Chapter 53: Ranking at the Main Table
The old man quietly revealed my identity, and even went straight to the point, asking me about my specific affiliation.
Just this sentence made me confused.
What's the situation?
Seeing that I suddenly became vigilant, the old man couldn't help laughing, and said Don't be nervous, old man, I am also a night walker, the people on this mountain, all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, there is nothing to do with you, our two of us just have nothing to chat, chatter, nothing else.
I saw that he looked kind, hesitated for a moment, and then said ambiguously, "Monkey." ”
When the old man heard this, he said monkey? This genus is quite common.
Indeed, in addition to the most common legendary things such as the Eleventh Zodiac Dragon, the Nocturnal Stalker with the largest base is the Monkey.
After all, from the perspective of species evolution, humans are also apes, although the evolutionary direction of monkey nightcrawlers and humans has deviated, but going back to the roots, it is still the same.
It is precisely because they are the same as humans that monkey nightcrawlers are not a powerful bloodline.
Except, of course, for the legendary Four Wonder Monkeys.
It can even be said that the bloodline and talent of the monkey nightkin are basically at the bottom of the nightkin group.
The old man saw that my tone was a little strange, and thought I was depressed, so he comforted me: "I am born to be useful, there is no upper limit to cultivation, but it depends on your understanding and hard work, the more you pay, the more you will gain......
The old man caught me and poured a big mouthful of chicken soup for the soul, which made me a little confused.
I didn't dare to refute it, so I just nodded, yes, yes, yes, you were right.
After chatting like this, there was a lively suona sound in the courtyard of Xiakan, and the gongs and drums were noisy, but the birthday banquet was about to begin.
Oh my God, how did time pass so quickly?
I'm obviously going to find someone, why are I here and talking to an old man for a long time?
I was anxious and annoyed, and the old man asked, "Well, young man, what is your name?" ”
I?
The old man was so enthusiastic just now, which made me very moved, all kinds of affirmations and chicken soup for the soul poured down, which made me a little difficult to tell lies, and after thinking about it, I replied: "The surname is Hou, you can just call me Xiaohou." ”
When the old man heard this, he laughed, Xiaohou? Little monkey, your name, it's so funny.
He said, took my hand, and said let's go, let's go down together, you sit next to me, and we'll continue to talk later.
Yes?
When I heard this, 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped past in my heart, but as soon as I gave him a hand, I immediately felt that the power in the other party's body was wider than the rivers, lakes and seas, so that I didn't even have the idea of resisting.
This person is a master.
And it's not an ordinary master, at least seven or eight stories tall.
I took him by the arm and walked down, a little panicked, for fear that this old man would recognize my identity and want to take me down to Huang Fengzhai.
But I don't know why, I always feel that this person's style is very high, and he may not necessarily go with Huang Fengzhai and Lu Dajia.
I dragged it down the hill with such trepidation, and then came to the main venue.
At this time, there were more than a dozen big eight immortal tables, almost full of people, I didn't see Ma Yiao, but I saw Lao Qin, he was arranged to sit in the corner, and I couldn't help but be stunned when I saw me swaggering over with the old man.
He almost stood up, too surprised to speak.
In his thoughts, the most important thing to do in a situation like mine at the moment is to shrink into the corner and not come out, just take a sneak look.
What does it mean to appear with such a swagger?
I saw Lao Qin glaring at me, and I was also helpless.
I don't want to be like that if it were possible.
But I couldn't help it, the old man's dry hand was like a magnet, and it grabbed my wrist tightly, so that I couldn't break free at all.
In fact, I didn't dare to break free, because when I struggled, it meant that my heart was weak.
In front of such a master, I have no ability to resist.
I was very embarrassed to pull the old man, passed through the full table of eight immortals, and saw that he was about to walk towards the main table, I hurriedly said: "You can go, I am a little person, just find a corner seat and become a ......"
I mean it, for I feel that when I came down with this old man, many people's eyes were on him.
It was as if I was in the spotlight all of a sudden, without any shelter.
This makes me particularly embarrassed by such an identity that mixes in.
When I finished speaking, I was about to break away from the old man's hand, but he smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, just let people move it." ”
As he spoke, he led me all the way to the main table.
As I walked past the third table on the edge of the main table, a petite woman looked at me with wide eyes and an incredulous expression.
I saw surprise, panic and indescribable emotion in her eyes.
And the few people next to her also looked weird, like eating cockroaches raw.
I saw the silhouette of this man and recognized it.
She was the woman who gave orders in the Yellow Wind Village, and it was clear that she recognized me.
At this moment, my mood fell to the extreme.
Because it was exposed.
Soon, however, I vaguely grasped something from her frightened eyes, so I simply gave my heart to the side, and no longer hesitated, but followed the old man to the main table.
At the same time, I was still looking around, but I didn't see Wong Tai Sin with long gray hair and blue homespun clothes.
This guy, didn't come?
Walked to the main table, where sat a rich old lady with silver hair and a kind face.
She should be the birthday star of this time, Mrs. Hua, and there are several old people sitting around who look quite old and powerful, and there are only three of them who are younger.
One should be Mrs. Hua's eldest son, called Hua Yong, and the other is ...... Lu Dajiao.
That's right, it's Lu Dajia of Huangfeng Village.
The third person, Feng Jingyao, the camel who was making a big show over there just now, also sat in front of the main table.
And when the old man next to me came over, a group of people, including Mrs. Hua, stood up, and everyone nodded and greeted, saying, "Senior, you are here." ”
The old lady said to the old man: "Brother Yuexiu, we were still talking about you just now, why is it almost time to start the banquet, you don't see anyone, and I am worried that you are not used to my mundane affairs, so you shook your hand and left." ”
The old man let go of me at this time, and said with a smile: "Red-sleeved girl, I don't want to care about other people's affairs, but you are different, I haven't forgotten the love of the year." ”
Mrs. Hua was so happy that she smiled so much that the folds on her face were scattered, and she said to him, "Come, come, you sit on my right ......."
There is only one place left for the entire main table.
And that position, that is, the right hand side of Mrs. Hua, usually speaking, should be reserved for the most noble one among the guests in the venue.
The old man didn't move, but patted me on the shoulder, and said that I had just met Xiao Hou in front of your retreat cave, and I had a very happy conversation with him, and I liked him very much, so I pulled him over and chatted while eating......
Yes?
This rich old man was very interesting, and after speaking, he looked at the person next to him, refusing to sit or go, and he looked determined, which surprised everyone.
At this moment, I was almost in the spotlight, and all eyes were on me.
In the corner of my eye, I saw that Lu Dajia's face was a little ugly.
He seemed to be making eye contact with the woman at the table over there, and then his eyes narrowed suddenly, obviously knowing my identity, it was the person next to Ma Yiao.
But even so, he still held his breath and didn't say a word.
I knew that my identity was revealed, and at this time, my mood suddenly became very calm.
Because things have gotten so bad, no matter how bad they are, what else can they do?
Now, I calmed down, smiling, standing neither humble nor arrogant, and then arched my hand and said: "In Xia Xiaohou, I have seen all the seniors. ”
I was indifferent on my side, and the rich old man refused to sit or leave, and the pressure was passed on to other places unconsciously.
Several people at the main table looked at the hunchbacked Feng Jingyao.
Yes, this guy has the lowest status in this circle, since the rich old man has expressed his position and wants me to sit at a table with him, then the only way to let the person with the lowest status take the initiative to leave.
I was a broken jar and a broken can, and I withstood the pressure, but Feng Jingyao couldn't.
He actually recognized me, but he didn't know why, he didn't break it, not only that, but he had to stand up obediently and say to the old man next to me: "Senior Yuexiu, please come to the table." ”
The old man responded with a smile and said yes, yes, Xiaofeng is good.
The vacant position was not satisfied, and asked him to move the position, and on the right side of the right, it was also vacated for me.
A group of people were very cooperative, even if they were reluctant, they did not refuse, and after they were done, the old man took me to the table, and then the old lady began to stand up, raised her glass, and said a toast of thanks.
Everyone raised their glasses in response, and then she clinked glasses with us before she stopped and invited us to taste.
The style of the banquet here is quite high, they are all famous dishes in Sichuan, the rich old man eats, unceremoniously, constantly picks it into his bowl, and also beckons me and gives me vegetables.
While sandwiching chicken legs for me, he said, "You're welcome, you can't eat enough to be polite in this kind of place." ”
Me: "......"
I didn't know what to say, so I had to bow my head to eat, and Lu Dajia, who was opposite me, waited for a while before he put on a smile and said to me: "Little brother, what did you say just now, what is your surname?" ”
Little Buddha said: Today, a colleague came to play with Little Buddha, and a meal of wine is indispensable, not to add more, haha.
