[Rat cat] The legend of Lou Xiaochong

After the lights and candles are extinguished at night, it is a great pleasure to be accompanied by close friends and talk about the world, from life ideals to daily necessities.Of course, anyone who has ever had such an experience knows that one will always fall asleep inadvertently when covered with a warm quilt and chatting leisurely.

It was already October, the sky was cool and the days were short, and when the watchmen walked across the street beating on their four-drum clappers, it was still too early for the sun to shine.

Zhan Zhao is used to getting up early, he wakes up naturally without being called.Thinking about the people around him, he relaxed his hands and feet and was about to get up, but suddenly realized that the right side was empty, Bai Yutang was no longer there, and the half of the quilt was still warm.Listen carefully, there are some noises in the yard, it seems that Fifth Master Bai is also a hardworking master.However, the people around him didn't wake him up when they woke up. How long had it been since Zhan Zhao slept so deeply.

Zhan Zhao's mind was spinning wildly, his hands kept moving, he dressed and scrubbed, quickly tidied up, and opened the door to come out to have a look.

In the yard, Bai Yutang was gesticulating with a knife.Probably because he didn't want to disturb the people in the mansion, he was just making a show, the steel knife was not out of its sheath, and he didn't use any internal strength.With the soft sound of the door opening, Bai Yutang turned around and said with a smile, "Lazy cat, are you finally awake?"

Zhan Zhao has always been magnanimous, so naturally he doesn't care about a title, he also smiled and nodded: "Brother Bai, good morning."

"Of course it's early, I haven't slept much at all." Lying next to your cat, I, a rat, naturally couldn't sleep—Bai Yutang hung the knife back to his waist, came over, pulled Zhan Zhao to turn around, and gave him Pointing to the basin on the table in the room, "Hey, can't sleep, I ran to buy this, you taste it and it tastes good - I can't help it if I'm not used to it, it's too early, the whole Bianjing There are not many stalls that sell early ones, and the fifth master has gone around a lot, and this one is still clean."

While talking, Bai Yutang turned on the lamp, and Zhan Zhao saw a round porcelain basin turned upside down in the middle of the table.There was originally a small wine jar left by Bai Yutang when he walked back last time. He hadn't moved it. He was used to seeing it these days, so when he was taking care of himself in the dark, he didn't notice that something was changed here.

Bai Yutang uncovered the porcelain basin, inside was a big oiled paper package, opened it to take a look, it was on fire.Bai Yutang picked up a fire and put it to Zhan Zhao's mouth: "It's a bit dry, let's make do with it."

Zhan Zhao thought to himself, it's true that he was in a hurry, but if he didn't eat at all, if he got into trouble with this person, it would definitely take more time.Thinking of this, he quickly took it, quickly bit into his mouth, and started chewing.He eats so fast, it is inevitable that some scum will stick to the corners of his chin and lips. He doesn't realize it, but Bai Yutang frowned, and wiped it off for him with a look of disgust: "Eat slowly, no one will follow you." Rob."

It's true that no one came to snatch the food, and it's not a big deal to occasionally eat a bite alone with the adults behind the back of the adults, but it's really late.Swallowing these mouthfuls of fire with cold tea, Zhan Zhao grabbed his hat and straightened it, and cast a helpless glance at Bai Yutang who was squatting on the stool and giggling inexplicably.No matter what, he has to rush to wait on Mr. Bao to go to court.

Besides, as soon as Zhan Zhao walked away, Bai Yutang jumped off the stool and stretched, and he also broke off a corner of the fire and chewed it slowly - it turned out that it tasted dry and hard, and he traveled half of the capital to buy it. Yes, it has long been cold, and it is really hard to swallow.Bai Yutang was used to fine clothes and fine food, so he didn't bother with his tongue, so he just dropped the thing, wandered into the yard, and jumped on the eaves, biting the straw in his mouth, watching the people who got up early in the mansion Come and go.Those carrying water, chopping firewood, pouring night fragrance, they are very lively just looking at them casually.Tsk tsk, even the official yamen in the most benign place in the world is actually no different from the small people in the wild towns in border towns.

Looking at the kitchen behind the government office, smoke is slowly rising from the chimney.Presumably, the chubby Aunt Zhang in the kitchen started to cook breakfast for the people in the house. I don’t know if it’s still thin-skinned meat buns today.Bai Yutang rubbed his belly, he didn't sleep much all night, he was already hungry.

"Bai Yutang!" Suddenly, a semi-angry cry sounded in the courtyard.

Bai Yutang didn't need to look to know that Zhan Zhao had returned.But if you don't watch such a good show, you will be at a loss - as soon as he lowered his head, he gave Zhan Zhao a "wait for me" look.

Zhan Zhao glared at Bai Yutang, and hastily opened the door to enter the house. Bai Yutang also took off the half-gnawed straw stick and stuck it in the cracks between the tiles, and jumped off the eaves to chase after him.

Hearing Bai Yutang enter the door after him, Zhan Zhaoli ignored him and just dipped in water to wipe the "beard" on his face.He finally picked up the dusty bronze mirror and hung it aside. It reflected the black ink marks on the cheeks of Lord Yumao, three on the left and three on the right. Just looking at it is still clear.

Bai Yutang got a slap in the face, but he wasn't depressed, instead, he cheerfully stepped forward to help pass the saponin and lift the mirror, even more so than gesticulating to Mr. Zhan where the imprint was the heaviest.

Just wiped it for a long time.It is really Bai Wuye who is well-informed and has a unique eye. The ink is well picked and the printing is solid.Zhan Zhao's face was completely red, and there were still six beards on one side, faintly imprinted on his face - he took the mirror and looked at it again and again, even if he didn't pay attention to his appearance, it would be a waste if he wanted to go out and meet people like this It is absolutely impossible.

Zhan Zhao reluctantly threw the handkerchief back on the rim of the basin and hung it up, staring at Bai Yutang angrily and amusedly, and was about to speak, when he heard a knock at the door of the mansion far away, and two shouts, it was Master Bao getting up the sedan chair and entering. Palace went.Since we can't wait for Zhan's guards to go out, and the time of going to court can't be missed, my lord only takes the four major lieutenants out. There is no other way; It was a voice full of breath——

"Who has no brains! Burn my old lady's pot!"

Aunt Zhang's sound was earth-shattering, even the crows standing on the eaves flew up, and all the busy people in the house stopped to listen carefully.Listen to it again, but it's just cursing indiscriminately.

Seeing Zhan Zhao's doubtful face, Bai Yutang shrugged his shoulders: "Ah, I also think that some biscuits are too dry, I want to boil you some hot water, who knows that the big kitchen of Tangtang Kaifeng Mansion even has a pot It couldn’t help but burn—it cracked before Wuye added any water into it!”

"..." Zhan Zhao was stalked by him, thinking that this is really a child who hasn't grown up.He became more and more ruthless, and after thinking about it, he calmed down and persuaded, "Brother Bai, if you haven't done this, you really don't have to force yourself. Confucius also said that 'a gentleman stays away from the kitchen', manly man, no It’s not ashamed to do that.”

"Ah, it's such a beautiful morning, what are you talking about?" Bai Yutang dropped the subject and ignored it, "Anyway, your adults won't take you with them when they go to court, so why don't you go out to eat with Fifth Master? It's okay! You take Cover it with a bamboo hat, and no one will be able to see your true form!"

It's okay not to mention this, but when he mentioned these beards, Zhan Zhao finally remembered why he was angry before: "How dare you say—white mouse, what did you do this morning?!"

Yoyo, my temper finally came up.But this cat lord has a straight back even when he pats the table, and with his current face, he is really indescribably cute.Bai Yutang coughed lightly, and turned to the window to pretend to look at the scenery: "I didn't do anything, just Mr. Mao, you are such a sleepy old man. If bad guys come, they can directly touch your dead spot."

Zhan Zhao felt that he had never been so helpless in his twenty years of life.Since he couldn't explain why he was so wary of Bai Yutang who was sleeping next to him, he had no choice but to pick up his teacup to cover it up—but Bai Yutang who just turned his head stepped forward and snatched the cup: "It's cold, you wait Come on, Master Wu will go to the kitchen to change the hot water for you!"

Hot water.

In the blink of an eye, it was already November, and the wind at the border of the Northland was already very cold.Zhan Zhao went back into the tent, poured out a bowl of hot water himself, and didn't rush to drink it, he held it to warm his hands for a while, and then slowly sipped.His face was very calm, and he couldn't tell if he was thinking about something.

While in a trance, suddenly the cotton curtain was lifted, wrapped in cold wind and dust, a sergeant hurriedly poked his head in and called, "Master Zhan, there's..."

"Okay, here we come." Without further ado, Zhan Zhao put down his half-drunk tea bowl, and went out of the tent again with his sword in hand.Although he came here to investigate under the secret order of the royal family, after many days of getting along, the attitude of these soldiers towards him has changed from respectful and cautious to casual and natural, and they didn't hesitate to ask him to help him or something.Of course, every sword was swung for the countless fathers and elders of the Great Song Dynasty in the thousands of miles of land behind him. He liked this kind of passionate feeling from the bottom of his heart.

I just don't know what happened to that one who volunteered to investigate the case for himself.

Maybe they are still running all over the mountains and fields to investigate, and the horseshoes have left two long lines in the snow under the moon; maybe they have already got a clue, and they are rushing back to the island at this time, wanting to drink a bowl of steaming Laba porridge?The child seems to love to play and play, but in fact, there are not many friends in the world who can accompany him crazy. Fortunately, there are a few brothers and sisters-in-law on the empty island to take care of him, so he grows up to his current appearance.For this alone, I should thank God.

Zhan Zhao turned back with a sword flower, and in the bloody light that burst out in front of his eyes, there were faintly broken snow particles falling down again.
