When Satsuki saw the boy, she remembered the legend of the bear child.

The old man glared at his apprentice, and the boy stuck out his tongue and pointed to his feet.

Xiao Yue looked down and saw that the master and apprentice were also wearing cloth shoes, but two straw ropes were tied to the outside of each shoe, and she immediately understood that this was a good way to increase friction and prevent slipping on muddy roads.

So, she said gratefully, "Thank you for your kindness." The boy shoved the straw rope into her hand and looked at her with a smile.

She took straw rope and did the same as they did, and tied it to the outside of her shoes.

"Childe is a local?" the old man smiled, a little appreciative.

"Mr. Hui's words, I have just been here for a short time. ”

"Oh. The old man stroked his beard thoughtfully.

The kid next to him asked anxiously, "Then do you know where the county government of Luodai Town is now?"

Xiao Yue replied: "You want to go to the county office?"

"En. The kid couldn't stop nodding.

Xiao Yue smiled: "What a coincidence, I was about to go to the county office, why don't I show you the way." ”

The old man smiled when he heard this, "There is Lao Gongzi." ”

Xiao Yue waved her hand, "Thank you for your straw rope." ”

Xiao Yue tied the straw rope and took them to the county office.

On the way, Xiao Yue asked with some curiosity: "Are the two of you going to the county government to find people or do errands?"

The old man didn't answer, but asked Xiaoyue, "Is the son serving in the county government?"

Xiao Yue waved her hand and said, "I don't have a public office here, but I just live in the county office temporarily." ”

The old man smiled and said, "Then dare to ask which adult's master Gongzi is?"

Xiao Yue felt that this old man was not simple, and guessed her identity without asking a few words: "Don't dare to be, I am the master of Lord Wen Youwen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs." ”

The kid snorted and covered his mouth again.

The old man just smiled when he heard this, nodded, and said, "Is Lord Wen in Luodai Town now?"

Xiao Yue shook her head, "Lord Wen, he just set off this morning to Yuquan and Pingfeng, which were severely affected. ”

Hearing this, the old man's expression was a little grim, and he lowered his head and thought deeply for a while.

"Under the surname Cao, I am a few years old, and everyone respectfully calls me Mr. Cao, I don't know what to call the son?"

"Mr. Cao, you don't have to be polite, my name is Wen Yue, you can just call me Xiao Yue. Xiao Yue looked at the road, it should be almost at the gate of the county government.

"Wen Yue?" He heard a suspicious expression on his face, but he didn't ask, and said with a smiling face: "Okay, then I'll rely on the old and sell the old, and call you Xiaoyue." ”

Xiao Yue smiled and nodded, the kid kept looking at her with his head sideways, and then said with a smirk: "Xiao Yue, my name is An Pu." ”

When Mr. Cao heard this, he said angrily and funny: "An Pu, Gongzi Wen is older than you, how can you call it that." ”

An Pu stared at Xiao Yue and said with a smile, "Then what do I call you?"

Xiaoyue didn't recruit the bear child at all, and said helplessly: "It's okay, it's okay if you're happy." ”

An Pu turned his head to look at Mr. Cao and said, "Master, he said it's okay." ”

Mr. Cao feigned anger and said: "What did you promise me when you went out? I am so stubborn that I will not take you out in the future." ”

An Pu pouted and said unhappily, "Then it's okay to call Brother Yue." ”

Xiao Yue felt that this title was really ugly, but seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, she hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, just call Brother Yue." She really didn't want to deal with this bear child, so when she saw the gate of the county government, it was like seeing a life-saving straw.

"Mr. Zhang, the stone house in front of you is the temporary county government office of Luodai Town. ”

Old Mr. Cao stopped and asked, "Xiaoyue, how long have you been here?"

Xiao Yue thought for a while and said, "Master Wen and I both arrived at noon yesterday. ”

Mr. Cao then asked: "Have you ever met a Lord Wang, who is in charge of the Ministry of Industry in the state capital. ”

When Xiao Yue heard this, it turned out that she was looking for the eccentric Lord Wang, and she was happy.

"Is it Lord Wang with a goatee?" As soon as Xiao Yue's words fell, An Pu laughed beside her, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands and lowered her head.

Mr. Cao was stunned, and also smiled and said, "Exactly." ”

"Oh, I've seen it. Xiao Yue felt strange, the two of them had no intention of entering the county government.

Mr. Cao asked again: "Then does he live in the county government now?"

Xiao Yue thought for a while and said, "I don't know much about this, otherwise I'll take you in and ask?"

Mr. Cao didn't seem to have this intention, and he said to Xiao Yue, "Can you go in and help me see if he is in the county government now." ”

Xiao Yue felt so strange, looked at the appearance of his master and apprentice, and said, "Aren't you going in to rest?"

Mr. Cao repeatedly excused himself and said, "No need. ”

Xiao Yue thought of the kindness of the gift rope, and saw that it was already dark, so she asked, "It's getting late, do you have a place to stay?"

Mr. Cao said: "Thank you for your concern, if you see Lord Wang, he will arrange it for me." ”

Xiao Yue stopped persuading and let Xu Chengchang stay here to accompany the two masters, and went to the county government alone to ask where Lord Wang was.

Xiaoyue entered the county government and didn't see Zhang Zhixian, so she asked the messenger who guarded the county office, but they said that they had seen Lord Wang at noon, but they hadn't seen it since. She thought about it and decided to go to the backyard study to ask Master Lin about it.

Master Lin was writing paperwork at the desk, and he was full of joy when he saw Xiaoyue's visit.

"Master Wen, have you just come back, have you finished dinner?" said Master Lin as he prepared to make tea for Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue waved her hand and said, "Master Lin doesn't have to be polite, I still have something to do, so I came here to ask you something." ”

Master Lin only thought that he was saying kind words, but he still made the tea, and gave it to Xiaoyue with both hands, "This wind and rain are blowing, you drink hot tea to get rid of the cold." ”

Seeing that he insisted on this, Xiao Yue couldn't shirk it, so she took the tea and took a sip.

"Master Wen, what's the matter?"

"I wonder if Lord Wang from the Ministry of Industry is living in the county government now, why haven't I seen him for a day today?"

Master Lin listened to it and said with a smile: "Master Wen may not know too much, this Lord Wang's style of acting is different from ordinary people, we arranged a place for him to live in the county government, but it is his business that he can't live or not." ”

Xiao Yue felt bad when she heard this, and then asked, "Then where does he live?"

Master Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "Then who knows? He is the lord of the state capital, and we know that the county can't control him." ”

"That's a problem. Satsuki frowned.

Master Lin asked diligently: "Is Master Wen in a hurry to find him?"

Satsuki nodded.

Master Lin thought for a while and said, "Before he went out at noon today, I met him, and he told me that he might not come back tonight." I asked him if he needed people to go there, and he said no. Then I asked him when he would be back, and he was a little upset, and then told me that he didn't know. Speaking of this, he was a little indignant.

Xiao Yue saw that Master Lin had some resentment towards Lord Wang in his tone, so she made a round and said with a smile: "This Lord Wang's style of acting is really peculiar. ”

Master Lin was disgruntled and pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Actually, I am also kind. ”

Xiao Yue said with good words on the surface: "Lord Wang is probably in a hurry, and he doesn't care about his words. In fact, she was anxious about how to talk back to Mr. Cao.

Master Lin also wanted to use this topic to get close to her, and said with a sad face, "Hey, in fact, we as masters often suffer from these nests. ”

Satsuki didn't want to waste any more time with him, so she said, "Well, I still have something to do, and I'll thank you when I'm done." ”

Master Lin immediately changed to a smiling face: "Master Wen is so polite, it's just a trivial matter, if you are willing to come here for a cup of tea, I am very satisfied." ”

"Where, hehe, I'll say goodbye first, and I'll thank you in person another day. Satsuki couldn't wait to leave.

"It's easy to say, then Master Wen, you go slowly. Master Lin saw that he was in a hurry, so he had to wave goodbye.

Xiao Yue hurriedly walked out of the county office, and it was already completely dark at this time.

When she walked to the place where she broke up with Mr. Cao just now, she found that there was no one, not even Xu Chengchang was gone, she felt very strange, where did they go?
