Baitao really faced the wall when she returned.
But after a while, her head drooped, looking wilted, and her innocent and watery big eyes could make people see her heart at a glance, "Brother."
Bai Tu: "..."
After finally giving in, he lifted the little guy on the cushion with one hand and said, "Sit tight."
"Brother talked about fattening in the palace, what does it mean to be fattened?" Baitao didn't understand.
Bai Tu said: "Eating hardships that others cannot endure, walking the path that others cannot walk, and becoming a person that others cannot become, this is fattening."
Endure hardship, walk, and become an adult.
Wait until you become a good person before being eaten by goblins.
Baitao felt that the man named Zhao Zheng was too pitiful. After so many twists and turns, he only ended up being eaten.
It would be better to just take it back into her mouth and swallow it, which would be more enjoyable.
The calculations in my heart were rattling. Baitao saw her brother leaning on the cave with his hands on his shoulders, his silver hair pouring out from his head. He closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something. His facial features were so handsome and evil that it was beyond words.
She stood up on her fox paws and came closer to him, "Brother."
Brother Ah hummed, "Yeah."
"Brother, can I also be fattened?" Baitao said innocently.
"Can."
*
Three days later.
The sky was dimming, and there were some rustling sounds in the dilapidated house next to the horse gallery.
There was a shrill female voice, sobbing, "Zichu, my Zichu, why are you so cruel, wuwuwu."
"You said you would come back to pick me up. As you said, you lied to me, why did you lie to me! You are so cruel, you are so cruel, wuwuwu, my Zichu..."
"Squeak——"
The firewood door was pushed open, and Zhao Zheng walked out. He had a handsome face, as if he was already accustomed to everything around him.
After opening the door to let in some air, he held onto the door frame and looked up at the still dark sky outside.
He lay in bed for three days. Although the slaves who guarded him looked down upon him, he escaped the bad luck of being tricked because of the beads given by the girl.
The body has recovered to 30% to 40%, but the flesh scraped by the iron whip has not grown yet, and every move causes acrid pain.
But Zhao Zheng didn't want to lie on the bed like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. He used all the resources around him to create a chance to survive.
Zhao Zheng set up his horse in the yard.
He swung out military fists, and his fists brought wind.
Without a master to teach him, this boxing technique was taught to him by an old cavalryman who was disabled on the battlefield and retired to raising horses.
He especially cherished other people's advice and practiced diligently every day. Even if he couldn't fight back against Zhao Yan's faction who bullied him, he could avoid fatal injuries without leaving any trace.
The young boy was sweating in the courtyard. A long mark bulged on his back under the cloth, showing an unyielding stubbornness.
Practiced three rounds.
He heard something strange besides the sound of fists. Zhao Zheng's clenched fists stopped in mid-air and he looked warily at the earthen wall next to him.
I saw a girl with a double-wound bun climbing up the wall in his yard at some point.
Her red caltrop was dangling and she was struggling to climb. Although she was a little girl, she had the mischievous air of an elf.
She didn't panic when she was discovered.
She continued to climb as if she couldn't see her. This calm look almost made Zhao Zheng think it was her yard.
"thump."
The girl lost her grip and fell down, landing on her head on all fours.
The strange thing is that she doesn't howl or cry at the top of her lungs, and seems quiet.
After getting up, I looked up and saw that the pink face had turned gray.
A bit pitiful.
Zhao Zhengxin said that he took back his earlier thought that she was calm.
He walked over and asked, "Whose child are you from?"
Baitao felt a little depressed now, and Fox didn't want to talk when he was depressed.
If it weren't for the inconvenience of being a human being compared to being a fox, how could she have fallen down in such an embarrassing manner?
How about showing off with four paws in mid-air and letting out a roar?
Zhao Zheng saw that the girl's eyes were watery, her face was dirty and she was silent.
He's a little weird.
He also saw two golden bells tied to her ankles, but he hadn't heard the sound of the bells from just now until now. He couldn't raise his head during the banquet and couldn't see clearly the look of the girl who saved him. Could it be her?
"I am a brother's child."
Baitao clapped her hands and wiped her face again. In fact, she wanted to lick her fur now, but she held it back.
As soon as the words came out, Zhao Zheng understood who she was. He walked over and brought her half a gourd and a gourd to draw water from the well, "Wash first."
The well water was cool and slightly rippling. Baitao stretched out his hands and dipped them into the gourd gourd and rubbed them.
This ladle was a vessel for holding water, not for cleaning, but Zhao Zheng let her go, and finally wiped her hands.
Baitao felt that acting like this was a bit like a slave serving someone in the Zhao palace.
Didn’t you say you won’t be a slave?
She tilted her head to look at him. His long and thick eyelashes were slightly drooped, looking very regular.
rule?
A rule that you won’t obey even if you’re beaten in the hall?
Baitao suspected that her feelings for him were wrong, but it seemed like that was the case. Just as she was savoring the feeling of human flesh, a haggard-looking woman rushed out of the room.
The woman's eyes were sunken and hollow, without any light at all.
When she locked the extra white peach in the yard, her eyes suddenly burst with light, "Zi Chu! You are the person sent by Zi Chu, right? He came to pick me up, and he promised to take me back From Qin, right? Did he promise it? Tell me! "
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand like a dead branch to grab the white peach.
Baitao thought of a hundred ways to avoid it in her mind.
Zhao Zheng's obviously thin body next to him didn't know what kind of power he burst out. He actually picked up Baitao with one hand and avoided it, "Mom, she is not an official of the Qin State."
"How could it be, how could it not be?"
Zhao Ji couldn't believe it, "Look at how rich she is... how rich she is... Is she Zi Chu's son who was born in Qin, right?! Is your father greedy for glory and wealth and forgetting about us?"
Zhao Ji felt lost for a while, and burst into tears for a while.
Finally, she looked at Zhao Zheng bitterly, "It's all your fault. If I hadn't given birth to you as a burden, I would have returned to Qin with Zichu. Maybe I would be the one staying with her now. If you hadn't been holding me back, if you hadn't been holding me back, , if it weren’t for you, how could I have escaped with you!”
She hated it more and more.
Her hatred turned into reality, and she scratched Zhao Zheng's face hard. Zhao Zheng turned his head to dodge, but he was still scratched with a long bloody mark by his sharp fingertips.
The blood gushed out, but Zhao Zheng was distant and emotionless, "If you want to blame me, blame me."
Over the years, he has become accustomed to it.
Despite his calm appearance, he was the only one who firmly held Baitao's collar hand, revealing deep self-injury.
Baitao felt like half of her feet were in the air. She knew that there was a folk saying called scolding a mother, and she wanted to learn it now.
There is nothing wrong with carrying it, except her neck.
Baitao cursed in her heart and said with a puffed face, "Let go."
Zhao Zheng put her down.
After putting it down, Baitao hid far away from him. Zhao Ji trembled and trembled on the spot for a while, then walked into the dark room like she lost her soul. She was also very thin, so thin that she didn't seem to weigh anything. It passed as if the ground was floating.
Zhao Ji cried as she walked, "Zi Chu, wu wu wu, my Zi Chu, I only hope that you will return..."
She is full of death energy and will definitely die in a few years.
Baitao scooped water from the bucket and splashed it all over the floor. Now she felt pitiful for Zhao Zheng again.
Even if his father abandoned his mother, he would also leave him. From now on, he would be the only one left, and after all the setbacks, he would end up in her and his brother's belly.
I don't know if it tastes good or not.
Baitao shook his hands and went over to ask Zhao Zheng, who was sitting on the steps, "Can you give me something to eat?"
Half of his face was hidden in the shadows. Only his thin chin was left blank. Blood lines snaked down it, dripping on the ground and blooming red plums. "Okay."
This was the first time Baitao asked his prey for permission.
Previous prey were mute.
When you put your paw down, it just squeaks.
She licked her mouth, then quietly leaned against his neck, opened her mouth, revealing two long fox teeth.
Just when she was about to bite it, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Dong dong dong."
Zhao Zheng pulled away from his thoughts and looked at the girl next to him. The girl covered her mouth with both hands, her smiling eyes were crooked, innocent and undefended, and as sweet and soft as a hundred flowers in bloom.
Zhao Zheng went to open the door.
Baitao stomped on the spot angrily.
She wanted to see who could dare to ruin her vixen's good deeds.
The door opened.
He is a tall, well-dressed young man.
He was holding Zhang Guqin in his arms, with a white jade pendant hanging from his waist, and he was dressed like a human.
But he always said it with a condescending contempt, "Brother Zheng, I heard that you were punished in the palace, so I came here to see you."
It's been three days.
Zhao Zheng welcomed him in, closed the door and bolted it. When he turned around, his expression was as usual, "Brother Ji, I'll take care of you."
When Prince Dan of Yan Kingdom - Ji Dan walked in with Qin in his arms, he noticed the pretty girl in the courtyard.
Just when he was asking, he seemed to see the blood on Zhao Zheng's face. He said with a little concern, "This is a new injury. How did you get it?"
Zhao Zheng wiped the blood on his face with his fingertips and didn't take it seriously, "I hurt it accidentally."
"I heard that you contradicted King Zhao in the main hall. Is this really the case?"
"yes."
"As the saying goes, people under the eaves have to bow their heads. Can't you just keep your head down and be small?"
Ji Dan lectured, "You must be so stubborn. This time King Zhao called you over, which is obviously to make things difficult. You just tolerated it and passed it, and you still insist on going up to hit this wind."
Zhao Zheng said coldly, "If I step back even an inch, others will definitely bully me."
Ji Dan frowned, obviously disapproving.
He held Qin with one hand, shook his sleeves, saw Baitao in the yard and asked, "Who is she?"
Zhao Zheng followed his gaze and looked over.
The girl raised her little face, hugged her knees and sat on the stone steps. She was so well behaved, but Zhao Zheng actually didn't know the girl's name.
Baitao said at the right time, "My name is Baitao."
There was a little baby on the left and Ji Dan didn't take it seriously.
Zhao Zheng took out the straw mat and Ji Dan knelt down on it and played with his guqin, gently turning it left and right to test the sound.
With his focused eyes, he could only see the dead things in front of him.
Baitao sat on the stone steps and watched, seeing the unharmed Ji Dan sitting there with peace of mind, leaving the injured Zhao Zheng busy. After Zhao Zheng took the straw mat, he went to get the gourd and scoop out the well water and handed it to him.
"Thank you, Brother Zheng."
Ji Dan took it and drank it with his mouth.
The two of them were both hostages, and it was difficult to survive in an enemy country. He felt a little sympathy for Zhao Zheng.
But Ji Dan is the prince of the Yan Kingdom and a serious crown prince. He was sent as a proton in order to accumulate prestige and better inherit the throne in the future.
But Zhao Zheng is not. He is the grandson of the Wild King who has not yet recognized his ancestors and returned to his clan. Even if he is reduced to being a hostage, his status is much higher than him.
What's more, Ji Dan thought that she was doing this for him, but this younger brother Zheng didn't even listen to his advice.
Ji Dan felt a little boring.
He continued to admonish, "Brother Zheng, don't blame me for being noisy, it's really..."
Zhao Zheng took the gourd with which Baitao had washed his hands and scooped up another spoonful of well water, and put it in front of him, "Brother Ji's visit is hard, and the weather is hot, so you should drink more water."
Ji Dan: "...."
Bai Tao: Hmm.
It's a bit like her brother preaching to her. She can't cover the fox's ears and not listen, but she can pretend not to hear.
This Zhao Zheng has some of her essence.
Ji Dan gulped down the water in the handwashing ladle again, and did not mention this in the end.
He put his hand on the guqin and sighed a few times, and said, "Brother Zheng, the State of Yan has come to pick me up. When I return to the State of Yan, I will be able to rectify those mediocre people who deceived my father, defeated the army and harmed the country, and restored our Yan State. The national strength of the country!”
Zhao Zheng lowered his eyelashes and said lightly: "Congratulations to Brother Ji."
He continued to speak impassionedly, with some tears in his eyes, "I, the prince of the Yan Kingdom, must stand in the temple when I go back. Otherwise, how will I hide my face in the world in the future, and how will I face the people of the Yan Kingdom?" Subjects?"
He patted Zhao Zheng on the shoulder and said, "Even if you are in the mud, you should have high aspirations, otherwise you will live in vain. Brother Zheng, remember what I said to you! You may have the opportunity to return to the Qin Kingdom in the future." Don’t fall.”
Zhao Zheng was not moved.
Baitao watched the excitement.
After that, Prince Ji Dan played the piano excitedly, "The rest of the place is dark and dark, and the sky will never be seen. The road is dangerous and difficult, and I will come alone."
The emotion affected Zhao Ji in the room, and then Zichu burst out, "Zichu, my husband! How can I live without you!"
