Chapter 11: Subtlety
Unlike other people with distinct personalities.
Compared to Ah Chao, Ade, Little Bear.
Xiao Ming is particularly mediocre in every way, including his personality.
His heart was struggling and hesitating.
Especially after Ah Chao was open and honest with him.
Xiao Ming was even more confused.
In fact.
He didn't have a strong desire to leave the inn and go out.
But he couldn't stay by the shopkeeper's side as firmly as Ah Chao.
Because.
He just felt a little regretful and unwilling.
Life is not long, but it is not short.
The world is so big.
He didn't want to be stuck in one place, or one person, for the rest of his life.
Every time I think about it.
Xiao Ming will be ashamed of his thoughts, ashamed of the treasurer who is as kind as a mountain.
Tangled, painful.
This is Xiao Ming's current situation.
Night.
They summoned Dong Cailing to consult her on her requirements for marriage.
As a result, Dong Cailing immediately said that she and Xia Fan's plans were the same after learning that Xia Fan planned to keep everything simple.
The life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker.
This may be true of the mundane.
But it doesn't apply to practitioners very well.
Minded.
This is the primary consideration for a practitioner when choosing a partner.
If Dong Chae-ling's father is still alive.
He certainly wouldn't marry off his daughter easily.
Even if they want to get married, they will choose promising young talents among the cultivators.
In this regard, he will also respect his daughter's choice.
This is why Dong Cailing has not married for a long time.
But Dong Chae-ling's uncle is not her father, and he will respect her willingness to choose.
What if she doesn't?
When the raw rice is cooked and the rice is cooked, everything is out of her hands.
Encounter such a situation.
Dong Cailing can't escape?
Not to mention after her father's death.
Her marriage has been completely decided by herself.
She marries whomever she wants.
Dong Cailing has no comment request.
Xiao Ming and Ah Chao, who are in charge of this matter, will naturally not say anything.
They told Dong Chae-ling.
During this time, she stayed in the inn with peace of mind.
Once her affairs are settled, she is ready to get married.
Marriage is supposed to be one of the most important things in life.
But Xia Fan and Dong Cailing's marriage seemed quite hasty and casual.
Xia Fan didn't care.
But Dong Cailing is different.
Especially when she wants to marry a man who has no feelings and is strange and mysterious.
In this life.
She would probably be tied to this man.
Regret it?
Does it still make sense to say that now?
After all, it was her choice.
"Shopkeeper, you're back. ”
Xia Fan, as usual, appeared at the back door drunk, seemingly drunk.
Xiao Ming, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward to help him as soon as possible.
"Take me back to my room first. ”
Xia Fan unexpectedly did not push Xiao Ming away, but burped and shook his crumbling body.
“...... Good. ”
Xiao Ming was stunned, and when he lowered his head and slowly sent the shopkeeper to the house.
He knows.
The shopkeeper has something to say to himself.
Otherwise, the shopkeeper will not let himself send him back to the room.
Maybe.
The shopkeeper had already seen through his thoughts, so he simply came to push the boat.
"Shopkeeper, you drink tea. ”
Soon after entering the house.
After Xiao Ming helped Xia Fan to sit down at the table, he hurriedly poured Xia Fan a cup of tea.
"Sit down. ”
Xia Fan took a sip of tea that was still warm, and casually pointed to the position beside him.
"Yes. ”
Xiao Ming bowed his head to his ear canal.
"Xiao Ming, there are only two of us in the room now, you don't have to be restrained in front of me, just tell me if you have anything to say. ”
Xia Fan glanced at Xiao Mingdao, who was preoccupied.
“...... The shopkeeper, Ah Chao has already told me everything. ”
Xiao Ming was silent for a long time.
"I see, and then what?"
Xia Fan said in a lazy tone.
"Shopkeeper, we know ...... wrong"
Xiao Ming's voice was suppressed.
"Is that all you want to say to me at the end of the day?"
Xia Fan shook his head and sighed lightly.
"Xiao Ming, do you think I will blame you for this kind of thing?"
“...... No. ”
Xiao Ming pursed his lips and said.
"Isn't that all there is to it? Since I don't care, what's wrong with you? Xiao Ming, that's not what you want to tell me, and you don't have to go around in front of me. ”
Xia Fan put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly.
"Shopkeeper, I'm in a lot of pain right now......"
Xiao Ming's eyes gradually became ruddy, and he gritted his teeth.
"Xiao Ming, you have all grown up, I know, sooner or later you will all have your own ideas and pursuits, the moment I adopted you, I never thought of tying you to my side for the rest of my life, but you yourself can't get over the hurdle in your heart, kindness is kindness, but kindness can't become a shackle that binds you. ”
Xia Fan looked at Xiao Ming with a smile on his face and said softly.
"Xiao Ming, no one in this world can do without anyone, before I adopted you, shouldn't my life be a day? You guys, the more you grow up, the less cute you become, you used to tell me about trivial things, but now? You don't even have the courage to tell me the truth......
“...... The shopkeeper, Xiao Ming knows that he is wrong. ”
Xiao Ming looked at Xia Fan with complicated eyes, and there were crystal tears in his eyes.
"How many times have I said it, you are not wrong, since you have not been able to make up your mind, then let me help you make a decision, after I get married, you, Ade, and Little Bear will give Lao Tzu to get out immediately, the farther the better, at least for three or five years, I don't want to see you again." ”
Xia Fan said unceremoniously.
"The Shopkeeper's ......"
Xiao Ming moved his lips, but he couldn't say anything when the words came to his lips.
"It's not life and death, why are you so heavy? Even if you all die in the future, Lao Tzu will not die. ”
Xia Fan didn't have a good airway.
". ”
After speaking.
Xia Fan waved his hand at Xiao Ming, got up and lay on his soft big bed, and it didn't take long for him to snore.
Xiao Ming silently watched Xia Fan lie on the bed.
Long.
He slowly got up.
He bowed heavily to Xia Fan's figure.
He slowly exited the room.
"Xiao Ming, did the shopkeeper say anything?"
When he returned to the lobby.
On the long table sat Ah Chao Ade and Little Bear.
After seeing Xiao Ming, Ade immediately asked compulsively.
"The shopkeeper said that after he got married, we all left his side except for Ah Chao. ”
Xiao Ming said with a somewhat depressed look.
“......”
“......”
As soon as the words came out.
Everyone fell silent.
"Did the shopkeeper really say that?"
Ade clasped his hands on his head and said hoarsely.
The shopkeeper said that since we could not make up our minds for a long time, he would help us make up our minds. ”
Xiao Ming said in a low tone.
"It's finally come to this......"
Ade smiled wryly.
"Let's disperse. ”
At this time.
Ah Chao, who was silent, suddenly stood up, lightly tapped his fingers on the table, and looked at everyone indifferently.
“......”
Little Bear heard this.
The first got up and left the long table.
Ade was stunned when he saw this, and then followed the bear without saying a word.
As for Xiao Ming.
He just glanced at Ah Chao deeply, and finally nodded at him before turning to leave.
Why did Ah Chao suddenly let them disperse.
Xiao Ming understood, Xiao Xiong understood, and Ade may be the last to wake up.
Because go on.
They are likely to have pointless arguments with each other.
Even if the dispute is not malicious, it will affect the relationship between them to a greater or lesser extent.
After all.
Emotions are sometimes hard to control.
In case Ade said what he just said.
Suddenly, someone said.
Are you satisfied now?
When the time comes.
Disputes are inevitable.
There are some things that everyone knows.
If you say who is the person who wants to go out the most?
No doubt.
This man is Ade.
It's nothing more than his temperament that is more out of step than anyone present.
But he is good at hiding his true thoughts and intentions.
But Xiao Ming, they and Adedu have been in a relationship for more than 20 years.
Don't they know Xiao Ming's mind?
They don't say.
Just take care of Ade's affection.
Ade probably knows just as well in his heart.
This tacit understanding has always been maintained between the two.
Here's the problem.
When the shopkeeper made it clear that he wanted to "drive" them away.
Ade, however, still knowingly disguised himself.
It's all at this time.
Is it necessary for him to do this?
Ah Chao is aware of this problem.
Immediately, he spoke up decisively.
"The atmosphere has changed again. ”
Every day.
Xue Qing's favorite thing is to sit in the corner of the window and observe and feel everything in the inn.
Compared to yesterday.
Today, the atmosphere of the inn is even heavier.
Just except for him.
No one else seems to have noticed the change.
With the passing of each day.
Far from getting better, the atmosphere at the inn became heavier.
Except for the shopkeeper at the counter, it seems that everyone has their own agenda.
It was only one day before he left White Sparrow City.
The atmosphere of the inn has finally taken on a new twist.
The atmosphere was as heavy as ever, but there was something inexplicable.
Festive?
It's hard to put into words.
Of course he didn't know.
Because there's a piece of news coming.
Lin Wu Villa's uncle Dong Cailing was mysteriously assassinated.
It won't be long.
The news will then reach White Sparrow.
And the death of Dong Cailing's uncle means that Dong Cailing is about to marry Xia Fan.
The two got married.
It also means that Xiao Ming and they are about to leave Xia Fan.
Therefore, it is conceivable that Xiao Ming has complex feelings in their hearts.
It's night.
It's rare that Xia Fan didn't go out to eat and drink.
Instead, they all sat at the long table with Xiao Ming.
But here's what's different this time.
There was an extra chair next to Xia Fan's main seat.
When Dong Cailing, who had been closed these days, walked down from the guest room on the second floor with trepidation.
I saw Xia Fan smiling and beckoning to her, and then motioned for her to sit beside him.
After Dong Cailing saw that everyone else nodded slightly, she carefully sat down next to Xia Fan.
"Dong Cailing, what you asked us to do has been done, not long ago, your uncle died under the assassination we planned. ”
Dong Cailing just sat down.
Xiao Xiong looked at Dong Cailing with an expressionless face.
"What you said is true?"
Dong Cailing said emotionally when he heard this.
"If you don't believe me, you can go out and find out for yourself these two days. ”
Little Bear said indifferently.
"Now, it's your turn to make good on your promises. ”
"Commitment...... You mean......"
Dong Cailing's face froze, and his eyes subconsciously looked at Xia Fan who was lazy beside him.
"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and tonight you will marry our shopkeeper. ”
Little Bear said directly.
"This ......"
Dong Cailing opened her mouth slightly, completely stunned.
"Do you want to go back?"
The bear's eyes narrowed slightly.
"No, no, I didn't mean that, I meant ......"
When Dong Cailing heard this, she immediately panicked and wanted to explain.
"Do you think it's too soon? Or do you think you need to be relieved to hear the news of your uncle's death?"
Xiao Xiong stared at Dong Cai Ling Dao with burning eyes.
"There are ...... for both"
Dong Cailing bit her lip and seemed to have plucked up great courage.
"Come out, you've been observing long enough these days. ”
Who knew that Xiao Xiong didn't pay attention to Dong Cailing, but slowly fell on the second floor.
"When did you find me? ”
As soon as the words fell.
An extraordinary-looking young monk in a plain robe slowly appeared on the second floor, looking down at the people in the lobby with an indifferent expression.
"Are you here for her, or are you here for us? ”
Little Bear looked at the other party expressionlessly and asked without answering.
"Of course it's you, as for Dong Cailing, it's an unexpected gain. ”
The young monk said in a calm tone.
"Now it's your turn to answer my questions. ”
"Ding Ran, the most outstanding young disciple of the Wuhua Sect three years ago, has not been heard from since he left the sect three years ago, and in the past three years, in fact, you have been secretly investigating us, more precisely, the organization we established, but some time ago, because of the matter of Dong Cailing, we all had suspicions within the organization, and after some investigation, we finally locked down a person, and this person is you. ”
Little Bear said without a hint of emotion.
"It was you who exposed Dong Cailing's whereabouts to Qin Ji, as for the reason, maybe you were aware of our unusual attention to Dong Cailing, so you planned to find out us by Dong Cailing touching the melon. ”
Sure enough, he is worthy of being the master behind the scenes of Tsing Yi Building. ”
When the young monk heard this, he slapped his palms twice and chuckled.
"In fact, I didn't expect that you obviously control the biggest underground power in the Asuka Dynasty, but you are hiding in an inconspicuous small inn as a guy at the behest of others, if you don't see it with your own eyes, who would believe such a thing?"
"Are you finished?"
The bear was unmoved.
"Everything should end here, the major sects will not allow your organization to continue to exist, and I have already sent a message to the sect, or it won't be long before the people from the sect will gather people to arrest you. ”
The corners of the young monk's mouth raised.
"You're going to die!"
