"I used to resent my dad until I also embarked on such a path." ———————— Gezhuang

＞＞＞＞＞＞＞

There was nothing to do, but Zhuge Liang felt that this afternoon was very long, and although playing chess with Lu Jing and Li Yan would inevitably be chattering in his ears, he would not be as boring as he was now, and time seemed to pass faster than now.

After playing chess all morning, he also chose to kill time in the afternoon, which Zhuge Liang really didn't want to do. It's a good time to take a walk, and it's good to be able to reduce the pressure on digesting food and focus more on the recovery of the injury.

The snow outside has become a lot lighter, and it is falling sporadically and in fine snow, which is a great time to walk. So Zhuge Liang tidied up his hair a little, put on a coarse cloth crown hat, got up and walked out.

After resting so far, I haven't seen Diao Zheng come back, and Diao Qian went to Jia Hao's house after eating. And the naughty went to the hall early in the morning, and Ding also went to work in the workshop after finishing the fine work, and Zhuge Liang was the only one left, so he closed the door for him when he went out.

There were few people along the way, but Zhuge Liang didn't feel strange, but felt some familiarity because he had been in Yiwu for a short time. It has been a habit for many years to know the path from place to place, and even to every household. Because he always travels far away, every time he goes to a county, a county or even a township, he has to pay attention to the geographical environment such as roads, mountains and rivers. One is to remember the Tao, and the other is to be available in case of trouble, and the geography recorded over the years is far more than the small land of Juyiwu. So even if he didn't deliberately run all over the place, he remembered the road situation of Juyiwu clearly, and asked all the names of the owners around him.

It's easy to remember the road, as an outsider, you have to be careful if you ask about things, but if you ask from children such as Naughty and Li Wazi, you can always get what you want to know.

Of course, because there are few people in the dock, but there are only a few dozen households. The children are all gathered in the school, playing with each other, so they almost know who is naughty here and who is naughty. But there are some things that children can't touch, if you want to listen to these things, Lu Jing and Li Yan, Diao Zheng, and Diao Qian, the four adults who are currently closest to Zhuge Liang, are the only targets, that is, you must try to pretend to be casual when listening.

Zhuge Liang couldn't tell where the motive was, anyway, it was a habit, whether he asked directly or eavesdropped on the side, it was just instinct.

Out of Diao's house along the road to the north, is the direction of the workshop, and a little behind is the warehouse. Most of the goods in the dock are stored there, and those that cannot be sold and exchanged will be put back into the warehouse, and those that have just been produced and processed are also there, but there is a difference. Zhuge Liang went to work in the workshop when he was there, and he was a little shocked at that time, and the amount of goods stored in it was really a lot, which made people think that it was a peaceful world now...... There is such a large scale of commercial goods......

As we walked and approached the workshop, the laughter and noise of the female workers were heard. This made Zhuge Liang hesitate for a moment whether to go to the back door on the north side of Juyiwu, stopped for a moment, and only then did he plan to walk over while they were talking and laughing.

The closer you go, the louder the sound becomes, and from time to time you hear "Gezhuang... Handsome... Ning'er... Pretty... perfect match ......" and then there was a burst of laughter......

At this time, Zhuge Liang, who was too late to avoid the workshop, remembered Li Yan's words in the morning, so he should change his route to the school to take a look. Although I really want to go to the back door to see the back of the dock, so that I can add the front of the dock at the main entrance in the morning, I can save the time to find an opportunity to run up the watchtower to see the east, west, north and south, and see a comprehensive puzzle.

Knowing the exact location and direction is also well prepared to leave the place.

But at this time, Zhao Ning'er ran out, making Zhuge Liang, who had already raised his right foot and was about to change the route to the school, stunned for a moment, and put down his right foot again...... Greeted Zhao Ning'er with a slight smile.

Seeing Ge Zhuang suddenly also made Zhao Ning'er startled, and the other party also greeted her, and smiled. made Zhao Ning'er's already red cheeks hot, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at it directly, trying to run away. Unexpectedly, he tripped over a stone on the ground, and with a sound of "ah~", he fell on the snow.

Zhao Ning'er made a fool of herself, and she was anxious to get up and run away, but in a hurry, she twisted her foot and sat down on the ground again. He sat there with his hands on his ankles, and he didn't dare to raise his head to look at Ge Zhuang, for fear of seeing this already red face.

When Zhao Ning'er fell to the ground for the first time, Zhuge Liang was just stunned and didn't want to step forward to help her get up. But she forced herself to run away, and when she twisted her foot and sat down again, he ran up to help someone. As soon as Zhao Ning'er appeared suddenly, he hurriedly ran away, and if he fell like this again, he really confused him, and he was thinking about what happened for a while.

"Are you alright?" When he helped the person up, for the sake of etiquette, Zhuge Liang only gently grabbed his arm, "What's so hasty?" At this time, I have never felt that Zhao Ning'er is quite tall, and she has not completely stood up straight, and she is about seven feet and two inches bent over, if she stands up straight, she is not much lower than herself, but she didn't pay much attention to it when she helped in the workshop before.

However, Zhao Ning'er was busy trying to walk away quickly, and for some reason let Ge Zhuang hold on to it like this, her cheeks were as hot as if she was going to melt the attached snowflakes in an instant, and her heart was strangely fluttering, for fear of being heard by Ge Zhuang. "I didn't ...... It's okay...... Yikes! However, the plan to get away and walk away failed, and as soon as he took a step after getting rid of Gezhuang, he immediately lost his sense of balance, but fortunately, Gezhuang quickly supported himself.

"Shall I send you to Lu Bo? Not far either. When Zhao Ning'er was about to run away once or twice, Zhuge Liang thought she was busy with something, but when he helped her, he felt that her heart was beating fast, and he insisted on running away as if he was deliberately trying to avoid himself. Whether it's out of shyness or for whatever reason, 'not far away' should keep her from refusing, even if it's the first time to help a girl, it can't help but make him a little nervous.

Coupled with the few words I just heard from the workshop, I also know why Zhao Ning'er is like this. If you don't leave here quickly, it will be embarrassing for someone to run out of the workshop, and it will not be good to be seen on the way to help Old Man Lu. No matter what, another way doesn't work, that is, to help Zhao Ning'er cure on the spot. Because it depends on the situation, it is just a twisted foot, and with the medical skills that Zhuge Liang knows, it is still enough to treat this kind of small injury, even if he turns around, he still has to take medicine from Old Man Lu, so it is better to help her directly and hand it over to Old Man Lu for treatment.

Walking along the road is farther than going directly through the house from the middle, how to pass through Zhuge Liang also recognized the road, so he helped Zhao Ning'er over. But when Zhao Ning'er couldn't walk in this situation, he had no choice but to carry someone on his back, so he walked over.

But it did make Zhuge Liang feel a little unable to carry his back, although Zhao Ning'er was not serious, but he was still injured. At first, Zhao Ning'er was also unwilling, "Huh? This...... Don't, Childe, no. ”

"It's okay, I once had a woman carry it, and I carried it for a long time." After that, Zhuge Liang smiled at her, and carried the person on his back regardless of whether she minded or not.

After letting Ge Zhuang walk a few steps on his back, Zhao Ning'er asked shyly, "That...... Who was that woman? At Ge Zhuang's age, I'm afraid that he has already started a family, and when he thinks of this, somehow, Zhao Ning'er seems to be a little disappointed.

"My sister." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"At that time, my father and mother were away from home, and my eldest sister was in the care of her, who was only twelve years old at the time. But she had to take care of my second sister and me and my brother, and when my brother was only one year old, she held him in her arms and carried me on her back. Zhao Ning'er, who also had the experience of displacement, could more or less feel the longing for family contained in Ge Zhuang's tone when he said this, as well as his gratitude to his sister, and a certain indescribable feeling, as if he was resenting someone......

"Were there no servants in the house at that time?"

"Nope."

After hearing that it was his eldest sister who carried Ge Zhuang, Zhao Ning'er finally let go of his hanging heart, but listening to Ge Zhuang say this, his family's life did not seem to be as easy and rich as many people in the workshop guessed. I'm afraid it's really just what Ge Zhuang said, he's just a picture artist who has read some books......

"Where did Lingzun Lingmu go?"

"......" Zhuge Liang stopped for a moment, and the faint aroma from Zhao Ning'er's body on the side of his nose dissipated for a while, and then he seemed to smell some kind of blood...... The feeling of slightly painful wounds on her body while carrying her disappeared instantly, "Heh, only my haggard father has returned, and after three years, he will also die......" Zhuge Liang stopped wordlessly, and walked forward with Zhao Ning'er on his back.

“…… I'm sorry......" Zhao Ning'er's hands tightened tighter, and she also thought of her deceased father who died in the moth thief rebellion, and how hard it was for Aunt Zhao to bring her up later. There are also many people who ask Aunt Zhao to remarry, but she adheres to chastity, and would rather suffer more than remarry in today's trend of advocating remarriage. Now Zhao Ning'er is worried that Ge Zhuang will hate being asked this question, so he hates her......

"Haha, it's okay...... the deceased is like this, Zhuge Liang has already looked down on his parents' affairs, but he doesn't understand the "Tao" in their mouths at the last point, "...... They thought they had done something big, but they didn't expect this situation to be today, but in fact it was all because—"

"Yo, isn't this Brother Gezhuang?" Zhuge Liang was talking and was interrupted by Old Man Lu.

At this time, he reacted, it turned out that he was chatting with Zhao Ning'er, but Zhao Ning'er didn't listen to a word just now, she lowered her eyebrows and thought, "Will Ge Zhuang hate himself because of this problem."

After letting go of Zhao Ning'er, Zhuge Liang moved his muscles and bones for a while, and then said: "Okay, Lu Bo, Ning'er twisted her foot and handed it over to you for healing." I still have something to do, so I'm going to go first. ”

"Carrying it all the way, your injuries are fine, right?" Seeing that Ge Zhuang is so energetic, it should be fine, but Lu Jing still asked.

"yes, are you alright?" Zhao Ning'er, who also came back from the circle of "fear of Gezhuang and hating himself", echoed Lu Jing's concerned question.

"It's okay, I'll help you inform Aunt Zhao later, and let her take you back...... I'll go first. ”

After speaking, Zhuge Liang left without looking back, Zhao Ning'er watched his back disappear, Lu Jing was busy going into the pharmacy to get the items needed for treatment, and Zhao Ning'er was left waiting longingly under the eaves of the hall.
