The area of ​​the back house of Zhou Mansion is about the same as that of the front yard. The middle yard is the largest. Zhou Zhong's father Zhou Hai used to live here. To the east of this yard is Zhou Chong's yard, and to the east is the garden.

On the west side of Zhou Hai's yard is the yard of Aunt Wang and other aunts. In addition, Zhuo'er's embroidery building is also on the west side. However, since the family's decline, Zhuo'er moved to Aunt Wang's place and slept with Duo'er at night.

, after all, in such a big yard, it is safer for three people to live together.

There are two doors from the front yard of Zhou's mansion to the inner house, one on the east and west sides respectively. The yard where Zhou Zhong lives is on the east side, so he is also used to entering the inner house from the east door, which is right opposite the back garden.

Moon Gate, after Zhou Zhong entered the inner house, he turned around and bolted the door, and then walked towards the yard where he lived.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard a "Woo~" sound coming from the garden. It sounded somewhat similar to the sound of the cold wind in winter, but it was different. It was more like a person or animal being muffled.

The whimpering sound when he shut up suddenly made Zhou Zhong alert. At the same time, he thought of Zhuo'er and others in the yard not far away, which made him even more anxious. He lowered his head and blew out the lantern, and then flashed to the moon in the back garden.

In front of the door, carefully identify the direction of the sound.

“Woooo~, thump thump thump~~”

As soon as Zhou Zhong arrived in front of the door, the whimpering sound inside became clearer, and then there was a very obvious sound of footsteps inside, as if someone inside had noticed Zhou Zhong's arrival and was quickly running away into the distance.

Zhou Zhong didn't care anymore. He picked up a flower hoe next to the Moon Gate and chased after him in the direction of the footsteps. As a result, he soon saw a black figure running wildly in front of him. The black figure was running wildly in front of him.

When Ying heard the footsteps of Zhou Zhong chasing after him, he was even more frightened and panicked. In addition, he was not familiar with the roads in the garden, so he dashed around in the garden like a headless fly.

Although it is very cold today, the moon and stars are out in the sky. In addition, Zhou Chong has good eyesight. With the help of the moonlight, he can see that the dark figure in front of him seems to be just a person. This makes him feel relieved. He was worried about the bracelet before.

They were relieved that they were kidnapped, and at the same time their minds were clearer, and they began to deliberately drive the black figure towards the dead end. The black figure in front seemed to have no experience, and the more he ran, the more panicked he became, and he might even have been captured.

The path in the garden is confusing and you don’t know which way to escape?

Relying on his familiarity with the garden and Zhou Chong's deliberate guidance, he quickly drove the black figure in front of him to a corridor, which led to a small pavilion standing on the water. As a result, the black figure panicked and chose the right path.

, and sure enough, I plunged into the corridor, and when I reached the end, I realized that I had reached a dead end.

I saw the black figure darting left and right in the small pavilion. I tried several times to jump into the pond below, but in this weather, the pond was already covered with a thin layer of ice. Even if I jumped in, I would be drowned.

It could freeze to death, so the shadow stretched out one of its legs several times, but finally retracted it.

Seeing that the other party was forced to a dead end by himself, Zhou Zhong also slowed down and took the opportunity to take a few breaths. When he was chasing him just now, he didn't yell at the person in front of him to stop like ordinary people.

Next, firstly, he knew it was useless, and secondly, he was worried about alerting Aunt Wang and Zhuo'er. After all, he was the only man in the house, so they couldn't help at all, and with his skills, he was just a little thief.

Didn't take it seriously at all.

Zhou Zhong looked at the frightened black figure in the small pavilion. The flower hoe in his right hand hit the palm of his left hand again and again. As he slowly approached, he said jokingly: "Run, why don't you run? Didn't you run just now?"

Is it pretty fast?"

The thief in the small pavilion was not a courageous person. Hearing Zhou Zhong's voice, his whole body trembled, especially the flower hoe in Zhou Zhong's hand, which put great psychological pressure on him. When Zhou Zhong Yi

As soon as he stepped into the small pavilion, he saw the other party suddenly fell to his knees with a thud and begged: "Master Zhou, please forgive me, I really didn't come here to steal things!"

"Huh?" Zhou Zhong was stunned when he heard this voice, because he felt it was very familiar, as if he had heard this voice somewhere before. At that moment, he took a few steps forward again, and with the help of the moonlight, he could see clearly that the other party was really

one's own acquaintances.

"Zhao Er, are you itchy again? It seems that the lesson I gave you last time was too light. How dare you come to my house so late at night?" Zhou Zhong said and kicked him.

The other party kicked him somersault, and he was not merciful with his kick. The other party couldn't get up for a long time.

In fact, it is not to blame Zhou Zhong for kicking each other indiscriminately. This guy named Zhao Er is not a good guy, but a well-known rogue in the neighborhood. He often hangs out with several other rogues. There is no power behind them. Big mistake.

Naturally, I don't dare to do it, but I do petty theft without paying for food, and even do a lot of immoral things such as cheating, kidnapping, and molesting women. This area is quite notorious in this area.

Although Zhao Er is a well-known rogue in the neighborhood, the Zhou family had a great business in the past and they did not dare to provoke him even if they killed him. Therefore, Zhou Zhong did not pay attention to this guy at first. However, after the Zhou family was defeated, Zhao Er and several rogues did not either.

Knowing what he had eaten, he climbed over the wall and ran to the inner house of the Zhou Mansion, intending to tease Aunt Zhao and the two Aunt Han who had not left at that time. At that time, all the servants of the Zhou family had been dismissed, and the huge Zhou Mansion only had

Two men, Zhou Chong and Butler Xu, paid no attention to the two of them, Zhao Er.

But this time, scoundrels like Zhao Er and the others were kicked to the iron. In his previous life, Zhou Zhong relied on his good skills to earn a living. Generally, five or six people were no match for him. Although now he has traveled to Zhou Zhong, who is relatively thin.

His body and skills have deteriorated a bit, but it is no problem to deal with these rogues like Zhao Er.

And in order to make them remember the lesson, Zhou Zhong also deliberately dealt a heavy hand. He beat Zhao Er and the others until they cried for their father and mother. In the end, they knelt on the ground and swore that they would never dare to step into Zhou's house again. Only then did Zhou Zhong let them go.

One horse, but I didn't expect that just a few days ago, Zhao Er dared to run in at night. Isn't this looking for death?

Zhao Er had already experienced Zhou Zhong's skills last time, and also knew that Zhou Xiucai, who was known as a child prodigy, was cruel and vicious. When he hit someone, he would hit the place that hurts the most. The feeling was even worse than death.

Therefore, when he was chased by Zhou Zhong just now, he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. If he hadn't been worried that the water in the pond was too cold, he might have dared to jump into the water.

It took a long time for Zhao Er to get up. He was a bully and afraid of the strong. He didn't dare to fight back when facing Zhou Zhong. Instead, he begged again: "Master Zhou, please stop beating me. I really didn't come here to steal anything!"

Zhou Zhong was actually surprised. He knew people like Zhao Er best. The lesson he gave them last time was severe enough. Normally, with his bullying and fearful temperament, he should not dare to come again, but tonight he actually broke into

It was really strange to come in, so I saw him take two steps back and asked: "Oh, then tell me why you broke into my house at night? If there is really a last resort reason, that's all. If you dare to play tricks in front of me,

I must let you peel off your skin today!"

"Yes! Even the little liar dare not lie to you. The reason why the villain broke into your house tonight is actually to chase this little thing!" Zhao Er was so frightened when he heard Zhou Zhong's threat.

Shivering, he then took off a package from his back and brought it to Zhou Zhong. Only then did Zhou Zhong realize that there was a "woo-woo" sound in the package in Zhao's hand, which was the same as what he heard outside the garden just now.

Zhou Chong was not afraid of Zhao Er's tricks. He reached for the package and opened it, only to find that there was a white puppy inside. However, the four paws of this dog were tied and its mouth was blocked. He could only

A whining sound came from his throat, his two big eyes were full of fear and prayer, and he looked extremely pitiful.

"You dare to come to my house just to chase a dog. Do you think I will believe your reason?" Zhou Zhong said angrily. The little white dog in his hand looked like an ordinary native dog.

, not worth much money at all, Zhao Er used this reason to prevaricate him, which was simply an insult to his intelligence.

"Master Zhou, please listen to my explanation. I really don't dare to lie to you!" Seeing that Zhou Zhong didn't believe it, Zhao Er cried and begged again. Then he was worried that Zhou Zhong would hit him again, so he hurriedly told what happened.

Read it again.

It turns out that Zhao Er really didn't lie. The reason why he ran to the back garden of Zhou's mansion today was indeed to chase this little white dog. As for the reason, it seems to be related to Zhou Zhong. A few days ago, he and a few gangsters were beaten by Zhou Zhong.

His nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Zhao Er had a good reputation and was embarrassed to go out during the day. However, he was alone in his house and it was a poor settlement. There was no food at all in the house, so he had to go out at night to get some food.

The weather has been cold these days, and everyone closes their doors early at night. Zhao Er has not had the chance to use his dirty tricks for several days. As a result, he naturally cannot get anything to eat. According to Zhao Er

, he had been completely out of food since yesterday, and he was so hungry tonight that he finally saw this little white dog on the street, so he caught it at home and prepared to stew it.

But Zhao Er didn't expect that the puppy was so clever that he bit off the rope and ran out while he was sharpening the knife. Finally, it got in through the drainage hole under the wall of the back garden of Zhou's house. Normally, it would have been so clever.

It was a puppy. Even if a chicken that could lay eggs ran into Zhou's house, Zhao Er did not dare to break in. But today he was really hungry, so he wandered outside for a long time, and finally climbed over the wall with courage.

Jumping in, he didn't expect that he had just caught the dog and was discovered by Zhou Zhong, so the previous scene happened.

After listening to Zhao Er's explanation, Zhou Zhong looked at Zhao Er, who was still kneeling on the ground. Although he couldn't see the expression on his face because of the darkness, his intuition told him that Zhao Er probably wasn't lying.

Should we let him go just like that? Zhou Zhong felt a little unwilling. This guy Zhao Er was not a good person. Fortunately, he was in his own hands today. If it had been another person, he would have been blackmailed by him.
