Zhou Zhen.
Among the 3588 towns and villages in Chuanping District, it is a very common town. Because the most residents in the town are surnamed Zhou, it is named after it. I don''t know how many such humble towns there are in the whole continent.
As night fell, there was no lively nightlife in the ordinary town. Most people who have worked hard for a day have turned off their lights for rest at this time. The whole town is immersed in darkness and tranquility. Occasionally, guards on patrol walk through the streets, which is very perfunctory. No one knew that a line of four quietly arrived in the town at this time.
"This way." Maureen led the way in front of him, and the other three followed him. They were all inexplicable. This is different from their established plan to avoid the crowd at the beginning. Maureen has always been the most supportive of this scheme, but now he is the one who leads the way and violates the scheme.
He led the three people around two streets. Maureen got into an alley. After repeated confirmation, Maureen stopped in front of a door and waved to the three people who stopped at the entrance of the alley.
The three walked forward, and Maureen had knocked on the door.
Bang Bang
The sound was almost inaudible, but there was a movement in the door immediately. Hearing as sharp as Lu Ping, I immediately heard a burst of complaints.
The door opened quickly. Inside stood a young man who looked a few years older than Lu Ping, holding a candle and looking cold at the people outside the door.
"Stop standing and come in!" Maureen seemed to be in his own house, pushed the door open and greeted the three people to enter. The young man gave way, but he just held up the lamp and was silent. When all three of them came in, they immediately closed the door again and bolted the door.
"This is..." the three looked at the young man and waited for Maureen to introduce him.
"My cousin." Maureen said.
"Distant." The young man finally opened his mouth, but pushed the intimacy expressed by Maureen as far as possible.
"Hey." Maureen smiled and sat down at the table.
"Sit down." He greeted the other three. As they looked at the room, they sat around the table.
The dining table is very small. After four people put their arms on the table, there is not much room. The room is also very small. When four people come in and sit around here, they don''t have much space left.
At this time, the young man had gone to the inner room with a candle. Unexpectedly, he really brought out a basin of rice and put it in the middle of the table. The rice was mixed with soup, and a little vegetable leaves could be seen vaguely. From the living conditions to the food, we can see that the young man''s life is not rich, even a little poor.
But Maureen had knocked on the rice basin and shouted, "it''s cold. Don''t you heat it?"
"There is no firewood at home." Said the young man.
Maureen looked at the three in front of him and finally sighed. Some practitioners have the ability to make fire and hot food with their hands open. But none of them had such means, which made Maureen sad.
"Make do with it?" He asked for the advice of three people.
What can the three say? In the evening, although the birds were roasted, they were not big enough. It was only a drop in the bucket to eat all of them. Almost before they got out of the forest, someone began to cry. At present, although this bibimbap is simple, it is much better than none. These three are not particular people, so they all nodded.
"Dishes and chopsticks." Cried Maureen.
"Just one." The young man said, and finally added, "it hasn''t been washed yet."
"Lazy!" Maureen cried bitterly, "do you know why you are so poor? One word, lazy! "
When he was run into the job, the young man didn''t seem to want to drive the four out. He put the candle back at the head of the bed and took off his shoes and sat on the bed. In this small room, there are serious seats next to the dining table. In the inner room, there is a kitchen. When it comes out, there is only a bed left to sit.
"Do you wash the dishes and chopsticks in turn, or just grab them?" Maureen began to solicit the opinions of the three people again.
The three continued their style of not paying attention to, how to save trouble and how to come, and immediately started to grab food.
I don''t know how many meals this pot of rice was for the young people. In short, it was quickly taken out by the four people. Maureen flicked his fingers. The other three knew gratitude and looked at the young man with gratitude.
"Thank you." Lu Ping said.
The young man ignored it. After the four finished eating, he came down from bed again, picked up the rice basin and sent it to the inner room. When he came out again, he didn''t sit on the table immediately, but stood by the table and looked at the four people.
"It''s not urgent. This time it''s not just a meal. Maybe I''d like to borrow it." Said Maureen.
The other three just followed Maureen and came here. Only then did they know that he had such a foothold in this town and that he planned to take refuge here. But the young man looked very indifferent, which was inconsistent with the extreme trust given by Maureen. Even if they are relatives, the "distant house" added by the young man is obviously alienating this relationship.
"The room is so big that there is no place to live." Said the young man.
"I''m not afraid. It''s OK to sit here all night." Maureen said.
"Too much." Said the young man.
"How are you?" Maureen said.
The atmosphere was extremely awkward for a moment. Lu Ping can bear what people can''t bear, but he doesn''t have the problem of forcing people to be difficult. Seeing that the young people don''t want to, he wants to ask everyone to leave, but he is blocked by Maureen.
"This is the case now." Maureen said, "obviously someone has found our whereabouts, but you don''t perceive any abnormalities either before or after the river, do you?"
"Yes." Lu Ping nodded.
"With my trust in your perception, I boldly conclude that the other party is only vaguely aware of us, but does not know our clear whereabouts. By the river, they may want to lock us further, but unfortunately, they stopped immediately after you noticed. " Maureen said.
Lu Ping nodded.
"So what will they do next? I think they will infer our actions and preset an ambush. So at this time, it is very necessary for us to adjust the original plan and change the rhythm. " Said Maureen.
"So we came to town, so we''re going to have a rest here." Lu Ping said
"Yes." Maureen said.
"But that''s not the key." Lu Ping said.
"What''s the key?" Maureen was at a loss.
"The key is that this is the big brother''s home, and the big brother doesn''t want to." Lu Ping said.
"You think so. To tell you the truth, the whole world should be moved for you." Said Maureen. And this is not pure nonsense. Maureen considered Lu Ping as the starting point. In this way, the peerless strong man standing at the peak will consider such ordinary problems and really compete with most people. Not to mention that Lu Ping, a top power, is a low-level and ordinary practitioner. How many people will consider the wishes of an ordinary person like this?
"To tell you the truth, are you moved?" Maureen turned to his distant cousin.
Cousin Yuanfang didn''t speak, and his attitude didn''t change because of the conversation between Maureen and Lu Ping.
"It seems that you are not moved." Maureen sighed, "but you can''t really refuse my request. Mo''s family motto: if one side is in trouble, all sides support. So although we don''t know each other''s names, I know you are Mo''s family and you know I am Mo''s family. That''s enough. "
The three were surprised. With these two, they don''t even know each other''s names. Just because they belong to the Mo family and only because of a family motto, can they make this degree of trust?
Mo family, in the world of this family, it doesn''t seem remarkable, but this family motto sounds unusual. It seems to be the way for vulnerable families to survive, but it seems that there are other meanings in it.
The three had no time to ponder carefully, and Maureen''s distant cousin had opened his mouth at this time.
"Maureen, I know your name." He said.
"I''m very popular in Xuanjun Empire now?" Maureen said.
"No, he''s red." Distant cousin looked at Lu Ping.
"Do you recognize him?" Maureen was surprised.
"There''s a picture on the bulletin board in town." Distant cousin said.
"The same wanted, the same portrait, why is he more popular?" Maureen road. Although he knows it should be, ordinary people seem to have no reason to know so many details, right?
"His reward is much higher than yours." Distant cousin said.
"OK..." it turned out that the Xuanjun Empire had clearly priced several people, and the position was clear at a glance.
"What about these two?" Maureen asked Fang Yizhu and Ling Ziyan.
"No." Distant cousin said.
"So, what are you going to do now?" Maureen said, but one hand had been put into his arms.
Mo family motto: if one side is in trouble, all sides support. However, if the Mo family refuses to lend a helping hand when their family is in trouble, there is another family instruction on how to deal with it.
So Maureen is waiting. If the distant cousin refuses, he will be the one who needs to carry out family instructions.
"You''re in trouble now, I''ll help you; You''ve helped me by leaving quickly. You shouldn''t refuse. " Said the distant cousin.
"This logic..." Maureen frowned, then looked at Fang Yi''s note, "you analyze it for him."
"Oh?" The named Fang Yizhu was slightly surprised, but soon cleared his throat and said, "this is a cause and effect problem. Everything has a cause before it has a result. Here, Maureen is in trouble because you should help him as much as possible. Although this fruit may lead to new causes, that is, you will have difficulties as expressed in your words, but the new cause will have new fruits, and then the fruit will regenerate the cause, and the cause will bear fruit. Isn''t this endless? So we can''t use such logic to deal with this problem. We need to trace the origin, find the original cause and the result caused by this cause, that is, you should try your best to help Maureen, and then stop. As for the subsequent events, it needs to establish a new and separate cause and effect, which should not be discussed here. After all, everything has not been established. Do you understand when I say this? "
Fang Yi''s remark stunned everyone. The room was quiet for about five seconds. Maureen touched his right hand, stretched it out, and slapped his left palm. "It''s wonderful. It''s worthy of having been on the top four. It''s remarkable."
"Laugh." Fang Yizhu owes himself.
Mo''s distant cousin was silent. After a long silence, he took off his shoes and went to bed and fell asleep.
