Chapter 48 I am a good person

  "Huh!" Li Chao came back to his senses and saw that Zhao Fei and his son had already walked far away, he couldn't help but glare fiercely at their backs.

  The city was still bustling with noise, all kinds of shouting filling the entire street. Looking at the crisscrossing streets, Zhao Fei couldn't help but feel a little dizzy and worried. "Dad, do you still remember where Zhang's wine shop is?" Zhao Fei asked, turning his head to ask Zhao Hu. Obviously, Zhao Fei was already lost in the city. But then again, with Zhao Fei's navigation skills, he couldn't even find his way back home by walking straight, how could he possibly recognize the location of Zhang's wine shop with all its twists and turns?

  Zhao Hu looked down four times and then said to Zhao Fei: "I can probably remember some of it, there shouldn't be a problem."

  "That's good." Zhao Fei nodded and said. Since his father knew, he would just follow behind him, Zhao Fei was very satisfied with that. He carefully began to observe the surroundings. Last time they entered the city, because of Zhang Xue's relationship, Zhao Fei had been in a daze all the way to the Zhang family wine workshop, and didn't have the mood to carefully observe Zhengding City, this time he made up for it.

  As for how big the city of Zhending is, in Zhao Fei's own opinion, it's not that big. In the 21st century, this isn't even as large as a relatively well-developed town, but in the current late Han era, it's not small either. As the capital of Changshan Commandery, Zhending City wouldn't have a low status. The roads are lined with wine shops, inns, and stores, just like any other place. Looking at the ancient buildings, Zhao Fei felt an indescribable sense of calmness.

  As Zhao Fei was carefully admiring the city of over 1,800 years, a unique building in front caught his eye. Other shops and taverns were ordinary decorations that looked very common, but this one was different, looking quite beautiful, of course, this beauty was relative to other buildings. Anyway, such architecture for someone from the 21st century, except for some ancient charm, really didn't have anything special. However, compared to the surrounding buildings, the building in front had more colors.

  Can't determine what that building is used for, Zhao Fei fully demonstrated the spirit of asking when he didn't understand. Pointing at the building in front, he turned his head and asked Zhao Hu: "Dad, what's that building in front? It looks so beautiful."

  After hearing Zhao Fei's words, Zhao Hu looked in the direction he pointed and found that the building in front of him had changed his expression. "Nothing, just a child asking what's going on." The tone was full of accusation.

  Zhao Fei's expression changed slightly as he stopped accusing Zhao Hu. The child wasn't allowed to ask, so... As he thought about it, Zhao Fei's face turned red and his expression became awkward. He hadn't expected it to be that place, what a blunder. No wonder Father had looked so embarrassed too. Zhao Fei sighed and shook his head, not daring to investigate further. He could only follow behind Zhao Hu in silence, looking dejected.

  During the trip to the winery, Zhao Hu's gaze at Zhao Fei underwent a noticeable change, filled with worry and excitement, altogether very conflicted. Zhao Fei also sensed Zhao Hu's gaze and didn't know what to say, his eyes darting about like a child who had done something wrong. Looking at Zhao Hu's ever-changing expression, he could only silently exclaim in his heart: "I'm a good person, it was unintentional. It doesn't even have a name, how would I know?"

  After this interlude, the rest of the journey was dull and uninteresting. Zhao Fei no longer had any interest in looking at his surroundings, and could only follow Zhao Hu with his head down. Following Zhao Hu's twists and turns, Zhao Fei once again felt a sense of disorientation, completely unaware of where he was. Feeling that his legs were a bit sore, Zhao Fei asked Zhao Hu, "Dad, we've been walking for so long, have we arrived yet?"

  After listening to Zhao Fei's words, Zhao Hu looked around and said with great disappointment: "It seems that we are lost." He looked at Zhao Hu helplessly and started to look around. But unfortunately, Zhao Fei had no impression of the place at all. He wanted to go ask someone for directions, but found that there was not a single person around. He thought about going to knock on a door to ask, just as he was walking towards a house, a slightly chubby figure emerged from the intersection. Zhao Fei hastily stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the person, who was none other than Zhang Bao.

  Zhang Bao seemed to have not seen Zhao Fei and his son, but instead turned around and walked in another direction. Seeing Zhang Bao was about to leave, Zhao Fei hastily ran forward and shouted at Zhang Bao: "Master Zhang!"

  Zhang Bao was not in a good mood today. Zhao Fei, who was supposed to come and work, had yet to appear. Zhang Bao felt somewhat deceived. With his bad mood, Zhang Bao handed over the management of the wine workshop to his partner and decided to go out for a walk. Not far from where he started, he heard someone calling him, with a slightly childish tone. He turned around quickly and found that it was indeed Zhao Fei waving at him. He hastily walked towards Zhao Fei.

  "What are you doing here, Little Fei?" Zhang Bao's expression was very good as he quickly walked towards Zhao Fei and his father. He still thought highly of Zhao Fei; if he really let Zhao Fei gain some experience for a few years, the wine shop's business would definitely flourish.

  "This... " Zhao Fei hesitated for a moment, thinking that getting lost wasn't anything to be ashamed of, so he smiled and said to Zhang Bao: "It's my second time entering the city, plus True Martial City is so big, so I'm a bit lost. My dad and I have been circling around for half a day now, if not for my good eyesight, we wouldn't have recognized you from afar, and my dad and I really wouldn't know what to do."

  "Haha, so that's how it is." Zhang Bao looked at Zhao Fei and Zhao Hu, but didn't notice any signs of lying, then nodded his head in satisfaction. "This was indeed my oversight, I actually forgot this point, and almost thought you guys weren't coming."

  "How could I, the shopkeeper, go back on my word? I've already agreed to it, how could I possibly break my promise?" It's worth noting that ancient people placed great importance on keeping one's word, and if Zhao Fei were to be considered untrustworthy by Zhang Bao, things would not end well for him. Therefore, Zhao Fei hastily explained himself.

  "It's all because of me, I forgot the location of your wine workshop, it's all my fault." Zhao Hu also hurriedly spoke up for Zhao Fei.

  "Brother, no need to say more. How could I not believe you?" Zhang Bao stopped Zhao Hu from continuing to speak, "Since we've met, it's proof that Little Fei should work in my winery, this is fate. Hehehe." Zhang Bao became more and more delighted as he spoke, even laughing at the end. "Alright, let's go, I'll take you there." As he led the way, Zhao Fei and his father followed behind him. The group chatted and laughed, but before they'd taken many steps, they heard Zhao Fei's stomach growling loudly.

  Zhang Bao looked at Zhao Fei with an unusual expression, while Zhao Fei was smiling foolishly at Zhang Bao. "You guys haven't eaten yet?"

  Zhao Fei rubbed the back of his head and smiled foolishly: "This isn't looking for you in a hurry, so I haven't... heh heh."

  Zhang Bao felt a bit moved and also somewhat ashamed. "What an honest father-son pair, I actually suspected them, it's really not right." Zhang Bao gritted his teeth, then said to Zhao Fei and his son: "Since that's the case, let's go eat something first. I'll treat you."

  Upon hearing Zhang Bao say that, Zhao Hu hastily said: "How can that be? How could we let the shopkeeper treat us to a meal, it's not proper at all."

  "What's the big deal, it's nothing, old brother." Zhang Bo pulled Zhao Hu's hand and walked forward. Zhao Fei followed behind Zhang Bo with a nonchalant expression, as the saying goes, "not taking advantage of a good opportunity is foolish".
