When He Zhi returned to the nine-story tower, the bronze statue of the three-headed bird had already returned to the top of the tower.But what was different from before was that there was a large black mark on the left wing of the three-headed divine bird, as if it had been roasted by fire for a long time, and the old color had faded a lot.
At this time, the outside of the nine-story pagoda was in chaos, because they didn't want to meet Zhou Jun, He Zhi and Xie Daoan leaned behind a tree on one side, and pricked up their ears to listen to what the people gathered below were saying.
But it is said to be hiding on one side, and it is said to be pricked up, but in fact, there is only one way to hide and listen.Xie Daoan only stood beside He Zhizhi with a casual attitude when He Zhizhi tiptoed to one side like a thief, not caring about the movement below.
The people below didn't know that their every move was exposed to them hiding above, they gathered together in twos and threes, talking about three things, one was the abnormal movement of the nine-headed divine bird, and the other was the Young Palace Master The whereabouts are unknown, and the third is that Qingzong Zhisu died.
When He Zhi heard that Zhi Su had died, he couldn't react for a long time.Dumbfounded, he thought and thought, and always felt that it was not realistic, so he bit his lower lip, glanced at Xie Daoan quietly, deliberately pretended to put a face on the floor, and leaned over in small steps.
Afterwards, under Xie Daoan's calm gaze, He Zhizhi stretched out two delicate fingers and twisted the back of Xie Daoan's hand.
Xie Daoan blinked slowly.
"Does it hurt?" Seeing that Xie Daoan didn't respond, why did he swallow his saliva, squeezed out a flattering smile, and smiled, "The pain is real..."
Xie Daoan didn't even bother to move his hand away, and only asked him kindly after he asked, "What do you want to hear?"
He Zhi showed a tangled expression.
—what does he want to hear?
Does he want to hear that Zhisu is dead, or does he want to hear that Zhisu is not dead?
In fact, he wants to know who killed Zhisu more than whether Zhisu is dead or alive.And although he didn't take the initiative to mention it, he vaguely guessed in his heart that it might be Zhi Yu's moving hand, so his expression was a little unnatural.
Not long after, he withdrew his gaze from below, turned to Xie Daoan and said, "Go and see where no one is."
Xie Daoan knew what he was thinking, and said: "The three-headed divine bird moved for the person next to you. Now that the divine bird returns to its place, it means that the person is no longer in the tower. It doesn't matter whether I go or not."
He Zhizhi also guessed it, but this does not prevent He Zhizhi from asking Xie Daoan for confirmation.
He persisted and said, "Just go in and have a look, and come out after making sure he's fine." Then he patted the trees beside him with a flattering expression, "I'll wait for you here, and I won't move around of!"
He spoke so seriously that he almost raised his fingers to swear.
During the period, Xie Daoan glanced at him, but he didn't reject him, but went straight into no man's land.
as predicted.
Xie Daoan didn't see Zhi Yu when he entered the uninhabited land, and he didn't see He Zhizhi when he returned to the tree after leaving the uninhabited land.
Why did this liar really not stay where he was and wait for him.
Thinking of this, Xie Daoan looked at the place where He Zhizhi had stayed, turned his hands behind his back, and left the nine-story tower without any surprise.
He Zhizhi has a magic weapon that instantly returns to Tianxuan Mansion, and now that Zhi Yu and Xie Daoan are not here, he would be a fool if he didn't run away.
Knowing that there are not many chances of escaping, after Xie Daoan left, He Zhi activated the magic weapon of instant return to Tianxuan Mansion, because the other end of the magic circle was hidden in the inner room underground of Tianxuan Mansion by He Huan and his wife, so he returned to Tianxuan Mansion. The place where he first appeared in Xuanfu was the inner room.
He thought that He Huan and Mrs. Qin Hua would be waiting for him in the inner room, but he didn't expect that when he returned to the inner room, he didn't see He Huan and Mrs. Qin Hua.
The inner room is quiet, and there are many collections of He Huan on the high cabinets on the bookshelves on both sides. It is a place that outsiders can never enter. There are only a few butterfly lamps driving the dark atmosphere with faint light. It is quiet like a dead person's residence. tomb.
And he was careless, his eyes only glanced around briefly and then retracted, he didn't check carefully to see if there were other people's thoughts here.
After that, he ran to the place where he hid the paper man's skin with small steps, neatly put the skin on his body, and after tidying up, he pushed open the door of the inner room to go out.
At this time, He Zhizhi didn't notice a figure standing in the dark corner on the left side of the room, and didn't check whether he was familiar with that figure.
The man stood there silently for a long time, his eyes stubbornly turned from He Zhizhi's back to He Zhizhi's legs, and slowly touched the long sword on his waist.
And just before He Zhizhi was about to leave the inner room, Mrs. Qin Hua appeared with red eyes.
The two happened to bump into each other and stopped at the same time.
Seeing a person walking out of the inner room, Mrs. Qin Hua was stunned for a moment, then hugged her up again, touched her head and face, and waited to make sure that nothing happened before pulling him into the inner room again , and He Zhizhi talked about what happened these days.
When Mrs. Qin Hua appeared, the person standing in the dark drew his sword a little bit.
"Where have you been?!" At this moment, Mrs. Qin Hua was sitting on the stone bed in the inner room. After she calmed down, she couldn't help being angry and hated, and directly picked up He Zhi's ear.
He Zhizhi yelled twice, and begged for mercy: "I was taken away by Xie Daoan! I didn't run around disobediently! I never thought of leaving the nine-story pagoda with Xie Daoan's hand, so what happened? You can blame me! Why are you losing your temper with me!"
Hearing this sentence, the hand that was hiding in the dark and drawing the sword paused, and the figure standing in the corner did not move for a while.
Mrs. Qin Hua was very angry when she heard this.
"Xie Daoan! It's Xie Daoan again! I have to kill Xie Daoan!" The more she said, the more she hated her, and she even looked at He Zhizhi with a bit of fierceness afterwards, "Did he make things difficult for you? How did you escape? from?"
Why did he tell what happened on his side.Because he spoke without thinking, he also told about himself and Xie Daoan returning to the nine-story pagoda.
Mrs. Qin Hua was a little puzzled by this, "Since you have nothing to do, why didn't you go home directly, but went back to the nine-story tower first?" She gritted her teeth, wishing she could pick He Zhi's ear again, and said angrily, "You Does this child have a long heart! Don't you know that parents will worry about this?"
He Zhi bowed his head in shame.
If it was normal, he would definitely return to Tianxuan Mansion as soon as he was out of danger, and would definitely seek the protection of He Huan and his wife as soon as possible, unlike today.
And when he saw that Mrs. Qin Hua was angry, he sat coyly across from Mrs. Qin Hua, and whispered, "Mother, the situation is different this time."
Mrs. Qin Hua asked puzzledly, "Why is it different?"
He Zhizhi pursed his lips, and said vaguely: "There was another person with me at the time, he saved me, I don't know if he is in danger after I leave, so I want to go back and have a look, and then Go home again..."
Mrs. Qin Hua did not expect this reason.And the child knew that repaying kindness is not a bad thing, so he calmed down because of this, and didn't say anything else.
It's just that the mother and son who were talking didn't know that there was another person in the dark, and they didn't know how these few words of why made that person feel.
Hearing this, the figure hiding in the dark raised his head, and looked at He Zhizhi in surprise, as if he was wondering what he had heard, and did not turn his head for a long time.
Immediately afterwards, the figure hiding in the dark fell into silence, the hand on the hilt of the sword did not move again, but stopped in the same position in such a supportive posture, not interested in listening to Mrs. Qin Hua and He Zhizhi. What else was said.
"Mother, why did Zhisu die?"
After He Zhizhi finished talking about his own affairs, he went to ask about Zhisu's affairs.
Mrs. Qin Hua frowned, as if unwilling to bring up this unfortunate incident: "I don't know very well, but he died a terrible death, and his tongue was pulled out and cut..." She stopped her voice at this point, His expression was not good-looking, "Let's not talk about that, now Qingzong is in a mess, Zhiyu's whereabouts are unknown, Zhisu died tragically in the nine-story pagoda, the old man Zhihuan couldn't stand the blow, now he is no different from that lunatic, just The murder of the two sons was blamed on my Tianxuan Mansion, it was noisy and noisy, and I insisted on your father explaining it."
He Zhizhi frowned in disgust, and was about to give him some explanation, but they didn't kill him, when Mrs. Qin Hua said, "There are more."
"I'm afraid Mengruo is about to come."
When Mrs. Qin Hua said this, her expression was not happy, but worried, as if the sky was about to fall.
He Zhizhi was frightened by Mrs. Qin Hua's performance, and quickly asked: "Why do you want to come here? Could it be because of my marriage with Mr. Zhou?"
"This is one of them. Another point is the movement of the three divine birds." Mrs. Qin Hua touched his head and said solemnly, "The nine-story pagoda is a sanctuary bestowed by heaven on the six realms. Mission, if the person who appears in the nine-story tower disturbs the nine-story tower, the three-headed bird may appear, but it will only drive the person out, and will not keep singing."
Why didn't he understand, "What's wrong with tweeting?"
Mrs. Qin Hua sighed, and said helplessly: "The way of heaven governs all things, and the god bird comes from the way of heaven. No matter in terms of status or seniority, we people are nothing worth mentioning in the eyes of the god bird."
Mrs. Qin Hua simply gave an example: "If it was people like us who disturbed the nine-story pagoda, the divine bird would only drive people away. It wants to deter that person, which means that it is afraid that it will not be able to suppress that person. From this point of view, the origin of that person will not be very simple. And the three-headed bird comes from the righteous way, and the person who is vigilantly and repulsed by the bird will inevitably bring something to the world. People who are in trouble, so in order to find out this matter, your uncle and aunt will come to Yihui in a few days, then you should avoid it and don't show your face."
"Don't show up?"
"Yes, don't show your face." Mrs. Qin Hua said, "Now that Zhi Su is dead, Zhi Huan is like a lunatic. I don't want him to follow you, and your aunt is coming. She is the one who values rules the most. We It's not good to kill Zhihuan in front of her, I can only let you avoid it first."
"Also, Mr. Zhou lives in the mansion now, and he said he wanted to help your father find you. If you go out at this time, it's hard to say whether the matter of the three-headed bird can be found out. It's very likely that Mr. Zhou will take you away." It’s easy to guess. For this reason, we can avoid it as much as we can, and just don’t contact and argue with them. Even if your aunt comes, you still treat her as if she didn’t come, and just follow the previous plan.”
He Zhi understood and nodded obediently.
Seeing that he was obedient, Mrs. Qin Hua sighed again, then looked around, and said worriedly: "Although this inner room is secret, but with Zhou Jun and your aunt's ability to see it, if they are willing to look for it, they will definitely find it." Here, you can’t stay here because of this. Fortunately, Tianxuan Mansion has recruited many newcomers this year. In order to welcome your aunt and her party, your father has just cleaned up for Lin Xinyuan, and assigned a group of servants to go there. This matter is being managed by Huo Falcon, you can also take the opportunity to sneak into this group of people and hide until Zhou Jun and your aunt leave."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Qin Hua thought about what happened during this period, and had no choice but to harden her heart.
"Also, too many things have happened in recent years. In the past, my mother always felt that with my mother, you can do whatever you want, but now I feel that my mother's thoughts are too superficial, and there are always things that I can't take care of. Everything will not be as my mother wished, so from today on, my mother will no longer protect you as before, and do everything for you. You should also try to get used to it. If one day your father and I If you are not here, how should you protect yourself..."
"Also, when Zhou Jun is here, mother and father will not go to see you, lest Zhou Jun follow the clues to find you. You remember these words, don't come to us, and get through the current difficulties first. Also, Don’t be so reluctant, it’s a good thing to be able to avoid Zhou Jun and Qingzong after suffering such a little hardship, understand?”
Why did I understand, it's just...
He looked at Mrs. Qin Hua with a complicated expression, wondering if he should tell Mrs. Qin Hua that Huo Falcon had been replaced now.And when he thought of this matter, he didn't feel anything at first, and after sitting for a while, he had a premonition that his back was going cold. For this reason, he quickly grabbed Mrs. Qin Hua's hand, and asked palely: "You said... Huo Falcon? Huo Falcon is at the house?!"
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Qin Hua looked puzzled, "Shouldn't Huo Falcon be at the residence?"
Of course not.
He Zhizhi was dumbfounded, and was so panicked that he didn't know how to make a sound.He didn't expect that Zhi Yu had already returned to Tianxuan Mansion, and he didn't know what the other party's plan was after he came back.
At this moment, he was thinking of the dead Zhisu, and the Zhiyu who dragged him into no man's land. He had all kinds of messy thoughts in his head. Finally, he gritted his teeth and recalled anxiously when he took him out and died again. Is there any abnormality in the blue pill that was put back? Did the other party find that he moved the blue pill.
He wasn't sure what Zhi Yu was thinking, so he took Mrs. Qin Hua's hand to prevent her from telling Huo Falcon that he was back.
This matter is related to He Zhizhi's safety, even if He Zhizhi didn't ask for it, Mrs. Qin Hua didn't intend to go into details with Huo Falcon.
Afterwards, Mrs. Qin Hua and He Zhizhi said a few insignificant instructions, glanced at the paper figure that He Zhizhi took out, waved He Zhizhi's face into that paper figure's face, and used the servant's He Zhizhi handed over the jade card to He Zhizhi, and asked him to go to the summer shift room where the servants waited for the end of the mansion.
There are quite a few newcomers to the summer class, and they are all responsible for some trivial matters in the mansion.Like why these servants who have just arrived in the summer shift room are usually thrown to wash the spirit stones.
Different from other sects, Profound Sky Mansion has a lot of money and wealth. As long as one enters the mansion, the spirit stones used for cultivation will be distributed by the Profound Sky Mansion, so the Profound Sky Mansion also buys the most spirit stones.
Among them, because there are many disciples of the fire spirit root in the mansion, the spirit stone selected by Tianxuan Mansion is Yanhei stone from the fire spirit land.This kind of spirit stone is special, the outer layer is surrounded by gray lime, and the inner layer is the red spirit stone.
Before use, it needs to be peeled off, cleaned, and then handed over to different disciples.
The summer shift room is where the flint is processed.
As soon as He Zhizhi came to the summer class room, he was frightened by the mountain-like pile of spirit stones in front of him.
His eyes stayed on the thick stone wall, and he didn't need to think deeply to know how much effort it would take to peel off these layers.And he had never done any hard work in his life, so he was very reluctant for this, and immediately glared his eyes angrily and wanted to turn around and leave.
But when he walked to the door, he thought of what Mrs. Qin Hua said just now, and Zhou Jun who was staring at him in the mansion, so he suppressed his anger and walked back with a disgusted expression on his face.But he had never done heavy work before, so when faced with those mundane tasks in the mansion, he would feel embarrassed about not knowing how to start.
If other newcomers are in trouble, the old man who leads them will patiently teach and tell these newcomers what to do.And he is different from the general newcomers, his arrogance makes people look hard to like, so no one wants to come to see his cold face, let him bump against the table with a small dagger, to no avail.
Xu Qing, a new servant at the side, taught him that the speed of washing the spirit stone was much faster. Seeing that he was at a loss, he wiped his hands, brought him here, and told him patiently.
"It's easier to do that."
"Give."
Xu Qing handed over the stripped spirit stone to He Zhizhi, and told He Zhizhi where to start.
He Zhizhi took it on, but he was very impatient with these tasks. He felt pain in his hands after peeling only three stones, so he simply dumped all the remaining stones back, stood up and said, "Peeling stones is so boring, I'm going to Find the steward and give me another errand!"
Hearing his words, everyone around looked over.
"An errand?"
Some people didn't like He Zhizhi's style, sneered, and said: "I'll give you another one, who do you think you are?! Why should a good job be yours, and a dirty job should be someone else's?"
"If you don't do your part, who do you want to suffer for you?"
"That's right! You've already come to the summer class, why are you putting on airs from a wealthy family?"
"You still think this job is tiring, I think you don't know what life people outside are living."
"That's right! Everyone is a man, and they all do the same job. Why are you being hypocritical and yelling when things happen! Look at you, it doesn't look like you only know how to cry when things happen. Father looking for mother's child?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter from around.
Why did he get humiliated by others, blushed with anger, but couldn't say anything to refute, and finally stayed with the momentum of not admitting defeat, but wanted to prove that he was not the coward who these people said that he would only call his father and mother when he was in trouble .
Facing the mountain-like pile of spiritual stones in front of him, He Zhi rolled up his sleeves, thinking that such a trivial matter would not trouble him, then bowed his head in silence, and peeled silently all afternoon, finally peeling off seven spiritual stones.
Faced with these seven spirit stones, why did he feel that it was not easy, but was taught a lesson coldly by the aunt who came to inspect the spirit stones.
My aunt first said that his peeling was not good-looking, and then said that his peeling was not complete enough.
And he really wasn't good enough at peeling, so he couldn't bite the bullet and say he did a good job.But what he didn't expect was that Xu Qing, who was beside him, was picked up by his aunt and scolded because his movements were too neat and the peeling was not fine enough.
In the end, my aunt beat up the newcomers, leaving He Zhizhi and Xu Qing to clean up the rest of the chores, telling them not to eat until they finished.
Why did he finally not have to peel the spirit stone, but ended up with the drudgery of washing the spirit stone.In this regard, He Zhizhi has 1 reluctances in his heart.
Because of his reluctance, he puffed his face, stared angrily, and with an expression of wishing to kill someone—he honestly brushed those spirit stones.Even though his mouth was full of unforgiving curses, the movements of his hands did not stop.
Not only non-stop, he would take time to lift up the spirit stone in the water during the cursing, show it to Xu Qing at the side from a different angle, and tell the other party——
"I wash cleaner than you."
"I'm not saying anything, and I won't be proud of it, but I really wash cleaner than you."
After that, he turned his face away, even though he said to Xu Qing with a straight face that I was not proud, but the corners of the eyes and eyebrows were all washed better by me than you, I am really proud.
Seeing this, Xu Qing thought it was funny, so she shook her head and praised: "You are indeed better at washing than me."
When He Zhizhi heard this, he only felt that the other party was supporting him and chatting, so he immediately smiled at Xu Qing with disdain.
But he made a look of disdain, but the movements of his hands were more honest than the expression on his face, and his working speed was much faster than before. He seemed to be happy for Xu Qing's praise of himself, and he was very proud of it. Work hard, then prick up your ears and wait for someone to praise him again.
On the way, He Zhizhi glanced at Xu Qing behind him, and said a little unconvinced: "In my opinion, she is picking on the bones in the egg and deliberately looking for trouble."
But Xu Qing sighed, picked up the spirit stone at the side, and said in disapproval: "That's not the case, it's really that we didn't do well enough. Because our movements were not fine enough, we blindly pursued doing more and getting more, which made people who shouldn't have done better. The damaged spirit stone has been damaged."
He Zhizhi knew why he said that, peeling spirit stones is hard work, but if the amount of peeling and washing is large, Tianxuan Mansion will give the servants an extra amount of money.
Xu Qing wanted to peel more because she had her own selfish motives.For this reason, he fidgeted and said: "This means that the Tianxuan Mansion is rich and powerful, and the higher-ups don't care about us. If you and I destroy the spirit stone elsewhere today, a beating will definitely be indispensable."
What a surprise.He looked down on these ordinary spirit stones, so he said: "Why do you say it so seriously, these spirit stones are not treasures. They are just broken stones. If they are broken, they will be broken. What are you so worried about?" He said this completely. It is from the perspective of the owner.
Xu Qing didn't know the inside story, was a little surprised, and said in disapproval: "How can this be considered a broken stone! And whether it is broken or not, these things belong to someone else's house. Now you and I are hired by someone and receive a monthly payment from them. , and ruined other people’s finances, it’s already the Tianxuan Mansion’s benevolence to not beat or punish, how can you and I confidently treat other people’s tolerance as a blessing?”
Don't treat other people's tolerance as a common thing. This is the first time why I heard it.
In the past, He Zhi often heard the saying that——
"You are the Young Palace Master of Tianxuan Mansion, what you do, what troubles you cause, others will have to bear the burden."
"Because you are from the He family, no matter what you do is right or wrong, you are right."
"If you bow your head, you will lose the face of Tianxuan Mansion, so you don't have to bow your head for anything in your life."
"Even if it's wrong, it's still right."
Because he is used to the above words, He Zhi has long been used to ignoring the boundaries between right and wrong, so when he heard Xu Qing's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to look at the person in front of him with a dumbfounded expression. Basin, washing the Lingshi in the basin again and again.
Gradually, the spirit stone turned into Zhi Yu's face.
Xu Qing's sentence, don't take other people's tolerance as a blessing, seems to have a very deep meaning.
At this moment, Xu Qing is still saying:
"I think you are the same as me. Most likely you were from a good background before, but you were spoiled by your family, and you don't know how to act right."
He said: "I was very similar to you in the early days. I felt that I was different from others, and others should treat me as they should. Later, my family fell into trouble, my relatives and friends dispersed, and I suffered so much that I realized that there are not so many originals in this world. It should be like this, and then I was surprised to feel that people's kindness and tolerance are just three points of sympathy, three points of kindness, and three points of concern. If you are not as high as your family background, if you want to regret it, no one is willing to listen to it."
The man couldn't help being sad when he said this, so he said again: "But it's meaningless to tell you these things now. In the future, you can see the sorrow and sorrow yourself, and you will understand the reasons. At that time, you don't need others to teach you whether you are wrong or right." , I understand it in my heart."
When He Zhi heard this, his eyes unconsciously glanced to the left, as if he was thinking about something, and then he brushed the stone slowly while looking into the distance with a heavy heart, and never said a word.
In the evening, the other people in the summer class finished their meal, thinking that they hadn't eaten after being punished and tired all day, so they brought some food for them.
Why did he brush the stone until his hands trembled endlessly? Seeing those people surrounded Xu Qing with kind faces and handing over the food they brought to Xu Qing, he could only pretend that he didn't exist, and sat on one side in embarrassment.
Why is it that he can't see it at all.Because I knew I was not likable, why didn't I think that those people would give me a good look.
In fact, he understands a truth.
When he was the Young Master of Tianxuan Mansion, the people around him didn't like him, but because of his identity, those who didn't like him would never leave him.Now, without this most attractive identity, these people will naturally not treat him well, and there is no need for him to mix with these people like Xu Qing.
And just when he was thinking this way, someone handed over a steamed bun angrily, and said in a vicious voice, "Here!"
With a straight face, he said he didn't care, but he straightened his back and kept looking around with his eyes. He Zhi was startled. Just as he was about to hold his head, he saw a steamed bun appear in his field of vision.
The man who delivered the steamed buns saw He and trembled, as if he was about to jump three meters, he saw through his mind at a glance, immediately rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Who wants to hit you?! How can you beat someone up?" As bad as you think? Do you really think that everyone is like you and likes to be cold-eyed and run on others?"
Seeing this scene, the people on the side began to feel wronged for the person who brought the steamed buns, and immediately stared at He Zhizhi and said, "Could it be that in your eyes, the people here are all such cold-blooded and heartless villains who only know how to behave?"
After that, the man saw that He Zhizhi opened his mouth in a daze and didn't refute. He didn't get angry, and directly stuffed the steamed bun into He Zhizhi's arms, and yelled in his mouth whether he wanted to eat it or not, and fed it to the dog. of.
The person on the side said: "If you don't like it, don't eat it."
How could it be possible to see it!
He sneered at the steamed bun, thinking that he had never eaten such a simple food since he was born, so he didn't look down on this simple steamed bun, and he didn't need the person opposite to give it away!
Then, at night, he lay on the big bunk, huddled under the quilt, carefully holding the steamed bun with both hands, turning it over and over again, taking a look at the steamed bun from the quilt from time to time, and then It is very novel to hide the steamed buns in the bed.
"No matter how you look at it, it's impossible to grow pickles." At this time, Xu Qing, who was lying on the side of He Zhizhi with his eyes closed, seemed to be sleeping very peacefully, but his lips did not move, but he squeezed out a sentence, "" Don't eat and play with stink anymore."
When He Zhizhi heard this sentence, he turned sideways, pinched the steamed bun with both hands, like an otter holding a shell, and made a haunting sound.
"Aren't you asleep yet?" He Zhi blinked and whispered, "Actually, I have something to ask you."
Xu Qing's expression didn't change, and he didn't open his eyes. He just asked, "What's wrong?"
Because of nervousness, He chewed two mouthfuls of steamed buns, rolled his eyes, and asked embarrassedly: "If... I mean if! If you have a friend, you treat him well, you save his life , but he will blame you and target you for saving him, what will you do?"
Xu Qing opened his eyes and turned over, and thought for a moment face to face with him, and because he was afraid of disturbing the people resting in the room, he whispered to him: "Drown, drown on the spot, take your life back, don't let me die." He's tired and resentful."
He Zhizhi: "..."
He Zhizhi: "Then... if you said that he didn't look good on you afterwards, but you still saved him and helped him, does that mean that you..."
"It's the relics that have become spirits." Xu Qing pondered for a moment, then said implicitly, "I'm probably accumulating merit."
Why did he choke, remained silent for a long time, and finally said unwillingly: "It's not like this, and you are not a person who is willing to accumulate merit, you just... saved him! Tell me, are you not letting go of the past for a while? ?Always remember that you and he had good times in the past too?"
At this time, a hand was placed on He Zhizhi's shoulder, and someone pressed against his ear, and whispered to him: "You said a thousand words and ten thousand, then what do you think, you know you are wrong Do you have any sincere remorse, have you ever thought about how to make up for it, have you ever thought about apologizing to him, and then ask him what he thinks?"
He Zhizhi was startled, and quickly looked to the left.
Because he was sleeping on the Datong bunk, Xu Qing was on his right, and the man who brought him steamed buns was on his left. Before this man made a sound, he thought Xu Qing was not asleep, but he didn't expect that this man was not asleep either, and he was still like that. Gossip, after listening to the whispers between him and Xu Qing.
He Zhizhi felt embarrassed for a moment, quickly hid the steamed buns, blushed and turned pale, couldn't help but gritted his teeth and asked, "When did you wake up?"
At this time, someone in the room whispered back: "He didn't sleep."
But the voice was also a strange new voice.
It turned out that Xu Qing was not the only one who was awake in the room.
Immediately afterwards, I don't know where it was, and someone said again: "But you are too annoying, if I were the friend you mentioned, let alone save you, I would be able to stuff you into the palace that day." Drowning in a bucket, you said you don't know good from bad, don't you know good from bad?"
At this time, someone was so curious that he couldn't help but sat up and asked the opposite bed, "What else did you do after that?"
He Zhi shrank his neck and was pushed and pulled up by them, only then did he notice that there were more than a dozen little heads wrapped in quilts around him, obviously watching the excitement.
These people of his age gathered together and surrounded him, ready to listen to what he hadn't finished talking before.And he also uncharacteristically did not excuse himself, but recalled the details of his time with Zhiyu, looked at the people around him who didn't know him at all, and told these strangers what happened around him.
At this moment, whether it is too low self-esteem or pride, those complex emotions are suppressed.
He has no friends to confide in, and urgently needs to talk to people about his heart, he regards these people as driftwood in the water that he can grab.
He was frustrated but couldn't hide his relief, and he spoke out his most embarrassing heart.
Whether it's jealousy of Zhi Yu, or resentment of his own inadequacies, he has talked about it.
He was then pulled up by these men and carried to a chair.These people surrounded by quilts with only one head exposed stretched out their fingers, pointed at him in the same posture, circled around him, and kept saying, "Excessive!"
"I've never seen someone so exaggerated like you!"
"If you feel ashamed and embarrassing, then let's study hard and not use power to oppress others, and if others laugh at you after you work hard, it means that their character is bad to the bone, and there is something wrong with you. Why should you accept it? Others ridicule and accuse you? Also, who stipulates that the non-strong cannot live in this world?"
"You are also confused. If someone saved you with good intentions, it's fine if you don't feel grateful. After that, you still treat him coldly, and because of others' instigation, you confront him tit-for-tat. In the end, you get into a situation where you hate each other. You say you are Not brainless!"
Among the accusing voices, only Xu Qing who washed the spirit stone with He Zhizhi suddenly asked He Zhizhi: "You said so much but didn't mention it. Have you ever regretted this matter in the past?"
"No."
He Zhi replied without hesitation.
Xu Qing said again: "You said that you wanted to find him one night, and then you went back, but what did you want to find him at that time?"
He Zhi was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly couldn't answer.
He lowered his eyes and remembered that after he and Zhi Yu got into a stalemate, he couldn't sleep well one night, and he walked to Qingzong alone, but walked back halfway.
And why didn't he sleep well then?
He thought for a moment, closed his eyes and searched for the memory of that time, and finally dug out the feelings of that time in the memory with great difficulty, but he didn't want to mention it in front of anyone.
It was summer at that time, and when he was with Zhiyu, he would often go to Wangshan to see Yeying. Although he didn't want to face Zhiyu and accept his beast body at that time, he would still think of Zhiyu when he was alone. Yu.For this reason, when he had a cup of hot wine and saw that the lights were about to go out in the distance, he climbed out of the high wall of Tianxuan Mansion, and started walking towards Qingzong alone with not-so-flexible steps.
But the wind on the road was too strong, and the smell of alcohol in his body was blown away, and his courage dissipated along with the smell of alcohol.
Then, with the full moon above his head, passing by the ditch, he saw his own figure on both sides of the road, and suddenly felt that the figure was blurry, black and gray, completely different from Zhi Yu's.
I don't know when it started, people around him often said that he and Zhi Yu were not in the same way, that he should not drag Zhi Yu around, and many people said that he was not worthy of playing with Zhi Yu.
They all said that Zhi Yu is a talented and capable person, he and Zhi Yu are not compatible, and their personalities are also very different, they are not like people who can play together at all.As time goes by, Zhi Yu will always get tired of him.
He knew that he was really not outstanding, those voices always compared him with Zhi Yu, and after a long time, he inevitably fell in love with him, and a sense of inferiority came from it, although it was not like a raging sea, But it has become the dripping stone. The sound of torment does not pay attention to speed, but only pays attention to a thin and long-lasting sound.Over time, even though he pretended to be full of confidence, he would still start to observe Zhi Yu's face when he was with Zhi Yu, worrying about whether what he said just now was stupid, whether Zhi Yu was laughing at him in his heart, and worried at the same time Zhi Yu would look down on him.
And these emotions have been accumulated for a long time. When Zhiyu frowned when facing the proposal of marriage in Tianxuan Mansion, when Zhiyu often went to Xie Daoan's place, after the gap between him and Zhiyu became bigger and bigger, it completely ruined him and turned him into a dream beast. that day.
Before that, he had been thinking that if he took up the body of a powerful monster, then the gap between him and Zhi Yu would not be so big, and then he would not have to worry about stepping his left foot in front of Zhi Yu.
At this time, the outside of the nine-story pagoda was in chaos, because they didn't want to meet Zhou Jun, He Zhi and Xie Daoan leaned behind a tree on one side, and pricked up their ears to listen to what the people gathered below were saying.
But it is said to be hiding on one side, and it is said to be pricked up, but in fact, there is only one way to hide and listen.Xie Daoan only stood beside He Zhizhi with a casual attitude when He Zhizhi tiptoed to one side like a thief, not caring about the movement below.
The people below didn't know that their every move was exposed to them hiding above, they gathered together in twos and threes, talking about three things, one was the abnormal movement of the nine-headed divine bird, and the other was the Young Palace Master The whereabouts are unknown, and the third is that Qingzong Zhisu died.
When He Zhi heard that Zhi Su had died, he couldn't react for a long time.Dumbfounded, he thought and thought, and always felt that it was not realistic, so he bit his lower lip, glanced at Xie Daoan quietly, deliberately pretended to put a face on the floor, and leaned over in small steps.
Afterwards, under Xie Daoan's calm gaze, He Zhizhi stretched out two delicate fingers and twisted the back of Xie Daoan's hand.
Xie Daoan blinked slowly.
"Does it hurt?" Seeing that Xie Daoan didn't respond, why did he swallow his saliva, squeezed out a flattering smile, and smiled, "The pain is real..."
Xie Daoan didn't even bother to move his hand away, and only asked him kindly after he asked, "What do you want to hear?"
He Zhi showed a tangled expression.
—what does he want to hear?
Does he want to hear that Zhisu is dead, or does he want to hear that Zhisu is not dead?
In fact, he wants to know who killed Zhisu more than whether Zhisu is dead or alive.And although he didn't take the initiative to mention it, he vaguely guessed in his heart that it might be Zhi Yu's moving hand, so his expression was a little unnatural.
Not long after, he withdrew his gaze from below, turned to Xie Daoan and said, "Go and see where no one is."
Xie Daoan knew what he was thinking, and said: "The three-headed divine bird moved for the person next to you. Now that the divine bird returns to its place, it means that the person is no longer in the tower. It doesn't matter whether I go or not."
He Zhizhi also guessed it, but this does not prevent He Zhizhi from asking Xie Daoan for confirmation.
He persisted and said, "Just go in and have a look, and come out after making sure he's fine." Then he patted the trees beside him with a flattering expression, "I'll wait for you here, and I won't move around of!"
He spoke so seriously that he almost raised his fingers to swear.
During the period, Xie Daoan glanced at him, but he didn't reject him, but went straight into no man's land.
as predicted.
Xie Daoan didn't see Zhi Yu when he entered the uninhabited land, and he didn't see He Zhizhi when he returned to the tree after leaving the uninhabited land.
Why did this liar really not stay where he was and wait for him.
Thinking of this, Xie Daoan looked at the place where He Zhizhi had stayed, turned his hands behind his back, and left the nine-story tower without any surprise.
He Zhizhi has a magic weapon that instantly returns to Tianxuan Mansion, and now that Zhi Yu and Xie Daoan are not here, he would be a fool if he didn't run away.
Knowing that there are not many chances of escaping, after Xie Daoan left, He Zhi activated the magic weapon of instant return to Tianxuan Mansion, because the other end of the magic circle was hidden in the inner room underground of Tianxuan Mansion by He Huan and his wife, so he returned to Tianxuan Mansion. The place where he first appeared in Xuanfu was the inner room.
He thought that He Huan and Mrs. Qin Hua would be waiting for him in the inner room, but he didn't expect that when he returned to the inner room, he didn't see He Huan and Mrs. Qin Hua.
The inner room is quiet, and there are many collections of He Huan on the high cabinets on the bookshelves on both sides. It is a place that outsiders can never enter. There are only a few butterfly lamps driving the dark atmosphere with faint light. It is quiet like a dead person's residence. tomb.
And he was careless, his eyes only glanced around briefly and then retracted, he didn't check carefully to see if there were other people's thoughts here.
After that, he ran to the place where he hid the paper man's skin with small steps, neatly put the skin on his body, and after tidying up, he pushed open the door of the inner room to go out.
At this time, He Zhizhi didn't notice a figure standing in the dark corner on the left side of the room, and didn't check whether he was familiar with that figure.
The man stood there silently for a long time, his eyes stubbornly turned from He Zhizhi's back to He Zhizhi's legs, and slowly touched the long sword on his waist.
And just before He Zhizhi was about to leave the inner room, Mrs. Qin Hua appeared with red eyes.
The two happened to bump into each other and stopped at the same time.
Seeing a person walking out of the inner room, Mrs. Qin Hua was stunned for a moment, then hugged her up again, touched her head and face, and waited to make sure that nothing happened before pulling him into the inner room again , and He Zhizhi talked about what happened these days.
When Mrs. Qin Hua appeared, the person standing in the dark drew his sword a little bit.
"Where have you been?!" At this moment, Mrs. Qin Hua was sitting on the stone bed in the inner room. After she calmed down, she couldn't help being angry and hated, and directly picked up He Zhi's ear.
He Zhizhi yelled twice, and begged for mercy: "I was taken away by Xie Daoan! I didn't run around disobediently! I never thought of leaving the nine-story pagoda with Xie Daoan's hand, so what happened? You can blame me! Why are you losing your temper with me!"
Hearing this sentence, the hand that was hiding in the dark and drawing the sword paused, and the figure standing in the corner did not move for a while.
Mrs. Qin Hua was very angry when she heard this.
"Xie Daoan! It's Xie Daoan again! I have to kill Xie Daoan!" The more she said, the more she hated her, and she even looked at He Zhizhi with a bit of fierceness afterwards, "Did he make things difficult for you? How did you escape? from?"
Why did he tell what happened on his side.Because he spoke without thinking, he also told about himself and Xie Daoan returning to the nine-story pagoda.
Mrs. Qin Hua was a little puzzled by this, "Since you have nothing to do, why didn't you go home directly, but went back to the nine-story tower first?" She gritted her teeth, wishing she could pick He Zhi's ear again, and said angrily, "You Does this child have a long heart! Don't you know that parents will worry about this?"
He Zhi bowed his head in shame.
If it was normal, he would definitely return to Tianxuan Mansion as soon as he was out of danger, and would definitely seek the protection of He Huan and his wife as soon as possible, unlike today.
And when he saw that Mrs. Qin Hua was angry, he sat coyly across from Mrs. Qin Hua, and whispered, "Mother, the situation is different this time."
Mrs. Qin Hua asked puzzledly, "Why is it different?"
He Zhizhi pursed his lips, and said vaguely: "There was another person with me at the time, he saved me, I don't know if he is in danger after I leave, so I want to go back and have a look, and then Go home again..."
Mrs. Qin Hua did not expect this reason.And the child knew that repaying kindness is not a bad thing, so he calmed down because of this, and didn't say anything else.
It's just that the mother and son who were talking didn't know that there was another person in the dark, and they didn't know how these few words of why made that person feel.
Hearing this, the figure hiding in the dark raised his head, and looked at He Zhizhi in surprise, as if he was wondering what he had heard, and did not turn his head for a long time.
Immediately afterwards, the figure hiding in the dark fell into silence, the hand on the hilt of the sword did not move again, but stopped in the same position in such a supportive posture, not interested in listening to Mrs. Qin Hua and He Zhizhi. What else was said.
"Mother, why did Zhisu die?"
After He Zhizhi finished talking about his own affairs, he went to ask about Zhisu's affairs.
Mrs. Qin Hua frowned, as if unwilling to bring up this unfortunate incident: "I don't know very well, but he died a terrible death, and his tongue was pulled out and cut..." She stopped her voice at this point, His expression was not good-looking, "Let's not talk about that, now Qingzong is in a mess, Zhiyu's whereabouts are unknown, Zhisu died tragically in the nine-story pagoda, the old man Zhihuan couldn't stand the blow, now he is no different from that lunatic, just The murder of the two sons was blamed on my Tianxuan Mansion, it was noisy and noisy, and I insisted on your father explaining it."
He Zhizhi frowned in disgust, and was about to give him some explanation, but they didn't kill him, when Mrs. Qin Hua said, "There are more."
"I'm afraid Mengruo is about to come."
When Mrs. Qin Hua said this, her expression was not happy, but worried, as if the sky was about to fall.
He Zhizhi was frightened by Mrs. Qin Hua's performance, and quickly asked: "Why do you want to come here? Could it be because of my marriage with Mr. Zhou?"
"This is one of them. Another point is the movement of the three divine birds." Mrs. Qin Hua touched his head and said solemnly, "The nine-story pagoda is a sanctuary bestowed by heaven on the six realms. Mission, if the person who appears in the nine-story tower disturbs the nine-story tower, the three-headed bird may appear, but it will only drive the person out, and will not keep singing."
Why didn't he understand, "What's wrong with tweeting?"
Mrs. Qin Hua sighed, and said helplessly: "The way of heaven governs all things, and the god bird comes from the way of heaven. No matter in terms of status or seniority, we people are nothing worth mentioning in the eyes of the god bird."
Mrs. Qin Hua simply gave an example: "If it was people like us who disturbed the nine-story pagoda, the divine bird would only drive people away. It wants to deter that person, which means that it is afraid that it will not be able to suppress that person. From this point of view, the origin of that person will not be very simple. And the three-headed bird comes from the righteous way, and the person who is vigilantly and repulsed by the bird will inevitably bring something to the world. People who are in trouble, so in order to find out this matter, your uncle and aunt will come to Yihui in a few days, then you should avoid it and don't show your face."
"Don't show up?"
"Yes, don't show your face." Mrs. Qin Hua said, "Now that Zhi Su is dead, Zhi Huan is like a lunatic. I don't want him to follow you, and your aunt is coming. She is the one who values rules the most. We It's not good to kill Zhihuan in front of her, I can only let you avoid it first."
"Also, Mr. Zhou lives in the mansion now, and he said he wanted to help your father find you. If you go out at this time, it's hard to say whether the matter of the three-headed bird can be found out. It's very likely that Mr. Zhou will take you away." It’s easy to guess. For this reason, we can avoid it as much as we can, and just don’t contact and argue with them. Even if your aunt comes, you still treat her as if she didn’t come, and just follow the previous plan.”
He Zhi understood and nodded obediently.
Seeing that he was obedient, Mrs. Qin Hua sighed again, then looked around, and said worriedly: "Although this inner room is secret, but with Zhou Jun and your aunt's ability to see it, if they are willing to look for it, they will definitely find it." Here, you can’t stay here because of this. Fortunately, Tianxuan Mansion has recruited many newcomers this year. In order to welcome your aunt and her party, your father has just cleaned up for Lin Xinyuan, and assigned a group of servants to go there. This matter is being managed by Huo Falcon, you can also take the opportunity to sneak into this group of people and hide until Zhou Jun and your aunt leave."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Qin Hua thought about what happened during this period, and had no choice but to harden her heart.
"Also, too many things have happened in recent years. In the past, my mother always felt that with my mother, you can do whatever you want, but now I feel that my mother's thoughts are too superficial, and there are always things that I can't take care of. Everything will not be as my mother wished, so from today on, my mother will no longer protect you as before, and do everything for you. You should also try to get used to it. If one day your father and I If you are not here, how should you protect yourself..."
"Also, when Zhou Jun is here, mother and father will not go to see you, lest Zhou Jun follow the clues to find you. You remember these words, don't come to us, and get through the current difficulties first. Also, Don’t be so reluctant, it’s a good thing to be able to avoid Zhou Jun and Qingzong after suffering such a little hardship, understand?”
Why did I understand, it's just...
He looked at Mrs. Qin Hua with a complicated expression, wondering if he should tell Mrs. Qin Hua that Huo Falcon had been replaced now.And when he thought of this matter, he didn't feel anything at first, and after sitting for a while, he had a premonition that his back was going cold. For this reason, he quickly grabbed Mrs. Qin Hua's hand, and asked palely: "You said... Huo Falcon? Huo Falcon is at the house?!"
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Qin Hua looked puzzled, "Shouldn't Huo Falcon be at the residence?"
Of course not.
He Zhizhi was dumbfounded, and was so panicked that he didn't know how to make a sound.He didn't expect that Zhi Yu had already returned to Tianxuan Mansion, and he didn't know what the other party's plan was after he came back.
At this moment, he was thinking of the dead Zhisu, and the Zhiyu who dragged him into no man's land. He had all kinds of messy thoughts in his head. Finally, he gritted his teeth and recalled anxiously when he took him out and died again. Is there any abnormality in the blue pill that was put back? Did the other party find that he moved the blue pill.
He wasn't sure what Zhi Yu was thinking, so he took Mrs. Qin Hua's hand to prevent her from telling Huo Falcon that he was back.
This matter is related to He Zhizhi's safety, even if He Zhizhi didn't ask for it, Mrs. Qin Hua didn't intend to go into details with Huo Falcon.
Afterwards, Mrs. Qin Hua and He Zhizhi said a few insignificant instructions, glanced at the paper figure that He Zhizhi took out, waved He Zhizhi's face into that paper figure's face, and used the servant's He Zhizhi handed over the jade card to He Zhizhi, and asked him to go to the summer shift room where the servants waited for the end of the mansion.
There are quite a few newcomers to the summer class, and they are all responsible for some trivial matters in the mansion.Like why these servants who have just arrived in the summer shift room are usually thrown to wash the spirit stones.
Different from other sects, Profound Sky Mansion has a lot of money and wealth. As long as one enters the mansion, the spirit stones used for cultivation will be distributed by the Profound Sky Mansion, so the Profound Sky Mansion also buys the most spirit stones.
Among them, because there are many disciples of the fire spirit root in the mansion, the spirit stone selected by Tianxuan Mansion is Yanhei stone from the fire spirit land.This kind of spirit stone is special, the outer layer is surrounded by gray lime, and the inner layer is the red spirit stone.
Before use, it needs to be peeled off, cleaned, and then handed over to different disciples.
The summer shift room is where the flint is processed.
As soon as He Zhizhi came to the summer class room, he was frightened by the mountain-like pile of spirit stones in front of him.
His eyes stayed on the thick stone wall, and he didn't need to think deeply to know how much effort it would take to peel off these layers.And he had never done any hard work in his life, so he was very reluctant for this, and immediately glared his eyes angrily and wanted to turn around and leave.
But when he walked to the door, he thought of what Mrs. Qin Hua said just now, and Zhou Jun who was staring at him in the mansion, so he suppressed his anger and walked back with a disgusted expression on his face.But he had never done heavy work before, so when faced with those mundane tasks in the mansion, he would feel embarrassed about not knowing how to start.
If other newcomers are in trouble, the old man who leads them will patiently teach and tell these newcomers what to do.And he is different from the general newcomers, his arrogance makes people look hard to like, so no one wants to come to see his cold face, let him bump against the table with a small dagger, to no avail.
Xu Qing, a new servant at the side, taught him that the speed of washing the spirit stone was much faster. Seeing that he was at a loss, he wiped his hands, brought him here, and told him patiently.
"It's easier to do that."
"Give."
Xu Qing handed over the stripped spirit stone to He Zhizhi, and told He Zhizhi where to start.
He Zhizhi took it on, but he was very impatient with these tasks. He felt pain in his hands after peeling only three stones, so he simply dumped all the remaining stones back, stood up and said, "Peeling stones is so boring, I'm going to Find the steward and give me another errand!"
Hearing his words, everyone around looked over.
"An errand?"
Some people didn't like He Zhizhi's style, sneered, and said: "I'll give you another one, who do you think you are?! Why should a good job be yours, and a dirty job should be someone else's?"
"If you don't do your part, who do you want to suffer for you?"
"That's right! You've already come to the summer class, why are you putting on airs from a wealthy family?"
"You still think this job is tiring, I think you don't know what life people outside are living."
"That's right! Everyone is a man, and they all do the same job. Why are you being hypocritical and yelling when things happen! Look at you, it doesn't look like you only know how to cry when things happen. Father looking for mother's child?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter from around.
Why did he get humiliated by others, blushed with anger, but couldn't say anything to refute, and finally stayed with the momentum of not admitting defeat, but wanted to prove that he was not the coward who these people said that he would only call his father and mother when he was in trouble .
Facing the mountain-like pile of spiritual stones in front of him, He Zhi rolled up his sleeves, thinking that such a trivial matter would not trouble him, then bowed his head in silence, and peeled silently all afternoon, finally peeling off seven spiritual stones.
Faced with these seven spirit stones, why did he feel that it was not easy, but was taught a lesson coldly by the aunt who came to inspect the spirit stones.
My aunt first said that his peeling was not good-looking, and then said that his peeling was not complete enough.
And he really wasn't good enough at peeling, so he couldn't bite the bullet and say he did a good job.But what he didn't expect was that Xu Qing, who was beside him, was picked up by his aunt and scolded because his movements were too neat and the peeling was not fine enough.
In the end, my aunt beat up the newcomers, leaving He Zhizhi and Xu Qing to clean up the rest of the chores, telling them not to eat until they finished.
Why did he finally not have to peel the spirit stone, but ended up with the drudgery of washing the spirit stone.In this regard, He Zhizhi has 1 reluctances in his heart.
Because of his reluctance, he puffed his face, stared angrily, and with an expression of wishing to kill someone—he honestly brushed those spirit stones.Even though his mouth was full of unforgiving curses, the movements of his hands did not stop.
Not only non-stop, he would take time to lift up the spirit stone in the water during the cursing, show it to Xu Qing at the side from a different angle, and tell the other party——
"I wash cleaner than you."
"I'm not saying anything, and I won't be proud of it, but I really wash cleaner than you."
After that, he turned his face away, even though he said to Xu Qing with a straight face that I was not proud, but the corners of the eyes and eyebrows were all washed better by me than you, I am really proud.
Seeing this, Xu Qing thought it was funny, so she shook her head and praised: "You are indeed better at washing than me."
When He Zhizhi heard this, he only felt that the other party was supporting him and chatting, so he immediately smiled at Xu Qing with disdain.
But he made a look of disdain, but the movements of his hands were more honest than the expression on his face, and his working speed was much faster than before. He seemed to be happy for Xu Qing's praise of himself, and he was very proud of it. Work hard, then prick up your ears and wait for someone to praise him again.
On the way, He Zhizhi glanced at Xu Qing behind him, and said a little unconvinced: "In my opinion, she is picking on the bones in the egg and deliberately looking for trouble."
But Xu Qing sighed, picked up the spirit stone at the side, and said in disapproval: "That's not the case, it's really that we didn't do well enough. Because our movements were not fine enough, we blindly pursued doing more and getting more, which made people who shouldn't have done better. The damaged spirit stone has been damaged."
He Zhizhi knew why he said that, peeling spirit stones is hard work, but if the amount of peeling and washing is large, Tianxuan Mansion will give the servants an extra amount of money.
Xu Qing wanted to peel more because she had her own selfish motives.For this reason, he fidgeted and said: "This means that the Tianxuan Mansion is rich and powerful, and the higher-ups don't care about us. If you and I destroy the spirit stone elsewhere today, a beating will definitely be indispensable."
What a surprise.He looked down on these ordinary spirit stones, so he said: "Why do you say it so seriously, these spirit stones are not treasures. They are just broken stones. If they are broken, they will be broken. What are you so worried about?" He said this completely. It is from the perspective of the owner.
Xu Qing didn't know the inside story, was a little surprised, and said in disapproval: "How can this be considered a broken stone! And whether it is broken or not, these things belong to someone else's house. Now you and I are hired by someone and receive a monthly payment from them. , and ruined other people’s finances, it’s already the Tianxuan Mansion’s benevolence to not beat or punish, how can you and I confidently treat other people’s tolerance as a blessing?”
Don't treat other people's tolerance as a common thing. This is the first time why I heard it.
In the past, He Zhi often heard the saying that——
"You are the Young Palace Master of Tianxuan Mansion, what you do, what troubles you cause, others will have to bear the burden."
"Because you are from the He family, no matter what you do is right or wrong, you are right."
"If you bow your head, you will lose the face of Tianxuan Mansion, so you don't have to bow your head for anything in your life."
"Even if it's wrong, it's still right."
Because he is used to the above words, He Zhi has long been used to ignoring the boundaries between right and wrong, so when he heard Xu Qing's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to look at the person in front of him with a dumbfounded expression. Basin, washing the Lingshi in the basin again and again.
Gradually, the spirit stone turned into Zhi Yu's face.
Xu Qing's sentence, don't take other people's tolerance as a blessing, seems to have a very deep meaning.
At this moment, Xu Qing is still saying:
"I think you are the same as me. Most likely you were from a good background before, but you were spoiled by your family, and you don't know how to act right."
He said: "I was very similar to you in the early days. I felt that I was different from others, and others should treat me as they should. Later, my family fell into trouble, my relatives and friends dispersed, and I suffered so much that I realized that there are not so many originals in this world. It should be like this, and then I was surprised to feel that people's kindness and tolerance are just three points of sympathy, three points of kindness, and three points of concern. If you are not as high as your family background, if you want to regret it, no one is willing to listen to it."
The man couldn't help being sad when he said this, so he said again: "But it's meaningless to tell you these things now. In the future, you can see the sorrow and sorrow yourself, and you will understand the reasons. At that time, you don't need others to teach you whether you are wrong or right." , I understand it in my heart."
When He Zhi heard this, his eyes unconsciously glanced to the left, as if he was thinking about something, and then he brushed the stone slowly while looking into the distance with a heavy heart, and never said a word.
In the evening, the other people in the summer class finished their meal, thinking that they hadn't eaten after being punished and tired all day, so they brought some food for them.
Why did he brush the stone until his hands trembled endlessly? Seeing those people surrounded Xu Qing with kind faces and handing over the food they brought to Xu Qing, he could only pretend that he didn't exist, and sat on one side in embarrassment.
Why is it that he can't see it at all.Because I knew I was not likable, why didn't I think that those people would give me a good look.
In fact, he understands a truth.
When he was the Young Master of Tianxuan Mansion, the people around him didn't like him, but because of his identity, those who didn't like him would never leave him.Now, without this most attractive identity, these people will naturally not treat him well, and there is no need for him to mix with these people like Xu Qing.
And just when he was thinking this way, someone handed over a steamed bun angrily, and said in a vicious voice, "Here!"
With a straight face, he said he didn't care, but he straightened his back and kept looking around with his eyes. He Zhi was startled. Just as he was about to hold his head, he saw a steamed bun appear in his field of vision.
The man who delivered the steamed buns saw He and trembled, as if he was about to jump three meters, he saw through his mind at a glance, immediately rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Who wants to hit you?! How can you beat someone up?" As bad as you think? Do you really think that everyone is like you and likes to be cold-eyed and run on others?"
Seeing this scene, the people on the side began to feel wronged for the person who brought the steamed buns, and immediately stared at He Zhizhi and said, "Could it be that in your eyes, the people here are all such cold-blooded and heartless villains who only know how to behave?"
After that, the man saw that He Zhizhi opened his mouth in a daze and didn't refute. He didn't get angry, and directly stuffed the steamed bun into He Zhizhi's arms, and yelled in his mouth whether he wanted to eat it or not, and fed it to the dog. of.
The person on the side said: "If you don't like it, don't eat it."
How could it be possible to see it!
He sneered at the steamed bun, thinking that he had never eaten such a simple food since he was born, so he didn't look down on this simple steamed bun, and he didn't need the person opposite to give it away!
Then, at night, he lay on the big bunk, huddled under the quilt, carefully holding the steamed bun with both hands, turning it over and over again, taking a look at the steamed bun from the quilt from time to time, and then It is very novel to hide the steamed buns in the bed.
"No matter how you look at it, it's impossible to grow pickles." At this time, Xu Qing, who was lying on the side of He Zhizhi with his eyes closed, seemed to be sleeping very peacefully, but his lips did not move, but he squeezed out a sentence, "" Don't eat and play with stink anymore."
When He Zhizhi heard this sentence, he turned sideways, pinched the steamed bun with both hands, like an otter holding a shell, and made a haunting sound.
"Aren't you asleep yet?" He Zhi blinked and whispered, "Actually, I have something to ask you."
Xu Qing's expression didn't change, and he didn't open his eyes. He just asked, "What's wrong?"
Because of nervousness, He chewed two mouthfuls of steamed buns, rolled his eyes, and asked embarrassedly: "If... I mean if! If you have a friend, you treat him well, you save his life , but he will blame you and target you for saving him, what will you do?"
Xu Qing opened his eyes and turned over, and thought for a moment face to face with him, and because he was afraid of disturbing the people resting in the room, he whispered to him: "Drown, drown on the spot, take your life back, don't let me die." He's tired and resentful."
He Zhizhi: "..."
He Zhizhi: "Then... if you said that he didn't look good on you afterwards, but you still saved him and helped him, does that mean that you..."
"It's the relics that have become spirits." Xu Qing pondered for a moment, then said implicitly, "I'm probably accumulating merit."
Why did he choke, remained silent for a long time, and finally said unwillingly: "It's not like this, and you are not a person who is willing to accumulate merit, you just... saved him! Tell me, are you not letting go of the past for a while? ?Always remember that you and he had good times in the past too?"
At this time, a hand was placed on He Zhizhi's shoulder, and someone pressed against his ear, and whispered to him: "You said a thousand words and ten thousand, then what do you think, you know you are wrong Do you have any sincere remorse, have you ever thought about how to make up for it, have you ever thought about apologizing to him, and then ask him what he thinks?"
He Zhizhi was startled, and quickly looked to the left.
Because he was sleeping on the Datong bunk, Xu Qing was on his right, and the man who brought him steamed buns was on his left. Before this man made a sound, he thought Xu Qing was not asleep, but he didn't expect that this man was not asleep either, and he was still like that. Gossip, after listening to the whispers between him and Xu Qing.
He Zhizhi felt embarrassed for a moment, quickly hid the steamed buns, blushed and turned pale, couldn't help but gritted his teeth and asked, "When did you wake up?"
At this time, someone in the room whispered back: "He didn't sleep."
But the voice was also a strange new voice.
It turned out that Xu Qing was not the only one who was awake in the room.
Immediately afterwards, I don't know where it was, and someone said again: "But you are too annoying, if I were the friend you mentioned, let alone save you, I would be able to stuff you into the palace that day." Drowning in a bucket, you said you don't know good from bad, don't you know good from bad?"
At this time, someone was so curious that he couldn't help but sat up and asked the opposite bed, "What else did you do after that?"
He Zhi shrank his neck and was pushed and pulled up by them, only then did he notice that there were more than a dozen little heads wrapped in quilts around him, obviously watching the excitement.
These people of his age gathered together and surrounded him, ready to listen to what he hadn't finished talking before.And he also uncharacteristically did not excuse himself, but recalled the details of his time with Zhiyu, looked at the people around him who didn't know him at all, and told these strangers what happened around him.
At this moment, whether it is too low self-esteem or pride, those complex emotions are suppressed.
He has no friends to confide in, and urgently needs to talk to people about his heart, he regards these people as driftwood in the water that he can grab.
He was frustrated but couldn't hide his relief, and he spoke out his most embarrassing heart.
Whether it's jealousy of Zhi Yu, or resentment of his own inadequacies, he has talked about it.
He was then pulled up by these men and carried to a chair.These people surrounded by quilts with only one head exposed stretched out their fingers, pointed at him in the same posture, circled around him, and kept saying, "Excessive!"
"I've never seen someone so exaggerated like you!"
"If you feel ashamed and embarrassing, then let's study hard and not use power to oppress others, and if others laugh at you after you work hard, it means that their character is bad to the bone, and there is something wrong with you. Why should you accept it? Others ridicule and accuse you? Also, who stipulates that the non-strong cannot live in this world?"
"You are also confused. If someone saved you with good intentions, it's fine if you don't feel grateful. After that, you still treat him coldly, and because of others' instigation, you confront him tit-for-tat. In the end, you get into a situation where you hate each other. You say you are Not brainless!"
Among the accusing voices, only Xu Qing who washed the spirit stone with He Zhizhi suddenly asked He Zhizhi: "You said so much but didn't mention it. Have you ever regretted this matter in the past?"
"No."
He Zhi replied without hesitation.
Xu Qing said again: "You said that you wanted to find him one night, and then you went back, but what did you want to find him at that time?"
He Zhi was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly couldn't answer.
He lowered his eyes and remembered that after he and Zhi Yu got into a stalemate, he couldn't sleep well one night, and he walked to Qingzong alone, but walked back halfway.
And why didn't he sleep well then?
He thought for a moment, closed his eyes and searched for the memory of that time, and finally dug out the feelings of that time in the memory with great difficulty, but he didn't want to mention it in front of anyone.
It was summer at that time, and when he was with Zhiyu, he would often go to Wangshan to see Yeying. Although he didn't want to face Zhiyu and accept his beast body at that time, he would still think of Zhiyu when he was alone. Yu.For this reason, when he had a cup of hot wine and saw that the lights were about to go out in the distance, he climbed out of the high wall of Tianxuan Mansion, and started walking towards Qingzong alone with not-so-flexible steps.
But the wind on the road was too strong, and the smell of alcohol in his body was blown away, and his courage dissipated along with the smell of alcohol.
Then, with the full moon above his head, passing by the ditch, he saw his own figure on both sides of the road, and suddenly felt that the figure was blurry, black and gray, completely different from Zhi Yu's.
I don't know when it started, people around him often said that he and Zhi Yu were not in the same way, that he should not drag Zhi Yu around, and many people said that he was not worthy of playing with Zhi Yu.
They all said that Zhi Yu is a talented and capable person, he and Zhi Yu are not compatible, and their personalities are also very different, they are not like people who can play together at all.As time goes by, Zhi Yu will always get tired of him.
He knew that he was really not outstanding, those voices always compared him with Zhi Yu, and after a long time, he inevitably fell in love with him, and a sense of inferiority came from it, although it was not like a raging sea, But it has become the dripping stone. The sound of torment does not pay attention to speed, but only pays attention to a thin and long-lasting sound.Over time, even though he pretended to be full of confidence, he would still start to observe Zhi Yu's face when he was with Zhi Yu, worrying about whether what he said just now was stupid, whether Zhi Yu was laughing at him in his heart, and worried at the same time Zhi Yu would look down on him.
And these emotions have been accumulated for a long time. When Zhiyu frowned when facing the proposal of marriage in Tianxuan Mansion, when Zhiyu often went to Xie Daoan's place, after the gap between him and Zhiyu became bigger and bigger, it completely ruined him and turned him into a dream beast. that day.
Before that, he had been thinking that if he took up the body of a powerful monster, then the gap between him and Zhi Yu would not be so big, and then he would not have to worry about stepping his left foot in front of Zhi Yu.
