"Ah Fu, what are you doing?"

After Cao Peng and Wang Mai returned to the bazaar, they did not rush to buy bone-setting medicine. There are far fewer pedestrians on the streets! Cheng Kee Trading House has this kind of thing, how can it hide it from others? How big is Zhongyang Town? So it soon became well-known to passers-by......

Everyone knows Chengji's domineering, but they didn't expect Chengji to be so domineering!

For a while, people closed the market one after another.

Those who should go home should go home, and those who should collect the stalls should be closed......

If you can't afford to provoke us, no matter how powerful you are, we won't dangle under your nose, what else can you do with us?

Therefore, walking in the market again, Cao Peng obviously felt deserted.

He walked slowly along the street, and walked three times around Cheng Kee Shang in the distance. It wasn't until Wang Mai urged him to stop his tracks.

"It's okay, turn around!"

With that, he went to a pharmacy and bought two bone-setting creams.

"Let's go, let's go back."

Wang Mai agreed, but he still felt a little strange in his heart, and he couldn't guess what kind of medicine was being sold in Cao Peng's throat.

On the way back, Cao Peng suddenly said: "Wang Mai, I saw you have a hunting knife before, it's so beautiful!" ”

"You mean this?"

Wang Mai pulled out a knife from his waist and handed it to Cao Peng.

Knife, about forty centimeters long, with a black dogskin scabbard. The handle of the knife is only ten centimeters long, but for a child, it is just right to hold.

Cao Peng pulled out his knife and glanced at it.

This knife, to be precise, is not a hunting knife.

In terms of appearance, it is only a small reduction in the size of the ring hand knife, and for adults, its decorative effect may be greater.

And the construction is very rough, compared to the knives collected by Cao Peng in his previous life, there is a world of difference.

But killing is enough......

"Borrow me for two days, okay?"

Cao Peng put away the knife and looked at Wang Mai with a smile.

Wang Mai showed a reluctant expression on his face, and said softly: "This is the ...... my father took me to the county seat this time."

"Tiger Head, are we good brothers?"

How could Cao Peng not guess Wang Mai's thoughts, and hugged Wang Mai's neck with a smile.

He was much lower than Wang Mai, so he seemed a little struggling, "Tiger Head, lend me a day to play, tomorrow, I will definitely pay you back tomorrow." ”

Wang Mai scratched his head, and it took a long time to make up his mind.

"Okay, then you must give it back to me tomorrow!"

"It's a deal!"

Cao Peng exhaled lightly and casually put the hunting knife into his big sleeve.

In his eyes, a cold light flashed......

He smiled and pulled Wang Mai and returned home together.

——————————————————————————————

Cao Ji and his wife left Wang Meng and his son at home for lunch, and then Wang Meng and his son said goodbye and left.

And Cao Peng secretly took out the grinding stone from his father's toolbox, returned to the inner room very quietly, and lowered the curtain casually.

Cao Ji obviously forgot about going to Zhongyangguan tomorrow.

He and Zhang sat on the couch, talking without a word, and his heart was heavy.

"Son and his father, do you say that what Uncle Wang said is true?"

Zhang asked a little uneasily.

Cao Ji said softly: "Big brother is well-informed, not an ordinary person.

And you should know that he is not the kind of person who likes to talk nonsense...... Since he said so, he must have a point.

The eldest brother is right, these years are in chaos, where is there any justice?

Cheng Ji can be rampant and domineering in the county, not to mention our small Zhongyang Town...... He is the kind of person who has no reason to talk about it at all. ”

"So what do we do?"

"This ...... I haven't figured it out yet. ”

Zhang hesitated for a moment, and said, "Otherwise, let's go to the girl's side?"

Didn't the girl send a letter some time ago and said, let us pass...... I heard that Liu Jingzhou is generous and benevolent, and their people are doing very well. And there are many people on the in-laws' side, so it won't be difficult to find someone to talk to when something happens...... You tell me? ”

Cao Ji thought for a while and grinned, "It's good, but when you get over there, under the fence, you always have to look at people's ......faces."

"What's wrong with the fence?

We didn't send people under the fence in Zhongyang Town, but something happened, except for Brother Wang, who stood up and said a word for us?

Uncle is not a stingy person, and he keeps saying that he wants us to go over.

Besides, don't you still have the craft? Even if we get over there, we can't be sent under the fence! ”

When Cao Ji heard this, he was also excited.

The child's mother is right, although my craftsmanship is not first-class, I can tinker with it, and I will not rely on my aunt's family for relief.

What difference does it make if you feed yourself by yourself, but you just change places?

"Brother Wang......"

"If you can't bear Brother Wang, let's go talk to Brother Wang...... He took the tiger head with him, and even if he left Zhongyang Town, he would have nowhere to go. It's better for us to go over together and have a care. Brother Wang is so capable, maybe he can get ahead in a different place. ”

Cao Ji nodded again and again, obviously moved by Zhang's words.

"Then let's go over and discuss with Brother Wang, if we really want to move, it's still a troublesome matter."

Cao Ji and Zhang's discussed for a long time, seeing that it was getting late, they were ready to make dinner and then go to Wang Meng to discuss.

However, when he and his wife entered the inner room, they found that Cao Peng had fallen asleep on the couch...... The couple put the prepared meal on the pot, and did not wake up Cao Peng, so they closed the door and left quietly.

Not long after the couple left, they saw the door open slightly, followed by a thin figure flashing and disappearing into the night......

——————————————————————————

Of course, Wang Meng agreed with Cao Ji's idea!

In fact, if his father and son left Zhongyang Town, there would be nowhere to go.

In the past, there were a few robes who were still alive, but most of them were kings of the mountain, and Wang Meng wanted to provoke them. Finally got out of the circle and jumped in? Just said that for the sake of Wang Buying, Wang Meng was not willing to take this road! When you are a bandit, there is no good end.

As for the situation of Cao Ji's son-in-law, Wang Meng also knows something.

Cao Ji's son-in-law is called Deng Ji, a native of Deng Village, Jianyang......

This Deng Village, although it is not a famous family, but in Jianyang, it can also be ranked first, and it is a clan village with a large scale.

There are about 100 families in the whole village, nearly 600 people.

Among them, more than seventy percent of the residents are surnamed Deng, forming a large force in Jianyang.

Now the patriarch of Deng Village is named Deng Ji, who is the general of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, stationed in Xinye County...... Cao Ji's son-in-law, Deng Ji, belongs to the side branch and does not have a deep relationship with Deng Ji. But after all, he is surnamed Deng, so he is not from a bad background, and now he is working as an adjutant in the Jianyang County Office. The position is not big, but he is a powerful official...... If he takes care of it, Wang Meng's father and son and Cao Ji's family will also have something to rely on.

Previously, Cao Ji still had some thoughts about leaving his homeland.

But now that it had come to this, he didn't think about it that much. As soon as he discussed with Wang Meng, Wang Meng immediately raised his hands in approval......

"Brother Xian, in my opinion, without further ado, let's leave as soon as possible."

Cao Ji scratched his head and said softly: "Brother, don't be in such a hurry......

"Long nights, brother!"

Wang Meng persuaded: "Don't worry so much, give up what should be abandoned, and when we settle down, we can buy it." ”

"So...... As my brother said. ”

The two families discussed for a long time, and before they knew it, it was getting late.

Cao Ji and his wife said goodbye and left, and Wang Meng woke up Wang Mai and prepared to pack his things.

"Dad, when are we leaving?"

"Of course, the sooner the better!" Wang Meng took out a large leather pocket from the box and packed the bow and arrows and other items. In this troubled world, you can't do without weapons in your hands. His bows and weapons were all collected from the battlefield back then, and they were also well-equipped.

"By the way, what about the knife I bought you yesterday?"

Wang Meng suddenly asked.

Wang Mai was stunned for a moment, and said casually: "It was borrowed by Ah Fu...... He saw that my knife was beautiful, so he wanted to play with it, and I asked him for it at dawn. ”

"Ah Fu is leaving?"

Wang Meng nodded, and was about to pack up his things, when he suddenly shuddered, turned around and asked, "What does Ah Fu want a knife for?" ”

Wang Mai said suspiciously, "I don't know! ”

"This kid ......"

Wang Meng frowned, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But immediately, he shook his head vigorously, and said to himself with a smile: "That kid is usually cowardly, how can he have such courage?" Impossible, impossible! ”

Thinking of this, he crouched down and continued to pack his things.

But at this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door.

Wang Meng got up and opened the door, but saw Cao Ji panting outside the door, with a panicked expression.

"Brother Xian, you are ......"

Cao Ji swallowed his saliva and waved his hand to interrupt Wang Meng's words, "Big brother, did my friends come to your house?" ”

"Ah Fu?"

Wang Meng was stunned, "No! I've been home with Tiger Head, and I haven't seen him coming. ”

"And where did he go?"

Cao Ji was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "After I went back with my child, I found that Peng'er was missing......
