13. Plan before you act

Zhang Zhen was naked, sitting on the kang and recalling again. Suddenly, the image in his head stopped in the hall last night. He slowly "watched" what was happening, from the appearance of the black shadow to the black shadow jumping off the wall and leaving. This action is exactly the same as Sun Laohan's action just now!

Zhang Zhen was nervous and excited, he compared it a few more times, and he finally confirmed it.

That's right, this action is the action of the dark shadow last night. Could it be that Sun Laohan is the man in black?

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhen couldn't help but exclaim.

His call made the embarrassed people outside have steps, and Zhang Datou spoke first: "You broken baby, when is it time, you can't get up yet." Ren Lei Lei has already practiced two teams of skills. You see that the snow in the yard has not been swept now, and it is so lazy to make a coward! ”

Zhang Datou scolded in his mouth, then turned around and went back to the hall, he didn't want to expose this old man Sun who had been hiding his strength in person.

Zhang Lingfeng listened to Zhang Datou say that Zhang Lei had practiced two team skills, and his face was hot for a while. The master in front of him just now praised Zhang Lei in front of him as if he was like a martial artist. But he has practiced for so long to have such a ability, and he blames himself for not being able to teach it. Thinking of this, he didn't say Zhang Lei anymore. gave Zhang Lei a look and asked him to play by himself, and then turned around and followed Zhang Datou into the house.

Zhang Lei saw that the master no longer mentioned the matter of letting him take the big top, so he turned around and picked up the door curtain that was kicked down by Sun Laohan and carried it to Zhang Zhen's house.

At this time, the most embarrassing thing is actually Sun Laohan, he is not trying to reveal anything, but just to save himself in an emergency. But he never expected that this would make everyone silent. He didn't know how to explain it, so he could only walk into the house in a daze. He knew in his heart that after such a move, he would never want to live a peaceful life like before in the future.

Zhang Zhen, who knew the simple truth, quickly got up from the kang and prepared to get dressed and get off the kang. He wants to talk to Zhang Lei about this big secret. He felt that there was definitely a big secret behind this, not just the treasure map that Zhang Lei said before. His instincts told him that there was a lot going on here.

Zhang Lei walked into Zhang Zhen's house and threw the broken door curtain on a backrest chair in Zhang Zhen's house. Then he took off his shoes and hurried on the kang. He urgently needed to warm his feet and hands that had been tortured by his master.

Zhang Zhen only wore a pair of pants, and before he could get dressed, he saw Zhang Lei come in with a ball of things, and went directly to the kang without saying anything.

Zhang Zhen, who had the ability, naturally knew what had just happened, and he didn't talk to Zhang Lei, so he said while dressing: "Why did you provoke your master, your master is so angry?" ”

"Well, don't mention it, count me unlucky. When I saw Mr. Sun this morning, I didn't greet him. My master said that I had no manners, and then he got angry. What do you call this?,Haven't you usually asked?,Besides, we're not familiar with each other.。 Zhang Lei said and put his hands and feet into the bed where Zhang Zhen was sleeping just now and warmed up.

When Zhang Zhen heard him say this, he also muttered and said: "It's Sun Laohan again, my grandfather also promised to let me recognize him as my godfather!" ”

Zhang Lei also cried and laughed when he heard Zhang Zhen say this. said: "Yes, you said that Sun Laohan doesn't know how many years he has been in this village, why did he get close to us at this time?" ”

Zhang Zhen also put on his clothes and sat on the edge of the kang to prepare to get off the kang. Hearing Zhang Lei say this, he thought of the previous incident where Sun Laohan treated him. said to Zhang Lei: "Do you remember the day I told you that I was not feeling well?" This old man Sun pointed me out. I won't be tormented. My grandfather probably agreed to let me be a grandson for Sun Laohan because of this. ”

Zhang Lei only heard Zhang Zhen talk about the strange illness he had before, but he didn't mention Sun Laohan. jokingly said: "So, this old man Sun is also a strange person." Not only is he strong in kung fu, but he also knows how to heal. You don't suffer if you think he is a grandfather, when the time comes, you will learn his kung fu and marry his granddaughter to be your daughter-in-law. Hahaha, how could such a good thing fall on you. ”

Zhang Zhen listened to Zhang Lei's more and more unorthodox, so he said seriously: "Don't you think Sun Laohan's body style just now is very familiar?" ”

Saving people urgently just now, coupled with being shocked by Sun Laohan's superb kung fu, Zhang Lei didn't think much about it for a while. Now when I heard Zhang Zhen say this, I immediately recalled it, and I also felt that Sun Laohan's figure was very familiar. But where did you see it?

Zhang Zhen has a special ability, so naturally it has been confirmed. Zhang Lei thought about it for a long time, and always felt that the truth was in front of him, but his head was suddenly blindfolded, and he didn't think about it for a long time.

Zhang Zhen looked at Zhang Lei's anxious thinking, and couldn't bear to continue looking. Just say, "Last night, do you remember the futon you kicked over?" ”

Zhang Lei couldn't think of it for a long time, and was comparing Sun Laohan with the people he had seen who was good at kung fu one by one. When he heard Zhang Zhen say this, he immediately remembered the dark shadow he encountered in the temple last night.

Zhang Lei looked at Zhang Zhen and exclaimed: "You mean, he is the ...... last night"

Before Zhang Lei finished speaking, Zhang Zhen quickly turned over and covered his mouth while lying on the kang. Whisper, "Shhhh ”

Zhang Lei nodded, indicating his understanding.

Zhang Zhen let go of his hand, sat up and whispered, "Have you forgotten that I have special abilities?" I can remember it vividly. I can be sure that Sun Laohan's body style is the body style of the man in black last night. But if it's Sun Laohan, I don't understand why he went to the temple? ”

"Is it stealing? But didn't we also see the things in the temple later, and there was nothing missing? ”

Zhang Zhen said: "Didn't I let you watch me go in last night?" When I went in, I always felt like someone was following me, but I couldn't find anyone. Later, it's up to you to come in. But what makes me strange is, do you say that your kid's kung fu has Sun Lao Henkel? ”

Zhang Lei did see Sun Laohan's kung fu just now, if you want to talk about strength, Sun Laohan probably can't do it. But if you want to talk about kung fu and skills, you really can't talk about it on the same day as Sun Laohan. Zhang Lei didn't know what Zhang Zhen was going to say, so he could only shake his head and continue to let Zhang Zhen continue.

Zhang Zhen continued: "When you came in, I didn't hear your footsteps. I didn't feel it until your hand grabbed me. Then you say that Sun Laohan is higher than you, how can I hear his voice? ”

Zhang Lei heard Zhang Zhen say this, and quickly explained: "It's not that I'm good at kung fu, I was alone outside, I'm afraid." Later, when I saw you go in alone, I was even more afraid. As soon as you entered, I followed you in. At first, I could still hear your breathing, but I didn't breathe after a few steps. I stood down and listened, and I waited a few minutes until I saw you at the door of the main hall, and then I went up and grabbed you. ”

When Zhang Lei said this, Zhang Zhen understood in his heart. It turned out that the voice he heard was not from the black shadow, but from Zhang Lei. The one he stepped on was the one he stepped on.

Zhang Zhen suddenly realized. Then he said, "That's right, so that the black shadow arrived in the temple before us, but before he could act, we went in." I guess he wanted to wait for us to leave before he acted, but he didn't expect to be discovered by you. ”

When Zhang Lei heard this, he couldn't help but be afraid. sighed in a low voice: "Fortunately, he ran away at that time and didn't resist, if he resisted, the two of us together would not be his opponent." ”

Since Zhang Zhen's body has undergone the last change, his psychology has become stronger, and his mind has become more meticulous. He said, "No, just make a sneaky move at him." He was also afraid of being discovered, and he couldn't run, so how could he do it? ”

Zhang Lei listened to Zhang Zhen's analysis and was also thinking. Yes, how could this old man Sun do it, he has been in this village for so many years, if he didn't protect himself today, it is estimated that no one would find out his secret.

Thinking of this, he asked Zhang Zhen curiously: "Then you say, let's go to the temple to see the mark, what is Sun Laohan doing in the temple?" ”

Zhang Zhen is also thinking about this problem. When he heard Zhang Lei ask, he thought of the purple gold lantern that was carried home by Li Slender Monkey. He lowered his voice and said, "Purple gold lantern!" ”

Zhang Lei didn't expect Zhang Zhen to say the purple gold lamp, he listened to it and said with a disdainful face: "You mean that oily broken lamp?" I don't want it!"

Zhang Zhen heard Zhang Lei so disdainful, so he said: "Hmph, you don't want it, someone can ask for it." That's a miracle. If you don't believe it, let's go to the temple and see the box. See if anyone has moved. ”

Originally, I went to the temple yesterday, and I had already made the whole village restless. If you go again, it will be a self-defeating net. Zhang Lei looked at Zhang Zhen in surprise, glared at him and said, "You have a fever, are you still afraid that things will not be big enough?" ”

"I didn't say that I would go secretly like last night, but this time we will go generously. Go during the day, it is our temple in Gengzhuang, not the temple of Zhang Blind and Li Deaf. Shall we burn incense? ”

Zhang Zhen had already planned what to do, he was going to the temple again to see if the man in black was going towards the purple gold lamp.

Zhang Lei didn't know what medicine was sold in Zhang Zhen's gourd, things were already like this, he didn't bother to ask, so he had to listen to Zhang Zhen's words and see what he could do.

After Zhang Zhen finished speaking, he began to wash up and eat. Zhang Lei had slept late last night, and he got up early in the morning. Coupled with his master's training, he was sleepy and cold. simply made up for sleep at Zhang Zhen's house.

When Zhang Lei woke up again, there was no one in the room. He looked at the clock on the wall, and it was already past eleven o'clock. He slept for three hours. Zhang Zhen was not in the house, and the teapot on the stove on the ground was boiling water.

Zhang Lei rubbed his face, feeling warm in his hands and feet, and his whole body was very comfortable. He stared aimlessly at the room with his eyes open. Then sit up and look out the window. The snow in the yard is gone. Look at it again, it was Zhang Zhen who was busy sending the snow that had been swept up to the outside of the yard. He hurriedly got up, thinking about helping Zhang Zhen.

Before Zhang Lei went out, he heard the master in the hall, Zhang Datou and Sun Laohan coming out. They talked and laughed until they reached the door.

I only heard Sun Laohan say: "Since I have already made a fool of myself in front of the two of you today, then I will use my place in the future." ”

Zhang Datou said, "Okay, you go home first." We'll go to the village committee for a meeting later. I won't keep you. Zhenzhen, help your grandpa go home. ”

I heard Sun Laohan say again: "It's okay, it's okay, I can do it, let the child be busy." ”

Zhang Lei didn't hear Master Zhang Lingfeng speak, only listened to the voice that just now was getting farther and farther away. Presumably Sun Laohan went home.

Zhang Datou and Zhang Lingfeng did not enter the house, they agreed last night to go to the village committee for a meeting to discuss the matter of someone breaking into the mountain temple at night.

Zhang Lei heard that the three old men had gone away before they came out to help Zhang Zhen clean up the snow in the yard, so he asked Zhang Zhen: "Now that they are all going to the meeting, shall we go to the temple?" ”

Zhang Zhen, who was packing up his broom, said, "Now? No way. Isn't it the same to go there behind someone's back and to go secretly? We want to go openly. ”

Zhang Lei is a little puzzled, isn't it called above board in broad daylight?

Zhang Zhen looked at his puzzled look and said: "We are above board, it doesn't matter if we say it ourselves, we have to let others say it." Let's go find Li Gen later, didn't his grandfather take the purple gold lamp? Let's go and see the lights, and then call Li Gen to go with us. ”

Zhang Lei looked at Zhang Zhen and couldn't help but marvel. Is this still the Zhang Zhen who grew up with him? The academic performance is not very good, and now that I am doing this kind of thing, I have a good appearance, and my head is the way.

All the adults in charge of the village have gone to the village committee, and now there are some old people, children and women who are at home.

Zhang Zhen and Zhang Lei simply cleaned up, and went out to go straight to Li Slender Monkey's house on the south side of the Whimpering River.

Li Slender Monkey father and son, as important figures in Geng Zhuang at this time, also went out early. There are only Li Gen and his sister Li Ke in the family, as well as Li Gen's mother.

Li Slender Monkey earned a lot of money when he was young, and his family's house was relatively well repaired, and it was the only two-story building in the village. Zhang Zhen and Li Gen's brother and sister are classmates and have a good relationship. However, because the Zhang and Li families are separated by a river, coupled with the rules of their ancestors, Zhang Zhen rarely comes to the other side of the river except when he does bad things.

When it snowed, Li Gen got up very early, cleaned up the snow at home with his sister, and took advantage of the fact that Li Skinny Monkey was secretly watching TV while the brother and sister were going out.

Zhang Zhen knew that there was no adult in charge at home, so he was a little bolder. didn't knock on the door, and ran directly to the room where Li Gen's brothers and sisters were watching TV with Zhang Lei. Then tiptoe in.

The TV of Li Slender Monkey's house is an ornament, which is already a secret of the whole village, and now Zhang Lei feels funny when he sees this scene, so he is ready to tease Li Gen's brothers and sisters.

Zhang Lei suppressed his voice and imitated the voice of Li Slender Monkey, and said sharply behind Li Gen's brothers and sisters: "You two rabbit cubs, you are still secretly watching TV!" See that I don't kill you. ”

Before Zhang Lei's words were finished, he saw Li Gen rushing up with a brisk step, unplugging the TV, and then looking back. Li Ke didn't react much, just quietly looked at the two people who were pranks.

Looking at Li Gen who looked flustered, Zhang Zhen and Zhang Lei couldn't help laughing.

Li Gen came back to his senses and immediately ran over to arrest Zhang Lei and Zhang Zhen. So, except for Li Ke, who was sitting still, the three of them had a fight at Li Slender Monkey's house.

After making a fuss, Zhang Zhen said to Li Gen: "Li Gen, are we brothers?" ”

Li Gen didn't know what Zhang Zhen was going to say, and he didn't know how to pick it up. glanced at Zhang Lei next to him, expecting him to say something.

Zhang Lei also saw the doubts in Li Gen's heart and said: "Zhenzhen, you can just say it, don't detour him, his elm head, he can't figure it out if he talks too much!" ”

Before Zhang Lei's words were finished, Li Gen strangled Zhang Lei's neck and said, "Who are you talking about?" ”

When Zhang Zhen saw that they started to play again, he became serious, lowered his voice and said, "Don't make trouble yet, listen to me." ”

Zhang Lei and Li Gen stopped and looked at Zhang Zhen.

There were just three of them in the room, and Li Ke, who was originally sitting on a stool watching TV, didn't know where to go when he saw them fighting.

Zhang Zhen lowered his voice, and then said solemnly: "Let's prepare to do something big next." Let's say it first, don't make a noise, the three of us know about it. Can't say it. ”

Li Gen saw Zhang Zhen's solemn face, so he urged anxiously: "Can you hurry up and say okay?" ”

Zhang Zhen was very cautious, and he looked around. Then he said, "I want to catch turtles in the urn." There was a thief in our village, and since he didn't steal anything last night, he will come back later. Leizi and I analyzed that it was for the purple gold lamp. So, I decided to catch the thief. ”

Zhang Lei, who had not spoken on the side, was shocked. Didn't you say okay to take Li Gen to the temple? When are you going to catch the thief again? I didn't say it before.

Zhang Zhen continued: "If we want to catch this thief, we have to come up with some stratagem. Let's go to the temple first to make sure that the thief is trying to steal the purple gold lamp. If we are sure that he is going for the purple gold lamp, we will set up a bureau in the temple and catch him as soon as possible. ”

As soon as Li Gen heard that he was going to catch the thief, he was immediately interested. Fourteen or fifteen years old is an adventurous age. He listened with relish.

"If you want to catch a thief, then take me."

When Zhang Zhen heard that it was Li Ke's voice, he hurriedly turned back to look for it. I saw Li Ke standing upstairs, looking at them.

When Li Gen heard that his sister was also going, he said, "You are a girl, stay at home." It's about catching thieves, not about playing games. ”

Li Gen has been strong and clumsy since he was a child, and no matter how he practiced, he couldn't play the game of "firefighting" during the "Thirteenth Trouble". He saw that his sister won a color TV for the first time this year, and he was quite unwilling. There was a hint of jealousy between the words.

Zhang Zhen didn't think there was anything when he heard it, they were all classmates in the same class, and it was relatively smooth to be a partner with Li Ke when he was "fighting fires" this year. Li Ke is as light as a swallow and has his own set of kung fu.

When Li Ke heard Li Gen say this, he said loudly: "I heard it all just now, if you don't let me go, I'll go around shouting." ”

Li Gen looked at his rude sister and didn't know what to say. I can only sigh and look at Zhang Zhen, hoping that Zhang Zhen can think of a good way.

Zhang Zhen glanced at Li Ke, who was upstairs, and said, "You come down first, and we'll talk about it." ”

After Li Ke came down, Zhang Zhen told them the plan to catch the thief, and then each had a division of labor and performed its own duties.

After the plan was formulated and arranged, Zhang Zhen said to Li Gen and Zhang Lei: "Then let's go to the temple now and check it carefully." ”

With that, the three of them went straight to the temple halfway up the mountain.
