On the boat, in addition to these people, there was also a man with a shaved head, this person was thin, but his expression was very strong, holding a black cane in his hand, and a big gourd on his back, very conspicuous, looking at the dress, especially the gourd on his back, the crutch in his hand, it was exactly the same as the iron cane.

The tall man who grabbed the jade with Shi Suo sat next to the bald man, rolled his eyes and looked at Shi Suo and Dafeng, but did not make a sound.

A boatload of people was silent, and the atmosphere was awkward and awkward. The bald man didn't care about Shi Suo and Dafeng, looked at Professor Wan twice, then squinted and sat still, and the boat started, because the water was fast, the hull of the boat swayed, and he turned around and sailed to the opposite shore. In the river, there are firewood branches and leaves, apparently washed down by the rising water upstream.

Suddenly, a large piece of wood floated down the stream, which seemed to be a section of the body of a tree, with black bark, the thickness of a foot, tumbling down the water, because the water was turbulent, and the big wood was extremely fast, and it hit the direction of the ferry.

The owner of the boat suddenly became nervous, and tried to avoid the boat, but because the boat was in the middle of the stream, the water was rapid, and the boat was moving very slowly, and the big wood was getting closer and closer, and he rolled over, and he was about to collide with the ship. At this time, a boatload of people all stood up, but helpless, Dafeng's soft whip was powerful, but he was helpless against Damu, so anxious that he stomped his feet, Professor Wan said: "If the boat capsizes, they will jump together." ”

As soon as Professor Wan finished speaking, the two people standing by the boat, seeing that the wood was coming in a hurry, turned around and jumped into the water in panic.

At this time, the bald man stretched out his crutches and slammed on the big wood close to the hull of the boat, the stone lock saw that this was the only way to save the boat, and hurriedly stepped over, grabbed the crutches with both hands, and the bald head together, grabbed the crutches hard, and held the center of the big wood, the two worked together, the hull of the boat swung violently, the big wood rolled in the water, and finally did not hit the boat, ran down the river again, the stone lock and the bald head suddenly lost their support, one staggered, and almost fell into the river, Dafeng held the two of them one in one hand. The hull of the ship swayed, and all three of them fell to their seats.

At this time, the two people who jumped into the water in a hurry, their heads came out of the water, they were struggling, the water was turbulent, the two of them suddenly appeared, and they were extremely dangerous, Dafeng stood up and threw the string, and the tall man next to him shouted: "Don't put on your neck." ”

Dafeng grabbed Bai and said: "They only have their heads exposed, where are they not wearing their necks?" ”

The tall man was speechless, at this time, it happened that a man who fell into the water raised his arm, Dafeng's right hand shook, the rope lassoed his big arm, and dragged hard, the water has buoyancy, much less effort than dragging on land, the body was like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, was dragged out of the water by Dafeng, dragged to the side of the boat, everyone reached out to grab it, and pulled it onto the boat.

Dafeng concocted the same method, threw the string over, and pulled the other person up, and the bald man couldn't help but exclaim, "Good kung fu." ”

The tall man ignored Dafeng, but turned his head to the bald man and complimented: "Brother Li, you are a good kung fu when you cut the wood and saved the whole boat." ”

The bald man was triumphant, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I think I can't deal with a small piece of wood." ”

Tie Guan Li? Shi Suo and Professor Wan were both stunned, why did another Tie Guan Li come out?

"Snort," Dafeng laughed, "Kung fu is good, but, I'm afraid it's not just your kung fu." ”

The bald man's face was a little unnatural, and he reluctantly said: "Yes, this little brother also has the strength to do it, not bad." ”

Shi Suo didn't speak, and looked at the bald head repeatedly, this "Tie Guan Li" is completely different from the one he met before, but he is dressed the same, is it the same name? But since the name is the same, is it a coincidence to wear clothes? He didn't figure it out. Professor Wan winked at him, and neither of them spoke again. The ship fell silent again.

After landing and paying for the boat, the man with a gray scarf on his head said to Shi Suo and the others: "Since they are on the same road, let's go together." ”

"You guys go first." Stone Lock was reluctant to join them. The man smiled, didn't care, said goodbye to the three of them, and turned around to follow the group of men on the road, but the bald "Tie Guan Li" did not accompany the others and left alone. The tall man and the other two people who were rescued by Dafeng didn't answer the "life-saving benefactor", and they never said a word, and left on the road.

Shi Suo scolded: "A bunch of something. ”

Professor Wan said: "Forget it, it can't be reasonable with such a person. ”

The three of them rested on the shore for a while, and waited for the group to go far before they set out on their way. Shi Suo and Dafeng talked about martial arts along the road, which was very speculative, before, Shi Suo and Professor Wan were on the same road, and the two were often silent and chatted less. Although Shi Suo respected Professor Wan, he was far from what he had learned. There is very little common talk. This time I met Dafeng, but I was like a fish in water, I only felt that I was compatible everywhere, and I understood it, and the two of them had a temperament and a desire to think about it, and they were always in tune, even if they had different opinions and quarrels, they also felt full of interest.

Along the way, there are Dafeng and Shi Suo's chatting and arguing, quite not lonely, the three of them stayed overnight, and they arrived at Manjiazhuang on this day.

According to Dafeng, she immediately went to find Master Man, she said: "Master Man is said to be the richest man in the village, my younger brother was sold to his house as a child servant, let's stick to the end, and directly ask them to redeem people." ”

Professor Wan disagreed, "Since we have already arrived in the village, then there is no need to worry, we have no idea about the situation of the old man's family, if they push 625, where can we find it?" It's better to slowly explore and understand, and then start, to get nine out of ten, if they don't let go, let's think of a hard robbery, grab and run, these have to be prepared in advance. ”

"Professor Wan, you're too tall." Dafeng said.

The three of them went around in the village, Manjia Village is a big village, there are thousands of households, the house of the old man is located at the edge of the village, from the outside, the house is next to the house, the courtyard is set of yards, and it is not clear how many yards there are inside, just like a small village.

Professor Wan inquired in the village, and an old pedantic-looking man said: "Master Man's house, in the courtyard on the edge of the village, the gate is always open, Master Man has always been hospitable, if outsiders have difficulties, he will be generous to help, Master Man is the best good person in this village." Everyone has a good reputation. ”

"Great," Dafeng said happily, "We'll be able to find my brother." ”

The old pedant stroked his beard and said, "Are you looking for someone?" No problem, Master Man is anxious and righteous, helpful, as long as you find him, he will definitely agree, last year, there was a child servant, he was ransomed by his family, Master Man didn't even ask for a ransom, and gave them money. ”

"Really?" Dafeng's face was red with joy, "Among the servants in his family, is there one named Cui Dalong?" My brother's name is Cui Dalong. ”

"The servants of the Manchu family, all of them have changed their surnames, there is no surname Cui, and I don't know any Cui Dalong, if you want to find someone, just go directly," the old pedant said here, and hesitated, "However, you find Master Man, or the big housekeeper Man Zhong, although you just open your mouth, just don't look for the second son." ”

"Second son?" Professor Wan asked, "What's wrong with the second son?" ”

"It's all right," said the old pedant, who seemed reluctant to say more, waved his hand and left.

When the three of them heard the old pedant's words, they were full of joy and went straight to the courtyard, and when they reached the main gate, they found that the black lacquer gate was closed, and it was not "always open" as the old pedant said. ”

Dafeng stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, a person who looked like a family member came out, looked at it, and asked angrily: "Who are you looking for?" ”

Professor Wan stepped forward and said, "Little brother, we have something to do, and we want to trouble Master Man to inquire, please report it." ”

"The master is not here." The family said and wanted to close the door.

"Don't," Professor Wan hurriedly stopped, "Then you can find the Manzhong Butler." ”

"The big butler isn't here." The family wants to close the door again.

Professor Wan took out a banknote from his pocket and stuffed it into his family's hands, "Little brother, you can do it conveniently, we do have something, please make a note on your behalf, and afterwards, we will definitely thank you." ”

"Okay."

Before entering the door, they were blackmailed by their family members first, which was far from what the old pedant said about "being anxious for justice and righteousness", and the three of them were a little disappointed and shook their heads. Shi Suo scratched his head, "That old man just now, was he playing with us?" Or is it that you drink too much and your mouth is bubbling? ”

After a while, the family led the three people into the courtyard gate, full of courtyards, there are many houses, but the courtyard is empty, and the imaginary rich family people come and go, servants shuttle lively scene is completely different. Professor Wan and the three of them followed their families along the corridor through the foyer, bypassed the shadow wall, and walked into the living room.

The living room is very large, with carved doors and windows, eight immortal tables, and Taishi chairs, all of which are exquisite and elegant, and they look like a rich man's family. After a while, a man in his thirties, wearing a silk shirt, came to the hall and bowed his hand slightly, "I'm Man Zhonghua, may I ask, what's the matter with you?" ”

Professor Wan and Shi Suo and Dafeng got up to return the salute, Professor Wan was afraid that Dafeng would not be able to speak clearly, so he told her about finding her younger brother on her behalf, and said: "If we can find it and let their sister and brother meet, we are grateful, and we will pay a reward to redeem him, and thank your house for taking care of him for many years." ”

The man barely listened to Professor Wan's words, and said coldly: "We don't have Cui Dalong here, you are in the wrong place." ”

"Perhaps, after entering your mansion, I changed his name."

"He is eighteen years old and has a mole in the middle of his left eyebrow......"
