In the rainy season, not only will you not know when it will rain, but you will not know how much it can rain.
This morning, when Chen Xing came up, he saw the drizzle floating outside the window, and watched the rain fall on the newly sprouted branches, forming small balls of water droplets.
Chen Xing stared out of the window with some fascination, until a gust of wind hit him, shaking his whole body, and he suddenly came back to his senses. He returned to the bed with some regrets and put on his clothes, thinking that he would go to the stall early today, otherwise it would be bad if it rained heavily later.
When Qiu Jiu came to help, he saw that Chen Xing had already prepared breakfast. He yawned, looked at Chen Xing and asked in surprise, "Why did you get up so early today?"
Chen Xing added seasonings to the prepared chicken noodle soup, without raising his head, he said, "The weather is bad today, let's go there early. Mr. Gu should be awake, why don't you ask him to eat noodles?"
Qiu Jiu nodded and left.
When Qiu Jiu left, Chen Xing looked at the three bowls of noodles in satisfaction, picked them up and walked towards the living room.
After the three of them had breakfast together, Chen Xing and Qiu Jiu put on their coir raincoats and prepared to set off under Gu Lang's watchful eye.
Gu Lang, who was dressed in green clothes, stood in the corridor, the breeze gently blew his clothes, and he could hear the sound of raindrops getting bigger and bigger. He looked at the two people who were busy, and said in a gentle voice: "If it rains heavily, come back sooner." , don't get sick."
Chen Xing nodded in response, looked at Gu Lang who was wearing thin clothes, waved at him, and said loudly: "We understand, you are not in good health, go back to the house."
Under Chen Xing's repeated urging, Gu Lang just turned around and went back to the house.
After watching Gu Lang leave, Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Qiu Jiu, "Let's go."
But at this time, there was supposed to be only Gu Lang alone in the study room, but at this time there was another young man in his early twenties standing in front of Gu Lang, and said respectfully to him: "Master, the evidence of the family's crimes is incriminating." It has all been handed over to the county magistrate here, and those families who have been victimized by Lai Xin, we have also guided them to file a lawsuit, and the verdict should come down soon."
Gu Lang replied calmly, watching the rain that was gradually increasing outside, and said in a low voice: "It's almost noon, boil a pot of ginger syrup, and then boil two stoves of hot water enough for bathing."
The young man was still a little surprised when he heard the order, and he responded without hesitation after a while, "Yes."

Chen Xing felt fortunate that they walked quickly. When they arrived at the booth from Gu's mansion, the drizzle had turned into a downpour.
Chen Xing looked at the rain that was getting bigger and bigger, and was a little worried that today's things would not be sold. Who knew that the rain would get smaller after a while. They bought all the rest of their meals.
Chen Xing felt that he was very lucky. At the same time, he looked at the dark clouds gradually gathering in the sky, and hurriedly called Qiu Jiu to pack up his things and go back. He felt that there must be a heavy rain later.
Sure enough, on the way Chen Xing and Qiu Jiu hurriedly returned home after packing up their things, the rain that had already stopped began to rain again. When the two entered Gu's house, they were completely soaked.
As soon as he entered the door, Chen Xing took off his coir raincoat and was about to walk back along the corridor.
After Chen Xing finally took off the raincoat that had become more and more bulky after getting wet, when he looked up, he saw Gu Lang standing not far from them with two long scarves, walking slowly towards them.
Gu Lang walked towards Chen Xing step by step, and then his eyes fell on Chen Xing. Following the water droplets rolling from his hair, he slowly moved to his cheeks that were slightly transparent from the water. On the cold and pale lips, and finally slowly along the slender neck to the neckline of the skirt. Looking at the skin that became whiter due to the cold, his eyes gradually became darker.
Chen Xing always felt that the way Gu Lang looked at him was a bit weird, which made him have the urge to shrink himself into a ball.
Gu Lang came to them calmly, handed them the long towel in his hand, and said warmly: "I prepared bath water for you, go wash it first, and then go to the kitchen to drink ginger syrup."
Chen Xing looked at the thoughtful and soft-spoken man in front of him, took the long scarf he handed over, and said softly, "Thank you."
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's beautiful eyes that seemed to have been washed, "You're welcome."
Chen Xing felt his cheeks burn when he met Gu Lang's eyes. He hurriedly thanked him again, and ran towards his room with the long scarf.
Gu Lang stared at his back as he was running away, his eyes slowly fell to his extraordinarily slender waist, and even slid down a little bit, then he turned his head to look at the sky covered with dark clouds, and said with a chuckle: "It's pretty good." keen."
When Chen Xing finished taking a shower, changed into clean clothes, and was sitting on the porch drinking a bowl of ginger syrup, Gu Lang also walked over slowly.
Chen Xing watched Gu Lang say hello to himself, then sat down on the recliner in the middle naturally, and couldn't help reminding: "Mr. Gu, you should bring a blanket. It's cold in the rain. , not good for your health."
Hearing Chen Xing's reminder, Gu Lang turned his head and stared at him silently without speaking.
Chen Xing thought that what he said offended him, and was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do, so he heard Gu Lang say slowly: "Gu Lang."
"What?" Chen Xing was puzzled.
Gu Lang stared at him without blinking, and said in a serious tone: "Call me Gu Lang."
Chen Xing was slightly stunned, and under Gu Lang's intense gaze, he called out softly, "Gu Lang."
Gu Lang seemed satisfied, and smiled at him, "Yeah."
Seeing the sudden smile on Gu Lang's face, Chen Xing's cheeks suddenly became hot. He quickly looked away, pretending to be calm and staring at the small puddle of water in the yard, looking at the water in the puddle when the raindrops fell. Ripples gradually appear.
When the heat on Chen Xing's face had subsided, he quietly turned his head to look at Gu Lang again.
The moment Chen Xing turned his head and saw Gu Lang, he saw Gu Lang sitting on a large recliner, looking at the sky above the courtyard, those black eyes seemed to be filled with emotions he couldn't understand, but it made him Feeling endless sadness.
Chen Xing looked towards the sky along his line of sight, except for the extremely depressing and pitch-black sky, he couldn't see anything else. He remained silent and did not speak, quietly accompanying Gu Lang.
Just as Chen Xing listened to the sound of the rain and was thinking about how much money he had earned so far, whether it was enough to pay off the rest of the rent, he suddenly heard the quiet person next to him say, "What are you thinking?"
Chen Xing turned his head and saw Gu Lang staring at him gently, he said his thoughts casually, "I think if it doesn't rain in the afternoon, I will go to the yamen to pay the rest of the rent."
Gu Lang nodded and agreed, "That's fine." Then, as if thinking of something, he continued, "I'll go with you."
When Chen Xing heard his words, his first reaction was to stop him.
Gu Lang seemed to have seen through his thoughts, slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and said lightly: "Don't worry, my body is not too weak to pass out after going out for a circle. I have been back for so long, and I haven't looked at it properly yet." After passing here, I almost don’t remember what it looks like in some places.”
Chen Xing thought of what happened to Gu Lang, and his heart softened a little, and he didn't continue to stop him. Looking at him, he nodded and said seriously: "Let's go together, after I finish paying the money, we can go to other places change."
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's expression of 'I'll take care of you', slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and said with a smile, "Then I'll trouble you."
Chen Xing felt that Gu Lang's voice seemed to have a hook, which made his ears a little itchy, and he quickly looked away, not daring to look at him again.
After lunch, they took a short rest, and the originally cloudy sky suddenly cleared up.
Chen Xing looked at the sky where the sun was exposed and felt that God was helping them, he turned his head and smiled at Gu Lang who was beside him: "The sky is clear, we will set off later."
Gu Lang looked at his bright smile and nodded.
After both of them had packed up, Chen Xing took Gu Lang to search for the memories from last time, and came to the place where the contract was signed.
As soon as I entered, I saw the officer who handled the certificate, who was sitting impatiently behind the table, and said harshly to the two people in front of him: "Here, you sign, here, he signs, After signing, give me a contract fee of 30 Wen."
"Yes Yes."
Although the official's attitude was not good, the two people in front of him did not dare to complain at all, and carefully signed and signed according to his instructions.
After both of them signed, the official put away one copy and put it in the box beside him, and gave the other two copies to the two of them, then waved his hand and said impatiently: "Okay, You can go."
The two thanked each other repeatedly, took the deed and left.
Seeing that the two had left, the officer raised his eyelids, wanting the next pair to come up, but when he looked up, he saw Chen Xing. After seeing his face clearly, the impatient look on the officer's face immediately changed to With a bright smile, he said flatteringly, "Brother Chen, what's the matter with you here?"
Chen Xing felt that the official's attitude towards him was a bit too hospitable, but he still replied honestly: "Master, I'm here to pay the remaining half of the rent from last time."
Hearing what Chen Xing said, the officer was obviously a little surprised, looked at him and muttered: "You saved enough money so quickly?"
Chen Xing looked at him and nodded silently, "Yes."
Seeing this, the official did not continue to say anything. He went directly to another wooden box and found two deeds. After asking Chen Xing to hand over the money to him, he sent the deeds that Chen Xing still owed money to. The line of the letter was crossed out, and then one of the contracts was handed over to Chen Xing. The transaction was considered to be completely completed.
After all this was done, the officer looked at Gu Lang who had been silently following behind Chen Xing, making it impossible to ignore his existence, and asked curiously, "Who is this?"
