Cao Thief

Chapter 5 A Man Should Kill Someone (22) [-]
"Afu, what are you doing?"

After Cao Peng and Wang Mai returned to the market, they were not in a hurry to buy bone-beating medicine.There are fewer pedestrians on the street!How can Chengji Trading Company hide this incident from others?How big is Zhongyang Town?So it quickly became common knowledge...

Everyone knows that Cheng Ji is overbearing, but they never expected that Cheng Ji is so overbearing!
For a while, people closed the market one after another.

Those who should go home go home, those who should close the stalls...

If you can't provoke us, we can hide, no matter how powerful you Cheng Ji is, if we don't dangle under your nose, what else can you do with us?

So, walking in the market again, Cao Peng obviously felt deserted.

He walked slowly along the street, and walked around Chengji Shang three times from a distance.He didn't stop until Wang Mai urged him.

"It's okay, turn around!"

After finishing speaking, he walked into a pharmacy and bought two Dieda ointment.

"Let's go, let's go back."

Wang Mai agreed, but he still felt a little strange in his heart. He couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Cao Peng was selling in his throat.

On the way back, Cao Peng suddenly said: "Wang Mai, I saw you have a hunting knife before, it's so beautiful!"

"You mean this one?"

Wang Mai pulled out a knife from his waist and handed it to Cao Peng.

A knife, about forty centimeters long, with a black dog leather scabbard.The handle is only ten centimeters long, but it is just right for a child to hold.

Cao Peng pulled out his knife and glanced at it.

This knife, to be precise, is not a hunting knife.

In terms of appearance, the size of the Huanshou knife is only reduced, and for adults, its decorative effect may be greater.

Moreover, it was very rough, and it was very different from the knives that Cao Peng had collected in his previous life.

But killing people is enough...

"Lend me to play for two days, okay?"

Cao Peng put away the knife and looked at Wang Mai with a smile.

Wang Mai showed a reluctant expression on his face, and said softly: "My father took me to the county town to buy this time..."

"Tiger head, are we good brothers?"

How could Cao Peng fail to guess what Wang Mai was thinking, and put his arms around Wang Mai's neck with a smile.

He was much lower than Wang Mai, so he seemed a little struggling, "Hutou, lend me to play for a day, tomorrow, I will definitely pay you back tomorrow."

Wang Mai scratched his head, and it took him a long time to make up his mind.

"Okay, then you must return it to me tomorrow!"

"A word is settled!"

Cao Peng exhaled lightly, and put the hunting knife into the big sleeve of the scorpion.

A cold light flashed in his eyes...

He smiled and pulled Wang Mai back home together.

——————————————————————————————

Cao Ji and his wife left Wang Meng and his son to have lunch at home, and then Wang Meng and his son took their leave.

And Cao Peng secretly took out the millstone from his father's toolbox, went back to the inner room very quietly, and put down the curtain casually.

Cao Ji obviously forgot about going to Zhongyang Temple tomorrow.

He and Mrs. Zhang were sitting on the couch, talking without saying a word, feeling heavy in their hearts.

"Baby's father, do you think what Uncle Wang said is true?"

Mrs. Zhang asked with some anxiety.

Cao Ji said softly: "Brother is well-informed and knowledgeable, he is not an ordinary person.

And you should know that he is not the kind of person who likes to talk nonsense...Since he said that, he must have his reasons.

Big brother is right, these years are full of chaos, how can there be any justice at all?

Cheng Ji can run rampant in the county town, let alone our small Zhongyang Town... There is no reason for a person like him. "

"Then what shall we do?"

"This... I haven't figured it out yet."

Mrs. Zhang hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "How about we go to the girl's side?

Some time ago, the girl sent a letter saying, let us go... I heard that Liu Jingzhou is generous and benevolent, and their life there is quite good.And there are a lot of people at the in-laws' side, so it's not difficult to find someone to talk to when something happens... What do you think? "

Cao Ji thought for a while, then grinned, "That's good, but when you get there, you'll always depend on the person's face..."

"What's wrong with sending someone under the fence?
We didn't depend on others in Zhongyang Town, but when something happened, who would stand up and say a word for us except Brother Wang?

Uncle is not a stingy person, he keeps saying he wants us to go there.

Besides, don't you still have a craft?Even if we get there, we can't count on being under the fence! "

When Cao Ji heard this, his heart was also moved.

The boy's mother is right. Although my craftsmanship is not top-notch, it can be repaired, and I won't rely on my uncle's family for relief.

Self-support is just a change of place, so what's the difference?
"Brother Wang..."

"If you are reluctant to part with Brother Wang, let's go and talk to Brother Wang... Even if he leaves Zhongyang Town with his tiger head, he has nowhere to go. Why don't we go there together, and we can take care of him. Brother Wang is so capable. Big, maybe in another place, you can still stand out.”

Cao Ji nodded repeatedly, apparently moved by Mrs. Zhang.

"Then let's go over and discuss it with Brother Wang. If we really want to move, it will still be a troublesome matter."

Cao Ji and Mrs. Zhang discussed for a long time, seeing that it was going to be late, they planned to make dinner before discussing with Wang Meng.

However, when he and his wife entered the inner room, they found that Cao Peng had fallen asleep on the couch...then the couple put the cooked food on the pot, and without waking Cao Peng, they closed the door and left quietly. go.

Not long after the couple left, they saw the door of the room opened slightly, followed by a thin figure flashing and disappearing into the night...

--------------------------

Of course Wang Meng agreed with Cao Ji's idea!
In fact, if his father and son left Zhongyang Town, they would have nowhere to go.

There are a few of the old robes who are still alive, but most of them occupy the mountain and become kings, and it is not the king who wants to provoke them.After finally getting out of the circle of nonsense, and jumping in again?Just talking about buying for Wang, Wang Meng is not willing to go this way!Being a bandit doesn't end well.

As for the situation of Cao Ji's son-in-law, Wang Meng also knows something.

Cao Ji's son-in-law is called Deng Ji, who is from Deng Village, Jiyang...

Although this Deng village is not considered a famous family, it can still rank high in Jiyang, and it is a clan village with a large scale.

There are more than 100 households and nearly 600 people in the whole village.

Among them, more than [-]% of the residents have the surname Deng, forming a considerable force in Jiyang.

Now the head of the Deng village is named Deng Ji, who is a subordinate of Jingzhou Mu Liubiao, stationed in Xinye County... Cao Ji's son-in-law, Deng Ji, belongs to a side branch, and has no deep connection with Deng Ji.But after all, it is Deng's surname, so it can be considered not a bad family background, and now he is serving as an assistant in the Jiyang County Office.His position is not big, but he is an official with real power... If he takes care of him, Wang Meng and his son and Cao Ji's family can also rely on him.

Before that, Cao Ji still had some thoughts about leaving his homeland.

But now that things have come to this point, he doesn't think about it that much.After discussing with Wang Meng, Wang Meng immediately raised his hands in favor...

"Brother, in my opinion, it is not too late, let's leave as soon as possible."

Cao Ji scratched his head and said softly, "Brother, don't be so anxious..."

"There are so many dreams in the night, brother!"

Wang Meng persuaded: "Don't worry so much, just give up what should be discarded, and when we settle down, we can buy it."

"So... just as my brother said."

The two families discussed for a long time, and before they knew it, it was getting late.

Cao Ji and his wife bid farewell and left, while Wang Meng woke up Wang Mai and prepared to pack his things.

"Father, when are we leaving?"

"Of course, the sooner the better!" Wang Meng took out a large leather bag from the box, and packed bows and arrows and other items.In this troubled world, one cannot live without weapons.These bows and arrows of his were all collected from the battlefield back then, and they were considered to be well-equipped.

"By the way, where's the knife I bought for you yesterday?"

Wang Meng asked suddenly.

Wang Mai was taken aback, and said casually: "Ah Fu borrowed it...he thought my knife was beautiful, so he wanted to play with it, and I will ask him to get it back at dawn."

"Ah Fu is leaving?"

Wang Meng nodded, and was about to pack up his things again, when he suddenly trembled, turned around and asked, "What does Ah Fu want a knife for?"

Wang Mai said doubtfully, "I don't know!"

"This child..."

Wang Meng frowned, and his heart skipped a beat.

But immediately, he shook his head vigorously, and said with a smile to himself: "That kid is usually cowardly, how can he have such courage? Impossible, impossible!"

Thinking of this, he knelt down and continued to pack his things.

But at this moment, there was a hasty knock on the door.

Wang Meng stood up and opened the door, only to see Cao Ji outside the door panting, with a look of panic on his face.

"Brother, you are..."

Cao Ji swallowed, and interrupted Wang Meng with a wave of his hand, "Brother, did my friend come to your house?"

"Afu?"

Wang Meng was stunned, "No! Hutou and I have been at home all the time, so we haven't seen him come."

"Then where did he go?"

Cao Ji stomped his feet anxiously, "After my mother and I went back, we found that Peng'er had disappeared..."
