Wang Cheng pulled out a six or seven-year-old child from under the table, and slapped him twice on the buttocks, "You don't have long eyes, you came to me, don't you look at who this is, you dare to wet the clothes of the county magistrate." ” The child's mouth was curled, his two big round eyes were full of tears, and the two round buns on the top of his head made him very coquettish.
"Forget it, a child, what do you have to worry about with him," Cheng Muyou touched the child's head, "Go play, it's okay." ” Hearing him say this, the boy burst into tears and laughed, grimaced at Wang Cheng, and ran across the street with a leap of thought.
"Getting back to the point, where did Li Rengui go after drinking tea, do you remember?"
The kid on the opposite side had already started to play hopscotch, sandbags sandwiched between his feet, and he was jumping around in the painted grid, his body was flexible and light, and he didn't step on the line once.
"I can't remember, there were so many people that day, I couldn't greet my daughter-in-law and son, Li Rengui put the copper plate on the table after drinking tea and left, and he didn't even say hello."
Cheng Muyou was disappointed, "Think about it again, really don't have an impression?"
” Wang Cheng closed his eyes and pondered, and after a long time, he opened his round eyes like two copper coins, "I really can't remember." ” Cheng Muyou took out a few copper plates and stuffed them into his hand, "I still want to thank you, I'll go to the stall next to me and ask." ” After speaking, he got up and left, and without taking two steps, he was stopped by Wang Cheng again, "My lord, my lord" "You can take the money, I don't give it credit."
The Wang Cheng panted, "My lord, it's not like this, after Li Rengui left, I seemed to see him again somewhere, there was always such an impression, his face seemed to have appeared somewhere, but now I can't remember it for a while."
He grabbed his head, his fat face wrinkled into a mess and thought for a long time, and finally shook his head, "I must have seen it somewhere, why can't I remember it?"
” Cheng Muyou nodded slightly, "If you think about it, you will come to Xin'an Mansion to find me, you really provided important clues, and there is a big reward." ” Wang Cheng jumped up, and the fat all over his body trembled a few times, "Heavy reward?
Okay, well, I must think about it, meditate hard, think about it day and night, and try to come up with it and tell you to go. ” Seeing that Cheng Muyou was walking away, the child who had jumped off the house came over, "Uncle Wang, what are you happy about?"
” "Go, go, little bit of understanding, don't get in the way of my business."
After moving the last stack of tea bowls to the cart, Aunt Wang glanced at her husband who was lying on the table with his hands on his cheeks, "It's getting dark, it's time to go home, what's the matter, can't you talk about it when you get home?"
” Wang Cheng waved his hand impatiently, "You go back first, since I promised Master Cheng, I must figure out where Li Rengui has been." ” "If you can't figure it out, you're going to sit here all night?"
Aunt Wang shook her head and smiled bitterly, seeing that he didn't care about herself, she buried her head in the crook of her arm, so she had to push the car and go home first.
As the minutes passed, the surroundings gradually quieted down, and the stalls were basically put away and left, so it was said that now should be the most suitable time to think about problems.
But Wang Cheng turned his body to this side for a while, and twisted back for a while, so anxious that he was sweating, but he still didn't remember where he saw Li Rengui again.
He watched the moon climb from the east to the top of his head little by little, and let out a lament from the depths of his heart: since he was a child, he was not an embryo of reading, people never forgot it, he forgot it when he saw it, he didn't think it was so big, or he didn't grow at all, and he couldn't remember anything.
The night wind blew, and he snorted, only to realize that his lower abdomen had been suffocated and was about to explode.
He simply stopped forcing himself, hunched over and ran towards the docks.
On the south side of the wharf is a wasteland, and although it is adjacent to the water, there are many rocks, and it is deep into the water, and there are rows and rows, so that cargo ships do not moor here.
Over time, this place has become a convenient place for people, especially these people who set up stalls in the market, who are unwilling to run to the thatched houses half a mile away, and often visit here.
Over time, the smell of this wasteland becomes unusually fishy, and you have to cover your mouth and nose and run quickly to pass through this place, let alone stay here.
Even wild cats and dogs are reluctant to linger in the area, and the wasteland becomes even more desolate.
Wang Cheng is a clean-loving person, on weekdays, he would rather walk a few more steps than come here for convenience, but today, he is really forced to do so, he is afraid that he has already peed his pants before he goes to the toilet, so he has to endure nausea, pinch his nose with one hand, untie his pants with the other, and slowly release the heat energy in his body.
The urgent need was solved, he shivered comfortably, and was about to lift his pants, but a scene that he had not come up with for several hours of hard thinking and meditation popped up in his mind, he didn't care about the stench, and stood in place in a daze, his mouth circled into a circle.
Yes, I remembered, I finally remembered where Li Rengui had been.
A burst of surprise rolled through his heart, Wang Cheng stood up straight, hurriedly fastened his pants, turned around and walked back: No wonder, no wonder I always felt that Li Rengui was dangling in front of me, it turned out that he had been staying there, and I thought about it all night, and I didn't even bother to eat a bite of food.
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace and hurriedly climbed up the embankment.
Leng Buding stepped on a slippery pebble that had been washed by water, and with a crooked step, he fell into a very indecent posture, the corners of his mouth seemed to be broken by the stone, and a fishy sweetness swept through his mouth in an instant.
But Wang Cheng didn't care about these now, and he didn't dislike these smelly stones pickled, his mind was full of Cheng Muyou's words of reward, and he was about to get up with his hands on the ground.
His body was bent into a bow, and he shook it a few times, and was just about to stand up straight, but a shadow suddenly covered his head.
Someone was standing in front of him, his body, blocking the moonlight above.
Wang Cheng stood up, stared at the man's face, and suddenly "chuckled" in his heart, but his face struggled to maintain calm, and a smile came out of the corner of his mouth, "It's so late, you haven't gone back yet?"
” "Aren't you the same, the stalls are all closed, why don't people leave?"
"I settle the accounts, you know, those backwives have a lot of money on credit, if you don't settle the accounts well, I'm afraid they won't admit it."
The words were stumbling, but the fat body flexibly bypassed the figure and quickened his pace towards the riverbank.
The black shadow slowly raised his head and stared at the perfectly shaped full moon in the night sky, "What are you counting in the middle of the moon just now?"
”
