Liu Zhutou said: "Miss Zhou, he lives here, after our people found him, they stayed here all the time, and I haven't seen him come out, this will definitely be in the house." ”

"The front door and the back door are also guarded, unless he digs a tunnel in the house, otherwise he can't leave."

In addition, he also deployed men outside the city gates, unless the merchant dug the tunnel ten miles long, otherwise his people would definitely be able to find the merchant's trace at the first time.

Yamen and Ma Dalang arranged it like this, and Zhou Mujiao didn't think it was an exaggeration at all.

Taohong and Monkey Jing are Jiangyang thieves and felons in the imperial court, Li had an accident back then, but the million taels of hanging red were effective, but they have been able to escape the pursuit of so many Jianghu organizations for 20 years, which shows that the two of them have great ability, but now they are both dead in the hands of that merchant, which shows that the merchant is not simple.

And what is more capable than Jiang Yang's thief, except for the bounty hunter, is a person in the public family, Zhou Mujiao has not seen anyone yet, so it is not good to judge what his identity is now.

Zhou Mujiao knocked three times on the wooden door, and then waited quietly outside the door.

After half a cup of tea, when Ma Dalang and Liu Zhutou both thought that the merchant had escaped, the wooden door creaked open, and a man about forty years old walked out: "Who are you?" ”

It's the seller!

Zhou Mujiao stepped forward: "I am the family of the child who was saved by you a few days ago, and I specially came to the door today to thank you, thank you for the strong man who took the righteous action to save my sister's life, the great grace of the strong man, the little woman and the Zhao family are unforgettable." ”

"You're Eighteen's sister?"

"Exactly."

The seller looked at it seriously, and after this look, his face immediately changed, and his eyes were very excited, but he soon put it away.

Although it was a short moment, Zhou Mujiao captured it, she wondered in her heart, if she was shocked because she was beautiful, it would not be surprising, her face was indeed outstanding, it was indeed amazing, but shock was shock, what was he excited about?

That look was as if he had seen some old man.

Old friend?

She and Xiao Wu's appearance is not very similar to the Zhou family, Aunt Feng and Aunt Zhao both said that they followed the appearance of their mother Bai, so their mother is the old man of this merchant?

As we all know, Bai's mother's family is very poor, in addition to his parents, he only has one brother and one sister-in-law, and now the brother has long passed away, leaving no son and a half daughter to her sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law has been widowed for two years, and then she can't stand the gossip and remarries elsewhere.

Bai has not returned to his parents' house since he married into the Zhou family at the age of seventeen, and no old friends have come to see her, if the merchant in front of him is Bai's old friend, then where did he go in the previous twenty years? What is the relationship between him and the Bai family?

Zhou Mujiao looked at the other party quietly, and the other party also let her look at it, but Liu Zhutou broke the strange atmosphere: "Dare to ask the strong man, the couple at the mouth of the alley a few days ago was your hand?" ”

"What couple?" The merchant spread his hands, "Official, do you think I look like someone who can win against the Jiangyang thief?" ”

"How do you know they're Jiangyang thieves?"

"In the past few days, people from the yamen have been coming in and out, and people with eyes and ears know about it!" Saying that, he looked at Zhou Mujiao, "Sister Eighteen, do you want to thank me?" ”

"Yes."

"Use these things?"

"No, it's just a gift for a visit, what do you want, just mention it, I will be satisfied if I can meet it. I don't know what to call a strong man? ”

"Jiang, Jiangwu fishing."

"Then I'll call you Uncle Jiang. I don't know what Uncle Jiang wants? ”

Jiang Wuyu smiled: "Eighteen, will you and her eldest brother be willing to give me all the money for her?" ”

"Yes."

Jiang Wuyu smiled again: "I was really right, the little girl is a blessed one." But I don't want money, I just ask the girl to give me a place to live in the next place, and a job with a stable income, and if I die on the street one day, I will ask the girl to collect the body for me, and dig a pit and bury it with a straw mat. ”

"Uncle Jiang, don't worry, if there is a day, I will definitely bury Uncle Jiang."

Jiang Wuyu laughed: "Then it's decided?" ”

Zhou Mujiao nodded at Ma Dalang, and Ma Dalang personally put the gift at the door, Zhou Mujiao said, "What does Uncle Jiang want to do?" ”

"In this life, go south to north, sell goods in the south and sell in the north, sell goods in the north and sell in the south, although you can barely satisfy your stomach, but it is a bumpy and displaced, and you feel miserable and helpless from time to time, so your wish is to find a place to spend the rest of your life in peace, as for what work, I don't care about it, if it can't be done in the next, I think the girl will not arrange it."

"I've made a note of it, and I'll let you know when I get back to the right one."

"When?"

"Ten days later."

"Then I'll wait for you!"

"Okay."

Jiang Wuyu watched Zhou Mujiao and his party leave, and did not retract his gaze until he couldn't see the shadow at all, he glanced at the several baskets placed at the door, smiled, and took them all to the house, he didn't go to turn over the gifts inside, as soon as the door closed, he walked into one of the rooms.

There is only one window in the room, with heavy curtains, and the air is not very circulating, Jiang Wuyu opened the door and went to pull the curtains as soon as possible.

On a late autumn afternoon, the sun was hot, and the light rushed into the room, filling the room in a short time.

The woman on the bed suddenly woke up in her dream: "Xiaoyu, is it Xiaoyu?" ”

"Mother, it's me."

There was a sound of soo on the bed, and in a few moments an old woman dressed plainly, but with a sad face and a pale face, stepped out into the sun.

Jiang Wuyu helped the person outside the hall, and the old woman sat down, and then saw the baskets next to her at a glance.

"A neighbor just came over?"

"Not a neighbor." Jiang Wuyu explained, "Do you remember the eighteen girls I mentioned to you two days ago? It was sent by her family, and they came to thank me. ”

The old woman remembers this, for twenty years, Jiang Wuyu has helped countless people, and the only one who can make him remember and mention it to her is this little girl named eighteen, this little girl's family has a heart, but ......

The old woman withdrew her gaze from the gift: "When are we leaving?" ”

"Mother, we're not leaving." Jiang Wuyu knelt in front of the old woman's knee, "You don't have to go in the future, mother, the outstanding people of Taohua County, let's stay here!" ”

The old woman was silent for a while, and then suddenly became excited, she grabbed Jiang Wuyu: "You found her?" Found her, didn't you? Where is she? Are you okay? Did you see her? What did she say? Have you ever blamed the Li family? ”

"I didn't see her, what I saw was her when she was young, it must be her child, I won't admit it." Jiang Wuyu suppressed his excitement, "Mother, I will investigate clearly, if it is her child, then, then we-"

"Don't bother her!" The old woman suddenly interrupted, "Since she was not dead at the time, and she still has children, but she does not want to go home, it means that she hates us!" Xiaoyu, although you have a marriage contract, you only met twice when you were a child, she can't recognize you, you sneak a look at her, come back and tell me if she is okay, as long as she is doing well, I, I can die and be blind! ”
