After Mycroft helped Jane solve the problem, he could finally meet Jane with peace of mind.

"What? You want to learn how to shoot?" Mycroft disagreed, "It's too dangerous, bullets don't have eyes, and what if they go off? Do you want to go to some dangerous place? Like the one a few days ago place? My dear Jane, it will not do."

"Why do you think so, Mycroft." Of course Jane would not run around alone, she hasn't lived enough yet, "I just think I need to learn some ways to protect myself."

There are already small hand wooden warehouses these days, which is what Jane thought of, but Mycroft disagreed, because this thing is really too easy to go off.

"Why don't you try something else? Sherlock has been learning fencing. I think it's good and practical." Mycroft told Jane Cop. It turns out that in London, which is not very safe, ladies have used their own swords a long time ago. Umbrellas for sun and rain have invented a way to defend against bad guys, and there are still people teaching this.

When Jane heard it, isn't this the anti-wolf technique with weapons?Ladies in London are really versatile~

Jane thought it was very interesting, and decided to learn this, but this is not what Mycroft is good at. He didn't hesitate to pull Sherlock out to be Jane's teacher, brother or something, isn't it just for this time?

"What! I'm not going." Sherlock refused straight away. He's not an idiot. Injured... whose fault is it?

"Okay, then I'll go and tell Jane that you don't want to." Mycroft nodded without any reluctance.Saying that, Mycroft stood up and took his coat and was ready to leave. He came here today to tell Sherlock about this matter. Since Sherlock is unwilling, he can just refuse Jane.

"Wait, wait." Sherlock was puzzled when he saw Mycroft being so straightforward, he thought for a while, "Forget it, you have no objection, and I don't have to refuse, just teach me."

Mycroft rolled his eyes at him.

Originally, Mycroft wanted to find a special place to practice swords, but Professor Beckham heard about it and insisted on letting them practice at his home.

"Why do you have to look for a place outside? I think my home is good and convenient." Professor Beckham said, he is a fencing enthusiast, and his home has a room dedicated to sword practice.

After Mrs. Wood found out about it, she found a set of old men's clothes for Jane. Jane didn't dislike it, and spent a night changing it to her own suitable size.

Panniers are no longer popular in Britain, but corsets are still a must for women, but Jane only wears a shirt inside for convenience. Fortunately, Mrs. Beckham arranged a small changing room for Jane, which is also convenient. She freshens up after exercising.

Professor Beckham has never taught girls fencing. He stayed to watch Sherlock as a teacher with great interest, but he kept interrupting, and finally succeeded in turning Jane's teacher into himself.

In the past, Jane had seen knights holding up Western swords in movies and TV dramas. The movements were really chic and elegant, but when it was her turn to practice by herself, she realized that Western swords were not easy to control at all.

Jane originally thought that the sword would be heavy, but it was not. The unedged practice sword in her hand weighed about a pound, but it was one meter long, so the sword was light and thin. If it is stable, the tip of the sword will shake very violently, and it is even impossible to hit the target.

"Don't shake, use your wrist hard, hold it steady, and let the strength run through the entire body of the sword." Professor Beckham stood by the window and instructed, while Sherlock and Mycroft stood by the wall and watched.

Jane has been studying for three days, and she is still in the state of practicing posture. Sherlock feels that his previous worries are unnecessary. With this level, how long does it take to start the duel mode.

"Come on, Jane Bennet, you have to work hard." Sherlock said, folding his hands.

"I feel very well, Jane, come on," cried Mycroft.

"I'm talking about you!" Jane put down her sword and said bitterly, "How about doing something that men should do when you have time to shout at the side?"

The Holmes brothers looked up at the sky together, and Professor Beckham laughed. He thought this lady was really interesting.

On the way back to Mrs. Wood's house, it was still raining lightly, and while shaking the water from her skirt, Jane complained to Mycroft, "You guys are too much, Mycroft, next time you practice with me. "

"Ah? This, this, forget it, I'm not good at sports." Mycroft said, "Hey, what is that?" He wanted to divert Jane's attention, but he didn't expect that there was something going on outside the carriage. .

"That child seems to be... Am I right, Mycroft?" Jane looked at a group of men chasing a boy on the stone bridge in front of her. Pedestrians on the side of the road gave way one after another, and no one dared to mind their own business.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's at the Chinese shop." Mycroft knocked on the carriage, and called to the coachman. "Catch up with the boy ahead."

"Okay, sir." The coachman flicked the reins, and the carriage picked up speed.

The carriage passed the men and slowed down.

"Come on, boy," Mycroft called, opening the door.Before the boy could see who it was, his desire for survival made him rush towards the carriage, and threw half of his body into the carriage. Mycroft grabbed him and dragged him into the carriage, "Go, get rid of those people behind." Mike Loft yelled.

The carriage ran quickly, and after a while there was only shouting and cursing behind.

Jane helped Mycroft drag the boy into the carriage, and she already recognized him. Isn't this boy the boy from "Zhao Style Restaurant"?How could he be chased?It's been less than half a month since we last met, did something happen?

"It's okay, kid." Jane took out a handkerchief to wipe the water and mud off the boy's head, but the boy waved her hand away.The boy shrank on the floor of the carriage in shock, hugging himself, he wiped his face vigorously, as if he recognized Jane and Mycroft, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Jane and Mycroft, Crying and saying something.But he had such a strong accent that even Jane couldn't understand him.

Jane looked at Mycroft, "What should we do?"

"Take him back first." Mycroft immediately made a decision.

Mrs. Wood was surprised, how did they bring back a foreign boy?

"Something seems to have happened to the boy's family," said Mycroft without further ado.

"My God, this outfit..." Mrs. Wood said to Toby who came to see curiously, "Toby, lend him your suit."

"Okay, Mrs. Wood." Toby trotted back to the room to get a suit of clothes, and took the boy to change again.When the boy saw Toby, who was about his own age, he didn't feel so scared, so he followed him.

"What's the matter with the boy? He's a strange-looking man," asked Mrs. Wood to Mycroft.

"He's a Chinese. I met his family by accident. When I sent Jane back today, I saw this boy being chased in the street and brought him back. It looks like something happened to his family." Mike Loft said.

"My God." Mrs. Wood was worried. "I don't know if he can speak English."

"I'm afraid not." Jane made a pot of coffee and came over with a plate of snacks. "Sit down for a while, Mycroft."

"OK, thanks."

"Forget it, you two eat, I'll go and see." Mrs. Wood said and went to see the boy's situation.

"What do you think it will be?" Jane sat down beside Mycroft as soon as Mrs. Wood had gone.

"It's hard to say, but I can try to find out," said Mycroft. "I'll take the boy away later, I hope it's not as bad as I thought."

Mycroft had no idea about the Chinese, he was worried that Jane would meet, he took the boy back to Beckham's house, and when Jane went again in a few days, Mycroft gave her bad news.

"Sherlock and I have been there, the store was smashed, and the two Chinese people we met before are missing. I asked, but there are too few clues, and the Chinese are very united, so I can't get the exact information. But it is said that the person who died before, he should be the husband of the lady, and he seems to owe a lot of money to the casino... From my inference, they may be in danger, I am sorry," Mycroft said .

"What?" Jane felt chills all over her body. If this was Mycroft's inference, she believed that the two people were really in trouble. "Then what about this boy?"

"You mean 'Sheng Zhao'? For safety's sake, I want to take him to London."

"Can I, can I, can I meet him?"

"of course can."

Jane went to see the poor boy, who had been wondering how Mycroft could communicate with the boy, who knew a little simple English.

As Jane guessed, he and the man who sold her jewelry are brothers, the girl named Wan Niang is his sister-in-law, and the other young man is his sister-in-law's subordinate.

The boy was not clear about the specific situation, and Mycroft did not hide it from him. Leaving his relatives made him grow a lot in an instant. He is still in great grief, but he also understands that a boy his age is alone in a foreign country. It was hard to live, so when Mycroft asked him if he would go to London together, he said yes.

Jane took out a small cloth bag and handed it to the boy. The boy took it hesitantly and opened it. Inside were the two silver jewelry, and the boy obviously recognized them.

"For you." Jane said to the boy, "don't lose hope, maybe your sister (Wan Niang) is still alive?"

Jane touched the boy's bare scalp, "Grow your hair long. How about teaching me Chinese next time we meet?"

"Hmm, um." The boy shook his mouth and was speechless.

When Jane left the room, she heard low sobs from the boy inside.

Sherlock and Mycroft were talking about the boy, and Sherlock disapproved of Mycroft taking him to London, "He should live with his people, it would be better for him, you take him to London, He's just a foreigner to other people, and that's not good for him."

Mycroft frowned. "It might be dangerous if he stays here."

"It's not bad to start again in a new place." Jane went in and said, "How does an orphan live? I think his clan's life is also very difficult. Who can take care of him? He has to learn something to make himself live."

"What can he learn?" Sherlock asked curiously.

"I don't know." Jane thought for a while, "Chef or housekeeper, maybe a gardener? I heard that Chinese people are very good at growing things."

Sherlock thought this was a good idea.

The author has something to say: Jane: I still feel that I can help.

Mycroft: Of course, Jane, at your disposal.
