Liu'er noticed that it was already late and thought, "I wonder if Gongsun Mu is as fair and square as Shopkeeper Duan. However, judging from his actions, he should be a vile villain." At this time of night, if I rashly rush over, I might be at a disadvantage. Since we have already found them, and are not afraid of them running away, we should find a place to rest for the night and come back tomorrow. " Thinking about this, he said, "I will be very sleepy at night. I need to sleep well. I'll come again to see Manager Duan tomorrow. As he spoke, he picked up the black blade and left. Duan Wucun didn't stop them and watched as Liu'er walked away before returning to the Bu Zhuang Manor.
Liu'er walked in the town, wondering where she would go for the night. He wanted to go to Gongsun Residence to find out what was going on, but after causing trouble for the entire day, they must have made preparations. Duan Wucun looked calm and collected, but he was in the same group as Gongsun Mu, so he would definitely go to Gongsun Mu to discuss how to deal with him. When had his Gongsun family ever suffered such humiliation? He might search for his whereabouts in the middle of the night. Not only was staying in the town unsafe, but it also made things inconvenient for the villagers. I might as well hide outside the town.
When he thought of the outside of the town, he suddenly thought of Mrs. Chen's home. Liu'er thought for a while and thought, "After teaching Hu Sanudao and the rest a lesson in the day, they are not straightforward men. If I were to vent my anger on Grandma Chen, wouldn't I harm her instead?" He regretted that he didn't think about it earlier. If Old Lady Chen was beaten to death by those people, wouldn't it be her own fault? Ye Zichen thought about what Hu Sando said and ran towards the southeast.
White Pond Town wasn't really a big town, so Liu'er's footsteps were swift. Soon, they arrived outside the town. After walking forward for another kilometer or so, he saw a grass hut there. The interior of the house was dark and devoid of any light. Liu'er was shocked, "Could it be that there is no one at home?" Why didn't you light the lamp? Could it be that Grandma Chen has already been killed by someone? " Thinking of this, he began to sweat profusely. Before he even got to the front of the house, he suddenly heard Grandma Chen shouting, "Master Gongsun! My son did not steal the old master's gold bracelet! " When Liu'er heard this, her heart trembled. "Could it be that Gongsun Mu is also here?"
Liu'er took advantage of the starlight to slip under the grass hut's walls. She sneaked to the window, held her breath, and listened attentively. There was only Grandma Chen's messy footsteps in the room, and no one else. Just as Liu'er was hesitating, Grandma Chen said, "If you don't believe me, look! My house's waiter is naked, there's nothing here! "Stupid waiter, turn around and let Master Gongsun have a look!" Hearing that, Liu'er gradually understood. "So she was the one who was fooling around and missed her own son, so she told me about what happened that day." He then recalled that there was no light in the room. It was because Grandma Chen was crazy and did not know how to light the lamp.
Liu'er sighed and finally calmed down. Thinking of this, "She is so noisy, I wonder if I can sleep tonight." However, she was also afraid that others would make things difficult for her. Even if she did not sleep, she would guard this place and ensure her safety.
Just as Liu'er was about to speak, Old Lady Chen suddenly cried loudly: "Master Gongsun! Fast! Dogman's biting! Take him away! "AHH!" The sound was miserable, like the wails of a hundred ghosts in the wilderness. As Liu'er heard the screams in the room, she knew that at this moment, she was thinking about how the hound would bite her son. Suddenly, her heart felt clogged up, as if something had grabbed her, causing her extreme discomfort. "He didn't want to hear any more of it, but that miserable howl seemed to have grown legs as it ran into his ears.
Liu'er was hiding in a corner, her eyes blurry with tears. His right hand tightly gripped the black blade, wishing that it could behead all the villains in the world. His left hand held onto the gown Duan Wucun had made for him, and his eyes were filled with determination. He thought that there would be a fierce battle tomorrow. Whether he won or lost, he couldn't let those evildoers underestimate him. He suddenly stood up and opened his gown, wanting to change out of it. Then he thought, "I'm covered in filth and dirt. Even if I wear beautiful clothes, how can others not see through it?" "He then looked around and found that not far from him, there was a flash of silver light as if there was water flowing.
Liu'er's heart was heavy, and she didn't want to listen to Grandma Chen's wails anymore. He saw that the location of the flash was not far away. He thought that if anyone tried to make things difficult for Grandma Chen, he would be there in the blink of an eye. He hefted the black blade and continued his search. As expected, he didn't walk too far, there was a bay.
The bay was not very large, only three Zhang wide and square. There was no source of water and it was a dead water bay. The water in the bay was not dry or clean, and there was no rancid smell. It must have rained some rain in the past few days and washed once. Green algae were floating in the middle of the area. The green algae were floating in the air. There was also a long rod placed on the shore, and beside it was a wooden bucket. Around the barrel were some green algae, which must have been left behind by the green algae in the fishing bay.
Liu'er looked at the bay and thought, "It looks like someone is taking care of it. It should be someone else's pond." After searching around, he realized that there was no one else around and thought, "So this is Grandma Chen's pond." Grandma Chen has already gone mad, so naturally, no one will care about this place anymore. " With a sigh, he picked up the long stick from the ground, picked up the wooden bucket on one side and the other, and started fishing for algae on the shore.
In the Dead Water Bay, summer always liked to produce some green algae, so the villagers fished out the algae and fed the pigs. Although Liu'er had never fished them out personally, she had seen many of them when she was a beggar. Now that he had made his move, he started to learn from Zhang Xuan. In just a short moment, he had scooped up all of the green algae in the pool. Liu'er saw that the water in the bay wasn't dirty and didn't smell bad, so she took a look around. Seeing that no one was around, she tore off her tattered clothes and jumped into the pool.
Daylight was scorching and warming the waters of the bay. After Liu'er went into the water, she felt extremely comfortable. She took a deep breath, buried her head in the water and began to wash her body. His body was sticky and uncomfortable all day. Now that he was in the water, he felt much more relaxed, as if the two mountains he had carried on his shoulders had been removed. It was an indescribably comfortable feeling.
Liu'er stood in the water, laughing in her heart, "No wonder Xiao Lan kept calling me little sloppy, I'm really sloppy. During this month, countless mountains and rivers have passed, but I just can't bear to take a bath. " He lightly swam to the shore and half lay in the water. Looking at the sky full of stars, he heaved a long sigh of relief.
He had never felt so relaxed before.
Liu'er looked at White Pond Town, which was not far away, and saw sparks of fire. Occasionally, she could hear some chatting and laughter. She didn't understand why there was such injustice in such a small town. He also could not understand why people would want to harm people's lives for their own self-interest.
Liu'er was in the midst of contemplating when something flashed in her eyes. There seemed to be two shadows not too far away. Liu'er immediately became alert. Her nerves immediately burst as she thought to herself, "Could it be that they found me hiding here?" Or is there really someone who came to cause trouble for Grandma Chen? " A carp leapt out of the water, feet tapping lightly on the water, and floated to the shore. His left hand picked up his robe, and he put it on.
His movements were extremely quick and nimble. Even when he was dressed in his clothes, he did not make a single sound. Liu'er bent down and took a closer look, only to see that the two shadows were hiding not far away from Grandma Chen's house. They had stopped moving.
