Huang Dou took the three of them to find an inn in Dongchengfang, which was considered to be settled, and then he went directly to Ling Jiuhao. Before leaving, he asked Li Mu and the others to stay here quietly.

However, Li Mu did not mean to be obedient. Dongchengfang is his home, and when he comes here, he can't contain the idea of going home to see it.

At the end of the day, he's just a sixteen-year-old. After being away from home for a long time, he was homesick.

After thinking about it, Li Mu finally made up his mind and went back to Li Ji Teahouse to have a look. So he said to Yi Fan and Shen Li: "You stay here, I'll go out and have a look." ”

When it came to these two words, Yi Fan was the first to be interested, "Look, where to look?"

Li Mu sighed and said, "Didn't you hear the first half of my sentence? ”

"We?" Shen Li pointed to himself. "Am I staying here?"

"Hmm. Li Mu nodded, "If we all leave, Huang Dou will definitely be suspicious." He will think that we have escaped, and that the trust on the road will be lost. We must leave someone to settle the hearts of Huangdou. ”

"Isn't it enough to keep Yi Fan?" Shen Li said.

"Huh?" Yi Fan pursed his lips, "You husband and wife are combined, and you want to leave me?"

Li Mu smiled: "Naturally not, so I also let Shen Li stay." Ling Jiuhao didn't know when he would come, Shen Li was a disciple of the Nine Hundred Sect after all. Li Mu said this to Yi Fan, but he also said it to Shen Li. "And the relationship between Shen Li and me, Huang Dou knows. It is best for her to stay naturally. ”

When Shen Li heard Li Mu say this, he no longer insisted. Li Mu explained a few more words, and then went out. He was still dressed as a slightly chubby man, walking on the familiar street, Li Mu's whole body relaxed. He walked through Dongchengfang, and soon, he came to Fruit Lane.

Uncle Fan, who was setting up a stall at the mouth of the alley, was standing in front of the stall and talking to him was Dongcheng Fangfangzheng - Uncle Yao Ling. These two people are Li Mu's acquaintances, but he won't recognize him now, of course, it's best not to let him recognize them. Fang Zheng was originally under the jurisdiction of the government, and I am afraid that he knew that he was wanted by the imperial court.

Li Mu controlled his expression and passed by them. Uncle Yao Ling glanced at Li Mu, but he didn't care.

Li Mu continued to walk inside, Uncle Ling from the rice shop, Xiao Lu craftsman who made jewelry, and Granny Hua who asked about things...... Li Mu saw more and more familiar people. Then, he saw the Li Kee Teahouse.

The signboard of the Lee Kee Teahouse is still hanging grandly outside, but the door of the Leeji Teahouse is closed.

Li Mu was stunned. Since childhood, except for his illness when he was a child, his father had to take care of himself, and the teahouse basically opened on time every day, rain or shine. And today, Li Kee Teahouse is closed?

Li Mu couldn't help but walk forward quickly, and the door of Li Ji Teahouse was closed. Li Mu touched the wooden door of the teahouse and found that it was covered with dust. Li Mu's doubts were even more prevalent, which showed that his teahouse should have been closed for a while.

"Dad, where did you go?" Li Mu couldn't help but ask such a question in his mind. "Why, the teahouse is not open?" Li Mu was about to reach out to push, but Uncle Yao Ling's voice came from the side. "There's no one in that teahouse, you can't get in. ”

As soon as Li Mu turned around, he found Uncle Yao Ling standing behind him. He was holding a baked cake in his hand, which seemed to be bought at Uncle Fan's stall just now.

Li Mu lowered his voice and asked, "This brother, do you know where the people from this family are?" I came from other places and took a fancy to this position. I want to discuss whether I can buy it. ”

Uncle Yao Ling looked at Li Mu, and Li Mu couldn't help but be a little worried that he would see through his disguise. After all, Uncle Yao Ling was already the Fang Zheng of Dongchengfang when he was a child. has been in this position for so many years, and has also caught a lot of thieves. With his eyes, Li Mu was still a little worried.

But fortunately, Shark Zhu has made Li Mu more robust, and after going through so many things, Li Mu's whole person has become a lot more mature. This means that Li Mu's own temperament has also changed.

A person in disguise, what changes is his appearance. But a person's temperament is the hardest to change. At least the tone in which Li Mu speaks now is not at all like the tone of a sixteen-year-old boy's speech.

Uncle Yao Ling looked at it for a long time and replied, "Is this so? The son of the owner of this house had something happen in the field, so the master closed the teahouse and went to find his son." The title deed of this teahouse has long been due, and if you want this land, I'm afraid it's a bit troublesome. ”

"Dang?" Li Mu was a little incredulous after hearing this. Could it be that his father closed the teahouse to find himself because he knew that he was wanted by the imperial court? Thinking of this, Li Mu couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.

Although Li Lie has not allowed Li Mu to practice martial arts since he was a child, he has very strict requirements for Li Mu. But in general, Li Lie's love for his father has never been lacking. His own teahouse is not very profitable, but Li Mu has not lacked food and clothing since he was a child.

Li Mu's temperament is actually very similar to his father. He who looks lukewarm on the outside is actually a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

"I see. Li Mu said nonchalantly, "I don't know which pawnshop it is?" Uncle Yao Ling said: "I only know that he went to be it half a year ago, and I don't know what to do." In short, the current period should not be yet here. ”

"That's a shame. Li Mu said, turned around and walked out of Fruit Alley. Uncle Yao Ling didn't stop Li Mu, he really regarded him as a foreign merchant who wanted to come to the teahouse.

Li Mu walked towards the mouth of the alley step by step, he was still thinking about it in his mind. This was his home, but it was because his father was here. Now my father has closed the teahouse for himself and left here. Is this still your home?

Li Mu's mood was a little low. He had been full of hope and wanted to come back and see. As a result, it turned out to be like this. Thinking of this, Li Mu couldn't help but feel a sense of homelessness in his heart.

At this time, Li Mu suddenly saw a familiar figure. It is the big name Zeng Runcheng, the small name Zeng Puppy Zeng. Li Mu saw him carrying a sack on his back and walking alone in the alley. Seeing him, Li Mu had an idea. He walked forward quickly and came to Zeng Xiaopu. "Little brother, seeing that you are struggling to carry your back, let me give you a hand. ”

Zeng Xiaopu saw that a fat man he didn't know appeared in front of him, he shook his head and refused: "Thank you, big brother, no, I can do this little thing." ”

"You can do this little thing, then why did you call me when you stole the food from your mother-in-law on the table?" Li Mu said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Zeng Xiaopu's eyes widened suddenly.

Granny Hua is an inquirer, and her family says that she has ghosts and fairies, which is very evil. Therefore, the adults did not let the children of Fruit Lane into Granny Hua's house. However, Li Mu and Zeng Xiaopu were naughty when they were children, and in order to win other people's gambling games, the two had the courage to enter Granny Hua's house, and they also stole a little food from the offering table in the house as evidence.

This incident allowed the two to win a lot of snacks and toys from other children. However, afterwards, Li Mu and Zeng Xiaopu were seriously ill and had a high fever. It can be regarded as a bitter endurance. This incident is something that the two of them remember deeply when they were children, and only the children in Fruit Lane know about it.

Zeng Xiaopu looked at Li Mu's face, and didn't know how this stranger knew what only his playmates knew when he was a child.

Li Mu pulled him over, resumed his voice and said, "It's me, follow me." Zeng Xiaopu felt that this voice was very familiar, and Li Mu said what happened when he was a child, so he kept up with Li Mu's footsteps.

Li Mu came to the corner of a small road on the edge of Guozi Lane, and he said to Zeng Xiaopu: "Puppy, it's me, I'm Li Mu." ”

"Li Mu?wood?" Zeng Xiaopu looked shocked.

"yes, it's me. Li Mu pointed to himself and said.

Zeng Xiaopu looked Li Mu up and down, and said, "Why have you become like this?

"It's all pretended. Li Mu said helplessly.

At this time, Zeng Xiaogou suddenly looked left and right cautiously, and he lowered his voice and said to Li Mu: "Mu, I heard that you have committed a major crime and become a wanted criminal." Aren't you in danger right now?"

Hearing him say this, Li Mu said helplessly: "Yes, but I was wronged." ”

"That's good, I know your character, you can't do anything that violates the law and discipline. Zeng Xiaopu said.

Hearing this, Li Muxin said: I don't dare to say anything about other violations of law and discipline, but when it comes to killing, I'm afraid I don't have any worries anymore. But of course he wouldn't say this kind of thing to Zeng Xiaopu. He then asked, "Do you know where my dad went, and when did he leave?"

Faced with Li Mu's question, Zeng Xiaogou replied: "Uncle Li gave up the teahouse in early May, and then he left. As for where to go, Jianzhou, or Shuzhou, it should be southwest anyway. ”

"Huh, Jianzhou, Shuzhou?" Li Mu was shocked. "Did my dad tell you?"

"No, no, you had just left at that time, and my family had less food that day, so I went to your house to borrow food. As a result, guess what I saw?" said Zeng Xiaopu, mysteriously.

Li Mu asked very cooperatively, "What?"

"A masked woman! She shouldn't be young, but she's not very big. She was talking to Uncle Li in the store. That one...... I was afraid of disturbing Uncle Li's good deeds, so I shrank outside the door. Zeng Xiaopu's eyebrows raised. "I couldn't hear it clearly at the door, but I still heard Southwest, revenge or something. ”

"Woman, Southwest, Revenge?" Li Mu's heart was shocked.

"Hey, wood, what's wrong with you?" called Zeng's puppy.

Li Mu's mind was in a mess now, and he muttered, "Isn't it for me?"

"That's the reason why Uncle Li and the neighbors said, but I don't know if it's true. Zeng Xiaopu said, "I always feel that there is something wrong with that woman and Uncle Li." ”
