The sun is shining.

In a restaurant in a remote town, the four of Zu Zhenlin after the disguise ate ate here, and Zhao Ting chatted with the proprietress and inquired about the situation in Wanlin Town, Yan County.

The charm of the proprietress is still there, and she talks about it with relish, and she describes in detail the customs and customs she knows, but most of them are about Yanjun, the mulberries here are very famous, and when it comes to the season, everyone likes to try it in the past, but Zhao Ting They came at a bad time, and the time has passed. I am relatively unfamiliar with Wanlin Town, and I only know that there is such a place, but I don't know what is special.

When Zhao Ting heard that there was really a place in Wanlin Town, she couldn't help but let go of her hanging heart.

After the proprietress left, Li Cao was puzzled: "Wanlin Town? ”

Zu Zhenlin had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and blurted out: "Isn't Wanlin Town a place where Hu Tu lives?

Zhao Ting smiled: "Yes, when Hu Tu goes home, give him a surprise." ”

Li Cao doubted: "But we are not sure if Hu Tu is lying, since he was going to deal with us at that time, he shouldn't be telling the truth, right?"

Zhao Ting said: "That's why I wanted to lead Hu Tu into the trap at first, but who knew that he was too cunning and saw through our intentions, in order to avoid falling into his trap, I had to take this countermeasure." But I thought about it for a while, when Hu Tu took out the mulberries and introduced Wanlin Town, his tone was proud, he should have inadvertently said the address, and he didn't know about us, so he wouldn't lie casually, so as not to expose flaws and let us be wary of him, so I think he really lives in Wanlin Town, and now there is indeed such a place, which strengthens my thoughts. Of course, if I guess wrong, then we will miss the opportunity for revenge, and it will be almost impossible to find Hu Tu again, and we will have to return to the academy at that time, are you okay?"

Li Cao smiled: "Of course there is no opinion, this is the best solution at present." ”

Zu Zhenlin also agreed.

After the four of them finished eating, they checked out and hurried, and inquired all the way to Wanlin Town.

Wanlin Town is truly a town as its name suggests, located in the midst of dense forests. The town is very large, covering as much territory as a small city, but it has no walls. In addition to mulberry trees, there are many other fruit trees planted here, and there are many flowers and plants, attracting people from the neighborhood to buy and sell here. The reason for the lack of fame may be because Wanlin Town is located in the mountains, and the roads are difficult to navigate.

Zu Zhenlin and them pretended to be people to play and entered Wanlin Town, which is indeed a good place, surrounded by mountains and rivers. There are no restrictions on the town, and you can walk freely, of course, without disturbing the people. Unexpectedly, when entering a wide street, the ground is paved with bluestone as large as a bedboard, and after many years of trampling and crushing, it has already been as smooth as a mirror. When I looked up, I saw a lavishly built Hu Mansion with an extremely large area, and the servants in front of the door were swaggering and their nostrils were facing the sky.

Zu Zhenlin said softly: "It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

Zhao Ting smiled and said: "Maybe it's such a coincidence, let's see if there are any other people with the surname Hu." ”

The four of them walked around the big streets, and did not find Hu Mansion again, as for the simple hut in the alley, presumably as a place to live, Hu Tu would not condescend and wronged himself.

There are two inns in the town, and Zhao Ting chose the one that is farther away from the Hu Mansion in the house, so as not to bump into it by chance. Staying in the inn, Zhao Ting and Xiao Er knocked on the side of the town and asked about any strange and interesting things.

Xiao Er has long been accustomed to it, and introduced the interesting and beautiful places in the town like a few treasures, fortunately, there are really strange things in Hu Mansion.

Xiao Er's tone was full of admiration, "Don't look at the fat head and big ears, Lord Hu Tu seems to be very greedy, but he really doesn't say anything, he will give money, food and cloth every festival, and if he comes back from going out, he will give money for three days, and things are more abundant." ”

said, pointing to his shirt, "My dress is made of cloth given by Master Hutu, it is very strong, and it has not broken for three years." I also got a lot of good food from him, and I still drool when I think about it. Alas, it's a pity that you came late, if you come four days early, you can catch up with the last day of the charity activity in Hufu, and look at the excitement. ”

Zhao Ting's eyes lit up when she heard this.

Xiao Er continued: "But such a good person has no family, he is alone, sometimes this life is ......"

According to Xiao Er's account, Zhao Ting has already affirmed that Hu Mansion is Hu Tu's mansion. Xiao Er talked eloquently, could speak well, and after listening to him, Zhao Ting was a little drowsy, but fortunately, the shopkeeper called him something, so he interrupted his words. Zhao Ting didn't give him a heavy reward like when he was at the Su Yu Inn, and only gave him twenty yuan, so as not to make people notice the abnormality, from Xiao Er's words, it can be judged that Hu Tu is still very respected here.

Twenty Wen is actually a lot, enough to eat a big meal, but it is not a mountain delicacy, Xiao Er is satisfied, and he left unsatisfied.

Zhao Ting returned to the room and told Zu Zhenlin that he had inquired about the information from Xiao Er.

Zhao Ting smiled: "We bet right, and we were lucky that Hu Tu came back." ”

Zu Zhenlin nodded and said, "I didn't expect this Hu Tu to be very good at being a person, could it be that he has done too many bad things outside, and his conscience is uneasy, so he came back to do some good deeds and ask for peace of mind?"

Zhao Ting said softly: "Maybe, but who can tell people's hearts?"

Li Cao asked, "What should we do next?"

Zhao Ting said: "I want to explore the situation in Hu Mansion first, and then make plans." ”

Li Cao said with concern: "Won't it be too dangerous?"

Zhao Ting smiled and said: "If you want to take revenge, how can there be no danger? But since Hu Tu has gone home, there must be no helper by his side, so he can fight him openly." This time I went to investigate, just to confirm if it was as I thought. ”

Zu Zhenlin asked, "If it's confirmed, you won't do it directly, right?"

When Li Cao heard this, her eyes were full of worry.

Zhao Ting said lightly: "If the timing is right, why don't you do it?" In this way, my senior sister and I will go to explore the road tonight, and you will stay in the store." ”

Li Cao knew that he was dragging his feet, and there was a trace of chagrin in his eyes, but he didn't say anything more. Zu Zhenlin didn't object, but just said what he didn't say for Li Cao, reminding them to be more careful.

When night fell, the sky was overcast, Zhao Ting and Leng Xuefei went to the room and went to Hufu.

Zu Zhenlin came to Li Cao's room with two pots of wine and two dishes of side dishes, and Li Cao was sitting on the chair in a daze.

Zu Zhenlin invited: "Okay, don't think about it, let's have some wine together." ”

Li Cao came back to his senses and reluctantly joked: "Let the two girls go out on an adventure, let's drink here, isn't that okay?"

Zu Zhenlin handed a wine jug to Li Cao and said with a smile: "Those two girls are not ordinary people, they are much more powerful than us, so don't worry too much." And fought with Hu Tu twice, Miss Zhao did not fall behind, and the second time was in the case of Hu Tu's sneak attack. ”

Li Cao said depressedly: "Yes, it's useless to worry, I can't help much anyway." ”

After speaking, he picked up the flask and took a long sip of wine.

Zu Zhenlin looked at his brother and comforted: "Big brother, you won't still be entangled in dragging your feet, right?"

Li Cao said firmly: "I'm not entangled anymore, I clearly know that it's because of my lack of strength, so the two of us stay in the inn." But you don't have to worry about my state of mind, I'll only work harder to improve my strength in the future, and I'll just sigh for now. ”

Zu Zhenlin said: "That's good. ”

"Come, drink. ”
