Wu Long was walking boredly and lazily, when he suddenly heard someone calling, and looked up to see that it was his cousin Chen Dazhu who was standing in a jade shop called "Yu Xinran".

Chen Dazhu is in his forties and is a distant cousin of Wu Long's mother, whom Wu Long calls his cousin. Seeing that it was Chen Dazhu who called him, Wu Long hesitated, he didn't really want to deal with this cousin, and he didn't know what to look for him at this time.

"Cousin, my master told me that I still have something."

Chen Dazhu beckoned to him, "You come over and have a cup of tea first, just a few words!" ”

Wu Long thought for a while, then walked into the jade shop, and said, "Cousin, it's your mahjong parlor again, right?" He greeted an old man in his sixties inside: "Boss Jiang! How is business going? “

The old man's name was Jiang Pingzhi, the owner of this jade shop, and when he saw Wu Long walking in, he hurriedly got up and gave up his seat, and said with a smile: "Business is average, and you can eat with a mouth." How can I compare with you. “

Wu Long didn't sit, but just picked up the tea that Jiang Pingzhi made for him and drank: "I won't sit down, my master still has something to do." Have you received any good goods lately? He looked into the cupboard.

Jiang Pingzhi laughed: "I haven't picked up good goods for a long time!" “

Chen Dazhu walked up to Wu Long and said, "Long'er, you better say hello to those people, they have been going to me all the time these days, so that others don't dare to play with me." “

"The vigilante?" Wu Long asked.

Chen Dazhen: "Yes. “

After listening to his words, Wu Long prepared to leave, and said, "Okay, I know, is there anything else?" ”

Chen Dazhu said: "Just this matter, you remember to tell them, otherwise I won't be able to do that business!" “

Wu Long waved his hand impatiently: "Oh, I know! So he went to the door, and went to his master.

Chen Dazhu and his wife Zhang Cuihua opened a hemp restaurant by the river in front of Huashi Street. From here, go out along the street to the river, the surging Xizhou River comes from the south and goes around the county seat to hit a bay here, the river becomes wider, the water flow becomes smooth and clear in this, the bank of the river is shaded by green trees, the breeze is blowing, there are many people who come here during the day and night, those who hang out, those who enjoy the shade, those who play tricks, those who talk about love, those who sell all kinds of snacks, it is very lively. Chen Dazhu's mahjong parlor business here is naturally very hot. It's just that recently, the security team has been making trouble with him from time to time, so he can't do business, so he asked Wu Long and asked him to help with it.

Chen Dazhu is not a local, and no one can say exactly when he came to Xizhou. In the early years, he took his wife to work in the provincial capital and the capital, and for a few years, he also worked as a human trafficker, and also went to the countryside to buy antiques, and he and Jiang Pingzhi met like this. In recent years, it is rare to see him go out, and more often people see him drinking tea and chatting in Jiang Pingzhi's shop.

Chen Pengzhan's shop is in the middle of Huashi Street. When Wu Long came, he was unloading the door of the shop. The door is still the same as before, made of 24 one-foot-wide planks, 10 on the left and 10 on the right, and the door in the middle. There are two large clay pots at the door, and two roses are planted in the pots, and the flowers are blooming brightly. The plaque directly above the door reads "Mozhuzhai" in three large cursive characters.

Chen Pengzhan's shop is not big, but it is exquisitely arranged, there are many calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall in the middle of the store, and the eye-catching position in the middle is hung Huaisu and He Shaoji's two authentic ink treasures, which are the treasures of the town store of "Mozhuzhai". Most of the other hangings are calligraphy and painting works of some contemporary celebrities and local literati in Xizhou.

When Wu Long was eight years old, his father sent him here to learn martial arts with Chen Pengzhan. Eat and live here, and Xizhou, where he goes to school, is very close to here. Chen Pengzhan has no children and no daughters, and he treats Wu Long like his own son. Chen Peng exhibited martial arts, and people outside didn't know that when he taught Wu Long on weekdays, he was in the back patio.

After some old houses in Xizhou enter the door, there is a screen in the middle, which is made of bricks and wooden boards, and there are two side doors on both sides of the screen leading to the back, and there will be a flat land similar to a courtyard in the back, which is open-air, and the people of Xizhou call this a patio. Generally large families only have houses.

Chen Pengzhan is like his own son to Wu Long, he teaches him martial arts without reservation, Wu Long is smart, and he has learned seven or eighty percent of his unique skills, but his internal strength can't keep up, but it is enough to be proud of the entire Xizhou. Last time in Wuma Town, Wu Long showed two tricks to make the old man recognize at a glance, he was really taken aback, and when he came back, he wanted to talk to the master, but when he thought that it was just an old man passing by, he didn't tell Chen Pengzhan.

Chen Pengzhan has been in Xizhou for more than 20 years, since he came to this street, the neighbors have not seen his relatives and friends, he told people that he used to do business outside, once carelessly let people deceive, lost his family, and had no way out. One of his relatives called him over when he said that there was a house in Xizhou, and the relative was now abroad and would not return for a while, so he asked him to do some small business here, and by the way, he helped him look at the house.

According to the old man on the street, the owner of this house is indeed surnamed Chen, and he lived on this street in the former Qing Dynasty.

When Chen Pengzhan was done, Wu Long had already boiled water on the coffee table and made a pot of thick Tu'er for him, and he knew that the master didn't drink any other tea except for Tu'er.

Chen Pengzhan washed his hands and came over to drink a cup of tea first, first asked about Wu Long's business, and then asked him about his daily practice.

Wu Long told him one by one, thinking that it was impossible for the master to call him over today just to ask him about these things, so he asked, "Master, is there anything you did when you asked me to come over today?" “

Chen Pengzhan said while making tea: "It's nothing, it's just that business is difficult to do now, I want to tell you, if you don't have much to do on weekdays, go to Wuma Town to catch up with the next set, and see if you can help me find the little antiques painted by Braille and come back." “

"Five Horse Town?" Wu Longleng paused, "Master, Wuma Town is a place where birds don't, and it's in the mountains, what valuable treasures can be found?" “

Chen Pengzhan said: "Wuma Town used to be a very prosperous ancient town, in the past it was a necessary place for traders in the southeast and northwest, and it was still very lively in the late Qing Dynasty. “

Wu Long muttered: "What age is it now, and you can still pick up those toys?" “

Chen Pengzhan smiled: "Didn't I tell you to go for a walk when you're fine, luck is going to hit!" Hehe, I don't want you to find anything. “

Wu Long was a little puzzled: "Why do you have to go to Wuma Town?" ”

Chen Pengzhan was a little unhappy: "Where did you come from so much, why?" I'm not happy to ask you to help me do such a little thing by the way? “

Wu Long suddenly laughed happily: "Yes!" What the master told me, I still don't want to? ″

Thinking of Wuma Town, it immediately reminded him of Liu Yunwen, the girl he never forgot.
