The fire had long since been extinguished, and the family was still digging in the ashes in frustration.

Wu Lun whispered to Liu Jizu: "You just quietly throw the money over, we have to go back quickly, and it will be dawn in a while." ”

Liu Jizu glanced at it and threw the small bag of gold towards the position where no one was. With a bang, the family looked towards the place where the gold had landed, and the master and apprentice took the opportunity to hide in the darkness and return to their rooms the way they came.

Shortly after the two returned, a young man knocked on the door and brought a basin of hot water. It seems that the service of this shop is really good, and the two of them washed up again, cleaned up and came downstairs.

Wu Lun asked the man to cook two large bowls of noodles, and added two taels of cold slices of mutton to each bowl. This noodle tastes good, the noodles are strong, the soup is rich, and the white radish slices are boiled in it, and coriander and garlic sprouts are sprinkled on top.

Liu Jizu wanted to ask for another bowl, but he was embarrassed.

At this moment, the bloodshot shopkeeper came back happily.

Wu Lun asked, "So early, what is the happy event of the shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper was worried that no one was in the audience, and when he saw Wu Lun, he was excited and talked endlessly.

It turned out that not long after Wu Lun and the others left, several innkeepers found that their belongings had been stolen, and the guests who had lost their things made a fuss. At this time, someone brought the post man again, because in addition to being in charge of the post station, he was also responsible for the local security, which was very prestigious. Yi Cheng brought in the relevant people and others to ask carefully, and this question found clues, and someone saw some people running outside the town with their burdens not long ago.

The post man was very experienced, and immediately organized the post man to chase after the person who lost something. As a result, about five miles outside the town, a carriage and six people who had fainted were found. The post officer ordered someone to inspect it, and found that the car was loaded with stolen property, and everyone was overjoyed. Hurriedly tied up the fainted people and woke them up, and the truth was revealed during the interrogation. Everyone divided the things, escorted the people back, and tossed until now.

At this moment, there were suddenly a few exclamations outside, and the shopkeeper liked to join in the fun, and rushed out to find out without waiting for the words to finish, and after a while, he came back with a fluttering eyebrow.

This time, without waiting for Wu Lun to ask, the shopkeeper took the initiative to come over and said: "It's really a miracle for the ages, the shopkeeper opposite has opened a restaurant for generations, and this time the loss of fire is great." Unexpectedly, his daughter-in-law took out a small ingot of gold left from their ancestors in a pile of ashes, which was ten taels. With some of their savings, they can build a house and reopen it, which is really God's eyes!"

Liu Jizu thought that this shopkeeper still had a lot of eyes, and in order not to cause trouble, he lied to people that it was the gold left by his ancestors.

Wu Lun also knew it, didn't say anything, looked at Liu Jizu and smiled, and let the shopkeeper settle the bill.

The shopkeeper calculated a total of three hundred and twenty yuan, Liu Jizu thought to himself, this is really expensive to go out! But this is according to Wu Lun's consumption habits, he has always been willing to spend money. If it were himself, he would just sleep in the shop and eat dry food, and he wouldn't be able to spend so much money, and now he understands this river and lake revolving around money more and more deeply.

Wu Lun took out the money bag from his pocket, found a small piece of silver from it and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper weighed it and said that it was a little more than three dollars, and it was still ten cents short.

"It's all regular customers, it's almost done!"

The shopkeeper's face looked embarrassed, and he finally slapped his thigh, "Forget it, forget it, who will let the happy events continue! Even if you are given a discount, you can live in our house next time." ”

Wu Lun nodded, put on his burden, said goodbye to the shopkeeper with a smile, and left the inn.

The two went out and continued to walk towards the county seat, and it was still dark outside. The two of them walked out of the town quickly, and then performed a pinching step, and in a short time they were out of the mountains. When they saw pedestrians in the distance, they slowed down and continued on their way.

Liu Jizu took the opportunity to ask, "Uncle, how did you know that there was a thief last night?"

"I'm not an immortal, how can I know! I'm just acting carefully, when I go out, I must not ignore my head, and I must be thoughtful. If both of us go to put out the fire on impulse, then our things must have been stolen. Soon after you left, someone came and pushed the door, saw me inside, and pretended to be in the wrong room. When I saw that the man was dressed in dark clothes, with twinkling eyes and walking silently, I knew that the thief was coming. ”

Liu Jizu couldn't help nodding and admired Wu Lun.

The two of them came to Dingxiang County at about 11 o'clock in the morning.

This is Liu Jizu's second time here, the first time is to test Xiucai, and the time between the two is not long, and Liu Jizu still has an impression. Dingxiang County is a very typical county town in the northern Central Plains, built squarely, very regular. Due to its location in the north, the border troubles are frequent, and the scale of the county town is not large, but there are many moats, city walls, arrow towers, city towers, and urn cities, and everything is decent.

Wu Lun was very familiar with this place, and he took Liu Jizu straight to a remote pawnshop.

There were no customers in the pawnshop, and when the guy saw Wu Lun, he didn't speak, he looked outside the door first, and when he saw that there was no one, he hurriedly got down from the high counter and opened the door under the counter.

Wu Lun didn't speak, the cat waist got under the counter, and Liu Jizu also followed.

There was also a door at the counter, and when the guy opened it, he went to look at the shop again.

Wu Lun took Liu Jizu into the door and asked him to wait at the door.

Liu Jizu saw that there was a delicate small courtyard behind him, which was planted with all kinds of flowers and plants, which was very beautiful. Wu Lun walked to a bell hanging on the wall next to the door, shook it three times, and then waited there with Liu Jizu.

After a while, a fat young man who looked like a ball rolled out of the house across the courtyard. As soon as he saw that it was Wu Lun, he hurriedly trotted all the way over, and such a short distance made him so tired that he was out of breath. He took out an embroidered handkerchief from his arms, wiped his sweat and saluted Wu Lun, and said in a deep and magnetic voice that was not in harmony with this body: "Uncle Shi, I haven't seen you for a long time, what do you command......?"

Wu Lun pointed at Liu Jizu and said, "This is my eldest apprentice, Li Chuanzong." Chuanzong, this is the dark stake Qiu Er of the Giant Sword Gate here, you just call Second Brother Qiu. The relationship between the Giant Sword Gate and us is extraordinary, and it also serves us. ”

Liu Jizu didn't know if this was his real name or a pseudonym, so he hurriedly saluted.

Qiu Er also hurriedly returned the salute, then carefully looked at Liu Jizu for a while, and said with a smile: "Uncle Shi, your apprentice is a talent, and his bearing is extraordinary!

Wu Lun smiled and didn't speak, but Liu Jizu was secretly shocked. If this person is just polite, if he can really see the way, it will make people afraid! On what basis does he see it? What is wrong with what he is doing?

Liu Jizu glanced at his master, and Wu Lun said with a smile: "Qiu Er didn't practice martial arts because of physical reasons, but his judgment is extraordinary, and this ability is amazing." He can not only judge the quality of things, but also judge the level of a person's skills. ”

Liu Jizu was very surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Second brother, I don't know how you saw it?"

Qiu Er snorted and said with a smile: "I'm too fat to practice martial arts, but I like to study and watch everything very seriously." I won't talk about things, it's nothing more than seeing too much, touching too much, and the feeling will come out. People are a bit more complicated, but as long as you observe carefully, you can also see the clues. For example, the gait of your walking, the sound of your feet hitting the ground, the depth of your footprints, the subtle movements of your body, the rhythm and length of your breathing, and so on. If you want me to elaborate, I can't say it clearly, it's just a feeling. ”

Liu Jizu was even more impressed when he heard this, it seems that everyone has their own unique ability, and they must not judge people by their appearance!

Wu Lun said at this time: "We need a house this time. Outside the city, there are wells, and for a month, two people live, and they must be safe, confidential, undisturbed, and not fired. You arrange for someone you trust to bring them food, and you will need it in about five to ten days, and you see how much it will cost. ”

Qiu Er raised a hand, his fingers moving, his eyes pointing upward, and his mouth muttering. After a while, Qiu Er calculated, "It will take about thirty taels of silver." ”

Wu Lun nodded, took a small piece of cut gold from the money bag in his arms, and handed it over, "Give you sixty taels, and then prepare a set of mule carts for us, the kind used by the Jianghu people, with closed carriages and curtains." Please make a secret cabinet in the carriage and hide two people. Find us two more knives and two sets of clothes, the most ordinary, the kind that can't be seen in history. I also want a pass to Gyeonggi Province, which is empty. ”

Qiu Er checked the gold, and then put it into his arms, "The money is a little less, but we are our own people, and you have taken care of my business, Uncle Shi, don't worry, I will definitely do it for you." Clothes and knives can be prepared at night, you can pick up the lamp, and if you have a place to stay, we can send them to you. It will take a little longer to get through the car and pass through the station, and it is estimated that it will not be until tomorrow afternoon. The house is no problem, when the time comes, you come to me, I promise to arrange it for you. ”

Wu Lun nodded, "That's hard, let's have lunch tomorrow and get it together." ”

After saying that, he said goodbye to Qiu Er, who was busy looking for someone to prepare things, and did not leave them, and sent them out through the back door.

When the two came to the main street, it was almost noon, Wu Lun touched his stomach and took Liu Jizu straight to a two-story restaurant. The location of this restaurant is not very good, but when you look at the façade, you can know that it is an old store, and the plaques and dishes on it reveal a sense of vicissitudes. As soon as the two entered the door, the guy greeted them warmly. At this time, the first floor was full, and there was no good place for the window on the second floor, so they had to sit in a corner of the second floor. The guy brought tea and asked what he wanted.

Wu Lun didn't care where he was sitting, and said directly: "One each of the signature carp, steamed pork, noodles and yam, and a pot of soju!"

When the man heard this, he knew that this was an expert at ordering food, so he hurriedly repeated it in a loud voice, turned around and went downstairs.

Liu Jizu drank tea and asked, "Uncle, do you often come here?"

Wu Lun nodded, "This shop is an old shop, it has been passed down for several generations, and there is a set of cooking dishes, which is the best in Dingxiang County." ”
