Useless Scholar
Chapter 3
However, Shu Mingshen didn't dare to rashly go and disturb Dongfang Bubai at this time, because the other party might have already turned off the lights and gone to bed.
After all, if one were to talk about who could drink the most among his tenants, and even the wine jug never left his side, then it would definitely be this Brother Dongfang.
Because the others were at most drinkers, but this person was simply an alcoholic.
Ever since this person moved into his courtyard, Shu Mingshen had seen him get dead drunk almost every day. The next day, he would sleep until late in the morning before waking up.
In addition, this Brother Dongfang didn't seem to have a very good temper. If it wasn't for the fact that he had no other choice, he really didn't dare to rashly disturb him …
However, Shu Mingshen finally finished washing the dishes and wiping off the water stains on his body. Then, he dragged his feet to Dongfang Bubai's door.
Shu Mingshen first leaned on the door and carefully listened to see if the other party was asleep. If so, he could come back tomorrow to thank the other party.
However, after leaning on the door for a long time, he suddenly realized that instead of going to bed in the middle of the night, he went to other people's room to eavesdrop. Wasn't that too rude? How could a gentleman do something like that?
Thus, he hurriedly climbed up from the door.
Shu Mingshen coughed lightly. Just as he raised his hand to knock on the door, he saw the door in front of him being pulled open from inside the room.
Dongfang Bubai, dressed in red, was standing at the door with his arms crossed. He looked at him expressionlessly, "…"
Shu Mingshen resisted the urge to retreat. A smile appeared on his face, and he said to the man in front of him, "Brother Dongfang, this one is here to thank you for saving this one and Agy …"
Dongfang Bubai's face was already extremely pale because of his usual unrestrained drinking. In addition, at this moment, his red clothes were as red as blood in the dark night …
"…" Not to mention Agy, even Shu Mingshen felt goosebumps all over his body when he looked at the man in front of him.
Dongfang Bubai looked at him coldly for a long time. Then, he impatiently said to him, "Come in."
Shu Mingshen hurriedly walked in with the supper in his hand.
"Uh, Brother Dongfang …" Shu Mingshen wanted to say something, but Dongfang Bubai had already sat back on his bed again. He heroically drank the wine in his hand and said, "You can't be thinking of letting me treat your injuries, right?"
As he said this, he couldn't help but glance at the side of his still face, which was still purple.
When Shu Mingshen heard this, he quickly shook his head and said, "This one doesn't dare. This one just wants to thank Brother Dongfang for being righteous and not letting the two of us die in the hands of those vicious people …"
However, after Dongfang Bubai sized him up for a moment, he suddenly cracked his thin lips and said, "It doesn't matter. In any case, I have nothing to do. Come over here, I'll help you treat the injuries on your face."
Shu Mingshen was originally a little hesitant. Seeing Dongfang Bubai like this, he could only obediently walk in front of the other party, "Then, many thanks Brother Dongfang. Actually, this one's injuries aren't too serious. There's no need to do this … Wah!"
Before he could finish his words, Dongfang Bubai had already impatiently pressed him in front of the long bed he was sitting on. It happened to press on an old injury on Shu Mingshen's body. Immediately, the pain made Shu Mingshen break out in cold sweat and see stars.
"Brother Dongfang …" Shu Mingshen said pitifully. He knew that he shouldn't have disturbed Dongfang Bubai. The other party didn't seem like he was going to treat his injuries. If he hit harder, it would be like murder!
However, Dongfang Bubai didn't care. He took out a medicine bottle with unknown contents from his bosom and applied it on Shu Mingshen's face without any gentleness. At the same time, he raised his eyebrows and smiled at him a little evilly, "Only when you know the pain will you remember. Otherwise, with your skills, you will only die faster if you fight with others!"
Shu Mingshen grimaced in pain, but he didn't dare to avoid the hand that was applying the medicine on him. He could only reluctantly endure and say, "I didn't want to be rough with them. Those people were deliberately looking for trouble, and Agy and I are both powerless …"
Who would have thought that Invincible East snorted coldly when he heard that. He sneered and said, "Do you really think that he's as useless as you, that he can't even pick up a sword …?"
Shu Mingshen asked doubtfully, "Isn't that the case?"
Dongfang Bubai ignored him. He just sat there and continued to drink after applying the medicine. It wasn't until Shu Mingshen packed up and was about to leave that he said to him, "You better change your habit of trusting everyone too easily. Otherwise, who knows when you will suffer a great loss …"
Shu Mingshen raised his hand and scratched his head. He smiled foolishly and said, "Thank you Brother Dongfang for reminding me. I know."
He knew, but he still didn't repent. Dongfang Bubai looked at the other's back and sneered. Then he lay on the bed and continued to drink his wine.
The next morning, Shu Mingshen made breakfast for Agy and Dongfang Bubai. After cleaning all the rooms, he changed his clothes and left the house.
Shu Mingshen walked on the street, greeting the neighbors while thinking about what to eat for lunch and dinner.
But before that, he had to go to a small building on the east side of the city. He had already made an appointment with someone to meet there …
It was a small building with a unique shape that was overflowing with the fragrance of flowers from the top to the bottom.
Regardless of whether it was spring, summer, autumn, or winter, cold or hot, the building was always filled with all kinds of flowers, as if those flowers would never wither.
Flowers, of course, would wither, but the person who planted them could place the most suitable flowers in the most suitable season.
Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, those flowers seemed to always be in full bloom.
Every time Shu Mingshen came to this small building, his mood would always be especially good. This was not only because of the beautiful flowers in the building that could make people forget all their troubles, but also because there was a man here, a man who was even more beautiful than these flowers and couldn't be ignored.
That man's name was Hua Manlou, Hua Manlou who was full of flowers and full of flowers …
