Playing in the mountains and rivers all the way, enjoying the twilight spring scenery in early March, Wu Zheng was not only not in a hurry, but deliberately delayed the time to return to Linshan City.

Especially when I get closer, I don't know more and more about how to face the bits and pieces that Tie Ning has set up after returning to his home in Yonglin Lane, the so-called parting feelings brought about by seeing things and thinking about people.

Knowing that Tie Ning had only temporarily returned to his home in Jiangning Mansion, and that they would be able to meet in five months, the thoughts from the depths of his heart were increasing day by day.

For Wu Zheng, who has gone through ups and downs, the concept of home in his mind is particularly strong. Only a place with loved ones can be called home. Such as grandmother, such as parents, such as sister, etc.

Originally, there was a plan, that is, after returning to Linshan City to take office, when the eighteenth anniversary of his mother on April 18 and the fifth anniversary of his grandmother's death, he would go back to Wujiabao to go to the grave of his mother and grandmother. Even if you want to fight with the Wu family, you will not hesitate. But since he went to Ningfu as a guest, Wu Zheng had to change his mind temporarily.

Since he has decided not to recognize his grandfather for the time being, he can't go back to the grave. If his uncle Ning Yunju was still in the Shuntian Festival, it might not matter, after all, it was far away, and it was impossible for him to find out. Now it can't, Uncle Ning Yunju, who has been the patrol of the Eight Mansions, will definitely not be able to dispel the doubts in his heart for a while, and will naturally pay attention to his every move in Linshan Mansion.

No matter how much he didn't want to face the cold and deserted home without iron, Wu Zheng still stood at the entrance of the north gate of Linshan City on the evening of March 18, the twenty-first day after leaving the capital on February 26.

Just as Wu Zheng was sad in his heart, when he went, a group of four people were talking and laughing in the newly bought carriage, but when they came back alone, they suddenly heard the cry of a child approaching the city gate from the city. Moreover, it is not difficult to hear from the chaotic footsteps, there should be many people.

Walking into the city gate, he turned to the east and saw a pair of boys and girls in their teens running along the city wall, crying and shouting, and behind them were unhurriedly followed by seven men in green clothes.

Wu Zheng turned sideways to let the young men and women who were crying and running sideways, and blocked the seven people who were following behind, who didn't seem to be in a hurry.

Not only because the dress of the seven people reminded Wu Zheng of the Ma Qian who made trouble in the bookstore in the Causeway City section back then, but also because Wu Zheng actually recognized one of them, which was Ma Qian's subordinate back then, and was called Xiao Wu by Ma Qian.

"Good dogs don't get in the way, get out of the way!"

Although the road is very wide, although Wu Zheng, who is standing in the middle, is a little thin, it is impossible for the seven people who are coming to him to take a detour.

Wu Zheng ignored the scolding of the person walking in front, and still stood there motionless.

"What an eye-opening thing, thirteen fourteen. ”

"Yes, second brother. ”

It's still the habit of calling people in order, not by name.

The thirteen and fourteen who heard the sound were similar, almost all in their twenties, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, but Wu Zheng couldn't tell who was thirteen and who was fourteen.

Although looking at the posture of the two of them, they have also practiced a little rough kung fu, but where is Wu Zheng's opponent now. just rushed to Wu Zheng, and before he could make a move, he had already screamed miserably, holding his lower abdomen and falling to the ground.

"Presumptuous! ”

Although the second brother in the lead didn't see clearly how his two brothers were knocked to the ground by the young man in front of him, who seemed to be a weak scholar. But he was used to being rampant, so he still waved his hand and rushed up with the other three. Only the little five that Wu Zheng recognized, his body moved, and he finally stood in place.

Obviously, Xiao Wu has already realized something in his heart. It's just that I can't be sure for a moment that the young man in front of me is the one who appeared in Causeway City four years ago and subdued their boss in front of the horse.

There is no need to slaughter a chicken with a knife, Wu Zheng just stepped on Lingyun's footwork, his body shook, connected his four fingers, and the four people who rushed up were paralyzed on the street in the blink of an eye.

Wu Zheng clapped his hands and walked towards Xiao Wu, who was hesitating to turn around and run away.

"Don't, don't, I didn't, I didn't. ”

"Do you still recognize me?"

"Really, really Shaoxia?!"

Not only did he stutter, but his legs began to tremble.

"Where's the horse front?"

Without waiting for Xiao Wu to answer, he saw another person limping in the distance.

Not to mention that the long shirt on his body was full of muddy water, and there were wisps of blood oozing from the corners of his mouth......

The man was in his thirties, with a weak figure, and the blue cloth headband on his head had been loosened, and as he ran, his hair was falling down in strands, and even some green leaves were sticking to it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the child is still young, the child is still young!"

"Daddy. ”

"Daddy—. ”

At this time, a pair of young men and women, who had just run over and had even left the city gate, suddenly ran back crying and shouting to meet the comers. When he ran to the comer's side, he reached out to support the weak man who was stopping to breathe.

As soon as he looked at the outfit, Wu Zheng understood that the person who came should be a showman.

So he walked up, clasped his fists, and asked:

"Excuse me, sir, what happened?"

"He, they,......。 ”

I don't know if he was injured by the seven people just now, or because of the long distance running, the man who was gasping for breath couldn't speak smoothly at all.

Wu Zheng was just about to turn around and ask Xiao Wu, who was standing there and didn't dare to move, but the pair of young men and women told Wu Zheng what had happened intermittently with a heavy cry.

"We went to the street with my father to set up a stall to sell vegetables, and they came up and grabbed it, and smashed the vegetable stall. ”

"They said we didn't pay our share and couldn't set up a stall in the city. ”

"Daddy said that he couldn't hand it over when he sold the vegetables, and after smashing the vegetable stall, he started beating his father. ”

"Finally, finally,"

"They want to snatch my sister away, saying it's to pay for it. ”

"Daddy protected me, and I couldn't get up when I was beaten by them. ”

"I took my sister and ran, but they kept chasing after me. So, I met my uncle. ”

"Little Five?"

Wu Zheng turned his head and shouted.

"Young man. ”

"But that's the case?"

"Yes, young man. ”

"Do you remember how you served Shopkeeper Duan in Causeway City?"

"Remember, remember. It's just that....... ”

Wu Zheng glared, and Xiao Wu had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his mouth back into his stomach. turned around and walked to the six people who were lying on the ground, I don't know if it was because they were afraid, or because they were hit by Wu Zheng's acupuncture points, and they didn't move for a while, and groped on them one by one. After taking out all the money bags of the six people and closing them with his own, he wanted to hand them to Wu Zheng, but seeing that Wu Zheng didn't even look at him, he had to hand them over to the middle-aged man.

"W-how?"

Wu Zheng didn't try to persuade him, but said to Xiao Wu:

"Carry the gentleman home first. ”

"No, no, I can go. ”

Obviously, he didn't dare to offend these people in front of him, and the showman in front of him dodged and said that he didn't dare to let Xiao Wu carry it.

Xiao Wu didn't dare to hesitate any longer, but he knew that Wu Zheng would never show mercy. So he bent down and carried the already weak man on his back regardless of it. Led by two young men and women, they left the six people on the street and walked back along the same road.
