Hearing this, Xun Fei quickly waved his hand again, "Don't talk to me like that, we are all from the Central Plains, just treat it as a friend."

"The young master is homesick." A Le always spoke to the point, Xun Fei nodded and shook his head, "I don't have a home in the Central Plains, and I can't go back if I do."

Ale pretended to be puzzled, "Why can't I go home when I have a home?"

Xun Fei looked quite innocent and aggrieved, with a look of wanting to cry but no tears, drooping his head, "He definitely doesn't want me..."

"Huh?" A Le pretended not to know, seeing this situation, Xun Fei turned his head away, sullen, turned around and went back to the room alone.

Pushing open the door, Xun Fei was sitting alone at the table, writing and drawing with a brush in his hand, no one was watching, and he couldn't write well after practicing calligraphy, so he turned around and paced back and forth in the room again, sighing.

"Why doesn't that stinky old man move at all? He hardly asks about uncle anymore. What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?" I don’t know what the picture is about.”

Xun Fei only felt that he was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and he didn't know when Zongzheng Yue would throw him into the pot and boil him.

Back and forth, thinking hard, suddenly remembered something "Qiu Zhu said that most of a person's secrets will leave clues in the bedroom and study, Zong Zhengyue's bedroom..." But Xun Fei then thought, "It's strange, why doesn't he talk to himself? Madam lives in the same room."

Xun Fei figured out the time when Zongzheng Yue went out every day, and calculated that the time had come, he wandered carelessly in Zongzheng's house, approaching Zongzhengyue's other garden step by step.

He had been here before, and it was not as he imagined, it was just a simple and featureless courtyard, so Qiao Yanle's other garden was actually the most exquisite courtyard in the entire Zongzheng family.

There is only one servant cleaning the courtyard, and there are no back doors around. There is only one door to go in and out, so you must avoid that servant.

When I was frowning and thinking hard about how to get in, I found a big black dog crawling around in the grass not far away. With an idea, I ran to the kitchen and secretly took some minced meat.He sprinkled the minced meat all the way into Zongzheng Yue's courtyard, but stopped suddenly at the door, jumped up to the roof of the corridor, and sprinkled some minced meat near the servants, It caused the big black dog to bark wildly, and rushed towards the servant. The servant was furious, picked up the broom and chased him all the way out.

"You're so stupid!" A burst of complacency appeared on his face, he raised his handsome eyebrows, and jumped directly into the courtyard.Just as he was about to push open the door of the bedroom, he suddenly remembered that if the old man Zong Zhengyue also thought that he would come to the empty door, he would definitely set up some kind of trap.

Xun Fei quietly looked around and jumped onto the roof from the back of the house. If the old man thought about it, he would definitely tamper with the doors and windows. From top to bottom, he must have never thought of it.

Peel off a few pieces of green tiles, poke your head, the brief introduction of the room is not unusual, Xun Fei's body is thin and small, and after peeling off a few pieces, he burrows into the room like a loach.

This room has a clear view, and there are very few bottles and cans. There are no clues from many years ago.

Detour Zong Zhengyue's desk, surrounded by books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, a few simple wooden boxes, nothing out of the ordinary, I'm afraid this trip is indeed a "breakthrough".

Randomly opened a few wooden boxes, all of which were old gadgets, took them out and played with them a few times, then put them back in the distance after being uninteresting.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the child went out from a distance, arranged the tiles and left the courtyard.

Not long after Xun Fei left, a figure flashed and entered the room from the top of the window, dodging Zongzheng Yue's hands and feet, opened the wooden box that Xun Fei had just played with, and took out a flute from it.There are black spots on the flute, but perhaps because of the age, it has lost its luster.A woven pendant hanging from the flute caught his attention, familiar.

Xun Fei is not reconciled to halfway through, always feels that there is only one step away from something, why does he feel that something is missing and feels inadequate.

Thinking of him walking back again, whoever wanted to be was called by a person, and he froze in his footsteps and couldn't continue walking forward, "Young master..."

"Why are you here?" A Le was sent by Qiao Yanle to take care of him, but Xun Fei always felt that he was here to monitor him, but he had no choice but to show his feet.

"Ale is taking care of the young master personally, so I dare not make a mistake." He spoke respectfully and respectfully, and Xun Fei couldn't vent his anger on innocent people at will, so he just responded softly and walked back obediently, but then Hearing the news that Zongzheng Yue returned to the mansion earlier, he secretly rejoiced that he didn't turn back, otherwise it would be troublesome.

Xun Fei returned to Qiao Yanle's courtyard, and was going to look at the flowers and plants. When he knelt down, he found that the hair on his hair was loose. fasten it again for him.It's always hard to find out what's going on. In the past, Qiu Zhu was also worried about him. Seeing Ah Le's actions, it was as if he had seen Qiu Zhu.

"You...you are from the Central Plains, why did you come to outside the customs?" Xun Fei couldn't bear to keep pushing him away because of this familiarity, so he turned his head and asked awkwardly.

"Father is a businessman, he met a robber on the way, and I ended up here." Ah Le spoke very calmly, and Xun Fei always felt that he was different from other family members. See any indecent language.

"It's also a poor person, so you can stay here, and I can't make you lose your job." Xun Fei nodded his head, completely agreeing with Ale to stay by his side "But if there is a chance, you can find a reliable person to follow. I am not a member of the Zongzheng family."

"Ma'am is very distressed." Ale didn't seem to care about Xun Fei's words, but just smiled inexplicably.

"Hmph, I'm not from the Zongzheng family, and I don't like the Zongzheng government, no matter how big it is, I don't like it too much..." The voice stopped abruptly, almost slipping the tongue.

"Nothing?" Ale asked suspiciously, and Xun Fei said perfunctorily, "It's not as free and easy as the world outside."

"It's rich and well-fed here, and my wife loves it. What's wrong?" Ah Le's voice was as clear as water, and Xun Fei felt comfortable when he heard it, and he drew closer if he didn't feel it. There are plenty of people here who treat me well."

"Then why didn't you go back?" Xun Fei was a little strange but couldn't question why A Le's questions always hit the nail on the head, poking at his heart.

"Because..." Qiu Zhu didn't want him anymore.

Xun Fei puffed out half of his cheeks, pursed his lips slightly, presumably worried about something, and often looking forward to it.

Suddenly a dry cold wind blew up, and a few scattered snowflakes drifted down. Ale reached out and covered Xun Fei's head, "Go back to the house."

"Come on, stay a little longer, I like snow days to come out to play." Xun Fei smiled and took his hands off, raised his head and let the white snow scatter on his face, melting into snow water, "Snow days are so good, just look at them." Looking at it, it is clean, not as wet as it is in rainy days, and there is mud everywhere."

"But whether it's snowing or raining, it's very easy to suffer from the wind and cold. The young master is young. If there is a mistake, Ah Le can't afford it." There is also a person who is always afraid that I will go out to play in the snow, but he has never been so gentle and persuasive, how dare I not listen, because I will be punished to copy books at every turn."

"From this point of view, it's also well-intentioned." The corners of his mouth were raised, and there was an imperceptible smile.

"So I'm going to have fun while he's not around. The wind and cold, I just got it a while ago, and it won't come to the door so soon." Smiling eyes, sitting on the snow and playing with snowballs, eyes full of small As cunning as a fox.

Hearing the meaning behind the words, he smiled and said, "So, the young master will still return to that person in the future?"

Xun Fei raised his head and pondered for a long time, "It's fun outside, the sky and the earth are big, but when it comes to where to go, abandoning that person, it seems that I have no home to go to, as if he is the place to go..." As he spoke, he laughed out loud. Sheng Lai: "Thinking about it this way, I suddenly feel a lot more at ease. Even if we are thousands of miles away, I am very at ease."

"Birds migrate for the winter, and fly back next spring. Birds have a time to return, and people have a place to return." Ale wiped the silvery white snowflakes from his head for Xun Fei. Young Master."

"Don't call me that, just look for something wrong, I'm not a young master." After Ah Le said this, she suddenly gained a little more confidence. Maybe Qiu Zhu was waiting for him to go back or was preparing for it. The thick stack of books was waiting for him to copy.

"Xunfei..." As soon as the landing landed, Xunfei was suddenly stunned. Ale called him, why did he have an inexplicable sense of familiarity, just like the familiarity of Qiuzhu calling his name countless times over the years, so that at that moment just now , he mistakenly thought it was Qiu Zhu sitting beside her.But looking back, the two look very different. Qiu Zhu's eyes are narrow and bright, but Ah Le's eyes are narrow and slightly short.It's just that the two always have a vague similarity, maybe they are both from the Central Plains, which made Xun Fei misunderstand.

"Ale..." Xun Fei peeked at him like a little mouse, blushed slightly, and stammered, "Can you call again?"

"Huh? Finding fault?" Call out again, and the child is as happy as if he has got some treasure. "Call out again."

"Looking for nonsense."

Such a boring thing made Xun Fei in a good mood, with a smile on his face, sitting on the snow, as if he had forgotten everything, only remembering that soft call similar to that of Qiu Zhu.
