Cang Huang Ji one of the overlord supreme

The Shen family's old house near the water in the east of the town has a history of hundreds of years.From the outside, except for the slightly larger scale, the white walls and black tiles are no different from other buildings next to it.In fact, the Shen family no longer lived here when Shen Youhuai's great-grandfather, leaving only some honest and elderly slaves here to watch over.

Although Shen Xiaolin came from a wealthy family, he is frugal in nature and always hates extravagance. After resigning from office and returning to his hometown, he only slightly refurbished and did not make too many modifications, so the old house basically maintained its original appearance and layout. .

Looking in from the tall gate is a patio, with a pond in the middle for fish farming, various bonsai arrays, birds chirping, and lush flowers and trees.On both sides are two-story brick and wood structures, which are connected with the hall at the rear to form a concave character. There are two rows of rooms on the upper and lower sides, and the corridor runs through.Passing through the courtyard, you will find the hall with simple and elegant furnishings. The word "Renhe" on the hall is said to be written by the second generation owner of the Shen family.In the middle hall hangs ancient couplets and small calligraphy and painting screens.At this moment, there are two people sitting and playing chess under the porch in front of the hall, it is the host Shen Youhuai and the guest Wu Ming.

It has been more than ten days since Wu Ming was "dragged" by Shen Youhuai to visit Shen's house, but since the second day of his arrival, it has been raining continuously.Encountering this kind of fatal moldy rainy weather, the original travel plan can only be postponed again and again. No matter how active the two young people are, they don't want to go up and down the mountain in the rainy day and make themselves look like refugees fleeing.So I just sigh that the heaven is not beautiful, helpless.

Maybe Wu Ming was the only one who was helpless. Although it was a pity for Shen Youhuai that he couldn't go out with his new friends, it was not bad at home, and it was rainy for days, which was the best excuse to keep Wu Ming.Looking at his friend tapping on the chessboard opposite, and thinking of how these two people were almost inseparable day and night these days, Shen Youhuai felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Pregnant?"

Such a call suddenly came from his ears, and Shen Youhuai came back to his senses immediately.

Wu Ming looked displeased, and said: "What good thing is so happy, why don't you tell me to make me happy too?"

Wu Ming has lived in Shen's house for many days, and the two of them get along day and night, and they are both young at heart. Under the "like-for-like" friendship, their friendship has long gone beyond ordinary, and they have stopped calling each other by their first names.

Knowing that he was distracted, Shen Youhuai quickly calmed down and said: "It's nothing, please continue."

Wu Ming said, "Who will continue?"

Shen Youhuai was stunned for a moment, looked down for a long time, and then quickly picked up a black chess piece from the chess box next to him. While he was still thinking about how to make this move, Wu Ming on the opposite side suddenly stood up.

Shen Youhuai looked up at him blankly, and seeing him happily said, "The rain has stopped!"

what?

Shen Youhuai hurriedly followed his gaze, and sure enough, the light rain that was still pattering down through the patio did not know when it stopped.Is it when you are in a daze?Shen Youhuai thought to himself a little depressed, and said casually: "Yeah, why did you stop?"

Wu Ming rolled his eyes, turned and left.Shen Youhuai shouted behind him: "The chess game hasn't finished yet, what are you doing?"

Wu Ming said without turning his head: "Go back to the room and pack your things."

Shen Youhuai was dumbfounded, threw away the chess pieces in his hand and followed, and said while walking: "It's too late today, it's almost dark, if the weather is fine tomorrow, let's go out to play again."

Wu Ming walked into the guest room where he was staying, and was thinking about what things needed to be cleaned up, when he heard this, he said angrily, "Who said you're going to play?"

Shen Youhuai said: "Then why are you packing up?"

Wu Ming gave him a sideways look, and didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of guy who knew what he was asking. He opened the cabinet, took a small bundle and put it on the table. When he opened it, there were several sets of replacement clothes and a few pieces of silver. After examining it, he thought again. After thinking that he needed to add something, he felt unusually quiet behind him. Looking back, Shen Youhuai was staring at him blankly. The expression on his face made Wu Ming suddenly think of the six "abandoned big dogs". large characters.

Seeing that he was being noticed again, Shen Youhuai walked over without saying a word and sat down on the stool next to him, his eyes fixed on Wu Ming's baggage on the table in front of him. He snatched his burden and set it on fire.

Seeing this scene, Wu Ming felt dumbfounded, and said, "Brother, are you a child? I really can't stand you."

Shen Youhuai didn't speak, Wu Ming had no choice but to say again: "There is always a banquet in the world, you should understand this truth."

Shen Youhuai curled her lips in disdain and said, "You have nothing to do, besides, you have nowhere to go. What's the point of leaving in such a hurry!"

Wu Ming raised his voice impatiently and said, "Then I can't live in your house forever, can I?"

Shen Youhuai protested, "Why not?"

This guy's voice was actually higher than his own, and Wu Ming rubbed his temples with some headaches.

Shen Youhuai stared at his every move, and suddenly asked: "Are we good brothers?"

Seeing his unprecedented serious expression, Wu Ming put down his hands, sighed and nodded.

Shen Youhuai said: "That's it. Amin, listen to me, since we are good brothers, mine is yours, and my home is your home. You have nowhere to go now, why do you have to be in such a hurry Are you leaving? Could it be that the older brother has neglected you? Or..."

Wu Ming shook his head again and again, not knowing what to say to the guy in front of him. Hearing this, he immediately retorted: "How do you know I have nowhere to go? I'm going to Shanxi."

Shen Youhuai didn't speak up immediately, but after a pause, he said, "What are you doing there?"

Wu Mingdao: "Traveling in mountains and rivers, visiting relatives and friends."

Shen Youhuai sat silently for a long while with his head bowed, then suddenly jumped up and said, "Okay, let's do it like this!"

Wu Ming was taken aback by him, and said angrily, "What are you doing?"

Shen Youhuai smiled, as if he was a different person from the one just now, and said with a smile: "I'll go with you."

Wu Ming thought he heard it wrong, and asked, "What?"

Shen Youhuai said: "Go to Shanxi with you."

Wu Ming said: "What are you going to do?"

Shen Youhuai said: "How can you rest assured as a brother who is away from home at a young age? Since you must go, of course I can only accompany you."

Wu Ming couldn't help but said: "Your young master is not at home to enjoy the blessings, why are you just joining in the fun?"

Shen Youhuai said eloquently: "We agreed to have the same blessings and share the hardships, have you forgotten? Since you don't want to enjoy the blessings, I am naturally too embarrassed to enjoy them alone." Without waiting for the other party to reply, he said: "Oh, I I see, you are afraid that I will drag you down, right? Don't worry about this, I am not an ordinary person, by the way, you should know that I know martial arts, why do you still think that I..."

For so many days, Wu Ming had of course seen Shen Youhuai practicing martial arts every morning, and he also knew that he looked elegant, but he was not weak at all.But to be honest, his two-handed sleight of hand is not up to the standard of performing in the rivers and lakes!Alas, what a brat who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth!Immediately interrupted him impatiently: "Please don't run around with me, okay?"

Shen Youhuai retorted with a straight face: "I did it to protect you! And I'm so old, why not go out and see and travel?"

This guy actually asked a rhetorical question? !What kind of experience and travel, what a hell!Wu Ming was a little restless, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, then let me ask you, Uncle Shen, what happened to you after you arrived in Shanxi?"

Shen Youhuai was stunned for a moment, and said: "After we go, we will come back naturally."

Wu Mingdao: "What do we mean? I won't come back."

Shen Youhuai was finally a little surprised and said, "Are you planning to settle in Shanxi?"

Wu understood him with a glance, and said: "After going to Shanxi, I plan to go to Hebei. Are you going to follow me to Hebei again? Then I have to go outside the customs. Are you going to follow me too? I have traveled all over the world. For the family, do you also have this preparation?"

Shen Youhuai looked at him blankly, obviously his mind was in a state of chaos.Wu Ming didn't pay attention to him anymore, and packed his things on his own.

Shen Youhuai stood beside him for a while, and then walked out without saying a word.

Hearing the sound of the door being closed, Wu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and said two words angrily: "Fool!"

After all this fuss, it was already dark. Anyway, Wu Ming didn't intend to leave today, so he packed up his simple things and prepared to leave early tomorrow morning.It has been so many days, no matter whether the weather will change tomorrow or not, it cannot be delayed any longer.Wu Ming secretly decided in his heart.

Shen Youhuai didn't show up at dinner, and the maid who served said that the uncle had something to ask the guests to eat first. Wu Ming guessed that Shen Youhuai was trying to get angry with him, so he felt a little helpless and a little funny.

Wu Ming actually liked being with Shen Youhuai very much in his heart.Shen Youhuai has a wide range of classics and history collections, is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, with him by his side, the day always flies by, and there will be no boring moments at all.Thinking that the two of them have always had a very happy relationship, Wu Ming hesitated whether he should go to comfort him. Anyway, he was bothering him at his house for so many days, and he was so warm and thoughtful to him as a guest.After thinking about it, I finally gave up.I have to go on the road early tomorrow morning, so it's better to rest early.

That night Wu Ming hurriedly ate and played dinner alone, then went back to his room and went to bed early.

Early the next morning, Wu Ming didn't see Shen Youhuai until after breakfast, did he just leave without saying goodbye?That fool can't really be so awkward.Wu Ming shook his head and sighed.

At this time, an old man with gray beard and hair in his 50s came into the room to salute and say hello.Wu Ming stayed in Shen's house for so long and knew that this old man's surname was Zhang. He was the old housekeeper of Shen's house. He had served Shen Youhuai's grandfather. In this house, even Shen Youhuai, the young master, respectfully called him Grandpa Zhang when he saw him. He smiled and stood up to greet him.

The old butler Zhang said politely: "The horses are already waiting at the door, will Mr. Wu set off now?"

Wu Ming was stunned, wondering if I had come to drive me away before I said I would leave?But he knew in his heart that Shen Youhuai must have ordered it.For Shen Youhuai who cared so much about his leaving, Wu Ming only felt helpless, no matter how he said it was impossible for him to stay at a friend's house all the time.I thought it would be good if he figured it out overnight after playing a prank, but he didn't expect that guy to be so angry, not at all gentle and reasonable as usual.

Is he really no longer ready to take care of himself?Could it be that the friendship of so many days is over?Wu Ming also began to feel a little uncomfortable.Even so, he has always been proud and arrogant, without showing his face, he thanked him with a smile, and he didn't hesitate at all when he went out.
