Because of each other's different backgrounds and experiences, the young couple has always had some bumps when they get along. After today's events, those knots have been opened. They have the same heart to mind, and there is no scenery in front of them. Dragged his hands and slowly walked to the center of the camp, pointing along the way, this is the house where Cheng Mingzhen used to recuperate, and there is the empty place where Cheng Mingzhen pretended to be crazy and stupid to practice martial arts. There is also a small lake where the two of them fish together, and an island where they watch birds.

After walking for more than half an hour, I approached the thatched hall where Du Juan usually handled official business. A few female soldiers who had returned ahead of schedule were already eager to see through it, and when they saw that their main general finally appeared, they smiled and surrounded them, and quipped: "The seven masters are back, if you don't come back, a few of us are going to call a boat to go to the lake to catch people ......!" ”

"You dead girls, don't you have itchy skin!" The cuckoo was flushed with laughter, and raised his slap to make a gesture. The female soldiers were used to frolicking with her, so they were not afraid at all, jumped a few steps to the side, and continued to say happily: "Can the Nine Masters stand beside you?" If you're not afraid of being looked at by him, we'll stand here and fight for you! Seven masters spare their lives, spare their lives, their subordinates don't dare anymore! ”

No matter who faces such a group of young and lively female soldiers, it is difficult to make a real face. The cuckoo chased after him for a few steps, smiling and stopping. Looking back at Cheng Mingzhen, his current fiancé is also full of smiles, and he is not angry with the words and deeds of the female soldiers. The four eyes were glued, and the two soon came together side by side. Fang wanted to enter the hall together, and a female soldier named Hongling hurriedly ran forward and reminded in a low voice: "Qi Qi is in charge, the wife of the village owner is waiting for you inside!" We have already served refreshments, and Sister-in-law Lian is chatting with her. ”

"Is it Sister Liu'er?" The cuckoo was slightly stunned, "When did she come?" ”

"I've been here for a while, and I said I'm going to send you someone!" Hongling lowered her voice and continued to report. "She seems to be a very thin woman, with a black and yellow face!"

While she was talking, Liu Er in the room had already heard the movement outside and greeted her with a smile. Seeing Cheng Mingzhen, her footsteps suddenly stagnated, and then she quickly walked towards the cuckoo, took the other party's hand and said angrily: "You Nizi, let me wait for nearly half an hour!" I thought you ran somewhere, it turned out that you hadn't waited for the door, and you couldn't leave for a while! ”

These jokes are a little blunt, Rao is cuckoo is open-minded, and he frowned lightly unconsciously. Zhang Jin's favorite concubine Liu'er is far more sensitive to other people's emotions than ordinary people. Now the cuckoo's palm suddenly hardened, and he immediately realized that he was nervous and overspoken. Eat and smile and whispered in the other party's ear: "Actually, my sister was like this back then." But don't let him see it. Otherwise, you will be eaten for the rest of your life! ”

If he is so considerate, the cuckoo naturally can't treat kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs. peeked at Cheng Mingzhen, and then lowered his voice in response, "He won't see it!" Besides, I just stopped by to see the mechanism at the door, so I delayed some effort! Why did my sister come to me today? I didn't give a word in advance, so I was somewhat prepared! ”

"What to prepare, sister, I don't lack anything!" Liu Er poked the cuckoo with her finger and protested in a low voice, "It's you, you don't necessarily know what to prepare for yourself." As soon as I heard the good news, I rushed over to help, lest you be anxious and have no suitable person to consult! ”

The two women muttered, quickly throwing the others aside. Cheng Mingzhen was bored, so he had to look up and enjoy the surrounding scenery. He had seen them before, but when he looked at them today, he had a different charm. It seems that every place, every scene, is closely related to oneself. As long as you scan it in a hurry, it's hard to forget it.

The majority of women soldiers and widows whose husbands had died in battle lived near the center of the camp in the cuckoo, so the environment was much cleaner than other camps. In order to add some fun to the closed life, many women also planted some peach trees, vines and so on around the house, and now all branches are full of flowers, embellished with spring.

Behind the thatched hall is the boudoir where the cuckoo lives. Unlike other people's yards, there are no flowers and trees here, but there are several weapon racks along the windows, which are full of swords, guns, swords, and halberds. The mud in front of the window was also trampled flat, hard and hard, forming a large circle of width and narrowness. There were a few thick stake trees inside the circle, which had been dyed iron black by sweat for a long time, and faintly glowed.

There is no doubt that Cuckoo has put a lot of effort into martial arts. Otherwise, as a young woman, she would not be able to suppress tens of thousands of green forest heroes who even risked their lives. Thinking of the hardships that the other party has paid over the years, Cheng Mingzhen feels that the responsibility on his shoulders is a little heavier. Shaking his head, he continued to watch the boundless spring.

Under Liu Er's deliberate control, the intimate topic of the two women soon ended. Liu Er pulled the cuckoo and walked out a few steps, first nodded and said hello to Cheng Mingzhen, and then said with a little apology: "I originally promised the hall master to ask the big boss to give him Zhou Ning." Unexpectedly, at the last moment, there were many changes. I didn't do a good job of this, and I caused trouble for you little couple. The next time I encounter the same thing, I must be completely sure before I say it! ”

"My sister has tried her best, I think Ermao should be reasonable!" Where did the cuckoo dare to accept the apology of the owner's wife, and quickly responded with a smile.

"Thank you, Madame, for your help. I will definitely convey this to Ermao, and ask him to thank Mrs. in person another day! Cheng Mingzhen had seen Liu Er in the county yamen, and he was a little uncomfortable with her current identity, so he arched his hand in a restrained manner and expressed his position in a low voice.

"I'm just doing a favor! In fact, the big boss has long had the intention of fulfilling the king's hall, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while because of the affection of several old brothers. In the face of the polite Cheng Mingzhen, Liu Er was also uncomfortable. Gently lower your eyelids and explain in a low voice.

"But I brought the girl here myself today, so that I don't have too many dreams at night!" Turning her gaze to the cuckoo, her eyes and tone immediately became smart again, "Just stand in the hall where you handle business." It's a pitiful little kid, thin and thin, and I don't know why so many people are looking at him! ”

That's the real purpose of her trip. On the one hand, she gave an explanation to Du Juan and Cheng Mingzhen, telling them that she had worked hard to help. On the other hand, it is also necessary to prevent Miss Zhou from falling into the hands of some ulterior motives again, so that she will not be able to raise her head when she sees Du Juan and Cheng Mingzhen in the future. There are also some careful thoughts, Liu Er will never let anyone see it. Only occasionally swept the target out of the corner of his eye, and saw that he was stronger and more capable than before, and he was satisfied.

As she spoke, she dragged the cuckoo into the hall again. Nodding his hand, he called out to a woman in a coarse kudzu dress with a scorched head like grass, and said loudly: "This is the seven masters I told you. You will follow her in the future and take care of her diet and daily life. My sister is a bodhisattva, and no one dares to chase after her and bully you! ”

"Thank you, ma'am!" The woman's reaction was very clever, and she immediately knelt on the ground and bowed, "Slave Zhou Ning, I've seen the seven masters!" ”

"No need to give a salute. Stay with me first, and in two days, I'll arrange something for you to do!" The cuckoo did not have the habit of being bowed down to, waved his hand, and ordered lightly.

"Xie Qi's grace!" Zhou Ning, who was wearing rough jade clothes, didn't see any eldest lady appearance, some were just cowardice and humility. He kowtowed to the cuckoo twice more before she slowly stood up for the rest. From beginning to end, he hung his neck, and he didn't dare to make contact with anyone for a moment.

With such a pitiful little angry bag, Du Juan naturally couldn't raise the mood to talk to her more. Walking to the door, he called the personal guard Hongling, and ordered loudly, "You go near my room and make room for her alone." Then, according to what I usually use, I bought her a set of things to wash her face and comb her hair. The clothes, shoes and socks that need to be purchased are also out of my account. Don't be slow to her, and don't let people bother her! ”

"Thank you, thank you!" Hearing the Jade Rakshasa arrange this, Zhou Ning immediately took a few steps closer and wanted to worship. Annoyed, the cuckoo hurriedly reached out to support her thin body, smiled, and said in a low voice: "You're welcome." In my place, as long as you don't cause trouble, others won't dare to take the initiative to provoke you. Let's go and settle first, and when it's settled, I still have something to tell you! ”

Zhou Ning's strength was far inferior to that of the cuckoo, and he was held by the other party's arm, and his head could not be knocked down anymore. He thanked him in a low voice, hung his head, and followed Hongling. As he moved, several large tears fell, smashing several small circles of water on the ground.

"Alas, what a blank for me!" Liu Er watched Hongling go away, shook her head, and sighed in a low voice. Everything that needs to be done is done, and she has no reason to stay. He glanced at the sky outside and said goodbye with a smile.

From the moment he saw Liu'er, Du Juan felt as if the other party had changed. But she couldn't say exactly what had changed. I only feel that Sister Liu'er, who is plain and amiable, and is generous almost every step she takes, every word she says seems to be pretending, and she is as awkward as she wants. At this moment, when I heard the other party say that I was going to leave, I immediately felt a sense of relief in my heart, smiled and grabbed the other party's arm, and begged in a low voice: "It's still early after dark, why are you in a hurry to go back." That's a lot of words, I haven't had time to ask you yet! ”

"You girl, play tricks with me!" Liu Er stretched out her finger and poked hard at the cuckoo's forehead. "If I don't leave, I guess you're going to cut me with a knife. No more eyes here to get in the way, I'll talk to you slowly when you're really free! ”

was poked at once, and the cuckoo had no choice but to admit punishment with a smiling face. The smart Liu Er greeted Cheng Mingzhen generously again, and then called his guard Yu Yong and left with a smile.

From beginning to end, Cheng Mingzhen only said one word to her, but he was very uncomfortable. Hearing the footsteps of Yu Yong and the others, he moved his arm and said to Du Juan with a smile: "Why does your sister Liu'er look like a chattering god?" It's like a clay puppet used by a street rapper. If she refuses to leave, I'll run away on my own! ”

"Sister Liu'er is not usually such a person. I guess I felt guilty today, so I did something. In fact, she is not to blame for the matter, it is all Zhang Erbo, who always says it and doesn't count, forget it! Du Juan understands his friend very well and puts himself in Liu'er's shoes.

Hearing her say this, Cheng Mingzhen also felt very reasonable. He let out a few more breaths and diverted the topic elsewhere. "Miss Zhou's ......"

"Miss Zhou......" Du Juan thought of the same topic, and spoke at the same time as Cheng Mingzhen, and swallowed the second half of the sentence at the same time. The two looked at each other and smiled, nodded at each other, and motioned for each other to speak first. After arguing for a while, in the end, Cheng Mingzhen made concessions and continued to add: "Since Ermao wants to marry her, don't use her as a girl." Otherwise, let Ermao know, and blame us for not thinking about him! ”

"How dare I, she's your benefactor!" The cuckoo rolled his eyes lightly and said sourly. is already about to marry Cheng Mingzhen, and she doesn't need to eat too much dry vinegar. He smiled bitterly again, and added abruptly, "Didn't you see her like that just now, poor bastard." Even if I confess her, in the eyes of outsiders, I may see it as bullying her. ”

"Her family has been killed by us, and it is inevitable that she will be afraid." Cheng Mingzhen hesitated for a moment and whispered. "But you must also be careful not to let her count the enemy on your head. I don't think she's such a cowardly person! ”

In his memory, the impression left by Miss Zhou Ning of the Zhou family was noble, beautiful and generous. is not as rich as his father and brother. She once sold medicine at a price less than one-third of the market price, and tried her best to help herself, a poor boy who had no way out. And, when it came to helping herself, there was not a hint of contempt in her words. Some are just the kindness, thoughtfulness and gentleness that a girl should have.

Du Juan didn't quite believe in the cowardice and humility shown by Zhou Ning at this moment. Especially the lines of tears that the other party shed before being taken down, it was too easy to be moved and too hypocritical. She smiled coldly, and her face showed a bit of the ruthlessness of the jade-faced rakshasa again, "Let her come to me for revenge, I'll see what she is capable of!" I knew that she would cause such a big trouble, so I might as well have stabbed her in the first place! ”

"In that case, Ermao will definitely not be finished with you!" Cheng Mingzhen felt a sudden shock in his heart, and hurriedly spoke out to persuade him. "Anyway, be careful and don't give her a chance. Alas——! ”

"Got it, my Cheng Dashan. Her father and brother are bastards, but she hasn't done anything bad, has she! Du Juan glanced at Cheng Mingzhen again and said helplessly. Her current fiancé is very worried about this woman surnamed Zhou, but at the same time, her husband is more worried about himself than a woman surnamed Zhou.

This now makes her happy and worried. pursed his lips and decided, "Why don't you let Ermao take her away as soon as possible, so that you can do what you want, and you can save your heart." By the way, what about Ermao? Xiao Lotus, go and take a look, has the hall master come back? ”

At this time, Cheng Mingzhen and Du Juan suddenly appeared, and they were always dangling in front of their eyes, and Wang Ermao, who couldn't get rid of them, had not shown his head at all since the two returned to Du Juan's camp. According to this person's habit in the past, even if he hadn't heard that Miss Zhou was given to the cuckoo as a maid by Zhang Jin, she should have rushed over to eat and drink, how could she become so well-behaved for no reason?

"Ermao won't be dizzy!" Cheng Mingzhen's eyes widened, worried. He knows the nature of a good friend, and he is often reckless when he is impulsive. But in Juluze, there are many taboos that are easy to violate. Once Wang Ermao touches him in a daze, I'm afraid that he and Du Juan will not be able to save this person's life if they join forces.

"He, he's been eavesdropping outside the tent!" Thinking of the angry expression on Wang Ermao's face at that time, Du Juan was also frightened and a little ownerless. lowered his voice, and poured beans into a bamboo tube to tell Cheng Mingzhen what he was listening to.

For a while, both husband and wife panicked, and hurriedly sent more people to look for Wang Ermao's traces. After searching carefully for more than three hours, when it was close to midnight, he finally turned out the drunk Wang Ermao by a pond.

Seeing his good friend drink like this, Cheng Mingzhen was angry and distressed. While ordering someone to fetch water to wash Wang Ermao's face, he squatted down and scolded in a low voice, "Look at your little bit of talent, you almost drowned yourself for the sake of a woman." Isn't it just a matter of a few days later and a few days earlier? Everyone is in the camp of the Juanzi, who can snatch her again? ”

"What, what!" Wang Ermao opened his eyes, and his mouth full of wine was so stinking that he was dizzy. Seeing that it was Cheng Mingzhen squatting in front of him, he smiled miserably, shook his head and emphasized, "No, it's not for women." Little, little ninth brother, you don't understand at all. ”

"You know, you Wang Ermao knew 500 years ago, and 500 years later. More than the old tree spirits in the mountains! Cheng Mingzhen couldn't wait to kick the other party into the lake, and scolded angrily.

"Don't call me Wang Ermao, don't, don't call me Wang Ermao again, Wang Ermao!" Drunk people always feel sober, and they arch their upper bodies and continue to shout. "Otherwise, I won't pay attention to you again in this life!"

Cheng Mingzhen had no choice but to give in, "Okay, you don't call Wang Ermao, so what is your name?" ”

"King, uh!" Ermao burped, turned his head and lay on the lakeside and vomited. It wasn't until he spit out almost all the bile that he wiped his mouth and added with a smile, "I, I can't change my name, and I won't change my surname." The surname is Wang, and the name is Weiqiang. With that, he threw himself into the mud, drunk like mud.
