1. Mrs. Zhang secretly entrusted the secret matter of Mang Afei to leave Yunzhuang temporarily
Zhang Fangzhou died, Xu Yun ran away, and in just one day, Yunzhuang suffered such a huge change, and the future was uncertain, and the whole village was suddenly panicked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
After Ah Fei said goodbye to Xu Yun, he stood on the bluestone platform in amazement, looking at the bloodstains silently.
"Young Master Fei, Young Master Yun, he ...... Is he gone?" Lao Chang walked towards Ah Fei with a cane.
"Well, Brother Xu said that he was going to find the real murderer of Uncle Zhang. Ah Fei said, "Chang, I heard some people say that it was Brother Xu who killed Uncle Zhang, but I don't think it's right, the murderer will never be him." You also believe that the murderer is not Brother Xu, right?"
"Hehe, of course. I have known Young Master Yun for more than 20 years now, and with my understanding of Young Master Yun, it is impossible for him to do such a rebellious thing. Lao Chang took Ah Fei's hand and said, "Let's go, Young Master Fei, go back with me." If you stare at these unclean things here, you will only get sadter and sadter the more you look at them. β
"Hmm. Ah Fei pursed his mouth and obediently followed Lao Chang back to the village.
"Lao Chang, you said that you and Brother Xu have known each other for more than 20 years, so when you met him, he was not as old as me, right?"
"Well, yes, Young Master Yun was just an orphan wandering on the streets of the Daimyo's Mansion at that time, helpless, very pitiful!"
"Then how did you meet? I know, you must have seen him pitiful and helped him, right?"
"No, Young Master Fei, you just said the opposite, it was actually Young Master Yun who helped me, or rather, saved me. β
That Xu Yun is now in the age of his establishment, how old can he be more than 20 years ago, how could he save the famous thief in the Central Plains? Ah Fei's heart couldn't help but be full of questions: "You said that Brother Xu saved you?"
Lao Chang nodded: "Yes, I was seriously injured at that time and couldn't move, if it weren't for Young Master Yun giving me some food every day, I'm afraid I would have starved to death in the barren mountains and mountains outside the Daimyo's Mansion." Alas, it is really rare for a three- or four-year-old child to have such a chivalrous heart!"
"It turned out that I was bringing you food, I thought Brother Xu would help you fight!"
"Hahaha, Young Master Yun hadn't met the master at that time, and he didn't have an apprenticeship, where could he help me fight?"
"Even if he worships the teacher, I'm afraid it won't work, he's a little child, how can he beat an adult?"
Lao Chang leaned on crutches, struggled to cross the high threshold, and said to Ah Fei: "Young Master Fei, it seems that you don't know anything about Young Master Yun's past!"
"Brother Xu's past, I know, I heard Sister Xiaoyu talk about it before, saying that Brother Xu is very beautiful at the martial arts conference. Ah Fei raised his head and said.
Lao Chang nodded: "Well, at the Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference ten years ago, Young Master Yun was indeed very beautiful, but that can't be regarded as his past." Hehe, when Young Master Yun was as old as you, he once had a nickname in the rivers and lakes, called 'Little Impermanence'. β
"Little impermanence, what does that mean?"
"Hey, what's so hard to understand about this? Don't you know the impermanence ghost, it's the ghost who specializes in seducing people's souls. The meaning of this nickname is to say that Young Master Yun is a bit similar to the impermanence ghost. β
"Impermanence is so ugly, where is it like? Who came up with this name, it's just nonsense. "Ah Fei has seen clay sculptures of impermanence ghosts, either black or white, wearing a tall hat and sticking out a long tongue, how ugly and ugly it is. And Xu Yun always squints his eyes and talks to people in a gentle tone, how can he look like an impermanent ghost?
"Hey, Young Master Fei, of course, this nickname doesn't mean that Young Master Yun looks like impermanence, but that Young Master Yun's skills are too good and he can easily kill people, just like the impermanence that asks for his life. β
Ah Fei realized: "Oh, that's what it means, but this nickname is too ugly, and he even compares Brother Xu to an impermanent ghost, as if Brother Xu will kill people at every turn." β
"Young Master Yun at that time, this is indeed the case. β
"What?"
"Hehe, Young Master Fei, don't get me wrong. The people that Young Master Yun killed were all evil people. In the past, Young Master Yun has been following the master to punish traitors and eliminate evil in the rivers and lakes, and I don't know how many traitors died under his sword. To describe him as murderous is not too much. And his sword is fast and accurate, and he can often take people's lives with a single sword, which makes people shudder, so at that time, the people in the underworld were afraid of him, so they gave him the nickname of 'little impermanence'. Lao Chang explained, "However, Young Master Yun doesn't like this nickname, so he doesn't want people to mention it, plus he has been in the mountains for ten years, and the rivers and lakes have gradually forgotten the name 'Little Impermanence'." β
"Lao Chang, are you talking about Brother Xu?" Ah Fei felt that Lao Chang seemed to be talking about another person, not Xu Yun. Because, in Ah Fei's eyes, Xu Yun, in addition to practicing martial arts, spends every day in the wooden house drinking, carving wood, and teasing cats, which is very leisurely, not at all like the "little impermanence" that Lao Chang said.
"Surprised, right? That's why I said, you don't know about Young Master Yun's past. When he's your age, he's already a figure that will scare a lot of people. Alas, at that time, he was jealous and hateful, and he was a young man, but he was not a hermit like he is now!" Lao Chang sighed, "Perhaps, this time down the mountain, he can get back to his former appearance, maybe." β
Lao Chang shook his head, and said to Ah Fei: "Okay, Young Master Fei, there are still a bunch of things waiting for me to arrange in the Zhuangzi now, I'll leave first!"
Ah Fei felt that he should comfort Uncle Zhang and Sister Xiaoyu, but he didn't know what to say, so he had no choice but to return to the accommodation and lie on the bed, feeling numb.
He remembered that his grandfather Yu Wanting had confessed that when he practiced the thunder-breaking knife technique, he could only ask Zhang Zhuang and Xu Yun for advice if he didn't understand it. But now that the owner of Zhang Zhuang has passed away and Xu Yun has left the village, who should he ask for advice?
"Maybe, it's time for me to go home," Ah Fei thought to himself, "If Grandpa and sister-in-law knew that something so big had happened in Yunzhuang, they would definitely take me home." β
A few days after Zhang Fangzhou's funeral, a letter sent from Yujiazhuang was sent to Mrs. Zhang in Yunzhuang.
"Young Master of the Yu family, this letter is sent from Yujiazhuang. The letter said that in a few days, your family will send someone to take you back to Hangzhou. That's why I have brought you here to tell you about it. Mrs. Zhang handed the letter to Ah Fei and said softly.
"Okay, Uncle Zhang, I know, thank you. Ah Fei looked at Mrs. Zhang's still red and swollen eyes, and felt very uncomfortable.
"Well, no thanks. Mrs. Zhang nodded lightly, "I heard Xiaoyu say that Yun'er had an agreement with you before going down the mountain, saying that she would go to Yujiazhuang to find you?"
"Yes, Uncle Zhang. Ah Fei responded. This matter was just told to Zhang Yuting yesterday, but he didn't expect Mrs. Zhang to know about it from Zhang Yuting today.
"That's good, Yun'er hurriedly went down the mountain to find the murderer, but he didn't say hello to me. I have a word for you to convey to him. β
"What does Uncle Zhang want to say to Brother Xu?"
Mrs. Zhang thought for a while, and then said to Ah Fei: "When you see Yun'er, you will tell him: 'The owner of Huayuezhuang did not die, but left home. ββ
Ah Fei repeated: "The owner of Huayue Village did not die, but left home...... Is that all?"
That's what I want to say to him. Just tell him that. When he heard this, he would naturally understand. Also, this sentence tells Yun'er that it is good to be alone, and there is no need to let others know. β
"Okay, I remember. Ah Fei nodded, "But, what if Brother Xu didn't come to Yujiazhuang to find me?"
"No, what Yun'er promised, she will definitely do it, you can rest assured. Mrs. Zhang said, "Tell me what I want you to say." β
"The owner of Huayuezhuang did not die, but left home. β
"That's right, that's it. Mrs. Zhang nodded, "You must tell Yun'er in person." β
"Good...... Aunt Zhang, if there is nothing else to do, I will leave first. β
"Well, go ahead. In the past few days, you have to pack your luggage in advance, don't wait for the person to pick you up and then pack up, and make a mess. β
"Ah, I know. β
Ah Fei returned to the house, took a cursory look, and found that except for a purple gold knife, a knife book, and some silver taels brought from home, there was nothing to pack, so he pushed the door out and walked towards the bluestone platform.
"Since Uncle Zhang's death, everyone in the Zhuangzi has been sad, and I am bored and panicked when I stay here, and it is good to go home to accompany my grandfather to hunt. Ah Fei was happy again when he thought that he would soon be able to fish in the river and hunt animals in the forest again.
On the bluestone platform, unsurprisingly, only Zhang Baiqiao was practicing swords.
When Zhang Baiqiao saw Ah Fei, he beckoned: "Ah Fei, you are here!"
"Brother Baiqiao, the entire Yunzhuang, now you are still practicing martial arts. Ah Fei walked down the stone steps and said to Zhang Baiqiao.
"Probably...... Everyone's in the mood. And when the master leaves, there will be chaos in the Zhuangzi for a while, and the second senior brother must be too busy to spank his heels, and he doesn't have time to gather everyone to the bluestone platform to practice together, so I am the only one practicing the sword. Zhang Baiqiao said, "You see such a big bluestone platform, it can't be so empty, right?" Master used to ask us to practice martial arts here every day, but now although his old man is gone, this rule can't be broken. β
Seeing Zhang Baiqiao say this, Ah Fei remembered that he was still thinking about going home to play, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart: "Brother Baiqiao, you practice martial arts so diligently, which really makes me admire." β
"What is there to admire? Don't you go to the senior brother every day, rain or shineβwell, come, let's make a comparison. Zhang Baiqiao remembered that Xu Yun had left Yunzhuang, so he diverted the conversation again.
"Nope. Ah Fei shook his head.
Zhang Baiqiao thought that Ah Fei would readily agree as before, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Brother Baiqiao, I'm leaving in a few days, I'm here to say goodbye to you. β
"Why are you leaving? Where are you going?"
"A few days later, my family came to pick me up. β
"Back to Hangzhou?"
"Hmm. β
"Okay, it's time for you to go home too, isn't it about to be the New Year, it's time to go home for a reunion dinner. β
Ah Fei saw that Zhang Baiqiao's words were full of loss, so he said: "Why don't you go with me, I invite you to my house to play, and then you celebrate the New Year at my house and have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, how about it?"
"No, my home is here, I'm not going anywhere. Zhang Baiqiao said that, and then practiced the sword again.
Three days later, several subordinates from Yujiazhuang rushed to Baiyun Peak, and the leader A Fei recognized that his name was Yu Cai. After Ah Fei said goodbye to everyone in Yunzhuang, he followed Yu Cai and others down the mountain to Hangzhou.
"Yu Cai, are my grandfather and my sister-in-law okay?"
"Of course, little master, it's all good, the old lady and the young grandmother are all very good, for most of the past six months, there has been no illness or disaster. The eldest young grandmother originally planned to pick you up in person, but unfortunately at the end of the year, there were too many chores in the Zhuangzi to spare it, so we had to send us to pick up the young master back. β
Ah Fei smiled and said, "Okay, it's good that everything is safe." β
At night, Ah Fei lay on the wooden bed in the inn, but he couldn't sleep over and over. He was naturally happy to be able to go home, but leaving Yunzhuang also made him very reluctant. Although the days of practicing martial arts in Yunzhuang are very hard, they are fulfilling, and someone is in charge, and Ah Fei feels that his martial arts have indeed improved a lot. He knew that his concentration was poor, and he was worried that when he returned home, he would become the same as before, playing around every day, and the skills he learned in Yunzhuang would be wasted again.
"The owner of Huayuezhuang did not die, but left home. When I can't sleep, it's easy to think about it, and Ah Fei suddenly remembered this sentence somehow.
"Before leaving, Uncle Zhang repeatedly told me that I must tell Brother Xu this sentence in person, it seems to be an extremely important matter, but what does she want to tell Brother Xu?" Ah Fei pondered for a while, and suddenly sat up: "Before Uncle Zhang told me this, she said this, 'Yun'er, he hurriedly went down the mountain to find the murderer, and he didn't say hello to me. Could it be that this sentence has something to do with Uncle Zhang......'s murderer? Could it be that he was the real murderer of Uncle Zhang?"
"However, why didn't Uncle Zhang tell Qin Zun about this, but she wanted to tell me about it and let me tell Brother Xu?" Ah Fei pushed open the window, looked at the dark night, frowned and pondered.
"Yes, the person who can kill Uncle Zhang must have very high martial arts. In the entire Yunzhuang, except for Uncle Zhang, the highest martial artist is Brother Xu, and the only one who can kill the murderer to avenge Uncle Zhang is Brother Xu. People like Qin Zun and Zhou Kun, if they knew about this, they would definitely go to the owner of Huayue Village to take revenge, but where would they be that person's opponents? Well, it must be so. β
Thinking like this, Ah Fei suddenly came to his senses and felt that he was shouldering a heavy responsibility: "Since it is related to the cause of Uncle Zhang's death, then I must find Brother Xu as soon as possible and tell him about it!"
Just as he was about to go out, he remembered Yu Cai and a few of their subordinates: "If I tell them that I am going to find Brother Xu, they will definitely go with me, but they are walking too slowly, and they will only delay the journey." But if you don't tell them, you will worry them. Hey, I'd better leave them a note. So he asked the shopkeeper for the four treasures of the study, and wrote crookedly on the paper: "I have something important to do, go first, you go home and tell grandpa, you don't have to look for me." β
After writing, he threw the brush in his hand, carried the purple gold knife, and took some scattered silver out of the inn.
"I remember that Brother Xu said that he was going to the Khitan Kingdom to find a beard...... That Khitan country...... It seems to be in the north. Ah Fei walked on the street and thought to himself.
Ah Fei raised his head and went to find the Big Dipper according to the method taught by his grandfather, but found that not only were there no stars in the night sky, but even the moon was gone.
"Oh, it's cloudy! Ah Fei couldn't help but panic a little in his heart.
"Hmph, whatever, just hurry, when there are people on the road tomorrow morning, wouldn't it be good to ask someone for directions?" Ah Fei tightened his jacket, put the purple gold knife on his back, and didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he casually found a direction, and walked away.
