Chapter Seventy-One: I Don't Like Fighting, But I'm Not Afraid
At dusk. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the inn room, Mo Bai was still holding a lotus flower, and his treasure was solemn, sitting cross-legged on the bed and motionless.
Taoist Qi refining, although there has never been a clear proof that the giant really broke through the sky and soared, but this Qi refining technique can still be passed down for so long, it makes sense.
After this afternoon's hard work, Mo Bai's complexion at the moment, although still pale and sickly, is obviously much better than before.
The room was quiet, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps at the door, Mo Bai frowned slightly, and opened his eyes to look at the door.
"Knock knock!" At this time, I heard a knock at the door, and Xiao Er's polite voice: "Guest officer, it's dinner time, do you need our restaurant to deliver food for you?" ”
The lotus flower in Mo Bai's hand dispersed, and he glanced back at the window, the sun had set, and there was a slight pause in his eyes, and Tie Xiong didn't seem to have come back yet.
After a little hesitation, he raised his head and said to the door: "Send a few light side dishes!" ”
"Okay, there are still good old liquor ...... in this store" Xiao Er was not approved, and he didn't enter the door, so he stood at the door and said.
"Okay, send a pot!" Mo Bai couldn't drink, but he didn't shirk and still said softly.
"Okay, you rest, good wine and food, I'll be there soon!" After Xiao Er sang loudly and made peace, he walked away.
Mo Bai stretched his arm, slowly got out of bed, looked at the slightly dim environment in the room, then came to the window, opened a slit, and looked out.
Tetsuo hadn't returned yet, and he wasn't in a hurry.
Through these days, he knows a little bit about Tiexiong, as long as there is no problem, he must not break his word.
At this time, he was standing by the window, looking at the peddlers and pawns downstairs passing by, but unconsciously a figure suddenly appeared in his mind, it was a little girl with two pigtails and plain clothes, waving at him with tears: "Brother......"
Mo Bai was stunned, slowly came back to his senses, felt the strong ripples in his heart, his eyes slowly calmed down, and the corners of his mouth opened slightly: "This Ming King looks chaotic, but in fact, there are really people in his heart." ”
When he woke up in Beihe that day, he had some intermittent pictures in his mind, perhaps just some of the deepest obsessions in King Ming's heart, and finally stayed.
Among them, the clearest thing is the appearance of the little girl in his mind, Mo Bai's eyes flashed, and he whispered again: "When I settle down and my health is a little better, I have to look for Qingqing." ”
The words fell, and there was another sound of footsteps at the door.
Mo Bai's eyes moved, and he turned to look at the door, he heard that it was not Xiao Er, but Tie Xiong.
Waiting for him to knock on the door and enter, but he didn't want to, the footsteps reached the door, but he seemed to hesitate, and didn't knock immediately.
Mo Bai's eyes were stunned, but he didn't make a sound, thinking that there was something at the door.
But after waiting for a while, I still didn't see anything.
Instead, he vaguely heard Tie Xiong seem to be pacing back and forth at the door, although his steps were slight, but at this time, Mo Bai was fully concerned, and he could still hear it.
A trace of doubt flashed in Mo Bai's eyes, and he thought for a moment, then slowly walked towards the chair by the table.
Sure enough, as his footsteps sounded, the sound of gently pacing back and forth outside the door suddenly stopped.
Mo Bai's expression calmed down, he pulled out a chair and sat down, only to hear Tie Xiong's voice coming from the door: "Sixth Master!" ”
"Well, come in!" Mo Bai said softly.
The door opened, Tie Xiong's figure appeared, Mo Bai's eyes glanced at his face, a cursory glance, there was nothing unusual, but Mo Bai was good at wiping words and looks, but at this moment, he saw that there was a trace of sadness between Tie Xiong's eyebrows.
"It's back!" Mo Bai picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and said softly at the corner of his mouth.
"Yes." Tie Xiong nodded, turned around and wanted to close the door, but just saw Xiao Er coming this way, and said to him in his mouth: "Hey, this master, your wine and food are here!" ”
Tie Xiong was stunned.
Mo Bai raised his head and said softly: "Well, I ordered it!" ”
Tie Xiong didn't let Xiao'er enter the door, took the wine and food, closed the door, and brought it in himself.
"Sixth Master, I see that your complexion is much better, can you already drink?" Tie Xiong took the plate and put it on the table, his eyes fixed on Mo Bai's face, and then spoke.
Mo Bai smiled slightly, picked up the teacup, shook his head and said, "You can't touch wine within a year!" ”
One year!
Tie Xiong's eyes suddenly flashed with bitterness, of course he hoped that Mo Bai's body had improved, so that it would be easier to face.
"Have you eaten it?" Mo Bai didn't seem to notice what he was thinking, and asked softly.
"I've already eaten it." Tie Xiong nodded, although he said that he had eaten, he still picked up a pair of chopsticks and tried the dishes for Mo Bai first.
Mo Bai didn't say much when he saw this, along the way before, Tie Xiong had tried the dishes with a silver needle, Mo Bai once shook his head with a smile, saying that it was useless, and many poisons could not be tested by silver needles.
Mo Bai is a doctor, and Tie Xiong still agrees with his words, but then he doesn't do nothing, but manually tries the dishes.
This is even more useless, after all, if it is a chronic poison, how can this be tried, but Tie Xiong insisted, and Mo Bai didn't say much after that.
"Have you seen Ning'er?" Mo Bai asked softly.
"I've seen it, Ah Jiu is also there." Tetsuo finished tasting the dish and nodded.
"Well, has Ning'er's injuries ever healed?" Mo Bai picked up the chopsticks and continued to ask.
"Sixth master, don't worry, it's no big deal." Tetsuo stood aside and replied softly.
"That's good, I'll take a look at her when I see her, but it's just a traumatic injury, and there won't be any problems with proper recuperation." Mo Bai said while eating.
"Sixth Master Xie!" Tetsuo thanked him.
The room fell silent, and Mo Bai stopped talking, as if he had forgotten to ask Tetsuo about his friends, eating quietly.
For a long time, when he finished his meal, Tetsuo still didn't speak.
Seeing that he was going to clean up the table after eating, Mo Bai smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, sit down first." ”
Tie Xiong paused, but he didn't sit down, and under the ups and downs of thoughts in his eyes, he finally gritted his teeth and bowed down and spoke: "Sixth Master, there is something, I ......"
Mo Bai still smiled and said, "Don't worry, just say it!" ”
From Tie Xiong's posture at the door, he knew that there must be a situation, Tie Xiong is very calm and does things in a certain way, and he usually does not have such a hesitant posture.
It's just that at this time, Mo Bai had some misunderstandings in his heart, and he thought that it was Tie Xiong's friends who didn't want to get involved in his affairs anymore, so Tie Xiong felt embarrassed.
But he didn't want to, Tie Xiong hesitated for a while and then said, "Sixth Master...... The belongings we brought out from the Ming Palace, as well as the two carts of medicinal herbs...... It's all gone! ”
Mo Bai's originally smiling face suddenly struck at his words.
Seeing Mo Bai's expression, Tie Xiong's eyes were even more bitter, and he knelt on one knee without saying a word: "Sixth Master, please rest assured, no matter what, Tie Xiong will definitely be responsible for this, I only implore His Highness to be lenient for a while, and let us find a way to ......"
"Wait!" Before he finished his words, Mo Bai's voice had already sounded, but it was still so indifferent.
Tetsuo lowered his head and closed his mouth.
"You get up first!" Mo Bai said again.
Tie Xiong was silent for a moment, but he still stood up, after all, he couldn't do it if he knelt on the ground and played tricks.
Mo Bai picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, but he didn't speak immediately, but waited quietly for a while, and when both parties calmed down, he said softly: "Tiexiong, do you think my life is important, or are those things important?" ”
Tie Xiong paused, raised his head but immediately said categorically: "Of course, your life is more important, but one is one, two is two, as a guard, it is my duty to protect your safety." ”
Mo Bai put down the teacup, did not refute his words, raised his head and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, those friends of yours have also protected me well, they have no duties, those things, just be paid, it is not as important as my life." ”
Mo Bai didn't know that Tie Xiong had to enter the palace before, so he was able to help his brothers and sisters in those two years, which made them live a little better in those two years.
Therefore, Tie Xiong thinks that this is due to the love of the palace, so the brothers will help him.
Tie Xiong didn't think about this at the moment, but his face suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Sixth Master, please don't misunderstand, my teacher ......"
After saying a while, but at this moment, it seemed that he had let go, and there was no need to hide anything: "Those people are all my fellow disciples and brothers, even if they starve to death, they will never be able to do such a dirty thing as embezzling your property." It's just, it's just ......"
Tie Xiong was anxious, but he wanted to explain, but he couldn't, because in fact, his senior brother did use his white belongings for everyone's safety, how can he say that he can't starve to death?
But Mo Bai heard Tie Xiong say this, but his eyes suddenly relaxed, in fact, he did tighten his heart just now, but it was not property, but these people were able to do this kind of thing, it must have been his mistake before, thinking that Tie Xiong was sure of them, and now, if these people are not righteous men, then they can't say that they have come to Linhai, and it is difficult to be peaceful, who can guarantee that they will not sell themselves and leak out?
Hearing another reason at this moment, Mo Bai's heart was relieved, and he said, "Don't worry, speak slowly!" ”
Perhaps Mo Bai has always been at ease, so that Tie Xiong did not encounter the embarrassing situation that he had already envisioned, and he finally calmed down a little and explained the matter from beginning to end.
Even this time he didn't hide his family feud, of course, he also mentioned some things with the government, but in the face of Mo Bai, he didn't say it too bluntly, just to explain why his brothers would use his belongings when they thought that he Mo Bai was dead.
is not only Mo Bai's previous confession, but also because over the years, they have not been on good terms with the government, and they have been embarrassed by the government, and Mo Bai is dead, these things are ownerless, or they belong to the official, and they don't feel that they will owe the official family if they use it.
After listening to so much, Mo Bai was already able to understand the whole situation, nodded and said softly: "I see!" ”
To be honest, at this moment, he looked at Tie Xiong, and his heart was even more moved, being able to protect his life in this situation so far, this is not something ordinary people can do, he really didn't look at the wrong person.
At the same time, he also understood that Tiexiong's senior brothers were different from Tiexiong.
They have never entered the palace, and Mo Bai's life and death have nothing to do with those people at all, but it is only because of Tiexiong and Ning'er, and the kindness of the palace that they inherited before, that they were contaminated into this whirlpool.
"Sixth master, that's the way it is, my brothers are by no means the kind of chickens and dogs who steal, don't worry, as long as we don't die, the debt will not be eliminated, even if we can't afford to pay it back in this life, our children and grandchildren can't pay it back, and our children and grandchildren can't afford to pay it back, and our children and grandchildren have to pay it back!" Tetsuo raised his head, his voice solemn without a hint of ambiguity.
Mo Bai waved his hand lightly and said, "Don't say this again!" ”
Tetsuo looked at him as if he really didn't care, and was silent, no longer speaking, but in his heart, he really thought so.
Mo Bai stood up and walked to the window, looked out the window, and began to think about the information revealed in the paragraph just now.
In fact, he is really not pretentious, although these belongings are really important to him, especially those medicinal materials, after all, this is related to whether his body can recover, and now that it is gone, it will undoubtedly become his urgent need.
But he wasn't the kind of person who relied on others for everything, and he was forced to do so before. And now that he is free, not to mention those belongings, even if Tie Xiong does not return today, he will not be at a loss.
Not to mention anything else, he still has a craft in the end, if he just wants to live, he is really not afraid.
After pondering for a long time, he slowly turned around and looked at Tie Xiong, his eyes were still light, but he said: "Tie Xiong, I didn't know a lot of things before, so this time I came over, I was originally going to make peace with your senior brothers, after all, they helped me, I can't see them getting into trouble, so I don't care." So I thought that as long as I was a little better, I would naturally return them a peace and repay this kindness, and I had already made a decision when I heard you mention the family feud before, and I would not sit idly by. ”
"Sixth master, we are repaying the favor." Tie Xiong said in a deep voice.
Mo Bai shook his head, smiled and continued: "You have clear grievances, how can I not know what to do?" So even if your brothers take those things, I won't mind, and it will be regarded as this kindness, for me, money is not more important than my life after all. ”
Tetsuo didn't know what to say, but there was one thing he remembered, no matter what, he had to carry the debt.
Mo Bai didn't finish speaking, the smile on his face disappeared, his expression was straight, and his voice was slightly low: "However, now that I know your senior brother's attitude towards me, these enmities and enmities entangled between us will end here, and they don't mention any debts or debts, and I won't mention any more favors or nots, we only talk about affection between us, regardless of grievances and hatreds, we are all relaxed, and we will no longer worry about it, do you think it's good?" ”
Tetsuo opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
He will never shirk this responsibility, but it seems that taking this responsibility also makes Mo Bai take responsibility.
After thinking for a while, Tie Xiong found his head, raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Sixth Master, it's not like this, if you want to talk about kindness, you saved Ning'er at the beginning, you were kind to us, and then you were in trouble, and we didn't be able to help you......"
"Alright, that's it." Mo Bai raised his hand to stop him from talking, and his voice took on a bit of momentum: "Between them, it's not so complicated. The rest is between me, you, and Ning'er. ”
Tie Xiong was stunned again, he also completely understood what Mo Bai meant, obviously Mo Bai didn't want to be involved anymore after hearing the attitude of his senior brothers.
He was silent for a while, but finally nodded, because the senior brothers were also not intimate with King Ming, and they were forcibly involved, so it was better to be separated, but this did not mean that he had to evade responsibility, and still said: "Sixth master, you left this matter to me, if something goes wrong, I will definitely bear it." ”
Mo Bai turned around, opened the window again, looked at the night sky that had already darkened, and his voice was a little ethereal: "Okay, I have also walked on the rivers and lakes, and I have never suffered a loss...... I don't like fighting, but I've never been afraid of it! ”
