Chapter 22: Three Men in One Play
The destination of Liu Ruotian and his entourage this trip is Huazhou, Shaanxi, which is the hometown of Li Yuqi and Li Shuqi.
According to the masked man, it is very likely that the Li family's ancestral treasure Ying Butterfly Sword was hidden in the Li family's ancient mansion by the parents of the Li family's siblings.
And Liu Ruotian and the others accidentally missed the lodging due to their own reasons, so they had to sleep in the wild tonight.
At this time, Liu Ruotian was sitting on the wooden board outside the carriage, looking thoughtfully at the moon in the sky and humming an inexplicable song, looking very comfortable.
In contrast, Mei Jiaxing, who was being invaded by mosquitoes on the straw mat next to him at this time, was not so comfortable and comfortable.
Seeing that Li Yuqi beside him had already slept peacefully, but he was still suffering from these mosquitoes, Mei Jiaxing, who was already exhausted, couldn't bear it anymore.
I saw Mei Jiaxing suddenly get up and say to Li Yuqi, who was lying beside him: "How can you sleep here!" It's good for you, everybody is laid-back. I wondered, why don't these mosquitoes bite you, but they like to pester me! ”
Li Yuqi was awakened by him just after falling asleep, and when he heard this, he just said a few perfunctory words, and he didn't even bother to open his eyes.
"Oh, go to sleep, I'm going to be on my way tomorrow! If you're honest, won't they bite you? ”
Mei Jiaxing was even more angry when he saw Li Yuqi*'s appearance.
"Brother Yuqi, you get up for me and talk to me!" Saying that, Mei Jiaxing pulled Li Yuqi up.
Li Yuqi said in a daze: "What are you doing? What do you say without sleeping in the middle of the night? ”
Mei Jiaxing just asked Li Yuqi to sit up, but he lay down again. Seeing this, Mei Jiaxing grabbed Li Yuqi's arms with both hands and began to shake left and right. Li Yuqi really couldn't stand his torture, so he had to slowly open his eyes.
"Brother Yuqi, you've finally woken up. You see, I'm covered in mosquito bites all over my body. Look at my brother-in-law, still humming a little tune there! Mei Jiaxing pointed to Liu Ruotian in the carriage and said.
"Jiaxing, don't always embarrass my eldest brother, you can't and don't allow others to sleep if you don't sleep, right? The reason why those mosquitoes only bite you and not us is because you are more popular than us, and you should be happy about it! Liu Ruotian suddenly turned around and said to Mei Jiaxing, who was sitting behind him.
Li Yuqi couldn't help laughing when he heard Liu Ruotian say this, but Mei Jiaxing couldn't be happy at this time.
"Brother-in-law, how can you say that! You two are still laughing, do you have any sympathy? Mei Jiaxing became more and more unhappy.
Liu Ruotian said to Mei Jiaxing: "Hey, how can you blame us? Who came with him in vain? What, regret it? It's a pity, it's too late, and now there is no way back for each of us! ”
Hearing Liu Ruotian say this, Mei Jiaxing really felt that he was a little wrong, and even regretted it. But after all, he had to come with him, and he couldn't complain about others.
At this moment, Li Shuqi and Mei Yuchen in the carriage also started talking when they heard the sound of talking outside.
Don't look at the fact that the two of them haven't known each other for a long time, and there is a certain gap in age, but they get along very well, not at all like friends they just met, but like inseparable friends.
"Sister, I heard that Mei Gongzi has always called the Liu Gongzi outside as his brother-in-law, and you are Mei Gongzi's sister, could it be that you and Liu Gongzi have become husband and wife?" Li Shuqi asked Mei Yuchen.
"Sister, don't listen to my brother's nonsense. He has been like this since he was a child, and he always likes to joke. However, Brother Ruotian and I did have a marriage contract first, but we never got married. Mei Yuchen replied.
"Oh, I see! Although Liu Gongzi is still young, he is both talented and mature, and I believe that he will definitely become a good husband in the future. The two of you are together, you can really be called a talented woman with a good look! ”
Hearing Li Shuqi say this, Mei Yuchen's face showed a trace of sadness.
"Well, Brother Ruotian has been different since he was a child, and he often does some unbelievable things, but he is really good. However, he didn't seem to agree with this marriage, and always avoided me, intentionally or unintentionally, saying that there was something unspeakable. ”
Seeing this, Li Shuqi comforted her and said, "How could he disagree? It's just that I'm embarrassed to mention it because of the embarrassment. When the time comes, everything will change. ”
"I hope so, after all, feelings can't be forced." Mei Yuchen's heart was still a little uneasy.
At the same time, the unbearable Li Yuqi is dissatisfied with his difficulty sleeping, and Mei Jiaxing not only did not stop but intensified.
And in the process of entanglement between the two, the hairy Mei Jiaxing accidentally touched the wound on Li Yuqi's forehead. And it was Mei Jiaxing's unintentional mistake that made Li Yuqi realize that he hadn't drunk the medicine today, so he was ready to get up and leave here to light a fire to fry the medicine.
Mei Jiaxing saw that he had done something wrong, so he hurriedly apologized to Li Yuqi. Unexpectedly, Li Yuqi not only did not blame him, but was also grateful to him, which made Mei Jiaxing puzzled.
Seeing this, Liu Ruotian jumped out of the carriage and came to Li Yuqi's side.
"I said why did you have to bring this medicine pot when you left, it turned out to be convenient for decoction of medicine!"
"Well, yes, Miss Guo told me to take my medicine on time, so that my illness can be cured as soon as possible."
After Liu Ruotian heard this, he guessed: "Big brother, you have only seen her a few times, and you just called Miss Guo one by one, and you are so obedient to her words. Hey, I mean, you don't like people, do you? ”
"Brother Xian, how can you say that? Who do you think of me? Not what you think! Li Yuqi was obviously a little insincere when he said this.
Liu Ruotian was surprised when he saw this: "Oops! Don't admit it yet, look at how your face is red, I really didn't expect that my eldest brother would be shy! ”
Liu Ruotian thought to himself, if the eldest brother really likes Guo Nianyao, then my plan will be ruined.
Liu Ruotian's plan is like this, he wants to come out this time to secretly create a chance for Mei Yuchen and Li Yuqi to be alone.
As long as the two can fall in love smoothly and even cook raw rice and mature rice, then Liu Ruotian can stay out of the matter and do what he wants to do. However, it is a pity that Liu Ruotian's idea is obviously too naïve and naïve.
This ridiculous plan, I estimate that its success rate is less than 1 in 10,000, it seems that Liu Ruotian is going to be self-defeating this time.
