Chapter 17: The Gathering of Storms
I was surprised to hear this voice, and when I looked back, I saw Li An'an, a short-haired girl with bright eyes and bright teeth, standing behind me, her eyes squinting, and her face was full of a peaceful smile, as bright as spring.
Compared with her in the advanced research class, Li An'an is more gentle at this moment.
She was wearing a neutral black suit, and there was a hardcore follower Ma Sifan next to her.
I was a little surprised, and said, "Why are you here?"
Ma Sifan said: "We came to participate in the Nanhai Guanyin Festival, Ma Xiaolong, Ma Xiaofeng, and the two of them are landlords, so naturally we have to find them to take care of food and housing, but what we didn't expect is that you and Brother Yiao are also here......"
I smiled and said it was just the right time.
Li An'an saw that I didn't answer, and continued to ask: "Hey, what about you, where is your beauty, don't hide it, call it out and take a look, see what kind of beauty it is, can fascinate you like this, and go to the engagement scene to grab the bride." ”
I smiled wryly and said that you were really unlucky, and you just left this morning.
Yes?
Li Anan looked at Ma Xiaofeng next to him, and Ma Xiaofeng explained: "Yes, she has something to do with herself, and she went out for a walk today." ”
In front of Li Anan and Ma Sifan, Ma Xiaofeng won't say much.
Of course, Ma Xiaolong has either been running with us these days, or he is busy investigating the case, and all the things have been thrown to Ma Xiaofeng, and she has also been dizzy about business matters these days, so she naturally doesn't know too much.
Li Anan was sure that it was not Ma Xiaofeng who reported the news, and informed her and Ma Sifan of their arrival in advance, so he sighed regretfully.
She said that she had always wanted to see what the "first beauty in the south" looked like, but she didn't expect to miss it - when will she come back, can I see it?
I said not sure, when are you leaving?
Li An'an said that after the Nanhai Guanyin Festival, stay for two more days.
I nodded, saying almost, it should be no problem - but when was the title of "the first beauty in the south" added, this is too exaggerated, right?
Ma Sifan laughed next to him, saying that Chinese people love to join in the fun, and a woman's beauty will always be related to the event, especially if you make such a fuss, everyone knows it, but then again, your Miss Qin is indeed very beautiful, don't be modest about this.
He was smiling, obviously very happy in his heart.
I said to Ma Sifan, "Long time no see." ”
He stepped forward, hugged me, and said: "Yes, I have heard a lot of news about the two of you in the past six months, and this time, it is the two of you who have made the biggest move......
We met and chatted for a while, Ma Xiaolong said: "I asked the kitchen to prepare, and we will have a barbecue dinner here in a while, we haven't seen each other for a long time, sit down and have a drink." ”
Everyone said yes, and then introduced An Li and Amu to Li Anan and Ma Sifan, but they didn't introduce too many things, only said that they were local masters.
The barbecue master arranged by Ma Xiaolong has good skills, and whether it is the Dongshan goat or the seafood that has just been caught, they are all first-class ingredients, and under the processing of the barbecue master, the taste is particularly delicious.
Everyone ate and chatted, talking about what happened after the separation, and they felt very happy.
Unconsciously, everyone was a little drunk, Ma Sifan told everyone, saying that he couldn't paddle, Ma Xiaofeng laughed, Come on, I'll teach you.
She couldn't swim before, but later, under the devil's training of her brother, she finally did, so she was especially willing to use Ma Xiaolong's method to teach people.
And Ma Xiaolong's so-called method is "If you want to swim, drink more water first", in short, it is to withdraw the landlubber directly into the pool, choke a few sips first, and it will naturally be - of course, this thing applies to cultivators, after all, the aura is long, and for ordinary people, they still have to be more or less careful, and it is not worth imitating.
Everyone coaxed Ma Sifan into the swimming pool and made a mess, but Li Anan didn't go over, but brought a glass of wine, came over and clinked glasses with me, and drank it all.
She drank a lot of wine tonight, her face was flushed, and she looked very cute, which was very inconsistent with her usual temperament.
After drinking, she said, "Hey, I don't know how long this relationship can last." ”
Yes?
I was stunned for a moment, what do you mean?
Li Anan said: "The so-called classmate relationship, at the beginning, everyone was still very good, happy, but with the passage of time and the distance of estrangement, it will become weaker and weaker, and in the end, maybe the intersection of strangers is not necessarily, right?" ”
That's what I say, but I always say that "people gather like things, and things are divided into groups", and people who have the same three views, no matter what, will always come together, no matter how far apart time and space are. It's just that the longer the time, the easier it will be to form a small group, and as for the people who don't match you, you will leave when you leave, and you can't talk about too many regrets.
Li Anan thought about it and said that you are right, if this is the case, there are not too many regrets.
I said what the hell is wrong with you, you are so young, to say such old-fashioned things.
Li Anan said that when Ma Sifan and I crossed the cliff mountain, we met a classmate on the flight, guess who?
I was stunned for a moment and said, could it be Li Hongjun?
Li Anan smiled and said that Li Hongjun's work is magnificent, but it doesn't make me feel so emotional.
I thought about it for a while, and immediately understood: "Tang Dao? ”
Li Anan nodded and said yes, Tang Dao.
I laughed and said what I thought it was, Tang Dao has always been a withdrawn and indifferent person, not to mention leaving school, even if he is still there, it is estimated that it is like this, what do you have to worry about?
Li Anan looked at me and said What about you?
I was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said How can it be, we share joys and sorrows, and we have a lifelong friendship?
When Li Anan heard it, he smiled, went to get the red wine again, poured a full glass, poured me a full glass, and said to me: "Hou Mo, you have to remember what you said today in the future." ”
I clinked glasses with her and said, "Of course. ”
Anyway, I'll fill this cup.
We had a good drink that day, but because the next day was the Nanhai Guanyin Festival, we played until twelve o'clock, and then we all went back to our rooms to sleep.
Before going to bed, I went to Suzaku's room to take a look, and found that she hadn't come back yet.
Perhaps, she wants to find the secret realm herself, and only when there is conclusive news will she appear.
I was vaguely worried, but I didn't think much of it.
The next morning, we gathered in the hotel lobby, Wong Tai Sin and Miao Wang of the South Terrier also came, and a few friends they knew well, as well as some entourage.
Although Ma Xiaolong suffered a little in Nanjiao, he still had to give enough face, so he specially mobilized a few business vehicles to arrange for people to be sent to Nanshan Temple.
Ma Yiao and I have already put on human skin masks when we go out because of our special status, a low-profile Xiao Yueyue and a yellow-faced sick man, both of which are not conspicuous, and Li An'an saw the appearance of the two of us, and they both laughed so much that their stomachs hurt.
In addition to the human skin mask, there are some other means, such as filling my stomach and so on, trying to make an inconspicuous fat man.
In addition, Ma Yiao and I rode in a car alone, and even An Li did not follow us.
When I was on the road, I glanced at Ma Sifan, who was chatting and laughing with Li An'an in the car behind, and said with some concern: "Do you need to tell him about Anna?" ”
Ma Yiao asked me, "What do you think?"
I said that from beginning to end, Ma Sifan was a victim, and it stands to reason that he does not need to bear all the responsibility, and Anna's meaning is the same, and she doesn't want to have anything to do with him; But that kid is still Ma Sifan's after all, and now that Anna is in danger, I feel a little uneasy if I don't tell him - what do you think?
Ma Yiao pondered for a while, and said I think, after all, you and I are both outsiders, how to choose, whether to care or not, or leave it to Ma Sifan to consider himself, and what we have to do is not to deprive him of the right to choose, what do you think?
I nodded, and said okay, I'll find a chance to talk to him about it later.
There was nothing to say all the way, after arriving at Nanshan Temple, at the foot of the mountain, there were Zhike monks who came to pick up the guests.
Today, Nanshan Temple will not be open to ordinary pilgrims, but it is still relatively relaxed for people in the industry, basically there are acquaintances with them, or say a few words that everyone in the industry understands, basically unimpeded.
We went up the mountain in several groups, and Wong Tai Sin called me over and talked to me again about reconciling with the Huo family.
Obviously, he was still quite worried about me offending the Huo family.
Although I knew that this was impossible, I still listened patiently to the teachings of my predecessors.
Along the way, I kept meeting people on the road, some knew Wong Tai Sin, some knew Miao Wang, and they would come over to talk a few words, and when I arrived at the square in front of the main hall, it was even more so, I saw that he was very lively here, so I was ready to go out and meet Ma Yiao and others, and at this time, three people came from the side, one of them, bowed to Huang Tai Sin, saying that he had seen Huang Senior.
When I heard the voice, my body froze.
This person is actually Huo Erlang, he actually came, and next to him, there was the handsome and handsome assistant Charlie Du, and the other was the elder Ximen Yue.
This is the current speaker of the Huo family, although Huang Daxian has a very high status in the rivers and lakes, he didn't dare to slack off, stopped and greeted him.
I know that Huo Erlang won Yue Zhuangshi in the competition in Hengtang, and had a marriage contract with Chu Xiaotu, and Chu Xiaotu's marriage condition was to kill Huang Daxian and avenge her brother, so I was a little worried that he would be unfavorable to Huang Daxian, but after watching from the side for a while, I found that the two sides talked very happily, and there was no barrier at all.
This......
Chu Xiaotu this time, I'm afraid that it is not a person again.
I thought to myself in my heart, and at this time, another person came not far away, and said to Huo Erlang: "Jing Shao......"
When I saw the man, my eyes were about to fall off.
This person is actually Yue Zhuangshi.
