Chapter Seventy-Two: Entering the Village

Sitting in the carriage, looking at some familiar scenery on the side of the road, Zhang Xiaohua seems to be in a dream, it is the third time to walk this road today, but this time the car is missing the second brother Zhang Xiaohu, and then look at Qiu Tong sitting next to him, and feel the mystery of life fate in his heart.

If he hadn't stolen Qiu Tong's money bag in the morning, if he had run slowly and hadn't recovered the emerald green money bag, if he hadn't known this Qiu Tong sister, then now he should have taken the carriage back to Lu Town. After all, the dart game and the ethereal faction don't want themselves, so they can't delay the second brother's future here.

Thinking of Zhang Xiaohu, the corners of Zhang Xiaohua's mouth not only showed a smile, the second brother originally wanted to break into Pingyang City, and he didn't want to be dragged by himself to practice martial arts, but his qualifications were praised by martial artists.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's confused eyes, Qiu Tong couldn't help but ask with concern: "Xiaohua, are you sleepy, if you are tired, then take a nap first, and when you see Miss later, you must be refreshed." ”

Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "It's okay, Sister Qiutong, I just feel that my arm is a little sore, I can't use my strength, I am so tired that I am not tired, I am busy at home from morning to night on weekdays, and I will not feel tired, of course I won't be at this time." ”

Qiu Tong looked at Zhang Xiaohua lovingly and said: "Seeing you is like seeing my younger brother, but he is a scholar, and he is not as able to endure hardships as you, God is pitiful, you have to work in the field at such a young age, I really wronged you." ”

Zhang Xiaohua shook her head disapprovingly and said: "Sister, I don't know if I haven't been to the ground, in the countryside, if I don't work in the field and plant crops, there is no food to eat, the boys in the family, but I am not the only one who has to go to the field when he reaches a certain age, I have long been used to it, there is nothing wronged or wronged." ”

But at this time, Qiu Tong, who is overflowing with maternal love, thinks so much, he feels that this Zhang Xiaohua is a copy of his younger brother, who has suffered enough in the countryside, and now that he is under his wing, he must ensure the stability of his life, and the love in his eyes is becoming more and more intense.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua remembered something and asked, "By the way, sister, you just said that Miss wanted to see me in a while, who is that?

Qiu Tong listened, smiled and said: "Miss is the owner of our Huanxi Villa, she treats us very well, you don't have to pay too much attention to anything, just say some good things respectfully, Miss has always been kind-hearted, I will definitely take you in after seeing you as a little wrestler." ”

Zhang Xiaohua heard the word "take in", and the heart that was originally put down, couldn't help but feel apprehensive again, after all, it was a teenager, although the mood has matured, but today it has been rejected again and again, the kind of blindness that first broke into shijie is of course less, and the kind of self-confidence in the heart is also less, but after all, this is a process of human maturity, sharpened in the cruelty of reality, and it is inevitable to find balance from uneasiness.

The carriage walked the road in the morning, but when it arrived at a junction, it did not go forward to the avenue of the Ethereal Villa, but turned the path on the side of Xiangyou, and there were many people living next to the path.

The carriage walked for a while, through a lot of alleys, suddenly there was a big square in front, a lot of trees were planted around the field, it was very lush, it was facing a gate that was bigger than the Lotus Dart Bureau, there were also two stone lions on both sides of the door, it looked more powerful than the stone lions of the Lotus Dart Bureau, the red lacquer gate was not opened, and no one was standing there, there was a black plaque on the top of the door, just like the dart board, and there were four words on it, but unfortunately Zhang Xiaohua only knew the word "Villa", it is estimated that this is Huanxi Villa.

Sure enough, Qiu Tong next to him whispered to Zhang Xiaohua: "Xiaohua, this is our Huanxi Villa." ”

Zhang Xiaohua's heart moved at this time, and asked: "Sister Qiutong, our Huanxi Villa is so close to the Ethereal Villa, do we have anything to do with the Ethereal Villa?"

Qiu Tong looked at Zhang Xiaohua and said: "I didn't expect that your mind is quite thoughtful, when you really stay in the villa, I will naturally tell you, but I can't say it at this time." ”

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she didn't ask in detail, in fact, she secretly slandered in her heart: "What else does it matter, it's so close, hehe, bullying me as a child?"

In fact, even Zhang Xiaohua didn't think about it at this time, how could she think so much, and according to Qiu Tong's words, how could she know so much, if it was herself a year ago, would she still be able to get a lot of information from the clues as now?

The carriage galloped towards the gate of the villa, but did not stop, but turned left in front of the door, along the high wall all the way forward, and waited for a while, before stopping at the edge of a corner gate, saying that it was a corner gate, but it was also very large, at least four carriages could pass, this corner gate was guarded, the guard was very familiar with Qiu Tong, looked at the things in the carriage, and asked Zhang Xiaohua about it, waved his hand, and let the carriage gallop in.

Zhang Xiaohua had never entered the villa, thinking that she was going to get off the car when she entered the door, but unexpectedly, the carriage had no intention of stopping, and it was a long time inside, passing by many farmlands, woods, and even ponds, and then stopped in front of a small circular door.

Qiu Tong beckoned Zhang Xiaohua to get out of the carriage, and the carriage went straight away.

Walk into the round small door, there is a hole in it, the yard is a big shelf, it is full of green plants, the leaves are like triangles, move with the wind, there are stone tables and stone benches under the shelf, in the corner of the yard, there is a pond, from a distance, there are a little red, red, green and green fish swimming in it, the right hand of the yard is a row of more than a dozen houses, it looks bigger than Mr. Liu's house in Baligou, the left hand is an open space, placed some stone locks, weapons and other things, it is estimated that it is a place to practice martial arts on weekdays, it is still a round door in front of it, but I don't know where it leads。

Qiu Tong took Zhang Xiaohua into the courtyard, pointed to the stone bench under the shelf and said, "Xiaohua, you sit on the stool and rest now, I will go to report to Miss, and I will take you to see Miss in a while." ”

Zhang Xiaohua nodded in agreement, put his little burden on the stone table, sat down by himself, Qiu Tong saw him sit down, smiled at him, and then walked through the round small door in front of him, turned a few corners, and disappeared.

Zhang Xiaohua sat on the stool and waited, after a while, he didn't see Qiu Tong come back, he was a little impatient, so he stood up and walked around, looking at the unknown plants on the shelf, and then looking at the small fish swimming in the pond, Zuihou still walked to the side of the weapon, picked up a knife from the shelf, split it twice, picked up a gun, and stabbed it twice, and several other weapons that could not be named were also pounded by Zhang Xiaohua a few times.

When Zhang Xiaohua was fiddling with the weapon with great interest, he suddenly heard a cough, and then someone said sharply: "Put the weapon there, don't move blindly." ”

Zhang Xiaohua was so frightened that she hurriedly put the hammer-like thing in her hand on the shelf, and then she looked back, only to see a tall red-faced old man standing at the small door, about fifty years old, with gray hair, standing there without anger and self-authority.

The old man strode over and asked sharply, "Which child are you and why are you here?"

When she got closer, Zhang Xiaohua saw that the sleeve of the old man's left hand was tucked into his waist, and only his right hand was exposed, and it turned out to be a one-armed old man.

Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly replied: "My name is Zhang Xiaohua, and Sister Qiutong brought me over, saying that she asked me to grow medicinal herbs." ”

The old man didn't listen, but when he heard it, he was even more angry, stomped his foot, and said, "This Qiu Tong, what the hell, find a child to come over, can you have a few strengths and do the work in the fields?"

After speaking, he didn't wait for Zhang Xiaohua to speak, turned around and passed through the small door again, turned a few corners like an autumn tree, and disappeared.

Only Zhang Xiaohua was left, standing under the shelf, inexplicably. But this time he didn't dare to move blindly, so he sat down obediently and counted the ants on the ground.

Let's say that Qiu Tong left Zhang Xiaohua in the yard, entered the inner door by himself, walked through a few yards, walked through a few gardens, walked through a few circular corridors, and then came to a rather large red-walled courtyard.

Opposite the courtyard is a hall, the doors and windows of the hall are carved with juanli patterns, very good-looking, at this time the sky is not dark, the hall has been lit with lights, there are a few tables and chairs in the hall, and there are some decorations, all of which are very gorgeous, there is also an incense burner in the corner, the smoke of the rising incense floats, and the hall is full of faint fragrance.

Qiu Tong entered the hall to see that there was no one, and then went to the side room to see, but there was still no one, so she had to go out again and look for it somewhere else.

Not long after, Qiu Tong accompanied a girl in her twenties into the gate, only to see that this girl was dressed in a common red suit, with a sword hanging from her waist, her black hair curled up at will and draped over her shoulders, her skin was very fair, her skin was like clotted fat, her eyes were like dai, her eyebrows were like dai, she looked heroic, and she did not have the weakness of ordinary women, and she was probably the owner of Huanxi Villa.

As she walked, the woman asked, "Why didn't you find someone familiar?" I don't know the details, how can I take it to the villa indiscriminately?"

Although it is a reproachful word, it also sounds like there are no fireworks, and it does not make people think that she is angry. Qiu Tong smiled and said, "My good young lady, you can't rest assured that Qiu Tong is doing things? Besides, Uncle Qu didn't stop him, his old man knows the severity, how can he recommend it to me if he is not 100% sure?"

When the young lady entered the hall, Qiu Tong carefully poured a glass of water for her, and continued: "Besides, his second brother has also entered the Lotus Dart Bureau, and the Lotus Dart Bureau must go to their house to investigate, and if there is anything abnormal, it will naturally be able to find out, and this little guy is really interesting." ”
