Xiao Chen brought Qiu Shi to almost the entire Dali Ancient Town, but they did not find any clues. Qiu Shi's anxiety did not escape Xiao Chen's eyes." Don't worry, we can stay here for three days. As long as you're sure this is the place, we'll find it. Let's go to the city gate and wait for your Uncle Wang. Let's see if he has any news!"”He patted Qiu Shi's shoulder and said.
Xiao Chen brought Qiu Shi all the way to the Cheng En Gate. Seeing the people dressed in strange clothes shuttling back and forth in front of her, the girl was dazzled." Is this really the place where I was born?”
"Your appearance is very characteristic of the Bai clan. If you say it's not, I won't believe it!”Xiao Chen smiled. He pointed at an ancient city building in front of him and said,
Our current location was called Cheng En Gate before it was destroyed. It was the name of the four corners of Dali Ancient City. Tonghai, Cangshan, Chengen, and Anyuan also had other names. Yingchuan, Xiping, Zhuge Liang, Changqing.
Qiu Shi observed the ancient city. The grayish-black outer walls were made of bricks, with a rectangular plate above and a ring ditch below. The market in the city was a typical chessboard layout. The signboard next to it indicated that there were five streets from south to north and eight alleys from east to west.
There were many strangely dressed people going in and out of the room, as if they were performing something.
There was a large exhibition stand next to it, and there were many photos of the city in the past. However, a portion of the buildings had already disappeared. It turned out that only a portion of the city walls of the North and South City had been preserved. In the year she was born, the South Gate was rebuilt. The word "Dali" on the door was a collection of Guo Moruo's calligraphy.
"So, when I was born, not all sad things happened!”Qiu Shi could not help but sigh.
Xiao Chen smiled again." You're so young. Why are you so sentimental?!" You're acting like an old man-"
"Mr. Carson!" Qiu Shi pointed at the exhibition stage." Look, it says that there's a moat outside the ancient city. The buildings surrounding this ancient city are all made of green tiles. It's a simple and elegant city! I want to see this river-"
Eh? What kind of thinking was this?
"Xiao Chen, you two are here!" Little Wang, who was sweating profusely, suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.
Little Chen was amused. At this moment, he deeply understood that Little Wang's importance could not be ignored! She grabbed Little Wang's arm and said excitedly,"You must be hungry! Hurry up and find a place to eat-"
"Sigh! I'm so tired!" As soon as Xiaowang stepped into the restaurant, he eagerly sat down on the stool. Even if someone offered him a thousand yuan, he probably wouldn't change the stool!
"It's not that I'm tired of walking, but the commoners were especially enthusiastic when they saw our clothes. I asked about the gathering place of the educated youths in Chongqing and the Duan family that this child mentioned, but the commoners insisted on giving me some local products! If I take it, it'll be a violation of discipline. I can't take it! He could only run as though he was escaping. I'm so tired!" Little Wang was out of breath as he spoke. He picked up the bowl on the table and drank the tea brewed from the well water in one gulp!
"Have you heard any news?!”Xiao Chen was getting impatient. Qiu Shi also looked up, waiting for an answer.
"Boss, one more bowl!" Little Wang raised her hand to wipe her lips and continued,
"Later, I heard that there was a village at the foot of the hanging bridge. Although the distance was not far, it was difficult to walk. He heard that something had happened in this village more than ten years ago! All the educated youths from Chongqing had returned to the city, but there was a woman who had not left. She was fair and beautiful. It was said that she married a local family with the surname Duan and even gave birth to a daughter. A few days after the child was born, her husband was killed at a bus station in Dali. The old lady of the Duan family believed in superstition and said that the woman gave birth to a jinx. Her son died. When the woman had no other choice, she took the child back to her hometown.”
Qiu Shi's sobs were getting louder and louder. She buried her head in her arms and lay on the table, her tears dripping onto the ground.
She choked." Mom wasn't sold to that family. I wasn't born after I was sold-"
Little Wang was anxious at this moment. He did not expect this child to cry so hard. Xiao Chen glared at him coldly." Can't you say something nice?!”
Xiaowang stood up and rubbed her head."Oh! I almost forgot, they also said that the woman's husband is also a police officer. The two of them are free to fall in love, not kidnapping-"
"You still dare to say that!" Xiao Chen kicked him.
Little Wang immediately shut her mouth!
"Ah, Qiu Shi, it looks like we can only set off tomorrow. Let's find an inn in the ancient city for the night and have a good meal!”Xiao Chen hurriedly changed the topic. He knew very well that this child was wearing a mask. Crying and laughing happened in an instant!
She had the ability to control her emotions. She would only show her true feelings in front of someone she trusted.
