Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 341 Steel Mace
Time flies and it’s the Lantern Festival.

People have long recovered from the New Year atmosphere, and except for occasionally seeing students who are reluctant to go to school in convenience stores, everything is the same as usual.

"Mr. Li? There's a package for you."

"It's me. Just put it by the door."

The courier put a long box by the door with great effort:
"What is this thing that's so heavy?"

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

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

Since she had decided to verify the list, Yang Yiyi made some preparations, said goodbye to Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping, and boarded a boat bound for the south and sailed down the river.

The person she wanted to confirm was a senior sister named Zhang Hongyu who had married three years ago. At that time, it was said that she had married to Wuzhou, south of Liuzhou, but three years had passed and no one had received any letter from her.

In the past, I thought that the road might be too far and the letter might be difficult to deliver. But after experiencing the incident of being sent to the Liu family by my master to be a furnace, the whereabouts of this senior sister is hard to say.

It takes about a week to reach Wuzhou by boat downstream, so the distance is neither far nor close.

After a seven-day boat ride, it was just dawn when Li Chengxi returned to the cashier counter and saw the large passenger ship approaching the shore.

Zhang Hongyu lives in Wanghai City in Wuzhou, which is exactly where the ships dock, so she can go there directly after getting off the ship.

It really wasn't a big deal. Yang Yiyi planned to go and take a look at the situation, then write a letter to He Ling to report it, and the matter would be settled.

Walking down the boat on the wooden plank, Yang Yiyi shrank her neck.

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

The dock was already bustling with people early in the morning, and the busy figures of boatmen unloading and loading cargo could be seen everywhere.

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

"Find a secluded place. I have something for you."

Originally, the most secluded place was his own room in the cabin, but the timing was unfortunate. The express delivery just arrived from Li Chengxi's side, and Yang Yiyi just got off the boat.

She obediently followed the flow of people at the dock, found an alley with few people and full of debris, and walked in in a few steps.

Li Chengxi used a utility knife to cut open the cardboard box. The first thing that caught his eye was two black metal rods, with two leather cases next to them that could just fit them.

The two rods were black, with threads on them, edges but no blades, and were extremely heavy. The temporary welded hand guards were made of pure copper, and a layer of cloth was wrapped around the handle below to make it easier to grip.

Some are similar to steel whips or steel maces, with edges but no blades, and cannot be used by anyone without extraordinary strength.

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

Modern metallurgical technology is incomparable to that of ancient people. Ancient magic weapons can be wholesaled to you in modern times, and we can make as many as you want.

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

Isn’t this a magical weapon?

So Li Chengxi found an online seller who made custom swords for collection and asked them if he could make a steel mace with rebar. The seller thought Li Chengxi was going to use this thing to do some handy work and shoot a video, so he got it done in a few days without even asking.

Even if this thing is not sharpened, it is enough to smash a person's head in one blow. It is just right for Yang Yiyi, who has high tendon and bone attributes.

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

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

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Yang Yiyi had never learned how to use a steel mace, but she had learned the flying swords. As mentioned at the beginning, this sword technique does not necessarily require the use of a sword, but can also be performed with two sticks, and two steel maces would naturally be no problem.

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

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

He Ling's letter mentioned Liu Hongyu's address. Yang Yiyi walked out of the dock, asked passers-by for a while, and soon arrived in front of a residential area.

The houses in this area all have courtyards with two entrances. Those who live here are not necessarily rich, but they are at least middle class.

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

At this time, it was snowing lightly. Yang Yiyi walked to the door and knocked twice. Seeing no one answered, she knocked twice more:
"anyone there?"

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

Yang Yiyi was a little suspicious whether she had found the wrong place. At this time, Li Chengxi said:
"Something's wrong. No one has lived here for a long time."

"I got the wrong address?"

Li Chengxi lowered his voice and said;
"Look at the steps in front of the door. There is a large patch of dust. Apart from the one you stepped on just now, there are no other footprints at all."

If someone lives there, there's no way they wouldn't clean up all the dust. Even if they're too lazy to clean it, they can at least leave the door, right?
"I estimate that no one has lived here for at least a month or two. Look at the dust on the door hinges. There's no sign that it's been moved."

Yang Yiyi took two steps back and asked:

"Brother Li, what do you think?"

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

But when I asked someone just now, it seemed that nothing special had happened. In other words, although this family had not appeared for a long time, there hadn't been any deaths or anything like that that had caused a big stir.

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

Upon hearing this, Yang Yiyi looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to her. She jumped over the courtyard wall and jumped in.

The first thing that catches your eye when you enter the courtyard at the second entrance is the woodshed. There is still most of the firewood piled up inside. It seems that the family left suddenly. If they left with a plan, they would not have bought so much firewood.

I pushed open another door and found that the door to the inner courtyard was not locked. This time I could see three large tiled houses. 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 careful look at the yard.

"There are no signs of people stepping on the fallen leaves on the ground. Judging from the amount, they must have been there for a month or two."

After all, leaves only fall in large numbers after autumn, which at least shows that the family left before autumn.

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

This room is for living, and it has all the furniture. Yang Yiyi reached out and touched the dust on it, and found that the thickness was almost the same as the dust she saw at the door.

When I opened the wardrobe, I still saw a lot of clothes inside. This family might have left in a hurry, taking only some gold and silver jewelry instead of moving normally.

However, after looking around, Yang Yiyi didn't see any clues to prove where the family had gone. She walked out of the room and turned to the room on the left side of the yard.

This should be the guest room, and it doesn't seem to have many signs of use.

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

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