Chapter 218: The choice of the crossroads
The moonlight is still relatively faint, so the night sky is not too bright today.
The two brothers, Qian Hao and Shen Jun, just wandered in the streets.
Fang Cai saw Qian Hao come to the door of his house and was personally bumped into by Shen Jun. Shen Jun understood what this brother was trying to say. No, before Qian Hao could speak, Shen Jun directly made a 'please' gesture to him.
'If you have anything to say, just say it!' Shen Jun was expressing this meaning.
Qian Hao also moved his steps knowingly. So, there was a scene of two people wandering on the street.
"What's the matter, don't you invite me to your house to sit?" After walking a few steps, Qian Hao laughed and joked.
Shen Jun, on the other hand, was obviously a little surprised, "Ahh
"Unless you don't think of me as a brother, of course. Otherwise, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you should take me to introduce your family!" Qian Hao's smile was even brighter.
"Well, I know that in this case, I will take you directly to the house!" Shen Jun threw his arm casually, "I don't know! I thought you came here to talk about something important!" You should also be able to understand that this is not suitable for women and children!" Shen Jun replied. Somehow, his face suddenly became serious, and there was no smile at all.
After hearing this, Qian Hao nodded again and again, "That's right! There are some things! It's really not suitable to tell them!"
"That's right, that's why I asked you to come to the street to talk!" Shen Jun shook his body, "Qian Hao, if the so-called 'important matter' is discussed, you can come back to my house! Actually, I also want my tigress to know about the existence of your brute." That's it! I've told them about you before! My daughter said she wants to be an archer!
"Oh, can I?" Qian Hao exaggeratedly twitched his chest with his thumb.
"Of course, you are a very talented archer!" Shen Jun's face returned to his usual playful appearance, and he slapped Qian Hao's elbow with his backhand.
Qian Hao didn't react to this, he just shook his head comfortably, "That's too much of a compliment!"
The streets they wandered on were quite long, and the families on both sides had long since closed their doors and slept. Qian Hao stared at one of them, and there was a sense of nostalgia for having a home in his heart.
"Alas! Shen Jun! Sometimes time flies quite quickly when I think about it! We used to wander the streets like this and chat!"
"Huh, what do you want to say?"
"Hmm......" Qian Hao's gaze slowly moved back as he walked, and his gaze on a certain family never changed, "I want to say ...... Time flies. We used to be two single young people, but now you're a father. Alas, sometimes think about it, alas...... "Qian Hao didn't know what to say."
"Then you should go and find one! According to your conditions, it is not impossible to find it!" Shen Jun's mouth was about to bulge into a ball, and his eyes were also marked with 'contempt', "Don't provoke a few bad women, and if you find a good one, you can talk about it with your heart, no!"
Hearing Shen Jun's education, Qian Hao was quite embarrassed. He straightened his throat and habitually put his hand to his mouth, "Ahem...... Cough...... Okay! Okay! Don't talk about this kind of topic! I'm looking for you now to talk about important things!"
"Oh, I'll just say, it's an important thing!" Shen Jun quickly shook his face.
At this time, the two happened to come to a fork in the road. It was due to the intersection of two streets, formed by the crossing.
Which one should they choose? The two stopped almost at the same time. In fact, at such a common crossroads, the two people who go shopping with leisure do not need to worry about anything at all. The reason why they are still hesitant is mainly because of the next choice. Perhaps, any choice made today has a special meaning for them.
"Aren't you leaving?" Shen Jun straightened his back towards the fork in front of him.
Qian Hao glanced at Shen Jun and took a step parallel to him, "What about you, which way you don't choose?"
Shen Jun was lost in thought. After a long time, he lifted his steps directly. He didn't choose to turn, but went straight ahead. After jumping over a road, he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping.
Qian Hao, who was lagging behind, seemed to know something, and he followed quickly. When the two walked to a parallel position again, Qian Hao asked questions directly.
"Shen Jun, I don't plan to beat around the bush! The reason why I came to you again at this time is to recruit you into the team!" Qian Hao's face darkened slightly, this was what he did on purpose.
"I'll just say it! So...... Did you come yourself, or did the woman call you?" Shen Jun asked tentatively.
"Is there a difference between the two?"
"Yes! What a difference! If that woman calls you, I'll just give you a 'no'! Anyway, you can see that she doesn't like me very much now. She only likes fanatical warfighters!But if you're here yourself, then what......" Shen Jun seemed to be in a state of hesitation, his hand still touching his chin.
"What are you going to do?" Qian Hao was also very interested in the answer.
"Well...... Shen Jun blinked deftly, "I still need to think about it!"
After hearing this, Qian Hao instantly smiled self-deprecatingly, "It turned out to be 'still need to be considered'! Originally, I thought that you would know that I wanted you to join the team, and you would nod your head without hesitation!"
"Oh yes! Qian Hao! You overestimate our friendship!"
"Hmph, your rectum personality hasn't changed at all!"
"Oh, each other, each other, each other!" Shen Jun tilted his head and made a respectful fist salute.
"Shen Jun, you dog is too polite, I'm a little unaccustomed to it!" Qian Hao pouted and mocked.
"I've always been like this!" Shen Jun made an angry gesture at Qian Hao. But the action didn't last long, and he looked up to the sky and sighed, "Qian Hao, there is one thing I don't understand, how did you have anything to do with that kind of woman in the first place." Is it ......?"
Shen Jun was a little inclined to speak, but judging from the corners of his mouth twitching from time to time at that time, he seemed to have a lot of obscene thoughts at the moment.
"Hey, what are you thinking?"
"Don't blame me for being too eyey, but I really don't understand how you ended up on that kind of team. The others won't talk about it for now, but that woman......! But after a few seconds of careful thinking, he still held back the word 'difficult to get along with' in his mouth.
"Yes, I know, she's very strong, but there's a reason I'm around her!"
"Reason?oh?" Shen Jun showed an incredulous expression, "When you Qian Hao said that there is a reason to stay by a woman's side, then you can only ...... Ahhh......h She...... Ah! No! Qian Hao! You haven't done a good job of this security measure! This is not like you! You are not the kind of person who will miss out! You have a lot of experience in this area!"
Shen Jun's words seemed to be a little uncertain, which made Qian Hao's face darken, "Hey, hey, Shen Jun, what nonsense are you talking about? What kind of 'miss is not missing', you are really getting more and more obscene!"
"If that's not the case, how could you want to stay with a woman all the time? Why do you want to stay by her side now?" Shen Jun's mouth was hardly heard. When he finished speaking, he suddenly understood something, "Ah! I know! That woman is also a ruthless character at first glance, and she probably submisses you well!"
Regarding Shen Jun's long list of remarks, Qian Hao was suddenly angry. He quickly waved his hand, "Hey, what are you talking nonsense? Why is it more and more outrageous! You don't have paranoia!"
"Delusional, you use this term for a doctor quite well!" Shen Jun snickered at Qian Hao again. But in the next moment, he quickly approached Qian Hao again, and hit the other party's ribs with his elbow, "How is it?
Qian Hao blinked at first, and then he understood what Shen Jun meant, "Hey, why are you so unserious!"
"Ha! You Qian Hao will also accuse others of being indecent? You Qian Hao is also qualified to talk about other people's impropriety?" Shen Jun shook his head lightly with an incredulous face.
"It's not what you think! I'm just friends with that woman!Oh! Maybe not even a 'friend'!" Qian Hao narrowed his eyes slowly. The past with Shen Mengting came out of his mind. For some reason, a note on the 'master-servant relationship' also took root in his mind.
Shen Jun obviously didn't believe it, he shook his head and smiled with bared teeth, as if he was very disdainful of what Qian Hao had just said.
"I'm telling you the truth! I don't need to lie to you!" Qian Hao raised one of his eyebrows, "You should know me! I don't hide anything from a woman when I talk about friends." Because, that's the glorious label on my Qian Hao!"
"Oh, that's right!" Shen Jun grinned, "If you really can handle that kind of woman, don't you have to go around to publicize it?
Qian Hao turned his neck awkwardly, it seemed that this question was still quite a headache for him, "It's not something that can be explained overnight!"
"Oh, that's omitted!"
"How can you omit it?" Qian Hao rolled his eyelids, "If you really want to know, I can only answer you like this now! At first, I met that woman......" As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Qian Hao realized that he had made a mistake. But he decided that the other party wouldn't investigate it anyway, so it would be wrong!
"Huh, met that woman, and then?"
"Well, I met her anyway, and won her trust. She thinks that I, a high-level archer, can be used by her, so she will recruit me!"
"But! Qian Hao! I feel that this daughter is quite suspicious! Not like the kind that will trust people at will! Besides, you Qian Hao is not a good thing! How can you win her trust so easily?"
"What do you mean ......?"
"Oh! Qian Hao! I'm just curious, how can a person like you, who loves freedom on a daily basis, go to accomplish any task with a team?"
"Heh, you really know me!" Qian Hao shook his head and chuckled. However, he quickly regained that sense of seriousness.
For a moment, everything around me was quiet again. Neither Qian Hao nor Shen Jun spoke again, and they seemed to have their own little Jiujiu in their hearts.
When Qian Hao spoke again, it was already more than ten seconds later.
"Shen Jun, do you know? Actually, we're leaving this town tomorrow. So......" he slowly raised his head and looked straight ahead, "I hope you can figure it out quickly." ”
Probably because the information came a little suddenly, the expression on Shen Jun's face had a sense of obstruction. However, after only a few seconds of adjustment, he still returned to normal.
"Oh, is it, I'll leave tomorrow, I'm in a hurry, isn't it!" he glanced at Qian Hao.
"We've been pressed for time! We weren't coming to this town, but I strongly recommended you to make the woman willing to take a day out to rest in this town. ”
"Oh!
"We're really pressed for time, we've been delaying for a long time. We must arrive at Kiyose Castle as soon as possible before we can organize an effective defense! Otherwise, ...... Otherwise......"
Qian Hao didn't release the next words, but his eyes seemed to reveal the murderous aura of soldiers from other countries.
A brief silence swept down the street, and Shen Jun stared at Qian Hao deeply, "Qian Hao! There is a question I have always wanted to ask! What kind of thoughts do you have at the moment?"
"Well, why do you ask?"
"The Qian Hao I knew before, but he was not a man who wanted to protect his family and defend the country! At the previous dinner table, when you echoed that woman's words, I almost thought it wasn't you!" Shen Jun twitched his cheek.
When Qian Hao heard this, it was as if there was something unspeakable, and he slowly lowered his shoulders.
"Qian Hao, what's wrong?" Shen Jun lifted his shoulder slightly, "I don't think you're such a mother-in-law!"
"People always become!"
"Hey, why did you start to develop into an intellectual again?"
"No, that's my true thoughts!" Qian Hao's appearance looked negative in the game, "Shen Jun! Sometimes I always think about a question, what is the purpose of living alone in the world?"
Qian Hao's remarks seemed to be a bit profound, which made Shen Jun not know how to respond.
Qian Hao also saw this, and he immediately followed, "People, you will always die when you are old." So, it's better to take advantage of your youth to do something meaningful!"
"Something meaningful?" Shen Jun repeated meaninglessly, "What do you mean?"
"Specifically!" the Qian family's vision was a little empty. But gradually, a sharp gaze was revealed from it, "Naturally, it means that you can become famous!"
As if shocked by Qian Hao's words, Shen Jun stopped suddenly.
"How is it?Shen Jun! Actually, you also have an extraordinary heart!" Qian Hao didn't look back, but he stopped surprisingly.
"Qian Hao!" Shen Jun's gaze froze in front of him.
"Everyone actually has an extraordinary heart, who wants to go like this for the rest of their lives?" At this moment, Qian Hao finally turned around. It's just that his whole face is already a fierce look.
"Qian Hao! you ...... You ......" Shen Jun only felt that his throat was a little dry, which also made it difficult for him to speak.
"You must have had it too! Shen Jun! Don't tell me that you want to be a coach here for the rest of your life!"
"......" Shen Jun clenched his two fists, "......"
"You must have an extraordinary heart, and you must have a dream to pursue! So, you definitely don't want to live comfortably in this town forever! And the main reason why you didn't go out is because you have a concern in your heart! I'm right?"
Shen Jun stretched out his chest at once, and his rapid breathing caused his chest to rise and fall, "Yes! You're right!"
Now that Shen Jun has chosen not to hide anymore, Qian Hao has gone straight to the point, "Your concern is your wife and children!"
Shen Jun's body twitched suddenly, as if he had been struck by lightning. He didn't reply, but the silence at the moment is the best proof.
"But Shen Jun, have you ever thought about a question!"
Shen Jun raised his eyes, "What's the problem?"
"Is it really a good thing for a wife and children to be mediocre for a lifetime?"
Shen Jun seemed to have completely lost his mind, and the pupils of his eyes seemed to be unable to focus anymore, causing his eyes to be a little closer.
"Shen Jun! I know what you think. You don't expect anything. For you, it is already a very happy thing to be able to accompany your wife and children for the rest of your life. And if you go out and break through, you may encounter something unexpected. This must be more than worth the loss!" Qian Hao did not make a move to wait anxiously for Shen Jun's response after speaking. He just looked at Shen Jun silently to show the expression 'I said something wrong'.
Shen Jun's nod already showed that Qian Hao was not wrong. However, Shen Jun still didn't speak, he just raised his pace again and surpassed Qian Hao in front of him.
The moonlight disappeared for a moment, mainly because of a dark cloud. Fortunately, the volume of the dark clouds is not too large, and blocking the moonlight is a short effort.
The clouds left, and the faint moonlight spread on the land again.
"Actually......" Shen Jun finally spoke, "I don't want to either!" He turned around and faced Qian Hao, "What man doesn't have a big dream!
"What exactly is your dream?"
Shen Jun looked directly at Qian Hao, "My dream is to become the most powerful swordsman in the Saran Kingdom!"
