I studied abroad in modern times

Chapter 29 Night Trouble

It was completely dark, and the carriage was speeding through the stars.

The seventh young master had a look of despair on his face. He opened the carriage door and asked Gao Yuan, "Where are you?"

"It should be arriving soon, right?" Gao Yuan replied uncertainly.

"You can go the wrong way, so what do I need from you!" The seventh young master scolded: "Wait until I get back, then get out of here!"

"I've learned to drive, but I haven't learned to recognize the road!" Gao Yuan said plausibly and hurriedly said, "Master, why don't you scold Zheng Fa? He can't even recognize his own way home!"

The two of them turned back together and stared at Zheng Fa, who was watching the excitement as if it had nothing to do with him.

Zheng Fa: ...This pot really belongs to him.

After leaving the city, the roads are all of the same length. Who knows which fork in the road is right?

After the advent of mobile phone navigation in the modern world, many people can no longer even recognize maps.

What's more, there aren't even road signs in this place, so we all rely on old horses to know the way.

"Well, this road should be the right one! It can't be wrong!"

Fortunately, Zheng Fa had a good memory and recalled the scenery along the way, and finally found the right intersection.

Hearing Zheng Fa's affirmative reply, the seventh young master turned around and sat on the chair, touched his stomach and frowned: "I'm so hungry! Is there anything to eat?"

They originally set off after lunch. According to the speed of the carriage, they should be able to reach Zhuangzi, where the Zheng family is, before dinner.

But now I took the wrong route and was delayed for most of the day, let alone dinner.

The time for late night snacks was missed.

All three of them were actually hungry.

Zheng Fa keenly noticed that when the seventh young master said this, he was staring at the food box at his feet.

He thought for a moment and picked up the food box.

The seventh young master smiled, and then watched helplessly as he hid the food box behind his back.

You won’t even show it to me?

"Zheng Fa!"

"Huh?" Zheng Fa seemed a little confused.

"I'm hungry!"

"I'm hungry too." Zheng Fa had a sympathetic expression on his face.

"I saw that you took so many snacks from the kitchen and they are all in there!"

Seeing him pretending to be stupid, the Seventh Young Master made a fool of himself.

"I brought this for my sister." Zheng Fa refused coldly: "That's all."

"……elder brother!"

Even though Zheng Fa had always felt that he was more knowledgeable than people in this world, he was still shocked by the Seventh Young Master's shamelessness.

"She is only six years old..."

There was something Zheng Fa didn't say: Are you embarrassed?

"I'm hungry!"

Zheng Fa sighed. With the seventh young master's background, he should have never been hungry since he was a child.

This is so unbearable.

He opened the food box and found two plates of snacks piled inside. Zheng Fa had eaten them and found them delicious, so he picked them out.

Now everyone in the Zhao family also knows that Zheng Fa has some respect in front of the seventh young master. Zheng Fa can go to the kitchen and ask for these snacks, and someone will prepare them for him.

"Here!" He handed over a plate of snacks.

The seventh young master grabbed a piece of bean cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

Zheng Fa thought for a while, opened the curtain, and said to Gao Yuan: "Gao Yuan, are you hungry after driving all the way? Come and have something to eat."

He handed the plate out. Gao Yuan nodded and eagerly took a piece.

Zheng Fa thought that after all, the two of them were at an age where they could eat, and a small snack might not be enough for them, so he placed the food box in the carriage and said, "Take it after you finish eating."

The seventh young master quickly finished a piece of bean cake. Seeing that he sat back down without taking any snacks, he said with some confusion: "Aren't you going to eat?"

"I'm not hungry."

Zheng Fa smiled.

The seventh young master looked at his palms, which had even been licked clean of snack residue, and then looked at Zheng Fa, remembering that they had lunch together.

He and Gao Yuan were both hungry.

Isn’t Zheng Fa hungry?

Maybe you want to leave more for your sister?

The seventh young master swallowed a mouthful of saliva and suddenly said: "I'm not that hungry anymore, so I won't eat."

Outside the carriage, Gao Yuan also said: "There is no water. I will choke if I eat too much! I won't eat either."

Zheng Fa actually didn't feel too hungry. He was probably used to enduring hunger.

I did have the intention to leave a few pieces for my sister to eat.

These two...

He didn't try to persuade her any more. He closed the food box with a smile and said, "We're almost there. You can eat when we get there."

Just like Zheng Fa said, in less than half an hour, they saw the dark shadow of the house under the starry sky.

"arrive!"

The seventh young master looked at the small houses in the distance and wished he could jump out of the car.

Suddenly, the first house lit up with a torch.

Gongs and drums sounded.

The bankers who had already fallen asleep got up one after another and lit candles at home.

The whole Zhuangzi was in chaos as if it had been awakened.

"What's going on?"

The seventh young master looked at the farm in chaos and said in shock.

"This is because we are afraid of bandits. We arrived too late and the sentry could not see the carriage clearly and thought we had bad intentions."

The Xuanwei world is not peaceful.

Jingzhou City is okay, but the farms outside the city often face robberies by bandits.

There are young and middle-aged men on guard duty every night in the farm.

His tone was a little sad.

Zheng Fa's father was the man who stood sentry in the village that night when the monster came down the mountain...

At this moment, the farm was already in a panic.

Zheng's mother held Zheng Shan, who was sleeping in her arms, looking out through the window.

"mother?"

Zheng Shan felt her mother trembling.

Zheng's mother forced a smile at her daughter. When her husband passed away, Zheng Shan was only one year old and had no memory.

But she never forgot.

Back then, there was the same gong sound and the same chaos.

After a while, a farmer suddenly ran over and said loudly: "It's okay, everything is okay. The carriage from the mansion has arrived!"

Zheng Shan felt her mother's arms suddenly loosen up, and a breath came from above her head.

After a while, her mother suddenly stiffened.

She let go of herself and ran out frantically.

"Mom? What happened!"

Zheng Shan looked at her mother who was not wearing shoes and stumbled after her.

Mother Zheng did not answer, nor did she dare to answer.

Some time ago, Wang Gui was beaten by his wife and sent back.

It was also a carriage.

It was also a night.

The people from the mansion suddenly came with Wang Gui, who was unconscious and dying.

...

At the house of Steward Wang, Wang Gui was dressed and whispering excitedly with his father.

"I said Zheng Fa won't stay long! We should clean up the Zheng family sooner! Dad, you always say wait, wait!"

"Shut your stinky mouth."

Wang Gui stopped talking, but his face was still unconvinced.

Manager Wang knew that what his son said was actually not wrong.

He also knew a little about the temper of the Seventh Young Master.

It was one thing that his son was driven back and was useless, but the Seventh Young Master was really hard to serve.

What's more, no one would come to the mansion so late at night.

Just as Zheng's mother thought, he also remembered the night when his son was driven back.

"It's right to be cautious! Besides, he was disliked by the Seventh Young Master. The whole family is in the manor. Where can he run? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Manager Wang taught his son a lesson and walked out of the manor.

Wang Gui followed and laughed. He knew that his father would never stop him again.

A carriage was slowly approaching. Wang Gui looked at Gao Yuan, who was driving the carriage, and was a little puzzled by the man's youth and strangeness.

And where is Zheng Fa?

Lying in the car?

He leaned over to look at the carriage, only to see the curtain lifted and the Seventh Young Master poking his head out.

Seventh Young Master?

Wang Gui stared at the Seventh Young Master's face in amazement, wondering why he came here.

Could it be that he was here to pick him up?

"Young Master!" He shouted excitedly, swearing in his heart: The Seventh Young Master actually came to pick me up in person, I must die!

Even if my wife breaks his legs this time, I will take him to the Misty Rain Tower!

"Huh? You live here too?"

At this moment, the Seventh Young Master's surprised face made Wang Gui feel so cold and hurtful.
