Ming Chenghua twenty-three years. The streets of the Beijing City God's Temple are full of people coming and going, bustling, at this time it coincides with the temple market in Beijing, the merchants gather, the goods are full of eyes, the pedestrians are shoulder to shoulder, it is difficult to walk an inch. In the middle of the crowd, a teenager was struggling to separate the crowd and hurrying away.

A group of people are gathered in front of the stall selling children's tools, and the Shi Gong who is setting up the stall is holding mud and shouting, and is peddled to the guests next to him. ”

The young man looked at Shi Gong, his face was red, and he was a little flustered from the old man who had pretended to be strong, and shouted back: "Gong Shi, be careful that you can't sell it for 500 yuan today, and Granny Shi will be noisy for a long time." ”

The guests next to him laughed out loud when they heard this, but Shi Gong was not annoyed, and laughed with the guests, watching the young man squeeze out a way in the crowd and walk into the distance.

Squeezing out of the lively market, the young man let out a long breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and hurried forward. The weather in early autumn was just right, sprinkled on the young man's face, and the young man's sword eyebrows and starry eyes were more and more handsome. Suddenly, as if he heard something, the young man stopped by a red wall, listened carefully, and a singing voice accompanied by the sound of the piano came from inside: "Young chivalrous, befriend Wuduxiong." Liver and gallbladder holes, hair shrugging. In the negotiation, life and death are the same, and a promise is heavy. The song faded away, and the boy had an appreciative expression on his face, muttered for a moment, looked at the sun, and hurried forward in a hurry.

Arriving in the middle of a poplar forest in the suburbs, the boy finally slowed down and looked in. The light in the woods is dappled, the wind blows the sound of "rustling", accompanied by the cries of the gnats one after another, it is also very lively. As soon as the young man stood still and gasped, a person flashed out of the woods, shouting: "Fourth brother, I'm here." ”

Hearing the shout, Ding Si stepped forward, and the person in front of him was burly, slightly dark, about the same age as Ding Si, with a haggard face and a preoccupied look.

Seeing his friend's depressed and listless expression, Ding Si sighed secretly, and still opened his mouth to comfort: "Tianlei, don't worry, Uncle Xiong's mother will return safely." ”

It turned out that seven days ago, a strange thing happened in Beijing: Feng Yue'e, the wife of Xiong Pingshun, the bear's shopkeeper of the Juyi Dart Bureau, mysteriously disappeared. According to the maid in the house, the housewife also urged her subordinates to close the doors and windows and be careful of the candles the night before, and the next day when the housemaid did not get up, the maid found that the door was empty, and everything in the room was as usual, but Feng Yue'e was nowhere to be found and there was no news. At this time, Xiong Pingshun happened to be out of the dart, only Xiong Tianlei was at home, and his family reported to the official in a panic and posted a notice to find people, while hurriedly flying pigeons to pass the book, telling Xiong Pingshun to return home quickly.

Listening to Ding Si mention his mother, Xiong Tianlei's eyes were slightly red, the Juyi Dart Bureau has done a lot of noise in the past two years, Xiong Tianlei has also been clothed and fed since he was born, how has he experienced this situation, his mother is missing, his father is out again, Xiong Tianlei is worried about his mother but no one has to discuss, he is worried all day long, he was originally a tiger-headed teenager, but at this time he is physically and mentally tired and exhausted.

Seeing Xiong Tianlei's situation, Ding Si hesitated and asked, "Tianlei, your father hasn't returned to Beijing yet?" ”

Xiong Tianlei said gloomily: "Why is my father often going out with the dart team in recent years, my mother often advises my father not to work so hard, but my father just laughed at it, but yesterday there was news that my father is rushing back, but it will take three or four days to get to the capital." ”

Ding Si asked again: "On the seventh day of the fifth month, is there anything abnormal about your mother?" ”

Xiong Tianlei's tears dripped down: "On the night of the seventh day of the fifth month, my mother also told me to practice my fists and feet diligently, and to hold up the door as soon as possible, saying that my father founded a dart game with his bare hands, and he bothered a lot about the dart game......"

At this point, Xiong Tianlei couldn't help crying.

Ding Si had relatives, but he didn't know how to enlighten Xiong Tianlei, so he had to accompany him sadly.

After a while, Xiong Tianlei finally held back his cry: "Fourth brother, is it that my father provoked the enemy outside, they took advantage of my father's outing, and waited for an opportunity to retaliate." Or some people see that the Juyi Dart Bureau has been quite prosperous in the past two years, and they treat my mother as a fat sheep and want to do a business. But why...... Why is there still no news, is my mother alive or dead......

Referring to his mother's safety, Xiong Tianlei clenched his fist and hit a big tree, shaking the branches a few times.

Ding Si hesitated slightly, thought for a moment, and still said the words: "Tianlei, this matter is quite strange, Aunt Xiong is not a weak woman, I heard that the room is still safe and quiet, there is no trace of a fight, maybe there are other hidden secrets." ”

Although Feng Yue'e is not confused when she is young, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and if she fights with two or three ordinary men, she will win more and lose less. But there was nothing to do that night, and Feng Yue'e disappeared the next day, after the news spread, Mo said that the neighbors were quite strange, even if they reported to the government, they had no clue, but they just sent an order to go down, so that the arresters could quickly investigate and secretly visit to see what news there was.

As a fast catcher, Ding Si knows what happened. Yesterday, Xiong Tianlei sent a message to him, saying that there was something important to discuss, and he made an appointment to meet here this morning. Seeing such a change in his friend, Ding Si didn't dare to delay, so he asked for leave early in the morning and rushed here.

Xu is heart of the worries confided in others, Xiong Tianlei's emotions gradually subsided, and looked at Ding Si:

"Fourth brother, do you remember that you mentioned something to me before, you were the first to catch fast, the Yang family's tailor shop Yang Lu went out to ask for an account, the old mother of the Yang family had a strange dream at night, a woman in red said that Yang Lu would meet thieves when he went out, if you want to solve this disaster, the old mother of the Yang family must find a temple and sincerely chant for three days. The next day, the old mother of the Yang family secretly rushed to Biyun Temple, three days later Yang Lu returned home, did not see his mother, just reported to the government, the old mother of the Yang family returned from Biyun Temple. ”

When it came to this, Xiong Tianlei was full of hope, and his voice trembled slightly:

"Fourth brother, do you think my mother will be like the old mother of the Yang family, that's why I ......?"

Ding Si looked at Xiong Tianlei's shining eyes and didn't know how to answer. At the beginning, Yang's mother was obsessed with Buddhism, and she had this dream when she thought about it every day, but if Feng Yue'e hid in the temple to pray for Xiong Pingshun, none of the ten people believed it. At that time, Feng's Yue'e scholar offered incense, and as soon as he finished bowing, he muttered: "I don't know if this clay sculpture can be as I wish." "Later, I saw that what I wanted could not be done, and the heart of seeking Buddha was originally divided into two parts, but they all disappeared and were never mentioned again.

Thinking about this, Ding Si had no choice but to comfort: "Tianlei, maybe your mother also has this dream, maybe your father will return home, and your mother will also return." ”

Seeing his friend say this, Xiong Tianlei had a little more hope in his heart, and took Ding Si's hand and said, "Fourth brother, I can't wait at all now, maybe my mother is chanting in Biyun Temple." Would you like to go with me to Biyun Temple? ”

Ding Sizhong was dumbfounded, only then did he know about Xiong Tianlei's appointment with himself, but seeing his friend's dead horse as a live horse doctor, how could he bear to refuse, so he immediately warmed his voice: "Tianlei, let's go to Biyun Temple now, and I'll go with you." ”

The breeze blew, the shade of the trees sifted a little golden, and the figures of the two teenagers disappeared into the trees, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
