Chapter 41: Tracking
The next day of smelling tea passed very regularly, every day was Xia Youmian, Wei Penglan, occasionally skipping class to see Mr., and then obediently going to class and reading.
Xia Youmian can now easily go up the mountain in half an hour, and when he goes down the mountain, he has indeed lost some weight, thinking that he can start learning kung fu, but Wen Ming added a lot of obstacles on the road, saying that he is not thin enough.
Because he was often with Wei Penglan, he occasionally saw Wei Jiyan in the academy, and he just nodded and said hello.
The days passed quickly, and it was time for the monthly holiday again, Wen Ming didn't go back last month, and she didn't deliver the news to Aunt Feng this time, so she planned to go back for two days temporarily.
didn't go with Wei Penglan, and after school that day, he came back alone.
Their yard is in Pingrong Lane in the west of the city, the environment is quiet, a little far away from the downtown area, to the alley, the sky is already dark, there is no one on the road, the door of the courtyard is closed, but you can also see the lights in the courtyard, on the bluestone road, her steps are light, and you can almost hear her heartbeat when she smells tea.
She seemed to walk slowly, but her body was tense and her palms were covered with sweat.
Someone followed her, and she followed her soon after she came out of the academy, and she followed all the way, she was definitely a master, and she had no way to get rid of this damn ancient light skill.
The smell of danger is very strong!
She couldn't show that she had found the other party, and she didn't know how much the other party knew about her, so she couldn't walk around, she could only walk in the direction of home.
Once the other party knows her details, if she is clever, she is likely to be recognized.
She was about to walk to the gate of the courtyard, and Aunt Feng didn't know if she had come back. She was hesitating whether to go back, in case there was danger, Aunt Feng was at home, which would bring danger to her.
If she fights to the death, there is still a glimmer of hope for her.
She walked slowly, with a gentle and even step, while thinking about it in her heart.
Suddenly, I looked at the child squatting at the gate of the yard asking for food, with his hair scattered.
When he saw her, he approached, stretched out his bowl and said, "Good Samaritan, I haven't eaten for a day, so let's enjoy two mouthfuls of food!" ”
Wen Ming glanced at him and said, "I don't know if there is any food at home, you can come in with me!" ”
The child who asked for food followed Wen Ming into the courtyard, but Aunt Feng did not come back.
Wen Ming felt that the eagle-like sight behind him suddenly disappeared.
As soon as his body was loosened, his steps were a little unsteady.
She leaned against the door and whispered to the child who asked for food, "Come into the house with me first!" ”
Closing the door and coming to the inner hall, he asked, "Why are you?" How are you squatting here? ”
"Benefactor, you still remember me!" Then he looked around twice, approached Wen Ming and said; "Benefactor, I found out that someone has recently been checking on your house and near the shop, and he has been following the shopkeeper in the shop while you are not there."
"How do you know?" Wen Ming couldn't help but wonder.
"I begged for food on the street every day, scurrying around, and saw the benefactor and the shopkeeper together, and then the shopkeeper knew where your shop and home lived, and I would come to your shop and your home every day to go around, and I found out!" The boy talked about the situation these days.
"No one notices you, does he?" Wen Ming asked worriedly.
"You won't pay attention to me, I'm just asking for food all the way, and I'm going to stop and go!" The boy said with certainty.
"Squatting on my doorstep just to tell me this?" Wen Ming's voice was indescribably gentle.
The young man nodded: "I waited for many days and didn't find the benefactor back." ”
Wen Ming reached out to brush the hair from his face, put it behind his ears, looked into his eyes and said, "Don't do it again, it's dangerous!" ”
"But I want to help my benefactor!" The boy also looked at her, his eyes bright.
"Are you scared then?"
"Don't be afraid!" The half-grown boy shook his head, his expression very determined.
How can you not be afraid! When she returned, she felt the danger so intense! It was a murderous man.
A bad boy who steals things in people's eyes, because of a little warmth and kindness, this is repaying with life!
The young man's words also made Wen Ming understand that it was the right decision for her to go home obediently before, and that person knew the location of the shop and home.
"Is my sister better?" Wen Ming continued to ask.
"I still can't get the copper plate, but it's better." The boy was honest.
"Sister is in danger, are you coming?" Wen Ming made this decision.
If you want to repay your child and don't let him do anything, he may do something more dangerous.
The young man looked at Wen Ming with a happy face and nodded violently.
"What's your name? How old is this year? Wen Ming asked him.
"Lin Xu, my mother said that it was the 'Xu' of Zhang Yu's Xu, and he is almost fourteen years old this year." The boy replied.
Wen Ming frowned, she had read a lot of books during this time, Xu, why did she take this meaning?
What is the "thread" of Zhang Yu's thread?
The thin body of the child in front of him looked like he was about ten years old, and he could tell that he was almost fourteen years old. It's just that the occasional expression makes people not feel so immature, so let's take care of it in the future!
Now is not the time to wrestle with the meaning of the name, so I forget about it.
Earnestly ordered: "Listen to what my sister will tell next." Wen Ming said and took out ten taels of silver to him: "Tomorrow, I will take my sister to find a shop to buy clothes and shoes, and then go to the shop to find the shopkeeper Aunt Feng, and say that you will be a buddy, and my sister will be a maid." ”
He plucked the hairpin on his head again and handed it to him: "Give this to Aunt Feng, she will take you in." ”
"When the time comes, you tell Aunt Feng not to go home for the time being, just live in the backyard of the shop, and you live there with your sister. There are many people on Dongfu Street, which is safer than at home. ”
"Are there any other beggars with you?" Wen Ming continued to ask.
"Yes! And many more. The boy nodded.
"After settling down in the shop, I will go back and tell those begging people that the shopkeeper is a good man, and the location of the shop and home is revealed to the begging people, and if they come, let Aunt Feng give them more copper plates."
"Do you hear that?" Wen Ming patted him on the shoulder.
Lin Xu took the silver and hairpin in his hand and nodded heavily.
"Aunt Feng didn't come home, there was no food at home, so she went out to buy something to eat!" Then he continued to pull out his hair and covered his face: "When you go out, be careful, someone is following you when my sister comes back." ”
Lin Xu raised his head and asked, "Is it dangerous for my sister to be at home alone?" Lin Xu also shouted his sister with Wen Ming's title. He thought it was a nice and nice title.
Although his hair covered his entire face, Wen Ming still felt the worry in his eyes through the middle of his hair, Wen Ming said soothingly: "Don't worry, I'm gone, it means that there is no danger, I will go back to the academy tomorrow, if you find any findings or problems, remember to go to Xiangshan Academy to hand me a letter, and then find someone following or probing, just let them, don't fight them, you can't stay here for too long, so as not to make people suspicious, let's go!" ”
Lin Xu kept Wen Ming's words in mind and left obediently.
Wen Ming stayed vigilant and fresh all night.
She didn't know who the other party was and why she was following her.
In her memory, except for Song Mingyuan, a person with a grudge, she has not provoked such a dangerous person.
But in her previous life, it was said that she was abducted because of the riots of the people, which led to the rampant mountain bandits, so she was kidnapped, causing her to disappear, so she didn't have the initiative to fight against her.
Who the hell is looking into her?
Her instincts told her that he was spying on her, not Aunt Feng.
If you want to investigate Aunt Feng, you don't need to go to the academy to follow her at all.
There is Aunt Feng in the traces of her life, but Aunt Feng's life trajectory can be said to have nothing to do with her.
She got up early the next day and didn't rush to the academy.
She had to be the same as usual.
She went to the neighborhood to have an early meal and read a book at home. After two days of being closed, I left a note for Aunt Feng and left.
