The Wind Rises Chapter 8 The rain washes away troubles

The atmosphere on Yushui Street seems to be a bit dreary lately. Ye Qi of the sixth household has not been very active recently, and this guy will visit the streets every day when he has nothing to do. In addition to the Xi'an Gate of the seventh household, he is not a string, it is Zhiqiu who beat him, and Ye Qi occasionally has to "visit".

However, Ye Qi recently found that the second brother's face was not very good, and he didn't dare to go up and ask. Usually Mian Zhi taught him the most, what not to go out and fool around with other people on the street, what to let him study hard and so on, Ye Qi's ears were almost out of the cocoon. So he didn't dare to ask the second brother what had happened recently, why he had been sad.

But Ye Qi turned around and forgot, what's wrong with him, what can the second brother do anyway.

Not only Ye Qi noticed, but even Ji Zhengyi, who was dedicated to "cultivating", noticed that Mian Zhi was absent-minded. He went out several times and met Mianzhi, and when he greeted him, Mianzhi didn't even hear him. It wasn't until Ji Zhengyi shouted several times that he came to his senses. Then after saying hello, he walked briskly again.

Ji Zheng felt strange, so he took a few pieces of meat and went to Mian's house at night. But he didn't find anyone, he always felt that Mian Zhi had something to hide from him, and he didn't feel very relieved, so Ji Zhengyi took the meat and went to find Zhiqiu.

It just so happened that Zhiqiu was lying in the yard in a daze.

"Hey, Xiao Zhiqiu, do you know what's going on with Mianzhi lately? I saw him today, and I felt that he was quite strange, not quite like usual. I greeted him, and he was stunned for a long time before replying to me, obviously on his mind. Ji Zhengyi walked in and casually put the meat on the ground.

But after three or five minutes, Ji Zhengyi found that Zhiqiu didn't react. So he fed loudly a few more times, and Zhiqiu came back to his senses. But apparently not because of the screams, but because of the pieces of meat on the ground.

Zhiqiu was not polite, picked up the meat and gnawed it.

Ji Zhengyi was not surprised, and continued: "Xiao Zhiqiu, you have also eaten meat, you should tell me why the second brother has been like this recently, right?"

"Hmm... It's true that the stupid big guy hasn't been here lately, and I met him the other day in the same situation as you are today. But his mind is quite normal, and if he asks him something, he can answer it, nothing special. Zhiqiu was eating meat and muttering in his mouth.

"Xiao Zhiqiu, do you say it's because of the matter of the knife? I heard that there was nothing a few days ago, and the knifeman disclosed the "secret" of their gang, saying that the knifeman will be an organization that takes money to do things for others from now on. As for whether it is good or bad, and which thing to choose, it is not clear. Moreover, I heard that they were quite large, and I wondered why he would take the people from Yushui Street to meet them for a while. Ji Zhengyi obviously didn't quite understand what Mian Zhi was doing, and as he spoke, his brows were still furrowed tightly.

"It's not that you don't know how to do things, that stupid big man, he still makes a living in a fight, but his brain doesn't feel very good. When he first came to pull me in, he told me that it was because the development of Yidaoke was too fast, and he also heard some rumors that Yidaoke was not good. What is it to get rid of the small gang or something, that's why he stubbornly wants to find trouble with a knifeman. But he didn't want to think about it, even if the swordsman was really like this, just a few of us, what could he do against them? But even if he couldn't beat them, what if he couldn't beat him? He was so stubborn in doing things, which of you could say that he could move him? An An of the seventh household could, and he reluctantly always treated her as his own sister. But An An is so young, what do you know?" Zhiqiu said after eating the meat and lying in the courtyard again.

"Then you mean, all the trouble he wants to find a knife is for the sake of Yushui Street?" Ji Zhengyi seemed to gradually understand something.

"The children can be taught!" Zhiqiu learned from those masters to speak, but he looked like him.

Ji Zhengyi didn't care about what Zhiqiu said, and said to himself: "No, it stands to reason that Mianzhi should know the latest news of Yidaoke, and he should be happy, why is he still sad?"

"Maybe it's something else. Zhiqiu looked at the moon and said casually.

What is the only thing that can make people sad?

"Anyway, when the second brother comes back, I'm going to talk to him in detail. Ji Zheng was together, ready to leave.

"Okay, it's none of my business to talk about your two brothers, but your recent studies can't be wasted. Zhiqiu put on a posture of teaching and educating people again.

Ji Zhengyi looked a little bored, and replied: "Xiao Zhiqiu, how are you doing as a buddy in the bookstore, how many big characters can you read? How many words can you write?"

"Well, it's improving every day, it's improving. Zhiqiu smiled.

"Alright, I'll go first, warn you, don't put on a look like this just because you're a few years older than me, I don't like it very much. ”

"Hey, hey. ”

After Ji Zheng left, Zhiqiu looked at the moon again.

The moon is not very beautiful, and it is a little broken.

When will anyone be concerned about whether I have something on my mind?

"Come out, didn't you agree to see you once a month, maybe it's to see if I'm dead?" Zhiqiu suddenly said to the "air".

With a "whoosh", a dark shadow appeared on the roof. Masked, dressed in black, with a short sword in his hand. The masked black clothes bowed slightly to Zhiqiu. Then he said: "Childe, someone is here in the capital." ”

"Oh, it's been three years since they found me, when did there be so much waste in the capital? I guess, it was sent by Wang Shangshu? It's not like that, although the old man has a heart, he may not have the courage. Is that the second prince? He has the guts, and his strength is enough, but his temperament can wait for three years?"

"Forget it, I can't guess, let's say, who's coming?"

"Hui Gongzi, the second prince has come to Beijing. The masked black man said.

"Chengde, what is that kid doing here, although he has some grudges with him, but he doesn't need to take the risk of coming to someone like me. Who else is following him besides?" Zhiqiu was a little puzzled.

According to reliable sources, it seems that he is the only one who came to Suzhou. As for whether there are any eagles around, I haven't found it yet. Childe, is it really okay for the second prince to come?" the masked black clothes couldn't help but ask.

"There are things, but they shouldn't be life-threatening. How much do you know about the recent events in the capital?"

"I don't know, you know, Childe, I've been by your side for the past three years. ”

"It seems to be the same, forget it, you should step back first. In the future, if you have something to do, try to see me on that special day every month, let people see that it's not good, the strength of the Mianzhi next door is not as simple as you think. I don't want him to find out anything. Zhiqiu rubbed his head.

"Okay childe. As soon as the words fell, the masked black clothes disappeared.

Who is playing this game of chess and letting the two princes run to Suzhou?

It seems that something has indeed happened in the capital in recent years. It's a pity that I didn't participate, thinking about it, Zhiqiu gave myself a slap again, and when did I still want to participate. It's not a long memory at all.

Wait, the second prince came to Suzhou alone? Who guarantees the safety? In case of death....

"Hey, I know you're still here, you send a few people who are skillful to follow Chengde and protect him from accidents. If you see the eagles, don't start a conflict and just withdraw. Zhiqiu said to the air again.

The other side of the roof laughed awkwardly, but still replied, "Okay son." ”

After three years of spying on me, I wonder if this masked shadow has never left?

Zhiqiu didn't bother to care, and he also knew that it was someone in the family who arranged it for his own safety.

The long night was long, but unfortunately I couldn't sleep, after knowing the news tonight, Zhiqiu had already expected that the peaceful life of the past three years was estimated to be broken. As for whether the second prince is friend or foe now, I don't want to figure it out.

I just want to figure out one thing: why did the second prince come to Suzhou?

After thinking left and right, he couldn't figure it out, so he walked out in the moonlight. As he walked, he saw the teaching gentleman, and Zhiqiu remembered that his surname was Wen.

Mr. Wen was holding a black umbrella in his hand, and it was clear that it was not raining, but he still stretched the umbrella over his head. He saw a young man in the distance walking slowly, unhurriedly. He knew this young man, and when he went to Ji Zhengyi and An Wu's house, he saw this young man when he passed by his door.

"Hello, Mr. Wen, I'm Zhiqiu from Yushui Street. Zhiqiu walked up to Mr. Wen and introduced himself.

"Hello, Zhiqiu, I remember you. Mr. Teaching also replied.

"Sir, why is he holding a black umbrella so late?" Zhiqiu couldn't suppress his curiosity, so he asked bluntly.

Mr. Wen wondered why the boy didn't follow the path and asked why he remembered, but instead focused on a black umbrella. But he didn't care, and said to Zhiqiu with a smile: "No, is it raining?" ”

Zhiqiu was slightly stunned, thinking to himself that this day looked cloudless, what kind of rainy day it was.

But just as he was thinking about it, the rain just came, and it was getting heavier and heavier, and suddenly Zhiqiu found that Mr. Wen's umbrella was gradually leaning over.

Hey, this Mr. Wen is really a god, it's clear when it rains.

However, Zhiqiu refused Mr. Wen's umbrella, and he said to Mr. Wen: "Thank you, Mr. for the umbrella, but I have been worried recently, since it is raining, then I have to go to the rain to shower, by the way, wash away this trouble." ”

Mr. Teaching was stunned for a moment.

How can anyone go to the rain when there is something troubled in his heart?

But he didn't say much, and after withdrawing the umbrella, he smiled and watched Zhiqiu run into the street to get drenched in the rain.

Can rain really wash away worries?

Mr. Wen smiled, turned around and walked a few steps back into the house.

This boy is quite interesting.

Not far away, a dark green girl stood on the roof with a small green umbrella this night, watching the boy in the rain.

The boy smiled merrily, ignoring his clothes and letting the rain lap against him.

But the girl couldn't laugh no matter how she laughed.

When this man was drenched in the rain, he looked like a fool.

However, it is a little lonely.
