Chapter Seventeen: Lovely Zhang Rui

  "Wen Yuan, where are you living now?" Chen Chu asked amidst the hustle and bustle.

  "My sister and I temporarily live in Wuyi Lane, south of the city."

  Chen Chu showed a bewildered expression, he had no concept of these street names in Luoyang City at all.

  "After finishing the wine, Wen Yuan took me home to take a look."

  Zhang Liao's face changed color and he hesitated for a moment.

  "What? Is Wen hiding a beautiful girl at home and doesn't want me to see her?" Chen Chu joked.

  Zhang Liao's face suddenly turned red, he was an honest man, although he knew that his elder brother was joking with him, but he was still embarrassed and hastily explained: "How could this be? I have vowed since childhood that 'if there is no day to stand out, I will not talk about marriage'! Beauty in my eyes is no different from a beggar!"

  Chen Chu stared at Zhang Liao in shock, feeling a mix of emotions: Could it be that Zhang Liao was still a figure like Huo Qubing.

  "Haha, Wen Yuan, don't be in a hurry! Big brother is just joking with you!", Chen Chu laughed.

  "Furthermore, Wen Yuan's ambition is indeed admirable, but don't let it ruin your life! If you meet a girl you like, be sure to tell big brother, and big brother will help arrange the marriage."

  Zhang Liao's face turned red as he nodded in agreement.

  After having enough wine and food, under Chen Chu's insistence, Wen Yuan brought Chen Chu to the south of the city, Wuyi Lane. Before coming, Chen Chu even bought some snacks.

  As soon as I walked into Wuyi Alley, a foul smell hit my nose. The narrow alley was filled with stagnant water, and on both sides were shanty-like huts that resembled refugee camps.

  Chen Chu couldn't help but feel a shock, he didn't expect that this prosperous Luoyang City would still have such a poor alley. Chen Chu only then understood why Zhang Liao had looked embarrassed when he said he was coming here earlier.

  "Wen Yuan, are you going to stay here?"

  Zhang Liao nodded and said, "My family was originally poor, and this year we spent all our savings on my little sister's illness. It's already very good to have a place to live like this."

  "Come on, take me to your home."

  Under Zhang Liao's lead, Chen Chuqiu stumbled and staggered to a rickety hut.

  Chen Chu was extremely surprised, could it be that there is still a master here?

  Just then, a clear voice came from inside the hut: "Big brother, is that you back?"

  "Little sister, big brother is back." Zhang Liao shouted towards the hut, then said to Chen Chu: "Big brother, please come in."

  As soon as he walked into the hut, a strong musty smell hit him in the face, and Chen Chu couldn't help but let out a loud sneeze.

  A bed was placed right at the entrance, with a patchwork curtain hanging beside it.

  "Big brother, little sister is inside." Zhang Liao pointed to the curtain. Chen Chu nodded and then the two of them lifted the curtain and went in.

  "Big brother, you're back." A pale-faced beautiful girl on the bed exclaimed excitedly while struggling to sit up.

  "Little sister, didn't I tell you not to move around?", Zhang Liao quickly walked to the bedside and helped the girl up, his face full of pain and concern.

  Supporting the young girl, Zhang Liao asked with concern: "Little sister, how are you feeling today?"

  "It's much better! My head isn't dizzy anymore! I wonder how long it'll take for me to fully recover?" The girl exclaimed excitedly.

  Seeing Xiao Mei's spirited appearance, Zhang Liao felt a sense of relief, his efforts had not been in vain.

  At this time, the girl noticed Chen Chu standing behind Zhang Liao and curiously asked: "Brother, who is this person?", The girl was very curious, in her memory, brother should not have any friends in Luoyang City.

  Zhang Liao suddenly remembered Chen Chu who had come with him.

  "Ru'er, this is Big Brother's sworn brother. Only with Big Brother's help can Big Brother cure Ru'er's illness."

  Chen Chu smiled slightly and walked forward, "Rui'er, I am your elder brother's elder brother, what should you call me?"

  She blinked her big eyes curiously and sized up the person in front of her, then said: "You are Big Brother's brother, of course, you are also my brother. But I don't think you look fierce at all!"

  Chen Chu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "So Nui'er, you say Wen Yuan is not formidable?"

  Zhang Rui rolled her eyes and said, "Of course big brother is awesome! In our place, big brother is the most awesome, even the big grey bear can't be his opponent!", Zhang Rui's small face was full of admiring expression.

  "Oh, where is your hometown, little sister?"

  "My brother and I have lived in Maiyi, Pingzhou since we were young."

  Binzhou Maiyi! Chen Chu was overjoyed, he had always been worried that this Zhang Liao was not the other Zhang Liao, and now he could finally confirm that this Zhang Liao was indeed the famous general Zhang Liao who shook the Three Kingdoms.

  "Ruier, these are some snacks that your big brother bought for you, do you like them?" Chen Chu handed over a large bag of snacks to Zhang Rui's hands.

  Zhang Rui's eyes lit up instantly, wanting to open it immediately, but feeling a bit embarrassed. Her gaze asked Zhang Liao beside her.

  Zhang Liao smiled and said: "If you want to eat, just eat, what's the point of looking at me?"
