The Last Mecha

Chapter 21 Looking for someone, the Liu Family Courtyard

Huaxia Wushu has a long history, and its systematic training and learning methods have existed since ancient times, and it takes time for all to see.But after all, it is a technique for killing people. No matter what genre it is, the technique is dark and heavy, aiming at one-shot wounding. It is not a field that children can set foot in.

The few tricks that Wu Gou taught his younger brother Wu Yong were actually changed from Xiasanlu. They are simpler and can make a child's body come in handy. It hurts and cries an equally inexperienced kid, making him sleepless for a long time. Come around, and it won't cause injuries.

When the two brothers returned home, it was already very late, and the moon was at the end of the horizon.

Wu Gou was already prepared to be scolded, but to his surprise, when they entered the door, the familiar smell of stir-fried vegetables and tofu mixed together, which did not arouse much appetite, did not penetrate into the nostrils.

Under the dim light, Xu Qiuyu, who heard the sound of the door opening, stretched his neck and looked out from the back room, "It's the two of you who came back, not with Jing Ting? She should have returned from grocery shopping an hour ago, and she hasn't seen her until now." Man, your father has gone out to look for it."

Wu Gou frowned, with a vague premonition in his heart, he hid the surging emotions, and put an empty smile on his face.

"Hey, big sister is so powerful, what else can happen, I guess it's because some acquaintances have difficulties on the way, she's eager to help. I'll go and have a look too. Please take care of mother, if we don't come back in half an hour, you Get some porridge and pickles to work with your mother and eat first, don't forget to cook an egg for her."

After speaking, he stood outside and gently closed the door. Light and shadow cut his cold expression behind the door into light and dark parts.

Ever since Jiang Song appeared in this era to transform people with qi metal, Wu Gou had faintly worried about this in his heart. Since the development of technology is different from the time he experienced before, will other things be the same?Whether the Wu family will encounter misfortune in advance one day, he is not sure, after all, the reason for everything that happened has not been found yet.

It was already dark, and the number of people on the street was much less than that in the daytime. On the relatively smooth surface of Huaining Street, Wu Gou's footsteps became faster and faster. He was so anxious that he bumped into a Breton who was looking at his pocket watch. people.

The blue-eyed guy was muttering dirty words in slang, but when he looked back, he found that the kid who hit him had already run away.

Father Wu Yiou has already gone to look for the eldest sister, and he will probably follow the two roads from Tianyi Dyefang to get off work and the vegetable market.Wu Gou didn't want to repeat wasting time, he turned around, took a shortcut in the lane, and got into a few nearby side streets with fewer people.

The lights dimmed suddenly, sand and gravel flew on the increasingly rough ground under the feet, and the dirty river on the left was floating with waste residues discharged from the factory.

On the right, a half-naked man was lying in front of the closed stone steps, with an unshaven beard, his dirty body smelled of alcohol, and his eyes were dull.

On the more desolate streets, it is not difficult to see such people. Most of them are homeless and lame. Luxury, in their eyes, it is better to replace it with two sips of wine.

One of the characteristics of this kind of people is that they often don't move all day. If you want to inquire about any notable things that happened that day on this street, they are good targets.

Wu Gou walked forward with a sullen face, and threw out two copper coins and said, "Have you ever seen a girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a long red dress, who passed by here in the last hour? Maybe the look Rather flustered."

The lame man reached out to take the copper plate, pinched it with his dirty fingers, put it in his mouth, and licked it. After pondering for a long time, he said, "Well, there seems to be such a person, but I can't remember it, is it?" What is the reason?"

There was a crisp clang, and Wu Gou was too lazy to babble, so he stretched out his hand and threw three more. After that, he didn't speak, just waiting for the other party's answer.

"I remember."

The lame man stuffed the copper plate into his waist eye, and his greedy eyes reflected the well-dressed young man in front of him.He glanced at the sparsely populated riverside, reached out and grabbed a sharp stone behind him, grinning.

"Look at my memory, I remember wrongly, I didn't see that kind of girl. But look at the young master's way of spending money like water, there must be a lot of money in his pocket, show your grandpa to see—"

The scorpion hadn't finished the ending of the word "watch" when he saw a fist in his field of vision infinitely magnified. Wu Gou's ruthless fist slammed on his cheek, and a mouthful of spittle mixed with blood flew across the sky, drawing a picture in the night sky. Intermittent arc trajectory.

The stone in the hands of the scorpion also fell out of Wu Gou's feet, and the young man's calm face showed his cruelty, so frightened that the scorpion covered his face for a long time and couldn't even utter the word "pain".But then he turned around and left, leaving only a smaller and smaller figure in his field of vision.

He has no time to waste with such nonsense.

Relying on the same method, Wu Gou asked several street people in succession, and after knocking down three homeless men, he finally heard some useful information.

On the side of the main road in the concession center, at the end of several arterial roads, the walls are covered with Avalokitesvara and Buddha paintings. Inside the red wall is a large-scale Chinese-style courtyard. The two-story green tile building with a top corner is a typical Jiangnan The architectural style can be seen from the exquisite wood-carved window paintings and the plaques inlaid with gold rims. The people who live here are of extraordinary status.

On the plaque is a big "Liu".

The Liu Family Courtyard is a well-known location in the foreign concession, and the owner here, Liu Changsheng, is the major shareholder of Jiang Song's largest Huasheng foreign company and several heavy factories.

When the port regulations were signed 40 years ago, Liu Changsheng at that time was still a small peddler who had only one carriage and had to nod and bow when he saw soldiers in front of the city, handing him cigarettes and alcohol.He saw this opportunity, and in the era when Xia people were generally unwilling to get along with foreigners, he single-handedly took Jiang Song on the horse. With a bright mind, he worked hard for more than ten years, learning from foreigners to run foreign firms and invest in industries, and now Jiang Song is well-known. No small industrialist.

"Master Liu, all the clothes here have been washed for you, so I'll leave first."

In the side room outside the Liu family compound, a soft voice said, listening carefully, you can vaguely taste a hint of crying.

The person who spoke was Wu Gou's eldest sister, Wu Jingting. This was a submissive tone that she would never say on weekdays.

In front of her was a young man in a toga, in his early twenties, with black hair combed back straight and shiny, with a wide nose and broad face, and a playful look on his face. Behind him were two bodyguards with big arms and round waists.

He is Liu Changsheng's eldest son, Liu Jintao, and Wu Jingting's heart disease stems from this person.

"and many more."

Liu Jintao frowned, and grabbed Wu Jingting who wanted to leave.
