Red Dust Inn The sixtieth chapter of the door god
Through the thickened window paper, it is lightly spread on the brick floor in the house, like a wisp of silver dust, and like a winter frost.
Zhao Zheng was lying on the bed, and soon the nest was covered with heat, he turned his head sideways to look at the moon on the ground, thinking about the "Flower Path" in his mind, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier. Just as he was about to fall asleep, there was a knock on the door. The sound is soft, but it is exceptionally clear at night.
Zhao Zheng shook his head and opened his eyes. There were only three people in this courtyard, and it was either the eyeliner or Li Zhenzhen who knocked on the door, and I didn't know who was disturbing his rest. Reluctantly, he rolled over and got out of bed, shoeed his shoes and opened the door.
Li Zhenzhen stood outside the door with an apologetic expression, a few fingers twisted together and placed in front of her.
"Lady Li, it's so late, what are you doing?" Zhao Zheng rubbed his eyes and asked.
"I was frightened during the day, and now when I close my eyes, I look like those corpses, and I can't sleep." Li Zhenzhen frowned slightly.
"Are you having insomnia?"
"Yes."
"You were still talking and laughing, it doesn't look like you were frightened." Zhao Zheng was a little puzzled.
"It was fine just now, but when I stayed in the room alone, I felt cold on my body." Li Zhenzhen raised her hand and touched her round fragrant shoulder, as if it was really cold.
"When you feel scared, you sleep with your sword in your arms, didn't you say in that secret passage that drawing a sword can strengthen your courage?" Zhao Zheng suggested.
"It's already being held, it's useless." Li Zhenzhen shook her head and said.
Zhao Zheng looked Li Zhenzhen up and down, figuring out Li Zhenzhen's intentions, in the middle of the night, a girl came to knock on the door, and kept saying that she didn't dare to sleep alone, which was really intriguing. He smiled a little and said tentatively, "What do you mean...... You don't want to sleep with me, do you? β
"You're beautiful!" Li Zhenzhen glanced at her and immediately denied it.
"And what do you want?" Zhao Zheng was deflated, but it's right to think about it, how can there be a good thing in the world that a girl sends to the door.
"I want you to stay at my door, I talk to you, you knock on the door, I know that you are outside the door, I am at ease, so I should be able to fall asleep." Li Zhenzhen explained the purpose of coming here.
"What? You let me stay at your door without sleeping? Zhao Zheng glanced at Li Zhenzhen in turn, "You can figure it out!" β
"Please, okay?" Li Zhenzhen pleaded, her voice was sweet and greasy, and she used her coquettish skills.
Zhao Zheng was very reluctant at first, but he couldn't bear Li Zhenzhen's coquettishness, and his heart softened, so he changed his mind. He sighed and asked, "Do you know what the most troublesome creature is in the world?" β
"It's a woman." Li Zhenzhen replied apologetically.
"It's a pity I'm a man." Zhao Zheng smiled bitterly and pointed forward, "Let's go." I'm going to be your doorman. β
In this way, Zhao Zheng played Li Zhenzhen's "door god", moved a chair to the door of Li Zhenzhen's room, sat on it, and draped a futon on his body. The hallway is not as good as the house, and there is a wind blowing in the hall, which is very cold. Zhao Zheng wrapped himself in a futon, secretly used his internal strength, and his body warmed up and dispelled the cold.
Zhao Zheng yawned, but he couldn't sleep, and he only hoped that the big woman Li would fall asleep early.
"Xiao Zhao, are you outside?" Li Zhenzhen asked suddenly, for fear that Zhao Zheng would leave behind her back.
"Knock knock." Zhao Zheng stretched out his hand from the futon and knocked on the door twice in response.
"Thank you so much today, I'm not scared to have you outside."
"Knock knock."
Li Zhenzhen stopped talking, and the room was silent for a while, but not long after, she said distressedly: "It's still not good." As soon as you close your eyes, you will remember those corpses. β
"Knock knock." Zhao Zhengyi frowned and knocked on the door twice.
"Actually, I'm not afraid of the dead, I've seen my parents kill the wicked before, but the appearance of those corpses in the secret passage is too terrible, much more terrible than the people who just died."
"Knock knock."
"I'll call you 'dong dong' from now on, and you'll make this sound when you knock on the door."
"Knock knock." Zhao Zheng smiled bitterly, his nicknames are getting more and more, Li Zhenzhen used to call him Xiao Zhao and Dian Xiaoer, and now there is another "Dong Dong".
Li Zhenzhen stopped talking again, and tried to sleep in bed, but she still couldn't sleep and couldn't sleep. When she couldn't help but think of those corpses in her heart, she opened her mouth to talk to Zhao Zheng outside the door, and after tossing and turning a few times, she finally fell asleep.
Zhao Zheng didn't know when Li Zhenzhen would be able to speak again, so he didn't leave rashly, but stayed in the chair, and over time, he also fell asleep. The night breeze blew slowly, and a strand of hair on his forehead fluttered lightly.
Nothing else was said all night.
In the early morning, Li Zhenzhen got up early, got dressed, and planned to go out to order Zhao Zheng to boil water in order to wash. But as soon as she opened the door, she found that Zhao Zheng was still sitting outside the door and did not return to the house.
The futon covered by Zhao Zheng's body slipped to the ground at some point, and he didn't have anything warm on his body now, and his body was so cold that he curled up into a ball.
Li Zhenzhen looked at the sleeping Zhao Zheng, and was greatly moved in her heart, and said secretly: "I really didn't expect that he would stay outside the door for me all night, it's so cold outside, don't make him frostbite." She hurriedly walked over, picked up the futon on the ground, and lightly covered Zhao Zheng's body. Her eyes fell on Zhao Zheng's face, and she saw that Zhao Zheng had beautiful eyebrows, a straight nose, and black hair like a waterfall, which was very good-looking, so she couldn't help but look at it for a while, and secretly said in her heart: "He looks quite handsome, and it makes people feel comfortable when he looks at it, and I want to see it again after reading it." β
Li Zhenzhen is at the age when love first blossoms, although she won't admit it, but in fact, the same age and different xìng will have a certain attraction to her, making her unconsciously want to get close. She pressed her face over and looked at Zhao Zheng's face up close, a strand of hair on her sideburns hanging down on Zhao Zheng's face.
Zhao Zheng slept very affordably, and he didn't know that there was a beautiful and cute girl who put her face so close, and if she got closer, she might have to kiss her.
Li Zhenzhen looked at it for a while, and suddenly said in her heart: "Why have I stared at a man for so long, what kind of system is this." She blushed, straightened up, and quietly left. She saw that Zhao Zheng was keeping vigil hard, so she didn't bother, but went to order the eyeliner to boil some hot water and wash up.
After the sun rose, Zhao Zheng also got up and stretched out on the chair. He only felt an itch on his face, raised his hand and grabbed a long strand of hair from his face, which looked like a woman's hair. He didn't think much of it, just thought it was floating on his face with the wind, and let go of his hand and threw it away.
Zhao Zheng stayed in the chair all night, and the bones in his body were a little uncomfortable, and he moved for a while before he recovered. He slept here last night because he was oversleepy, and now that he looks back, he feels very depressed, how can sleeping here be better than sleeping in bed.
"You're up." Li Zhenzhen pushed open the door of the main house, held a copper basin full of hot water, and walked in with a smile.
"Is this the water you boiled?" Zhao Zhengguan was stunned.
Li Zhenzhen rolled her eyes and lied: "That's right, it's me who boiled the water." β
"The sun is really coming out in the west."
"What, you're not satisfied?"
"Satisfied, satisfied, as long as there is hot water, I am satisfied no matter who boils it." Zhao Zheng picked up the bedding and sent it back to the house, then took the copper basin in Li Zhenzhen's hand, put it on the chair, and washed his face with water.
After washing, Zhao Zheng and Li Zhenzhen went out to find a tavern and opened a single room for breakfast, so as not to be disturbed. During the meal, Li Zhenzhen was unusual, very enthusiastic about Zhao Zheng, and sandwiched dishes for Zhao Zheng several times in a row, which made Zhao Zheng a little confused.
Zhao Zheng guessed that because he was the door god for Li Zhenzhen last night, he got such preferential treatment. He slept in the aisle all night last night, but it was really hard, and he accepted what Li Zhenzhen did.
After eating, Li Zhenzhen took out a handkerchief and wiped her lips, and then asked, "After eating, we should go to find out the news, right?" β
"Shhhhhh Zhao Zheng put down his chopsticks and made a silent gesture, although this is a single room, which can be soundproofed, but if he encounters a powerful martial artist with clear ears and eyes, even if there is a wall to block it, it is useless, and it will still be heard word for word. In this world, as long as you say something confidential and important, you have to keep your voice down, which is also the basic common sense of walking the rivers and lakes.
Li Zhenzhen naturally understood this, she stuck out her tongue and said in a low voice: "I know, you can say it." β
"After a while, we will go our separate ways, you go and inquire about the affairs of the two members surnamed Zhang and surnamed Zhou, and then inquire about what good friends these two people have. I went to inquire about the masters in Qibao County. Zhao Zheng leaned forward and said in the same low voice.
"Why do you want to ask if there are any masters here?" Li Zhenzhen was puzzled.
"If we blackmail those few people, they may go and ask the master to come out, so we have to inquire in advance, if there is a powerful and money-greedy master in the city, we will have to act at our discretion." Zhao Zheng explained.
"I see." Li Zhenzhen nodded.
"After the evening, let's go around the Hundred Flowers Pavilion and ask the begonia girl about the 'chΕ«n snow' girl, and confirm which Qinglou the 'chΕ«n snow' girl belongs to."
"I really didn't expect that I would go to that kind of place again."
"If you don't want to go, I'll do it myself." Zhao Zheng shrugged his shoulders, he was happy to go alone. That begonia girl is chic and has good piano skills, and it is really a beautiful thing to be alone with such a beautiful woman.
"You're beautiful!" Li Zhenzhen glared at Zhao Zheng, "I have to go with you, lest you go to Qinglou under the pretext of inquiring about news." β
"That's up to you." Zhao Zheng smiled bitterly and stood up, "Okay, let's go." Go your separate ways, and do your own thing. β
