[Rat cat] The legend of Lou Xiaochong

Zhan Zhao went out when lighting the lamps, and when he came back to the inn, the night was already dark.Gently pushing the door open, the first thing he saw was the lamp on the table.

The light was enveloped by colored paper, and sprinkled warmly on the table, illuminating the cups, dishes and dishes in a circle.

Bypassing the screen, there were splashes of wet water on the ground.Bai Yutang probably worked hard with him these few days, and he had already fallen asleep, lying on the edge of the bed, with his arms crossed and his feet upright, most of the quilt slipped off.Sure enough, even sleeping looks are so informal.Zhan Zhao walked over with light steps, bent slightly, picked up the quilt with his left hand, and prepared with his right hand——

In his dream, Bai Yutang was alarmed by someone approaching, and he tried to draw the knife with his backhand, but was held down.

Zhan Zhao secretly smiled, and waited for him to make another move—who knows that after waiting for a few breath adjustments, Bai Yutang didn't respond at all, and just fell asleep again.Zhan Zhao touched his nose, shook the quilt to cover him firmly, and turned around to eat dinner.He was really hungry.

Just now, he just glanced at it briefly, now he will look carefully at the food on the plate, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but smile——

The sweet-scented osmanthus cake was originally a plate of six, but three were eaten, and the remaining three were used as a gatehouse, and a purple grape picked from the fruit plate was placed on it; the steamed egg was originally a round plate It was served in it, and it was dug into a yin-yang fish, and the lines were drawn very smoothly, as expected, it is worthy of being a master with a knife; the rice was originally a big round bowl, but now it has been cut into horizontal and vertical grids; Compared to these, the main dish of steamed carp was eaten cleanly, which is simply a blessing from its previous life.

It really left half of it for Zhan.Zhan Zhao sat down, took out his chopsticks, and brought out a note by the way, instructing him to call the kitchen to redo the food if it got cold, and Bai Wuye would buy it.It was late at this time, Zhan Zhao was used to walking around the rivers and lakes, and he didn't want to disturb others, so he took the note and planned to eat.But for some reason, he suddenly remembered the way Bai Yutang called him "go early and return early" before leaving the house, and he also thought: before he left the house, Wuxia Bai seemed to be eating - the tip of bamboo shoots?

Zhan Zhao was amused by the "half portion of food" left by Bai Yutang, so he lifted the tablecloth and searched through the curtains.Sure enough, I found two empty small plates and a set of jugs and cups.It seems that Bai Yutang also filled his stomach to relieve his anxiety, and he came here only after having a lot of fun.He shook his head and smiled, and had a full meal first.After dinner, Zhan Zhao took off his outer robe, and gently climbed over Bai Yutang into the bed. This time, Bai Yutang just turned over and muttered twice, and didn't move any more.

Fortunately, the bed in this inn is big enough and there are enough quilts.Even though Bai Wuye spent most of the night kicking and beating him vertically, Zhan Zhao stuck him against the wall to avoid them all and got a good night's sleep.

The next morning, I was full of energy.

Bai Wuye went to bed early and woke up early.He opened his eyes early in the morning, looked at Zhan Zhao who was almost embedded in the wall beside him, stretched himself, and got up to make room for him.

The first thing Bai Wuye did after waking up was to check how much Zhan Zhao had eaten.It's okay, I basically ate it all, even if there were three or two grains of rice on the rim of the bowl, and some shredded ginger was left on the carp plate.Basically satisfied, Bai Wuye quietly took the knife and went out to exercise in the yard.

Half an hour after Zhan Zhao got up, he was woken up by the waiter's loud voice.

Irrelevant rights and wrongs are better not to cause trouble, Zhan Zhao thought so, grabbed his casual clothes and draped them over his shoulders, and opened the door to have a look.Sure enough, it was Bai Yutang, holding the knife and leaning against the pillar of the porch, being scolded there, his face was so cold that it was about to freeze--it turned out that he ran to the yard to practice the knife, and a wealthy businessman who had been employed for a whole month thought that this house There were too many people from all walks of life in the inn. They paid the rent early in the morning and left.

"Brother Bai, don't argue with others—" Zhan Zhao just opened his mouth, when Bai Yutang looked up at him and walked over.

"Come out and talk in such a little!" Bai Yutang raised his hand, pushed Zhan Zhao's shoulder to push him back into the room, and closed the door behind his back, "It rained a little in the middle of the night, and it's cold outside."

Zhan Zhao smiled: "It's not so easy to catch a cold." When he wanted to say something more, he saw Bai Yutang just put down his knife and went to pack his luggage without saying a word.

It wasn't until the package was tied and a big knot was tied that Bai Yutang spoke again: "Bai Yutang said that he wouldn't do anything with ordinary people—Master Zhan doesn't believe it, does he?"

how could be!Zhan Zhao smiled wryly, and he just said it casually, without any deep meaning, so why did he make this Fifth Grandpa think so deeply.

But Bai Yutang, even though he was in a bad mood, was quick to do things. He paid the bill and checked out, led the horse out of the trough, and did it all in one go—and even made up a small ingot of silver to the shopkeeper as an apology for the rich businessman with a cold face. Looking at Yinzi and then at this master's face, he didn't dare to say a word of nonsense.

Going on the road, riding horses, there are no difficulties and chores, and the journey is smooth.

Passing by a village at noon, Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang to stop and tiptoe, Bai Yutang silently reined in the reins and got off the horse, remembering to gather the extra gray-haired mares together and let them graze and rest go.

Zhan Zhao bought some dry food from the farmer's aunt - all the men in the family went to work in the fields outside the village and returned at dusk, and the women in the family did not light a fire for cooking at noon in order to save money, so there was no hot food for him .For this reason, the aunt is still full of guilt: I haven't seen such a decent and kind young man in many years.

After receiving the rations, Bai Yutang took a few bites, and suddenly said, "Did you explain to that county master about the incident the day before yesterday?"

In fact, it is not very clear.Zhan Zhao is not a scheming person, not long after entering the officialdom, after talking with Nazhi County, although he laughed and talked, he was very tired.But it could only be like this for a while, he decided to go back to Kaifeng Mansion and report to Master Bao.

Bai Yutang listened to Zhan Zhao's explanation, and glanced at him: "Every time I hear you talking about your lord, it's like talking about your own father."

Zhan Zhao just ate dry food with a smile and didn't answer.Parents left early, in his mind, Mr. Bao was honest and fair, and treated him kindly and considerately - if Bai Yutang insisted on thinking that way, there was nothing wrong with it.But he didn't want to bring up this topic in front of Bai Yutang, because Bai Yutang's parents were both dead, and he heard that his elder brother's death a few years ago had hit him hard, so why bother to say this to make him sad.

Eat enough and go on the road, chat if you have something to do, and chat if you have nothing to do, stay overnight when it gets dark, and continue on the road when it gets light.In this way, after three days, in the early morning of the fourth day, I saw the tower of Kaifeng Mansion right before my eyes.

"It's convenient to be with Mr. Zhan. You don't need to be interrogated when you enter the door, right?" Bai Yutang pulled the horse and walked to the gate of the city. Looking at the people who were carrying burdens and holding children, waiting tens of feet away for inspection, he thought of himself. When I came to the capital last time, I felt a little emotional.

Zhan Zhao smiled, and was about to speak, but out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat walking steadily towards the two of them.

The man approached and stood still, pushed up the bamboo hat three inches: "Fifth brother."

"...Second brother!" Bai Yutang dropped the reins of the horse and jumped on him, "So you are here!"

Han Zhang caught the fifth brother and patted him: "I'm worried about you, so I've been waiting here."

"Second brother, you're so kind. You didn't go back to the island. I thought I'd never see you again!" Bai Yutang said as he took out a fireworks tube from his pocket, "Look, I've always carried it with me. I still want to see you!" Just in case, let it out and have a look as if you have the second brother by your side."

"Stupid fifth brother, what do you mean 'what if'? With the second elder brother here, I won't let you suffer those grievances." Han Zhang patted the fifth younger brother, pulled him behind him, and raised his face at Zhan Zhao, "This The person must be the famous fourth-rank guard Yumao with a sword who has been prosperous all the way? It’s just Han Zhang, the second little mouse in the empty island, who came here today for nothing but one thing——I Fifth brother is still young, I taught him to come to Kaifeng mansion to play tricks, no matter what he does, please come to me as an adult!"

"Second brother!" Bai Yutang was in a hurry, one person should do the other thing, his second brother is nothing.

Han Zhang frowned, and held down the five brothers: "Everything is going wrong, and it's still going on!"

"Second Hero Han—" Zhan Zhao glanced around, and there were already bored people queuing up looking over here, "May I take a step to speak?"

A moment later, I took a step outside the city walls.

Han Zhang folded his hands and sneered: "Master Zhan, you mean that not only may my fifth brother be fine, but he might even get a reward?" He looked up at the sky, "I'm sorry, I'm a mediocre person who only knows how to roam freely in the rivers and lakes. Fun, being an official and receiving rewards, Mr. Zhan is good at it, but I dare not accompany you."

"Second brother! I just went with him to settle the case, and I will sell it to the government without saying anything!" Bai Yutang listened to the meaning of the second brother's words, and was extremely disdainful of joining the public family, lest he think that he was also greedy for wealth. Heart, hastily distinguish.

"What do you know, those officials, they always say the same thing once they turn their faces! You refused to agree to that big man, and you carried the guillotine out with your back foot!"

"Second Hero Han!" Zhan Zhao couldn't help interjecting, "Master Bao is definitely not that kind of person, Zhan is willing to guarantee his head! It's just..."

"Just what?" Han Zhang squinted at Zhan Zhao, so many twists and turns.

Zhan Zhao glanced at Bai Yutang: "It's just that this matter is related to the royal family, so it has to be decided long live. Zhan... If he says that it's [-]% all right, he's deceiving the two heroes."

"Oh? So, do you want to see the emperor?" Han Zhang suddenly smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, "That's fine, I can't see you, this case ends here, I will take the fifth brother away, and you can solve the rest... "

As soon as Han Zhang said that, he went to pull Bai Yutang to leave, and Zhan Zhao hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Second Hero Han wait a minute—you said you can't see Wansui, what's going on?"

"Your Long Live Lord?" Han Zhang turned his head away, not looking at anyone, "You are very ill, how can you still have the energy to take care of these chores!"
