of Yaosi in Luocheng Town.
They had put on new official uniforms and were surrounded by a group of former colleagues, saying words of compliments or envy.
Seeing Mr. Qin coming over, these former colleagues saluted and said hello.
Qin Shaoyou nodded towards them in return, and then said to Zhu Xiucai, Sun Xianzong and others: "I want to go find Xue Xiaobao. This is a private matter. If you are willing to go with me, you can go with me. If you don't want to go, stay here." Have a good rest here.”
"I am willing to go with you, sir."
Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma and others said in unison, no one hesitated to go.
They even changed the horses when Qin Shaoyou went to see Xue Qingshan and Xue Qinshi.
Obviously, he had predicted long ago that Qin Shaoyou would definitely catch Xue Xiaobao himself.
"Then let's go!"
Qin Shaoyou didn't say any polite words. He took the reins from Monk Ma, got on his horse, and led everyone out of Luocheng.
