Shu Lao's home is in Kyoto's Old Eight Alleys, which is one of the few remaining old streets and alleys.

Tang Ding has been here several times before, and he is familiar with the road.

Shu Lao's home, there is an old copper lock hanging on the door, Tang Ding took a closer look, and it turned out to be the three-ring card from Yancheng.

However, it is said to be an old copper lock, but it is not an antique, but it has been used for a long time. A thin layer of ash fell on the lock, and Tang Ding heard that Shu Lao should have gone back to Kyoto two months ago, and then flew from Kyoto to the United States, but the smog in Kyoto was too heavy, and it was only two months, as if he hadn't come back to live for two years.

Although he did not enter the courtyard, Tang Ding remembered every grass and tree in Shu Laoxiao's courtyard, as if his apprenticeship was just yesterday.

Before, in order to accept himself as an apprentice, Shu Lao also specially found a few people to help him out.

It can be said that Tang Ding remembered Shu Lao's good intentions.

Shu Lao was originally scheduled for a month's trip, but he hasn't come back for more than two months, something must have happened, otherwise Tang Ding wouldn't feel uncomfortable when he thought of Shu Lao.

I should probably take a trip to the United States.

Tang Ding's regrets are enough, and he doesn't want Shu Lao to leave him with lifelong regrets.

After Tang Ding came out of Lao Ba Lane, he took a taxi directly and went straight to the airport.

On the way, Tang Ding asked someone to help him check the destination city of Xia Shu's old passport.

Before Tang Ding arrived at the airport, Shu Lao's destination city had already been sent over, Detroit.

Tang Ding bought the ticket directly at the airport, and the operator who printed it also made a point to confirm with Tang Ding twice whether his destination was correct. Tang Ding was very surprised.

Until takeoff, there were only a handful of people on this flight.

Of course, these Tang Ding saw it, but he didn't care.

Detroit, the former Motor City of the United States,

Detroit, located in the northeastern United States, is the largest city in Michigan, is a famous automobile center and music capital, of course, these are all seen by Downing from the propaganda coloring page behind the plane seat, and Downing noticed the big words "bankrupt city" on the coloring page.

Can the city still go bankrupt? Tang Ding was a little incredulous.

The plane landed at Detroit's Wayne International Airport, and Downing could see that the people who got off the plane were hurrying and bowing their heads.

Although Tang Ding was also anxious about the whereabouts of the teacher, it was useless to be anxious, because he could not find out the whereabouts of the more specific teacher.

However, fortunately, Tang Ding had a piece of jade paperweight in his hand that he had taken at the teacher's house.

Tang Ding knew that this piece of jade paperweight was an old object that the teacher had used for decades, so it was contaminated with too much of the teacher's breath, and Tang Ding could only hope to find the whereabouts of the teacher with this paperweight.

After sitting in the airport waiting hall for a while, Tang Ding sensed it with his heart, and really sensed the teacher's location through this paperweight.

Tang Ding was overjoyed, and when he got out of the airport, he immediately stopped a taxi.

The driver was black, and Downing noticed that most of the people walking on the street were black.

Downing's English is quite good, and although his British pronunciation is a little different from the American pronunciation, there is no barrier to communication.

Downing pointed out the direction in which direction the black taxi driver was going, and sat in the car with his eyes closed to sense the change in the direction of the teacher and the position of the street.

The climate in Detroit is a bit muggy, and although Tang Ding has already reached the realm of not being afraid of cold and heat, Tang Ding is still willing to feel the changes of the four seasons like normal people.

While waiting for the traffic light, although Tang Ding closed his eyes, he still felt that someone was approaching the taxi he was taking, and reached in front of the car window, reaching out to grab the plastic bag in Tang Ding's hand.

This plastic bag is the food and water that Tang Ding bought at the airport convenience store before taking off, but there is a supply of drinks and food on the plane, so the food prepared by Tang Ding is not used, and Tang Ding, who is usually thrifty, did not lose this bag of things after getting off the plane, and kept mentioning it to the taxi.

When he felt the man's hand, he grabbed his bag and quickly pushed it out of the window.

It's just food and water, so Tang Ding didn't stop it, just let this person take it away. And Tang Ding could feel that this person was a young child, he might be hungry and needed to find food, so Tang Ding also pushed the boat down the river and let him take it.

But after snatching Tang Ding's food, the child probably saw Tang Ding's weakness and bullying, and still had no intention of stopping, so the other hand touched Tang Ding's pocket again, obviously taking the food and asking for money.

For such an inch of people, of course Tang Ding will not be polite, his fingers turned up, lightning on the child's wrist Neiguan acupoint, this, Tang Ding used a little internal strength, of course, for ordinary people, this point of internal strength, is enough for him to eat a pot.

In severe pain, the black child withdrew his hand like lightning, hugged his wrist, and exhaled, "Hiss, Fake." ”

At this moment, the green light came on, and the taxi driver stepped on the accelerator, and the car flashed out like lightning, and it was obvious that he had been waiting for the green light for a long time.

"In Detroit in the future, when parking, you must raise the glass of the car, I will remind every passenger who gets on the bus before, but many people don't care, but when they are robbed, they will take the initiative to raise the glass, and then even if I don't need to remind them, they will also raise the glass when they take the car, I haven't reminded for many years, but you still got hit. ”

The taxi driver saw that Tang Ding didn't speak and asked, "Are you Japanese?"

"Oh, why do you say that?"

"Because you are very courageous, if you are Chinese, I am afraid that you do not have the courage like you, even if you encounter a robbery, you can not change your face and heartbeat." The taxi driver didn't see the scene where Dondin had just flipped his hand and hit the black boy's wrist, because Dondin's movements were too fast.

"I am Chinese. Tang Ding said lightly.

In fact, what surprised the taxi driver the most was not Tang Ding's courage, but his deep bearing, although the robbery he had just experienced was only a pediatric in Detroit, but ordinary people were generally afraid when they encountered this kind of thing, but Tang Ding's indifferent bearing, as if he had never encountered anything.

"This place, turn left. Tang Ding's opening effectively stopped the gossip of the taxi and corrected the direction.

The ruin of Detroit was beyond Downing's expectations, and he couldn't help but think of the four conspicuous big characters on the color page he saw on the plane: Bankrupt City.

Although Detroit has a number of high-rise buildings, the most impressive thing is the deep streets, littered, dilapidated and sparsely populated.

Through the chatter of the taxi driver, Downing also got a general idea of the current situation in Detroit, which is indeed what he saw.

How can a teacher live in such a city?

Although Tang Ding is not afraid of such a life, but the teacher is an intellectual after all, and he is powerless, will he be used to living in such a city?
