It is said to be a rattan chair, but it is actually completely different from modern chairs, and is closer to the couch of this era, only the backrest is padded up for easy leaning.

The man lying on top was only of weak crown age, with fair skin and straight eyebrows. The clothes on his body were also simple and exquisite, but they were extremely densely woven and embroidered with dark patterns.At first glance, he looks like a kid from a rich family who grew up pampered.

This couple was born in a wealthy family, but they live alone in this barren mountain, without many servants around them. There are no servants in the courtyard. The steward knocked on the door just now, but no one answered for a long time, and they asked the hostess to open the door herself. Strange.

What is even more surprising is that the man in the yard not only looked dull, but also remained motionless when he heard the abnormal noise at the door, continuing to lie paralyzed like a disabled person who could not move.

The butler withdrew the strange look in his eyes, and before he had time to greet him, he saw a drop of crystal clear liquid left on the corner of the man's slightly opened mouth.

The woman who opened the door for them ran over quickly, took out a handkerchief from her arms, wiped the man's saliva, and said to them without turning her head: "Please go ahead, my concubine has to take care of my husband. Serve as an entertainer, don't blame me for being negligent."

The saliva dripped onto the woman's hand, but the woman didn't dislike it at all, and her movements were careful and thoughtful.

Such a scene, combined with the man's brocade clothes and fine appearance, made people feel inexplicably terrified.No wonder the woman said something like "the husband may scare some of you" after hearing their intentions.

The housekeeper did not rush into the house, but returned to Zheng Ping's side.

"Benefactor, look..."

Zheng Ping didn't have any special touch because of this scene, he watched all this with cold eyes, guessing the identity of the couple in front of him.

A couple who are either rich or noble live in a barren mountain with no attendants to serve them.That's all right.But in troubled times, and such a sparsely populated place, even if the two of them did not carry any expensive items, the woman's beautiful appearance, slim figure, and cloth clothes could attract the covetousness of greedy people.

Even if the two of them are lucky and have never met any vicious villains, this young woman lives alone in the wilderness, with only a demented and immobile husband by her side, she is not afraid at all?When the woman saw their group of strangers, there was no fear in her eyes, only a normal and calm look and vigilance.At the end, he frankly agreed to their request to rest here.

Such an abnormal behavior, if not born with a big heart, must have something to rely on.

Zheng Ping got up and got out of the car, and the attendant who was sitting in the driver's seat immediately jumped down first and stretched out his hands to help.

Zheng Ping paused and followed the attendant's hand to land safely.

Today, he is wearing a dark robe with elegant color and flowing cloud patterns on the cuffs, and the original owner's sharp color is gone, he looks like a weak and easy-going son of a big family.

He walked slowly to the gate of the courtyard, saluted the two of them, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "I am Zheng Ping, and I came from Xu County. I just met here on the way. I heard the clear birdsong, and I was afraid that the weather would be different, so I went forward brazenly." Come to bother me, borrow the two homes for a little rest."

Similar words have been said just now.At this time, Zheng Ping, the master, stated it again, showing more respect.

When the woman heard him talking about Xu Du, she didn't show any strange color.

But after hearing the second half of the sentence, he keenly captured the different information revealed in Zheng Ping's words.

"The weather is different? Why is there a different method?"

Zheng Ping's expression overflowed with a bit of lethargy, as if he was tired from the long journey.

However, he strictly abides by the etiquette of a gentleman in the family, and he is not good at neglecting or ignoring other people's inquiries, so he pulled himself together and answered seriously:

"In less than half a moment, the rain is coming."

Behind Zheng Ping, several guards who were separated from the door because of the viewing angle showed strange expressions.

Especially the few people who have witnessed Mi Heng's madness, compared with the madman who was stripped and shirtless in his memory, while beating the drum loudly, while cursing so loudly that people's eyes were full of gold stars, the weak state in front of him, Bin The polite scribes looked extraordinarily unreal, as if someone had lowered their heads.

Those with sharper eyes recognized that Zheng Ping's "gentlemen's manners" just now carried a bit of the shadow of Xun Yu in his servant, and the intentional lethargy in his brows was similar to that of Guo Jijiu under Cao Cao's account. On the spur of the moment, I took those two as models and dressed up to deceive the two people who didn't know.

The followers did not dare to question Zheng Ping's words and deeds, and lowered their heads to pretend not to see.

The woman didn't see the strangeness that these people had concealed, and all her thoughts were devoted to Zheng Ping's sentence "The rain is coming".

She raised her fair neck and looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky.

Thousands of miles are cleared, the autumn colors are just right, and there is no rain.

If it was summer, she might have thought about it a little bit.Now that it's autumn, she is not a mediocre person who knows nothing about astronomical phenomena, so how could she believe such words.

The woman immediately decided that Zheng Ping's words just now were just an excuse, and that this person must have a plan, even if he was not a tempter sent by "that person", he still had ulterior motives.

Her attitude became a little colder, pretending to tidy up for her husband, and ignored them.

Zheng Ping did not explain the formation of the topographical rain, and his eyes were on the jade ornaments hanging in front of the woman's skirt.

With a fluttering glance, he saw that the fingernail-sized white jade pendant was not a simple decoration, but a jade whistle that could blow out sounds.

According to his understanding of the aristocratic family in his previous life, this jade whistle may be the reason for a woman to dare to live in the mountains without the slightest timidity.

If her side is really a villain with bad intentions, the woman can definitely blow the jade whistle before they approach, calling for the Buqu guards lurking nearby.

And although this couple is pampered and well-groomed, the backs of their hands are well maintained, and there are no fine lines of labor.But these two people have thin calluses hidden in the palms, and their appearance is the result of years of sword practice.Even if he can't fly over the eaves and walk on the wall, he is not a person who has no power to restrain a chicken and lets others do what he wants.

Even more interesting...

Zheng Ping's eyes seemed to be unintentional, and with a little curiosity, they fell on the man with infatuated eyes.

He quietly observed the other person's face and limbs, and after a little inspection, he realized that this person was probably not sick at all, whether it was the dull look or the saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth, he was deliberately pretending.

Zheng Pingdang didn't notice anything, and said with concern: "The owner seems to be seriously ill. I am going out this time, and there is someone who is good at Qi and Huang in the preparation staff. Why don't you ask him to feel the pulse for the owner."

The woman's cold expression did not waver at all, she politely and bluntly rejected Zheng Ping's kindness, without any hesitation: "Thank you, sir. My husband has been sick for many years, and the genius doctor concluded that this is a difficult and serious disease, which is difficult to diagnose and treat... Your kindness is appreciated by my concubine." .”

After getting the expected answer, the corners of Zheng Ping's lips curled slightly, and he didn't say any more.

Seeing that the conversation had come to an end, the attendant obediently moved a small square scale from the car, spread it under the eaves, and invited Zheng Ping to take a seat.

Zheng Ping sat down generously, and called his followers to stand under the eaves together, waiting to shelter from the rain.

The woman watched all this with cold eyes, and waited patiently for Zheng Ping to take the initiative to show his flaws, to see what kind of tricks he was going to play.As a result, after waiting, he didn't wait for the other party to reveal his secrets, but instead waited for a few drops of cold water stains.

At first the woman didn't realize what it was, but when she realized that the water stains were rain from the sky, the rain had gathered like silver needles, weaving a dense net in the courtyard.

The woman's face changed suddenly, before she could get up, the man lying on the rattan couch bounced up first, like a swift wind, blowing towards the courtyard behind the house.

The guards standing next to Zheng Ping were stunned, watching the man's sudden fraud scene.

The woman didn't care about covering up, and also ran to the back of the house.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Ping suddenly felt a little familiar.

He asked his attendants to look around the eaves and ask if they needed help.

After a while, the attendant came back alone, knelt down beside Zheng Ping and whispered.

When Zheng Ping heard that there were indeed many bamboo slips piled up in the backyard, his eyes moved slightly.

According to historical records, when Sima Yi was young, he pretended to be paralyzed by wind and refused to be recruited by Cao Cao.Once, when someone was drying books in the yard, it rained suddenly, Sima Yi jumped up to collect the books, regardless of pretending to be sick...

Is there such a coincidence in the world?

Could this couple be Sima Yi and his first wife Zhang Chunhua?

As soon as this idea appeared, new questions arose.

If the man who pretended to be sick is Sima Yi... It is clearly recorded in the history books that Sima Yi pretended to be Fengbi, not madness.Fengbi will only cause joint paralysis and pain, and will not cause dementia.If that person is Sima Yi, how can he explain his dementia just now?

The timeline is also somewhat inaccurate.Zheng Ping remembered some details that did not match the historical records when he was in Xudu. For a while, he couldn't figure out whether these were deviations in historical records, or... This world is not the real end of Han Dynasty, but a parallel time and space relying on this world , or a fictional work related to the Three Kingdoms?

Because there were not many books to dry in the backyard, the husband and wife refused the help of the attendants, and took all the bamboo slips under the eaves in a few clicks.

They managed to shake off all the water stains on the bamboo slips, carefully wiped the surface with a sackcloth, and when they finished handling all the bamboo slips and were about to move them in, the rain stopped.

The sun as big as the bottom of the pot jumped out from behind the clouds, glowing and glowing.

... It's really raining.

Zhang Chunhua looked at her husband silently, only seeing his livid face.

Sima Yi exchanged glances with her, and when he heard footsteps behind him, he immediately fell back straight.

As soon as Zheng Ping went around to the back room, he saw Sima Yi, who was still alive and kicking just now, leaning back straight like a toppled statue.

He fell so fast that Zhang Chunhua didn't have time to help him, but passed him by and let him knock to the ground.

Hearing the extremely painful impact sound, Zheng Ping blocked back the words of concern that Zheng Ping was about to utter.

He even raised a little bit of surprise on a rare occasion.

This person... is acting too hard, right?
