"Go to the capital to study." Lu Shatou said every word.

"Why do you want to go to the capital? I can also teach you in the East Courtyard."

"How long can you teach me?"

"..." Zhou Sen was speechless.

"Hexiang said that I must study, and she will study with me." Lu Axe looked serious.

"Yes, you must study. But, do you believe He Xiang?" Zhou Sen looked at Lu Axe. He felt that Lu Axe's decision was a bit unreasonable. After all, he and He Xiang had only met twice.

"I believe her."

"Well, that's fine. By the way, keep your money and belongings well."

"Zhou Sen, I know you are worried about me, and I understand that Hexiang will not cheat me out of my money, and this little money is not worth her cheating." A simple and honest smile appeared on Lu Axe's face.

"Yes." Zhou Sen looked at the imperial coins on Lu Axe's chest and smiled bitterly. Axe was right. Although He Xiang was not a high-end prostitute, she didn't care about tens of thousands of imperial coins.

"Zhou Sen, I'm leaving, take care of yourself." Lu Ax stood up.

"What! Now?!" Zhou Sen stared at Lu Axe in shock. He could not have imagined that Lu Axe would make such a hasty decision.

"Yes."

"Take care! By the way, you lead a short-legged donkey, bring some dry food and warm clothes. You have a strong body, and other girls can't stand the severe cold. I will tell Deaf Jia to settle my account.

You short-legged donkey, I, Zhou Sen, will go out for you."

"Thank you, Zhou Sen." Lu Ax looked at Zhou Sen gratefully. He knew that the value of a short-legged donkey was at least five thousand imperial coins. This amount was worth it to both him and Zhou Sen.

It's a big number.

"We are brothers."

"Yes, brothers forever."

…

After Zhou Sen communicated with Deaf Jia for a while, he led a short-legged donkey, gave his own cotton-padded clothes and quilts to keep out the cold, and gave a set of Lu's ax to Zhao. He sent Lu's ax to the door and negotiated with Mr. Qi again.

Ichiban, for Zhou Sen's sake, even though Mr. Qi was unwilling, he still let it go.

"Axe, wait." Seeing Lu Axe leading Zhao away, Zhou Sen suddenly shouted.

"Um."

Zhou Sen rushed to the kitchen and found the heavy iron ax.

"Take this, if anyone bullies you and He Xiang, use this axe."

"Well, whoever dares to bully He Hexiang, I will kill him like a fly!" Lu's ax made a clanging sound, with an undisguised murderous look on his face.

"Yes, when a fly strikes."

Zhou Sen laughed, Lu Futou laughed, and the hearty laughter echoed at the end of the empty East Street, diluting the desolation and melancholy of separation. The laughter infected the dim-eyed Mr. Qi, who also leaned against the door and grinned.

Zhou Sen sent Lu Ax to the wilderness at the end of East Street, where he saw He Xiang and Miao Lan seeing her off.

Lu Ax helped He Xiang onto the short-legged donkey, and wrapped He Xiang's body in the cotton coat given by Zhou Sen. Then, holding the heavy iron ax, he waved to Zhou Sen and strode on the road.

Quickly, there is only a winding footprint left in the wind and snow...

…

"Why does the ax fascinate He Xiang so much?" Miao Lan said softly as she watched the short-legged donkey hobbling away carrying He Xiang.

"Because the ax is worth entrusting her with for life." Zhou Sen said firmly.

"affim?"

"affim!"

"If I am willing to go with you, will you go with me?" Miaolan asked suddenly.

"..."

"Don't take it seriously. I'm just joking. I'm joking. I know you won't want to. You are not Lu Axe. You are Zhou Sen. Zhou Sen was not born to be ordinary. Besides, even if you agree, I don't have the courage. , no courage..."

Miaolan didn't look into Zhou Sen's eyes, lowered her head and walked away muttering, her long cloak wrapped around her graceful body, and she walked back to Wanfu Inn alone in the wind and snow.

Romantic women also have dreams.

The night of the first grade of junior high school, quiet, vicissitudes of life, melancholy...

Zhou Sen was sitting in the kitchen warming himself by the fire. Without Lu Ax in the East Courtyard, Zhou Sen felt that he was surrounded by loneliness. The huge East Courtyard seemed more and more empty. It was not until this moment that he realized how important Lu Ax was in his heart. location.

Inexplicably, Zhou Sen thought of Shen Huimin.

Presumably at this time, Shen Huimin should be warming up by the fire with her family. Zhou Sen subconsciously glanced at the night sky outside the window. Suddenly, Zhou Sen stood up. He saw two streams of light falling from the sky. Judging from the direction, they should be entering. to the west courtyard.

This is Shen Huimin.

Zhou Sen is very familiar with the cold light emitted by Shen Huimin's Ice Soul Sword when it flies.

Today, the first day of the Lunar New Year, why doesn’t Shen Huimin stay at home and sleep?

Did something happen to Shen Wan?

Almost immediately, Zhou Sen thought of Shen Wan. When the mob attacked a few days ago, Shen Wan, who was supposed to show up, did not show up, and the red envelopes distributed as usual on New Year's Eve did not show up. All this seemed to indicate that something was wrong with the Shen family. Something big happened.

What could have happened?

Zhou Sen was a little anxious, but there was nothing he could do because he was not a superpower. If Shen Wan couldn't solve the problem himself, then it was definitely impossible for him to solve it either.

That night, Zhou Sen tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. It wasn't until dawn that he fell asleep.

It was Deaf Jia who woke up Zhou Sen.

Because Lu Futou resigned, there was no one to cook in the East Courtyard. Zhu Tongzi saw that there were only two concierges and Zhou Senjia Deaf in the East Courtyard, and it was inconvenient to deliver food in this cold weather, so he simply asked them to go to the West Courtyard. Eating in the kitchen.

This is the second time Zhou Sen has eaten in the west courtyard kitchen. The first time was when Nie Si took him to have breakfast here.

There were not many people in the West Courtyard, most of them went home to celebrate the New Year, and even Nie Si was not seen. The people in the West Courtyard were very enthusiastic towards Zhou Sen, and Zhou Sen was not left out, and he quickly became mingled with everyone.

"Have the master and madam eaten?" Zhou Sen asked pretending to be unintentional while everyone was chatting. This kitchen is responsible for the Shen family's food. From here, you can know the Shen family's movements at the first time.

"In recent days, Madam has been the only one eating. However, this morning we prepared portions for three people. It should be that the Master and the Young Lady are eating together."

The servants are no longer surprised by some of the strange phenomena in the Shen family, because Shen Wan often goes into seclusion for months without a trace, and Shen Huimin is also a dragon who disappears without a trace. It is normal for Zhu to eat alone.

Of course, this is a bit unusual for Zhou Sen.

Now it is certain that Shen Huimin went home just last night and brought someone with him. At the same time, Zhou Sen was sure that that person was definitely not Shen Wan. Although it was night, it was a snowy night, so it was still possible I could see some outlines. The person flying side by side with Shen Huimin was petite and completely different from the tall Shen Wan. She should be a woman.

Obviously, the two extra breakfasts prepared today should be Shen Huimin and another woman flying with a sword.

Who could that person be?

Who will rush to Shen’s house on New Year’s Day?

After breakfast, Zhou Sen returned to the East Courtyard. Zhou Sen, who had nothing to do, practiced "Invincible Secrets" for a while in his room. He felt a little restless and unable to meditate, so he simply went out for a walk.

According to the customs of the Han Empire, it is the custom to stay at home on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and everyone no longer has to abide by the customs. Niejiaqiao is much more prosperous. Many children on the streets are exploding firecrackers, having snowball fights and building snowmen, laughing and crying.

The noises and scoldings blended into one, making it very lively.

Fortunately, although everyone in Niejiaqiao knew Zhou Sen's name, few people had seen Zhou Sen. Zhou Sen didn't have to worry about being recognized when he walked on the street.

Zhou Sen walked slowly in the streets and alleys.

Many places in Niejiaqiao are still in ruins, and the mob has left numerous scars on this quaint town.

It may be that the Shen family's actions this time touched the townspeople of Niejiaqiao. The neighbors are united and help each other, but there are no residents living on the streets.

Moling Inn.

Zhou Sen's body suddenly froze, and before he knew it, he walked to the Moling Inn. In his mind, Miaolan's beautiful and sad face and the heroic sound of the piano appeared in his mind.

"Xiao Zhou, you're here, come on, come and warm yourself by the fire, my God, it's really freezing."

While Zhou Sen was wandering around the door of Moling Inn, the old shopkeeper, Uncle Shen, saw someone standing at the door. He thought he was asking for a red envelope. When he came out, he saw that it was Zhou Sen. He quickly invited Zhou Sen to come into the inn to warm up by the fire.

There were a lot of people in the inn. There was a large circle of servants around the charcoal stove, and some guests were chatting away. Everyone was beaming and spitting foam.

When Uncle Shen introduced Zhou Sen to everyone, people immediately looked at Zhou Sen with awe. This awe did not make Zhou Sen feel proud. Instead, they complained secretly and could only bite the bullet and sit down.

Seeing Zhou Sen sit down, everyone's conversation immediately turned to the day of the mob attack, trying to get the silent Zhou Sen to speak.

It's a pity that Zhou Sen felt bored listening to people bragging about how brave he was that day, and he was too embarrassed to leave, feeling on pins and needles.

"Xiao Zhou, go ahead. There is only one person living in the old room." Seeing Zhou Sen restless, Uncle Shen immediately quietly pulled Zhou Sen and whispered softly.

"Ahem..."

"They are all people who have been here, young people, they are more angry, not like us older people... Go ahead, go ahead!"

Uncle Shen picked up Zhou Sen and pushed Zhou Sen up the stairs.

Zhou Sen went upstairs with a wry smile.

307.

Zhou Sen stood at the door of Room 307, not knowing what to do for a moment.
