In April, Huocheng ushered in a long rainy season. The drizzle has been falling intermittently for more than a dozen days since the beginning of the month, and there is no sign of stopping.

On April 20, six or seven children with oil-paper umbrellas came out of the Zhou clan school next to the Zhou Mansion in Xibei, they were almost the same six or seven years old, covered by the umbrella, like a few big mushrooms that were slowly moving forward.

A tall and fat child walked with a shy round belly, and said to his companion who was about to separate: "Zhou Quan, you remember to help me make up the picture with the puppy at night, otherwise, if my sister knows, she will definitely tear me up." ”。

The chorus of several friends immediately rang out. They don't know if Zhou Manyun, the sixth girl of Xinan's Xiaozhou Mansion, will really tear people, but since Zhou Kai, the tallest and strongest among his peers, is afraid of his sister like a mouse, they naturally have to follow suit.

The handsome boy who was confessed by Zhou Kai nodded seriously, not minding that he was being supported by his nephew. If you want to say that he can't make up for the pictures that Zhou Kai brought to class privately, but his father at home can, when it comes to calligraphy and painting framing in Huo City, his father's kung fu is one of the best.

The fat boy on the opposite side squinted his blue eyes and smiled, and his round little fingers pointed to an alley not far away, and said, "Then, I'll send you back!" ”

"No need! You still have to go back to Xinan. Zhou Quan's empty hand waved, holding an umbrella and running in the direction of home.

Suddenly, a man wearing a hat and wearing black clothes came to the little boy in the originally deserted alley, and he picked up the thin Zhou Quan and carried it on his shoulder, and the umbrella in Zhou Quan's hand fell to the ground with a snap. The child's screams immediately squeaked out like a chick being pinched by the throat.

A few of the children who had just moved away from the alley were stunned when they heard the voice. Just as they were on the ground, the man carrying Zhou Quan happened to run past them in the direction of the river embankment.

"Someone snatched Zhou Quan away!". Zhou Kai, who was practicing kung fu, was excited, and immediately pulled out his legs and chased after the figure in front of him, and the umbrella in his hand was also folded as a hidden weapon, and he threw it straight towards the back of the man in black.

The remaining children looked at each other, and their steps with Zhou Kai also began to chase while constantly shouting. There was a clever one who ran crookedly and slapped the knocker of the street gate.

Amid the screams of the children, two or three young men who seemed to have been prepared for a long time rushed out of a teahouse and surrounded the men who had snatched the children. The man gently put Zhou Quan aside. Then he punched and kicked the pursuers.

This person's arrogant momentum did not look weak, but after a while, it was still difficult to defeat two fists and four hands, and the besieged people were subdued to the ground in unison.

At this time, several children also ran over with their calves half a length shorter than adults. As soon as the leader Zhou Kai stood still, he smashed his clenched little fist into the face of the man on the ground, and shouted and scolded: "Let you bully children!" Master beat you to death! ”

Zhou Kai's attack was obviously unexpected by several righteous men who caught the thief, and some of them hurriedly rushed forward and grabbed Zhou Kai, who was about to fight again, and looked at the man with a face towel on the ground. There was sympathy in his eyes.

"Fourth Uncle Xing, it's you!" , Zhou Kai, who was full of indignation, turned his head to see the person who stopped him, and immediately screamed in surprise. Then the little hand pointed at the person on the ground reluctantly, and said, "Fourth uncle, we have to beat this bad guy to death!" ”

"Killed. Kill ......" a bunch of children immediately parroted and kept screaming. Zhou Quan, who was frightened just now, choked up even more. blushed.

Xing Laosi nodded, and approached the man in black lying on his stomach with a tense face. He raised his foot very imposingly and kicked it hard at the person on the ground. But the feet that covered the child's sight were extremely light, and he only gently knocked the body of the man in black with his feet.

The man in black who was kicked rolled on the ground, and the carp jumped up, pushed away a fat man who was very useless, and rushed straight towards the rainy river embankment, and disappeared in three strokes......

There are bad people in Huo City who specialize in kidnapping children!

In a short time, this news, which shocked the people with children, flew all over the city like wings.

Although he didn't catch the villain, Zhou Kai, who successfully saved his uncle, followed Xing Laosi and sent all his classmates back to his homes before returning to Xiaozhou's Mansion in Xinan.

"Sister! I beat up a bad guy today! As soon as he entered the Yingyuan, Zhou Kai threw himself into the arms of his sister Man Yun, and had to catch the thief for the first time.

"I'm just so hard, it's hitting him in the face, I guess it's going to be blue!"

Zhou Manyun looked at Zhou Kai, who was smug on his face, and his eyes fell on Xiao Man, who had just entered the room, and Xiao Man immediately smiled and nodded at her.

Man Yun couldn't help but wonder, Xiao Man, who was originally by her side as a big girl, was also a wife and mother two years earlier, and she was married to the Huzi brother she missed, and the little couple liked to run outside, so they stayed in Jiangbei to take care of the supply matters along the northbound line of the Shunyi boat.

This rare trip back to Huocheng, the opposite Qi Hu was fooled by Xing Laosi to be a "kidnapper". Zhou Kai is the tiger who was beaten, but the tigress who had probed her husband's injury in this compartment actually listened to the fairy tales and smiled heartlessly.

It was Manyun's idea to make a cameo appearance as a kidnapper.

In the previous life, the child who was kidnapped after more than half a year was Zhou Heng, the youngest son of Zhou Tong, Xibei Zhou Mansion, and the Xinan Xiao Zhou Mansion at that time was not affected at all.

The reason is also simple, Xiao Zhoufu was already afraid of Zhang Shaoxiong at that time, and only a letter would automatically send the property, while Zhou Tong was talking about the style of the literati, and when he received the notice from the state government to ask the squires from all over the country to donate money to suppress bandits, he only symbolically gave two thousand taels of silver. If you think there are no bandits in Huocheng, then the bandits will show you, the logic of bandits is sometimes so absurd.

After all, the Zhou family has limited manpower, and they can't take care of the whole city, Man Yun is not sure of this life, and people really only look at Zhou Heng.

Empty-mouthed and white-toothed to persuade the people of Xibei Zhou Mansion and Huocheng to be careful of the bandits who have not yet appeared, most of them can't attract people's attention, and only those in Xiao Zhoufu are good at worrying about the sky. Not everyone can believe someone else's words without reason.

Therefore, Zhou Manyun proposed to let others tie up a child first, so that the people of Huocheng were nervous.

In Man Yun's eyes, Xiao Zhou Kai is the most expensive meat ticket, and she also wants to try her brother's reaction. But in the eyes of the non-professional kidnapper Qi Hu, even if Zhou Kai is worth it, he is not worth carrying the fat man who is tired. And he watched it for two days and finally chose Zhou Quan, but among the children who played well with Zhou Kai, this one weighed the lightest.

After some tossing, looking at Zhou Kai's performance is good. But when Manyun got into the small quilt, he still sat on the edge of the bed and said seriously: "Brother Kai, in fact, you can't just blindly fight when you encounter bandits, do you think that if you don't have the help of the fourth uncle, you can beat that bad guy?" Sister will tell you the story of a smart boy who escaped from a kidnapper......"

The little fat man listened, yawned a few times, and closed his eyes. The excitement of chasing thieves during the day made him jump up and down for a long time, and at night, his body naturally couldn't stand it.

Zhou Manyun, who was only halfway through the story, stood up with a little regret.

Fortunately, although Zhou Kai slept without giving face, judging from the news from his cousin Zhou Chen, a fake kidnapping was still very effective. Chuanfang Academy and the Zhou clan immediately reacted, and a series of rules were reaffirmed, and the school protection team led by the Xiao Zhou Mansion also received unanimous support from the clan.

Zhou Manyun's mood suddenly improved completely. She was just a cautious ordinary woman, and she preferred this kind of tight protection by the whole city to the hero who turned the tide after the fact, even if no one knew what she had done.

The news of the kidnappers suddenly appeared in Huocheng, which also stunned the bandits who stayed in Liupanyan, and while sending people to deliver the report to the Hezhou capital, they began to secretly investigate where the flower shooting party came from, and actually robbed the business before they did it, and they also messed up.

On the fifth day of May, the lively Dragon Boat Festival in Huocheng also had more sense of order than in previous years, although the Zhou clan's self-organized guard team cooperated with the county officials to protect it, most of the families still restrained their children from going out to prevent accidents.

If in the past, being held alone in the house like this, Xue Suyun would definitely feel crazy. But at this time, she sat under the carved window, holding a plain wrist and writing a letter, showing her demure and dignified.

Xue Sujun scoffed at Huo Cheng's chaos during this time, because in a few days, her father would take her to the Hezhou capital. In this courtyard in Huocheng, Xue Jinjun originally told Yaren that the whole house was elegant and simple, so it was easier to find, but the house in Hezhou Mansion was personally helped by Zhang Shaoxiong, and it was more difficult to get it down.

But during the month he stayed in Huocheng, Zhang Shaoxiong also specially sent a mother from Tianxiangyuan over, which shows that he values himself. Xue Suyun smiled proudly and took away the zuihou on the letterhead.

"Mother Wang, I've written it, you can take a look." Xue Sujun held a piece of flower paper that had not yet dried the ink in front of a woman about thirty or forty years old.

The middle-aged woman with a plain face took the letter, read it from beginning to end, raised her hands, and tore the letter to shreds.

"Mom!" , Xue Suyun didn't dare to be angry, so he had to whisper his dissatisfaction with tears.

"The writing is good, but there is still some worldly humility, so Miss Su'er should think about it and write it again. To be the kind of person who is faintly proud of his grievances, as soon as you send out this parting letter, it must be so that the man who sees this letter will definitely come out according to your requirements after reading it. Wang's mother said coldly with her hands in her hands.

"Mom! That Gao Wei is just a young man living in the Zhou family, only fourteen. In the past, he only wrote a few words casually, and he would cheer for him......"

"The past is the past, I have said since the day I taught you, stop pretending to be a careless little girl. You are the first woman in Jiangnan who will be sought after by thousands of talents, and you are a woman with charm and charm. Since this surnamed Gao used to be easy to crutch, you should try to make an ......appointment with him in a woman's way and tone" (to be continued......
