Chapter 83 It's Snowing
You must wait until I come back.
After several days of rain, it finally cleared up completely today.
The villagers in the town were in a good mood. The adults took advantage of the sunny weather to take out the clothes and quilts that were about to become moldy, and the children continued to play together. Han Zhang's thatched cottage was naturally the object of their patronage.
"You said, it's raining so hard, wouldn't that Sangmenxing's house be gone?"
"Probably not. The snow was so heavy last winter. I think his house is still in good condition?"
Fatty sneered, "What's the point of guessing here? Go and have a look and you'll know."
The children were used to listening to what he said, and they all followed suit without thinking about anything else.
From a distance, I saw that dilapidated thatched cottage still standing there, as if it hadn't been affected in the slightest.
A thin boy with two braids upside down asked strangely: "Our earthen house has a wall down, why is his thatched house all right?"
Fatty took a look, Han Zhang didn't seem to be at home, so he made a plan and urged the boy to say, "Skinny Monkey, let's go and tear down his thatched hut, how about it? Otherwise, there will be only your family in the town because of this If the rain falls on the wall, people will definitely laugh at it."
Thin Monkey's family was poor and he was often bullied. It wasn't until Han Zhang appeared that they had someone more worthy of bullying, and his situation improved a little. Hearing this, he naturally didn't want to be ridiculed again , immediately nodded fiercely in agreement, "Help me look out for someone, I have to let him have no place to live this time!"
Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Fatty showed a sinister smile.
But the thin monkey thought he was timid, and just said that sentence impulsively, but when he walked into the small courtyard, he still flinched. He didn't pay attention, tripped over a wooden stool under his feet, and fell instantly He was on all fours, panicked all of a sudden, thought it was Han Zhang who had come back, and immediately begged for mercy, "I didn't intend to do anything bad! I just came in to see!"
The group of children not far away suddenly laughed together.
Big Fatty was very annoyed when he saw that he failed to accomplish anything and failed, and knew that he could not rely on him for this matter, so he immediately walked to the middle of the yard and picked up the thin monkey with one hand, "It's just a bench, look. It scares you, you are less courageous than a mouse."
The thin monkey slowly opened his eyes, seeing that it was indeed just a bench, he was relieved.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood firm, a familiar voice came from behind, "What are you doing?"
Fatty didn't expect Han Zhang to come back so soon, and the person he let the watchman had gone for a long time.
Fatty cursed, then straightened his chest, and said unceremoniously: "What are we doing, don't care about your business."
Han Zhang rolled his eyes speechlessly, "This is my house, get out of here quickly, otherwise, I'm going to make a move!"
He is in a bad mood now!very bad!
Since Xu Suining went back that night, he never came back.
In the first two days, Han Zhang didn't care about it. He just thought it was raining too much and the road was difficult to walk.
But the rain gradually subsided in the next few days, but he never appeared on the small road at the gate of the courtyard.
He also wanted to go to Xu's house to look for him, but whenever he walked to the door of Xu's house and saw the magnificent and luxurious mansion, he felt timid and dared not go forward.
Gradually, he began to wonder if he had said something wrong or done something wrong.
Is it because you eat too much?Or let him bring himself a script to make him unhappy?Or before I left, I said "If you can't make up, don't come."
Because of this matter, he has not rested for several days, thinking over and over every day, why he didn't come to find himself.
The mood that has been depressed for many days now urgently needs an outlet, and the two people who came to find trouble in front of them are obviously the best choice.
Big Fatty was still chattering there, and the words in his mouth became more and more dirty.
Han Zhang clenched his fist and smashed it with all his strength.
His body, which was half the size of Han Zhang, was punched flying, and he lay on the ground, howling in pain.
The thin monkey on the side was stunned by the scene in front of him, and his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
Han Zhang only looked at him contemptuously, and walked up to Fatty, "I gave you a chance."
Fatty obviously didn't expect Han Zhang to strike so ruthlessly, but he still refused to accept it, and his mouth was as hard as iron, "I tell you, don't be complacent, you loser star, you can beat your father to death!" Damn, even the young master of the Xu family has been knocked out of bed by you now, sooner or later, you will beat yourself to death!"
"What did you say?" Han Zhang seemed unable to believe what he had just heard.
Fatty sneered, spit out a mouthful of blood foam, and wiped the blood stains from the corner of his mouth vigorously, "So you don't know, that young master of the Xu family is really pitiful. He thought he was going to recover soon, but he just met you. I don't know if there is such good luck to get through the difficulties this time, no, this is also his own fault, who made him stay with you every day."
The thin monkey kept winking and waving at him desperately, telling him to stop talking.
But what neither of them expected was that Han Zhang didn't get angry when he heard this, but turned around and left immediately.
"what happened to him?"
"Who cares what happened to him, why don't you come over and help me up! You coward!"
Han Zhang ran to the east of the city like crazy. He bumped into many things on the road, but he didn't seem to know the pain. He didn't stop until the two majestic stone lions appeared in front of him. He bent down and put his hands on the ground. on his knees, gasping for breath.
He has been here so many times, but he has never had the guts to knock on the door.
This time, he must not be timid again.
Han Zhang took a few deep breaths, walked up the steps, and knocked on the door.
Not long after, the door was opened, and a young servant walked out. He saw that the person standing in front of the door was not wearing very good materials, but he was good-looking, so he didn't drive him away immediately. Instead, he patiently asked: "Little brother, what do you do?"
"I... I'm looking for your Young Master Xu."
"You?" Xiaosihu asked, "Do you know our young master?"
"Yes." Han Zhang nodded.
But the servant didn't take it seriously, "Many people in Tianshui Town know our young master, I can't let you in casually, besides, the young master is ill, the master has ordered, no one is allowed to come near, little Brother, you should go back quickly." The servant saw that he was thin and pitiful, so he took out two coins from his pocket and handed it over, "Here, if you are hungry, go and buy two biscuits to pad your stomach."
He is not a rich man, and the only thing he can do is these two pennies.
Han Zhang looked at the two copper plates and took them after hesitation.
Turning to leave, there was a conversation behind him.
"Who is that?"
"It should be a little beggar, and I gave him two pennies."
"I think you just have too much money and no place to spend it."
In the past, Han Zhang would never have asked for that money, but now, he really needs these two small copper coins.
dong dong dong-
The boy pushed open the door and saw the familiar face. This time he finally became a little impatient, "Why are you here again? Let me tell you, you can't be too greedy, if you think the two copper coins are not enough, I don't have anything extra for you, and I'm not being taken advantage of."
Han Zhang put his hands on his chest, pursed his lips, and said in a low voice, "That's not what I mean, I just want to see Young Master Xu, and I will return the two copper coins to you later."
The boy didn't take his words to heart at all. He just felt that he was being entangled by a stinky beggar. He felt agitated at the moment, and pushed the person with great force, directly pushing the unsuspecting Han Zhang down, and fell to the ground. The steps fell hard to the ground.
The boy was stunned, he didn't expect this to happen.
But after hesitating for a while, he decided not to bother, turned around, and closed the door tightly.
Han Zhang got up from the ground, and from the beginning to the end, he didn't groan.
He stood on the stone slab, looked up at the unreachable high wall, and couldn't help but think of the scriptures he read a few days ago.
If he also has that ability to fly into the sky, will all the walls in this world be unable to stop him, and he can see whoever he wants to see.
"What are you doing standing here?"
Han Zhang withdrew his thoughts, turned his head to look at the unfriendly woman beside him, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
Ginkgo had actually been standing there a long time ago. Naturally, she didn't want Han Zhang to come to find Xu Suining. Originally, her young master was about to recover, but unexpectedly, after staying with this boy for a few days, he fell ill again. Everyone in the town called him It's not for nothing that he lost his star.
But, thinking of her young master's attitude towards the young man in front of her, she sighed deeply, "Come with me."
Han Zhang looked up at her blankly.
Ginkgo said unhappily: "Do you still want to see my young master?"
"Yes." This time he nodded without hesitation.
"Follow if you want."
Ginkgo didn't take him in through the main entrance, but walked through the small door next to it.
Although Han Zhang didn't say anything, she still explained, "The young master is sick again, the master is very worried, and ordered you not to come to the young master, so we can't enter through the main entrance, understand?"
Han Zhang nodded.
The young man was already good-looking, and usually made people dare not get close to him with his fierce appearance of avoiding strangers, but now such a well-behaved appearance made people feel pity for him.
The Xu Mansion is very large, larger than all the places Han Zhang has been to.
After walking through many corridors, Ginkgo stopped outside an elegant and unique courtyard.
Before he got close, he could smell a medicinal smell, which was exactly the same as the smell on Xu Suining's body.
"I'll go in first to see if the young master is awake. You just wait here and don't go anywhere."
"Ah."
Ginkgo walked a few steps, then sneaked back worryingly, seeing that Han Zhang really stood there motionless, she felt relieved.
It's not that I'm afraid of other things, but after all, I'm a child from a poor family, so it would be bad if I got some bad habits of unclean hands and feet.
Ginkgo handed the medicines she grabbed from the pharmacy to the other maids, and asked them to make the medicine according to the prescription prescribed by the doctor, while she pushed open the door and walked in.
The inside of the house was no longer pitch black, the windows were wide open, the sunlight came in, and even the two potted flowers in the room grew better.
"Cough cough." The young man sitting by the window was dressed in white, his face was a little pale, but he was not too sick. He held the scroll with his light white fingers, and occasionally coughed lightly.
"Master."
"What's wrong?" Xu Suining slightly raised his eyelids with a sleepy expression.
Ginkgo pointed to the door, "The servant saw the kid outside the door, he said he wanted to find you, so the servant brought him in."
"That kid?" It took Xu Suining a while to realize who this was referring to. He put down the book in his hand, but the moment he got up, his eyes went dark because he was too anxious, and he bumped into the table next to him, but Ginkgo was terrified. , hurried up to help.
"Young master, slow down, people can't run away there, you'd better stay in the room, you just got out of bed, don't be blown by the wind and get cold, this servant will call you over."
Xu Suining sat on the chair and took a while to recover completely.
As the sound of two footsteps approached, one light and one heavy, Xu Suining suppressed the itch in his throat.
The boy who hadn't seen him for a few days seemed to be getting thinner again, Xu Suining couldn't help frowning.
When Han Zhang saw his expression, he couldn't help but thump, for fear that he might be upset if he did something wrong.
"I……"
Han Zhang had just started when he was interrupted by Ginkgo, "Young master, this servant is going to see how their medicine is doing."
"Well, let's go."
After Ginkgo left, Xu Suining waved to him.
Han Zhang walked over anxiously.
Xu Suining wanted to ask him what he had done in the past two days, but he suddenly caught a glimpse of a broken piece on the boy's arm, "What's going on here? Did you fight with someone?"
Han Zhang only noticed the wound on his arm after he reminded him. It should have just been broken at the door, but he didn't want to tell Xu Suining, it was embarrassing.
He then changed his rhetoric, "Big Fatty and Thin Monkey came to trouble me this morning, and I taught them a lesson, but don't worry, they are totally powerless to fight back."
"How can you still be injured like this without fighting back?" Xu Suining sighed, rolled his sleeves up to his elbows, took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the wound for him, but fortunately, it was just a slight scratch, not too serious .
Perhaps Xu Suining's expression was too serious, Han Zhang didn't dare to say a word from the beginning to the end, and let the other party play around.
After bandaging the wound, Xu Suining couldn't help laughing when he saw his appearance, "What? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
"No..." Han Zhang retorted softly, "Are you sick? Is it serious?"
"It's okay, I just caught a cold."
"Master, what are you talking about?" Gingko walked in suddenly, and when she heard Xu Suining's "it's okay", she couldn't help but feel distressed and said, "You said you are so good, why did you go to the mountain to pick those mosquito-repelling herbs? Many sachets, you can just take one, it’s ready now, it’s raining, it’s cold, it’s finally getting better, and I’m lying on the bed again.”
Ginkgo also read a lot of books with the young master of the Xu family. Naturally, she would not be superstitious like those villagers, thinking that her young master was made sick by Han Zhang.
Xu Suining had been paying attention to Han Zhang's expression. Seeing him lower his head, he sighed, "Speak up."
Ginkgo curled her lips, put down the candy in her hand and turned to leave.
After a long time, Han Zhang asked softly, "Did you pick those herbs for me?"
Xu Suining took out an extremely rough sachet and handed it over, "The anti-mosquito products in medicine shops are not as effective as mine. Wear this on your body to ensure that no mosquito will bite you."
This time, Han Zhang did not refuse.
He took the sachet and carefully put it in his arms, but the next second, his movements suddenly stopped.
Xu Suining was a little surprised, "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing." Han Zhang put the sachet elsewhere again.
But Xu Suining noticed that his chest bulged slightly, as if something had been placed on it.
He took it out easily, so fast that Han Zhang couldn't react at all.
"Lotus Cake? Did you buy it for me?"
"Hmm." Han Zhang avoided his gaze and replied softly.
It's just that the lotus cake was accidentally broken when he was at the door, and he just found out when he took it out to look at it while waiting in front of the courtyard.
And on the table, there are exquisite pastry preserves brought by Ginkgo biloba.
Han Zhang reached out to snatch the lotus cake back, but Xu Suining dodged it.
Xu Suining ate the broken pastry in two or three strokes, his eyebrows curved, "Thank you."
"No, you're welcome."
More than half a year has passed.
Han Zhang stayed with Xu Suining almost every day.
They would go fishing by the stream together, look at the red maples blooming all over the mountains together, and hide under the trees together and read the newly published novels.
Gradually, the villagers in Tianshui Town are not surprised by this.
On this day, Xu Suining lay on a chair and exhaled a white mist.
Suddenly there was a touch of coolness on the tip of his nose.
When he opened his eyes, he saw snowflakes falling from the sky.
"Snowing."
There was a sound of footsteps.
Han Zhang went to the market to sell eggs, and he still had a warm roasted sweet potato in his arms. As soon as he got home, he couldn't wait to bring it to Xu Suining, "Look, do you want to eat it?"
Xu Suining raised the corners of his lips, "I want to eat."
Han Zhang immediately broke the sweet potato in half, but subconsciously handed the bigger half to Xu Suining.
Xu Suining didn't answer, and went to the younger half instead, "I have a bad appetite, and sweet potatoes are not easy to digest, so I can only take advantage of you."
Han Zhang grinned and began to eat.
"Han Zhang, it's snowing."
"what?"
"nothing……"
After the first snowfall, Xu Suining's physical condition took a sharp turn for the worse.
Master Xu invited countless famous doctors to no avail.
In just a few days, Xu Suining, who was lying on the bed, was haggard and even had difficulty speaking.
Everyone said that he would not survive this winter.
Since Xu Suining fell ill, Han Zhang never visited him.
Occasionally, when encountering big fat and thin monkeys, he would point to his nose and scold "white-eyed wolf", but he pretended not to hear these, and continued to fish, sell fish and go home every day.
Until the eve of the Chinese New Year, the streets are full of red lanterns, which is very lively.
Han Zhang came outside Xu's mansion and met Ginkgo who was out to buy medicine.
Ginkgo was also quite surprised to see him, but when she thought that the young master had been ill for so long and the young man had never visited him once, she lost her good face.
Han Zhang stopped him with a steady voice, "Tell Master Xu for me that I'm going to find Qing Yangzong, and tell him to wait for me when I come back."
There was a look of surprise on Ginkgo's face, but then she laughed at herself, how could he find that legendary place casually, even if he found it, with the young master's body now, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until that day.
Han Zhang looked up at a branch of red plum protruding from the other end of the high wall, turned around and left resolutely.

It feels like the finale is coming soon
