When Sui Xing walked over, leaned down and took a closer look at the thief who was lying on the ground and passed out, he seemed to feel a little familiar.

"Hey, how do you feel like you've seen this person somewhere?"

"Husband?"

Luo Yiyi also left the child in the room and ran out to take a look.

"It seems to be the northwest corner of the town, five miles away from Lijiazhuang, Sui Xia, the son of Sui Tongzhi, who does short-term work for our family. ”

Looking down again, Sui Xing said decisively:

"Can't be wrong, it should be him. ”

As soon as Wu Zheng heard this, his heart couldn't help but move, could it be that the fortune teller was entrusted by this person? Otherwise, where would there be a person who followed the thief all the way. It must be that this person is unwilling to go through all the trouble but does not become Sui Xing's companion reading boy, so he is not angry. It is estimated that Sui Xing must have brought a lot of property with him when he entered the city to study this time, firstly, out of anger, and secondly, he was greedy for Sui Xing's money.

However, Wu Zheng would not express the suspicions in his heart.

Soon, the innkeeper invited the town's riser over.

At this point, the faint, skinny thief also woke up. As soon as he saw that he was surrounded by everyone, he immediately wept bitterly and began to talk nonsense, so that everyone could not even hear what he was saying.

"Shut up, who and where are you?"

Seeing that the thief didn't squeak, Sui Xing immediately told the identity of the thief to Li Zheng, who rushed over.

While explaining to everyone what had just happened, Wu Zheng reached out and took out the thin bamboo tube from Sui Xia's arms, who were still sitting on the ground and refused to get up. When Sui Xing saw it, he immediately raised his foot and kicked it over.

He knew how powerful this thing was, not to mention that he did have a lot of money on him, and there was a wife in the room, as well as his infant daughter Meng'er. If Sui Xia succeeded, Sui Xing didn't dare to think about it.

After an hour of brain trouble, Li Zhengcai led someone to take Sui Xia away, and at this time, it was already past the time of the child, and it was time to come to the ugly time. The bright moon in the sky has also turned west.

Sui Xing praised Wu Zheng twice, but Luo Yiyi directly stepped forward and bowed to Wu Zheng, so panicked that Wu Zheng hurriedly dodged away, and humbly said:

"Young grandma, don't do this, I didn't do anything. Besides, that's what I'm supposed to do. ”

The little girl Cuiliu looked at Wu Zheng with an almost adoring gaze from beginning to end, and her little face turned red with excitement.

followed Luo Yiyi back to the room, and when he came to the door of the room, he didn't forget to turn his head and look at Wu Zheng again, that look made Wu Zheng feel a little fluttery for a long time.

Although the mule cart driver never spoke, after Sui Xing and his wife returned to the room, he rushed into the room in front of Wu Zheng, and then walked out with the futon in his hand, walked directly to the mule cart parked in the courtyard of the inn, and got into it.

Obviously, he heard Wu Zheng say that he was awakened by his own snoring.

Wu Zheng wanted to go over and tell the coachman that it was better to sleep in the car by himself, but he didn't want the driver to put down the curtain of the carriage directly, and then there was a snoring sound inside.

Standing in the courtyard and hesitating for a while, thinking that it would soon be dawn, and then he would have to carry the burden and hurry, Wu Zheng turned around and went back to his room to sleep.

Due to being troubled by Sui Xia at night, everyone slept a little more in the morning, and did not get up until the beginning of the morning, had breakfast, and left the room at the end of the day, packed up and prepared to go on the road.

Wu Zheng was just about to bend down to pick up the burden, but he didn't want the coachman to come over and take the burden from Wu Zheng's hand and throw it on the mule cart. Although he still didn't say a word, his expression softened a lot.

Wu Zheng hurriedly bent down and thanked him.

"Thank you, uncle. ”

didn't think that as soon as the words fell, Emerald Green, who had already sat on the wheel, also followed up and said:

"Thank you, Uncle Zheng. ”

After speaking, he also turned his red little face and glanced at Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng didn't think much about it, and nodded with a smile at the back of Cuiliu's head who had already turned his head to look ahead. Then he quickly crossed the mule cart and walked to Sui Xing, who was riding a mule in front, meaning to take the reins and lead the mule for Sui Xing.

"No, I'll do it myself. You take your time. ”

Wu Zheng, who is not loaded and light, is in a good mood on this day.

In this way, the group walked for two more days, and on the evening of August 21, they finally entered the city of Causeway before the city gates were closed. Without pausing at all, he came directly to the courtyard of a courtyard with a single courtyard, three north houses, a west ear room, and two wing rooms in the east and west, which was only separated from the county school by an alley, and the Sui family had already rented it.

Due to the tiring days of the group, they simply tidied up and went to bed early after dinner.

Early the next morning, Uncle Zheng drove the mule cart on the road without breakfast. After that, Wu Zheng was under the command of Sui Xing and Cuiliu were busy.

Sui Xing and his wife lived in the west room, Cuiliu lived in the west ear room, and the east room of the north house was cleaned up for Sui Xing to use as a study. Wu Zheng was arranged to the north side of the east wing, and the south room was a utility room. There are two wings on the west side, one for the kitchen and the other for the cooking room. In the southwest corner of the courtyard, there is also a very small thatched house. Naturally, the daily cleaning is accompanied by Wu Zheng, who is both a student and a follower.

The days passed quickly, and it was the end of the year in a blink of an eye, after the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Sui Xing took his wife, daughter Meng'er, and the little girl Cuiliu to return to his hometown in Xiangyang Town for the New Year, leaving Wu Zheng to watch the house in the county seat.

Although Cuiliu had secretly complained many times in private that Sui Xing had left Wu Zheng alone, this was exactly what Wu Zheng wanted. If a person stays, he can not only avoid the search shop of Wu Liu's two families, but also carefully figure out "Lingxiao Nine Styles", and even read the books that Sui Xing read in the county school, and borrow the waste paper that Sui Xing usually accumulates to practice calligraphy.

After sending off Sui Xing's family, Wu Zheng was completely liberated. Although Sui Xing will come back after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a month is enough for Wu Zheng to secretly enjoy for a while.

It was another sunny night, although the winter here in Causeway City was very cold, it was nothing to Wu Zheng. Standing in the courtyard, he repeatedly practiced the first style in "Lingxiao Nine Styles" - like a bamboo for more than half an hour, before he raised his feet and returned to the study of Sui Xing, the main landlord.

Usually, Wu Zheng didn't come in, but because Sui Xing was there, he naturally wouldn't mess with Sui Xing's books. Now there is no need to scruples, as long as after reading it, it will be placed as it is, so that Sui Xing will not see it when he comes back.

Momentarily happy, Wu Zheng almost pulled out the books that Sui Xing had placed on the bookshelf on the north wall one by one and flipped them over. When he flipped to the cover of a book that was obviously handwritten: "Sui Family Motto", because he saw that the four words were strong and powerful, not to mention, but also revealing a fierce momentum, out of curiosity, he couldn't help but open it casually and read it from the beginning.

Wu Zheng's attention was not on the literal meaning of "The Family Motto of the Sui Family", but on the fierce momentum revealed in the strong handwriting.

As I flipped through the pages, I had just turned a third of the way to a different page.

The reason why it is different is that there is not the slightest handwriting on this page, only some unusually messy footprints.

Yes, footprints. It's just that it's not the footprints that you step on, it's the footprints you draw. Wu Zheng counted carefully, and there were as many as one hundred and eighty.

"What is this?"

Wu Zheng, who was surprised, continued to flip back, and saw four pages of paper full of footprints in the "Sui Family Motto", which was less than a hundred leaves. These four strange pages of paper are not simply sandwiched in the "Sui Family Motto", but firmly nailed to the pages. If someone who doesn't know how to read reads sees it, they will definitely mistake it for an illustration in a book.

It's just that these four pages of illustrations are a bit weird, neither flowers nor people, nor landscapes, but messy footprints.

"What do you mean?"

Wu Zheng couldn't guess it, and when he felt a wave of sleepiness coming, he simply threw it on the bookcase and went back to his room to sleep.
