Zhao Xifeng didn't dare to look more, for fear that Zhong Li would suddenly lose control, this was a life-threatening matter, so he withdrew his gaze, touched his nose, and pretended that nothing happened.

I only heard Zhong Li continue: "According to my observation in the past few days, your tiger leap style has its form, but it still lacks its potential. ”

"Is there anything tangible or powerful?" Zhao Xifeng frowned.

"Not bad," Zhong Li nodded slightly, "The tiger is the king of beasts, the best beast in the world, and has its own pride and might, and you have been fighting against me these days, all of them are weak and strong, and you have already decided that you are invincible in your heart.

Zhao Xifeng smiled bitterly: "The tiger in your body is the ancestor of the tiger, the king of kings! ”

Zhong Li curled the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "This is a problem you have to solve, but if you help me train the tiger, I will also give you a chance, which is not inferior to Lingshan Jiuchang, it depends on whether you can catch it or not." ”

Zhao Xifeng laughed and said proudly: "I, Zhao Xifeng, have been in the town for many years, and I rely on the four words of "peace in the bag!" You can rest assured, there is only a cake that you can't draw, and there is no rice that I can't swallow. ”

"That's very good," the smile on Zhong Li's face became brighter, "Then you can tidy up your clothes in the past two days, prepare enough dry food, and come to the Drum Tower to find me on August 15." ”

With that, Zhong Li stood up and walked out the door.

"Where are you going?" Zhao Xifeng asked loudly behind his back.

Zhong Li's footsteps did not stop: "Back to the Drum Tower, since you can't open the tiger's eye anymore, what are you still doing here?"

"My dad also spread mutton patties for you in the evening!" Zhao Xifeng continued to shout.

"Keep it for yourself. “

Zhao Xifeng stared at the door for a long time, and after making sure that Zhong Li had gone far away, he sighed and said: "This aunt, can be regarded as leaving, in the past few days, I have been beaten up for serving tea and pouring water for cooking, I have not been so filial to my old lady who I have never met!

Li Xuan, who had just put away the chessboard and chess pieces, walked up to Zhao Xifeng and said weakly: "I think Zhong Jiaoxi is good, this time thanks to Jiaoxi, I saved my life, Brother Xifeng don't say bad things about her behind her back." ”

"It's just that there are more stinky problems with a princess," Zhao Xifeng snorted coldly, turned his head to Li Xuan and asked, "It's okay to be idle, let's go to Ku'er's side?"

Li Xuan nodded happily.

Ku'er is a neighbor of Zhao Xifeng and Li Xuan's new arrival, a handyman in the juggling class in the new town, and now lives with his adoptive father in the courtyard diagonally opposite Zhao Xifeng's house.

Ku'er is thirteen or fourteen years old this year, but because she has been malnourished since she was a child, she is thin and small, and she still looks like she is eight or nine years old, and she doesn't even have a few hairs.

Ku'er's adoptive father is also a handyman in the juggling team, called Pinggui, who cleans the backstage with his son on weekdays and carries some heavy objects, according to him, when he was young when he performed in Kyoto, once after the audience left, he lost a child in the seat, and he found it and raised it by his side, because the dinner that day was bitter and bitter vegetables and steamed buns, so the child was named Ku'er.

Although the wages paid by the juggling team to the miscellaneous servants are meager, they are not unable to support a single person with a child. Many people in the troupe said that Ku'er was simply a child stolen by Pinggui, so that when someone came to the door to collect gambling debts, he would not be forced to go to a dead end when he saw that he still had a child.

A few days ago, when Zhao Xifeng bought an early home for Zhong Li on the road, he heard a child crying in the yard next to him, went in to take a look, and found that a thin and obscene middle-aged man was beating a thinner child, so he stepped forward to stop and said a few words for the child.

Later, Zhao Xifeng often came over with Li Xuan to have a look, and he would also bring some food, of course, it was paid by the Emperor Jizong.

Although Ku'er has a hard life, but people are not bitter, he has a cheerful and cheerful personality, and always feels that his life will be better when he grows up, and he often tells Zhao Xifeng and Li Xuan about the various experiences and experiences that he has encountered in the north and south of the river over the years.

Today, Pinggui went to the team to help, leaving Ku'er alone to watch the house, Zhao Xifeng didn't knock on the door, shouted and jumped in from the courtyard wall, Li Xuan hurriedly screamed twice and didn't stop, and had no choice but to do the same.

In the courtyard, Ku'er was humming the Northwest folk song he had just learned, washing clothes in the yard, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he screamed in surprise, wiped his hands vigorously on his body, and greeted him: "Xifeng, Xiaoxuan, you usually don't come over in the afternoon!"

Zhao Xifeng said with a smile: "After being in the cage for a long time, I have returned to nature, and a tiger has walked away at home, so I naturally want to come out to breathe and celebrate." ”

Ku'er didn't understand in a daze, and turned his head to look at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Brother Ku, don't listen to his nonsense, it's just that Zhong Jiaoxi didn't look at him and ran out to be lazy." ”

All three laughed at the same time.

The three of them chatted in the courtyard for a while, Ku'er introduced the two into the house, turned out a small package wrapped in brown paper under the pillow and handed it to Li Xuan, and said with a smile: "You came at the right time, Sister Chun in the team gave me a pack of nougat yesterday evening, which was bought when the stage opened in Liangcheng, and there is no sale in the town, so hurry up and take it, I want my father to come back to see me, but I can't keep it." ”

Li Xuan looked up at Zhao Xifeng embarrassedly, and the latter said with a smile: "Take it, the rare goods brought by Brother Ku'er, let's go back and try the freshness." ”

Li Xuan thanked him again and again, and put the package into his arms.

"I'll bring you some lamb patties this time tomorrow. Zhao Xifeng patted Ku'er's shoulder and said, Ku'er responded with a smile.

After that, it was time for Ku'er to tell the story to Zhao and Li, and the three of them chatted until dinner time, and then they reluctantly said goodbye.

Coming out of Ku'er's house, Zhao Xifeng said to Li Xuan with a solemn expression: "You must not open this package, send it directly to the school Qian Fuzi, don't eat anything that Ku'er gave you in the future, you can't take a sip of water, and you are not allowed to see him alone, understand?"

Li Xuan looked at Zhao Xifeng and stammered, but he didn't react for a while.

Zhao Xifeng sneered and said: "Have you forgotten the knife that stabbed me in the back at the beginning of the year? The murderer has not been caught yet, all the people in the troupe are concentrated in the accommodation provided by the Sun family, why did the two miscellaneous servants come out to live alone, and they still happen to live next to my house? The troupe has been in town for a while, and Sister Chun gave the candy bought by Liang Cheng to Brother Ku? I'm afraid that the things have already been prepared, just waiting for us to get acquainted! Don't make a noise about it, we'll just watch them coldly and see what kind of tricks they can play this time!"
