Wear it quickly! My mad dog-like host!

The sky is covered with clouds.

People working in the fields are returning home one after another.

Originally practicing martial arts in the bamboo forest... no, it can only be said that everyone practicing simple self-defense skills also went back to their homes one after another.

Zhang Xingyuan went into the kitchen to get busy, and quickly prepared the meal and brought it to the table outside.

Qianghua washed her hands and sat down with her to eat under the sunset.

After everything was done, Zhang Xingyuan held a lantern and walked home quickly.

Practicing martial arts is hard and doing housework is annoying.

But none of these are as painful and boring as working in the fields.

He now somewhat understands why the adults in his family keep asking them to take an official position.

Walking back home under the moonlight.

In the yard, families are enjoying the shade.

The third aunt was beating the third sister with a cane. One look at the force of the attack and she knew that the master of today's family must have said something to the third aunt.

Zhang Xingyuan felt a sense of sympathy in his heart, but when he thought that he had been through this, the sympathy quickly dissipated.

"Grandma, I'm back!" Zhang Xingyuan said loudly.

Patriarch Zhang, who was discussing matters with his eldest daughter in the yard, rolled his eyes angrily, turned to scold her, "What? Do you want me to greet you in person?"

If Zhang Xingyuan dares to say yes, he will be the second person beaten tonight.

"Hehe, how can I ask grandma to come pick me up? I'll come back by myself." Zhang Xingyuan jumped up to Chief Zhang with a smile.

She took out the prescription she had collected for a long time from her arms and handed it to Patriarch Zhang, "Grandma, this is the prescription given by Aunt Mingbao. She said that if I want to continue on this path, I should prepare the medicine according to the above prescription. bath……"

Speaking of the latter, Zhang Xingyuan's voice became softer and quieter. She had read it. Although the medicine in this prescription was not expensive, it was not a small sum of money if used over time.

Third sister is not good at studying, so she probably has to take the same path as herself, which costs the same amount of money.

The second brother is also talking about getting married and needs a dowry.

The remaining two siblings are not much different in age. Whether it is studying or getting married, there is no way to prepare them in such a short time...

Patriarch Zhang took the prescription from Zhang Xingyuan, and after using the weak light to see the contents clearly, he sighed.

Who said the imperial examination was expensive, martial arts training was not much different.

"Use it first, and we'll talk about the future later." After much hesitation, Chief Zhang still felt that he should use it.

Everyone who has been beaten by her knows how high Zhang Mingbao's strength is. If Xingyuan can learn a third of her skills and get rid of the situation of attacking others with brute force, he might be able to make a name for himself on the battlefield. .

After such a long time, she understood in her heart that Zhang Mingbao, her sister's daughter, was ultimately separated from the Zhang family, and could not wholeheartedly think about the territory and interests of the Zhang family.

Thoughts were rolling back and forth in his heart, and Patriarch Zhang sighed again.

Although she can't wholeheartedly consider the interests of the Zhang family, at least she can distinguish between the inside and the outside, and she won't think about other outsiders. This is enough.

Naturally, the rest of the family would not object to the decision made by Patriarch Zhang. Although they were somewhat unfavorable, they did not say anything depressing.

"This prescription is precious. It is best to go to the county to get the medicine and distribute it to several drug stores. Don't leak the prescription." Chief Zhang reminded his family.

"I understand, mother." Zhang Mingfeng nodded.

Patriarch Zhang's other two daughters also nodded to express their understanding.

Patriarch Zhang was pleased to see that none of his three daughters had any objections. He then spoke to Zhang Xingyuan, who was very happy, and comforted his third granddaughter, who was eager to get rid of her studies and practice martial arts with her sister, to get a bowl of water.

As the night grew darker, everyone in the courtyard dispersed to enjoy the cool air.

……

Zhangzhuang in Heyao County

Although Zhuangzi has disappeared, people in nearby villages are still used to calling the area around the green brick courtyard Zhangzhuang.

"Shuang'er, do you really want to go in?" Butler Pei said with a bitter face, "There is something weird in this yard. After your cousin touched it in and came out, everyone went crazy. They talked nonsense all day long. Damn it..."

"Shut up!" Pei Shuang was a little impatient listening to the complaints in his ears. He turned around and yelled at Butler Pei: "It's not that you are useless! From now on, the entire Zhangzhuang will belong to our family, but look at it now. It’s all in vain!”

Thinking that all the things he originally had in his pocket were lost, Pei Shuang was irritable and lay awake day and night.

She had calculated the property left by Zhang Sifang. Even if she only got one-fifth, she would be able to eat and drink without having to do anything for the rest of her life. She could live comfortably as a rich woman, and she would not have to work in the fields to earn a living. That food that can’t even feed you all year round?

"It's all your fault!" Pei Shuang shouted angrily at Butler Pei.

Thinking of what I missed, my stomach knotted with regret.

Butler Pei's face showed deep regret. How did she know that Zhang Mingbao would move so fast?

She was barely given a chance to do anything, everything had already been done!

She never thought that Zhang Mingbao would abandon everything in Zhangzhuang and leave here without hesitation.

The two of them arrived under the courtyard wall in the dark. Before they could climb over the wall, they heard screams coming from the courtyard, which made people's hair stand on end.

The mother and daughter instantly got goosebumps and looked at each other with shock.

"Are you still going?" Butler Pei's voice was trembling.

Pei Shuang was calmer than Butler Pei, and listened carefully, "It seems to be from the Ai family!"

The mother and daughter looked at each other, why did the Ai family come here?

Pei Shuang gritted his teeth. Could it be that he also coveted the items in Zhangzhuang? Those things all belong to her!

"Let's go check out the front door!"

Butler Pei hesitated for a while, gathered his clothes, and followed Pei Shuang to the gate of the yard.

The door was unlocked, but no one could push the door open and walk in openly.

Pei Shuang hid the fear in his heart and quietly looked through the crack in the door to look at the situation in the yard.

The next second, her pupils dilated, her face turned pale as a sheet, and her legs and feet trembled.

"There is, there is a ghost..." Pei Shuang's teeth chattered, and his body seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move.

"Ah...ah?" Butler Pei trembled when he saw Pei Shuang's appearance, and almost sat down on the ground, "You, don't scare mother..."

"Really!" Pei Shuang felt that his whole body was covered with coldness, and he cried sadly, "Ai Mincai and his sister were in the yard, carrying... carrying Zhang... Zhang..."

Pei Shuang did not dare to say the names of the two people, for fear that they would climb on his back the next second.

"You...you see for yourself!"

Butler Pei was scared, but he was also curious, so he moved to the crack of the door and looked inside.

Ai Mincai and his sister were running wildly in the yard, and there was someone hanging on each of them...

The two people on the back seemed to have noticed someone peeping at the door, and slowly turned their heads to look at her.

His face was green and his eyes were filled with blood and tears.

But Butler Pei is really familiar with the faces of these two people. They are Zhang Sifang and Shi Shi who have been dead for more than three years!

"Ahhhhhh!" Butler Pei cried out in horror and sat down on the ground.

He didn't care about Pei Shuang anymore. He used his hands and feet to roll and crawl to get out of here.
