August 2nd.

…………

As usual, it was just dawn and I woke up from my deep sleep.

I don't know how long it was last night when those young people made a fuss.

After a night, the old house in the morning was still as peaceful as it was, and it seemed quiet and peaceful.

…………

I slept well, and yesterday's tiredness was basically gone.

I sat down at the kitchen table, drank a cup of tea, and headed for the room.

…………

The candles were still lit, and the room was a mess.

When I smelled it, it was so full of alcohol that I almost coughed up.

The doors in the hallway were wide open, and the windows were all closed.

The light from the outside shines in, setting off the inside of the house.

…………

The windows on the north and east walls are closed, but there is a small sliding window above for ventilation.

——— the position of the small window is quite high, almost close to the roof, so I can only pull the rope below to control the switch.

Even if it were all opened, there would be only a gap in the palm of a hand at most, but as a ventilation window, it would be more than enough.

…………

I cleaned up the messy bowls and empty jars on the table and swept the floor.

Looking at the garbage swept out, there are still two broken bowls mixed in——— the situation at that time, you can imagine.

The wooden chair had what they left off, and it was a booklet.

I remembered that before dinner last night——— An Zheng was holding a pen in one hand and this booklet in the other, writing and sketching.

…………

Could it be that after I went to bed last night, they pulled out the booklet again and continued to write and scratch?

…………

I came to a little interested and picked up the booklet.

It was a palm-sized booklet.

………

It is thin and light, and can be picked up effortlessly with one hand.

…………

I picked up the booklet and was about to take a closer look at what was on it, when I didn't intend to flip through it.

There was a slight sound of landing.

Something fell out of the booklet.

I was so surprised that I hurriedly picked it up——— it turned out to be a small letter.

I accidentally saw the chorus on the envelope:

Beggars ——— the last Zen.

The handwriting on the envelope is neat and decent. Is this the character written by An Zheng? That guy is cautious in doing things, but he can write like this.

………

"Beggars" may be the name of their recently separated squad.

…………

Beggars are the name of a banshee in ancient legends.

Accounts differ about her form.

Some say that she had three heads, with the faces of a little girl, a maiden, and an old woman;

It is also said that she is a deity, and when she is quiet, wonderful things will happen.

Maybe the woman named Xiaolan mentioned by the wind dagger last night is their beggar's union for the people in this group, right?

…………

I put the booklet back on the table, sat down on the wooden chair, and took a sip of tea.

Opening the closed window, it was not very good outside, and the dark clouds seemed to be slowly sinking.

It's going to rain.

…………

The four young men had only seen them at noon.

The first to come down from the second floor was the Wind Dagger.

At mealtime, he sat on a wooden chair in the guest room, sipping the bitter tea I had made for him, and apologizing to me for the noise I had made last night.

…………

"Those guys are making a fuss too late."

"It's okay, I slept well." After saying that, I asked in turn, "What about you?" Bed early? ”

"I went into my room about midnight, and then read a book on my couch for a while, and got up late this morning."

"Feeling better?"

"Almost."

"Do the others want to sleep a little longer? How should this meal be prepared? ”

"Yes...... "Wind Dagger looked out the window at the gloomy sky, "those boys are waking up too." You can just prepare the meal. ”

…………

The wind dagger was right.

After a while, the silence came down.

After a while, Feng Ji also went downstairs.

The eyes of the two were swollen and swollen, and they walked swayingly, as if they hadn't woken up from yesterday's wine. They were pale and didn't look like they hadn't woken up. It looks like he's seriously ill.

…………

"Hot water, I want to wash my face!!" Feng Ji said to me with a displeased face.

"It's my business." I cursed in my heart. But on the surface, he still bowed down and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." I'll prepare hot water for the young master of the wind right away. ”

I had something to say, and there was a hint of sarcasm in my tone.

…………

After noon, An Zheng had not yet come down.

When the meal was about to stop, the wind dagger stood up: "I'll go and call him down." ”

…………

"Forget it, forget it, that kid must be ........."

Feng Ji stopped him, "That kid must still be dizzy." He'd been drinking a lot, and he certainly hadn't come to his senses yet. ”

As they spoke, I was pouring tea into my own teacup, and the wind dagger squinted at my expression and glared at the wind table.

"Do things in measure. You guys are ......... nonsense."

"Understood, understood, Master Wind Dagger." After sending away the wind dagger, Feng Ji pulled his long hair upward, "Last night, An Zheng's kid said that Liling City is also a good place, and I really convinced him." ”

"It seems like there's a lot going on in his family."

"Yes. An Zheng often muttered there one by one, saying that he was useless........."

"Really?"

"I'm afraid to get acquainted with him like that."

Feng Ji grimaced, and said to the silence on the other side, "Right? In order to seek his approval.

…………

Immediately after, he turned to me again, "Uncle Park, do you think what I said is right?" Oh, and today, I'd like to take a trip to the Ten Mile City. ”

"Hanging out?"

I guess this kid is not a trouble-free master, and I don't want to do it in my heart, but I can't refuse, "Of course you can......... In a moment, I'll tell you how to get there. ”

"Don't have a map?"

"There will be one room."

"Then you don't have to tell me." Feng Ji swept one of the silences, and showed his front teeth with a smile, "Anyway, if the silence wants to go with me, he can help me find my way." ”
