Zhuang Yuncheng turned around and saw two people with braids walking towards with a smile, one was older, walking in front, and the latter was younger, following respectfully, it should be his subordinates.

"Dare to ask, this house belongs to you?" The older man asked.

Zhuang Yuncheng nodded and said, "Yes, but, you are?" ”

"We're neighbors." The older man smiled in surprise.

Zhuang Yuncheng realized that they were from the yard next door, and said with a smile: "Yes, but I haven't been back for a few years, and my neighbors are estranged, and I don't know ......."

"I don't blame you, you have already left when my family moved here, it's normal if you don't know me, it's weird to know." The man laughed, paused again, and said, "I'm afraid there is no place to stay in this courtyard, so why don't you go to our house for a while?" ”

"How dare you bother? There are a lot of brothers and sisters in us, so let's find another place to live first, and then we'll wait until we settle down—"

Since we are neighbors and do our best, why bother? Little brother, don't shirk. The man said to the man beside him, "Come on, help these two young ladies carry their luggage." ”

Zhuang Yuncheng was stunned, and this man in his thirties stepped forward to pick up the luggage.

Yun Yun was stunned, and Fluttershy looked at her coldly, frowning, "Stop." ”

"This ......" Lai'an is startled by Fluttershy's cold face and retracts her hand, not knowing what to do.

The older man seemed to be smiling, only staring at Zhuang Yuncheng.

Zhuang Yuncheng smiled bitterly: "Since this is the case, go in and sit down." ”

Fluttershy lets go and picks up her luggage and walks inside.

The older man walked beside Zhuang Yuncheng, Yun Yun and Zhuang Die followed behind.

When he arrived at the hall of his home, he ordered someone to move a few chairs, and then someone offered tea.

Everyone sat here, and the man said: "The contemptible person's surname is Liu, and the single name is a Zhen character, dare to ask the little brother ......"

Zhuang Yuncheng saw that this place was arranged in a decent manner, quite old-fashioned, this person still had braids, and his words and actions were just like the old officials, so he said: "Lord Liu, our brother and sister's surname is 'Zhuang'." ”

Liu Zhen didn't care about this title, but when he heard that their surname was 'Zhuang', a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and then: "The names of the two young ladies dare not be offended, little brother Zhuang ......"

"Oh, Yun Cheng."

Liu Zhen frowned, and just when he wanted to speak, someone came to report that "Ma Shen is coming." ”

When Liu Zhen heard this, he stood up, and Zhuang Yuncheng also stood up.

Liu Zhen hurriedly said: "Brother Yuncheng doesn't have to shy away, the two young ladies go to the inner room to avoid it." He also instructed: "Sister Gui, take the two young ladies to rest." ”

This little girl came over to lead the way, Zhuang Yuncheng nodded, and Yun Yun was about to leave, "You can go too." He said to Zhuang Die again.

Ma Shen came over in a hurry, saw the fresh face, and said, "It turns out that there is a guest." ”

Liu Zhen only smiled and asked, "What's important?" ”

"Yes."

Seeing him so solemn, Liu Zhen said to Zhuang Yuncheng: "Brother Yuncheng, you can do it first, and I will come when I go." ”

Zhuang Yuncheng nodded.

Liu Zhen then led the general to the right and went to the study.

Zhuang Yuncheng finally got free, and he was curious for a while and thought: Why do all the men in this house still have braids?

After a while, General Ma Shen walked out, and Liu Zhen came out and said with a smile: "I've been waiting for a long time." ”

Zhuang Yuncheng smiled and shook his head.

Liu Zhen frowned and said: "Brother Yuncheng, your yard can't be cleaned up for a while, although my yard is small, there are a few empty houses, in my opinion, the three of you brothers and sisters live in our courtyard temporarily." ”

"How can this—"

"Eh, you don't have to excuse yourself." Liu Zhen said, "Although you live first, I will arrange for someone to clean your yard as soon as possible, and within a few days, you will move over, wouldn't it be more convenient than looking for another house?" ”

"It's-"

"Well, there is no need to say it." Liu Zhen called Lai An again and said, "Tell someone to clean up three rooms in the backyard and give them to the Yuncheng brothers and sisters to live in." ”

Lai'an said yes, and Liu Zhen said again: "Treat the guests well, I want to go out." ”

Come to Ann to receive your orders.

Liu Zhen then said to Zhuang Yuncheng again: "Brother Yuncheng, you are at your own convenience, I have something to go out, come back at noon, let's talk about the wine again." ”

Zhuang Yuncheng couldn't talk, he only heard Liu Zhen say that he wanted to go out, so he agreed in a daze, and he didn't ease up a little when he went out, but he was gone, and he was not respectful to leave without permission, so he had to stay.

Lai'an instructed the little girls and maids on the side, asking them to clean up the side room, ask someone to clean the yard next door, and tell the kitchen and other things.

After finishing talking for a while, he came to sit with Zhuang Yuncheng.

Soon the little girl replied: "Master An, the room is cleaned up." ”

"Brother Zhuang, follow me." Lai An got up and led Zhuang Yuncheng to the backyard, and said, "The master went out, I'm afraid I have to come back at noon, you guys take a little rest first." ”

Zhuang Yuncheng got up and nodded, and asked again, "How old is your master?" ”

"I'm forty-one years old."

"What about you?"

"My little master is five years old." Lai An said, "It's the housekeeper here, and I've been with the master for more than ten years." ”

"There is a sentence that if it is not offended, I want to ask ......"

"You mean that?" Lai'an said, pointing to his braids.

Zhuang Yuncheng nodded.

"Don't ask now, you'll find out soon." Lai An then said, "You can rest assured, although we are not very rich and rich, we do not want anything from you. ”

"Not really."

As he spoke, he went to a wing room in the backyard, not big or small, two next to each other, and the other was directly opposite.

"That's it," Lai'an took Zhuang Yuncheng to look at them one by one, and said, "The layout is shabby, you guys will settle for the time being." ”

"Where, it's really troublesome."

"No," Lai'an instructed the little maid who was still sprinkling and sweeping, and said, "Go and report a message, and ask the two young ladies to come over too." ”

"No, I'll say it myself, or they won't believe it." Zhuang Yuncheng said, "An Ye, you don't have to take care of us, we can take care of ourselves." ”

When he came to Anjian, he saw that he had nothing to do, so he said, "It's okay, I have a few things, I don't accompany you, so you can rest." ”

"Okay."

Lai'an left by himself, Zhuang Yuncheng took over the two sisters and let them live in the two rooms next to each other and live opposite by themselves. After being busy for a while, he came to Yun Yun's room, but saw that she was already asleep lying on the bed, Zhuang Yuncheng spread out the quilt to cover her, turned around and came to Zhuang Die, and said, "Yun Yun has a big heart, so she actually slept." ”

"I definitely haven't slept well these days, and this bed is definitely more comfortable than the seats on the train." Fluttershy laughs.

Zhuang Yuncheng smiled and asked, "It's just that I don't know this Liu Zhen, why did he suddenly take us over, what do you mean by this, Fluttershy?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, it's just a little too abrupt," Fluttershy says, "The guy looks good, but he doesn't know what's going on." ”

"Exactly."

"Brother, don't worry, I'll be on guard." Fluttershy rummaged through the box, and the dagger was revealed, and Zhuang Yuncheng saw it and asked, "What is this?" ”

Fluttershy picks it up and says, "My brother gave it to me." She suddenly realized that she had escaped into another world, so far away from that world that it was like a dream, and she would never be able to dream the same dream. She felt illusory, but when she thought of Shinobu Miyazawa, the feeling of heartache and longing was extremely real.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay," Zhuang Die put it down and said, "for self-defense." ”

"Have you ever killed someone?" Zhuang Yuncheng asked.

She was in a trance, thinking of the Chinese who died under her hands in prison, and the members of the Huaxing Association who were shot dead by the intelligence department, she trembled, looked at Zhuang Yuncheng and said, "I...... I don't want to. ”

"Beiyan told me, so I know what the military academy is, maybe you have experienced it yourself ten times more cruel than what I heard in Beiyan's mouth." Zhuang Yuncheng said, "Fluttershy, you have been silent along the way, and you have been hot and cold to me, I know that your temperament has changed, but I don't know how it has become, and I am a little scared." ”

"Nope." Fluttershy shakes her head.

"I can actually understand you, so I don't dare to ask you what you've been through for most of the past six months......"

"Then don't ask, never ask. Now that I'm back, I'm not going to leave again, and I'd better forget about that time as a dream. Fluttershy said, startled.

"Don't ask, I won't mention it anymore, but there is one more thing I want to say," Zhuang Yuncheng said, "No matter what you have learned, what you have experienced, you must distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong, although people in the world today live in a confused way, regardless of right and wrong, but we ourselves have to live clearly, so as not to walk this life in the world in vain." ”

"Yes." Fluttershy whispers.

Zhuang Yuncheng nodded with a smile, hugged her, and suddenly a little guy walked to the door with a probe, Zhuang Yuncheng asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The master is back, and he told the little one to come and see how the Zhuang Ye is."

"We're fine." Zhuang Yuncheng said, "If you go back to your master, I'll come." ”

The little guy retreated, and Zhuang Yuncheng said again: "Why did he come back early, by the way, what the housekeeper said just now made me uneasy." ”

"What?" Zhuang Die asked.

He said that although his family is not rich and rich, he will not want us to do anything, which sounds like a good thing, but when I think about it, I feel cold, we have never met him, and when he sees us, he invites us to his house and is so hospitable, and arranges everything for us, is there really such a thing in the world? But in my opinion, his family is indeed quite solid, and it is reasonable to say that he does not want money, but I don't believe that they are so generous, maybe I am too careful, but it is not a bad thing for you and Yunyun to be careful. ”

Zhuang Die smiled: "Isn't it possible to beat our sisters?" Brother, you can figure it out? ”

"You didn't pay attention, that Liu Zhen is forty-one years old, we have been here for so long, and we haven't seen his wife and children, if he doesn't have a wife, it is possible to fall in love with you."

"Let's be careful, don't say it, it's a miracle to be able to say this." Fluttershy gives him a blank look.

"Take precautions, also, Yun Yun is sleeping now, she may not be able to sleep at night, I'm afraid and scared, you can sleep with her."

"I think so, too."

"Okay, I'll go to the front hall to see Lord Liu, you have to rest when you're tired."

"Hmm." Zhuang Die nodded.
