Suddenly, Zilong's stomach growled at this time, and the atmosphere was suddenly embarrassing.

The maid sister didn't care, and said softly: "Little brother, you wait here, I'll go get you something to eat, but now the meal time has not arrived, you can only take two steamed buns, you will serve them first." I'll get you some delicious ones in the evening, and you'll have enough to eat and get out of the city." Zilong nodded violently, not knowing how to say words of gratitude. The maid walked towards the dining room.

Zilong heard her say in the dining room outside, "The maids are hungry, let me come and see if there is anything that can cushion the stomach first?" The two cooks seemed to be in awe of her, and hurriedly replied: "There is nothing to eat at this time. After speaking, he stuffed two steaming steamed buns into Zilong's hands.

Zilong took the steamed bun, and didn't know how to thank the maid sister.Only lowered his head and devoured it, and a warm current spread from Zilong's mouth to his throat, chest, and finally fell into his stomach.

The maid couldn't bear it, and regardless of the old mud on Zilong's face, she reached out to slowly wipe away her tears for him. Later, thanks to the kindness of this lord and wife, he left many hard-working children like me to be the housekeepers and maids in the family, so we have a way to live. Like me, I have been begging for food for four years, and I have traveled through countless states and counties, but I have not met any kind people to take me in! I thought that I still had some strength, so I wanted to go to those shops and workshops as an apprentice, but they all thought I was dirty and beat me out...... The more Zilong spoke, the more sad he became, and he ate a mouthful of steamed buns into his mouth, but he couldn't swallow it anymore, and he choked up.

The maid's sister hurriedly comforted him and said: "People should not be presumptuous, little brother, you are young, as long as you work hard, your future prospects are limitless!" Zilong heard this sentence of encouragement that no one had ever told him before, and he was in a good mood as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, so he smiled and said to the maid's sister: "Well, my sister is right, although I am very poor now, I may be able to make some achievements in the future! When the maid saw Zilong's cute appearance, she laughed heartily.

Suddenly hearing the sound of horses' hooves, the maid sister said: "It's the master who is back, I'm going out to greet the master.Little brother, you can stay here in peace.I'll come to see you again in the evening." Zilong suddenly thought of Uncle Zhu outside the city, and said, "Sister maid, I want to ask you for a favor, okay?"

The maid smiled, "I didn't expect you to be a little beggar and have a lot of things, let's say, what's the matter?"

Zilong took out the medicine he bought for Uncle Zhu and the remaining five taels of silver from his arms, and said, "Uncle Zhu was seriously injured for me, and now he is in the broken temple outside the South City Gate, and now I am in danger when I go out, sister, can you help me give him the medicine and silver?"

The maid looked at the sky and said, "Okay, it's still early, there's no problem, you just hide here first, don't trespass!"

Zilong agreed, the maid took the medicine, and Zilong instructed: "If Uncle Zhu asks me, don't say that I am being chased by officers and soldiers, I am afraid that he will be worried and will not be able to concentrate on recuperating from his injuries, so you can say that I have some urgent things to do, and I will go to see him when it is done." ”

The maid nodded and turned around and just left, when she heard Zilong whisper: "Sister maid, I don't know what your name is!" The listener's face suddenly turned red, turned around and smiled at Zilong, and replied shyly: "I'll tell you when I come back in the evening!" Zilong heard a happy "um", the maid looked around, saw that no one was paying attention, hurriedly walked a few steps, turned the corner of the corridor, and disappeared into Zilong's field of vision. Zilong saw that the maid sister had gone far away, so he found a dry place in the corner of the wall, and lay down tastelessly, wanting to sleep until the maid sister came to bring him food, wouldn't it be beautiful! He was already a beggar, how could he care about the filth of this firewood room.

Zilong never expected that the pile of dry firewood behind him would hide strange things. He leaned up like this, pressing on a dark red disc that was extremely difficult to find. The wall behind him suddenly made a muffled sound, and the mechanism turned, and a secret door appeared with a creak! Zilong was unexpected, lost his center of gravity for a while, and fell to the ground, and the pile of dry firewood was also pressed under him and scattered.

Zilong got up and looked down at this underground secret room dumbfounded, not knowing what was hidden inside, whether it was evil or auspicious, and his heart suddenly beat hard.

Torches suddenly lit up on the wall in the secret room, and Zilong thought: Such a high-level torch will be automatically lit? After slowly approaching, Zilong saw that this was originally a treasure room. Along the wall is a lattice made of rosewood, on which are scattered with all kinds of precious porcelain, jade, orbs and so on. Zilong thought to himself that the owner of this house had so many good things that were not placed on the main hall to show people, but they were all hidden in a dark corner all day long, accompanied by some dry wood and dust, wouldn't it be a tyrannical thing.

Zilong played with those treasures one by one, and was amazed, it was really an eye-opener, and when he saw the end all the way, it was a beige jade box. Zilong secretly thought that most of the jade of this color are jade in the lower grades, this room is full of rare and curiosities, think about this jade box although ordinary, the hidden things must not be simple, a moment of curiosity, reached out to take the jade box into his arms, carefully lifted the lid, there are two long swords inside, the scabbard is engraved with different lines, one is slightly larger, one is slightly smaller, the big sword body does not reach the hilt of the sword does not close but rises, the small one is just the opposite, the hilt is not half of the size of the ordinary see, the two swords put together, it looks very beautiful and strange.

Zilong heard that weapons are also divided into male and female, and he thought that this should be a double sword for male and female.

Zilong stretched out his right hand and rubbed it vigorously on his body, and then he opened a few pages very carefully, and saw that it was full of dense small characters, and there were also many pictures. As soon as Zilong had this thought, he suddenly heard footsteps outside the firewood room, and hurriedly closed the entrance to the secret room, held his breath, and listened attentively to the sound above. At this time, the door of the firewood room had been closed, and Zilong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This experience seems familiar, yes, Zilong's mind comes to mind a past incident four years ago: that year, Zilong was thirteen years old, and his eldest brother Zixiong was fifteen years old. The two brothers went to the market to steal meat so that their mother could eat it, and when they were discovered, the brothers ran away desperately, and the elder brother was afraid that his brother would be beaten, so he gave him the meat and hid him in a dog hole, and told him, "Whatever happens, don't come out," and the elder brother led the group somewhere else. At that time, Zilong's feeling in the dog cave was really exactly the same as now, and when his brother came back, his nose was blue and his face was swollen.

After returning home, I thought that my mother would be happy to see meat to eat, but how did I know that my mother was not only unhappy, but also didn't eat a bite of meat, Zilong knew that her mother didn't want her children to be thieves, and her mother said to them: "Good boys, we should stand up to the sky, although we are poor, but we must also be a bright and upright person!" This sentence has been seared in Zilong's heart, but just now, Zilong seemed to have forgotten his mother's teachings, and suddenly felt sorry for his mother, and Zilong was in tears at this time.

looked at the martial arts cheats that he was still holding in his hand. Although there was reluctance, it was put back in its place. Close the secret door of the secret room, thinking that after going out, maybe someone will come to get firewood, it's not safe, it's better to rest here until dark and then go out, so I leaned on the corner of the wall with peace of mind and fell asleep.

When he woke up, Zilong opened the secret door and stuck out his head to see that it was really dusk. Zilong drilled out and closed the secret door, anxiously waiting for the arrival of the maid's sister. After a while, the maid sister finally came.

She was also carrying a delicate food box in her hand, and when she opened it gently, it was immediately fragrant.

"Little brother, come and eat, here is half a roast goose, a few taels of sauce meat, not enough for my sister to get it again." Sister Maiden said to Zilong with a smile.

Zilong was also really hungry, and at this moment he had already regarded his sister as a relative, so he didn't need to be too polite, rolled up his sleeves, and chewed and swallowed.

While eating, he said, "Enough is enough, thank you sister, by the way, how is Uncle Zhu?"

The maid smiled and said, "I gave him all the medicine and silver, and brought him some food, and he is better now, and he keeps asking me about you, and I will tell him what you have said." ”

Zilong said: "Thank you, sister!" Thanks to my sister for helping me, I Xu Zilong owes my sister a favor, in order to repay my sister, my sister asked me to do anything!"

The maid smiled and said, "Okay, okay, my sister doesn't want you to repay her, I just hope that you will live well and help those in need when you have the ability." ”

Zilong: "Please rest assured, my sister's words, my brother will never forget it for the rest of his life." ”

After the full meal, the maid's sister said with concern: "Little brother, my sister is familiar with the road in the yard, and my sister will take you to the gate." Zilong suddenly felt sad in his heart, and cried: "Sister, I am really reluctant to leave you!"

The maid's sister was also very reluctant to give up Zilong, but she still persuaded her: "You forgot what you said to your sister, didn't you say that you want to make some achievements! Good man, you should be ambitious in all directions, and when you get ahead, your sister will follow to enjoy happiness!" Zilong wiped his tears and said: "Sister is right, you look like my mother!" Zilong found that the maid looked at him in surprise and hurriedly explained: "No, no, I mean that what you just said is very similar to what my mother once told me!"

The maid asked, "Do you miss your mother?"

Zilong said: "Well, but please rest assured, sister, I will turn my grief into strength, work hard, and get ahead!"

At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of a fight outside the house, and the sound of a woman's soft shouting was mixed between the collision of weapons.

The maid sister listened carefully, and said nervously: "It's the voice of the master and the lady!Little brother, you wait here first, sister, I'll go and see what happened." Seeing this, Zilong had to nod solemnly.

Not long after she went, Zilong heard a scream from the front, and it was the voice of the maid's sister! Zilong suddenly heard this sound, it was really like hearing thunder on a sunny day. Zilong's body trembled, and he couldn't stand still for a while and sat on the ground, and his chest suddenly felt a cramp, and he was really heartbroken.
