Zhao Xifeng didn't dare to look at it anymore, for fear that Zhong Li would suddenly lose control. This was a major event that was at risk of life, so he withdrew his gaze, touched his nose, and pretended that nothing happened.

Zhong Li continued, "According to my observation over the past few days, your tiger leap has its shape, but it still lacks its momentum."

"Is there any tangible thing?" Zhao Xifeng frowned.

"Yes," Zhong Li nodded slightly, "Tiger is the king of all beasts, the most powerful beasts in the world, and they have their own pride and power. And you have fought against me all these days, and you have always decided to be defeated by the weak. Every time you think, you are just persisting for a while, where can you have the power to be proud of the mountains and forests?"

Zhao Xifeng smiled bitterly and said, "The tiger in your body is the ancestor of the tiger and the king of the kings! I am just a fake tiger, but I am still a half-baked person. How can I be majestic?"

Zhong Li bent her lips and said with a smile: "This is the problem you want to solve yourself. But I think you have made great contributions to help me train a tiger. I will also give you an opportunity. It is no worse than Lingshan Jiujiu. It depends on whether you can hold on or not."

Zhao Xifeng laughed loudly and said enthusiastically: "I, Zhao Xifeng, have been in the town for many years, relying on the four words "putting a bag to make a living!" Don't worry, there are only cakes that you can't draw, and no food that I can't swallow."

"It's so good," Zhong Li's smile became brighter, "Then you can sort out your clothes in the past two days and prepare enough dry food. Come to Gulou to find me on August 15th."

After saying that, Zhong Li stood up and walked out the door.

"Where are you going?" Zhao Xifeng asked loudly behind his back.

Zhong Li kept walking: "Go back to the Drum Tower, since you can no longer open the tiger's eyes, why are you still here to do?"

"My father even gave you a mutton cake tonight!" Zhao Xifeng continued to shout.

"You keep it and eat it yourself."

赵西枫盯着大门许久,在确定钟璃已经走远周后,长叹一口气说道:“这姑奶奶,可算是走了,这几天端茶倒水做饭挨揍,我对我那素未谋面的老娘都没这么孝敬!还要时刻担心别不小心对上眼了,她倒是没事,我可是要凭白再挨一顿揍!”

Li Xuan, who had just put the chessboard and chess pieces, walked to Zhao Xifeng and said weakly: "I think Teacher Zhong is good. Thanks to the teaching this time, I saved my life. Brother Xifeng should not say bad things about her behind her back."

"It's just that the princess has more bad habits," Zhao Xifeng snorted coldly, turned to Li Xuan and asked, "Where are idle, let's go to Ku'er?"

Li Xuan nodded happily.

Ku'er is the neighbor whom Zhao Xifeng and Li Xuan moved to. She is the servile servant in the juggling class in Xinlai Town. Now she lives with her adoptive father in the yard diagonally opposite to Zhao Xifeng's house.

Ku'er is thirteen or fourteen years old this year, but because she was malnourished since childhood, she is thin and small. She still looks like she is eight or nine years old, and she doesn't even have a few hairs.

Ku'er's adoptive father was also a traitor in the juggling team, named Hiraki. He usually cleaned the backstage with his son and moved some heavy objects. According to him, when he was young, he once lost a child in his seat after the audience was over. He found out and kept him by his side. Because the dinner that day was made of bitter vegetables and steamed buns, he named the child Ku'er.

Although the wages paid by the juggling team for the slaughter are meager, they do not fail to raise a bachelor and take care of their children. The reason why Ku'er is poor is because Pinggui likes to gambling and loses every gambling. Many people in the troupe say that Ku'er is simply a child stolen by Pinggui, so that when someone comes to the door for gambling debts, he will not force him to go to a dead end when he sees him having a child.

A few days ago, when Zhao Xifeng bought breakfast for Zhong Li on the road, he heard a child crying in the yard next to him. When he went in, he found a thin and vulgar middle-aged man beating a thinner child. So he stepped forward to stop him and said a few words to the child. Pinggui knew that Zhao Xifeng was a student from the school and did not dare to offend him. He muttered a few words and went back to the house to sleep. In this way, Zhao Xifeng met Ku'er.

Later, Zhao Xifeng often came to see Li Xuan and brought some food, of course, it was the money paid by Huangjizong.

Although Ku'er's life is hard, he is not hard. He has a happy and cheerful personality. He always feels that his life will be better when he grows up. He often tells Zhao Xifeng and Li Xuan about the various experiences he has encountered in the juggling class over the years. Wherever there are dragons in the river, where there are gods on the mountains, where there are the most prosperous cities, where there are the most beautiful sisters. The two of them are so envious.

Today, Pinggui went to the team to help, leaving Ku'er alone to watch the house. Zhao Xifeng's door did not knock on it, and jumped into the courtyard wall with a loud shout. Li Xuan shouted twice and didn't stop him. He had no choice but to follow suit.

In the yard, Ku'er was humming the Northwest folk song he had just learned and was washing clothes in the yard. When he saw the two of them coming in, he screamed in surprise, wiped his hands hard, and came forward: "Xifeng, Xiaoxuan, you wouldn't come here in the afternoon!"

Zhao Xifeng smiled and said, "I have been in the cage for a long time and have returned to nature. A tiger walked through my home. Naturally, I have to come out for some breathing and celebrate."

Ku'er was so stupid that she didn't understand, so she turned to look at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan smiled and said, "Brother Aku, don't listen to him talking nonsense, just that Teacher Zhong didn't look at him and ran out to be lazy."

The three of them laughed at the same time.

The three of them chatted in the yard for a while. Ku'er led the two into the house. He took out a small package wrapped in kraft paper under the pillow and handed it to Li Xuan. He said with a smile: "You are here at the right time. Chunjie in the team gave me a bag of nougat during the evening shift last year. He bought it when Liangcheng opened the stage. There was no one sold in the town. I quickly took it and asked my father to come back to see him, but I couldn't keep it."

Li Xuan looked up at Zhao Xifeng awkwardly, and the latter smiled and said, "Take it, let's try fresh things brought by Brother Ku, when we go back."

Li Xuan thanked repeatedly and put the package in her arms.

"At this time tomorrow, I'll bring you some mutton cakes." Zhao Xifeng patted Ku'er's shoulder and said, and Ku'er responded with a smile.

Then it was time for Ku'er to tell stories to Zhao and Li. The three of them chatted until supper time, and then said goodbye reluctantly.

After leaving Ku'er's house, Zhao Xifeng said to Li Xuan with a solemn expression: "You must not open this package and send it directly to Master Qian from the Xuefu. Don't endure anything the Ku'er gave you in the future. You can't even have a mouthful of water, and you are not allowed to see him alone. Do you understand?"

Li Xuan looked at Zhao Xifeng and was speechless, but she didn't react for a moment.

Zhao Xifeng sneered and said, "Did you forget the knife that stabbed me in the back at the beginning of the year? The murderer has not been caught yet. All the people in the troupe are concentrated in the accommodation provided by the Sun family. Why do the two servants come out alone to live next to my house? The troupe has been in the town for a while, and Chunjie'er gave the candy he bought from Liangcheng to Kuge'er? I'm afraid the things have been prepared long ago, so we are waiting for us to get familiar with each other! Don't tell the public, let's just watch coldly to see what kind of fun they can do this time!"
