After Xiaoshi finished speaking, he took a sip of tea leisurely at the side, even though he couldn't taste anything, he still pretended to "tsk".

After Su Mu quickly connected all the things he said together, he was even more worried, but he still carefully suppressed his expression.

"Since something happened to your master, why do you seem not in a hurry?"

Xiao Shitou was taken aback when he heard the words, tilted his head and thought for a while, then asked a little puzzled: "Why should I be in a hurry?"

Seeing that he took it for granted, Su Mu felt even more curious. Hearing his words showed rare respect for his master, but he didn't worry at all. What's the reason?

Xiao Shitou waved his hands, looking calm and composed: "I told you, my master is the best martial artist in the world. He was hunted down by his enemies and trapped in the valley for three months without any injuries.This group of people..."

He stretched out his index finger and shook it left and right: "Not qualified yet."

"Then why are you still looking for him?" Su Mu asked with a frown, "Since you trust your master so much, you should obediently wait for him to come out."

"Because I want to leave quickly." Xiao Shitou said, holding his chin, "I've played all the fun in Wangjiang City, and I'm already tired of it. Master said that he would take me away after finishing the business.In the end, it just disappeared, and I am still waiting for him to take me to the next place to have a good tour!"

He jumped up from the stool and clenched his fists: "So! If you find Master early, you can go to the next place earlier!"

Xiao Shitou's expression was so sincere and warm that Su Mu had to admit it from the bottom of his heart.

This kid must really think so.

He couldn't help but sighed the master's ability from the bottom of his heart. To be able to teach an apprentice so leniently, he must have really protected him very well.

Seeing this, Su Mu could only let go of the hesitation in his heart. Now he and Mo Shu are not only few people, but also newcomers. They don't know much about Wang Jiang's situation, and they really need an extra help.His wish was so plain and simple that he couldn't find any reason to refuse it.

The two parties reached a preliminary consensus. Xiao Shitou gave Su Mu a rough description of the current situation in the government office that he observed. Although he was young, he really observed the subtleties.Be careful to be discovered by others, and others will not easily become suspicious, which gives him more opportunities to investigate the situation carefully.

"If you ask me, the people in this government office don't look like good people." He said with a firm face, "Master and I have traveled all over the world for so many years, and we can still tell the difference between some good people and bad people, and it's not like we haven't seen them."I have been an ordinary yamen servant, and I have never seen things done so—so—”

After thinking hard for a while, he figured it out.

"People like bad guys."

Su Mu deeply sympathized with his description. He just had a face-to-face meeting with that Inspector Li, but he really couldn't develop a good impression.Even the slightest coldness made him feel a little scared.

According to Xiao Shitou, this Inspector Li sometimes met some strange people at night, but he couldn't describe the appearance of those people, the distance was too far, and he was still young and his memory was limited.He left a vague impression, although there were a few times when he wanted to follow this group of people from a distance to see what happened, but the other party was too vigilant, even with his good lightness skills, he still lost in the end.

After knowing all the situation, Su Mu only felt that this matter seemed to be inextricably related to what he was investigating. First, Xiao Shitou's master also said that he had discovered some secrets in the mountains, which was consistent with what Mo Shu said.The found strongholds correspond to each other, and because of this incident, they disappeared in the government office for no reason. It is easy to doubt whether the secrets in the government office are also related to it.

Then, is Liu Xiaoran and Lu Lingjue's purpose of coming here the same as her own?

Xiao Shitou was not in a hurry when he finished speaking, he sat on the stool and swayed his legs, waiting for Su Mu to speak.

After a long time, Su Mu pondered and said: "Since the government office can't find any clues now, maybe it can only be found from that place hidden in the mountains, but if the government office here does something, maybe it willIt's hard to guard against-"

Seeing Su Mu looking at him thoughtfully, Xiao Shitou immediately yelled: "Let me tell you first, I won't lie on this roof anymore. I'm almost exhausted from lying on this roof these days. If you want to investigate the government office, you should investigate it yourself.", my master is not inside anyway."

Seeing that Su Mu didn't answer after speaking, he moved closer and poked Su Mu lightly with his shoulder: "Just let me check the place you mentioned with you. Master didn't tell me where it was before.I'm also curious, why don't you take me to have a look, maybe my master is there!"

Seeing that Su Mu still seemed to be hesitant, he said persistently: "Besides, if I find my master, I can also ask him to help you find someone together. If the person you are looking for is really caught,My master's martial arts are so high, he must be able to help, right?"

Su Mu was finally convinced, so he had to ask Mo Shu to draw a rough map based on the impression in his mind.

When we parted on the second day, Mo Shu obviously didn't trust the young boy who popped up suddenly, even though Su Mu comforted him a lot, he still had a sullen face.

The two didn't deal with each other, and Xiao Shitou didn't show Mo Shu much good temper. Before leaving, he even made a few faces at others, which made Su Mu, who was in a very worried mood, dumbfounded.

If he had the opportunity, he would really like to meet Xiao Shitou's master. They all said that like a teacher, there must be a disciple, and this master must also be a dragon and phoenix among individuals.

Seeing that Xiao Shitou looked cheerful and didn't feel nervous at all, but was very curious about everything around him, Su Mu couldn't help asking the doubts in his heart: "Are you really, not worried about your master at all?"

After hearing this, Xiao Shitou was slightly taken aback, and then lowered his head to think about this question.

After a long time, he replied cautiously: "Once upon a time, when Master was trapped in the valley, when I found him, he was covered in blood, and at least... two branches were broken.——No, it was three arrows, not to mention all kinds of sword wounds, I was also afraid at the time, afraid that Master would just leave like this, and would never be with me again."

Su Mu just imagined the scene, and felt a little shocking, but Xiao Shitou raised his face slightly with a serious expression: "But at that time, Master woke up, and he healed his wound very quickly, and took meI went back, and although I lay down for a long time afterwards, it was still as usual in the end."

"At that time, I told my master that I was afraid. After thinking about it for a long time, my master told me that I never need to be afraid because of this matter." Little Shitou raised his eyes, and his eyes sparkled, "He said that after I became a real heroBefore, he would never leave, and after I become a real hero, I won’t be afraid of being separated from him.”

"so"

"The first step to becoming a hero is not to feel sad or afraid when others leave."

Su Mu looked at Xiao Shitou with an expression that was not as flawless as what he said. At least just now, he could still see the unconcealable fear in Xiao Shitou's eyes.

He sighed softly in his heart. If the child was really not worried at all, he would not have stayed in Wangjiang City for a long time. However, the current situation is not as bad as the worst situation he encountered before, so he stillIt didn't make people feel scared.

Su Mu wanted to reach out and touch the furry head in front of him, but then he realized that the man in front of him was a future hero, so he patted Xiao Shitou's shoulder to express his affirmation: "Your master makes sense, it seems that he reallyHe's a great guy!"

Xiao Shitou nodded, and immediately became proud: "Naturally, my master is amazing, so he must be fine! As long as you find him, he will definitely help you find your friend." After finishing speaking, he looked at Su Mu and blinked.Blinking his eyes, he said, "I said you were stupid before, and now I want to take it back!"

Su Mu was slightly taken aback, and Xiao Shitou explained, "Because you can understand what Master said to me, you are as smart as me, not an idiot!"

Su Mu once again didn't know how to respond to this pure compliment, so he could only nod along with Xiao Shitou's words.

"Then I would like to thank Little Stone Hero for not giving up."

Xiao Shitou's face was a little flushed because of this sentence, but he still waved his hand generously: "You're welcome!"

After following Moshu's map for a long time, Su Mu deduced a bit based on the footprints of passers-by, and the two finally saw a village in the distance.

It was the first time for Su Mu to see the stockade in the mountains. When he got closer, he realized that the stockade was much bigger than the traffickers' stronghold he had imagined.

He carefully recalled the plots of the many TV dramas he had watched before, and he couldn't help feeling a little confused about the village in front of him, which was comparable to a huge village.

It seems that in ancient times, human trafficking was not only an industry that could make huge profits, but the government did not check it very strictly. Otherwise, such a large and conspicuous cottage was only three miles away from the city.You can feel something is wrong here.

Thinking of the governor whose behavior was quite unreasonable, Su Mu couldn't help thinking of a very bad guess.

If officials and gangsters colluded together to seek benefits, then these phenomena could be fully explained.

Su Mu looked into the cottage with some worry. If Liu Xiaoran really came here to investigate this matter, and Governor Li has ulterior motives, then he is really alone and helpless. Now he and Lu Lingjue have no news at all.No, it's really worrying.

Xiao Shitou also held his breath and observed carefully. When he was with his master, he did a lot of things in ambush and sneaked into other people's base camps. Now he has accumulated a lot of experience, so after observing for a while, he stretched out his hand and tugged at Su Mu's body.Clothes, the tone is full of confidence and affirmation: "I know where to get in is the most hidden!"

Seeing old acquaintances soon!(Old acquaintances other than Liu Shaoqing and Lu Lingjue hehehe, guess what?)
