Volume 1 The Boy Who Went Up and Down Chapter 3 Tracking
Chapter III: Tracking
Taking advantage of the moonlight, Xu Changan went back to his home.
He remembered Uncle Shi's words and groped under the bed for a while, but found nothing.
After thinking about it, Xu Changan lay down at the bottom of the bed, and every bluestone slab brick was carefully beaten, and finally let him find it.
When I moved away from the bluestone slab bricks, I saw a small box inside, and a letter was placed in the box.
Xu Changan immediately dismantled it.
When he saw the first sentence, Xu Changan smiled and said, "Dead old man, I knew you were fine." ”
"Chang'an, when you read this letter, I think I'm probably gone. You don't use it to find me, and you can't find it. I know you must have a lot of questions in your mind right now, but this matter is not something that can be explained in a sentence or two. ”
only to see the beginning, as if Uncle Shi was chattering in his ear.
"Why am I leaving, the answer is simple, because some people have been looking for us. You've been asking me since I was a kid why we're moving from one small city to another, and I'm telling you now, in order to survive. ”
Xu Changan seemed to be able to see Uncle Shi's solemn expression at this time.
"I also want to live a peaceful life, and I also want to watch you get married and have children. However, there are some things that you and I can't control. You remember, put on the jade talisman in the box and rush to Yunmeng Mountain, where there are some answers you want to know. Also, be safe along the way and try to go to a crowded route. Perhaps, your walk is a lifetime. ”
Xu Changan put down the letter, and it was obvious that Uncle Shi was very impatient at the time, so the letters were so concise.
He looked at the jade talisman, and a Buddha who seemed to laugh and cry came to life. Xu Changan and Uncle Shi have also been to many temples over the years, most of the Buddhas in the temples are solemn or kind-eyed, they have never seen this Buddha, no matter how you look at it, they are full of evil.
However, he still listened to Uncle Shi's words and put the Buddha close to him.
"Yunmeng Mountain. Xu Changan firmly remembered this place.
Xu Changan is a smart person, and he got a lot of information from what he saw and heard today.
The people who looked for them mentioned in Uncle Shi's letter should be those in front of Uncle Shi's well-dressed mound, and Uncle Shi went to marry the eldest lady of the Wang family to make a cover for the happy events of the Wang family, after all, marriage is a big event, and there are many people, so it is convenient to escape.
As for the reason why Uncle Shi didn't tell him in advance, Xu Changan thought about it and only thought of three things.
The first is that when Uncle Shi knew that someone was coming to them, he was too late to discuss and arrange with him. It happened that the eldest lady of the Wang family lost the hydrangea, and Uncle Shi took this opportunity to find a way out.
The second is that the group of people in black are looking for Uncle Shi, and Uncle Shi can be safe by luring them away, and taking him will drag Uncle Shi down.
The third is this Yunmeng Mountain, there must be extremely important information in Yunmeng Mountain, so Uncle Shi lured them away and let himself get it.
After figuring out these joints, Xu Changan fell asleep with peace of mind. Those people will probably go to find Uncle Shi tonight, so they are safe, so they fall asleep.
On the mountain, the man in black who took the lead raised his fist and smashed it into a big tree, which fell down in response.
"Damn, let this old rat run away again. The man in black's eyes sparkled. "Go back, didn't he come to the wedding banquet with a little ghost, let's go find the little ghost. A group of people disappeared into the night and headed straight for Weicheng.
As soon as the morning dawned, Xu Changan burned the letter, packed it up and went out.
As soon as I got out of the alley, I bumped into a stranger head-on.
After exchanging sorry words, the man immediately asked.
"Little brother, do you know that there is a gentleman surnamed Shi living in this alley?" Xu Changan immediately became alert, but he didn't show half of it.
The man looked at Xu Changan back and forth, and saw that Xu Changan's heart was tight. However, he has lied a lot since he was a child, and he also has a strong ability to adapt. So after lingering for a second between knowing and not knowing the answer, he immediately gave the answer.
"Are you talking about Mr. Shi? His house is in front of the left and the second room is the second one, but it's hard to find people!"
The man looked at Xu Changan again.
"Everyone knows this, at that time, Mr. was hit by the hydrangea of the eldest lady of the Wang family, and now he is estimated to be sleeping in the Wang family's mansion. Xu Changan replied very easily.
"Thank you, little brother, I might as well say it bluntly, Mr. Shi is my old friend, but I never thought that I would end up with a good marriage now, which is really gratifying. Looking at the little brother's bag, I don't know where the little brother plans to go?"
Everyone made up their own purposes, Xu Changan had to continue to pretend to be stupid and said: "Isn't it about to be harvested in autumn, I have to go along the river to help my grandmother, my grandfather went early, and she couldn't be busy alone." ”
"I'm really sorry, then I wish my little brother a smooth journey, and I'm going to congratulate my old friend. ”
Xu Changan swaggered out of the alley, thought about it, and hurried towards the river.
And the stranger stopped someone again to ask for directions, confirmed that what Xu Changan said was true, glanced at Xu Changan's back, put aside his doubts, and walked towards Uncle Shi's house.
There was no one at home, only an empty box and a pile of ashes on the table.
The group looked at each other, they asked themselves if they didn't leak any news, but they didn't expect to be in the air.
I didn't catch up with Uncle Shi, I didn't say anything, I went to Wang's house to find Xu Changan last night, but I didn't expect to come here this morning, but I found that I was put together by this uncle and nephew.
Last night, they just glanced at Xu Changan from a distance in the crowd, and their appearance was not remembered, so how could they find it?
"Tofu brain, fresh tofu brain!" A burst of shouts came from far and near, and the leader made a look, and the people under his hands immediately understood.
"Wait. The vendor carrying the tofu brain was stopped.
"Do you know where this family has gone?" The vendor was also a sincere person, so he replied directly: "Didn't Mr. Shi join the Wang family? ”
"What's this strange method?"
The vendor then replied: "It stands to reason that his nephew Xu Xiaozi should also be in the Wang family, but I just met him, carrying a bag on his back, and left in a hurry." ”
The leader who was hiding in the house had a glint in his eyes and motioned to continue asking.
"My husband knows where this little brother Xu went. ”
The old vendor laughed: "We sell goods, how can we ask this." ”
"Do you know which direction you went?"
The old man spread his hands: "I met him in this alley, and I don't know which direction he went." ”
The leader nodded slightly, let go of the vendor, and let him go.
"Stupid!" the leader didn't know who he was scolding.
The person who asked Xu Changan for directions also reacted at this moment: "He said to go to the riverside, should we chase it?"
"No, he recognizes us, then let's go out of the city and look for the mountains!" the chief's eyes sparkled with wisdom.
