A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 57 Enemies meet on a narrow road
It is said that at dusk that day, after Shen Mizhi had that incident on the street, she felt as if she had eaten a fly, feeling disgusted and angry!

After returning home, she first beat and scolded Qiu Hen, then locked herself in her boudoir and sulked, not letting anyone in and not even going to eat dinner.

Qiu Hen was beaten and scolded, but he didn't dare to try to persuade them.

Ma Chunmin saw that something was wrong, so she called Qiu Hen over. When she asked him, Qiu Hen burst into tears and told her in detail what she had seen.

This is why Ma Chunmin prepared the banquet to entertain Duan Rong!

Ma Chunmin thought Shen Mizhi was frightened, so she didn't disturb her. She wanted her to calm down by herself, and just asked someone to send her a bowl of lotus seed soup!

Shen Mizhi was sulking all night, and the next day she still felt suffocated and filled with hatred!
So he made an appointment with Xia Shuangshuang from Yunshui Bank early in the morning, and the two of them rode a green-maned horse each and went for an outing in the suburbs!

Shen Mizhi played all day and sweated a lot. She finally felt refreshed. As soon as she returned to the mansion, she heard that the flower hall had prepared a banquet to entertain Duan Rong.

At first, she didn't know who Duan Rong was, and she didn't think about her own affairs.

It was quite interesting. While wiping the sweat off his face, he asked Qiu Hen!
As soon as Qiu Hen explained, Shen Mizhi's face changed immediately. She almost rushed over to beat up the little thief who flirted with her and kicked him out of the door!

After all, she was calm by nature and knew that if she rushed over like this and the matter was exposed, her innocent reputation would be ruined!

But that little thief just molested her in order to save others!
This was also the thing she could not accept the most, as if she deserved to be molested.

Shen Mizhi chopped down the washbasin stand in front of her with a sword, splashing water all over the floor, scaring Qiu Hen so much that he jumped back!
Fortunately, Shen Mizhi suppressed her impulse. She turned around and ran out of the county government office angrily, then went to Xia Mansion to find Xia Shuangshuang.

But Xia Shuangshuang was dragged to the suburbs by her. After a day of playing, she was already exhausted like a pile of mud. She only played two games of chess with her before she couldn't stand it anymore, so she wrapped herself in the quilt and fell asleep...

Shen Mizhi was helpless, and hearing the night watchman's beating on the street outside, it was already the hour of Xu.

She thought the banquet was about to end, so she left the Xia Mansion and walked back alone with a lot on her mind.

Just as Shen Mizhi stepped over the threshold of the county government office and walked into the light, she suddenly saw a man walking out of the path beside the government office lobby, holding a dim lantern in his hand.

The man seemed a little tipsy, and he walked unsteadily, humming a little tune as he walked.

The bright yellow light from the lantern shone on his face.

If it’s not that thief, then who else could it be?
Shen Mizhi stood there, trembling all over as if she had been electrocuted!

She wanted so badly to draw her sword and chop down the reckless scoundrel in front of her!

Duan Rong walked out holding a lantern. He vaguely saw a person standing in the shadow of the lamp next to the yamen. However, the light from the lantern was a little dazzling, and the person was standing in the shadow of the lamp.

Duan Rong didn't care. He burped, hobbled, walked around the man, crossed the threshold of the county government office, and turned into the street.

Duan Rong had just walked out of the county government office and had not taken two steps when a cold wind suddenly blew past, and Duan Rong sobered up immediately.

He suddenly thought of the man in the shadow of the lamp next to the yamen. He couldn't see the man clearly in the shadow of the lamp, but the sword in the man's hand was illuminated by the light at the entrance of the yamen.

That sword... why did he feel that it looked familiar... as if he had seen it somewhere before...

"Tasseled sword tassel, dark red snakeskin scabbard..."

"It's that... little bitch!"

"I'm a good boy..."

Duan Rong suddenly recalled the scene: the pair of slender hands holding the dark red snakeskin scabbard, the knuckles had been clenched to the point of turning slightly white!
Obviously in a rage!
Duan Rong was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He shrank his head and looked behind him, only to see that no one was chasing him outside the yamen.

Duan Rong immediately broke into a run, the lantern in his hand shaking as if it were hit by a violent storm.

Duan Rong went into the nearest dark alley and rushed into the night towards Yuanshun Escort Agency...

Shen Mizhi was already trembling with anger, and then she smelled the unpleasant smell of burps floating around her...

She endured for a few breaths, and her emotions finally reached the critical point... Shen Mizhi suddenly turned around like an angry lioness and rushed out of the yamen!
If I don't beat you, your father won't be able to recognize you, and I'll be sorry for that disgusting face of yours!
But when Shen Mizhi rushed out, the West Street at the time of Xu was already empty, with only two night watchmen walking past the county government gate with their necks shrunk...

Shen Mizhi felt full of grievances. She stomped her feet and tears immediately flowed down her face!

Shen Mizhi returned to her own boudoir in a daze.

She stood there, looking at the mulberry tree in the yard. The tree would produce mulberries in the summer, which tasted delicious!
She has always liked eating mulberries, so she has always taken good care of this mulberry tree and often asked Qiu Hen to water and fertilize it!
At this moment, Shen Mizhi was looking at the mulberry tree illuminated by the dim light. Suddenly, she went crazy and drew her sword and chopped wildly!
Shen Mizhi's figure moved swiftly and abruptly, flashing left and right. The long sword in her hand shone with a cold light like water, dancing wildly along with her figure.

"Little thief!"

"You didn't even look at me!"

"How dare you burp so badly in front of me!"

"I will skin you alive sooner or later!"

The sword flashed with cold light, and the branches and leaves of the mulberry tree immediately fell to the ground as if they had been ravaged by a violent storm...

Shen Mizhi's hands were shaking unconsciously as she chopped like this!

Shen Mizhi was panting, looking at the dead branches and leaves on the ground in front of her, and finally let out some of the pent-up anger in her chest...

She knew in her heart that she was torturing herself!

Just like those few years when she started to understand things after her mother left!
She sheathed her sword, turned around and went back to her boudoir, lying on the bed sulking.

As soon as Shen Mizhi lay down, Qiu Hen came in with a blanket, ready to sleep on the floor...

This is also part of the daily routine of a personal maid. If the lady wants to drink water or something at night, she has to get up at any time to serve her.

As soon as Qiu Hen put the quilt in place, Shen Mizhi turned sideways, stared at Qiu Hen with a pair of fierce almond eyes, and scolded: "Get out and go to sleep! I'm annoyed when I see you now!"

Qiu Hen felt aggrieved after being scolded for no reason. He went to the main room sobbing and hugged the quilt to sleep.

It was not unreasonable for Shen Mizhi to blame Qiu Hen. If Qiu Hen hadn't dropped the queue sign, so many troubles wouldn't have happened, and she wouldn't have been taken advantage of by that little thief for nothing.

And if she hadn't been nosy, there wouldn't have been such a thing as hosting a banquet for Duan Rong!
Now, she was still enduring the pain and was filled with anger, so how could she be nice to Qiu Hen?

Yuanshun Escort Agency, in a remote charcoal yard in the outer courtyard.

This is where the menial disciples practice their skills.

However, this year's assessment of menial disciples has ended, and the next batch of menial disciples will not be recruited until after the Lantern Festival in the first month of next year.

The courtyard, which was supposed to be empty, now had a person standing in the Hunyuan Stance!

The dim sunset light fell on his face, his whole body was covered in sweat, and there was steam rising from his head!

The man standing still had broad shoulders and a sturdy frame. He was actually the apprentice escort Kong Bin!
Ever since Kong Bin was almost devastated by Duan Rong's progress last time, he no longer went to the martial arts field to practice.

As soon as he met Duan Rong, he felt that his own martial arts practice was simply a joke.

But he also knew in his heart that the abnormal one was actually Duan Rong, not him!

Everyone understands the principle, but when it comes to the point, who wouldn't be confused?

Later, Kong Bin no longer practiced in the martial arts field. Instead, he preferred to walk a few more steps to the remote courtyard in the front yard to practice.

In this way, my state of mind was indeed much calmer, and my progress in the first level of inner energy also gradually accelerated!
It was already dusk and it was time for lunch in the middle courtyard.

Kong Bin stopped practicing, walked out of the courtyard from the corner gate, and went to the cafeteria in the middle courtyard.
