A wooden table, two porcelain bowls, and a few jars of wine. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The layout is very simple, but the people sitting here are not so simple.

Qin Cang and Liu Jingzhi's eyes met again at this moment, one with expectation in his eyes, and the other with surprise in his eyes.

"Can you drink?" Qin Cang asked with a little interest.

"It's not very good, but I can still drink a little. Liu Jingzhi said calmly.

Qin Cang nodded and said, "It is true that wine should not be drunk too much, especially for women. ”

Liu Jingzhi laughed teasingly: "Brother Qin's words are a bit suspicious of despising women. ”

Qin Cang shook his head and said: "It's not that I look down on women, it's just that if I drink too much, I will inevitably get drunk, and when a man is drunk, it's nothing, it's nothing more than complaining, expressing the bitterness in his heart, at best, a few more crazy words, if a woman says, there will be more trouble." ”

Qin Cang's words were a little subtle, but Liu Jingzhi still understood what he wanted to convey.

"Anyway, it's just the two of us now, and there are no outsiders, so it's hard to ...... I still have to worry about Brother Qin, if you can't do anything wrong to me while I'm drunk?" Liu Jingzhi laughed again.

"Don't imagine all men to be so decent gentlemen, the real gentlemen have long been almost extinct, probably only existing in rumors, most of these people today are just wearing some hypocritical masks, the mask is a gentleman, and when the mask is taken off, it is a real villain. Qin Cang said.

When Liu Jingzhi heard this, he immediately asked in a playful tone: "So Brother Qin has positioned himself as a gentleman or a villain, or is it somewhere in between?"

Qin Cang didn't answer immediately, but first poured the wine into the two bowls on the table, and then looked at Liu Jingzhi, and said in a deep voice with an extremely serious expression: "I think I will be a demon." ”

Liu Jingzhi laughed lightly, as if she had expected this answer, so she continued: "Demons, there are many kinds, which one does Brother Qin want to do, is it a demon who is happy to kill and kill decisively, or a demon who does whatever he wants?"

"I can't give you an answer, because I don't know what is the right answer. Picking up the wine in the bowl, Qin Cang stared at Jing Zhi, changed his words, and said, "Didn't Fang Cai say that he wanted to drink with me, now you can start." ”

Liu Jingzhi's face was even more smiling, and even the reflection in the wine was so soft and moving.

The sound of two porcelain bowls touching finally sounded in this secluded tavern.

The porcelain bowl is clearly made of the most ordinary materials, but the sound produced at the moment of touching it has a unique rhythm that can only be found in musical instruments.

So pleasant, so long.

A similar scene actually happened two years ago.

At that time, the geographical location of the tavern where Qin Cang was located seemed to be a bit remote, but because Qingyun Sword Pavilion would recruit disciples in that city in the future, the business of that tavern became unprecedentedly hot.

So the atmosphere around is very noisy, with conversations, laughter, scolding, and noise...... There is only one person who keeps the silence alone, and that is Qin Cang.

There was no food on the table, only wine, and no one next to him, only him.

Drinking should be a bold thing, but he has played up a lonely and lonely atmosphere, and because of this, he seems out of place with his surroundings.

Strange people, strange wine, lonely people, lonely wine, it is naturally easy to attract attention, but few people come to talk to him, perhaps because his clothes were too ordinary at that time, or because his loneliness has become a kind of indifference, an indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away.

This indifference was not broken until a woman sat down and spoke to him.

It was a very beautiful woman, enough to rank among all the women Qin Cang had ever seen, and her name was also very beautiful and easy to remember.

So he wrote down her name, Fu Yueling, and she also remembered his name, Qin Cang.

Not long after they met, she joked with his surname, and although he understood that there was no malice in it, he was still subconsciously a little displeased.

However, no matter how unhappy she was, she was still the one who took the initiative to accompany him to drink and talk, no matter what the purpose, this alone had already surpassed many people, so the two of them once traveled together, participated in the assessment together, and entered the Qingyun Sword Pavilion together.

Too much together, enough to make two people who were originally strangers to no intersection remember each other and become so-called friends.

But it is only limited to friends, except for the teacher and blood relatives, before the darkness locked in his heart does not touch the light, he will treat everyone as light as water, not as thick as blood, this kind of defense is indeed chilling, but his heart was once cold to the point of almost no temperature, although it has improved now, but it is only the appearance, not the essence.

At the end of the day, he is still a man who has not come out of the darkness in his bones.

All the light that appears outside is just a faint light touched by a person groping in the darkness with a sword.

Among the people Qin Cang has come into contact with and recognized in recent days, there is probably only Liu Sandao who is the most exception, he is the first person to call Qin Cang his eldest brother, and he is also the person who really treats Qin Cang as a brother in life and death.

Therefore, Qin Cang's impression of Liu Sandao was very deep, even deeper than the nameless knife that never came out of the sheath on his back, and it was precisely because of Liu Sandao that Qin Cang rescued Liu Jingzhi, and even took the risk to prevent her from connecting with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

But when Liu Jingzhi was really rescued, he also began to discover the special thing about this woman herself.

Although she is thoughtful, she is not guarded against everyone, at least at this moment, when she was drinking with Qin Cang, there was no expression on her face, only the sincerity when she indulged in drinking with her friends, although this does not rule out the possibility of deliberate disguise, just like the light shadow of the snow back then, Qin Cang's opinion can be seen that this possibility is extremely low.

There is no accurate way to judge, only one's own observation ability and intuition can be relied on, the human heart is undetectable, but when you have suffered enough injuries, the perception of the human heart will gradually become deeper, and the feeling will gradually become clearer.

Not too far, not too close, he is always reminding himself to abide by this rule.

Therefore, Qin Cang does not exclude getting acquainted with more friends who are as light as water, which has nothing to do with the so-called "gentlemen's friendship is as light as water", he never thinks of himself as a gentleman, nor does he want to be a gentleman, but if he can always maintain this relationship as light as water, it is a rare performance in itself.

Because there are too many relationships in this world, in the end, even a pool of clear water is not as good.

Qin Cang looked at Liu Jingzhi in front of him, and then looked around, as if he had thought of something, and seemed to have felt something, so many complex emotions entered the liver and intestines with the wine in the bowl, turning into a long sigh.

"Long-hating people's hearts are not as good as water, waiting for the waves on the flat ground. ”
