Chapter 179: Missing

又是一个美好的大清早。
天气已经渐渐暖和了，京墨是被热醒的。果然现在盖着厚厚的冬被，实在是有点抵挡不住。
她擦了擦头上的汗，重新把被子叠起来，预备着今天晚上回来换成薄一点儿的夏被。
刚准备去打水洗脸，就听见敲门声。
"Jingmo? Are you awake? Come and open the door!"
It's Hongjian.
Hongjian never comes to knock on the door this early, so coming so early today, she must have something to say.
京墨也顾不上洗脸了，连忙去开门。
“这是怎么了？怎么这么早来敲门啊？”
刚打开门，就见红笺面露急色，好像是有什么要紧的事儿一样。京墨不由得正色起来，连忙询问发生了什么。
\"Do you remember the coachman from before? You know, the one named Zhao Yuanbao?\"
Bao Shu? What happened to him?
Jing Mo was taken aback and quickly nodded his head.
\"I remember, I remember. What happened to him?\"
宝叔跟林大娘经营的小摊位虽然说依旧在巷子中卖东西，但因为有了宝叔这个壮丁的帮助，倒是方便了不少。
前些天，京墨还听说他们赚了不少钱，准备再攒几个月去临街的地方，开个小铺子。
Everything should develop normally and prosper.
“It looks like something has happened to him. This morning, Ruyi passed by the back yard and heard knocking on the back door. When she went to see, it turned out to be the old lady who partnered with him to run the small stall.”
越往后听，京墨就忍不住越发皱起眉头来。
“林大娘?她怎么也掺和进来了?”
“我也不知道，正巧当时如意身边有个小丫鬟，就让她来跟你说一声。现在人还在门口呢，你要去见见他们吗?”
红笺还有点儿喘，看这样子应该也是一路不停的跑过来的。
京墨点点头:“我当然得去见见，就在咱们葳蕤院的院子门口吗?”
Her clothes were not yet fully dressed, and she was only wearing a thin coat at the moment. However, there was no time to go back and find something else to wear, so Jing Mo decided to just make do with what she had and hurriedly tied the sash. Following Hong Jian, she walked out.
As an AI language model, I am not GPT-3.5. I am an AI assistant based on a large language model trained by Zhipu AI. My job is to provide appropriate answers and support to users' questions and requests.
Jing Mo showed a grateful smile.
\"If something really happens, I would have to thank sister for coming to help me this time, otherwise, I would probably still be dawdling for a while when I wake up on my own.\"
"Where is the need to thank me, it's just helping you casually, there is no need to talk about gratitude or not. You go quickly, I am on duty today, even if you come later, there should be nothing wrong."
"Ah, okay!"
Certainly, here is the translated content with the HTML tags preserved:\n\n```html\nThe relationship between the two is good, and Jing Mo doesn't decline, smiling and nodding to her. They are already able to see the courtyard door, so Jing Mo quickens his pace, waving to Hong Jian on his way out.\n```
"I'll go over first and come back immediately after I handle it."
Following the instructions on the red note, Jingmo quickly found the little maid waiting at the door.
"...Are you saying someone came to look for Uncle Bao?"
When the little maid saw it was Jing Mo, she pulled him and rushed towards the back door of the backyard, still talking about what had just happened.
"Yes, yes, after the old lady arrived, people were crying and couldn't speak clearly. To put it simply, someone suddenly rushed over, asked who was Mr. Bao, and without saying a word, they just wanted to take him away."
I don't know if it's because the little maid is exaggerating, but Jingmo feels dangerous no matter how you listen to it. In just a short distance, she's already sweating profusely.
Fortunately, the little maid is also sensible. Seeing Jingmo in such a hurry, she stopped talking and led the way straight to the back door.
But when he arrived at the back door, there was no one there at all.
Jing Mo was a bit stunned, turned around and looked at the little maid, and saw that she was also confused.
\"I, I don't know where they went, it was really Ru Yi sister who asked me to come, I really didn't lie to you.\"
被京墨这样盯着，小丫头也着急起来，生怕她以为是自己撒谎，骗人来的。
看着小丫鬟着急的模样，倒不像是骗人的，京墨也没心思跟她在纠缠下去。
“I'll go ask them, I didn't say you were lying, so don't worry.”
The little maid relaxed at this and nodded, not daring to say much more.
It was the busiest time of the morning, with people coming and going in a hurry. Jingmo looked around and saw the old lady guarding the door.
She is also considered lucky. The matriarch who was on duty today, is the most approachable among the several people on duty.
She rushed over and was about to ask a question. The matriarch had already recognized her and asked with narrowed eyes, "Is this Jing Mo's child?"
“是我是我，嬷嬷，您还记得厨房的那个如意今天来过这儿吗?您有没有看见她往哪儿走了?”
那嬷嬷上了年纪，眼睛有点儿花了，但是一双耳朵还十分灵敏，听见了京墨的询问，便点点头，指指外头。
Here is the translation of the provided Chinese text into English, with the original HTML tags preserved:\n\n\"She said she would go ahead with the person who came to find her first, and left you a message. I originally thought you would take a little longer to arrive, but you came here quite quickly. She said you should go to the place where they usually set up their stall, and she would go there first to see what had happened. If it's convenient, she hopes you can bring along Master Huo.\"
Jing Mo wrinkled her brow slightly. These past two days, Huo Jingchen had not come over, and even if he had, it would be too early at this time to drag him out again.
She thought about it and turned to wave at the little maid.
\"Could you trouble to go to the Shan Zhi Yuan again, and find a brother named Bai Shi? Ask him if it would be convenient for him to lead a few people to the third alleyway right next to our back door. If he's not available, then go to the Song Zhu Yuan. Don't look for the young master, just tell the lad who opens the door, and ask him to find Xiao Jun Zi.\"
Here is the translation of the provided Chinese text into English, with the original HTML tags preserved:\n\n```html\nHaving heard the servant girl repeat it, and confirming that there were no issues, Jing Mo took a gentle breath and, following the instructions left by Ru Yi, made her way to the alley where Lin Dai Ni and the others set up their stall.\n```
This road is not very long, in the past walking here, I only felt that time passed quickly and the journey was short. This is the first time, Jingmo felt that time passed so slowly.
I don't know how long it has been, and I have already seen that familiar alley from afar. The closer I got to the alley, the more nervous Jingmo became.
She could even smell a faint smell of blood in the air, which made her ominous premonition even stronger.
