chivalrous cat and righteous mouse

Oh... Uncle Wu is the beggar. He got sick from the cold that winter, and he never recovered. It was cold in winter, and we didn't have thick clothes to keep out the cold, and we were always hungry. There was a pause, but in the end he still couldn't make it through.He, too, didn't survive the winter..."

Looking at him, Zhan Zhao suddenly curled his lips, he stood up from the stone bench, and approached Xiaotian, "Well, the story is good, but..." A hand slowly stretched out , squeezed Xiaotian's jaw quickly, and lifted it up slightly, "Cheating people is not what a good boy should do." He squinted his eyes and looked at the little man in front of him, while Zhan Yitian was obviously attracted by him. Startled by his actions, he stared at the person in front of him with wide eyes, forgetting to struggle for a moment.

"Daddy...don't you believe in Xiaotian?" Zhan Yitian's pupils dilated slightly, his jaw hurt a little from being pinched, and he trembled uncontrollably out of fear.

Zhan Zhao felt his trembling, and suddenly loosened his grip on his hands, and his expression eased, he asked, "Are you afraid?" Xiaotian nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with tears.Zhan Zhao rubbed his head with a smile, "If you're afraid, tell Dad who you are, why you came here, what purpose you came here for, and who sent you here."

After hearing Zhan Zhao's words, Xiaotian couldn't help but gasped.He shrank his neck to look at Zhan Zhao, his chest was heaving and heaving because of fear, big teardrops rolled down from his eyes, but he didn't realize it, he still looked at him like that, unable to say a word.

Zhan Zhao picked up the kettle at hand, poured a cup of warm water and handed it to Xiaotian, then took out a plain handkerchief from his bosom, and wiped away the tears on his face.After wiping his face, Zhan Zhao saw that he was still maintaining the same movements, holding the cup in one hand, looking straight at him, not daring to move.He knew that he had frightened him just now, so he shook his head, took the cup from his hand, then raised it to his lips, and fed the water into his mouth bit by bit.

The warm and sweet liquid slowly flowed into his mouth, and Xiaotian's mind suddenly cleared up.He calmed down and opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound.Zhan Zhao put down the cup, reached out to touch his forehead, and found that his head was covered with fine and dense sweat.He sighed, stretched out his hand, and touched his sleeping hole with his long fingers, then took his limp body and went back to the room.

track

Zhan Zhao put Xiaotian on the bed and covered him with a quilt. He stood in front of the bed and stared at him for a while, then walked out of the room softly.Only then did he close the door, turned around, and a touch of white came into his eyes.

I saw Bai Yutang leaning against the stone table in the courtyard with two jars of wine in his hand.Hearing the sound of the door, he lazily raised his eyelids, and when he saw Zhan Zhao, the corner of his mouth twitched, and immediately picked up the cold moon on the stone table, performed lightness kung fu, and flew up to the roof.

Standing in the courtyard, Zhan Zhao looked up at the gradually darkening sky and at Bai Yutang who was sitting alone on the roof drinking. He smiled helplessly, and then followed up with the roof.

Bai Yutang propped up his body with one arm, and drank alcohol halfway up on the ridge of the roof.The spring breeze in March blew across his face, bringing up a few strands of his blue hair, dancing lightly.Suddenly, he heard the sound of clothes rubbing against the air, knowing that Zhan Zhao was coming up, so he didn't say anything, just picked up the wine in hand with Hanyue, and threw it in Zhan Zhao's direction. With his strength, he flew out.

Zhan Zhao's toes had just touched the tiles of the roof, and he hadn't had time to catch his breath when he heard a "hoo", something flew straight towards him. Without thinking about it, he held his sword behind his back and danced in the air. Jian Hua, then turned her wrist, and firmly caught the wine with the blade of the sword.

From the corner of his eyes, Bai Yutang caught a glimpse of Zhan Zhao's movements, which were clean and neat, without any sloppiness, and secretly praised him in his heart. He never thought that this cat could pick up wine jars so beautifully. It really did not disgrace the name of royal cat bestowed by the emperor. .When the case is over, he will definitely have a real contest with him, not for the sake of fame, but only for the sake of his friends.

Naturally, Zhan Zhao didn't notice Bai Yutang's thoughts, he just thought that the white mouse had a wrong string and came to trouble him, but he sat down, patted the mud, took a few sips from the wine jar, but he still didn't see it. He opened his mouth, which made him a little bit unstoppable in doubt.He turned his face slightly, sneaked a sideways glance at him from time to time, opened his mouth a few times, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

Seeing his appearance, Bai Yutang thought it was funny, but he couldn't really laugh. He put the wine by his side, put his hand on his face, stroked his sword with the other hand, and called softly, "Cat."

Zhan Zhao glanced at him, "Huh?"

Bai Yutang half-closed his eyes and fell asleep, "Calculating, how much wine do you already owe Grandpa Bai?"

"Pfft!" Zhan Zhao didn't expect him to say this, took a sip of wine, and before he could swallow it, he sprayed it all out again.He raised his arm, wiped the wine stains off his mouth with his sleeve, gave Bai Yutang an angry look, and muttered in a low voice, what a stingy rat!

Bai Yutang didn't argue, but took another sip of wine, then played with Hanyue in his hand, "Tomorrow Bai won't bother you at the county government."

Zhan Zhao was a little surprised, "Brother Bai is leaving? Didn't you promise your lord to assist in handling the case? Why is it so sudden?"

Bai Yutang felt inexplicably happy when he heard Zhan Zhao's blurted out words, he tilted his neck back again, squinted his eyes and asked, "Could it be that you cat misses Grandpa Bai?"

Zhan Zhao didn't expect him to tease him so unscrupulously again, and couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Brother Bai is overthinking, Zhan is just worried that it will be difficult to explain to the adults, and has no other thoughts."

Bai Yutang sniggered inwardly, and said in his heart, what a stubborn cat!He raised the gas wine jar and took a few more gulps, and then said, "It's time, Bai Fuming should be here, we're staying in the Junyue Inn, Tianzi No. .”

"Bai Fu?" Zhan Zhao frowned, full of doubts.

"Oh, that's Bai's companion, and he's been by his side since he was a child. Didn't you see him in the empty island before?" Bai Yutang sat in a comfortable position and looked at Zhan Zhao.

"Sky Island? Could it be that little boy?"

Bai Yutang nodded, "Exactly."

Zhan Zhao shook his head with his tongue, saying "What a pity, what a pity."

Bai Yutang was puzzled and asked, "What's the pity?"

Zhan Zhao bent his eyes and said with a smile, "It's a pity that such a clever boy has followed your master!" While talking, Zhan Zhao sighed pretentiously.

Bai Yutang gave him an annoyed look, then thought about it, and smiled faintly, "It's not a pity to follow you as a fourth-rank guard, you might as well ask him tomorrow, if he is willing to be with you, then Grandpa Bai will How about doing a good deed and sending him to you?"

Zhan Zhao curled his lips, and was just about to say no, when he caught a glimpse of a white figure sneaking around the back door of the county government office for a moment, then he pushed the latch, opened the door lightly, and went out.

Bai Yutang's back was facing the back door, so he failed to notice the white shadow. He was still waiting for Zhan Zhao's reply. He thought that Zhan Zhao's temperament would definitely reject him, but he didn't hear the other party's reply after waiting for a long time. He couldn't help looking at him unexpectedly, "If you don't make a sound, you will acquiesce..."

"Shut up!" Zhan Zhao put his index finger in front of his lips, abruptly interrupting his words.

It was only then that Bai Yutang realized something was wrong. He hurriedly followed Zhan Zhao's line of sight, but only saw something passing by.He couldn't help frowning and lowered his voice, "Who is it?"

Zhan Zhao waited for a while, and turned his face after confirming that the white figure was gone, "It looks a bit like Yin Hua."

Bai Yutang touched his chin, then pouted towards the place where the shadow disappeared, and asked him, "What should I do?"

Zhan Zhao glanced at the small forest in the distance, and then only left a cry of "Chasing!" The figure quickly chased after him.

Bai Yutang looked at the two unfinished wine jars on the roof, and then at Zhan Zhao who had chased him a few feet away. He pursed his mouth and muttered, "Disappointment." Then he followed up with vigor.

chase

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang followed the man in white into the woods. After walking not far, the man in white stopped suddenly.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also took advantage of the opportunity to stop on a tree not far from him but not too close.

The man in white looked around, and then walked to a tree on his left. He folded his hands on his chest, kicked the tree impatiently, and shouted, "Come out!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw a young man jumping down from the tree, hugging the arm of the man in white with a smile, "Hee hee, do you have any thoughts, my lord?"

Originally, the young man felt familiar to Zhan Zhao as soon as he jumped down, but he couldn't see clearly from a distance, but as soon as the young man opened his mouth, he and Bai Yutang recognized it immediately.

The two of them looked at each other, as if they felt a little inconceivable about the discovery in front of them.Zhan Zhao mouthed "Yang Di" to Bai Yutang and said that he was afraid that he would not understand, and pointed in the direction of the two of them. Bai Yutang didn't know if he understood, but he shrugged He shrugged his shoulders, and then ignored him, and walked closer to the tree, trying to hear what the two of them were talking about.

"What's the point of asking me here so late? You have to know that I'm in the county office now, and I don't have that much freedom." Although the man in white was dissatisfied in his tone, he didn't push him away in action.

"My lord, don't talk about freedom. Who told you to let go of your freedom? You insisted on lying that you killed someone. You even secretly swallowed poison." Yang Di pouted resentfully.

"Heh, how do you know I'm lying? What if I really killed someone?" Yin Hua raised his mouth jokingly.
