Xing Zhen returned to the courtyard and quickly and concisely informed Pang Lao of everything.

Pang Lao smiled playfully: "Don't forget, I'm a mountain bandit, not a big man in the sky." Peach Blossom and I don't know each other, and the cottage has done its best to save him once. There's no need to work hard for their grandchildren, don't you think?"

Xing Zhen habitually scratched his head, and said: "What Pang Lao said seems to be a little wrong, as for what is wrong, I can't think of it for the time being." ”

The old man was unhurried: "When you figure it out, what are we deciding?"

Xing Zhen slapped his forehead: "I'm stupid, I won't be able to think of it for a while." If you don't get old, I'll go by myself. The left and right have been to Tengfu once and know the terrain. ”

Pang Lao dodged to block the young man's way, and said solemnly: "It's too dangerous, I don't want to give a reason, the cottage will stand by, and you are not allowed to act alone." ”

Xing Zhen protested: "I have freedom, I am not a member of the copycat." ”

Pang Lao didn't care: "Su Yun entrusted you to the cottage, and the cottage will ensure your thoughtfulness." ”

Xing Zhen saw that Pang Lao was unrelenting, and thought about it in desperation. was already wooden, and in a hurry, he couldn't think of a reason, and he didn't see sweat on his forehead after a while.

Pang Lao reminded: "You can trace back to the source and connect what happened before and after." ”

A simple sentence, stopping in Xing Zhen's ears, was like an empowerment, and he said loudly: "The first time they helped Peach Blossom, they were angry because it happened in front of them, and they didn't act until they were angry." Now that they have saved their grandchildren, they have given them hope for life. ”

"I don't think I'm a good person, and I don't think it's necessarily a good thing to do that. But once things have been done, they must be done to the end. is to give Peach Blossom and her grandfather an explanation, but also to give herself an explanation. ”

Pang Lao nodded, very satisfied with this answer. In fact, I wanted to help, but it was just a test of the truth.

The goal has been achieved, not a waste of time. advised: "Take care of the servants and things at home, and I'll go back as soon as I go." ”

After speaking, he turned around and prepared to go out. Xing Zhen looked at this posture and didn't plan to bring himself. I quit immediately.

Quickly ran in front of Pang Lao, blocked his way, and said in a firm tone: "I am involved in the peach blossom matter, only I know the peach blossom." If Pang Lao wants to take me with him, it will be much more convenient, so as not to save the wrong person. ”

Pang Lao said sharply: "No, in recent days, the cottage has robbed the rich, and I found that there are troops to worship the town." You're too young to afford a slip-up. “

Xing Zhen did not back down and insisted on his opinion: "I will follow behind Pang Lao, protect myself, please rest assured." ”

The old man sighed and said, "I can't be the master alone, let's see what Yu Shan's opinion is." Shanliang County has been heavily guarded recently, and Lao Yu wants to act with me. ”

"Two people take care of you, and you will have more certainty. ”

Xing Zhen was embarrassed: "Who will take care of the servants and things." ”

Pang Lao laughed angrily: "Let the two little guys play in the blacksmith shop for a while." ”

Yu Lao, who was striking iron, heard the sound of Pang Lao's heart lake. It was immediately decided to take a break for the time being. Leave Li Ergouzi in the shop to take care of it, and Feng Duozhi will go home from work.

Feng Duozhi left, Yu Shan beckoned Li Ergouzi to take good care of the house, and took Pang Lao and Xing Zhen out.

The three of them walked to the Fuji family, not because they didn't care about the peach blossoms, but because they had to be cautious. The Fuji family has suffered a loss, and this time it must be guarded against.

The most worrying thing is the collusion between the Fuji family and the government, in case a large number of troops are hidden in the deep courtyard of the big family, Xingzhen and the others will be tantamount to throwing themselves into the net.

On the way, Pang Lao asked: "Why do you branch Feng Duozhi, don't you feel at ease with him?"

Yu Shan didn't hide it: "I didn't catch any tricks for the time being, but when you came and Su Yun came." This Feng Duozhi is too enthusiastic, so he has to be on guard. ”

The torture on the side was puzzled: "Since you have doubts and don't worry, why don't you drive him away." If you don't let him work in the blacksmith shop, won't you be a hundred?"

Yu Shan smiled and pointed to Pang Lao, who had frosty white temples next to him: "Other people have a lot of ideas for old and spirited ghosts, let him explain." “

Pang Lao quipped: "Say that when others look at themselves when they are old, they have no less gray hair than me, and they still want to be a young man?"

Then Pang Lao explained to Xing Zhen: "Feng Duozhi's mind is active enough, if it is really an undercover agent sent in by others. After Yu Shan drove him away, he would definitely feel it in his heart, worried about whether he would be exposed. ”

In this way, instead of being safe, Yu Shan will be sealed and suspicious. Drive out one Feng Duozhi, and they will send a second or even a third or fourth. ”

"Not only that, but even the next door to Yushan will be replaced by another Feng Duozhi. In this way, Yushan will be even more dangerous. ”

Xing Zhen seems to understand whether he understands or not: "Why are there so many Feng Duozhi?"

The two old men laughed and threw a sentence to Xingzhen: "The plan will be calculated." ”

Approaching Fuji's house, the three of them went their separate ways. Before parting, the two old men repeatedly advised: "You must wait and see from afar, and remember not to approach." ”

Xing Zhen knew the seriousness of the matter, and said solemnly: "Second elder, rest assured, he will definitely not make an assertion." ”

The courtyard of a large family, not to mention the tall courtyard wall. The courtyard gate alone is divided into three places, southeast, west and west, and Xingzhen is responsible for observing the east.

Houses are usually built facing north and south, with the main entrance to the south. The east side of Xingzhen's observation is just a side door.

The side door is not as imposing as the main entrance, and there is no constant care from the family. It saved a lot of trouble for Xingzhen.

There are not many people coming and going, but Xingzhen has been paying close attention. I was really bored, so I practiced the breathing and breathing of Shang Wujiao over and over again.

In the night, Xing Zhen saw more than a dozen people, carrying two large boxes into the east gate. These more than ten people are all men with big shoulders and round waists, all of whom wear long knives at their waists, but they are looking forward to the old woman who is the leader.

The old woman at the head seems to be very old, and she walks slowly and leisurely on crutches. ignored the man behind him, with a look of contempt.

The old woman was followed by a young man, brightly dressed. The jade plaque the size of a fist at the waist is emerald green and crystal in the night, with the effect of lumine.

The young man and the old woman walked side by side, and they were not as quiet as a group of people behind them. Instead, he talked and laughed with the old woman, although he was respectful, but he was not in awe.

After the group, another lean man entered through the east gate. With a skinny body, he walks calmly and powerfully, without the slightest frivolity.

In the dark, the criminal truth was carefully observed, and everyone was remembered. I looked at the moonlight, and it was almost time to meet. The boy quietly disappeared into the night.

On the blacksmith shop's side, Yu Shan and the others had just left. Feng Duozhi went and returned, and brought a lot of objects in both large bags and small bags.

Hearing the knock on the door, Li Ergouzi immediately came out to open the door when he heard the sound, and saw that it was a companion who had been striking iron together for many years. Relax your guard and stand at the door and ask with a smile.

"Didn't Shopkeeper Yu let you go home to rest, why did you come back again?"

Feng Duozhi raised the package in his hand: "No, I saw two cute little guys coming to our shop." Bought them some sweets and small items. Children love these weird things. ”

Li Ergouzi pouted: "The salary of the shop is not much, you usually cry poor, saying that you can't open the pot at home." How can I have spare money to buy things today?"

Feng Duozhi's face was taken for granted: "I said Brother Li, why are you so stupid? If you don't cry about being poor and don't say that you have no money, can the shopkeeper give us a silver increase?"

Li Ergouzi debunked it in one sentence: "I cried poor all day long and said that I had no money, and I didn't see the shopkeeper's salary increase." ”

Seeing that Li Ergouzi had been standing in the way, Feng Duozhi was slightly angry: "I said Li Ergouzi, why did you suddenly talk so much today?"

"I care about the shopkeeper's friends, what's wrong with bringing some gifts? Besides, this is a blacksmith shop and not your house, what does it mean that I won't be allowed in?"

Li Ergouzi smiled: "I didn't mean that, I saw that you asked a few more strange questions today, don't be surprised." ”

"Two little ones are playing in the house, you can play with them. ”

After that, Li Ergouzi ignored the strange Feng Duozhi, and silently turned around and returned to the house, and soon there was a clanging sound of iron.

Feng Duozhi muttered to himself: "Damn stuffy gourd, you actually dare to interrogate Lao Tzu today." From tomorrow onwards, all the iron tools that take time and effort to build will be secretly placed next to you. ”

Then he shouted, "Little ones, what did Uncle bring you?"

A small thing came from inside the room in response: "We are reading and reading, and the gentleman said that we should study quietly and not be disturbed by external objects." ”

Feng Duozhi scolded with a smile: "Little thing, say a lot." ”

The thing in the house did not respond angrily: "I call it a question, not a small thing." ”

Feng Duozhi didn't pay attention to what the little guy was doing, and walked straight into the room: "Come on, come on, see what this is? ”

When the two little ones raised their heads, their four eyes glowed green. What bullshit reading and literacy, immediately left behind.

In unison: "I want to eat, I want to eat." ”

"Do you want to eat it or not?"

The two of them rushed up desperately, and they couldn't get the candy man excitedly. Xiao Bu Shi suddenly said: "Elder Pang taught us that we can't just take the things of the living. ”

But the body betrayed itself, and his eyes stared directly at the little sugar man in his hand.

Feng Duozhi put on a straight face and feigned anger: "Am I a living person? I am a guy in the blacksmith shop, and I have been following the shopkeeper Yu for some years. ”

Then he opened the package in his hand and said, "What do you see this?" The little hairpin is very beautiful to bring to the head, do you want to try the little thing." ”

The little girl had no heart and lungs, jumping to her feet and shouting: "I want me, I want it." “

When I got it in my hand, I didn't accept it and inserted it on the top of my head, and I looked for a basin of clear water to watch myself.

The little waiter reminded: "Things should be polite, and you have to say thank you when you take people's things." ”

The little thing didn't even raise its head, and said, "Thank you, uncle," and then smirked at the basin. Don't forget to add two mouthfuls of sugar in your hands.

Feng Duozhi opened another package and took out a spinning top and a wooden pole, bolted the hemp rope that bound the package to the wooden pole, and turned it into a small whip.

Squatting on the ground and spinning the top, the small whip whips rhythmically. The spinning top spins faster and faster, and the colorful top turns at high speed and turns into a colorful roulette wheel.

Feng Duozhi saw that the timing was about the same, and asked with a smile: "Is it fun?" ”

Xiao Bu nodded vigorously without thinking: "It's fun." ”

"Do you want to try it? ”

Seeing that Xiao Bu was indifferent, Feng Duozhi continued: "Don't worry, there will be no danger if Li Ergouzi is watching." ”

The itchy little servant finally couldn't resist the temptation. After saying: "Thank you, uncle", he began his own novel journey.

Feng Duozhi smiled: "Xiao Bu is so stupid, he stopped the spinning top, is it the first time to play?"

The little one concentrated on playing, and replied without thinking: "Yes, I haven't played before." ”

"Oh, no wonder. What did you do before?"

"Well, there's nothing to do, catch crickets and pick wild fruits in the summer, build snowmen and have snowball fights in the winter. ”

"Why don't you fly a kite and kick a straw ball?"

The attendant replied: "The elders are not allowed to fly kites, and I have never seen grass balls before. I've seen it since I went to a private school, and it takes a lot of people to play together. There are only two children at home, me and Xiaowu, and even if there is, I can't play. ”
