Wu Zheng, who had not slept all night, was first chased into the mountains and forests behind the village of Houpo Village, and then encountered Liu Shijin and the three of them on the road southeast of the village.

Because they did not dare to venture on the road, it was even more laborious to walk through the wilderness and withered grass and forests. Although he killed a frightened hare casually, Wu Zheng did not dare to set up a fire to barbecue. Although he didn't know where those who wanted to catch him had gone, he was sure that Wu Jiabao would never let him go.

So Wu Zheng carried the dead hare, walked all the way, and after seeing a village on the side of the road in the wilderness, he raised his feet and walked over. I plan to exchange the hare in my hand for a meal, and then I will fill my stomach first.

As soon as I crossed the main road to the entrance of the village, I saw three or four carpenters making furniture in the open space outside the courtyard gate of a house. Wu Zheng, who had no intention of staying at the edge of the village, but had been nervous to be recognized, suddenly appeared in his eyes from time to time, but Wu Gang, the little overlord, and Wu Mingzhi, who won the fourth place in this year's big competition, suddenly appeared. In a hurry, Wu Zheng hurriedly walked to the site where he was doing carpenter work, and saw an uncle in his forties who was struggling to see and untie the board alone, threw down the hare in his hand, squatted down and held the other end of the big saw, and pulled it up with the strength and speed of the carpenter uncle.

The carpenter's uncle was amused at first by the boy who suddenly appeared in front of him to help with the saw, thinking that it was a child playing in the village, so he was curious and reached out to help. I wanted to stop talking, but I suddenly found that the young man didn't seem to be here to make trouble, but instead looked like a seesaw, and then grinned, and didn't forget to praise Wu Zheng:

"That's smart, that's how it pulls. ”

Wu Zheng didn't dare to speak at this time, just smiled in return, and then buried his head and pulled up.

The little overlords Wu Gang and Wu Mingzhi obeyed Wu Chun's arrangement, and followed behind the five people who were searching for Wu Zheng in Liulin Fort, and came quietly all the way. After all, the five people of Liulin Fort had just passed by, so they never thought that Wu Zheng would appear here.

Since the big competition in the clan, there has been news that Wu Zheng fled because he lost the big green cow. After that, I slowly heard that Wu Zheng was secretly sunk in the pond. Wu Gang, the little overlord who didn't understand why, when he heard that day, it was Wu Zheng who shot down the weapons in the hands of Wu Fan and Wu Yi, thus saving himself, so his heart was still quite clean Wu Zheng. I have been planning in my heart that once I find Wu Zheng, I must first thank Wu Zheng.

At the same time, Wu Gang also secretly calculated, saying that the manly husband has kindness and revenge, if he really found Wu Zheng first, he must let him go to repay the grace of the siege that day.

After all, four months have passed since the big competition on April 18, and although Wu Zheng's figure has not changed significantly, the clothes on his body have long been changed. Although I saw a teenager appear at the entrance of the village just now, the boy walked directly into the field where the furniture was made, and without saying a word, he squatted down and sawed off, Wu Gang and Wu Mingzhi subconsciously passed through the village, and they didn't think about Wu Zheng at all.

It wasn't until he felt that the little overlord Wu Gang and Wu Mingzhi had gone away that Wu Zheng stopped and said to the carpenter uncle:

"Uncle, I just shot a hare, and I want to come to the village for a meal. ”

"You're not a kid from this village?"

Wu Zheng smiled and shook his head.

"In that case, we're about to have dinner, so I'll tell the host's family to eat here. ”

As he spoke, the carpenter's uncle glanced at the hare on the ground out of the corner of his eye. Wu Zheng immediately realized:

"Then thank you uncle, this hare will be handed over to uncle to deal with. ”

After speaking, Wu Zheng squatted down again and helped pull up the big saw.

Indeed, less than half an hour later, an aunt came out of the courtyard gate and came to greet the four carpenters, saying:

"Master Zhang has eaten. ”

"Okay. ”

The four of them stopped at the same time, and Wu Zheng also stood up.

"Master, this kid looks good. ”

There were two young men of seventeen or eighteen years old among the four, and they were the apprentices of the two older ones. One of them looked at Wu Zheng who was standing there, and said with a smile to the middle-aged man who pulled the big saw.

The middle-aged man didn't say anything, first walked over, covered the hare that Wu Zheng threw on the ground with sawdust, and then waved his hand at Wu Zheng, meaning to follow along.

Wu Zheng followed him into the courtyard, and then heard the middle-aged uncle in front of him say to the aunt:

"Sister-in-law of the Xie family, this child helped me pull the big saw for most of the morning, and I will reward him with a meal at noon. ”

"Look at what Master Li said, just didn't help the saw, rushed to the head of the meal, and came in for a meal to make our family poor?"

Sure enough, as Wu Zheng expected, this Master Li fell in love with the hare he had hit, and he didn't mention it to the master's family at all.

While immersing himself in eating, he listened to the chatter between the four carpenters and the master's family.

"My daughter got married in October, right?"

"Yes, the day is set. Otherwise, there is no hurry to make a dowry. ”

"Wujiabao is a well-known good place, and the daughter will definitely not be able to endure hardship if she marries there. ”

"Alas, who is a parent who does not hope for the good of his children? ”

"Brother Xie, it seems that I heard that my son-in-law is the descendant of a steward in Wujiabao?"

"I can't talk about stewardship, but I always run back and forth with the patriarch, and I'm a little embarrassed. ”

When Wu Zheng, who was immersed in eating, heard this, he was stunned in his heart, and he came to Wu Lishan's fiancée's house by mistake.

It seems that at this time, the family remembered that there was another little guest, Wu Lishan's prospective father-in-law asked casually:

"Child, where is your home?"

Knowing that Wujiabao and Liulinbao were mortal enemies, Wu Zheng didn't dare to say that he was from Liulinbao anymore, so he hurriedly raised his head and said:

"Uncle, my family is from Shannan. ”

The locals call the area south of Wujiabao and the south of the mountains as Shannan. Due to the relative backwardness there, the locals look down on the people of Shannan. Since ancient times, girls from Shannan have been married, but I have never heard of a girl marrying in Shannan.

"How old are you?"

"I'm almost fourteen years old. ”

Master Li, who didn't want to pull the big saw, suddenly asked Wu Zheng:

"Do you want to learn carpenter?"

Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, looked up at the so-called Master Li, and couldn't help but think about it quickly. If you agree, it will be a temporary shelter, but once you agree, you will have to stay here until the furniture is finished, which is risky. Besides, what if they want to go to Wujiabao to do work one day?

In the end, he shook his head and said:

"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to study, this time I went out to find my father who had been lost for four years. Because I was tired of walking today, I had spent all the money I was carrying, so I ....... ”

It was probably because he was worried that Wu Zheng mentioned the hare, so before Wu Zheng finished speaking, Master Li interrupted him.

"Oh, that's right. How did your father get lost?"

"I got lost when I went out doing business with someone. ”

Soon, Wu Zheng, who had a full stomach, also had a new plan in his heart.

It can be imagined from the sudden appearance of the little overlord Wu Gang that Houpo Village said that he couldn't go back. Luo Xudong and Zhen Qingyi's life-saving grace can only wait for the next day to report.

During the meal, he casually said "I am from Shannan" but reminded Wu Zheng that since they were all searching for themselves in this area, why not go to Shannan unexpectedly?

After the meal, he thanked Wu Lishan's quasi-father-in-law's family, and even met Wu Lishan's fiancée Xie Miaoying, turned around and said goodbye to the four carpenters, and crossed the road just now, Wu Zheng once again went into the mountains and wilderness to the south.
