How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?

Chapter 112

Xia Chu had just mounted the horse when he saw his second brother getting off the carriage, "Second brother!"

Zhang Zhou came forward and patted the chestnut horse beside her. "Have you chosen?"

"Yeah." Xia Chu nodded.

"Let me take a look." Zhang Zhou led the horse to the side, looked at its belly and hooves, and even rode it for a walk before returning it. "Okay, wait for us in front. I'll pick a horse and come back."

After he finished speaking, he exchanged greetings with Bai Wuxia and the others. He also introduced Zhang Xin and Bai Wuyu, whom he had just met, to each other before going to choose a horse.

"I'll take Da'an and Xiao'an and go first. You guys follow me." Bai Wuyu said and jumped on the horse.

"Da'an, follow me." Xia Chu squatted down and patted Da'an on the back.

When Zhang Zhou and the others caught up, their group stood out. Fortunately, the mountainside was not far away, and there was a carved mountain road.

Walking on the mountain path with green trees, chirping insects and singing birds is refreshing and makes people feel relaxed.

"It's so comfortable here." Lin Lang took a deep breath.

"Well, places with many trees seem to make people feel more comfortable, but I don't know why." Li Yun said.

Of course, it's because nature is an oxygen bar. Trees release oxygen. Lush forests and lush vegetation create higher oxygen concentrations, which makes people feel comfortable. But I can't explain this to others. First, I don't understand the concept of oxygen.

The group did not rush the horses, but instead enjoyed the leisurely stroll through the woods. Unfortunately, not everyone shared their thoughts.

"Get out of the way! My lady wants to go over!" A servant's rude shout came from behind.

"Don't be rude." Another female voice came.

Everyone turned around and saw a purple sedan chair being carried by four strong servants, with two servants leading the way in front and four maids accompanying it. If nothing else, this was quite a grand occasion.

Bai Wuxia looked around for a few moments but couldn't find any obvious family symbols on the sedan. She looked at Li Yun, who also shook her head. But they weren't overbearing people. They were a large group, so if they were blocking the road, they would definitely move aside. But this servant was being too rude. Bai Wuxia immediately asked, "Whose servant are you? How rude!"

"I..." The leading servant was about to speak when the sedan stopped and a woman emerged. Her hair was adorned with pearls and jade, and her purple dress trailed on the ground, making her look elegant and regal. However, her face was rather round, and her eyes were beady, which didn't go with her dress at all, like a child wearing adult clothes. Her heavy makeup also gave her a somewhat unpleasant impression.

The purple-robed woman got out of the car, looked around, and slowly saluted. "Greetings, everyone. I'm sorry for not being able to discipline my servants."

When Zhang Zhou saw that face, his pupils shrank. He tightened the reins around the horse's neck, causing the horse to raise its head and neigh.

The others looked over, and Zhang Zhou came to his senses, "It's okay, let's go."

The girl in purple went ahead, while Xia Chu and the others were still walking slowly behind.

"What's going on?" Xu Shiqing asked quietly.

Zhang Zhou glanced at him and said, "Nothing."

"You don't look okay. Do you recognize that woman?" Xu Shiqing stared at his expression, trying to find some clues.

"We just met once when we were young." Zhang Zhou didn't want to talk about it any more, so he kicked the horse's belly and went forward.

Zhang Zhou did know that woman, and he was deeply impressed, never forgetting her. That day, he sat by the roadside, holding a broken bowl and begging for food from passersby. This woman, who must have been a young girl at the time, also had a grand ceremony, surrounded by people.

Little Zhang Zhou deliberately shrank back at that time, fearing that he would be beaten if he bumped into the noble person.

But even so, the girl had already walked over. Suddenly, she covered her nose and turned back: "How can such a person appear on this street? It stinks! And it's ugly! Drag him away and beat him to death! I don't know what beggars are still doing! It's so dirty! This street is filthy!"

Before Zhang Zhou could react, he was single-handedly picked up by one of the servants and taken to the alley. He then received a beating. He had forgotten the sensation, only remembering the pain, the agony, so intense that he cried and begged for mercy. But the other man had no intention of letting him go, and the young lady remained nearby.

Zhang Zhou was kicked and stepped on, and he felt like he might die. But he still remembered the girl's appearance, a pair of round eyes, and she looked innocent, cute, and beautiful. She was wearing a bright red cloak with a white fur collar, like a fairy. But her words were extremely vicious. "Beat her to death and throw her away, don't pollute Lin'an. Such a beautiful place should not have such dirty things in it."

When the servant saw the young lady leave, he did not do as she wished. Instead, he immediately stopped and said, "Little beggar, I am just following orders. Don't blame me. I didn't want to do this either." After saying this, the man left.

Zhang Zhou lay on the cold ground, but he didn't even have the strength to move.

"Second brother!" Xia Chu's call interrupted Zhang Zhou's recollection. He turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xia Chuben didn't notice it, but Xu Shiqing secretly told her that her second brother seemed to be in trouble. "Second brother, what's wrong with you? You don't look well."

"I remembered some past events, but they are over." Zhang Zhou told himself that it was over, but only he knew whether it was over.

When we reached the farm on the mountainside, the servants at the gate came over to help take the horses away and settle them in. Another maid came over and asked if we wanted to rest or just walk around.

"Let's take a break?" Bai Wuxia turned around and asked.

"Okay, let's take a rest first and have enough energy before playing." Lin Lang responded.

The maid led them to their room. Only Li Yun and Lin Lang brought maids with them. The two maids were also very familiar with each other. After discussing, one went to make tea while the other went to clean up the room.

"I wonder how many people are coming? Did they say when we'll set off?" Lin Lang asked.

"No, but it's probably coming soon. We can eat at noon after hunting, so why not?"

Sure enough, not long after, someone came to inform us that we could set off. He Suoyin stood in the yard. He was wearing a hunting suit today, looking very handsome. He smiled and greeted everyone who came. It seemed that there was no one in the yard that he didn't know.

Xia Chu looked around and didn't see He Suowei, so she breathed a sigh of relief. But she didn't know where Second Brother Bai had gone; he wasn't even in sight. Da'an and Xiao'an weren't around either. Surely Second Brother Bai hadn't taken them hunting without her permission?

Bai Wuyu was right. His horse was different from other horses and could handle the forest without any problems. He was so happy to see the two dogs that he couldn't help but take them for a walk in the woods. Unexpectedly, Da'an went out for a run and came back with a pheasant.
