35. Tomb Thief (I)

Beicheng Yining Fang

In addition to the palace city, the imperial city, and the outer Guocheng of Chang'an City have always been rich in the east and rich in the west, and the north is respected in the south.

The 12 squares in the northwest are close to the imperial city, the terrain is higher, more ventilated and drier than the fang market in the south, although the location of Yining Fang is more partial, but the house is also a thousand gold, and the ordinary people can not afford to live.

As Li Yu said, the child's mother suffered from paralysis, and Wu Fenglin chose to settle here, probably for the sake of his wife's condition.

Wen Chongxuan would rather resign and return to his hometown, but he couldn't think of a way to find the Wu family. She thought that the clue would be interrupted, but she didn't expect to find a letter in the Wen family's concierge, and the person who wrote the letter was Wu Fenglin's only son.

In the letter, he said that his father had been missing for many days, and his mother was seriously ill and had no money for medical treatment, and in desperation, he begged the old lord for alms.

It's completely right, he should be the kid who sells paintings!

Thinking that he was going to face a woman and a child, Su Xiaozhou deliberately changed into a skirt and came to the remote alley in the middle of the fang alone.

The house in front of him is not large, much lower than the surrounding houses, and the difficult life of the family can be seen from the broken stone steps at the door, the uncleared weeds on the eaves, and the mottled and peeling walls.

The corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and Li Yu ...... Give him three more days, and find it here.

He was about to knock on the door, but he heard a familiar voice from within the low courtyard wall.

"Momo, this prescription grabs medicine, three times a day; This prescription grabs the medicine, boils the water and bathes, once a day. ”

Li Yuβ€”β€”, this guy actually found this place first?!

Su Xiaozhou took a sharp breath, and his chest was suffocated.

"Squeak-" The door opened.

A boy about a kindergarten boy was leading the people behind him out.

It was Li Yu who followed behind!

He was also alone, dressed a little strangely, dressed in a brown robe, with a straight head, straddled an old wooden box, and had two mustaches on his face.

"Who are you looking for?"

The boy stared at her with wide eyes, his eyes full of wariness.

"I ...... I'm ......."

Su Xiaozhou originally thought of various reasons, but the moment he saw Li Yu's appearance, he forgot all about it.

"Lady! How did you find here? ”

Li Yu walked out of the door quickly and pulled her to his side.

"Lady?"

Su Xiaozhou didn't react too much, and suddenly his arm was violently pulled by him, "Hey-" and shouted out.

"It turned out to be Mrs. Lee. Hello, my name is Momo. The boy bowed respectfully.

His clothes were shabby, but they were clean, and his manners looked very cultured.

Li Yu smiled, pulled Su Xiaozhou and walked out, and beckoned: "Momo, let's go back first, and come back to your mother in a few days." Medicines must be used on time. ”

"Xianggong, you came here alone, why don't you say a word to your family?"

Su Xiaozhou pulled Li Yu and said hatefully in his ear.

Li Yu leaned into her ear, "It's a long story, let's talk about it later." ”

"Dr. Li and Mrs. Li are really affectionate, just like my father. When my dad comes back, I'll be sure to thank you. Mo Mo said very seriously.

Li Yu understood this kind of strength, smiled with satisfaction, and patted him on the shoulder.

When he saw Su Xiaozhou, he knew that this kid was looking for the right thing.

……

Hand in hand, walk through the streets and alleys, and make sure to leave Momo's sight.

Su Xiaozhou finally couldn't help it, glanced back, there was nothing abnormal, and pulled Li Yu, "How did you find this kid?" Why don't you arrest people, but pretend to be a doctor to see a doctor? ”

"Ahh

Li Yu took a breath and leaned on her, "You don't know, it's not easy to find him!" In the past three days, I have seen no less than 100 patients, and my hands are numb and my eyes are dazzled. It is said that there are many rich and noble families in the north, but I didn't expect to open a free clinic casually, and there was a long queue at the same time. Behind the prosperity of the world, there are many sadness that cannot be seen! ”

Su Xiaozhou arrived at him, "That kid...... Momo, are you sure it's him who sells the paintings? ”

"You and I can find him in both lines, nine times out of ten."

Li Yu didn't have any joy, if he could, he hoped that he had never found that strong and sensible child.

"What's next? Are you going to arrest him and try him? ”

Su Xiaozhou was very hesitant, stealing the imperial tomb was a big crime of the nine clans, Wu Fenglin did things alone, and his seriously ill wife and half-grown children were so innocent.

Li Yu sighed softly, "Let's be sure first." ”

"How can you be sure?"

"Most of the medicines I prescribed to him today are expensive. Looking at the situation at his family, if he wants to use medicine, he must take out something of great value and sell it. I have arranged for someone to stay nearby, as long as this kid takes out the artifact and sells it, everyone can get the stolen goods. ”

"And then? Are you really going to arrest him? ”

"We'll talk about it then."

Under the setting sun, the figures of the two people stretched longer and longer, and gradually disappeared at the end of the road.

*****

Three days later, Dr. Li and his wife from the "Ankang Ward" in Beicheng came to the outside of the Wu family's small house again.

According to the report of the squatting yacha, he didn't see Momo sell anything, but he just went out early every day, went to work at the Caoyun wharf, and only went to the nearby pharmacy to grab medicine after paying his salary in the evening. The docks were so crowded and chaotic that they didn't keep an eye on him the whole time, and they weren't sure if he had ever left.

Li Yu is very sure that such an older child will definitely not be able to buy so many medicines with the wages of work. If Momo deliberately hides it, it means that he has become wary and suspicious of the people around him. I wanted to wait a little longer, but he couldn't help but come to the door to take a look. Su Xiaozhou stared at him tightly, and as soon as he went out, she followed him.

"Okay, everything depends on my eyes."

Before knocking on the door, Li Yu couldn't help but add another sentence.

This is the eighth time he has reminded him today.

"Got itβ€”"

Su Xiaozhou was a little impatient, and he stepped forward and knocked on the wooden door.

The door soon opened, revealing a small, dark face, and a pair of shining eyes stood out.

Although Momo looked tired, he still smiled brightly at them.

"Doctor Li, Mrs. Li, why are you here? I'm about to go out to work, and I'll be in trouble if I'm late. ”

Li Yu smiled a little apologetically, "Don't worry about your mother, come to the follow-up in advance." You...... Where to work? ”

"The docksβ€”"

Momo made no secret of it, smiling and leading them in.

Su Xiaozhou hid his surprised look and looked around at the small mansion.

The Wu family's house is not large, with only one entry and three rooms. Although the house is dilapidated, it is very tidy, and a laurel tree is planted in the courtyard, full of small pale yellow flowers, although the season has passed, the fragrance is not as strong as when it first blooms, and the fresh breath still makes people feel relaxed. There are all kinds of handicraft utensils hanging on the outer wall, and you can see the ingenuity of the owner.
