Chapter 31 The first person to leave Yushui Street

The young man from the pharmacy shop followed the two of them, thinking about it. He suddenly realized that he hadn't done anything. He turned around and ran back to the pharmacy shop quickly, grabbed a few pairs of medicine, took them with him, and then went out. After a while, he caught up with the mother and daughter.

The woman looked at the fair-looking boy, for some reason he caught up with him.

The fair boy smiled on his face and said nothing, and directly stuffed the pairs of medicines in his hand into the woman's arms. The latter was stunned for a moment, then as if he had remembered something, wiped his tears and forced a smile: "I'll thank you for An An."

The fair-skinned boy waved his hand and urged them to go back quickly. It was indeed getting late.

The woman nodded and hugged An An in her arms and accelerated her pace, but this time the pace became lighter.

When the mother and son returned home, they found that the man was snoring soundly. The woman sighed lightly, scolded the unscrupulous man and went back to Xi An'an's room, but the woman tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

Can this man still fall asleep?

Alas, how can there be a father in this world who gives up his daughter?

The woman was thinking, but after such a night of trouble, she was indeed a little tired and finally fell asleep.

But Xi Anan, who was beside him, suddenly opened his eyes.

The little girl turned her back to the woman, turned to lie on her side, thinking that if it weren't for my illness, my mother wouldn't have shed tears. The little girl hadn't fallen asleep from the beginning, and she was lying on a chair in the medicine shop to pretend to be asleep. She vaguely heard words like silver and medicine. Even though she was young, she could now know why her mother ran away from home in the middle of the night with her self-carried herself, let alone leaving her father...

In fact, Xi Anan had no complaints about her father. Her family was poor, and in this world, there was no status for girls. Although her father talked about why he had no son every day and said that if he had one, he could help him move goods, Xi Anan never heard her father say that he regretted giving birth to her.

This alone is enough. Xi Anan felt in his heart that maybe his father wouldn't think so when he grows up and can go out to earn some money, right?

Well, that must be the case.

That night, nine-year-old Xi Anan fell asleep with tears.

Mianzhi finally broke free from the "Yi Daoke" incident. He has been in a daze these few months and went to the market to sell fish intermittently. He still couldn't understand why the person on the secret list was coming to him. If it weren't for Yi Daoke's business, how could he come to his door to ask him about candied haws?

This tall boy really didn't know what to do in the past few months. He just felt that when he was facing the man in black, he had no room for resistance. If Zhiqiu hadn't said a few words later, Mianzhi would have a strong premonition.

The man in black would kill himself.

As for why the man in black did not kill him, he couldn't understand. Maybe it was because Zhiqiu answered the reason for candied haws?

No matter what, the tall boy still felt that his strength was too low. So Mianzhi has been practicing Taoist methods of absorbing and exhaling in the past few months. This method of exhaling was originally learned in that mountain before. But he had not practiced it more than two years ago. Because Mianzhi came to Suzhou after some things down the mountain three years ago, and when he went down the mountain, he decided not to practice this method of exhaling.

It just so happened that the past three years in Gusuzhou, Mianzhi had never used some punches and feet to teach Zhiqiu a lesson, but he had never used Taoism.

But finally I met the man in black who could make him nervous.

His strength is still too low. He has been in the Tong Realm for three years. Even if he picks up the breathing method in a while, he still can't break through his identity for the time being.

Even though Mianzhi felt that the man in black would not find him again for a while, it would be good to be prepared for any eventuality. The tall boy had been on that mountain for five years, and his talent was not the highest, but in terms of diligence, he was one of the best on the whole mountain. This is why he was called the youngest Yitong Realm by his master.

But Mianzhi has been wandering for a long time. Even though he has not continued to practice the method of exhaling, he is still practicing some boxing every day. Why has he still been stagnant? Did the master say that at that time just to stabilize my mood?

Mianzhi didn't know that he had been practicing the mental method at any time in the past few months, walking, sleeping, meditating, and even now he often gets lost when he walks on the road from time to time, not knowing where he has gone.

Before Mian Zhitian was dawn, he went to the riverside to meditate for two hours. When he returned home, he found Zhiqiu sitting at the door, drowsy. The tall boy felt a little strange, so he touched Zhiqiu with his hand, but Zhiqiu did not respond.

So the tall boy used some force to touch Zhiqiu. The latter suddenly woke up. Before Mianzhi could speak, Zhiqiu asked loudly: "Hey! Big silly, do you know where Ji Zhengyi has gone?"

Mianzhi was stunned for a moment. He thought he was asking Ji Zhengyi where he was at this time, so he replied angrily: "Where can you be? You must have gone to the cabin at this time."

Zhiqiu shook his head and said anxiously: "I'm not asking you this, am I asking Ji Zhengyi where he has been there during this period?"

At this time, Mianzhi felt that things seemed not simple. He thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Are you saying that Ji Zhengyi missing? He was not in the cabin, was that next to the old Taoist priest?"

Zhiqiu saw Mianzhi's answer and sighed in his heart. Looking at the scene, this silly man probably didn't know where Ji Zhengyi was going.

Where else can this person run away? He can leave the cabin and leave the old Taoist priest. Zhiqiu couldn't figure it out in his heart. He didn't answer Mianzhi's words. He sighed softly, patted Mianzhi's shoulder, and prepared to turn around and leave.

When Mianzhi saw Zhiqiu not answering, he felt something should have happened. He grabbed Zhiqiu and asked loudly, "I'll ask you, what's wrong with Ji Zhengyi?"

Zhiqiu was pulled a little painful. He frowned slightly. When Mianzhi saw it, he let go of his hand.

Zhiqiu said slowly: "Ji Zhengyi hasn't been to the cabin for many days. This is what Mr. Wen told me, so I came to ask you, and I thought you knew."

Mianzhi felt a little strange and continued to ask, "In this way, you should have gone to his house and knocked on the door, right? No one should have answered, where is his parents? Have you gone to find them?"

Mianzhi knew that Ji Zhengyi's father was carrying goods at the dock, but when he was practicing the method of exhaling breath by the river, no one was transporting them there.

He had a premonition that Ji Zheng and his family were gone.

Zhiqiu didn't even respond and sat down on the ground.

When Mianzhi saw it, he suddenly became a little angry. He stepped forward and pulled Zhiqiu up. The latter was pulled up by a tall man like a shriveled puppet, with no expression on his face.

Mianzhi sorted out his thoughts and said, "Let's calm down first, think about whether he had any special reaction when we saw Ji Zhengyi last time. This is the first point. Second, let's think about whether Ji Zhengyi has any enemies, or we will check if his parents have enemies later. Third..." He paused when he said the third point, not knowing what to say, and he continued, "For the rest of you, your mind is more brilliant."

Zhiqiu was not polite, and said in a deep voice: "Third, think about why Ji Zhengyi left without saying goodbye? There are only two reasons. One is that there is an urgent matter at home, and the whole family left Gusuzhou together. However, this is unlikely. With his personality, although it is a little cold, no matter how he will say goodbye to other people in Yushui Street, An Wu? Xu Jing? Or you, especially you, as the second brother of Yushui Street, you, Ji Zhengyi will not tell you a moment of farewell? The second reason is simple and clear. He was taken away by someone, and it is very likely that he was a enemy. As for what enemy, I don't know for the time being."

Mianzhi nodded, agreeing with Zhiqiu's analysis. But he couldn't figure out what enemies Ji Zhengyi could have. He continued to ask: "What enemies do you think Ji Zhengyi can have? His parents seem to be ordinary people, otherwise they wouldn't have come to Yushui Street to live."

Zhiqiu didn't know that he had asked the pigeon to check Ji Zhengyi's background, but he had not replied. He felt that he could only stabilize first. He now comforted the tall boy and said, "We should not spread this news now. When it's getting brighter, we will ask An Wu together. An Wu and Ji Zhengyi are classmates. Ji Zhengyi hasn't come to the cabin for so long. Why hasn't An Wu asked you? I don't think it's normal."

Mianzhi felt that there was indeed some truth. If Ji Zhengyi suddenly disappeared, why did Mr. Wen come to find Zhiqiu instead of An Wu?

After discussing for a while, the two of them prepared to go to the cabin together. As soon as they were about to go out, they met An Wu. After the latter glanced at the two, they smiled and greeted him.

Wanzhi couldn't help but rushed over and asked, "An Wu, has Ji Zhengyi not been to the cabin for a long time?"

When An Wu heard this, he paused for a second, then smiled and said, "Oh, you said Xiaoyi, he told me that he was going to go out with his parents, as if he was going to see his distant relatives."

Zhiqiu looked at An Wu from the side and felt something strange. It seemed that he had never heard of Ji Zhengyi having relatives outside before, but since he said he was a distant room, there was still a possibility.

Maybe I was worried too much? Zhiqiu couldn't help but doubt himself, but if he remembered correctly, the pigeon came to report that Ji Zhengyi was from Gusuzhou alone and did not go with his parents.

Then why did Anwu lie?

Or did Ji Zhengyi also deceive An Wu?

Zhiqiu didn't go up to talk to him, and continued to listen to the words of the two of them.

After hearing this, Mianzhi continued, "Did Ji Zhengyi talk to Mr. Wen?"

An Wu shook his head and said, "Xiaoyi didn't tell her, because he told me that day on the way back to Yushui Street. After that, the husband asked me and I told her that I also told her, so she knew it."

Zhiqiu was even more surprised when he heard this. If Mr. Wen had heard An Wu's words, he still came to ask himself, which means that Mr. Wen did not believe An Wu's words, or did he not believe what Ji Zhengyi did?

Zhiqiu stepped forward and asked a few casual questions, and then prepared to pull Mianzhi away.

After hearing An Wu's words, Mianzhi felt a little relieved, so he followed Zhiqiu outside.
