Siheyuan: Garbage King

Chapter 33 The Cheng Sisters

Li Fang was lucky. He saw Shen Xiaozheng after get off work just halfway there. The two hit it off and Shen Xiaozheng dropped him off at his home.

"It's really inconvenient without a car," Shen Xiaozheng said.

Li Fang nodded and said: "When I have free time in a few days, no matter whether it is new or old, I will also get a car."

Although he is rich now, he still has no suitable source of money. He can only buy daily necessities. Buying such a big item will inevitably arouse suspicion.

If you get into trouble by then, it won't be worth it.

He had to find a suitable and aboveboard reason.

The two of them pushed the cart into the yard. The old lady was receiving guests in the house. When she saw Shen Xiaozheng coming, she said hello to him through the window.

"Grandma, Li Fang is here, I'll take him to find my brother." Shen Xiaozheng shouted loudly.

Li Fang also waved to the old lady through the window.

In the room, sitting on the sofa opposite the old lady, were two young girls, both wearing green military uniforms and looking pretty.

"Xiao Zheng has changed recently, and he has a smile on his face." said the girl with a mole at the corner of her eye. She is Cheng Xiaomu, Shen Xiaoyi's blind date.

The Cheng family and the Shen family have a good relationship, and Cheng Xiaomu and the old lady are as close as grandparents, so they call Shen Xiaozheng as affectionately as their own younger brother.

When the old lady heard that her grandson had changed for the better, she was very happy. She said slowly: "This child has caused Xiao Yi to worry a lot. Thanks to Xiao Yi as a brother."

Cheng Xiaomu pursed her lips and smiled. When she heard Shen Xiaoyi's name, her eyes lit up and she said, "Last time I borrowed a book from Brother Xiaoyi, but I haven't returned it to him yet. I'll go find him later."

The old lady smiled, patted the girl's hand and said, "If what he says doesn't please you, please be more considerate and give me, this old lady, some face."

Before Cheng Xiaomu could speak, the girl sitting next to him interrupted: "It's okay, Grandma Shen. My sister is not afraid of this. She is afraid that Brother Shen will ignore her."

When Cheng Xiaomu heard his sister's words, his face suddenly turned red.

"Shut up, you are not big or small." Cheng Xiaomu glared at his sister and said.

The old lady liked these two sisters very much. She was very happy to see the two sisters playing around. She also had a sister before, but she passed away at a young age. This was also a regret in the old lady's heart.

Cheng Xiaomu's younger sister is called Cheng Xiaolin. She is just seventeen this year and has just joined the art troupe. She is usually lively and not shy when meeting anyone.

Her skin was three points paler than her sister's, and she had been a beauty since she was a child. Her father's comrades said that Lao Cheng, a tall and thick warrior, could actually give birth to such a pair of beautiful sisters.

Who cares about it?

"By the way, Grandma Shen, who was that next to Shen Xiaozheng just now? Why haven't I seen him before?" Cheng Xiaolin asked curiously.

The girl's voice is crisp and sounds very pleasant.

The old lady smiled and introduced: "He is a colleague of Xiaoyi and Xiaozheng. He is a friend. He is a very good kid."

Cheng Xiaolin said oh, but Cheng Xiaomu on the side asked with some worry: "Grandma Shen, I heard that something happened to Xiaozheng two days ago. I don't know... If there is anything I need to help, you can Just tell us."

Although Shen Xiaoyi tried his best not to reveal anything about Shen Xiaozheng, after all, there is no airtight wall in the world, and this matter cannot be kept secret forever.

The old lady smiled and said: "It's no big deal, I'll leave it all to Xiao Yi. Don't worry."

Cheng Xiaomu nodded. She wanted to say something else, but the old lady took out a book and discussed the contents of the book with them.

Cheng Xiaomu's mind quickly turned to the book.

Cheng Xiaolin on the side looked thoughtful when she saw this.

...

In the study, Shen Xiaoyi tapped his fingers on the table, closed his eyes and thought about what he had just read.

Li Fang also sat on the opposite side of the table, still holding the paper in the envelope.

On this paper is a simple map.

Before he opened the envelope, he thought that it might contain a big-eyed letter or something like a deposit slip, but he still didn't expect the map.

The map is very crudely drawn. The reason why you can tell it is a map is because the word map is directly marked on it.

But Li Fang really didn't know where this place was, and he had no idea what the map meant.

Could it be that this thing is a treasure map?

Shen Xiaoyi rubbed his fingers on the table and analyzed: "This place may not be in the capital, and the picture may not be painted by him."

Li Fang nodded and acknowledged: "Big Eye is from the capital and is very familiar with this area. There is no need to deliberately draw a map for himself. Unless someone else drew this map for him."

Shen Xiaoyi took out a piece of paper from the drawer, compared it with the handwriting on the map, and said, "It's not a big-eyed calligraphy."

The big-eyed characters are written crookedly, but the characters on the map have obviously been practiced, and anyone with a discerning eye can see them.

Li Fang thought for a moment and said, "Could it be the meeting place?"

He picked up the map, pointed to the distance marked on it, and said, "These numbers may be their secret."

He didn't know much about this and just made a basic guess.

Shen Xiaoyi smiled and said: "I thought you would think this is a treasure map, maybe there are good things hidden in it by Big Eyes."

Li Fang paused and said, "I can't tell for sure. Big Eyes is really hard to guess."

His words spoke to Shen Xiaoyi's heart.

Shen Xiaoyi sighed: "I can't deal with a big-eyed guy. My old man is right. I do have a big eye but a weak hand."

In the past, he thought that he had read more books than me and was complacent, but later he realized that he was still far behind.

The practice is still not deep enough.

At this time, Shen Xiaozheng came over with a large pot of tea.

"Why, I haven't researched anything yet." He was not interested in this kind of mental activity, so he simply stopped and joined in.

Shen Xiaoyi looked at his younger brother and suddenly asked, "Have the Cheng family left?"

He had been hiding in the study just now, and he also deliberately avoided the two sisters, especially Cheng Xiaomu.

It’s not that he hates the other person, but he simply feels that dealing with this kind of relationship makes him feel bored, so he might as well take the time to learn more.

Shen Xiaozheng smiled.

He gloated and said: "No, grandma has left someone to eat. I said you have something to deal with and you have to deal with it for a while. However, they may come to the study to find you in a while."

Shen Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the first half of the sentence, but his eyes narrowed when he heard the second half.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a knock on the door from outside.

"Brother Xiaoyi, is it convenient? I want to return the book to you." It was Cheng Xiaomu's voice.

Shen Xiaoyi quickly stood up and opened the door for the girl.

In the corner, Li Fang and Shen Xiaozheng were drinking tea and waiting to watch the show.

After welcoming the Cheng sisters in, Cheng Xiaomu discovered that there were Shen Xiaozheng and Li Fang in the room.

She quickly greeted the two of them: "Xiao Zheng, and this comrade, hello."

Shen Xiaozheng and Li Fang stood up, and Li Fang called out to Miss Mu along with Shen Xiaozheng.

Anyway, I am young, and everyone in front of me looks older than me, so it is right to call me sister.

"Here, have a cup of tea." In order to ease the embarrassment, Shen Xiaoyi brought two cups of tea and placed them in front of the two sisters.

Cheng Xiaolin took the tea with a smile, took a sip and said, "Brother Shen, your tea is pretty good, much better than mine."

Shen Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Then take some back with you when you leave."

Cheng Xiaolin nodded: "The dried dates you got last time were also delicious. Do you have any more? I'll have some more."

She is not like her sister Cheng Xiaomu, who is at a loss when seeing Shen Xiaoyi. She really treats Shen Xiaoyi as an older brother and has not been merciless in handling things since she was a child.

Shen Xiaoyi said generously: "Yes, I will send you some when I have time. There are also chestnuts and other things. You and your sister can share them."

In fact, the Cheng family does not lack this thing, but when Cheng Xiaolin said these words, she did not treat him as an outsider. After all, only if they have a good relationship can they behave like this.

At this time, Cheng Xiaolin also noticed Shen Xiaozheng and Li Fang in the corner, saw them holding a piece of paper, and approached them curiously.

"What is this?" the girl blinked and asked curiously.

Shen Xiaozheng shook his head and waved his hands: "Don't ask me, you know I'm uneducated."

Cheng Xiaolin hissed and curled her lips: "Then you should study more."

Shen Xiaozheng scratched his head and paused: "I'll find you some melon seeds and peanuts to eat."

He couldn't afford to offend her, and he couldn't afford to hide from her. He just didn't want to argue with a little girl.

Over there, as soon as Shen Xiaozheng left, Cheng Xiaolin's eyes focused on Li Fang. Li Fang said to her: "A map, but I don't know where it is. Maybe it's a treasure map."

When Cheng Xiaolin heard about the treasure map, she smiled: "If it's real or fake, let me take a look. I haven't seen the treasure map yet."

The girl smiles with picturesque eyebrows and is very cute.

Li Fang handed the picture to her and said, "Then please invite an expert to take a look at this picture."

Cheng Xiaolin said with a smile: "I'm not an expert, I just like to join in the fun."

She looked at the map carefully and said, "The person who drew this picture is on the beach."

Li Fang groaned and looked at Cheng Xiaolin curiously: "Why would an expert say this?"

Cheng Xiaolin rubbed her fingers, pointed at the map and said: "I have lived in Jincheng with my mother since I was a child, and I am very familiar with the smell there. And, you see, there are traces of salt on it. If I am not wrong, this is Sea salt, its particles are larger.”

Li Fang's eyes lit up. If Cheng Xiaolin's feeling is correct, then it is very likely that the person who gave Da Yan'er this picture is in Jincheng. After all, Jincheng is the only one in Da Yan'er's resume that he has been to and has interacted with him. seaside city.

Relating to Da Yan'er's previous experience, Li Fang suddenly felt that there was no way out despite the mountains and rivers, and there was a bright future in another village.

But there is not salt everywhere on the beach. This person may live in a place closely related to salt.

It might be a place where salt is made, or it might be a place where salt is sold.

At this time, Shen Xiaoyi also noticed the conversation between Cheng Xiaolin and Li Fang.

He walked to Cheng Xiaolin and couldn't wait to ask the doubts in his heart.
