Maybe it was because he drank too much, or he completed the escort mission, or both. In short, when Guo Jiaqi got up from his bed, he was already ready for lunch.
With a dry mouth, he drank a large pot of tea and felt much better. When he opened the door, the dazzling sunlight made it difficult to open his eyes.
"Are you up?"
A voice rang in Guo Jiaqi's ears. He squinted and saw that it was Qu Buping who was going to become his brother-in-law. He was also the brother Bu Ping who taught him how to read when he was a child. But what he said in the lobby yesterday made Guo Jiaqi hate him.
Got some opinions.
"What?" Guo Jiaqi's tone was not very good.
"Your sister asked me to call you. We've already prepared dinner. Your sister also asked me to see if you were drunk in bed." Of course, Qu Buping could see his sullen expression, but he still said warmly.
"He's not dead, so he's not like you. You don't need to fight or drink. You can just keep guarding those tattered books."
Qu Buping laughed off Guo Jiaqi's sarcasm. After all, we were all a family, but he still felt a little blocked in his heart, but he did feel a little unjust.
"My dad and the others are all up?" Seeing his embarrassed look, Guo Jiaqi didn't act aggressively. It was like brothers quarreling, how could they fight to the death? Besides, if his sister knew that he was so disrespectful, he wouldn't take it personally.
There is no good fruit.
"Everyone is up, but you are the last one."
"Where's Brother Chen?"
"He got up at dawn. You were all drunk last night. Only Mr. Chen could walk back by himself. You were all unconscious."
After Guo Jiaqi got dressed, the two of them walked to the front hall together.
"I didn't do anything embarrassing last night, right?" Guo Jiaqi thought about what happened last night as he walked, but he couldn't remember many things.
"I don't know much about this, but when I heard the two uncles chatting just now, I said that you challenged Mr. Chen yesterday."
"Ha?!" Guo Jiaqi was stunned.
Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible. Guo Jiaqi kept thinking silently in his heart.
"Don't be stunned, everyone is waiting for you." Qu Buping glanced at Guo Buping, who was a little dull.
"No, I suddenly have a stomachache. You go first and I'll come back later. Oh, it might be very late. You don't have to wait for me for dinner or anything." After saying that, Guo Jiaqi ran away quickly.
"I'm so embarrassed, I'm so embarrassed, I shouldn't drink the wine handed over by the old man." Guo Jiaqi muttered to himself as he ran away. He only remembered drinking the wine that the old man poured over him, and basically didn't remember it after that.
.
Looking at Guo Jiaqi who was running away, Qu Buping smiled lightly.
In Chen Mo's residence, there were only two people, Chen Mo and Yan Yu.
Chen Mo returned to his room after breakfast. He was not good at communicating and started practicing alone after Guo Jiayue left. Only practicing was his life.
Even if he came to this county, it was just a coincidence. Even if he didn't meet the escort team, he promised the little girl to take her to see what the inside of the city wall was like.
"Chen Mo, I don't blame you for this."
In the room, after changing medicine and eating, Xiao Yanyu felt much more energetic. Looking at Chen Mo sitting cross-legged on the ground beside the bed, she suddenly spoke.
"This is not a question of who is right or wrong. If you follow me, this is what will happen."
Chen Mo didn't open his eyes, just like when he was wandering.
"Even if it didn't happen that day, it will happen in the future. It's really dangerous out there."
"So, I'm just a burden, right?" Xiao Yanyu said sadly. "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to worry about the life and death of that brother and uncles and just leave there alone, right?"
Chen Mo said nothing.
"Chen Mo, I hate you." After Xiao Yanyu said this, he didn't want to talk to him and turned his head away.
Chen Mo was immersed in his practice again, and the confused Qi in his body was still looking for something that he didn't know but wanted to find.
According to what the master who couldn't remember his face said, he would be able to reach the next threshold when he was thick-skinned and thick-skinned enough. In order to become thick-skinned and thick-skinned as he said at that time, he had been constantly training himself in the past few years.
, when he was in the border army, he was the first to do the most dangerous and tiring things. At that time, people thought he was crazy and just a guy who wanted to die. But this guy would never die and would always be there.
Recovered. Not only that, Chen Mo also continued to make it more difficult for himself, such as the armor he had modified.
Logically speaking, a soldier like him who is not afraid of death will definitely be reused. However, in the eyes of others, Chen Mo doesn't like to say that he doesn't even have friends. He is brave, but it is hard to say that he is fierce. Almost anyone can do it.
No one can beat him, but no one can kill him. He is worse than a tortoise, so he can only be a small soldier who charges into battle, but he cannot be a general, not even a small corps commander.
It was in such an environment that Chen Mo developed such physical strength and courage. As for his killing ability, of course he was trained on the battlefield. Otherwise, would he really be the kind of weakling who can't be killed? But no one has seen him take action.
Or everyone who saw it died.
Time passed as the energy in Chen Mo's body continued to circulate and disappear.
Guo Jiayue knocked on Chen Mo's door because she was ready to have lunch.
Chen Mo retreated from the practice, looked at Xiao Yanyu who turned his head on the bed and still ignored him, and said, "I'll bring you something to eat later."
"If you're not hungry, don't eat."
Chen Mo didn't pay attention to her tantrums, walked out of the house, and went to the hall with Guo Jiayue.
The hall was a little lively, and several people from the Guo family were chatting about interesting things, probably talking about their embarrassing state after drinking last night. When they saw Chen Mo being led by Guo Jiayue, they quickly asked him to sit down, drink a cup of tea first, and wait for a while.
Then you can start eating.
When Guo Jiayue saw that her younger brother didn't show up, she asked Qu Buping to shout.
"Brother Chen, I never thought that he could drink so much at such a young age." Guo Shengwen laughed.
"Not only do we have a good drinking capacity, we are also very capable. It seems that we are really old and we cannot accept old age anymore." Guo Shengwu echoed on the side.
Chen Mo just drank tea without being too moved. It wasn't that he despised these polite words, but that was just his temperament. Their polite words didn't seem to be addressed to Chen Mo.
The Guo family had also seen Chen Mo's appearance last night. Of course they would not think that Chen Mo was just pretending, but that it was due to his temperament.
"By the way, Brother Chen, what are your plans next?" Guo Shengwen asked.
"Let's wait until her injury gets better."
"That's natural. Your sister's injury is serious. During this period, you two brothers and sisters will live with us. My niece also has some medical skills. Usually, when people in the escort agency are sick and injured, it's my niece who treats them.
." Guo Shengwu pointed to his niece.
If Guo Jiayue was said like this, she would not feel anything bad at ordinary times, but after seeing Chen Mo's treatment methods, she felt a little embarrassed when she was said like this again.
"Uncle, Mr. Chen's medical skills are better than those of my niece. My niece also learned a lot from Mr. Chen." Guo Jiayue explained that she really admired Chen Mo's medical skills.
"Oh, it seems we have made a mistake. Brother Chen is not only very capable, but also quite capable." Guo Shengwen said in surprise.
"That's all there is to it." Chen Mo answered truthfully.
Although people outside should remain more or less secretive, Chen Mo estimated that even if they said this, they would not believe these two things.
"Brother Chen is so humble."
After that, several people in the hall started talking about other things. Basically, they were talking and Chen Mo was listening. They did not treat Chen Mo as an outsider and discussed the affairs of the escort agency in front of Chen Mo.
Not long after, it was lunch time.
The size of the lunch was not as grand as last night. It was just the Guo family's table last night. Everyone else had their own place to eat. A gathering like last night was only held together to eat and drink during festivals or important events.
The only one who was serving the meal was Guo Jiaqi, who did not come because he had a stomachache. Everyone sitting here knew that this boy challenged Chen Mo last night because he had no idea what the heaven and earth were.
"Brother Chen, I won't drink so much today, just a small bowl. It's not that our old Guo family has a few jars of wine, but it's because we are afraid that if we get drunk again, no one will handle the affairs of the escort agency." Guo Shengwen poured the wine.
While talking.
"It doesn't matter."
Chen Mo is not a drinker. He drank so much last night because he hadn't drank for a long time and had never tasted good wine.
In the harmonious atmosphere, Chen Mo had another good meal.
At the dinner table, Guo Shengwen also said to Chen Mo: "Brother Chen, if you are not in a hurry to leave Xiayang City, you might as well stay a few more days. The tenth day of next month will be the wedding day of my little daughter. Then we will have a good time drinking.
For one thing, I really hope Brother Chen stays."
At the dinner table, Chen Mo neither agreed nor refused.
After lunch, because the Guo family still had things to deal with, they dispersed after the meal.
Chen Mo carried Xiao Yanyu's lunch box and, accompanied by Guo Jiayue and Qu Buping, returned to his residence. At the door, Guo Jiayue warmly invited Chen Mo again: "Mr. Chen, Brother Buping and I both hope you can stay and drink with us.
Wedding wine."
"Yes, Mr. Chen, I will definitely accompany Mr. Chen to get drunk and then rest." Qu Buping was also helping his beloved woman to keep Chen Mo.
"Actually, I also want to ask for some advice on medical skills. Is it convenient?"
Chen Mo was thinking about it, and then Xiao Yanyu's voice came from inside the room: "Okay, okay, Chen Mo promised to take me to see Xia Yangcheng. I won't be able to leave for a while."
"Then please Mr. Chen, please spend more time playing."
After Chen Mo returned to the room, he looked at Xiao Yanyu who still didn't turn his head to look at him, and said, "Would you like to eat?"
