Chapter 2: Home.

Zhang Qi's residence, in the northwest corner of the mansion, is a bungalow, although it is not a single-door courtyard, but it is remote and quiet, and few people come. In front of the www.biquge.info room, a long bamboo is repaired, swaying with the evening breeze, leaving mottled bamboo shadows in the sunset, indifferent and quiet. Home is in sight, so that Zhang Qi is relaxed, with a happy smile on his face.

As he walked under the bamboo, a small emerald green ruler-long snake suddenly bounced off Zhang Qi's head, sizzling out a crimson letter, and poked out Zhang Qi's ears and neck, "Xiao Cui, don't make trouble! Zhang Qi lovingly grabbed the little snake from his head, and the little snake wrapped around his hand, with ruby eyes, looking left and right at him, quite spiritual. "Meow, meow" There were two cat meows at the door of the house, expressing dissatisfaction with the owner's lack of attention to himself, "Lazy fat black, I slept for another day, and then go on like this to see how you catch mice." Zhang Qi scolded with a smile, and walked to the door with the little snake, a big and fat black cat, still lazy and lying on his stomach, just raised his head, his dark eyes narrowed out a golden slit, stared at it, and put his head on his paws, ignoring his master.

A snake and a cat are not only Zhang Qi's pets, but also playmates and even friends. Because of his loneliness and introversion, he has almost no friends among his peers, and since he was a child, he likes to play alone on the dragon and tiger mountains outside the city, chasing hares and birds, picking up some flowers and stones, and is very happy. Or when you are sad, you will remember your parents in a daze, and if you can't think clearly, you can imagine supplementing. Spring goes to autumn, white clouds are long, and this way of life has continued until now. When he was eight years old, he found a dying little wild cat in the hollow of a dead tree in Tiger Mountain and brought it home for adoption. At the age of nine, he took the little wild cat on the snake mountain, the little wild cat did not know from which lump to dig out a snake egg, brought home under the childlike heart, put it in the bed, after a few months, it really hatched a small snake, when I woke up in the morning, I found a small snake next to the pillow, and I was scared. In the past two years, the two little guys have been very attached to him, as long as he comes back, they will be inseparable, but as long as someone else comes, they will hide without a trace, so up and down the house, no one knows that Zhang Qi has two cute pets. There is a little headache for Zhang Qi, the two little guys are very picky eaters, and they only eat small fish and shrimp caught in the water of the two mountain streams, and they must be alive. Fortunately, there are a lot of fish and shrimp in the stream, and it is not difficult to catch them, so Zhang Qi simply dug a small pond behind the house, put the fish and shrimp caught in it, and let the two little guys eat.

"Fat Black, bring me my towel. Zhang Qi fetched a basin of water, shouted, and the black cat meowed, protesting, and then flashed into the house, and came to Zhang Qi with a towel for a while. He took off the towel, touched the cat's head, and washed up. After many days of participating in the transportation of supplies, I was covered in dust, extremely tired, and my stomach began to rumble again. An orphan like him can only eat with his subordinates in the public canteen in the house, and it stands to reason that he should have a good meal alone, but because no one cares, he gradually eats the same as his subordinates, and Zhang Qi has never complained to his elders. Now it's past dinner, and I'm hungry again.

Fortunately, I have lived independently for a long time, and I also know how to reserve food, so after washing, I went into the house to find a cold steamed bun, poured a bowl of water, and sat under the edge of the house and nibbled on it. At this time, the little black cat bowed up, jumped to the back of the house in a flash, and the little snake wrapped around its shoulder also disappeared with a flick. Zhang Qi was stunned for a moment, who would come at this time, and after a while, an old mother, carrying a food box, walked along the path, and when she saw Zhang Qi from a distance, she shouted: "Young Master, how do you eat cold steamed buns, I left you a meal." Zhang Qi greeted him, took the food box, and thanked him: "Thank you, Aunt Li." "You kid, thank you, you're hungry, eat quickly." Aunt Li said pitifully. A humble old mother in the house, because she was taken care of by Zhang Qi's mother in her early years, has always remembered that she has always cared for Zhang Qi, who has become an orphan, and can be said to be the closest person to him in the house, so that Zhang Qi felt the warmth of people's hearts, and many years later, when he reached the peak, he still remembers. No matter how cruel the world is, the brilliance of human nature still flickers at the bottom.

After eating, although he was tired, Zhang Qi still used the moonlight to practice his fists and feet in front of the house. Zhang's famous family Wang clan, hundreds of years do not fall, there are strict family rules, the clan has allocated a huge amount of money to train direct disciples, from an early age to learn literature and practice martial arts, according to the regulations of the dynasty, when the twelve years old become the people of Chaotian, there will be an assessment, those who pass will be specially trained, in order to enter the major colleges of the dynasty for further study, become the pillars of the country. The elite may be selected by the Xianmen to become the admired monks and protect the family. The unsuccessful candidates, whoever they are, will be sent out to take care of the family business or the grange, no longer enjoy family privileges, and will be removed from the direct family tree, and will not be able to return to the direct family tree unless they have done a miracle for the family. Although it was cruel, it maintained the competitiveness of the family and did not cause the family to decline for several generations.

Zhang Qi doesn't know much about these, but he is very curious about one thing, that is, the legendary monk, who is said to be able to call the wind and rain, fly to the sky and the earth, and be omnipotent. However, what is in front of us is that there is still more than a year to participate in the assessment. No one taught him, and perhaps as Menzi discussed, his qualifications were too ordinary to pass the test, so no one paid attention.

In Zhang Qi's heart, he doesn't care too much about the result, what if he can't pass the test, it won't be much worse than his current life. Before dying, my mother watched many times, don't force yourself to get ahead, don't learn from your father, and live peacefully and happily with what happens. So at a young age, he has the mood of an adult, and he can see things and people openly, and he can see lightly. But when studying in the clan, he is very concerned about knowledge and skills, although he is not outstanding at all, but the civil and military teachers feel that this child is worry-free, does not cause trouble, and teaches things in a decent manner.

Dragon and Tiger Boxing, the most basic boxing method in the clan, practice skin and flesh, temper muscles and bones, practice to the extreme, the body is like a dragon, and the tiger is windy. Zhang Qi opened the frame under the moonlight, and practiced it with a clear eye, but unfortunately the moves were good, but there was no spirit, and there was no momentum, not that he couldn't understand it, but he couldn't do it with the heart, his skin and flesh were loose, and his muscles and bones were weak. The little wild cat called Fat Black watched in the corner, raising its paws to cover its eyes very humanely, and I really couldn't stand it. The little snake called Xiaocui hung on the bamboo, and after looking at it for a while, he couldn't even spit out the snake letter, and the horn fell to the ground, as if he was angry to death.

When parents of the same age try their best to find a good prescription for their children, find miracle medicines, and wash the marrow and muscles, Zhang Qi can only look for the only little happiness in the mountains. Other children, when they opened a small stove under the guidance of a famous teacher, Zhang Qi could only think about who to ask tomorrow to repair the leaky house.

After a set of punches, Zhang Qi kicked a little, but he was not depressed, this is the norm, he has worked hard, and he has a clear conscience. Wiping the sweat from his body, he walked into the house, ready to sleep, but standing on the edge of the bed, with a little expectation in horror, he muttered to himself: "That strange dream, why is it getting more and more frequent." ”
