However, as soon as Ji Yueqiao stopped, he only felt a pain in his buttocks, and when he turned around, he saw Lu Zhengan carrying a bamboo pole in his hand at some point. Although the bamboo pole was only the thickness of his fingers, it was extremely painful to pump on his body, and it was obvious that Lu Zhengan used his strength when he pumped him.

Ji Yueqiao covered his throbbing ass with both hands, looked up at Lu Zheng'an, and roared: "You pariah, you dare to beat me?!" ”

As soon as Ji Yueqiao's words came out, Lu Zhengan sneered. I saw that Lu Zhengan's arm was slightly raised, and the bamboo pole with the thickness of his finger immediately fell on Ji Yueqiao's shoulder.

Lu Zhengan didn't give him a chance to dodge, and then the second blow fell on Ji Yueqiao's back.

Seeing Ji Yueqiao jumping up and down like a big monkey, Lu Zhengan said in a deep voice: "I am different from your brother and old lady, I remind you, when you speak in front of me in the future, it is best to keep your mouth clean." ”

Ji Yueqiao has never suffered anything since he was a child, and even in Shangjing, where the powerful and powerful are everywhere, the aunt who relies on the palace to be a noble concubine is still rampant, and no one dares to provoke him.

Ji Yueqiao thought that his brother and the old lady handed him over to Lu Zheng'an, but they were just scaring him. Na Cheng thought that before it was time to send him to Lu's house, he was taught a lesson by Lu Zhengan first.

Touching the place where he was beaten by Lu Zhengan, Ji Yueqiao recalled that Mrs. Ji punished him to kneel in the ancestral hall, and there were always subordinates who secretly helped him cover up. Now in front of Lu Zhengan, the other party is ruthless without any affection. For a while, I only felt very aggrieved in my heart, and my eyes were a little red when I glared at Lu Zhengan.

However, Lu Zheng'an, who was in the dark night, couldn't see Ji Yueqiao's expression, so he took Song Huaishu's hand and said to Ji Yueqiao: "If there are any moths, I can't tell where the bamboo pole in my hand will fall!" ”

"The surname is Lu, you wait for me!"

Listening to Ji Yueqiao's gritted teeth and threatening voice, Lu Zhengan couldn't help but laugh.

"See? If you're like that, if I let you have one hand, you may not be able to beat me. And the old lady and your brother have already handed you over to me, so you have to listen to me. Otherwise, you can give it a try. ”

With that, Lu Zhengan took Song Huaishu's hand and walked forward. After the two walked two or three meters away, Lu Zhengan suddenly stopped, turned around and reminded Ji Yueqiao: "Oh, I have to remind you. There are a lot of wild beasts in the surrounding mountains, so if you're going back to town alone, you'd better be careful. After all, there are no people around, and if they are taken by wild beasts, it will be difficult to find them. ”

After Song Huaishu saw Ji Yueqiao's virtues, he also knew that this kid really couldn't teach him. It's just that Lu Zhengan's method of scaring Ji Yueqiao is really too child's play, and even the seven or eight-year-old children in the village may not be able to scare him. Now used to scare Ji Yueqiao, Song Huaishu feels that Lu Zhengan's plan is about to fail.

However, Song Huaishu forgot a little that Ji Yueqiao was raised by his family. Although they will sneak out at night to play, they will go to very lively places. Although it is not enough to say that the lights are bright and the people are buzzing, there are also many guards patrolling.

Just now Ji Yueqiao followed Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu in a daze, and he didn't know how long he had been walking, and he didn't know where he had arrived.

I quietly glanced at my surroundings, and there was not a single bird around, not to mention that there were no people.

Just when Ji Yueqiao was looking at the surrounding environment, Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu had already walked out more than 10 meters away. Ji Yue Hashimoto wanted to turn around and go back to Hualong Town directly, but just as he took a step, he suddenly heard a hoarse cry ringing in his ears.

Ji Yueqiao, who was already apprehensive, was suddenly startled when he heard this cry. I couldn't help but think of what I had said in the previous picture books, about the female ghost who eats people, the mountain spirit in human skin, and I only felt that there were enough shadows in the trees around me, and the spirits in those stories were hidden in the shadows of those trees.

For a while, Ji Yueqiao only felt that his scalp was numb, and the cold hairs on his body were about to stand up.

Looking up at Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu, who were drifting away, Ji Yueqiao didn't care about anything anymore, and chased after the two of them with the hem of his clothes.

After listening to Lu Zheng'an's cries pinching his throat, Song Huaishu couldn't help laughing until he was about to cramp. The two walked forward slowly, Song Huaishu turned his head slightly sideways and looked at Ji Yueqiao, who was standing still behind him, and said in a low voice: "You said you can really scare him?" ”

Lu Zheng'an was a little worried about Song Huaishu's coldness, so he reached out and touched his fingertips, and when he saw that the tentacles were warm, he relieved himself.

"Don't worry, I have never missed a deal against people like Ji Yueqiao. Believe it or not, if you don't count ten, he'll definitely run after him. ”

Hearing this, Song Huaishu couldn't help but sneer, and was about to open his mouth to refute, only to hear a sudden sound of hurried footsteps behind him. The two subconsciously turned around, and the panicked Ji Yueqiao had already chased after them.

Seeing that the two of them stopped to look at him, Ji Yueqiao put down the hem of the clothes he was carrying, pretended to be calm and dusted off the hem, and said in an extremely arrogant tone: "Don't you want me to go to your house, I will give you this face this time." ”

Hearing Ji Yueqiao's words, Song Huaishu even wanted to laugh. Lu Zhengan shook his hand vigorously and said to Ji Yueqiao: "Young Master Ji doesn't need to give this face, this night is heavy, we should also go home, Young Master Ji is invited." ”

Ji Yueqiao didn't expect Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu to be so ruthless, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet fiercely. But the surroundings were really eerie, and Ji Yueqiao saw that the two of them turned around and wanted to leave again, so he had to grit his teeth and follow.

When the three of them returned to the small courtyard of the Lu family, Lu Xingyi had already fallen asleep with Song Lan's arms in his arms, leaving Song Xiren to look at the account books while waiting for Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu to come back.

When Song Xiren heard the knock on the door of the small courtyard, he hurriedly put down the account book in his hand and stood up from the stool. After seeing that Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu who came into the door were still followed by a person, Song Xiren couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Zheng'an, who is this person?"

Song Xiren said, after seeing Ji Yueqiao's face that was somewhat similar to Ji Yuexian, he immediately understood the identity of the other party.

Before Song Xiren could speak, Lu Zhengan glanced at him, and then replied, "Father, can my mother leave us a Lantern Festival?" Walking all the way, my stomach was a little hungry. ”

Although Song Xiren didn't know why, he heard Lu Zhengan say that he was hungry, so he nodded hurriedly. "Stay, I'll go and make the charcoal furnace."

Seeing this, Song Huaishu hurriedly stretched out his hand and stopped the person. "It's so late, Father should hurry up and rest, let's just get it ourselves."

Since Ji Yueqiao entered the house, he has been standing at the door waiting for someone to greet him. However, except for being asked by Song Xiren just after entering the door, no one paid any attention to him anymore.

Ji Yueqiao stood at the door, looking at the family in the house talking enthusiastically, only to feel embarrassed and aggrieved in his heart.

After Song Huaishu came out of the door of the hall, Lu Zhengan turned around and seemed to find Ji Yueqiao. "What are you doing standing at the door, find a place to sit yourself. By the way, are you hungry, do you want to let Huai Shu also help you cook a bowl of Lantern Festival? ”

When Ji Yueqiao heard Lu Zhengan say this, he recalled the person who had just taught him a lesson at the foot of the mountain, and the comparison between the two was like two people.

Just as Ji Yueqiao raised his chin and was about to take Qiao, Lu Zhengan suddenly laughed.

"Oh, Young Master Ji is golden and noble, we eat vulgar food in the countryside, we shouldn't be able to get into your eyes, I still don't have much to do."

As he spoke, Lu Zheng'an left the room without looking back, leaving Ji Yueqiao in the hall so angry that his whole face was about to crack.

After all, Ji Yueqiao is the young master of the Ji family, and Song Xiren is a little apprehensive when he sees Lu Zhengan treating him like this. After coming to the stove house, he said to Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu, who were boiling water: "The little master of the Ji family has never suffered at first glance, you treat him like this, there is no problem, right?" ”

When Lu Zhengan saw Song Xiren coming in, he was going to tell him about Ji Yueqiao. Hearing Song Xiren say this, he hurriedly put down the water scoop in his hand and instructed: "Father, this child is estimated to be living in our house for a while. From now on, you and your mother will treat him as if he doesn't exist, and ignore whatever he says or does. ”

"However, old lady Ji is there......" Song Xiren looked at the two of them with a twisted brow, and he still had some scruples about the Ji family in his heart.

"Don't worry, since the old lady has entrusted someone to me, she won't ask again. This kid is a guy who kicks his nose and face, and when no one pays attention to him, his own arrogance disappears. After speaking, Lu Zhengan saw that it was already late, and hurriedly persuaded him to go back to rest.

Song Xiren nodded, turned his head to look at Ji Yueqiao, who was sulking in the hall, and replied with his hands behind his back and went back to his room.

……

That night, Ji Yueqiao stayed in the warehouse of Lu Zheng'an's house.

Although the winter was still cold in the first spring, Lu Zhengan moved the carbon stove into the warehouse and helped Ji Yueqiao lay three layers of mattresses on the ground. It's so cold that it's not cold, it's just that the little young master who has never been treated like this has tears of grievance coming out of looking at the humble environment around him and hugging the quilt.

Ji Yue Hashimoto wanted to go back to the inn until dawn, but as for the demonic Lu Zheng'an, he would never be seen again in his life.

However, he had drunk alcohol before, and he had followed Lu Zhengan for so long, and he was already very tired. I held the quilt for less than half an hour, but after all, I couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep. By the time he was woken up by Lu Zhengan, the sky was already bright.

At this time, Ji Yueqiao still thought that he was at home, squinting his eyes and stretching out his hand, waiting for his subordinates to change his clothes. It's just that when Ji Yueqiao's hands were sore, and when he wanted to lose his temper, he only felt a sinking on his shoulders.

Ji Yueqiao opened his eyes and saw a bamboo basket hanging on his shoulder. And the one standing in front of him was not a subordinate who often served him, but the demonic Lu Zheng'an.

Ji Yueqiao stood up from the ground suddenly, looking at Lu Zheng'an, who seemed to be smiling in front of him, his eyes were full of defense. "What are you doing, I'm going home."

"If you can't go home, it doesn't matter if you and I say it, you have to nod the old lady. But my family doesn't have idlers, and if I don't work, I don't have anything to eat. As he spoke, Lu Zhengan pointed to the backpack hanging on Ji Yueqiao's shoulder, and continued: "I remember that you haven't done heavy work before, so let you do what you can first." Fill this basket with firewood this morning, and you'll be back for breakfast. ”

Seeing Ji Yueqiao carrying the back basket and contemplating with his eyes, Lu Zhengan reminded: "You don't have to think about escaping, I will keep an eye on you." ”

Hearing this, Ji Yueqiao looked up at Lu Zhengan suddenly, his eyes full of humiliation.

At this moment, Song Huaishu walked over to this side with Lu Xingyi, who had woken up from sleep. Seeing Ji Yueqiao's red-eyed eyes in the warehouse, Song Huaishu thought that Lu Zhengan had done something to Ji Yueqiao again, and hurriedly reached out and pulled his sleeve.

"Xingyi has a little cough these days, you go back to the house for her and put on her cloak. I'll wait to go down to the back mountain, and you can eat breakfast first, so you don't have to wait for me. ”

Hearing Lu Zhengan's words, Song Huaishu was a little worried and didn't want to ask more. Obediently answered, and then hugged Lu Xingyi out of the warehouse.

Ji Yueqiao, who was on the side, smelled the aroma of food wafting from the Lu family's stove house, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva. I wanted to have a fight with Lu Zhengan, but I thought that Lu Zhengan was merciless in attacking him last night, and I knew that I really dared to do this, and the stick in Lu Zhengan's hand would definitely not be just a simple play.

Raising his eyes and seeing that Lu Zhengan's expression did not move, Ji Yueqiao weighed it in his heart, and felt that Han Xin could still tolerate the humiliation of his crotch, and he just bowed his head to Lu Zhengan temporarily, and there was nothing unacceptable.

So, Ji Yueqiao, who had done a good job in psychological construction, walked out of the warehouse with his feet up, looked back and saw that Lu Zhengan was still standing in place, shook his head, and said to Lu Zhengan arrogantly: "Don't you want to work, let's go." ”

Lu Zhengan couldn't help but be a little amused when he saw his expression, took a hemp rope and an axe and walked towards the back mountain with Ji Yueqiao.

Although Ji Yueqiao was not satisfied with Lu Zheng'an's arrangement for him to work, after following Lu Zheng'an up the mountain, Ji Yueqiao walked around with a basket on his back like a bird out of a cage. I always felt that everything I saw was new, as if I had never seen it before.

Seeing him doing this, Lu Zhengan ignored him, pulled out the branches of the trees that had been broken by the wind on the side of the road from the dead leaves, and trimmed them into a pile.

And Ji Yueqiao, who was full of novelty, looked at Lu Zhengan for a while, and also learned to pick up some dead wood and stuff it into the back basket. After a while, the basket on Ji Yueqiao's back was stuffed to the brim.

As if he intended to show off with Lu Zhengan, Ji Yueqiao shook twice in front of him as if inadvertently after filling the back basket. Lu Zheng'an, who had been immersed in his work, walked around twice in front of him, and then leaned down and beat the firewood into bundles, and said to Ji Yueqiao without raising his head: "Since the back basket is full, let's go back." ”

As he spoke, Lu Zhengan knotted the hemp rope, raised his feet and came to the back basket of Ji Yue Bridge, and lifted the back basket in front of Ji Yue Bridge. "On your back, let's go."

Ji Yueqiao originally thought that these pieces of wood were light and fluttering, and carrying a basket of firewood on his back was just a piece of cake.

However, when he followed Lu Zhengan for more than ten meters, he felt that his shoulders were about to be strangled by the back basket on his back. Seeing Lu Zheng'an dragging an earwood that was more than him and walking like a fly, Ji Yueqiao couldn't pull this face away and asked him to stop and rest.

Nearly three quarters of an hour later, Ji Yueqiao finally carried the firewood home with Lu Zhengan. When he unloaded the basket, Ji Yueqiao only felt that his grandfather, who had passed away for many years, was waving to him.

Ji Yueqiao didn't care whether there was pickle on the ground, and sat on the steps of the hall and gasped for breath.

Song Huaishu and Song Lan, who were coaxing Lu Xingyi to play in the house, couldn't help but be a little worried when they looked at Ji Yueqiao, who was tired and pale-faced under the eaves.

The two of them wanted to step forward to see his situation, but they stopped thinking of Lu Zhengan's previous instructions.

Lu Zhengan threw the firewood he had dragged back into the firewood shed, and after washing his hands and face with water, he took a cloth towel and wiped the water on his face while coming to Jiyue Bridge.

He raised his foot and kicked him, and said, "Just such a basket of firewood, right?" Go wash your face and wash your hands, it's time for us to eat. ”

As soon as he heard that he was finally going to eat, Ji Yueqiao's tears almost flowed down. Smelling the faint aroma wafting from the kitchen, Ji Yueqiao gritted his teeth and forced his trembling legs to walk towards the wooden basin step by step.

By the time Ji Yueqiao had washed up, Song Huaishu and Lu Zhengan had already brought their breakfast to the small table under the eaves.

Ji Yueqiao, who had been hungry for most of the night and all morning, looked at the porridge and side dishes on the table, although he felt a little shabby, but his stomach was as loud as a drum and thunder, so that he couldn't care about anything else, so he sat on a small stool and picked up the bowl and poured most of the bowl of millet porridge first. Then he took the steamed bun handed over by Lu Zheng'an, and devoured the side dishes.

After a stormy meal, Ji Yueqiao, who was full of food and drink, rested on the wall of the stove house, and burped contentedly with his bulging belly.

Lu Zhengan drank the rice porridge in his bowl, looked at Ji Yueqiao's appearance, and did not continue to call him, got up and put away the dishes and chopsticks on the table into the kitchen.

Song Huaishu saw Lu Zheng'an enter the stove house and hurriedly followed. Looking at Ji Yueqiao, who was slumped on the stool at the door, Song Huaishu pointed at him and asked Lu Zhengan in a low voice, "Is he okay?" Do I still listen to you on the road? ”

Lu Zhengan glanced at Ji Yueqiao and replied: "There are mountain cols all around, and I still have a guy style in my hand, do you think he dares to be disobedient?" ”

Hearing Lu Zhengan say this, Song Huaishu remembered that he deliberately scared Ji Yueqiao last night, and couldn't help but laugh.

This kid looked arrogant and domineering, but he didn't expect to be cowardly. If you scare it lightly, you will be honestly like a quail. I don't think he's really bad by nature, but he's spoiled by the people around him. If you guide you with your heart, it will not be difficult to get back on the right path. ”

"You're right, the Ji family has a complicated environment in Beijing, so it's not surprising that he can grow up like this." Lu Zhengan put the cleaned dishes and chopsticks into the vegetable cabinet, turned to Song Huaishu and said, "Wait a minute, if you're okay, let's go down the mountain to see if the girl is at home." ”

Song Huaishu helped Lu Zhengan wash the rag and spread it flat on the lid of the pot. Hearing Lu Zhengan say this, I couldn't help but feel a little surprised. "You and Yingchun are like two fighting cocks when they meet now, why do you suddenly want to go to her?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhengan glared at Song Huaishu with some dissatisfaction, "Isn't that teasing that little girl, besides, I'm so much older than her, how can I be as knowledgeable as her." ”

Hearing this, Song Huaishu was even more surprised. "And what are you looking for her to do?"

"I don't want to find a playmate for the little young master of the Ji family, someone is playing with him, I don't believe this kid is still thinking about running."

Song Huaishu never knew how Lu Zhengan was going to correct Ji Yueqiao's temperament, and now that he heard that he had to find him a playmate, the whole person was even more confused.

Lu Zhengan looked puzzled at him, but he just smiled and didn't explain much. When Ji Yueqiao was almost rested, Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu hugged Lu Xingyi and beckoned Ji Yueqiao to walk towards Lujia Village.

Lu Xingyi was very curious about his little cousin, lying on his father's shoulder, gnawing on his fingers, and at Ji Yueqiao.

Ji Yueqiao didn't have much patience with his little nephew, let alone a little doll who was still nursing. followed Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu all the way with his head down, ignoring Lu Xingyi who was smirking at him.

Because spring had just begun, there was no work to be done either in the fields or in the mountains. As soon as the adults were idle, the children in the village were running around playing wildly.

As soon as Lu Zheng'an and the others entered the village, the youngest grandson of Mrs. Ge's family and Zhou Xuanbao of the widow's family were leading a group of seven or eight-year-old dolls to play the game of "generals" fighting. After seeing Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu enter the village, a group of children ran around Lu Zhengan and the others before running elsewhere.

Ji Yueqiao, who was following behind Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu, wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at the group of dirty children, his face full of disgust. "It's been a long time since they've taken a bath, and they don't look as good as beggars."
