Time flies and it’s the Lantern Festival.

People have long since recovered from the New Year atmosphere. Except for occasionally seeing students in convenience stores who are reluctant to go to school, things are the same as usual.

"Mr. Li? I have your express delivery."

"It's me, just leave it by the door."

The courier boy put a long box next to the door with great difficulty:

"What is it, so heavy?"

Li Chengqi smiled and said nothing, and the courier boy just asked casually. Seeing that Li Chengqi was too lazy to say anything, he just got on the electric tricycle and continued delivering the goods.

The computer screen at the cashier showed that Yang Yiyi was taking a boat.

Now that she decided to verify the list, Yang Yiyi made some preparations, said goodbye to Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping, and got on the boat bound for the south to go down the river.

The person she wanted to confirm was a senior sister named Zhang Hongyu who had been married three years ago. At that time, she was said to have married to Wuzhou, south of Liuzhou. However, three years later, no one had received a letter from her.

In the past, I only thought that it might be that the road was too far and it was difficult to deliver letters, but after experiencing the incident of being sent to the Liu family to be used as a furnace by the master, it is difficult to say the whereabouts of this senior sister.

It takes about a week to take a boat down the river to Wuzhou, so the distance is not too far or too close.

After seven days on the boat, Li Chengqi, who returned behind the cash register shortly after dawn, saw the large passenger ship docking.

Zhang Hongyu lives in Wanghai City in Wuzhou, which is exactly where the ship docks. You can go directly after getting off the ship.

It is indeed not a trouble. Yang Yiyi plans to go and see the situation, and then write a letter to He Ling to report it, and the matter will be settled.

Stepping on the wooden board and stepping off the boat, Yang Yiyi shrank her neck.

The temperature in the south is higher than that in the north, but the humidity is high, and a damp and cold air penetrates the neck.

People were already coming and going on the pier early in the morning, and boatmen busy unloading and loading ships were everywhere.

Li Chengqi picked up the microphone and said to Yang Yiyi when no one was paying attention:

"You find a secluded place, I have something for you."

Originally, the most private room was her own room in the cabin, but the timing was unlucky. Li Chengqi's express delivery had just arrived, and Yang Yiyi's had just disembarked.

She obediently followed the flow of people at the pier, found an alley that was empty of people and full of debris, and walked in in a few steps.

Li Chengqi used a utility knife to cut open the carton. The first thing he saw were two black metal rods, and there were two leather cases beside them that could fit them in nicely.

These two rod-shaped objects are completely black, have threads on them, have edges without edges, and are extremely thick. The temporary welded handguard is made of pure copper, and a layer of cloth is wrapped around the lower grip to make it suitable for gripping.

Some are similar to steel whips or steel maces, edged but not edged, and cannot be used by those who are not extremely strong.

But actually, the main body of this thing is two HB400 rebars...

Modern metallurgical technology is not comparable to that of ancient people. In modern times, ancient magical weapons can be wholesaled for you, and you can make as many as you want.

Rebar was originally used to build buildings. It has super hardness and toughness, and is also very wear-resistant.

Isn't this a powerful weapon?

So Li Chengqi found an online seller of custom-made collectible swords and asked them if he could make a mace out of rebar. The seller thought Li Chengqi was going to use this thing to make a video and didn’t even ask. It's done with effort.

Even if this thing is not sharpened, it is enough to crack someone's head in one blow, which is just right for Yang Yiyi, who has high bones and muscles.

Yang Yiyi also waved it a few times and felt that it was quite handy.

It can be said that unless something unscientific is mixed in, the mace made of rebar is enough for her to walk sideways.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Yang Yiyi has never learned how to use a steel mace, but she has learned how to use the Flying Knife.

As I said at the beginning, this swordsmanship does not necessarily require the use of a knife. You can also use two sticks. Of course, two maces are also fine.

She played with it in the deserted alley for a while, and she liked it very much. She put on the leather holster and carried it behind her back, just like a Ninja Turtle...

But this is not the main purpose. Let's go to her senior sister Zhang Hongyu first.

He Ling's letter mentioned Liu Hongyu's address. Yang Yiyi walked out of the pier and asked passers-by for a while, and soon came to a residential house.

The houses in this area all have courtyards with second entrances. The people who live here are not necessarily wealthy, but they must be middle class.

Yang Yiyi met a vegetable seller at the intersection and asked her about Zhang Hongyu's location.

At this time, light snow started to fall in the sky. Yang Yiyi walked to the door and knocked twice. Seeing that no one answered the door, she knocked twice more:

"Is there anyone?"

After waiting for a while, no one answered the door.

Yang Yiyi was a little suspicious that she was looking in the wrong place. At this time, Li Chengqi said:

"Something's wrong, no one has lived here for a long time."

"I got the wrong address?"

Li Chengqi lowered his voice and said;

"Look at the large patch of dust on the steps in front of the door. Except for the one you just stepped on, there are no other footprints at all."

If someone lived in it, it would be impossible to accumulate so much dust without cleaning it. Even if you are too lazy to clean it, you still have to leave the door, right?

"I estimate that no one has lived there for at least a month or two. Look at the dust on the door shaft. There is no trace of movement at all."

Yang Yiyi took two steps back and asked:

"Brother Li, what do you think?"

"Either He Ling gave me the wrong address, or something happened to you, Senior Sister Zhang, and your family."

But when I asked someone just now, it seems that nothing special happened. In other words, although this family has not appeared for a long time, no one has died or anything like that.

"Go in and take a look. Maybe there are some clues."

Yang Yiyi looked around and saw that no one noticed her. She jumped over the wall and flew in.

The first thing that caught my eye when I entered the second door was the firewood room. There was still a lot of firewood piled in it. It seemed that this family left suddenly. If they left with a plan, they would not buy so much firewood.

Pushing open another door, the door of the inner courtyard was not locked. This time, three large tiled houses could be seen. The courtyard in the middle was full of fallen leaves that no one had cleaned up.

Li Chengxi zoomed in the camera and took a close look at the courtyard.

"There are no signs of people stepping on the fallen leaves on the ground. Judging from the amount, it is estimated that it has been one or two months."

After all, a large number of fallen leaves will fall after autumn, which at least means that this family left before autumn.

Li Chengxi asked Yang Yiyi to avoid the fallen leaves and not leave any traces, and continued to move forward and enter one of the rooms.

This room was for living, and the furniture and other things were still complete. Yang Yiyi reached out and touched the dust on it, which was about the same thickness as the dust seen at the door.

Opening the wardrobe, there were still a lot of clothes in it. The family might have left in a hurry, taking only some gold and silver and leaving, instead of moving normally.

However, after looking around, there was no clue to prove where the family went. Yang Yiyi walked out of this room and turned to the room on the left side of the yard.

This should be a guest room, and it seems that there are not many signs of use.

At this moment, Yang Yiyi heard the sound of breaking wind coming from above.

Looking up, I saw a man in black swooping down from the beam like a swallow!
