Zhang Zhen was led to the backyard by the Wu family's servants, and the young servant secretly looked at Zhang Zhen several times along the way. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he thought he was hiding the small actions Zhang Zhen actually saw clearly, but Zhang Zhen was not in the mood to pay attention to his stubble at this time, just pretended not to know, and kept thinking about the next thing in his mind.

Walk all the way to a separate small courtyard door on the west side of the backyard, the gate is closed. The servant came up and knocked on the door, and it was a middle-aged maidservant who opened the door. The young servant explained his intentions and left, and when he left, he glanced back at Zhang Zhen with a strange expression.

"You're here to find our eldest lady?" The middle-aged maidservant looked at Zhang Zhen for a while, and said in a strange tone.

"Yes."

"You're a friend of our eldest lady?" The curiosity in the middle-aged maid goddess is even heavier.

Zhang Zhen was upset by her question, and said a little coldly: "I have something urgent, please take me to see her quickly." ”

The middle-aged maid was a little unhappy, didn't ask any more, dodged to open the door and walked to the courtyard, Zhang Zhen followed quickly.

This small courtyard is simple and neat, and a plum plant is planted in the center of the yard, which has not yet bloomed at this time, and only the branches of the black bones are there.

Zhang Zhen just stepped up the steps at the door of the main house with one foot, and suddenly heard the creak of the wooden door of the side room, and subconsciously turned his head to look over, and saw a slender figure coming out of the door, holding a huge wooden basin with one hand, which was full of clothes, and the other hand was raised, wanting to wipe the sweat on his forehead.

Immediately, the wooden door was completely opened, and the girl inside stepped out of the threshold and stood not far in front of Zhang Zhen.

The eyebrows are like distant mountains, the eyes are like autumn water, the tenderness of that night and the bowl of noodles, this water lotus-like girl completely reflected the shadow in Zhang Zhen's heart.

He looked at her in a daze, and she looked at him in a daze.

For a moment, Zhang Zhen's mind flashed the silhouette left by her action of lifting her long hair in the setting sun.

"Bang dang!" The tub fell to the ground with a dull thud, and a large splash of water splashed.

Zhang ...... Big brother ......" she muttered, and when the cold water splashed in the basin wet her skirt, she hurriedly squatted down to clean up the scattered clothes.

Zhang Zhen forgot all the words that had been brewing in his head many times before, he walked straight towards her, squatted down beside her, and then, almost instinctively, he gently held her cheek.

"Xue Qi, I'm leaving Tongyu, you...... Would you like to come with me? ”

Xue Qi held a piece of clothing in her hand, looked up at Zhang Zhen blankly, her face was confused and shy for a moment, but she still nodded, and said softly: "I am willing to ......" Then she seemed to remember something, and became sad and guilty again: "Brother Zhang...... Is it because of me? ”

Zhang Zhen pretended to smile lightly, and said softly: "It has nothing to do with you, it's just that I'm tired of staying here, and I want to look elsewhere." ”

Xue Qi lowered his head again and sighed faintly: "I know because of me, right...... Brother Zhang, it's all my fault. ”

Zhang Zhen held Xue Qi's slender shoulder, let her face him, looked into her eyes, and said very seriously: "Xue Qi, believe me, this matter really has nothing to do with you, don't think about it." Then he grinned, which was a joke: "I just think that Tongyu is too small, burying my talent for doing business, if I were in Hanyang, I would have made a fortune a long time ago." ”

Xue Qi burst into tears and smiled, but there was still a little worry hidden between his eyebrows. Zhang Zhen knew that she was still blaming herself, but no amount of comfort at the moment would be useless, so it was better to leave here quickly, and the problem would be solved naturally.

"Ahem—" A crisp cough sounded.

Hearing that the voice was Wu Xiaoran, Zhang Zhen got up and looked back, and saw Wu Xiaoran standing on the steps outside the hall looking at the two of them, her expression was a little unnatural, but she hid it well.

When Xue Qi saw Wu Xiaoran, he exclaimed, hurriedly put the scattered clothes back into the wooden basin, pulled the wooden basin aside, and carefully saluted: "Miss......"

"I've told you many times, you don't have to be so restrained, and I didn't really let you be a handmaid when I brought you." Wu Xiaoran said coldly, and then looked at Zhang Zhen: "What did the surnamed Wu say to you?" ”

"The surname is Wu?" Zhang Zhen immediately reacted, it seems that Wu Xiaoran is indeed very resentful of her father, and even her father is reluctant to shout. "I'm here to take Xue Qi away, thank you for your help for a while, I'm going to leave Tongyu, I'll leave now."

Wu Xiaoran's eyebrows, which were already very heroic, immediately stood up: "That bastard surnamed Wu is not willing to help you?" How could he do that! I'm going to find him! As he spoke, he was about to walk out.

Bastard? Is this what a daughter calls her father...... Zhang Zhen listened a little uncomfortable. To be honest, although he has only met Wu Xianling once, he feels that this Wu Xianling is not a person with a hateful face. At least for Zhang Zhen, he didn't put on an official show, nor did he play that set of tricks of hypocrisy and wrongdoing, he said some truthful things, and the advice he gave was also pertinent.

"Xiao Ran, Lord Wu also has his own difficulties, and I think that you may be too prejudiced against your father, but he actually cares about you."

"Zhang Zhen!" Wu Xiaoran stared at Zhang Zhen's eyes, his face was like an angry female leopard: "I just thought you were a good person, don't let me hate you anymore!" ”

Zhang Zhen sighed and didn't say anything more. What did Wu Xianling do to Xiao Ran's mother and daughter, Zhang Zhen just listened to a few words, that kind of psychological trauma Zhang Zhen can't understand as an outsider, and naturally can't stand on the moral high ground to persuade two nonsense such as "let go" and "forgive".

"You wait here, I'll go find him!" Wu Xiaoran walked towards the courtyard gate.

Seeing that Wu Xiaoran seemed to be dizzy, Zhang Zhen stepped forward and grabbed her, and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't go!" Little dyeing! Your father can't control this, so why should you bother him again? ”

Wu Xiaoran was a little excited, gritted his teeth and said, "He is the commander of Tongyu County!" He is the biggest official in Tongyu City! He doesn't care? He doesn't care who cares! Big deal, I'm going to beg him! As long as he is willing to come forward, I will see who dares to touch you! ”

Zhang Zhen looked at Wu Xiaoran, there was a trace of emotion in his eyes, he still sighed, shook his head and said, "Forget it, Xiaoran, I understand your kindness." It is true that your father is the biggest official in Tongyu City, but what is the situation in Tongyu City, you don't know, even if he has the heart, he is powerless to do it. Zhang Zhen smiled bitterly: "Besides, it's Fan Meng who wants to trouble me, and he's not a hooligan on the street, he is the second leader of the Black Tiger Gang." ”

Wu Xiaoran was stunned, and the sad and indignant look on his face gradually faded, revealing a little helplessness. She glanced at Zhang Zhen deeply, and her voice became low: "You...... Do you have to run away? ”

Zhang Zhen smiled, lowered his head and stretched his cuffs, and said, "Didn't I say it, I'm just tired of Tongyu City, and I want to change places to make a lot of money." ”

Wu Xiaoran said with some difficulty: "Where are you going?" ”

"Go to the capital Hanyang, there is a big place, there are a lot of fish and dragons, Fan Meng shouldn't be easy to find me, and it's too peaceful there."

"That'...... That's right! Is there enough entanglement? If it's not enough for me to give you, you have to bring less things and more money when you go out. Wu Xiaoran said that he hurriedly took out all the money on his body, stuffed it all into Zhang Zhen's hand, and looked at it and seemed to feel that it was little, so he turned around and said to the middle-aged maid standing aside: "Mother Wang, go and get a thousand taels of silver......

Before Wu Xiaoran finished speaking, Zhang Zhen interrupted her: "Don't be busy, I have a lot of savings, so I don't need you to pay." Now that time is pressing, I have to leave quickly, because I am afraid that something will happen if it is too late. As he spoke, he returned the silver money in his hand to Wu Xiaoran.

Wu Xiaoran pushed back again, and said anxiously: "Are you going to go directly?" Yes...... You're going to go home first, right? I'll send you home. Mother Wang, go and prepare a carriage. ”

The middle-aged maidservant on the side hesitated for a moment, and said with a sad face: "Miss, the master has just issued a strict order, you are not allowed to leave this courtyard within a month." ”

Wu Xiaoran looked at the middle-aged maid coldly, and the middle-aged maid shrank by her look. Wu Xiaoran frowned and gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going out, I'll see who dares to stop me." ”

"Xiao Dye ......" Zhang Zhen wanted to persuade her two more words.

"Shut up! I'll send you away now! After speaking, he pulled Zhang Zhen and walked outside, and Xue Qi hurriedly followed behind Zhang Zhen.

The middle-aged maid's lips moved, and she finally obeyed Wu Xiaoran's order and prepared the carriage.

There were not many servants in the backyard of the county government, and it may be that the order of Wu Xiaoran's grounding was not spread, and no one stopped the three of them all the way out of the county office.

Out of the back door of the county office, soon a carriage drove over. The three of them got into the car and asked the coachman to pick some hidden and less crowded paths as much as possible and rushed back to the small courtyard rented by Zhang Zhen in the southwest district.

The strange thing is that the streets are calm, everything is as usual, and there is no sign of revenge and revenge of the Black Tiger Gang, which makes Zhang Zhen really relieved.

Zhang Zhen's rented yard itself doesn't have much to do, so naturally there is nothing to clean up. He picked up the box of money from the bedside, took a piece of clothing casually, hesitated, and did not avoid Xue Qi and Wu Xiaoran, and went to the bottom of the bed to pull out the rough box that was half a person long.

"What's in there?" This box looks really strange, not like the one that stores silver, nor like the one that puts clothes, Rao is situation is urgent, Wu Xiaoran still couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

"Nothing, little things." Zhang Zhen replied casually, and then said: "Let's go quickly, Xiao Ran, you should go back quickly, be careful on the way." ”

Zhang Zhen turned to Xue Qi and said, "Xue Qi, do you have anything else to bring?" You don't have to go back to where you used to live, don't bring anything that doesn't matter, you can buy it with silver. ”

Xue Qi shook his head without saying a word, looking at Zhang Zhen's suitcase with a busy look, the guilty look on his face became heavier, and the corners of his eyes were faintly moist.

Zhang Zhen didn't say more, put down the box and walked over, took her little hand and patted it lightly in his hand, and said softly: "It'll be over soon, okay, we have to go." ”

Xue Qi wiped the corners of her eyes, "um", and wanted to help Zhang Zhen carry the crude box, but she held the handle of the box with both hands, tried it but didn't lift it.

"I'll do it anyway." Zhang Zhendao, went over to lift the box, and saw that Xue Qi was in a hurry to help, so he handed Xue Qi the clothes that were originally on his shoulders, and then handed her the wooden box where the money was stored.

Zhang Zhen and the three of them went out of the courtyard gate, and before leaving, he didn't even bother to lock the door, but just glanced into the courtyard, where there was a wooden bucket for drawing water on weekdays on the side of the six-sided well.

Zhang Zhen suddenly felt a little sad in his heart.

It's been a year, and Zhang Zhen has lived in this place for a year.

Although Zhang Zhen stayed in the store most of the time, he felt that it was too deserted and less popular with stove smoke. But after all, this is a home, a place to rest after daily fatigue, a place to rest and meditate.

And now, it will be floating again......

Wu Xiaoran stared at Zhang Zhen for a while, and said in a hoarse voice: "It seems that ...... It's time to say goodbye. ”

Zhang Zhen pretended to smile relaxedly: "When I settle down in Hanyang, and then make my business bigger, when the time comes, please go to Hanyang, I will definitely do my best to be a landlord." Zhang Zhen also wanted to persuade Wu Xiaoran to be better to her father in the future, but this was not the time to speak, so he gave up.

Wu Xiaoran smiled ugly, and waved his hand with some difficulty. Suddenly, her eyes crossed Zhang Zhen and looked at the sky in the distance, and her expression became stunned.

Zhang Zhen turned his head, and a thick smoke shot straight into the sky.
