In the low-rise orchard of Chengjiazhuang, Zhang Zongle sneakily climbed the peach tree, secretly picked the peaches, and secretly ate them, the flesh was sweet and delicious.

"I guessed you'd steal the fruit. ”

"No, the peach fell to the ground unclaimed......"

"Lie, peach twenty yuan, if you don't give money, then hand it over to the boss to deal with!"

"Don't, don't~"

Shi Liu's hands were crossed on his waist, baring his teeth and grinning like a domineering battle, Zhang Zongle wanted to cry without tears, looked at the peach in his hand, and hesitantly took out twenty yuan.

Just when the cart broke down, Zhang Zongle went to the orchard with fertilizer, his whole body was sore and smelly, and he was blackmailed by Shi Liu, he felt very uncomfortable, so after waiting for Shi Liu's departure, he kicked over the empty wooden barrel and walked away to relax.

There is a rock pile in the hidden depths of the orchard, and the rock pile is messy and complex like a labyrinth, Zhang Zongle thought to himself - this is an excellent hiding place, it is very likely that the Northern Han Jinyi guard spies will be locked inside, if it is empty, it is good to hide in it and take a nap on weekdays.

Having made up his mind, Zhang Zongle walked towards the path of the rock crevices, the rock piles are naturally formed terrain, each rock is huge (three meters high), each crevice is tortuous, and as he walked deeper and deeper, a petite woman threw herself into his arms.

"Girl stand firm, is she hurt?"

"I'm fine. The girl who tripped over the stone is the daughter of the owner of Cheng Zhuang, named Cheng Xi, she has suffered from a serious leg disease since she was a child, and it is very difficult to walk with a limp, and she is locked in the room on weekdays, and occasionally sneaks out, obviously she got lost in the rock pile, and met Zhang Zongle by mistake, looking at the strange gardener, she asked softly: "Do you know me?"

"I don't know...... I'm the Cheng family's manor, what about you?"

"I'm Xi'er, and my mother is a nanny and maid in Chengfu, so I came in with her, did some small work in the manor, made a meal, and slept peacefully. Cheng Xi deliberately concealed her identity, because she was Miss Cheng's family, although the housekeepers and servants around her were respectfully serving, but behind her back they laughed at her disabled legs, so she longed for a friend and confidant to accompany her.

Zhang Zongle looked at Cheng Xi, even though her legs were disabled, she was lively and cute and easy to approach, this person was more able to get along with people with sound limbs but a vicious heart, so the two chatted in the rock pile.

Cheng Xi listened with a smile most of the time, that innocent smile is very rare in the world, on the contrary, Zhang Zongle's mouth has never been closed since it was opened, and he crackled and exaggerated words, from Pangu to open the world, Nuwa made people by pinching the soil, the two emperors of Yan and Huang fought against Chiyou, and then to Dayu Immortal to control the water...... There is an endless stream of myths and stories.

"Do you feel annoyed?" Two hours later, Zhang Zongle's dry mouth stopped, Cheng Xi was happy, and said slowly: "Don't get bored, Brother Le, don't misunderstand...... Xi'er loves to listen to stories very much, and the two of us see each other more often. ”

"Haha~ My stories are endless, you can't finish listening to them in your life......" It is rare to meet someone who appreciates him, Zhang Zongle smiled, but his stomach was rumbling, and he asked tiredly and hungrily: "Do you know the way out of the stone pile?"

"I don't know, I rarely come out ......"

"It's okay, I can fly you out!"

Zhang Zongle looked at the pile of rocks that were not too high, so he wanted to carry Cheng Xi on his back and swim out on it with light skills, but he found that his clothes were dirty and smelly, and looked at Cheng Xi embarrassedly, Cheng Xi took out a brown sachet from his cuffs, handed it over and said: "Xi'er doesn't mind the smell, this is to make the sachet by yourself and give it to Brother Le, please Brother Le hide it." ”

"Thank you Xi'er, you are the most simple and lovely girl I have ever seen, come, I will take you out of the stone pile and into the sky!"

"Fly?" Cheng Xi thought that Zhang Zongle was joking, but he never expected Zhang Zongle to carry Cheng Xi on his back, step lightly on the rocks and leap up, facing the cool wind, and wandering on the top of the rock pile.

Cheng Xi, who has a calf disease, even struggles to walk, afraid of contemptuous eyes and indifferent snickering, and hides in the room with a low mood all day long, now, she can face the wind, move forward quickly, looking at the scenery in the lower places, and can't help but cry out with joy and cry out in her heart: "Ah~ I can fly, I can fly freely like a bird!"

"Yes, shout out loudly! Life is to live oneself happily!" Zhang Zongle happily jumped out of the rock pile with Cheng Xi on his back, and the friendship between the two became deep and meaningful.

In the courtyard of the lower floor, Ba Tianxiang was attacked by a wasp, his whole face was stung by a bee sting, and it was so swollen and deformed that it was difficult to breathe, he held his injured leg and cursed namelessly: "In conscience, I am good to you, but since you let the hornet sting me!

In addition, Nameless mistakenly thought that the hornet was still chasing after him, and rushed out of the pavilion with all his strength, ran for half an hour, and strayed into the middle courtyard, where he heard a quarrel while breathing, so he leaned against the corner of the wall to peek.

The quarrel was Cheng Yi and Cheng Xiao (the eldest son and the third son) of the Cheng family manor, Cheng Yi looked nervous, his eyes were erratic, he grabbed Cheng Xiao's collar tightly and said: "Third child, don't be nosy, you can't see what you do......"

"Impossible, if you do this, it will affect the Cheng family, you will deal with the things in the dungeon immediately!" Cheng Xiao broke free with all his might, his tone was commanding, Cheng Yi's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated and said: "In the future, the Cheng family's manor will be inherited by the big family, and at that time I was also the trustee of Huadu City, on the contrary, you have a humble background, don't pretend anymore, otherwise, you will not have a good life in the future, even a beggar!"

Cheng Xiao's eyes were bloodshot, and he mocked: "Don't be arrogant, don't forget that the Cheng family's family motto is not to be an official, not to be a regent, you use the power of your father's manor and your father-in-law (an official of the Supervision Mansion) to use your power for personal gain, if you let your father know about the whole thing, do you think you are qualified and capable to inherit the career?"

Faced with the naked threat, Cheng Yi was furious, he pushed Cheng Xiao to the ground, pointed at him and warned: "Brute, don't break blindly if you don't have a certificate!"

When the words landed, Cheng Yi turned around and left, Cheng Xiao hated him, bit his lip hard and oozing blood, and the killing intent was in full swing, so he picked up the stone brick next to him and prepared to sneak attack and kill.

The nameless man in the corner of the wall looked at it in his eyes, afraid in his heart, he remembered that Zhang Zongle had mentioned it - the three brothers of the Cheng family were all smiling and bad-hearted, and then remembered the disappearance of the spy of the Northern Han Jinyiwei...... At the critical moment, someone behind the nameless person spoke: "What are you peeking at?"

The low and hoarse voice frightened Nameless to stand unsteadily, this strange voice came from Cheng Ming (the second son), he was tall and thin, his facial features were extraordinarily protruding, and his chin was weirdly long, which made people feel very terrifying.

At this time, Cheng Ming bent over and reached out to grab the nameless ......
