The alley was dark, because it was quiet, the laughter and the sound of silk and bamboo drifting in the wind in the distance became clearer and clearer, although it was intermittent, but Xu Wenlan couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen.

Is this a played lute? The sound is cut, the strings are urgent, and the plucking is faster than the other, this tune, shouldn't it be an ambush on all sides?

Oh, that's exactly what happened.

It was already hot in July, and now she felt that her clothes were soaked with sweat, her palms were wet, and her forehead was sweating layer by layer, but somehow, her heart kept feeling cold.

They did not enter from the front shop, but went around to the alley behind.

Most of the houses on this street are like this, and many of them have opened the back door.

Uncle Zhu didn't go out of the door, but jumped up the wall a few times and jumped into the backyard of the antique store.

Xu Wenlan licked her lips, listening to the footsteps that gradually moved to the door, and somehow, the ghost reached out and touched the door, and with a "squeak", the door opened, which frightened her.

But this door is not locked, but only hidden.

Could it be that the person surnamed Shen is actually waiting for them to come?!

In a panic, Xu Wenlan turned around and grabbed Bai Shengwen: "It's a trap!" Hurry up and call Uncle out! What to do? What to do? If my uncle ......"

Holding Xu Wenlan's hand with his backhand, Bai Shengwen's eyes were cold, but he didn't mean to retreat: "Since the door is ringing, they should know that we are here!" ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and patted on the door: "I'm really embarrassed to visit late at night and disturb the master......"

As he spoke, he actually led Xu Wenlan into the door.

Asa didn't even think about it, and just followed.

Old Man Zhu stroked his beard and praised happily: "Sure enough, it is worthy of my grandson!" I said Shengwen, if you go to be a general, it must be good. ”

Bai Shengwen could still laugh at this time: "That's not a hit, if I go to rob Shengwu's job, won't he want to fight with me?" ”

Is now the time to say these things?

Xu Wenlan complained in her stomach, but her originally flustered mood calmed down strangely.

The four of them entered the hospital, met Uncle Zhu, and didn't say anything else, and went straight to the main room generously.

The door of the main room was also hidden, and a dim light was lit inside, and a figure in front of the table could be faintly seen.

It's really waiting for them!

Bai Shengwen narrowed his eyes and said loudly: "Boss Shen is frightened, I'm sorry!" ”

Boss Shen chuckled: "How can I be so easily frightened as a big man?" It's Wen Lan, I'm afraid I'm frightened, right? ”

As he spoke, the hidden door slowly opened, and Boss Shen stood at the door, still with a gentle smile on his face, and the eyes that looked at Xu Wenlan were completely benevolent to the elders.

Xu Wenlan didn't look at Boss Shen, but looked at the figure that was half-hidden by him.

Boss Shen was not alone in the room, there was still a person sitting at the table, drinking tea - it seemed that that person was the helper he had invited!

Pursing her lips, she stared at Boss Shen and slowly moved away, finally seeing the man sitting at the table clearly.

Middle-aged, Sven, like Boss Shen, this man looks Sven, and at first glance, he looks like a teacher - good! Hello readers! It's easier to fight......

Xu Wenlan muttered in her heart, turned her head to look, but saw Bai Shengwen's face shocked.

"Brother......

She only had time to shout, and Bai Shengwen suddenly stepped forward to salute, and actually called respectfully: "Sir." ”

Xu Wenlan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted in hindsight, the middle-aged man who was sitting in Boss Shen's room and waiting for them with him turned out to be Mr. Bai Shengwen, Mr. Zhang, who taught in Guo Buluo's private school, and Mr. Zhang, a Confucian who was said to have been a jinshi and a big official.

She felt right! What a teacher to teach......

As soon as she thought about it, Xu Wenlan only felt that her head was a little messy.

What is the situation? It's so sudden that they don't know how to react.

The first two children were stunned, and the first three who came to help clean up the bad guys didn't know whether to fight or not, so they could only be like the two of them, and the five pairs of eyes stared at Mr. Zhang.

Under the gaze of everyone, Mr. Zhang still finished drinking the tea, then put down the teacup in his hand, smiled slightly, and said lightly: "I'm frightened." ”

was frightened, from Bai Shengwen entering the door to Mr. Zhang's opening, these three words came out of the mouths of three different people, and when I tasted it carefully, I really counted Mr. Zhang's three words as the most true - indeed, they were frightened.

It's just a moment, Bai Shengwen has already figured out the cause and effect, and at this moment his face is still respectful, but his eyes are very complicated: "The reason why Mr. taught me is not for Chengyu's affection, but for Wen Lan." ”

Hearing Bai Shengwen ask, Xu Wenlan couldn't help but turn her head to look at him: Does this mean that Mr. Zhang, like Boss Shen, stayed in Heishui for her?

Also, since he has been a jinshi and an official, how can he be willing to nest in such a shabby place as Heishui as a small teacher? Even if Guo Buluo's family is a marquis, or if he is given Shu Xiuduo, Mr. Zhang should not be wronged like this.

Thinking so in her heart, Xu Wenlan couldn't help but speak: "Brother is talented, so Mr. Zhang can't bear to see the pearl dusty." ”

Originally, Mr. Zhang's expression was faint, and even his smile was faint, but when he heard Xu Wenlan say this, his smile became bright.

"Sure enough, it's the same as your grandfather, who gave birth to a clever mouth."

Although he had long thought that it might be related to his life experience, Xu Wenlan couldn't help but scold "dog blood" in his stomach at this moment.

was broken by someone, but he still had to pretend to be confused: "Mr. Zhang also knows my father?" Everyone says that my grandfather is honest, but he is really like you say, he is indeed very good at talking. ”

Mr. Zhang smiled and stood up: "Now that we have met, don't talk about those nonsense anymore - come in and sit!" I still like to talk to smart people, and those little clevers should not make trouble. ”

Biting her lip, Xu Wenlan looked at Bai Shengwen, puffed up a breath, and really walked inside.

Bai Shengwen was half a step slower and immediately followed.

The father and son of the Zhu family looked at each other, and the old man Zhu followed behind the two children with a smile, and sighed in his mouth: "I'm old, I'm tired and panicked after standing for a while, I still have to sit for a while!" ”

Asa looked at the old man, then at Uncle Zhu who stayed where he was, scratched his head, and then followed the house.

"Please take a seat," Boss Shen smiled and let the guests go, just like the hospitable host: "I didn't expect so many people to come, and the greetings were not good." ”

As he spoke, he went to get the cup and poured the tea diligently.

Xu Wenlan didn't plan to drink tea without raising his hand, what if it was poisonous?

She thought about it well, but she didn't expect that Old Man Zhu stretched out his hand and took a cup of tea, Xu Wenlan was unprepared, and when she saw the old man drink it, her face became strange.

As soon as her expression appeared, Boss Shen smiled: "Wen Lan, do you say that this tea is poisonous or not?" ”
