Chapter VII: Confluence

In the early morning, Wang Feng, who was dreaming of spring in the comfortable bed, was woken up by a burst of high-pitched rooster crows. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, cursed the rooster that had woken him up and gotten to get dressed. Zhang Weixin, who was on the bed next to him, had also gotten up, walked to the window and pushed open the window, seeing that it seemed to be just six o'clock in the morning, and he took a few breaths of fresh air, only feeling refreshed. Not long after, a servant of the Zhong family brought washing water, towels, salt, and a few willow branches that Wang Feng didn't know what they were used for, and asked them to wash them first, and told them to have breakfast in about half an hour. After the servants retreated, Wang Feng came to Zhang Weixin's side and asked, "Teacher Zhang, what is he doing with salt and willow sticks for us this early morning?" It wouldn't be eaten for breakfast, would it? He made Zhang Weixin laugh strangely with one sentence, and he didn't have the serious appearance of being a teacher at all. made Wang Feng quite depressed, gritted his teeth and cursed him to laugh his teeth off. Seeing his expression, Zhang Weixin hurriedly stopped laughing and said, "That's not for eating, if I'm right, it should be for brushing my teeth." As he spoke, he began to learn the methods he had seen in the book, using willow sticks to clean his teeth and rinsing his mouth with salt water. Wang Feng did what he did, and finally finished the morning washing procedure.

After washing up and seeing that there was still some time to eat, Wang Feng had nothing to do, so he threw off his shirt and exercised in the courtyard where he lived. Running with high legs, push-ups, sit-ups, a series of activities, and a few punches and kicks before stopping. Zhang Weixin, a person who is not interested in sports, was driven by him to move his body for a while. Just when Wang Feng showed Zhang Weixin his angular eight-pack abs, he didn't know that outside the door, a pair of beautiful big eyes were also watching his toned body through the crack in the door, and he was hesitating about whether to break into the hospital to question him. The owner of these big eyes is naturally our Miss Zhong, she originally wanted to spy on these two strange scholars, but she didn't want him to see this scene.

The eldest lady had already arrived outside the door when the servant sent the toiletries, and the servants at home were silent after her signal, so the two people in the courtyard did not notice that there was still a beautiful woman watching when they were washing and exercising. Although Miss Zhong saw the two of them at the banquet last night, she turned around and ran away because she just glanced at them in a hurry, because she didn't see the appearance of the two clearly, but she couldn't help but praise in her heart when she saw them today. The one who looks older is just that, and the long one can only be regarded as average, which is not as good as the "dog skin plaster" Xu Gongzi. The younger one was a handsome young man who was rarely seen, and he was also tall, estimated to be eight feet tall. Although the skin is relatively white, it is not the kind of weak white-faced scholar. There is a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, giving people a sense of vitality. Especially when he was exercising, the muscles that were strong and graceful and beautiful, with a handsome face, made him reincarnate as a Zhou Gongjin. So Miss Zhong was dazzled by this contemporary Zhou Gongjin, in addition to blushing and heartbeat, she had already thrown his martial arts skills out of the clouds.

When Miss Zhong was admiring "Zhou Lang", she was suddenly patted on the shoulder. This startled her, "Ah! With a loud scream, he turned around suddenly, but saw his brother standing there motionless, probably frightened by her scream, and didn't understand that his sister weishenme reacted so strongly. At this time, Miss Zhong was angry because she was broken by someone who was peeping at a beautiful man's half-naked martial arts, and shouted angrily to her brother: "What are you doing? Young Master Zhong, who was startled by her shouting, also reacted at this time, and asked strangely: "I came to call the two sons to dinner, what are you doing here?" Miss Zhong was speechless when she was asked, and she couldn't say that I came to see a beautiful man practice martial arts, so she said trickily: "I want you to take care of it." After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran away, and Young Master Zhong was very inexplicable.

At this time, the two people in the courtyard heard the voice, and they had already come over to open the courtyard door, and when they saw Young Master Zhong standing there with an inexplicable expression, they hurriedly asked what was wrong. This Young Master Zhong turned around and saw Wang Feng's bare-chested and bare-backed appearance, but his expression became strange. Seeing the guest's question, he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Oh, breakfast has been prepared, and I have come to invite the two sons." Although Zhang and Wang were a little unclear, it was inconvenient to ask more, so they said "Youlao" and went to eat with him.

After breakfast, Zhong Yuanwai made an appointment with Lao Sun's son to run errands, so he asked Young Master Zhong to accompany the two guests and go out by himself. Then Young Master Zhong accompanied Zhang and Wang back to the guest room, and the three young people chatted again. During this period, the young master Zhong seemed to inadvertently ask about the age and marriage of the two, and the two didn't care. Zhang Weixin said that he is 35 years old, has been married for many years, and has a son. However, his wife and children were separated in the storm at sea, and it is estimated that something happened to him. Speaking of which, since the crossing, he has never shown his emotions, thinking of his wife and children who will never see him again, he can't help but feel sad, and Zhong Gongzi can't help but be relieved when he sees this. Wang Feng watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but empathize, thinking that he would never see his parents and friends again, he was also very sad. Zhong Gongzi had to persuade him again, but he also learned from Wang Feng's later introduction that he was 27 years old this year, unmarried, and now only one cousin had gone to Middle-earth with him. After receiving a satisfactory answer, Zhong Gongzi glanced at Wang Feng meaningfully, but Zhang and Wang did not notice it because of the sadness in their hearts. Several people talked for a while, and seeing that the two guests were not interested, Young Master Zhong also said goodbye in an interesting way, saying that he would call the two of them when he had lunch.

After Young Master Zhong left, Zhang and Wang were sad for a while before they finally collected their mood and began to discuss whether to wait in the village or take the initiative to go into the mountain to greet the rest of the team. After studying for a long time, I decided that after getting the information, I just went to the place where I broke up with Zeng Zhilin yesterday to greet me to avoid unnecessary trouble. After all, it is not yet certain that the bell is not a little wary of them, and it is easy to cause misunderstanding if they go into the mountain. Subsequently, Wang Feng took out a walkie-talkie from his backpack, adjusted it to the appropriate frequency, and then opened the window and put the walkie-talkie on the windowsill, which could reduce some obstacles. When the distance between the two sides is right, you can receive a call that the team may make. ,

Time passed minute by minute, and there was still no response on the walkie-talkie until after lunch. Zhang and Wang couldn't help but feel a little anxious in their hearts, and Wang Feng almost couldn't hold back several times and wanted to go into the mountain to have a look. They were not afraid that the team would have any accidents on the way here, but that Zeng Zhilin would make a mistake on the way back yesterday. After all, he was rushing back alone, something really happened, and there was no one to help. Just when they were getting more and more anxious, with a "beep" sound on the walkie-talkie, Zeng Zhilin's loud voice finally came out: "The main force calls the striker, and the main force calls the striker." Hear please answer, hear please answer. Zhang and Wang jumped up from their chairs almost simultaneously and threw themselves on the walkie-talkie. In the end, Wang Feng, who had practiced kung fu, took the lead, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said with a little excitement: "I'm a striker, I'm a striker." Please workhorse report position, please workhorse report position. ”

"We have reached a place about 500 meters from yesterday's breakup, please come and pick up the striker, please come and pick up the striker."

"The striker understands, the striker understands."

Zeng Zhilin's call was an order to act, and Zhang and Wang immediately put the walkie-talkie into their arms and rushed out of the courtyard to find Young Master Zhong Shiwen Zhong.

Zhong Shiwen, who was dragged out by Zhang and Wang, although he didn't understand how they knew the news of their companions' arrival, saw that the expressions on their faces did not seem to be fake, so he glanced at Zhong Fu, and took a few servants to go with them to the west entrance of the village. After they left, Zhong Fu also left the Zhong Mansion and hurried north.

Everyone came to the west entrance of the village and looked at the hillside not far away. After waiting for a while, I saw a figure appear on the hillside, one by two, more and more people, and finally a total of fourteen people appeared on the hillside. Here, Wang Feng waved his hand excitedly to the opposite side, and walked quickly with Zhang Weixin to meet him, Zhong Shiwen saw this and hurriedly followed with his servants. Over there, Zeng Zhilin also waved his hand to this side.

The two teams finally converged, Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin's hands were tightly clasped together, and everyone was a little excited, and several ladies couldn't help but shed a few tears. Of course, there are also people who see this kind of scene and feel a bit like XX teacher. After being excited, Zhang and Wang were busy introducing everyone, and everyone met with Young Master Zhong Shiwen Zhong one by one, and then returned to Zhong Mansion together.

Just when everyone was talking and laughing all the way back to the Zhong Mansion, on a hillside north of the entrance of the village, there were three people, one master, two servants standing, watching all this from a distance. And the master standing in the middle was the bell who went to Zhoukou Town to do business in the morning, but he didn't know how he went back and forth so quickly for more than 20 miles. Standing next to him were Zhong Fu and Zhong Gui. Seeing that everyone in the distance had entered the village, Zhong Yuanwai nodded to Zhong Fu. Zhong Fu hurried up the hillside that crossed the crowd's road. After a meal, Zhong Fu returned and shook his head at Zhong Yuanwai. Zhong Yuan sighed outside and instructed Zhong Gui: "You go and call back to County Lieutenant Chen, just say that my lord, I have found out that these strangers are indeed Han people who have returned from overseas, and they are not gangsters, and there is no need to arrest and interrogate." He helped a lot this time, and I will definitely come to thank you in two days. ”

"Yes, the little ones will go." Zhong Gui agreed, turned around and headed towards the east of the village. Zhong Yuanwai ordered Zhong Fu to go back to report to Young Master Zhong, while he paced towards Lao Sun Tou's house and arranged another time for him to take his son into the town.

Young Master Zhong welcomed all the "returnees" into Zhong's house, letting people watch tea while arranging accommodation. Although there were more than a dozen people in the traversal, there were quite a few rooms in the East Cross Courtyard where Zhang and Wang lived yesterday, and it was not crowded to settle them. Under the guidance of the servants, everyone handled their own luggage and other belongings, cleaned their faces and washed their hands, and was very busy.
