Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Origin of Peach Springs

The sudden sound frightened Ono and hurriedly hid back in the house. She also felt that she was a little ashamed to peek at the man at the eldest girl's house, and suddenly blushed to the root of her ears.

"It's time to eat, Zhou Zheng. The dog came out of the kitchen with breakfast and went to his room. He found that the woman he brought back last night had woken up, and hurriedly beckoned her over for breakfast.

Although the breakfast on the table is simple, the dog cooks well, and the side dishes in the bowl are full of aroma. Xiao Ye's stomach gurgled and remembered, she really couldn't resist the temptation, grabbed a big steamed bun and stuffed it into her mouth.

Zhou Zheng washed his hands and wiped the sweat beads from his body, sat down at the table, squinted at Ji Yeyu, who had a mouthful of steamed buns, a mouthful of porridge and a mouthful of side dishes, and hummed with his nose: "It looks really ugly." “

Ono fainted with hunger. The so-called people take food as the sky, she doesn't care about what others say, she just cares about stuffing food into her mouth. It wasn't until she was full and hiccuped that she came back to her senses and found that the two big men didn't move their chopsticks and kept staring at her rude appearance of gobbling up.

"I'm sorry, I haven't eaten for a day and a night, I'm so hungry. Ono's skin was slightly reddened, rendering his fair face a layer of delicate flowers.

"In Xia Wang Shui Dog, dare to ask the girl why she is running on the road in the middle of the night?" the dog squinted and asked curiously.

"I ...... My name is Ono, and my young lady and I were hunted down for no apparent reason. Xiao Ye lowered his head, his fingers were warped together, and he stammered and told the dog and Zhou Zheng that she was kidnapped half a month ago, and then she was rescued by a woman in red and ran all the way to the east without thinking about it.

"Fake, I don't think you're a good person, and you don't feel afraid to stay in the house of two young men, and you seem to be a liar who walks the rivers and lakes. "The dog deliberately cranks.

As soon as Ono heard that she had been framed, her eyes immediately turned red, she picked up the small bag she was carrying and walked out, muttering: "Of course I'm afraid, how can I not be afraid, it's just that if I go out and get caught, I won't live." “

The dog almost burst out laughing, and he quickly explained that he didn't really want to chase Ono away, and that he didn't have to tell such a scary story to win sympathy. Xiao Ye's face turned red again, but she didn't expect that no one would believe her to be honest, she lowered her head and didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

After a moment, the dog, who was eating silently, suddenly thought of one more thing, and he explained, "Miss Ono, you should eat and drink well first." Later, I will take you to live at Granny Wang's house next door, and you will say that Zhou Zheng's cousin came to join her cousin, and Granny Wang is blind and lives alone, and it is good for you to live here in the future and take care of her. Seeing that Ono didn't squeak, the dog hurriedly explained: "The main thing is that we are both bachelors, and if you live with us, the neighborhood will inevitably gossip, and it will also ruin the reputation of your girl's family, so I hope the girl is weird, Zhou Zheng and I are both good people, and we will not dislike you." ”

Zhou Zheng couldn't help but glared at him when he heard the dog say that he asked Ono to pretend to be his cousin and say some nonsense, and the dog rolled his eyes and pretended not to see it.

"Thank you, big brothers. The little savage thanked him softly. At the same time, he looked at Zhou Zheng with grateful eyes, which made him very uncomfortable.

Since Ono settled in Granny Wang's house, he not only took care of the old man's food, clothing, and daily life, but also often "harassed" the two brothers. When I was idle, I made some delicious osmanthus cake and sent it over, and by the way, I rubbed some freshly chopped firewood and went back to cook.

The dog always greeted her politely and smiled when he saw her coming, and sometimes gave her a little bit of the game that he had hunted on the mountain and took it back to make a tooth sacrifice.

At first, Zhou Zheng had a cold face most of the time, watching them communicate enthusiastically and was reluctant to talk. Ono saw that he was always bored, so he ran over to chat with him, or sew clothes for him, and make more delicious food to suit him.

Over time, Zhou Zheng also slowly took the initiative to chat with Ono, he learned a lot of things about her and life from Ono's mouth, and also found out from the details that Ono is actually an innocent girl, likes to laugh, likes to make friends, and is very kind.

Xiao Ye pestered Zhou Zheng and said that heaven and earth, chattering non-stop. When Zhou Zheng is in a good mood, she will stare at Xiao Ye's eyes, because when she speaks, her big eyes always seem to have starlight, which is particularly bright, refreshing, and very similar to someone.

After the recent spring rains, the two days finally began to clear up, and the three young people decided to go on an outdoor outing.

Ready for food and water, they headed up the hill behind the house.

As soon as I entered the mountain, a large area of bamboo grew so tall that the sunlight overhead almost obscured it, and the light around me was very dim, and occasionally a few rays of light came in from the cracks in the forest, shining on the bamboo poles, like a phantom. Ono was a little frightened, and hurriedly went up to grab Zhou Zheng's arm and refused to let go. The dog laughed loudly when he saw this, and the laughter startled a group of birds lying dormant in the forest to flap their wings and fly wildly, and the sound of flapping their wings was even more eerie, and Ono was so frightened that his back was dense with sweat, and his legs trembled.

"Dog, the girl's family is not scared. Zhou Zheng reminded softly.

"I just laughed and didn't do anything. I didn't expect the words of concern to pop out of Zhou Zheng's mouth, it was really a groundbreaking top priority, and the dog's eyes were crooked.

"Don't be afraid, just walk through the bamboo forest, and the scene will be beautiful. Zhou Zheng looked down at the frightened people and spoke softly.

The dog didn't believe his eyes and ears at all, and this kind of normal comforting words came out of Zhou Zheng's mouth so lacking in reality that he even wondered if someone was possessed by a ghost.

The three of them quickened their pace and continued to walk up the mountain. Along the way, Xiao Ye kept silent because he was afraid, and changed his usual lively personality, Zhou Zheng accompanied her and didn't make a sound, while the dog followed closely behind them and looked at their backs and smiled silently.

When I finally walked to the end of the bamboo forest, it was suddenly clear in front of me.

As far as the eye can see, the mountains are full of small wildflowers. Red, purple, yellow, white, large, small, all kinds of colors, dazzling, in the place where the morning light sprinkles, the flowers are like a golden coat, slightly shining with golden light.

There is also a small deep pool not far away, there are a few willow trees growing on the edge of the pool, and the delicate willow branches hang down into the pool water, reflecting a looming silhouette. A few egrets flew around the pond playfully, making pleasant calls.

Ono lifted the hem of her skirt and ran towards the flowers, she ran happily, but a little cautiously, afraid of trampling on the delicate flowers. So the action is like a little rabbit, bounce and jump, and stumble.

The dog couldn't help but tease: "Hey, little white rabbit, where are your long ears?"

Ono saw the dog laughing at her and grimaced at the dog.

Zhou Zheng half-squinted, watching Xiao Ye laugh like crazy, although she didn't love to laugh so much, but as long as she saw her smile, she would feel as comfortable as a spring breeze.

Zhou Zheng couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

After teasing each other for a while, the dog offered to catch a hare and go back to Granny Wang. With that, he took his hunting tools and headed east.

At this moment, Ono was already sweating profusely, so he simply loosened the bun on his head and let his hair fly against the mountain wind.

Zhou Zheng stretched out his limbs and lay among the flowers, seeing Xiao Ye's green silk being blown by the wind, her little face was flushed, and there were dense beads of sweat on her forehead. She came over and lay down beside him, and he seemed to feel a slight warmth emanating from her, making people want to hug her.

"Girls still look good in buns. The figure of that person appeared in front of Zhou Zheng's eyes again.

"I know that too, but the bun is stuffy, so now I need to keep my head cool. Her expression was quirky.

"Ono, do you want to go home?"

"Brother Zhou...... Do you want to drive me home?" Xiao Ambi felt a little lost in his heart. But she really wanted to go home to see her father, and she secretly ran out with Ji Yeyu before she had time to tell the two elders.

"That's not what it means, it's just that if you have a family and parents, you should stay at home and do your filial piety. Can't be like me. ”

"Brother Zhou, you also ran away behind your father's back?" "I don't have parents anymore......."

"I'm sorry. ”

"It doesn't matter. After a while, I will leave this place and go out for a long trip, and if you want to go home, I will send you back, if you don't want to go back, you can be a companion here with Granny Wang. ”

Ono didn't answer, she looked up at the clear blue sky, a little stunned.

Zhou Zheng propped his head on his elbows, looking at her eyes and her long eyelashes that kept fluttering, and wanted to carefully guess what this crazy girl was thinking.

Suddenly, Ono's eyes turned red, and tears flowed down in large numbers. Seeing this, Zhou Zheng sat up nervously, he reached out to help Xiao Ye, gently wiped away the tears on her face with his fingers, and said in a gentle and low tone: "Don't cry Xiao Ye, what are you doing here?"

Ono shook her head vigorously and refused to speak, she didn't dare to tell Zhou Zheng that she wanted to go with him. In this unfamiliar Wangjia Town, except for Zhou Zheng, Wang Shuigou, and Granny Wang, Xiao Ye has no other acquaintances, and she doesn't want to leave the friends she has made suddenly.

After crying for a while, Ono found that he was a little out of shape, so he quickly lowered his head and replied in embarrassment: "It's just that I'm too homesick." ”

"Then I'll take you home. ”

"No, I can't go back, the demon clan is arresting us. Ono finally revealed the truth about being kidnapped with Zhou Zheng, and she didn't make it clear before just because no one believed it because she said it.

"Demon clan?" Zhou Zheng was stunned.

"I knew you wouldn't believe it. ”
