Chapter 15 Uninvited Guest

After eating, Zhang Huan said goodbye to the master, Lin Pingping followed Zhang Huan nostalgically, to send him home, Zhang Huan saw that she had drunk a lot of wine, her face was flushed, and her feet were already slightly staggering, so she stopped her and said: "I'll go back by myself, you can rest early!" ”

Lin Pingping didn't speak, she didn't seem to hear Zhang Huan's words, she still stubbornly followed him, Zhang Huan had no choice but to follow her, until he walked to the gate of Nanshi, Zhang Huan turned back again and said: "Pingping, you can go back, otherwise I have to send you back!" ”

Lin Pingping rubbed the corners of his clothes vigorously, still silent, Zhang Huan shook his head, no longer paid attention to her, and walked away, Lin Pingping saw his figure disappear into the night, she bit her lip hard, her eyes suddenly turned red, and finally she couldn't help it, and she cried bitterly on the wall.

After a while, her crying gradually stopped, raised her head and wiped away her tears, but suddenly found Zhang Huan standing beside her, looking at her silently, and said to herself in a soft voice: "I'll send you back!" ”

The two walked slowly side by side, Lin Pingping's voice was a little sad, "Today, my father told me that my mother and I will go back to our hometown in Shu County next month, and our Lin family will disappear in Taiyuan in the future, and you don't have to eat my fried eggs anymore." ”

"I promised my master that I would go to Jiannan to see you!"

"It's better not to look at it or to separate!" Lin Pingping's voice became smaller and smaller, and gradually became inaudible.

Zhang Huan glanced at her, and suddenly smiled: "If I am admitted to the Jinshi and become a parent official, you can come to complain!" ”

Zhang Huan sharpened his voice, crossed his waist, and said in a flat tone: "Zhang Eighteen! If you dare to sentence me to lose, I will let you eat a hundred fried eggs every day! Saying that, Zhang Huan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lin Pingping laughed, turned around and raised his fist and hit, "You bad guy, I won't make fried eggs for you in the future!" ”

Zhang Huan grabbed her wrist, looked left and right, and said with an exaggerated sigh of relief: "It's okay!" OK! Didn't bring a pan. ”

Lin Pingping's smile suddenly froze, she looked at Zhang Huan blankly, Zhang Huan's face also became unnatural, he let go of Lin Pingping's wrist, looked up at the sky, and said with a dry smile: "The night is quite dark!" ”

Lin Pingping threw himself into Zhang Huan's arms, hugged his waist tightly, his face pressed against his broad chest, tears gushed out and fell down, Zhang Huan gradually gave birth to a sense of gratitude in his heart, he gently stroked Lin Pingping's hair, and said softly: "Go home!" After the provincial exam, I will definitely come to Shu County to see you. ”

"Then I'll wait for you!"

Lin Pingping pulled his sleeve and wiped away her tears, she didn't dare to look at Zhang Huan, turned around and ran back, and faintly heard her shout from afar: "Zhang Eighteen!" I will definitely go to you to complain, you dare to sentence me to lose, I will make you eat a thousand fried eggs every day......"

When Zhang Huan returned home, it was already very late at night, and the gate of Zhang's mansion had already been closed, but Zhang Huan's residence did not need to enter the gate, crossed the arched bridge, turned to the right, and walked hundreds of steps along the moat.

Along the way, dozens of Zhang family's side branches and concubines live next to each other, these are the lowest status clans of the Zhang family, and they don't even have the qualifications to enter the gate.

And he has excellent grades in the academy, he is the first among the children of the Zhang family every year, and he is also a little famous, many members of the Zhang family know him, and he should not live here for this alone.

The key is his mother, who was usually a son when he was a child, and Zhang Huan lived in Zhang's Mansion before he was ten years old, but after his mother became a monk, he was quickly moved to the outermost part of Zhang's Mansion, and his father Zhang Ruojun didn't seem to care, and even ignored Zhang Huan, as if he didn't have a son.

In Zhang Huan's memory, the last time he saw his father was seven or eight years ago, that time was the New Year's sacrifice to his ancestors, he and all his brothers and sisters got together for a meal, and gave his father a glass of wine, and since then there has been no news, even his half-brothers and sisters have rarely seen him once.

However, now that he is inexplicably in charge of the financial power of the Zhang Mansion, I don't know what kind of expressions his brothers and sisters will have when they hear it, maybe they will see it tomorrow.

Zhang Huan was bored for a while, if God could give him another choice, he would rather be the son of the Lin family, than the name of the fifth family in the world, and the warm feeling at the dinner table tonight made him unforgettable for a long time.

The door bolt was not plugged in, Zhang Huan pushed the door into the courtyard, there was no light in the three rooms, the dumb uncle had already slept, Zhang Huan was in a bit of a mess today, he stood in the courtyard and hesitated for a long time, and finally did not enter his own room, but pushed the door into his mother's room.

This is a room specially reserved by Zhang Huan for his mother, although his mother has never lived here for a day, but he longs in his heart that one day his mother can return to the world.

The room was very dark, there was a faint musty smell, Zhang Huan walked around the empty room, and finally stopped in front of a wicker box in the corner of the house, he squatted down and gently stroked the box, this is the only thing his mother left him, but he never opened it, I don't know what is inside?

Zhang Huan's hand trembled and touched the edge of the box, and he only needed to pick the box lightly to open it, but he retracted his hand suddenly, sighed, stood up and strode out of the room.

......

In the middle of the night, the dumb uncle knocked on his door gently, Zhang Huan turned over and got up, the time for night swimming was up, the fog was very big tonight, the gray was boundless, Zhang Huan walked out of the yard, the fog seemed to melt him, and made him feel like he was in a fairyland.

Today, Zhang Huan did not jump directly into the river, but chose a place with a riverbed, hugged a big stone and walked down slowly, until the cold river water did not pass overhead, until he reached the bottom of the river, and then slowly opened his eyes, surrounded by boundless darkness, in the dark water world, his irritable mood quickly cooled down, and gradually, he regained his former calm.

He threw away the stones, kicked his feet hard, and his body rushed upwards like a gray dragon, and Zhang Huan immediately opened his arms and slammed into the water, starting a new day.

The sky is almost bright, but the fog is getting thicker and thicker, as thick as milk, almost five steps away to see anything, Zhang Huan has swam to the sixth lap, with the familiar sense of water he knows very well where he is, now it should be very close to the arch bridge, at most twenty steps, suddenly, he has a strange feeling, he feels that there seems to be a person on the bridge watching him.

The moment he swam to the bottom of the bridge, he vaguely saw a man on the bridge, and then he heard the 'click' of his boots on the wood! Click! Crossing the bottom of the bridge, Zhang Huan stopped, and then carefully felt the movement on the bridge, and the person had left.

After swimming the sixth lap, Zhang Huan jumped ashore, as usual, the first thing he did when he entered the yard was to plug in the deadbolt, but today he hesitated, will Lin Pingping still come? He thought about it for a moment, and then plugged the deadbolt in.

But after walking two steps, he suddenly noticed something on the ground, what seemed to be a blue cloth package, he bent down to pick it up, and the package seemed to be a book, 'Who could have sent this?' Zhang Huan remembered the figure on the bridge.

The package was not knotted, Zhang Huan's hand shook, and the package opened, it was not a book, but an account, Zhang Huan's pupils suddenly contracted into a line, and a line of words was clearly written on the account book: 'Detailed account of large money and material expenditures'.

Zhang Huan suddenly smiled faintly, he already knew who the person on the bridge was.

......

'400,000 yuan, a one-time allocation to the Shannan Wang's family......

The account book is very new, and the handwriting still exudes a faint fragrance of ink, and it can be seen that it is re-copied, he turned a page, and there is an approval slip pasted behind it, which is the list of 400,000 yuan, and the applicant is Zhang Ruofeng, and the approver is still himself.

Zhang Huan looked at the ledger in a daze, the god of fate likes such pranks, and just when he didn't want to ask about it anymore, the mystery quietly appeared in front of him.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves from far and near outside the courtyard gate, and then 'Bang! With a bang, the dilapidated wooden door was hit on the waist in pain, only to hear Lin Pingping's fiery voice ringing outside the door, "Zhang Eighteen!" Are you undressed? ”
