Returning wild geese in autumn

Chapter No.17: Invited to walk together

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, opened his mouth, and called "Yutang" but it was a bit awkward no matter how he called it—the etiquette laws in the Song Dynasty were strict, and the names were usually called by people who were very close. After all, they were not very familiar with each other. used……

Bai Yutang laughed when he saw his expression, "Why are you so restrained, you cat! It's not your nature to procrastinate!"

Zhan Zhao rolled his eyes at him, and this man called "Cat" easily.With a thought, he said with a smile: "Since Brother Bai already calls Zhan a 'cat', it's not too much for Zhan to call 'rat'!"

"Dead cat! How dare you!" The white mouse immediately glared.

"Then—fifth brother?"

"Which one is your fifth younger brother!" Bai Yutang immediately rolled his eyes, "Don't you stupid cat take advantage of your fifth master Bai!"

"..." Couldn't bear it anymore, and finally rolled his eyes, Zhan Zhao said with a half smile, "This will not work, and that will not work, just let you Bai Yutang save trouble!"

"Master, don't you mind calling you Zhan Zhao, or Xiao Zhan? Tsk tsk, you look like a policeman that can be seen everywhere on the street!" Bai Yutang leaned back on the back of his chair, smiling smugly.If there was a folding fan in hand at this moment, I'm afraid he would have taken it out and shaken it long ago, assuming a flirtatious posture.

Cao Xu couldn't help laughing seeing the interesting interaction between the two of them.Zhan Zhao suddenly felt a little embarrassed - he forgot that Cao Xu was around when he got into a fight!After thinking about it, he laughed at his restraint, and said with a casual smile: "Forget it! Yutang, Xiaocao, please give me more advice in the future!"

Hearing his helpless and soft voice, Bai Yutang's heart suddenly trembled with panic. An inexplicable dull pain passed through his heart very quickly, and before he could feel it, it instantly Disappeared, so fast that almost no trace was left.

That's—an illusion...

The problem of calling it this way is solved for the time being, and other things can't be solved for a while——Cao Xu watched the interaction between the cat and the mouse on the opposite side, and quickly figured out what to do next in his mind.He considered for a moment and said:

"You two, you have nowhere to go now. If you can trust me, Cao Xu, why don't you come and stay at my house first?"

Zhan Zhao said: "Is it convenient for your residence to bother you?"

"Where?" Cao Xu said with a smile, "I'm a loner, so the two of you go together just to make things more lively. I don't think your matter can be resolved in a day or two, so let's go to Beijing first, there are capable people there. There are always a lot of strangers, maybe we can find a solution."

"Since that's the case, the two of us will interrupt first." Said Bai Zhan and the two stood up at the same time, each bowing to Cao Xu.They are newcomers, and they are really confused about this era. They know that it is good luck that they can meet such enthusiastic people as Cao Xu.Therefore, after hearing Cao Xu's proposal, he was not too hypocritical. After all, for the present plan, the most important thing is to follow Cao Xu to learn how to survive in this era.

Now that it was agreed, the three of them left the hotel after eating.Cao Xu came to Hefei for a business trip, and the work has already been done. Seeing that it was late today, the three of them planned to stay overnight first, and then take the train to Beijing tomorrow morning.The reason why I chose the train instead of the plane is not for anything else, it is still because of the small card that everyone has in this era.

With Cao Xu here, the problem of accommodation was temporarily solved.Cao Xu had booked a hotel before. It was a suite with two bedrooms and one living room. He lived with his secretary before. His secretary, Qu Wenhai, returned to Beijing ahead of schedule after finishing his work yesterday. Let them both live.

On the way, Bai Yutang specially went to pick up the luggage and items that the two of them "leaved" on the tree before, as well as the Three Treasures and other things.Cao Xu looked at those things, and it was too conspicuous to carry them into the hotel like this, so he simply bought a large suitcase and put all the long sword luggage in it and settled it together.

On the way to the hotel, it was unavoidable to see pedestrians turning their heads frequently, and some bold ones even pointed at the two of them.There is no way, Bai Zhan's appearance is too outstanding, especially the long hair that is tied up casually, I don't know how many people envy them.Such an outstanding and unique young man, one is already rare, let alone two together?

In the past two days, the two have long been used to being so watched by others. One dragged the big suitcase without looking sideways, and the other strode forward with his head held high and his hands behind his back, ignoring all the pointers from others.Cao Xu watched from the sidelines, secretly amused, but also admired the good patience and patience of these two people, and couldn't help but sigh that martial arts practitioners are really different from ordinary people.

He didn't know that these two people were quite famous people in the Northern Song Dynasty, and he was used to such attention in the past.Today's people just point and talk and laugh in a low voice. In their era, there were many people who had itchy hands when they met each other, or those who were eager to become famous blocked the way and provoked them. Now these are just side dishes.

After entering the hotel, Cao Xu first taught the two how to use some modern daily necessities, such as bathrooms, TVs, light switches, etc.He also told them not to touch sockets and wires lightly, and to handle things—especially electronic things with care, so as not to cause accidents.Relying on their strong learning ability, the two memorized one by one. After all, they are adults, and they are unique in themselves. Their ability to accept new things is much higher than ordinary people. They quickly figured out the purpose of most of the things in the house.

After figuring out and learning how to use the bathroom, both of them suddenly felt a little itchy on their bodies. They were exhausted from running around these days, and they never got clean.There is a chance to take a bath at this moment, how can there be any reason to let it go?It's just that the two argued for a long time about the order, and they refused to give in. Cao Xu couldn't help laughing at it, and his advice was fruitless, so he simply said, "Can't you two wash together?" and then looked at them with a smile.

"Which one wants to wash with him?!" The mouse and cat stared at each other in unison.

Cao Xu's head suddenly became dizzy. Ever since he met them, the two had never stopped arguing like children in his opinion.Thinking that they are only in their twenties now, they are angry and funny at the same time, after thinking about it, they pretended to be wrong: "I can't help you two if you want to argue, but the water here seems to be provided during this period, if it is later If so, I'm afraid..."

Of course this was a lie to them, but unfortunately the two ancients believed it completely at this time, hesitated for a moment, one suddenly rushed to the bathroom in silence, the other followed behind without showing any weakness, closed the door with a "bang", and left behind. Cao Xu rubbed his nose and laughed sullenly until he fell down.

It's no good, if he continues to read here, he will laugh until he hurts internally, so he should go back and check if there are any suitable materials for them to study!

……

At last, Cao Xu's demonstration just now was not in vain, Zhan Zhao imitated his actions and carefully turned on the shower. Looking around, Bai Yutang had already taken off his shirt by himself, and was reaching out to untie the weird pair of pants.Thinking of the dispute between the two just now in front of the door, I also felt a little funny, and said while undressing:

"Brother Bai doesn't care about being with Zhanmou now?"

Bai Yutang sneered, "It's just a cat that fell into the water, and it doesn't take up much space." After speaking, he kicked the last obstacle neatly, and stretched out his hand to test the water temperature. The temperature was just right, and the water poured from top to bottom hit the skin On, surprisingly comfortable.

Zhan Zhao also finished taking off his clothes at this time, and the water flow from the shower was only so small. The two stood back to back, and each went in half.At the beginning, you snatched me a little, and I squeezed you, but the naked skin was touching, and under the erosion of warm water, I suddenly felt a little unspeakable awkwardness, one coughed and flinched, and the other stopped embarrassingly Such a childish move.

For a moment, apart from the sound of gurgling water, there were only the sound of breathing and the occasional rustling of the two of them rubbing their skins.Such a quiet atmosphere steamed up with the steam in the bathroom, and it actually brought a bit of hazy warmth.

"I never thought that I would get along with your cat quietly." A moment later, Bai Yutang suddenly said to himself.

Zhan Zhao was squinting his eyes and pondering the strange things in front of the mirror next to him, he heard the words and chuckled softly behind his back: "Brother Bai, as long as he doesn't find fault with you, Zhan will be thankful."

"Your cat is not a gentle person." Bai Yutang snorted, his hair was uncommon, but he was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "I'm done washing, you can go out by yourself!" After finishing speaking, he wiped it away with a clatter. With the water droplets on his face, he picked up the white towel hanging above and wiped it before going out.

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang's back inexplicably, why did he feel that Bai Yutang seemed a little depressed at this moment?

After Zhan Zhao took a shower, he saw Bai Yutang sitting in front of the bed in his middle coat, holding his painting shadow in his hand, and was wiping it carefully, while the suitcase containing all their belongings was spread out at his feet.

The light was dim, and the young man in white was sitting on a big white and soft bed, looking at the sword with the lamp on, surrounded by unfamiliar utensils. This scene was only discordant and weird.However, the other party's focused expression weakened this sense of weirdness, and even infinitely expanded the desolation of things that are right and wrong.

He couldn't help but shook his head, took out his middle coat from the luggage and changed it on.Bai Yutang raised his eyelids to glance at him, returned the sword into its sheath with a "clang", and with a flick of his wrist, the long sword fell steadily into the box.

"Fifth Master Bai finished wiping the sword?"

"Hmm." Bai Yutang snorted, stretched out his hand to pull the quilt, groped casually, a little disgusted: "The quilt after a thousand years is soft, but unfortunately the material is too poor." After a pause, he added, "The same goes for the clothes."

"Are you still at Bai's house in Jinling or are you stuck on an empty island?" Zhan Zhao habitually rebuked him, went to the other side of the bed, picked up the quilt and lay down.Bai Yutang kicked back the lid of the box, followed him in, and turned off the bedside lamp.

Under the black light, a cat and a mouse lay side by side, each thinking about their own thoughts.The scene at this moment is different from lying side by side on the roof yesterday.

And tomorrow...how about tomorrow, the road ahead is still boundless!
