Chapter Eighty-Five: Just Eating
Chapter 85
"I didn't expect Little Brother Deng to have such an encounter......"
"Eat well, you won't talk about me, okay?"
Deng Si'er looked at Yu Yingran's compassionate gaze as he spoke, and felt as if he was covered with thorns, and he felt uncomfortable, so he interrupted Yu Yingran's words.
Yu Yingran was stunned for a moment, and saw that Deng Si'er's tone seemed to be a little irritable, so he turned his head to look at Zuo Zhi.
Zuo Idiot still didn't speak, just nodded his head slightly.
At that time, the scene of the death of Deng Si'er's adoptive father and brother-in-law is still in his mind, and Zuo Idiot recalls that he only brought out the charred body of Deng Si'er's adoptive father from the fire, and the tragic situation is really unbearable, but Deng Si'er's two brother-in-law ......
But since Deng Si'er and him embarked on this seemingly slow and boundless road of investigation, except for the cry after Deng Si'er confided the truth hidden in his heart when he met Chu Jing, he never mentioned the death of his relatives, and he didn't even have the slightest feeling for the death of his relatives.
It wasn't until later that Deng Si'er rescued Dou Ba in the Song Mansion, but he didn't say a word to Dou Ba.
Dou Ba watched Deng Si'er eat by himself, and his hand holding the chopsticks froze in place for a long time. Dou Ba never thought that such a lively and vivid person would have no father and no mother......
Deng Si'er was most unaccustomed to seeing people sympathize with his plight, because he was a little impatient and uncomfortable to see the quiet and dull scene at the table now.
"What are you doing in a daze! Meals are going to be cold! What a shame such a good meal went to waste. I don't mind that, why do you want so much? When people are dead, why are they still thinking about the past? It's not that everyone should look forward, right? Eat quickly, eat. ”
Deng Si'er said with a big grin, and then added a little bit of the side dishes at hand and put them in Mo Lidao's bowl, and muttered in his mouth:
"Mr. Mo is the last generation of Nanhu Baicao, right? Let's get to know what happened in the afternoon, shall we? Boy, I'll give you two dishes to make amends, and then you will pour wine with the dishes here, and I Deng Si'er will cover them all, don't you think? ”
"Haha...... Interesting...... Ha ha...... Stinky boy, a good person wants to look forward, just by your words, none of us will mention the afternoon's affairs. Come, for your 'look forward', I will first toast you. Mo Lidao laughed twice, looked at Deng Si'er and said.
"Okay, how is this wine better than osmanthus? Isn't it delicious? When Deng Si'er heard this, he raised his wine glass and put it in front of his eyes, glanced at it, frowned, and said.
"You kid!"
With Mo Lidao's hearty smile and scolding, the rest of the people also raised their wine glasses with a smile.
Because of Deng Si'er and Mo Lidao's 'turning hostility into jade', the atmosphere in the banquet became lively again, but except for Deng Si'er and Mo Lidao, everyone didn't know what this 'fight' was, but anyway, the two parties didn't plan to mention it again, just ask in private when they have time.
It's just that at this time, no one noticed that the light in the corner of Deng Si'er's eyes quietly looked at Chu Jing opposite, although Chu Jing also raised his wine glass, but his two eyelids were slightly drooping, and the smile hanging on the corner of his mouth seemed to have a bitter taste.
What Chu Jing thinks in his heart now, and how complicated it is, Deng Si'er doesn't know, but Deng Si'er's thoughts in his heart are clear to him, how complicated Chu Jing's smile is, how complicated Deng Si'er's heart is at this time.
"Everyone in the world says 'don't fight, you don't know each other', it seems that this statement is not false at all, and it is verified in the bodies of Little Brother Deng and Senior Brother Mo, as it should be." Yu Yingran watched everyone put down their wine glasses and said with a smile.
"I said Baicao Divine Doctor, you call him 'Senior Brother Mo', could it be that you are a master?" Deng Si'er was curious about Yu Yingran's title for Mo Lidao just now, and when he saw that the atmosphere was harmonious at the moment, he asked.
Hearing this, Yu Yingran turned his head to look at Deng Si'er and smiled, and said:
"No, little brother Deng doesn't know that although this 'Nanhu Baicao' is elected every ten years, it is not a replacement every ten years, but it can be re-elected. Everyone is a fellow practitioner, and they all have the ability to be elected to the Nanhu Baicao of the past dynasties, so they are also counted as the same family, Senior Brother Mo is more than ten years older than me, so I am called a senior brother. ”
Deng Si'er nodded, then turned his head to look at Mo Lidao and said in surprise:
"I didn't expect that you were also Nanhu Baicao more than ten years ago, and when you calculate your age, isn't it the same age as today's Doctor Yu? I really didn't see that you were so powerful! ”
"Hehe......" Mo Lidao looked at Deng Si'er's surprised expression, smiled proudly, and said in his heart, how many things I am good at, you kid don't know yet!
But Mo Lidao said with a serious and modest mouth:
"Where, where, at that time, I just became Nanhu Baicao, but if I was older than Qianzhi."
"Then I'd like to ask." Deng Si'er suddenly put down the dishes and chopsticks at this time, looked at Mo Lidao and said.
The others were also eating and chatting, and suddenly heard Deng Si'er raise their voices and say this, and they all looked over curiously, wanting to see what Deng Si'er and Mo Lidao were talking about.
"Oh? What's the problem? But it doesn't hurt to ask. Mo Lidao also followed Deng Si'er to put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at Deng Si'er and said.
Deng Si'er looked at Yu Yingran with his eyes, then fell on Mo Lidao, then thought about it, and then blinked and said:
"This is what you said yourself, then I asked, in fact, even if I am curious, didn't the Baicao Divine Doctor just say that this Nanhu Baicao can be re-elected, then how can you ......?"
Mo Lidao's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, and Yu Yingran was also shocked when he heard the words on the side.
This Deng Si'er, how can you think of asking this question?
Outsiders don't know the hidden secrets, and they are secretly sorry for Mo Lidao, but Yu Yingran, the next generation of Nanhu Baicao after Mo Lidao, understands it clearly.
It turned out that the reason why Mo Lidao was not re-elected to Nanhu Baicao was because in the last year of his tenure, something unexpected happened to everyone.
Because, Mo Lidao suddenly lost his sense of taste overnight!
"Deng Si'er, this is Mr. Mo's private matter, how can you ask at will?" Zuo Idiot looked at Mo Lidao's expression and guessed that the things in this were unusual, so he looked at Mo Lidao and said apologetically.
Deng Si'er looked at Mo Lidao's obvious change in expression, how could he still be ignorant? He pursed his lips, picked up the chopsticks again, and said with a smile on his face while putting vegetables into Mo Lidao's bowl:
"It's still the same sentence, don't worry about me, I'm like this, my mouth can't be idle."
Mo Lidao looked at Deng Si'er's funny face, the corners of his mouth curved, and he said angrily:
"Count your kid as self-aware, eat!"
