In the blink of an eye, winter has arrived.

Tiger Guard Camp insisted on continuing to run every day. Now, the leaders of each group of the Tiger Guard Battalion can completely lead the team independently. But everyone still formed an array and ran together, led by Zheng Shang and Wan Yun in turn, shouting slogans.

Zheng Sheng followed the team and ran with everyone.

Now, they're running farther and farther.

The bluestone where Zheng Sheng sat became an inconspicuous spot on the way.

However, when I passed by the bluestone today, there was actually a person sitting on the stone!

Zheng Sheng felt very strange, it was already early winter, and the autumn harvest had already ended.

In the cold weather, except for Zheng Sheng, they still insisted on going out for a run, what are they doing sitting on the stones in the mountains and forests at this time?

Besides, this person? It's not normal.

He was about twenty years old, with a withered complexion, a disheveled head, and piercing eyes, but on the whole he still had a face that could not bear to look at him directly.

He was dressed in tattered clothes, which Zheng Sheng recognized, made of the cheapest burlap. Moreover, the craftsmanship of the people who make clothes is so poor, Zheng Sheng thinks that it is just a few pieces of coarse cloth casually cut a few times and sewn them up indiscriminately.

This is a destitute poor man, most likely an outcast. Zheng Sheng judged.

Zheng Sheng wondered what was the purpose of this homeless person appearing here?

Running to the finish line, Wang Jun ordered everyone to take a break.

Zheng Sheng summoned Zheng Shang, Wang Jun, Wan Yun, Li Anjian, and Zheng Quan together to discuss the homeless man he met on the road.

"You're here to steal again? Shizi, there are many of us. Arrest him! Zheng Cheng proposed.

"No, he didn't do anything, how can we arrest him?" Zheng Sheng shook his head.

"Why don't we go and test it?" Wanyun proposed.

"How to tempt?"

"When you go back, pretend to be left behind and go to the rocks to rest." Wanyun Road.

"Good idea." The crowd immediately agreed.

"Who's going?" Zheng asked.

"Be smart, don't be too strong, you can fight and run." Wanyun Road.

"Which of us fits the bill?" Everyone looked at each other.

"Me." Zheng Sheng stood up, "I don't look strong, I'm smart, I can fight and run." ”

"Shizi, you can't go, let Zheng Yu go." Wan Yun objected.

"Zheng Yu is not suitable. He was too weak to fight. Zheng Sheng said, "I'll go." ”

The decision was made.

"Then let's all wait in front. If the son is in danger, let us go back quickly. Wang Jun said.

"Shizi, shall I come with you?" Zheng Cheng proposed.

"No, you're stupid." Zheng Sheng rejected him.

Gather the whole team and run back, Zheng Sheng deliberately pulled behind.

I got farther and farther away from the team, and finally I couldn't see the figure in front of me at all. Zheng Sheng ran back to Qingshi and found the man still sitting on the stone.

The man was surprised that Zheng Sheng had fallen behind.

"The kid." He stopped Zheng Sheng.

Zheng Sheng stood and looked at him.

"Come here." He beckoned.

Zheng Sheng walked over with some caution and stood two steps away from him. The man looked at Zheng Sheng and did not speak. Zheng Sheng looked at him without showing weakness.

"What's your name?" He asked.

"Zheng Sheng." Zheng Sheng said, "What's your name?" ”

"Victory? Zheng Sheng, what an atmospheric name. The man thought for a moment, "What do you kids do every day?" ”

Zheng Sheng didn't speak, because these things didn't need to be told to a stranger.

"My name is Si ...... Si Xian. Si Xian paused and said his name.

"Si Xian? How come I've never seen you, you're from out of town? Zheng Sheng asked.

"It's true that I'm from out of town, and I'm staying here for the time being." He gestured with his hand, "I live in the thatched cottage over there." Si Xian couldn't cry or laugh, what he said was true, and none of them were false.

Si Xian, who was temporarily living here, accidentally found a group of children who seemed to be running around in the array of the army, which made him feel very funny when he was full of sadness.

Si Xian felt the need to get to know these children, it was easy for a child to be left alone today, and he wanted to ask.

But I didn't expect this kid to be very vigilant. He didn't ask the children about it clearly, and he was about to be interrogated by him.

Zheng Sheng followed his finger and looked not far away, and found that in a bamboo forest over there, there was a faint thatched cottage. Zheng Sheng's mind turned, he changed his opinion, Si Xian may not be a homeless person, but a big man.

That bamboo forest, Zheng Sheng also visited it when he first came to Lijia Village this year. Zheng Sheng remembers clearly that there was no grass hall at that time. Zheng Sheng also thought about whether he could build a bamboo hut there, but this year was so busy that he didn't have time to build it, and he was taken first.

Zheng Sheng never stopped running every day, and he didn't pay attention to when the bamboo forest was built. But after June, except in extremely bad weather, the Tiger Guard Camp runs every day without stopping. It is not difficult to build a thatched cottage, but it is also necessary to make some noise, and it is impossible for them not to notice it when they pass by every day. But the thatched cottage was built quietly.

Then there is only one possibility, this thatched cottage was built in a very short time, even less than a day! This is not something that ordinary people can do. A homeless person, even more can't do it!

"Little friend, it's better to go to the Humble House to rest. I think you're tired. Si Xian looked at the uncertain expression on Zheng Sheng's face, and he couldn't understand the child's mind, so he followed his own words and invited him to the bamboo house.

Zheng Sheng has a new understanding of his identity, and his defensive psychology has decreased a lot. So I followed him to the bamboo hut.

The bamboo hut is small in size, but it looks spacious and translucent, and there is nothing but a bamboo couch, a bamboo table, a charcoal basin and a set of tea sets. Si Xian invited Zheng Sheng to sit down.

The two sat on the bamboo couch face to face, Zheng Sheng moved his butt uncomfortably, the table and chair business, Zheng Wen had already spread it out in Nanyang, and he used it more at home. It's been a long time since he's sat like this, this Si Xian really looks like a foreigner, and he doesn't even use the most popular tables and chairs in Nanyang!

Then Zheng Sheng thought about it while watching Si Xian's graceful and skillful tea making.

Zheng Sheng suddenly remembered that the so-called Wei and Jin Merry Scholars had all kinds of quirks, what to eat, what to eat, what to eat, what to eat, what to eat, all kinds of weirdness, all kinds of weirdness, all kinds of weirdness. And wearing coarse linen clothes like Si Xian doesn't seem to be shocking.

"What are you thinking?" Si Xian finished his work and asked.

"Why are you the only one here?" Zheng Sheng asked casually.

"I'm an idler, so I don't need to be taken care of." The tea was boiling, and Si Xian poured him a cup.

Zheng Sheng took it with both hands, drank it all, and suddenly felt fragrant on his lips and teeth: "Good tea!" ”

"Why are you running around every day? Can you help me get my mind out now? ”

Zheng Sheng put down the teacup, "Exercise?" ”

"Workout?" Si Xian was very strange, "Why do you exercise?" ”

"Get fit." Zheng Sheng said word by word, the real reason naturally can't be said, and what he said to the outside world is this reason, "My father is a general, so I naturally can't be too bad." ”

"Oh? Ling Zun is a general? I wonder where he is now? Si Xian was surprised, but he also suddenly realized.

"My father now works in Youzhou."

"Youzhou?" Si Xian straightened up and smiled, "It turns out that you are Zheng Ningyuan's son." ”

Zheng Sheng nodded, "Do you know my father?" "Daddy Zheng is now a general of Ningyuan in Youzhou, and it is not an exaggeration to be called Zheng Ningyuan.

"I've met Ling Zun a few times." Si Xian did not deny it, "Xiaoyou intends to follow Rong? ”

Zheng Sheng smiled and didn't speak. Of course, he won't tell Si Xian about the future, the whole world is in chaos, and he has no soldiers in his hands, so he can only be slaughtered.

"Haha, what are you talking about?" Si Xian changed the topic, "Xiaoyou, shouldn't your family be in Nanyang?" How did you end up here? ”

Zheng Sheng pointed in the direction, "Because I live in Lijia Village by the river." ”

"You are the son of the Pavilion Marquis, how can you live here?" Si Xian continued to ask.

Zheng Sheng shook his head, "You've asked so much, it's time for me to ask you." Where the hell are you from? ”

"I'm from Guanzhong." Si Xian said, he sighed, "There are many chores at home, and in desperation, I hid." ”

"Shizi!" Zheng Quan's voice came.

"Someone is looking for me." Zheng Sheng got up and said goodbye, "Thank you for your hospitality, if Brother Si is free, you can come to my humble house as a guest." ”

"Definitely, definitely." Si Xian smiled and watched Zheng Sheng leave.

Zheng Sheng and Zheng Quan, Wang Jun, Wan Yun and others converged.

Zheng Sheng told them that everyone was wrong.

"From Guanzhong? Surname Si Mingxian? "Wang Jun was born in Nan'an, and thought about where the surname Si was in Guanzhong. He shook his head, "No, the clan with the surname Si doesn't. There are many people with the surname Sima. ”

Zheng Sheng shook his head: "Although the children of the royal family are in all directions, we won't meet one in the mountains and forests casually, right?" ”

"In September this year, Sima Jun, the Fufeng King who guarded the pass, died, and now his children should work hard to inherit the knighthood, right?" Wan Yun pondered, "If it's not Sima Jun's descendant, who will it be?" ”

Zheng Sheng raised his eyebrows, he remembered that the reason Si Xian said was "family affairs are messy and hidden", could it be that he is really Sima Jun's son?

returned to the other courtyard, Zheng Sheng was blocked by Qing'er again.

"Qing'er, if it's still that thing, don't talk about it." Zheng Sheng told her with a smile.

Qing'er had a bitter face, "Shizi, don't want it." I've been mistaken. Leave me alone! ”

"You're eight years old, Sniff is only six years old, she can learn to understand, why can't you?" Zheng Sheng asked.

Qing'er was speechless and looked at him pitifully.

"Last month, you instigated Sniff to beg me to study in the study with you. What else is the reason for 'Shizi asked Sniff to kill people with a crossbow at the beginning, so scared that she cried all night, and didn't comfort her'. Now it's okay, just half a month after learning, you won't learn, what should you do with sniffing? Do you want to follow you and stop learning? ”

"Shizi, I and Sniff are women, and we mix with boys all day long."

Zheng Sheng was amused: "It's only eight years old!" What a woman, is a girl! Zheng Sheng pondered for a moment, "Who is so talkative?" Dongye doesn't dare, it's Chef Su! ”

Qing'er lowered her head and didn't speak.

"Hmph, the first batch of cooks, four of them have left, and two of them have stayed to learn more cooking, and three of them have been driven away by me, and they are all nailers with the surname Su?" Zheng Sheng frowned, "Wang Jun told me that the quality of the dishes cooked in the big kitchen has been declining recently, there is less oil and water, and there is more soybean milk dregs, what does she think of me here!" ”

"Higashiya!" Zheng Sheng called Zheng Donggu, "Tell Chef Su that she can go." ”

Higashiya nodded and turned to leave.

Qing'er had red eyes, lowered her head and didn't speak.

Zheng Sheng sighed, he thought of one more thing, "Zheng Shang's mother has lived in the village for a few months and wants to move out recently. Steward Wang came over and asked me what to do. ”

"Well, how about letting Mrs. Han come over and teach you?"

Qing'er's eyes lit up.

"This can also reunite Zheng Shang's mother and son, and give Mrs. Han a reasonable salary for her husband and son, just killing two birds with one stone!"

Qing'er nodded excitedly.

Zheng Sheng sent someone to tell Mrs. Wang about the arrangements for Han Qing.

After eating, Zheng Sheng went to the study.

Li Anjian stood in the middle hall and watched Zheng Sheng come over with a smile. Zheng Quan, Wang Jun and the others looked at him a little strangely.

"What's wrong with you?" Zheng Sheng was even more strange, "Li Anjian, what's wrong with you?" ”

Li Anjian smiled and said to Zheng Sheng: "Shizi, I apply to withdraw from the civil and military camp. ”

Zheng Cheng immediately grabbed him, "You want to quit?" ”

Li Anjian nodded, "Yes, studying in the study is too difficult for me. Waste of time, I'd better concentrate on learning martial arts! ”

Zheng Cheng stopped him: "Li Anjian, I just came in, and you quit?" Don't go out. You quit, and the worst grades in the study have really always been me. ”

Zheng Sheng ignored Zheng Quan, "You really decided?" ”

"It's decided. I think it would be great if I could learn everything I learned in the big class. I can't learn what the study is talking about. ”

Zheng Sheng nodded, "Okay." In fact, whether to let Li Anjian quit the civil and military camp has always been a matter of discussion between him and Qiu Fuzi, Li Anjian is not smart, but he works hard. But their current teaching is holistic teaching, and Li Anjian can't keep up with the rhythm of the class.

But he made this request himself, which surprised Zheng Sheng.

Li Anjian left the Wenwu camp.

In the study, Zheng Sheng was checking his homework.

"Shizi, a strange person surnamed Si is looking for you." The guards of the Tiger Guard Battalion came in to report.

"The weirdo with the surname Si?" Zheng Sheng immediately thought that it was that Si Xian. Zheng Sheng didn't expect that he would invite the other party in the morning, and it didn't take long for him to come.

Zheng Sheng invited Si Xian into the middle hall, and after the two chatted a few words, Zheng Sheng realized that this person was really too leisurely and boring, and slipped to Zheng Sheng's side. Hearing the sound of reading, Si Xian visited the study, listened to the sound of drills, and went to the western camp again.

After a period of time, Si Xian became a frequent visitor to Zheng Sheng's side, and he didn't speak, but often walked around the study and camp, looking very interested in everything Zheng Sheng here.

However, two months later, Si Xian suddenly brought a letter, saying that he was going back to Guanzhong. In order to express his gratitude to Zheng Sheng for this time, he gave the bamboo house to Zheng Sheng.

Mrs. Han came, and she became another master in the study.

Qiu Fuzi went to see the bamboo hut and was very interested, and decided to move the study there. However, because the bamboo hut was too small, it really couldn't fit so many people. In the end, it was decided to build a larger bamboo house there next spring as a study.

In the winter of this year, it snowed heavily in Jingzhou. In the heavy snow, Taikang's seven years have come to an end, and the world is about to usher in a new year.
