Chapter 24 Shocking Change
The enemy was none other than the man in blue, Li Lang, whom he met at Mei Ji on the night of the Lantern Festival a few days ago.

The difference is that this time he was alone, wearing a light blue winter robe, and had no guards around him, giving people a low-key feeling.

When Yang Chang saw that he had no help, he felt more confident.

"You can come, but I can't? Who do you care who I send it to? What's wrong with the farmer? What would you eat without the farmer?"

"baffling."

Li Lang's face turned red after being scolded, and he turned around and left the rouge shop.

Yang Chang ignored him and went forward to buy.

There were many customers in the rouge shop at that time, and Yang Chang was stunned when he squeezed to the front.

He didn't expect that there were also a dazzling number of cosmetics in ancient times, with dozens of kinds of rouge displayed on the shelves.

The shopkeeper and his employees are too busy to handle the situation. Customers have to pay according to their preferences first, and then go to the store to make payment and take the goods. They have no time to introduce the goods to the customers.

Yang Chang was a otaku in his previous life and knew nothing about cosmetics. He was at a loss in the rouge shop and couldn't make up his mind after looking for a long time.

"Hey, don't you know how to choose? Do you need help?"

"Huh? You didn't leave?"

Thinking that Wu Song had followed him, Yang Chang turned around and found that it was his enemy from before. He immediately frowned and stared at him, as if asking what he was planning.
Li Lang understood his expression, then smiled calmly and said, "You were so rude that night. When the young master asked you your name, you ran away without answering. If you tell me now, I will help you choose the one."

"Can you choose?"

"I hope you will be satisfied."

After hearing this, Yang Chang couldn't help but frown, thinking to himself, why did this guy ask my name? Is he planning to cause trouble for me?

"Hey, if you don't want me to, I'm leaving."

"Listen carefully, my surname is Bi and my given name is Duan."

"Bi Duan? Your friends call you Sanlang, so that means Bi Sanlang?"

"Yes, help me choose."

Yang Chang tried not to laugh after he finished speaking. This was actually his online name in later life, which was taken from the homonym of "扬壮偏短" (promote one's strengths and avoid one's weaknesses).

Li Lang had no doubts after hearing this, but he did not help him choose rouge immediately.

"Who is the rouge for? How old is he?"

"Is it over yet?"

Seeing that he continued to ask questions, Yang Chang's face changed and he became angry in an instant.

But Li Lang spread his hands and asked disapprovingly: "If you don't explain clearly, how can I help you choose the most suitable one?"

"Okay, buy it for my sister-in-law, she should be about 23 or 24 years old."

"now it's right."

After Li Lang finished speaking, he glanced at the shelves and immediately locked on the target for Yang Chang.

Yang Chang paid the money with some doubts. The shopkeeper even praised him for his good taste. But when he turned around, he found that the Dog-Headed Military Advisor had left and could not be seen on the street.

This boy is so handsome and so familiar with rouge and powder. Could he be the Jia Baoyu of this world, hanging out with women all day long?

In fact, she is a woman, and a personal maid of Princess Kangfu.

Yang Chang deliberately used a pseudonym at this time, and instead lost the opportunity to ascend to the sky.

"Sanlang, have you bought it? It's getting late, we should set off."

"Well, I've bought it, let's go."

Wu Song bought the gifts and found Yang Chang. The two of them carried their luggage and left the city, taking the same route they came from to Shandong.

They are young and have strong legs, so they no longer have to rest in the town on their return journey. They stop when it gets dark.

After traveling for twelve or thirteen days, they passed Puzhou and arrived at Zhukou Town, southwest of Yanggu.

Zhukou Town was about forty miles away from Yanggu County. Wu Song and Yang Chang had a drink at the inn at night, planning to reach home in one go the next day.

Wu Song woke up in the middle of the night.

I listened carefully and found that it was the sound of wind outside the house.

When I woke up the next day, the sky outside was dark and the snowflakes were as dense as raindrops.

Yanggu County is right in front of us, and we will leave even if it rains knives from the sky.

After having breakfast, Wu Song and Yang Chang set out on their journey home again.

Thinking of having a drink with Wu Da in the evening, the road was covered with heavy snow, and visibility was very poor, so the two of them almost fell into the ditch several times.

When it was almost dark, I still hadn't seen the county town.

"Brother, are we lost?" "No, I know where to go, but it's snowing and we can't walk fast."

"It's getting dark soon. We need to find a place to rest for the night and then go into the city tomorrow."

"Well, it snows too much today."

After Wu Song finished speaking, he held the brim of his hat with his hand and looked around to see if there was a village nearby where he could stay overnight. He vaguely saw a large black shadow in the east.

He pointed with his hand and reminded Yang Chang: "Sanlang, there seems to be a family over there, let's turn around and rush over there quickly."

“It seems so.”

With a goal, there is motivation. Yang Chang was originally exhausted, but now he has strength again.

The two men walked on the snow, leaving deep footprints with each step, and approached the dark shadow in the east.

"Brother, this looks like the dilapidated temple in the west of the city."

"It should be here. It seems that we have taken a detour. However, it is not far from Yanggu. We should be there by noon tomorrow. Go in quickly to collect firewood and make a fire. My feet are all frozen."

"Me too"

Conditions were limited in that era and shoes were not waterproof. After walking in the snow for a day, their shoes would have been soaked through. If the two men were not in good health, they would have frozen to death on the road.

The two men broke into the dilapidated temple in the wind and snow.

There was no light at this time, so we could only grope in the dark in the temple to find firewood to make a fire.

"Ouch."

"Slow down, keep your feet on the ground and don't trip."

"Brother, I think I kicked someone, but he didn't react at all. Could he be dead?"

"Dead? It doesn't smell right, don't be afraid."

Wu Song sniffed a few times but didn't smell any rotten smell. As he finished speaking, Yang Chang approached him.

It took them some time to find firewood and build a small fire, restoring light to the dilapidated temple.

"You roast the clothes first, I'll go see if it's a human or a ghost."

Wu Song pulled out a wooden stick from the fire and carefully headed towards Yang Chang's original location.

He took a few steps, then suddenly leaped forward, pounced on him like a tiger hunting, and shouted in panic, "Brother, is that you?"

"Big brother?"

When Yang Chang heard this, his heart tightened and he ran over behind Wu Song.

I squatted down and took a look. It was indeed Wu Da. His face was pale as a trace of blood.

"My brother is still breathing, but his breath is very weak and his body is very cold."

Wu Song then carried Wu Da to the fire to keep him warm. As Yang Chang rubbed his hands to keep him warm, he said to himself, "Brother, why didn't you stay in the county to sell buns? Why did you come to the ruined temple in the west of the city? And why didn't my sister-in-law come with you?"

When mentioning Pan Jinlian, Yang Chang suddenly had a bad feeling and stopped talking.

Wu Song stroked Wu Da's chest to calm him down. When he heard Pan Jinlian's words, his face darkened. He responded to Yang Chang, "As long as my brother wakes up, we will know everything. Brother, how are you? Wu Er is back!"

"Ah, it hurts."

Wu Da was originally lying in Wu Song's arms, but suddenly his body stiffened and he grabbed Wu Song's hand, then spat out a mouthful of pus and blood.

"elder brother!"

"Big brother!"

Seeing Wu Da's painful expression, Wu Song guessed that there was something wrong with the place his brother's hand was pressing, so he immediately pulled open his collar to check the situation.

In the light of the fire, there was a large area of ​​black swelling on Wu Da's chest.

"Was he beaten? I'm afraid all his bones are broken. Who dares to seriously injure my brother?"

"Are you Wuji?"

"It's me. Wu Er is here. Who killed my brother? Wu Er wants his life!"

"How dare you come back, you beast? Wu Zhi doesn't have a brother like you, put me down now, ugh"

When Wu Da struggled, he spat out blood again, and cursed Wu Song so hard that he was stunned.

Upon seeing this, Yang Chang hurriedly supported Wu Da and introduced himself, saying, "Brother, I am Sanlang. Why did you scold Second Brother just now? You two are brothers."

"Saburo?"

Wu Da saw Yang Chang's face clearly, and immediately grasped his hand tightly, saying in a weak voice: "Wu Er is not my brother, San Lang is my brother."

"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Are you brain damaged?"
