Become a cat [Zhan Zhao]

The rain will come every now and then. Sometimes it will be a shower with thunder and lightning, and sometimes it will be a drizzle and a patter.Because summer and autumn are the rainy time in the Central Plains, not only the weather is hot, but also cloudy and sunny, which is very annoying.In the early morning of the beginning of autumn, there was another rainstorm. The howling wind almost knocked off the roof, and the deafening thunderstorms struck down one after another, illuminating the originally dark night with snow.

After that, the rain stopped for another three to five days before a sunny day came after the continuous rainy days.

Zhan Zhao and Alan set off on the road on this day.Although the weather was bad a few days ago, Ah Lan just stayed in the inn to recuperate, but he was not affected, and his body recovered quickly.A few days later, when the doctor came to see her again, he stroked the strands of white beard on his chin and nodded repeatedly, telling Zhan Zhao that the little girl had recovered.Although I walked through the ghost gate once, but if I survive a catastrophe, there will be blessings in the future.

Zhan Zhao then thanked the doctor generously, and politely sent the old man away.On the second day, they simply packed their luggage and set foot on the road south.

In the beginning, Zhan Zhao also thought about teaching A Lan to ride a horse, or simply renting a carriage to use as foot strength, so that he could travel faster.But looking at Alan's short stature, and thinking of the hardships he had to go through every night from midnight to noon, he had no choice but to give up this idea.

"You pack your luggage, we'll walk all the way there, and it'll be a workout for you." Zhan Zhao told Ah Lan like this, with seriousness in mind.

Alan nodded hurriedly, still feeling very reasonable in her heart.

In this way, the days on the road will be extended a lot.However, Zhan Zhao on the road will use the afternoon to casually teach A Lan some rules of the world, so as to prepare her for apprenticeship.Before resting in the evening, he would also point out Alan's stick technique. If it was a rainy day, he could change to read and write.

Ah Lan has indeed endured hardships, and he never complains of being tired even when he travels through mountains and rivers with his luggage on his back.She even took the time to weave a small bamboo basket, which is usually placed on top of the suitcase cage she carries on her back, so the cat can lie down and rest in it.

But Zhan Zhao was reserved and didn't spend much time in it, because A Lan carefully spread a layer of old clothes in the basket, and he wanted to sleep as soon as he lay down in it.

So along the way, Zhan Zhao and Alan finally arrived at the capital of Jiangnan East Road, Jiangning.Although the sky was gloomy like it was about to rain, it was also breezy and refreshing.They picked a restaurant to go in, intending to have a full meal, and then find an inn to stay and rest here for a few days.

"Anyway, we're almost arriving in Changzhou." Zhan Zhao said lightly, "We're in a hurry this way, and we have to take a break. It just so happens that the scenery in Jiangning is really nice, so you can enjoy it."

Ah Lan couldn't help but yearn for it. She wanted to please Zhan Zhao on weekdays, so she never dared to complain, and never clamored for good food, good clothes, and good fun.But now that Zhan Zhao mentioned that Ah Lan was still a child at heart, he suddenly felt so excited that he didn't even think about eating.

However, when Zhan Zhao's ordered dishes were brought to the table, A Lan simply and neatly forgot the word "play" in the back of his mind.

Food is the most important thing for the people, how can playing be more important than eating?What's more, Zhan Zhao's orders are all famous Jinling dishes, in addition to sweet-scented osmanthus duck and soup dumplings, there are also sautéed artemisia annua, cold water celery, and sweet-scented osmanthus cake and sweet bean paste buns for dessert.Each dish is placed on a small plate, the amount is not large, but it is really delicate.Originally, Ah Lan followed Zhan Zhao these days and had escaped from the hard life of struggling for food and clothing, but she still couldn't help but marvel at the table of delicacies in front of her: "It is a blessing in life to be able to eat such delicious meals. "

Zhan Zhao couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "Is it just that you have enough food and drink to be lucky in life?"

"Isn't it the most fortunate thing to be able to eat and drink enough?" Alan said seriously, "If I hadn't met Mr., let alone these things, I might not be able to eat leftovers."

Zhan Zhao naturally couldn't understand such feelings. He lived with his eldest brother when he was young, and although he was poor, he never went hungry.Later, when he was apprenticed to a teacher, he suffered all the hardships in practicing martial arts. No matter how insensitive his master was, he never made him unable to eat.So Zhan Zhao just thinks that Ah Lan is easy to be satisfied and is a worry-free child.As for Ah Lan, if he can eat a meal, he must thank God in his heart.She has a kind of reverence for anything she eats, thinking that it is a gift from God and nature.

But even though they have different ideas, the two of them have the same harmony when they eat.Zhan Zhao has had a tutor since he was a child, and he never eats or sleeps, and Ah Lan is also well-educated.Therefore, at the dinner table, both of them were quiet and serious while eating.

However, the silence was broken after all.Probably because it was time for dinner, the restaurant was already full, but at this time, three young men in brocade clothes came in with their toes high.I saw that they were all equipped with swords and swords, with their heads held high and their chests held high.When they saw that there was no seat in the restaurant, they couldn't help but frowned.One of them happened to see that there were only two people sitting at Zhan Zhao's table, and immediately strode over, knocked on the table with the handle of a knife, looked at people with his nostrils, and said in a vicious voice, "You guys, go to that table!" Pointing to a table with three people sitting at the side, "Make room for the men."

Ah Lan couldn't help but blushed when she heard the words, she said: "You, don't you know that you come first, first come first? Why do you want us to let go? Even if you want to let go, you should discuss it well."

"Scared, where did Master Rabbit come from? He dares to pester you, Grandpa Tang." The man raised his foot and stepped on the bench beside him, leaned over and smiled, "Yo, he has red lips and white teeth. If you want to stay here A table is also fine, but you have to sit on Grandpa’s lap, haha.” He laughed presumptuously as he spoke.

Alan had been at the bottom of society since she was a child, and she had heard many more ugly words than this, but it was the first time she heard such molesting and insulting words to her.She clenched her fists in anger, and couldn't help but look sideways at Zhan Zhao.

Unexpectedly, Zhan Zhao didn't care about the two of them coming and going, and ignored Alan, instead he took a sip of tea by himself, looking very contented.

The man also noticed Zhan Zhao following A Lan's line of sight, and his eyes lit up.Although the man in front of him was dressed in sackcloth and a bamboo hat, and was full of travel and dust, it was hard to hide his handsome appearance.Seeing that Zhan Zhao remained silent, he only said that he was afraid because of his heart, so he couldn't help but become more aggressive, and said with a smile: "Or both of you can stay, just to drink with the men."

"It's disgusting." Ah Lan couldn't help cursing, "Who wants to drink with you?" She didn't expect that this person would dare to speak rudely to Zhan Zhao, she was immediately furious, stood up abruptly and said, "Go away, Otherwise, I won't be polite."

At this time, the other two also surrounded the table, and the three of them surrounded the table, and they all sneered after hearing A Lan's words.Although the guests around talked a lot, they were all afraid of getting into trouble, so they only dared to whisper.The clerk in the store ran upstairs in a hurry, presumably to ask the shopkeeper to come down.

Alan stared angrily at the three people in front of her. Although she was a little timid in her heart, she didn't show it at all because she was in front of Zhan Zhao.Firstly, it was because he didn't want Zhan Zhao to underestimate her, and secondly, it was because of a subtle desire to protect Zhan Zhao.

The man at the front didn't pay attention to these two people at all, he stretched out his hand to touch A Lan's face with a smile, and said, "It's quite fierce, the master just likes your temper."

Ah Lan immediately opened the man's hand with a "snap". She had been with Zhan Zhao for so long, and she was no longer Wu Xia Amon.With this slap, the man clasped his hands and screamed with an "Aww".The man immediately became angry and cursed: "Shame on you, big brother, second brother, let's take this short-sighted person back and teach him a lesson!"

Hearing this, the other person simply stretched out his hand to grab Alan. He saw that Alan's slap just now was very skillful, so he didn't dare to push it too hard. This grasp was actually a small grasping hand, which was fast and accurate.However, Alan had already learned grappling skills from Zhan Zhao, and was hanged and beaten several times by Zhan Zhao.Seeing this person stretching out his hand to grab her wrist bone, he immediately dismantled it with his backhand, and he came first, forcing the person to take a step back.

Unexpectedly, the man took a step back, and Ah Lan was stunned for a moment, half of the prepared back move was left in the air.Without him, Zhan Zhao's martial arts are much higher than hers, A Lanmo said he had the upper hand, but he never even took the lead once.This shot actually knocked the opponent back a step, not only the man was terrified, but Alan was also shocked.

And just taking advantage of Alan's sway, the remaining person immediately made a sneak attack.His tricks are extremely vicious, he hooked his two fingers and pecked at Alan's eyes, but raised his leg and kicked to flirt.In his haste, A Lan didn't have time to think about it, he pulled his wrist, smashed his elbow, and dodged to hit his knee. In the blink of an eye, he rolled the man to the ground, wailing again and again.After all, she was caught off guard and lost her sense of proportion.

"Second brother!", "Second brother!" The remaining two hurriedly fell to the side of the screaming man in shock, and still looked up and glared at A Lan: "Good boy, just wait! There is a saying that Qianglong does not Snake on the ground, if our Jinjian faction tells you to leave Jiangning wholeheartedly, you are not a good man!"

Ah Lan turned pale with anger when he heard him slapping her back, but she was also apprehensive in her heart, and couldn't help but look at Zhan Zhao, afraid that she would cause trouble for him.

Zhan Zhao finally put down the teacup at this moment, he had seen enough of the drama, raised his eyebrows and smiled at those arrogant and arrogant things: "A good guy? I don't know, when did Huang Baojian teach you guys?" 'hero'."

The three of them were still angry at first, with a look of reluctance, but as soon as Zhan Zhao said the name "Huang Baojian", their faces immediately turned pale, and each of them stopped talking.

Alan's eyes widened involuntarily, thinking that he failed to subdue them by beating them to the ground, why did Zhan Zhao persuade them when he opened his mouth?

But the person who made the grabber at the beginning rushed to Zhan Zhao with clasped fists and said, "Haven't you asked the hero Gao's name? Could it be that he recognizes his tutor?" Hearing Zhan Zhao's direct name of "Huang Baojian", although he felt resentful, he also felt resentment. Can't help but feel fear.

Zhan Zhao was too lazy to talk to them, instead he turned his head and said to the shopkeeper who had come earlier but didn't dare to go forward, "I'm really sorry for making it like this."

Seeing that he was being left out by Zhan Zhao, the man immediately turned pale.The shopkeeper was also terrified when he heard the words, and said repeatedly: "Where, where."

But Zhan Zhao casually took out an ingot of silver and put it on the table, sighed: "Today's good interest has been ruined, whatever. Shopkeeper, my younger brother is not sensible, he disturbed the cleanliness of this place, and also offended everyone. Little Silver is not a respect, he has the right to make an apology, and hope to accept it."

The shopkeeper bowed again and again, saying "dare not".Zhan Zhao didn't care what the group of people thought, he pulled Ah Lan and started to leave, and said to the three of them without turning his head when he was going out, "If you are not convinced, you might as well ask Huang Baojian to look for me at the inn, my surname is Exhibition." After saying a word, the person was dozens of steps away, but the voice was still clearly audible.

Where did the three of them dare to answer, each of them was sweating coldly.It wasn't until Zhan Zhao and Ah Lan had left that they couldn't see anyone, that the youngest boy spat: "Little Paozi..."

"Shut up." The older man immediately stopped him, "Don't you think you're ugly enough?!"

The boy refused to accept: "Why are you afraid of him!"

"Stop Shao Dao, didn't you hear that person say his 'surname is Zhan'? Anyone who can directly call Master and his old man's name, at such a young age, must be Nan Xia." The man said the word "Nan Xia" and couldn't help but lower his voice. , I don't know if it's because I'm afraid of the other party's name, or because I'm afraid of shouting out and throwing myself away.

The guests at the restaurant are all ordinary people, so naturally not many have heard of Nan Xia.However, there was a young man in white clothes, who was extremely beautiful, tall and handsome. When he heard this, he stood up, smiled at the three people who had not yet had time to leave, tapped the shoulder of one of them with the fan in his hand, and said loudly. He said: "You don't need to trouble that Zhan. If Huang Baojian refuses to accept it, tell him to go directly to Jiangning Winery. Fifth Master will intervene in this matter."

The fan bone in his hand was only made of wood, but when it hit the man's shoulder, his face turned pale immediately, and beads of sweat rolled down.But he still held on to himself and dared not fall down, tremblingly said: "Don't dare, it turns out that the fifth master is here. The villain has overstepped, and I hope to forgive the crime." After speaking, he was so trembling that he couldn't speak.

The young man in white snorted, then turned and left.He also said with a smile to himself: "What a Nan Xia, I was going to look for you, but you came to my door."
