Chapter 20: Listening to the Rain

After listening to Zhang Feng's words, the bald uncle said apologetically: "Last year, I met several clever doctors in the outside world, and they were helpless after hearing about your symptoms. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhang Feng waved his hand, "Uncle Bald, don't say that, if you can help me inquire, I will be grateful." In the past few years, you have always taken care of me, and I have always kept this kindness in my heart and dare not forget it. ”

His words were sincere, and the bald uncle was slightly moved, and he was stunned: "Boy, what's wrong with you today, why are you talking such polite words to your bald uncle." To tell you the truth, when I first saw you a few years ago, I saw that you had a great fate. Don't thank you for anything now, just remember your bald uncle occasionally when you become a character in the future. ”

After a pause, the bald uncle asked, "You said that you have something to ask me, what is the matter?"

Zhang Feng said hesitantly: "I want to try my luck in the outside world to see if I can meet a miracle doctor who can cure my disease." There are many masters in the world, and I can always get a chance when I travel all over the world. If I can't find it in a year, I'll look for it for two years, and if I can't find it in two years, I'll look for it for three years, even if I die outside, I will admit it, otherwise I can't even get a wife like I am now, so what's the point?"

The bald uncle was stunned and said, "Boy, you are only a few years old, and you want to please your wife." Even according to the rules of your Cliff City, you will not be able to marry until you are sixteen years old, and if you go to the outside world, you will not be able to have a family until you are at least twenty years old. You can't be in a hurry about this kind of thing, you have to follow the rules. ”

Zhang Feng was silent, the bald uncle groaned slightly, and then said: "But then again, you should find someone to treat your disease." You don't have to worry so much about the outside world, your bald uncle has already begun to walk the world when he is so old, and he has encountered some wind and waves, but he has come over without danger. In this case, you will follow me this year, and then visit the famous doctor yourself after you have seen some of the world. You have to settle this matter quickly, the caravan will depart in a few days, and you must prepare early. ”

Zhang Feng thought for a while and said firmly: "It's so decided, I'll go with you in a few days." ”

He solemnly bowed to the bald uncle, said goodbye, dressed in starlight, hummed a little song, and staggered home. Halfway through, the sky was suddenly obscured by black clouds, and the torrential rain was rushing in, and he was unsuspectingly drenched in soup, shivering with cold, and his drunkenness suddenly disappeared by seven or eight points, and he ran wildly in the dark night where he couldn't see his fingers.

When he returned home, Zhang Mazi had not rested, he was lighting an oil lamp and weaving bamboo baskets in the hall, and when he saw him push the door in, he quickly got up to greet him, "I thought you were going to sleep in their house in Liancheng tonight, why did you run back at this time? On a rainy day, you are drenched like this, not afraid of freezing and getting sick? Ah, have you drunk?"

Zhang Feng was impatient to listen to his father's chatter, and went straight to the room to change his jacket, before returning to the hall and telling the decision he had just made today: "Dad, I will go out with my bald uncle in a few days, I can't keep this disease dragged on, I have to find someone to treat it." ”

Zhang Mazi was stunned when he heard this, he didn't say anything for a long time, and then sighed and said: "I always thought that your father would come to pick you up, he is very powerful, even if he can't help you heal, it's always okay to find a miracle doctor for you." But it's really not a way to wait like this, if the business manager is willing to take care of you, you can go outside to take a look, and by the way, look for your father. ”

Zhang Mazi rarely mentioned Zhang Feng's father in the past, before Zhang Feng was ten years old, Zhang Mazi always said that he picked him up in the mountains, and only in the past few years did he change his words and say that someone secretly put him on the city tower.

As for what kind of character it is, Zhang Mazi never said it, Zhang Feng thought that his father had never seen his father.

After listening to Zhang Mazi's words at this time, Zhang Feng felt very strange and confused: "Dad, how do you know that my father is superb?"

Zhang Mazi slowly walked around the hall, as if he was looking for something, but maybe he didn't look for anything at all, just to avoid Zhang Feng's question.

Later, he said softly: "I'm tired and want to go to sleep." You should rest early, and I will tell you about your father tomorrow. Then he limped back to his room.

The next day, the heavy rain did not stop, and Zhang Mazi told Zhang Feng to stay at home in the morning, saying that he had something to talk about. But until noon, nothing was said. He was busy all morning, fiddling with more than a dozen side dishes, like a festival, Zhang Feng asked him what he was particular about, and he simply said: "You are about to leave home, of course we have to have a good meal together." ”

Zhang Mazi asked Zhang Feng to bring all the dishes to an old table on the city tower and set them up, Zhang Feng smiled and said: "Dad, how can you know how to be elegant, you have to learn from the big guy in the book to eat the rain banquet." ”

Zhang Mazi said: "What is elegant or not, just do as I say." Wait for me in the castle tower first, and I will go up after I have taken something. ”

Zhang Feng didn't ask any more, according to his father's instructions, he brought all the dishes to the city tower, and also carried a jar of wine up, and then sat with his back against a stone railing, watching the wind and rain outside the building.

Zhang Mazi held a broken umbrella, laboriously pried open several bricks of the city wall with a firewood knife, and took out an oiled paper bag. He peeled off the oiled paper, glanced at the wooden box inside, then rewrapped it, and limped up the stairs with the object in his arm.

When Zhang Feng saw his father coming up, he hurriedly leaned over to help him sit down, and was about to take the thing his father carried.

Zhang Mazi slapped Zhang Feng's hand away and said, "Don't panic, I'll give it to you later." Zhang Feng smiled: "Dad, your mysterious and mysterious place today makes me feel awkward." ”

Zhang Mazi had a wooden face, no expression, and said dryly: "Let's eat." Then he opened the jar with his own hands, poured two cups of wine, and drank one of them.

Zhang Feng saw that his father had something on his mind, and comforted: "Dad, I know that you are reluctant to let me go, in fact, I am reluctant to leave Cliff City, but I have really had enough of this disease in my body, and I can't help but give it a chance outside." You can rest assured that I will be back as soon as I am cured. ”

Zhang Mazi didn't speak, just buried his head in eating and drinking, Zhang Feng saw him like this, he felt very uncomfortable, and said: "Dad, don't be like this, can't I stay in Cliff City?"

Zhang Mazi still didn't say anything, until his neck was burned red by the wine, then he put down his chopsticks and said leisurely: "Baby, when your father handed you over to me, I thought he would come back and take you away soon, but I didn't expect that thirteen years have passed, and he has never appeared again." ”

Zhang Feng asked, "Why did my father hand me over to you?

Zhang Mazi burped, drank another one, and then looked at the wind and rain outside the building for a while, and after a while, suddenly muttered: "I remember that it also rained like this that day." ”

After that, he looked at Zhang Feng intently, and then talked about the old thing he hadn't forgotten all these years.
