C195 Zhou Shi (1/2)

If she had hurried on her journey and didn't talk to him about so much nonsense, then she would have already arrived at the town and wouldn't have to suffer so much in this damned place.

”Let's see if there's anyone.” Ba-Serpent suggested.

”Aren't I looking for it? You think I went out in the rain to take a bath? ” Shadow hated not being able to meet his expectations.

Fortunately, the Heavens did not disappoint those who were kind. They really did find a thatched cottage. Smoke curled up in the rain, adding to their poetry.

And indeed, there lived a poet. To be more precise, a poor scholar.

The scholar was surnamed Zhou, with a single character each.

”I would like to compose a poem under such circumstances. Would the two of you like to listen to it?”

The three of them sat around the table, each with a bowl of rice porridge in front of them.

It was naturally not easy to refuse a great deity and a great figure like him that was living under someone else's roof.

”Mister is light and easy.” Ruying was extremely polite.

The surnamed Zhou frowned. ”Although this lady is dressed like a village woman, her tone and manner of speaking are different from that of an ordinary rural woman.”

Don't say it, this Mr. Zhou is quite shrewd.

”I …” Ruo Ying felt a little embarrassed. She blamed herself for betraying him by saying 'Mister'.

The Ba-Serpent is an impatient person, ”Do you think we are bad people? ”Then we'll leave now.”

The surnamed Zhou quickly stopped them, ”It's neither. Big brother, although you look ugly and annoying, but this lady here knows that you are definitely a good person. I did not have any intention of chasing you away, but I happened to notice it and said it.

When the Ba-Serpent heard these words, it was even more unwilling. Comparing him to a man or a woman, even making him look like a corpse.

”I can't stay here any longer!”

The Ba-Serpent stood up and left without a shred of mercy.

Ru Ying didn't intend to keep him, so she just drank the porridge by herself, not minding at all.

The surnamed Zhou was puzzled. ”Miss, this …”

Phantom Shadow put down his chopsticks. ”He's not stupid. There's no need to get out in the rain just for a single breath.”

After all, their clothes had only been dried with firewood, and they were already feeling warm. They definitely did not want to repeat the same mistake.

When the Ba-Serpent heard this, he felt that what she said made sense. If he didn't want to stay in a nice thatched cottage on a rainy day, there was no need for him to do so.

Therefore, he came back shamelessly and sat down to drink his porridge.

The surnamed Zhou was very satisfied. He cleared his throat and said, ”Then I will be writing poems.”

Ru Ying originally had some expectations, but after hearing his poem, she realized her expectations were quite high.

”Spring sleeps for no reason, mosquitoes bite at every place, the wildfire burns endlessly, and spring winds rise again.” After saying that, he looked at Ruo Ying expectantly, hoping that she would give him an evaluation.

When the Ba-Serpent heard this, he laughed coldly. ”If that counts, then I will too.”

Surnamed Zhou's eyes widened, ”Please enlighten me, Big Brother.”

This elder brother was born with the look of a bandit. Was he sure that he knew how to impart poetry?

With this question in mind, he decided to listen.

Great deity was indeed a great deity. She said casually, ”How much trouble can I have? A group of eunuchs going to the brothel. When I'm poor, I'll take care of myself. When I'm rich, I'll take care of my wives and concubines; when the moon shines, I'll take care of two pairs of shoes on the floor …”

”Enough! Enough!” Illusory Shadow was infuriated. He thought that the surname Zhou was ridiculous enough, but he didn't think that this Ba-Serpent was even better.

Luckily, they were not teachers, so wasn't this the standard way to mislead others?
