When it was getting dark, he paid the workers and asked them to go home. "Come back tomorrow!" he said.
He staggered and walked north along Liwen Street, turned east again when he reached Fanhou Street, walked eastward along Fanhou Street for one stop, crossed Dongqing Street, and reached Zhaojiaping Lane.
On the north side of the alley, there is a lonely house with a signboard on the door that reads "Dongqing National Martial Arts Museum".
It is a miracle that "Dongqing National Martial Arts Museum" survived the Changsha fire.
When the Changsha Construction Committee planned to build a building in Zhaojiaping Lane, all the houses around the Guoshu Museum were demolished.
Tu Yansen, the owner of the "Dongqing National Martial Arts Museum", is a boxer with excellent martial arts. He has a large group of disciples and disciples, and is a figure in Changsha City. Officials from the construction committee were more polite when they approached him to discuss land acquisition.
Just because they were so polite, Tu Yansen offered a higher price. When the two parties were about to reach an agreement after several haggling, the officials from the construction committee suddenly stopped coming!
This made Tu Yansen somewhat regretful, feeling that his asking price was too much.
But in November, a fire suddenly broke out in Changsha. The surrounding area of "Dongqing Guoshu Museum" had been demolished, and Zhaojiaping Lane was to the south. In addition, the owner of Tu Museum and his disciples and grandchildren poured water on the house desperately.
, the pond behind the Guoshu Museum was almost dried up, and then the "Dongqing Guoshu Museum" was preserved.
For more than a year, the "Dongqing National Martial Arts Museum" has been sitting alone in Zhaojiaping Lane.
Qian Tou entered the gate of the Guoshu Hall and kept walking inside.
In the yard, some young people were shirtless and still learning boxing and martial arts.

Qian Tou entered the back hall of the Guoshu Hall. The owner of the hall, Tu Yansen, was wearing a long gown and was sitting on the Taishi chair, smoking a hookah.
Tu Yansen is from Loudi and has been practicing martial arts in Gumei Mountain in Xinhua since he was a child. The martial arts he learned are very unique.
First of all, the name of this martial art is just one word: "fight"! It's really straight to the point and straight to the point!
Secondly, the founder of "Da" is called Wang Longshan, who is said to have been the master of Chi You, one of the ancestors of Chinese humanities. Because it was formed in the ancient Meishan Mountain, this martial art is also called "Meishan Boxing"!
"Meishan Boxing" has profound routines and emphasizes close combat.
But once they fight, they are as fast as lightning, as fierce as thunder, and extremely fierce.
When Tu Yansen first arrived in Changsha, he once challenged the local martial arts community and won every fight, thereby making a name for himself. Only then did he gain a firm foothold in the city of Changsha and was able to open a gym and teach apprentices.
Tu Yansen has a rectangular face, slightly high cheekbones, and gray hair combed back, making him look very majestic.
As soon as he saw Qiantou come in, he looked at him with a calm questioning look.
Qian Tou shook his head and whispered: "Master, I still haven't noticed it. It's been a while, and it's still the same."
The doubts in Qian Tou's heart were actually the doubts in Tu Guanzhu's mind, but they couldn't express them directly.
Finally, Master Tu asked: "Is there any news about Lao Yan?"
When Qian Tou heard that the owner of the hall asked about Lao Yan, he couldn't help but panic and said hurriedly: "Master, it's all the fault of the apprentice's incompetence. A few days ago, we followed Sha Wantong and found traces of Lao Yan. But we didn't expect that this
Sha Wantong actually put his hat on Lao Yan. We just thought that the one without a hat was Lao Yan, but we arrested the wrong person! Master, Lao Yan is nowhere to be seen now! However, we are thinking every day
We're looking for him! As long as he doesn't leave Changsha, we will definitely find him!"
Tu Yansen sat upright on the Taishi chair and slowly smoked the hookah.
Although he looked at the money head, his eyes were reserved. He was actually considering the situation in front of him.
He finally said: "There may indeed be a problem with that location on Liwen Street. But before you find a new location, you still have to continue looking there! In addition, just send more brothers to look for Lao Yan! If you find him, you can ask questions clearly.
!”
Qian Tou nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, master, I will, I will!"

No one could have imagined that Lao Yan, who was being searched for by Tu Yansen, was hiding behind the corner and staring at the little girl Wu Xiaoyan!
Lao Yan, Yan Boling, is in his early forties. But looking at his appearance, he is old and haggard, with a sallow complexion and thin muscles. He seems to have passed that age long ago. His clothes are even more filthy, and he is no different from a beggar!
He used to be an accountant at the Hunan Provincial Bank, the most common kind. Now the Hunan Provincial Bank has moved to Yuanling, and all the bank employees have followed him. He is probably the only one who remains in Changsha.
But none of this is important! Very unimportant!
The most important thing is that he knows a huge secret! This is because he was not taken seriously by his superiors and was sent to sort out the garbage-heap-like files accumulated in the bank over the years. He accidentally discovered it!
He would never dare to tell anyone this secret! He understood that no matter what ambitions the other party made, once he got his secret, he would only die! There was no second possibility! Because no one wanted the secret he mastered to come to light again.
!
He didn't dare to show up! If he was discovered, he would be tortured and interrogated! The final result would still be death!
But now he is hiding in Tibet, even spending the night in a garbage dump, with very little money in his pocket! If he doesn't think of a way, the final result will be to die on the street! Or die!
He urgently needs to find a shelter, give him food and give him a place to sleep! He really doesn't want to die!
On a rainy night, he accidentally saw a little girl running past him. He couldn't explain why, but he just thought that this little girl might help him! Maybe it was the alert look the little girl stared at him when the lightning flashed!
Yan Boling is past middle age and has a lot of life experience. He feels that someone with such alert eyes must not be simple!
He followed the little girl. After a few days, he realized the following crucial points:
First, the people living with this little girl are all children, the oldest is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and the youngest is only thirteen or fourteen years old. But this little girl is the leader! He can talk to those children from a young girl
You can see it in his demeanor!
Second, these children speak "very fresh" Sichuan dialect.
It’s not the “freshness” of Sichuan dialect that ordinary people hear for the first time, but Sichuan dialect that has not been affected by Hunan dialect! Therefore, those children have not been in Changsha for a long time! This is very important!
Third, these kids actually own a little restaurant!
This small restaurant is the only place where he can eat! This is even more important!

On this day, Xiaoyan entered Wanfuju Restaurant and stood at the door of the kitchen talking to Mazi in a low voice.
It's not dinner time now, and there are no customers in the restaurant. Erju and a few children are cleaning.
At this time, Yan Boling walked in quietly. He walked in carefully, and finally walked behind Xiaoyan.
He whispered: "Miss, please give me some food, please." After he finished speaking, he stared at Xiaoyan motionless.
Xiaoyan looked back at this beggar with dirty clothes, but she was a little surprised. A beggar came in and asked not from Erju, nor from the obviously older Mazi, but from her, and stared at her like this.
she!
Although Xiaoyan was alert and confused, she and her children had to eat, so she would not refuse a beggar!
She briefly said to Mazi: "Give him a bowl of noodles, a big bowl."
This sentence confirmed to Yan Boling that he was right. This little girl, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, was indeed the leader!
A few minutes later, Mazi brought out a large bowl of noodles, handed it directly to Yan Boling, and pointed to the wall at the door, meaning to ask him to squat by the wall and eat!
Yan Boling couldn't wait to hold the bowl, squatted by the wall and started eating.
Xiaoyan stared at him. Although she was a little confused, she didn't see anything. She was ready to leave at this time.
But when she walked to the door, Yan Boling raised her head and said, "Miss," he pointed to the food price sign on the wall and said, "Miss, according to the price you set, I'm afraid this store won't make any money.
Bar?"
He squatted on the ground, eating the noodles one bite at a time, but he rolled his eyes and stared at Xiaoyan.
Xiaoyan noticed something unusual again. She didn't open this small shop to make money! But if the restaurant doesn't make money, that's just one thing!
She turned back to Mazi and said, "Bring me two more sesame cakes."
The sesame cakes were left over from the morning. It only took a minute for Mazi to bring the sesame cakes.
Xiaoyan stopped him, took the sesame cake in his hand, put it on the table, turned around and said, "Uncle, come to the table and eat."
Yan Boling was extremely happy, this was a good sign! But nothing showed on his face.
He could see that the worst outcome of the current situation was that he could only have a full meal and then leave! The best outcome was that the little girl seemed to understand what he said, and he might be able to stay!
He said "thank you", sat down at the table with a bowl in hand, grabbed the sesame cake, and ate it.
While he was eating, he looked at the little girl sitting opposite. He hoped that the little girl would speak first.
Sure enough, Wu Xiaoyan looked at him calmly and said lightly and casually: "Uncle, a few days ago, on a rainy night, a man was kidnapped on the other side of Liwen Street! He was put in a sack and taken away.
of!"
Yan Boling was shocked! If there was a glimmer of hope for survival in his heart, it was this man! He was actually prepared to make a deal with this man! But when he knew that this man was a soldier, he did not dare to speak anyway!
It is too easy for soldiers to silence them!
But if this person is really captured by others! He will have no hope!
He looked at the little girl in front of him in shock, and finally confirmed that the little girl had recognized him a long time ago! What she said was definitely not in vain! Now, his last glimmer of hope is gone! The only thing he can do
, that’s how to survive!
He stared at the noodles and sesame cakes in front of him motionless, hesitated again and again, and finally begged in a low voice: "Miss, can you...take me in...just stay here...and take care of the food. I am also willing...to do things for Miss! Anything."
