Chapter Fifteen Don't Leave Me Behind

  Chen Chu suddenly opened the door, just about to speak when he didn't notice that the shopkeeper was still knocking enthusiastically on the door. A fist came down and landed squarely on Chen Chu's forehead.

  "Ouch!"

  The shopkeeper was startled and then realized that the door had already been opened.

  "Oh dear customer! I'm so sorry! I didn't see you coming out!", the shop assistant hastily apologized, with a terrified look on his face.

  At this time, Chen Chu was even more depressed. First, a good spring dream was interrupted by this despicable guy, and now he was hit on the head by this guy again! Chen Chu couldn't help but think: Is this guy destined to be my nemesis?!

  "Alright, alright! What's going on?"

  "Oh, it's like that, Master Wei Er has already returned to the store, please go and have dinner with him." The shopkeeper said hastily.

  "Alright, I understand, you can go down first."

  "Yes, yes, I'll take my leave." The shopkeeper's eyes flickered strangely as he glanced at Chen Chu before hurrying away.

  Chen Chu rubbed his forehead and turned back to close the door, unintentionally glancing down and was startled. It turned out that at this moment, Chen Chu's crotch was bulging with a high tent, inside which seemed to be stuffed with a stick.

  Chen Chu suddenly thought of the strange gaze of the shopkeeper earlier, and without saying a word, he must have been intimidated by his own majestic appearance. He couldn't help but recall the beautiful scenery in his previous dream, and Chen Chu let out a regretful sigh.

  Chen Chu is indeed pitiful, although he has the capital to look down on his peers, but at twenty-something, he is still a virgin. It's really "a precious sword with a deep sheath, when will it stir up the wind and clouds"?

  Chen Chu lingered in her room for half a day before going out, no choice, if she went out with that tent on her head, she would probably scare a group of people to death.

  When Chen Chu arrived at Wei Du's room, Wei Du had already been waiting for a while.

  "Little brother, how come you're so late!", Wei Du was obviously not pleased, which is understandable, someone like Chen Chu who drags things out is extremely rude.

  "Haha, little brother just felt like his stomach was being cut with a knife and had been squatting in the toilet for a long time before coming out. Please don't mind, older brother!" Chen Chu hastily made up an excuse to cover it up, he didn't dare to say the real reason.

  Weidu's expression suddenly cleared up, after all, people have three urgencies, and the other party was not intentionally giving him a hard time. Immediately afterwards, Weidu's expression became somewhat sorrowful again, because based on Chen Chu's words, he associated with things that shouldn't be thought about during meals.

  Inside Weidu's room, there was only a small table with a sumptuous feast laid out on it.

  "Come on, little brother, sit down quickly." Wei Du warmly greeted him.

  After three rounds of wine, Wei Du asked: "Younger brother, have you finished what you wanted to do?"

  Chen Chu nodded, "It's done. I donated a county order, brother, can you guess which county this order is from?", Chen Chu looked at Wei Du with some excitement.

  Oh? Wei Du was led out of interest and immediately began to ponder.

  A moment later, Wei Du raised his head and said in a somewhat uncertain tone: "Younger brother, could it be that you have become the magistrate of Le Ping County?"

  Chen Chu was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned to Wei Du and gave him a thumbs up: "Old brother, you're really something! You were able to guess this!"

  Wei Du waved his hand and said, "Luckily, luckily."

  "Little brother, you are now the most respected one in the county. Big brother here is toasting a cup to you." Wei Du raised his hands holding the wine cup and toasted Chen Chu.

  "I don't dare, I'll drink first as a sign of respect." Chen Chu raised his head and drank the wine in his cup.

  Wei Du's eyes lit up, "Good! Big brother was right about you!", and then he also raised his head.

  The two of them clinked their cups together and burst out laughing at the same time.

  The atmosphere afterwards was very harmonious, with the two chatting casually and clinking glasses from time to time.

  "Little brother, are you planning to return to Leiping County immediately to take office?" Wei Du asked.

  Chen Chu nodded, "Mmm, little brother is thinking of doing it this way."

  Wei Du thought for a moment and said: "Younger brother, now the world is in chaos, bandits are rising everywhere, it's not suitable for you to travel alone."

  "Alone on the road?" Chen Chu was taken aback, and then asked in surprise: "Brother, what do you mean by this? Don't you plan to return to Le Ping County?"

  "Wei Du nodded, 'Brother will still be in the capital for a few more days, after handling some things, he also needs to escort some goods to the south. By the time everything is done and returns to Le Ping, it's probably going to be May.'"

  Chen Chu was shocked by what he heard. His time was very tight! There was less than a year to prepare, and not a single day could be delayed!

  "What's going on? Big brother, you have to think of a way for me!" Chen Chu's tone was extremely anxious.

  "Hey little brother, don't worry, let me think for a moment." Wei Du thought for a while and suddenly slapped his thigh, "I've got it! Little brother, in about half a month's time, there will be a large merchant transporting cloth to the north and purchasing fur goods, etc., which will pass through Leiping County. You can follow them back."

  "Older brother, can't it be a bit earlier?", Chen Chu asked with a glimmer of hope despite knowing the chances were slim.

  Wei Du shook his head apologetically, "Younger brother, this is already the fastest way."

  Having no other choice, Chen Chu had to accept reality.

  "Alright then. Big brother, I'd like you to introduce me to that wealthy merchant you mentioned."

  "No problem, I'll take my little brother there in a moment."
