The Taoist priest's robe was tattered, the hat on his head was drooping, his beard was neither long nor short, and the dust in his hand was sparse, and he didn't look like a fairy wind bone.

Leng Tiehu approached the Taoist priest and bowed down: "Excuse me, I want to ask, is there an injured person staying here today?" ”

"Dead, carried away." The Taoist priest's voice sounded strange. He spoke like he was squeezing out of his throat.

"Alas, it's too late." Leng Tiehu sighed, "What does the deceased look like?" Fat or thin, tall or short? ”

The Taoist priest shook off the dust: "Not tall or short, neither fat nor thin." ”

Doesn't that mean you didn't say it? Leng Tiehu was a little disappointed, but he couldn't give up yet, and this might be the only clue.

He then asked, "What kind of clothes did the man wear, and what did others call him?" ”

The Taoist priest said, "Wearing a long robe, others call him 'dog's day' and 'damn liar'." ”

Leng Tiehu shook his head slightly, and asked again, "Who are the people who carried him away?" Where did they carry the dead? ”

The Taoist priest was expressionless: "I don't know." Poor people have never asked about the world. ”

Now that man has been carried away, and is dead. The trail was broken.

The Taoist priest glared at Leng Tiehu fiercely, as if urging him to leave quickly.

Iron Tiger regretted that he was late. If you come one step earlier, maybe see if that person is Boss Wu. If it's Boss Wu, maybe you can find your sister.

He patted his head in annoyance and walked towards the gate of Wenchang Palace. By this time, the sun had set, and a cold wind blew and it began to rain.

The Taoist priest followed behind Leng Tiehu, "sent" him out, closed the door casually, and inserted the door bolt.

Tie Hu stood at the gate of Wenchang Palace, and said silently in his heart: "Emperor Wenchang, your old man told me, what should I do?" ”

The rain fell on the ground and on his heart, and a wave of desolation poured into his lungs. He couldn't help but burst into tears.

Another gust of wind blew, and the rain fell even harder.

With nowhere to go, Tiehu sat down blindly and aimlessly behind a large pillar outside Wenchang Palace.

It's getting darker. He felt chills all over his body and couldn't help but wrap his clothes tighter.

I don't know how long it took, suddenly, with a "squeak", the door of Wenchang Palace opened.

Leng Tiehu peeked from behind the pillar, and saw that the Taoist priest had changed his clothes, with a burden under his arm, and a horse lantern in his hand.

Iron Tiger immediately became vigilant.

The dress worn by the Taoist priest was too familiar, it was the gray satin caftan that Boss Wu of the Phoenix Opera Troupe usually wore.

Iron Tiger seemed to understand something, and he stood up suddenly.

The appearance of the iron tiger surprised the Taoist priest: "You, why haven't you left yet?" ”

Leng Tiehu approached the Taoist priest: "Why is Boss Wu's clothes on you?" Tell me quickly, what about Boss Wu and others? ”

The Taoist priest didn't dare to meet Leng Tiehu's gaze, dodging: "That, that, that person has been carried away." ”

Tie Hu grabbed the burden in the Taoist priest's hand.

The Taoist priest said viciously, "What do you want to do?" It's mine. ”

After all, Tiehu grew up in an opera troupe and practiced kung fu, and as soon as his arm was strained, he pulled the Taoist priest to the ground. The Taoist priest held on to the burden and did not let go.

Tie Hu took a step forward, put his knee on the Taoist priest's back, and stuck his right hand on the Taoist priest's neck: "Come on, where did Boss Wu go?" ”

The Taoist priest screamed, "I, no, know. ”

Tiehu pulled up the Taoist priest and turned over, and then punched him in the jaw, and the corner of the Taoist priest's mouth suddenly flowed blood.

"Tell me, how did this bag and clothes get into your hands? Are you a black-hearted Taoist priest who cheats money? ”

"A good man spares his life, I say I say." The Taoist priest trembled,

"I'm not a Taoist priest, I'm just asking for food. On weekdays, he lives in Wenchang Palace to hide from the wind and rain.

This morning, a middle-aged man ran into Wenchang Palace with an injury. I saw that he was pitiful, so I gave him half a bowl of porridge.

He thanked me for giving me this burden and later gave me the clothes. He changed into other clothes, probably for fear that someone would recognize him. ”

"And then?"

In the afternoon, a group of people came and forced him to take the money. He said no, and they beat him until he was out of breath before he was carried away. The false Taoist priest slowly sat up and said,

"If you think it's fair, let's divide the silver in this burden equally, and divide it in half."

Tiehu opened the bag and saw that there were more than a dozen silver dollars inside, as well as a few account books, and three or four pieces of jewelry.

Tiehu is bent on finding his sister and is not interested in the money.

It can be concluded that Boss Wu did sell the girls in the drama class, and Boss Wu himself did not have a good life.

It is true that good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil. However, as soon as Boss Wu died, no one knew his sister's whereabouts.

Leng Tiehu looked at the beggar sitting on the ground, not knowing whether to hate or mourn.

He was hesitating to return the burden to the beggar when he suddenly felt something hit him in the back of the head. He slumped and fell to the ground.

A person walked out of the Wenchang Palace, holding a wooden stick in his hand. The man scolded the beggar and said, "Fuck, let's go, you kid wants to eat it alone." ”

The beggar lay on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Big brother, how dare you, I'm here to see if there is any danger outside." All is well, and I will go and call you out again. ”

The beggar said as he picked up the burden on the ground and the fallen money and handed it to the man with the stick.

The man threw away the stick, took a few silver dollars, and handed them to the beggar, saying, "Here, take it, it's enough for you to play for a few days." In the future, anyone who mentions today's incident will act as if nothing had happened. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, yes."

The two took advantage of the night that had just fallen and disappeared by the Baiyu River.

……

For several months, Su Yu has been thinking about Tiehu's sister, Miss Xueni. I didn't think about tea, I didn't want to eat, and I was depressed several times, so that Su Zixuan thought he was sick and wanted to ask for a doctor.

Su Yu resolutely did not look at the doctor. He knew that he was not sick in his body, but that he was sick in his heart.

I can't tell the doctor about this disease, and the doctor doesn't have any silver bullet, let alone a friend, only a stuffy heart.

He searched everywhere for news, ostensibly looking for a sister for Tiehu, but in fact, the girl who smiled at him had already captured his heart.

In the play, Tang Bohu smiled a little Qiuxiang three times, Su Yu clearly remembered that Xue Ni also smiled three times.

The first time was when I was singing on stage, I smiled at him.

The second time was when he took the plate and begged for a reward at the end of the performance, he smiled slightly, revealing two small tiger teeth, which was very cute.

The third time was when Shi Xiaoshu went to ask her out, and the girl picked up the curtain and glanced at the stage and smiled.

Today, he finally got some news, he wanted to check with Tiehu, but his mother didn't pay attention to it and forced Leng Tiehu away.

Su Yu was on fire in his heart, and he had nowhere to vent, so he sat alone by the lotus pond in the south courtyard in a daze.

Steward He asked him to eat, and he also pushed it away. Looking at the three or five stumps and leaves in the lotus pond, my heart was full of loss.

It wasn't until it started raining that he returned to his room.

In the evening, Tang Weiyi came out of the reflection room in the backyard. Steward He took him to see Mr. Gu Jin. The gentleman criticized him and agreed to let him go home.

Most of the academy's scholars are from Evian Town, and they go home at night and come back during the day. Only a few people from other places live in the academy.

Tang Weiyi is the young master of the landlord's family, and he is picked up by carriage every day.

On the same day, the carriage that picked up Tang Weiyi waited outside the door for a long time, but he did not come out. After inquiring about the reason, the carriage went back first.

Two hours later, the carriage came again.

Tang Weiyi was not convinced, and he had to respect the old gentleman on the surface. After listening to the teachings, he walked out of the South Courtyard with an angry face.

The rain was quite heavy, and he didn't bring an umbrella, so he didn't know whether to ask Steward He to borrow an umbrella for a while. I thought about it for a while, what to borrow, and just like that.

Tang Weiyi's heart was horizontal, he put his sleeves on his head, and ran towards the gate of the academy. Just ran a few steps, his feet slipped, and he fell to the ground.

Tang Weiyi was covered in mud and water, and scolded: "What Baiyu Academy, it's just a confused academy." ”

Su Yu watched all this through the window of his room, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and he scolded: "You deserve it." ”

Tang Weiyi got up and was about to rush out. At this time, a girl who looked like a maid walked in with an oilcloth umbrella.

When she saw Tang Weiyi on the ground, she hurriedly walked over and pulled him up by the arm. While propping the umbrella on Tang Weiyi's head, he asked with concern: "Second young master, are you okay?" ”

Tang Weiyi saw the little maid, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Oh, it's a snow goose, it's okay, it's okay, why are you here." ”

"It's raining, it's dark and the road is slippery, so the lord asked me to deliver an umbrella." The maid looked at Tang Weiyi affectionately.

Su Yu saw the maid's face through the dim light in the courtyard. His heart was shocked, who is this girl? Why is it so much like Leng Xueni.

He wanted to take another look, but Tang Weiyi had already taken the girl's hand and walked out.

Judging from that back, it seems to be Miss Xueni.

Su Yu hurriedly ran out.

When he arrived at the door, the Tang family's carriage had already walked out dozens of meters away.

Su Yu wanted to shout, but after opening his mouth a few times, he still didn't shout.

He thought that it would be great if that maid was really Leng Xueni. As long as Tang Weiyi comes tomorrow, you will know as soon as you ask.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that girl looked like Leng Xueni. He didn't even have to wait for tomorrow morning to verify the situation.

However, he also knew that it was impossible to chase down the Tang family to ask about the situation now. Yes, let's tell Tiehu the news first.

Thinking of this, Su Yu took out an umbrella from behind the gate and ran towards Wenchang Palace quickly.
