"Then thank you, auntie, for your kindness."

Even if the old man didn't say the words of invitation, Zong Jiyuan also wanted to make this request, in addition to looking for Xiang'er, the main thing was to prevent the people of the Sun family from refusing to give up, since Aunt Tong had already said it, Zong Jiyuan just came to push the boat and agreed on the spot.

Seeing that the six thugs were taught a lesson by the county magistrate and then driven away, the villagers were also very happy, and everyone gathered around Lord He and his party and came to Sihebao together.

The conditions of this Tong family are really not bad, the yard is very spacious, clean and clean, the main house and the wing room are added together, a total of seven, although it is not a blue brick house, but it is very neatly maintained.

Everyone entered the courtyard, and the Tong brothers hurriedly took out tables, chairs and benches, placed them in the courtyard, and brought out refreshments to entertain these distinguished guests.

After everyone sat down, He Ruichang chatted with the old couple of the Tong family, and Zong Jiyuan saw that the atmosphere was very harmonious, so he dragged the third child of the Tong family, who looked more clever, and said,

"Come with me."

"Oh, okay."

The third child of the Tong family hurriedly followed her to a corner and looked at each other curiously.

Seeing that the others hadn't noticed the two of them, Zong Jiyuan said,

"Let me ask you, what is the name of the young man your mother mentioned who used to have a good relationship with your sister Xiang'er, do you know?"

"Oh, the adults are asking this, that young man's name is Ju Wenliang, and he used to play with the villain and Xiang'er when he was a child."

It seems that the third child of the Tong family is not too strange when he mentions the young man, and he answers quickly.

Zong Jiyuan listened and said secretly, it turns out that they are still childhood sweethearts, this is much easier, so he asked again,

"You know where his family lives, right?"

"Know the general direction......"

At the mention of this, the third child of the Tong family hesitated.

Zong Jiyuan suddenly felt strange in his heart, didn't the three brothers go to the young man's house and see it in person, why do they now say that they only know the general direction. But although he was secretly suspicious, he didn't break it, but continued to ask quietly,

"So, I'd like to go to his house in a moment, can you show me the way?"

"Of course."

The third child of the Tong family is also a simple person, and nodded without saying a word.

After saying it here, Zong Jiyuan pulled He Qingyu aside again and instructed,

"Brother Qingyu, the younger brother is going out for a while, and there is something that needs to be done as soon as possible, but the time should not be long. You tell Third Brother Diao to protect the adults well, if the Sun family sends someone here, you must detain them no matter what, don't let them go, and you must wait for the younger brother and me to come back. ”

"Well, foolish brother understands."

He Qingyu is really a sensible person, and he didn't ask the bottom of the question, but just nodded and agreed.

Seeing that the explanation had been given, Zong Jiyuan went out of the courtyard with the third child of the Tong family, and walked to the southeast under his guidance.

As he walked, Wang Yu, who had already followed him automatically, asked with a smile,

"Ji Yuan, why didn't you call me when you came out?"

"Do you really need me to call you? Even if I don't call you, won't you just follow? ”

Zong Jiyuan glanced at him and said.

When Wang Yu heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head again and again, and echoed the truth,

"Yes, yes, what you said makes so much sense."

The third child of the Tong family listened to the conversation between the two of them, which was really novel and confusing.

When I walked out of the road that could be more than two miles away, I saw a place in front of me that could not be called a village at all, because the families who lived in this place were all added together, and there were definitely no more than ten families, and they were not close to each other, and they were all built independently. Not to mention that the front yard of the house is planted with weeping willows, flowers and fruit trees, at this time there are many branches have begun to send out tender green leaf buds, reflecting the green swaying of people's eyes, giving people a very pleasant feeling.

After the third child of the Tong family came here with the two of them, he stood still, looking a little hesitant, Zong Jiyuan knew that he was not sure which house was where they were going, so he looked around, and it was a coincidence that the door of the courtyard closest to them was opened, and a middle-aged woman came out of it, holding a basin of water, and came out to pour water.

Zong Jiyuan hurriedly walked up and bowed slightly,

"Hello sister, can I ask you something?"

"Oh? What's going on? ”

The woman asked, looking at her and smiling.

Zong Jiyuan immediately smiled like her,

"May I ask which one Ju Wenliang lives in, we are his friends, we have been here before, but now I am a little unsure which one."

"Oh, it's the kid of the Ju family, huh,"

As she spoke, the woman pointed with her hand to one of the two courtyards, and said,

"That's the house, the courtyard that has nothing to do with the courtyard gate."

"Thank you, sister!"

Sending a sweet smile to the other party, Zong Jiyuan gave another salute and walked towards the courtyard with the third child of the Tong family and Wang Yu.

This time, Zong Jiyuan no longer concealed it, and glanced at the third child of the Tong family while walking, his eyes were full of doubt, and of course the third child of the Tong family was also aware of it, and lowered his head with some regret and weakness.

When we came to the gate of this courtyard, I could see a young man working in what seemed to be a carpenter's work through the gap between the two half-open doors.

Zong Jiyuan looked at it, turned his head and asked in a low voice to the third child of the Tong family,

"Is he Ju Wenliang?"

"That's right, it's him."

The third elder of the Tong family nodded affirmatively.

Zong Jiyuan immediately glanced at Wang Yu, and Wang Yu turned away knowingly, walking along the courtyard wall and towards the back of the courtyard.

Seeing that it was almost over, Zong Jiyuan raised his hand and knocked on the door of the courtyard door.

"Excuse me, is this the Ju family?"

"Huh? yes......"

The young man, who was concentrating on carpentry work in the courtyard, looked as if he was taken aback, and looked up, but when he saw only Zong Jiyuan, he couldn't help but ask in surprise,

"May I ask this son, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Ju Wenliang, it should be you, right?"

Zong Jiyuan asked, and then walked into the courtyard and listened attentively to the movement in the three adobe houses, which were not high, but were very neat and tidy.

When the young man heard this, he immediately became a little wary and asked,

"Yes, I'm Ju Wenliang...... What is the matter with you? ”

As soon as I said this, I saw the third child of the Tong family who walked in later, and I couldn't help but be even more stunned.

"Tong, Third Brother Tong? Y-Why are you here? ”

"I came with this errand officer, and he said that he had something to ask about you."

The third child of the Tong family came straight and told the truth to the other party without adulteration at all.

When Ju Wenliang heard this, he suddenly became even more nervous, and subconsciously clenched the tool in his hand.

"What, bad officer?! What are you doing with me......
