Zhuang Youjie was shocked and stopped chewing. How could anyone know him here?
Or how did this child find out that his surname was Zhuang?
Along the way, he never revealed his name.
The little boy calmly ate the spring roll and said to him, "I've been looking for you for a long time."
Zhuang Youjie was even more confused now. He pointed at himself and said, "Kid, are you looking for me?"
"Isn't your surname Zhuang?" the little boy asked him.
Zhuang Youjie saw the "Why are you so troublesome" expression on the face of a big kid, and nodded blankly,
"My surname is Zhuang."
Hearing this, the little boy took out a crumpled note from his pocket and said, "A brother asked me to give this to you so that you can come to Luo Chuanshui Town before this evening."
Zhuang Youjie took the note and unfolded it to see Liang Yuanque's handwriting. He wrote the address of a family on it and asked him to find the family. They would drive him to the town.
Could it be that Liang Yuanque would have been so tired when he came all the way to Kanggou Township? Even the car was arranged for him.
In a village like this where there were not even rickshaws, Zhuang Youjie guessed that there were no cars, at most they were horse-drawn carriages and donkey carts.
Zhuang Youjie thanked the little boy and saw that he was still staring at the spring rolls on his plate, so he gave them all to him, got up and called the shopkeeper to pay.
After leaving the restaurant, he followed the address written on Liang Yuanque's note.
The address on the note was very detailed, and Zhuang Youjie found the home without much effort.
This family should be considered a wealthy family in the village, and their houses are unusual. Liang Yuanque had already established a good relationship with Zhuang Youjie and left the fare for them. As soon as Zhuang Youjie came to find him, people knew what he did. .
It is said that the male head of this family has gone to work elsewhere, and the female head of the family is supporting him.
This sister-in-law is quite tall with broad shoulders. Judging from the bone statue, she does not look like a local.
She neatly added the donkey cart and asked Zhuang Youjie to get on the cart. The two chatted while driving.
This sister-in-law turned out to be a girl from the north. When she was young, she met her man who went to work in her hometown. She married hundreds of kilometers away and came here for love.
Her husband made more money working outside than in the village, and she was a neat and capable person, so it didn't take long for her family to build a big house and she became one of the richest households in the village.
The sister-in-law is very business-savvy. She saw Liang Yuanque looking for a car on the street, so she volunteered to help him. Anyway, she was just going to town, so she wouldn't waste much time. Let Liang Yuanque watch and give him some advice. Just son.
Unexpectedly, Liang Yuanque was very strange and said that instead of going to town by himself, he asked his sister-in-law to wait for someone to come to the door and take that person to town.
I heard from my sister-in-law that after Liang Yuanque made an agreement with her, she gave a kid on the street a handful of candies and a note and asked him to wander around the countryside looking for a young man named Zhuang.
Zhuang Youjie was curious about how Liang Yuanque could only find the little boy and asked his sister-in-law if she knew anything about it.
When Liang Yuanque handed over the instructions to the little boy, his sister-in-law actually happened to be there.
According to her, Liang Yuanque told the child that the person he was looking for bought a map at a rural bookstore and looked like he could not move because he was so tired that he would probably go to a restaurant to eat.
He told the little boy that he could wait until he entered the restaurant before meeting him so he could order something to eat.
Zhuang Youjie was once again stunned by Liang Yuanque's ability.
If Liang Yuanque secretly followed him and found out that he bought a map and was extremely tired, then it would be outrageous for him to know that he would enter a restaurant and couldn't help but feed a child. .
Zhuang Youjie also read some detective novels, some from foreign countries, and short stories published in newspapers. He knew that the process of detective "being able to figure out and calculate" was called reasoning.
The reasoning in reality can be as amazing as in novels.
He was vaguely looking forward to it. If he stayed with Liang Yuanque for a long time, would he be able to develop such a magical ability?
While talking, the sister-in-law took Zhuang Youjie to the place.
Luo Chuanshui Town is just like its name. The whole town is not big. The town relies on this big river to exist.
The sister-in-law told Zhuang Youjie that it was not that the town relied on the river for its existence, but that more than half of the town was made up of the river.
Luo Chuanshui Town has more waterways than land routes, and local residents make their living on the water.
This river is called "Luochuan River" by the locals. The water surface is very calm, but if you stand on the bank and look down carefully, you can see that the water level of this river is very deep. It is no joke to fall into it.
At this moment, Zhuang Youjie has arrived at the town Liang Yuanque mentioned, but where should he go to find Liang Yuanque?
After a short rest in the restaurant, he was no longer so tired, so he walked along the river and finally stood on the bank.
He forgot where he had heard it before. Water towns and cities were criss-crossed by rivers, and places that looked very close actually had to be rowed around a long way to get to.
Therefore, the people in the water town don't meet each other no matter what big things happen. If they need anything, they just stand on the river bank and call each other.
Zhuang Youjie stood on the shore and saw the town on the opposite side across the wide river. Due to the mist of water vapor and the dusk in the evening, he could not see the scene on the opposite side clearly, and could only vaguely see some outlines.
From these outlines, he could see that the overall buildings in the town opposite were much taller than Luo Chuanshui Town, and they looked like a walled city.
Zhuang Youjie was on the shore, looking at the other side who was considering whether to imitate the people in the water town and call Liang Yuanque, when he saw a small boat slowly approaching him.
The boat was held by an old boatman. There was a young man sitting on the bow, wearing a bamboo hat and playing with the water with a bamboo pole.
When he arrived in front of Zhuang Youjie, the boy in a bamboo hat raised his bamboo pole and shook Zhuang Youjie's face.
"Oh, how come you..."
Zhuang Youjie was just about to have a seizure when he saw a familiar face.
Liang Yuanque, who looked at him with a smile on his face, laughed loudly, "What are you thinking about? You walked back and forth on the shore."
Zhuang Youjie squatted down and got closer to him, "You still said, wasn't I looking for you?"
"You don't have to look for me, I will come to you naturally." Liang Yuanque said as he stood up and stretched out his hand to Zhuang Youjie on the shore, as if to tell him to get on the boat.
Zhuang Youjie looked at the water and the shaky boat, feeling a little uneasy.
"Our next stop is to take a boat there?"
Liucheng also has water and rivers, but they are not as spectacular as here. Moreover, Zhuang Youjie had a brother-in-law who went into the river and drowned when he was a child. Therefore, their children were not allowed to go near the water after that, so he has never sat on the water. Cross the boat.
"Our case this time is at the village on the other side of the river." Liang Yuanque became impatient and shook his aching arm, "Master, you have come all the way here and you don't dare to leave when you get here?"
