Weizhou and Cangzhou are adjacent to each other. The flood in the 11th year of Tianjian forced countless victims along the Wei River to leave Weizhou. And when they left Weizhou, they wanted to go to places, places they could go to, and places they could go to.

Only Cangzhou.

However, even if they came to Cangzhou from Weizhou, not many victims survived in the end.

Chen Chao is just an exception.

A story that cannot be replicated.

So in fact, what Chen Chao said in that hall did not make much sense at all, because there would not be a second Chen Chao in the world, and there would not be the same story.

A familiar story is not the same story.

Many people understand this truth.

But familiar and identical stories often happen in this world.

Thinking about this matter, the dean went south faster, but in less than half a day, he entered Weizhou. Then the leader of scholars in the world stood at a ferry and looked at it for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

.

The people passed by him, but no one recognized him.

Of course, no one in the world would really think that they could meet the leader of scholars in the world, the dean of the academy, at an ordinary ferry crossing.

…

…

Tianqing County has actually been relatively peaceful in the past six months. Although a very good guard envoy left, a new guard envoy came here soon. He was a very ordinary martial artist. His realm was not high, but he was still

It's not bad. I've done my duty well, and there are no monsters around here anymore, so Tianqing County is really at peace.

The cloth seller continued to sell cloth, the wine seller continued to sell wine, and the slovenly man was still so slovenly.

Zhou Gouqi has talked a lot less in the past six months, probably because the boy who lives across the street has really left. No one in the whole peach blossom alley quarrels with him anymore, and his mother-in-law doesn't like to quarrel and likes to get physical.

So his life is a bit boring these days.

When you are bored, you will look a little depressed. Zhou Gouqi was sitting on the threshold of his home. Suddenly he felt a little irritable, so he casually shouted inside: "I want to go on a long trip!"

There was a response from inside soon, it was a woman's voice, "You are not allowed to go!"

Zhou Gouqi frowned and said irritably: "I haven't said what to do yet."

The woman walked out of the house, crossed the courtyard, and came to the door. She said a little unreasonably: "I can't go anyway!"

In the past six months, the woman has actually lost a lot of weight. Wherever she still had her strong body, her waist can now be vaguely seen.

Zhou Gouqi did not turn around, but insisted: "I have listened to you on everything these years, can you listen to me this time?!"

After hearing this, the woman immediately started crying, not loudly, as if she was afraid of being heard by others, but Zhou Gouqi was so close to her, so she couldn't hear her.

"Why are you crying? If you are unhappy, will you beat me up?"

Zhou Gouqi leaned against the door frame, wondering what he was thinking.

The woman stood behind the door and choked up: "You think I don't know that you have been letting me go all these years just so that you can feel at ease when you have to leave one day. You have already thought of this day, haven't you?"

In the past few years, everyone in the neighborhood has said that Zhou Gouqi is a coward, but I am afraid that no one knows better than the woman in front of her what kind of person her husband is. His pretended cowardice and weakness are actually all for the sake of not wanting to

Let others see his true self.

But if we spend time together day and night, sharing the same bed, there is nothing we can’t find.

Zhou Gouqi frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about."

The woman's face was filled with tears and she said sadly: "You think I don't know anything. I'm not as smart as you, but I'm not stupid. I know. I know everything!"

The woman shouted from behind the door, her voice gradually getting louder.

"Keep your voice down. Do you really want people to hear such a loud voice?"

Zhou Gouqi waved his hand, but soon understood that this was meaningless, so he turned around and looked at the woman who had been with him for more than ten years. These days, he naturally knew that she had some thoughts in her heart, otherwise it would not be possible for her to lose weight like this.

Go down, but in fact the woman in front of me is certainly not ugly, especially after losing weight, there is a bit of elegance between her brows, and even because she comes from a remote place, she has a more natural feeling, and she looks very

It's pleasing to the eye.

Zhou Gouqi looked at the woman with tears on her face and wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything and just sighed slightly.

The woman looked at him blankly, and then just asked softly: "Can you take me with you?"

"I know you won't come back after you go out. I know you must go out, and there must be a reason for you to go out. Then I won't stop you, and you can take me out with you."

The woman's eyes were full of pleading. In the past few years, the man in front of her had been giving in to her, and she had gone too far. In fact, it was just to see how far he could retreat. No woman is born with a bad temper.

No man is born a coward. After all, I just want to see how far he will endure it.

Zhou Gouqi looked at her without saying a word.

"Still not working?"

There was some disappointment in the woman's voice, which gradually became quieter.

"Of course not. Who will come to see your home when you are gone?"

Zhou Gouqi said matter-of-factly: "Who told you that I'm going on a long trip? Can't I go over there and see the lady who sells wine? Can't I come back later for dinner?"

The woman looked at him, still with tears streaming down her face.

Zhou Wolfberry became a little irritable and wanted to say something, but still couldn't say anything.

But a moment later, he saw the woman in front of him raising her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Gouqi was startled and then a little surprised.

"somebody is coming."

The woman lowered her voice and hid inside the door.

What a good woman she is. No matter how she quarrels with her man, she will still know how to protect her man's face.

Zhou Gouqi muttered, "Where is the person?"

In this Peach Blossom Alley, their family is already in the deepest part of the alley. When Chen Chao was still there, there were still people who would go to the deepest part of this alley, but now, they shouldn't be there.

As a result, when Zhou Gouqi turned around, he saw a middle-aged man slowly walking towards the depths of the alley.

Zhou Gouqi was suddenly startled, and then he stood blankly on the spot, silent.

It's probably because I'm really speechless, rather than because I don't want to say anything.

I don’t know how long it took, maybe it was because the alley was too quiet, or maybe the woman had wiped away her tears, and then she poked her head out and looked at the middle-aged man who was almost walking to the door. She felt a little strange.

, even though the middle-aged man looked not much older than the man in front of him, he still felt that the middle-aged man in front of him should be an old man with gray hair.

The middle-aged man walked to the door and ignored Zhou Wolfberry who was standing in front of the door. Instead, he looked at the woman and said with a smile: "I'm tired, can you take a rest?"

The woman was startled, then looked at Zhou Gouqi.

But Zhou Wolfberry remained motionless. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said: "Go and cook, take off the piece of bacon, grab a chicken and stew it. Take out the tea leaves I bought last year and make a pot of tea."

The woman paused, said oh, and quickly turned around and went in to make preparations.

The middle-aged man walked to the courtyard and sat in front of a bench that the woman had moved out. He said to himself: "It's a small, remote town. It's quite quiet. There's no need to study. There's no husband to play the board, and there aren't any monks? That's it.

Say, if you want to be reasonable, you can be reasonable. If you don’t want to be reasonable, then everyone has to recognize this truth?"

The middle-aged man's voice was a little soft, like the breeze blowing in the mountains, but it was pleasant to the ears anyway.

But Zhou Wolfberry didn't think so.

The aroma gradually floated in the yard, the smell of bacon and chicken soup.

The middle-aged man sniffed and said with some satisfaction: "My wife is not bad, but she is a little fatter."

Zhou Wolfberry remained silent, thinking that if you had come earlier, you wouldn't just say that you were a little fatter.

The middle-aged man frowned and said, "You just plan to never see or talk to me for the rest of your life?"

Having said this, Zhou Gouqi naturally couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb again. He looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, then knelt down and said seriously: "Meet the teacher."

When Zhou Gouqi knelt down, the woman happened to come out. Seeing this scene, she was shocked to the extreme. She didn't know what to say, but she still wanted to come over and kneel down together, but she hadn't come over yet.

The middle-aged man turned to her and smiled: "Go and watch the pot, don't burn the vegetables."

Only then did the woman remember that there was such a thing, turned around quickly, and soon returned to the kitchen.

The middle-aged man was naturally the dean, but no one would have guessed that Zhou Gouqi in front of him was also the dean's disciple.

The dean has only seventy-two disciples. In other words, among the scholars in this world, only seventy-two people are lucky enough to be able to worship the dean. This is a very remarkable thing.

"The disciple heard that the teacher finally got what he wanted and accepted the junior sister. Speaking of which, the disciple even met the junior sister..."

Zhou Gouqi just spoke, and then he remembered the scene when he met Xie Nandu for the first time. He felt a little embarrassed, so he didn't say anything further.

The dean sneered, "You guys, if you think there is a good place in the world except the academy, why are you running around so much? Why don't you worry about when I, the teacher, will die? You can't even see the last of me?"

"

Zhou Gouqi smiled bitterly and said with some lack of momentum: "Teacher's body is probably not that weak."

Looking at the disciple in front of him who had yellow teeth and no longer looked like a scholar, the dean changed the subject and asked: "Come back to the capital with me this time?"
