That year, the Nationalist Army fought against the invading E Army in Dongzhou. Bai Lang served the country as the chief surgeon of the field hospital and served the country. During this period, a brigade commander named Meng Yunqing was injured and hospitalized. The brigade commander of the national army greatly admired Bai Lang's superb medical skills, and the two became friends who talked about everything. Unexpectedly, one night, the brigade commander was suddenly poisoned to death, and when he was dying, he asked Bai Lang to take care of his only daughter Zhao Di, and told Bai Lang a major secret of the family.

Over the years, Bai Lang has been secretly protecting Zhao Di, always paying attention to Zhao Di's growth, and also investigating that big secret.

The night was dotted with sparkling stars, and the vast and empty field was shrouded in a white mist.

On the side of the road, a caravan was parked.

In the faint light of the stars, it was clear that the wagon had a wooden ladder on it, and there were boxes, wooden boxes, and bundles of rope. There are also a few words written in white paint on the cover of the caravan - "Zhaodi Circus".

At this time, the small windows of the caravan and the exit were tightly draped with curtains. In front of the caravan, the two masts seemed to be raised high into the night sky with their arms wide open. The unrestrained horses were resting freely on the grass, occasionally raising their heads and shaking their manes, and neighing loudly a few times.

In the distance, the eastern horizon was already white, and the birds were hiding in the nearby forest and singing happily. At dawn in early spring, the air is slightly cool, but it is unusually refreshing and pleasant, mixed with the faint smell of earth and grass.

The Zhaodi Circus has been performing all over Dongzhou these days.

"It's weird, where is Xu Dong?"

A sweet and startled question from inside the caravan was heard. Immediately after, the curtain of the caravan moved, and a girl stuck out her head and looked around. She looked like she was only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Xu Dong ...... Xu Dong...... Where are you?"

She called a few more times, but no one answered, so she muttered, "Really! Where did you go? This crazy boy! ”

As she spoke, the girl walked down the wooden ladder and looked anxiously.

The curtain of the caravan's small window was lifted, and the two little boys asked, "What's wrong?" Sister Zhaodi! ”

"Xu Dong can't find it!"

"I could clearly see him asleep in bed."

"Now that he's not in bed, he must have gone outside to play again. I'm going to get him back, and you two are honestly waiting here. ”

"Sister Zhaodi, don't go out, it's still dark, it's too dangerous!"

The two boys ran down the ladder as they spoke. They looked to be no more than twelve or thirteen years old, barefoot, and wearing only underwear.

"It doesn't matter! Don't worry, go back and sleep a little longer! ”

Zhao Di carried the two children back to the car, and then walked towards the forest alone.

Because the faint stars shone on the field, and the road could be seen faintly, but the forest was pitch black, and Zhao Di fearlessly groped her way forward in the darkness. The jungle is littered with fallen leaves left over from winter. The young grass has sprouted in spring, and the fragrance of violets and daffodils is faintly rippling in the darkness.

"Xu Dong told me that he came here yesterday to pick flowers, and said that he would send me more next time...... Yes, he must want to please me, so he will go into the jungle before dawn to pick flowers for me......"

Thinking of this, Zhao Di felt that Xu Dong was very likable.

Xu Dong ...... Xu Dong...... Where are you?"

She shouted at the top of her voice, but she couldn't hear any answer. Seeing this, she continued to walk forward, and finally came to the edge of the woods. There was a vast valley with a stream flowing. Zhao Di began to swim up the stream.

The stream shone brightly under the stars, reflecting Zhao Di's fair face and long black hair in a shawl. Zhao Di parted her straight hair from the middle, looking like a bird with wings ready to fly. Her eyes were crystal beautiful, her nose was straight, and she often had a smile on her face, revealing two rows of white and delicate teeth when she opened her mouth.

Zhao Di is the head of the Youth Circus, and her best skill is tightrope walking. Because she has been engaged in tightrope training and performance for a long time, her body is strong and powerful, slim and balanced. Not only is she physically strong, but she also has a devilish body.

In addition to Xu Dong, all the members of the circus also have a twelve-year-old Kong Jian and a thirteen-year-old Li Hualin, the two boys who got off the caravan just now. In addition to them, there is also a ten-year-old Mo Dang. Mo Dan had a deep admiration for the soldiers. Once, Zhao Di bought him a trumpet military uniform with an epaulette of the rank of captain. He loved it for ten minutes, and he always wore this outfit to perform, and received warm applause, and since then he has been nicknamed "Captain".

Zhao Di herself is also a master of performing acrobatics, and she can dance on a tightrope.

How did this boys' circus come to be? It turned out that these little ones were orphans, and their parents died on the battlefield. In order to make ends meet, they came together and worked together to form a youth circus and perform in various places.

Zhao Di was also an orphan after the war, but she is different from other children who have lost their parents. She looked mild-mannered, polite, and well-mannered, as if she were from a wealthy family or a wealthy family. Therefore, everyone unanimously elected her to the post of head of the regiment.

She is not only handsome, generous and charming, but also pure-hearted, simple and sincere. When rehearsing the show on weekdays, she is strict and meticulous with the members of the troupe, and teaches them to be polite. In private, she treats the children with great care, gentleness and grace, and takes care of every child like a considerate and kind big sister, so the children call her Sister Zhaodi, and respect her very much.

The eastern horizon was already brightening, and the stars were getting darker and darker. Zhao Di climbed to the slope next to the creek and looked ahead.

"Ahh There's a mansion there......"

On the cliff on the right, an ancient castle rises into the sky. In the dim starlight, the mansion looked swarthy. It is about 30 zhang away from the place where Zhao Di is located. There was not a single window in the courtyard with a light on, and probably everyone was asleep.

"What kind of house is this? It shows a mysterious style. ”

Just as she struggled to stare at the courtyard, there was a sudden sound of footsteps. "Is it Xu Dong?"

Zhao Di thought to herself. Turning his head, he was so frightened that he hurriedly jumped behind a big tree and hid, holding his breath.
