Chapter 119: The Banquet
With a few torches swaying, a group of several people walked quickly towards the location of the pharmacy, and Li Ding noticed that three of the men had seen Chen Agou's room.
And a middle-aged man in black who had never seen it before walked in front, came to Liu once with a smile on his face in the flickering firelight, and arched his hand: "Mr. Liu, I am tired today, and the village elder is invited." ”
"I'm a little tired and want to rest early. Looking at the person who came, Liu Yi's expression instantly calmed down and said lightly.
Who knew that the middle-aged man in black said again: "Mr. Liu, the village elder has specially explained to me, today's banquet must invite Mr. to come, and also invite this little brother to come over, please be sure to enjoy the light." As he spoke, the middle-aged man in black also bowed his hand to Li Ding.
"Banquet?" These words made Li Ding stunned, and he couldn't figure out the situation for a while, but he heard Liu once say: "Is this so, it's a pity that little brother Li Ding is also tired for a day today, and I ask Second Master Chen to forgive me, if the young master has something to do, come and call me again." ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man in black who was called Second Master Chen suddenly smiled and said: "Young Master, he is very good now, and he is also waiting for Mr. in the hall, I don't think Mr. should refuse, and besides, today the village chief specially wants to thank Mr. Liu and this little brother." ”
"This ......" Liu Yi's face sank, but he heard Liu Ling's voice in the pharmacy and said: "Go, why don't you go, I haven't eaten a big meal this month, and my father hasn't opened meat for a long time, right?" ”
Listening to everyone's conversation, Li Ding became more and more confused the more he listened, but here Liu Ling pulled his arm and walked out, Li Ding, who couldn't figure out the situation, had to say to Liu Yi: "Although I don't know what is going on, Mr. Liu, you are not afraid that I will run away halfway?"
The corners of Liu Yi's mouth twitched, and he sneered: "Okay, some things can't be avoided, I just hope that this will end soon." ”
Liu Yi's words were not an answer to Li Ding, and the middle-aged man in black was stunned when he heard it, but the middle-aged man in black immediately smiled and said, "It's easy to say, please." As he spoke, he took Li Ding and the three of them towards the direction of the big house.
After a short time, Li Ding came to the front of the big house again, and before he entered the door, he heard a noisy shouting from inside.
Although it was dark outside, the hall was brightly lit. At this time, Chen Dabao was sitting upright on the big wooden chair with animal skin in the center, with a bright smile on his old face, and he was like two people who were going to die or live before.
And that Chen Agou sat next to Chen Dabao, with a slight flush on his feminine face, his eyes were misty, obviously he had drunk too much, and he looked like a patient suffering from a strange disease.
Looking at both sides of the hall, there were many people sitting together, and the low tables in front of them were full of wine, meat and unknown fruits. To Li Ding's surprise, many of them had come to the pharmacy to see him before. Thinking of the banquet that the middle-aged man in black said before, Li Ding was somewhat surprised, because it was the first time he had seen such a scene of eating and drinking.
"People want to thank you, and you can eat hard in a while, don't eat less than me. Liu Ling whispered in Li Ding's ear.
Li Ding frowned, such a scene made him a little uncomfortable, the most precious thing in the tribe was food, but he couldn't afford to waste it like this. Seeing this, smelling the smell of wine in the air, Li Ding's face turned slightly and followed Liu once to the center of the hall.
"Mr. Liu, you're finally here. Seeing Liu once entering the door, Chen Dabao stood up with a hint of drunkenness, and when he saw Liu Ling beside Liu Yi, as if his eyes lit up, he suddenly laughed and said: "Hehe, it's really rare for Ling'er to come, sit down, sit down." Immediately beckoned Liu once the three of them sat on the vacant seat on the side.
As soon as Li Ding sat down, a woman immediately took the wine jug and poured wine into the wine glass in front of him, Li Ding was about to excuse himself, but Liu once stretched out his hand to stop him and said in a low voice: "I can see that you don't drink, just don't drink." ”
Li Ding smiled indifferently, but turned his head to see that Liu Ling had already reached out and grabbed the piece of meat on the plate in front of him and ate it, eating fiercely, completely lacking the posture of a little woman who chewed slowly at dinner before.
This couldn't help but make Li Ding stunned, and at this moment, Chen Dabao's voice sounded again: "Come on, Mr. Liu, I'll give you a toast, this is naturally to thank you for being so concerned about Ah Gou's illness, these two people say that the income in the village has greatly increased a lot, and you are tired." ”
"Increased income?" Li Ding's heart sank, thinking of what had just happened in the pharmacy, and he didn't know what Chen Dabao had in mind when he said this.
Once Liu didn't talk nonsense, he drank the wine glass in one go, and then said with a faint smile: "It's just a trivial matter, Liu has to thank the village elder for taking care of it, otherwise, it will not be easy for me as a foreigner to find a foothold in this Black Dragon Mountain Range." ”
"Hehe, after so many years, Mr. Liu is still so polite, easy to say. Saying that, Chen Dabao turned to Li Ding and said, "Come, I also salute this little brother, if it weren't for you yesterday, the dog's hand would be useless." ”
Looking at the wine glass in front of him, Li Ding stood up calmly, and when he bent down to serve the wine glass, he caught a glimpse of Liu once and sighed lightly, but he smiled indifferently, and arched his hand towards Chen Dabao and said: "Don't hide it from the village elder, it's not that Li Ding refuses to leave, it's just that Li Ding has never drunk wine, so ......"
Hearing this, Chen Dabao was slightly stunned, but he heard a feminine man's voice behind him say, "It's a man who can't drink." ”
Looking for prestige, Li Ding found that it was Chen Agou who spoke, only to see him staggering to his feet, holding a glass of wine and walking towards this side lightly.
"My father has already told me about yesterday's incident, I didn't expect Brother Li Ding to have such a skill, in order to express my gratitude, I will toast you with a cup, just a cup, no matter how about giving me a face. Chen Agou said with a smile, but a pair of half-squinted eyes looked at Liu Ling's body intentionally or unintentionally.
This little action can escape Li Ding's eyes, and he immediately understands a little bit in his heart, no wonder Liu Ling will not wait to see Chen Agou so much. couldn't help but smile secretly at this, but he still said: "It's not that Li Ding doesn't give the young master face, it's just that I really have never drunk alcohol." ”
Hearing this, Chen Agou smiled unabated, and said: "Brother Li Ding said that he laughed, so let's do it, it was the man who drank this glass of wine, otherwise our whole village will look down on you." ”
As soon as Chen Agou's words fell, the men and women sitting around suddenly all stood up, holding wine glasses, and said one word at a time.
"The little brother has the ability to heal diseases, and this amount of alcohol should also be good!"
"How can a man not drink?
"The visitor is a guest, although the little brother was rescued by Mr. Liu, he is also our guest, and this wine must be drunk. ”
"Yes, the young master is a rare tribute, this cup of little brother must be drunk. ”
The people present seemed to be extremely enthusiastic, but when they heard these words, Li Ding didn't feel much hospitality. But I really didn't know what to do for a while, and after taking a deep breath, I had to pick up the wine glass and say, "Okay, Li Ding drank this cup and thanked the village elder and the young master for their hospitality." After speaking, Li Ding drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp.
"That's what a man is. Chen Agou said with a smile, and then raised his hand to dry the wine in his hand. It's just that under his feminine voice, the movements of his arms are not manly at all.
"Hoo ......"
Seeing this, after the people around cheered, they went to speak, and Chen Dabao gave Liu once a glass again, and returned to his seat.
"Why didn't I drink you to death, drink you to death......" Suddenly, Liu Ling lowered his head and said vaguely while eating meat, others didn't hear clearly, but Li Ding really listened to it, and the hand that had just taken a bone couldn't help but stop in the air.
Liu once in the middle naturally heard it, and reached out to pat Liu Ling's leg, and the girl snorted and stopped making a sound.
Here, I don't know if Chen Agou heard Liu Ling's words, but he noticed the movement of Liu Yi's hand, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Why did you forget that the senior sister is also here, come, let the senior brother also toast you." As he spoke, he called the person on the side to take a glass of wine and handed it to Liu Ling.
"Senior brother?" Li Ding's heart sank, how did this Chen Agou become Liu Ling's senior brother? But he reacted suddenly, once Liu once said that Chen Agou was helping in the pharmacy, it seems that they should be in a master-apprentice relationship, but looking at Liu Yi's attitude towards Chen Agou, this master is only nominal.
"Your junior sister is not good at drinking, so let me drink it for you. As soon as Liu got up and said, he wanted to take the wine glass.
Who knew that Chen Agou shrank his hand and said: "The master said that, the junior sister doesn't know how to drink, only one drink, and she can't get drunk, and the junior sister hasn't spoken yet." ”
Once Liu's face sank, it was inconvenient, but Chen Agou said to Liu Ling: "Senior sister usually says that she is a heroine among women, how can you get it, you must know that the women in our village are all good at drinking, you can't even compare with the women in our village, right?"
Chen Agou's words completely confirmed Li Ding's guess, and it seems that he didn't take Liu once in his eyes at all. Here, Liu Ling got up suddenly, grabbed the wine glass in Chen Agou's hand and drank it all, then took the wine jug next to him and poured another glass and drank it again.
"Okay, that's all right, right?" Liu Ling said angrily glaring at Chen Agou.
Chen Agou was not angry, his smile became brighter and brighter, and a pair of eyes looked Liu Ling up and down in a daze, and said: "Senior sister looks so good when she is angry, and only you are my wife." ”
"You...... What you think ...... beautiful" Suddenly, Liu Ling let out a loud snort, and slapped Chen Agou with a palm. (To be continued.) )
