Chapter 241: Life is like a play
Everyone sat down.
The young gang leader is currently the highest status, he sits in the center of the main body, he plays the role of the protagonist, on his left side sits the thirteenth aunt's wife, the second master Xu Liang, Biaozi, and on the other end of the table sit me and Na Jintang, which is the official beginning.
The polite words on the scene still had to be said at the beginning, and the young gang leader led by him happily raised a large bowl of wine, raised it high, and said with an extremely heroic expression: "Sit down again, brothers, our first glass of wine to our alliance friend Little Boss, Mr. Na Jintang, and his wife, congratulations on our long-standing friendship in the rivers and lakes, endless, and making a fortune together!" Drink! With that, he picked up a bowl of wine, raised his head and drank it unceremoniously, his heroism completely indistinguishable that he was a patient.
I was secretly observing him, but at the moment he had the impression that there was nothing wrong with him, not only was there no problem, but he was also a little wise. What's the problem? There is such a big turmoil in this cottage, why does he hold it down and not deal with it? During this period, there was something he had to say secrets, or what he had to say about unspeakable hardships.
In the current situation it is still under observation and is unknown. After telling him to drink his first drink, I secretly observed some of the others. The other people's faces looked like they were fine now, but I only slightly saw that Mrs. Thirteen had an imperceptible nervousness, and she just glanced at the other party a little.
This is really an undercurrent situation.
After the first bowl of wine opened by Cao Kun, the young gang leader, we also learned to raise the wine bowls one after another, because the Jintang didn't let me drink before I came, and I also promised not to drink indiscriminately at the banquet, because after drinking, I was also worried that I would lose control and affect the development of the whole situation in the future.
So I just ate a bowl of boiled water, and I held it up with them decently, and everyone drank together: "Done!" After drinking, he lowered the bowl until he couldn't see a drop of wine.
It is the first bowl to be in the rules of the rivers and lakes, which can be regarded as an opening. Suddenly the atmosphere began to be intense, especially the brothers sitting below, all of them were even more enthusiastic, because everyone was a reckless hero, so it was not a problem to drink at all, a large piece of oil, a big bowl of wine, the whole process was excited.
The meals made today are very coarse, just like their mountain character, serving nothing more than a whole roast whole sheep, a whole roast calf, a whole roasted fish, plus bits and pieces of snacks, picking up a large piece of meat in their hands, tearing it open and eating it without any scruples, this is their passion, their most primitive feeling, like the instinct of life. I like the feeling that they are so unrestrained and heroes of Liangshan, but I don't know that under their simple, ignorant and naΓ―ve extreme loyalty, the pattern on the mountain has already changed, and the greed above has not affected them at all.
They only need to maintain the most primitive loyalty, maybe this is a kind of loyalty, or maybe it is because they have wives, sons and daughters who have been tied to each other here for generations, so there are less calculations and conspiracies between them, and more sincerity and unity that share honor and disgrace.
This is their core strength. If it is really a plate of scattered sand, in fact, if this Niutou Mountain is really forcibly attacked with strong fire and guns, it is not impossible. But what I am afraid of is that I am afraid that people's hearts will gather and unite as one.
In addition, their terrain is also as thrilling as the Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky, which gives them more security protection.
Not only that, you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat.
I don't know how much wealth has been generated by this one and hundreds of years, and how many turbulent rivers and lakes have they experienced in this Cao Canal? But it has not stood down so far because they have maintained close cooperation with the outside world as a family member, resulting in a state of mutual profit. Therefore, no matter which side it is, they acquiesce in and support their existence.
In this kind of ecological link of peace and tranquility, because there are common interests, one link is linked to another, and life and life will never be extinguished. Of course, if there are interests, there will be conflicts, and if there are conflicts, there will be enemies, and if there are enemies, there will be a series of rivers and lakes that are planning events. Who can*? Who can kill whom? It always happens from time to time, just like the Cao gang leader who is now missing and mysterious, and the sick Cao Kun Shao gang leader.
Is it driven by profit? Or a struggle for power.? Who can tell? Or both.
So when I looked at the brothers at the dozen or so tables below, they showed a fierce look at us, but in fact, they were guided by the above, and their simple and innocent faces could not be concealed. They are just chess pieces, and the thief captures the king first, and as long as there is no order from above, everything is fine.
The current game is in a state of equilibrium. But they were not to be taken lightly, for they were drinking happily outside the trench, and their hands were still not off the machetes beside them as they ate large pieces of meat.
Dangerous moments come with you.
While I was thinking about it, the thirteenth aunt first started to attack me. She is as delicate as a pear blossom with rain, her voice is like a drizzle of hazy, and her tone is like honey with sugar, and she murmurs: "Young lady, on behalf of the old gang leader Cao, I respect you two husbands and wives, and I wish you sweetness, kindness and love." A couple for a lifetime. After speaking, she delicately picked up a bowl of wine, seeing that she was weak and couldn't help but look like Lin Daiyu, as if it was so laborious to hold a bowl of wine, she looked at me with a smile, I guess she just saw me drinking boiled water instead of wine.
I don't know how to deal with this temporarily disrupted rhythm, I have to see what Na Jintang means, look at his decision, Na Jintang also picked up the wine in his hand, and said lightly: "My wife can't drink for the time being, isn't this still to blame me, she can't drink anymore, oh, I'll drink three glasses for her!" Na Jin Chang didn't wait for the other party to confirm, and drank it in one gulp with three glasses of wine. After drinking three bowls of wine, there is not a drop of wine left.
Mrs. Thirteen didn't do any more to dwell on this matter, she didn't say a word, picked up the wine glass and raised her head to drink. Judging from their drinking posture, it seems that she is also a master of drinking, her face is not red and her heart is not beating, and she drinks her out of breath.
Her smiling glass was placed on the table, and then someone immediately filled it for her, and she drank two more glasses in a row.
My God, after drinking, her face did not change, her face was still like a peach blossom, looking at the brocade hall with a smile, there was a thousand kinds of style, which made people have to melt in their bones, this is her best job.
I feel that she is provoking me and provoking my status, because judging from her eyes and demeanor, she seems to like that Jintang a little, and that Jintang is completely in the role of a romantic genius, no wonder if the thirteenth aunt is too moved.
Na Jintang curled the corners of his lips and looked at her playfully and smiled. Then, Na Jintang also picked up the second glass of wine, stood up, faced Cao Kun, and then turned to hundreds of brothers, and said loudly: "Thank you for the warm hospitality, thank you for your thoughtful care, thank you for letting our husband and wife play happily here for a few days, here I salute everyone, I will do it first, everyone is at your own convenience!" After speaking, he picked up three bowls of wine, raised his head and drank it heroically, clean and heroic.
"Thank you, little boss!" Hundreds of brothers took the wine and drank it in turn.
Now the whole scene is in a state of joy. , the real is hello, I am hello everyone's good situation. Then it was to let everyone eat together, hundreds of brothers, they were playing fists and drinking, accompanied by some music, gongs and drums were noisy, they didn't care what happened to us at all, just that it was all good, and they didn't let them fight.
On the scene, everyone should say what they should do, or be polite. Aunt Thirteen is always curious about me, and I don't know what kind of reason she has for being curious about me. Or a woman's sensitive feelings, she is hostile to me, the hostility is very small, she doesn't say it, but I can feel it, and I can also feel my sensitivity to her.
She turned to me with a smile and asked: "The young lady is gentle and lovely, beautiful and colorful, she must be very strict with her family education, and she is not allowed to drink, the young lady must be everyone's lady, I don't know which one's door?" β
I don't know if she has the news of me, but every word she says seems very pertinent, I really want to laugh at her three times with my heart, and before I can answer, Na Jintang first answered for me: "Madame is also my relative's cousin, and she has been going out together since she was a child." β
Cao Kun smiled: "Sure enough, the two are so affectionate, it turned out to be childhood sweethearts, the two have no guesses, this is really good, it is rare to have a lover in the world, it is gratifying." β
I was amazed, why did Na Jintang answer me like that? I am obviously an orphan in an orphanage, and I have been fatherless and motherless since I was a child, living in a cruel environment. Isn't my identity worthy of him, so why should he force such a statement? I have some hatred in my heart, he dares to say this, does he really look down on me in his bones?
I suddenly found that Aunt Thirteen was silently observing my expression, and at that moment my expression appeared a lot of anger, remorse and confusion, all these expressions entered her eyes. By the time I realized that I had made such a mistake, it seemed that it was too late.
Because I saw her faintly confident smile, if he is really a fox, a very smart vixen, then he will definitely be able to analyze through his expression, the truth of what Jintang Zhang said just now is a little bit, in short, she can judge that what Jintang said must have a lot of moisture, I don't care if everyone is beautiful or not, but I must not be the cousin he said!
If she is smart enough, she can also judge whether we are a real couple through our intimate attitude, and she has a very accurate grasp of this kind of human sophistication.
Because I turned my head to look at the Jintang, I found that he was also staring at the thirteenth aunt thoughtfully, I ignored this detail, and he quickly caught the detail I had just ignored.
Na Jintang easily took my shoulders, helped me with vegetables very intimately, bowed his head and whispered to me: "The game on the mountain here is very good, and you may not be able to eat such a beautiful delicacy when you come back, it is delicious and delicious." β
I smiled with him, nodded gently, and did enough drama, really like a close and loving little wife, anyway, I deliberately said delicately: "I don't eat so much, people can't eat it, don't waste it, you don't move before, let others see the joke." β
He touched my head dotingly: "It's good to raise you as a pig, so you can't run." "I listened to him, and the goosebumps fell off.
I secretly thought, he did too much, he didn't get along like this at all, this is a routine, will I feel disgusted by others, I even pinched my throat when I said it, all to cover up the fatal mistake I just made.
It's really a drama like life, and life is like a play.
