The Zhuangzi where Xiao Qi and Zhang Li went was called Xize Village, and the whole village was built around the Zhang family's Zhuangzi, and most of the villagers were tenants of the Zhang family.

Now there are hundreds of people in the village, the Zhang family does not resist the oppression, the villagers are farmers and women weave, if the children of the villagers are fortunate enough to be looked at, they can also serve in the Zhang family, the villagers are relatively happy, compared to other places are already good.

At sunset, the smoke of cooking smoke is always swirling in the rural sky, and in the middle of summer, there is no farm work, and the village people sit on the side of the village road, enjoying the coolness of the evening while chatting. The Zhou family lives on the edge of this village.

At this time, the Zhou family had finished dinner, and the two members of the Zhou family did not go out to sit idly, still immersed in the atmosphere of mourning, as for Zhou Ziming, he went out to play with the friends in the village after eating.

"Are we really leaving?"

Zhou's mother picked up a piece of clothing piled on the kang, folded it and put it aside, and sighed, wanting to turn this endless sorrow into a ball of air and vent it.

Father Zhou looked at the family's business and didn't know what he was thinking.

"We've been here for so many years, and it's really reluctant to leave for a while." Mother Zhou said with some affection, and said to herself as if she wanted something: "It's okay to go, leave this sad place." ”

"Hey, I'll go to Zhang's Mansion in a few days to look for those adults, and let's bring back my daughter's body."

Zhou's father walked to Zhou's mother and gently patted his wife's back, Zhou's mother could no longer control her tears, leaning on her husband and crying bitterly.

"I know that you are also for the good of this family, although my daughter died for unknown reasons, she should be involved in the infighting of this big family."

"Blame me for this matter, if I hadn't sent my daughter to Zhang's Mansion in the first place, I wouldn't have come to this point!"

Of course, Zhou's mother didn't blame Zhou's father, but she just sighed at her daughter's fate, their family was just ordinary people, how could they fight with Zhang's family, whether their daughter was involved in a conspiracy or not, not only did they not dare to go to Zhang's house to make trouble, but they also wanted to flee from here.

The daughter was sold into the Zhang family since she was a child, and they never took care of it again, but the daughter is very filial, and the monthly money will be saved every month to give to the two of them to subsidize the family.

Zhou Ziming didn't know that he would leave the village soon, and at this time he was still having fun in the fields with other children.

"You see, this is what the young lady of the Zhang family left behind when she came to my house that day." Zhou Ziming took out the things left by Zhang Li that day and showed them off in front of his friends, "This is what their Zhang family bought from the south, haven't you seen it?" ”

A few friends watched Zhou Ziming take out a small handful of small beans with oval pink skin from his arms, revealing puzzled expressions.

Zhou Ziming explained: "You don't understand, do you? This is the fruit of longevity! ”

"Longevity?"

"Cut, isn't it just a few plump grains?"

There are envy, doubt, and some yin and yang weirdness among the friends.

Zhou Ziming was very satisfied with the performance of everyone present, and said proudly: "This longevity fruit can prolong life if you eat it." ”

Those yin and yang weird children just now were about to snatch the little bean from Zhou Ziming's hand, but Zhou Ziming's eyes quickly clenched the bean.

These few people are dissatisfied. Snorted coldly: "Cut, what's the use of letting what you say fall into the sky, we don't know if what you say is true or false." ”

Zhou Ziming was agitated by these people, and said loudly: "What are you lying to, you also know that the eldest lady of the Zhang family who came to my house is so beautiful after eating this." ”

"Why do you want to compare yourself with a girl, my family can say that if he has the Zhang family's background, he won't let their young ladies dress themselves like this."

Zhou Ziming ignored this person, pretending to whisper mysteriously: "My sister said that the young lady is in her thirties, and it is because of this that she looks like a girl in her teens." ”

"Thirty-something!!"

The little friends present exclaimed again, this age is amazing, they can be the mothers of several bear children present.

Seeing that everyone believed his words, Zhou Ziming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the eldest lady from the Zhang family didn't know his age, and just to save face for himself, although his sister seemed to be very good to him, she never told him about her in the Zhang family, which made Zhou Ziming very unhappy.

"Ahh

In the courtyard of Zhang's house in the distance, Zhang Li suddenly sneezed, which frightened Qianzhi beside her, and hurriedly tightened her clothes for Zhang Li.

"Qianzhi, I'm fine."

"Miss, you've been overworked these days, so you might as well rest early."

Zhang Li waved her hand, folded the letter in her hand, picked up the letter and put it on the candle next to her, and lit the letter paper. Zhang Li's pupils reflected firelight, and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, making Qianzhi feel a little scared when she looked at the eldest lady at this moment.

Looking back at the field, Zhou Ziming patted his chest and said, "That's not it, now that I have obtained these things, of course I won't hide them, so I naturally want to share them with you." ”

After Zhou Ziming finished speaking, he began to distribute these longevity fruits to a few friends, and those sour children, although they showed indifference on their faces, still carefully took the longevity fruits distributed by Zhou Ziming.

A few children first looked at this longevity fruit carefully, but they didn't know how to eat it, so they looked at Zhou Ziming, waiting for him to eat it, so that he could study.

I saw Zhou Ziming peel off the pink skin of the immortal fruit, revealing the light yellow flesh, and then threw it into his mouth. They also put the longevity fruit in their mouths and chewed it carefully.

"Delicious!"

There were a few people who hadn't eaten yet, and they swallowed their saliva a little reluctantly, and put the immortal fruit into their arms, among them, one of them was Zhou Ziming's best friend Ai Hanyan, and he also had a young sister, after hearing Zhou Ziming's words, he wanted to leave this sister to stay young forever, after all, he believed in his friend's words.

The few friends who finished eating smashed their mouths, and they all looked at Zhou Ziming again with a gesture of unfinished, Zhou Ziming knew that these people wanted more, after all, such a little bit of stuff would be gone if he put it in his mouth and chewed it, but he couldn't say that there were still many things at home now.

"This longevity fruit is very rare, and I don't have much here, so I secretly took it out and gave it to you to eat." Zhou Ziming spread his hands and explained helplessly, but he changed his words and continued: "Of course, it's not that you can't divide a few more, but well." ”

A few of the little friends are shrewd, hearing Zhou Ziming say this, of course they know Zhou Ziming's plans, the boss of a group of their children went to the Zhang family to make a living, and now they have no leader.

So, one of them spoke up first: "I think Ziming is generous, and we just lack a boss, I think Ziming is just right." ”

Several other people glanced at each other, knowing that they were half a beat slower to speak, and they missed the opportunity to curry favor with Zhou Ziming, but it did not prevent a few people from speaking.

It happened that a child who couldn't understand Zhou Ziming's plan said loudly: "I don't think this is appropriate, right?" Zhou Ziming is not powerful, nor is he resourceful, I don't think he is qualified to be our boss. ”

Those who wanted to eat the longevity fruit again immediately began to coax when they heard this Hanhan speech, whether Zhou Ziming could be the eldest brother, or whether he would be the boss's life, they just cared about Zhou Ziming's food.

Since they were given the opportunity, of course they had to behave, and they began to praise Zhou Ziming, which means that they obviously didn't explicitly say that Zhou Ziming could be the boss, they just picked up good words, which made Zhou Ziming very useful.

This also provoked a rebuttal from another bear boy who wanted to be the boss and his comrades, which was an endless argument between you and me.

It's night, and there is definitely no result in this matter today, those few babies who flattered Zhou Ziming got Zhou Ziming's longevity fruit, and in the envy of others, this group of babies dispersed.

"Hanyan, wait a minute." Zhou Ziming caught up with Ai Hanyan, took out a cloth bag from his arms and threw it to him, "Here you go." ”

Ai Hanyan took the bulging cloth bag and showed a puzzled expression.

Zhou Ziming smiled and said, "Why didn't you wait for me just now, why did you go back alone?" ”

"Oh, seeing that you're still busy, I'll go back first." Ai Hanyan pointed to the palm-sized cloth bag and said, "What is this?" ”

"Why don't you just open it and take a look?"

Ai Hanyan untied the rope that tied the cloth bag and exclaimed, "Immortal fruit!" How do you ......"

Zhou Ziming saw that Ai Hanyan was about to speak out loud, so he hurriedly covered his mouth, looked around and saw that no one was relieved of his heart, and said, "Oh, I said my eldest brother, what are you doing so loudly." ”

"Didn't you say there weren't much?"

"That's all a lie, there's a big bag at home."

"Thanks, then you're welcome."

Zhou Ziming hammered Ai Hanyan's chest and said, "Be polite to me." ”

The two are neighbors and are of the same age, so they are naturally close friends.

"Did something happen to your sister?" Ai Hanyan finally said this.

Although Zhou Ziming didn't have much closeness to his sister, he didn't want others to curse her like this, so he replied with some anger: "Your sister just had an accident."

"I heard...."Ai Hanyan originally wanted to say something, but when he saw that Zhou Ziming was angry, he could only sigh, "Forget it, let's go." ”

Zhou Ziming doesn't know what death is now, he just knows that his parents have been in a bad mood recently, and every time he wants to ask something, they just let him go out and play by himself.

"Let's go."

"Yes."
