Early the next morning, Ning Yu, who was sitting on the horse and successfully exited the city gate with Zheng Xiujie, looked back at Feiyang City, which was getting farther and farther away from them, and pulled the hood on his head to cover his nostalgic sight.

The road ahead is winding and even a little rough, but this is his own choice, and he does not regret it.

Zheng Xiujie looked back at Ning Yu who was sitting in his arms, tightened the reins and let Ning Yu hold on to the saddle, he circled Ning Yu tightly, and the horse began to gallop.

With the whistling wind blowing past his ears, Ning Yu slowly stretched out his right hand that was holding the saddle.

The blast passed through his fingers, and the fingertips moved slightly, as if he touched the shape of freedom again.

They drove for a day, rested at a post station for a night, and continued on the road. On the third day, they returned to Feiyu City.

Ning Yu followed Zheng Xiujie to a small courtyard he rented in the city, and they planned to return to Baiyu Village early tomorrow morning.

"Third brother, can I trouble you to find someone for me when I go back to the village tomorrow?"

"who?"

"Her name is Hui Niang."

Then, Ning Yu told Zheng Xiujie how he and Hui Niang met. Zheng Xiujie nodded solemnly after hearing this, and promised to help him find Hui Niang when he returned to the village tomorrow.

"Third Brother, why don't you ask me why I must go back to Baiyu Village?"

"If you want to go back, I will accompany you. If you are willing to tell me the reason, I will be happy to know. If you don't want to tell me, I will not ask."

Ning Yu suddenly remembered that when they were in the Zheng family, they never asked him too much, they always respected him like this.

"Well, thank you, third brother."

This night, in the small courtyard rented by Zheng Xiujie, the two chatted until late, and because there was only one bed in the whole room, they could only squeeze together. On this cold night, the two slept with their clothes on, and talked a lot , did not fall asleep until late at night.

Zheng Xiujie was worried that Ning Yu would leave the Ning Mansion just like that, wouldn't Ning Ting keep looking for him like last time?

Ning Yu shook his head, he had written very clearly in the letter, he didn't leave in ignorance, but wanted to go out to experience some experience, he hoped that Ning Ting could stay with Shen Ruyan well and develop the Ning family's property well.

He told his brother not to look for him again, and one day when he figured it out, he would return to Ning Mansion again.

"But with just one letter, is it true that Mr. Ning won't look for you?"

"At first my brother definitely couldn't accept it, but as time goes by, when he gets married to Cousin Ruyan, over time, he will definitely let it go."

Over time, many things will slowly change.

Zheng Xiujie was not sure in his heart, but he had seen the scene where Ning Ting came to find Ning Yu.

But he didn't say it out. When he heard Ning Yu say that he still wanted to go to the north, he was a little surprised?

"Ning Yu, why do you want to go to the north? There is going to be a war there, so my eldest brother went there."

"I just want to go."

Of course, Zheng Xiuyuan went to the north, so he wanted to go.

When he left Ning Mansion, besides the money, he also had the little wooden figure that Zheng Xiuyuan gave him.

I don't know how Brother Zheng is doing now?

"Eldest brother hasn't written for a long time, and so is second brother, alas."

Zheng Xiujie sighed, feeling a little sad. The news coming from the north now is that the relationship between them and the Pingyue Kingdom is very tense, and war is imminent.

The eldest brother joined the army voluntarily. If a war breaks out, he doesn't know if he will be sent to the front line.

"Third Brother, don't worry, Eldest Brother has his own fortune, I believe that whatever happens to Eldest Brother, he will turn bad luck into good fortune."

"Well, I hope so too. Thank you Ning Yu."

"And the second brother, they should have started the big exam by now."

Zheng Xiujie estimated the days.

"Yes, the big exam will start in a few days, and the results will be announced in a month."

"Second brother will definitely get a good ranking."

Ning Yu was very firm in his belief that with Zheng Xiuran's talent, he would definitely not be able to beat him in the big exam in the capital.

"Ok!"

"Ning Yu, let me tell you about City Lord Fu Qing's expression when he ate preserved chili fruit for the first time, hahaha is very interesting."

"Yeah."

The two chatted until midnight, before Ning Yu fell asleep in a daze while talking, while Zheng Xiujie, who was lying next to him, quietly opened his eyes after closing his eyes and hearing Ning Yu's steady and orderly breathing.

He turned his head and looked, it was a side profile of a face with exquisite lines, he had secretly seen the side profile many times, and finally appeared in front of him again.

On those nights when he never received a reply, Zheng Xiujie even thought that he might never see Ning Yu again.

At first, he wanted to secretly go to Feiyang City to meet him, but his elder brother found out and stopped him.

"He has already gone back, why should we bother him."

Yes, in that case, they will only be embarrassed when they meet again.

Zheng Xiujie stared at Ning Yu's profile all night, since he saw him in Feiyang City last time, he has dreamed of Ning Yu's appearance every night.

It turned out that he had not forgotten them.

As soon as it was dawn, Ning Yu and Zheng Xiujie returned to Baiyu Village. Zheng Xiujie opened the door of the small courtyard. Ning Yu looked at the small courtyard where he had lived for several months. Although Zheng Xiujie often came back to clean it, it was very clean. Inhabited by people, it looks empty.

He went to the backyard and sat on the swing that Zheng Xiuyuan tied for him, full of thoughts.

The happy time here is like the things in the previous life.

But soon Ning Yu came back to his senses, he remembered that he came back to the village to do one thing.

At his request, Zheng Xiujie found a woman named Hui Niang from a family surnamed Zhu in the village. After seeing that woman, he knew Ning Yu very well, and was pleasantly surprised that he could meet her here. Ning Yu.

She still called her "benefactor" all the time.

Ning Yu chatted with her for a while, and suddenly asked about the orchard of the Zheng family that was confiscated by the head of the village.

Because of his elder brother, Zheng Xiujie was also disheartened when the village head Wang Ming confiscated the orchard and he didn't fight for it anymore. After moving to the city, he didn't care much about the village affairs.Their family's painstaking efforts for many years were taken by the head of the village just like that.

"Benefactor, the land of Zheng's orchard has already posted a notice that the village chief is going to rent it out, and it's posted under the big banyan tree at the head of the village."

"For rent? Who is he going to rent to?"

"Just give it to someone who can afford it. Zheng's orchard is precious, and no one in our village can take it up. I heard that the head of the village has been dealing with people from outside the village recently. It seems that he wants to rent it to people from outside the village."

"But that orchard belongs to the Zheng family, how could he!"

Zheng Xiujie said that the fruit trees inside belonged to the Zheng family, but the land belonged to the village. When Zheng Xiuyuan was still there, Wang Ming claimed that if the Zheng family had any dissatisfaction, he could cut down all the fruit trees and make it a wasteland. Confiscated again.

The boss and the third child didn't expect Wang Ming to be so despicable. How could they be willing to cut down the fruit trees they had planted so hard for so many years, so they could only give up.

Moreover, Wang Ming did not allow the Zheng family to re-lease, obviously deliberately targeting the Zheng family.

"He's just a village chief, how could he be so domineering, isn't he afraid..."

"Benefactor, a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake."

I heard that the last time the city lord of Feiyang City went to the Li Chang's house, he almost didn't buy it.

Ning Yu pondered for a while, and saw that Hui Niang looked at him as if she wanted to say something, and after asking, she found out that Hui Niang wanted Ning Yu to go to her house for dinner.

Ning Yu asked Zheng Xiujie with his eyes, and Zheng Xiujie nodded, remembering that he was familiar with that family when he went to find Hui Niang just now.

Ning Yu agreed.

Towards evening, Ning Yu and Zheng Xiujie went to Hui Niang's house, and Hui Niang introduced them to each other, her brother Zhu Li, sister-in-law Yan Fang, her benefactor Ning Yu, and the third child of the Zheng family from the same village.

Xiao Zhu had grown a lot taller, and when he saw Ning Yu, he ran over with surprise and hugged his thigh.

Ning Yu was also very happy to see Xiao Zhu. Seeing that he was healthy and healthy now, he smiled and patted his head.

Hui Niang's elder brother Zhu Li used to be a long-term worker in the Zheng family's orchard for a period of time, and he knew Zheng Xiujie. Hui Niang's sister-in-law was also a very simple woman. , There was already enough food on the table, there was no need to add more, it was almost too much to eat, so they sat down.

Everyone enjoyed the meal happily, with relaxed smiles on everyone's faces.

Ning Yu didn't expect Zheng Xiujie and Zhu Li to get along very well. Zhu Li was very skilled and motivated in Zheng's orchard, but a few years ago a relative in the next village asked him to help take care of their world, and the relative's family suffered a sudden change. After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't refuse, so he quit his job at Zheng's family and went to the next village, where he has been working since then.

It was because Hui Niang came back with Xiaozhu, and it happened to be Chinese New Year, and someone else was hired to do the field at the relative's house, so he returned to Baiyu Village now. Now that the New Year is almost over, he is also considering re- Find a way out.

However, just as there was a war in the north, the fortune was not good, and now people are in panic, and it is hard to find a job.

Speaking of Zheng's orchard, they talked about the head of the village, and Zhu Li bluntly said that he didn't have a good impression of the head of the village, Wang Ming.

He is in his 40s, and he knows very well how Wang Ming became the head of the village back then. It was because he married the daughter of the previous head of the village as his wife.

Later, Fa's wife gave birth to a daughter for him and died of illness, but he remarried soon after, making people wonder how Wang Dafu's mother died.

Hearing this, Ning Yu suddenly asked: "Brother Zhu, do you still intend to work in the orchard?"

"Little brother, to tell you the truth, I really want to continue working in the Zheng family's orchard, but now I'm powerless..."

Zhu Li didn't finish his sentence, everyone knew what he meant.

The Zheng family's orchard had already been confiscated by the head of the village, and they had started renting it out. Recently, several strange faces appeared in the village, all of whom came to see the land.

"I heard that as long as the bid is the highest, he will rent it to whoever. He also said that it is fine not to build an orchard. He is greedy for money and has a dark heart. It is true."

Zhu Li began to spurn Wang Ming, the head of the village, Ning Yu suddenly had a flash of inspiration when he heard the words, and had an idea.

"Huiniang, I need your help with something."

"You tell me, my benefactor."

"Tomorrow, please go to the Li Chang's house and say..."

Under the candlelight, the silhouettes of several people in the room were reflected on the windows, discussing something in detail.

The next day, Zhu Hui came alone to the door of Wang Ming's house at the entrance of the village, and knocked on the wooden door.

Almost everyone in Baiyu Village knew about Zhu Hui's return from Anping City, and Wang Ming was no stranger to her. Everyone swelled up.

Zhu Hui entered the main room of the Li Chang's family, and without beating around the bush after greeting her, she said straight to the point: "Li Chang, there is a nobleman who wants the Zheng family's land, and he is willing to pay double the price. Let me ask you about it." Is the land rented out now?"

When Wang Ming heard this, he was very happy, and immediately said that the orchard of Zheng's family was still there, and we could still talk about it, so he hurriedly asked Zhu Hui's name and background?

Zhu Hui didn't answer directly, and asked Wang Ming to prepare the land deed, and the nobleman would come to visit in the afternoon.

"Okay, okay, then I'll be waiting for your nobleman this afternoon."

Wang Ming stood at the door with some excitement to see off Hui Niang, his mung bean eyes were full of excitement.

Since Wang Ming used despicable means to confiscate the Zheng family’s orchard some time ago, he really wanted to recruit someone to take over. He released the news of the leased land, and there were many people who came to see the land, but it was all because the orchard was too large to grow. There are a lot of fruit trees, and it is not convenient for people from other villages to take over, and it will cost too much to transform into other ones. Many people shook their heads after seeing this land. Now someone has taken the initiative to take over, and he is just wishing for it.
