[Rat and Cat] Ten Commandments of Acacia

Chapter 2

"Then, what would you do if you were given another chance?" The old man looked at Zhan Zhao inscrutablely, and Zhan Zhao was stunned. He had never thought about this question before. Seeing Zhan Zhao's bewildered look, the old man haha A smile said: "If you were given another chance to choose, would you choose to know and love him until your death, or would you choose to meet him and wish him a happy life?"

Zhan Zhao was horrified when he heard the words, and looked at the old man in surprise: "Senior is..."

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that if you were given ten days to go back in time, what would you do?" The old man propped his chin and stared at Zhan Zhao.

"I will definitely choose the second option." Zhan Zhao blurted out without thinking, which made the old man look sideways: "Even if you forget him forever?"

"En." Zhan Zhao nodded.

"Hahahaha, remember what you said." The old man stood up and flew down the roof and said as he walked, "Remember, don't let him meet the former you, otherwise, those ten days will be invalidated immediately, and you will have no more money." Opportunity." Then the figure disappeared into the night.

Zhan Zhao's eyes widened. He didn't know what the old man meant. He saw that the moonlight was getting late, and thought that he had business to deal with tomorrow, so he packed up the wine jar on the roof, glanced at the moon, and collected his thoughts. , went back to his room.

After Zhan Zhao woke up the next day, he looked blankly at the environment he was in. This was not his room in Kaifeng Mansion at all, but an... inn?Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but pinch himself, realizing that this was not a dream, did he come to the inn alone in a nightmare last night?After thinking for a while, he touched the sword casually, stood up and prepared to go back to Kaifeng Mansion, but just walked out of the inn, Zhan Zhao looked at his attire, it was the blue shirt he often wore instead of the red official uniform, and looked back Looking at the inn behind him, Zhan Zhao was completely stunned. He clearly remembered that the inn was destroyed in a fire. Thinking of what the mysterious old man said last night, could it be...he really went back to the past?

So Zhan Zhao went to a fruit stall on the side of the street and asked the aunt who owned the stall, "Excuse me..."

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Zhan? Take a rest today?" The aunt smiled when she saw Zhan Zhao, and stuffed him with an orange. blocked.

"Auntie, Zhan would like to ask, what day is today?" Zhan Zhao was beating his mind, and he was completely stunned when he heard the date reported by the auntie—today is the day when Bai Yutang came to Kaifeng Mansion to compete with him .After looking at the sky, Zhan Zhao hurriedly bid farewell to that aunt, thinking that he must stop Bai Yutang from going to Kaifeng Mansion.

After taking two steps, he paused and touched his face. It is estimated that everyone in Kaifeng knows his face, and Bai Yutang must also recognize it. So Zhan Zhao glanced at the mask selling stall next to him, and walked away. In the past, after buying a half-faced white mask to cover the eyes and nose, he wrapped the scabbard of Juque with cloth strips. After he could not tell that it was an ancient famous sword, he hurried to the restaurant near Kaifeng Mansion, because he knew At that time, Bai Yutang liked to sit there and look at the Kaifeng Mansion not far away, thinking about how to make things difficult for him.

Sure enough, when he arrived in front of the restaurant, he looked up and saw a man sitting in front of the window of the private room upstairs facing the street. He was dressed in white and had a handsome face. There was a little sly smile on his handsome face, and his beautiful phoenix eyes slightly Squinting as if thinking of something, holding the wine glass in his left hand and propping his chin with his right hand, he was staring in the direction of Kaifeng Mansion, not knowing what he was planning.

Zhan Zhao stood under the restaurant in a daze, staring blankly at that handsome and flamboyant face, as if he wanted to imprint that face deeply in his mind, and then he remembered what he was going to do. Looking at the time, I guessed that I should be back from patrolling the streets at this time, so I turned my head and thought of an idea that would definitely offend Bai Yutang but would definitely disrupt Bai Yutang's meeting with his former self.

"Hey, does this guest officer need anything?" The waiter came over to say hello to Zhan Zhao with a plate, and Zhan Zhao looked at the plate in the second hand and asked, "Which table's food is this?"

"Huh?" Xiao Er didn't seem to expect Zhan Zhao to ask this question, so he was taken aback for a moment and said, "Serving the drinking guest upstairs... Sigh! What are you doing grabbing the food?"

Zhan Zhao ignored Xiao Er who was jumping, and ran up to the second floor with a plate in his hand. Standing outside the door of the private room, he took a deep breath, then kicked open the door, and took the plate away before Bai Yutang could react. All the dishes were placed on Bai Yutang's body, and the luxurious brocade robe was stained with oil stains. Bai Yutang looked down at himself, then at the masked strange man standing at the door with a plate, His eyes turned cold suddenly: "Who are you?"

"I..." Zhan Zhao opened his mouth, feeling that he couldn't say to him, "I'm Zhan Zhao, right?", so he quickly changed the topic: "Well, I'm sorry, I accidentally spilled food on you, How about I pay you a piece of clothing?"

"Huh?" Bai Yutang didn't know what expression he should use to look at Zhan Zhao, if he was not careful, he could pour vegetable soup all over his body, if he wanted to, would he plan to slap himself in the face?Can you rush in with the door closed and accidentally splash yourself all over?How careless this should be!So with a sneer, he looked at Zhan Zhao, who was wearing a cloth shirt, and said, "Compensation? The best embroiderer in Suzhou has been embroidering the cloud silk brocade for half a year. What compensation do you get?" Bai Yutang felt that he was really unlucky recently, and he didn't know where he came from. A royal cat came out, causing people in the Jianghu to think that he was the one who overwhelmed the five rats. When he arrived in Kaifeng, before he had time to beat up that stinky cat, he was doused in vegetable soup for no reason. Very innocent.

Fifth Lord feels that he has been a bit behind the scenes recently!How could he go to that stinky cat with a disheveled look all over his body?With just this attire, he could be thrown out of the city gate in embarrassment.So the fifth master, who became angry from embarrassment, was about to vent his anger directly on the person in front of him, but when he looked up and saw Zhan Zhao's eyes, even through the mask, he still saw the deep and complicated emotions, which made the fifth master feel uncomfortable: "You What kind of look? Hey! You stained my clothes and made me unable to attend the appointment, so what are you going to do?"

Appointment?Zhan Zhao was speechless, obviously you were the one who came to trouble me, when did I ask you out?He had no choice but to say: "I didn't do it on purpose, doesn't it mean that the dignified Fifth Master Bai doesn't have the courage?"

"You!" Unexpectedly, the person in front of him was eloquent, and Bai Yutang, who was caught off guard, didn't have time to think about how he knew his name, and widened his eyes: "You unreasonable guy, I see you I'm looking for a beating!" After that, he swiped the long knife placed by the table, and slashed at Zhan Zhao, although he knew that the name should not be placed on the head of the person in front of him, but because of this person, he couldn't help himself. Go beat that stinky cat, so as soon as the curved thinking diverged, I planned to take all my anger on the person in front of me.

Seeing that the knife was about to strike in front of his eyes, Zhan Zhao raised his hand and blocked Bai Yutang's knife with his sword. He originally planned to take advantage of Bai Yutang's anger and let him take his anger out on himself, so he followed the Bai Yutang's unrestrained personality may have left "Royal Cat Zhan Zhao" behind by this time!

That's right, Bai Yutang is smart and thoughtful, but the premise is that he concentrates on thinking of ideas and dealing with people, not on the basis of getting angry and impulsive.

After Zhan Zhao blocked two moves, he heard commotion downstairs, thinking that this place is so close to the Feng Mansion, he probably attracted the police, so he jumped out of the window, Bai Yutang narrowed his eyes: "I see Where are you going!" So he threw down the silver and chased after him, seeing that he was already some distance away from the Feng Mansion, Zhan Zhao turned around and looked at Bai Yutang, who also felt his anger dissipated after a fight It was almost done, so he asked, "I said, do I have any grudges against you?"

Zhan Zhao just stood there quietly and didn't speak, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up in a beautiful arc, it's so good to see you standing in front of my eyes, even though you don't remember me anymore.

Until standing in front of Bai Yutang's grave, looking at the bloody white jade cat sword pendant in front of the grave, and hearing that it was something that Bai Yutang had been holding in his hand all the time, his heart felt as if it had been crushed by someone. The pain of clenching made him finally understand his feelings for Bai Yutang, and at the same time understand his own position in that person's heart.

He didn't know what kind of mood he was in that day when he took the jade mouse off his sword tassel and buried it with the jade cat. Sora left the hollow pain that almost suffocated him.

Seeing that person staring at him in a daze, Bai Yutang frowned—could this person be crazy?He looked down at his clothes, flicked his sleeves and went back to the inn to change clothes first.

Zhan Zhao looked back and saw that he was leaving Kaifeng Mansion in a hurry with a large group of people. It seemed that a case had happened, and then looked back at Bai Yutang who was surrounded by the aura of "don't get close to strangers", Zhan Zhao smiled. I smiled, it seems that I successfully avoided it today.

Going back to the past from the future, as long as this change allows Bai Yutang to remain that wanton chinchilla and live his life out peacefully, maybe he will have a lovely wife and a lovely child, maybe he will never know He used to travel all over the country with the stinky cat he was talking about, but so what?After ten days, there is no possibility of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang meeting each other again, but as long as he knows that Bai Yutang will be happy and have a good life in the future, that's enough. As for whether it belongs to him or not, it doesn't matter anymore.

It is naturally impossible for Zhan Zhao to go back to Kaifeng mansion now, so he had no choice but to go back to the room in the inn where he woke up. Zhaochong nodded to him, and Fifth Master closed the door again with a blank expression.

Zhan Zhao shook his head and walked to his room.
