Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Past
Duan Long and Liuli came to a bar, looked at the atmosphere around them, and felt okay, so they sat down, and then asked for two bottles of wine and some snacks.
Looking at the bar singers singing on stage, Ruri smiled knowingly, and then when they finished singing, she raised the bottle in her hand and applauded.
And looking at Liuli's appearance, Duan Long felt a little relieved in his heart. From the time she saw Liuli this morning, she seemed to have something on her mind, she didn't speak, she didn't smile, and most of the time she was stunned, so that Duan Long was also a little worried.
As a result, it seems that she is in good shape now, and Duan Long is a little more relieved.
"Do you want to go up and sing a song?"
Looking at the way Liuli danced, Duan Long said with a smile. And after Liuli heard what Duan Long said, she didn't answer immediately, but continued to hum the tune and beat along with the singers.
"Seriously, thank you today, I know you said Lin was here because of me."
"It's a trivial matter, I didn't deal with the people of his Lin family, but he still looked for you, and I couldn't sit idly by."
Listening to what Duan Long said, Liuli stopped clapping his hand, then looked at him with a funny look on his face, and said, "Why are you protecting me so much, you can't really take a fancy to me, right?" ”
Listening to Liuli's words, Duan Long was instantly stunned. For a moment, he thought that she was questioning him, and that if he answered what he had to answer, he would have a good outcome. It's a pity that a qiē is what he thinks.
Before Duan Long wanted to speak, Liuli laughed out loud, startling Duan Long. Then he glanced at Duan Long's puzzled expression, and said with a smile: "I'm joking with you, look at your serious appearance." ”
It turned out to be just a joke. Duan Long smiled bitterly, then lowered his head, took a sip of wine, and when he raised his head again, he found that the singers had finished singing a cycle and were ready to rest for a while, and after they stepped down, the entire bar was quiet.
Duan Long looked at Liuli's appearance, thought for a while and said, "Xiaoli, what's wrong today?" I see that when you go in the morning, your love is not very good, is there any problem? ”
Listening to Duan Long's words, Liuli was not surprised, she had long known that Duan Long would ask this, after all, in her opinion, Duan Long would ask for a drink with her just to find out what was going on in her morning.
"Let's not talk about me, Duan Long, don't you have a story to tell me?"
Listening to what Liuli said, Duan Long remembered that he had indeed said that he wanted to talk to Liuli about himself, but he had never found a suitable opportunity, and today, since she asked, he just took this opportunity to tell her.
After all, there are some things that Duan Long doesn't want to hold in his heart for the rest of his life, in fact, sometimes, even if he is as arrogant as a dragon, he also hopes to have someone who can talk and drink together.
"Liuli, before I talk about it, let me ask you a question, is there you in that group of people today?"
Duan Long was halfway through his words, but Liuli naturally understood what he meant. When I was eating today, the scene was already very direct, if Duan Long couldn't see it, then it was really too low emotional intelligence.
However, it stands to reason that even if you know this kind of thing, you should only be able to hold it in your stomach, how can you ask it directly? Moreover, the most important thing is, in what capacity did Duan Long ask?
Glancing at Duan Long, Liuli's face changed slightly, and his eyes became a little cold, and these were naturally seen by Duan Long, so he thought for a while and said, "Forget it, when I talk too much, don't say it if you don't want to say it." ”
After speaking, Duan Long took a big sip of wine, and then began his story.
"When I was eighteen years old, for my third brother, that is, the Xiaoyang you saw today, he was robbed and often bullied, so one day in order to help him avenge, I went to find the person who bullied him, and then, I stabbed him by mistake", speaking of this, Duan Long seemed to think of his former youth and frivolity, paused, and continued: "In order to avoid the lawsuit, I had to take some money and go abroad. ”
Hearing this, Ruri nodded, and then took a sip of wine. The last time she quarreled with Duan Long over the student's business, she had heard Duan Long talk about it more or less, so she was still a little mentally prepared.
"If you say why you went abroad, then I can only say", as he said, Duan Long showed a wry smile and said: "It was still the age when the moon was relatively round in foreign countries. ”
Liuli chuckled, and then saw that the singers started singing again, so he picked up the wine bottle again, and this time, Duan Longyan quickly raised his wine bottle high, and then went to touch Liuli's wine bottle, and after the two wine bottles collided in the air, they signaled to the singers together.
Liuli was stunned for a moment, looked at Duan Long who stretched out the wine bottle, and then chuckled. The singers on the stage saw the gesture of the two and happily folded their hands to express their gratitude.
"You said that you have only been back home for a few days, does that mean that you have been abroad for ten years?"
Duan Long nodded, and then continued: "Ten years, a full ten years, have made me what I am today, haha. ”
As he spoke, Duan Long laughed, then took another big sip of wine, then lit a cigarette, took a puff, and spit out a smoke ring.
"After I ran abroad, I found that it was really not as easy as it was said on TV and the news to leave my hometown and run so far to work alone", speaking of this, Duan Long paused, then took a puff of cigarette and continued: "In fact, a Chinese person, in that era, ran to country M, if you have the ability to do well, it's okay, but if not, you want to start from the grassroots level and work hard step by step, you will find that you may not even be able to take this first step." ”
Listening to Duan Long's words, Liuli nodded, and said: "Indeed, my father also mixed abroad at that time, and although he was not bad later, he was very touched by the experience at the beginning stage, even now, and it is difficult for you to be alone, and you can be mixed like this." ”
Listening to Liuli's words, Duan Long chuckled lightly and said, "Now like this? What is it now? ”
"Now this poor mouth, if you are in the mood to be poor, it means that you are not bad."
After speaking, the two laughed at the same time, and then Duan Long suppressed his laughter, took another puff of cigarette, and continued to talk.
"Sometimes, the ability to make fun in suffering can only be learned when it is really bitter and there is no way to do it. I have been able to get to this point, in fact, I have to thank one person, my third brother, Yang Zhao. ”
White Tiger Yang Zhao, the third of the six famous swords in the Sword Battalion, is a person who makes people can't imagine that he will be a top mercenary after watching it, and in fact, he was just a cook before.
"At that time, I was desperate, no store was willing to ask me and help me, and finally, in desperation, I found a Chinese settlement, and then met my third brother in a home-cooked restaurant there, and then he gave me two large bowls of rice and two dishes. After that, we went away together. ”
Liuli looked at him with some puzzled meaning in his eyes, and then asked, "He, glass?" ”
Duan Long couldn't help laughing, then waved his hand and said, "Because I ate him for a month, and I don't have any money to give him." ”
Listening to this answer, Ruri wanted to laugh a little, but continued to listen.
He said that even in the most difficult times, I didn't think about begging, cheating, or robbing, but with this perseverance and dignity, he was willing to take me in. However, I didn't come out to find someone to take me in. ”
Duan Long took one last puff, then extinguished his cigarette and continued: "The day I went abroad, I told my parents: 'I'm not going to take refuge, I'm going to open up my new world, so I won't come back if I don't make a name for myself', so I still left with my third brother." ”
Hearing this, Liuli took a sip of wine, and then asked, "Is he so willing to go with you?" ”
"I burned down his storefront."
The words of understatement made Liuli stunned for a moment, and then turned his head and looked at Duan Long in confusion.
"Heh, I haven't found out yet, you can take revenge on your benefactor."
Hearing Liuli say this, Duan Long smiled, and then said slowly: "He is Yang Zhao, so he is destined to be extraordinary, how can he be a cook for the rest of his life, so even if he scolds him for a month, I will take him away." ”
Hearing this, Liuli was still noncommittal, took a sip of wine, and did not answer. And Duan Long didn't look at her expression, just chuckled lightly and continued: "Actually, every time I talked about this matter later, the three of them would say, 'You buried Yang Zhao, but at the same time created the White Tiger'. ”
Liuli suddenly heard the word white tiger, then her body trembled, and she looked at Duan Long with some surprise, and then found that the other party was not looking at her, so she quickly eased her mind and returned to normal.
"White Tiger, is that his nickname?"
Duan Long knew that Liuli was tricking him, but since he was already planning to tell her and Pan, he didn't think about hiding anything.
"It should be said that it is a code name, because we don't use our real names, since the day you joined there, your name is just a thing of the past, unless one day you have the ability to leave there, otherwise, your code name is your name for the rest of your life."
Hearing this, Liuli was thoughtful, and then asked tentatively: "You went to the special forces unit?" ”
Duan Long chuckled lightly and said, "On the contrary, I'm going to the mercenary world. ”
Hearing this, Liuli was stunned again, and then asked: "It turned out to be a mercenary, hmph, no wonder you are as murderous as the king of Hades, it turns out that you are the kind of person who lives by killing people all day long,"
Duan Long turned his head to look at Liuli, his expression was extremely flat, but Liuli was not very comfortable looking at it, and after a long time, she finally couldn't help it, she asked, "What are you looking at?" ”
"I was thinking you were so smart that you could guess my nickname."
Hearing this, Liuli was slightly stunned, and then stopped caring about him. Duan Long saw that Liuli took another sip of wine, didn't look at him again, chuckled, and continued: "My code name is Qinglong, but my clients, targets, and peers like to call me Half-Lived Yan Jun. ”
With a "bang", the wine bottle in Liuli's hand fell to the ground and then shattered. The guests present all heard the reputation, while Duan Long smiled and waved his hand, signaling that it was okay, while the bartender in the bar hurried over and cleaned up all the broken glass.
Seeing that the person was gone, Duan Long said, "Have you guessed my identity?" ”
Liuli took another bottle of wine, and then turned her head sharply to look at Duan Long, with a strange brilliance in her eyes.
"I didn't expect you to be one of the six famous swords of the dignified sword battalion mercenary group, really, Duan Long, I underestimated you before."
Duan Long laughed, and then said, "Then what did you think of me before?" ”
"I used to only think that you were a retired special forces soldier abroad, or a young master of a big force in the underworld, but I didn't expect that you would be a half-life Yan Jun Qinglong."
"How do you know so much about the Sword Camp?"
Ruri turned her head away, and then said slowly, "My dad is your former customer. ”
Hearing her say this, Duan Long was stunned for a moment, and then thought that Liuli had said that his father had been in the foreign country, so it was possible to have business dealings with the Sword Camp.
"It turns out that we are really very fateful, haha."
