Chapter 37: Is It Just a Story?
The hot spring inn has a rest hall, which is very exquisite, with fine pine wood for coffee tables and unnamed animal skin blankets covering the floor.
Bailizhi lay on the rattan rocking chair and stretched lazily, although he yawned in boredom, he did not feel sleepy at all.
He was not the only one who was not sleepy, but there was also a blonde boy named Long Xin.
According to the boy, his clansmen could maintain their energy for days even if they didn't sleep.
Of course, for the sake of their bodies, there are no special circumstances, and they still have to rest every day like normal demon clans.
It's a dragon, after all.
It's not so surprising that they have stronger mental power than other races.
When he first heard that the boy reported his identity as a dragon, Bailizhi was also shocked, but when he recalled that he had seen those guests who claimed to be dragons, he was instantly relieved
I heard Xuanguang say that these guys are just half-blood side branches of the dragon clan, and they are all related to the orthodox dragon clan's eight poles, and in order to call them out, they all call themselves dragons.
Thinking so, in his heart, he also put the boy's family and those branches on the same level.
However, Bailizhi didn't know that the dragon clan that the boy was talking about was a serious pure-blooded dragon clan.
Outside the rest hall, the young man ran to Bailizhi with a porcelain cup.
The porcelain cup was filled with light tea, and the young man respectfully handed the brewed tea to Bailizhi.
This little guy named Long Xin really has a good eye.
Bai Lizhi just said that he was a little thirsty, and he took the initiative to make tea.
Not to mention, he is really skilled in making tea.
According to common sense, shouldn't this kind of work of making tea and handing water be done by subordinates?
Even if it's a side branch clan, isn't it a little strange that a son and brother can be caught like this?
It may be that seeing Bailizhi's doubts, the young man smiled and said
"I'm always supported by my brothers, and I'm still quite skilled in making tea. ”
"Oh, you seem to like your brothers, otherwise why would you listen to them so much?"
Baili Zhi said as a matter of course, while raising the teacup, raising his head and drinking the tea.
Baili Zhi is a person who can taste tea and talk about Taoism, in his opinion, the so-called tea is nothing more than water with a little taste.
Taking a sip of water? It's not his Bailizhi character.
The young man's eyes suddenly darkened when he heard Bailizhi's words, and he whispered, "No."
"Huh, isn't it interesting enough for you to say that you shit brothers?"
Speaking of this, Bai Lizhi's eyes changed, and he said a little angrily
"And you're still at their beckon?"
The young man set the teacup and lay on the rattan chair with a square table away from Bailizhi, his eyes full of helplessness
"My father and mother have implemented a free-range policy for us, I am the second son, and I am the youngest son, even if the other brothers bully me, no one will care. If you don't do things with your tail between your legs, you'll definitely be cleaned up miserably."
These words sealed in my heart blurted out as if they were not under Long Xin's control at this time.
Maybe it's because the boy hasn't been playing happily with others like he has for a long time.
I can't help but feel a little intimate with Bailizhi.
Realizing that his words were too heavy, the boy covered his mouth in a panic.
On the other hand, Baili Zhi asked with a strange cold snort
"That's it?"
"Isn't that enough? I won't be bullied as long as I'm obedient, isn't that good?"
"his grandmother!
Bai Lizhi's scolding appearance startled the young man, and Long Xin hesitated for a long time before whispering
"No one taught me, I thought about it myself. ”
As soon as the words fell, he saw Bailizhi's big hand wave and quickly stretched out to the young man's head.
This action may have caused Long Xin to involuntarily recall the memory of being taught a lesson by his other brothers, and instinctively trembled and covered his head as a defense.
But after waiting for a long time but not waiting for the slap of the lesson, Bailizhi just pressed his big hand on the top of the young man's head.
In the empty hall, there were only two of them at this time, the two eccentric young offspring.
Bai Lizhi gently rubbed Long Xin's golden hair, the hair was very soft, and there was a faint fragrance of fragrant herbs, and said with a smile
"Let me tell you a story"
Bailizhi let go of his palm, his eyes seemed to look into the distance, and gradually fell into memory, and he said quietly
"Once upon a time, there was a family whose father was a businessman and whose mother was a beautiful lady.
I don't know why my mother, who is a big family, married that father despite the family's obstruction, and followed him to old age.
The two have a son and a daughter, the son is very disobedient and fights everywhere, but the daughter is very well-behaved, not only well-behaved but also very motivated.
I thought that this kind of boring day would not change until that day came......"
When Bai Lizhi said this, his tone suddenly paused.
This meal couldn't help but make Long Xin, who listened to it with relish, show a little anxious look.
Baili Zhi glanced at Long Xin's expectant look, let out a long sigh, and continued
"Only one day everything changed, there was a famine in the world that year, and the town where the boy lived was okay, and it escaped this natural disaster, but not man-made disasters.
The homeless people rushed into the town like locusts, taking everything they could see, and not only that, but they also set fire to the boy's hometown, and although the boy fled the town in a hurry, he was also caught up in the refugee wave.
He hasn't seen his parents or sister since. ”
At this moment, Bai Lizhi suddenly laughed, as if mocking the injustice of fate, and his cold voice did not have a trace of warmth.
From that day on, the boy was accompanied by hunger and cold.
Even if he finally found food, it would be snatched away by other refugees, and he could only endure it hungry and patient, and after such a long time, the boy finally understood a truth. ”
Bailizhi's expression seemed to change his face, and he looked the same for a while, and at this moment, he gritted his teeth with a gloomy face
"If you want to live, you must show your sharp teeth!
Since then, the boy who has pinned his head to take it with him has rarely gone hungry."
Speaking of this, Baili Zhicai suddenly found that Long Xin on the side was in tears, sobbing and choking
"It's too miserable, the protagonist of Mr. Baili Zhi is too miserable"
Seeing his tears streaming down his face, Bailizhi suddenly became overwhelmed.
Isn't that exciting?
Without looking at Bai Lizhi's puzzled gaze, Long Xin just said to himself, "He doesn't even have the right to endure."
Long Xin knew that Bai Lizhi hated his uncompetitive appearance, but even if he tried his best to swallow his tears, his eyes still moistened involuntarily quickly.
"Okay, okay, if you don't cry, I'll promise you one thing, can't you?"
Bailizhi's compromise seemed to be very effective, and the boy suddenly stopped sobbing.
If it weren't for the red and swollen appearance of his eyes, Baili Zhi couldn't help but wonder if this kid was pretending just now.
After a long time, the young man finally stopped his tears completely, smiled and said a little embarrassed
"I really have something I want to ask Mr. Bailizhi, can you accompany me to the courtyard......
"Huh?"
After hearing this, Bai Lizhi immediately tilted his head in confusion, and this action made the young man panic.
It was like being afraid that Baili Zhi would be annoyed by himself who got off the donkey down the slope, so he hurriedly explained
"No, that, this, please, please when I didn't say anything. ”
Seeing that the young man's eyes were getting more and more lonely, Bai Lizhi got up suddenly, raised his feet and walked out of the hall.
Long Xin was a little overwhelmed by this action, and sat on the rattan soft chair in a daze.
At the moment when Baili Zhi stepped out of the hall, he turned his head sharply and said in a loud voice
"Aren't you going to the courtyard?
These words suddenly made the young man's eyes light up, and Han Han got up with a smile and chased in the direction where Bailizhi left.
