The Sun family has a son and a daughter, which is even more remarkable. The daughter is of heavenly beauty and the sons are handsome and well-behaved. They are all kind-hearted people."
Xiao Chengyi nodded: "I see, our brothers are still worried about how to settle down in Jingzhou. After listening to what you said, boss, I have an idea. Thank you very much."
He thanked the boss politely.
After the boss poured you tea, he went to greet other guests.
Mu Yun'an whispered: "Brother Yi, it seems that the Sun family has a pretty good reputation in Jingzhou."
Xiao Chengyi nodded: "Indeed."
He said to everyone: "When we get to Jingzhou later, be careful."
Everyone tacitly understood that there was something unusual about the Sun family. Sometimes the reputation was so good that it was difficult for people to make mistakes, which made it even more problematic.
After drinking tea, everyone continued to set off. Unexpectedly, it suddenly started raining halfway, so they found a nearby farmhouse to stay.
The farmer was an old couple, so they were a little surprised to see so many people coming, but when they saw Mu Yun'an's belly, they didn't refuse.
The owner of the farmer invited them in and cooked ginger tea for them to ward off the cold.
Mu Yun'an thanked him and drank the ginger tea.
Xiao Chengyi looked around and asked curiously: "Are you and your wife the only ones living here?"
The peasant woman replied: "We also have a son who works for the Sun family and has not been back for a long time."
Xiao Chengyi heard about the Sun family again and couldn't help but be a little curious: "What kind of work are you doing? Why haven't you come back for a long time?"
The peasant woman shook her head: "Our family was originally poor, and we usually made a living by chopping wood and hunting. Later, my son said that the Sun family was recruiting workers, and the wages were good, so he went there.
But it’s been more than a year, and he only asked people to come and give us money, but he never came back, saying he was too busy.”
Xiao Chengyi asked: "What about the letter from home? You haven't written a letter yet?"
The peasant woman said: "My son has never read a book and doesn't know a few Chinese characters. He just has brute strength."
As she said that, she sighed and said: "My son is already twenty this year, and it's time for him to get married. Now that we have some savings, we hope he can come back and arrange the marriage."
Mu Yun'an also noticed something strange. What kind of work was he doing? Why didn't he come back?
She asked: "Then you didn't go to Sun's house to ask?"
The peasant woman said: "Why didn't you go? But where can we see the great virtuous person of the Sun family? If we ask my servants, we can't find anything."
But there are a lot of things like this, and many people in the city have gone to work for the Sun family."
Mu Yun'an was shocked and asked, "You're all gone and never coming back?"
The peasant woman sighed: "Isn't it?"
Mu Yun'an frowned. She looked at Xiao Chengyi and intuitively told her that this matter was not simple. There must be some conspiracy hidden by the Sun family.
She asked: "Brother Yi, do you remember Fengdu City?"
Xiao Chengyi will naturally not forget that when there was a rumor that Fengdu City was haunted, all the men in the city disappeared. Later it was found out that they had been kidnapped to mine ore.
He asked: "Are there any mountains near Jingzhou?"
The peasant woman replied: "There is a Yunwu Mountain thirty miles south of Jingzhou City. It is said that wild animals are often found in the mountain and no one dares to enter it."
Then she said to them: "You guys wait a moment, I'll prepare something to eat for you."
Xiao Chengyi thanked her, and after the peasant woman went out, his face turned cold and he lowered his voice and said, "It seems that the Sun family must have some ulterior secrets."
Xuandu said solemnly: "Why do you think the Sun family recruits so many workers?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "When we were in Fengdu City before, some strong men disappeared and they were kidnapped to mine ore.
The missing people in Jingzhou are also young men. If it is not mining, then the most likely reason is..."
