"Well, I grew up in the desert, and I rarely see flowers, and I don't understand what the poets in the south of the country say 'life is like summer flowers', but I have seen beautiful meteors at night in the desert, when I look up at the sky. Rather than being blown around by the wind day after day like sand, I prefer to streak across the night sky like a shooting star, which is short-lived, but imprints my splendor in the eyes that look up at me. ”

(4) The Flower Allure Chapter --- two people who were favored by death

When we arrived at the foot of Xueyue Mountain, my brother rarely took us off the car to visit the small town in the north. Wearing the newly bought clothes and experiencing the folk customs of the north, my brother took me and Sister Xiaoyue into a small restaurant. Unfortunately, there are no empty tables inside. At the recommendation of the shopkeeper, my brother led the two of us to a table where only one uncle was seated.

This uncle is dressed in white, his hair is more than half white, and his black hair is no longer as gray as his hair, but there are no wrinkles on his face, his eyes are bright, and his eyes are like torches. The feelings in the eyes are unpredictable,

Brother said: "Hello uncle, I and two insiders want to share a table with you, can you see it?"

The uncle said: "Two insiders, young people are really blessed." Meeting is fate, sit down. ”

Sister Xiaoyue and I hurriedly thanked our uncle.

The uncle ordered a cold dog meat, asked for a bowl of hot soup, and ordered a pot of wine by himself and was sipping, Si Swenwen, different from many strong men in the house who were drinking with a big bowl. It also seems to be an out-of-towner.

After my brother sat down, he was not polite, and picked up his chopsticks to eat other people's dishes. While eating, I chatted with people.

"On the sixth day of the sixth month of June, the demons invaded. Seeing that the uncle doesn't look like a local, it seems that he is also here to help this Snow Mountain faction defend against the demons, right?" After speaking, he even reached out and took someone's wine jug to pour wine. The uncle laughed but did not say a word.

Sometimes he is as cold as an ice cube, sometimes silent as a Buddha statue crawling with cobwebs in an old temple, sometimes he suddenly changes again, like a dissolute prodigal son, and sometimes like a child who longs for his mother's praise...... He pretended to be self-cooked in front of others like this, but we had to consider their feelings, and hurriedly asked Xiao Er and Sister Xiaoyue to bring the menu to order dishes.

Xiao Er heard that we wanted a menu, and said to us with a smile, "A few guests from afar, our small shop has no menu, you can just order whatever you want to eat." Our main dish is all kinds of dog meat, if you don't want this bite, you just say what you want to eat, our chefs will make popular dishes, but there are some southern dishes we can't make. ”

We asked my brother what he was eating, and my brother just said, "Look at it, and ignore us."

"Uncle, you're so lucky. ”

"Oh, good luck, how can I say it? I haven't had much luck in my life. ”

"The war between man and demon is imminent, and martial arts like Uncle will probably have no way back once he gets involved. Maybe my two beautiful wives and I may not be able to come back, isn't it luck that such a fairy-like little lady can have a meal with you before you die?"

"Brother!" Why did my brother suddenly have such a crow's mouth? Why did I stimulate the uncle in front of me like this? I don't think it is possible for my brother to say these hurtful words for no reason, but when I talk like this, I still feel unbearable when I look at the kind uncle opposite.

"Uncle, I'm sorry, my brother doesn't speak very well, don't be angry," I said hurriedly.

The uncle was not angry: "I have long put life and death aside." ”

"Eight out of ten who say they are not afraid of death are treacherous people who are scared at the moment of life and death," Brother's words are even more ugly than one sentence.

"The next two are true, one is you and the other is me. ”

"Oh, what about your two pretty little wives?"

They didn't say that. They don't want to die, with a good husband like me, who would be willing to die?"

"It's just you? I don't see how good you are? A face that eats soft rice, and a scar, looking at Wenwen weak, it is estimated that he is a rich kid who has practiced a little martial arts, and he thinks that he has a little martial arts and has been scratched everywhere, looking at you like this, it is difficult to say whether you can be satisfied with marrying two wives!"

Brother didn't argue, turned his head and asked Sister Xiaoyue, "Can you be satisfied?"

Sister Xiaoyue was ashamed and angry, unable to speak, so she reached out and twisted it on her brother's face, but when she touched the scar on her brother's face, she seemed to be unbearable. So it looks like it's hard to tell whether it's pinching or touching......

"I also have two wives. It's a pity that I don't have the blessing of a person like you, and I married my current wife in my hometown long after the death of my first wife. But I'm luckier than you, I have a son and a daughter now. If you don't hurry back to your hometown as soon as possible, you have to go up to this snowy mountain to take care of things you can't manage, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to have a son. ”

Traveling around the mountains with my brother, I found that my brother has a particularly powerful ability, he can always make very polite people quarrel with him, and at the same time make the other party not so angry, as if there is a feeling of enjoying it. This uncle seemed to be laughing at his brother, but listening carefully to his words, it was clear that he was sharing his past with us, and he also kindly persuaded us to stay away from the snowy mountains.

When the food came up, we started chatting, because my brother has been eating other people's food, so when Sister Xiaoyue and I asked Uncle to share the dishes we ordered, Uncle didn't feel embarrassed. At this time, it suddenly occurred to me that my brother seems to be a very caring person.

"Uncle, don't look at me as incompetent, my family has money, my father has a wide range of friends, and even the Murong family, which is rich in the world, has a relationship with us. I also went to Murong's house as a guest before. Brother continued to chat with uncle.

"It's up to you, I'm afraid that no one in the Murong family will take care of you. ”

"It's true, we met Murong Yu, the head of the Murong family, Murong Bai, the head of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, and a doorman of the Murong family who can tell fortunes. I continued my brother's words.

"Jiang Shiyan?"

I was shocked that the uncle actually said the gentleman's name directly, and it seemed that there was some kind of connection.

"He likes to do all kinds of mystical things. Uncle said.

"Looks like you know him?" the brother asked casually.

"We grew up together. One of the weirdos likes to study things like destiny, reincarnation, fate, and strange gossip. The uncle replied without thinking about it.

"The old man counted three hangings for me, and calculated three 'death' words. also said that I am the fate of the Heavenly Evil Lone Star, and those who have anything to do with me are probably not spared. Brother said through gritted teeth.

"What?" The uncle in front of him was surprised for a while, and then he was silent for a long time, his face became solemn, and he muttered: "I don't believe in fate, I only believe in myself, I believe that as long as I work hard, my life can be changed, and man will win the sky." But before coming out this time, Lao Jiang still took the initiative to find me and said that he had given me a hanging, which was a 'death' sign, and asked me to be careful in everything. But you can actually calculate three 'dead' lots!"

The uncle glanced at the brother who was eating, and then at us, "It's a pity that there are two big girls who are like flowers!"

"I don't want them to come with me. Brother said.

"Since I follow my brother, life and death can't be separated. I said. After saying that, I couldn't help but glance at Sister Xiaoyue.

"I followed him, just because I also have an account to settle with the demons!" After finishing speaking, he still glanced at his brother. My brother's face was expressionless, but I felt a vague sense of loss flash in my eyes.

"Well, I grew up in the desert, and I rarely see flowers, and I don't understand what the poets in the south of the country say 'life is like summer flowers', but I have seen beautiful meteors at night in the desert, when I look up at the sky. Rather than being blown around by the wind day after day like sand, I prefer to streak across the night sky like a shooting star, which is short-lived, but imprints my splendor in the eyes that look up at me. ”

"But you are not taller than I am, and you can't see your face when you look up. Brother said as he made a gesture of raising his head. Brother, such a romantic atmosphere has been ruined by you!

"Have you considered the feelings of others in such a show of affection?" said the uncle.

"It's all dying, how can you care about other people's feelings. Brother said.

"I knew I was going to die, so I didn't want to go. There is no shortage of little white faces like you in the big snow mountains. Go home with peace of mind and have a few babies with your two little daughters-in-law. Uncle said.

"As for me, I also have an account to settle. So I can't help but go. Among the three of us, if you want to say that you have nothing to do with the demons, there is only this gentle leaf, but once I want to get rid of her, she will die or live, so I can only take her with me. Why don't you go back, uncle, and you have a wife and children waiting at home, right?"

The uncle was silent for a long time, poured a glass of wine, drank it all, and said, "I do have a wife and children at home, but I have spent half my life with them. I don't have much time left to live, and I have to settle an account for my mother and my ex-wife. ”

The topic suddenly became heavy, and several of us didn't speak for a long time.

"Then a few of us who don't plan to make it back alive can get together at a table and have a drink!"

"Okay!" Uncle raised his glass in agreement, Sister Xiaoyue and I also raised our glasses, but my brother said, "It's still too late to turn back, and if you go any further, no one will be able to turn back." I'm a man who won't keep his hands. ”

"Each other, each other!"

After saying that, we drank the glass of wine, and then had a few more small talks, and we said goodbye to the uncle.

Later, I found out that when I met the uncle at this meal, what my brother said was all meaningful. Whether the glass of wine was dry or not, we had no way back, and it was impossible for us to show mercy to each other's men.
