"Dachun, why did you get up so early today?" A man carrying a bucket greeted Wei Chun as he passed by the alley.

"I woke up from a dream and got up. Has your construction site started so early?" Wei Chun also asked when he saw an acquaintance.

"Yes, I have been working continuously for the past few days. I have to work before dawn. Fortunately, the wages are full. There is no complaint. Are you happy when you have work?" The man showed a satisfied smile, although It was hard work, but he smiled from the bottom of his heart.

"That's right."

Wei Chun also smiled.

After brushing past the man carrying water, she continued to turn east and west along the alley, and soon came to an abandoned house full of broken bricks and wood.

The surrounding walls of the house are also full of holes, the yard is overgrown with weeds, and there are many large holes on the roof that seem to be left by warriors after fighting.

Even the pillars used as pillars have many round holes on them, which seem to be fingerprints.

Every time Wei Chun passed by, he liked to touch those fingerprints, and then tried to insert his own fingers into them.

In this way, she felt for a long time that she was also a master of martial arts, which was very refreshing.

After entering the courtyard, she touched the openings again, and then walked to the back room.

The inner room is generally the main hall, study room, and bedroom area of ​​the owner's house, while the outer room is the living room, reception room, outer courtyard and other places.

The back room of this house is also messy, but compared to the outside, it is much more orderly.

At this time, on the only open space, an old man with gray hair was lying on a hand-woven rattan chair basking in the sun, looking drowsy.

Chapter 250

Hearing the sound of people coming in, the old man opened his drowsy old eyes and glanced at Wei Chun.

"Chunzi...you are here again."

"Master Zhuang, I have done everything you asked me to do last time, and I have also mastered the set of striking the clock you taught me. When will you teach me a new move?" Wei Chun showed a smile. A flattering expression.

"Just do it well, don't let anyone find out, it's safest to be hidden." The old man let out a breath, and slowly got up straight from the wicker chair.

"You've mastered the bell strike, and I'll teach you another step on the ground." He stood up slowly, stretched his legs and bent over, flexing his muscles and bones.

"Chunzi, it's a pity that you are getting old. Otherwise, with your roots, if you lay the foundation early, you will definitely have something to do. It's a pity..."

"It's okay, as long as you can practice martial arts, I used to know some tricks. If I hadn't met you old man, I might not know how strong real martial arts are." Wei Chun didn't think it was a pity at all.

"You are a good boy... you have a good heart... well, but these things I handed to you must not be seen by outsiders. When you practice, you should also find a remote place where no one is around, so as not to cause trouble." Zhuang Grandpa exhorts.

"Chunzi understands!" Wei Chun replied seriously.

She saved Master Zhuang who was covered in injuries in an accident.

Master Zhuang seemed to be being hunted down by someone, if she hadn't covered and rescued him in time, he would have been a pile of bones by now.

Among them, a treasure called the Chongxing Cup was involved.Wei Chun didn't quite understand the reason.

"There are quite a few people who robbed the Chongxing Cup, Peach Blossom Temple, Zhou Dashan, the Ancient Sword Sect, and the White Jade Crown. This thing is a good thing. So many people rob it. No matter who gets it, I will not be good. End." Master Zhuang smiled.

"After all, there is a big secret involved in it."

"Big secret?" Wei Chun was a little curious, but he didn't dare to ask further.

"You'll know later, since you've become my disciple. Sooner or later, these things will all be yours. I'm too seriously injured, and I don't think I'll be able to live long." Master Zhuang said with a faint smile.

"Don't talk nonsense, you are in good health, and you must have a long life!" Wei Chun quickly retorted.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about this, show me the bell strike you have practiced." Master Zhuang laughed.

"Yes..." Wei Chun nodded.

……

Feiye City, the old house of the Wei family.

Some shabby rat alleyside.

Wei Ying squeaked and pushed open the wooden window to let the air in the room.

Maki was wearing a veil on the side, looking at this humble and narrow house.

"Yingying, last time we came back, the holes in the walls that we patched up seemed to have been drilled by mice again."

"Ah? Where is it?" Wei Ying hurried over to look.

They returned all the way, it took half a year to return to Feiye City, and then they bought a house in Feiye City to live in, and would come back to the old house from time to time to have a look, and the rest of the time, they were looking for their parents and eldest sister everywhere whereabouts.

But in the vast sea of ​​people, the two of them are not familiar with each other, so where can they find it.

Now is the time when Feiye City is strictly controlled.

Under the rule of the Hong family, Feiye City has absorbed a large number of refugees from other places, as well as the miners rescued before. Together, Feiye City is now more lively than it was a few years ago.

People are everywhere.

The Hong family had to transfer people to expand part of the city and expand the urban area.

"I'll get the tools. Don't touch me, Machi, and I'll mend it myself." Wei Ying went ahead and went under the bed to find a tool in a cloth bag.

It happened that a black mouse jumped out from the foot of the bed in fright, and she slapped it on the ground and grabbed it.

"Dead mouse!" Wei Ying threw the mouse out of the window with disgust.

Maki was helping to fetch water.

The two cooperated tacitly, and quickly filled the mouse hole, and sprinkled a little rat poison prepared by Maki herself.

Not very effective though.

"We've been back for quite a while, if we can't find it, let's go back." Wei Ying said helplessly as she sat down at the foot of the bed after finishing her work.

"Don't worry, they'll be fine." Maki sat next to her, wrapping her arms around her waist unconsciously.

Wei Ying just sighed.She was worried that if she didn't go back after a long time, the younger brother might be worried.

She also asked someone to send a letter back before, but unfortunately there was no news.

But she didn't know how rich Wei He's experience in Taizhou was after she left, and now he has become an official wanted criminal.Megatron Taizhou became one of the seven heroes of the Four Dao Qiying.

The two rested in the room for a while, then got up and left again.

When the two got into the carriage, they left for about half an hour.

Outside Mouse Alley.

A group of men carrying all kinds of construction site tools passed by the alley in groups.

Wei Tang was among them. When he passed Mouse Alley, he looked at the alley slowly passing by and sighed.

"I used to live here. When I went back, I found that there was a leak everywhere, and my second daughter and youngest son were gone. I don't know if they died or what..."

"Don't say such depressing words." The worker on the side said, "Maybe they just went to other places to find work. At that time, what did they do if they stayed here to wait for death?"

"That's right, old Wei, don't think too much, why don't you go back and have a look later?" Another person said.

"Forget it." Wei Tang shook his head, "I have to make it through the night in one breath, and there will be a curfew at night, so I don't have time to watch..."

A group of people talked about their past events, and gradually moved away with tools on their shoulders.

Wei Tang didn't want to waste time. His wife, Li Cui, was suffering from an unknown disease. Now it was time for him to need money urgently. After finishing his work, he had to go home to take care of his old wife.

As for this sadness, let it pass completely.In order not to go back, I would think of the second daughter and youngest son who had no bones.

It's just that he didn't expect that if he really went back, he might be able to see the traces of his house being repaired, and he could find the traces of his house being cleaned up.

That's why it was discovered that someone had gone back.

Unfortunately, Wei Tang had many things on his mind.

He and his wife didn't even tell their eldest daughter Wei Chun about their illness.Don't want her to worry.

His wife, Li Cui, had fingernail-sized red envelopes growing on her back, which was neither painful nor itchy. She usually had no symptoms, but she suddenly coughed up blood some time ago.

Wei Tang secretly brought money and took his wife to see the pharmacist.It's a pity that I didn't see any tricks, and I wasted money.

After that time, his wife Li Cui strongly asked not to watch it.They are already very old, and the eldest daughter Wei Chun is still unmarried in order to take care of them, and all the money she earns is spent on her own family.

In this way, she can only live half full. If the money is used at home again, she is worried that her eldest daughter will really be unable to hold on and will collapse.She knows that her daughter has to be strong-tempered. If she finds out about her condition, she will definitely work hard to make money.

Wei Tang was silent for a long time before agreeing to his wife's request not to tell his daughter about his illness.

Just to earn money for medical treatment, he worked desperately on the construction site every day.

Because of this, his originally not very strong physique gradually went from bad to worse.

Fortunately, after working hard, the wages I get increase day by day, and it is not bad to accumulate them.

Although Feiye City under the Hong family's rule is strict, it is much fairer than before.

"That's it... Hurry up and get the disease cured, and everything will return to the original state..." This is Wei Tang's hope.

……

……

……

From the perspective of caravans who often run this route, there are three options for the return route from Taizhou to Yunzhou.

One, it is the same as when Wei He came here before, and he has to pass through the place where the Cangjian Gorge is like a flock of birds.

Second, it is another waterway. Take a boat through the Jinghe River and float all the way down to the Baihe River, the main trunk of the Jinghe River. Along the Baihe River, you can go directly to the territory of Yunzhou.

The third is to take another road that is safer but takes longer, and that is the official road.That is to say, there are Chidao of Luyi Station along the way.

For the benefit of the caravan, it is natural to find the shortest route, which is the choice of Cangjian Gorge.

But it is different from Wei He's understanding. When they reach Cangjian Gorge, they will have another shortcut and turn to Yunzhou.

Wei He planned to separate from the caravan at Zangjian Gorge. From there, the caravan would first go to Su City, then other cities, and Feiye City would take a long time.

He couldn't wait for them to be together.So it is bound to go alone halfway.

The long caravan team is moving fast on the official road.

The cows and horses pulling the goods kept speeding up under the urging of the whip.The carts of grain were covered with thick cloth and pressed against stones, and followed the carriage in front along the driveway.

Along the way, Wei He had nothing to do in his free time. Apart from practicing, he just chatted with Xiaochunzi, so he understood the current situation in Yunzhou.

"Speaking of Yunzhou, among the [-] cities, Yunzhou Mansion is naturally the most prosperous place, but when we passed by last time, we saw that the outside of the city was also in a depression. It is said that the previous year, the state shepherd was assassinated to death, and the famine As a result, many refugees gathered outside Fucheng. Then they were induced to cause chaos."

Xiaochunzi recalled what he saw at that time, and now he is also a little scared.

"You don't know. At that time, there were dead bodies all the way. We just followed the original road and left after staying in Fucheng for two days. We really didn't dare to stay any longer. We were afraid that those crazy hungry people would tear us apart. gone."

She sighed, "That was the first time I saw how much hunger can drive people. Here in Taizhou, although it is also chaotic and dangerous, it has never been such a miserable situation."

Wei He held a yellow gin in his hand, and while listening, he also recalled the scene when he was in Feiye City.

That was the case back then. Many people would do anything for a bite to eat.

"Since you are a caravan, have you ever heard of Hong Daoyuan from Feiye City?" He asked aloud.

"Hong Daoyuan? Oh? Are you talking about Master Hong Yuanqiang? That's a big shot, and ordinary people usually don't see it. Anyway, he is a very, very powerful big shot!" Xiao Chunzi didn't know how to describe it, but only knew how to use adjectives repeatedly.

"What about the Yonghe Escort Bureau? Have you heard of it?" Wei He asked again.

"No, I've heard of the Ford Escort Agency, which is the largest in Yunzhou." Xiao Chunzi shook his head.

"What about the Guan family? Is there a rich family in Yunzhou Prefecture with the surname Guan?" Wei Hezai re-established an overall impression of Yunzhou through Xiao Chunzi's description.

The reason why he chose to inquire from Xiaochunzi first is because this little girl is honest, not pompous, and doesn't like bragging.

Unlike the other men in the caravan, the cowhide is more ruthless than the other.

Of course, it is definitely not enough to just inquire about it from Xiaochunzi, Wei He also has some general information about Yunzhou collected by his disciples in advance.

It's just that the timeliness of these materials is too weak, so he needs to add some new details.

"The Guan family...the Guan family in Fucheng, I have indeed heard of it, a very rich family, and it is said that there are many big names in the clan, and they are also the most powerful in Fucheng." Xiao Chunzi replied.

Wei He's mind flashed the bold figure of Guan Yu at the beginning, and he didn't know if he could see his old friend this time when he went back.
