Coming out of Lu Xingchuan's house, the sun was already setting in the west, and Zhou Zhi strode home with a large cloth bag in his hand.

Today's harvest can be described as quite rich, borrowing all the four books and five classics, not to mention, and getting acquainted with the old talent Fan Jin. The three of them talked loudly and were in high spirits, and Zhou Zhi benefited a lot from it.

Drinking tea, drinking, meeting three or five literati, and concentrating on reading all day long is very nourishing. But now that his family is poor, such comfortable living conditions do not exist now.

People still have to face the reality, and poor families still need their own continuous efforts to slowly improve. The future must be infinitely better, Zhou Zhi said secretly with firm eyes.

Returning from the path in the field, I soon turned onto the official road.

The weather slowly cooled down, and the north wind blew a little more fiercely than when it came, Zhou Zhi only wore short clothes, and couldn't help but feel cold all over his body. With his left hand covering his shirt, he raised his head and walked more firmly and quickly.

This official road is from Baiyue Village to Gaochang Town, and then to Qingdu County, Qingyuan County, and finally to Baoding Mansion. However, the geographical location here is remote, although it is an official road, it is usually sparsely populated. It's cold now, and there's hardly anyone on the road at this time.

The body is very cold, but Zhou Zhi's mood at this time is very comfortable. As he was walking, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him. He hurriedly looked back, and a red horse was far ahead, and in the distance five healthy horses were galloping towards him with smoke and dust thrown all the way.

Zhou Zhi hurriedly dodged, wanting to hide on the side of the road and wait for the horses to pass before leaving. He carried a heavy cloth bag full of books in his right hand, and his movements were a little sluggish, but the speed of the red horse in front of him was extremely fast, and before Zhou Zhi could completely dodge the side of the road, the horse galloped to the front of him.

Zhou Zhi raised his hand in a panic, and the horse was running rapidly, and he couldn't help but be frightened at this time, and suddenly his two front hooves were raised high, and he sucked a few neighs. Fortunately, the man on the horse was not bad at riding, and when he suddenly leaned back, he instinctively hugged the horse's neck with both hands to avoid falling off the horse's back.

Then the horse stopped, and the man on the horse was furious, and said, "How do you walk?" almost disturbed my son's healthy horse, see if I don't hit you! ”

After that, where is Zhou Zhi allowed to distinguish, he raised his horsewhip high and whipped it towards Zhou Zhi's head.

Zhou Zhi hurriedly dodged, and the person dodged away, but the cloth bag in his hand fell to the ground. The cloth bag was full of books, and suddenly the books were scattered and fell to the ground indiscriminately.

"You still want to dodge, see if this son doesn't kill you!" The man on the horse saw that the first whip had not been drawn, and he was even more angry, and he drew the second whip in succession.

Zhou Zhi hurriedly dodged again, and also thanks to the sturdiness of this body, his actions were agile, and the second whip was dodged by Zhou Zhi, but the posture was quite embarrassing.

All this just happened in an instant, and when Zhou Zhi reacted, he immediately filled his chest with anger, and he scolded bitterly without looking at the person on the horse, "What's the matter! You're so rude, I'm hiding slowly, what else are you going to do? It's so deceitful! ”

While Zhou Zhi was scolding, he looked at the person on the horse, but he was stunned at a glance.

The man on the horse was wearing a black cotton cloak and a cyan robe, his face was as white as jade, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and he was the beautiful young man who shot geese that Zhou Zhi met in the barn that day. No, it should be a beautiful woman.

At this time, she was still dressed as a woman, but Zhou Zhi had already discovered that she was a woman last time. Since that day of encounter, Zhou Zhi has often seen the figure of this beautiful woman in his mind these days.

How to say that it was the first time I had contact with such a beautiful woman after crossing the Ming Dynasty, although the time of contact was too short, but the impression was very deep.

The woman on the horse did not whip Zhou Zhi with two whips just now, and she was even more furious, and she was about to raise the whip for the third time, when Zhou Zhi, who suddenly heard the scolding, suddenly stopped, and a pair of shining eyes were staring at her.

The woman couldn't help but hesitate a little, her beautiful eyes flowed, she glanced at Zhou Zhi, and then raised her horsewhip high, and shouted, "You guys are not slow to hide, look at my whip, you can still dodge." ”

This time, instead of pulling the whip over the head, it swept in. Zhou Zhi quickly retreated, and the horsewhip swept through his clothes. Zhou Zhi said angrily, "You woman is so rude, I put up with you one after another, but you still have to press step by step?" ”

How can I say that I also had a relationship with this woman, Zhou Zhi sometimes secretly thinks of her, and it is not good to scold her for a while, but Zhou Zhi is also frowning at this time, and he is angry.

The woman was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhou Zhi carefully, and asked with a stiff face, "How can you see that this son is a woman?" ”

She was very careful in disguise as a man this time, and ordinary people couldn't see it, so she asked this question.

Zhou Zhi still said angrily, "The girl has a good memory, I met the girl." ”

"Have you seen me?" The woman frowned slightly.

Zhou Zhi's heart suddenly rose with an indescribable taste, and the feeling of being ignored and forgotten was really uncomfortable!

The woman on the horse took a closer look at Zhou Zhi again, and suddenly said, "Oh, I remember, the wild goose that Ben Gongzi shot down last time was given to you." ”

In this way, it was not easy for her to raise the whip to Zhou Zhi anymore, but she still said angrily, "You too, you have to have more eyes when you walk!" ”

Faced with such a domineering and brutal woman, Zhou Zhi really didn't know what to say. Secretly, don't I have eyes? I'm in a hurry to dodge. If you don't look at the road on horseback, can't you take a good look at the pedestrians in front of you?

But how to say that last time I asked for a wild goose for nothing, and the family made a beautiful tooth sacrifice, so let's pass it like this time.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhi ignored her, bent down and carefully picked up the book that had fallen on the ground and put it in the cloth bag.

"You're still studying?" The woman asked in surprise.

Her thoughts are the same as many people, Zhou Zhi is dressed shabby, and at a glance she knows that she is a child of a poor family, and the poor family has rarely studied in these years.

Zhou Zhi lowered his head and didn't look at her, and hummed coldly.

The woman watched Zhou Zhi pick up the books very carefully, slowly wiped the dust off those books with the palm of her hand, cherished the books very much, her heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, and after a little hesitation, she said softly, "This time I can't live with you, and I ask you to forgive me." ”

Zhou Zhi didn't believe that such words came from the mouth of this rude and domineering woman, so he looked up at her again, and saw that the woman was showing her teeth slightly at this time, smiling at herself.

The woman's apology was very reluctant, but this smile was extraordinarily sincere, and it was even more attractive, and Zhou Zhi couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart.

At this time, the five healthy horses behind caught up, led by the heroic man in his twenties, followed by four healthy servants.

The heroic man stopped beside the woman and asked with concern, "Was the little brother okay just now?" ”

"Nothing." The woman said busily, her voice was clear and very good.

The heroic man glanced at Zhou Zhi, his memory was not bad, and said, "How can it be him again?" Didn't he block the way of the little brother just now? ”

Zhou Zhi was immediately angry when he heard this, this heroic man is the same as the woman, he is a domineering master.

was about to argue with him, but the woman said softly, "Brother, don't blame him, it's the younger brother who didn't pay attention when riding a horse." ”

"Hehe, my little brother still has a time when he is not paying attention when he rides a horse? It's unexpected! The man laughed, clearly making fun of the woman.

The woman's jade face was slightly red, and she said coquettishly, "Brother makes fun of me, drive!" ”

She flicked her whip, and the red horse galloped forward with its hooves raised.

The heroic man and the four healthy servants also immediately urged the horses and drove away with smoke and dust all the way.
