"Oh, are you talking about Mr. Zhang?" Steward Zhang tried to think of such a person and said.
"Yes, yes." Li Cheng echoed.
"What does he look like? You don't know. There are so many things in the mansion these days, including the new teacher. I can't see him for a while. Alas! It's hard to be a housekeeper. If it's normal … "
"Yes, yes, yes. Steward Zhang is right. It's hard. But Mr. Zhang seems to have been in your mansion before, right?" Li Cheng interrupted Steward Zhang's complaint and pointed out the main topic directly.
"Before? There was no such person before. Did you remember wrongly? "Steward Zhang still couldn't remember which one was Mr. Zhang.
Li Cheng quickly shook his head and said firmly, "Yes, I saw him yesterday. He went to the pond to pick lotus roots and gave me a lotus root. He let me know that the lotus root is still connected when it's broken."
"Oh! So … so the lotus root is still connected when it's broken. Yes, yes, yes, there is such a thing. You can't break the lotus root directly. You need to cut it with a knife. It's very difficult to make. I heard people say so. Is he the cook in your mansion? "
Steward Zhang followed. He didn't know how to respond. He just followed whatever Li Cheng said.
"Steward Zhang, his name is Da Mute. He's not a cook. He's Mr. Zhang." Li Cheng was annoyed. He just thought that Steward Zhang was too straightforward. Now he took back this idea. If he didn't be more direct, he wouldn't be able to get the answer.
Steward Zhang was stunned. He blinked and stared at Li Cheng. "Are you talking about Da Mute?"
"Yes, it's him. Mr. Zhang? Steward Zhang doesn't want to admit it? "Li Cheng asked.
"No, no, no. Well, Mr. Li, please try this tea. I'll be back soon." Steward Zhang now understood that Li Cheng had taken Da Mute for some Teacher Zhang, and even made a connection. It sounded good, so he didn't dare to be negligent. This matter must be told to the young master and the young lady. As long as he told them, he believed that the two little ancestors would know what was going on.
Looking at the receding figure of Steward Zhang, Li Cheng sneered, put the teacup on the table, and said to himself, "You leaked it. You want to cheat in front of me? Don't you know what I do?"

"Xiao Bao, there's a blister on your leg, but there's no pus inside. It looks like you'll be able to participate in the next desert survival training in two days. Do you still want to go?"
In the room, Wang Juan looked at the blister on her leg and asked Zhang Xiaobao.
"Of course, why not? I just want to scare that imperial nephew and let him know the difficulty of survival in the wild. Then he can devote more energy to it. Once he has nothing to do, he will go back to Zhuangzi of the Li family. I'm sure he will miss us. This is only the first time, so it's only the first phase. After the training is over, I'll give him some new ideas and come up with a second phase and a third phase.
Each time it's more difficult and dangerous than the last. I don't believe that he won't be fascinated. If you want to figure out the thoughts of people like him, you have to do something to prove it to others. Then give him a chance. "
Zhang Xiaobao put down the blister on his leg and explained to Wang Juan while lying on the couch. Wang Juan was a little worried. "If we always beat him, will he hate us? What if he loses his confidence? "
"Why do we have to beat him? We have to let him feel that he can still become stronger. Hope is always in front of him. It's also good to teach him something. This is the result of many years of experience. When the time comes, he will take credit for it. Just treat it as a contribution to our current national army."
Zhang Xiaobao looked at the wound on his leg as he spoke. It healed quickly. It was just a blister. In two days, he would participate in the survival in the desert. There was no delay. The desert was not as simple as the grassland. At that time, he would let Li Xun know what survival in the desert was. Unfortunately, how could it be called survival in the wild with some water?
"Oh, then we'll do as you say." Wang Juan agreed to Zhang Xiaobao's proposal.
"Little Master, Little Miss, it's not good. That person called Li Cheng came over and asked Mr. Zhang, who is also Big Mute, about Zhuangzi. He said that Mr. Zhang taught him the lotus root and silk connection. I just asked him. Yesterday, he met Big Mute. Big Mute was there picking lotus roots. What's going on?"
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had just finished discussing when Steward Zhang hurriedly ran over. He explained the matter and repeated the details of the conversation.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Zhang Xiaobao said, "It seems that our Zhuangzi has been targeted. Cuckoo and I performed a little better at the ranch. They won't think that we did it ourselves. They will only think that someone taught us behind the scenes. In that case, Big Mute has been recognized as a master.
That's good. You go and tell Big Mute that from now on, he is a master. He will occasionally meet that Li Cheng. Every time, he has to do a certain action. I will design this action. He can only do one action at a time. He can't stay in contact for too long. After he's done, he has to leave.
As for you guys, if you want to treat him as Big Mute, do as you did before. Do what you should do. Don't treat him as if he has a high status. That's not as good as what he is now. "
After Zhang Xiaobao finished speaking, he used the brush to practice calligraphy just now to draw a few things and gave them to Steward Zhang.
"Got it, Little Master. You're so smart. You don't need to meet him. You know what Li Cheng is thinking just by listening to those words." Steward Zhang respectfully took the things and said sincerely. Then he turned and left.
When he came to the door of the living room, he sighed in his heart and said to himself, "It's over. Li Cheng, you should run away quickly. Poor child, why did you come here for no reason?"
*****
Four days passed quickly. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's bodies had recovered. They only had a few scratches. Children's bodies grew fast, leaving only a few faint scars on their legs.
"Xiao Bao, the new one is about to start. When are we leaving? Li Cheng comes here every day. We should meet today. What is it? "
Wang Juan packed herself up and was ready to go there. She urged Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao was almost done with his preparations. This time, the two of them took a bigger shovel. Since there was water in the desert, the most worrisome thing was the temperature of the sun. During the day, they had to dig a hole and bury themselves. In addition to the shovel, they also had to bring a foldable lantern.
Whether they slept at night or not, the two had decided to march at night to teach Li Xun a lesson. He should not think that he could run as fast as he did during the day in the desert.
After packing the backpack, Zhang Xiaobao said, "Let's go immediately. Today, Li Cheng should have figured out how to divide a circle into four equal parts. In fact, it's very simple. I just don't know how he did it. I haven't divided him into five equal parts yet. Let's go."
After speaking, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan went out of the house. Pomegranate and the other three were already waiting outside. Two beautiful cars were parked outside the gate. These days, Zhang Xiaobao paid for the repair of the courtyard wall of the Zhang Mansion. The original one was really not suitable. A seventh-grade official was still an official, just like the county magistrate. It was just that he did not have a real position.
Pomegranate and the other three were full of confidence for this competition in the desert. They believed that there was nothing that could be difficult for the young master and the young lady.
The two cars left Zhuangzi one after the other and headed in the direction of Dingping County. There was a small piece of sand there. This small piece was bigger than the other places. It was enough for the children to run around. It would take them a few days to finish running.
Dingping County was not far from Luochuan County. It was assumed that Li Xun would bring people there directly. This time, it was unknown how many people would not participate, and it was even more unclear who would join. Once the number of people decreased, Li Xun would definitely recruit people on the spot. Otherwise, who would he train?
The two cars were not in a hurry. It took them two days to arrive at the place.
When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan got out of the car and stood there with backpacks on their backs, laughter could be heard from the crowd that Li Xun had led first. Some people even whispered that the two of them were stupid for carrying such a big backpack in the desert.
None of the people who had participated in the grassland survival training a few days ago echoed the laughter and chatter of these people. They all looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan with reverence. They had seen the abilities of these two people. On the first day, they made food. On the second day, they were in the lead all the way. On the third day, they were in the lead. On the third day, they were in the lead. On the morning of the third day, they had left an indelible impression in their hearts.
Even if Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not participate on the third day, these people still left the first place to the two of them in their hearts. People of a younger age group were actually able to suppress people of a higher age group to the point that they could not raise their heads. This was ability.
"Hahahaha, look at those two silly children. They are actually carrying such a big backpack. Hey, don't you think so? Why don't you say something? " A person who joined in later laughed loudly. He touched the person next to him and asked. He wanted to get a sound of agreement, but found that person standing there with a serious face, looking at the two children who had just gotten out of the car in front of him.
"What should I say? You are a fool? Do you know who they are? They are the Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan from Tuqiao Village, Sanshui County, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan from Zhuangzi. Wait until you can hold on and stop crying. Then you can laugh at them. "
This was the 11-year-old who had participated in the grassland survival training. He did not dare to laugh at the two of them.
At this time, a person about ten years old came out of the group. He came to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and said to them, "Are you Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan who are rumored to be gods? Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan from Tuqiao Village? "
"Yes, we are. Who are you?" Zhang Xiaobao calmly faced this person and asked in a light tone. Wang Juan stood next to him as if she did not hear anything and looked around.
"I am your neighbor. Didn't your family just get a piece of land? The other side of the land is my family's Zhuangzi. We may often meet in the future." This person curled his lips and said.
