Nongmen Shenjue

In the early morning of the next day, after breakfast, we set off for Yunhu Town.

From a distance, you can see large and small lotus ponds connected together. Some of the lotus ponds have intact lotus leaves, and some of the lotus ponds have been hollowed out.In the local lotus ponds, usually after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the lotus root will be dug, intermittently, and can be dug until the end of October.After all, the lotus root doesn’t move. Putting it in the mud of the lotus pond is the best way to keep it fresh. The closer it is to digging out during the Chinese New Year, the better it will be sold at a higher price, but the person who digs the lotus root will suffer more.

The weather is fine these days, and some people are digging lotus roots in the lotus pond.

The houses in the town are basically built of wood with stone as the foundation. The main street is paved with neat stone roads, surrounded by lotus ponds and rice fields, with a simple and simple charm.No one needs to be introduced, as long as you look up to the foot of the mountain on the left side of the town, the spacious and magnificent mansion is particularly conspicuous, it must be Yunjiazhuang.There is a big lotus pond between Yunjiazhuang and the town, if you take a boat directly, it is close, if you want to walk, you have to walk a big circle around the road by the mountain.

A carriage suddenly came to the town, which was very eye-catching.

Mu Qingyan and the others had made preparations earlier, without concealment, they arrived in the town frankly, and found a vacant small courtyard to live in.There are generally no outsiders in the town, and there are no serious inns, but quite a few people will rent out their houses, and they will pay some fees for staying overnight.

The three of them are unwilling to sleep in other people's beds, who knows if the bedding is clean, they might as well spend more money to find a clean place.Sure enough, they were generous, so someone vacated a few rooms in the backyard of their house, prepared brand new bedding, pillows and other things, and locked the door of the front yard, so they went in and out directly from the back door, which was private and convenient.

The family name is Cao, and there are two sons in the family. The younger son's family lived in the backyard. Because the younger son found an errand in the county, the family moved to the county, so the house was vacated.In the past, sundries were placed in the house, and occasionally a relative, a stranger or something, would live there.

Mrs. Cao led the eldest daughter-in-law to clean up the inside and outside of the house.

"Young masters, do you prepare the daily meals yourself, or..." Mrs. Cao asked.

"Don't bother." Although the town is small, there are still places to eat, and it is easy to eat simple meals in small restaurants.As for other things, he saw that there was a stove in the backyard, and it was convenient to set up a small pot to cook some porridge and stir-fry small dishes.

If you eat it with the Cao family, it will inevitably be unappetizing.

Anyway, they didn't plan to do anything when they came back to Yunhu Town.

Huo Peng, Zhu Yi, and even Wen Mingyu all came here secretly, and the townspeople didn't know anyone was coming, and they thought Mu Qingyan and the others were the only foreigners.

With the appearance of the four of Mu Qingyan, if there is really a problem with the Yun Family Manor, they will definitely keep an eye on them.In this way, it can be regarded as a cover for Wen Mingyu and others, they don't have to do anything, just pretend to be ordinary tourists, just eat, drink and have fun.

After settling down, the four of them went out to find a place to eat.

There is a restaurant at the east end of the town, and his house is on the far side, facing the lotus pond, so he built a shed against the wall of the house, built a stove, cleaned it up a little, and set up a few rough wooden tables and chairs. small business.Sit here to eat, enjoy the lotus, and have a wide view.

"This lotus pond belongs to my family. There are many lotus seeds this year, and the lotus root is also crispy and sweet. How many young masters should try it?" The store warmly recommended.

There were no customers in the restaurant, just the four of them.

The lotus pond referred to by the shopkeeper is not that big, only two times the size of the land.The lotus ponds next to the town are small, and the ridges of the ponds are narrow, as if separated by a large pond.On the contrary, there is a big lotus pond in the distance, and there are two small boats floating in it, picking up the remaining lotus pods, occasionally there is laughter, it is the voice of a young woman.

The lotus pond over there is owned by the Yun Family Manor, so it is presumed that the girls on board are the Yun Family's girls.

"Choose what you are good at and make a few." Small places can't be too picky.

"Would you like to drink? There is homemade rice wine."

"Let's have a taste." Chen Shiliu drank the local rice wine in the county town and thought it tasted good.

Mu Qingyan looked at the lotus pond, the distance was too far, even with supernatural powers he couldn't touch the position of the boat.

The dishes in the rice shop are very homely, and they don't pay attention to the presentation, but they are very affordable and taste good.The rice wine made by this family is sweet and has a very light taste. Wen Jixue doesn't like to drink it, but Mu Qingyan has always been a light drinker. This rice wine is not a problem. He actually drank two bowls while eating vegetables and drinking rice wine.

In the afternoon, a few people dutifully became tourists and wandered around the town.I also saw people digging lotus roots, and bought a few lotus roots just out of the mud, and bought two catties of glutinous rice from the Cao family.

After dinner, there is nothing to do.

Chen Shiliu was crying out for being bored, and talking about various speculations about Yunjiazhuang, when Jiao Li stood up suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Chen Shiliu couldn't help being surprised when he saw that Ji Xue and Mu Qingyan were both sitting safely.

"Your cousin is here." Mu Qingyan said with a smile.

As soon as the words came out, Wen Mingyu appeared in the courtyard.

Chen Shiliu's eyes widened: "Brother Mu, how can you predict the future?"

Of course, Chen Shiliu would not be so naive, but it was true that Mu Qingyan predicted things like a god.

Mu Qingyan smiled and didn't answer him.

Wen Mingyu came in, while Jiao Li went out.

Even if there must be someone from the God Detective Division on guard in the dark, Jiao Li will not relax because of this.

Before Wen Mingyu could sit down, Chen Shiliu couldn't wait to ask: "Cousin, what happened to Yunjiazhuang? Is there any problem? Where are Huo Peng's gang?"

Chen Shiliu estimated that according to the news, Huo Peng had gathered quite a few people who wanted to take revenge, and even a few righteous people who wanted to eradicate evil in the rivers and lakes to help.But since coming to Yunhu Town, the water has been calm, and there is no trace of it. I don't know where those people are hiding, can't they eat or drink?

"Sit peacefully!" Wen Mingyu has been traveling outside for several months in order to find a seal, and this half month has been especially hard, probably because he hasn't had a good rest, and his complexion is not very good at the moment.He took it for granted that he came here because he had something to say, and he was not in the mood to deal with Chen Shiliu.

Chen Shiliu shrank his neck and remained silent, fearing that Wen Mingyu would get angry and pack him up and send him back.

Mu Qingyan poured tea for Wen Mingyu.

Wen Mingyu waved his hands and said with a smile: "Tea is fine, if it's convenient, you can make a bowl of hot food, whatever you want."

They didn't dare to show their faces in the town, and they hid and watched in secret. Naturally, they didn't dare to start a fire at will, and they mainly used dry food and cold water.Although I often went abroad to investigate cases before, but there were not many times when I suffered so much.

At night, there is no food to be found in the town.

Although Yunhu Town is relatively wealthy, it is closed and there are few foreigners. People from the surrounding villages will return home before dark when they come to the town, so the food shops are closed early.If you deliberately knock on the door, it will attract too much attention.

"Some glutinous rice." Mu Qingyan got up and went to the kitchen, carrying Chen Shiliu to light the fire.

Wen Mingyu didn't wait, and directly talked to Wen Jixue about the Yunjiazhuang.

Chen Shiliu wanted to hear it, but he couldn't, but Mu Qingyan didn't hinder him. He listened to the latest situation while washing rice and steaming rice.

"Huo Peng and his party arrived at Yunhu Town on the third day of September. They were divided into three groups and arrived at night. Some of them used to inquire about the news. They first found out the situation of Yunjiazhuang. The Yun Family Manor was under surveillance. The reason why he hadn't done anything for so long was because he hadn't found any traces of Mrs. She, but the Yun Family Manor was not normal, and there were violations everywhere.

It seems that Master Yun is in charge of the Yun Family Manor, but in fact, the upper and lower ranks are more in awe of Mrs. Yun.There are so many girls in the Yun family, and there is only one male, so they should be pampered, but in the Yun family, Yun Baosheng is just a young master.At first glance, it's not obvious, but after careful consideration of people's attitudes, it can be seen that any Miss Biao is valued more than Master Yun.

The girls of the Yun family have to study every day. In the morning, they are in Mrs. Yun's courtyard. They don't know what to study, but in the afternoon, they learn their own skills.However, from top to bottom in Yunjiazhuang, everyone knows martial arts, especially those girls, their steps are light and their lightness kung fu is not bad. "

To be able to get a "not bad" evaluation from Wen Mingyu's mouth, at least he is in the top class. How can it be okay in an environment like Yunjiazhuang?

"Miss She is good at disguise, how do you know that she is not someone from Yunjiazhuang?" Wen Jixue speculated reasonably.

Wen Mingyu smiled and said: "Huo Peng and others are cautious, but looking at them, they can't help it anymore, and they are about to throw stones to ask for directions."

Someone stood in front of him, so Wen Mingyu was naturally not in a hurry.

Of course, the more important thing is: "No Zhu Yi was found."

Both Zhu Yi and Feng Ting are superior to him in terms of both internal and light skills. He followed Huo Peng's trail to find him, but if Zhu Yi Feng Ting didn't show up on his own initiative, he would have no way of noticing.But now he expected that the two of them would also be attracted by Yunjiazhuang, so he felt that Zhu Yi was waiting if he didn't show up, so naturally he couldn't be anxious.

He couldn't find Zhu Yi, but Zhu Yi must have found him.

Under the nose of the other party, it is better not to act rashly.

He took the initiative to disclose the news to Wen Jixue, which was both a cooperation and a good sale.If it is said that it is against Zhu Yi, apart from being banned, it is Wen Jixue.In front of Wen Jixue, there is no need to worry too much about what to say, Zhu Yi dare not approach.

Wen Jixue guessed a little about this, so there is no need to worry about it.

"Since Yunjiazhuang understands martial arts, didn't you find out that Huo Peng and others were spying on you?" Wen Jixue sneered.

Huo Peng is indeed well-known in the Jianghu, and his martial arts is indeed not weak, but he is old, and it is impossible to follow up and find out the news in person.The minds of those who came with them were not the same, their martial arts were of different levels, and they may not all be cautious in their actions. Yunjiazhuang hired so many guards and always paid attention to defense. There were so many people watching secretly. Oh, can you really not notice?

It can be seen that both sides adhere to the principle of "the enemy does not move, I do not move", and now it is Huo Peng and others who can't bear it first.

As for throwing stones to ask the way, what better stone to ask than the "green clothes".

There was a burst of aroma from the kitchen, and it was the question of burning pork ribs.

Mu Qingyan steamed the glutinous rice, braised the pork ribs in brown sauce, added some diced lotus root and mixed with the glutinous rice, put it back on the drawer and steamed for 5 minutes, and made the pork ribs glutinous rice.It was originally intended to be eaten tomorrow, but Wen Mingyu asked for a hot meal, and there was nothing else in the kitchen, so he made it for him.

Chen Shiliu smelled the fragrance and added another bowl.

Mu Qingyan ate half a bowl, filled a bowl for Wen Jixue, and filled Wen Mingyu's soup bowl with a big soup bowl.There was still something left in the pot. He steamed two catties of glutinous rice, and added pork ribs and diced lotus root, which was quite a lot.He greeted Jiao Li, if Jiao Li was hungry, the rest would be enough to fill his stomach.

"Sparer ribs and glutinous rice? Mr. Mu is a good cook, and he's tired." Wen Mingyu thanked him, and started to eat right away, regardless of the image damage caused by holding a big soup bowl.

The glutinous rice is a bit greasy after eating too much, and the soup is not boiled, so the tea is good.

Wen Mingyu also practiced, eating quickly and gracefully, and then did not linger.

Before leaving, he said: "If there is no movement tonight, it will be tomorrow. Huo Peng and the others will not be able to endure it. Huo Peng is also afraid of waiting too long, and everyone will lose their minds."
