Bai Sui smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Doctor Xie has passed away......"

The bowl in the eldest mother's hand slipped out of her hand, Bai Suiyan quickly caught it, and saw the eldest lady sitting on the stool and wiping her tears: "...... Thank you for being a good person...... How can this be......"

At this time, a middle-aged man walked in, saw his mother crying, and hurriedly ran over and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" He looked at Bai Sui again and asked, "Who are you?" What did you do to my mother? ”

The eldest lady wiped her face, patted her son's back vigorously and said, "Zhong'er, this is my mother's life-saving benefactor, how can you talk to people like this?" ”

"Huh?" The middle-aged man was even more confused.

Bai Sui saw the eldest lady pulling her son to talk for a long time, the man kept nodding, and involuntarily remembered his mother, and he was a little envious of them.

"That's what happened!" Li Zhong finally figured out what happened, "Engong is offended!" You were drunk at the gate of our village, and I thought you were a Mongol worker. Li Zhong clasped his fists with both hands.

"Nonsense!" The eldest mother patted her son on the back again.

"I bothered the two of you, but it was this hero who saved me." Bai Sui bent a pair of eyes and smiled.

"It's just a gesture!" Li Zhong also returned the favor.

"I'll cook, you talk!" The eldest lady walked into the kitchen with a smile.

Li Zhong looked at Bai Sui and fell into a trance, a shadow appeared in his mind, and he said: "Engong and one person look so imaginable!" Can Engong know the smoker boy of the Drunken Immortal Building? ”

Bai Sui was a little surprised that this person actually recognized him, but he didn't deny it, and said with a smile: "How did Brother Li recognize me?" ”

"Really!" After getting the exact answer, Li Zhong grew his mouth in surprise, and the lady who was busy in the kitchen walked out with the dishes and glanced at her son: "The boss is not small, don't be surprised, let Engong see the joke."

Three dishes and one soup on the dinner table, for the Li family's mother and son, it is all that they try their best to entertain distinguished guests, Bai Sui wanted to leave the village and continue on the road, but he couldn't bear to sweep away Aunt Li's interest, and no longer said anything and sat down to have dinner with the Li family's mother and son, Li Zhong buried his head in eating, occasionally secretly looked at Bai Sui's eyes, and immediately buried his head to eat again.

At the end of dinner, the eldest lady stopped Bai Sui's attempt to help clean up, so he had to touch his round belly and go outside the house to cool off, obviously it was August, but it was still so stuffy.

At night, the village did not have the wind and sand during the day, and the air became clean and refreshing, Bai Sui took a deep breath and bent his waist, shaking the folding fan, but he happened to see Li Zhong who was chopping wood in the yard and was also looking at him, the two met their eyes, and Li Zhong's axe slipped from his hand and almost hit his foot.

Bai Sui probably guessed why Li Zhong had been hiding from him, and walked straight to him, Li Zhong awkwardly picked up the axe, slashed at the wooden block, and actually split it into the air.

"Brother Li, that's not how you chop wood...... Brother Li has avoided me everywhere since he learned that I am the smoke-forming boy of the Drunken Immortal Building, and I have seen many people in the Drunken Immortal Building, some of whom I may not remember...... Have we seen it too? ”

Li Zhong put down the axe, wiped his sweat and said: "The boy of the smoke is famous in Chang'an City, I went to the drunken immortal building with my friends to drink tea, and I was fortunate to see the son's piano appreciation party......"

Bai Sui smiled and put away the folding fan, picked up the axe for chopping wood, and chopped it steadily against the wooden block, the impartial wooden block was easily split into two pieces, raised his eyes and said, "Tea?" ”

Li Zhong was speechless by Bai Sui's fluctuating actions, and was debunked by the sentence "drinking tea", how could he drink tea in the Qinglou.

"My original name is Bai Sui, although I have been a dust actor in the Drunken Immortal Building, but I am not an embroidered pillow that only pleases men, and Brother Li's true identity is probably not a village mountain man, right?" Bai Sui set his eyes on Li Zhong's blistered hands.

"I ...... I don't mean to humiliate Engong......" Li Zhong said that, he did have a heart because of Bai Sui's identity, but at this time, his eyes no longer dodged.

The man in front of him seems to be able to dissect people's minds.

Li Zhong hung his head and continued: "I was originally a fourth-grade official of the imperial court, but I was exiled here because my book angered the current emperor...... My mother used to be reluctant to live with me in the capital, and she didn't have a good life living alone in the suburbs, but now she is still suffering with me, alas, I am really useless......"

"Engong has also seen countless high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and his vision must be very high, but how can a person like me, who has been punished to the frontier, get into the eyes of Engong...... I'm ashamed of myself......" Bai Sui treats him with sincerity, but he treats others with himself, and he is really ridiculous.

"Brother Li laughed, although Bai Sui is not a person who reads poetry and books, but he can also see that you are much better than those who can only flatter him, you are full of books of sages, and you dare to enter the emperor's advice, how many people are in the world with such courage, why should you be arrogant?"

After listening to Bai Sui's words, Li Zhong felt a surge of blood in his chest. His heart to serve the country has never been recognized by others, and the adults who are officials in the same dynasty have laughed at his stubbornness, and some have exhorted him to know how to be flexible in officialdom, and he has irreversible the emperor's will for his own career.

However, he still made a choice for the sake of the country's social welfare, in exchange for dismissal and exile. He was unwilling and painful, but he never regretted it, he thought that no one would be able to understand him.

And now the person standing in front of him has become the only one who speaks his heart.

Li Zhong hugged his fists with emotion and said: "Brother Bai's words, Li Mousheng has studied for ten years and been taught!" ”

Bai Sui said with a smile: "Brother Li is only eight years old, Bai Sui also wants to ask Brother Li for teaching" Bai Sui has been curious since he saw the books lined up on the shelves of Li Zhong's house, and he has heard that the human world regards the Four Books and Five Classics as classics that can solve all kinds of puzzles, maybe he can find the answer in the book.
