Li Biao slipped into the stove room and saw his second brother sitting on the fire pier in front of the stove. It looks like he's eating, but in fact, he's just pulling the rice grains in the bowl with chopsticks. He hung his head and looked preoccupied.

"Second brother! You're putting salt in your rice - why are you still eating salty (idle) rice? In order to break the silence, Li Biao took out a little of what he wanted from his second brother's mouth by the way, appeared in front of Li Di coldly, and deliberately teased.

"I didn't ...... Not...... I didn't put salt in it......"

At this time, Li Di, who was hiding in the stove, was already thinking about his thoughts, and when he heard Li Biao's teasing, he was suddenly startled, and when he raised his eyes and saw that it was only his brother alone, he said angrily: "As far as you have a lot of trouble, the salt I picked up from the salt field myself, even if I take more food, it will hinder you." ”

"Hehehe...... Don't don't, don't you, second brother, you misunderstood, didn't you. I mean, you're not a big eater at all! To tell the truth, I can also see that as soon as I said the name of the shopkeeper of the 'Wang Ji Teahouse' just now, you looked preoccupied, how could you hide it from my brother's eyes? And I'm sure you must know the shopkeeper Wang Youqing in that teahouse. Li Biao said categorically.

“…… I really don't know. "Don't turn your head away, he's still covering up.

"Are you sure you don't know?" Li Biao reluctantly walked around to the front of his second brother, stared into his eyes and continued to ask.

"......, when did I lie to you?" Li Di showed an innocent look, and then pretended to be very sincere and said to Li Biao.

Li Biao looked at his second brother, he knew the second brother's thoughts, since that time Chen's mother was righteous, the second brother seemed to have changed as if he was a different person, as long as he talked about the current situation with him, he always listened to it with relish, and he also asked himself everything he knew and didn't know about the details. Since then, however, he has become indifferent to the things he was most interested in. It seems that if you want to get something out of his mouth today, you really have to touch his reverse scales, thinking of this, Li Biao deliberately said slowly: "I saw the person you care about the most today......

"Who's ......"

Li Di was instinctively startled, he knew that there must be news of his eldest brother Li Yi again. Since that farewell at the East City Gate, he has not seen his eldest brother for several years, and when he heard his younger brother mention the name Wang Youqing at the dinner table just now, he knew that he must be inextricably linked with his eldest brother, because that night in Shangyi Temple he also heard that Chen Mu say this person's name, but of course he was more concerned about his eldest brother. I haven't seen him for a few years, is he okay? At this time, Li Di was anxious to know the current situation of his eldest brother, so he stared at Li Biao and asked silently.

However, Li Biao was selling Guanzi, and he was halfway through the words.

Li Di pulled the corner of his clothes and asked eagerly, "My good brother, you should say it quickly!" You're in such a hurry. ”

Li Biao looked at the second brother who was very anxious, and he already understood a little in his heart, obviously, the second brother knew that Wang Youqing, and he must have an extraordinary relationship with the mysterious person in the teahouse who had a face with him. But he wanted to know everything that the second brother knew, so he didn't tell him directly according to the second brother's meaning, and still said intentionally: "My good second brother, then you have to tell me who Wang Youqing is first?" ”

Li Di was a little helpless, looking at his reluctant brother, how eager he was to know the answer, while still trying his best to hide his uneasy expression, after thinking about it again and again, he still said indifferently: "I really don't know Wang Youqing...... But I know he's a good guy! We can't afford to lose money doing business with him! ”

Li Biao saw that his brother wanted to speak and stopped, and there was really something in his heart, but it seemed that there was something unspeakable, or was it really unclear? As a brother, of course he knows the temperament of the second brother, as long as it is something he doesn't want to say, you just put a knife on his neck and don't want to force him to say anything valuable, so he doesn't ask anymore, but just says to his second brother a little stupidly: "I see that big brother......"

"Who...... Which big brother? ”

Li Di was taken aback, this was exactly what he wanted to know, he thought, it seemed that everything was still as he thought, but what made him feel very relieved was that the eldest brother was still alive! In these chaotic times, there is nothing better than the joy of knowing that a loved one who has been away for many years is still alive. He knew that the eldest brother Li Biao said must be his own eldest brother, but he still couldn't help but ask, he wanted to confirm that the eldest brother was safe and sound.

Li Biao looked at the startled second brother, and he said leisurely in his mouth, "Which big brother else can there be...... Isn't it the Red Army brother who took us to explore Shangyi Temple at night! ”

"He's alive! - How did I hear that he was killed in Yongxin? ”

As soon as Li Di heard the news of his eldest brother, he was extremely surprised, after all, it was his own brother! It's just that because the eldest brother has confessed, in order not to cause trouble to his family, he must not mention the matter of being a Red Army in front of anyone in the family,—— this matter is still a secret in his heart.

He didn't tell anyone about it. Over the years, he has been thinking about the safety of his eldest brother all the time, and he has always been secretly concerned, after all, brothers and sisters are connected, and brotherhood is deep! Now that after many years, he suddenly heard the news about his eldest brother, how could he let it go, he grabbed Li Biao and asked excitedly: "Then where is he now?" Is he okay? ”

Li Biao was a little dazed by the question, looked at his second brother in a daze, and answered his question intermittently: "I didn't even talk to him...... And he went quietly...... Maybe he's forgotten about me a long time ago......"

"How is that possible, we are all brothers......"

Li Di helped Li Biao and said emotionally, but he reacted immediately, he was stunned for a moment, and found that he had leaked his mouth, so he hurriedly added: "After all, we are all brothers who have lived and died together!" - So where has he been now? ”

"Who knows!" Li Biao replied honestly.

Indeed, he didn't know that this person was his own eldest brother, how could he know about this person's current situation, to be honest, he still wanted to know the secret of this.

At this time, Li Biao supported his chin with one palm, and said thoughtfully: "But...... That day, he seemed to go to the king's shopkeeper to talk about something. ”

Li Di couldn't help but feel a little sad, he regretted that he didn't go to deliver the goods that day, otherwise he would definitely be able to see his eldest brother. However, at the moment, they can only find the king's shopkeeper first, and they must be all the way. Thinking like this in his heart, he also rekindled his hope of finding his eldest brother! But he didn't want to say it explicitly, he just told Li Biao that he would rest at home tomorrow, and he should go out to buy some mountain goods, and then continue to sell salt in Guangdong.

Li Biao agreed, but an imperceptible smile appeared on his face.
