Only this green, not disappointing the spring

"That wolf has now been renamed Black Wind Demon. You can't just call him a general in the capital. It turns out that I have raised him for you for so long in vain. How do you sisters plan to repay me?"

Uh, Zhou Xiaoxi never thought that the person her elder brother was talking about was the person in front of her!

Zhou Xiaonan rolled his eyes and said with a smile:

"Uh, sir, we don't seem to know how to address you yet. You must have a very good relationship with my sister's eldest brother, otherwise you wouldn't have agreed to help him raise General Black, oh no, Black Wind Demon."

Xuanyuan Yan paused. He had always thought that Madam Shangguan had already told them her identity. He looked carefully at the girl's expression and it did not seem like she was pretending.

After hesitating for a moment, he said:

"My last name is Yuan. Little girl, don't change the subject. How are you going to repay me?"

Zhou Xiaonan couldn't help but pout, thinking that this person was really fussy.

"Mr. Yuan, you also said that it was my sister's eldest brother who asked you to raise the Black Wind Demon, so you should go find him!"

Xuanyuan Yan: ...

Why did he bother with such a little girl? This place was really weird. It was easy to let down one's guard. He almost didn't recognize himself anymore!

Guard A: Master, you just discovered it?

There are a total of 18 villages along the official road, and the county town divides them into two in the middle. Today, the group is going to the villages on the north side of the county town, and the last one is Huaihua Village.

Village head Dong had heard from others that the county magistrate was inspecting the villages near the official road and had been waiting at the village entrance early.

In recent years, the village has no other income except relying on the food given by God. The whole village has no meat all year round, and every household is extremely poor.

Zhou Jun, who used to be the most promising one, is now dragged down by his father and has lost the glory he had when he first returned to the village.

Therefore, Village Chief Dong urgently needs the help of the county magistrate so that their Huaihua Village can have a chance to get rid of poverty and become rich.

Seeing a group of people from a distance, he immediately trotted forward and knelt on the ground with a plop. Although the driver had seen the people coming, he did not expect the other party to kneel down so suddenly.

The horse was a little frightened, and the servant pulled the reins hard, making several "whoos" sounds before the carriage stopped.

Magistrate Zou, who was sitting in the carriage, came out holding his aching head. Just as he was about to scold the driver, he saw several people kneeling in front of him.

"Mr. Dong, the village chief? You are old, so walk slower. What if the horse steps on you?"

Elder Dong blushed with shame. He had done something wrong. He had originally wanted to greet him early to show respect, but who would have thought that it would end up in such an awkward situation.

Zhou Xiaoxi felt sorry for Donkey Xiaohua for having to walk such a long distance, so he got into the carriage a long time ago and therefore did not see this scene.

When they entered Huaihua Village, they were greeted by a sense of desolation.

County Magistrate Zou's brows had been furrowed since he met Village Chief Dong. He couldn't help but ask:

"Old village chief, yours is the last village we have come this far. We all live the same life, why does your village look the most dilapidated?

Let alone the houses, the roads are dirty and messy everywhere, and even the fields are overgrown with weeds. If you can't take good care of the food supply, how can you expect to live a good life?!"

Village Chief Dong had a layer of cold sweat on his forehead and was very upset. He had clearly told the villagers long ago that Zhou Fu and Zhou Hu brothers really deserved to be punished!

What County Magistrate Zou disliked was the land owned by Zhou Fu and Zhou Hu. Now, one of the two brothers was lame and the other was blind in one eye. They had long lost their energy and spirit and spent their days at home just eating and waiting to die.

Their sons are also heartless. Their father is a mess and doesn't know how to help them. The whole family is confused. It makes me upset just thinking about it!

Zhou Xiaoxi and Zhou Xiaonan did not follow the others, but went to their previous home. Fu Qiuyang was worried and followed them.

The two sisters looked at the dilapidated door. The talismans pasted on the door were reduced to just some scraps of paper under the wind and sun.

Zhou Xiaonan said with red eyes:

"Sister, how did our home become like this?"

Zhou Xiaoxi held her sister's hand tightly and comforted her:

"An unoccupied house will easily fall into disrepair. This is no longer our home, so don't be sad.

Xiaonan, do you want to go in and take a look? We probably won't be coming back again, so let's say goodbye properly this time."

Zhou Xiaonan nodded vigorously, and the two sisters found a key from a gap next to the door and opened the door lock as if they were familiar with it.

Fu Qiuyang raised his eyebrows. The place where the key was hidden was really hidden!

Donkey Xiaohua was probably tired, so he just lay down at the gate to rest. Zhou Xiaoxi knew that he would not run around, so he did not care.

As expected, the yard was full of weeds, and the mice that had made this place their home immediately ran away when they heard the noise.

In less than a year, the house had been abandoned to the point that a strong wind turned it into ruins.

Zhou Xiaonan asked in confusion:

"Sister, isn't our father back? It would be fine if he doesn't live here, but why don't you clean up?"

Zhou Xiaoxi snorted coldly. There were rumors that there were evil spirits in this house. How could her cheap father come back? I'm afraid he wouldn't even want to get close to it?

The funny thing is, all this happened because of him!

Fu Qiuyang had only heard a little about what happened to Zhou Xiaoxi's family, and was not very clear about it. But looking at the expressions of the two sisters, he knew that they must have experienced something very bad.

Some said with great regret:

"You two are such idiots. If this village is so hated, why didn't you tell us at the time? We could have just not come here. The county magistrate would definitely not object. Why do you have to put yourself in such a difficult position? They don't deserve it!"

The mood that was originally a little heavy suddenly became much brighter after Fu Qiuyang's violent attack.

Zhou Xiaoxi couldn't help but teased:

"Brother Fu, there's a rumor in the village that there's an evil ghost in this house. Aren't you afraid?"

"Tsk! Is that evil ghost living in their hearts? They always resort to these evil ways. No wonder they are so poor!"

Zhou Xiaonan said happily:

"Brother Fu, you are the best! If you are not feeling well one day, I will definitely treat you well and I won't charge you for the consultation."

Fu Qiuyang: "Can you, little brat, hope for something good from me? Ah?! I'll beat you to death!"

As they spoke, Zhou Xiaonan pretended to hit them with a fan, and ran around the yard with a smile. Soon, the weeds were trampled out by the two of them, and the whole house became lively.

Suddenly, there was a shouting sound outside the door. The three of them immediately became quiet and all looked outside.

Donkey Xiaohua also ran to Zhou Xiaoxi's side, sniffing in annoyance. Zhou Xiaoxi grabbed a handful of fragrant fried soybeans from his bag and handed them to him, letting him eat them from his palm.

Perhaps because he had eaten his favorite food, Donkey Xiaohua quickly calmed down and wagged his tail happily.

Fu Qiuyang laughed as he watched from the side. How come he remembered that these beans were the snacks that the girl ate herself?
