The next morning, I woke up at dawn, practiced my mind for a while, moved my arms again, felt that my chest was not so painful, and tentatively came down and walked, and found that there was nothing serious. I hadn't been out since I was injured that day, and I didn't know where we lived, and I wanted to go out and see, so I pushed open the door and went into the yard.

But seeing that we lived in a single courtyard, sitting north and facing south, there were five main houses, one in the middle was the living room, two guest rooms on each side, and the west side was the cattle shed, where our donkeys, horses, and mules were quietly eating forage. Three slightly lower houses in the east, I saw a family member standing outside to wash, it is estimated that Shunzi and a few people live in it, and the four main rooms should be one for the four of us, one for Wei Zihan and Xiaoyu. I know that this is all arranged by the county lord, and it seems that this county lord is not bad.

In the middle of the yard were a few tall plane trees, on which several magpies were flying around and occasionally chirping pleasantly, and under the large trees were four stone benches and a stone table. I walked to the stone bench and sat down, the stone bench was very clean, cool and comfortable to sit on.

Look at the sun has come out of the horizon, according to the previous habit, the old man should have come out to practice boxing, and I didn't see him today. I felt a little strange, and I didn't know where he lived, and then the family member who was washing up was also done, so I beckoned him to come over and asked, "Where is the room where Mr. Wang lives?" The housekeeper pointed to the first room on the right and said, "The old man is in the room on the side, next door is Mr. Wang, and the young lady is next door to you." ”

After sending my family away, I walked to the old man's room, because it was still a little painful, I walked slowly to the old man's room. I gently pushed the door, didn't push it open, I knocked a few times, there was no movement, there was a window in front, I came to the window, looked into the room, there was no one inside, and saw that the quilt on the bed was folded well. I shouted a few more times, but there was still no movement, could it be that the old man went out in the morning.

I went to the place where Junko and the others lived, and the family got up early, so maybe they could see where the old man went. When I came to the door of the side room, I didn't go in, so I shouted a few times at the door: "Junzi, Junzi come out and get down." ”

Junko came out of the house and said, "Dao Chief, is there something wrong, why did you come out before your injuries are healed?"

"Did you see, Old Man Wang, why is there no one in the house, the door is still closed from the inside, you ask if anyone has seen where Old Man Wang went." Junzi responded and went back to the house, and asked the family members, but they all said that they didn't see where the old man went. Now I don't know the bottom of my heart, the old man is strong in martial arts, and there are usually few people who can take him away without moving, could it be that he left by himself.

I took Junko and went to the old man's room again. Junko jumped in through the window, went to the door and bolted the door, I also entered the house through the door, only to see that the house was in order, nothing moved, even the old man's clothes were neatly folded on the bed, and there was a baggage, but I didn't see the sword on his back.

I found a stool and sat down, and told Junzi, "Junzi, you go and call Mr. Wang and Miss Wei here." ”

When Wang Jinhuai came in, his eyes were still sleepy, and his face was not washed, and he said when he entered the door: "Stinky Taoist, you don't let me sleep peacefully, I didn't sleep until midnight last night, so I was looking for something." ”

"Still sleeping, you know sleeping, you see that the old man is gone, did you see him last night?"

Hearing me say this, Wang Jinhuai's eyes widened: "What." The old man is gone. When the two of us talked about the I Ching, the old man came back to sleep. How could it be gone? I still didn't believe it, so I looked around the room again, and even opened the wardrobe to see. There was the shadow of the old man there, judging from the fact that the furnishings in the house had not moved, the old man should not be in any danger, probably went out by himself. As for where to go, no one knows.

After a while, Wei Zihan and Xiaoyu came belatedly, but it seemed that they came after washing and dressing up. Girls always want to leave the best side to others, and rarely appear unkempt in front of outsiders, especially in front of the people they like, and they want to appear in the most beautiful image.

Wei Zihan said: "Is there anything wrong with the eldest brother, why didn't you see Old Man Wang." ”

"Old man Wang is gone, this is not just to call you over, although we have only been with the old man for a few days, but now that the old man is gone, no matter what the situation is, we have to find the old man."

"The old man will be gone, it won't be to get up in the morning and go out."

I said, "No, I've already sent Junko to the inn to ask, and I haven't seen the old man go out since the inn closed yesterday." ”

Wang Jinhuai continued: "I feel that the old man is also very strange these days, he has a lot of time to go out during the day, and he didn't say where he went. ”

"You can't report to the official, let's send someone out to find it first, and then wait and see, if the old man doesn't come back at night, we will report to the official tomorrow, what do you say." After I finished speaking, I looked at Wei Zihan and Wang Jinhuai.

"Okay, just do what you say, and Miss Wei will send a few of them out to look for it, and I'll go wash up and go out with them, it's inconvenient for you two, just wait at home, maybe the old man will come back later."

After speaking, Wang Jinhuai got up and came out of the room, Wei Zihan also stood up and said: "Big brother, I'll go and talk to Shunzi and them, let them go with Mr. Wang to find it, you sit for a while, just wait here, I'll ask Xiaoyu to bring you food." Wei Zihan got up and left the room with Xiaoyu and walked towards the side room and Shunzi and their residence.

I was in my room, and I got up again to look at it, and found that the old man had been wearing clothes, and he had put them on the bed, and he had not seen any other clothes worn. It seems that the old man is prepared to go, no matter where he goes, there should be no danger.

After a while, Xiaoyu brought me breakfast, a bowl of millet gruel, a plate of pickles, and two fritters.

The courtyard was very quiet, Wang Jinhuai seemed to have gone out with a few of them to find the old man, Wei Zihan was not in the courtyard, I stepped back to my room, opened my backpack, and took out three copper coins, whether I found it or not, I will take a look at it first.

I threw the copper coin on the table six times, and took up a hexagram that was redeemed for Ze, which was overlapped with the same hexagram (Shimosawa and Shangze). Ze is water. The two rivers are connected, the two rivers communicate, the upper and lower are harmonious, united, friends help each other, and rejoice. Redeem for the joy also. With the virtue of being strong and healthy, with a gentle posture, we will stick to the right path and guide the people upward.

According to the meaning of the old man's travel: go out all the way safely, even if you encounter difficulties, someone will help you and get out of trouble.

Judging from the form of divination, the old man should not be in any danger, but sometimes the divination is not very accurate, so I hope the old man can come back safely.
