Chapter 25: Encounter in the Morning
The sky was light and Du Wenxing woke up in the yard.
He was so excited last night that he kept walking around the house. Later, he went back to the Land Temple. After returning, he continued walking around like crazy...
Finally, I was tired, so I simply lay down on a recliner in the yard and fell asleep in a drowsy way.
Fortunately, it is summer and the weather is hot, so sleeping outside the house at night is more comfortable.
I don’t know what dream he had at night, but he was lying down on the recliner, his chest feeling uncomfortable.
He stood up, moved for a while, recalling what had happened in the past few days: getting the system... doing good things... catching thieves... getting a gift book... being designed by the camel wolf to kill him... help Ma Han... being chased by Boss Niu and the goblin... crashed into the carriage... being kidnapped with the eldest lady of the Li family... escaping, reporting to the officials... chasing the bandits... These things are simply wonderful.
Be a hero?
Very good!
Du Wenxing took a deep breath and touched the hard thing in his arms. It was a book he gave him after he helped Mr. Qian grab the things back.
This was taken from the Land Temple last night.
If only the martial arts secrets were made, he thought to himself.
Now that this young master is rich, maybe he can ask the old sorcerer who set up a stall in front of Daming Temple to read it to me...
Donglai Inn, in the yard.
Zi Donglai was practicing qigong. After sweating profusely, he finally felt a little depressed.
He was confused by the traces left by the bandits yesterday and ran for nothing. He only heard about the incident after he came back.
Although many people were arrested, unfortunately, they ran away for the main owner.
He suspected that the cloaked man who escaped was the Blood Bat Demon.
But the strength is a bit wrong. Could it be because of the injury?
The blood bat demon still escaped under the siege of their East China Martial Artsmen. Even if he was injured by himself, his strength shouldn't be so much worse?
I was a little confused.
Zi Donglai picked up a towel and wiped his body. He decided to go to the prison to check it out, and perhaps he could ask any useful information from the arrested bandits.
...
"What?! Everyone is dead, what are you doing for?"
Wei Yiqing slapped the table with a "bang" palm, his face full of anger.
The prison head below knelt straight, sweating profusely, but he didn't dare to move for a moment.
The serious criminal who was arrested yesterday died today and was killed by someone. The responsibility on him was too great, and a crime of dereliction of duty cannot be escaped.
Now I just hope to find the murderer so that I can reduce the accountability.
"Sir, my subordinates checked the room at the end of the Yin hour. Those people were living well. The murderer must have acted after this, and he must have not yet run away."
"Is that right?" Wei Yiqing sneered, "I'll ask you, you said that the doors and windows in the prison are intact, how did the murderer come in?"
"This... the villain doesn't know."
"Hmph, maybe you are hooking up with foreign thieves."
"I'm wronged, sir!" The prison head was shocked.
Wei Yiqing narrowed his eyes and looked at the kneeling prison head below. Seeing that it was not a fake, he slowly said: "Okay, get up, follow me to the prison to take a look."
...
"Well, was it the boy yesterday?"
Zi Dong came to the prison and saw a boy walking towards the river with a large wooden basin full of clothes on the road, chatting and laughing with a middle-aged woman in flower clothes.
This young man is Du Wenxing.
Isn’t this just getting up early to do good deeds?
"Boy!"
Du Wenxing turned his head and looked at him. Seeing Zi Donglai walking towards him, he hugged the wooden basin and laughed, "Hi, senior, it's so early!"
The boy's smile seemed extremely innocent in the morning light, and his voice was clear and refreshing. Zi Donglai paused and then laughed.
Funny boy!
"Boy, you're early."
Zi Donglai's originally gloomy face also stretched out.
"You are..."
He looked at the wooden tub in Du Wenxing's hand.
"Oh, this aunt gets up early to do laundry, and I happen to be idle, so I can help the aunt move the wooden basin." Du Wenxing didn't feel embarrassed or embarrassed at all.
Of course, this aunt provided him with a lot of chivalrous values along the way.
Du Wenxing said that such an aunt is so cute!
"Senior, where are you?" Du Wenxing asked casually.
"Well, go to the prison to see the bandits arrested yesterday, and see if you can take out something from them."
Du Wenxing's heart moved, "Senior, can you take me with you?"
He remembered that he had revealed the true face of the Blood Bat Demon, and the two tasks of killing the Blood Bat Demon with his own hands were not completed.
Zi Donglai laughed: "Yes."
"Senior, wait a moment, I will help this aunt move the wooden basin to the river." After that, he hurriedly ran towards the river.
After Zi Dong spoke, the aunt stood aside without saying a word. Zi Dong came out of luxurious clothes and the powerful and powerful spirit that made this ordinary housewife feel a little angry.
Fortunately, this emotion did not interfere with her gratitude to Du Wenxing, and the provision of chivalrous values did not stop, but instead increased.
It turned out that this aunt thought that this enthusiastic boy did not expect to know such a big man.
When she thought that she could meet such a big man, it was obvious that this young man had an extraordinary identity. Although he looked inconspicuous in dressing, it might be someone else’s hobby. So don’t the storytelling often say “private visits on a mini-court”?
But such a person was able to put down his figure and help him move the wooden basin, which made the aunt feel flattered, so the chivalrous value naturally went up.
Zi Dong came to wait in place, and was quite surprised. Such boys are rare now.
Most young people are uncertain and like to play and make fun of each other, especially wild children like this guy who are big on the street, mostly have their own personalities, tough, insidious, or cunning, and few are so kind-hearted.
It's an outlier.
Seeing the boy coming, Zi Donglai let go of his mood and felt quite fond of him. He couldn't help but ask, "Boy, do you have any relatives in this Taizhou City?"
Du Wenxing smiled and said, "Since I can remember, I have never known what my relatives are. I have been raised by nature and grown up with hundreds of families. If you really want to tell me whether there are relatives, God is my father, this earth is my mother, and I am a lonely duckweed in that world, hahaha."
He was obviously just a small person, but these words were extremely heroic.
Good boy!
These words were quite a taste for Zi Donglai's appetite, and he couldn't help but quip: "Then you boy have become the emperor?" There was no awe of the emperor in his words.
Du Wenxing didn't care, "So what the emperor is, the emperor calls me, I also call me!"
Chapter completed!
