Ping An Biography

Chapter 143 Xiaolou listens to the spring rain all night

Zhang Ning returned to Changde City and went straight to Fuqian Street.The so-called Fuqian Street is the street in front of the gate of the Fuya. The name of this kind of street is very common in various cities. For example, the neighbors in front of the county government are usually called Xianqian Street.

The official residence of Changde Mansion is on the side of the government office. Wu Yong lived in the residence, and there were two people watching him. They didn't restrict Wu Yong's movements, but they followed him back and forth to monitor his every move.Now Zhang Ning couldn't find Zhan Zhuli, so he could only focus on Wu Yong.

He observed the location of the hotel, and found that there was an inn across the street, and there were windows on the upper floor with a good view, so he sent Xu Wenjun over to inquire that there was no guest in that room, and immediately went into the inn to pay for a room facing the street.

The three of them came upstairs, and the waiter with a white scarf on his shoulders came up to talk, and asked kindly, "There are few guests these days, and there are still vacant rooms next door. Do you want to rent two rooms?" Zhang Ning thought for a while. He was doing it for business, and it took him a while to realize that it was really not suitable for him to live in the same room with two women. Even if the two women were his wives and concubines, it was rare for wives and concubines to share the same room.In order to make himself look more normal and reasonable, Zhang Ning made up the money and booked the room next door.

Xiao Er also kindly reminded: "There is a kettle in the room, you can ask someone to turn on the water to make tea. After Youshi, the kitchen will boil hot water for washing your face and feet. If you have something to say, go to the stairs to talk."

"Okay, we got it." Zhang Ning greeted him kindly.

After entering the room, Peach Blossom Fairy said angrily, "This kid is quite talkative."

So Zhang Ning asked Wenjun to guard the door, so as not to let someone suddenly come in and hear the conversation, and then went to the window and pulled down the bamboo curtain to cover it.He picked a crack to look out, the entrance of the hotel and half of Fuqian Street were within sight, this place is not bad.

"I didn't see Zhan Zhuli a while ago, so I sent two people to watch Wu Yong, but now it's in the way, Wu Yong can't get away, Zhan Zhuli can't contact him, so I can't lead the snake out of the hole." Zhang Ning put down the curtain whispered.

Peach Blossom Fairy followed his words and said, "Suddenly withdrawing the staff now may make Wu Yong and the others suspicious, afraid of self-defeating." After she finished speaking, she poured boiling water from the kettle, quickly took out a small box from her pocket, poured the water A few drops were lightly dripped in, as if testing for poison.Maybe people who run the rivers and lakes are used to it, and they are very vigilant outside, but Zhang Ning doesn't think there is anything wrong with the inn in front of the Yamen.

Zhang Ning stood in front of the window for a long time, pondering silently, thinking: Zhan Zhuli will try to contact Wu Yong. Zhuli was really helpless.

The street downstairs is half bright and half cloudy, the sun is setting, and it is almost dusk.At this time, he turned around and called Xu Wenjun to come over and said: "Wenjun, go back to the Yuanshui tea garden and send a message to your grandfather to ask him to arrange something early in the morning." for a while.Xu Wenjun walked out as ordered.

After a while, Peach Blossom Fairy suddenly asked lightly and thoughtlessly: "Will Wen Jun come back tonight?"

Zhang Ning replied casually, "I'm not coming back. I'll let her stay in the tea garden tonight." After he finished speaking, he felt that Peach Blossom Fairy asked strangely, so he couldn't help but look up at her face, only to see her lowered eyebrows. I can't see anything... In fact, even if she said with a smile that she was left alone and widowed, Zhang Ning thought it was normal to make fun of her; Those who have experienced Zhang Ning will not care about him if they are familiar with Zhang Ning.

Unexpectedly, she didn't continue talking, she lowered her head in silence for a while, and then said solemnly: "Are we going to change the whistle to watch the hotel?"

"No, it's useless to follow. It's hard to happen to see Zhan Zhuli doing activities on Fuqian Street." Zhang Ning said.

As the sun gradually set, a few gorgeous clouds appeared over the old gray government yamen. The buildings of the yamen were dim and ancient, forming an extreme contrast with the bright colors of the clouds.

As the saying goes, Yun Zhaoxia does not go out and travels thousands of miles in the sunset, which means that the weather will be sunny when there is a sunset. Unexpectedly, there is no certainty, and it actually started to rain after dark.Dim lights, humid air, the temperature seems to be lower after nightfall.At this time, the "hotel" didn't even have a TV, so it was boring and cold. Zhang Ning said, "I'll rest here tonight... We have booked a room next door. Which one do you want to stay in?"

Peach Blossom Fairy was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "Does Ping An hate me that much?"

"Where is it?" Zhang Ning was stunned, then turned around and pointed to the bed with a smile, "There is only one bed in a room, we can't sleep together, what is that like?"

Peach Blossom Fairy said: "Then you sleep, I will sit."

Zhang Ning opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, he touched his forehead again, suddenly felt that Peach Blossom Fairy was very strange these days, and she was not used to making fun of her anymore.Maybe after a while she will burst out laughing and say something to tease you.But after a long silence, nothing like that happened.

Originally, the lonely man and the widow were together in the same room and didn't think it was wrong, but at this moment the atmosphere suddenly became a little ambiguous.For Zhang Ning, it's not a big deal. Monogamy is a common practice in modern society. At this time, apart from provoking famous women from good families who pay attention to their integrity, it's really not a bad idea to spend time outside. Count it.

But Peach Blossom Fairy is an exception, because she can be regarded as Fang Ling's "best friend", and it is easy to cause conflicts between women if she is not careful.Zhang Ning understood in his heart that the so-called three wives and four concubines are all right, and morality and laws are allowed, but he can't make the harem quarrel and make trouble for himself?The point is that Zhang Ning didn't have that kind of thought about Peach Blossom Fairy from the very beginning, so there's no need to cause trouble, especially these days, he doesn't care about love for children.

Just now Peach Blossom Fairy said, "You sleep and I sit." When it came to this point, Zhang Ning couldn't push her away, and couldn't leave her behind, so he just froze for the time being.

Things in the world are very strange, if two people get along harmoniously together, discussing things or chatting, it will be natural; if they are together silently like now, they will have a lot more reserved unspeakable thoughts.

Peach Blossom Fairy was silent, and Zhang Ning was not a person who could find something to say. He walked around the room for a few steps, feeling quite bored, so he turned to face the bamboo curtain of the window to see the night view of the long street.Even in the center of the city, it becomes quiet after nightfall, because there is no noise from cars on the road, and the drizzle outside the window "rustles", and the tiny voice becomes clearer in the quiet night.

Unknowingly, that beautiful line of words reappeared in Zhang Ning's mind, and whispered softly: "The small building listened to the spring rain all night..."

Suddenly his back sank, and then his shoulder blades felt soft. He suddenly realized that Peach Blossom Fairy was hugging him from behind. He hurriedly turned around and gently grabbed her arm, trying to make fun of her, but suddenly saw Peach Blossom Fairy's cheek Tears hung on his face.He stood there in a daze, knowing her for so long, this was the first time he saw her like this.I remember seeing this girl for the first time, she was going to kill herself, and she gave the impression that she was an old Jiang Hu, isn't she a strongman who can't kill but nods her head on her belt?Why do I suddenly feel that she is very fragile tonight?

"You..." Zhang Ning put his hand on her arm, speechless, and didn't know whether his hand was going to push her or withdraw it.

Peach Blossom Fairy choked up and said, "Can I hold you?"

Zhang Ning sighed slightly, and let her hold her, thinking that he is still afraid of being held by a woman even if he is a man?He couldn't see the woman's tears, so his heart softened, and he said kindly, "Do you have something on your mind, maybe it will make you feel better if you say it."

Peach Blossom Fairy couldn't help wiping away her tears, and said with a smile, "Is there anything on my mind, but aren't you very worried about Zhan Zhuli telling the truth?"

Zhang Ning pretended to be relaxed and said: "The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge, and the matter has come to this point, it is useless to worry."

Peach Blossom Fairy suddenly became gentle at this time, and said softly: "Ping An is a person who can make people feel at ease, and it feels good to hold you."

Zhang Ning said casually: "I feel uneasy because I have done something wrong to my heart. I have never done anything wrong to my heart." Peach Blossom Fairy said: "You really have never done a single thing wrong to your heart?" He has lived for many years as a human being, and he has never done anything particularly bad with serious guilt. He killed someone the year before last, but he thinks that people like Peng Tianheng should die without guilt, and there is no psychological burden for killing someone.So he said frankly: "Is it a sin to steal persimmons from other people's homes before?"

"Pfft..." Peach Blossom Fairy laughed through tears, amused, and blushed immediately.

Seeing this, Zhang Ning spoke kindly, while gently holding her arm away, otherwise, if Peach Blossom Fairy sticks to her body for a while, he will definitely be hardened, and it will be difficult to stand against her at that time.

Peach Blossom Fairy didn't continue pestering her anymore, she stopped her smile and whispered: "I know I'm not good, I don't deserve it...I'm a woman who shows my face and wanders the world, I have no status and honor, I... can't change it , I can only live like this, there should be no more daydreams..."

Zhang Ning listened carefully, maybe it was because the night was too quiet, and his mood became more delicate. Peach Blossom Fairy spoke slowly, and he gradually put himself in her place and thought of her. I lost myself and felt deja vu.

"There is no hope." Zhang Ning interrupted abruptly.

Peach Blossom Fairy looked at his face with some surprise, his face was very quiet, and seemed to be addicted to something.Suddenly Peach Blossom Fairy felt that her heart was so close to him.

Zhang Ning recalled his low self-esteem and despair facing others after he was terminally ill in his previous life, as well as some other bits and pieces. It seemed that life could see the end at a glance.He whispered, "I feel the same way."

Still empathize with the word, called Peach Blossom Fairy's eyes blurred.Zhang Ning noticed her expression at this time, so he gently squeezed her palm and said, "I will treat you well."
