In the box, the dining table was already full of dishes, the guests and hosts were seated, Xiao Yuan and the old man sat together, Tang Chunpeng and Tang Xinxin sat together, and the distinction was clear.

"Second uncle, it's a bit expensive to order so many dishes." Xiao Yuan looked at the dishes on the table and said politely.

"What is the cost of Lang, the second uncle has been in the United States for so long, it is rare to invite you to a meal, and it should be hearty." Tang Chunpeng hurriedly said, probably because of Tang Doudou, his expression was a little heavy, he wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, and he looked very awkward.

"I said that you are very hypocritical, you obviously have something to talk about, why do you want to talk about so many false things." The old man listened impatiently, picked up his chopsticks, took a large mouthful of food, put it in his mouth, and munched on it.

"Second uncle, you must have something to say when you invite me to dinner this time, right?" Xiao Yuan didn't bother to talk to Tang Chunpeng, and asked along the old man's nonsense.

"Hehe, eat first, eat first, Xinxin, pour wine for your brother and old gentleman." Tang Chunpeng was not angry because of the old man's rude interruption, a smile appeared on his face, he did not deny Xiao Yuan's problem, but he did not talk about it immediately, but ordered Tang Xinxin to pour wine for Xiao Yuan and the old man.

Tang Xinxin stood up, picked up the wine on the table and poured a glass for Xiao Yuan, and when he was about to pour it for the old man, he was blocked by the old man.

"I'm old and don't drink."

Tang Xin was a little embarrassed, so she turned her attention to her father.

"Just follow the old gentleman, pour the old gentleman a glass of juice." Tang Chunpeng said.

"Pour a glass of boiled water for the old man, the old man doesn't drink juice." The old man said again.

"Xinxin, go find a glass of boiled water for the old gentleman." There was juice in the box, but there was no boiled water, so Tang Chunpeng instructed Tang Xinxin.

"Okay, old man, you wait a minute." Tang Xinxin put the wine on the table and walked outside the restaurant.

"Be careful." Tang Chunpeng said another word when Tang Xinxin pushed the door open to go out.

Tang Xinxin's footsteps paused, he didn't look back, he didn't speak, he pushed the door open and went out, but the sound of closing the door was a little loud, and there was a bang, and there was really a buzz in the room.

"This girl is usually spoiled by me, and I instruct her to do some work, so she will be petty, Xiao Yuan, old man, don't be surprised, let's eat vegetables first." After Tang Xinxin left, Tang Chunpeng began to warmly greet Xiao Yuan and the old man to eat.

The two of them were not polite to Tang Chunpeng, picked up the chopsticks and ate them violently, fortunately, Tang Xinxin went quickly and came back quickly, otherwise the two of them would probably have to eat enough.

"Sir, your boiled water." Tang Xinxin poured a glass of boiled water for the old man, then put the glass kettle next to the old man and sat back in his place.

"Xiao Yuan, old man, come, let's have a toast together." Tang Chunpeng raised the wine glass in front of him and said to Xiao Yuan and the old man.

"Well, the old man replaces wine with water." The old man picked up his water glass, Xiao Yuan picked up the wine glass, and after signaling to Tang Chunpeng, he put it to his mouth, but he didn't drink it immediately, but watched Tang Chunpeng drink the wine dry after he raised his neck, and then he was ready to drink the wine.

Poof, but just as Xiao Yuan was about to pour the wine into his mouth, the old man suddenly turned his head and sprayed him with a mouthful of water.

"What kind of water is this, it smells weird, it's not good to drink." The old man shouted.

Xiao Yuan was sprayed with water, so he had to put down the wine glass first, patted the water stains on his body, turned his head to look at the old man, but saw him secretly squeezing his eyes towards him, his heart couldn't help but move, turned his head and glanced at the liquor on the table, thoughtful.

"Xinxin, what kind of water did you get for the old gentleman?" Tang Chunpeng's face changed, but he immediately returned to normal, and turned to ask Tang Xinxin with a calm face.

"I ......" Tang Xinxin was a little aggrieved, and was about to defend himself, but was interrupted by Tang Chunpeng.

"What are you, go and refill a jug of water for the old gentleman, remember, pure water."

Tang Xinxin pouted, so he had to stand up again, pick up the glass kettle in front of the old man and re-fetch water.

"I'm sorry, I'm a person who is very sensitive to water quality, and if there are some impurities in it, I will feel uncomfortable, I'm really embarrassed." The old man said to Tang Chunpeng.

"It's okay, this time I specially told Xinxin to find you pure water, you will definitely be satisfied." Tang Chunpeng squeezed out a smile and said, but when he spoke, Xiao Yuan felt that he had some signs of gnashing his teeth, although he hid it deeply.

"Pure water is good, the old man likes it the most, boy, simply you are like the old man, drinking pure water is good, wine hurts the body, it's really not a good thing." The old man said with a smile.

"Okay, it's just that the second uncle won't necessarily let me go." Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

"Old man, our uncle and nephew still have a good drink, it's a pity to have a banquet without wine." Tang Chunpeng hurriedly said.

"It's okay to drink alcohol, but don't drink this kind of high-alcohol wine, it's too hurtful, I suggest you change to low-alcohol wine, drinking it is both enjoyable and not hurtful." The old man waved his hand and put forward his own suggestion, and then without waiting for Tang Chunpeng to speak, he made his own assertion and said, "It's so decided, the old man is the oldest, so he will rely on the old man to sell the old once, wait for the little girl to come back, let her work hard again, and go get a bottle of low-alcohol wine." ”

"Sir, this is not very good, this bottle of wine has just been opened, and I haven't drunk much yet, and there are some lang fees." Xiao Yuan said with the old man.

"What does Lang cost, your second uncle's family has a big business, and you still care about the cost of this bottle of wine?" The old man glared at him and said, and after speaking, he said to Tang Chunpeng, who seemed to be a little absent-minded, "Boy, do you think this is what the old man said?" ”

"Ahh Tang Chunpeng sighed, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, when the heart comes, let her go and get a bottle of low-alcohol wine, and this bottle of wine will not be drunk." ”

"Well, that's what it sounds like." The old man nodded, very satisfied with Tang Chunpeng's reaction, then picked up the chopsticks, pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Eat the dishes, don't be stupid." Judging by his tone, it was as if he were the master.

Tang Chunpeng smiled bitterly, picked up the chopsticks, and said to Xiao Yuan: "Xiao Yuan, eat vegetables." ”

"Thank you, Second Uncle." Xiao Yuan expressed his gratitude to Tang Chunpeng.

When Tang Xinxin came back again, the glass kettle in his hand was gone, replaced by a few unopened plastic pure water bottles, this time the old man didn't give any opinions, and he didn't let Tang Xinxin pour water for him. Instead, he took the water bottle to a cup, took a sip and said: "Little girl, please go again, go and get a bottle of low-alcohol wine back, remember, you also want this kind of unopened, if the waiter secretly drinks it, or it is mixed with impurities, it will not be good." ”

"Go, go, go." Tang Chunpeng waved his hand and sent Tang Xinxin out again.

Tang Xinxin took back another bottle of low-alcohol wine from outside, but the old man took it in his hand first, and after reading it repeatedly, he opened it with satisfaction, handed it to Tang Xinxin, and said: "Little girl, pour a bar for your father and Xiao Yuan, how good is low-alcohol wine, it can be enjoyed without hurting your body." ”

"Haha, Xiao Yuan, old man, let's have a drink." After Tang Xinxin poured it again, Tang Chunpeng picked up the wine glass again and said with a smile.

"Okay, cheers." Xiao Yuan also picked up the wine glass, and after signaling to Tang Chunpeng, he drank it all, and the old man also took a sip of water, not messing around, and then naturally the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, until the banquet was over, Tang Chunpeng just chatted with Xiao Yuan about some household matters, but he didn't say a word about the business.

…………

"Xiao Yuan, your second uncle may not be good for you, you must be careful, when you were eating just now, if it weren't for the old man messing around, relying on the old and selling the old, you might have to fall for him." When he came out of the hotel, it was already completely dark, Xiao Yuan drank some wine, and decided not to go to school anymore, but walked home with the old man, and on the way, the old man reminded him.

"There's something wrong with his wine?" Xiao Yuan asked.

"You're pretty smart." The old man said, "Do you know why the old man wants to boil water? ”

"Why, I remember that you usually like to drink tea, and rarely drink plain water?" Xiao Yuan asked.

"Boiled water is tasteless, if there is medicine in it, the old man can taste it, wine, or juice or the like, if you put some medicine that does not taste obvious, unless it is a fairy, no one can taste it." The old man said.

"So that's what happened, you sprayed me with water to stop me from drinking, so thank you, old man." Xiao Yuan said.

"Forget it, the old man found out that I followed you and became your bodyguard." The old man waved his hand to interrupt Xiao Yuan's words, sighed, and then asked, "Boy, tell me the truth, did you kill that little girl's twin brother?" ”

"It's not." Xiao Yuan replied.

"So, is her brother's death related to you?" The old man asked again.

"It's related to me, he teamed up with others to harm me, if it weren't for my cleverness, I'm afraid he would have been killed, but he really wasn't killed by me." Xiao Yuan said.

"It's good that you didn't kill it, the old man really doesn't want to see you kill anymore." The old man nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you, old man, for your concern." Xiao Yuan said gratefully.

"You're welcome." The old man said, as soon as the words fell, he suddenly stopped, grabbed Xiao Yuan's arm, and shouted, "Be careful." ”

As his words fell, there was a thud, and two things with brown and yellow smoke were thrown near them, and the smoke spread instantly.

"Poisonous, breath-holding." The old man shouted again, and as he spoke, four black-clothed men rushed out from both sides of the road, rushing towards the two like four bolts of lightning, and the bright steel knife in his hand cut through the night sky, whistling and slashing at the two.
