Shangsanjiu Street is a street from north to south, and it intersects with a river after the Furong Building, the river is not wide, and on both sides are rows of willow trees that are hanging with young leaves, and many boats and boats shuttle back and forth on it. Xie Jiang's door from the Furong Building was by this river. The river was very lively, under the willow trees there were resting people, loitering people, and sellers, people came and went, and a road led along the curved river to the willow trees in the distance.

When Xie Jiang went out, he was alerted to someone paying attention to him, and after looking for it, he found that a man in Tsing Yi who was fishing across the road was a little familiar. When I got closer, I remembered that it was the morning of the second day of the tea shop incident, when Xie Jiang was still meditating with the master on the mountain, this person had come to the mountain. The man in Tsing Yi probably didn't expect Xie Jiang to come over, pretending to be serious about fishing, Xie Jiang walked over to say hello, and he just responded casually.

Xie Jiang saw that he didn't care about himself, so he found a willow tree and sat on the ground next to him and waited for You Xiyun. The weather was a little hot, and You Xiyun still didn't come out for a long time, so Xie Jiang paid attention to his surroundings. Compared with the fishing village at the foot of the foothills, the whole road is paved with hemp stone, the houses next to the road are also green tiles and red walls, and in front of each door is a pair of stone lions guarding the door, it seems that the people here are either rich or expensive. There are not many people fishing under the willow trees, most of them are sitting, and only the people in Tsing Yi stand there alone and hang the pole. There are also beggars in twos and threes, a few who sell calligraphy and paintings and look at faces, and they don't care about Xie Jiang joining.

There were some boats docked along the river, some of them were selling fish, Xie Jiang looked at them kindly, and a few painting boats made Xie Jiang pay more attention, he had never seen such a painting boat before. On the other side of the river there seemed to be a quarrel on a painting boat, and in the bow stood a woman, the other who appeared to be a slave, kneeling on the deck. Xie Jiang could also hear the cursing across the river, and the woman who was standing slapped the slave and maid, and some people on the riverbank were watching the excitement. Xie Jiang has seen a lot of this kind of thing during the festival, these masters and servants come to Lushan Temple to worship the Buddha, and the slaves and maids do wrong things and get a lesson, and generally no one will interfere. Xie Jiang paid careful attention to it, the woman who beat people should be forty or fifty years old, and her face didn't look very fierce, and the slave and maid who was beaten lowered her head and were cursed, because she should have admitted her mistake. The whole boat looks neat, with curtains and a few pots of orchids on the boat.

"Xiao Jiang!"

But I saw You Xiyun hurriedly walking out of the Furong Building, and I had never seen him with such a solemn face.

"Second brother, what's wrong?"

"You go back first, I still have some things to go to the south of the city. ”

"What's the urgency, is there anything I can help with?"

"My sword was lost, it should have been stolen, do you remember someone touched my sword?"

"Wouldn't it?" Xie Jiang looked at the package in You Xiyun's hand, "I didn't pay much attention to it, I shouldn't have followed up to enter the Furong Building during this time, right?

"I think so, by the way, do you remember the guy sitting at the table next to us in the Hibiscus Building?"

"By the way, I remember that he seemed to have brought a sword-wrapped package like you. ”

"I think it's him, too, do you remember what he looks like?"

"Anyway, if we see him again, I think I'll be able to get to know him. ”

"Okay, then you come with me, let's go meet this master thief for a while," You Xiyun said fiercely.

"Do you know who it is?"

"Miss Furong said, there are only two people in this Tanzhou City who are willing and able to take away my sword from my hand without leaving a trace, one is 'Su Yuanyuan when he comes to shoot', and the other is 'Swallow Wu Wen Xiaoshan', this Su Yuanyuan will not do it in Furong Building, then there is only this 'Yan Zi Wu Wen Xiaoshan'. ”

"Do you already know where this Wen Xiaoshan is?"

"'South Building', Miss Fleur just told me about the place. ”

"I seem to remember that Lu He said 'South Building', it seems to be the southeast location of Tanzhou City, so should we wait for Lu He?"

"Let's go straight to the South Building, we don't have to wait for him. ”

Neither of them knew where the South Building was, so they walked for a while and asked for a while, but fortunately the South Building was very good to ask, Tanzhou City was really big for them, and it was already late afternoon when they arrived.

The south building is the location of the rudder of the beggar gang Tanzhou, and the site of painting. Xie Jiang, the helmsman of the beggar gang, knew it, but when he arrived at this place, he was still very surprised, how could this be the rudder of the first gang in the rivers and lakes, this is impossible. The south building is a dilapidated house, and there are not many families around, although you can see three or two beggars along the way, but there is no one on the south floor. No, there is still a person, but because he is lying under the tree, he will not notice this person by accident, but when he wants you to pay attention, you will definitely look at him.

The front yard of the South Building is fenced off without a fence, and you can see the lobby with a plaque hanging on the South Building at a glance. If you want to go in, you still have to go through the front door, which has no door, only a door frame. There was no one in front of the door, You Xiyun and Xie Jiang walked directly inside, and when they reached the door, they couldn't walk, and a pressure made them have to stop.

Xie Jiang also felt it, it was the person under the tree next to him, that person seemed to move, and Xie Jiang didn't confirm it. You Xiyun walked over, "Senior, excuse me!"

This person didn't move, as if he was too lazy to move, but you can understand what he meant, and that's how Xie Jiang feels. When I got closer, I looked like a beggar, who was middle-aged, and his hair and beard seemed to have just been cut, because they were cut very neatly, and he cut them with a knife. Although there is also a bowl in front, the bowl is covered, which is different from the beggars in front of Linjiang Tower and Furong Tower. Just when Xie Jiang looked at him, he found that this person's eyes rolled and immediately closed again.

"Junior, You Xiyun, may I ask the senior's surname?"

Didn't speak.

"The juniors have something they want to ask their seniors for, and ask the seniors to make it clear?" You Xiyun asked again.

Didn't speak either.

"May I ask the seniors, do you know if there is a person from Wen Xiaoshan in this south building?"

Still didn't speak.

"May I ask senior, can we go into the south building to find this person?" You Xiyun expected some changes.

"Hehehe, it's useless for you to ask him, he was a sleeping worm in his previous life, so he didn't bother to take care of you," the voice came from the tree. Then a person jumped down from the tree, this person looked more refreshing, at least his clothes were much cleaner than the person lying on the ground, this was Xie Jiang's feeling.

"Needless to say, I know, You Xiyun is right, Xiaoshan will come back at noon, it seems that he has been waiting for you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to arrive now. He told me that if someone surnamed You came to him, he would tell him that he would be waiting for him in Baishajing in the south of the city today. If you rush over now, he should still be there. ”

"Thank you seniors for reminding me, dare to ask seniors for their names?"

"My surname is Zhang, and his surname is Lu. ”

"Senior Zhang, can you tell me how to go to Baishajing?"

"Hey, won't Baishajing go?" The senior looked at You Xiyun, "Go straight south along the road in front of the door for two miles, go over the city wall, and then go south, passing through two small rivers, there is a mountain called Xishan, and there is a well halfway up the mountain, and many passers-by will pass through there to get water." You'll know when you go, a straight road. But it's not time now, and I don't know if Xiaoshan is still there. ”

"Thank you Senior Zhang, Xie Jiang, you can go back first, I'll go alone faster. But seeing You Xiyun's arrow step, the figure had already gone far away.
