At noon in midsummer, the people who had just eaten took a short break before continuing the day's work. The birds and the chickens and dogs in the courtyard had all found a place to enjoy the warm sun or to hide in a cool place.
In the small river in front of the Zhang family's manor in Tuqiao Village, a group of boys were playing to their heart's content. After playing for a while, perhaps because they were shouting too loudly, a person walked out from the manor's courtyard. He stared at the group of boys and reprimanded them with dissatisfaction, "All of you scram further away. If you wake up my family's young master, you'll all be waiting to be beaten."
The boys immediately stopped shouting and all of them carefully looked at the side door of the courtyard. They hid in the water and slowly moved upstream.
When the person returned to the courtyard, the boys let out a sigh of relief and made all kinds of funny faces at the closed door.
"Scared me to death. He is so fierce. Even the old master of the Zhang family is not like him." A seven year old boy whispered as he used his hands to dig at the yellow mud inside the river.
"Isn't it the same? The master is kind, but the steward is fierce. No matter how fierce he is, he still has to listen to the master. I heard that the young master can eat porridge now. Later, we will catch a few toads and give them to him. Take the oil from them and put it in the porridge. It is good for the body. My mother ate like this when she had my little sister." Another slightly older boy was more sensible than the previous one. He looked at the toads that occasionally swam in the water and said to the others.
The boys also knew that at this time, they would have an unexpected harvest if they fawned over the young master of the main family. They all nodded. Another boy who had already caught a toad said: "Then we should catch two more. The daughter of the Wang family is also in the Zhang family. Erzi, if your sister is now with the young master of the Zhang family, how good would that be? Your family will not have to worry about food and clothing in the future."
The one who was called Erzi was the sensible boy just now. Hearing this, Weiwei shook her head: "That is impossible. There are only two big Zhuangzi in the village. They are a match. Besides, they can also give birth. They were originally betrothed when they were young. Unexpectedly, they were born on the same day, less than a minute apart."
"That's right, that's right." The child who spoke first also nodded and said, "It's not just that. I heard that ever since the two children met when they were one month old, they stuck together and cried when they were apart. That's why they were put together. Counting the days, they will be one year old in a few days."
"I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore. Hurry up and catch the toads. As long as the master is happy, he might reward us with a few eggs. My mother doesn't have much milk, so I can steam cakes for my sister to eat." Erzi thought of his four-month-old sister and didn't want to waste any more time. He called out and went to find the fork first.
*****
In the courtyard of Zhangjia Zhuangzi, in a room, there were two children lying side by side. They were gently covered by a thin blanket. Their small faces showed a peaceful expression, and their stomachs rose and fell evenly. At the door of the room, there was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl sitting on a small stool. After looking at the sleeping children, she leaned against the door frame and dozed off. After a while, she also fell asleep.
After a while, the little boy lying on the right slowly opened his eyes. At first, he was stunned, then he was puzzled. He raised his hands and moved his feet. Suddenly, there was a trace of panic in his eyes. He turned his head and looked around, muttering: "Where is this? How did I become a child? Where are the bandits? Where is that Wang Juan? "
When he looked at the other child next to him, he found that the child lying next to him was a girl. An idea that he had to consider arose in his heart. Before he could make a further judgment, the girl's eyelashes fluttered twice. With the uncertain idea in his heart, the boy closed his eyes again and pretended to be just like before.
At this time, the girl also opened her eyes. She was also puzzled. She also looked around and muttered: "Where is this? How did I become a child? Where is the liar Zhang Xiaobao? I haven't finished my task yet. "
Her muttering was heard by the boy next to her. The boy's breathing was very even just now, but he suddenly stopped and immediately returned to normal. However, at this moment, he was discovered by the girl who had been staring at him.
With guesses in her heart, the girl estimated the position of the person sitting at the door. She reached out her chubby little hand and touched the boy's face: "Zhang Xiaobao? Is that you? "
The boy didn't have any reaction. His breathing was still so even. The girl gritted her teeth and pinched the boy's nose. The boy woke up this time. He turned his head and looked at the girl. His big eyes were as pure as they could be.
"Zhang Xiaobao, hurry up and answer me." She once again spoke in her muffled voice.
The boy still looked the same. He blinked his big eyes and made a few "ah ah" sounds with no pitch at all, just like a normal child of his age.
"Are you not Zhang Xiaobao?" The girl really did not know how to judge.
"Ha ~! Ha ~! Ah ~! Ah ~! "The boy's monotonous voice came, and at the same time, he reached out his chubby little hand to touch the girl's face.
The girl stared at the boy's eyes to see if there was any expression in them that should not be there, but she did not see anything. Just as the girl was about to give up, she suddenly remembered the words of the director at the beginning: "He can jump down from a height of 15 meters without any injury. He can climb a nine-meter high wall with his bare hands. He is proficient in criminal psychology, behavioral psychology, social psychology, and many other disciplines. He is classified as an extremely dangerous criminal."
"I'll let you pretend, I'll strangle you." The girl also raised her hand and directly pinched the boy's arm. As soon as she pinched, the boy immediately cried "Wah ~ Wah!" He cried. Before the girl could do anything else, the girl sitting at the door rushed over.
When the girl saw that someone was coming, she pretended to be as innocent as the boy just now and blinked her eyes. The boy looked at the girl in horror and did not stop crying. "Okay, okay, okay.
"Alright, alright, Bao Lang, don't cry. You didn't even pee. Bao Lang, don't look at the Wang family's young lady like that. She's your future wife. You've been together since you were one month old. Why are you so scared?" Following the young lady's comforting words, the boy finally stopped crying.
When the girl returned to the stool, the boy went back to sleep. The girl looked gloomy. She looked at the boy and thought for a while. Finally, she gritted her teeth and reached out her hand again. This time, she was going for the boy's crotch. She whispered, "Brother,
"You know how to ask for help, right? You think you have a backer, right? You're not afraid of being pinched, right? I'll find something wrong with you. "
"Wah ~! Wah ~! " Before the girl's hand touched the boy's crotch, the boy shouted again. The girl quickly retracted her hand. The girl came over again. Seeing that nothing was wrong, she went back and sat down.
"Let's see how long you can cry. I'm going to scratch again." The girl reached out her hand again.
"Wah ~!" The boy cried.
The girl retracted her hand. The boy stopped. The girl reached out. The boy cried. The two of them repeated like this.
After a few times, the girl did not reach out this time. She only said, "I'm going to scratch again."
"Wah ~!" The boy cried.
"I'm not going to scratch again," the girl said.
The boy stopped.
He did stop, but the boy's expression changed. He was no longer as innocent as before.
"Pretend, pretend, keep pretending. Are you regretting it? Did you forget to learn child psychology? My international liar, comrade Zhang Xiaobao. "This time, the girl laughed and said jokingly in the boy's ear.
The boy could no longer pretend. He reached out his chubby little hand, slapped his forehead, and sighed. "It's not that I'm careless. It's that men are too attentive to this."
He understood that it had become a reflex. It was impossible for children to have this kind of reaction. Faced with this kind of situation, there were basically only two kinds of reactions for a child. One was to cry continuously and wait for someone to comfort him, but then he stopped. Two was to change from crying to laughing, thinking that he had found something fun, but he was affected by the adult's thoughts.
"Comrade Wang Juan, I don't think a police officer should do such a dirty thing, let alone a policewoman. You are too immoral." Zhang Xiaobao finally admitted his identity.
"Swindler comrade Zhang Xiaobao, you have to remember that there are only bad starting points, and not unreasonable means. Tell me, where did you put the money?" Wang Juan didn't feel embarrassed at all. This was what she was trained to do.
Zhang Xiaobao looked at the girl at the door who had sat down again and had nothing to do. He turned to Wang Juan and said, "If you have to add a word before my name, please say suspect. Now, I don't think we should be thinking about money. Remember, money is never a problem for me. What I'm thinking now is, can I still eat that bowl of cold jelly?"
"You really know how to find a relaxing topic. Where's the money?" Wang Juan still asked about the money.
"Are you stupid as a police officer? What money? Look at how we are now, look at the surroundings. According to a normal and unbelievable saying, we have already left the original world and reincarnated into another world. My only regret is that I didn't eat that bowl of cold jelly. "Zhang Xiaobao turned around and looked at the ceiling.
Wang Juan looked around again and found that this was not in her era, or in other words, in this world. Especially the appearance of the girl sitting at the door when she came over, and the clothes she was wearing, proved this point.
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault. You insisted on exchanging hostages. Now, my family will never see it. You have to compensate me, my parents, my brothers and sisters, and my job." Wang Juan tried to keep her voice as low as possible while pinching Zhang Xiaobao's arm and complaining.
"Do you regret it? Is it better if I didn't go there and let that child live in the threat of death? "Zhang Xiaobao turned around and asked again.
"Regret? No, I have no regrets. Who am I? I am China's Overlord Flower. Please don't look at me like that. My glory cannot be tarnished. "Wang Juan was stunned for a moment, and then said to Zhang Xiaobao seriously.
Zhang Xiaobao nodded and admitted to Wang Juan's words. He thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Do you think I can see my parents in this life? Looking at the surrounding decorations and what that person said, they should be from a rich family. "
"Sigh ~!" Wang Juan sighed and said rationally, "Don't think about that. Think about where we are. What should we do in the future? "
"Who cares where they are. I have decided. I can finally see my parents in this life. I will work hard to earn money so that they can live a good life. I will also find a wife so that she can live a good life. From what that woman said, you seem to be my wife. I have decided …"
"I have decided not to admit to this matter. I will not live with an international fraud suspect." Without waiting for Zhang Xiaobao to finish speaking, Wang Juan then vetoed.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this kind of thing first. I'm going to sleep. I may have other things to do in a while, so I won't accompany you." Zhang Xiaobao lay back down and closed his eyes with an expectant look on his face.
