The side door leads to the promenade in the courtyard, and next to the exit is an artificial lake, in which scattered large lotus leaves float. A rockery on the shore of the lake is not high, on the stone pillar formed by the hollow hole at the bottom of the rockery, a brown and black long-haired dog is tied with a thick iron chain, the size of a small donkey, I think this eighty percent is the legendary Tibetan mastiff, I only know that the Tibetan mastiff should be very big, I didn't expect such a big head, compared to a strong male lion is not inferior.

The Tibetan mastiff was lying on the ground, and Zhou Tongtong was combing his long hair with his hands. Seeing us appear, the dog suddenly became alert, and changed from lying on his stomach to sitting on the ground with his front legs supporting his back buttocks. Two blue eyes stared at us and didn't make a sound.

Zhou Tongtong slapped the dog on the head and said, "Duoduo, this is a friend." The dog immediately lay down with a nonchalant expression.

It's really a good dog, can protect its owner and is very obedient. Thinking of the little black in my house who couldn't help me, if it hadn't been running around this morning, I wouldn't have almost died. As the old saying goes, a dog is more angry than a dog.

As soon as Lu Shan saw this situation, she immediately said to me: "You are here, I will go and implement this labor fee and arrange it again."

I was just about to keep her, thinking about being at the door just now, the secret battle between her and Zhou Tongtong was not over, if Zhou Tongtong let go of the dog, Lu Shan would be embarrassed, she felt that the away battle would suffer, and it was really a good tactic for the enemy to advance and retreat. I answered "yes", and Lu Shan walked out.

Zhou Tongtong saw Lu Shan leaving, ran a few steps and jumped over the fence of the corridor to come to me, staring at the direction of Lu Shan's departure and asked me, "Why did she leave?" ”

I said, "Girl, you get a big dog there, what is the way of hospitality, and she has other things to do, so she will go first." ”

When Zhou Tongtong heard this, he burst out laughing, as if he had won the battle, and said to me proudly: "Where are we going to play?" ”

I said, "I don't know your house well, so you can take me around." ”

Zhou Tongtong took me and walked around the corridor of their house, not idle all the way, here is the restaurant, there is the medical room, there is the living room and the study. After a while, the general structure of their house was described to me very clearly.

The place where they slept, that is, the living room, was followed by a fountain, and behind the fountain was a long fence wall, which Zhou Tongtong said was their vegetable garden, and all the vegetables they ate were produced there. There is also a river, which is a section of the river outside the courtyard wall of their house, because the ground of the city building covers the river, the river flowing in the city becomes an underground river, and the river inside the wall is seven or eight meters wide, and the river water hanging from the east wall flows in under the wall, and flows out under the west wall, and his father always goes there to fish. Zhou Tongtong said that he would not take me to see it, because there are more than a dozen big wolf dogs there to prevent anyone from coming in and stealing things.

The servants of their family, to be exact, should be the staff, not a lot, occasionally they can meet one or two, and they all don't greet each other and are busy, but it seems that the overall age is on the old side, they should have been here for a long time, judging from the age of the house, Boss Zhou is not the first owner here, those old servants may have been in this old house before, and the feelings should be very deep, otherwise they would not take care of this place so well.

At noon, we had dinner in her family's private dining room, and we picked one of the four large round tables and sat down, but we didn't eat fish, maybe the fish that Boss Zhou caught in the morning didn't have time to clean up, or we had to wait for him to speak. An eggplant box, a spicy chicken wrist bone, and another one, I heard that it is Zhou Tongtong's favorite silk milk skin, and children just like sweets. At the end, we each had a bowl of egg soup to end this pleasant lunch.

Before I got up, Zhou Tongtong said to me seriously: "I played and ate, so why should we talk about it?" ”

I wondered, "What about talking?" What can you talk about? ”

Zhou Tongtong said again: "My old Zhou said, you are good and capable, you are our family's first alternative son-in-law, I think his vision of people this time is more in line with my aesthetics." I have a couple of boyfriends outside, and if you think it's okay, I'll call you right now to break up. ”

I'm embarrassed from the soles of my feet to the tips of my eyebrows, it turns out that she is so enthusiastic this morning, she has other ideas, I hurriedly said: "Don't be busy breaking up, how old are you, do you know what love is?" I don't want to be so hasty in deciding on my future. ”

Zhou Tongtong's eyes were already filled with tears: "Don't you look down on me, no boy has ever treated me like this, my road to love has always been smooth sailing, and today it will be lost in your hands." ”

I see that something bad is going to happen, if this is to make the eldest lady unhappy in others, a few strong men will come out in a while, and let the dog bite me. I hurriedly coaxed her and said: "Don't worry, don't you still go to school now, when you graduate from college, it's not too late to want to be with me, let's make an agreement, which can be regarded as a test of love, and when you graduate from college, you will still treat me like now, we will be together, now you hurry up and break up your boyfriends, study hard, how about it?" ”

Zhou Tongtong heard me say this, slanted her big tear-rolling eyes, looked at me and said, "One word is a certainty." ”

I nodded busily. At this time, there were already bursts of cold sweat on his body, but he could be regarded as mixing this pass, what is this. I quickly changed the subject and asked her: "You got the object so early, did you learn from Wang Yuanyuan?" No benefit at all. ”

Zhou Tongtong immediately said sharply: "I learn from her?" The little lady who didn't grow up wanted to be her sister Tong's mother. This time I can't sè, my dad divorced her, I already knew about her, several times in Di Bar, I saw her mixed with a handsome guy. ”

It seems that she doesn't know that Wang Yuanyuan is no longer there, so I hurriedly asked her: "The eldest lady is so strict, do you know why don't you tell your father?" ”

Zhou Tongtong said: "Although we don't deal with each other, there is still morality in the rivers and lakes, and I won't hurt her by making a small report." And if you don't call me in the future, just call me Tongtong, I'll call you Xiaoxiao. Anyway, why do you have to be together in the future, why are you so rusty? ”

I felt a big embarrassment again, and I fell to the ground, and before I could catch my breath, I quickly agreed to her. Don't promise to be slow, she's going to cry again, soft-heartedness is my number one weakness.

She asked me again, "Where are we going to go in the afternoon?" ”

I hurriedly tried to find a way to get out: "I should go back in the afternoon, your house has been turned, it is really good and unforgettable, except for the corner of the corridor, which is angular, there is no curvature, and the others are perfect." ”

Zhou Tongtong said to me mysteriously: "That's deliberate, don't you know?" ”

"Deliberately? Why is that? Curiosity drove me to ask.

Zhou Tongtong didn't say a word, took my hand and walked out, and I had no choice but to submit.

After a while, we came to her house, the only high-rise building. It was a lighthouse, and I heard Zhou Tongtong say that the equipment below is the groundwater pumping equipment, and their family's water supply system starts from here. On the lighthouse, a searchlight is set up in each of the four directions, and from the height of the lighthouse, if the searchlight of the lighthouse is lit at night, the entire courtyard can be illuminated.

The two of us stepped on the iron bench and slowly climbed up to the lighthouse, and following Zhou Tongtong's fingers, I took a closer look at the macro scene of the Zhou family, and found that in this square ancient mansion, various buildings formed a lot of small polygons, symmetrical left and right, symmetrical up and down, and symmetrical at the four corners.

I asked Zhou Tongtong why he did this. Zhou Tongtong said three big words, and put a layer of mysterious veil on this place, "Xuanxiang Array." ”
