But when Zhao Ya stopped and lifted the hat to look at her, the woman retreated in disappointment.

Because no matter whether it is appearance or temperament, Zhao Ya cannot be her patron.

At this moment, Zhao Ya suddenly said, "Where is it?" ”

Hearing this, the woman was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "It's in this room next to it." ”

"Take me there."

"Yes!"

Next to this filthy and muddy street stood many crooked and dilapidated houses that seemed to collapse at any moment.

And the woman's room was the most dilapidated of them all.

Zhao Ya even suspected that if he used a little force when closing the door, this shack-like room would fall apart.

The woman didn't think about it so much, and she was very happy at this time.

Because this is the only guest she has brought in in two days, which means that she has not eaten in two days.

And with age, this situation has become more and more common.

The woman pushed open the door, and Zhao Ya then walked in.

It was dark and smelled stale.

But what surprised Zhao Ya the most was that there was actually a person in the house, a boy about eight or nine years old.

When he saw Zhao Ya come in, the boy looked at him with a strange gaze.

There was hatred and vigilance in it, but there was also a hint of longing.

The woman hurriedly pushed the boy out.

"Bao, hurry up and go out, and my mother will buy you noodles to eat later."

The boy stood up and staggered out, apparently too hungry to walk.

Zhao Ya sighed secretly in his heart and said, "No need, let him stay." ”

Hearing this, a thick look of vigilance immediately appeared on the woman's face, and she blocked the boy behind her.

She heard that there are many rich people with special tastes, who don't like women but like children, but she didn't expect this good-looking teenager to be the same.

"This uncle, please go out, I won't do your business anymore." The woman's voice trembled.

Zhao Ya saw the woman's thoughts, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"Don't worry, I don't mean anything, I just want you to do something for me."

As he spoke, Zhao Ya took out a piece of broken silver and put it on the table.

The woman's eyes were a little straight.

After living here for so many years, she had only seen silver a few times when she was young, and then as the price gradually fell as people got older, she never saw it again.

And this piece of silver looks like it is at least four or five taels.

Even her first time wasn't worth the price.

The woman's breathing was a little heavy, "What do you want me to do for you?" As long as it doesn't hurt my son, I'm willing to do the rest. ”

"Don't get me wrong, I just want you to find someone for me."

"Looking for someone?"

"That's right."

Then Zhao Ya said the guess in his heart.

"This man was about forty or fifty years old, ugly in appearance, did not talk much, and his most obvious feature was that he was lame on his right foot, and he was left-handed."

The woman looked confused.

She thought that the person she was looking for had a specific name and surname, but she didn't expect Zhao Ya to say so many vague guesses.

"I ...... I've never seen anyone like this. The woman asked, hesitantly.

"I know you haven't seen it, but you can pay more attention to these characteristics on weekdays, and ask about your friends at the same time, and if you can find clues, I will give you another great reward."

The reason why Zhao Ya chose this woman was mainly because she was the oldest and had the most average appearance.

No one will pay attention to such a wandering warbler, and it is perfect for finding out the news and observing pedestrians.

But the woman is still a little unsure.

For her, who doesn't know a single word, this is a little too complicated.

Seeing this, Zhao Ya showed a look of disappointment in his eyes, and was about to turn around and leave.

At this moment, the boy who had been hiding behind her suddenly poked his head out and said, "Is it that as long as you see such a person and tell you, you will give money?" ”

Zhao Ya stopped and looked at the boy with a serious face in a little surprise.

"Yes!"

"Okay, I can help you find out, where do you live?"

"Can you help me find out?" Zhao Ya became interested.

"Of course, all the kids around my age in the neighborhood are my little brothers, and they all listen to me." The boy said proudly.

"What's your name?" Zhao Ya asked.

The boy shook his head with a look of gloom on his face and said, "I don't have a name, because I don't know who my father is, and people call me Big-Eyed Lamp." ”

In fact, not only did he not know, but even this woman did not know who his father was.

And Zhao Ya couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the boy's big eyes.

It would be great if it was as the boy said, after all, no one cares about a bunch of children.

"Okay, little brother, then I'll leave this matter to you, as long as you can find clues, you can come to Ping'anfang to find me immediately, my name is Zhao Ya."

Zhao Ya told the boy his address in Ping'anfang.

The boy wrote it down very carefully, repeated it again, and after making sure that it was correct, Zhao Ya turned around and left.

After he left, the woman looked at the piece of silver on the table in confusion and asked in disbelief.

"Bao, I'm not dreaming."

The big-eyed lamp picked up the silver and took a hard bite.

"No, mother, the silver is real."

Then he cut off a small piece of silver with scissors and gave it to the woman, telling her to buy something to eat, especially some more baked cakes.

After buying it back, the mother and son had a hearty meal, and then the big eye lamp packed the rest of the baked cakes and went out to find his friends.

Tempted by the baked cakes, these children, who were eleven or twelve, and five or six years old, began to look around for the left-handed old man with a crippled right leg, forty or fifty years old, and a withdrawn temperament.

Zhao Ya was not idle, he almost went through the slums of the entire county town, but the result was still nothing.

Zhao Ya had expected this, so he didn't feel much disappointed.

If you can find the jade butterfly on the street, then it is too easy to earn more than 1,000 taels of gold.

Now Zhao Ya only hopes that the net he cast before can be reaped as soon as possible.

"Lao Lu, why did you come back so early today?" Someone laughed.

Lu Jicheng responded with a smile: "Isn't it raining today, the steward of the martial arts hall felt sorry for my inconvenient legs and feet, so he asked me to come back early." ”

"Tut, if you don't talk about Lao Lu, you will be blessed, you can actually be a porter in a big martial arts hall like Chenfeng, not to mention the salary every month, and the treatment is so good, I really envy the dead." The man said with envy.

Lu Jicheng smiled very honestly, "This is also because the housekeeper sees me as a disability, so he is very kind and rewards me with this mouthful of food, not to mention, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, I have to go home quickly." ”

After chatting with the neighbors, Lu Jicheng limped home.

Passing a liquor shop on the way, he went in and bought a pot of the cheapest wine and two side dishes to accompany it.

When it came out, the rain was getting heavier.

The thick rain curtain seemed to cover the whole world, and the noisy and lively Qinglou in the distance was gone, leaving only the sound of fine rain between heaven and earth.

Lu Jicheng was dressed in a cloak and limped down the muddy streets.

If anyone pays attention at this time, they will find that the dirt road, which is very difficult for even a person with normal legs and feet, is like flat ground under the feet of this lame man.

It's just that when the rain is pouring down, people are in a hurry to get home, and who will pay attention to a lame person.

Lu Jicheng hid the bottle of wine and appetizers under his coat, and thought in his heart that he would take two sips to warm up his body after he went home.

But at this moment, a thin figure rushed towards him obliquely and crashed into him.

Caught off guard, Lu Jicheng didn't have time to dodge, although he was not knocked down, but the wine and food under the coat fell to the ground by mistake.

At this time, Lu Jicheng saw clearly that it was a seven or eight-year-old boy who hit him.

Although it was late autumn, the boy was barefoot, his clothes were tattered, and there were two big snots hanging under his nose.

Lu Jicheng was shocked, and even though he was furious, he raised his left hand and slapped the boy.

"Damn, it's raining so hard and you're still running around, don't you have eyes?"

This slap was so hard that the boy was slammed and fell to the ground, and blood flowed from his mouth and nose.

But even so, the boy didn't cry, but viciously spat Lu Jicheng.

"Old immortal!"

Then he turned around and ran away.

Lu Jicheng didn't chase him, although if he wanted to chase him, the boy would definitely not be able to run away, but he didn't want to expose his secret in public.

So he just cursed a few words, and then bent down to pick up the food and wine on the ground.

The wine was fine because it was tightly sealed, but the two appetizers were soaked in muddy water and couldn't be served.

Lu Jicheng didn't bother to go back to buy it, so he walked away slowly.

But he didn't know that when he went home, the boy who had hit him just now had already run to an abandoned land temple and told Big Eye Lantern what had happened.

After listening to this, the big-eyed lamp asked, "Can you see clearly?" ”

"I can see clearly, my right foot is lame, I am forty or fifty years old, and I am still left-handed." The boy pointed to the right side of his face, which still had a slap print.

"Not only that, but I also know this old immortal, his name is Lu Jicheng, he lives in Tongyifang near my house, and I heard that he works in the Chenfeng Martial Arts Pavilion."

"Okay, well done." The big eye lamp gave the boy three meat pancakes.

The boy devoured it, and said vaguely as he ate: "Boss, if you really clean up that old immortal later, remember to tell me, I have to take back this slap." ”

As he chewed, the corners of the boy's mouth were still bleeding.

"No problem, but the wound on your face is okay, right?"

"Little meaning, this little injury is not a problem at all, if someone gives me meat and baked cakes to eat every day, I am willing to let people beat me like this every day." The boy said nonchalantly.

The big eye lamp nodded, and let the boy stay here, while he ran into the rain and rushed to Ping'an Fang to report the news.

When he arrived at Ping'an Fang, following the address given to him by Zhao Ya, the big eye lamp quickly found Zhao Ya's home.

After knocking on the door, I saw that the person who opened the door was actually a very beautiful woman, and the big-eyed lamp, which had always been bold, instantly became very restrained.

"Who are you looking for?" Drunken said strangely.

"I ...... I'm looking for Zhao Ya. Bigeye Lamp tried to keep his composure, but the trembling voice betrayed him.

Hearing this, Zui'er couldn't help but understand, and said with a smile: "You are Brother Big Eye, come in, Brother Xiaoya is not at home now, but he should be back soon!" ”

As he spoke, he let the big-eyed lamp in.

But the big-eyed lamp said that he would not enter the house, and was only willing to wait in the doorway.

At this moment, Zhao Ya also came back from outside.

He still went outside to find out the news today, but he still found nothing.

But when he got home and saw the big-eyed lamp waiting in the doorway, Zhao Ya couldn't help but feel refreshed.

"Got news?"

The big eye lamp nodded vigorously, "Hmm! ”

But then he didn't speak, just looked at Zhao Ya with his eyes.

Zhao Ya smiled and stretched out his hand to take out a silver ticket.

"This is a hundred taels of silver tickets issued by Shengyuan Bank, which can be exchanged at the counter at any time."

Where had he seen a silver ticket in the big eye lamp, but he still took it and examined it carefully, and then put it in his arms very carefully.

"His name is Lu Jicheng, he lives in Tongyifang, and he works in the Chenfeng Martial Arts Pavilion."

Do things in the Chenfeng Martial Arts Hall!

Zhao Ya was very keen to capture the key information, and then he was a little surprised.

No wonder I couldn't find him before.

It turned out that he had this identity as a cover.

You must know that Chenfeng is a great martial arts hall on the same level as Dingtai, and its owner Yuan Chenfeng is also a strong person who has stepped into the Five Realms in half a step.

Such an existence should naturally not be underestimated, even the government has to be careful.

But these thoughts only flashed in a flash, and then Zhao Ya asked in a deep voice, "Do you know the specific location?" ”

The big eye lamp nodded vigorously, "Yes." ”

"Okay, take me there now."

"Let's go!"

Although the big eye lamp thinks that he is running fast, it is still too bad compared to Zhao Ya.

Zhao Ya simply clamped him under his armpit, used his light skills to run in the rain, and soon rushed to Tongyifang.

This Tongyi Fang is close to the Yudai River, and at this time, with the heavy rain, the water of the Yudai River has skyrocketed, and some of the nearby shacks have been flooded.

However, the place where Lu Jicheng lives is located in a very high position, so it has not been affected.

Listening to the sound of the rain outside and the faint sound of crying, Lu Jicheng felt that the wine in the glass seemed to become more delicious.

Although there is no wine and food, he can only use a piece of old cucumber to drink, but Lu Jicheng doesn't care.

He has never been particular about eating and drinking, and the only thing he picks about is women.

Thinking of the woman, he couldn't help but think of the Aunt Xue who died under him two days ago, and a cloud of heat couldn't help but rise in his lower abdomen.

It seems that it is time to find a suitable target to vent again.

This time, I have to find a younger one, preferably a big girl who has not been out of the cabinet, see the red, and go to the bad luck for yourself.

Thundered!

The sound of rolling thunder rang out in the sky.

Lu Jicheng suddenly felt a little uneasy.

What's going on?

As soon as this thought rose in his heart, the door of the room, which had been closed, suddenly opened, and then a sword light like a sword came straight towards him.
