Chapter 135: Revisiting Wollongong
It was close to noon, the sun suddenly disappeared, black clouds surged from afar, and instantly covered the sky, and then, the wind was fierce, lightning and thunder, and the raindrops the size of beans fell, and in a blink of an eye, the heavens and the earth became confused, and the ears were full of huge sounds like waterfalls, click, and a lightning bolt crossed the sky.
Zhang Lang and his two entourage, who were returning to the inn, hurriedly hid in the tea shed on the side of the street. The tea shed was crowded with people sheltering from the rain, and there were still people running wildly with their hands over their heads in the rain on the street.
Many people saw that the rain couldn't stop for a while, so they simply found an empty seat and sat down, asked for a cup of tea and a plate of snacks, and ate and drank and chatted with peace of mind; Those who are shy in their pockets have to pestle under the eaves at the door, and those who are familiar with each other will talk nonsense to each other, and those who have no acquaintances will stand and wait.
Zhang Lang and the two guards went up to the second floor, found a seat by the window and sat down, and when they saw the two guards standing meticulously, they smiled and said, "Sit down!" ”
The two guards sat down.
A junior trotted over, "Guest officer, what do you want?" ”
"A pot of tea, let's have some snacks."
"Okay! Guest officer later! Then Xiao Er went down. After a while, snacks and tea were served, and after saying goodbye, I went to greet the other guests.
One of the guards washed the teacup for Zhang Lang, made tea, and then made tea for his companion and himself, but he didn't dare to drink it, until he took the first sip, and the two of them began to drink tea, drinking it in small sips, but it was not tasting tea at all, just to pass the time of boredom.
Zhang Lang turned his head to look out the window, only to see that in the vast rain curtain, the entire Xiangyang City seemed to have become an underwater dragon palace, the majestic rain was accompanied by thunder and lightning that crossed the sky from time to time, the original heat was swept away, and the air became exceptionally fresh and cool.
I inadvertently saw that the girl who blocked the road last night was sitting not far away drinking tea, accompanied by the maid I saw last night, both of them had some water stains on their hair, obviously they were wandering on the street when the heavy rain came suddenly.
Sun Ren also saw Zhang Lang, wrinkled the good-looking Qiong's nose, snorted, and turned his head.
Zhang Lang smiled, thinking that this girl was quite interesting. Thinking that she revealed her identity with a single word last night, I wonder where I saw her? After thinking about it, I really couldn't think of a clue, so I gave up, for Zhang Lang, this is just a trivial matter.
Sun Ren suddenly stood up, walked towards this side, came to Zhang Lang's side, and glanced at Zhang Lang, "You are really not Lu Bu?" ”
Zhang Lang smiled and asked rhetorically, "Do you think it's possible?" ”
Sun Ren thought about it, and felt that Zhang Lang, as a prince, really had no reason to run to Jingzhou alone, but she felt that he really felt like Lu Bu to herself, but she was not sure, Sun Ren only glanced at Lu Bu in a hurry among thousands of troops that day, and only had a general outline and impression, now that more than a year has passed, that memory has been blurred a lot!
Sun Ren sat down next to Zhang Lang and introduced himself very generously: "My name is Shang Xiang, what is your name?" ”
Zhang Lang smiled, "My name is Xiao Shi, and I am a businessman from Guanzhong. ”
Sun Ren asked curiously, "Since you are from Guanzhong, have you seen Lu Bu?" ”
Zhang Lang picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, thinking about the intention of the other party's question. Glancing at her, he found that her eyes showed a strong look of longing, and he was surprised, put down the teacup, and said with a smile: "Where can I see him as a trader?" ”
Sun Ren looked disappointed.
Zhang Lang deliberately teased: "Doesn't the girl like him?" Or did he abandon the girl in a mess? ”
When the two guards who were bored drinking tea heard this, they almost squirted the tea out of their mouths, and one of them choked and coughed there.
Sun Ren listened to Zhang Lang's words, he was stunned for a moment, then he was beautiful and red, and then he was angry and angry, hum! He turned back to his seat and sat down, but his mood could not be calmed for a long time.
The sword maid on the side hurriedly asked, "Childe, what did he tell you?" Why are you so angry? ”
Sun Ren said angrily to the sword maid: "Do you care so much about reality? ”
The sword maid sprayed ash and shrunk her neck, not daring to say anything.
Sun Ren couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhang Lang, seeing him looking at him with a smile, the anger that had just calmed down immediately came up again, glared at him fiercely, and snorted. Zhang Lang drank tea with a smile, and felt very strange: Who is this girl? It seems to feel a little familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it. Immediately thought of a possibility, and his face changed slightly: Wouldn't it be the girl who developed some relationship with Lu Bu before I crossed over? I couldn't help but look at her again, and felt that this girl was somewhat similar to Dong Ying, but she was relatively delicate, revealing wildness in her beauty, tall and tall, with a pair of beautiful legs that were particularly eye-catching, although her appearance was not stunning, but she was definitely a rare beauty, and there was a different kind of beauty under a man's dress.
Sun Ren felt that the man's eyes were so annoying, so he grabbed the teacup in his hand and threw it at Zhang Lang. Zhang Lang caught it and teased: "Is this a hydrangea?" ”
When the people around heard this, they all looked sideways, because Sun Ren was wearing men's clothes at the moment, and they didn't have Zhang Lang's good eyesight, so they could see that she was a girl.
Sun Ren stood up, snorted dissatisfiedly at Zhang Lang, and walked downstairs, and the sword maid hurriedly paid the bill and chased after him.
Zhang Lang smiled.
The rain stopped, and Zhang Lang and the three of them left the teahouse and returned to the inn. As soon as I entered the door, a guard came to report: "Childe, that Mr. Wolong is back." ”
Zhang Lang's eyes lit up, and he immediately ignored the fact that it was not early, and hurried out of the city on horseback with a group of guards. I rushed all the way to Nanyang and arrived in Nanyang the next day. After a little preparation, I rushed to Wollongong. The group entered the hill, the carriage and horses galloped, and when they passed by the stream, the tea shed had been demolished, and the woman named Wanzhen did not appear. Zhang Lang had a very profound impact on that woman, not only because of her beauty, but also because of her wisdom.
When the group came to the grass house, a scholar greeted them.
Zhang Lang turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists and asked, "Sir, is you back?" ”
Xiao Tong turned around and pointed behind him and said, "My second son is talking to Mr. Huang in the hall. ”
"Mr. Huang?! Huang Chengyan. ”
Xiao Tong nodded and welcomed Zhang Lang and his party into the courtyard. The boy asked Zhang Lang to take it a little and went to the hall to report it. A moment later, Huang Chengyan and a slender young man with a handsome face with a lupine scarf came out. The man glanced at Zhang Lang with a serious expression, and Huang Chengyan greeted him with a happy face.
