, "唰唰唰唰" a few times to cut out a shape, it turned out to be a wooden sword to give to children.

"Zisu, I didn't expect you to do this."

"Don't you really think I'm an embroidered pillow? I have a pair of younger siblings in my family, and I have to know a little about any gadgets to amuse them. When I was young, Xiaoxiao liked the wooden chipper I gave her the most. Oooh. Yeer likes me to play with him in the mud the most. Even if the dolls I make are still as ugly as when I was a child, Xiaoxiao still likes my dolls the most, no matter how good others make them, she won’t want them.” Zisu paused for a while, as if he was waiting for an answer, or as if he was tired and needed a rest, "Every time I look at them, I think, how much God has cared for me to send such a pair of siblings."

Rao Zisu's inadvertent smile was always beautiful.

"I didn't expect you to be so happy." Before Fu Lin came here, he had seen many sorrows of children who were not his own, but the kindness of Rao Qing and his wife gave Zisu a healthy growth.

"Eh? Didn't expect anything? In fact, the last thing I expected was that I could live to this age in good health. In my memory, I was drinking medicine all the time. The doctor said that I was congenitally deficient. I won’t live long. If it weren’t for the careful care of my mother and Xiaoxiao, I would have been lying on the bed long ago, being a sick and useless person. Beating my mother hurts me, and I am not allowed to do this or that. Everything is done by Xiaoxiao and Xiaoxiao. Ye Er went to do it, and sometimes I think about it, as the eldest brother, I have never done anything for them, so I am really negligent of my duty."

They never blamed him, though.

"Zisu, what you can do for them is to live a good life and stop worrying them. I believe this is also Aunt Mu's greatest wish." Fu Lin wanted to help make wooden swords, but Rao Zisu refused, he liked to do it What he can do, otherwise he will feel that he is a useless person.

"A few days ago, you asked me to teach the boys to practice boxing, and today you asked Lan Zhimo to teach them how to play swords. Children in the mountains, what is the purpose of teaching them martial arts? It is not very useful." Although he is willing to play with the children, after all Living for free is not good after all.At first, Fu Purlin wanted to teach the children some simple things that could strengthen their bodies, but Rao Zisu rejected them, and he insisted on teaching them martial arts.

"To prevent bullies." Zisu stood up, looking at the wooden sword in his hand with satisfaction, it still looks good, "Our place is remote, far away from the capital, and the local government is corrupt. Those of us who were born in peasant households, If you go out on the street, you will be bullied with various charges, or you will find a reason to charge fees. I hope my students go out, even if they can’t beat them, they can deal with it well, so that no one will be bullied for nothing.”

Rao Zisu stared at the remaining materials on the ground for a while, then weighed the dagger in his hand, thinking that maybe he could make a small wooden knife for them, so he continued to work.Fu Purlin was waiting for Zisu, chatting casually, and said silently in his heart, "Zisu, you are so pretty."

After Zisu completed the wooden sword, Lan Zhimo was still earnestly teaching the children how to practice swords. Although each of them only held branches, they did not relax and never tired of it.Zisu felt very comforted in his heart, so he put the wooden sword and knife aside, and lay down under the woods to bask in the sun with peace of mind.The spots of sunlight passing through the leaves just happened to be printed on Zisu's body, neither hot nor cold, neither warm nor hot, Zisu covered his eyes with his hands, and decided to take a nap.

Fu Purlin really had nothing to do with Zisu. After Zisu fell asleep, he picked up the wooden sword and knife at the side and carefully groomed it.What is a sword without a sharp edge? Since it is a tool for protection, it must have a sharp edge.Before the sun set, Fu Lin woke up Zisu to go back, and then gave the long sword to Lan Zhimo, asking her to give it to the best child in school.Lan Zhimo didn't expect Rao Zisu to have such a skill. After weighing it carefully for a while, he smiled and gave it to Xiaoya, and finally touched her head to express his encouragement.

After the children had left, Zisu asked Lan Zhimo about his doubts, "Even a layman like me can see that Bao'er learned better, so why did I give it to Xiaoya?"

"I can teach students, so I can send them to whoever I want." Lan Zhimo turned her head arrogantly, she just liked Xiaoya more.

Zisu took out the wooden knife in his hand, originally intending to give it to Xiaoxiao, but it seems that this time it won't work, "That kid Bao'er is the most unyielding, and fortunately he plays well with Xiaoya, otherwise he would have started a fight Now, this knife, Fu Lin, you can give it to Bao'er for me, he is closest to you."

"Open your eyes and talk nonsense, where did he kiss me? He said 'bad brother' every time. I really don't know how I provoked him when I was asleep." Fu Lin put away the wooden knife and walked towards Bao'er's house. Another place to dine tonight.

After dinner, wait until the dead of night.Everyone in Rao's family had already fallen asleep, Zisu also turned off the lights after reading the poems written by the children.He thought of these friends from the rivers and lakes who suddenly appeared, and he didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune.

"Young master, everything is fine with him. It seems that they are not ready to do anything yet. However, Lan Zhimo of Shiyue Sect has been following Mr. Rao recently. Do you need me to deal with it?"

"No need, you are not her opponent. Her goal is me. She won't do anything to Rao Zisu. People in the imperial court are a big hidden danger. Keep watching."

After Wu Ming answered "yes", Gu Li disappeared, as if he had never appeared before.Although Wu Ming really wanted to know why his young master protected Rao Zisu like this, but he was just a subordinate who knew what to ask and what not to ask.All he needs to do is to obey Gu Li's orders absolutely, only then can he be worthy of the old master's rescue of their brothers and sisters.

After Gu Li disappeared, Wuming didn't even notice, a woman quietly appeared, and she seemed to be able to feel her excitement in the dark night, Lan Zhimo said in a trembling voice, "It's finally you, Gu Li."

Chapter 8

"I thought you wouldn't go to the appointment tonight, Gu Li." The man leisurely put down the tea in his hand, under his seemingly calm face, he exhaled annoyed at Gu Li's lateness, and said, "What do you want?" I've checked everything for you. How can you thank me this time, Gu Li, don't try to fool me again, I, Shen Yingchu, am not a vegetarian." Shen Yingchu smiled wickedly, looked at Gu Li's sword and said, "It seems There is still one pill left from the pill your father left you."

"Since Yingchu wants it, then I'll give it to Yingchu. I'm very happy for this kind of adult beauty." On the way here, Gu Li found Lan Zhimo following him. Later, Gu Li saw that Shen Yingchu was angry, so she followed his words, after all, it was he who asked for something.

"Gu Li, you must be crazy. For the sake of Rao Zisu, you even gave me such a precious thing. If your father knew, he would crawl out of the ground and kill you, you unworthy bastard." The pills are not only life-saving pills, but also the only relic left to him by Gu Li's father. Gu Li was seriously injured several times and his life was hanging by a thread, so he was reluctant to use it. Shen Yingchu looked at Gu Li with scrutiny. Spin around him a few times.

Gu Li actually voluntarily gave pills to Shen Yingchu for the sake of Rao Zisu. He became more and more curious about who this Rao Zisu was, "You are definitely not the Gu Li I know."

"Since I told you to give it to you, I will definitely give it to you. Are you still afraid that I will go back on my word?" After speaking, he pressed the switch on the hilt of the sword, and then slowly pushed out a small box, which contained exactly what Shen Yingchu wanted. , "Tell me about your investigation."

"The ancestors of the Su family were the great generals who founded the country and held the military power. After giving up the military power, the Su family gradually became stronger. They even began to threaten the imperial power. The old emperor would never allow the Su family to do whatever they wanted. Later, in order to avoid the old emperor's After killing everything, Rao Zisu's grandfather resigned and fled to Yangzhou to start a cloth business. Originally, the Su family might be able to save their lives, but the business became better and better, and it actually reached the point where it could affect the entire southern economy. The hidden dangers became bigger, and the old emperor felt more uneasy, so the old emperor arranged for someone to secretly sabotage the Su family's business. Rao Zisu's father, Su You, died in the fire, and his mother died of dystocia, leaving behind his only son. He was taken away by Bai Ran's personal maid and changed his name to Rao Zisu. As for why the old emperor keeps staring at Rao Zisu, it may be because he is afraid that the matter will be exposed and affect the face of the court." Shen Yingchu's brows were beaming with joy, and she couldn't help admiring herself. Such ingenuity, I am afraid that no one can do it.

"I've known this for a long time, Shen Yingchu, are you trying to annoy me on purpose?" Gu Li directly ignored Shen Yingchu's narcissism. He felt sad for being Shen Yingchu's childhood sweetheart more than once. I really don't know what Grandpa Shen thought of it at the beginning. He was the successor of the genius doctor, "What I want to know is, Rao Zisu's aunt, Su Wei's news, where is she, and why she can escape the emperor's pursuit."

"Speaking of Su Wei, she is another strange person. Back then, she was the most famous singing girl in Fengyuelou, which made many celebrities jealous of her. Of course, this was before I bought Fengyuelou. Got it." Gu Li suppressed his anger, and continued to listen to his show off. He knew Shen Yingchu's temper best, and when he himself felt bored, he stopped talking, "The young master of the Situ family had trouble with his family because of her. Flip, and almost eloped. The strange thing is, the day before they eloped, this Su Wei actually sold all her jewelry and donated them to beggars on the street, then destroyed her appearance and disappeared."

"So, this Su Wei is quite capable? Even Situ's family can't find her?"

"No, it's not that she is capable, it's Liu Ni."

"Who is Liu Ni?"
