Chapter VII Southern Courtyard
"Huhu" a figure crawled out of an inconspicuous hole, "How do you feel that this hole has become smaller" The figure stood up and patted the dust on his body and muttered, "That's because you are fat" The voice of the flower pillar sounded next to him, and the black shadow trembled in fright.
"Huazhu, why are you here?" This black shadow was naturally Xiao Zheng, and when he rushed from Qihu to the range of Qinghe Temple, it was already midnight, and he ran into Huazhu head-on after bypassing the disciples of the surrounding courtyards.
Hua Zhu smiled and said: "It's so late I guess you should come here if you come back, say" Hua Zhu pulled Xiao Zheng to a place with a bright light and said: "Where are your clothes?", Xiao Zheng said: "I went to the back mountain to play, but I broke my clothes and everything, and I didn't want it at all."
Hua Zhu nodded and said, "I'll go over there and help you get a set of clothes later, just as if you helped me carry the black pot in the morning", Xiao Zheng couldn't cry or laugh a little, but then again, there seem to be some things today that also have the credit of Hua Zhu Dao.
"Okay then" Xiao Zheng said: "I shouldn't have been found out if I wasn't there for a day", Hua Zhu shook his head and said: "It's a bit serious, the others are fortunate to have you and you can't feel it, it's that the princess of the southern courtyard has been thinking about you all the time" Xiao Zheng was a little puzzled: "Ah, what did the princess say?"
"What else can I say, just say that I will clean you up tomorrow" Hua Zhu and Xiao Zheng tiptoed to the place where the people slept in Qingheguan, Xiao Zheng had to smile bitterly.
Pushing open the door, the others were already asleep, snoring one after another. Hua Zhu said: "Hurry up and sleep, I have to work tomorrow", Xiao Zheng took off his only pair of pants and lay on the bed covered with a quilt. "I said, you kid will definitely not be able to eat when you go to the South Courtyard, and those vampires ......" Hua Zhu also lay down.
"Xiao Zheng, Xiao Zheng?" Hua Zhu saw that Xiao Zheng had fallen asleep, and even heard a slight snoring sound. "What the hell is this guy doing today," Hua Zhu muttered in a low voice, and lay down to sleep.
Under a starry sky, two figures, one red and one white, looked at each other in the distance.
"Is this?" Xiao was standing next to him, like a person watching a duel. The night breeze blows across this great plain, and there seems to be a hint of solemnity in the air.
At this time, the two of them moved together, the man in red held his hands weakly, a bloody light flashed from it, and a blood-colored halberd appeared in his hand, and a heavenly evil aura rushed to his face. The man in white picked up the long sword in his hand and slowly pulled it out, the moonlight did not reflect on the sword, and the scabbard turned into light and disappeared after the sword was pulled out, and a peaceful and righteous qi slowly rose, looking at the evil qi.
The man in red made the first move, holding the halberd and jumping into the air in an instant, slashing towards the man in white.
"Broken!"
A white light flashed in front of Xiao Zheng's eyes, and all the surrounding scenes disappeared.
"Hey, Xiao Zheng is waking up" Hua Zhu shook the sleeping Xiao Zheng and shouted, Xiao Zheng frowned and slowly opened his eyes and said confusedly: "Ah, where is this?", Hua Zhu rolled his eyes at him and said: "Sleep confused, you, hurry up and put on your clothes and eat something to work in the South Courtyard, you have a lot of work today"
"But......" Xiao Zhenggang wanted to say something, but he couldn't remember anything, and stared there with his mouth open. "But what, hurry up and eat, I'll wait for you, otherwise Mrs. Wang will make you look good" Hua Zhu pointed to the brand-new handyman clothes and two steamed buns on the table.
"Am I really sleeping......" Xiao Zheng touched his head, looked at the sky outside, and it was not early, so he quickly got up and put on his clothes, sat on the seat and ate steamed buns, which was still a little warm.
"Brother Hua, when did you get up" Xiao Zheng said vaguely while eating breakfast, Hua Zhu said: "It must be earlier than you, where did you go to play yesterday? Yesterday I heard the news that something happened in the back mountain", Xiao Zheng was taken aback, how could he forget yesterday's events, and just wanted to make up an excuse to prevaricate the past, only to hear someone shouting outside: Brother Hua, Brother Hua"
Hua Zhu had no choice but to walk outside: "Come on, Xiao Si, are you doing anything?", a lewd man stood outside the door, and Hua Zhu walked over and talked to him. Xiao was eating steamed buns, his eyes wanted to close for a while, and he looked very sleepy.
"What's going on?" Xiao Zheng looked at his bare arm, and the green tendons that were originally exposed on it were now gradually turning blood-red, darkening and lightening, as if he was breathing with Xiao Zheng. The steamed bun in his hand actually gradually flowed blood from it!
"Huh?" Xiao Zheng subconsciously let go of his hand, and the steamed bun rolled to the side, if there was someone next to him now, he should be able to see Xiao Zheng's current appearance: "The eyes are scarlet, and the murderous spirit is crazy from them, and the teeth are slightly sharp, like a man-eating beast."
"Xiao Zheng, are you done eating?" we are leaving" Hua Zhu shouted outside, this "Xiao Zheng" directly seemed to pull Xiao Zheng into reality, saw that everything was normal in his arms, touched his teeth and was the same as before, and the steamed buns rolling to the side on the table did not spill blood.
"Oh, it's coming" Xiao Zheng picked up the steamed bun and swallowed it in two bites, and walked out quickly. Xiao Si looked Xiao Zheng up and down: "You are the Xiao Zheng who was transferred to the South Courtyard?", Xiao Zheng nodded and said: "Please take care of me in the future", Xiao Si seemed to be very satisfied with Xiao Zheng's attitude: "It's easy to say, but the South Courtyard is not as good as the North Garden, the work in the South Courtyard is dirty and tired, and you are transferred again, so you have to suffer a lot."
Xiao Zheng agreed respectfully, and walked towards the south courtyard with Hua Zhu and Xiao Si. Hua Zhu said: "Xiao Si, that Wang Pozi is in the South Courtyard today", Xiao Si said: "Yes, I was training people over there early in the morning, and those boys were tsk ......" In this way, Hua Zhu and Xiao Si chatted and laughed along the way, and Xiao Zhengluo was still thinking about the morning at the end.
I guess I'm too tired......
"The South Courtyard has arrived, Xiao Zheng" Hua Zhu and Xiao Si stopped, Xiao Zheng looked at the sign on it that read "South Courtyard", and the figures shuttled inside, women who took clothes to wash, and men who sat on stools to wipe dishes...... Everyone is very busy, and there is no one to spare.
The South Courtyard is located in a small place in the southernmost part of the Qinghe Temple, responsible for the daily cleaning of the entire Temple, and the disciples' clothes will also be washed by the South Courtyard, which is very busy;
Xiao Si turned his head and said: "You will go in later to find a person named Li Quan, Manager Li, he will arrange a job for you", Xiao Zheng nodded, Hua Zhu said: "Xiao Zheng, I will wash clothes next to me, just come to me if you have anything, be careful not to mess with ......"
"Is Xiao Zheng here?" An old woman stood at the gate of the South Courtyard and yelled at Xiao Zheng and the others, Xiao Si and Hua Zhu were startled when they saw her, and quickly lowered their heads and walked into the South Courtyard quickly, leaving Xiao Zheng standing alone.
"Hello, I'm Xiao Zheng" Xiao Zheng said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "You come over to me, you don't have to go to Li Quan" The old woman shouted loudly, afraid that Xiao Zheng would not hear it. Xiao Zheng thought back to the appearance of Huazhu and Xiaosi just now, and guessed that this old woman was the famous Wang Pozi of the Southern Courtyard.
Seeing Xiao Zheng coming over, Mrs. Wang turned around and walked towards the courtyard, and Xiao Zheng had no choice but to follow her in.
The door of the south courtyard behind him closed with a "bang", as if blocking the two worlds.
