Chapter 322 [Mr. Liao]
The street where the Peacock House is located is also called Peacock Street. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Just as parents rely on their sons to ascend to heaven, the name also comes from this restaurant.
The Peacock Street in the early morning is very clean and cold, and there is no bustling scene of last night in front of the Peacock Tower, and those cars, horses and people are returning home in the vast night.
Although Yuan Lai practiced diligently, he preferred to stay up late than get up early, which was completely different from the vast majority of practitioners in the Great Revelation, and belonged to one of the bad habits left over from his previous life that were difficult to eradicate.
After walking slowly to his destination, Yuan Lai found that things were a little different from what he expected.
He looked at the closed double doors, and the iron locks on them, and was silent.
"Isn't he up yet?"
Yuan Lai thought in his heart.
But this idea struck him as a little ridiculous, for he had the impression that the elderly people all got up early, and that it was clearly written in the shop to buy breakfast, and now that it was about to dawn, and the door was locked, he suddenly felt deceived.
Fortunately, many hard-working people in Qingzhou Mansion still don't like to sleep lazy, for example, there is already a young junior in front of the Peacock Tower who is busy, Yuan Lai thought about it and walked over to ask, and the answer he got made him speechless.
"That old man, I know that he is out of the city to fetch water on this day today, and the old man goes out of the city early to the north on this day of every month, and I hear that he is going to the river far away to the north to fetch water, and I don't know what is going on. ”
Xiao Er said.
Yuan Lai asked again when he would come back.
The answer he received made him even more disheartened.
"If it's short, it will have to be tomorrow, and if it's long, the day after tomorrow will be uncertain!"
After thanking him, Yuan Lai stood on Peacock Street and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly, according to what the old man said last night, he should be running out of water, but he didn't expect such a coincidence, just in time for today.
And he originally planned to stay in Qingzhou City for only one day, and he should set off tomorrow, it seems that the sky is not good, and since he missed it, it is really difficult to make up for the opportunity to make up for it.
Yuan Lai sighed, it seems that this time it can only be in vain.
And at this time, he suddenly saw that Xiao Er's chest was straight, he looked ahead, and shouted: "Mr. Liao, you are back!"
Yuan Lai was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes, and saw a middle-aged man walking slowly from the other end of Peacock Street, saying that the middle-aged man was not very old, looking at the appearance of about thirty years, dressed similarly to Confucianism, but the robe was shorter, under his feet was a pair of ordinary cloth shoes, and a rope was hastily tied around his waist, which seemed to be similar to a cultivator's belt, but in the position where cultivators are used to using swords, it was a strange wooden plank, about two fingers wide, black throughout, about half a meter long, but it looked like something I didn't know。
This dress is a little weird, but wearing it on him reveals a strange sense of harmony, and it doesn't look abrupt at all.
And what attracted Yuan Lai's attention the most was that this person had a unique temperament, which was similar to but different from Confucianism, with some cultivators' flavor but a little less sharp, his appearance was ordinary and ordinary, and a pair of eyes showed a calm light.
"Mr. Liao?"
Yuan Lai blinked, he knew that this Mr. was not Mr. Other, in Daqi, the title of Mr. was basically used for teaching and educating people.
Could it be ...... This man is a gentleman who teaches?
I saw that Mr. Liao nodded gently at Xiao Er, and then his eyes fell on Yuan Lai, and then to Yuan Lai's great surprise, he obviously saw that the other party was suddenly stunned, staring at it carefully, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, obviously looking at himself.
Without waiting for Yuan Lai to react, this Mr. Liao walked straight up, withdrew his surprised gaze, and said, "You are ......"
"Passerby, inquire about something. ”
Yuan Lai felt that this person was a little strange, especially when this person's eyes were staring at him, he actually felt that there was a terrible illusion of being stripped of his clothes, out of caution, he finished speaking, and planned to leave, but the other party obviously did not let go of his plans, Mr. Liao said without too much hesitation: "How about a cup of tea together?"
Yuan Lai hesitated, the other party's invitation was really blunt and sudden, and the most important thing was that it was unreasonable, he thought about it or wanted to refuse, but then the other party's words made his heart skip a beat!
"Your body, not me. ”
Yuan Lai was shocked in his heart, this was the first time he had been recognized! This strange teacher could actually see through his own doppelganger at a glance? You must know that he had walked on the Linjiang battle platform several times with this kind of body, and no one noticed the problem at that time!
In the other party's gaze, he quickly calmed down, then nodded vigorously and said, "Okay." ”
......
It was still cold in the Peacock Building, but there were already a few people sitting all over the first floor.
This is not just a restaurant, there seems to be a stay in the back, and this Mr. Liao seems to live here.
Judging from the attitude of the shopkeeper towards him...... It seems that this person is not an ordinary person.
Of course, Yuan Lai is still unclear about what his identity is.
Although Mr. Liao's decision to invite him was very decisive, when Yuan Lai nodded, he dragged it out again, and the two of them found a table on the first floor where no one was around, and soon a pot of tea was placed on the table.
"There are benefits to drinking tea in the morning, especially black tea. ”
Mr. Liao said with a smile.
When the two got closer, Yuan Lai found that the other party seemed to be younger than expected, not referring to age, but to mentality, it is not particularly difficult for practitioners to want to stay in the face, the important thing is the state of mind, shallow to say that it is the mentality, so Yuan Lai has also become accustomed to looking at people with mentality. Some people are old and still full of love for the world, and some people are dead at a young age, and the man in front of them obviously belongs to the latter.
Yuan Lai looked very calm, he didn't even rush to ask questions after sitting down, he observed the other party very calmly, he thanked him for the black tea, and then his fingertips gently swiped the teacup, and the water in the cup rippled, showing his inner unpeace.
Here he could feel the body moving away quickly, and this sense of sensation was rapidly fading as the distance lengthened, but fortunately, the mysterious Mr. Liao didn't seem to notice it.
Yuan Lai thought about it and decided to take the initiative, according to the situation taught by Wu Danggui, now that the other party obviously occupies the momentum of the conversation, then he can't be passive, he decided to take the initiative to try to pull it back.
So, he looked directly at the other party and asked, "You live here?"
"Just stayed for one night. Mr. Liao looked very honest.
"Looks like you've just come back. Yuan Lai said tentatively again.
Mr. Liao smiled gently and said, "Yes, I have a habit of getting up early, going out before dawn and waiting for dawn before coming back, and I have been insisting on it for three years." ”
