This arrogance is exactly the same as Hua Fushu's.
Nan Xing turned around and said coldly, "Shut up."
"Talk less and follow me." Zhang Zhongjian glanced at Sai Yuhuan and followed Nanxing.
Sai Yuhuan shut her mouth in disappointment and followed.
A few people walked through the low earthen ridge and saw another world. There were more than ten farmhouses in the fields. Some of the farmhouses had small courtyards. What was planted in the fields was no longer ginger, but licorice. The licorice was about two or three feet tall, but not as much as ginger. There were at least fifty or sixty acres.
Zhang Zhongjian took two steps at a time and walked to Nanxing's side, "Brother, why are there so many licorice roots here?"
Nan Xing took two steps forward with his long legs. He didn't want to pay any attention to those who bullied the young master. He shouted into the licorice field, "Boss Cang."
Cangzhu, who had been squatting in the licorice field pulling weeds, stood up, holding a handful of weeds in his hand. He glanced at Zhang Zhongjian and his wife, then said to Nanxing, "Take them in. I'll be there later."
"If I want you to take me with you," Nanxing gave Zhang Zhongjian and the other man a look, then left.
Cang Zhu walked out of the licorice field and casually threw the weeds on the roadside. His palms, fingers, and fingertips were covered in mud. He raised his arm and made a gesture of invitation, "Second Master, please come in."
Zhang Zhongjian looked at Cang Shu's hand and was startled. He smiled and said, "Mr. Cang is very hardworking."
Cangshu smiled apologetically and said, "If you don't work hard, you won't have anything to eat."
Cangshu led the way in front. Zhang Zhongjian took two steps and quickly caught up with Cangshu, walking with him, while Sai Yuhuan was at the end.
Zhang Zhongjian looked around the licorice field. The licorice was growing very well, with thick rhizomes. He said, "Hua'er, are you in the medicinal herb business? Why are you growing so much licorice?"
Cang Zhu suddenly stopped and asked, "You are very familiar with the young master, how do you know his nickname?"
Zhang Zhongjian asked, "Very familiar?"
"Who are you and what is your relationship with the young master?" Cang Shu saw that Zhang Zhongjian's words did not sound like a joke.
Zhang Zhongjian said seriously: "I am her cousin, her uncle."
Cang Zhu was shocked, "You, what did you say?" He looked at Zhang Zhongjian with suspicion in his eyes.
Zhang Zhongjian smiled and said, "You don't have to doubt it. She doesn't know my identity. She thought I was dead, and I am indeed dead."
If you can't live with your true identity and can't face the light, then even if you're still alive, what's the difference between that and being dead?
"Why didn't you recognize her when you were in Qingyun Mountain?" Cang Shu calmed down and asked Zhang Zhongjian indifferently. He knew that the young master had an uncle, but the young master said that he was dead.
Zhang Zhongjian said, "I had my concerns at the time. Now that they are gone, I will recognize her. I will go to Beijing to find her in a few days."
Cang Zhu nodded and took them to a farmhouse without saying much.
The farmhouse has a yard, and the fence is covered with morning glory vines. The leaves are green with clear veins, and the blue, crimson and purple flowers are a little wilted.
In the yard, a fat hen was looking for food with its chicks. Its claws were digging in the soil and its beak was pecking at it from time to time. A dozen fluffy chicks, covered in yellow fur, followed the mother hen.
Some of them imitated their mother hen to find food, some rolled their eyes, some looked left and right, some stood still with a confused look on their faces, and some were very brave, holding up their short necks, and looking with their two fish-sized eyes at the almond eyes in front of them that were many times bigger than them.
Xiao Yuezheng squatted with his legs spread out, just like a frog. He opened his eyes wide and looked at this strange little chicken intently. He scratched his ears with his little hands, and his brows looked a little worried. Why was this little chicken looking at him?
He reached out and grabbed the chick. The old hen puffed up her feathers, spread her wings, flew over angrily, and pecked Yue Zheng's hand twice.
Yue Zheng felt pain, loosened his hands, and the chicken slipped from his hands.
Seeing that their mother looked ferocious, the chicks quickly hid behind her.
The old mother was about to peck Yue Zheng again, but Yue Zheng was quick-witted and quick-handed. He retracted his little hand and leaned back to avoid the old mother's mouth.
The old mother was disappointed and left with the chicks.
Yue Zheng leaned back with too much force, and ended up falling to the ground, hitting the back of his head.
"Ah..." Yue Zheng screamed out in pain because of his headache.
Yin Jiujiu, who was in the room, heard the cry and hurried out. She helped Yue Zheng up and saw his face was covered in tears. She felt so distressed. "What are you doing lying on the ground? Where did you fall?"
Yue Zheng touched his head and said, "Uncle Jiu, I hit my head."
Yin Jiujiu touched the back of Yue Zheng's head and said, "Does it hurt? How did you fall? Why were you so careless? How can I explain to your parents if you get hurt?"
Yue Zheng pointed at the old mother and accused it of its crime, "It pecked my hand, it hurts, Uncle Jiu!"
Yin Jiujiu looked at the back of Yue Zheng's hand and saw that there were indeed two red spots, the kind that were about to bleed, and her eyes were filled with heartache.
Cangshu came closer and saw at a glance that Yue Zheng had brought this upon himself. "You caught Luhua's cub."
This Luhua is the name of the old female cat. Luhua was raised by the young master when he bought Meiling Manor.
Seeing Cang Shu's fierce expression, Yue Zheng got angry and said, "I didn't!"
"I saw it. Zheng'er must admit his mistakes." Zhang Zhongjian walked over and looked at Yue Zheng seriously.
When Yue Zheng saw that it was Zhang Zhongjian, regardless of whether his head hurt or not, he rushed over and hugged Zhang Zhongjian's thighs, "Daddy!"
Seeing Sai Yuhuan also coming, he immediately let go of Zhang Zhongjian, hugged Sai Yuhuan's neck, and said happily, "Mother!"
Sai Yuhuan hadn't seen her beloved son for many days and missed him very much. She hugged Yue Zheng and kissed his forehead.
Yin Jiujiu was also very happy and said in a pleasant voice: "Big sister, second brother, you are here."
Zhang Zhongjian patted Yin Jiujiu's shoulder and said, "Just arrived."
"If a hair of reed fluff is missing, you have to pay me with silver." Cang Zhu looked at Yin Jiujiu and said in a rather cold tone. It was a good time for the family to be reunited, so he turned around and left without disturbing them.
Yin Jiujiu became displeased upon hearing this and looked at Cang Shu's back, "It's just a chicken."
Cangzhu said lightly: "Luhua is the young master's treasure. If a hair is missing, I will cut off your arm." Then he walked out of the yard.
Yin Jiujiu gritted her teeth, but she had no choice but to bow her head under someone else's roof.
Zhang Zhongjian looked at Yin Jiujiu's frustrated look and felt pity for him. He had no choice but to comfort him: "Brother, you don't have to take Master Cang's words to heart. He was just joking. You should also be sensible and not bully my niece's favorite chicken."
Yin Jiujiu originally thought that Zhang Zhongjian really wanted to comfort him, but when he heard the last sentence, he was so angry that his heart ached. Zhang Zhongjian valued his niece more than his brother.
He rolled his eyes at Zhang Zhongjian, flicked his sleeves and went into the house.
Cangshu told Nanxing and Jingmo the identity of Zhang Zhongjian, and they were both surprised.
