Chapter 18 Men and Women Play Lotus
At Xue'e's request, the two came to Beimu Lake.
Beimu Lake is the largest lake in Qingyang County, with pavilions and boats built on the lake.
At this time, it is late August, and the lotus flowers in the lake have already withered, and the turquoise lotus pods exude a faint fragrance. The breeze blows, and it is intoxicating.
"Brother Changning, will you hold the boat, just the two of us going rowing, okay?"
"Okay."
Luo Changning discussed with one of the boatmen, paid the silver, and the two of them went on a boat trip to the lake.
Ma Xue'e lay on the bow of the boat, playing with the lake water with her hands, her face was reflected in the water, although it was easy to see, a pair of apricot eyes still looked delicate and lovely.
"The book says that each lotus flower blooms for no more than ten days, is it true that beautiful things are fleeting?"
Luo Changning's rowing hand paused, and he thought of his mother again, the beautiful woman dancing under the peach blossom tree, the crazy and melancholy world!
"God is jealous of talents, red faces are fleeting, and things in the world are always so helpless, which makes people too restful."
"I don't want to die, when I die, I can't eat anything delicious anymore, and when I see the people I want to see, how painful it is to be separated by yin and yang." Ma Xue'e turned her head to look at Luo Changning, "I won't die, will I?" ”
The girl looked at herself stubbornly and expectantly, and Luo Changning felt an inexplicable emotion rise in her heart.
"A martial artist can live forever when he cultivates to the peak, but for thousands of years, no one has ever reached that height." He paused, his tone softer, "A hundred years of life is enough, but hundreds of years is too long. As long as...... As long as you do what you want to do, what you have to do, as long as you have no regrets, it is worth dying in the next moment. It's better than living in remorse. ”
This is Luo Changning's true words, in his previous life, he was born disabled, abandoned by his parents, abused by others, and ridiculed and excluded by other orphans. Except for reading, there is simply nothing that can make him happy, and he wishes he would die sooner.
In this life, as long as the great revenge is avenged, you can die without regrets! What's more, my aunt doesn't practice martial arts, and her life span is not long, so what's the fun of him being the only one alive at that time!
"Brother Changning is right, as long as you die well, you will have no regrets. It's Xue'e who is too greedy. She grimaced at Luo Changning and smiled with her pink tongue.
Girls are still greedy to be cute, if they are completely desireless girls, wouldn't they be boring?
The two of them came to the center of the lake, where the lotus flowers bloomed the most, the most beautiful, and the most colorful, and there were many lotus flowers.
Ma Xue'e stretched out her little hand to pick off a few lotus pods, peeled them off, and took out the lotus seeds inside.
"Let's eat together, see if the lotus seeds in the lake are delicious, or the lotus seeds growing in the clear spring in the mountains are delicious."
Luo Changning took the lotus seed and lay on his back on the boat, with blue sky and white clouds, pink lotus and green leaves. It's been a long time since he's been so relaxed and enjoying the scenery, and he just feels a sense of peace in his heart.
Put the lotus seeds in your mouth, they are fragrant and sweet, crisp and delicious.
The fresh lotus seeds that have just been picked only have a faint bitter taste, and if they are left for a long time, if they are not removed, they will be bitter and affect the taste.
"Babble, the sun is really warm, the lotus fragrance is bursting, and the lotus seeds are luscious......"
Ma Xue'e had closed her eyes, indulging in the summer breeze.
"It would be nice if we could be so carefree forever." Luo Changning threw a lotus seed into his mouth, such a leisurely day was really rare, and he didn't want to think about those unhappy things anymore. At this moment, he just wants to accompany this lovely girl next to him who makes him happy.
"Brother Changning, in the future, Xue'e will accompany you to eat lotus seeds in Beimu Lake every year, and the carefree days will never end."
"I hope so." Luo Changning's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his heart was full of tenderness. But he understands that such a life is a luxury after all, he will never stay in Qingyang County forever, perhaps, the day of leaving is not far away!
Although they had eaten lotus seeds, the time for lunch was approaching, and the two of them rocked the boat back to shore.
"Brother Changning, what good restaurant does we have in Qingyang County, I'll treat you." Ma Xue'e patted the small-breasted haughty aura that had not yet developed.
"The largest restaurant in the county is also the Goldman Sachs Restaurant, and the food is acceptable."
Luo Changning never left the welfare home for half a step in his previous life, and he has never been anywhere else in this life, so he doesn't know what the level of the so-called big restaurant is, he only knows that the food made by his aunt is the best, and no one can compare.
The two talked and laughed and walked towards the Goldman Sachs Restaurant, when suddenly a pretended ruffian voice came from in front of them.
"Oh, whose young lady is this, born so smart, much more beautiful than my unemotional cousin!"
It turned out that the skinny monkey Gao Haitian came out again to cause trouble, bullying the weak, and even before his hair grew up, he learned from those sons and brothers to tease women, making himself angry and weird.
"Hmph, you ugly bastard, keep your mouth clean!" Ma Xue'e was chatting happily with Luo Changning when she saw a thin boy with broom eyebrows and dog's eyes looking at her with a smile, and she immediately exploded. She naturally didn't understand the meaning in Gao Haitian's eyes, but instinctively felt disgusted and disgusted.
"Hehe, this young lady doesn't know what to do, it's your blessing to be the concubine of my young master. Ever heard of the Holy Hand Martial Arts Hall? That's our master's family business, and it will be the young master's in the future! ”
Uttering such shameless and obscene words from the mouth of a strong man is really indignant that the world is declining and wild dogs are in charge.
It is said that the people of backward places are simple and simple, and the hearts of the people are pure and good. It seems that this is not the case, bullying the weak and bullying will happen anywhere, and there is no shortage of villains in the world who help and abuse.
This is true on any continent.
"That's right, Miss, you will follow Grandpa Gao and me, and keep you wearing gold and silver, eating and drinking spicy." Gao Haitian was very careful, and followed his subordinates to visit the Qinglou for a lot, so he boasted that he was romantic, and he could not draw a tiger into an anti-dog.
"Remember who I am?" Luo Changning stepped forward, blocked Ma Xue'e behind him, and said in a deep voice.
I didn't expect to see Gao Haitian again so soon, speaking of which, Luo Changning still has to be grateful to him, if it wasn't for him, he wouldn't have gotten the fate of no knife. It's just that I didn't expect him to be so shameless, and he learned to bully men and women at a young age.
The person who molested was Ma Xue'e, who he regarded as his sister, how could Luo Changning not be angry, he was no longer as weak as he was at the beginning, and he would not necessarily lose if he fought hard. It's a good time to practice your hands and see how much progress you have made during this time.
Gao Haitian and a few followers took a closer look, and were immediately furious: "It's you!" You black beggar didn't die! ”
"The sea didn't drown you, it's really a cheap life!" The follower echoes the likes and dislikes of the master, pointing and scolding.
A dog's leg is a dog's leg, destined to look up to people's nose, but I don't know who is as lowly as mud.
"Heh, my brother Ning is not dark at all, he is handsome and extraordinary. It's like you, a skinny monkey, who always stares at the eyes of a double dog, and is ugly. Ma Xue'e laughed, she is simple by nature, she speaks according to her preferences, and she has no regard for the consequences.
"You stinky girl, don't eat and drink when you toast, don't think that it's great to have a little bit of appearance, wait for Grandpa Gao to make you cry and shout and beg me for mercy!"
Gao Haitian has always hated others talking about his appearance, but now she exposed her shortcomings, so she was naturally annoyed and angry, and she couldn't care about pity and cherish the jade. Waving his hand and saying angrily: "Beat that black beggar to me until I am beaten to death." As for this stinky girl, I will take it back to my cousin's house, and be my warmer, room, girl, and head! ”
"Yes, young master."
Four shirtless men rubbed their hands together and walked towards the two of them, with a wicked smile on their faces.
Luo Changning snorted coldly and said to Ma Xue'e: "I'll drag them first, and when you see that the time is wrong, you will escape to find help." ”
"I'm not afraid of them, my kung fu is not in vain. I've never fought with anyone, and today is just the right time to show off my skills, and it's fun! Brother Changning, let's go together. Xue E smiled coquettishly, with a look of eagerness to try.
"Okay, let's go together."
Luo Changning smiled helplessly, he always wanted to protect Ma Xue'e, but he forgot that force in this continent is the standard for measuring strength, and it has nothing to do with age and gender.
It seems that he can't be a hero today, and he can't save the beauty, but the taste of fighting side by side should be good, Luo Changning is eager to try.
"Haha, two yellow-haired children, they can't help our four brothers if they go together."
It turned out that the four shirtless men under Gao Haitian were all members of the family, brothers. It really fulfills the old saying - dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the children of mice will make holes.
"Whether you can beat or not depends on real kung fu, don't bully the poor young man, just because you can't get into my eyes." Ma Xue'e shouted, and pulled out a dark silver soft whip from her waist, "Look at the whip!" ”
