Wei Wuzhang nodded, then shook his head again, "It's not appropriate to say it's a treasure. This is the inheritance left by the master to the young master. Everyone who sees the treasure has a share, but the inheritance belongs to the young master alone."

Xue Mu asked: "What kind of ink is used to write the words on the white linen cloth? Why has it not faded even after so many years?"

Wei Wuzhang said: "It was exclusively developed by our Wei family, and we didn't choose a special name. In the past, it was used to record family trees. The usual ink should fade after three to five years. Our ink can last for three to fifty years."

Xue Mu nodded, and asked again: "How do you know I'm here?"

Wei Wuzhang said: "Slave..." Xue Mu interrupted, "Don't call yourself like that, it sounds awkward, we are of the same generation, we just need to be brothers."

Wei Wuzhang nodded gratefully, "I didn't know you were here, brother Xue. I saw you when I turned around on the official road a few days ago. You and the master were carved out of the same mold. My master was also famous back then. Guan Jinghua is a suave and suave person. Not many people can match that appearance, so when I saw you, I thought you must be my young master. It's just that I haven't seen you for many years, and I feel guilty of misidentifying you. Laimao came forward rashly and was also worried that you thought I had bad intentions. Thirdly, I was also afraid that if I confessed to the wrong person, I explained the reason clearly, and the other party became greedy, so I misunderstood the mistake, so how can I be right, master His spirit in heaven!"

After talking and crying, Wei Wuzhang felt a little parched, Xue Mu pushed the tea hanger towards him, Wei Wuzhang thanked him, added some tea soup into the cup, picked it up to moisten his throat, and continued: , "So I followed you for a few days, and I couldn't hold back that day, so I wanted to pretend to be interested in your beauty, and try it out first, who knew that the moment I opened my mouth, I asked Brother Lin to talk nonsense I interrupted. Then I mentioned my name, mentioned that you resembled an old friend, and wanted to find out about you, who knew nothing about you, so I came up with the idea of ​​peeking at you to change clothes and inspecting your shoulders Whether there is a clumsy strategy of stamping, it is really a joke, a joke!"

Lin Lizhi said: "If you want to know, you can ask directly. Why do you have to make such a big detour to kick someone for fun? You ask if there is a birthmark on the shoulder, and you will be cheated."

Wei Wuzhang replied: "I have been searching around for these years, and I always think I have found some clues, but I am always disappointed in the end. Besides, it involves the old affairs of the previous dynasty, and I am afraid that the officials will be watched if the movement is too big. Just ask straight to the point, and I am worried about you Thinking that I have other plans and perfunctory me with lies, so I made this bad plan."

Xue Mu asked, "Did you claim your surname to outsiders?"

Wei Wuzhang said with a smile: "The young master is indeed very intelligent, and he is as heroic as the old master."

Lin Lizhi was anxious to hear the story, so he rolled his eyes, "Stop flattering, explain the reason clearly before talking about anything else."

Su Wei reprimanded: "Don't be rude."

Lin Lizhi shut his mouth angrily.

Wei Wuzhang helped him out, "Brother Lin's true nature and affection are really heart-warming." Then he continued to explain, "Wei Wuzhang is the name given to me by the master. I used to be a beggar on the street. I was naked, fighting wild dogs for food, being cast aside and looked down upon by others. One day I was so hungry that I stole steamed buns from the steamed bun shop, and was beaten to death, and then thrown on the corner of the street like a piece of rag When I was dying and dying, the passing master saw that I was pitiful, took me in, treated my wounds, fed me and clothed me warmly, and from then on I vowed to die for the master! Later, when I was traveling north and south to do business, The late emperor is still alive, and he is still ordering people to look for the orphan of the Wei family, I was worried that he was really here for the master's property as the rumors said, and I was worried that I would be caught in the investigation, so I changed a fake surname."

Xue Mu said again: "Your medicinal materials got water in the backyard yesterday, right?"

Wei Wuzhang nodded, "It's my medicinal material. I was sitting in the corner of the lobby yesterday. I saw your every move. The more I looked at it, the more I felt that it was closely similar to the old man's voice and smile. When I was emotional, I went forward. I revealed my real name and wanted to test it out. In fact, I didn’t know it at the time. You were still a baby, even if I hugged you, coaxed you, and said my name in front of you, how could you remember it? The backyard called me, I was worried that you would know that I had another pseudonym, and thought that what I said was false, so I took a long detour to the backyard, but you still noticed it."

Wei Wuzhang was wearing brand-new clothes, his head and face were washed clean, without the oily shine on the other end, he looked clean and refreshed, which made people look amiable. When he glanced over, he thought it was some pampered young master.However, there are a few strands of youthful whiteness between the temples, the premature hair and the occasional vicissitudes of fatigue revealed between the eyebrows and eyes, all revealing that he has not been easy in these years.

Xue Mu said sincerely: "You have worked hard all these years."

Wei Wuzhang held Xue Mu's hand and said: "No hard work! If the master hadn't saved my life back then, I'm afraid I would have become a lonely ghost that would not be accepted by the underworld. The kindness of Yongquan, I will never regret it , all of this is what I should do, and it is what I am willing to do.”

Wei Wuzhang held Xue Mu's hand tightly, Su Wei knew in such a situation that he shouldn't be caught, but he still frowned involuntarily, but he couldn't hold back Xue Mu's hand after all.

Xue Mu glanced at Su Wei, shook Wei Wuzhang with his backhand as a comfort, then withdrew his hand and said: "My father saved you back then, and he probably didn't expect anything in return. Most people in the world hold grudges easily, remember people Kindness is difficult, so many years have passed, you can always think about it, it is really a gentleman! I thank you on behalf of my father!"

Wei Wuzhang's tears were about to fall again, he hurriedly took out a handkerchief to tuck it in, and then took out a white cloth from his bosom, handed it to Xue Mu and said, "This is what the master left for you, which is what the outsiders say is hidden. Baotu, now it’s back to its original owner, go and find your own property when you’re free.”

Lin Lizhi snatched the white cloth and twirled it with his fingers, "Treasure map? Isn't this a white cloth? Are you kidding us?"

Wei Wuzhang hurriedly said: "Don't dare! Don't dare! If I speak half a lie again, call me..."

Lin Lizhi hurriedly said, "I'm telling you that you will die if you are struck by lightning, right? Can you have something new?"

Su Wei couldn't bear it anymore, stretched out his hand to pull the treasure map, and knocked Lin Lizhi's forehead hard with the fan handle.Lin Lizhi lay on the table with his mouth pursed, pretending to be very obedient, and remained silent.

Xue Mu said to Wei Wuzhang: "Junior brother likes to play around with others, Wu Zhang, don't be too careful."

Wei Wuzhang hurriedly said: "No! No! Brother Lin has a young heart and is very likable." Then he continued to explain the treasure map, "This map has been processed in a special way, and it is not a whole piece. , but only half of it, and the other half, the master said it was for a close friend surnamed Du, but I was very scared at the time, the three souls lost seven souls, and the master only remembered half of what he said. Over time, I have forgotten a lot, I only remember that there is a person named Du, I only know the surname, I don’t know who, and I have forgotten where I live, I am really ashamed of the master’s entrustment!"

When Wei Wuzhang said this, he felt heartbroken and angry, and Xue Mu hurriedly comforted him: "Wuzhang, you were a young boy back then, and it is quite admirable to be able to do this. Belittle yourself!"

Wei Wuzhang thanked him gratefully, and said again: "I only know that he is a friend with the surname Du, and I generally remember that he is from Jiangnan, but I forgot the more specific information."

Xue Mudao: "That's a coincidence, I happened to grow up in the Du family of Jiangnan Yujian Villa, and the owner's name is Du Yuanfeng."

Wei Wuzhang said in amazement: "Could it be that the old friend of the old man learned that the old man was killed, and specially took you back to take care of you?!"

Xue Mu shook his head, "No, it's probably just a coincidence that my surname is Du. I was adopted by Master Xue Yan, not Du. When Master picked me up outside the gate of the courtyard, I had a letter in my arms. The general idea is that the kidnapper brought me here and wanted to sell it for some money, but I didn't know that this place is full of wars and famines, and there are many children and daughters. How can I buy a strange child here? The kidnapper saw that I couldn’t exchange money, so he left me by the side of the road. A woman saw that I was pitiful, so she picked me up and brought me home, but she couldn’t afford to support me, so she threw me in front of my master’s door, my master adopted me."

Wei Wuzhang said indignantly: "Master entrusted you to that farmer. If they don't want to, it would be fine if they refused early in the morning. Why did they accept it reluctantly, and then trafficked you into a kidnapper?!" After thinking for a while, he said angrily, " It must be the piece of suet white jade that the master gave them!"

Xue Mu shook his head, "It's not necessarily that they trafficked me to a kidnapper, or maybe a kidnapper stole me. Don't wrong a good person. Anyway, you and I are sitting face to face right now. Those old lawsuits, Don't mention it."

With tears in his eyes, Wei Wuzhang nodded, "Master, you are worthy of being the master's blood relative. This Bodhisattva heart is really exactly the same."

He wiped his tears, took a sip of tea, and said, "This blueprint has been treated with a special potion. It usually looks like a white cloth. In fact, it won't be damaged by fire or washed. Even if you write on it with ink, put it in hot Soak the ink in the water, dry it, and it will be a brand new one, which will not harm the map drawn on it at all. The master said a lot of things back then, some of which I can’t remember, but this matter I Remember, if you want to make the drawings on the white cloth active, you have to go to the descendants of Huayang Jun and the Jiang family."

Xue Mu put the white cloth in his hand and looked at the sky outside, but he didn't see any traces, it was just an ordinary white cloth.

Wei Wuzhang said: "I will return this blueprint to the original owner, but..." He seemed to find it difficult to be a human being, but finally he said, "Master Wei is the only seedling in the family. Please return this matter of spreading incense." You think about it more."

As soon as Wei Wuzhang said this, Su Wei's face immediately changed.
