Blank frowned when he heard this, and said in his heart: Miss, people are coming back to bury their mother, why do you say this like a New Year's greeting?

However, no one but Blanc cared about this, and they were all there to toast excitedly.

This kind of liquor is not very wonderful for Wu Qian, who has never drunk much, and I feel strange when I take a sip: Why do so many people like such a spicy throat thing? It must be that I haven't been able to appreciate the beauty of it, so it's better to take two more sips.

Thinking about it, I took two sips, and before I knew it, I drank the whole glass, and then poured a small glass for myself.

Xiang Chen Liuling was afraid that she had drunk too much, so when she was not paying attention, she poured the wine in her wine glass to Lu Sanshan, but she didn't even notice it, obviously she was already a little dazed.

※

After the meal, Xiang Chen Liuling originally planned to go out for a walk, but thinking that Wu Qian had drunk so much wine, it would be bad if she went out to attract the wind, and besides, the black lights outside were blind, and she was still a little uncomfortable inexplicably, so she turned to pull everyone to play poker.

Xiang Chen Liuling asked Blank for silver coins, intending to deliberately lose the silver coins to Lu Sanshan at the poker table, which would be equivalent to buying the jar of wine and not letting Lu Sanshan suffer.

Naturally, Blanc will not participate in this kind of poker game that he plays together, but only serves everyone on the side.

"Won't Mr. Blank play?" Lu Sanshan asked curiously.

Blank smiled and shook his head, not answering. Wu Qian hurriedly replied:

"He? He's a good guy! Let's have a lot of fun like this, if you take him, don't play anymore! You'll never be able to win against him! ”

"So powerful? Could it be that there is a good way to get out of the thousands? I've heard people in the city say that if you're fast enough, even the MONOCULUS can't catch him. Lu Sanshan said with a smile.

Xiang Chen Liuling felt that it made sense when he heard this, this Mr. Blank really didn't lose once in the casino! Later, Ji Mengna still chased him to learn gambling, but he refused to let go, even when Xiang Chen Liuling asked him, he kept silent, which was really confusing.

Standing aside and watching the three of them play cards was also quite boring for Blank, with an uncontrollable look of boredom on his face.

Xiang Chen Liuling stumbled upon his boredom, and glanced at an old-fashioned wall clock in the room, the time was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

"Mr. Lu, where is your bathroom? I saw that Qianqian was also tired, so let her go take a bath first. Xiang Chen Liuling said.

Wu Qian waved her hand: "No, I'm fine, I'm not tired!" Let's have some fun! ”

Lu Sanshan looked at Xiang Chen Liuling and Blank in embarrassment, and Xiang Chen Liuling smiled: "Okay, then play for a while." Blank, go get ready. ”

Blank understood, and whispered again that Lu Sanshan inquired about the location of the bathroom, and then used the time they were playing cards to clean the bathroom first.

After playing a few more rounds, Xiang Chen Liuling was not good at gambling in the first place, and he lost all the way whether he wanted it or not. After quickly losing all the silver coins on his body to Lu Sanshan openly, he saw Blanc appear by the door while arranging his sleeves.

"Alright! I lost it all today, too! It's time to go rest, right? Qianqian, you go take a bath first! Xiang Chen Liuling got up, pulled Wu Qian up and pushed it to Blank.

Blank hesitated for a moment, and helped Wu Qian away very gentlemanly, leaving only Lu Sanshan and Xiang Chen Liuling in the room, and he was a little embarrassed for a while.

"Ah, Miss Xiang, are you going to take Wu Qian back?"

"You want her to stay?"

"No, no, no, the big city is better than the country. Hey, if I didn't have the skills, I would have gone to the city a long time ago. ”

"I've heard that Mr. Lu is a scholar, huh...... Like, folklorists? Xiang Chen Liuling pretended to be confused and asked knowingly.

Lu Sanshan's expression flashed, and he smiled curtly: "Hey, that's all in the past." If you do less or more, you will be arrogant. Now that I think about it, I'm ashamed. ”

"Mr. Lu is too modest, right? Actually, I'm also a little interested in these, I wonder if Mr. Lu has any books in this area that you can lend me to see? ”

"Do you see I have a book here?" Lu Sanshan laughed.

Xiang Chen Liuling continued to pretend to be confused, half-squinted his eyes and looked around and smiled: "Eh, it seems that there is really no eh!" Isn't your book here? ”

"Hey, me...... Believe it or not, but I've always wanted to be a scholar, but no matter what publisher or academic institution I submit my manuscript to, people are coming back.

Hey, it's okay to call back, at least there's a piece of news, and more of it is in the sea. Even so, I didn't find anything to be discouraged about, until one day I found a folklorist on the news who had published a paper with many of the information and ideas exactly the same as the one I had sent out! ”

"Wow! This is plagiarism! The thief is the most shameful! Didn't you go to him to settle accounts? Xiang Chen Liuling asked excitedly.

In this world, she hates thieves as much as she hates literary thieves. This hatred stems from the fact that she has had a similar experience, and that her drawings and essays have been plagiarized by people she admires, which is terrible.

Because the plagiarist is a well-known person, and she is just a student who no one cares about, it is really indefensible.

So no matter whether what Lu Sanshan said was true or not, her reaction to this matter was quite excited.

Lu Sanshan was also taken aback by her reaction, and then said helplessly: "Alas, what can I do? Settle accounts with him? Who am they and who am I? Besides, I don't have the money to go to court!

Anyway, after that time, I burned all the books and manuscripts in a fit of rage. Make up your mind that you'll never touch those things again. ”

Xiang Chen Liuling nodded sympathetically, and then asked, "So, I have a question that shouldn't be asked, don't you just don't do anything from now on?" You have to have a livelihood, right? I don't look like you're doing farm work, so what do you live on? ”

Lu Sanshan's face changed, and he said: "Hey, how can I say it, not long ago, by chance, I met a person who was in the bamboo shoot business. You have also seen that we have nothing else in Qingzhu Village, but bamboo is enough!

I can't farm, and I don't have any land to plant at home, but bamboo doesn't belong to anyone, just dig it up in the mountains. I can do this kind of work, and besides, I don't have any expenses, so it's enough to get by. ”

Xiang Chen Liuling pursed the corners of his mouth and nodded, secretly pondering: This Lu Sanshan's words don't sound like nonsense, but they are far from what Uncle Yan said before. It seems that more inquiries will be made about which of these two people is true.

Just as he was thinking to himself, he saw Blanc return to his room.

"Miss, I've already sent Wu Qian to the bathroom, do you want to drink some honey milk now?" Blank asked.

Xiang Chen Liuling shook his head, and was about to say something, when he suddenly heard a scream coming from the backyard.

The scream was filled with fear, tearing the silence of the night with a myriad of broken sounds.
