Chapter 74 Chapter Seventy-Two

Zhaofeng brought Bai Xiaoyang and Zhang Ziheng up and down the mountain road for dozens of miles. Bai Xiaoyang's weak body really couldn't bear it. Before he walked far, Bai Xiaoyang's face was covered with sweat. His cheeks dripped down his neck, he was panting, and his face was as white as paper. Zhaofeng asked her several times if she could leave, but Bai Xiaoyang gritted her teeth and nodded. Zhang Ziheng followed Bai Xiaoyang sullenly. Seeing Bai Xiaoyang struggling so much, his heart felt like a huge boulder was weighing on him.Several times I wanted to ask Bai Xiaoyang if he should recite a paragraph, but he held back several times.Zhang Ziheng always has a sense of timidity and shyness in his bones towards the opposite sex who is similar in age.

It was still Zhaofeng who couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Xiao Yangzi, if you really can't do it, don't hold on. Let Zhang Ziheng carry you for a while." Hearing what Zhaofeng said, Zhang Ziheng really hurried up two steps, and squatted in front of Bai Xiaoyang, as if bowing his head and doing his best. Bai Xiaoyang wiped the sweat off his face, and said to Zhaofeng and Zhang Ziheng, "Don't be so exaggerated, let's just walk slowly." Zhang Ziheng squatted on the ground and looked at Zhaofeng. Zhao Feng said, "If she wants to be stubborn, let her do it!"

Zhang Ziheng stood up. The three of them stopped and walked, but Bai Xiaoyang really persisted with her perseverance.Just walking to the three broken thatched huts where Zhaofeng and Wanshenxian lived, he was already exhausted and almost collapsed. Looking at the three broken thatched huts, tears welled up in Bai Xiaoyang's eyes instantly, and a light pink surface appeared on his face because of his excitement.This layer of pink surfaced on her soft and vivid face, making it even more charming and lovable. Bai Xiaoyang didn't care about the exhaustion of her body, she walked in front of Zhaofeng a few steps, came to the two broken wooden doors that were locked, and said emotionally: "Uncle Zhaofeng, the lock and the door are still the same as before. what?"

Zhaofeng laughed and said, "Who dares to mess with your Wanzuzu's things!" Bai Xiaoyang said: "Isn't Wan Zuzu in the house?" Zhaofeng said: "Not in the house. Your Wan Zuzu is in a place where no one can find it. I will take you to see him after noon." Bai Xiaoyang let out a groan, and a look of joy appeared on his face, which had always been filled with sorrow and gloom. Zhaofeng opened the door, and Bai Xiaoyang couldn't wait to push it open and walked into the room. Everything in front of her was so familiar yet so strange, and her eyes were full of novelty.

Zhaofeng said, "Xiao Yangzi, you haven't been here for ten years, right?" Bai Xiaoyang nodded and said, "But I often play here in my dreams." Zhaofeng chuckled and said, "Your dad did the same. After taking you away, he never sent you back. You Wanzuzu, you often scolded your dad in front of me, saying that your dad was ungrateful and made him Kuanxinbao was taken away, and he was not even given a chance to take a look." Bai Xiaoyang's eye circles were red again, and she walked into the next room.The room was empty, with limited light, and only a wooden canopy bed was placed alone in the inner corner.There are not even quilts and mosquito nets on it, only a few wooden boards on it, and there is a long pebble on one end of the bed, which looks like a lying piglet from a distance.

Bai Xiaoyang said: "Where's Wan Zuzu's big flower bed with three advances and three retreats?" Zhaofeng said: "The rebels carried it to the courtyard dam, smashed it up and set it on fire." Bai Xiaoyang said fiercely: "Why do those people not cherish things so much? Are they crazy?" Zhaofeng sighed and said, "It's really crazy. When you smashed your Wan Zuzu's bed, you Wan Zuzu almost went crazy too. That bed almost took your Wan Zuzu's life!" Bai Xiaoyang walked to the canopy bed, and stroked the cobblestone that looked like a piglet. The cobblestone was green and cool, and very smooth.

Zhaofeng said: "Now in this house, there is only this cobblestone that your Wanzuzu used to make a pillow." Bai Xiaoyang didn't speak, and gently stroked the cobblestone. She was immersed in the memories of the past, and a few crystal tears fell on the cobblestone. Zhaofeng said: "Do you still remember when you were young, Wan Zuzu often asked you to move this stone to the middle of the bed, and you rode on it naughty?" Bai Xiaoyang burst into tears, and said with a choked voice, "Remember!" Zhaofeng also said: "When those rebels burned down the big flower bed of your Wanzuzu, they were still angry and moved this big rock out to smash it. Fortunately, they didn't bring a hammer. You can't even see the big rock. Your Wan Zuzu's precious thing, the only thing left is this pebble."

Suddenly, Bai Xiaoyang leaned closer to the cobblestone and looked at it carefully... Zhaofeng noticed that Bai Xiaoyang stared at the stone strangely, so he stared at her. Bai Xiaoyang moved his face closer to the stone, the light in the room was a little dim, and Bai Xiaoyang didn't seem to be able to see clearly. Zhaofeng stared at Bai Xiaoyang and asked, "Xiao Yangzi, is there anything weird about this stone?" Bai Xiaoyang looked very carefully and focused, but she didn't hear Zhaofeng's words. Zhaofeng called again softly: "Xiao Yangzi." Bai Xiaoyang responded as if he had come to his senses, but his eyes still did not move away from the stone.

Zhaofeng said, "What are you looking at?" Bai Xiaoyang said: "No wonder Wan Zuzu sleeps on this rock every night. Maybe this rock is really a treasure." Zhaofeng hummed, and went up to look at it, but didn't see any tricks, so he said, "Isn't it just an ordinary pebble?" Bai Xiaoyang shook his head, continued to stroke the cobblestone with his hands, and said, "This is by no means an ordinary stone. I feel something." Bai Xiaoyang took a deep breath while talking, and closed his eyes gently, as if sensing something. Zhaofeng became more and more strange.

At this time, Bai Xiaoyang's hand that had been stroking the stone stopped moving, and her slightly closed eyelids were beating slightly, as if she had indeed sensed something. At this moment, Zhang Ziheng coughed outside.Bai Xiaoyang's eyes opened leisurely at the sound of Zhang Ziheng's coughing. Zhaofeng looked at Bai Xiaoyang with strange eyes. Bai Xiaoyang looked at Zhaofeng and said, "Wan Zuzu really never told you what is special about this stone?" Zhaofeng said: "I really didn't tell me that there was anything special about this rock, but when I rescued him from the rebels and hid him, he always said that he could only sleep by resting on this rock, I moved it for him. I said the stone was too heavy and round and not easy to move, so he didn't say anything else. He just said don't throw this stone away and keep it safe until he has such a day When he can see the light of day again, he still wants to sleep with this stone on his pillow. He only said that it is a good stone, and he sleeps on this stone every day, which refreshes his mind and eyesight and is very comfortable. I am used to sleeping on this stone for a long time, and I have developed a habit."

Bai Xiaoyang shook his head and said, "Uncle Zhaofeng, Wan Zuzu is definitely not as simple as sleeping on this rock. Maybe he didn't tell you the truth." Zhao Feng said: "No way? You Wan Zuzu won't even trust me, can you? If so, I'll be really angry with you Wan Zuzu! I'm his closed disciple! Hehe... " Bai Xiaoyang smiled and said, "Don't you know that Wanzuzu's city is very deep?" Zhaofeng said: "That's true. Even if I study with him for the rest of my life, I still can't reach his level. Maybe it's because I don't have enough qualifications. Hehe..." Bai Xiaoyang smiled again. Zhaofeng said again: "By the way, just now you closed your eyes so fascinated, are you sensing something through this stone?" Bai Xiaoyang looked at Zhaofeng and said, "I can't help but enter a state of meditation, but I feel like a wall is blocking me, and I can't get in." Zhaofeng said, "It's not as amazing as you said, is it? I'll try." So he also put his hands on the stone, closed his eyes, opened them again after a while, and said, "Why is my mind blank? The stone is still a stone, and I am still me, but the stone is cool and feels comfortable to the touch. " Bai Xiaoyang said, "Maybe I'm just thinking wildly." But Zhaofeng became serious and said: "No. What you said today really reminded me that if it was really an ordinary stone, you Wan Zuzu would not look at it like a treasure. No wonder, every now and then he would pretend to be a stone. Intentionally or unintentionally, you asked me about this stone. It seems that you, Wan Zuzu, really didn't tell me the truth." Bai Xiaoyang said: "When I go to see Wan Zuzu later, I will ask him for you, and I will understand." Zhaofeng said: "Don't ask. You Wan Zuzu didn't want to tell others, and it's useless to ask. But today you said that, this stone has really become a burden in my heart. I really can't take this stone lightly." Bai Xiaoyang said: "Look, so you know what Wan Zuzu said you should know, and you don't know what you shouldn't know, which makes sense." Zhaofeng laughed and said, "Little Yangzi, it's outrageous. How dare you teach your Uncle Zhaofeng a decent lesson!" Bai Xiaoyang blushed slightly and said, "Uncle Zhaofeng, that's not what I meant." Zhaofeng laughed and said: "Uncle Zhaofeng is teasing you. You see, when you smile, I feel half relieved. Okay, I'll go and cook wild vegetable porridge for you. You may not have eaten it for a long time. You must have eaten the wild vegetable porridge I made. The conditions are not good, and Uncle Zhaofeng can only treat my little Yangzi with wild vegetable porridge. Hehe..." Bai Xiaoyang said, "Uncle Zhaofeng, let me help you cook the pot and light the fire." Zhaofeng said: "Find a stool to sit and rest. You can't touch raw water now. If you really suffer from some kind of disease, your godfather will hate me if you don't scold me. Hehe ..." Zhaofeng said and walked out of the room.
