After leaving lumen mountain, Zhang Xiu takes Deng Zhan to Liu BA's residence.

According to the information about Liuba provided by Kuai Liangda, the place where Liuba lives is called Zhuhai. A very common name is Zhuhai because there are all kinds of bamboos in this bamboo forest.

In summer, the bamboo sea is extremely cool and will not be attacked by the summer heat. It is a holy land for summer resort.

Near the bamboo sea, there are many people.

Zhang Xiu and Deng Zhan enter the bamboo sea and ask along the way. They gradually approach Liu BA's residence.

Along the way, Zhang Xiu also inquired about the people around Liu ba. Most of the people, when they heard Liu BA's name, looked nervous and awed.

But from the beginning to the end, no one said Liu BA was bad. Among the people, Liu Ba is also enthusiastic and always teaches the children of the people nearby. He is a good person.

But Liu BA's temperament is relatively rigid, which leads to people's awe of Liu ba.

After about half an hour, Zhang Xiu came to the depth of the bamboo sea.

This place is backed by mountains and water.

A wide and elegant courtyard is located at the foot of the mountain. Behind it are dense and green bamboo forests and woods. In front of the yard, there is a flowing stream with gurgling water.

In the stream, across a tube car, just listen to the sound of the wheel ring, tube car rotation water, a happy scene.

Zhang Xiu got off the horse early and led the horse forward.

Deng Zhan took two steps behind Zhang Xiu and said as he walked along: "as the Lord, who do you want to recruit? A letter is enough. Why do you have to go in person? We didn't give advance notice. In case Liuba isn't here, it's a vain trip. "

Zhang Xiu glared at Deng Zhan.

In a flash, Deng Zhan did not speak.

Zhang Xiu light way: "you don't speak, no one when you are dumb."

"Here it is

Deng Zhan smiles and stops talking.

After a while, they came to the gate of the courtyard, and Deng Zhan came forward and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

Not long ago, the voice of old people came out.

The door creaked open. An old man in his early fifties, wearing a black robe, with a faint smile on his face, looked at Zhang Xiu and Deng Zhan and asked, "who are you looking for?"

The old man is Liu BA's housekeeper and an old man of the Liu family. He served Liu BA's grandfather and father and now takes care of Liu ba.

Deng Zhan took the initiative to ask: "dare to ask my father-in-law, is Mr. Liu BA at home?"

"No!"

Answered the housekeeper, shaking his head.

When Zhang Xiu hears the speech, she immediately frowns, which really makes Deng Zhan's crow mouth right. Liu Ba is not at home. Zhang Xiu eyes light rotation, thought of a possibility in the heart.

Maybe Liuba is at home.

However, Liu Ba refused to accept foreign guests, so the unified reply was not available.

Zhang Xiu thought in her heart that Deng Zhan said the wrong thing as soon as she opened her mouth. When Deng Zhan comes to Liu BA's door, he shouldn't ask if Liu Ba is in. Instead, he should directly say that Zhang Xiu has come to visit Liu Ba and ask the housekeeper to inform him.

That's the right call.

Only Deng Zhan's carelessness caused the situation to freeze.

When the housekeeper says that Liu Ba is not here, even if Zhang Xiu is named again, it is impossible for the old man to eat his words and say that Liu Ba is here. This is tantamount to beating his face.

Zhang Xiu doesn't criticize Deng Zhan. He will leave only when he meets Liu ba. If you don't see Liu Ba, it's too bad to leave so disheartened.

Zhang Xiu took the initiative to say, "father-in-law, where has Mr. Liu Ba gone?"

The housekeeper shook his head and replied, "the whereabouts of the young master is not something that I can know. Please forgive me."

Zhang Xiu said again, "when will you be back?"

The housekeeper added: "I have said just now that I don't know the whereabouts of the young master. When you go out, I don't know where you are. So I don't know when you will come back. "

The housekeeper's answer is not leaking.

Zhang Xiu couldn't find the slightest flaw and couldn't start.

At the moment, Zhang Xiu's initiative to visit him is impossible. Looking at Liu BA's house, Zhang Xiu suddenly had a plan in mind and said, "Lao Zhang, please lend me a pen and paper. I'll leave a letter. Please give it to Mr. Liu ba

"Good!"

The housekeeper answered and turned to walk into the room.

He went through the hall of the yard and straight into the backyard. In the corner of the yard, under the pavilion, a handsome, sharp eyed middle-aged man in his early thirties was sitting upright, reading a book.

This man is Liu ba.

He is indeed at home.

Liu Ba lives in the bamboo sea. Although the place is remote, people often visit him. Liu BA was fed up with the endless stream of visitors. Except for his own good friends, there were no visitors, so the housekeeper refused all the visitors, saying that he was not at home.

The housekeeper said, "young master, someone is visiting again."

Liu Ba did not lift his head and said, "who?"The housekeeper was stunned, shook his head and said, "I didn't ask. He didn't say anything when he visited. The other party came to visit and only asked if you were in, so the old slave replied that he was not at home. He asked for a pen and paper, for a book

"Just give it to him!"

Liu BA was still reading a book and said with his head down.

There were too many people coming, he couldn't cope with it at all, and he didn't pay attention to Zhang Xiu's visit. After all, he didn't know Zhang Xiu was visiting.

The housekeeper took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and quickly went to the gate of the yard. After Zhang Xiu took it, he put pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the stone table in the yard and took out rice paper to lay it flat.

Zhang Xiu didn't plan to make a long speech.

For people like Liu Ba, it is better to have a short sentence than a long and wordy speech.

This is Zhang Xiu's plan.

Besides letters, the most important thing is his reputation. Zhang Xiu looked at the rice paper lying on the stone table. When she just picked up the pen, she thought about it and cut it out quickly.

Zhang Xiu was cut according to the size of couplet paper of later generations.

After the cutting, Zhang Xiu said, "I admire Mr. Liu BA's talent and learning. It's a pity that I didn't see him today. Mr. Zhang Xiu admired him for his talent and ambition. Zhang Xiu presents his ugliness and gives Mr. Zhang a pair of words. "

The housekeeper stood aside, silent. Liu and his housekeeper are not responsible for the rest of his life.

Zhang Xiu dipped her pen in ink and began to write.

When Deng Zhan saw the words written down, he began to read them.

"The sound of the wind, the sound of the rain, the sound of reading, the sound of hearing!"

"Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, care about everything!"

After Zhang Xiu finished writing, he dried the ink and handed the two pieces to the old man. He solemnly said, "I feel a little bit about this trip to the bamboo sea. Please give the letter to Mr. Liu ba. It's said that Zhang Xiu has visited."

The housekeeper said quietly, "when the young master comes back, I will give it to you as it is."

He still didn't disclose the news that Liu BA was at home.

Zhang Xiu said no more and left. If Liu Ba is at home and learns that Zhang Xiu is coming to visit him and sees this word again, maybe next time Zhang Xiu comes to visit, he won't hide again.

This is the intention of Zhang Xiu.

Make an impression first.

After Zhang Xiu left, the housekeeper took the words written down by Zhang Xiu and went straight back to the courtyard. He came to Liu Ba, put the couplet on the table, and solemnly said: "young master, this is left by Zhang Xiu. The person who came to visit just now claimed to be Zhang Xiu. "

"Zhang Xiu?"

Liu Ba raised her eyebrows and looked surprised.

Although Liu Ba lived in seclusion in the bamboo sea, he was not deaf to the outside world, but also concerned about the outside world.

Liu Ba is quite interested in Zhang Xiu.

A martial arts man from Xiliang is very powerful. He can write poems in seven steps and kill people in ten steps. In particular, Zhang Xiu not only established herself in Nanyang County, but also defeated Cao Cao's army.

This is extremely powerful.

The most important thing is that Zhang Xiu got the help of Pang family and Huang family. It's not easy to do this.

Liu Ba appreciates Zhang Xiu.

He put down the book, picked up a pair of couplets sent by the housekeeper and saw the word left by Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu's handwriting is not bad.

In particular, when Liu Ba saw the contents on the paper, his eyes were shining, as if he had seen the peerless treasure. Even the light in his eyes was more excited than seeing the naked woman.

Housekeeper way: "childe, this word is Zhang Xiu to send you."

"The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of hearing; family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, care about everything!"

"Well written, well written!"

"It's catchy to read, not to mention charming. This kind of symmetrical discourse is really unique. "

"Good words, good content, good!"

Liu BA's mouth was full of praise and his face was full of joy.

Housekeeper way: "but Zhang Xiu left."

Liu BA's eyes were full of joy, and he continued: "what are you afraid of when you leave? To lead my horse, I'll go after Zhang Xiu. If such a person leaves, I will regret my whole life. "

"Here it is

The housekeeper went to prepare immediately.

Liu Ba continued to look at the words left by Zhang Xiu and read them carefully. His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was drunk.

Wine can intoxicate, so can words.
