Chapter 364: The Current Situation of Huanxi Villa

Yes, as soon as these words came out, Qiu Ju didn't know where she was. The young man in front of her was Zhang Xiaohua back then.

She covered her mouth and smiled, flicked and moved away, and said, "Xiaohua, come in quickly."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and entered Qiuju's house.

The layout of the inner courtyard house is obviously different from the small house where Zhang Xiaohua lived before. If you have a slept in the earthen kang as soon as you enter the house, Qiu Ju will of course let Zhang Xiaohua come in so late. This is obviously a small house similar to a living room. A small table is placed in it, and stools are placed around. Zhang Xiaohua enters the house and finds a stool to sit. Qiu Ju picked up the teapot from the side, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over, and smiled and said, "Xiao Hua, drink a cup of hot tea first to warm your body."

Zhang Xiaohua reached out to take it, took a sip, and was about to put it down. Qiu Ju said, "Don't put it down, just hold it like this, it can warm your hands."

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and smiled and said, "Sister Qiuju is indeed careful."

Although he was not afraid of the cold and heat, he still held his hands in his hands. Just as he was about to speak, Qiuju said, "Xiaohua, where have you been in the past few years? Remember five years ago, I heard from Qiutong that you were missing and killed by a group of bandits. Hehe, it's not that you, Xiaohua, you have learned martial arts from Captain He for a lot of time, but you can't even beat the bandits."

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua coming back safely, she was not missing any arms or legs, Qiuju naturally laughed at him without any hesitation. Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Sister Qiuju is wrong. There are hundreds of bandits. I am just alone. How can I beat him? Unless I have three heads and six arms."

Qiuju said, "Just your small body at that time, not to mention three heads and six arms, even nine heads and thirty-six arms can't beat you."

Speaking of this, I covered my mouth and smiled first, and then said, "By the way, tell me what happened at that time? The leader of the Ou Gang sent a lot of people to find you, but there was no news about you. The lady and Sister Qiutong thought you would not be back. They were sad for a long time. Oh, if they could see you today, Huanxi Villa, they would definitely be very happy."

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while and said, "Actually, there is nothing to say about my affairs. It was when I met a bandit who did bad things and kidnapped someone's girl. I think I had learned martial arts, so I went to the bandit's village with my second brother to save people. The man was rescued, but he was discovered by the people of the Tianlong Sect and caught him."

"Tianlong Sect?" Qiu Ju said in confusion: "What kind of sect is this? It seems that I have never heard of it."

Zhang Xiaohua said: "There are countless sects in the world, and it is normal that Sister Qiuju has never heard of it."

"Then, what? The Tianlong Sect actually captured you for five years? You are a child in every family, so they are too inhumane."

Zhang Xiaohua laughed and said, "Sister Qiuju, I'm not that young either."

Qiuju smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Xiaohua continued: "Actually, not long after they captured me, I found an opportunity to escape. However, when I escaped, I was not on land, but on the vast sea. I drifted to an island by myself, and I didn't return to land until recently."

"Ah!" Qiuju opened her eyes wide in surprise and asked incrediblely: "Xiaohua, you actually went out to sea. Have you been alone on a deserted island for five years?"

"Yes, Sister Qiuju, actually, it's nothing. I wasn't used to it at first, but I got used to it as I lived it, really."

"Oh, poor child." Qiu Ju's mother's love burst out in an instant, feeling unfair about Zhang Xiaohua's experience, and said, "Fortunately, you are finally back now. Well, it's great. I will stay in Huanxi Villa from now on, don't go anywhere. By the way, when will you go back to the villa? Why haven't I heard Qiu Xiang say it? I met Tian Chongxi in the afternoon, and I didn't hear him say it? It's not that you just came back, right?"

Several questions in succession fully demonstrate Qiuju's care.

"Qiuxiang?" Zhang Xiaohua was also surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Who is Qiuxiang?"

"Oh." Qiu Ju smiled and said, "You have just returned to the village. You have never met Sister Qiuxiang, right? Well, it is probably Tian Chongxi who wanted to take you to see her tomorrow morning."

Speaking of this, a hint of sorrow appeared on his face and said, "I believe Tian Chongxi has told you about the matter of Piaomiao Sect. Since the young lady and sister Qiutong went to the gang leader's wife to preach the incense sect, our Huanxi Villa has been in charge of Qiuxiang for the time being. Alas, this has been in charge for three years. However, Xiaohua, don't worry, although you have never seen Qiuxiang, you are still an old man from Huanxi Villa. My sister has a good relationship with Qiuxiang. Tomorrow morning, my sister told her before, don't wait for Tian Chongxi to report, and she will refuse it. It will be too late for my sister to go again."

Seeing Qiu Ju say this, Zhang Xiaohua felt a warm feeling in her heart. She saw true love in her ordinary state. She had only met Qiu Ju for a few times, but she thought that she was the servant of Huanxi Villa, and she took care of her like this. True love was rare.

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "I'll talk about these things later. I want to ask, Sister Qiuju, do you know the whereabouts of my second brother Zhang Xiaohu? Is he dead or alive?"

Qiu Ju thought for a while and sighed, "I tell the truth about your second brother, Xiaohua, I really don't know. The Piaomiao Sect was besieged by the three sects that day, and I just heard a vague sound of fighting in the villa. It is impossible for me to know the specific situation of facing the enemy. Moreover, in the end, the disciples of our Piaomiao Sect were accepted by the gang leader's wife and brought back to the incense sect. I didn't see it either, so naturally there was no news about Zhang Xiaohu."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua sighed and said, "What is the situation of Miss Ou and Sister Qiutong, and what is the current situation of our Huanxi Villa?"

Qiu Ju's face showed sadness again and said, "Our Huanxi Villa and Piaomiao Villa have always been one and are related to each other. The Piaomiao Sect was sent to the incense sect. The Dalin Temple and the Zhengdao League teamed up to destroy the family. Half of the gangs died on the spot. Although Elder Hu escaped, the rest were all mediocre martial arts, and some of them were deposed. They were taken back by the incense sect. Although our Huanxi Villa was supported by the Jingyi Master of the incense sect, the other two sects had to surrender, but the lady was taken away by them. Sister Qiutong was reluctant to let Miss and went with her. My sister and I also wanted to go with her, but the lady refused, so she stayed."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua asked, "Sister Qiuju, do you know where the incense sect is?"

"This?" Qiuju shook her head and said, "I don't know this. Many of them set out on the road together that day. I said goodbye to the lady, but I didn't hear her say it. I guess the lady himself might not know it. However, their carriage went south, maybe it was just south."

"How about the villa now? Is it the same as before?" Zhang Xiaohua asked.

Qiu Ju still smiled bitterly and said, "Wanxi Villa has left the Piaomiao Sect, how can it still be like before? Although the three factions have agreements, they must not interfere with Huanxi Villa, but the Zhengdao League is next to Huanxi Villa and occupy Piaomiao Villa. Every move of our villa is under the surveillance of the Zhengdao League. Our guards said that in the past few years, their disciples were all over the villa, and they were surveillance openly and secretly. That is, this year, there has been nothing unusual in our villa. They relaxed their vigilance. However, when you come back today, you must have been questioned at the entrance of the villa. Even during the Chinese New Year, they have kept their men to prevent our villa from calming down."

"So, where is the villa?" Zhang Xiaohua asked again.

"There is no change in the villa. Some people saw that Huanxi Villa had no future and ran away quietly. These people were really heartless. How good the ladies were to them back then, they left their consciences and ran away. Xiaohua, you don't know that many of them had their own contracts left in the villa, but with the intervention of the Zhengdao League, they were all left in the villa."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

Looking at Zhang Xiaohua, Qiu Ju smiled and said, "It's better that you have a great conscience. You know that the villa is like this and you will come back. It's not unfair to the lady and Sister Qiutong treat you."

"However, the medicinal fields in our villa have been deserted for a long time and are about to plant farmland. You came from a farmer. I believe you are very proficient in this area. When I say something to Qiuxiang tomorrow, it is better to be Tian Chongxi's deputy."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled slightly and said, "By the way, Sister Qiuju, where has Yu Lao been?"

"Oh, Mr. Yu, he naturally went to the incense sect with the lady. Although he was the manager of the villa, he still had to protect the lady's safety. Sister Qiutong could only serve the lady. If it was said to be protection, she could only let Mr. Yu stand up."

"Oh, that's it." Zhang Xiaohua touched her nose with her fingers.

"There are many changes in the villa, but as long as you work hard as before, you will definitely have no problem making a living. Xiaohua, Miss and Qiutong are not around. If you have anything, even if you tell your sister, even though your sister is not Qiuxiang, you can speak well and you will never suffer any loss."

"Haha, then I'll thank Sister Qiuju first." Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "However, this time I came back, I didn't go back to the villa. I haven't come home to see my parents yet, and..."

Qiuju smiled and said, "Before you go home, come to the villa first. Xiaohua, the lady really has vision. It doesn't matter. I'll ask Tian Chongxi to give you a month off. Go back and reunite with your parents. It's not too late to meet the villa again."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Qiuju, are you asking me to say it completely?"

Qiuju smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for many years. I'm happy to see the old man in the villa. OK, you said, I won't interrupt."

Zhang Xiaohua said: "Sister Qiuju, after I go home, I don't plan to go back to the villa!"

"What?" Qiuju changed color a little, then smiled bitterly: "Yes, it's normal for the villa to not come back now. It doesn't matter, Xiaohua, just come back to see the old people in the villa if you have time."

Zhang Xiaohua said helplessly: "Sister, didn't you say you wouldn't interrupt?"

Qiu Ju was really not interrupted and didn't answer any more.

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "I plan to go home to see my parents, and then go to find the lady and sister Qiutong."

"Ah?" Qiuju couldn't help but interrupt again and said in surprise: "You... are you really going to find them?"
