Chapter 024 There’s a Girl Next Door (2)

As he was talking, a sound came from outside the house.

Immediately following the sound of footsteps, a thin young man rushed into the hall like a wind, his face flushed, his neck twitching and he shouted loudly: "Who took my things?"

"Afu, be bold!"

Deng Ji became furious and shouted loudly.

This young man was Cao Peng. He had just braved the heavy snow and ran to the river beach, but could not find the leather bag. When he came back dejected, he heard Wang Meng say that someone had come to return the leather bag. Cao Peng immediately became anxious and hurriedly ran to the hall.

His tone... is really rude!

The girl pouted and seemed unhappy.

Cao Peng also realized that his tone just now was a bit tough.

So he quickly said: "I'm sorry, I'm just too anxious to get angry. Just treat it like I farted just now. Don't take it personally... Excuse me, who picked up my things?"

What he said was so vulgar that Deng Ji blushed with anger.

Even Cao Ji frowned slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied.

The girl's face also turned red.

But then she laughed out loud. She stood up and asked: "You said you lost something, then let me ask you, what did you lose?"

"A black leather bag with flames embroidered on it."

"What's in that leather pocket?"

Cao Peng was stunned, thought for a while and replied: "There are a few drawings in it, as well as some miscellaneous trivial things."

"Drawings, what drawings?"

"It's the bellows..."

Cao Peng suddenly shut up and stared at the girl.

The girl smiled mischievously, "Oh, it turns out that thing is called a bellows."

Damn it, I’ve been fooled by this little girl!

Cao Peng pursed his lips and said nothing.

The girl seemed to think it was a bit too much, so she picked up the drawings from the case, put them in her pocket, and walked up to Cao Peng.

"Here, give it back to you!"

Cao Peng hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took the leather bag from the girl's hand.

"Thanks!"

"You're welcome...but the little lady has a question. I wonder if the young master can help me answer it?"

Deng Ji spoke at this time, "Afu, please don't be rude, this is Miss Zhang."

Although he was angry at Cao Peng's rude behavior just now, but seeing that the girl was not angry, he stopped pursuing it. At the same time, Deng Ji could also see that the ghostly drawings on the hemp paper seemed to have some secret. He couldn't understand it, but he could

I will think about it...my brother-in-law is different from before! Being valued by Pang Ren is enough to show that Cao Peng is indeed extraordinary. Think of the double liquid quenching method before (in fact, Deng Ji didn't know it, it was called double liquid quenching method)

Liquid quenching method), everything Cao Peng did had a deep meaning.

However, Deng Ji still didn't want Cao Peng to neglect the Zhang family.

Zhang family?

Cao Peng glanced at Deng Ji doubtfully, and then suddenly realized: "Nie Yang Zhang family?"

Even if you know it, you don’t need to say it!

Deng Ji was helpless towards Cao Peng, but he could only nod his head to express that he was not wrong.

"Then I dare to ask Prefect Zhang Ji, who are you?"

Cao Peng always felt that the name Zhang Ji was familiar, but he couldn't remember it. Later, by chance, Deng Ji said "Mr. Zhongjing". Cao Peng asked, who is Mr. Zhongjing? And Deng Ji replied, I am

Didn’t I mention to you before that it’s Prefect Zhang Ji?

Zhang Ji, Zhang Zhongjing?

Isn’t that a famous medical sage from later generations?

In Cao Peng's hometown in his previous life, there was a chain pharmacy called Zhang Zhongjing Pharmacy.

If he doesn't know who Zhang Zhongjing is? That would be really weird...

The girl giggled and said, "That is the little girl's father."

"Ah, that would be rude down below!"

Cao Peng quickly bowed his hands. He was not complimenting the girl, but saluting sincerely. It was not for anything else, just for the name Zhang Zhongjing.

"My name is Wanzhen!"

"ah?"

"my name!"

The girl said angrily, "You are really unreasonable. People have already told you your name, but you haven't said it yet. What is your name?"

Cao Peng woke up from a dream and apologized again and again.

"My surname is Cao, my given name is Peng, and my courtesy name is Youxue."

"You have words!"

Zhang Wanzhen pursed her lips and chuckled: "Should that little lady call you Mr. Youxue?"

"Don't dare, don't dare... just call me Cao Peng!"

"Hehe, I'm not kidding anymore... Wanzhen knows she's presumptuous, but she's still a little curious. To be honest with Mr. Cao, I've been good at civil engineering since I was a child. Today I was going to Jiyang County to see my brother, so I crossed the river and passed by the riverbank.

At that time, under a peach tree, I accidentally picked up the lost things of the young master. I should have returned the lost things to the young master at that time, but due to the rush of time, I had to go to the county town first to handle the matter...

On the way, the little girl accidentally saw the young master's drawings, so she felt a little curious.

This bellows...oh, it's called a bellows. Sir, can you tell the little girl what exactly this bellows is used for?"

There was such eager expectation in those bright eyes that Cao Peng couldn't bear to refuse.

"Well..."

"Afu, you stay here and talk to the lady. I'll go see if dinner is ready."

Deng Ji was very eye-catching. He said "Excuse me" and pulled Cao Ji out of the hall. As soon as he went out, the steward of the Zhang family couldn't stay in the hall anymore because he could see that Cao Peng seemed to be a little agitated.

Hesitant. Since it involves secrets, the fewer people who know about it, the better. He is not afraid that something will happen to Miss Wanzhen... Miss Wanzhen's brother is currently stationed not far from Jiyang.

If there is an accident, that brother can quickly defeat Dengcun...

"Afu?"

When only Cao Peng and Wanzhen were left in the hall, Zhang Wanzhen asked with a smile.

Cao Peng scratched his head in embarrassment, "Ah Fu, is my nickname... My brother-in-law is used to calling him this, which makes the lady laugh."

For some reason, Cao Peng's heart was beating hard.

What a beast!

Looking at her appearance, she must be only fifteen or sixteen years old, but I actually...

Why didn't I think that I was still a lolicon before? But this woman gave people a really weird feeling. Her eyes, her temperament, and... damn, why do girls of this age look so...

What about premature maturity? I actually have the feeling of first love!

The first love in my previous life was a failure!

did not expect……

The girl in front of him made Cao Peng's heart beat faster.

When everyone was there just now, there was nothing. Now that there were only two of them left, Cao Peng realized that this Wanzhen was actually quite beautiful.

"Then Mr. Cao, can you help me clear up my doubts?"

The longing in the girl's eyes made it difficult for Cao Peng to extricate himself.

After hesitating for a moment, he said softly: "I can tell you, but..."

"Don't worry, I will keep it secret."

The girl said seriously: "I know that this thing must be very important to the young master, and I won't tell anyone... If you don't believe it, let's check the box."

As she spoke, she stretched out her delicate jade fingers in front of Cao Peng.

Cao Peng hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and ticked...

When he touched the girl's finger, Cao Peng's heart beat faster.

Zhang Wanzhen's face was also a little red with embarrassment. After lowering her head and checking the box with Cao Peng, she said impatiently: "Actually, I'm just curious. It gives me the feeling that this bellows must have a special purpose...and I think

, the drawings seem to have some flaws and imperfections.”
