At this moment, the Lord Dog's heart was in turmoil.
Wuu wuu, it was easy for him.
He had only carefully asked this question. He's innocent, okay?
However …
Forget it, forget it, it's normal for a man to give in to his wife.
But... How many bros does he have?
Thinking of this, Lord Dog glanced worriedly at Situ Xi standing at the side. He silently prayed that his brother-in-law would be easier to get along with than his brother-in-law.
Otherwise...
The dog owner suddenly felt that his future was dark. He drooped his head dejectedly, as if he was an obedient wife. He shut his mouth and didn't speak anymore, but his eyes kept sneaking glances at Nona from time to time. She didn't know why, but it was as if the ugly pustules on her face were so vivid …
"Stop pretending here. If you can't find my brother, then I won't bother with you." This was the first time that the lord dog obediently shut his mouth, and Nona was actually not used to it. Ever since she saw him, this fellow had been full of nonsense. He was simply the Tang Monk of the real world. Now, he suddenly shut his mouth obediently and remained silent. Instead, Nona felt that it was a bit strange.
However, the most important thing was to find Gu Jinyu.
"Don't worry, don't worry. As long as he's still in Jincheng City, I'll definitely be able to help you find him." As soon as he heard that he would ignore her if he couldn't find her, he immediately jumped up and patted his chest with a serious expression on his face. Was this a joke? She was the chosen wife, how could he let her ignore him?
Nona didn't realize that Gu Jinyu's importance had increased by several folds because of this joke of hers. She secretly decided that no matter what, she had to find her brother-in-law. As long as he was still in Jincheng, even if he had to dig three feet out of the ground, he had to find him.
"Alright, then I'll depend on you!" Nona pursed her lips and showed a faint smile. She looked at the old dog and shrugged her shoulders. Although she said that, she still didn't believe that the Lord Dog had the ability to find her brother. She only felt that he was serious and didn't have the heart to hurt his morale.
After all, he was just a child and they had only known each other for a short period of time. It was already quite good that the other party was willing to help. As for whether they could find him … Even she wasn't sure herself. Although she was worried about Gu Jinyu, she was still rational …
"What now?"
Situ Xi, who had been silently standing to the side, watched with cold eyes. She waited until Ninth Mother and Lord Dog had finished speaking before speaking up. At this moment, Ninth Mother's attention was completely focused on how to find Gu Jinyu, while her eyes were focused on Ninth Mother's body without blinking. Only Min'er could feel that something was not right, and she looked up worriedly at the three of them. However, in the end, she obediently lowered her head.
"Looking for someone, of course." Jiu Niang replied without the slightest hesitation. She turned around and looked at Situ Xi with a serious expression. "There's something I need your help with."
"What is it?"
Situ Xi lowered her head, a trace of ridicule flashing past her eyes. By the time he raised his head again, she had already calmed down. There was no emotion on his clean face, as if nothing had happened.
"You're more familiar with Jincheng. Think about it, is there any place for you to hide?" In the end, Nona didn't bring Situ Xi and Min'er with her. Although she knew that they truly wanted to help, she didn't know what kind of danger she would face in this situation.
Min'er was just a child. Even if she did encounter any problems, she wouldn't be able to help.
As for Situ Xi, she had a special status. Although he still hadn't figured out her true identity, he knew with his toes that she was definitely not ordinary. Not to mention that he was physically weak.
As for Lord Dog …
Fine, it's fine to consider himself as selfish. It's just that I really have no other choice.
He wasn't familiar with Jincheng, if there was no one to lead the way, he would …
"Don't worry, there's nothing in Jincheng that I don't know about. I'll definitely help you find your brother."
As for Nona not bringing Situ Xi and Min'er along with her, not only was dog grandpa not unhappy, but he was also secretly pleased with himself. Hehe, look, look, he didn't say anything wrong, right? I am very strong, and this is the time for me to show off my skills.
Although he had been a wanderer since he was a child, but …
Hehe, he had secretly gone to watch people sing. Didn't the lyrics say something about a hero saving a beauty, or something like that? Although he didn't save Nona this time, she was still the elder brother that she was very concerned about. As long as he could help her rescue her, she would definitely be touched.
Thinking of this, Lord Dog was secretly delighted. Not only did he not hesitate, he was even eager to give it a try.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Nodding, Nona smiled. To be honest, she naturally did not take the dog grandpa's words seriously. However, there was a saying that was wise, and she would listen to fate. She also understood that there were some things that could not be forced, and she herself did not have much confidence in finding her brother. However, he would definitely do his best, moreover … Even though she didn't have much hope in Lord Dog's words, but … For one thing, she was very confident that no one was more familiar with Jincheng than the dog grandpa, who had roamed around in Jincheng since he was young.
They might not be able to enter those large residential quarters, but if they were to ask about some hidden and remote place, there would definitely be no one who was more anxious and clear than they were.
From the conversation just now, he could tell that they had snuck out to avoid the bailiffs, so they definitely wouldn't dare to run around in the open. The most likely scenario would be to find a secluded place to hide.
"Don't worry, don't worry. There is nothing in Jincheng that Lord Dog isn't familiar with."
He patted his chest and proudly raised his chest, a trace of confidence appearing in his dark eyes.
This was the first time someone trusted him this much and relied on him this much. This was also the first time he felt that he was useful and very useful. This feeling was really very good. At least he really liked it.
"En!" Jiu Niang nodded. She didn't know what the lord dog was thinking. She kept telling herself in her heart: Don't worry, take it slow. These words can't be rushed. But... But once he thought about how his brother couldn't see anything, how would they treat him if he really fell into those people's hands?
When she thought of that delicate and pretty face, the things that might happen to her, she could not help but tremble slightly.
"Is there anywhere else? Are you sure there's nothing left? "
Under the lead of the lord dog, the two of them were pretty much on the same level, right? They searched the entire brocade city and didn't miss even a small cave. However, she didn't expect that she had searched through everything she could find. Not to mention Gu Jinyu, she couldn't even find a single person.
"No more!" Shaking his head, the lord dog's face darkened as well.
At first, he was still full of confidence, but now his shoulders drooped powerlessly. He lowered his head, not daring to look straight into Jiu Niang's eyes. Even his voice had become a bit softer, but there was a hint of embarrassment in it. Previously, he had patted his chest to guarantee that he would be able to help her find her. However, no matter how he searched, he couldn't even find a single trace of her.
"That... That, I'm sorry … "I …"
After a long moment passed, Lord Dog looked up in embarrassment and stammered.
Ever since he was young, this was the first time he had ever apologized to anyone.
However, the words were stuck in his throat. The pitch-black color suddenly turned black and red. Even his ears had turned red and were about to drip blood.
Lowering his head, he twisted his fingers, wanting to break them. This was the first time he felt embarrassed. He felt ashamed, especially when he thought about what he said just now about how he would definitely help her find her. But now … Now...
"It's fine, we've already done our best." Jiu Niang shook her head. She also didn't feel good about it. To tell the truth, after searching for so long, she was on the verge of collapsing. However, none of this could compare to the discomfort she felt in her heart. As she searched for more and more places, she couldn't find Gu Jinyu. In her heart, she realized that this wasn't the same as looking for a needle in a haystack, but … But what else could she do?
Could it be that he was really waiting quietly at the Lin Residence's entrance, waiting for them to exit?
She did not dare to bet, nor did she bet.
In case … If those people didn't go out, would he have to wait forever?
The longer it takes, the greater the danger.
It had been many days since he last saw Gu Yu's family … Fortunately, she was certain of one thing, and that was that her brother had been hidden in the Lin Clan before today. With so many people in the Lin Family, even if they wanted to deceive others, they would not dare to do anything to their brother. Otherwise, if they caused too much of a commotion, it would attract the attention of others. Although she had only secretly heard a few words, she was certain of one thing. That was, her husband didn't know that Madam Lin had kidnapped her brother, and it seemed like she didn't want her husband to know either. If he fell into their hands, if he refused to cooperate, he would definitely suffer a little. However, at the very least, his life would not be in danger.
But... However, now that those people had brought Big Brother out, it was hard to say …
Right now, the Jincheng City was filled with search runners. Normally, it would be much safer. However, in this situation, it was practically a death knell.
If they were found by the bailiffs first, they might do something in order to survive.
"I... I said I'd find someone for you. "
The lord dog raised his head in self-reproach, looking at Nona in embarrassment. He wished that Jiu Niang would scold him ruthlessly. He might feel better if he said this. The more she didn't say anything, the more upset he felt. He felt more and more that he had let her down. He could only clench his fists tightly and silently make up his mind. No matter what, he must find that person.
