The ninth day of the fifth month of the fifth year of Xuanhe.
It has been three days since I traveled to the Song Dynasty.
Zhang Shixun wandered around the streets, and when he saw it was getting late, he slowly walked towards the inn.
A dull thunder sounded. Looking up, I saw dark clouds rolling in. It was about to rain.
He quickened his pace and rushed to the Shiqianjiao store, but before he had gone far, heavy rain mixed with hail began to fall.
The hailstones were as big as pigeon eggs and hit his head painfully. Zhang Shixun saw a gatehouse in front of him, so he hurried over and hid inside with his head in his arms.
Just as he stood at the foot of the gate, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned around hurriedly, only to see a white figure standing behind him, leaning tightly against the gate.
In the light of lightning, he saw the white shadow holding his head, his face pale, and his eyes staring at him.
"ah……!"
A sharp scream rang out beside Zhang Shixun's ears. Its decibel level was as high as the thunder in the sky, causing his eardrum to ache slightly.
Zhang Shixun was startled by the shrill sound, but he immediately realized that the woman was probably also taking shelter from the rain.
When he hid in, he moved a lot, which probably scared her.
After the woman screamed, the stress state ended.
Although there were constant thunder and heavy rain, Zhang Shixun still heard the other party let out a long sigh.
"You gave me a fright," the woman said.
"You scared me - your scream was so loud that even ghosts and gods would be scared away by you." Zhang Shixun replied.
"I don't think you're a bad person." The woman defended herself.
Zhang Shixun laughed, "This is the capital, a peaceful and prosperous world. How can there be so many bad people?"
The woman shrank her neck and did not answer.
In the darkness, the two men looked straight ahead without any focus.
After a pause, the woman continued, "This is my home."
Zhang Shixun was amused. "Since it's your house, why don't you go into the courtyard?"
Standing outside her own house to avoid the rain, this woman must be mentally ill.
The woman paused for a moment before she hesitantly said, "I...I lost my key and can't get in."
Zhang Shixun almost laughed out loud.
Do all women in the world have the habit of losing things?
This reminded him of his middle school days when the girl next door often lost her keys, and he often climbed over the wall and jumped through the window to help her open the door.
The woman in white slowly moved towards the gate, trying to stay as far away from him as possible. If it weren't for the brick wall of the gatehouse, she would definitely be farther away.
Zhang Shixun thought dejectedly, I am not a tiger, why are you hiding?
On second thought, on a stormy night, a man and a woman alone in a dark doorway, no woman would feel safe. If the man is a pervert, the woman is doomed to be miserable.
In order to reassure the woman in white and to prove that he was not a pervert, Zhang Shixun took a step outside like a gentleman, trying to keep some distance from her.
However, the doorway was so small that if he moved a little further out, the rain would hit his body. Helplessly, Zhang Shixun had to retreat.
During this process, neither of them spoke.
The situation became awkward.
He wanted to strike up a conversation with the woman, but he racked his brains and couldn't think of what to say.
How do men approach women in movies?
Zhang Shixun thought for a long time but couldn't think of any suitable lines.
The rain was getting heavier, and the water on the road was getting more and more, gradually flooding up the steps.
He took another step back, muttering, "The water is coming up."
The woman behind him spoke in a low voice: "Lean back against the door. There's a step up here."
Zhang Shixun felt warm in his heart. This woman has a kind heart.
He hurriedly thanked him and leaned against the other side of the door panel.
Then, the two of them fell silent again.
Zhang Shixun secretly cursed himself as the biggest fool in the world. This kind of encounter between a man and a woman is something that can only be encountered by chance.
If it were any other man, he would definitely not let her go easily. He might start chatting with the woman enthusiastically in just a few words, and it is not impossible that the conversation would turn to other things.
Of course, he didn't think he was that bad, and he never thought of coaxing a girl to a place she shouldn't go as soon as they met.
Just as he was worrying about how to strike up a conversation, the woman in white spoke up: "Judging from your accent, you must be from out of town, right?"
Zhang Shixun was overjoyed, thinking that all he had to do was speak, and quickly replied, "Yes, from a very far place."
I was wondering why she called me "sir". Isn't this the right title between husband and wife?
"How far is far?"
"Well! It's about 10,000 to 20,000 miles away, and there's an ocean in between." Zhang Shixun talked nonsense. He couldn't say that he came from the time travel. No one would believe him even if he said it.
"Ten thousand or twenty thousand miles, that's so far."
"Yes, it took me two full years to get to Tokyo." Zhang Shixun lied smoothly.
"He's been gone for two years. Oh my God! It's so pitiful."
There is no way to respond to this. I can't just say, "I'm really pitiful, please pity me."
Zhang Shixun asked, "Are you the only one in your family?"
"Um!"
Zhang Shixun leaned over the door to look inside, then reached out to touch the lock and asked her, "How did you lose your key?"
"I don't know. I was in such a hurry, I probably lost it along the way."
In fact, entering the yard is not difficult at all. Zhang Shixun has several ways to help women get in.
This old-fashioned door lock was no problem for him at all. With his current physical strength, he could kick the door open with just a few kicks.
But this approach is not easy for most people to accept, let alone women.
If they encounter a violent man kicking the door, they might immediately turn into violent women.
