After drying three poles the next day, Zhao Zheng and the others got up one after another and had breakfast together. After eating, Shen Luoxia proposed to go out for a walk together, and Li Zhenzhen responded enthusiastically.

Zhao Zheng absentmindedly accompanied the two women out for a stroll, and this visit was half a day, and he found that he was not very interested in shopping, whether in modern or ancient times.

Shen Luoxia and Li Zhenzhen are the opposite, the two of them play very high, and they still want to play in the afternoon, but they don't want to go shopping anymore, but want to play something else. Shen Luoxia wanted to go to the gambling house to gamble, but Li Zhenzhen had another suggestion, she wanted to go to the forest outside the county with Shen Luoxia to play light skills, and run in the air with the technique of lifting and longitudinating on the trees.

The concept of light gong has always been used in battle, and it seems that no warrior is willing to perform it in peacetime, but this is not the case. Running like a fly or a volley with light power is a very fascinating enjoyment. Even when the martial artists are usually idle, they will like to jump around with light skills, which is a unique game in the martial arts world.

Shen Luoxia had seen Li Zhenzhen fly up to the beam of the house last night, and knew that Li Zhenzhen's light skills were good, and she wanted to see how high Li Zhenzhen's light skills were, so she immediately agreed to Li Zhenzhen's proposal. But in this way, Zhao Zheng couldn't go with them, because the two of them were extremely fast, and they had to volley through the trunks of trees, how could Zhao Zheng have that ability.

Shen Luoxia came to Qibao County this time to take Zhao Zheng to play, and she felt a little embarrassed to leave Zhao Zheng aside. But Li Zhenzhen didn't care about this at all, and even said: "We two women go out to play, what are you doing with a big man, and play by yourself." ”

"I'm a big man with you, and that's what I'm going to do." Zhao Zheng smiled bitterly, lifted his hands, and in his hands, he carried two large bags of things, which contained the cloth, rouge gouache and some flavored snacks bought by Shen Luoxia and Li Zhenzhen, which together weighed fifteen catties.

"Well, you helped our sisters move a lot of things, which is kind of useful."

"Is this just a 'little' use?" Zhao Zheng shook the things in his hand and showed Li Zhenzhen the weight of these things, if these things were thrown hard, they could kill people.

Shen Luoxia felt that Zhao Zheng was a little uncomfortable with Zhao Zheng hanging aside, in order to make up for it, she took out a silver ticket with a face value of fifty taels and a piece of broken silver from the money bag, stuffed it into the gap between Zhao Zheng's fingers, and smiled apologetically: "Brother, I will go to play outside the county with Zhenzhen, you take the money and go around by yourself." ”

"Okay. You two go and have fun, and I'll get these things back to the inn myself. Zhao Zheng smiled bitterly and had no complaints.

"That's pretty much it." Li Zhenzhen smiled, happily took Shen Luoxia's hand and ran away, Shen Luoxia turned around and said goodbye to Zhao Zheng, and as soon as the words fell, her person was already ten zhang away. The pedestrians around saw that the two were so fast, and they all looked sideways.

When shopping, Zhao Zheng was just left aside, but this time he was completely left aside......

But that's okay, if Shen Luoxia and Li Zhenzhen are not around, he can make his own plans in advance. Now that most of the day has passed, perhaps the fat shopkeeper has drawn two maps.

Zhao Zheng looked at the two pretty figures that disappeared at the end of the street, the corners of his mouth raised, and turned around and walked in the direction of the inn. Half an hour later, he walked back to the inn, sent large and small packages into Shen Luoxia's room, and took out the pot of poisonous wine from the system warehouse and put it in his arms. With that, he left the room and went to find the fat shopkeeper.

The fat shopkeeper was settling accounts behind the counter, and when he saw Zhao Zheng squirming at him, he immediately responded to Zhao Zheng by squeezing his eyebrows, and then led Zhao Zheng to the room where he talked about business with Zhao Zheng last night. As soon as he entered the room, the fat shopkeeper took out a piece of paper hidden in his arms and spread it on the table with a smile.

Zhao Zheng's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "You have already drawn all the maps?" ”

"I asked the second child in the store to go out to find out the addresses of the two people, and it took him half a day to draw the address of the lame vendor, but Qian Chong's address hasn't been brought back yet, so he should still be drawing." The fat shopkeeper rubbed his fat hand and said.

"That shopkeeper shouldn't draw a map of someone else's house in broad daylight, right?" Zhao Zheng stared at the fat shopkeeper and asked.

"Don't worry, that little second is very clever, he won't do such a stupid thing, he secretly drew the map, and he will never let outsiders see it."

"That's pretty much it." Zhao Zheng nodded, quite satisfied. In fact, doing this kind of thing is very simple, if it weren't for the fact that he had to accompany Shen Luoxia during the day, he wouldn't have found someone else to do it, and he would have been able to find out the addresses of those two people. He paused, then asked, "By the way, what's that lame peddler's name?" Who are the people in the family? ”

"The shopkeeper went to the Rifle Bazaar and found out everything about the lame peddler. This man's name is Ma An, and his family is quite poor, and he has no land, and even his house is rented. He has an old mother above him, the wife he used to marry has run away with someone else, and there is a five-year-old daughter below, which can be said to be old and young. Also, his feet turned out to be fine, they were broken by the arresters two years ago because he offended a few fast catchers, and the leading fast catcher seems to be that Qian Chong. The fat shopkeeper introduced.

"It's pitiful." Zhao Zheng knew that this was enough, he walked to the table and looked up and down the map, which was fairly clearly drawn, with several important streets marked, and the other areas were sketched, but the area near the lame vendor's house was drawn in detail.

The lame hawker lives in a slum on the edge of the county, with low, dilapidated houses, a chaotic terrain, and a lack of landmarks, except for a few large willow trees, which are deliberately marked on the map.

Zhao Zheng looked at it several times, memorized the map, and then refolded the map and put it in his arms.

"Well done, commendable." Zhao Zheng nodded, and then asked, "In addition to the map, didn't I also ask you to prepare small animals for me, how are the preparations?" ”

"Ready, too, as you commanded, a chick has been prepared, and the chick has been tied up and thrown into a bag, and if you want it, I will fetch it for you now." The fat shopkeeper laughed.

"Okay, I'm going to use it now, you can take me there."

"Childe, please come with me."

The fat shopkeeper made a gesture of please, took Zhao Zheng out of the house, and went to the back kitchen to get a cloth bag, and occasionally saw a living creature moving in it.

Zhao Zheng picked up the cloth bag, weighed it with his hand, and found that it was very light, and said in surprise: "Where is the chicken in here, it's obviously a chicken." ”

"Isn't it the same thing as a chicken and a chicken...... the fat shopkeeper smiled awkwardly, he obviously prepared a chicken for Zhao Zheng to save money.

"Forget it, the chickens are the chickens. As long as it's a living thing. Zhao Zheng was not embarrassed by the fat shopkeeper, held the bag containing the chicken, left the inn in a hurry, and went straight to the lame peddler's house.

An hour later, Zhao Zheng had already arrived in the slum area of Qibao County, and when the road was extended here, all the stone slabs were gone, replaced by dirty dirt roads, and the air became different, exuding a faint stench, and I don't know where these stenches came from. Zhao Zheng was standing here in a brocade suit, looking out of place, attracting the attention of many passers-by.

Zhao Zheng strolled around, looking around, looking for the eye-catching big willow trees. He walked two dirt roads, found the first willow tree, took this willow tree as a landmark, changed directions, and continued on his way, repeating this several times, until he finally found the lame peddler's home, if a circle of earthen walls and a few small houses could still be considered a home.

There were three sad men sitting in the courtyard, one was Ma An, a lame peddler, the other was an old woman with gray hair who was over fifty years old, and the last was a little girl in a patched cloth garment. The three of them sat very closely, all weaving bamboo baskets, and even the little girl, who was only five years old, whose hands had been worn out by the bamboo, was helping.

The family should be happy together, but there is no smile on the family's face, and the reason why they are so unhappy is simple, that is, they have no money.

People often say that money is something outside the body, you don't bring it in life, you don't take it in death, but in fact, it's not, money is the foundation of life, and people who don't have money can't be happy. It's brutal, but it's realistic.

Zhao Zheng looked at the little girl who bowed her head and weaved a bamboo basket, and couldn't help but feel compassion, at this age, the child should be free to have fun. At first, he dealt with the lame peddler in order to deal with Qian Chong and obtain the buried extraterrestrial meteorite by the way, but now even if he didn't want to do this, he wanted to help the family.

"Ahem," Zhao Zheng stood outside the courtyard gate, coughed lightly twice, and said loudly, "Take the liberty of excuse me, I passed by here, I was a little thirsty, and I wanted to ask your family for a bowl of water to drink." ”

Ma An heard the voice, raised his head, and saw the figure outside the courtyard gate through the huge gap in the wall. The old woman was not deaf, and she also heard Zhao Zheng's voice, and immediately ordered Ma An to bring water to Zhao Zheng. Ma An should be yes, limped back to the house, scooped water from the tank with a scoop, limped out of the courtyard again, and opened the door for Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng took a look at Ma An, nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you for the water." ”

Ma An didn't like to say much, only nodded, and then handed the scoop over.

Zhao Zheng's previous grandfather nǎinǎi's family was in the countryside, and he was used to this kind of water scoop, plus he had a poor person before, so he didn't dislike this water scoop a little old, held it steadily, and took a big sip.

"The water is so sweet." Zhao Zheng returned the water scoop and said with a light smile.

"Water is just ordinary water, where is sweet." Maan shook his head.

"You gave me water to drink because of your good intentions, so the water will become sweet even if it is not sweet."

"Childe is really good at joking, just a scoop of water, how can it be considered a good thought."

"I've been away for a day, and I'm thirsty, and your ladle of water, though ordinary, has helped me a lot. As the so-called grace of dripping water springs in return, I drink your water, I must repay you, otherwise I will have trouble sleeping. Zhao Zheng talked to Ma An along the water.

"Childe's words are serious, just a scoop of water, what to repay and not repay." Ma An waved his hand and said indifferently.

"No, I said I wanted to repay, then I had to repay." Zhao Zheng said stubbornly.

"It's really rare to see a son like you, I really don't need you to repay me, you just need to say thank you."

"A thank you can't help you or anything, I have something more practical to repay you." Zhao Zheng said, took out the fifty taels of silver tickets that Shen Luoxia had just given him from his body, and presented them with a smile, "This silver ticket is yours." ”

Ma An is a person who is very short of money, and when he saw this silver ticket, he immediately showed a fiery sè. It's a sign of greed, but there's nothing wrong with it, and who blames a poor man for his greed?

Ma An was greedy, but he did not lose his mind, the heat in his eyes gradually subsided, he took a step back, and said with a wry smile: "Childe is joking again, how can a bowl of water be worth fifty taels?" ”

"A bowl of water is indeed a bit worthless," Zhao Zheng nodded, and the conversation changed, "But if you do me another favor, it will be worth the money." ”;
