According to the old servant's words, Tengfeng brought a large bundle of hay from the hay pile and threw it in the manger, but except for the middle one, all the other horses did not bow their heads.When the old servant came back to check, he really shook his head and warned him: "You have to spread out the grass so that the feeding will be even."

He personally took a pitchfork and evenly pushed the hay out of the trough. The two horses on the left and right sniffed their noses vigilantly, then lowered their heads and began to chew, creaking and chewing.

"Let them smell you first when you feed them next time, otherwise they won't remember you and won't like you." The old servant said before leaving.

Then Fujimine fell into a state of doing nothing. He sat on the railing of the stable all the time, probably because he was used to it. The smell in the stable was not as bad as it was at the beginning. The horses returned after eating the fodder. Inside the stable, things became even quieter.

There are red clouds in the sky, and the sun is about to set.

The yard outside the stable suddenly became lively, people who had gone out to work for a day returned one after another, and soon fell silent again.

Fujimine was hungry.He missed the days when he was by Bai Li's side. At that time, he was served when he went out, prepared for meals, and the meals were always rich, with vegetables, meat and soup, but now there were none of them.

The old servant left him a big cake and told him that he could draw water from the nearby well, but he had to remember to close the well cover after drawing water.

Although the flatbread was tasteless, Fujimine still ate a little.After dinner, a stable boy who was taller than Tengfeng came to him and said he wanted to teach him some rules.

Although he was taller than Tengfeng, he was very thin, with snot on his face and rough skin. He took half of the pancake that Tengfeng hadn't finished eating as soon as he came.

"This is mine, why are you robbing me?" Fujimine asked.

"This is the rule. The newcomers have to share half of it. I am not eating this cake alone, there are two more." The visitor obviously lacked confidence in speaking.

Although Tengfeng didn't like that piece of cake, he didn't want to be snatched away, so he snatched it back immediately and gave him a push.

"Nonsense, where is such a rule?"

The child was caught off guard, and sat down on the ground as he was pushed. Then he got up angrily and ran away.

Fujimine thought that this was the end of the matter, but what he didn't expect was that besides the guy he had just beaten away, two more people came, and they were all dressed in similar clothes.

"What are you going to do?" Fujimine looked at the three people.

"Hand over the bread, you just came here, you should abide by the rules here, and let us eat first in the future."

In normal times, Tengfeng wouldn't think there was anything special about the ordinary pancakes, and others would just take them if they wanted to eat them. Even the dim sum that Yu Chang often gave him didn't think it was unusual.But now it seems that these things have become very precious all of a sudden, Fujimine has nothing but these, and he has nothing else to eat.

"This is mine, I have nothing else to eat." Fujimine said.

"This is the rule. Newcomers must starve for ten days before they can listen to us." The leader said.

"Nonsense, people who starved for ten days would have starved to death."

Tengfeng grabbed the piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation.

The third elder brother on the opposite side was stunned for a moment, and then became furious. They rushed towards Tengfeng while cursing, two of them grabbed his arm, and the other one was left to pick the cake.

Seeing that he could not keep his cake, Tengfeng simply tore the cake into pieces and threw it into the manger.

"I can't eat it, and you don't want to take it away." Tengfeng chewed, and said vaguely, "Why do you want to snatch it from me?" When the cake was gone, he had his hand free, so he punched to the leader's face.

"Ouch!"

When the other two saw Fujimine moving, they also started beating him. Several children wrestled together. After all, Fujimine was still young and had never fought like this before. After a while, he couldn't hold on. He could only hold his head and squat on the ground.

Those three people gathered around and kicked him, cursing while kicking: "I'll let you hit me, let you eat my cake!"

Tengfeng tried to stand up several times but failed. They took turns riding on his head and pressing him down. He was wronged and sad, and almost asked for mercy. He threw the person on him off with all his strength. , Then they fought again, and he cried while fighting, until he was pulled away and screamed and waved his fists.

"It's me, it's me, they've already run away, don't fight anymore." The man held him down and whispered into his ear, "It's me."

Tengfeng's eyes were swollen, he tried his best to open them, and saw Yu Chang.He was panting, tears were streaming down his face, and something seemed to flow out of his nose. He took a sharp breath, and the fishy-sweet smell made him cough involuntarily.

"That's right, one hits three, and I'll help you next time."

Yu Chang's attitude towards Tengfeng didn't change at all, it was still the same as before, but Tengfeng fell silent. He saw that Yu Chang was still wearing good clothes. Anyone could see that he was dressed like a young master, but now he is just a A new stable boy.

"I asked my father about you during the banquet, and he told me you were here, so I came and brought you something to eat."

Yu Chang opened a package, which contained half a roast chicken, a few slices of bacon, and a jar of mutton soup. "

The grilled chicken tastes good, with a little pepper on it, so it is slightly spicy, which makes people appetite, especially after the fight.

"Master Baili doesn't want you, you can stay with me." Yu Chang said.

Without even thinking about it, Tengfeng immediately retorted: "Bai Li didn't want me, he just... just couldn't disobey the head of the Bai family."

Hearing this, Yu Chang sighed, sat down next to Tengfeng, and said in a slightly lonely voice: "Yes, there are always people they can't resist, who made us all illegitimate children!"

Fujimine said in his heart, "I'm not an illegitimate child." But he asked uncontrollably, "Are you an illegitimate child?"

Yu Chang scratched his head and admitted generously: "Yes, I am an illegitimate child like my father, but my mother is not as good as my father's mother. She is a slave. I grew up with a group of slaves when I was young. .”

Tengfeng opened his mouth wide, unable to accept that Yu Chang was a child of a slave for a while.

A child of a slave will still be a slave when he grows up. Unless he has made some contributions and the master is kind, he may become a commoner. However, over the years, this situation has been very rare, let alone a child of a slave becoming a nobleman.

Then Tengfeng also understood why Uncle Yu agreed to let his child go to Xirong with the Bai family. I am afraid that in the heart of Mr. Yu, he didn't care much about the child born by a slave, but just to be able to do business with the Bai family.

Then Tengfeng began to sympathize with Yu Chang again, but he was not so sad.

"No need, if they come again later, I will beat them again."
