Start with planting a tree

It was another early morning, the sky was bright and the air was clear, and the wind was breezy.

Meng Heyin got up early in the morning, and after some tidying up, she begged the maids to let her go out.After various hints that she was going to thank Wang Xiao, she managed to avoid the company of the maid and left the courtyard alone.

Meng Heyin followed the route he remembered yesterday and headed towards the East Courtyard.

The boy's words yesterday caught her attention. The person who can make Wang Xiao feel wronged in his own territory is definitely not an ordinary person.

If they could unite with this person, wouldn't it be easy to kill Wang Xiao?

The City Lord's Mansion occupies a huge area, and there are servants everywhere in the mansion, so she can't be too conspicuous.

So Meng Heyin walked for a long time before finally reaching the gazebo she had seen yesterday, when she suddenly heard Bai Zhuzi shouting in her mind: "Wait!"

Meng Heyin stood still in fright and almost fell off the corridor.

"what happened?"

"I feel a familiar breath."

Meng Heyin frowned, and asked nonsense: "What familiar breath?"

Bai Zhuzi was silent for a moment, as if recalling: "I don't know, but the source of the breath is in the east."

Meng Heyin didn't hesitate, and continued to walk towards the east courtyard, thinking in his mind.

When she was in Baibei Mountain before, Baizhuzi also said that there was a very powerful aura in the cave, but after she and Mingrong entered the cave, they only saw the boundless darkness, and that powerful thing disappeared without a trace.

Later, the bandits came back, and Mingrong also came, and shot a cold arrow at her, and she was injured and passed out.Could it be...

Ming Rong stole the treasure and wanted her life!

Meng Heyin was very angry, and asked Bai Zhuzi: "Is this kind of breath the treasure you mentioned before!"

If this is really the case, then the people in the East Courtyard are clearly visible. If this is the case, they will all be killed here!

But Bai Zhuzi replied: "No, it's a bit close, but definitely not."

"Huh?" Meng Heyin was puzzled.

"The aura in that cave is much stronger, but the aura here is similar but very weak. It's like... the difference between the sun and an egg."

After Baizhuzi finished explaining, Meng Heyin gritted his teeth and rolled his eyes.

Does it know what it's talking about?

The sun and eggs are very similar?The difference between them is like heaven and earth!In this way, the people in the east courtyard must have nothing to do with the cave.

Knowing that it wasn't Mingrong, Meng Heyin didn't know whether he was more disappointed or more fortunate.

What they didn't know was that Meng Heyin ruled out the correct answer in the first place because of Bai Zhuzi's metaphor that was too heaven-defying.

Meng Heyin seemed to be strolling in the courtyard, but he had already slipped outside the gate of the east courtyard without anyone noticing. He only needed to take a few steps forward, and he would be able to see what the courtyard looked like.

She seemed to have smelled the fragrance of her friends and seen the dawn of victory.

At this moment, a dissatisfied voice came from behind.

"Miss Meng, why are you here?"

Holding the door handle of success, Meng Heyin turned around in confusion, and finally recognized the face of the speaker in the ecstasy of his heart. Who else could it be if it wasn't Wang Xiao?

Meng Heyin asked: Bai Zhuzi, why didn't you remind me again?

Bai Zhuzi replied: You are excited, so am I!

"King... City Lord?"

Meng Heyin quickly entered the scene, switching to an innocent and shy look.

Wang Xiao stepped forward and pulled her wrist, and asked, "You haven't answered me yet, why are you here?"

She lowered her head a little more, as if she was embarrassed and said: "I haven't seen the city lord since I came back. I wanted to thank the city lord in person. I heard that the city lord lives in the east courtyard, so I groped my way here."

Seeing some doubts in Wang Xiao's eyebrows, she added: "Is it because I have come to a place I shouldn't have come?"

As she said this, her fingers twisted nervously, as if she was very worried about being blamed by Wang Xiao.

Seeing her like this, Wang Xiao's heart almost melted, and he didn't have time to think carefully, so he took her hand and walked back.

"You have a heart, but this place is dangerous. I don't live here. If you want to find me in the future, you have to go to the main courtyard. I'll take you to have a look..."

Meng Heyin walked obediently with him, but his ears were paying attention to the movement in the yard behind, there were small sounds of stomping on the ground, the sound of gnawing things, and the... whining sounds that belonged to small animals?

When the crisp whine came into his mind, Meng Heyin was full of question marks.

Wang Xiao also heard the cry, and said awkwardly but politely: "Look, there are fierce beasts in the courtyard..."

Meng Heyin nodded feignedly, giving him a blank look in his heart.

When she is stupid?

This is called a beast?

Can there be a beast that screams "Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" in this world?

Curious about the little beast that could only "ooooo", Meng Heyin followed Wang Xiao to the main courtyard.

In the second before stepping into the yard, Meng Heyin would not have expected how outrageous things would happen later.

As we all know, objective things will not be shifted by people's will, and what should happen will always happen.

Therefore, the first scene Meng Heyin saw when he first entered the courtyard was a dozen women tied up, full of resentment and grievance mixed in the crying and tears.

What really frightened Meng Heyin was that these women worked together and managed to free up a hand somehow to dig out a piece of mud from the flowerbed in the courtyard.

As soon as Meng Heyin entered the yard, a ball of mud the size of her palm flew towards her head!Her body wanted to hide, but her consciousness didn't allow it!

"Snapped--"

The mud balls were broken up and crumbled into a piece of dust on the ground.

Meng Heyin stiffened his neck and squeezed out a stiff smile to Wang Xiao: "Thank you, City Lord Wang."

In the end, Wang Xiao reacted in time and blocked the mud ball before it hit Meng Heyin's face.

The servant guarding these women came out from behind. Seeing this situation, his face turned pale with fright.

"City Master, the villain is just..."

"No need to explain." Wang Xiao tried his best to suppress his voice, no matter how he heard it, there was a feeling of gnashing of teeth, "Didn't I ask you to send these rescued women home? Why are they still here?"

Those women were also shocked. They were kidnapped by officers and soldiers to the city lord's mansion, and the manager sent them directly to the main courtyard. They took it for granted that the new city lord did this.But when the city lord said this, could it be that they misunderstood?

The boy didn't know why, so he let out an "ah", his eyes turned back and forth between the gloomy Wang Xiao and Meng Heyin, and then he reacted suddenly.

"Yes, yes, yes! The villain delayed the matter, and the villain will send them back immediately."

After finishing speaking, the servant took the rope and led the group of people out of the yard.Before leaving, the women said a few words of thanks to Wang Xiao, nodded and bowed, very polite.

Meng Heyin saw the tears on the faces of those women, but they still wanted to thank the culprit for their kind words, and felt that the situation in this world was extremely ironic.

But the situation in front of her forced her to continue to endure.

She took Wang Xiao's hand and followed Wang Xiao in carefully.
