Chapter 118: Looking for Ji Po
Happy days were always short-lived, and Qu Wu and his brothers and sisters spent a few days leisurely in Chenjia Village.
Zi Yan seems to have forgotten to be angry with Qu Wu in the past two days, and that night she obviously heard a few voices talking in Qu Wu's room, but if she went to listen to his door secretly in the past few days, she couldn't hear it anymore.
However, her doubts have not been solved, why there are several voices of people talking in Brother Qu Wu's room, and even strange voices of singing and musical instrument playing, could it be that Brother Qu Wu can really communicate with the gods?
Since Qu Wu didn't want to tell her, she thought to herself that maybe Brother Qu Wu didn't want others to know his secret, so she could only continue to observe secretly.
Qu Wu called Chen Damao aside on this day: "Da Mao, I have an unfinished business, I will leave first tomorrow, and we will meet on the boat when the time comes."
"What's the hurry?"
"I can't forget Wu Mengyao, the tragic condition of her body often makes me feel a painful tingling feeling, and her tragic fate is caused by Ji Jiao, Ji Po's father and son, although Ji Jiao has been killed by me, but Ji Po is still at large, which is still a big revenge for Meng Yao. Last time, you said that their family was in Niujiawan, Shucheng, and I wanted to go to him, but he hurt Wu Mengyao, this is a complex that I can't get rid of, and I must find him. ”
"You must repay yourself, but it is very dangerous for you to go alone, you are not familiar with life there, and you are in the light, it is easy to be plotted. I'll go with you with Ermao, and I'll definitely teach Ji Po a lesson. Da Mao said.
"No, you have a family and a room, so I can't let you take this risk."
"I've seen Ji Po, I can recognize him, how can I not go? Let's all be careful, we should be fine if we move quickly. ”
"That's even worse, if you know him, he may know you, and it's easier to be exposed. It's better for me to go alone, I know Ji Po turned to ashes. ”
While he was talking, Ji Zhi and Ji Hui brothers came.
"Ji Zhi, why are you here? You're inviting us to a drink, right? Qu Wu said after greeting the two brothers.
"Boss, sooner or later, you can drink the wine, but you can't drink it these days, I don't agree to buy a house in Zhuye, and my daughter-in-law is also yellow." Ji Zhi said.
"Isn't it? Your parents aren't sad? ”
"Alas, it's already unfilial that I'm not at home all the year round, and this time it's even more unfilial. But I don't want to carry a filial name on myself. But this time, my parents followed my advice and planned to move their family to Gusu and go with everyone in two days. Ji Zhi said.
"And what about your family?" Da Mao asked.
"The family has already discussed, the house will be given to my uncle, and our family will go to Gusu to buy a new house. What were you just discussing? Do you want to go to Gusu in advance? Ji Zhi said.
"The boss wants to go to Shucheng alone in advance and settle accounts with the person who wants to kill the boss and rob Wu Mengyao." Chen Damao said.
"How can this work, it's too dangerous to go alone, I'll go with you." Ji Zhi said.
"Otherwise, we will all leave to Shucheng one day in advance and leave tomorrow, and then everyone will wait in Shucheng for the boss and a few of us to go to Niujiawan, which is more secure." Chen Damao put forward his idea.
Qu Wu pondered for a moment and said: "That's okay, we have too many female dependents in Gusu this time, it's safer for everyone to go together, and besides, you can also reserve a little more time for you to delay a day in advance." As for going to Niujiawan, you don't need to go to so many people, Ji Zhi and I just need to go. ”
After making the decision, everyone also relaxed a little, and went to Da Mao's house to play those poker games, because the mahjong was placed on the boat and not brought to Chenjia Village, so that everyone was a little disappointed. Everyone was a little reluctant to leave Chenjia Village tomorrow, but when they thought of the new life in Gusu that they were about to start, they were full of expectations, especially the two sisters of Li Yue and the Chen family and Ji Hui, who had not lived and worked with everyone like this.
In the afternoon, the Ji Zhi brothers left Chenjia Village and went back to their own house in Zhuye to prepare for the trip.
Early the next morning, Qu Wu and Da Mao took everyone to start their journey back to Gusu. Qu Wu rode a horse and Da Mao Ermao drove a carriage each, and left Chenjia Village after saying goodbye to Da Mao Ermao's parents and neighbors.
When they passed through Zhuye City, they met up with Ji Zhi's family, and Ji Zhi drove a carriage with his parents and younger brother, and everyone headed for Shucheng in a large convoy.
On the third day, they finally arrived in Shucheng, and after staying in Shucheng for one night, Chen Damao led everyone to wait in the Shucheng Inn, and Qu Wu and Ji Zhi rode early the next morning to Niujiawan while asking for directions.
After entering Niujiawan, what I saw was a poor small mountain village, scattered with more than a dozen thatched houses.
Ji Po's home was soon asked by Qu Wu, Qu Wu and Ji Zhi led the horse and came softly to the vicinity of Ji Po's house, Qu Wu stood on the side of the door at the blind corner, and asked Ji Zhi, who was not known to Ji Po and Ji Heng, to knock on the door.
When Ji Zhi knocked on Ji Po's door, it was a middle-aged woman who opened the door.
"Who are you looking for, this guest officer?"
"You're Ji Po's mother, right? Is your son here? Ji Zhi asked.
"Ji Po has joined the army, and the other son is out on business, and he won't be back until the evening. Who is the guest officer? Where did it come from? Know my son? Ji Po's mother asked.
Although Qu Wu had also thought about looking for Ji Pohui before he came, all he thought of was that he was not at home for the time being, and he didn't think that he was going to join the army.
"Ji Po and I are old acquaintances who met in Wu State, since he has joined the army, then I won't bother." Ji Zhi replied.
"Since it's an old acquaintance, that's a friend, please come into the house and sit down."
"No need, don't bother." Ji Zhi said.
Ji Zhi turned around and walked to Qu Wu, and the two reluctantly rode away from Niujiawan and returned to Shucheng.
Qu Wu's heart knot was unsolved, and he returned with regret. In fact, before he came, he didn't think about what would happen after seeing Ji Po, whether to kill him or beat him up, as long as he could vent his hatred for Ji Po, he would do it, because he felt that Meng Yao was asking him to do it.
It seems that this knot will continue to remain in Qu Wu's heart.
Qu Wu and Ji Zhi returned to Shucheng, and when they passed by the Shucheng riverside wharf, they saw that the building boat was already waiting for them by the river. Qu Wu and Ji Zhi returned to the inn, packed up with everyone, and came to the riverside to board the boat together.
At the end of the holiday, Qu Wu stood at the bow of the boat, bidding farewell to this ancient city of Chu that he had been to several times, thinking about the new challenges and life that was about to begin.
