At dusk the next day, the scorching sun in the sunny day quietly receded, leaving only the remnants of the red road in the sky, reflecting the ancient road of a city quite wide.

It was time for the families to clean up dinner, Jiang Ming asked the director girl to resign, and walked out of the inn with Shen Yiwu and the veiled butterfly, the reason for them was that they had made an appointment with a doctor who could heal the knife wound, but the real reason was that they would have a few friends who should know each other.

"Sister Yi Wei, you say I'm like this, will Brother Luohu hate me when he sees it?" Butterfly covered the unhealed wound on her cheek with one hand, frowned on two bunches of willow leaves, and bent her eyebrows, melancholy and unsettling, and even her tone was quite weak.

Shen Yi Yusu rolled up a strand of Butterfly's long hair with his hand, paused, and said with relief: "Don't worry, if he dares to do that, I will break his leg." ”

Die's face changed suddenly when he heard this, he stood still, and said worriedly: "Then forget it, I won't go to see him, I'm like this, why bother Brother Luohu anymore?

"Silly girl!" Shen Yi secretly blamed Butterfly for being too kind, such a character is always more vulnerable to harm in life and relationships, and Butterfly's godfather and godmother are also in Butterfly's tolerance, and twice offended the goodness of human nature.

But is this wrong? Some people are born like this, how can anyone change them with a word? All Shen Yiwei can do is to try to make her believe that there is still someone in this world who will desperately protect her.

Cross box, a popular restaurant in the city, when Jiang Ming and the three of them came here, there was already a small servant waiting for the reception, and after asking about the identity, he took the three of them into a box near the window and the lake, and there were already people waiting in the box.

The parting is only a few days, but in the eyes of the butterfly, it seems to be separated by centuries, and the butterfly has experienced a lot in just a few days, and many unspeakable pains are pressed in the heart.

"Butterfly, I've finally seen you. ”

"Brother Luohu, I've been waiting for you so hard!"

When the two met, the son choked up, stared at the head, the beauty was in his arms, and the beautiful eyes were looking forward to it.

The two were intense, quiet, affectionate, and hugged each other for a long time, as if they had forgotten that there were still several eyes around them.

"Ahem, you two are almost all right!" Lin Han was dressed in a white shirt, standing behind the two of them, and said embarrassedly.

At this time, Die reacted, hurriedly escaped from Luo Hu's embrace, lowered his eyebrows in shame, and hid behind Luo Hu half-sideways.

Luo Hu was not embarrassed, turned his head and said warmly: "I'll tell someone for a while." He stroked his big hand over the side of the butterfly's face, and suddenly his heart ached like a pinprick, and he stopped talking.

Butterfly nodded, she never contradicted his advice.

Jiang Ming smiled, like Lin Han, he took a step forward, stretched out his hand and grasped it together, and in this simple etiquette, it was common to smile when they met.

Jiang Ming let go of his hand, walked up to Luo Hu with a guilty face, bowed down and said: "I didn't do a good job of the entrustment you gave me, it was my mistake that caused that incident to happen, if you are angry in your heart, vent it at me!"

"Jiang Ming!" Shen Yi snorted lightly, she didn't want him to take this responsibility, because the consequences of this matter were too important for Luo Hu, and she was not sure whether Luo Hu would take action because of this.

"Brother Luohu, it's no wonder that Jiang Ming Gongzi is in this matter, if it weren't for Gongzi and his sister to help me all the way, I wouldn't be able to go to Jiaozhi. Butterfly grabbed the corner of Luohu's clothes, pitiful.

"Luohu! This matter can be discussed in the long run. Lin Han also grabbed Luo Hu's shoulder, not to stop, but to persuade.

Butterfly and Lin Han spoke at the same time, as if to stop Luo Hu's emotional impulse, but Luo Hu's eyes narrowed slightly, sighed lightly, and lowered his arrogant head: "Do you really think you can make a move?

He said: "I probably understand everything, and the reason is not to blame you, but I should thank you, and Butterfly will follow me in the future, and I will not go anywhere." After this time, I will slaughter the beast myself. ”

Jiang Ming paused and said, "If you are involved now and can't do it, I can go in person." ”

Luo Hu said: "No need, this matter must be done by me." Those who insult others will always be humiliated. ”

Everyone was silent, this was already an unsolvable grievance, and it had to be resolved by Luo Hu himself.

"Butterfly, come and meet my two brothers, Lin Han and Chu Hong. Luo Hu did not have a gap because of the destruction of the butterfly's appearance, and turned around by stroking the butterfly's hand, which was already showing his attitude.

Die bowed slightly and said, "The little woman has seen two sons!"

Chu Hong, who was thin and honest, stepped forward and said with a smile: "You don't need to salute, in the future, you and Luohu will become relatives, and we will all be close relatives." Lin Han also smiled and nodded, indicating that he agreed.

Jiang Ming looked at Chu Hong with his eyes, and suddenly thought: This is the person Lin Han is looking for to save the Muzhi grass?

He didn't blame anything for the slackness at first sight, he only chewed on the word "kissing" in Chu Hong's words repeatedly, and couldn't help but think of what Lin Han said in Shannan, the ageless peak, "I was born an orphan and met a few brothers who are as affectionate as the sea", which is meaningful.

But seeing Chu Hong come forward, he interrupted Jiang Ming's distraction and said, "Brother Jiang, I am fortunate that you helped to obtain the Decyl Wood Zhi Grass, otherwise my leg would really be useless." Bow down to me. ”

Jiang Ming hurriedly stopped and said, "No need to do this, I didn't make much effort, let's just have a glass of wine, and the salute can be waived." ”

"Hey, Jiang Ming, this is his heart, several of them want to thank you like this, if it weren't for me not being able to wipe off my face, I should also thank you for your help that day. Lin Han sneered.

Although Lin Han was joking, Jiang Ming knew the seriousness of his words, they were like real brothers, laughing at each other and caring for each other, this was the friendship that Jiang Ming hoped for, deeper and purer than the friendship between him and Zhong Hai and Xiao Gao.

Chu Hong solemnly bowed and thanked him, and suddenly changed his smiling face, and said: "Lin Han has been talking about you a lot, and my ears are calloused, you won't really have something in private like Lao Jin said!"

Jiang Ming and Lin Han were quite embarrassed, Luo Hu, Chu Hong, and Shen Yi all laughed, they naturally understood what they meant, and only Die was suspicious, and their minds were inevitably simpler.

Lin Han shook his head helplessly, and when he saw Shen Yiwu, who was smiling and trembling, he suddenly seemed to see a savior, and hurriedly said, "Jiang Ming, you also brought a friend, why don't you introduce us to you?"

Chu Hong also cast his eyes at this time, and looked at the woman in front of him carefully, he could naturally guess the relationship between the woman and Jiang Ming at a glance, but he still couldn't help but be surprised by the woman's stunning appearance.

Just waiting for Jiang Ming or Die to introduce him, Shen Yiwu took a step forward, put his arms on his chest, coughed lightly, and sneered: "Little white face, have you forgotten me so soon?"

Lin Han looked at it carefully, and always felt that Shen Yiwu was quite familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, and he could call him a little white face, but ordinary people really didn't dare to call him that.

He was even more puzzled in his heart, Shen Yi's face slowly coincided with the figure in his mind, although there were many differences in details, but the general outline was the same.

"Shen Yu?"

Lin Han looked at Shen Yi in disbelief, and then at Jiang Ming, who was smiling strangely, and took a few steps back in a faux puff, crying and laughing: "What...... Ah, I'm so drunk and blind!"

Shen Yi took a sip lightly, and said angrily: "It's really the same ugly as him!"

Luo Hu, Chu Hong and Die didn't know the story, and noticed that Lin Han had a ghostly expression, and was about to ask the reason, but saw Jiang Ming snickering secretly, and Shen Yi stared at Lin Han directly, swallowing the words of several people's inquiries.

Shen Yi said worriedly: "You looked down on me at the beginning, little white face, if you don't punish yourself today, I won't agree." ”

Lin Han smiled bitterly, wanting to save Yu Jiang Ming, but found that the guy who had done something terrible was hiding behind Shen Yi and gloating, patted his forehead with a complicated mind, and said, "Miss Shen, it's all to blame for my rudeness." ”

Lin Han raised his glass and drank it all up to the sky.

When the old people meet, it is natural to greet and drink, and the only strong drunk can not be disappointed. The six of them sat around, clinking glasses, the butterflies did not smell of wine, and she was also happy to sit next to Luohu, only smiling and not interjecting.

The other woman at the wine table had a completely opposite attitude, she drank as much as the others drank, and Butterfly persuaded her several times, but Shen Yiwu just poured wine into her abdomen like drinking white water, and the drinking seemed to be tasteless.

Chu Hong leaned close to Lin Han and whispered in his ear: "Since you came back from Cambrian Pass, have you never said that you know such a strange woman, not only beautiful in appearance, but also extremely good at drinking?"

Lin Han smiled bitterly, raised his hand to cover his face, as if he was afraid of Shen Yi's worried gaze, and whispered, "I don't know either...... Anyway, I'm stupid. ”

Jiang Ming didn't worry about how much Shen Yi drank at all, he knew very well that her amount of alcohol was not inferior to himself, if he thought she was just a woman, it would be easy to suffer in the wine game.

Luo Hu was originally a booze, but seeing that Shen Yiwu didn't see any other places to drink and have fun, his heart was also very hearty, so he said: "I didn't expect Miss Shen to be such a good drinker, and to have such a beautiful woman by her side, Brother Jiang Ming is blessed." ”

Jiang Ming glanced at Shen Yi, who was blushing but arguing, and was secretly happy that she was willing to admit this identity in front of outsiders, but she didn't want her to drink like this.

He lightly snatched the wine glass from Shen Yiwu's hand, raised his head and drank the wine, and said to Luohu: "It is indeed my blessing, but today you want to pour wine into Yiwu, I don't agree." ”

The potential rules on the wine table have always been like this, in the past, under the cover of the "method of hiding butterflies", Shen Yiwu was just a thin man, no one would deliberately target it, even those poor drinking friends in Cambrian would not dare to embarrass her with Shen Yi's generous spending.

But it is difficult to achieve this kind of superficial fairness on the real wine table, not to mention that Shen Yi's beautiful posture will inevitably attract the envy of others and give birth to a lot of flirtatious thoughts, which Jiang Ming can't bear.

Shen Yi stared at Jiang Ming in a daze and drank all the wine in his cup, in this cross box full of wine, the atmosphere suddenly became charming and intense, and his delicate cheeks instantly burned red, but he was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to do.

Originally, I wanted to be annoyed by Jiang Ming's bold behavior, but when I heard Jiang Ming's words to Luo Hu, there was no mystery in the words, but they contained great care, and a heart warmed by the wine became even hotter.

She grabbed Jiang Ming's cuffs, a little flustered, but swallowed what she wanted to say.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Jiang Ming's voice was gentle, like a whisper from a homely couple, and said: "Drink less today, I know you haven't had a good drink for a long time, but there are still friends you have met for a long time, if you want to drink, I will accompany you to drink when you return to the inn." ”

"Come less, drink too much and let you take advantage!" Shen Yiwu felt that something was wrong as soon as he finished speaking, and recalled the absurd thing that he was drunk one night in Cambrian and almost made a big mistake, and the flush on his face seemed to be dripping, and he said in a panic: "Forget it, if you don't drink, you won't drink, I'll go to the window to cool off." ”

Seeing Shen Yi's reaction, Jiang Ming smiled bitterly and muttered in a low voice: "Does she know about that?"

Young men and women couldn't help but say some love words, Luo Hu was naturally understandable, seeing Shen Yi walking away with a flushed face, he poured wine for Jiang Ming without care, and said: "It's that I acted inappropriately just now, let Miss Shen drink too much, I punished myself, and Brother Jiang Ming showed me." ”

He poured a full cup, raised his head and drank it all, and said with a smile: "In the future, you can call us by our names, we are all our own brothers, I believe that Lao Jin and Mengzi are also happy to join you, Hanzi has already advocated you for a long time, and several of our brothers will be your brothers." ”

It was not the first time Luo Hu had said this, as if he was sure that Jiang Ming would not refuse, and the fate of several of them might be closer for this sentence, but Jiang Ming had a consideration in his heart. So he didn't respond to his enthusiasm with passion, even Chu Hong looked at him with a fanatical gaze.

Jiang Ming's expression returned to calm, and he was about to explain his reasons out loud, but Lin Han on the side lightly pressed his shoulder blade and said with a smile: "Luohu, you have crossed the line, this guy is the person I brought, you have to listen to me when you join." ”

"Hanzi, why are you ......" Chu Hong looked at Lin Han suspiciously, he clearly remembered that it was Lin Han who eagerly talked about Jiang Ming's benefits, and asked the military advisor to specialize in divination to determine the auspicious omen, and also persuaded with the "Ninety-Nine Angelica to One" mystic technique, the purpose was to ask several of them to accept this new brother, but why did he come out to stop Jiang Ming when he really replied?

Lin Han said: "Each has its own fate in the matter, and the order cannot be changed, this is what the military advisor said." ”

How could Luo Hu and Chu Hong not know Lin Han's temperament, since they pulled out these so-called evidences, they were not allowed to ask more, the two just sighed lightly, and did not say anything more.

Jiang Ming glanced at Lin Han gratefully, Fang Cai's words were to relieve the siege for his own embarrassment, as for whether the military advisor of Wohua Mountain had said this, there was no way to know, Lin Han meant not to force him, he remembered.

Lin Han smiled: "You said in Cambrian Pass before, if you want to come to my Wohua Mountain, I want to do this landlord's friendship, I don't know when you want to go?"

Jiang Ming said: "In a few days, I am waiting for the underground trading hall in Jiaozhi City to open, I need to buy one thing, after that, I will go to your place to eat, don't worry about me." ”

"Underground trading club?" Lin Han had a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes slowly swept over Chu Hong and Luo Hu, and he paused and laughed: "No, no, of course, if you eat too much, it may not be." ”

"Hahahaha!" Hearing this, everyone at the table laughed, sweeping away the embarrassment they had before.

"By the way, I'm going to borrow money from you. ”

The sky was dark and moonless, and the banquet came to an end, because there was still business in Wohua Mountain, Lin Han and the others went out of the city overnight, and Die had no relatives here, so Luo Hu also made up his mind directly, advanced the original plan a few years in advance, and took Die to ride away.

At this time, only Jiang Ming and Shen Yi returned to the inn.

"By the way, I haven't borrowed any money from them, can you still buy the medicinal herbs?" Shen Yiwu poured two cups of strong tea and put one of them in front of Jiang Ming.

"Medicinal herbs naturally have to be bought, otherwise there is no point in us staying in Jiaozhi City. However, that level of medicinal materials is extremely expensive, and there is no chance to buy it without 10,000 taels of silver, Lin Han and they can make up 3,000 taels for me, which is already very good, and I will open my mouth to the owner of Chang'an again tomorrow, and I should be able to make up the shortage of funds. ”

Jiang Ming's face was slightly red, because they talked happily at the table, talking more than drinking, but he was also slightly drunk.

Shen Yiwei didn't refute, she took out a few silver tickets from her arms, and said, "I still have some money here, almost two thousand taels, and we won't have money for food and accommodation if we run out." ”

Jiang Ming hummed lightly, grabbed Shen Yi's hand that handed over the silver ticket, stared straight at Shen Yi's faint and vulgar, beautiful but not glamorous cheeks, and shuttled through the figures of several women in his mind.

Mu Qinglan's elegant and sad appearance, Mei Yuqi's youthful and heartfelt painting, and the noble and dusty look of the veiled woman, Kwai Ji is enchanting and tenacious, but he is not in this ranks, he will only recall the affectionate woman in his life.

He has a desire to have a love like Yequan and Lin Shi, and for this reason, he is also pursuing another layer of meaning for himself.

At this moment, he firmly believed that Shen Yiwei would be this person.

"Yi Wei ......", Jiang Ming pulled the stunned Shen Yi into his arms, lay in her ear affectionately, and exhaled the heat along the voice: "Yi Wei, I want to pursue you." In the future, you don't have to worry anymore. ”

Shen Yi's heart was beating violently, the man's fiery breath was radiating to her slightly stiff body, she was ashamed to be in his arms, she thought, she would not refuse.

Jiang Ming seemed to hear a low whisper, and fell to the ground with Shen Yi in his arms, but fortunately, there were soft blankets in this box, so they wouldn't bump bags out of the heads of the two of them.

It's never the wine that is intoxicating. Seeing the crane hall, the white water can be intoxicating, and the thousand maples are inside, and the eyes can also be intoxicating.

Shen Yiwu was pressed by half of Jiang Ming's body, she didn't want to adjust her posture, looking at Jiang Ming, she was drunk and fell asleep, but she didn't know that she was by her side, she couldn't help but feel ridiculous, this is not the first time.

The lovers hugged each other and slept on the ground, they all fell asleep like this, the moonlight of the clouds and the moonrise had been seen, and the corners of her mouth were filled with a contented smile.
