Chapter Thirty-Five Arrival at Destination

  Li Yunfei and Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to follow Ah Tu's back as they sprinted, the people on the road looked at them running, their eyes were like looking at two madmen.

  Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly and said to Li Yunfei, "The two of us are now like two madmen. Fortunately, no one knows who we are, or else we would have lost all our face."

  Just as Lu Xiaofeng and Li Yunfei were complaining, Ah Tu suddenly jumped onto a mule cart loaded with pig feed, as if he wanted to take a nap on it.

  The people in a hurry looked back at Ah Tu, but did not drive him off the donkey cart. Li Yunfei saw Lu Xiaofeng sigh and asked: "Lu Xiaofeng, why are you sighing?"

  Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but sigh and say: "No wonder people say, even the emperor doesn't work for three years. Compared to us, he's having it too easy."

  But Ah Tu was comfortable no matter what, they were uncomfortable, they had to follow behind, and couldn't fall back a single step.

  Lu Xiaofeng and Li Yunfei followed behind, their eyes scanning left and right, as if searching for something.

  Li Yunfei asked strangely: "Lu Xiaofeng, what are you looking for?"

  Lu Xiao Feng sighed, and Li Yun Fei found that the number of times Lu Xiao Feng sighed today was more than the total number of times before. So he looked at Lu Xiao Feng with a puzzled expression.

  Lü Xiao Feng said, "In the past, you would always encounter some vendors selling cold wine and beef on the side of the road. But today, I couldn't see any no matter what. Could it be that my luck is bad, not even a single vendor selling big buns?"

  Li Yunfei smiled and said, "You don't know, actually people from Lingnan Province are particular about food and drink. When eating, they look for a comfortable place to eat. Even if there are street vendors, no one buys from them, so this place doesn't have such street vendors."

  Lu Xiaofeng sighed and said: "Li Yunfei, I don't think you're hungry."

  Li Yunfei smiled and said: "I'm not hungry yet, basically I get hungry around noon."

  Lu Xiaofeng shook his head, as if trying to forget his hunger.

  The two sides of the road were originally a vast expanse of fertile land, and it was only when they arrived here that they passed by a green mountain. Ah Tu suddenly jumped off the car and ran up the slope. The trees on the mountain were lush and cool, and Ah Tu may have dozed off in the car for a while, so he was very spirited.

  Li Yunfei found that this beggar named A Tu had a surprisingly good lightness skill and soon reached the top of the mountain.

  Upon reaching the mountain top, a fragrance suddenly wafted down with the wind, seemingly like the aroma of braised mutton. At this moment, Li Yunfei saw a group of beggars drinking and eating meat. When they saw Ah Tu approaching, someone laughed and said: "Consider yourself lucky, we just stole a fat sheep from the foot of the mountain. We're having a feast here. Since you've run into us, come join in for a meal!"

  He walked over with a big laugh and said, "It seems that I have been very lucky with food these past few days, wherever I go there is delicious food."

  Lu Xiaofeng watched as Ah Tu ate the mutton, but was afraid that among this group of beggars there were people under Gong Sun's command, so he didn't dare to go over. He could only pull Li Yunfei to hide behind a large rock and watch others eat mutton.

  Just as Lu Xiaofeng was staring at the beggars eating mutton, Li Yunfei pretended to pull out from his clothes, but actually took out several large buns and a package of beef from his storage ring, and started eating.

  Lu Xiaofeng turned his head and saw Li Yunfei eating beef, then pulled Li Yunfei and asked: "Where did you get this beef and big pancake?"

  Li Yunfei said: "Have you forgotten? When you took Jin Jiuling to see a doctor, I went out for a trip, and that's when I bought it."

  Lu Xiaofeng's eyes widened and he pulled Li Yunfei along, saying: "Then... why didn't you take it out earlier?"

  Li Yunfei innocently said: "I'm not hungry, why take it out."

  Lu Xiaofeng seemed to have gone mad, saying: "You... you... you're not hungry, I'm starving, if you have something, take it out and let me eat!"

  Li Yunfei looked at Lu Xiaofeng, feeling embarrassed, then said: "You didn't ask me if I wanted any. If you don't ask me if I've eaten, of course I won't say anything. Can you blame me?"

  Lu Xiaofeng snatched the beef and grabbed a large pancake, shoving it into his mouth as if he were a starving ghost devouring food. While eating, he said: "Delicious... cough... cough. Never had such delicious pancakes and beef before. Too delicious."

  Li Yunfei laughed and said, "I finally saw Lu Xiaofeng get his comeuppance. I've been waiting for this for a long time. It turns out that starving Lu Xiaofeng for just one day can make him like this. It's so satisfying."

  Lu Xiaofeng looked at Li Yunfei with a mixture of helplessness and annoyance, asking: "Is there any wine?"

  Li Yunfei looked at Lu Xiaofeng who was eating and drinking, and said with a shrug: "We are here to investigate the case, not to have a vacation. Where can I hide liquor on my body?"

  Lu Xiaofeng said: "No wine is fine, water will do."

  Li Yunfei smiled and said: "Lu Xiaofeng, you've become smarter!" After finishing speaking, he took out a bag of water from his body and handed it to Lu Xiaofeng.

  Lu Xiaofeng looked at Li Yunfei and said: "You have everything."

  Li Yunfei smiled and didn't say a word, he was already very happy that he had fooled Lu Xiaofeng today, thinking of telling the story to Huamanlou and others, Li Yunfei couldn't help but sneak a smile again.

  Then Li Yunfei also started grabbing the beef and flatbread from Lu Xiaofeng's hands. After the two of them ate their fill, Ah Tu still hadn't eaten enough. It wasn't until Ah Tu finally ate his fill that he thanked those beggars and left down the mountain.

  When they reached the middle of the mountain, Ah Tu suddenly stopped and took out a yellow package from his tattered sack. He let out a long sigh and muttered to himself: "Luckily these things weren't stolen by those thieves, or else my head would be in trouble."

  Ah Tu looked at the yellow bundle and put it back, and surprisingly went down the mountain along the original route.

  Lu Xiaofeng said in surprise: "What's going on with this Ah Tu, actually wandering around everywhere, could he have been discovered?"

  Li Yunfei laughed and said, "This is impossible. Ah Tu doesn't have such a high level of skill. You should know that when someone has an important secret mission, no matter if there's anyone following him or not, he will intentionally make some mysterious moves."

  Lu Xiaofeng was very pleased with this explanation and followed Ah Tu's back to continue tracking. Sure enough, when they reached the foot of the mountain, Ah Tu's actions became much more normal.

  After walking for about half a time, I arrived at the city and also strolled around two big circles in the city. I walked into a restaurant and then came out from the back door of the restaurant. Suddenly turned into an alley, there was only one door in the alley. It was the side gate of a wealthy family's backyard.

  He seemed to have returned home, entering without knocking on the door. Moreover, he was very familiar with the paths in the garden, turning three times and passing through a patch of flowers, walking over a small bridge, and arriving at a small building facing the lotus pond. The upstairs was lit up. It wasn't until then that Li Yunfei and the others realized that it had already become dusk.

  After dusk, the sunset is thin. The lamp on the small building is shining brightly, but no human voice can be heard, and there isn't even a child answering the door.

  Atu didn't even knock on the door and went straight upstairs. In the elegant room upstairs, there was no one in sight, but a table of exquisite wine and dishes was set up.

  Lu Xiaofeng pulled Li Yunfei and said: "It seems that his mouth is really lucky, and indeed, no matter where he goes, there are good things to eat."

  Although no one was there, nine sets of chopsticks were already laid out on the table. Ah Tu sat down, picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of drunken chicken. He shook his head again, put it down, took out the yellow cloth package from the hemp sack behind him, placed it on the table, and muttered: "I didn't expect to be the first one here again this time."

  He was obviously waiting for someone, but who? Was it Madame Gongsun? Li Yunfei knew, but Lu Xiaofeng did not.

  Opposite the small building, there is a large ginkgo tree with dense shade like a canopy, directly facing the window on the upper floor.

  Lu Xiaofeng and Li Yunfei slipped up from behind the tree like a gecko, found a place with the densest leaves to hide. The sky was very dark. Even if someone came to the window to take a look, they would never discover them. Now Ah Tu had finally reached the end of his tether and wouldn't play any more tricks.

  Li Yunfei was just about to catch his breath and calm down. Suddenly, the sound of clothes rustling in the wind rose up. A figure flew over the treetops like a swallow, and "Delicate Chest Flipping Clouds" had already slipped into the small building.

  "What a beautiful movement and what a handsome lightness!" Lu Xiaofeng immediately widened his eyes again, unable to help but exclaim.

  But Li Yunfei found that this person was not Gong Sun Dainiang, and although his lightness skill was excellent, it was still somewhat inferior to Gong Sun Dainiang's. However, compared to him, it was naturally stronger.
