Shanghai Sixteen Shops, close to the thousand-year-old flowing Suzhou Creek, leaning on the exotic Western-style mansions, the lights are on, the neon is shining, there are graceful girls wearing cheongsams passing by, there are gambling and smuggling gangsters are rampant, and there are also dark and thin coachmen burying their heads, shuttling in the alleys of dogs and horses, drunk and golden.

There was a middle-aged man, holding the bag in his arms tightly, walking in the bustling alley, the aroma of fat powder made him uncomfortable, and the glamorous minor tune also made him flustered.

His eyes wandered, eagerly searching.

A coachman ran up to him, looked at his clothes, and pouted, and bypassed him.

And he trotted a few steps, stopped the coachman, took out a piece of ocean, the other party changed his face, and put a towel on his shoulder: "Where is the uncle going?"

"Take me wherever you gather on weekdays. ”

"Then you don't need to ask, the painting boat on the Suzhou Creek, the warbler singing and dancing, sleepless all night, there are the most people, and most of our people are waiting on the shore to facilitate pick-up. ”

"Okay, you'll take me there. ”

When they arrived at their destination, the painting boat had not yet docked, and the coachmen gathered in the open space on the shore, each camping, their black and thin, with white towels on their shoulders, and their eyes shrewdly looked at him, in this gloomy clearing, like a scribbled black and white painting.

This person had just turned around in the middle of them, and before he could all look at it, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Protection fee, protection fee, pay it quickly." ”

He looked back and saw a small back, with five or six attendants, kicking an old coachman who was asleep.

The coachman was kicked awake, and honestly took out a few pieces of the ocean, trembling and holding them in his hands, and his little back was impatient, and without waiting for him to hand it over, he snatched it, put it in his pocket, and went to kick another coachman.

This man, with a broken hat covering his face and yellowed gloves on his hands, touched his body, touched it for a while, and took out a few pieces of ocean and handed it over.

The little back glanced at it and raised his voice: "Not enough, not enough, there are still two pieces missing." ”

The hat-breaker waved his hand, indicating that he was really gone.

Xiao Beitou didn't believe it: "They can make up enough, why can't you hand it over every time...... What are you doing with your chest covered, what are you protecting, I'll see!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled his clothes, pulled them twice, and his eyes lit up: "There are still two oceans, you dare to hide them and not give them, you take them out for me......"

"These two pieces must not be given!" cried the coachman.

"If you don't give it to you, you will die. The little back grabbed the clothes and did not let go, and the attendants did not need to command, so they naturally came forward and surrounded the coachman, but they heard the crackling, the sound of punching and kicking.

The person who came just now listened to the voice of the coachman, he was already stunned, and now he saw that he was surrounded, and he was so anxious that he wanted to call others for help, but there was an indifferent face in front of him, and he knew that it was useless to ask for help, so he hugged the cloth bag tightly, and rushed forward without saying anything.

He had no combat power, so he could only use himself as a meat pad and protect the coachman with his flesh and blood.

A punch and a kick smashed on his back, and his mouth was fishy, but he hugged the person under him and never let go.

At this moment, a painting boat docked, and the surrounding people rushed over like a swarm.

The little back was afraid of causing trouble, so he raised his hand and waved, and the followers quickly dispersed.

The two of them were lying on the ground, and the people who swarmed up squeezed past them, and if they couldn't squeeze through, they stepped on them, and finally, everyone passed, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

The man wiped his lips, coughed twice, and seeing that the large army of guests was about to return, he quickly got up and helped the people around him to the uninhabited alley.

In the dark alleyway, he held the other party's face, looked at it for a long time, and there were some abrasions on his face, but he protected it in time, there was no big problem, he put his heart at ease, rolled out two lines of tears, trembling and about to kneel: "Childe, I finally found you." ”

The other party pulled it in time, looked at him for a while before he saw it clearly, and exclaimed in disbelief: "Cheng Quan?"

"It's me, Childe, I've been looking for you for years. Cheng Quan's voice was trembling, "I don't dare to inquire blatantly, I can only ask secretly, secretly search, but I can't find it, I'm going to die in a hurry." ”

When the Cheng family was executed, he escaped death because he left early, he was just the housekeeper of the Cheng Mansion, and there was no order to kill him, he escaped when he escaped, and he didn't have to hide in Tibet, but he did what he had done for the Cheng Mansion for half his life, and he was entrusted by Lord Cheng, but he couldn't just leave.

He looked for Cheng Yiheng for five years, because Cheng Yiheng was a fugitive to be arrested, and he couldn't look for it openly, and he knew that he should not be in Xuncheng anymore, and he should expand the scope to find him, but he didn't expect that he would be in the bottom ranks in the eyes of this people, doing things that were completely inconsistent with his physical strength and ability.

Cheng had expected his misfortune and let him leave before the accident, he remembered that before leaving, Cheng clearly said that Cheng Yiheng had a lot of money there, and it was enough for the rest of his life.

Master Cheng also left something for Cheng Yiheng, such a thing was in Cheng Quan's hands, and he looked for Cheng Yiheng everywhere just to give him such a thing.

However, in the past five years, Cheng Quan has completely found the wrong direction, he has looked for various luxury places, and he also came to these sixteen shops two years ago, but when he was looking for a painting boat, he asked the noble son, he would never have thought that his son-in-law would be here sweating profusely pulling the car.

He squeezed Cheng Yiheng's hand, saw that the mutilated fingers were covered with gray and black calluses, and couldn't help feeling distressed: "Son, what about your money, it's all lost...... You also know your situation, no one takes care of you, why don't you save some money, what are you doing with all that money?"

Love is deeply responsible, and after the distress, I can't help but complain.

"Nothing, just bought a painting. Cheng Yiheng withdrew his hand, moved it and said, "Don't ask this, I'm not dead anyway." ”

"I watched you grow up, how have you ever suffered all this?" Cheng Quan's heart was more uncomfortable than death, he should have taken him to wash up, eat a good meal, and settle a good place to live, but his back was faintly painful when he was beaten just now, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he felt like vomiting, which made him anxious, and decided not to talk nonsense, took out an envelope wrapped in cowhide from the cloth bag that he had been clenching, and handed it to Cheng Yiheng: "This is what the master left for you." ”

Cheng Yiheng opened it and saw that it was a piece of paper, the handwriting on it was not clear in the dark night, and he could only catch a glimpse of a red seal when he looked at the moonlight.

"What is it?" he asked.

"Passes. Cheng Quan saw that he couldn't see clearly, so he put it back in a brown paper bag for him and stuffed it under his clothes, "You take it well, this is very rare, the master took a lot of effort to get it, with this, you can go abroad, when you go abroad, you will not be a fugitive, you will no longer have to hide in Tibet, and you can live an open and honest life in the future." ”

"Going abroad?" Cheng Yiheng's eyes widened, "Can this still be used now?"

"Yes, this is permanent, but there is only one chance, you can't come back when you go out, if you come back and want to go, this is useless, going abroad is not such a simple thing, you must not waste this opportunity." Cheng Quan clutched his chest and frowned.

After thinking about it, he took out the money bag from another burden and handed it to him without hesitation: "Son, since you have no money, then I will give you my money, although it is far less than what the master left you, but it is enough for a while, you will ...... Just save a little. ”

"I can't use your ......"

"Take it, be polite to me, I have a home, I don't have money, I'll go home, what about you, you are in China, in Xuncheng, there is no home, you go quickly, live well after going abroad, never come back, little ...... Farewell to Childe. ”

Cheng Quan said and knelt down, his heart was blocked, and he wanted to shed tears.

Cheng Yiheng wanted to pull him, but he refused to get up, so Cheng Yiheng had to accept this worship for life.

After he kowtowed, he didn't stand up, pushed Cheng Yiheng's leg weakly, and said intermittently: "I feel uncomfortable, I don't want to see you, son, you go first, I'll get up when I leave." ”

"Why?"

"Don't ask, let's go. He was in a hurry and pushed him forward, "Hurry up!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go, don't be angry. Cheng Yiheng was pushed inexplicably, he took a few steps forward, the dark alley couldn't see the other party's face clearly, sighed deeply, he turned around and bowed to the kneeling person, "Thank you, for so many years, only you remember me." ”

Cheng Quan smiled and waved at him: "Let's go, goodbye, don't look back, be obedient!"

Cheng Yiheng nodded, bent his legs, and kowtowed to him, then got up and strode forward.

The people behind him looked at him with a smile, until they saw him turn a corner and walk away completely, he was finally relieved, stroked his chest, his face turned blue, and fell straight forward, his cheeks hit the dust on the ground, and he was already out of breath.

That night, Cheng Yiheng left Shanghai.

He looked at the pass in the light, and after a moment of rubbing over the words "permanent", he turned his head.

"Since it's valid forever, don't delay for a few days. "If I never come back, at least the people I should say goodbye to," he thought. ”

That night, he set foot on the road back to Xuncheng.

In the past, Cheng Mansion has now changed its door, he doesn't even recognize it, Huai'an previously replaced his father's official position, and he was dismissed some time ago, he knows about it.

Since there is a change of person, Cheng Mansion is for him, there is nothing to remember, and there are still people who miss it, and they are not in Cheng Mansion.

He hibernated for a day, and in the dead of night, he put on his coat and came to Meng's house.

After walking around the door of Meng's house, thinking about his identity, he knew that he couldn't go in directly from the main entrance, and began to make other ideas.

When he used to play with Huai'an, the two of them didn't know how to do business, opportunistic things were the best at it, and for the method of entering and exiting Meng's house, he and Huai'an had a good idea, and they had no teacher.

Groping the courtyard wall of the Meng Mansion, he estimated his ability, shook his head, sighed, but didn't want to give up, wandered a few steps, and suddenly remembered something.

In the past, in order to escape his father's scolding, he ran to Meng's house to take refuge, at that time, Cheng Quan brought people to find him, Huai'an asked him to climb the wall to go out, the wall he climbed was very high at that time, but Huai'an was at the bottom of the bottom, and he could barely climb over, of course, now there is naturally no one at the bottom, but he remembered Huai'an's words at that time.

Huai'an said that the backyard where his fourth sister was located was relatively low, but at that time he was afraid of affecting his fourth sister's reputation, so he would rather be under the bottom than allow him to go over.

In other words, the backyard of the Meng Mansion can be turned in.

Cheng Yiheng found the entrance, complacent, he is forced by the situation now, as for Siqing's reputation, let's put it aside for now, anyway, he is just passing by, and he won't bother her.
