In a small village about ten kilometers outside Tianfu City, a dark-skinned old man is sitting on a wooden chair made by himself, leisurely holding his old cigarette stick.

"Crunch!" The wooden door was gently pushed open, and a fat boy with a small poke of hair on the door ran into the old man's carpentry room, and looked around at the exquisite woodworking carvings, and stretched out his tender little hands to hold a dog wooden carving in the palm of his hand, and watched carefully.

"Who's fat boy, so ignorant of the rules, just come in without knocking, and even touch my things without my consent." Although the old man's tone was a little harsh, he still closed his eyes and held a cigarette stick motionless.

"This dog shouldn't be the spirit dog that guarded under the mountain gate back then, it was able to carve out a bit of the spirit dog with wood, and the spirit dog has also reached the bone refining stage, and is about to form a demon pill, right? I can't imagine that my junior brother will not return to his master all day long to stay here to be a carpenter, and his cultivation is far from being comparable to that of decades ago."

As the chubby boy spoke, the doors and windows of the stone house were closed.

"Haha, senior brother, you have improved a lot more than before this time, and you look like a boy when you talk." The old man took a deep breath of his cigarette and said with a smile.

"Are you here to take me back to the sect this time? Is there something important going on, and you've found me?"

"There is no big thing in the sect, it's just that yesterday the fifth junior brother watched the sky at night, and it seems that something big will happen in Tianfu City, and if you don't get it, there will be corpses all over the field, and it is related to such a guy in prison. Unfortunately, Third Senior Brother, you are here again, so I stopped by to ask you about it to see if you know the reason for this."

The boy put down the wooden carving of the dog in his hand, attached his hands behind his back, and walked slowly to the old man with the old cigarette stick.

"This thing? I do know a thing or two, if it involves people in prison as Lao Wu said, it is really a bit troublesome. I'll be careful, if something happens, I'll be enough alone." The old man spat out a smoke ring. Said softly.

"What a big breath, third junior brother, third junior brother, since you said so, then senior brother is also relieved. That wooden sword at the door is good. Just give it to me, I have a disciple who just needs a weapon to take advantage of." The chubby boy laughed, then turned around and walked to the gate and took the wooden sword back into a Qiankun bag similar to Zhang Chen.

"Senior brother, I'm afraid you didn't come here today to report this to me, right? Your character is not going to run errands for such a trivial matter."

"Haha, the junior brother is still as wise as a torch, I heard the fifth brother say that the junior brother accepted a disciple and is still a monster. There is nothing more interesting to me than junior brother you accept apprentices, feel free to take a special look, what kind of prodigy can enter the eyes of junior brother, who knows that senior brother and I are unlucky. I didn't see anything, I also brought good things, so I have to give it to your apprentice next time, I will accept the wooden sword first, junior brother take care."

The wooden door is not opened. But the chubby boy is gone.

"This old fifth, I warned him before, don't tell me if it's okay, I have to repair him when I return to the sect one day." The old man took another puff of his cigarette.

"Anyway, my disciple actually came to a fragment of time that I didn't even perceive very little, and I don't know if it was a curse or a blessing, which can be regarded as a tempering for him. It's just that the prison envoy of Tianfu City, I hope I don't go too far. If I have to make a move, it will be too much trouble."

The old man walked out of the stone house with his hands behind his back and on his back.

"Does this scholar have such a bad taste? Let us experience his sad past, and we don't know what he is thinking in his heart and what his purpose is." After Zhang Chen returned to Nanyuan, he did not go to the second floor to investigate the situation. Since the scholar has no ill will towards himself, then he will continue according to the agreement.

Because Zhang Chen is a miscellaneous servant, it is difficult to see the master on weekdays, and he eats together in the place where the subordinates gather. However, I heard from the people of the same status around me that their lives were very difficult in the past, and these eight people had to be responsible for the sanitation and cleaning of the entire house on weekdays, and they also had to run errands and chores, and the food was relatively poor. But after the young grandmother moved into the Zuo family, everyone had a clear division of labor, and the work on weekdays was much easier, and the food was also improved.

Zhang Chen naturally knows the personality of this young grandmother, and he is just a supporting role here, Xiaobai is the protagonist, so he doesn't worry much about this house, let it go with the flow.

However, just today's evening, after Zhang Chen and his subordinates fetched water and washed up, when they just returned to the room, a beetle flew into Zhang Chen's room.

"Firefly, what's wrong? Did something happen?" Zhang Chen asked.

"The young grandmother left her room, and seemed to be heading towards Xiaobai's room, and her actions were very secretive."

"In addition, that Xiaobai is also moving, he should have come out of the room."

"In that case, I'll go and see what the situation is, and you can come with me. Just see what's going on, and don't meddle in anything that happens."

The beetle that stopped on the shoulder made an "um" sound and flew away, Zhang Chen walked out of the door, pretending to go to Shangmei, and when the figure disappeared into the night, it turned into a black shadow and jumped on the roof of the mansion.

"This Bai Shengzhan seems to be walking towards the room of the head of the Zuo family, what is he holding in his hand." In Zhang Chen's eyes, the scholar who was graceful and kind-faced during the day was unexpectedly fierce and hideous at this time.

Bai Shengzhan came to the door where the head of the left family was resting with his main house, dipped his finger in a drop of saliva, gently punctured the window paper, and inserted the wooden pipe similar to a smoking gun that had been prepared in his right hand behind the door. ]

"It seems that this Bai Shengzhan should have a deep hatred with this Zuo family master, and the biggest reason should be that young grandmother."

Just as Bai Shengzhan was about to blow into the woodpipe, a pair of hands hugged Bai Shengzhan from behind, and the man's cheeks were actually tears of grief.

The scholar was shocked and stopped his mouth.

"Have mercy on you, why? Kill him, won't we be together?" Bai Shengzhan said.

"At first, I had the same idea as you, kill this old man, and I can escape. How can it be that simple, I stayed in the Zuo family for a while and found that the Zuo family has close ties with the officials in the city, and even some high-ranking officials in the stable, which is where they launder money and make money. When the time comes, even if you run to the ends of the earth, you will be arrested and executed. I'll accompany you to your room, and we'll talk about it in detail."

The person behind him is naturally the young grandmother Jing Pity. When Zhang Chen saw this scene, he naturally affirmed that these two must have been old acquaintances before, and even this Jing Lian might be Bai Shengzhan's fiancée.

The two walked in the corridor, Jing Pity's eyes were full of grief and sadness, but Bai Shengzhan gritted his teeth and was very unwilling. After the two of them entered the room. Zhang Chen and Worm Ying also shifted their positions and came to the window of the scholar's room.

"Bai Shengzhan, this head of the Zuo family is obsessed with me in every way, and he will even include me in the main house soon. Moreover, their Zuo family was born with a weak physique, and none of them could live past the age of sixty, and this Zuo Zhong was already fifty-two, and he might die of old age in bed in a short time. At that time, I will be the biggest owner of this Zuo family, buy you a house in this neighborhood, and we can see each other every night."

"But how have you made me wait in the past few years, after you are gone. I can't sleep and eat, and it's hard to calm my mind when I study, it's not as good as before, and I go to the stable to take the exam like this, and I must only return in vain. When did this left bell die of old age. I'm going to be tormented for a few years. I'm not reconciled to ......"

Bai Shengzhan also began to grieve, this is Jing Lian actually printed her lips directly on Bai Shengzhan's mouth, and slowly took off her shirt. At this time, the grief in the hearts of the two was completely thrown aside and entangled together.

"Ahh This girl doesn't even know what a 'temple' is, how could she know about such a sensitive thing, and she almost screamed out. But he was quickly covered by Zhang Chen beside him. At the same time, he jumped off the second floor with the insect firefly.

Although the light of the moonlight was very faint, Zhang Chen could still see the reddened insect fireflies on his face and his rapid heartbeat. Zhang Chen naturally saw it for the first time, and after suppressing his feelings, he found that he was a little embarrassed between himself and Worm Firefly.

"Firefly, it shouldn't be a big deal tonight, why don't you go back and rest first. Just leave me here." Zhang Chen said very embarrassed.

"Good...... Well! The insect firefly didn't dare to raise his head to look at Zhang Chen, and turned into hundreds of insects and flew to his residence.

"Xiaobai, this guy is very lucky, so I have to wait below." Zhang Chen was also very helpless, as long as he amplified his hearing ability, he could immediately hear the delicate panting sound coming from the room.

Zhang Chen was thinking about whether to go back to the room. Suddenly, I noticed that Jiao's panting stopped, and then I amplified my hearing and began to eavesdrop on the situation in the room.

"Jing Lian, I ......" After Bai Shengzhan put on his clothes, he was blocked by Jing Lian's mouth with his hand as soon as he said a word.

"Take this well, go home and wait for my news, my heart has always been pretending to be you, and by the way, help me take care of my parents." Jing Lian took out a packed small cloth bag from her clothes pocket, and Bai Shengzhan opened it to see that there were three ingots of gold inside.

"Okay, I know what you're trying to say, I need to get back to my room quickly, or I'll be found out, and our future will be gone. You pack up your things tomorrow morning and leave early, and I won't come out to see you off in order to avoid suspicion. Wait for me, Shengzhan?"

After finishing speaking, Jing Lian took the slender jade hand that covered Bai Shengzhan's mouth, and after kissing it lightly on his forehead, she got up and quietly left the room.

And Bai Shengzhan was holding the cloth bag with gold ingots in his hands with both hands, and his eyes couldn't help but keep pouring out tears, dripping on his trembling hands.

However, Jing Lian, who had left the room, was carefully preparing to put it back in the West Garden, and when she reached the west door of the hall, a sinister voice came from behind her.

"Young grandma, I don't know what you are doing in this hall alone at such a late hour?" It was the old butler who spoke.

"You... What are you doing with one subordinate, no matter how nosy you are, let your husband sweep you away the door of the Zuo family tomorrow." Jing Lian was taken aback, after all, she was doing something like stealing chickens and dogs.

The butler behind him smiled slightly, bowed and left......
