The wonderful world of fast time travel

Chapter 141

One day Zheng Ling came to the flower field in the backyard of the villa, and saw an old man in his sixties bowing his body and carrying a load, with two buckets hanging one behind the other. less out.Zheng Ling quickly ran over to take the old man's burden, put it on his shoulders, and said loudly, "Uncle Chu, I'll help you."

The old man lightened his shoulders, turned his head to look at Zheng Ling, smiled inarticulately and said, "He Yuan, you're delivering things for others again!" He raised his hand and hammered his shoulder.

"En." Zheng Ling nodded, carrying the load along the ridge of the field, walked into the flower field, untied the water ladle tied to the bucket, and spontaneously scooped water to water the flowers.

Chu Bo squinted his eyes with a smile, picked up the scissors and started pruning the branches and leaves.

It wasn't until the sun was setting that Zheng Ling was done. Uncle Chu had already cooled a pot of tea, poured it into a bowl, and handed it to Zheng Ling.

Zheng Ling took it in one gulp and drained it. Uncle Chu picked up the kettle and added another bowl for him. This time Zheng Ling just held the bowl, sat on the stool, and sipped in small sips.

Seeing this, Uncle Chu also sat aside and said, "You have persisted in practicing martial arts for eight years, so you shouldn't just give up halfway."

Zheng Ling looked down at his toes, and said with a smile: "No master is willing to teach me. If I just practice blindly, I can't do anything well."

"This is not like what you said. A few days ago, you must have met someone or something that suddenly changed your attitude towards martial arts."

Zheng Ling smiled innocently: "Uncle Chu still understands me. In fact, a few days ago, I met a man in black." He said the second half of the sentence in a low voice, for fear that a third person would hear it.

Upon hearing this, Chu Bo hurriedly asked with concern: "Is it not hurt?" He looked up and down while talking.

Zheng Ling hurriedly said: "At that time, the man in black tightly pinched my neck and asked me if I knew there was a man with a pale face and the surname Zhao in the villa."

Uncle Chu was not interested in this, and said: "Then how did you escape? Did the master guards of the villa know that someone broke in?"

Zheng Ling nodded: "They know that the master scared the man in black away with just one move."

Only then did Uncle Chu heave a sigh of relief, and said, "I didn't expect someone to be so courageous as to venture into Wuming Villa at night."

"Who said it wasn't?" Zheng Ling also admired that man's courage.

Unknowingly, Zheng Ling finished his second bowl of tea, and seeing Uncle Chu raise the kettle again, Zheng Ling wiped his mouth hurriedly, stood up and said, "Uncle Chu, that's enough, I have to eat on an empty stomach." dinner."

Hearing this, Chu Bo put down the kettle, stood up, and urged: "Then you go back quickly, don't have anything to eat again."

Zheng Ling said "Hey", put down the bowl, waved at him, and then ran away quickly.

Uncle Chu stood there shaking his head and laughing. After a while, he hobbled into the house with a bowl in one hand and a kettle in the other.

The next afternoon, after Zheng Ling finished his work, he went to the flower field to help Chu Bo water the flowers when he had time. Before leaving in the evening, he made an appointment with Chu Bo to come back tomorrow.

On the third day, Zheng Ling came.In the past, every time he came, Uncle Chu was either carrying water to water the flowers, or pruning the branches and leaves, but this time, Zheng Ling went back and forth to search the flower fields, but Uncle Chu was nowhere to be seen.

So Zheng Ling came outside the cabin and yelled several times into the room, but no one answered for a long time, Zheng Ling frowned, raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Uncle Chu, are you there? I'm coming in." After saying that, Zheng Ling pushed open the door, and the wooden door creaked.

Standing at the door, Zheng Ling saw all the furnishings in the house at a glance. The quilt on the wooden bed was neatly folded, and the sheets were not wrinkled.Zheng Ling hesitated for a while, then walked to the table next to the window on his left, touched the kettle on it, but it was not warm at all.

Did Uncle Chu get called away temporarily?After thinking about it, Zheng Ling walked out of the house, fetched two buckets of water to pick them up, and went to the flower field to water the flowers. When he untied the water ladle, Zheng Ling found that there were words on it, which he couldn't see clearly. Make a rough idea: "Is there a book in the kettle?"

Jin Fenghuang asked: "Could it be possible that the kettle mentioned above is the one you touched just now?"

Zheng Ling recalled carefully that Uncle Chu probably didn't have a second kettle here, so he followed the prompts and went into the house again, opened the lid of the kettle, and saw that there was indeed something inside, wrapped tightly with blue coarse cloth.

Zheng Ling looked at the table again, then took it out, opened it, and on the cover of the book there were two words written in regular script - sword manual, and there was a letter in the book, Zheng Ling took out the letter: "He Yuan kisses you?"

"Written for me?" Zheng Ling muttered, opened the envelope and opened it, and said silently in his heart: Thanks to your care for many years, this "Sword Manual" is a thank you gift, please accept it——Chu Bo.

Jin Fenghuang said happily: "Zheng Ling, this book is actually the Lu family's sword manual that has been famous for a long time in the world, and it is a top martial arts secret book."

Zheng Ling looked down at this unremarkable book, but he didn't expect it to have a lot of background.

Not long after, Zheng Ling heard some movement in the distance, and hurriedly wrapped the letter and "Sword Manual" in cloth and stuffed them into his arms. After smoothing out his clothes, he put the lid on the kettle again, and then walked out slowly.

Soon, an attendant with a knife and a middle-aged man walked towards the wooden house.

Zheng Ling looked at the leader and asked with a smile: "Brother Jingwei, why don't you stay with the owner to protect the owner, what are you doing in the flower field?"

The man's name was Bao Jingwei, he knew Zheng Ling, and he had a good relationship on weekdays, so he said a few more words: "Who am I? It turned out to be you, and you came to help Chu Bo water again?" , pointing at the middle-aged man behind him, said in a deep voice: "This is where you will work from now on, and this room is also for your use. I just told you what to do in detail." He handed over the lock and key , beckoning him to come into the house to have a look.

The man nodded repeatedly, took the lock and key respectfully, and walked into the cabin.

Zheng Ling looked at the man, turned his eyes again, and asked Bao Jingwei suspiciously: "Is this man here to take over Chu Bo's job?"

Bao Jingwei nodded, put his right hand on the handle of the knife, and said, "Uncle Chu is not young anymore, no, he went to ask the owner to leave last night, and the owner agreed."

Zheng Ling suddenly said: "So that's the case, no wonder I haven't seen Chu Bo all this time."

Bao Jingwei smiled: "Look, you are the closest to Uncle Chu on weekdays, but in the end he didn't even tell you when he left the villa."

Zheng Ling smiled wryly.

After joking around, Bao Jingwei didn't stay any longer, and left after saying a few more words.

After he walked away, Zheng Ling turned his head to look at the wooden house, then turned around and walked into the flower field again, picked up the water ladle, and there was no writing on it.Zheng Ling thought in his heart: I hope you can live a stable life from now on, and don't want to be hunted down again.

After thinking about it, Zheng Ling bowed to scoop up water and watered the flowers seriously.

On the way back, Jin Fenghuang asked: "Zheng Ling, how did you find out that Uncle Chu is the Zhao Angxiao that the man in black is looking for?"

Zheng Ling said: "How did you find it? A lock happened to meet the key that matched it, and it opened."

Jin Fenghuang recalled this sentence, and said again: "The man in black doesn't even know what the person he is looking for looks like now, he said that Zhao Angxiao is in the Wuming Villa, so you believe it?"

Zheng Ling said slowly: "There are many capable people in the Jianghu, and there are all kinds of martial arts moves. It is not difficult for some people to disguise themselves and change their appearance. Therefore, many intelligence agencies have emerged as the times require. After all, the market has such In terms of needs, if there are people who want to find someone, there will be someone to help them find someone. Although the world seems to be big, it may not be able to hide a person, and this makes all the sects avoid the unnamed villa by three points. The best place for those people. Speaking of which, this Unnamed Villa is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.” It’s just that I don’t know how many people like this are hidden in the Unnamed Villa today.

Jin Fenghuang said again: "Then why don't you doubt so many people, but only doubt Chu Bo?"

Zheng Ling replied: "Actually, I already knew Chu Bo's surname was Zhao. It was only when the man in black appeared that night that I knew his full name."

"Oh? But Uncle Chu didn't tell you what his original surname was?"

"Many things don't need to be said personally, and the answer can be found. The year before last, I found a shallow "Zhao" character at the corner of the wooden table by the window in Chu Bo's room. In the past two years, this character has deepened. Uncle stood in front of the window every night, looking at the moon and thinking of his hometown, and the word "Zhao" was written unconsciously with his fingers. People in the Jianghu said, "If you don't go, you don't change your name, if you don't sit down, you don't change your surname." If it is not a last resort, who will change their name Changing your surname? A surname is a symbol of a family’s bloodline, the inheritance and continuation of a family. No matter where you come from or where you are going, you will feel very cordial when you meet someone with the same surname as you. In the past, Uncle Chu I'm also used to chatting with Uncle Zhao, talking about some talented people from the Zhao family. But today, I saw that a corner of that table was missing."

"That can also be said that he misses a certain person surnamed Zhao!"

Zheng Ling said: "Do you still remember that I asked Uncle Chu if he had a wife and children? He said that when he was young, he had a childhood sweetheart named Zhang, but at that time he was too young and didn't know how to cherish it, so it was absurd to go out all day. Disappointments piled up every day, and finally the woman surnamed Zhang abandoned him in despair and married someone else."

Jin Fenghuang recalled that day.That day, Uncle Chu found a jar of wine from the house that had been dusty for many years, raised his neck and drank it heavily, with tears or wine streaming down his face.

As for that strength, at that time Zheng Ling only thought that it was Chu Bo who practiced carrying water for many years.

Jin Fenghuang didn't ask Zheng Ling further, how did he conclude that Uncle Chu was Zhao Angxiao.As long as you pay attention, some clues in life will always tell the answer to the world.

For a while, Zheng Ling and Jin Fenghuang stopped talking.
