afterglow

Chapter 62

The so-called tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. Zhou Changfeng's intention is to have a good rest these few days. After all, the body is the most important capital.

Holding a book of "General History of the World", he looked through the history of modern Germany with great interest. Defeated the British and French intervention forces.

Tsk tsk tsk, what did Germany succeed in?
Then why is Tsarist Russia doing well now?
Puzzled, he carefully compared the modern Russian history, and was surprised to find that... a certain lawyer set off from Germany and was discovered when he entered the country secretly through Scandinavia, so he was arrested. Repatriation, so that he can only continue his great career in Germany?

At the same time, because of Germany's success, Hungary and Slovakia, which had failed, also succeeded in the end.

After being amazed for a few seconds, he quickly analyzed the current world situation, and then realized that things were not simple - the spicy and crispy known for its inefficiency and corruption can sweep across Europe, and now...

It seems that this situation will not take long, and the flag of the French Fourth Republic only needs the right third.

Just when Zhou Changfeng was thinking about it, there was a sound of footsteps coming from far and near outside the door, and then there was a knock on the door.

He thought it was the nurse who came to change the dressing, so he didn't look up, "Come in."

Xia Xiaoshi who pushed the door and entered was overjoyed, because she was worried that she would find the wrong person on the way, but she did not expect it to be.

"Well... sir..."

Wait, why does this sound sound familiar?

Zhou Changfeng raised his eyes and was stunned on the spot—how did this girl get here?

Then it was embarrassing, because neither of them knew the other's name, and Zhou Changfeng, who knew that the jade pendant had been broken into pieces, was a little guilty.

Maybe it was because she thought it was not good to beg for things as soon as she came up, so Xia Xiaoshi asked, "Are...are you seriously injured?"

"It's not heavy, just walked around before the gate of hell." Zhou Changfeng replied casually.

This is the truth. Although the injury was not serious, it was indeed a brush with death.

Xia Xiaoshi nodded slightly, "Then... you said at the time, return the amulet to me when you come back..."

When it's over, I know I'm here to ask for that stuff.

Feeling embarrassed, Zhou Changfeng was silent for two seconds, and said solemnly: "That amulet... fulfilled its mission very well."

That's what I've worn since I was a child, and it works naturally!

Xia Xiaoshi, who didn't know the truth, said with a little complacency, "Really? It's quite clever."

"Indeed, it saved my life."

"Can you pay me back then?"

"Uh... have you heard the rumors among the people that the Jade Broken Protector protects against disasters or something?"

"I've heard it." Xia Xiaoshi, who didn't know why, just uttered the two words, and immediately realized that she asked in surprise, "You won't break it, will you?"

Hey, how can you say that!It's not my intention.

Zhou Changfeng immediately shook his head, and then explained: "At that time, there was a piece of fragment that was coming towards my chest, and that thing just helped to block it..."

As he spoke, he opened the drawer of the bedside table, and took out pieces of jade pendant wrapped in a towel.

???

Whoa? !My jade pendant...such a delicate thing...is now broken into pieces? !
"..." Xia Xiaoshi, who was covered in black lines, didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a while, she took a deep breath, and said quietly: "It's considered to be the best use of everything."

Now Zhou Changfeng felt a little embarrassed, he hesitated and said, "Why don't I pay you back?"

It's fine if you don't say this, but Xia Xiaoshi will be upset if you say it.

Hey, why did I give you the amulet?It was because you saved the passers-by on the street from a car accident that day, so I went to thank you to show my respect.

Regrets are regrets, if it is broken, it will be broken, why are you talking about compensation?Am I that snob?Look down on people, right?

She rolled her eyes, and said lightly: "This jade pendant has been with me for twenty years, it's not worth paying for it. If you really want to pay... just pay me yourself."

aha?Would you like to hear what you're saying?
Zhou Changfeng was overwhelmed by these words, he leaned back tactically, and said with a smile: "Are you sure?"

At this moment, Xia Xiaoshi also felt that what she just blurted out was a bit outrageous, and her cheeks turned red all of a sudden.

"You're quite interesting." Zhou Changfeng rolled over and got off the bed, stood up straight and casually made a cross-hand salute, "Next Zhou Changfeng, from the imperial guards."

Who is okay to say hello like this? After complaining in her heart, Xia Xiaoshi replied: "My surname is Xia."

"Ah Xia, this surname sounds nice." Zhou Changfeng, who looked normal, unscrewed the medicine bottle, took an aspirin, "What about the name?"

"Xiaoshi, Zijie."

I asked if it was the name, not the name plus a word.

Zhou Changfeng was a little surprised that she also had a watch. In ancient times, not everyone had a watch, let alone a woman. Most women couldn’t even keep their names, so what’s the point? Character?
There are not many examples in this regard. For example, Su Shi gave his wife Wang Runzhi the word "Jizhang" and his concubine Wang Yunzhi the word "Zixia";

Nowadays, with the changes in the production system, there are great differences in all aspects from the classical era, and the status and rights of women have also risen. However, not everyone has the ability to take table characters, such as Zhou Changfeng's own "restraint" character, It was until a certain professor who admired him very much gave him the name when he was about to graduate from the Armed Forces Academy.

So the person in front of me...is not from a simple background?But it seems unreasonable. How can a lady run around alone?

Looking at her suspiciously, Zhou Changfeng asked, "What do you do?"

"I teach in Jiangning No. [-] Middle School."

Oh, it turned out to be a teacher, which made sense.

The eyebrows are picturesque, the skin is fat, and the eyes are phoenix. The eyes are very clear and bright, like stars reflected on the lake on a midsummer night.

These facial features are good, especially the eyes are particularly agile.

Zhou Changfeng, who was very interested, continued: "I still have to thank you, otherwise I should have been buried by now."

"Don't thank me, thank yourself if you want to."

"Huh? How do you say it?"

"If you hadn't helped that day, I wouldn't have given you that jade pendant, and you wouldn't have been able to come back." Xia Xiaoshi acted as if it should be taken for granted.

Zhou Changfeng couldn't help laughing, "You can't fault your logic."

"Then can you tell me what happened at that time?"

"Well, when I shrank back to the city, I led people to plan the defense line and arrange key points on the side of the street. The enemies on the high ground outside the city probably noticed it, so they fired a series of shells. One fragment hit the helmet, and one cut Broken arm, and another one just happened to be blocked by the jade pendant, it's hard to penetrate Lu Jin at the end of the crossbow..."
