The brothers who returned to the Central Plains with Zhongbao were placed in the row by Lao Shi and their ranks. They saw that the merchant village was so grand, they all continued to admire, and after a few days, although the merchant village was good, but homesick, they still proposed to leave.

Shang Zhongbao was sent to the door of their merchant Zhuangshi.

"I'm really sorry to disturb your village for many days. ”

"Anyway, are we finally together through the tribulations? Zhongbao said, and shouted to the quadrangular tower on the left: "Uncle Shi, are the things ready?"

"Ready. The old stone answered, and came out of the left quadrangular tower.

"The owner has prepared a gift for each of you, and you all bring it. Shang Zhongbao said.

"Ah, the owner gave us a gift, which is so kind. ”

"The owner of the village is really benevolent!"

"It is no wonder that Shangzhuang is known as the first village in the world, a family of Confucianism, and a gentleman's home. ”

......

For a while, there was a lot of discussion.

Lao Shi took the gifts from the left corner and distributed them to everyone.

"Anyway, let's all have a fellowship, a fellowship. Shang Zhongbao said.

"Shang Shaojun really looks up to us, we can make a noble person like you, it's really a blessing for three lives!"

"Three lives are lucky!"

"Three lives are lucky!"

......

They took the gifts, and they all bowed to Zhongbao with their fists, and Zhongbao also returned the salute, and they went to the official road one by one, ready to leave the merchant village.

Heng'er stood aside, and saw that they were all happily receiving gifts, but he didn't see Lao Shi giving him a gift, so he said, "Steward Shi, where is my gift?"

"This ...... , the owner did not command. ”

"Brother Heng, what are you talking about, do you want to leave too?" Shang Zhongbao, who was standing on the side, said.

"I want to go with them. ”

"What are you doing here! My father promised to ask you about my missing sister, it's still early, how can you say leave now?"

Somehow, Heng'er seemed to have a premonition that he wanted to leave the merchant village as soon as possible, and he didn't want to stay in the merchant village for too long.

"My sister is missing, there is no clue at all, inquiring about her news, it is like a waterlogged needle in the sea, I don't want to trouble Guizhuang, I want to find it myself. ”

Brother Heng, no matter what, there are always more channels for my merchant to find your sister than you alone, and it is better for me to help you inquire than for you alone. ”

When Heng'er heard Zhongbao say this, he was indeed loyal, and thought, wait a little longer, Shang Ruzi said three months, just wait three months, not for a while.

Seeing that Heng'er didn't answer, Zhongbao grabbed Heng'er's hand and said, "My sister and I still want to learn martial arts from you, don't you want to teach us?"

Heng'er smiled and said, "I haven't studied well myself, how can I teach you anything?"

"Nana, you're too modest, your words may be useful to others who don't know you well, but you don't have this need for me, and I don't see your skills in the other world. ”

When Heng'er heard him say this, he had nothing to answer, and obediently followed him into the merchant village.

Wang Heng'er enjoyed the same treatment as the young master Shang Zhongbao in the merchant village, which was really polite to Wang Heng'er. After many days, Wang Heng'er had nothing else to do except accompany Shang Zhongbao and Shang Jiaojiao to practice swords. He really wanted to practice again, but there was a lot of inconvenience in this merchant village, he thought about it again, and in order to get the news of Fang Mei, he still gave up his cultivation for the time being.

The little crocodile elephant has grown a lot of green in the merchant village these days, eating well and sleeping well, and it has grown a lot of time all of a sudden, and Heng'er accidentally found that its fur has been a lot green, and it has grown into an adult crocodile elephant beast.

Heng'er is in the merchant village, and whenever he has free time, he takes the crocodile elephant to the village for a stroll. Outside the village, he intentionally or unintentionally carried out a series of training on the crocodile elephant, but he didn't expect this crocodile elephant, it may be that it has the innate genes of a monster, it is taught by Heng'er, and it is very fast, Heng'er teaches it light skills, it runs away within a few days, even Heng'er can't catch up with it, once Heng'er saw the running crocodile elephant, it can make its feet rarely touch the ground, that is, it has the ability to leap in the air. Heng'er was very happy to see it make such progress, he often sat on it and ran, and the crocodile elephant also liked to run with Heng'er, and one man and one beast cooperated with each other very tacitly. The crocodile elephant sometimes runs more and more vigorously, as if to prove to its owner that it is an adult crocodile elephant beast and can be used as a mount for its owner. In order to be able to summon it when they are far away, Heng'er often whistles to call it, and after several trainings, as soon as the crocodile elephant hears Li'er's whistle, no matter how far away, it can quickly run to Heng'er's side. After a period of time, the communication between Heng'er and the crocodile elephant has almost reached the level of human-to-human communication. Once, Heng'er sat on the crocodile elephant's body, patted its head and said, "You adult crocodile elephant beasts can spit green flames in their mouths, I think you are not small, can you try this skill now." The crocodile seemed to understand Heng'er's words, and really spit out a raging green flame forward, startling Heng'er. Heng'er thought to himself, the little crocodile elephant is indeed an adult crocodile elephant, and he has all the skills of the crocodile elephant beast, Heng'er in order to prevent all these activities of him and the crocodile elephant are carried out outside the village, and the merchant Zhuang does not know at all.

Once, Heng'er inadvertently broke into Shang Ruzi's study. This study room is really large, and the shelves are full of all kinds of books, including books made of bamboo slips, wooden slips, animal skins, silk cloth, and so on. He walked past a bookshelf and bent into the back room, where he saw a brocade figure painting hanging on the wall. He was very curious, so he walked up to the brocade silk painting, there were five people in the brocade silk painting, an old man sat in the middle, surrounded by four young people, the old man in the painting seemed to be explaining something to the young people, there were several columns of annotations on the right, and the first right was seven big characters: "The Ancestor Confucius Teaching Map" was followed by two columns of verses: "The Master taught to sit in four circles, all listening and gathering spirits." When Heng'er saw this, he didn't expect that the merchant was the descendant of Confucius, no wonder the merchant kept saying that their merchant was a scholarly family.

Heng'er was watching intently, only to hear a "pop" sound, someone is coming! He was afraid of being discovered, so he quickly walked out of the study, but he came to the door of the study, but did not find anyone coming, he looked up and saw a yellow bird standing there on the roof of the study, as soon as it saw Heng'er, it plugged in its arms and flew away, Heng'er thought, it turned out to be its fault.

Just these days, Heng'er has a feeling, that is, Jiao'er is a little weird, she seems to have a special look at him, he knows that this is a kind of good impression of him, which did not cause Heng'er anything, on the contrary, it caused him to miss Lan'er.

"Lan'er doesn't know what's going on? Has she also been to the Otherworld?"

"Impossible, if I went to the other world, why didn't I find any clues about her in the other world?"

"No, the Otherworld is so big, if it weren't for the help of the platypus, he wouldn't have been able to find Shang Zhongbao and them. ”

......

In short, Heng'er is full of question marks about Lan'er, and he really wants to find her. But Lan'er went there, and now there, which is a mystery for Heng'er.

"Brother Heng, what are you thinking?" Jiao'er, who came out of the right wing, saw Heng'er standing alone on the practice ground in the courtyard in a daze, so she asked.

"I didn't think about anything, Jiao Mei, how about the swordsmanship I taught you to practice these days?" Heng'er taught Zhongbao and Jiaojiao's swordsmanship is also a set of swordsmanship created by him, but the fusion of Taiyu swordsmanship and Wang's swordsmanship has been slightly changed, so that others can't see what kind of swordsmanship this is.

"Then I'll call you. Jiaojiao went to Heng'er's side, pulled out Heng'er's sword, and fought. Heng'er saw that the daughters of these big families were almost the same, and they had no scruples, so they drew his sword and practiced.

After a set of swordsmanship, Heng'er asked, "Where is your sword?"

"My sword is in the house, how am I doing?"

Heng'er Zou frowned and said, "You still haven't learned." ”

"It's all my father's fault, he didn't let me learn martial arts since I was a child, and he still has a very traditional idea that girls shouldn't learn martial arts. However, since you came, not to mention, he took the initiative to ask me to learn swords from you, don't you think this is strange? Do you think, how can a person like me, who has no foundation in martial arts, learn it well?"

"You can't blame your father at all, in our current situation, not everyone thinks so, especially a big family like you. ”

"That is, my father claims to be a disciple of Confucius, and he is even more strict with me. ”

"Then your dad is also for your own good. ”

"For my good?" Jiao'er said, "I don't really want to learn martial arts, but after you came, I didn't know how to do it, so I wanted to learn from you." Unexpectedly, my father not only agreed, but also took the initiative to ask me to learn from you. ”

"But your foundation is too poor, and it's hard to learn it for a while. ”

"Then you teach me by hand?"

"I've been playing very slowly, trying to see every move clearly, and you still won't. ”

"Then you can hold my hand and teach, won't you?"

"This can't be done, if you let others see it, what kind of strange thing will it be?"

"Isn't this nobody? Can you just teach me to fight once, okay?"

"No way!"

"Good brother, please. ”

When Heng'er heard her say this, she remembered a person, she was Zhao Yu, and these young ladies from big families were all virtuous.

He couldn't help it, he couldn't stand her entanglement, so he grabbed her hand and taught her to practice swords.
