The boy in front of the hall put down the book and turned his head to look outside the house. The rain outside began to heavier.

The straw curtain in front of the hall was rolled up, and the air was a little wet.

Looking at the rain for a moment, I still didn't hear anyone coming back.

The boy in the robe in the hall sighed.

He stood up, took off a paper umbrella hanging on the wall, walked out of the hall and said.

"I'll go find it."

So he was ready to go out.

But before the boy could go out, there was a slight hurried knock on the door.

"Brother Zhong, uncle, hurry up, open the door quickly, I'm soaked."

Listening to the panicked voice of the girl outside the door, the two teenagers in the door looked at each other and shook their heads with a smile.

······

"Dry it yourself."

In the courtyard, the young man called the girl Zhong brother covered a piece of linen on the girl's wet head, turned around and walked back to the hall, and hung the paper umbrella in his hand aside.

After changing into clean clothes, the chill was still there. The girl shivered and grabbed the linen cloth on her head and rubbed her hair.

"Really, why did it rain suddenly this day?"

"The spring rain is full of irregularity." Another young man sitting in the yard laughed as he listened to the girl's complaints.

"I'll go and burn some fire for you."

It didn't take long to get dark.

In the evening after it got dark, there was no light in the countryside, only the stars and moons in that sky could have some lighting.

It was rainy again, and even the stars and moon were covered behind the clouds, and there was really no light, and I couldn't see the road clearly when I walked on the road.

The rain was getting heavier outside the house, and a stove was lit in the house, which made the room a little warmer.

The girl sat by the fire and rubbed her hands. The fire was watching the rain outside flowing down the eaves.

Although it has been spring, the cold winter is still there and the weather is still a little cold.

And the two teenagers were sitting in one of their own places and reading a book.

Books are still rare in this year and month, and most of them are hidden in the study rooms of wealthy families.

Judging from the appearance of this thatched yard, this should be just an ordinary family.

I don’t know why, but the two brothers seemed to be accustomed to reading.

There seemed to be only three brothers and sisters in the house, and it seemed a little deserted at night.

All three sat silently, only the sound of the firewood roasting sounded slightly, and occasionally one or two more times of flipping the book.

"Bang bang."

The door was knocked at this time, the girl looked over, and the other two teenagers also raised their eyes from the book.

"Is anyone?"

A strange sound came from outside, and the sound was a little blurry, as if it was done on purpose, and it was impossible to hear the man and woman.

"Yes, is there something wrong?" the girl asked.

The voice outside the door replied.

"Sorry, I'm disturbing you. I'm passing by here. It's raining heavily. I wonder if I can take refuge with you?"

The voice was kind, but it fell into the ears of the two teenagers in the room, which made them frown.

Now the world is not peaceful, the Yellow Turban disaster is still uncertain, and the rioters and bandits are rampant.

Passersby who are still rushing outside so late can inevitably think of bad places.

The girl next to her didn't think much about it, and responded and was about to open the door.

"Wait a minute." The boy in the short shirt stopped her.

"Brother Uncle, what's wrong?" the girl asked in confusion.

"Let me ask first."

The boy looked out the door and asked with a smile.

"It's hard to walk on this night. I don't know who my brother is, so why did he get here?"

The voice outside the door paused for a moment and realized that he had been misunderstood, and there was a little helplessness in his voice.

"There is nothing, it's just a study tour. I planned to spend the night in the nearby forest, but it suddenly started raining, and there was nowhere else nearby, so I came here."

The young man in the short shirt looked back at his brother in the hall.

Seeing him nodding, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to the outside of the door.

"Brother, wait a minute, and I'll open the door for you."

The boy walked to the door and opened the door.

The person standing outside the house was already soaked, with a hat on his head, and the rain dripped on his side.

He was wearing a gray cloth robe, but he could no longer see what he was like at this time.

I was carrying a box made of bamboo and wood on my back, and I didn’t know what was inside. What was strange was that the box didn’t seem to be very wet.

He held a black cane in his hand, and there was a thin slit on the cane, which seemed to be able to be pulled open.

The boy smiled apologetically and said.

"I'm really embarrassed to let my brother wait outside for so long. Now it's always uneasy outside, so I'm a little careful and I hope you can forgive me."

"Oh, nothing happened."

The man in gray smiled and waved his hands indifferently. Some people looked at the boy in front of him strangely.

Although she looks like an ordinary farmer, her behavior, words and deeds are decent and polite.

It's not that bad, it's just a bit surprising.

The boy led the man in gray into the hall, which was much warmer than outside.

The young man in white robe who had been sitting in the hall had only looked ordinary and calm.

But when he saw the man in gray, he was stunned for a moment, then a little disgust appeared in his eyes, and he snorted lightly, without saying hello to the man in gray.

The young man in gray also discovered his brother's attitude and was a little puzzled.

Usually, my brother doesn’t talk to outsiders except for his friends, but he usually doesn’t lose etiquette and rarely does it look like this time.

The man in gray seemed to have noticed the attitude of the boy in white, but he didn't care too much, and just gave a simple bow.

"Shanren Gu Nan, thank you for taking in Xiaojun."

"Yes." The young man in white nodded lightly.

"If the rain stops, leave early."

This is almost the same as giving a ban on orders to expel guests.

The boy in short-dressed shirt standing aside smiled awkwardly and bowed to Gu Nan and said.

"In Zhuge Jun, Brother Zhong of the family is less than others' words on weekdays, so he is very rude."

"That's it." A girl's voice came.

"Brother Zhong is always like this, just ignore him."

Gu Nan turned around and looked at the girl, who was the girl she saw in the evening.

The girl handed a piece of linen to Gu Nan and smiled and said, "Pull it, my name is Zhuge Ying."

This is a lively age.

"Thank you."

Gu Nan smiled and took the linen.

Zhuge is a rare surname, and Zhuge Jun's name also sounds familiar, but I can't remember who it was for a while.

The young man in white robe did not say his name, but stood up and left with the book.

The boy named Zhuge Jun looked at Gu Nan apologetically, asked Zhuge Yingduo to receive him, and chased him.

"Brother Zhong, brother Zhong."

In the back room, Zhuge Jun called the boy in white robe.

The young man in white robe stopped, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Brother Zhong is such a badass."

Zhuge Jun said to the boy in embarrassment.
