Ling Chusi took a boat all the way to Yangzhou City.

Because it was winter and the trip was all the way north, the clothes on Ling Chusi's body gradually changed from a very light and flowing light-colored thin shirt at the beginning to a thick clothes wrapped in plush edges.

In addition to the first few days, there were still some people in the teahouse and restaurant who were talking about the small village outside Yangzhou that was burned down by the rebellious peasants, and after a period of time, the matter was quickly snubbed, and almost no one cared about it.

Ling Chusi came to Yangzhou City again, it has been three years since the last trip, and now it seems that it can be regarded as a revisit.

In the food stall near the south gate of Yangzhou City, all kinds of food restaurants are still open, and even those shops with thriving business, except for the signboard hanging in front of the door, add a little bit of time to the passage of time and the baptism of time, but there is no change at all.

The last time he came to Yangzhou City, Ling Chusi didn't stay for a long time, so many of the local signature dishes hadn't had time to try yet.

The vegetable and meat buns in Lao Feng's steamed bun shop had already been tasted by Ling Chusi three years ago, so he naturally chose another store this time.

Wei Zhenzhen, who was busy selling vegetable and meat buns on the stall at the door of the steamed bun shop, tilted her head slightly, and when she gently wiped the sweat beads on her forehead with her sleeve, her sleeves just half covered her face.

It was precisely because Wei Zhenzhen was still tilting her head sideways that her gaze just fell on Ling Chusi's waist who was trying to pass through the crowd.

- That delicate and delicate ape bone flute, except for Ling Chusi, Wei Zhenzhen has never seen it in the second person.

Wei Zhenzhen's movements were almost subconscious.

She looked at Ling Chusi, who was about ten years old at this time, still with a small back.

Even after three years, she still recognized it at a glance, it was the girl who helped her back then!

Wei Zhenzhen's heart was shocked, standing in front of the bun shop, and she was slightly distracted. It wasn't until the guest who bought the bun laughed and coaxed that Wei Zhenzhen came back to her senses instantly, responded with a smile, and then continued to be busy with the work in her hands, but in her heart, she couldn't help but ponder Ling Chusi's sudden appearance.

As for Ling Chusi's side, he seemed to walk around in Yangzhou City leisurely, and found that the ordinary people in Yangzhou City rarely talked about the destruction of the small village outside Yangzhou City a few days ago......

Ling Chu thought about it, and still felt that if he couldn't find any clues on the surface in Yangzhou City, he would probably have to go to the destroyed village outside the city in person.

Ling Chusi, who had made up his mind, was just about to turn around and go to an inn next to him to find a guest room to live in, and eat something in it by the way. As a result, among the sparse pedestrians on the street, a teenager suddenly walked crookedly and recklessly bumped into him.

Although that boy looked stronger than Ling Chusi, Ling Chusi's internal skills were superb, how could an ordinary child hit her?

Ling Chusi almost unconsciously turned sideways slightly, but then stopped and stood there, slightly frowning as the little boy quickly stretched out his hand towards the position of the purse jade pendant he was wearing on his waist.

In fact, Kou Zhong himself was a little dumbfounded.

With his current knowledge, it was really difficult to understand why when he stretched out his hand, Ling Chusi's position seemed to move half a step to the side out of thin air. When Kou Zhong couldn't strike and quickly withdrew his hand, his little action still fell into Ling Chusi's eyes.

"Thief?" Ling Chusi raised his eyebrows slightly and said softly.

Although Kou Zhong never expected to touch the jade pendant on the body of a teenage girl, he could also meet the hard stubble, this little girl was dressed in gorgeous clothes trimmed with white and red trims, and there was a layer of snow-white plush fur on the neck, cuffs, and placket, which looked very warm, not to mention, it felt soft and comfortable on the skin, of course, it was also obvious at a glance, and there was a high price......

After his gaze met Ling Chusi's, he saw the surprise and astonishment in the other party's eyes, but there was no panicked appearance, Kou Zhong immediately made a decision, turned around and ran without hesitation.

Ling Chusi's feet moved slightly, he had already performed light skills, and followed effortlessly, suddenly blocking in front of Kou Zhong, and smiled lightly: "Tsk, don't you learn well at a young age?" ”

Ling Chusi didn't think about the little beggar at first, after all, although the clothes on Kou Zhong's body had some traces of dust, they were quite neat on the whole, and Kou Zhong's face was still white and pure.

Kou Zhong still wanted to run, but Ling Chusi had already grabbed the collar at the back of his neck, and while easily dragging the person to a remote position in the corner of the wall, he said lightly: "The three kinds of people who can't be offended the most in the rivers and lakes are the elderly, women, and children. After a pause, Ling Chusi said subtly in surprise: "You actually dare to steal from me......

Listening to Ling Chusi's theory, Kou Zhong was still a little puzzled.

Kou Zhong was dragged away by Ling Chusi's collar, but he really couldn't break free, and later, he was completely unilaterally listening to Ling Chusi talk about the so-called "bullshit" truth, and after spending a long time but to no avail, he began to shout again: "I don't even know you, why don't I dare to steal from you!?" ”

"Because you're going to get caught by me!" Ling Chusi replied quite naturally, and directly choked back all the words that Kou Zhong didn't say, and then touched his chin and smiled very leisurely and calmly: "Children should play at home obediently, and run out to steal things......

Ling Chusi snorted in a low voice, and whispered to Kou Zhong: "Unless your light skills have been practiced to the top level and can escape from my hands, otherwise, wouldn't the more proud you are, the more miserable ......you will be when you turn around and be approached by someone?" ”

Kou Zhong, who originally wanted to distinguish a few words, finally realized with a pale face that Ling Chusi's words were threatening.

Thinking of this, thinking of Xu Ziling, who was still waiting for him at home, Kou Zhong's eyes quickly became firm, Ling Chusi's hand was released, and Kou Zhong had already pounced on the ground without hesitation, taking advantage of his current age, so he cried in front of Ling Chusi and said apologies, guilt, and never dared again, but it didn't seem too abrupt.

"......" The corners of Ling Chusi's eyes twitched slightly, looking at Kou Zhong's appearance of being so good at singing and writing at a young age, and watching Kou Zhong play monkey shows here, for a while, he was a little speechless.

After Kou Zhong performed for most of the day, he finally glanced at Ling Chusi secretly, and saw that the other party was tilting his head slightly, looking at him with a look of desire to speak, but that kind of look at the play didn't seem to be moved by himself, and he felt cold in his heart.

Just when Kou Zhong was still worried that he should get out like this, he had even begun to think to himself in his heart, if he really couldn't do it, he could only be beaten up by this somewhat powerful little girl and then run away......

Unexpectedly, at this time, Ling Chusi suddenly came back to his senses, looked at him in some surprise, blinked his dark eyes, and said curiously: "-Wait, you just said that your parents at home unfortunately died, and you have to take your younger brother to live alone, after the village was burned down by bandits, you don't even have a place to live now, you can only shelter in an old house that will collapse at any time?" ”

Kou Zhong nodded hesitantly.

Although Kou Zong is young, this kind of unscrupulous temperament has already begun to emerge. Although the deaths of Kou Niangzi and Uncle Kou weighed heavily on his heart, when necessary, no matter how painful and sad his heart was, at least on the surface, Kou Zhong did not stick to the fact that the other party was his father and mother, so he hid it in his heart and did not dare to speak, but did not miss any opportunity to show weakness to Ling Chusi, hoping that she could soften her heart for a while and let herself go......

Ling Chusi looked at the teenage child in front of him, and suddenly smiled a little dumbly, this can be called stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get it!

Ling Chusi was still thinking about how he was going to investigate the people outside Yangzhou City who wanted to revolt, or simply said that they were bandits, but as a result, a village that was originally said to have no living mouths actually appeared with at least two children who survived!

"Does your family live in that village outside Yangzhou?" Ling Chusi asked bluntly.

Kou Zhong nodded more and more hesitantly, originally wanted to make up a random place and deceive Ling Chusi, after all, he was afraid that after he told the truth, he would also involve Xu Ziling and fall into the hands of this girl who was absolutely not easy to mess with.

However, after meeting her particularly calm eyes, Kou Zhong himself felt weak again......

A gentle smile suddenly bloomed on Ling Chusi's lips, and he said briskly, "Take me to the village where your family is located!" I won't send you to the government. ”

Kou Zhong suddenly panicked in his heart, and wanted to shirk the prevarication: "There is a fire all over the place, a pile of ashes, there is nothing to see......"

Ling Chusi couldn't help but think of Daoxiang Village, which was also destroyed in the flames, and couldn't help but twist his eyebrows and muttered, "Why do you like to set fires......"

Kou Zhong didn't hear the latter sentence clearly, and was stunned, "What did you say?" ”

Ling Chusi shook his head, immediately put away his smile, and calmly but unexpectedly ordered, "Take me over!" ”
