At this moment, he had the urge to cry, Uncle Gui is not a small family, a lonely old man, when he was in Suzhou before, Uncle Gui treated him well, he was like half a son, but now, even drinking can only be bought with copper coins, which shows how hard his life is now.

"Oh yes, I'm ......" Xu Zizhen suddenly remembered that he was transfigured, and he hurriedly explained.

Uncle Gui patted him on the shoulder and said, "You kid, why did you think of coming back to see me, an old man?" ”

"You recognize me?" Xu Zizhen was very surprised.

The folds on Uncle Gui's face were full of laughter: "I will hear it as soon as you open your mouth." ”

Xu Zizhen could see that Uncle Gui was very excited, and obviously did treat him as a spoiled junior.

"Let's go, uncle, let's find a place to have a good drink." Saying that, Xu Zizhen grabbed Uncle Gui and left, just took two steps and stopped, "By the way, is Lei Zhutou in class today?" If it's empty, come to him with you? ”

Uncle Gui's smile disappeared suddenly, and he said gloomily: "This prefect is almost as virtuous as the previous Hu Youzu, and even I won't do it, so how can I still stay in the yamen if I thunder the donkey's temper?" ”

Xu Zizhen was silent for a while, he also knew Lei Zhutou's temper, straightforward, he was lucky to follow Wen Chengyan in the past, but it was difficult to say if he was a corrupt official.

"So what is he doing now? Changing places on an errand or ......"

Uncle Gui opened his mouth to speak, and after a while, he said: "It's late tonight, he lives outside the city now, but he still goes back to the city to look for life during the day, and I will take you to find him tomorrow." ”

"Okay." Xu Zizhen can't help it, the city gate will be closed after the party, so he can only talk about it one night.

The two found a nearby tavern to eat and drink, and Yan Zongde was there without saying a word, and when Uncle Gui asked, Xu Zizhen was perfunctory as a friend.

The old and the young chatted for a long time, nostalgic for the days they lived together two years ago, speaking of Xu Zizhen sighing at that time, Wen Chengyan was still in front of everyone's beloved Suzhou prefect, Wen Xian still regarded him as a pervert and a thief, and Uncle Gui still found Xu Zizhen to discuss autopsy skills after occasionally starting work......

Uncle Gui smiled and asked Xu Zizhen how he practiced the Jiuyang True Sutra, but when he heard that Xu Zizhen had now married several wives who were as beautiful as immortals, and even had children, he suddenly looked envious, jealous and hateful, but Xu Zizhen saw the pampering of the elders and the younger generations in his eyes.

It wasn't until the tavern that Xiao Er yawned to compensate for it, they checked out and left, Xu Zizhen sent Uncle Gui home, and found that the place where he lives now is broken and small, not even a decent piece of furniture, and the bedding is also patched in several places, no wonder Uncle Gui told Xiao Er when he drank that he didn't know how many times he could drink, obviously if he continued like this, it would be a problem for him to even eat normally.

Xu Zizhen put this matter in his heart, and went back to the inn to rest with Yan Zongde, he couldn't sleep well this night, got up early the next day, bought a lot of paper money, incense and candles, went outside the city, and came to a grave after walking on a country dirt road for half an hour.

This is Hua Ye's grave, Hua Ye was just a green-skinned gangster at the beginning, but he didn't know Xu Zizhen, and finally recognized Xu Zizhen as a big brother, originally Xu Zizhen was just for fun, but he didn't expect that when he was hunted down, Hua Ye actually saved his whereabouts with his life, and would rather die than reveal any news about Xu Zizhen.

It can be said that Xu Zizhen from the earliest want to be a rich man, to now bent on running away from the Jinren, Hua Ye played a very key role in this change, until today Xu Zizhen still remembers that Hua Ye was stabbed to death by a knife in front of his eyes, and his face was still proud and disdainful before he died, because he really regarded Xu Zizhen as a friend, and completely looked down on those who made dog slaves to the Jin people.

"Lao Hua, I'm about to go to the golden dog's lair, it's hard to say whether I can live or not in the past this time, but someone has to do some things, you say, right? But don't worry, you saved me with your life back then, won't I be sorry for you if I don't try to survive? ”

Xu Zizhen sat in front of the grave for a long time, talking about the old days with the flower master in the dark, and his eyes were red when he talked about emotion, and then slowly sprinkled a pot of wine in front of the grave, stood up and said: "I have to go, if I don't die this time, I will come back to you to drink, it's easier to die, let's go to Lord Yama and continue to be brothers." ”

Wanyan Zongde, who was standing beside him, had been waiting quietly, and when he heard Xu Zizhen's words, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and he kind of understood why there were so many masters around Xu Zizhen who were willing to die to him, because he was also dead set on making friends with others.

After paying tribute to Hua Ye, Xu Zizhen returned to the city, it was noon, Xu Zizhen went to pick up Uncle Gui first, and then went out and couldn't wait to ask about Lei Zhutou, Uncle Gui didn't say much, and took Xu Zizhen towards the city downtown downtown.

After coming to the place, Xu Zizhen found that this place is very familiar, this is one of the most lively areas in Suzhou City, with wide streets lined with shops, and not far from the Suzhou Mansion.

"Here?" Xu Zizhen glanced around, but didn't see Lei Zhen.

Uncle Gui pouted and pointed to a building under construction next to him: "Inside, you ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a man striding over with two pieces of wood on his shoulder, entered the building, put the wood on the ground, and then took two bamboo chips in the foreman's hand, carefully put them in his arms, and then walked out.

Xu Zizhen was stunned for a moment, this man was wearing a gray short coat, which was almost as tattered as the one on Uncle Gui's body, and a pair of shoes under his feet were also worn out, revealing half of his big toes.

Thunder catcher? Is this really the high-spirited and selfless thunder catcher in Suzhou City?

Xu Zizhen couldn't believe his eyes, he had thought that Lei Zhen might not have a good life after coming out of the yamen, but he never thought that the former head catcher was now reduced to moving wood for people, and that good kung fu was completely useless, and he only relied on the strength of his two arms to make a living.

He just wanted to go over and surprise Lei Zhutou, but suddenly found that a few hangers came over, these people were not good at first glance, all of them were open and exposed to their chests, regardless of whether there were muscles in their chests, the shoes under their feet were pulled, and their hands were holding their chests, so they blocked the way of Lei Zhutou.

A kid said: "Don't be busy walking, Lei catches the head, do less work and won't run out of money to eat." ”

Another yin and yang said strangely: "This is Lei Zhutou, will he have no money to eat?" Are you kidding? ”

Lei Zhen's footsteps stopped suddenly, looked up at them, and said coldly, "What do you want to do again?" ”

The leader was a skinny prank, he waved his hand, let the others surround Lei Zhen, and then said with a smile: "What can we do, we just want to talk to Lei Zhutou and make friends." ”

Lei Zhen's fists clenched violently, and the green tendons on his arms burst out.

"Get out!"
