Midsummer is fleeting, golden autumn is hard to stay, and before you know it, the branches and leaves on the tree have withered away. The Chinese New Year is still more than a month away, and on this day, the cold wind is bitter, the snow is falling, and the frozen lake is covered with thick snow.

Early in the morning, the sound of swords in the courtyard was whistling, and Ji Zheng took Heyu and Dongya to make moves in the snow, and the three of them were shirtless, as if they didn't know the cold at all.

Zhang Xunsong walked out of the room loosely, yawned, and exhaled a breath of white mist.

"You three really don't know how to ...... Sizzle...... I'm freezing to death......" Zhang Xun said with his arms around him, trembling.

Ji Zheng said: "The so-called winter practice Sanjiu, summer practice Sanfu, if you want to have some achievements, you must not be lazy and lazy." Brother Xun, you said before that you would step up your practice, but you are still lazy. If you continue like this, you will forget all the kung fu that Master taught you! ”

Zhang Xun pursed his lips and snorted, then went back to the room and took out his sword, jumped into the snow and said, "Come, I'll practice with you for a while!" ”

"Okay, then you can come over and make two moves with Heyu."

He Yu was taken aback, took two steps back and said, "No, no, how can I compare with Xiao Xun in those two moments?" I'm sure I can't beat him. ”

Ji Zheng patted Heyu on the back, and said confidently: "Don't worry, your current kung fu is no longer under Xiao Xun, just let go of the attack." ”

"That'...... Then I'll give it a try......"

So, everyone retreated to the side and made room for Zhang Xun and Yu to compete. Although Zhang Xun neglected to practice, but the foundation of many years of practice is still there, and He Yu originally had some foundation, but before following Ji Zheng to learn martial arts, it can only be regarded as the kung fu of a three-legged cat, and after following Ji Zheng for more than a year, his kung fu has indeed made great progress.

The two pulled apart and saluted each other.

Zhang Xun smiled: "Heyu, I won't let you!" ”

"Don't, don't, Brother Xiaoxun, don't embarrass me too much......"

"Look at the move!"

Zhang Xun shouted, raised his sword and slashed at Heyu, Heyu had no confidence, so he had to raise his sword to block, Zhang Xun took advantage of the situation and kicked sideways, Heyu didn't have time to react, was kicked in the side ribs, and almost fell into the snow nest.

He Yu regained his footing, his heart was horizontal, but he was no longer afraid, he let go of his hands and feet and attacked Zhang Xun. In this way, Zhang Xun was suddenly a little overwhelmed, and he didn't expect Heyu Kung Fu to progress so fast. After a few moves, Zhang Xun couldn't resist and was defeated.

In the end, He Yu made a move to fly the dragon and the phoenix, directly forcing Zhang Xun into the snow nest.

"No fight, no fight. I'll admit, I can't beat Heyu. ”

He Yu pulled Zhang Xun up and said in disbelief: "I didn't expect me to be so powerful." ”

Ji Zheng stepped forward and said, "Heyu, you have to practice harder." ”

"Hmmm! I will work harder, thank you Brother Ji Zheng! ”

Ji Zheng helped Zhang Xun pat off the snowflakes on his body, and said with a smile: "See if you will be lazy in the future." ”

"Cut...... It's not that I'm lazy, it's that you're all too diligent......"

"Still making excuses."

"Phew......" Zhang Xun stuck out his tongue.

"Brother Xiao Xun can't be lazy!"

Zhang Xun was taken aback when he heard Frost's voice, and he realized that Frost was actually waving at him through the window in Hana's room. Zhang Xun was extremely depressed, he had known that if Shuang Tu was there, he couldn't lose so ugly by saying anything just now, Zhang Xun was embarrassed, so he had to wave to Shuang Tu in embarrassment.

Ji Zheng pushed Zhang Xun's shoulder and said with a smile: "If you don't practice well, it's a shame." ”

"It's not all your fault, you deliberately made me ugly! Hmph, I'm not going to take you to that place anymore! ”

"What? What do you mean? Where did I ask you to find it, did you find it? ”

"That's it! Can you still stump me? ”

Ji Zheng pulled Zhang Xun up and dragged him out, "Quick, take me to have a look!" ”

"What's the rush on a snowy day?"

"No! Check it out today! Ji Zheng's face was full of excitement, and he was about to go out in a hurry.

"Don't, don't drag it, can't I take you there?"

"Where are you two sneaky going?" At some point, Hana was already standing in the courtyard.

"Sister Hana...... It's early......" Zhang Xunzhi said: "I...... We...... We're going out of town to buy something! Yes, we agreed to go out of town to buy something! ”

Zhang Xun glanced at Ji Zheng, and Ji Zheng hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, let's go out to buy something." ”

Hana narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Hehe, what do you have to run out of the city on a snowy day to buy something?" ”

"This ...... I...... What we're going to buy is...... What is it? Zhang Xun panicked, and hurriedly turned his eyes and asked Ji Zheng for help.

"Hidden weapon! A unique secret weapon! The most mysterious chivalrous sect in the rivers and lakes - the Blazing Phoenix Sect, the strongest secret weapon used! It is said that if you hide that secret weapon in your cuff, you can kill people invisibly! That's right, we're going to buy this today! ”

Zhang Xun was extremely embarrassed, looked at Ji Zheng with disdain, and thought, what kind of broken excuse is this?

Ji Zheng looked serious, "The Blazing Phoenix Sect only passed by Gusu today, so if you want to buy a secret weapon, you must go out of the city today!" ”

Hana held back a smile, patiently listened to Ji Zheng's serious nonsense, and waved her hand, "Go, go, play, be careful on horseback, don't fall, come back early in the evening." ”

"Miss Hana, don't worry, we'll go back as soon as we go!" Ji Zheng said, picked up Zhang Xun and ran out.

"Clothes! My clothes! I haven't put on my coat yet! Zhang Xun grabbed pitifully.

Hana handed the clothes to Zhang Xun, and then whispered a word in Zhang Xun's ear.

Zhang Xun looked at Ji Zheng on the left and Hana on the right, with a bitter face.

After Zhang Xun put on his clothes, Ji Zheng ran away and pulled Zhang Xun out of the courtyard gate, and Dongya also followed.

Not long after the three of them walked out, Zhang Xun reproached: "What kind of reason are you making up?" ”

"Who can't see that look in your eyes? It's clearly up to you, but fortunately, Miss Hana didn't care! ”

"Hey! Brother, I'm doing you a favor! Are you still complaining about me? ”

"Okay, okay, I won't blame you, but you have to keep it a secret."

Zhang Xun smiled and said, "Don't worry, my mouth is the tightest." ”

"Well, I know you're tight-mouthed, so I'm relieved to let you help. By the way, what did Hana just tell you? Tell me about it. ”

Zhang Xun crossed his arms, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Hmph, I'm a person, my mouth is strict." ”

In the courtyard, Frost took Hana's hand and asked, "Sister Hana, are the two of them lying?" ”

"Needless to say? It's certainly not the truth. Two fools, they can't deceive people. ”

"Sister Hana, doesn't she care?"

"Men, let them play if they like to play, what do you care about so much?"

"Oh."

"Let's go, let's go enjoy the snow."

"Hmm!"

At this time, Gong Wanran walked out of the room and saw that there was only one person left in the courtyard, so he beckoned Heyu into the house: "Come over and warm up." ”

He Yu put on his clothes, only then did he feel a little cold, he put down his sword and ran into Gong Wanran's house, and said, "It's cold, it's cold." ”

"Why didn't you play with them?"

"Brother Gonghui, I just have something to discuss with you."

Gonghui poured a cup of warm tea for Heyu, Heyu took a sip, feeling warm both physically and mentally, he let out a cold breath and said, "Brother Gonghui, today I plan to give the workers a holiday." ”

"Well, it's almost the New Year, it's been a hard year, and it's time for everyone to go home and rest."

"Recently, it has been freezing cold, and the merchants who supply the materials have stopped delivering goods, and yesterday we ran out of the last materials, and we have no production."

"We've done a great job this year."

"Brother Gonghui, I plan to send some New Year's goods and money to the workers, in the winter, the workers soaked in ice water to wash the medicine, collect the medicine, and the hands were covered with frostbite, I looked distressed."

"Okay, give everyone some money, and give each person some wine and meat, but you still have to remember that you can't make a big deal."

"I remember, I'm not going to make trouble."

"That'll be fine."

"But ......" and Yu looked embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Gong Wanran asked.

"Brother Gonghui? I don't know if you've paid attention to the earnings, I finished accounting yesterday, and sure enough, it's still far behind. ”

"Tell me more specifically."

He Yu looked worried, "Hmm...... The total output of this year is about 15,000 catties, and all our profits add up to only 500 taels of gold, which will be settled at the end of the year. These five hundred taels are only one-eighth of the 4,000 taels of gold increase task under Bo Ya. What should I do, Brother Gonghui. ”

Gong Wanran smiled slightly, put his hand on Heyu's shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, I'll find a way, this year has really worked hard for you, thank you!" And Yu! ”

"But...... Brother Gonghui, weren't you standing up at the time, and now it's so far away, what should you do? ”

Gong Wanran looked at He Yu with a firm gaze and said, "Don't worry, just believe me, I have always had a countermeasure." ”

"Hmmm! Brother Gonghui, I believe in you! ”

Gong Wanran paused for a moment, and then said: "Heyu, we still need to hurry up and purchase some materials, you accompany me out this afternoon, and you will go back to the factory to pick up three hundred taels of gold in a while." ”

"Three hundred taels? Originally, it was only five hundred taels, and if it was brought up to three hundred taels, there would only be two hundred taels left, so wouldn't it be even farther away from completing the task? ”

"Let's take it out first, we have a lot of things to buy."

"But...... Purchasing supplies? We don't need to add anything, do we? Now the tools are all complete? ”

"Don't ask, you'll find out in the afternoon."

"Oh, okay......" Kazuyu looked confused.

Zhang Xun took Ji Zheng and Dongya for a long time, and when it was almost afternoon, he had already left Gusu City far away, and the white expanse around him had long been deserted. They skirted a hill and through the white woods to a pool of water, which had formed a thin layer of ice covered with white snowflakes.

"How? Is this place exactly what you imagined? ”

Ji Zheng was very excited, he looked around, it was exactly as Hana expected, there was a lake, there were forests, looking through the woods, a mountain peak was faint in the clouds.

"Brother Xun! Thank you! Thank you so much! This place is exactly what Hana was looking for! ”

"I'll just say, I'm sure I'll be able to help you find it!"

"Great! Next, I'm going to build a few thatched houses by the lake, which is very simple, and then I'm going to open a flower garden next to the house and plant daisy flowers, and when the flowers bloom, it's going to be beautiful! ”

Zhang Xun pointed to the frozen lake and said expectantly: "I think there should be a boat in the lake, everyone can come over to play together in the future, I want to go fishing on the water, and then grill fish on the shore to eat, it must be delicious!" ”

"Good! When spring begins, I'll find someone to build a house here! When the autumn comes, the daisies bloom, bring Hana over and give her a big surprise! ”

"Well, Xiao Ji, I'll help you!"

Dongya also stepped forward and said, "Brother Ji Zheng, I'm here to help too!" ”

"Thank you, brothers!"

On the way back, Ji Zheng tried again, "Brother Xun, what did Hana tell you?" ”

"Hehe, you're not alone in having a secret."

"Can't tell?"

"Hee-hee, don't think about it, I'm a strict mouth." 10
