Prologue Chapter 43: People's Hearts Are in Danger (6)
Fang Zhengkun smiled and said, "I mean, this matter needs to be followed secretly all the way, and only after they come to a secluded place can they start, so as not to be known." You don't know martial arts, and if I take you, I'm afraid they will find out, so I can only wronged you to wait here. If it is less than half a day, or more than a day or two, you will be able to get it. ”
Xu Pu nodded: "If the Dao Leader goes, I will wait for the Dao Leader to come back." ”
Fang Zhengkun nodded and said, "Okay." Now the rain is getting lighter, and when the rain stops, I wonder if they will set off. If they set out today, I will go with them, and if they set out tomorrow, I will go on the road tomorrow. After I leave, you wait in the room, and you must not go out alone, in case you meet the brocade guard. If an outsider knocks on the door, don't pay attention to it, and wait for the poor road to come back and deal with it. ”
Xu Pu nodded: "I wrote it down." ”
Fang Zhengkun opened the gourd on his waist again, poured out five pills, handed them to Xu Pu, and said, "I will leave five pills, eat one pill on an empty stomach every morning, and then use the method I taught you to move cross-kneeled." Remember, eat only one capsule a day, not too much. I'm leaving five pills just in case, not for you to eat all five. ”
Xu Pu nodded again.
At this time, I heard the guy say outside: "Guest officer, the villain has brought lunch." ”
Fang Zhengkun said loudly: "Send it in." Then he said to Xu Pu: "You must be hungry now, go eat." I've eaten outside. ”
Xu Pu agreed, returned to the table to help the guy set the meal, then picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate them.
Fang Zhengkun sat by the window, keeping an eye on the movement in the backyard.
Although the rain outside was light, it was still pouring and refusing to stop.
Fang Zhengkun said secretly: It seems that they will not be on the road today. Just thinking about it, I saw the dart master surnamed Wang walk into the backyard, and gave a few words to several executioners under the eaves, and those executioners agreed again and again, and then went out of the eaves of the corridor and began to prepare the carriages and horses, and it seemed that they were going to set off in the rain.
In this way, it must be that adult who must be very anxious. In this way, it is more convenient to start in rainy weather and there are few pedestrians on the road.
These runners, who dart on the road three hundred days a year, were already so skilled that they were ready in no time. One person went to report, and the rest drove the carriage and horses out of the backyard of the inn.
Fang Zhengkun took the sword, whisked the dust, and said to Xu Pu: "I'm leaving." Remember what I tell you. Seeing Xu Pu nodding, he walked out of the room quickly.
Xu Pu sat in the guest room, doing nothing, very bored in his heart. On weekdays, when he has nothing to do, he uses reading, writing and the like as a pastime, but in this guest room, there are no books, and there is no pen and ink.
At this time, the guy in the store passed by the door, and Xu Pu stopped him: "Man, do you have any books in this store to pass the time?"
The guy smiled and said: "Little boy, we are all rough people, we don't know a single big word, and naturally no one buys books to read." ”
Xu Pu had already expected this to be the case, so he nodded and didn't say anything.
The guy suddenly said: "If the son wants pen and ink and the like, the villain can help prepare." ”
Xu Pu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Then please prepare a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone and send it to my room." ”
"Childe, wait a minute, I'll go and prepare. The guy said, went away, and after a while, sent the pen, ink, paper and inkstone into Xu Pu's door.
Xu Pujiu read poetry books, copied a lot of calligraphy, although there was no calligraphy at this time, but there was an impression in his mind, so he picked up the pen, spread out the paper, according to the memory of the calligraphy, concentrate on practicing the words.
I was practicing when I heard someone knocking on the door outside. Xu Pu remembered Fang Zhengkun's instructions, suddenly became nervous, and asked, "Who?"
I only heard the shopkeeper say outside: "Little boy, it's a villain." ”
Xu Pu went over and opened the door and said, "Big brother, what's the matter?"
The shopkeeper looked at Xu Pu carefully, and suddenly asked, "The little boy is surnamed Xu?"
Xu Pu was taken aback, looked at the shopkeeper's expression again, and saw that he didn't seem to have malicious intent, so he said truthfully: "Exactly, how do you know?"
The man said: "There are two people outside, ask the villain about one person, and the person they are talking about is very similar to the little boy in age, clothing, and appearance." The villain said that there seemed to be such a person. They asked the villain to ask if the son's surname was Xu. ”
Xu Pu was even more surprised and asked, "What do those two people look like?"
The man said, "One is in his early forties, dressed as a butler, and the other is an elderly monk." If they don't, the villain will go back to them, only saying that there is no one they are looking for in the store. ”
Xu Pu listened to his description, it seemed that it was the housekeeper Xu Fu and the monk Qiumu, but I was afraid that he was mistaken, and he met Jinyiwei, so he said to the man: "I'm not sure either." Where are they now?"
"Waiting in the lobby. ”
Xu Pu said: "Don't go back first." Take me over first, and if it's really someone I know, I'll see them again. ”
The guy said, "The little boy is thoughtful. Please come with me. After that, he led the way in front, and Xu Pu hurriedly followed behind.
The two came to the outside of the lobby, and the shopkeeper lifted the curtain at the entrance of the lobby and said to Xu Pu, "Childe, please see." ”
Xu Pu leaned over and looked at the lobby, and saw two people standing next to the counter in the lobby, one was dressed as a housekeeper, it was the housekeeper Xu Fu, and the other was an elderly monk, it was Qiu Mu, each of them holding an oil-paper umbrella, and their shoes and trouser legs were splashed with muddy water, presumably in the rain.
Xu Pu was overjoyed and shouted, "Uncle Fu, Master Qiumu!" shouted and rushed out of it.
Xu Pu and Qiu Mu heard the shout, followed the voice, and saw a little boy in brocade running out of it, it was the young master of the Xu family who had been looking for many days. The two were also overjoyed and hurried up to greet them.
Xu Pu rushed to the front, hugged Xu Fu, raised his head and said, "Uncle Fu, why did you come here?
Xu Fujiu was in the palace, he watched Xu Pu grow up from childhood to adulthood, the two had a deep relationship, and when he saw Xu Pu at this time, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and kept nodding and said, "Okay, good, Mrs., he's fine." ”
Master Akiki kept chanting the Buddha on the side: "Amitabha! Amitabha! These days have been running day and night, and it has not been in vain." ”
Xu Pu pulled Xu Fu and said, "Uncle Fu, let's go back to the guest room to talk." After that, he said to the guy: "Big brother, please send some refreshments." ”
The guy said, "The villain is going to prepare." ”
Xu Pu took Xu Fu back to the guest room, and after sitting down, he couldn't wait to ask, "Where is my mother? Is she okay? Sister Qingju is okay?"
