Chapter 136: The Jianghu with Meat Buns and Swords
Of all the things in the world, waiting for someone can be the most boring thing. But if the person you are waiting for is always in your heart, wherever your thoughts reach, it will be very interesting!
Just like the young woman who was sitting under the tree in a daze because of her thoughts, her delicate body trembled inexplicably when she suddenly heard that familiar voice, and then she forced herself to calm down.
"If you want escorts, just go find the steward at the front door. Why are you coming to me?"
Ergou had something in his heart that he wanted to commit himself to the girl for the rest of his life, but he stopped abruptly before he could say it. In the final analysis, it was the trip to the world that made him mature a lot, and he restrained a bit of his original libertine character.
.
When the words came to his lips, he changed his expression to a slightly more euphemistic one.
"Hey, it's a coincidence that no one else can take the escort this time. Only girls can afford to take the escort. After all, the escort I need to entrust is myself, so I can't be careless!"
As he spoke, the woman with a frosty face under the maple tree unexpectedly smiled.
"Some people say that they are careless, but in fact they just came here today. We don't know what they were doing earlier, but I guess he was also fascinated by those beautiful heroines in the world.
Round and round."
Jiang Ergou jumped down from the branch and landed in front of the girl. Looking at the girl's thin face, Ergou couldn't help but sigh. Who would have thought that the momentary difference promised at the beginning would mean that they would not see each other again for five or six years.
See!
The two people who had not seen each other for several years did not feel any awkwardness at this moment. Instead, they looked at each other like two old friends who often met each other.
"Who says it's not? Especially the heroine in front of me. Not only is she good at martial arts, but the key is her beauty. If anyone can marry her home, it will be a blessing accumulated over several lifetimes."
Ergou poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip in front of Qin Xuejian without any ceremony.
"Really, I've even thought about the name of the child. It depends on when the heroine is happy. Let's take the time to pay a visit. Originally, I was going to be entrusted with the girl for the rest of my life."
It is said that wine makes people timid, but I don’t know when even this tea had this effect. Ergou was a little embarrassed to say something at first, but now he had the courage to say it.
Qin Xuejian, who was sitting opposite Ergou, was neither angry nor shy after hearing this.
I'm angry because if these words had come from other people's mouths, I might have been whipped several times by now.
Shyness means that if other girls hear these dirty words that make people blush, they will definitely be a little embarrassed, but it is a pity that such women definitely do not include Qin Xuejian, who is known as the heroine.
"Looking at the look and tone in your eyes when you said this, it seems that this is not the first time you have said these words to other people's girls. If you didn't have three to five years of being shameless, you really wouldn't be able to practice this."
Looking at Jiang Ergou who had lost his youthful innocence and was holding a sword in his hand, Qin Xuejian said three words with a smile on his face.
"lecher!"
…
At the entrance of Baiwu Lane, each of Li Yao's group of boys held two jars of wine in their arms. At a rough glance, there were probably no less than twenty jars.
"Brother Li, Brother Li! You said that you are usually reluctant to drink the best rice wine, but today you emptied out the house of Huang Si's mother-in-law. Who is that person just now? You also introduce it to the brothers.
Let the brothers see it!"
"Have you seen something?"
Li Yao, who was holding two jars of wine himself, shook the wine in his arms, as if he wanted to hold him more firmly.
"Do you know why I owe this drink?"
Everyone looked puzzled and shook their heads together.
"Let me tell you, you have seen how fierce our elder brother and sister Qin are. They whip you whenever you disagree! Is there any of you here who has never been whipped?"
It seemed that someone had been whipped in secret again. Everyone trembled together, and then nodded together, indicating that they had been whipped before.
And when he said this, Li Yao's expression became even more arrogant,
I'm even more happy that I have made progress in my martial arts.
"The man just now, my brother Ergou, was a god who subdued Brother Qin and his sister alive. You don't know, but he had to eat Miss Qin's piece after being beaten many times.
Tough bones!”
After hearing Li Yao's explanation, everyone came back to their senses. They were surprised that the girl Qin Xuejian could be subdued. At the same time, they were also impressed by the guy who had only met once and whose name was not pleasant.
Dare to face the bleak life, the young hero named Ergou is really a warrior, eliminating harm from the world!
Back in the yard, after the initial bickering, Jiang Ergou and Jiang Ergou were finally able to calm down and talk.
Qin Xuejian told Ergou many interesting stories about the escort journey, especially the time when Qin Yi broke through to the third level, which he vividly recounted.
When they heard that Qin Yi chose to fight to the death in order to break through to the third level, even Ergou was sweating for him.
It seems that after they separated, not only Jiang Ergou's life was not so satisfactory, but also everyone who struggled in the world was in danger.
But thinking about it, there are only a few people who live in the world who will be happy in the end. For example, Wang Xuanlang and Wang Jianqing have their own helplessness, let alone others.
Ergou also told Qin Xuejian what happened along the way, and about Su Ruyu, the Prime Minister of the country, who was driven out of the capital by his father and traveled alone in the country.
It talked about the little girl Liu Tiequan who had a dream of being a heroine since she was a child, and also talked about the prince in the capital, the emperor, and the third prince who only loved eating, drinking and traveling around in his life.
However, Ergou is not stupid and knows that some things are not suitable to talk about right now. If he tells the story about a marriage in Jiangnan, he is afraid that he will be kicked out directly, so he deliberately treats the girl in Jiangnan
The brief mention did not arouse Qin Xuejian's suspicion.
In addition, he also talked about the Wenjian Sect he met on the way to Nantang. Ergou said that it was only at that time that he realized that his master was the top first-class master.
Then we talked about Wanfenglin, the ghost-hand medical sage from Yaolu and his apprentice Xu San, and finally the East China Sea!
At the beginning, they both laughed happily when they mentioned their sneaking around with Su Ruyu and their extravagant spending after arriving in the capital.
But the closer they got to the end of the story, the harder it was for the two of them to laugh.
"Er Gou, Senior Wang..."
Before Qin Xuejian could speak, Ergou interrupted her. He put the Bronze Bird Sword in his mind and looked at the sky, with a hint of sadness in his tone.
"That's him! He knows he can't win, but he still insists on fighting a contest that he is bound to lose. The key is that he can't run away even if he can't win, so it's not surprising that he will lose his life in the East China Sea in the end."
Ergou said it was easy, but Qin Xuejian knew that he was actually not feeling well in his heart.
But just when she wanted to comfort him, Qin Yi walked in and interrupted the conversation between the two. However, he did not come to them, but stood outside the yard and said.
"Okay, okay, I know you still have a lot to say! But come out and eat your food first and then talk about it, everyone is waiting!"
The two of them understood, got up and walked out of the yard together, and followed Qin Yi to the dining hall. It must be said that Qin Yi was absolutely attentive to Er Gou's arrival.
As long as it can be found in Maple Leaf City at this time, Qin Yi has brought everything that can be bought to the table. Various fine wines such as Huadiao, Zhuyeqing, Houerniang, etc. are also continuously placed under the table.
And when Ergou and Qin Xuejian walked into the house together, everyone was looking at them. At first, the old people knew what was going on, but the other newcomers sighed with emotion about this aunt.
Why did she change her temper today and actually allow someone to walk with her?
When Ergou had just sat down at the table, the drinking party had begun. Li Yao was the first to stand up and challenge Qin Yi. He even wanted to have three bowls with Ergou before talking about anything else.
After receiving the first three bowls from Li Yao, Ergou realized what a wrong decision it was.
There is an old saying that after drinking this one cup, there will be three more cups. When it comes to Ergou, it has been directly changed to after finishing these three bowls, there will be countless three bowls.
So in the end, the two dogs started to get confused before they could even eat a few mouthfuls of food.
Later, when he couldn't hold on anymore and he didn't want to lose face, Ergou relied on his deep internal strength to force part of the drink out of his body, and then he managed to resist falling down.
After Ergou relied on his deep internal strength to defeat almost everyone present, no one finally clamored to have a drinking contest with him. The drinking party ended with Qin Yi being carried back to the room.
Declare the end.
After everyone had dispersed, Ergou found a fairly clean wine jug, filled it with a jug of wine, and went to look for her in Qin Xuejian's yard.
She had always disliked noisy things and went back to the yard by herself after eating. Now she was sitting on the roof watching the moon.
Ergou, who was holding the wine bottle, tapped the ground with his toes, then gently landed on the tiles, and sat next to her.
"The last time we watched the moon together for the first time was when we were in Luochuan City. I still remember that you always couldn't stand me and wanted to beat me up!"
Ergou picked up the wine bottle and took a sip himself, then handed it to Qin Xuejian's eyes and shook it.
The latter hesitated for a while but still took the bottle and took a sip.
"Who makes you follow me like a hungry ghost every day? Let alone me, any other girl would have the heart to beat you to death. To put it into detail, you can live until
You are really lucky today!"
Seeing that she was willing to drink, Ergou did not continue to dwell on the issue, because he always remembered an agreement. He coughed twice, straightened his voice and said.
"Miss Qin, I wonder if you still remember the agreement between us! If we meet next time and I can get you drunk, you can tell me why you deliberately pretend to be cold every day.
"
"Am I drunk?"
Seeing Qin Xuejian's unwillingness to admit defeat, Ergou was about to jump down to find a drink, but she stopped him.
"Forget it, I'm afraid of you. Anyway, you will use your internal strength to force the drink out later. Does it matter whether you drink it or not?"
In response, Ergou nodded sheepishly, but he didn't say anything like not doing it in the future. It seemed that he was at peace with himself and would use this trick in the future.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. My parents died so early that it's hard to find them in my memory. I only remember that my brother has been by my side since I can remember.
."
Having said this, the red-eyed Qin Xuejian took another sip from the wine bottle.
"Speaking of which, the only lucky thing at that time was that my brother knew some martial arts, so it was not difficult to find some food for the two of us. But I learned one thing from that time, that is, I have to disguise myself at all times, because
If others see that we are easy to talk to, they will think that we are easy to bully, so from that time on I knew to make myself indifferent and unapproachable. Only in this way will no one bully you!"
After taking another sip of wine, Qin Xuejian seemed to have opened up the conversation, as if he wanted to tell all the pain and grievances he had felt over the past twenty years all at once.
The two of them talked like this from the first half of the night to the second half of the night. Qin Xuejian probably had never had the opportunity to talk like this before. She had some complaints that she couldn't say to him even though her brother was here.
From the past to the present, from the present to the future, Qin Xuejian suddenly asked Jiang Ergou where he was going next, whether to seek revenge on his enemies or to put aside his hatred and travel around the world to concentrate on practicing swordsmanship.
But in fact, Ergou has not thought clearly about most of these things in his own mind. However, regardless of whether he takes revenge or not, he will investigate clearly what happened back then. This is to give an explanation to his family and his deceased relatives.
After hesitating for a long time, Ergou still couldn't make up his mind, but in the end he looked eastward inexplicably.
"I've been to the south, but I haven't seen the grasslands in the east yet! Next, I want to go to Liaodong first. Maybe after walking through the whole world, I will know what to do next.
