Chapter 8 Making Friends
Zhong Mu didn't want to hide it, and said frankly: "I came to you on purpose." ”
The man just said "oh", not surprised, he put his hands around his chest, and asked him with great interest: "You and I don't know each other, what is the matter with me?" ”
"It's because we never knew each other that I made a special trip to visit." Zhong Mu politely saluted before reporting his name, "Zhong Mu from Xueqi Villa below, dare to ask Gongzi's surname?" ”
Zhong Mu knew that Cao Hao had been rejected once in the lobby before, and now when he asked for his name again, he was still quite apprehensive in his heart, if he was rejected......
However, the man was not in a hurry to answer his question.
"Snow Seven Villa? The second major school of today's martial arts, everyone admires it in the rivers and lakes. The current owner, Zhong Zhiye, is domineering and mighty, and acts in a timely manner. Ten years ago, in order to save the people of Liyin, he resisted the pursuit of hundreds of bandits with the strength of one person, and he was a hero among the people. Seeing that you are dressed noblely, with a gentle and polite appearance, you must be Zhong Zhiye's eldest son. The man glanced Zhong Mu up and down, and said indifferently.
Men also know about the six major schools in the martial arts, and he has also heard about Zhong Zhiye's family affairs. Zhong Zhuang has a total of two sons, the eldest son Zhong Mu is gentle and elegant, dignified, outstanding in martial arts, is already better than the blue, and is deeply loved by Zhong Zhiye, and he is the future owner of the village; The youngest son Zhong Nan is still young, more naughty and mischievous, usually likes to drink, and his martial arts are not weak, because he is busy with affairs, so Zhong Zhiye usually doesn't care about him, which is also the reason why he can live so chic.
Zhong Mu Wenrun responded: "What the son said is right, his father is the owner of Xueqi Villa." ”
"Li Yi, fortunately." The man stretched out his hand and clenched his fist and simply reported his name, and Zhong Mu also stretched out his hand and clenched his fist in return, secretly relieved.
Li Yi paced to the fence of the courtyard, leaned against the big column on the edge of the corridor with his back leaning, crossed his arms, and looked chic, full of chivalrous demeanor, looking at him with clear eyes.
Zhong Mu followed him to the fence and asked him, "Dare to ask Li Yi Gongzi if he wants to go to Jiangling?" ”
"Hmmm! Not bad. Li Yi nodded in response, and after his eyes stayed on him for a long time, he withdrew his gaze and looked sideways at the flowers and plants in the backyard.
"Zhong Mu was on the second floor, and I saw you saving an old man and a young child, it can be seen that Li Yi Gongzi is a hot-blooded person, and he is going to Jiangling to participate in the Yijian Tour, right? If you don't mind, would you like to walk with me? Zhong Mu sincerely sent out an invitation to make him a friend.
"Thank you Zhong Gongzi for your kindness, it's just that we are used to idle clouds and wild cranes, and if we go on the road together, I'm afraid there will be a lot of inconvenience, so I won't bother." Li Yi bluntly refused.
"Oh! Zhong Mu just felt that he was very close to Li Yigongzi, and since this was the case, Zhong Mu was abrupt. Zhong Mu bowed apologetically.
Zhong Mu was not very surprised by his rejection, but he really wanted to be friends with him.
"No problem." Li Yi's voice is low and intoxicating, and his complexion is white, and he is even more white and shiny under the moonlight.
"Zhong Mu feels very sorry for not being able to go with Li Yi Gongzi, forgive Zhong Mu for taking the liberty of asking, Li Yi Gongzi is willing to make me a friend?" Zhong Mu asked him gently, still not giving up.
Li Yi turned his head to look at him, "Why did Zhong Gongzi say this?" ”
"It's not a secret, I rarely go out since I was a child, and I don't have any friends around me, and this time I went to Jiangling because of my father's entrustment, and I accompanied him to participate in the Yijian Xing, but I was fortunate to meet Li Yi Gongzi here, which must be the favor of God and the honor of Zhong Mu. I'm not afraid of your jokes, since the first time I saw Li Yigongzi, I felt that you were different from ordinary people, and gave me an inexplicable sense of intimacy, as if we had known each other before. Zhong Mu looked at him with affection in his eyes, and his words were extremely sincere.
Zhong Mu turned around, followed Li Yi's line of sight, stared at the flowers and plants in his eyes, sighed lightly and said, "In the huge Xueqi Mountain Villa, I don't have a friend who can get along, it's ironic, right?" Maybe it's because they're afraid of my identity and don't dare to approach me easily, or maybe it's because I have a cold personality and don't talk well, so I don't have any confidants and friends. ”
They in Zhong Mu's mouth are disciples in the villa.
He folded his hands behind his back, his eyes were full of loneliness, and his tone was light, as if he was used to it.
"It seems that the rumors are not necessarily true." Li Yi could see that Zhong Mu really hoped to make a close friend who talked about everything, and his lonely back and melancholy temperament were not the same as what Li Yi knew.
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Zhong Mu looked back at him and asked suspiciously.
Li Yi suddenly smiled evilly, came to him and stood still, still clasping his hands on his chest, "You said that you have a cold personality and are not good at talking, but you were not like this just now." ”
Li Yi's words woke up Zhong Mu, and he was shocked, indeed, he was talking eloquently just now, and his tone was also very gentle, which was completely inconsistent with what he said.
In fact, Zhong Mu also thinks it is very strange, he usually only gives people a sense of alienation when talking to his family, when communicating with others, although he is docile on the surface, but the people under him say that he has an indifferent personality, and even some people who have never seen him think he is a mute.
It's no wonder that some people have such thoughts.
It may also be because when there are guests in the village, Zhong Zhiye does it himself, so he only needs to listen quietly on the side, and rarely makes a sound without asking him.
And he has been addicted to classical books all these years, and after dinner, he went to the Houshan bamboo forest where few people go in and out to practice, except for the guy who often delivers meals and the maid who changes clothes, few people have seen him, and it is strange not to make rumors, that is, this trip to Jiangling, other people in the village can see his face.
Now he was able to talk about him to a man he had met twice, and he himself found it novel.
"Thank you Li Yi Gongzi for your guidance, Zhong Mu is grateful." Zhong Mu sincerely thanked him and saluted Li Yi with a fist.
"Zhong Gongzi is serious." Anyway, he didn't point out anything.
Zhong Mu never forgot this matter, and asked again: "Young Master Li Yi hasn't answered my previous question yet." ”
"If we can meet again next time, Zhong Gongzi will definitely become my partner."
"Really?" Zhong Mu had a happy expression on his face, he was very happy in his heart, and after thinking about it, he was afraid that he would regret it, so he hurriedly said: "Then it's okay, Li Yi Gongzi can't regret it, I will look forward to our next meeting." ”
Li Yi nodded, glanced at him, and kept staring at a few weeping willows in the courtyard, blowing in the breeze and flying openly.
