Volume 1 Tongxi Fengyun Chapter 1 Listening to Poetry in the School Seeing the black rider's heart vibrate
Ling Zhi followed Lin Hai back to the kitchen in the backyard of a large mansion, and as soon as the two stepped into the door of the back kitchen, a sudden roar exploded in Ling Zhi's ears.
"Isn't it where to be lazy again?"
A fat man with all his facial features huddled together and staring at small eyes pinched his waist and yelled at Ling Zhi viciously, with every roar he made, the fat on his body was shaking, and it was a humanoid meat ball.
This fat man is a butler in the back kitchen, there are four housekeepers in the back kitchen, he is one of them, each housekeeper assigns different tasks in the back kitchen, and there is a big butler in the back kitchen above him, who is in charge of all matters in the back kitchen.
In this huge mansion, there is a guard office, a kitchen office, a dancing girl office, a maid's office, a procurement office, an account office, a penal office, and an elixir department. Above these departments are the family members of the owner of the mansion, who are equivalent to the royal family, and the emperor-like figure in this mansion is the owner of the mansion.
How many slaves there are in this huge mansion, Ling Zhi doesn't know until now, anyway, the number is huge, this fat man is a housekeeper who belongs to the back kitchen.
"Our City Lord's Mansion will raise you who eat white food, or your skin is itchy again, and you really haven't opened the roof for three days."
Hearing this, Ling Zhi and Lin Hai were shocked and frightened, before he saw a small boy in the back kitchen being beaten to death, and was directly pulled to a mass grave not far from the city by the guards in the palace and thrown away, this kitchen place has no idea how many young bones have been devoured.
Thinking of this, Ling Zhi was scolded by the housekeeper in the back kitchen with his scalp, and at the same time trembled and hurriedly moved the firewood out of the back kitchen, and hurriedly boiled the water, and the cook in the back kitchen would use it later.
"Hurry up and feed the eldest lady's horse, and clean the stable by the way, if you don't get it, be careful of being whipped by the eldest lady."
"Why don't you hurry up and get the splitting done, do you want me to help you?"
The fat kitchen butler dragged his fat belly and scolded viciously behind Ling Zhi's back.
With a "snap", Ling Zhi raised his axe and began to chop firewood, and in front of Ling Zhi was a small hill of firewood. Ling Zhi picked up a piece of firewood in his hand, stood up, and split the axe in his hand, and the firewood was divided into two halves with a "pop". Immediately afterwards, Ling Zhi hurriedly took down a piece of firewood and repeated the action just now.
"Smack"
"Smack"
After dozens of times in a row, sweat also flowed from Ling Zhi's forehead, which kept flowing down his cheeks and dripping on the ground.
"I'm so tired"
Ling Zhi wanted to put the axe down, his face showed a fierce look, and he was cursing the dead fat butler in his heart, but when he thought that if he was seen by the fat man's kitchen butler, he would definitely be scolded again, and he wanted to stand up and breathe, and he had a sore back, and he didn't dare to stretch his muscles and bones at all.
"Huh" Ling Zhi took a deep breath, continued to chop wood, and suddenly remembered the breathing method that the strange old man inadvertently revealed, and his body method became so flexible because of the training of the strange old man, so Ling Zhi chopping wood according to what the old man said, while running that special breathing method.
As soon as Ling Zhi mobilized that set of exercises, a warm current rose from the dantian, and then flowed through all parts of the body to moisturize various organs, and suddenly the fatigue was not so heavy, and his heart was suddenly happy, he had to sigh at the wonder of this exercise, and also thanked the strange old man.
I didn't expect that the strange old man's exercise to be so useful, I hadn't paid attention to it before, but Ling Zhi found that this exercise was indeed useful, and he worked harder.
Gradually, the small hill in front of him became thinner and neatly placed on the ground like firewood, and Ling Zhi wiped his sweat and exhaled deeply. After a busy and busy day, Ling Zhi was tired and sweating profusely after running up and down for a while, and finally finished chopping today's firewood.
"I don't know what Lin Hai was called to do by the housekeeper"
Ling Zhi and Lin Hai were both assigned to the back kitchen, but the things they usually had to do were different. Ling Zhi felt angry at the thought that the kitchen butler might be eating happily in a cool place now.
By the way, I still have to feed the horses, Ling Zhi, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly remembered this matter, so he hurried to the stable.
Today I want to feed the eldest lady's horse, called Snow Marks, because this horse has a snow-white snow-like mark on its neck, so the eldest lady named this horse Snow Marks.
Feeding this horse is not like feeding ordinary horses, this snow mark can be particular, you have to use good grain and grass, mixed with pure goat's milk to feed, and then feed fruit to help the horse digest. You also have to regularly clean the horse's hair bun and clean up what is hidden on its body.
His grandmother's, this horse is better than people eat, Ling Zhi thought indignantly. He was carrying a bundle of high-quality grain and grass and was hurrying to the stables where the eldest lady kept snow marks.
As soon as Ling Zhi walked there, he saw a tall and mighty crimson horse standing in the stable, with a snow-white mark on its neck, there was no doubt that this was a snow mark.
"I'm here, I'm bringing you something to eat."
Ling Zhi took the bundle of high-quality grain and grass, untied the rope, and slowly poured the grain and grass into the food trough, as soon as Xue Zhen saw the grain and grass coming in, he immediately stretched out the horse's head, sniffed it with his nose, and then retracted his head again, without the slightest intention of moving his mouth.
"Ma Zuzong, what do you want?"
Ling Zhi said to himself when he saw Xue Zhen's indifferent appearance. Seeing the appearance of Snow Scar, Ling Zhi hurriedly stretched out his hand to touch Snow Scar's head.
"What are you doing, you dead minion?"
Suddenly, a coquettish voice came, and before Ling Zhi could react, a hot pain suddenly came from behind him.
Ling Zhi turned around and saw that a delicate woman in gorgeous clothes was holding a long whip and a group of guards, staring at Ling Zhi viciously, seeing Ling Zhi turn his head, he waved his hand and directly aimed at Ling Zhi's head.
"Smack"
Ling Zhi instantly felt a hot pain on his entire face, the corners of his eyes were blocked by scarlet liquid, he knew that he was bleeding, and he felt the blood flowing down his cheeks.
"Dead minion, how dare you feed my snow marks"
The woman in the gorgeous costume said viciously, and then kicked the bucket of fresh goat's milk and a bucket of fresh fruit that Ling Zhi had brought over, and scattered the goat's milk and fruit on the ground.
"How dare you feed these pigs and dogs to my snow marks."
The woman in the gorgeous costume shouted, her eyes revealing a hint of murderous intent, which shocked Ling Zhi's heart.
"Miss, you took it personally, dirty your hands"
One of the guards bowed to the woman in fine clothes with a very flattering look.
Ling Zhizheng felt sorry for the thing that was sprinkled on the ground, and when he heard the gorgeous clothes say this, Ling Zhi knew that the woman in front of him was the eldest lady in this mansion, the pearl of the city lord of Tongxi City, Du Ruoran, the eldest lady. Ling Zhi looked at Du Ruoran's face at the moment, although in the eyes of many people, Du Ruoran was so radiant and famous, but her words and deeds at the moment showed that she was an extremely selfish and vicious person in her heart.
"Miss, it was Steward Pang who told me this"
Before Ling Zhi finished speaking, Du Ruoran slapped Ling Zhi in the face, and with a loud slap, Du Ruoran's arm drove a burst of momentum and Ling Zhi was fanned away. Ling Zhi struggled to stand up, shocked and frightened by Du Ruoran's own martial arts cultivation, he really didn't expect that this delicate-looking eldest lady would be extraordinary, and he was beaten away without even reacting.
Ling Zhi wiped the bloodshot from the corner of his mouth, he finally reacted, it must be that Steward Pang deliberately ordered him to do so, Steward Pang is the fat man, sooner or later he will teach you a lesson, Ling Zhi thought viciously.
"It's beyond Miss Ben's surprise that you, a dead minion, can stand up."
A hint of surprise flashed in Du Ruoran's beautiful eyes, and he slowly stepped forward, staring at Ling Zhi innocently with wide eyes. These eyes look beautiful, but Ling Zhi knows that the more beautiful things are, the more they can kill people.
"Interesting, you should have committed a capital crime, but Miss Ben changed her mind and decided to make you my target for practice."
When Ling Zhi heard this, he was shocked, he heard from other people in the mansion that the target of the eldest lady was very miserable, although the food treatment was very good, but he might die at any time.
If this huge mansion is an empire, then this Du Ruoran is a princess, and a word can decide the life and death of countless domestic slaves.
"You come to my practice hall tomorrow to report, don't think about escaping, the entire Tongxi City is under the control of our Du family"
Du Ruoran returned to an extremely proud expression, in her eyes Ling Zhi was a minion.
"Don't get out of here yet"
Du Ruoran said coldly, Ling Zhi heard him say this, and hurriedly covered the wound on his face and left.
"Hmph, I have countless ways to make your life worse than death"
Du Ruoran looked at the direction Ling Zhi was walking and snorted coldly.
Ling Zhi felt a chill behind him, didn't dare to look back, and hurriedly quickened his pace. In the evening, the sun was setting, reflecting Ling Zhi's body and dragging a long shadow behind him.
"Call"
Ling Zhi walked out of the small door behind the City Lord's Mansion and let out a long sigh of relief, his face full of exhaustion.
This is absolutely a huge humiliation!
Ling Zhi hid at the base of a wall, gently wiping his wounds, after all, because he was too weak, if he was strong, how could he be bullied like this.
No, you have to be strong. Ling Zhi covered his chest, he had just been slapped by Du Ruoran, and now he was still shocked in his heart, he must master the power, yes, that weird old man, find that weird old man to learn from him.
After Ling Zhi cleared his thoughts, he knew what he wanted, and then he lay down in a bush, quietly looking at the magnificent and white main gate of the City Lord's Mansion not far away, with two white unicorn beasts standing at both ends.
Ling Zhi had never walked through that gate, which was the main entrance of the first wealthy family in Tongxi City. He looked down at his dirty miscellaneous uniform, and a hint of loss flashed in his eyes.
He knew in his heart that he would never be able to walk through that door in his own right, and that door would never be open for his humble handyman.
