That little fly

"Brother Ah Zhao, what's that?" The nap time, which was supposed to be taken, was diverted by the drumming outside.

"Calling from the juggling troupe." Ji Zhao knew it, Luzi's eyes lit up when he heard the juggling troupe.

This kind of relatively large juggling troupe will set up a theater building in the city every time it travels, but in order to let more people know, there will be such a Huagu troupe going around the streets every day to promote and perform at a fixed time. Fixed location, all at night.The timing was too unfortunate, even if the water was clear and shallow and he wanted to see it, he knew that he would definitely not be able to see it.

"Brother Ah Zhao, let's go and have a look now, shall we?"

"There's no one performing right now."

"But..." Shui Qingqian's disappointment hung on his face, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Such a heron made Ji Zhao feel distressed.He understood that Luzi would not be able to go out at night if Cheng Jing hadn't brought him along.But can his father bring his illegitimate son with him in a fair and open manner?Don't even think about it, his father was so confused that he didn't send a valet to his son. If he hadn't been on vacation today, if he hadn't met Luzi by chance on the street, how dangerous it would be!Fortunately, he even specially sent someone to greet them, otherwise Luzi had been away for so long, with only a dog by his side, I am afraid that Uncle Cheng would not have known about it?However, even though Ji Zhao was dissatisfied in every possible way, he had no position to tell the Cheng family what to do. He could only do his best to make him happy, and even happier.

Ji Zhao didn't speak any more, and asked Xiaoshu to hire a car outside. From here to the north of the city, it's not close to walk with bare feet.Two quarters of an hour later, Shui Qingqian and Ji Zhao got into the carriage, Wei Wu jumped into the carriage lightly, and lay quietly on the pedals.

"It's a very good hunting dog." Ji Zhao looked at the mighty. This purebred hunting dog is really good. The dog is very smart. This one is especially clever and not noisy. It is very well trained.

"He grew up with me, he is my younger brother." Shui Qingqian showed off proudly.

Ji Zhao was choked, coughed for a long time, hugged Luzi and put him on his lap to criticize severely, "An animal is an animal, you are not allowed to say such ridiculous things in the future." If the dog is Luzi's younger brother, what has he become?What happened to his parents?

The water is clear and shallow, and the flat mouth is unhappy.There is no way, he knows that many people raise dogs as livestock to guard their homes.But his family is not mighty.Wei Wu grew up with him, his father said that Wei Wu is a member of their family, he is his younger brother, Wei Wu is not an animal.

Shui Qingqian was awkward for a while, and in a blink of an eye he was distracted by all kinds of yelling outside, sitting on Ji Zhao's lap, holding the window of the carriage, and asked, "Brother Azhao, what is this?" Brother Ah Zhao, what is that'.Xiao Shu, Ji Zhao's personal attendant, went shopping all the way down there, and bought everything that Master Luzi was interested in.

Soon they arrived at the vaudeville station, the daytime vaudeville, which felt dirty, messy and poor.That's right, it's the same as the troupe, it's learned by poor kids to entertain the rich.When watching juggling at night, the theater building is brightly lit, and all kinds of magical and dazzling programs flicker and psychedelic in the firelight and darkness, but when they are really brought into the sun, they are like old quilts with torn cotton wool. Covering the face with cloth can't hide the old atmosphere.These dilapidated and cruel realities did not exist before Shui Qingqian saw the juggling troupe in the sun for the first time.

"Luzi." Ji Zhao hugged the pale-faced Luzi in his arms, feeling a little regretful.

In front of them, there was a six or seven-year-old girl, thin and small. After practicing, she bent down, bent down to the bottom, then picked up a flower on the side of her heel with her mouth, and then got up and came back. Nothing can support the process.As long as you think about it, you will feel that the difficulty is simply unimaginable, and the implied balance training skills are enough to instantly kill all marines.If it is on the stage at night, this unique skill will definitely win the applause of the whole house, and Luzi will also be among the applause.

Unfortunately, it is daytime.

Therefore, in addition to this unbelievable unique skill, Shui Qingqian also saw the little sister's bony body and the streaks of blood on her calf, because every time she wobbled unsteadily, her master would mercilessly slap her with a rattan weave. on her calf.

Of course Ji Zhao knew that the juggling troupe was far less glamorous than it looked.But the suffering in his cognition and the suffering he saw with his own eyes are in the sky and on the earth. If he had known this, he would never have brought Luzi here to open his eyes.When the whip hit the little girl just now, Ji Zhao clearly felt that Lu Zi was also shivered by the fright.

"Let's go over there." Ji Zhao forcefully dragged Luzi away.

Unfortunately, there is a beast tamer.

Taming animals is more cruel than taming people.

Most of them are common cats, dogs, and monkeys, but the stars are all kinds of weird animals, all brought back from long-distance cargo ships.Rare things are valuable, and living things are the same.Although these things may be as common as pheasants and wild horses in foreign domains, you can get a group of them with a cup and water bowl, but in Dongzhou, these things are valuable. It can be sold at a high price.

Animal taming is to make wild animals obey orders.Therefore, when they choose not to obey orders, the animal trainers must use some means.The method is simple and brutal, so that the animals suffer to the bone, remember the lesson well, and then become obedient.

A scene like this, with the roars, screams, and blood of various animals... is not suitable for children of Luzi's age to watch.But Shui Qingqian accidentally ran into it. Under the sun, he clearly saw the old scars on the elephant, the sparse hair and pink tender meat on the tiger's paws, and the depressed bear. The familiar animals struggled under the whips and sticks with scars all over their bodies but struggled unyieldingly, resisting tenaciously, even at the risk of death.

It was a very small one, about the size of an ordinary civet cat.It has thick fur and looks chubby, and it should be quite naive.It's clear that Sideshow wanted it to be cute, but it keeps being 'fierce'.There were bloodstains all over its body, and its fur was gray and dull.Now it is not only no longer cute, but also no longer beautiful, and it will die if it goes on like this.Failed to tame, die under the rod; or die by the law of elimination of 'no value'.

Hearing the little beast's sharp struggling and roaring, Shui Qingqian couldn't stop his nose from getting sore and his eyes burning. "Brother Ah Zhao..."

"Don't look, Luzi, don't look. Brother Azhao is here, don't be afraid, we are not afraid." Ji Zhao hugged Shui Qingqian tightly, protecting his head with his hands, and didn't want Luzi to see the bloody scene over there. It will frighten Luzi, so take him out of here as soon as possible.

The water is clear but a little hesitant.

Xiaoshu is a clever follower, and before Ji Zhao understood what Luzi meant, he had already rushed over, "Stop!"

Xiao Shu is the most excellent follower, so he observes his words, observes his actions, acts like a fool, and fights against others... These skills are all top-notch. He said arrogantly, "My young master has his eyes on him."

Naturally, Ji Zhao's demeanor of being either rich or noble and Shui Qingqian's pretty face like a fairy child made the person in charge of the juggling troupe not so stupid as to offend such a rich young master.Then again, presumably this rich young master wouldn't care about such a small amount of money, would he?

The person in charge of the juggling troupe came over with a smile on his face, "My lord, it's easy to talk about, everything is easy to talk about... You see, this little thing cost me a lot of money..."

"Really?" Xiao Shu snorted, interrupting the head of the juggling troupe's arrogance. He casually took out a shiny gold ingot from his sleeve pocket, and it shone in the sun, making the head of the juggling troupe dizzy. Xiaoshu tossed the gold ingots nonchalantly, and said slowly, "How much did you pay for it?"

This little thing is the cat and dog of the foreign domain, how much is it worth?At the beginning, the group leader bought it from a gambler, Shui, for fifty cents.

The group leader stared at the gold ingot without blinking his eyes: "Two, twenty..."

"Take it." Xiaoshu tossed the gold ingot, he knew that this person was not telling the truth, but this little gadget was given by his master as a gift to Young Master Luzi, the more expensive the better, understand?

The little animal was driven into a bamboo cage, and it still looked irritable and ferocious inside, guarding against everything. It was clearly at the end of its strength, but it seemed that as long as it had a little strength, it would not give up fighting. It was a very proud animal.This was Ji Zhao's idea.This animal has sharp canine teeth, and it looks like it is carnivorous. The gap in the bamboo cage is so wide that it can't get out, but it's enough to stretch out its claws to scratch it. Ji Zhao is really worried about letting Luzi hold it.

Shui Qingqian squatted down and watched it, and kept watching it. After a while, the little beast might not feel threatened, and gradually calmed down. Shui Qingqian slowly stretched out his hand to let it watch, and then he tried Touching the outside of the cage, it didn't have fried hair.Qingshui touched it like this for a while, then slowly lifted the cage, put it on his arms and hugged it to his chest, it was always quiet.

This scene was very surprising, even the beast trainers found it a bit inconceivable, Ji Zhao stared at Luzi, this, is this also Fei Tian'er's power?

It's not that mysterious. Children seem to have a natural aura that allows them to get close to animals in a harmonious way. It's not clear why.Luzi hugged the unknown animal and returned to the carriage with Ji Zhao, "Mom said that animals have feelings. If you treat them well, they will know. Daddy said that animals know how to repay favors better than humans." , they are our friends."

Ji Zhao looked at Luzi's big watery eyes looking at himself. Suddenly, he felt as if he could understand the mood of the trapped beast. Under such clear, clean and emotional gaze, the stone would also soften. Bar.

Shui Qingqian opened the cage carefully, the animal did not escape, it was already exhausted, so once it relaxed, it would not be able to gather the strength to resist again.Shui Qingqian carefully avoided those wounds, and gently stroked its back, "Brother Azhao, I don't want to watch juggling anymore."

Ji Zhao didn't expect that this was Luzi's last words to him besides "Brother Azhao goodbye".He didn't expect that Luzi was not Cheng Jing's child, nor did he live in this place.Later, Ji Zhao himself left Qiangang because of family reasons, and never had the chance to return here in his lifetime.Therefore, for a long time afterwards, Ji Zhao kept thinking about this day, and even regretted whether he had really done something stupid.If he had done what Xiao Shu suggested...

At the moment, Ji Zhao didn't know that they might see each other forever after parting, so seeing the sun setting, Ji Zhao sent Luzi back to Cheng's residence.On the way back, Luzi leaned against Ji Zhao and fell asleep.So it was Ji Zhao holding Luzi, and Luzi holding his new pet, and sending them to Cheng Jing's arms together.Shui Qingqian only had time to say "goodbye, brother" in a daze, and then fell asleep again.

Then, there are the piles of purchased loot.

It can be seen that Ji Zhao really treats Shui Qingqian very well, and Cheng Jing is also very grateful.Today, Luzi ran out after leaving a note, which frightened the owner and his wife. Thanks to the timely news from Ji Zhao.This kid is too bold.There are people coming and going at the port, if you encounter a kidnapper...

"Luzi is very good, he..." It is worth cultivating him as your successor.

It would be too offensive to say this, so Ji Zhao could only swallow it.He didn't even have the position to suggest that Cheng Jing should give Luzi more servants, so how could he dictate the big issue of the succession of other people's family, after all, it was their family's business.If you were in the royal family, you would not be able to call for injustice if you meddled with the establishment of the reserve at will.

"Today is also a coincidence. I happened to be on vacation... so I happened to meet me. Otherwise, he was a child, and he brought a dog, and he didn't even have a valet. It would be too dangerous to go out on the street casually." Ji Zhao You can only express your dissatisfaction in this side-by-side way. "It's close to the pier. He ran quite a distance. I hope Mr. Cheng will pay more attention to it in the future."

Cheng Jing humbly agreed, one thought after another passed in his mind: Luzi is just being naughty, if you hadn't been meddlesome, maybe Luzi would have gone back a long time ago... Well, quite bold and careful , I also know that I brought a hound with me when I went out... I have to send the child back quickly, his parents are dying of anxiety...

Seeing Cheng Jing's absent-mindedness, Ji Zhao held back his anger and left angrily.

The young master was in a bad mood, and Xiao Shu could see it, because Xiao Shu could see what was wrong, so the clever Xiao Shu suggested, "Master, how about we invite Master Luzi to live here?"

"Ok?"

"Looking at this, Master Luzi is not valued at all in the Cheng family, and he probably won't have a very good life. Let me tell you, master, the servants in the mansion gate are good at stepping down. If you do it again in the future If the mistress enters the door, the situation of Master Luzi may be even worse. Master, you are worried here because you are in a hurry. Why don't you just talk to them directly, and ask Cheng's family to send a concubine who is not valued Go to the mansion to raise..."

When Ji Zhao understood Xiao Shu's suggestion, his face darkened, "Shut up!" The gaze shot at Xiao Shu was like a sharp knife, and Xiao Shu's legs went limp in shock.

If he asked Cheng's mansion to send people to his mansion to raise him, what would he think of Lu Zi?Even if Ji Zhao didn't mean that, others would misunderstand that.A certain way of playing is secretly popular among the top dignitaries of the imperial capital. It belongs to the extreme gorgeousness in low-key, and the reckless behavior in power, which is not something ordinary people can afford.Ji Zhao's status allowed him to play this game, and it had to be said that with Luzi's appearance alone, he would be peerless when he grew up.But what is Luzi's identity?Even if in the end he couldn't accept the inheritance, it was also Fei Tian'er's bloodline, a noble bloodline, although, in fact, he was just an unknown illegitimate child without a mother and without his father's attention.

If Ji Zhao's self-control ability was a little weaker, if Ji Zhao's character was a little softer... maybe, he would really be abducted into a lawless playboy.There is a saying that three years old sees old, and there is an allusion that Meng Mu moves three times.Tracing back to the source, it's really hard to tell when a person's character was formed.Ji Zhao's mother passed away when he was very young. As a child without a mother, no matter how rich he is in food and clothing, surrounded by servants, he still has a lot of bitterness in his heart.In this world, not only a big stick is called a threat, but it is as sharp as killing and destroying people.

Just like Xiaoshu, Xiaoshu is a clever boy, as a follower, he is smart and flexible, which are all advantages.When Ji Zhao was less than seven years old, Xiao Shu followed him, and there was no need to doubt his loyalty, but being too clever was tantamount to being clever, especially since Xiao Shu didn't read much and didn't know much.He was loyal and dedicated to making his master live comfortably and properly, but he didn't realize that some things were taboo, and once the "Pandora's box" was opened, it meant degradation and destruction.

If her mother was still alive, she would definitely not choose a young boy who is too hardworking for Ji Zhao, she would definitely choose a few honest and responsible children for Ji Zhao to be servants, because the most important thing in the early stage of Xiaoshu's growth is that he is most afraid of being caught by some insects. Ant corrosion.From this point of view, Xiaoshu is really not a suitable follower.However, Ji Zhao has never been led astray. He seems to be born with restraint, rigor, perseverance, and a certain amount of advance and retreat. He seems to know what he should do and what he should not do, what is good and what is bad—although, with him status, even if he did something defined as 'bad', it was nothing more than a small mistake that could be smoothed over lightly.

Ji Zhao's anger frightened Xiaoshu into fighting, and in the end Ji Zhao just sighed.In his capacity, what would he do to embarrass a servant?Xiao Shu, actually doesn’t understand anything.

Ji Zhao glanced at Cheng's mansion from afar.

Do you like Heron?There is no doubt about it.Little Luzi seems to have all the good qualities, and it's not surprising that he likes such a little baby.Ji Zhao is 14 years old this year, which can be regarded as the age of first love. However, it is too unreliable to say that he fell in love in just a few days.Many people live to the age of 60, and they don't necessarily know what love is.Ji Zhao just thinks that Luzi is very cute. He is smart, beautiful, considerate, and sensitive. He is cunning and kind, self-willed and considerate. He is talented and talented... He may be a little flying sky.

"Every Dongzhou person has a dream of flying in the sky."

Ji Zhao met such a lively little heron when he was 14 years old, how could he not like him?

But they are too young, and the long time in the future may allow the feelings to settle and become more mellow and strong;

But maybe, time will make the feelings slowly fade and gradually dissipate.

In the future, who can say for sure?
