As soon as the young children met, both sides were silent, sizing up each other secretly.

The half-grown boy lying under the tree did not move, his eyes were closed as if he was asleep.

Only when Xiao Jiu spoke his first words, he opened his eyes and glanced at Xiao Jiu.

"May I ask if Mr. Xiaolang is from the farm?"

It was the first time for these people to be called so, and they had different expressions.

After looking at each other for a moment, the eldest boy finally stood up.

He wiped his hand on the side of his thigh and bowed respectfully, "That's right. I wonder why this gentleman is here?"

Xiao Jiu noticed the children behind the four of them and calmly looked away.

"I am Xiao Jiu, the second master of Xiaojiapu. This is my sister. I wonder who the owner of this farm is?"

"It's the Zhou family in the west city of Xun County."

He did not directly tell the name of the owner, as if saying this would allow Xiao Jiu to understand who owned this farm.

This only proves that the Zhou family is very famous.

Although Xiao Jiu still doesn't know anything about the Zhou family, he should look for the most famous one, and he won't go wrong.

"Thanks for letting me know."

Xiao Jiu nodded, showing his demeanor in every move. They were obviously young men of about the same age, but the contrast between the two was very clear.

Not only in terms of external dress, but also in one’s own demeanor.

The people opposite felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't help but make small movements.

"What are you doing here, young man? Do you have something to do with your master?"

Behind the four people, a young man's clear voice came.

Turning around, he saw that the young man who had just been half asleep stood up and patted his butt, holding a piece of grass in his mouth and lazily leaning against the tree, as if he had no bones, with a smile on his face.

Seeing the other party smiling at him, Xiao Jiu couldn't help but smile, "I just wanted to go and visit him."

"That's how it is."

The young man who was standing against the tree suddenly realized, his eyes were very smart, but he also showed doubts, "The young man was sent here by the elders of the family? That is really unfortunate. The owner of this village has returned to the city recently.

The Central Master has gone to his house, and you have to go into the city to visit."

"That's really unlucky. We have to change the date."

Hearing his name, Xiao Jiu guessed, "Aren't you a child of this village?"

"Well, of course not. I am a child who grew up in this sky and this land."

The young man laughs.

Xiao Jiu understood and smiled, "Me too."

Raise your finger to point to the sky and then to the ground.

"I am born as I am, and grow from the earth."

His speech was quite literary and artistic. The young man couldn't quite understand it, but he could barely guess what he meant. He pretended to be depressed and shook his head, "It's too elegant for me to understand."

Xiao Jiu smiled again, as if helpless and indulgent.

"It doesn't matter," he said unintentionally, "no wonder I saw wheel marks rolling on the ground. It was originally caused by the owner of the farm moving back to the city."

After speaking, he looked at the section of road where they were standing.

The road surface is smooth and clean.

Wubao and Zhoujia Farm are located at the two ends of the herringbone intersection. The wheel marks on the section of the road that the two families walk together are very deep. The wheel marks on Wubao Road become shallower as they get closer to Wubao. This is nothing to worry about.

But compared to the fork in the road that extends to Zhou's farm, it's a bit strange.

It seems that there are more carriages and horses going to and from Wubao every day, but this is the opposite of what the young man said just now.

Xiao Jiu looked back at this section of the road with a calm expression, without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something.

The people across from him couldn't help but feel uneasy, and their hearts beat a little drum.

"Young Master." The young man under the tree called him with his arms folded on his chest, his voice as clear as an oriole, with a hint of the cheerfulness of a young man.

Xiao Jiu turned around and heard the other party teasingly: "Looking at how thin and weak you are, have you not had enough to eat?"

"Do you know what food is coming?"

Several people were surprised.

"Brother! Don't offend the noble man by talking nonsense?!"

Hearing how several people called this young man, Xiao Jiu looked at the person in front of him with a bit of interest in his eyes. He didn't feel offended, but slightly raised the corners of his lips, "I did have a hard time in my early years. At that time, I could only force myself to

I'm just hungry, but I don't know what it feels like to be full."

"Oh? Then this is exactly the same as me. I have never been full before." The young man's face was filled with excitement, as if he had found a like-minded friend.

"What about now? Can you have enough to eat?"

The young man tilted his head, thought for a while, and replied, "Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. At least my life is better than before."

"me too."

Hearing what he said, the young man curled his lips and spit out the grassroots in his mouth with a "bah" sound. He didn't feel that his behavior was vulgar and said boringly: "Then we are different. You are from a wealthy family now."

A good husband, but I am still a young man from Tanabe."

There is a lot of envy and bitterness in his words. They are both husbands, but one is in heaven and the other is on earth.

But after a while, he said with emotion and pride: "Unlike you, I have parents and elders to rely on. I rely on my own ability to make a living, and I rely on my brothers to make a living together."

"I am an orphan, and I have relied on others for food since I was a child. They are not." He smiled and did not feel that his experience was tragic. He raised his chin and pointed to his "brothers" and said proudly: "But

I am their big brother, and because I am better than them, they obey me!"

The young man's thin little face was filled with happiness and pride, and he looked innocent and without any scheming.

Xiao Jiu still had a gentle and calm smile on her face, but the hand behind her was secretly rubbing her thumb.

Children in ancient times were indeed precocious, why don't they just meet a beautiful person right now?

Xiao Jiu asked: "What's your name?"

Sensing that the atmosphere between the two parties had relaxed, the smile on the young man's face became even brighter, and he responded calmly: "My name is A Sheng, and I live forever."

His life is indeed like his name, tough as weeds and surviving tenaciously.

"What a good name." Xiao Jiu asked again, "Do all the fields around here belong to the Zhou family?"

"Yes, but it has been abandoned for several years. Why do you ask?"

He seemed to have no sense of etiquette, nor was he in awe of Xiao Jiu's identity, and his words and deeds were very bold.

Xiao Jiu looked at the huge abandoned field around him and said in silence for a long time: "I want to buy this land."

What he said was not wanting, but wanting!

He must.

Several teenagers let out small exclamations.

The young man named Ah Sheng also had a look on his face. He obviously didn't expect Xiao Jiu to say such bold words. He looked around and saw that there were at least a hundred hectares of fields around him. He raised his eyebrows in surprise, "You want to buy it?"

"Yes." Xiao Jiu said.

"How much to buy?"

"all."

"All?!" Ah Sheng couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, looking at the child in front of him who was the same age as himself, and asked, "Do your adults agree?"

At this time, Xiao Jiu sent Xiao Ying onto the bullock cart.

He stepped on the shaft of the car with one foot and was about to enter the carriage. Hearing this, he turned back and straightened up and said: "There are no elders in the family, only one elder brother. I am the head of the Xiao family - Xiao Jiu."

The calm and gentle voice fell, and several people froze on the spot.

The last extremely profound look, when looking at it, seemed to suck people's entire hearts in, and several people were shocked.

"Master Xiao?" Ah Sheng stared blankly at the back of the oxcart as it left.

"Be a good boy!" Big Eyes's eyes were even wider at this moment, staring like a bull's eye, with a dull expression, "Brother, I seem to be more powerful than you!"

If there are no adults in his family, doesn't it mean that they are raising themselves?

Looking at the Wubao that was about to be completed, we knew that the Xiao family must have some money. Then comparing it with ourselves, how could they not marvel at Xiao Jiu.

"Qi! People say it's true, right? You believe whatever the little brat with hairless hair says." Ah Sheng smoothed his messy hair with disdain on his face.

Looking at him now, he doesn't look like the well-behaved and innocent child he once was. Instead, he looks more like a street gangster.

He is not a well-behaved person to begin with. How can a child who has grown up in the wild and lived to such a big age without some means of survival?

He called to the people around him, "Let's go and pave the way for our noble people."
