Chapter 4: Philo City Peach Creek Wine
"On the vast sea, the wind swept the dark clouds, and between the dark clouds and the sea, there was a petrel, flying proudly!"
Teenagers with short black hair chanted poems in front of the sea, which was constantly flowing backwards in the night.
Li Xiangqing next to him pursed his lips and chuckled, letting the young man make trouble, his upward phoenix eyes were full of pampering and tolerance, just like the former Li Ergongzi, gentle and elegant, but much more calm and leisurely.
"Gorky's poems, how about it, I read it well. Lan Xi leaned over and waited to be complimented, but he didn't expect someone to just look at him and said with a smile,
"It's not good, it's too pompous, I've heard this poem, so you don't have the artistic conception when you read it like this. ”
Lan Xi pursed his lips and said a little unpleasantly, "What kind of artistic conception do you have? I have a unique artistic conception on the sea, what do you know?"
Li Xiangqing: "......"
In the end, Li Xiangqing still gave a thumbs up to the young man in front of him, Lan Xi's eyes lit up, his face turned a lot, and he said proudly, "Then you see, you people's aesthetics, you have to let Uncle Ben teach you a lesson to make progress." ”
Li Xiangqing opened his mouth, which could be called dumbfounded, and said in a joking tone,
"It's so brazen!"
I didn't expect Lan Xi to just continue, and he looked very proud, so far Li Xiangqing understood that such a child became a captain, firstly, because of his outstanding skills, and secondly...... and his face as thick as a city wall is also inseparable.
However, it's also really interesting.
Li Xiangqing looked at the sea in the dark, and there was a kind of expectation and excitement in his heart, the Western sea that once made him grit his teeth with hatred, what kind of interesting people and interesting things exist on this sea now?
Jiang Yuanxi, as the only girl on this boat, was taken care of by those who looked fierce and vicious.
They can tie up the girl when they have different positions, but when they become people with the same position, they don't mind taking care of the child, just like most people on this boat have had their own homes, their own families.
Jiang Yuanxi hugged Changle in his arms, stretched the front paw of the kitten for a while, and rubbed the fat piece of meat on its head for a while, soft and warm, and couldn't put it down.
The snow lion who defected to the girl under the crisis had a hard time, and it was originally a beast that dominated the bottom of the sea, and let it be in the hands of the girl, and sighed deeply, whether it was the two teenagers, or the girl who was holding herself, she was not an opponent, especially this girl's body had a special power, while attracting herself, she invisibly made herself succumb, and in desperation, the snow lion could only accept the girl's rubbing with a loveless face.
Well...... But it's quite comfortable to say.
The boy next to him didn't know when he was already asleep, and the man in the white jacket with a scar on his face picked up the boy and sent him to the cabin to rest, Jiang Yuanxi retracted his gaze, from the time he opened his eyes, it seemed that a day had passed in this place outside the Biluo Sea, but she still didn't feel tired, not sleepy, just confused and empty heart.
"Looks like you like this pet a lot. The short-haired black boy walked up to him, looking at him with the smell of wine, but the starlight in his eyes was unique, and no one else on the boat, including Li Xiangqing, had it.
Jiang Yuanxi nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
Lan Xi squatted down, and as soon as he put his hand on the white lion's body, the latter opened his claws and teeth to make an attack posture, but the behemoth white lion was scary, but a kitten put on such a posture and only was cute.
The white lion looked at the young man's gradually happy smile, and also understood that he was a pet now, and resisting would only make this person happier, and on the other hand, he could not recover his prototype because of a strange power, and the source of that power was the girl next to him.
Who is this girl who didn't make a move from beginning to end, but it was enough to make him succumb to his blood?
Lan Xi smiled happily, like an innocent teenager, Jiang Yuanxi could see that the teenager at this moment was really innocent, and Lan Xi also noticed that the girl was looking at him.
withdrew his hand, looked at the girl in front of him, and laughed, "Your name is Jiang Yuanxi?"
The girl nodded, but she was silent, and her expression did not change, but her eyes looked at the person in front of her calmly and curiously.
Lan Xi continued, "I have always grown up at sea, and I have seen many women since I was a child, but this is the first time I have met my sister. Xiangqing is my friend, he said that you are her sister, that is my Lan Xi's sister, from now on, if someone deceives you, it is to bully me Lan Xi, I will definitely beat him to the ground, okay?"
Lan Xi said with a smile, but he never thought that the girl would tilt her head, and then wondered, "Then what if the person who bullied me one day is a girl you like?"
Lan Xi was stunned, he didn't expect that this kid who didn't seem to understand anything would say such a thing and ask such a question, and he didn't know how to answer it for a while.
Li Xiangqing didn't look at it on the side, but he also bent his lips and smiled, his eyes flashing.
The smile grew because the girl had finally grown a little bit, and the twinkle in her eyes meant that her abilities were gradually improving.
What she said just now, Lan Xi might think it was just a tricky question, but since she would ask, it meant that there would be a day when there would be such a girl.
The power of man and god can be predicted before becoming that person, including the heavens, some people can have the ability to change their faces at will like Lingyun, as well as the closeness of all things, and some people may be warriors who are enough to open the world, and some people are like that girl, who have the ability to predict the future.
But in contrast, he cares more about whether she can live happily in this life. Some people seal her love in order to avoid the pain of love in her life, and she will no longer be tormented by love.
But in this way, will she really get her wish in this life?
Li Xiangqing doesn't know, he can't predict the future, but if he misses it, he may lack some sense of things, but he should be able to escape some corresponding suffering.
There are pros and cons, but no one knows whether the pros outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the pros?
Lan Xi was asked, but coaxing the child in front of him was the first thing, glanced at Li Xiangqing, coughed lightly and said,
"Of course, it's the most important thing to be the master of our sister, as long as anyone bullies my sister, it's not good!"
Jiang Yuanxi curled his lips, a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes, and Lan Xi was a little weak when he saw it, but fortunately, Jiang Yuanxi continued, "Well, I remember." ”
Then he lowered his head and touched the white lion in his arms, and said softly, "Changle, you also help Brother Lan Xi remember, if he breaks his promise, you will bite him." ”
Lan Xi: "......"
Although he is a little speechless about this name, Changle still prefers the way to punish the teenager, if it weren't for himself, how could he become someone's pet?
Jiang Yuanxi lowered his eyebrows and smiled, more soft and gentle, Lan Xi only felt that this sister looked more likable at this time, but he didn't know the surprise on Li Xiangqing's face behind him.
It turns out that she also has such a gentle and supple side, and it turns out that the girl who doesn't fight for those is just an ordinary person.
"The stars hang down and the plains are wide, and the moon swells and the rivers flow. Jiang Yuanxi muttered to himself, and suddenly raised his head to look to the left, Lan Xi thought that there was someone behind him, so he looked over, but saw nothing.
Turning around, he asked curiously, "What is my sister looking at?"
Jiang Yuanxi said softly, "Over there, it's very familiar, it seems that something is calling me." ”
Lan Xi frowned, thought about it, then stood up and ran to the helmsman's position, whispered a few words, and returned to Jiang Yuanxi's side after a while, and at this moment, the boat under his feet had changed the direction of the boat.
Li Xiangqing felt that it was a little inappropriate for Lan Xi to change the route of the voyage like this, so he said, "Lan Xi, you are ......"
Lan Xi waved his hand, extremely free and easy, "Sister Yuanxi said that it is familiar over there, so I will go and see it if I am not in danger, anyway, this trip I am also going to find a place to settle down and add supplies, I remember that there is a small city in the east, which is just right." ”
Li Xiangqing knew that he did it on purpose, so he didn't say much, but he couldn't help but look at the confusion and doubt in the girl's eyes.
Over there, what's there?
————
After sailing east for two days, he didn't see anything, but Jiang Yuanxi felt that the familiar feeling was getting stronger and stronger, but the supplies on the ship were almost insufficient, and Lan Xi had to dock to prepare things.
Philo City is a bustling town, not big, but it has everything Lanxi needs.
Those who walk on the sea always have to be familiar with these coastal towns, and naturally have some control over the government troops on these shores.
At present, this Philo City is a blind spot for the government army, but the mayor of the town is the youngest son of the Leo family, because of the special status of the Leo family, so the entire Philo City has gradually become a small and famous treaty port in the eastern seas.
"Speaking of this Philo City, it was still a small and unknown place more than ten years ago, and there were not many people here, but I don't know why, one day the youngest son of the Leo family was sent and became the mayor of the town, and the town gradually became prosperous. ”
Lan Xi took Li Xiangqing and Jiang Yuanxi introduced as they walked, the crew on the ship walked separately, and Harry walked with the crew from the other side.
Li Xiangqing has only seen part of the Western-style architecture, and it is the first time he has seen a small town like this. The path on the street is not as wide as Yandu City, but there are two pots of blooming flowers on the windows of every house on both sides of the road, dotting the sheep intestine path ahead.
Crossing a street where ordinary people lived, turning left suddenly opened up, it turned out to be the main street of Philo City, and it was also full of people, and the road was full of running carriages and some men wearing Western swords.
Lan Xi crossed the main road straight through, turned right into a small alley, and went straight ahead, stopping in front of a bar.
"Please drink, although the city of Philo is a small city, there is one kind of wine here that is unique. ”
Saying that, Lan Xi took the lead in pushing open the two wooden doors, and Jiang Yuanxi and Li Xiangqing entered the bar in turn.
The bar was dimly lit, and there were people dressed in crew costumes sitting around the tables, making it look like it was a bar for the crew.
Li Xiangqing escorted Jiang Yuanxi forward, blocking those fierce and greedy eyes.
Lan Xi said a few words at the bar, then chose a table to sit at near the bar, and after the two people behind him sat down, a young man came over with a plate with three glasses, and placed them in front of the three of them one by one.
Jiang Yuanxi picked up the cup in front of him, took a sip, only felt a little sweet, and then looked at the two people on the left and right, and frowned in unison, and then one was happy and the other was sad.
"What are you drinking? Is it different from mine?" Jiang Yuanxi said suspiciously, and was about to pick up the cup in front of Li Xiangqing as he spoke, but he held it down, and with a very resolute look, Jiang Yuanxi pursed his lips, a little unhappy.
When Tao Ziyuan in the previous life almost never shook his face at him, Li Xiangqing was also at a loss for a while, but Lan Xi said with a smile, "Sister Yuanxi is still young, we drink wine, when you grow up, after the age of sixteen, Brother Lan Xi invites you to drink Taoxi wine, how about it?"
Jiang Yuanxi pursed his mouth, although he was a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything.
Lan Xi smiled and rubbed her head, only to find the young man next to her stunned in a blink of an eye.
"Xiangqing, Xiangqing......"
After calling Li Xiangqing a few times, Lan Xi smiled, "What's wrong with you?"
Li Xiangqing came back to his senses, glanced at the purple wine in the glass, and said with a smile, "What is this wine called?"
"Peach Creek wine. Lan Xi explained, "It was deployed after the mayor of this Philo Town came, and it is also available in other places, but it does not have the authentic taste of Philo City. ”
Peach Creek wine, Tao Xi.
The name is so coincidental that Li Xiangqing can't believe it, and even surprises him.
Why did the Leo family suddenly come to Philo City, and why did they mix this wine called Peach Creek?
"Really?" Li Xiangqing muttered softly.
"Of course, how about it, what do you think it tastes like?" Lan Xi asked expectantly, as if he wanted Li Xiangqing's approval.
Li Xiangqing smiled, and it was back to normal, "Not bad." ”
Everything was normal in the bar, Li Xiangqing suddenly looked back, there was a small closed door not far behind him, he just seemed to feel that someone was there, could it be his own illusion?
In the alley behind the door, the gentleman in black clothes and hat gradually left the bar, but there was a smile on the corner of his lips that he had never seen before.
He waited, finally the girl.
Tao Xi, Peach Creek wine.
The black eyes flashed a trace of blood in the sun, the white fingers were slightly pale in the sun, and the straight figure gradually disappeared into the alley.
Philo City, night falls.
