Chapter 101: Uncle Lian's Secret
By the time I finished freshening up, it was not yet eight o'clock. It was still so early, Chen Zui lay on the bed without any sleep, thinking that this is the end of tonight?
Chen Zui guessed that Li Chengjing must not have gone to bed so early, so he wanted to go to her. It's dark outside at this point, so where can you go outside? Go straight to her room? At night, it is even more inconvenient for two people to be in the same room. I couldn't figure out what to do after half an hour.
However, the more I lay down, the more bored I felt, and I couldn't take care of it anymore, even if the two of them went outside to see the stars together again, it would be better than lying down like this tonight.
turned over and got out of bed, walked out of the door, and knocked on Li Chengjing's door. Li Chengjing opened the door very quickly, and sure enough, she didn't go to bed.
"Chengjing, let's go down and take a walk, otherwise we can't stay in the room so early."
"Hmm." Li Chengjing nodded. It turned out that she was unfamiliar with life, and she couldn't sit still in the room, and she firmly believed that Chen Zui would definitely come over and ask her to go out.
When you go downstairs, the front door is closed, and the side and back doors are indeed ajar. They did not dare to trespass through the back door of other people's houses, so they only walked out through the side door.
Looking up at the stars in the sky still shining so brightly, the two were about to go to the dock, enjoying the night sea breeze while looking at the stars in the sky. With their guts, there was nothing to worry about no matter how dark the night was, and the shadow of the moonlight was enough to shine on them.
After walking two steps, I heard the sound of a quarrel on the right, and everyone was scolding, all of which were filthy and vulgar words, which were annoying to hear. If you scold two more words, you're about to do it.
They walked over to the flowers and crouched down, the moonlight shining on their group. The two parties who quarreled had three on one side and four on the other. When they came, there was already a quarrel on the other side, and I could only hear that they were arguing fiercely, and I didn't understand why they were arguing. But they look like nothing more than a feud between ordinary people, and it is by no means a gang dispute like the one seen during the day.
After squatting for less than a minute, the opposite side was already fighting, and it was also an ordinary man's scuffle. But the more they fight, the more fierce they become, and it really means that they have to fight desperately if they continue to fight.
During the day, they saw the two factions fighting, and out of righteousness, they came to their aid. This kind of private quarrel is different, if they go out casually to intervene, it is not good that both sides will be hostile to their two at the same time. With Er's skills, he is not afraid of them, and it is not difficult to beat them to obedience.
It's just that their personal grievances have nothing to do with justice, and their intervention is purely nosy. They are not troublemakers, and they really don't feel the need to get involved in such pointless disputes.
After looking at it for a while, suddenly a white light flashed on the ground, and someone actually had a short knife hidden on his body. If the fight continues, some people will inevitably be killed or injured, and if the trouble reaches this point, should it intervene?
Chen was intoxicated with kindness and righteousness, and didn't want to see them get hurt or even killed on the spot. These are just ordinary reckless people, even if they have a blade in their hands, they will never hurt the two of them. looked at Li Chengjing in the dark, meaning that they went out together to stop them.
The two were about to come forward, when a loud shout suddenly came from behind them: "Stop, it's too unreasonable for you to gather a crowd to fight at night, stop it all for me." ”
Everyone was stunned, and saw that the person who came was the cook here, and left him alone to continue their fight. Only the two of them noticed that Uncle Lian was running towards them with a very fast pace, so fast that it was not commensurate with his huge body.
As they faced each other, they struck out with both hands, grabbed the wrists of two of them respectively, and heard the sound of blades falling to the ground. In the dark, he can hit with one hit, which is really powerful. Follow his body to the middle, separating the people on both sides.
They were all red-eyed, and they all regarded Uncle Lian as the opposite person, so that the seven of them suddenly had the same hatred, and all of them were fists and kicks towards Uncle Lian.
Chen Li and the others saw that Uncle Lian's empty-handed snatching blade was accurate, his arm strength was strong, and in terms of fists and feet, those seven people were still not his opponents.
Even the uncle's body didn't move, only pushing left and right with both hands, not only could those people not hurt him with their fists and feet, but they couldn't help but take a few steps backwards when pushed by him, and almost fell. This is obviously Uncle Lian's mercy, hoping that they will retreat in the face of difficulties.
And they were blinded by anger, and they greeted Uncle Lian more and more fiercely. Uncle Lian knew that if he didn't let them suffer a little, tonight's matter would be difficult to make a good decision, and they added their fists and kicks again, but they were all pushed back vigorously by Uncle Lian, his body still didn't move, and they all fell to the ground.
A few of them were still not convinced, got up and rubbed their bodies and got up, but they were still pushed by him and fell to the ground again, and it hurt two points more than the previous time.
After falling down twice, they also came to their senses, knowing that in front of this fat cook, they would not be able to get the slightest benefit, and if they continued to entangle, they would only be embarrassed now.
At this time, even the uncle was a little annoyed, "If you don't know what to do, no one should go back to the inn to sleep tonight, and I will return the money to you." ”
They noticed that Uncle Lian was really angry, and their hearts were terrified, if he really didn't let them in, the few people here combined would not be able to beat him, and they didn't know if they should make a compensatory deal with him for a while.
The island is cold, and the wind at night is whistling from all sides, and it is better to apologize and lose face than to stand outside and blow the wind in the cold at night. This is his territory, they are making trouble here, and they should have taken care of the loss first, and apologizing is a kind of virtue that can be corrected.
Thinking about it like this, I felt much more comfortable in my heart, and I was about to apologize, but even the uncle said, "You either go back to sleep now, or you all stay here." "Turn around and want to go in first.
They bowed their respects and walked briskly past him.
They all honestly entered the inn, and even the uncle was still standing there. Chen and Li were about to get up, and Uncle Lian said first: "Come out, two of you." ”
The two stood up and looked at Uncle Lian with admiration, he was not only fast, but also so good at his skills, he would never lose to Instructor Liu.
"Why don't you hide there and stop them from fighting? Even if it's none of your business, as students of a military academy, you should also have a heart of benevolence and righteousness. ”
Li Chengjing said: "We were trying to come forward at the time, but at this time, Uncle Lian had already come out to stop them, and Uncle Lian's skills were too fast, so there was really no room for us to make a move." ”
Chen Zui said: "Uncle Lian is really hidden, it's not that we are touting you, even if our Instructor Liu is here tonight, he may not be your opponent." ”
Li Chengjing asked: "Even the uncle should also be from the military academy, and the principal arranged for you to be a cook on this island, which is a bit condescending." ”
Uncle Lian smiled and said, "It's not the principal who wants to send me, it's me who took the initiative to receive this errand." ”
"Yourself?" Both of them were surprised, even the skills of an uncle were more than enough to be a general in the army, how could he be willing to come here to be a cook, and his age was not yet enough to live on the island.
"You two can't sleep at night, so let's come out and talk to each other."
The two smiled and nodded.
Uncle Lian said: "I was drinking in the backyard just now, and I heard a lot of noise outside, so I came out to take a look, and as soon as I came out, I saw them fighting...... Do you want to continue to enjoy the flowers and the moon here, or are you willing to come in and have a drink with me? ”
Even the uncle walked in, and they followed him in.
If they had gone to the backyard first and heard the movement outside, they would have taken the first step to level them out, and they would not have known that Uncle Lian was a hidden master.
There is a rectangular wooden table in the backyard, the moonlight shines softly on the tabletop, there is a pot of wine on the table, a wine glass, even the uncle just drank alone, facing the moonlight, "Raise a glass to invite the bright moon, and the shadow becomes three people." ”
After they came in, Uncle Lian came up with two more wine glasses under the cabinet at the door, just three people, and there was no need to get along with the shadow moon.
As soon as Uncle Lian put down the glass, Chen Zui took the initiative to pick up the wine jug and poured a glass for everyone. Uncle Lian nodded and commended him for his courtesy. "You're going to graduate in a month, before you graduate, there is still one last test waiting for you, as long as you pass the last hurdle, you will graduate with the grades of the top soldiers, come, I wish you success." The three of them had a drink together.
Chen Zui asked humbly: "Even Uncle should know what this last level is, is it much more difficult than the previous levels?" ”
Uncle Lian said: "Acquaintance is always fate, but I am also a member of the school, and I can only tell you that there is still one last level, but what it is cannot be leaked to you." Suddenly, he frowned again and said, "I now solemnly warn you that the test of the last level is life-threatening, and you need to be extremely careful." ”
Li Chengjing said: "Thank you Uncle Lian for your advice, we naturally won't ask you to cheat for us." It's just that we are still curious, how can you be willing to be a chef on this island with your ability? I don't know if it's inconvenient to disclose a thing or two. ”
Chen drunk and poured wine again, and they drank a second glass. Uncle Lian looked up at the bright moon in the sky, "It doesn't matter what you say, your Instructor Liu, Minister Xie and I, in fact, the three of us are brothers in the same sect, just like you, and later joined the army together, and were born and died together in large and small battles, and even the establishment of the Guicheng Military Academy, the three of us were also involved." ”
Chen Zui smiled and said: "I see, then according to the seniority, we should call you Uncle Lian or Uncle Lian, but I don't know who is the brother and who is the younger brother between you and Instructor Liu?" ”
Uncle Lian only smiled and didn't answer.
Li Chengjing said: "Then why did Instructor Liu and Minister Xie stay in the military academy later, and you came here again?" ”
Uncle Lian picked up the flask and poured it into his own glass, then drank a glass of himself, sighed lightly, and seemed to think of a past that had been dusty for many years.
