Returning wild geese in autumn

Chapter 21: Reconnecting

After Bai Yutang opened the door, lit the lamp and changed his shoes, Zhan Zhao also closed the phone and came over.

Bai Yutang casually kicked a pair of slippers over, "Is it over so soon?"

Zhan Zhao bent over to change his shoes: "I don't have anything to say at all." The things that should be done have been done, the person has been rescued, and the rest of the things have nothing to do with him.

"That's right, those things, can we care less or have less contact with them." Thinking of Bai Yiping, Bai Yutang felt a little disapproving. Although he didn't hate this person, he didn't like the things behind this person very much.

At this time, the sky has already dawned, and it is destined not to have a good rest this night.The two went back to their rooms separately and slept for two hours. It was already ten past six when they woke up.

Since it's not the weekend, you have to go to class normally.The two of them washed up after getting up, and finally went out to school together after so many days.

"Go this way, it's closer."

"No wonder you leave late every time, but arrive not slow."

"Ha, the mountain people have their own tricks!"

"I think it's the mouse's instinct to drill holes!"

"You plague cat!"

"There are more buses here than there are people."

"Really? I thought they were about the same. But it smells just as bad."

"In the future, why not get up early and walk there after morning exercises? It's not far anyway."

"That's right, Grandpa already had this intention!"

"..."

From going out to standing on the bus, the two talked a few words from time to time, exchanging their solo experience along the way, and kept relaxing their guard against each other under the calm conversation.After going through the previous "quarrel", now let go of the knot, each of them needs to adapt to the existence of the other, and acquiesced to the other's invasion of their own territory.

I thought there would be some friction, but I didn't want to, but it was unexpectedly relaxed and happy.This time it is no longer like before, just because they are from the same place, they have to walk together to take care of each other. After opening their hearts, Fang feels that the sea and the sky are vast, and there is no difference between a thousand years ago and a thousand years later.

Looking at the fleeting modern scenery outside the window, the two of them thought almost at the same time that maybe the person beside them was really a bosom friend.

When I got out of the car, it was only ten past seven.Bai Yutang stretched his arms, looked at the school gate where the crowds were not yet crowded: "Where are we going for breakfast?"

Zhan Zhao thought for a while and said, "It is said that there is a good restaurant over there." He pointed to the snack street near the school gate, "Someone recommended it to me a few days ago, go and try it?"

"Alright." Bai Yutang stepped towards that direction indifferently, "Let's lead the way!"

The two walked over there side by side. At this time, the street was bustling with students and office workers coming and going alternately. There were several people standing by almost every booth.

Zhan Zhao led Bai Yutang all the way to a small shop in the street that looked old, and when he opened the door, hot steam rushed in.

This is a very ordinary small shop, different from the gorgeously decorated shop outside, the floor of this shop is only paved with a layer of ordinary blue bricks, and the walls are pasted with moon-white wallpaper, which looks clean and tidy.

A table and four plastic benches were placed every few steps in the room, and most of them were already filled. When the boss saw some guests coming, he yelled at them to sit down casually, and then took a note to ask them what to eat.

There is a vertical menu on the table, and ordering is easy. The two ordered a drawer of beef buns, two bowls of millet porridge, and a stack of mixed vegetables on the recommendation of the boss. They sat down and started to eat breakfast.

The steamed stuffed buns are well made, although they are not as good as the long-established soup dumplings in Tokyo, but they are not unpalatable. The porridge must have been boiled for a long time, and the rice has become rotten and thick, and it smells like rice in your mouth.The two sat opposite each other, their chopsticks flew flying, and quickly settled the drawer of meat buns, and even fought for a long time for the ownership of the last bun.

After all, they were outside, and it was not easy for the two of them to fight for it. It was really like a fight between urchins, and the people at the next table laughed kindly.That laughter made Bai Yutang very upset, and he replied, "What are you looking at, haven't you seen it?" He blocked all eyes,

With just one sentence, Zhan Zhao narrowly won, proudly took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun, and smiled at Bai Yutang.Bai Yutang couldn't get angry, he suddenly leaned forward and took his chopsticks to grab most of the leftovers into his mouth, there was no pressure to snatch the food.

"Hey!"

Unexpectedly, he came up with this "unique trick", Zhan Zhao looked at the empty chopsticks angrily and amused, this mouse really didn't admit defeat at all.Seeing Bai Yutang raise his eyebrows proudly, he shook his head and drank the porridge for dinner.

But Bai Yutang saw him like this, so he simply ordered another tray of shiitake mushroom meat. The two of them practiced martial arts, and they exercised a lot last night, so sharing a tray was really a little less.

"Here, let's eat! lest others think I'm mistreating the cat!" Pushing the steamed stuffed bun that the boss just brought over, Bai Yutang's smile deepened, and his demeanor might be suspected of being cheap and being obedient.

Zhan Zhao glared at him, and suddenly remembered what happened that night before the two came to this era.At that time, getting along with each other was not easy, and there were some malicious provocations in the teasing. Compared with now, the situation is similar, but the atmosphere is completely different.

Halfway through the meal, another person pushed the door and walked in. After a while, someone suddenly walked up to them, and a pleasantly surprised voice rang out:

"Yo, elementary school brother, you come here to eat too!"

The voice sounded familiar, Zhan Zhao looked up, and a young face that was not unfamiliar came into view.This face has been seen frequently recently, and it is clearly the administrator who often appears in the school library.

Recognizing the identity of the person, he was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said:

"Hello."

Feng Zheng unceremoniously moved the stool and sat down beside the two, glanced at Bai Yutang, and said, "Is this your classmate?"

"Well, a friend from the same department." Zhan Zhao briefly introduced, and didn't feel the need to introduce it in detail, at least so far, he still doesn't know what the person in front of him is called.

"My name is Feng Zheng, a third-year student in the Department of Philosophy, hello." The man took the initiative to introduce Bai Yutang, then turned to Zhan Zhao, and said with a light smile, "It seems that we haven't known each other before. How about you?" ? Do you mind telling me your name?"

"A first-year student in the Department of History, Zhan Zhao, this is Bai Yutang." The other party had already reported their names, and they had to say nothing.Zhan Zhao announced the names of the two of them, and then saw a surprised and funny look on the other's face without any surprise.

"Royal Cat and Chinchilla? You two are interesting." Feng Zheng was really surprised. He had seen the set of "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" in Zhan Zhao's library before, if he hadn't passed the loan long ago. After Ka confirmed Zhan Zhao's name, he almost thought that the two people just mentioned a name at random to fool himself.

Zhan Zhao just smiled at this. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Bai Yutang quickly disposing of the remaining steamed buns, and couldn't help but be speechless: This mouse, what are you doing eating so fast? Are you afraid that he won't be able to snatch it from him?

As soon as the thought came to him, Bai Yutang put down his chopsticks and stood up: "Zhan Zhao, it's time to go, morning reading."

"That's right." Zhan Zhao responded, then stood up and smiled at Feng Zheng, "We're done eating, then Feng Zheng, goodbye!"

Didn't even say "Senior"?Feng Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Okay, let's meet and talk next time?" He nodded to them, looking modest, but looked at Bai Yutang thoughtfully.

Strange, is it an illusion?Why do you always feel that this "Chinchmouse" is somewhat hostile towards him?

Bai Yutang didn't bother to care about his petty things, and went out of the shop with Zhan Zhao alone.To him, that "kite" is just an insignificant passer-by, but he doesn't like the way that person looks at the two of them—especially Zhan Zhao.

Tsk, after a good breakfast, the atmosphere was spoiled in the end.There are so many troubled people in this era.

Zhan Zhao naturally felt the sudden low pressure from the people around him. He glanced at Bai Yutang's hands in his pockets and no one bothered to care about him. His rare dissatisfaction and childishness almost made him laugh.

He pursed his lips and closed the door of the breakfast shop, walked around the other students with Bai Yutang, and said in a low voice, "You don't like Feng Zheng?"

"It's the first time we met, what do you like or not?" Bai Yutang replied casually, remembering Feng Zheng's expression just now, frowned and said "tsk", "But that person is really not very likable."

In fact, Zhan Zhao felt the same way as him.When he saw Feng Zheng for the first time, he felt that the man was a bit sloppy, not on the outside, but frivolous from the bottom of his heart.And he could feel that when that person looked at him, he always had an unpleasant look, as if he was thinking of something.

Thinking of what Feng Zheng said just now, Zhan Zhao couldn't help frowning: Is it because of their names?

In fact, when Cao Xu first entered school, he proposed to let them change their names, but he gave up after seeing that they rejected it. He only reminded them to keep a low profile among ordinary people.During this period of time getting along with the students, Zhan Zhao also noticed that, as Feng Zheng said, very few young people nowadays go to see the old school martial arts, even if they hear their names, they are only surprised for a moment at most.

Maybe he thinks too much?

……

After that day, everything went back to normal. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang returned to their normal student lives. They went to and from get out of class every day, met some new friends, and learned things that they had never imagined before. Two months passed without knowing it.

During this period, Bai Yiping made several phone calls to Zhan Zhao, asking if they were interested in learning some knowledge about militarization and modernization.

This aspect is indeed their weakness, Zhan Zhao thought for a while, and reserved his opinion for the time being.Although he was curious about the wonderful "mechanical" products of this era, he knew that if he accepted Bai Yiping's arrangement, he might not be able to get away from it in the future.

Zhan Zhao has no sense of belonging to this era, so it is naturally impossible to work in the "imperial court" like a thousand years later.In fact, even thousands of years ago, he never thought that he would be an official one day.The performance at the Yaowu Building at the beginning was more or less forced by the situation, and later he was named a guard with a knife. If it wasn't for the emperor's "secondment to Kaifeng Mansion", he would have resigned a long time ago.

Anyway, in his heart he is still the Jiang Hu person who yearns for freedom. In this era, there is neither Bao Zheng nor the turbulent relationship with the court thousands of years ago. Why would he want to wade into the muddy water again?

In this case, at the end of autumn and winter solstice, they ushered in a crucial turning point in this era.
