Chapter 13: The Dinner
Li Bing looked at Yu Xiaolong in front of him, wearing only a pair of underwear, and a perfect tendon and flesh came into his eyes. This figure is trained, and if you smear it with oil, you are a bodybuilder. Although there were some scars on his chest and back, they were not serious.
Li Bing said, "When did you come out?" Silent, like ghosts. β
Yu Xiaolong said: "People who practice martial arts are like this, footwork can be powerful, and it can also be silent, do you want to learn?"
Li Bing said: "Don't learn! What are you pressing my phone for? If I reply to my wife, you don't care? β
Yu Xiaolong said, "Are you going to go home or follow us?"
Li Bing said: "Even if I follow you, I have to go home."
Yu Xiaolong said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to go back."
Li Bing said, "What, you want to come hard?"
Yu Xiaolong said: "We? We're protecting you! Do you know who those security guards are? Sooner or later, your family will be targeted. I'll go rub some medicine first, and I'll tell you later, don't rush to call your daughter-in-law back yet. Then he took a cotton silk coat from the cupboard and put it on, and turned to go downstairs.
Li Bing came out of the shower, and felt a faint pain in the place on his shoulder where he was bitten by the fish. When Yu Xiaolong finished wiping the medicine, he also had to take a look.
He sat on the bed and thought through all the doubts from beginning to end, and he was going to ask them tonight anyway.
There was a knock on the door outside, and Lao He opened a crack in the door and said, "I'm going downstairs to eat."
Li Bing felt that his stomach was starting to growl with hunger, and followed Lao He downstairs.
The restaurant was already brightly lit, everyone was seated, Li Bing saw Sun Xiaoxiang at a glance outside the door, she had taken off her dress, still combed two thick braids, and was wearing a pink dress, although the clothes were wide, they still couldn't stop the surging on her chest. She wears a white spotted hairpin on her head, like a princess from a fairy tale.
He walked towards her unconsciously, Sun Xiaoxiang beckoned, patted the chair next to him, Li Bing pulled out the chair and sat on it, and said, "You seem to be a different person?"
Sun Xiaoxiang said: "Is it good-looking? Like a fruit sweetheart? β
Li Bing said, "No."
Sun Xiaoxiang said, "What is that like?"
Li Bing said, "Like a princess."
Sun Xiaoxiang covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Flim tongue."
Lao He had already poured a glass of liquor for everyone, and Li Bing hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I won't be in vain."
Sun Xiaoxiang's father said: "Drink some wine to relieve fatigue and sleep well at night."
Li Bing said, "What do you call big brother?"
His father said, "My name is Liu Wentian, just call me Lao Liu."
Yu Xiaolong said: "He really can't drink it, just pour a cup."
Sun Xiaoxiang poured a glass of Coke and handed it to Li Bing, saying, "Follow me to drink this."
Lao Liu said: "Introduce Xiaoice, this is Lao He, the housekeeper here, these two are Xiao Gu and Xiao Wan in the store."
Li Bing asked, "What store do you open?"
Lao Liu said: "There is an antique shop in the southern suburbs, I don't usually go there, they are all taking care of it."
Li Bing thought to himself: If you open an antique shop, you can buy this small courtyard, how big a faΓ§ade it must be. These people are all running the rivers and lakes, and they can't be fully trusted, and maybe they are doing other business.
He said: "Brother Liu must be the big man in the Xijing antique industry, it's a pity that I didn't mix in this circle, otherwise I would have admired your name for a long time."
Lao Liu smiled: "It's all petty business. Come, all raise their glasses to celebrate our successful baby. β
Xiao Gu said: "It's just a rare treasure, I don't know what it is, why don't you open it and take a look?" Let's also open our eyes. β
Yu Xiaolong said: "Since it is a baby, of course you can't just look at it, if Brother Gu really wants to see it, another day the eldest brother will speak, and the brothers will enjoy it together."
Li Bing thought: These people are all amazing, what kind of character is their eldest brother?
Lao Liu smiled: "It's not in a hurry, Xiaoxiang can be regarded as born and dead today, and her contribution is indispensable." There are also Xiaolong, Xiao Liu, and Lao Wu, all of whom are heroes, I respect one of you, what about Lao Wu? What about the injury? Serve a dish and don't forget to bring a bottle of wine. β
Lao He said: "The injury is not serious, the food has been delivered."
Li Bing heard that Lao Liu put Xiaoxiang in the first place, and the implication was that this baby also had his share of credit, but Yu Xiaolong was reluctant to show the baby to others with the boss's pressure, and he seemed to be a little dissatisfied.
Lao Liu said: "I haven't eaten for a day, come, use chopsticks."
Yu Xiaolong was not polite, he tore a chicken leg and chewed it. Li Bing also took a piece of snake meat to eat, and said, "This meat is delicate."
Lao Liu said: "This is a snake eel, similar to a sea snake, but it is a fish, which was fished in the East China Sea last year, so I can eat more if I like it."
Sun Xiaoxiang sandwiched two more pieces for him and said: "This big supplement, I have only eaten twice when I grow so big, you eat more, and then you will have energy when you go to the tomb."
Li Bing said: "Is it the same effect as the Ten Perfection Tonic Pills?"
Sun Xiaoxiang said: "Poverty is not poor, although this snake eel is not a treasure of the world, but the nutritional value is many times higher than that of ginseng and deer antlers." He picked a few from each dish and put them in his bowl.
Li Bing was embarrassed and sandwiched a piece of tofu for Sun Xiaoxiang, and Sun Xiaoxiang said, "How do you know that I like tofu?"
Li Bing thought: Your skin is as thin and slippery as tofu, but it's hard to speak, so you just say, "Guess."
Yu Xiaolong coughed twice and said, "You two have been sticking together in the cave, hanging me and Lao Wu aside, and now it's even hotter?"
Sun Xiaoxiang said: "The chicken leg can't stop your mouth, do you want to come again?"
Yu Xiaolong said: "The two of you are also talented and beautiful, maybe you will be able to become the Condor Heroes in the tomb robbery world in the future, have you talked to Xiaoxiang?" Look at Lao Liu.
Lao Liu said: "How old is she, don't take my daughter badly."
Sun Xiaoxiang said: "Do you want to worry about the object of the conversation? My dad was in you on purpose. β
Yu Xiaolong said: "Just kidding, don't take it seriously, eat vegetables, eat vegetables."
Only then did Li Bing understand that Yu Xiaolong's words were a pun, killing two birds with one stone, not only to tell Lao Liu, but also to ridicule him as a family person. I didn't expect his mind to be so delicate. I didn't say anything anymore, and I buried myself in eating.
A table of dishes was quickly eaten, Lao Liu said to add a few more dishes, but Yu Xiaolong patted his stomach and said: "Most of the table has been contracted by me and Li Bing, eat and drink well, go upstairs to sleep."
He had drunk a lot of alcohol tonight, but he couldn't see the slightest drunkenness.
Everyone left the table and went back to their rooms, Li Bing came to the infirmary and asked the doctor to look at the wound, the doctor removed the band-aid, applied some herbs and said, "It's not in the way, it can be healed in a week."
Li Bing said to Lao Wu: "The money has been received, let me say what is good, and the words of thanks will be vulgar."
Lao Wu glanced at the doctor and said, "Money doesn't matter, I hope you can recognize me as a friend."
Li Bing said: "You are a good person, I will call you Uncle Wu in the future."
Lao Wu pulled Li Bing aside and whispered: "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and it is better to sleep smartly at night."
Li Bing was about to ask the reason, but he patted Li Bing's arm and said, "Go ahead."
