Chapter two hundred and sixty-ninth visit old friends

"I feel wronged!"

Li Ying smiled at Yu Ren. "It's okay, I don't want any position. I just need our family to live happily, and my brothers and sisters around me will live happily. This is my greatest wish."

Yu Ren couldn't help but hug Li Ying gently in his arms. "Ying'er, you are so good!"

"Really? Is it better than your little Ruirui? He is much more beautiful than me!" Li Ying suddenly raised her head and showed a naughty look.

"Ah! You are jealous again. Didn't we agree to it early in the morning? Don't be jealous, why are you here again? No, you need to be punished!" After saying that, Yu Ren leaned over and kissed Li Ying.

Seeing this, Li Ying quickly raised her hands and said, "Okay, okay, it's my fault. I surrender, you can let me go!"

"That won't work. I haven't been punished yet!" Yu Ren shouted, and then turned his face over.

At this time, footsteps came from the courtyard.

"Ying'er is back." Li Ying said, slipping out of Yu Ren's arms, and quickly tidying up his hair that was messed up by Yu Ren.

The day after the three-day meeting ended, Yu Ren took Huang Ji'an north. They wanted to give full play to their advantages of having more money and food, and try to attract refugees from all over the country to open up the territory of Taiwan. Their first choice was Shandong.

When the fleet passed by Zhejiang, Yu Ren quietly rode a small boat into Hangzhou Bay.

He came here not to spy on Xu Hai's information, but to go to Hangzhou to see the ordinary brothers he hadn't seen for many years. Although he had never met them since leaving Hangzhou that year, in Yu Ren's heart, he had never forgotten these brothers.

He remembered that when he left, he left them hundreds of taels of silver as a starting capital, hoping that they would continue to study flight while operating the hot air balloon business. He also roughly paddled several models of the planes for them. I don’t know how they are now, but they still have no progress at all. They are continuing to tinker with their hot air balloons, or have already started to make unpowered gliders.

Back then, he was just a poor boy. Although he had a dream, he finally chose to leave because he had no money to implement it. Now, he finally has money. So, when he came back to find a few of them, he naturally reminisces about the past, but at the same time he also hopes that he can persuade them to go to Taiwan to participate in his newly established Academy of Sciences.

This time when he arrived in Hangzhou, Yu Ren only took a small boat and pretended to be a merchant who came to Hangzhou from the south to buy tea. The two sisters Ruolan and Ruomei from Juhetang were with him. Since they arrived in Songjiang, these two sisters have been his personal guards. Only when they retreated from Nansha Island, Yu Ren sent them to Li Ying to protect Li Ying, and then he temporarily left him. Now that he is going north, the two sisters are naturally close to each other. With the protection of these two sisters, Li Ying is relieved a lot.

Yu Ren brought Ruolan and Ruomei into Hangzhou City. Everything here is still as it used to be back then, with almost no changes. Yu Ren came to Huang Han’s shop, but found that the door here was closed. Yu Ren asked the neighbors next to him and found out that the Huang Han family had moved out of here three years ago.

Yu Ren went to find Liu Datou again. However, Liu Datou's iron shop also moved. The carpenter shop in Li Fu's family was the same. After searching for it for half a day, no one was found. All the brothers who lived in this alley moved away.

"Did you hear where they moved?" Yu Ren asked a neighbor.

"I don't know this. I heard that they moved to avoid disaster, so they would tell others where they moved. In order not to let people know, they moved overnight at night." The neighbor said.

"Avoid disaster? What disaster?" Yu Ren was a little surprised.

"The guests don't know! The boys in their family heard that they met someone outside and caused trouble. They heard that the person they met was not a good person, but a pirate. And the pirate was said to have offended the prefect. Do you think their family dare not move?"

When Yu Ren heard this, he realized that Huang Han and the others were implicated by their back then. When Li Ying settled the prefect Liao, he naively thought that nothing would happen. Unexpectedly, Huang Han and the others were unable to get rid of the implication.

Seeing that he could not find out the result, Yu Ren had to leave. He wanted to go to Wushan Square to see if he could get any gains. Back then, Huang Han and the others often came to Wushan Square to play and do business.

There were many people in Wushan Square, but Yu Ren and the other two spent half a day in the square, but they didn't even see a familiar shadow. Yu Ren sighed and found a stone on the side of the road to sit down. Knowing that Huang Han and the others disappeared because of their own involvement, Yu Ren became more and more anxious to find them, otherwise the guilt in his heart would not be compensated.

"Boss, we have been looking for it for half a day and we haven't seen anyone. Why not find a place to eat first! Then slowly think of a solution!" Ruolan comforted Yu Ren's face as if he was frowning.

"Yes! If you follow the boss, you must be the one who surnamed Liao is making trouble. When I go to their house tonight and ask this person surnamed Liao in person, wouldn't I understand everything?" Ruomei also said on the side.

Yu Ren was shocked when he heard Ruomei's words and quickly went around to see. Fortunately, they sat in a more distant place and others could not understand what they were saying, so they did not attract anyone's attention.

Yu Ren hurriedly stood up, pulled the two sisters away, and asked them to call themselves "joiners". This was agreed in advance before leaving Taiwan to cover up their identity; they were pretending to be merchants from Nanyang during this trip.

These two sisters, Ruolan, are gentle and calm people, and they often consider things very carefully. Although their younger sister Ruolan looks very similar to her sister Ruolan, their personalities are completely different. Ruolan is a complete rocket launcher, just one point, bold and impulsive. She is a person with clear love and hate.

As soon as Yu Ren left the alley, he saw a familiar figure that seemed to be somewhat familiar, flashing through him. Yu Ren's heart moved and was about to catch up. The man seemed to have noticed him, but he seemed to intend to avoid Yu Ren. Seeing that Yu Ren walked towards him, the man hurried forward without even looking back.

Yu Ren hurriedly chased after him. Seeing that Yu Ren was chasing him, the man also ran. He turned several alleys one after another, but he still had no intention of stopping. Seeing that this person was undoubtedly intentional to avoid him, Yu Ren felt that there must be something strange in it, and he became even more reluctant to let go. Seeing that the person in front of him was about to turn into another alley, Yu Ren winked at Ruomei. Ruomei knew it and took out a small steel ball from her arms and beat it out.

The man in front immediately bent his calves, fell to bite the dog, and lay heavily on the ground. It seemed that this fall was really bad. The man was on the ground and wanted to get up, but he tried it several times but failed.

Yu Ren took a few steps to see who this person was.

The man heard Yu Ren's footsteps and leaned down on the ground with his head down.

"Turn around?"

The man pressed his head lower and refused to lift it up even though he died.

"Who are you? Why do you run away when you see me? We must know each other. Right!" Yu Ren asked.

"I, I didn't run away when I saw my husband! I was just anxious to rush back soon because I had something to do at home."

Although this man's voice deliberately pretended to be hoarse, Yu Ren could still hear it. "Fatty Xu!"

This time, Yu Ren was really shocked. Just over two years ago, when he first met Fatty Xu, his weight was at least 16. But the person in front of him was only 123. In just three years, Fatty Xu actually lost so much weight. No wonder he saw him just now and couldn't remember who it was.

The man heard Yu Ren calling out his name in one go, so he had to turn around. It was indeed Xu Shichang. Although his face had been thinner for a few times, his appearance had basically not changed.

"Fatty Xu, I didn't expect it was you. I was about to look for you! Why did you run away when you see me?" Yu Ren asked in confusion.

Fatty Xu turned around and looked around. Seeing that there was no one in the alley, he sighed softly, but he still refused to answer Yu Ren's question.

Seeing his situation, Yu Ren knew that there must be something wrong with it, so he said to Ruolan sisters, "Please help him up and wrap his face with a piece of cloth. Someone asked, and he said it was my cousin who had smallpox and could not see the wind. Let's go back to the boat first."

Ruolan Ruomei agreed and helped Fatty Xu up, then found a handkerchief from her body, and wrapped Fatty Xu's face.
