Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

Yu Congcong replied: "Yes, his eyes are so sharp, I feel like he knows everything. We have to keep an eye on him, after all, he is Heizi's son, and it would be bad if he finds out we are following Heizi."

"Well, let's go too. There shouldn't be any left."

"Okay, let's go." Tiezhu took Yu Congcong and walked out of the yard.

Su Mingrui walked to a hidden spot at the intersection and watched them walk away. Then he turned and walked into the small path in the forest, and his figure disappeared in an instant like a monkey. Yu Congcong must have been surprised to see this. Such a young child was so agile, and it was obvious that he had been trained.

Su Mingrui stopped at the northern slope of the mountain wall, looked around, and after confirming that no one was there, he headed towards his master's residence. When he arrived in front of the wooden door, he knocked on it rhythmically, three long and two short. The door opened, and a 1.8-meter-tall, energetic old man stepped out. His facial features were clear and his expression was solemn and serious. He had a slight limp in his left leg, and it was a little laborious for him to walk.

"Mingrui, didn't you come here in the morning? Why are you here again now? Have you found anything?" the old man asked.

"Master, I noticed that there is a big tree on the hillside behind Huang Mazi's house. If you climb up the tree, you can see the entire east side of the village, especially the place where Aunt Yun had the accident." Su Mingrui said.

"Oh." The old man fell into deep thought after hearing this. Su Mingrui waited quietly. He was used to this kind of master who was lame in his left leg but still energetic. After a while, the old man said, "Go and give your senior brother a signal to ask him to come over."

"No need, senior brother will be here soon." Su Mingrui replied with a smile.

"Oh." The old man looked at Su Mingrui with a puzzled look.

"Master, you will know it soon." Su Mingrui said.

"Okay, now that we have this kung fu, let's practice." After saying that, he quickly attacked.

Seeing this, Su Mingrui did not dare to be negligent, and dodged the master's attack skillfully. He knew the master's strength very well. Although the master had a limp in his left leg, he was still very agile.

The master's moves were fierce and varied, and each move contained deep internal strength. Su Mingrui responded with a flexible posture, sometimes fighting in close combat, and sometimes probing from a distance.

The master and the disciple fought back and forth, neither of them giving in. As their fists and palms collided, crisp sounds were heard.

Su Mingrui gradually adapted to the rhythm of his master's attack and began to fight back. His moves became more and more skillful, echoing his master's offensive.

A trace of admiration flashed in the master's eyes, and his hands moved faster and faster. He skillfully used the power of his left leg and coordinated the movements of his upper body, making it difficult for Su Mingrui to figure out.

In the fierce competition, both the master and the apprentice felt each other's progress and growth. Their cooperation became more and more tacit, as if they were in tune with each other.

Finally, the master pushed Su Mingrui back a few steps with a clever push. Su Mingrui bowed and saluted with an expression of admiration on his face.

"Master, I lost." Su Mingrui said dejectedly.

"Mingrui has made great progress. When the master was your age, he was still standing in horse stance and practicing his lower body." The master praised. After hearing the master's praise, his face was full of joy. Dong...dong...dong...dong...dong. There was a familiar knock on the door, and Su Mingrui said, "Master, it's my senior brother." He ran to open the door, and it was indeed Yu Dazhuang. Yu Dazhuang said excitedly, "Mingrui, you are here too! Where is the master?" "The master is inside." Su Mingrui responded with a smile. Yu Dazhuang: "Let's go in and talk."

"Master, look, this is what Cong Cong found." Yu Dazhuang said proudly.

"Oh, Congcong is so amazing." The master praised. Yu Dazhuang looked proud.

"Come, let's take a quick look to see what the clue is." The master quickly took the leaf handed over by Yu Dazhuang, his eyes anxious. "Well. Mingrui, come and take a look." Yu Dazhuang waved to Mingrui while speaking. The master quickly took the oil lamp, lit it, and carefully examined the leaves one by one in front of the oil lamp. "Dazhuang, take a note quickly." The master ordered Yu Dazhuang without raising his head. "This is, in, Wang, Fu, house, behind, Huang, Jin, Shan, Ao." The master read the words one by one in front of the oil lamp, his voice low and firm. Then, he raised his head and continued, "Dazhuang, bring the leaf from yesterday." "Okay," Dazhuang turned and walked quickly into the room, came to a cabinet, squatted down, rummaged in the bamboo basket under the cabinet for a while, then walked out with the leaf and quickly handed it to the master. The master took the leaf and said softly to the oil lamp, "The word 'Yun' should refer to Yunniang. Mingrui just said that from a big tree on the hillside behind Huangmazi's house, you can see the place where Yunniang had the accident clearly."

"Then the sentence is, the gold is in the valley behind Wang Fu's house!" Yu Dazhuang was furious, his eyes were spitting fire, his fists were clenched, and he shouted fiercely. He stood up and walked out the door. Seeing this, Su Mingrui rushed up, grabbed him tightly, and said anxiously: "Brother, don't be impulsive! It's too late for you to go now. Don't worry, he can't run away. The master has already sent a message to the informant, and someone will follow him. One or two days will not be a big deal." After listening to Su Mingrui's words, Yu Dazhuang's body slowly relaxed. He bit his lip, but he was still indignant. He waved his fist and hit the air hard a few times.

"Master, what should we do next?" Yu Dazhuang asked after calming himself down.

"We can only wait until Fourth Uncle and the others get out. You and the Fu family should control their families after they get out. Don't let them run away, and don't let others harm them." said the master.

"They will probably wait until after the summer harvest before going out. We need to be patient now," the master analyzed.

"Yeah." Yu Dazhuang and Su Mingrui responded in unison.

"Mingrui, you and your mother have to be careful and not reveal any flaws. I can't quite figure out Heizi. He's really weird. I feel he's even more dangerous than Fourth Uncle. You must be careful." The master said carefully.

"Yes, Master, we will be careful." Su Mingrui answered, and then said: "Master, Cong Cong is asking about Heizi's whereabouts."

"Oh, what does that little girl want to do by asking about Heizi's whereabouts?" The master looked at Yu Dazhuang in confusion and asked.

Yu Dazhuang said: "Congcong is very smart. She must have known that Heizi was in danger, so she went to ask. Hehe, I will go back and ask what happened. Don't let her get into danger!" After saying that, he walked out.

The master smiled and said to Su Mingrui: "Your senior brother gets confused whenever he encounters Yunniang and her daughter. You see, he left without even saying hello to me, the master." Just after he finished speaking, Yu Dazhuang came back and said: "Master, don't cook. I killed a rabbit and cooked it at home and sent it to you." Then he left in a hurry. The master and Su Mingrui were both confused. Then, they looked at each other and laughed.

"Master, I'm going back too." Su Mingrui looked up at his master and said softly.

"Okay, go back! Be careful and don't let your father know. Let your mother be patient and tell her to be happy. Don't do anything extreme." The master stood by the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the bleak scene outside the window, and gave earnest instructions.

"Well, I'll look after her." Su Mingrui lowered his head slightly, with a hint of loss in his tone.

"Oh..." The master sighed softly, slowly raised his hand, and waved it gently, signaling Su Mingrui to leave.

The master's eyes were fixed on the tightly closed door, and his features became a little dazed, as if he saw some distant memories through the door. He just stood there quietly, motionless, letting the afterglow from the window shine on his body, casting a long shadow.

Su Mingrui turned around and walked away slowly. His steps seemed a little heavy. The dead leaves under his feet made a crisp sound of breaking under his footsteps. The master came back to his senses and paced around the room. Then he stopped and walked to the table. He picked up the notebook and pen. His hands trembled slightly, as if he was carrying a heavy burden. He concentrated on recording today's events in code stroke by stroke. Every word and every stroke seemed to be engraved deeply in his heart.

Nan Yi thought to himself: "The mystery of my life experience may be hidden in this mysterious code." Recalling the original scene, Nan Yi's heart was filled with gratitude towards Yunniang.

At that time, the wind was howling, as if it was going to tear the whole world apart. He was seriously injured and on the verge of death, and fell beside the dark river. It was Yunniang, the weak woman, who rescued him from the dark river with difficulty in the wind. She ran around and took the trouble to find Doctor Liu. Doctor Liu tried his best to cure most of his injuries. However, Doctor Liu's diagnosis was like a heavy mountain pressing on Nan Yi's heart - there was a blood clot in his head, his ankle was shattered, and he needed surgery to recover completely. However, the environment here was very bad, the simple house was dark and damp, and it was difficult to find surgical instruments and drugs. It was impossible to perform surgery at all. Walking out of here was the only way. At the same time, he was also grateful for Yunniang's life-saving grace. Recalling the original scene, his heart was filled with warmth and gratitude. At that time, he was seriously injured and on the verge of death. He felt extremely desperate and thought he was going to die there. But the appearance of Yunniang was like a bright light in the darkness, giving him hope of life. He secretly vowed to repay Yunniang's kindness.

Yu Dazhuang ran home with the rabbit in his hand. After Yu Congcong and Tiezhu came back from Honghua's house, they hurried to find Yu Dazhuang who was repairing farm tools and told him what they had found. Yu Dazhuang took the leaf from Yu Congcong and ran away. Before she could even finish her words, Yu Congcong snorted and decided not to pay any attention to her adoptive father anymore.
