Chapter 73 Dad's Secret
The 28th day of the first lunar month coincides with Jingzhe, among the twenty solar terms of the lunar calendar, and the day when Chenxi goes to school is approaching.
Chen Xi woke up a little late in the morning and was eating. Wang Lingzhi pushed open the gate and ran in excitedly: "Senior brother, senior brother, I have completed the task you assigned to you. Come here to inform you."
At this time, Lin Dai walked out of the main hall with a bowl in her arms. Seeing that it was Wang Lingzhi, she glared at Chen Xi. Zhou finally went out, glanced at three eyes, and greeted: "Yanwa, you have a classmate coming. Mom, go to the pharmacy first. Don't go everywhere. Go to the shop for help after playing for a while, do you know?"
"Mom, I understand. Come over quickly." Chen Xiyi's face was innocent and she didn't want me to suspect that Wang Lingzhi had a different purpose in this trip.
After my mother disappeared at the gate, Chen Xi said with a stern face: "Didn't you tell you not to speak? You came to my house and asked, "You yelled without asking. Do you have any professional qualities?"
Wang Lingzhi touched his head and asked, "Senior Brother, what is professional quality?"
"Ah, that's a very advanced cultivation. If you don't understand, you don't understand. Wait first, let's go out." Chen Xi looked at Lin Dai holding a bowl next to him, thinking that the girl wouldn't know about this. Although Lin Dai was much obedient in the past, she would not bicker with him and report to me, but it's hard to guarantee that she would ask me if she didn't understand anything after hearing it, and then the matter wouldn't be kept.
Chen Xi took a few slaps and threw down his bowl. He went out with Wang Lingzhi to the entrance of the alley, and then asked, "Well, what's the result?"
Wang Lingzhi had a complacent smile on his face: "I have followed your father twice. He came back here once. When I got outside the yard, I found nothing unusual and went back. Three days ago, I asked Butler Liu where your father often went during this period. After his father got off work, he liked to go to the south gate. As a result, I followed him yesterday and went to a dilapidated alley near the city gate and saw no one."
Chen Xi had heard that his father went to the south gate, but he thought he was going to "Flowers, Flowers, Snow and Moons" and "Enjoy life". When he heard it, he couldn't help but stare at Wang Lingzhi: "If you lose it, you are so embarrassed to come and complete the task? Oh, forget it, remember the general location? Let's follow us today, I want to see what my father is doing."
Since the plague broke out in Lingnan and Fujian and Zhejiang, Shen Mingjun began to ignore his family. In the meantime, he followed Wang Changnie to Wuchang Prefecture in Huguang, which was understandable, but what happened later became bizarre. No matter when the Wang family was busy, he didn't even come back on New Year's Eve, so Chen Xi felt it was incredible.
After discussing the time and place with Wang Lingzhi, Chen Xi went back to prepare.
In order not to let Zhou discover his whereabouts of his father, Chen Xi acted very naturally this day. When he was about to settle with Wang Ling, Chen Xi found an excuse and left the medicine shop and headed straight to the back door of the Wang family's mansion.
"Senior brother, you're here."
Wang Lingzhi had already changed his outfit, had short clothes, and had bandages on his legs, which looked very clean and neat.
Chen Xi looked at Wang Ling's eloquence and asked, "Isn't you afraid of the cold wearing such a small amount?"
Wang Lingzhi wiped the clear snot flowing from the cold and smiled and said, "How can I care about the cold when I learn light skills from my senior brother?"
Chen Xi shook her head and stopped talking nonsense with him. The two discussed it. Chen Xi asked Wang Lingzhi to go home and stare at him first. After the others came out, the two met and followed him.
After Wang Lingzhi entered for a while, he saw that the sun had set in the west, a long-time worker living outside the city walked out of the back door. He should have left the city half an hour after the city gate was opened.
Chen Xi stared at the door, and not long after, Shen Mingjun also walked out. He first talked to Mr. Liu respectfully, but he couldn't hear anything. Finally, Shen Mingjun carried the empty load out of the door, not the way home, but as Wang Ling said, he was heading towards the south of the city.
"Dad, Dad, why are you not staying at home on weekdays?" Chen Xi stood in the corner and looked at Shen Mingjun's back, shook his head and sighed.
After a while, Wang Ling's ghost head came out of the back door and ran over to meet Chen Xi first. The two of them started to follow Shen Mingjun.
Chen Xi had never had any experience of following people before, but Shen Mingjun obviously did not have the experience of counter-stalking. He didn't know how to look back when he walked forward.
Chenxi and Wang Lingzhi were distant from a distance. Only at the corner of the street would you speed up a few steps. You could see clearly the direction Shen Mingjun was walking and then rubbed down before continuing to follow.
"Senior brother, I heard that it's very messy at the Nanmen. What should we do if we meet a kidnapper later?"
At this time, we happened to run into the evening market. The city gate of Tianli only opened for half an hour in the morning and evening. The firewood, fruits, vegetables, and rice in the shops had to be replenished during this period. It was said that the crowds were everywhere, and the fluctuations were very fast. This morning, it was the most lively time in the city at present.
Chen Xi glanced at him and said, "What do you teach you martial arts? If you have kidnappers, can we beat you? Can't run away? Don't be thief-like and destroy your majesty!"
Wang Ling's head heard this from him deeply philosophical. He learned martial arts to be a hero and righteous person. How could he be afraid of thieves? But he had been studying with Chen Xi for half a year, and he had never had the chance to "show director" his skills. Now he hoped to meet a kidnapper and fight side by side with his senior brother and enjoy the opportunity.
Chen Xi was very concerned when he followed him, but if he encountered someone passing by, he would pretend to be nothing, so as not to be regarded as a pickpocket by others.
Finally arrived at the street in front of the city gate. Shen Mingjun accelerated his pace a little, and then he entered a somewhat dilapidated alley next to the street. Chen Xi followed him forward and took a closer look. Shen Mingjun came to the hut at the bottom of the alley near the city wall. He pushed open the door and walked in. Looking at his familiar movements, he knew that he had become accustomed to it.
"You were here last time?"
Chen Xi waited for a while, but before he saw Shen Mingjun coming out, he asked Wang Lingzhi who was lying on his head next to him.
Wang Lingzhi looked around and shook his head and said, "I didn't follow here, I didn't continue to reach the entrance of the alley in front. This place is quite deserted, and I dare not go too deep."
Chen Xitou, he thought that if my father had a woman outside, he would rent a good place for the woman. After all, my mother asked him to send her home a lot of money every month. If the outdoor room she kept was placed in such a broken thatched hut, who would have lived with him with peace of mind? I'm afraid she would have run away long ago!
Although there will be a risk of being discovered at any time when you get closer, Chen Xi still gritted his teeth. He thought that he would take this opportunity to let the truth come out, otherwise he would not sleep well.
When he arrived outside the hut, Chen Xi looked inside, but it was a yard surrounded by fences. It looked very dilapidated. The two houses side by side were very low. In the yard, there were groups of chickens and ducks gathered together. It turned out that Shen Mingjun was squatting there to feed. In the corner of the yard, there was a pigpen made of stones, with two pigs raising them.
Apart from this, there is no sign of a woman at all, only Shen Mingjun is busy.
"Huh!? Lang, why are you here?"
Because he didn't realize that his father had an affair, Chen Xi felt that there was no need to hide anymore and stood outside the fence and did not leave. Shen Mingjun worked for a long time before he found that Chen Xi and Wang Lingzhi were standing outside.
Chen Xi asked with a wry smile: "Dad, if you don't go home on weekdays, you just come here to work on this?"
"I"
Shen Mingjun's old face was a little uneasy. He didn't expect his son to come with him. In the past few months, he asked himself that he had hidden himself very well. Zhou never knew that he was doing side jobs outside.
Chen Xi opened the fence door and entered inside.
The chickens and ducks in the yard saw people coming in and ran around. Fortunately, the fence was very tall and strong, so it was difficult to run out.
After seeing it, Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh that his father didn't care about his family, not raising women outside, but was fiddling with his "breeding farm"!
