The oil lamp was lit, and the room was empty, except for a worn-out bed and an old chest, no bricks on the floor, and a table and two benches by the door.

"Uncle Junior, will it be on the roof beam?" Sun Xiaozhen pointed upward.

Guo Song shook his head, he knew Ganyu's habit of hiding things, and he liked to dig the ground and bury things, but there were at least twenty square meters in the house, where would he bury them?

Guo Song walked to the side of the bed, the fourth senior brother usually sleeps on a rope, so what is this bed doing here?

He lifted the bed hard, leaned against the wall, and stepped on the muddy ground under the bed with his feet, he suddenly squatted down and dug up by the wall with a chisel, and Sun Xiaozhen also surrounded him, squatting aside with an oil lamp.

After digging two feet deep, there was nothing, Sun Xiaozhen couldn't help but say: "It's not so deep, it's impossible to have it again." ”

Guo Song sneered, what kind of person is Ganyu, he always has to dig three feet into the ground to bury things.

When he dug to a depth of three feet, there was still nothing, but Guo Song was more confident, he dug until now, there was not a single stone, not a single root, not even a lump of soil, all of it was fine soil, and it was strange that there was nothing underneath.

Sun Xiaozhen's lips moved, but she still held back, and when she dug to five feet, she only listened to 'Dangchang!' With a sound, Sun Xiaozhen exclaimed, "There you have!" ”

Guo Song glared at him and pointed to the window, "You go and see outside, is there any movement?" ”

Sun Xiaozhen reluctantly pulled her eyes out of the pit, walked to the window, and looked out with a slit, "There is no one outside!" ”

Guo Song has found the things in the deep pit, it is a very heavy iron box, the size of a green brick, he went down to the pit and touched it, and touched a stone, that's right, this is Ganyu's habit, if there is nothing under the box, it means that there is something underneath, if there is a stone, then there is no below, there is only this iron box.

As soon as Guo Song jumped on the ground, his face suddenly changed, he jumped towards the window, grabbed Sun Xiaozhen's neck, and dragged him out, only to hear 'Boom!' With a thud, the mud wall next to the pit toppled over, and the entire roof collapsed.

Guo Song picked up Sun Xiaozhen and ran outside, until he ran to the side of the wall, climbed over the wall, jumped onto the street, there was a curfew on the street, there was no one, they climbed the big tree again, and turned into the north of the Chase Fang.

Datongfang is not a slum area, there are high-walled mansions everywhere, Sun Xiaozhen was frightened for a while, leaned against the wall of the fang and took a long breath, "Master buried things, and actually shook the foundation." ”

"Maybe it was a trap deliberately set by your master to bury the person who dug the pit directly."

"That.... Didn't that bury me? ”

Guo Song sneered, "You would dig such a deep pit?" ”

Sun Xiaozhen scratched her head, "No, I'll dig a foot at most and give up." ”

"Let's go! Find a small inn to live in, I'll see what the box is first? ”

"You don't need to look for an inn, I have a friend who lives in this place, let's go to his house."

In front of them was the high wall of a mansion, they walked along the high wall, when passing by the back door, Guo Song glanced at the sign above the back door, under the moonlight, Guo Song could see very clearly, the sign said 'Guo Fu'.

Guo Song was stunned for a moment, "Xiao Zhen, whose mansion is this mansion?" ”

"Let me think!"

Sun Xiaozhen scratched her head, "It seems that Guo Ziyi's mansion is in Datongfang, it should be here." ”

It turned out that this mansion covering a vast area was Guo Ziyi's mansion, he thought about it, the name card Guo Ziyi gave him, isn't the address on it Datongfang?

It's really a coincidence today, and I actually met Guo Ziyi for the second time.

Guo Song restrained the urge to knock on the door, he had something in his hand, so let's come back another day!

Sun Xiaozhen's friends went to the army, but his parents knew Sun Xiaozhen and arranged for them to live in a guest room.

"Your friend's family is not bad!" Guo Song looked at the room and said.

The rooms are also well furnished, with all kinds of furniture, and there is a copper incense burner with a beast's head in the corner.

"That is, his family is a butcher, and he runs a shop to sell meat, and he is relatively rich."

Guo Song took out the iron box from his arms, and Sun Xiaozhen hurriedly stepped forward, his eyes full of curiosity.

Guo Song used a chisel to pry open the lid of the iron box, and was stunned for a moment, there was actually a yellow and clear gold box inside, no wonder it was so heavy, and it was a gold box inside.

Guo Song took out the gold box and checked it, it weighed about three catties, and there were more than a dozen broken silver ingots under the iron box, adding up to about thirty or forty taels, Guo Song happened to be short of money in his pocket, he directly put the silver ingots into his arms, and Sun Xiaozhen next to him rolled his eyes, those silver must have been saved by the master at the beginning.

"Interesting!" Guo Song suddenly smiled.

"Uncle Junior, what's interesting?" Sun Xiaozhen asked with wide eyes.

Guo Song said with a smile: "This gold box is integrated and is directly cast. ”

"Is it just a piece of gold?"

"It's not!"

Guo Song handed him the gold box, "It's empty inside, there are things in it, you can shake it yourself." ”

Sun Xiaozhen took the gold plaque and looked at it over and over again for a long time, but he didn't find any gaps, it was really cast in one piece, he shook it lightly, and there was indeed something shaking inside.

"Uncle Junior, do you want to cut it?"

Guo Song shook his head, "The things inside must be very important, and they are related to your master's life, so it's best not to open them." ”

Sun Xiaozhen scratched her head, "Uncle Xiao, I don't understand a little, if something happens to Master, I don't know about this situation, won't this thing become an unsolvable secret and sleep underground?" ”

Guo Song smiled faintly, "Why does your master want you to go as far as possible, if you are not in Chang'an, no one will solve this secret, and they will not dare to kill your master, if you are arrested, give out that mud house, and the things are found by them, then your master will really die." ”

Sun Xiaozhen's spirits perked up, "Then my master is still alive!" ”

"It should still be alive, or it is hiding somewhere, or it is being caught and imprisoned somewhere."

Guo Song saw that Sun Xiaozhen's face was full of worry, and comforted him again: "We have to make the priority clear, if your master just hides in other places, and we rashly hit the door to save people, we were caught by the other party, and used us as hostages to threaten your master to hand over the things, but the gain outweighs the loss."

Take a step back and say, even if your master is caught, as long as the things are in our hands, your master will be fine for the time being, at this time, we can't be impatient, wait and see. ”

"Uncle Junior, we have to do something, right?"

Guo Song thought for a while and said: "You go to the Huben Martial Arts Pavilion tomorrow to sign up for martial arts, and inquire about the person surnamed Mao, I estimate that he is also the head of the martial arts hall, but you must not act rashly, if there is any situation, I will come to you." ”

........

Early the next morning, Guo Song sent Sun Xiaozhen home, and he returned to the Taoist temple, hid the golden box, and waited for the changes.

The three days passed peacefully, during which he went to Wubenfang to look for Li An, but Li An happened to go out.

Early that morning, there was a commotion behind the Taoist temple, which woke up Guo Song who was meditating, and he put on his coat and went out, only to find the fierce son hovering in the sky, making angry chirps.

He hurriedly whistled, and the fierce son retracted his wings and landed on his shoulder, and scratched it twice with his sharp claws, and with a 'snort', Guo Song's scribe's shirt was torn open with a big gap, and he just got up and forgot to protect the skin on his shoulder.

Not only was his shirt torn, but his shoulder was also scratched with two long blood marks.

Guo Song glared at Mengzi angrily, "I don't know what to say about you, I just have this decent dress, and you will destroy it for me." ”

At this time, Qingfeng ran over and said with a smile: "Uncle Shi, don't blame Mengzi for being angry, it's the woods behind that that have begun to be felled." ”

Mengzi has been living in the woods for the past few nights, and it turns out that his home has been destroyed, no wonder he is angry.

"Why don't you go out of town!"

Guo Song pointed to the guide and said to Mengzi: "That is Qujiang Pond over there, you go to find a towering tree to make a nest, if there is anything, I will call you with an eagle flute." ”

"Chirp-"

Mengzi tilted his head to look at him, Guo Song took out the eagle flute and showed it to it, and Mengzi suddenly flapped his wings and flew away, flying towards Qujiangchi in the southwest direction.

"Ahh

Qingfeng exclaimed, "Little uncle, Mengzi can actually understand what you are saying." ”

Guo Song smiled slightly: "The eagle is a spiritual animal, and after getting along for a long time, it will know what you are talking about, in fact, the same is true for dogs, a dog has been raised for more than five years, and it can understand what you say." ”

Qingfeng scratched his head and smiled: "I understand, in the future, I will let the master raise a dog to watch the Taoist temple." ”

Guo Song walked behind the Taoist temple, and Qingfeng chased after him and shouted, "Uncle Xiao, don't you have breakfast?" ”

"I'll talk about it later!"

Behind the Taoist temple is a pine forest, no one planted it, it grew by itself, and the senior brother said that it was originally a fast homestead, but it was empty for at least fifty years.

I saw that the woods behind were in full swing, dozens of people were busy sawing trees, and more than a dozen big pine trees had been cut down, and the senior brother Gan Feng was standing aside with a smile.

Guo Song stepped forward and asked, "Senior brother, why don't you buy the land for the abandoned City God Temple on the other side of the river?" ”

Gan Feng sighed, "I want to!" But that's official land, and if the government doesn't sell it, I can't do it. ”

"This pine forest is not official land?"

"This is private land, and the previous Taoist temple was originally a piece of land, and private transactions are OK, but the cutting of trees must be approved by the county government."

"If the county government doesn't approve the cutting of trees, won't the senior brother buy this piece of land for nothing?"

Gan Feng shook his head, "How can you not cut it!" I bought the land, the title deed is clearly written as a homestead, but not a forest land, I argued with reason, and the county government could only agree, but the condition was that the wood was handed over to the public, anyway, I don't want these trees, just give them to them. ”

"When will you start building the house?"

"Cut down these trees and start construction, I have found all the craftsmen, they came over yesterday to measure the land, not only can they repair the tower pavilion, but they can also build dozens of Taoist houses around it, I can recruit more disciples."

"Did they say how long it would take?"

"Anyway, it will take half a year at the earliest."

At this time, someone suddenly said behind him: "Senior brother, junior brother, you are all here!" ”

As soon as Guo Song turned around, he saw Gan Lei standing behind him, and he was immediately overjoyed, "When is Senior Brother here?" ”

"I arrived last night, I couldn't enter the city, I slept outside all night, and I entered the city early in the morning."

Gan Feng was also very happy, patting his arm, "You definitely didn't have breakfast, let's have breakfast together." ”

Gan Lei smiled, "It's still the senior brother who understands me!" ”

After breakfast, Guo Song took Gan Lei to his guest room, poured him a bowl of herbal tea, and asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law allowed you to come?" ”

"Your sister-in-law is also a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and I told her good things for two days, and she agreed that I would go hunting with you, provided that I was not allowed to fight with people."

Guo Song also fully understood Li Wenyu's good intentions in not allowing Gan Lei to use martial arts, living like Ganyu, saying that if it doesn't happen, it will be gone, what if you leave orphans and widows?

"Senior brother, let me tell you something first, the fourth child is missing."

Guo Song didn't dare to tell the senior brother about this, he knew that the senior brother's mouth had always been not very reliable, and he was afraid that it would leak out.

But Gan Lei is different, he is worthy of his life, and Guo Song trusts him the most.

Guo Song told Gan Lei about Ganyu in detail.

After hearing this, Gan Lei said solemnly: "Fifth brother, my brother has to say you about this matter, you can't wait any longer, only you know the habit of burying things in the fourth brother, it is likely that he left the golden box to you, and he has even told the apprentice that you are coming to the capital in the next few days, don't you want the apprentice to find you?" If you drag on like this, the fourth child's situation will only be more dangerous, it's not a question of whether you want to get involved in the battle for the heir, but you have to save people, at least you have to know who the fourth child was arrested? ”

Guo Song couldn't explain it for a while, he nodded silently, "Senior brother is right, I didn't handle this matter properly, I'll start immediately?" ”

"Where are you going to start?"

Guo Song groaned and said, "I have to find the person surnamed Mao, and now I only have this clue." ”
