Since ancient times, Chang'an West Wind and Rain Chapter 28 Chang'an Rain
Seven days passed quickly, and in the past seven days, after Xu Changfeng took morning classes and sword trial classes every day, most of them went to the library to learn the sword scriptures, or asked Uncle Su for guidance on swordsmanship, and his life was quite fulfilling.
His cultivation has gradually moved from the early stage of the Pulp Cleansing Realm to the late stage of the Purifying Realm.
The path of cultivation is divided into many realms. Within each realm, it is divided into three small levels, namely: the early stage, the late stage, and the peak.
Low-level cultivators can ignore these three small levels, but for high-level cultivators, there is a world of difference between each step. There is also an incomparably huge gap between each small level, and if you cross it, your strength will skyrocket.
In the evening of this day, a large thick cloud floated over Chang'an City, the sky turned dark in a blink of an eye, the thick cloud couldn't stop pressing down, and the cold wind blew up at some point.
Within half an hour, the rainstorm came.
Xu Changfeng stood under the eaves of the courtyard, looking up at the rain curtain in the sky, which was a violent storm, and the wind blew violently on the treetops, making a rustling sound.
He was very uneasy, it was raining so hard, and he didn't know if the old woman's house in Dongxiang would leak, although he had only added some bricks to her roof last time......
The second thing that unsettles him is tomorrow.
The seven-day period of which the man spoke is tomorrow. Whether Yao Xi will really go out of the city to connect with the next family as he said, and whether tomorrow's trip will go smoothly is an unknown number for Xu Changfeng.
He quickly turned off the lights and went to bed to recuperate.
At this time, on a lonely pavilion, a man with a pot of wine in his hand sat alone on the fence of the pavilion, his back against a beam, his eyes full of indescribable sorrow.
He lifted the flask and drank it directly from the spout, and the rain fell diagonally with the wind, and half of his body was wet, his eyes were red, and his face was full of water droplets.
He subconsciously touched the scabbard behind him, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't speak.
"Master, it's raining again in Chang'an......" The man slowed down for a while, then opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, looking at the rain falling from the sky, and he didn't know who he was talking to.
In the cold wind, there seemed to be a faint familiar children's voice, which kept echoing in his ears, "I will also become a hero like Wei Qijian in the future and become famous all over the world!"
I don't know how long later, the man suddenly opened the lid of the pot, as if drinking cold water, and drank the liquor in a big gulp, and the skin above his neck was as red as fire. Tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes, mixed with the wine, and flowed into his mouth......
"Famous all over the world?" the man slammed the flask to the ground, with a thick smell of wine, and muttered to himself to the empty pavilion, "I ...... Do you still deserve to say that?"
After he finished speaking, his body staggered off the fence and collapsed in the gazebo.
The wind was still howling, and the cold rain washed the night clean, like a layer of fresh ink. The gazebo was silent once more, and the occasional rain spilled spilled, wetting his clothes and the scabbard he was carrying......
The rain in Chang'an came quickly and fiercely......
Xu Changfeng lay on the bed and listened to the sound of rain all night. His heart was like this chaotic raindrop, and he couldn't calm down at all. The sound of the rain only made him more awake......
In the early morning of the next day, the rain was still falling, and the city of Chang'an was covered with a layer of mist, and the smoke and rain were charming and drunk.
Chang'an East Lane was much more deserted than usual, and the young man came to the door of Menghualou with an oil umbrella in his hand.
As always, because of the rain, Menghualou's business was much colder, and a carriage did not stop at the door.
"Looks like it's a little early today. Xu Changfeng muttered to himself in a low voice, and immediately put away the oil umbrella and walked in.
He was worried that he would miss Yao Xi's whereabouts if he was late, so he got up early in the morning and rushed to Menghualou to wait. It was raining at this time, and they couldn't wait outside with an umbrella, it would be too conspicuous.
Although the business is cold, Kemenghualou is also a famous place in Chang'an City, and the good seats inside are still full of people. On the stage, two slender women are dancing, beautiful and delicious.
"Childe, which girl do you want today?" As soon as Xu Changfeng walked in the door with his front foot, a welcoming girl immediately walked up, holding her throat and making a delicate sound.
"I ......" Although Xu Changfeng is not the first time to come to this place, he is still a little unaccustomed to walking in now.
"Hey, Master Xu. At this moment, Ruyue happened to see Xu Changfeng, walked over quickly, and said with a smile, "It's raining so hard, it must be to come to see Mingming, right?"
Without waiting for Xu Changfeng to reply, Ruyue immediately instructed the welcoming girl and said, "This is Sister Mingming's honored guest, you have to entertain him well, I will go and invite Sister Mingming over." ”
"Got it, Sister Ruyue. ”
The woman didn't dare to say more, and led Xu Changfeng to a position with a better view in the Menghua Building. Here, you can just see the door of Menghualou, who enters and who leaves, you can know at a glance.
Not long after the woman left, she obviously held a pot of wine, a wine glass, and a few dishes in the tray in her hand, walked with fine lotus steps, and came to Xu Changfeng's side with a graceful body, and sat down gently: "Xu Gongzi, thank you for coming to see me......"
Her face was still veiled, and it was evident that she did not serve guests very often, and her movements and tone were a little shy.
Xu Changfeng hurriedly replied: "That...... You're welcome. ”
Originally, he just wanted to send the girl away with a little silver, and waited quietly for Yao Xi to appear.
Who would have thought, as soon as he entered the door, he was seen by Ruyue and called Ming Ming over. At this moment, he was suddenly stunned, and thought about how to get out for a while.
Ming Ming took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the rain that Xu Changfeng was blowing on his face. Xu Changfeng was not used to this feeling of being served, so he hurriedly took the handkerchief and wiped it himself.
"Childe, how are you ...... Don't you like Mingming?" Seeing this, Mingming couldn't help but feel a little lost.
"Nope. Xu Changfeng hurriedly shook his head, "I'm just thinking, why do you know my surname is Xu." ”
"This ......," Ming Ming smiled awkwardly, "It was said by the second son." ”
Ming Ming then picked up the wine jug and poured him a glass of wine, he just wanted to say that he didn't drink, Ming Ming immediately whispered, "Don't worry, I know you don't know how to drink, it's tea." ”
Xu Changfeng took the cup and took a sip carefully, making sure that it was really tea, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come, Childe, eat some side dishes. Obviously speaking, he took the dishes on the plate with chopsticks and handed them to Xu Changfeng's mouth. She was very happy in her heart, since the last time she met Xu Changfeng, she could see him in her dreams at night.
Obviously thought that Xu Changfeng would not come here to see her again, who would have thought that he would finally come today, or brave the heavy rain......
"Obviously, don't you have to play today?" Xu Changfeng asked in a low voice as he chewed the dish in his mouth.
"Childe, do you want to listen to Mingming play a tune?"
Xu Changfeng immediately nodded.
Mingming was overjoyed, and said with a smile, "You wait, I'll go and get the piano." ”
After speaking, he quickly got up and left.
"Hoo ......"
Xu Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he had a flash of inspiration, otherwise he really didn't know how to send Ming Ming away.
Obviously, not long after leaving, suddenly a middle-aged man sitting at the next table stood up, his complexion was not very good, and he walked towards him with a wine glass in his hand, "Little brother, I have no wine in the pot, I want you to take a sip." ”
After he finished speaking, he directly picked up the wine jug on the table and poured himself a full glass. Looking at the slightly yellowish color on it, I was a little surprised, but I didn't care so much, I drank it all in one gulp.
When the tea entered his throat, the man's face was filled with anger, and he actually threw the jug containing the tea on the ground, and scolded: "You Menghualou are so bold, you dare to use tea to fool people!"
The man's voice was very loud, which alarmed all the boys and buddies present.
Soon, a woman in her fifties, dressed in a crimson robe, walked briskly, presumably the old bustard here.
She picked up the wine jug on the ground, sniffed it gently, and immediately frowned and said, "Who made this tea? Why don't you go and change a pot of wine for the guest?" ”
"Yes. The girl behind her took the flask and walked away quickly.
At this time, he had just moved the xylophone out, and when he happened to see this scene, he knew that he was in trouble, and he subconsciously hid behind the pillar.
"This guest, I'm sorry, this is indeed our girl's dereliction of duty, we will give you two a pot of compensation for free. The old bustard said respectfully to the middle-aged man and Xu Changfeng.
"Hmph. The man said coldly, "Who made this tea?" ”
Obviously, he deliberately changed the wine to tea for him, Xu Changfeng couldn't let Ming Ming take the blame for himself. He stepped forward, looked at the man and said, "You are too angry, drink some tea just to go to the fire, what's wrong?"
When the middle-aged man heard this, he was furious, pointed at Xu Changfeng's nose and shouted, "Do you know who I am?
"Who?" Xu Changfeng asked after taking a deep breath.
"Zhaoyuemen, Zhou Qixuan!"
