Paradise

The three of Zhou Ze went to the noodle restaurant on the street to eat noodles. This noodle restaurant is quite close, a few steps away from the inn.Zhou Ze ordered four bowls of hot noodle soup, one of which was intended to be given to Liu Erfei.

Zhou Ze talked to the shopkeeper of the noodle shop and asked him to serve a bowl of noodles first. He planned to serve this bowl of noodles to Liu Erfei first, fearing that he would not be full, so he took two pancakes.

"The noodles are here, you eat first, I'll be back soon." Zhou Ze said.

"Brother Zhou, let me deliver it." Liu Qiang stood up and said.

"No need, I'll go back as soon as I go!"

Zhou Ze quickly came to the backyard of the inn with the noodles, "Er Fei, here are the noodles, let's eat."

Liu Erfei never expected that Zhou Ze would bring him the noodles in advance. The feeling of being valued by others made his heart warm, "Brother Zhou, you don't need to bring me the noodles. Just bring me two pancakes when you come back." become."

"It's only a few steps away, eat quickly! It's not enough, there are still two pancakes. I'll go back first, and I'll come over to replace you after dinner."

At the beginning, Zhou Ze also wanted to finish his meal and see if there was any convenient food for Liu Erfei to bring back. When he went to the noodle shop, he found that it was so close to the inn, so it was convenient to bring it to Liu Erfei, so he said hello to the noodle shop owner. , brought the noodles.

When Zhou Ze returned to the noodle shop, the noodles were just on the table. Lin Yu and Liu Qiang hadn't eaten yet. They were waiting for Zhou Ze to eat the noodles together.

Liu Qiang ate the noodles very quickly. After he finished eating, he said, "Brother Zhou, I have already paid for the noodles just now. Please eat slowly. I will go back and take Erfei's place and ask him to bring the bowl back."

Liu Qiang went to replace Liu Erfei, Liu Erfei sent the bowl back to the noodle restaurant, Zhou Ze and the two also finished eating the noodles, and the three went back to the inn together.

Zhou Ze wanted to go to the backyard to change Liu Qiang back. The two of them helped them a lot this day, and it would not be appropriate to let someone help guard the goods. Zhou Ze has always been able to do it by himself, and he is used to everything. On his own, he doesn't like to trouble others very much.

"Ayu, go back to your room and rest, lock the door, and I will go to the backyard to watch the night." Zhou Ze said.

"Okay, Brother Zhou, be careful yourself." Lin Yu said.

"Brother Zhou, go back to your room and sleep for a while, Qiangzi told me just now, we two will stay in the middle of the night, so you don't have to go there." Liu Erfei said.

"Have you bothered you today? You have a lot of troubles. How can you still keep his vigil? You go back to the house and rest, I can do it myself." Zhou Ze said.

"Brother Zhou, it's too outrageous for you to say that. We call you big brother and treat you as a brother. What a trivial matter. You have helped us so much. We should do all these things, Brother Zhou. You go back, we are here!"

"Okay, I'll come over to replace you in the middle of the night." Zhou Ze wasn't in the mood for coddling, so he didn't give in anymore.

Liu Qiang and Liu Erfei stayed in the first half of the night, and Zhou Ze stayed in the second half of the night. The whole night was safe and sound. In the blink of an eye, the next day, early in the morning, Lin Yu packed up all the things in the room and checked it again to make sure nothing was missing. Take all their stuff in the car.

They had a simple breakfast at the inn, and drove the mule cart on their way home. There was a lot of goods stuffed in the carriage, and there was barely room for two people to sit. Liu Qiang and Liu Erfei sat outside the carriage and drove. The mood is relaxed and happy, and there is a hint of urgency. They have been away from home for two or three days, and they all want to go home.

No matter how good Fucheng is, it is not as good as home. Some of them are thinking about their family members, some are thinking about their wives, and they are even thinking about whether it is time to weed their own several acres of land, whether their pigs have grown meat... …

"Brother Zhou, I don't know how Xiaobao is doing at home alone. Is he hungry enough? Next time I go out, I'd better take him with me. I don't worry about leaving him at home alone."

This time I was thinking about the "two-person world" that Zhou Ze said. Lin Yu left Lin Bao at home and regretted it when he went out. He only had Lin Bao as a younger brother. After their parents passed away one after another, they depended on each other for life. Relying on each other, they are the closest people to each other. Lin Yu is worried that her younger brother will not be able to eat well at home, and will not be able to sleep at night. Will he be afraid of guarding such a large yard alone...

Zhou Ze knew that it was normal for Lin Yu to feel sorry for his younger brother, but now Lin Bao was no longer the kid who was bullied by others. Lin Bao had grown a lot in this year. There are several little friends beside him, a few brats who are doing well in the village.

"Don't worry, Ayu, Xiaobao is fine, he is stronger than you imagined, if you don't believe me, you will know when you go back and have a look." Zhou Ze comforted.

"He is still young, how powerful he can be. He was often bullied by the children in the village. He didn't say anything when he was bullied. He endured the pain by himself. I found blood on the clothes when I was washing. I asked him, he He said he was afraid that I would be worried, and that I was going to find those children, but he stopped me from going, for fear that I would also be bullied..." In Lin Yu's eyes, his younger brother was still a child who hadn't grown up, and he couldn't help recalling In the past, the two brothers were bullied, and the worry in my heart could not be restrained.

Zhou Ze took Lin Yu's hand and comforted him silently. He felt very distressed when he heard what happened to their brothers before.

"Ayu, with me here in the future, no one will bully you."

Zhou Ze took Lin Yu into his arms and patted him on the shoulder, "Xiaobao will be fine, trust me, go to sleep, we will go back soon."

Zhou Ze and the others set off early and returned to Luoxia Village in the evening.

The days now are getting longer and warmer day by day. People in the village will sit under the tree after dinner early, chatting, wearing shoe soles or something, to pass the time.

When Zhou Ze and his mule cart entered the village, they were spotted by the villagers. Someone stood up, shouted at them, and said excitedly, "Boy Zhou, you are back! Your little treasure is promising, The thief was caught and sent to the government."

At this time, Zhou Ze and Lin Yu were sitting outside the carriage and were a little surprised to hear the sound. They stopped the mule cart. Liu Qiang and Liu Erfei in the carriage also heard the voice, and stuck their heads out of the carriage.

"Second Uncle Zhao, what did you just say, Xiaobao and the others caught the thief, where did the thief come from? How could there be a thief in our village?" Liu Qiang asked.

What he asked was also what Zhou Ze and Lin Yu wanted to ask. They all looked at Second Uncle Zhao, wanting to hear from him what was going on.

"That thief is Mr. Liu in our village. They all went to the government. Several people in our village followed him. They said that the county magistrate was still on trial, and he beat Mr. Liu with forty sticks. Yes, he stole things from several houses in our village, and you said it was annoying, but now it’s all right, he was arrested, and his hatred was relieved.”
