Mystery. Mistake. Love

Chapter 6

Soon, Ding Wenju stopped everyone's lively discussion and said,

"It's late today, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Tomorrow, more relatives and friends will come. I'm afraid we will be busy with socializing, and we don't have time to discuss it. You guys just take advantage of the few days when you have nothing to do and stay on the island. Let Zhaolan and Zhaohui take you around when you need it. Zhaozhong can also do what the landlord wants, understand? Xiao Zhao, you and Yutang spend more time with the old lady when you have time. It's rare for the two of you to come back, and we have to travel far away after the new year, so during this period of time, we should do our best to be filial, you know?"

Several people nodded, and Ding Wenju said to Ji Yingci and the others,

"You don't have to be restrained and polite. The brothers are all hospitable people. There is a horse farm and a hunting forest at home. Although it is not big, you can still have fun playing. It is really boring. Let Yutang take you to trap Go around Sky Island, I heard that there are some potholes in his place, which must be liked by you young people."

"Okay, Master Shi don't have to worry about us, we will have a long life, and we will take care of ourselves!"

After finishing speaking, Ding Wenju nodded in satisfaction, and let everyone disperse.

Zhan Zhao thought about what Bai Yutang was angry with just now, and wanted to talk to him at the door, but Bai Yutang didn't give him a chance at all, and just followed the Zhaolan brothers, talking and laughing, and walked to his guest room .After thinking about it, Zhan Zhao felt that he might be thinking too much, so he walked to his bedroom silently, but he didn't expect someone from behind to call him,

"Zhan Zhao, Zhan Zhao!"

Zhan Zhao looked back and saw that it was Ji Yingci, and asked with a smile,

"Brother Ji, what's the matter?"

"Hehe, it's nothing serious. It's not too late even if I look at it. I can't fall asleep with my eyes open when I go back. I just heard what you said. I feel like seeing each other late. I'll ask if it's convenient for you. Let's chat for a while!"

"Okay, if brother Ji is interested..."

"Don't call me Brother Ji, just call me Yingci! We are almost a few years old!"

Zhan Zhao also smiled and said,

"Well, it happens that my room is in front, let's go inside and talk!"

While talking, the two walked to Zhan Zhao's room. Once inside, Zhan Zhao lit the lamp, poured a cup of tea, asked Ji Yingci to sit down, and said,

"Grandma's old house is no more convenient than Beijing and Shanghai. Because it's old, it's not convenient to build wires. Until now, I still use old-fashioned kerosene lamps. Sorry for the inconvenience!"

"What are you talking about, why is it inconvenient! You are welcome, sit down quickly, I just listened to what you said, and I feel like meeting a bosom friend. When I was in Beijing, why didn't I hear brother Zhaolan mention you? Where do you study?"

Zhan Zhao also poured tea for himself, finally sat down, and said,

"I am my father's adopted son. Speaking of Zhan's family and Ding's family are related by marriage. My aunt took me into Ding's family because my parents died young. Later, the old lady loved me so much that my father adopted me as an adopted son. My little one At that time, I was not in good health. It was said that it was a heart problem. I had been ill all the time. Later, my father found a master and taught me some kung fu. Originally, he just wanted me to move around. I also learned some self-defense skills. Later, I went to Beijing to study and have been studying in Shuntian Academy. What about you?"

"In fact, I didn't stay in Beijing for a long time. I also followed my grandmother to Tianjin, so I went to study in Tianjin by the way, at Nankai Middle School!"

"Hehe, no wonder, we are all people who run around, and it is also fate that we can meet here."

"No, it's true that everyone in the world is brothers, it's just that it's not time to recognize each other!"

Hahaha, the two young men looked at each other and smiled.

"Cat, you..."

The door was suddenly opened, and Bai Yutang was about to come in with a box of things in his hand. When he opened the door, he saw Ji Yingci was also in the room, and he could feel that Zhan Zhao was chatting happily with him. Voice,

"I didn't know you were chatting, forget it."

Without even entering the door, people backed out.Zhan Zhao saw Bai Yutang's despondency, felt bad all of a sudden, got up and chased him,

"Bai Yutang, you come in..."

Unexpectedly, Bai Yutang walked very fast, and when Zhan Zhao chased him outside the door, Bai Yutang's back disappeared, making Zhan Zhao feel uneasy again.

"What's the matter, why did Bai Yutang leave again? Quickly ask him to chat with him!"

Zhan Zhao forced a smile,

"It's okay. Bai Yutang may be busy with other things. Brother Lu and the others will arrive tomorrow. He may have to go to bed early and pick up the boat tomorrow morning." Zhan Zhao said, as if to tell Ji Yingci Well, it seems to be comforting myself.

"Well, that's good, I can see that Brother Bai is a person who enjoys revenge!"

Zhan Zhao nodded in approval when he heard the words Ruyi Enchou,

"He's really! Yutang is a real-tempered person. Although he is a bit uninhibited, he is sincere to his friends and can use both sides. He doesn't like to put on airs, and he has a personality that would rather be broken than broken. .Sometimes, I'm really worried about his straightness that can't turn a corner!"

"Oh? Brother Bai is exactly the type of friend I like to make. Then you two grew up together, I think you know him pretty well!"

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao shook his head with a smile, and felt that there was no need to explain the matter between himself and Bai Yutang to others, so he said,

"We don't know each other! We are old friends now."

Zhan Zhao and Ji Yingci chatted for another half an hour. Seeing that his face was tired, Ji Yingci got up and said goodbye.

Zhan Zhao saw Ji Yingci off, and indeed he lay on the bed a little tired.He sat on a boat for several hours during the day, and sat in the study all night at night. Now the knife wound on his back was hurting. He wanted to get up and change the medicine, but found that he didn't even have the strength to lift his arm.Just as he was about to call Ah Fu for help, he remembered the hurt expression on Bai Yutang's face when he had just left, and felt uncomfortable again.Standing up with strength, walked to his desk, opened the drawer, took out a thin book, put it in his arms, pushed the door and went out.Soon, he walked to the door of Bai Yutang's room, and seeing that the light in the room was still on, he stepped forward, knocked on the door lightly, and whispered,

"Bai Yutang, are you asleep? It's me, Zhan Zhao."

After waiting for a while, there was no response, Zhan Zhao thought he didn't hear, so he knocked on the door again.

"Bai Yutang?"

Suddenly, the lights in the room went out, Zhan Zhao saw it and understood that Bai Yutang didn't want to see him.He was a little disappointed in his heart, but in desperation, he turned around and was about to leave, but the wound on his back suddenly hurt at this moment,

"Hmm, hiss!"

He grunted in pain, but the sound was not loud, but the lights in the room turned on at the same time, and the door opened immediately, and Bai Yutang, who was wearing underwear, appeared at the door, grabbed his hand, and said,

"Running around with injuries?! Staying up so late, what are you doing here?"

Although he complained on his mouth, the movements of his hands were very gentle, he gently helped him into the room, pressed him on his bed and sat down,

"Smelly cat, sit still, did your wound hurt just now? Let me see! Did you change your dressing at night?"

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt so much anymore!" Zhan Zhao's greatest skill is to make big things into small things, and small things into small things.

"It doesn't hurt. Why did you inhale just now? I heard it in the room! You took off your coat and let me see. I still have some medicine brought by my sister-in-law here. I asked you to change the medicine on time. forget!"

According to what he said, Zhan Zhao took off his coat, and then took off the inner lining, revealing the wrapped gauze, and some red blood oozes from the white on the back.

Bai Yutang felt pain in his heart when he saw it, he gently untied it without saying a word, the movements of his hands were extremely gentle.

"Bai Yutang, are you finally willing to say that you are angry?! Although I don't know why you are angry, but since it was caused by me, I will apologize to you. Don't be angry."

"You stinky cat still said! Your wound has already scabbed and healed, why is some blood oozing out again? Just this one is enough to make your fifth master mad! If you don't know how to cherish yourself, who are you waiting for?" Come to feel sorry for you!"

Seeing that he wasn't really angry with him, Zhan Zhao laughed too.

"I just wanted to ask Ah Fu to help change the medicine, but I remembered that I promised you during the day that I would show you the master's boxing book, but when Yingci came, I forgot about it, so I came to have a look Have you slept, if not..."

"When can't I read a boxing manual? If you make your injury worse because of this matter, then I would rather not read it for the rest of my life. I went there just now to help you change your medicine. When I saw Ji Yingci there, you chatted again." I'm so happy, I just..."

Bai Yutang didn't continue, feeling a little jealous in his words,

"Hey, forget it, anyway, you cat made a mistake, and I'm not so stingy, fifth master. Okay, you put on your clothes quickly, I'm still hot in the bed, I'll dispose of the gauze that I changed, you Wait for me."

Zhan Zhao nodded, got dressed, and covered Bai Yutang's quilt over his body, it was really warm.Soon, Bai Yutang came back, put the oil lamp on the bedside table, and got under the quilt as well.Zhan Zhao took out the boxing score, and the two leaned together to look through it.

While watching, Zhan Zhao explained the power of a certain move to Bai Yutang. Listening to him, Bai Yutang thoughtfully put his pillow behind Zhan Zhao's waist, pulled the quilt up, and said,

"Smelly cat, don't focus on talking, cover the quilt, and be careful of catching a cold. Well, I said that I watched you fight that day, and your fists and feet are not bad. I dare to have a famous teacher to guide me!"

Zhan Zhao also pulled the quilt over Bai Yutang's side, and said proudly,

"That is, my master is very powerful, but he doesn't like fame and fortune, so no one knows him, but I can see that the master must have some stories before, but he just doesn't want to tell us. Look, you have four brothers who taught you Kung fu, I only have one master, someday we will have a competition and see who wins!"

Zhan Zhao originally had a calm temperament like water, only here in Bai Yutang, he was a bit naughty like a child.

Sure enough, Bai Yutang curled his lips in surprise,

"Smelly cat, you are the best at acting. Everyone praises you for being gentle and gentle. In fact, you are not only a sharp-tongued cat, but also fierce and aggressive. Why didn't they see your true colors!"

Zhan Zhao smiled softly,

"That's because you are there to compare, and compared with Bai Wuye, I am naturally inferior!"

"That's right, fifth master, how can I be compared to a little cat like you, I..." Bai Yutang paused for a while, suddenly realized that he had been fooled, turned around and grabbed Zhan Zhao to beat him, and said,

"Smelly cat, you lie to me! Find me!"

Bai Yutang made a gesture to hit him, but he couldn't do anything, he hugged Zhan Zhao's shoulder from behind, and stopped there suddenly.Zhan Zhao felt that he was not moving, and said,

"Okay, stop making trouble, do you want to watch it?"

In just a few seconds, Bai Yutang quickly let go, then nodded and said,

"Look, look, you didn't provoke me first!"

Soon, the two of them head to head to study the moves again. After an hour, Zhan Zhao was really tired, his upper and lower eyelids began to fight, and he leaned against the pillow and fell asleep after watching.Seeing him, Bai Yutang took out the book in his hand, put the pillow away, asked Zhan Zhao to lie down on his side, and lay down himself, turned off the light, closed his eyes, and had a good night's dream.

Under the moonlight, the two people on the bed share the same mind, but they still have nothing to do with Fengyue.

Early the next morning, Zhan Zhao opened his eyes, blinked, and realized that the bed curtain above his head was not the style he was familiar with. He looked around in a daze, and found that the furnishings in the entire room were different from those in his own room. Immediately sat up, and after a long time, I remembered that I came to see Bai Yutang to read the boxing manual last night, but I didn't expect that I fell asleep, um, this is Bai Yutang's guest room.But what about Bai Yutang's people?

Just as he was thinking, he heard the sound of the door opening, and immediately after the curtain was raised, he saw the energetic Bai Yutang walking in. Seeing Zhan Zhao sitting on the bed, he immediately went forward, covered him with the quilt, and said,

"Smelly cat, why are you so dazed early in the morning?! If you're not sleepy, get up quickly and sit there with the quilt uncovered. If you look carefully, you'll get hot again, and you'll have to trouble Grandpa Bai to take care of me! When the time comes, You smelly cat has become a sick cat, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

Zhan Zhao chuckled, quickly lifted the quilt, looked for his clothes, and said,

"Okay, thank you, Fifth Master, for your suggestion! Put it down, I can wear it myself, and Zhan Zhao is not so ill yet!"

Bai Yutang ignored him, picked up his robe and waited for him to stretch his arms, then said,

"Don't be complacent, it's because I opened your wound again in that 'sleepy cat', and I felt sorry, so I was careful everywhere, otherwise my sister-in-law would nag me, and the old lady would still scold me, how could I no..."

"Don't you want to be that 'rat of the house'?! Hahahaha!"

Zhan Zhao laughed heartily, and Bai Yutang was about to explode with anger when he heard a knock on the door, and then someone asked,

"Master Bai, Master Bai?"

It was Ah Fu's voice, Zhan Zhao was taken aback, quickly tied up his clothes, went to open the door,

"Ah Fu? What's the matter? Why are you so flustered?"

"Hey, my good young master, I found you!"

Zhan Zhao thought something serious happened, so he hurriedly asked,

"What's the matter? What happened?"

Afu looked frustrated.

"What happened? I woke up early in the morning and went to the house to wake you up, but I saw that there was no one in the house, and the bed hadn't even been moved. I searched the front and back yards for several times, and I didn't even see a person. Come on, I'm so anxious! If something happens to you in the middle of the night, how can I explain to the old lady and the others! Young master, don't play tricks on me like this next time!"

Zhan Zhao looked embarrassed and was about to apologize when Bai Yutang asked,

"Ah Fu, how did you know to come to my house to find your young master?"

Ah Fu wiped the sweat off his face, Zhan Zhao hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it to him, Ah Fu took it and drank it before saying,

"Master Bai, our third young master is usually friendly with everyone, and the whole Mohua Village knows that he is a very gentle person, but ever since I met you, he was either hurt or angry, I thought... thought... "

"You think I kidnapped your young master, don't you?" Bai Yutang listened to his tone, as if he had been bullying Zhan Zhao, so he didn't get angry.

"No, no, Young Master Bai, don't say that, how dare I! In fact, I want to say that our third young master is calm like an old master on weekdays, and only when we see you can we be a little lively. "

Ah Fu's brain is not so good on weekdays, but this time he hit the nail on the head.

"I'm guessing, maybe the young masters of you had some serious business in the study yesterday and didn't finish talking. Did you chat with you for a while and then fell asleep here? No, I'll come over and knock on the door to ask. "

Ah Fu said, looked around, and asked puzzledly,

"However, Young Master Bai, I think you only have one bed here, not even an extra bedding. Young Master, you haven't slept all night, have you?" He finished speaking and looked at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao didn't care about anything at all, but when he reminded him at this moment, he remembered that he stayed here last night, but he didn't feel uncomfortable sleeping in such a narrow bed.He inadvertently looked at Bai Yutang, but saw that he raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips,

"Hmph, this Young Master Cat of your family slept quite well. It's just that I'm a guest, nah," Bai Yutang pointed to a recliner next to him that looked like a concubine's couch, and said,

"Because of the injury on your young master's back, Fifth Master, I have made do with it for half the night. I haven't covered myself with a quilt yet. I'm going to freeze to death!"

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao also noticed some dark shadows under Bai Yutang's eyes at this time, presumably because he didn't sleep well last night, and then looked at the soft couch, thinking that Bai Yutang was so tall that he couldn't even curl up on it with his long legs. Above, must have sat and squinted half the night.Zhan Zhao suddenly felt embarrassed and felt sorry for him, so he hurriedly said,

"Bai Yutang, I'm really sorry, you came to my house as a guest, and I made you not have a good rest, really..."

"Hey, that's enough, that's enough. Money can't buy my happiness, so don't make it difficult for yourself! Ah Fu, are they all up?"

After listening to the conversation just now, Ah Fu also knew that Bai Yutang was very kind to his third young master, and immediately felt that Bai Yutang's image had become taller, so he replied politely,

"That's right, except for Master Zhaozhong, the other young masters have already arrived in the front hall, and even the two young ladies have already passed by. Third young master, you should hurry back to the room to wash and change clothes! I will immediately ask others to serve Bai Master, change clothes."

Zhan Zhao nodded quickly, Ah Fu backed out after speaking, Zhan Zhao also turned to Bai Yutang and said,

"Bai Yutang, hurry up and let everyone wait for us. When you have nothing to do in the afternoon, let's make another appointment. I haven't been to the small forest behind the village for a long time. Let's go and have a look in the afternoon."

Bai Yutang was very happy and nodded his head hurriedly. Just as Zhan Zhao was about to leave, Bai Yutang stopped him again,

"Cat, I heard you call me Yutang yesterday, so you can call me that from now on. My name is always Bai Yutang, it sounds weird!"

Zhan Zhao didn't think much about it, and felt that what he said made sense, so he agreed.

"Okay! Then hurry up!"

After speaking, he rushed back to his house.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the front hall.There are three big tables in the hall, among which Mrs. Ding and her son and two daughter-in-laws have a table, the boys have a table, and the other female relatives have a table.

Sure enough, Mrs. Ding and Ding Wenju were waiting for them, and even Ding Zhaozhong arrived before them.

"Grandmother, father, mother, I'm sorry we are late, let everyone wait for us."

Zhan Zhao was very embarrassed to keep the whole family and guests waiting for him, so he hurriedly asked An to apologize, but Bai Yutang didn't think much of it, after asking An, he sat down beside Zhan Zhao carelessly.

Old Madam Ding smiled, and said in a tone of obvious affection,

"It's okay, you and Yutang just came home yesterday, so you must be very tired. I heard that your father didn't let you go back to bed until very late yesterday, so it's understandable that you got up late today."

Ding Zhaozhong immediately looked unhappy, and muttered in a low voice,

"It's true that people are more angry than people. I get up late every day, and I have to kneel in the ancestral hall. It's understandable when it's Zhan Zhao's turn."

Ding Zhaolan heard it and criticized him in a low voice,

"That's why you didn't get up until three poles late, how could grandma not punish you!"

Seeing that he was always targeting Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang was very unhappy in his heart, but he didn't want to get angry. He thought, make up a reason for him to go to the empty island, and then he must be punished. Scream for that heartless stinking cat.Zhan Zhao didn't have the intention of vengeance as he did, so he just pretended not to hear.On the other side, Ding Yuehua, who was sitting at the other table with the female relatives, saw Bai Yutang finally come out, his eyes were shining brightly, and even Ding Yueying who was sitting beside her saw the unparalleled handsome Bai Yutang come out, and there was a bit of a smile on his face. The shyness of a girl.

Old Madam Ding raised her hand, and a servant next to her brought up breakfast and placed it in front of everyone. Seeing Old Madam Ding move the first chopsticks, everyone picked up the chopsticks and began to eat breakfast.

Zhan Zhao had a back injury and his arms were weak, so he just picked up a few side dishes in front of him and ate them. Seeing that he ate less, Bai Yutang immediately understood his inconvenience, so he immediately served him some dishes. Whispered in his ear,

"Smelly cat, tell me which one you want to eat, and I'll give it to you. Look at you, you are so skinny, you don't want to eat more!"

Zhan Zhao looked at him gratefully and nodded. Yan Chasan sat beside Zhan Zhao, taking in the tenderness in Bai Yutang's eyes, looked at Zhan Zhao enviously, and said,

"Yutang, you are quite good at taking care of people."

Before Bai Yutang could answer, Ding Zhaohui immediately continued,

"Hey, Xiaoyan, you've missed your mark this time. Ask the people in Mohua Village and Zakong Island if you know that Bai Wuye is a person who is not afraid of anything, and acts according to his own temperament. He still takes care of others, if he doesn't cause trouble for others, we have to burn incense! Isn't it, brother?"
