160 Talk, laugh and drink
Seeing Meng Xiuyuan act like this, Qiao Feng and Qiao Sanhuai were all surprised.
Among them, what Qiao Feng couldn't see through was that Meng Xiuyuan's kung fu of taking things through the air made him chic and elegant, and he was obviously very clever, but he couldn't tell what kind of martial arts he was.
When Qiao Feng was practicing martial arts in Shaolin, he had to pass on a stunt called "Dragon Capture Gong", and when he practiced to a high depth, he could also take things in the air.
But he said in his heart, when he did it himself, he would never be able to do whatever he wanted and without a trace like Meng Xiuyuan just now, obviously Meng Xiuyuan's kung fu was still above him.
Thinking of the various magical skills that Meng Xiuyuan had displayed since they met yesterday, Qiao Feng couldn't help but become more and more curious about where Meng Xiuyuan's ability came from.
However, at this dinner table, Meng Xiuyuan didn't take the initiative to speak, and he didn't want to talk much about it, so he could only suppress this curiosity.
And Qiao Sanhuai and his wife, their eyes were dizzy when they were old, and Meng Xiuyuan shot too fast just now, so they didn't see this miracle of taking things from the sky.
But the bag of white flowers in front of them was enough for them to tremble with surprise:
Meng ...... Brother Meng, where did you get so much silver? ”
Qiao Sanhuai and his wife have always been polite and polite when they get along with Meng Xiuyuan, although they raised Meng Xiuyuan, they never took grace and self-respect, and reprimanded Meng Xiuyuan with the attitude of elders and benefactors.
Therefore, even after seeing this large bag of silver, they were very worried, afraid that it was not because Meng Xiuyuan had gone astray and been abducted and deceived to get so much money, but when it came to his lips, the second elder still did not say it too directly.
Seeing this, Meng Xiu saw the thoughts of Qiao Sanhuai and his wife, smiled slightly, and explained softly to the two elders:
"Uncle, auntie, don't worry, this money is coming from the right way, and there is nothing dishonorable.
I have been successful in learning and art in the past few years, and I saved the life of a martial arts senior, and these silver were sent by his apprentices to thank me. ”
Qiao Sanhuai and his wife were a little stunned when they heard this, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
From the bottom of their hearts, they didn't believe that Meng Xiuyuan would be able to soar in just a few years, but thinking that Meng Xiuyuan had always been honest and thin-faced, it was not good to directly say that he was deceiving people.
Meng Xiuyuan knew that they would not be so easy to believe, so in order to avoid misunderstanding and trouble, he immediately picked up two wine bowls, and said while pouring rice wine into them:
"The events of these years are a long story, and I can't tell them completely for a while.
To put it simply, I met an old fairy who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and learned a lot of skills from him.
You two don't have to worry about me in the future, just enjoy your happiness in peace. ”
After saying that, Meng Xiuyuan picked up a bowl of rice wine with both hands and respectfully offered it to Qiao Sanhuai first.
Seeing this, although Uncle Qiao still didn't believe Meng Xiuyuan's words in his heart, he still nodded hurriedly, and took the wine bowl carefully with a forced smile, not wanting Meng Xiuyuan to lose face.
But he didn't want to, as soon as his hand touched the wine bowl, he involuntarily cried out with an "ah", and the wine bowl immediately fell off the table.
"You old man, what are you doing, it's really useless, you can't even hold the bowl......"
Seeing this, Aunt Qiao on the side thought that her husband had failed Meng Xiuyuan's kindness by slipping his hand for a while, and deliberately complained to him for the sake of the round.
But just as she wanted to get up and find a rag to clean up the mess, she was suddenly surprised to find that not a single drop of wine had spilled from the wine bowl that had fallen on the table.
Aunt Qiao was surprised, and wanted to bring the wine bowl over to take a closer look, but when she started it, she couldn't help but let out an "ah" sound.
This wine bowl is cold and prickly to the touch, and the wine in the bowl has already frozen, no wonder it can't be spilled.
"This ...... Brother Meng, did you really learn the immortal method from the immortals? ”
Qiao Sanhuai looked at Meng Xiuyuan and asked in disbelief.
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he shook his head with a smile, and then took the wine bowl and respectfully presented it to Qiao Sanhuai:
"It's not an immortal method, it's just martial arts.
Uncle Qiao, looking at your complexion, it should be that the lungs are hot and dry.
Drinking some of this cold rice wine is good for your body. ”
Qiao Sanhuai took the wine bowl and looked at it carefully, it turned out that the wine in this bowl was just a thin layer of ice on it, and it was not frozen tightly. has been delayed by both sides, and it has melted slightly.
The rice wine is cold and refreshing, and it does feel that the heat in the chest is greatly relieved, and it is indescribably comfortable.
At the same time, Meng Xiuyuan picked up another bowl of wine and respectfully served Aunt Qiao:
"Auntie, I see that your spleen and stomach are cold, so you can drink some hot food."
Aunt Qiao carefully took the wine bowl, and sure enough, she felt that the wine bowl in her hand was hot but not hot.
The liquor enters the mouth, warm from the throat to the stomach pouch, and is unusually comfortable.
When they put down the wine bowl and looked up at Meng Xiuyuan again, the expressions on the faces of the old couple had changed, and they were surprised and relieved, and they all lost the forced smile just now.
Meng Xiuyuan's single-handed skills can be said to have conquered the couple in a moment, so that they no longer doubt.
In fact, Mo said that it was an old couple who lacked martial arts knowledge, and even Qiao Feng, who was silently watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but sigh for Meng Xiuyuan's kung fu, and admired it very much in his heart.
This is hot wine with internal strength, which is not a difficult thing for Qiao Feng. Let him exert his full strength, even if he uses internal force to boil a large vat of water, it is just a little more effort.
But he knew that it was not easy for a person to freeze the wine and heat it at the same time.
After all, the internal force that a person cultivates is either masculine, feminine, or neutral and peaceful.
Like Meng Xiuyuan, the transformation of yin and yang in a moment is really an extremely advanced internal force skill, and Qiao Feng thinks that he can't do it.
In fact, the reason why Meng Xiuyuan has such a hand is mainly due to the characteristics of both yin and yang of the Northern Soul True Qi he cultivated, supplemented by his extremely profound meditation cultivation, it is not difficult to make ice and heat it with a wave of his hand.
And the previous one-handed telekinesis was also learned when he was exchanging martial arts with Wuyazi in the Heavenly Deaf and Dumb Valley.
It can only be said that the kung fu of the free school does have its magic and uniqueness.
At least in these bells and whistles, it is far better than the restrained Wudang Kung Fu that Meng Xiuyuan learned in his previous life.
……
"Okay, Brother Meng not only came back safely, but also learned a great skill.
It seems that we, the old couple, really don't know anything, and we're all worrying about it......"
"I said a long time ago, Brother Meng is strong, smart and clever, and he is not an ordinary character by nature.
He can be valued by the old immortals, and he should be accepted to teach martial arts.
Sooner or later, there will definitely be a day when there will be a future. ”
Qiao Sanhuai and his wife looked at Meng Xiuyuan, who was full of energy, and couldn't help but feel very emotional, and they were all very relieved.
At the dinner table, even Aunt Qiao, who usually never drank alcohol, drank two more bowls of rice wine, and Uncle Qiao drank happily with Qiao Feng and Meng Xiuyuan.
Until the old couple were drunk and tired, the sky happened to gradually darken.
Meng Xiuyuan and Qiao Feng helped Qiao Sanhuai and his wife into the house, and after simply cleaning up the mess on the table, they each brought two pots of wine, quietly walked out of the house with a tacit understanding, and walked out of the village quickly with light skills.
On the hill outside the village, the evening breeze was blowing, and the two sat on the ground, talking and laughing and drinking.
"Brother Qiao, I rarely drink alcohol when I come and go.
If I remember correctly, all the wine in this life is drunk with you. ”
Meng Xiuyuan shook his slightly drunk head and said with a smile at Qiao Feng.
"Haha, good boy, isn't it right to drink some wine?
Wine is less than a thousand cups of confidants, and it is interesting to drink with heroes.
Come, Brother Meng, I respect you, I respect you for taking my father and mother to heart like this, much more competent than me as a son. ”
Qiao Feng laughed, and poured himself a big sip of wine as he spoke.
Meng Xiuyuan shook his head when he heard this, and also lifted the wine jug and said to Qiao Feng:
"My uncle and aunt are very kind to me, and it is only natural for me to respect them.
But Brother Qiao, you're right, this wine really has to be drunk with heroes and heroes to be more refreshing. ”
After that, Meng Xiuyuan also raised his head and drank heavily, which was very different from his usual ethereal appearance.
The two chatted while drinking, talking about the things they had encountered on the rivers and lakes over the years, and talking about their experiences when they were practicing martial arts, which was so unpleasant.
It's just that Meng Xiuyuan came from his previous life after all, and many things were inconvenient to explain, so he couldn't help but feel a little bit more about the lake.
Qiao Feng didn't care when he heard it, because he could feel that although the experience of this Meng brother in the past few years was quite mysterious, the kindness and justice in him could not be concealed.
Especially when Meng Xiuyuan inadvertently talked about some robbers, bandits, and innocent people he encountered, he spoke very really and vividly.
Qiao Feng understood that he had to be a great chivalrous warrior who often punished evil and promoted good, and helped the needy, in order to have Meng Xiuyuan's words and deeds.
At this point, Qiao Feng couldn't help but open his mind and said to Meng Xiuyuan sincerely:
"Brother Meng, I can see that you are not only strong in martial arts, but also rare to have a benevolent and chivalrous heart.
But I don't know, what do you think of the current situation between the Liao and Song dynasties? ”
Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know why Qiao Feng suddenly mentioned this.
Qiao Feng saw that Meng Xiuyuan was silent, so he thought that he was still young and didn't have much to do with national affairs, so he opened his mouth and said to him again:
"Brother Meng, it is naturally excellent for you to help the poor and help the poor on the rivers and lakes, punish the evil and promote the good.
It's just that today, the most harmful to the people of our Great Song Dynasty is the Khitan people in the north who have wolf ambitions.
You may have never been to the Liao-Song border, so you haven't seen the tragic situation there......
Every time those Khitan dog thieves cross the border and come to our Great Song Dynasty to 'fight the grass valley', I don't know how many evil deeds they will commit and how many innocent Song families will be ruined.
I hate that the Great Song Dynasty is weak, so I can only let it go.
My beggar gang disciples, for many years, have been fighting against the Khitan dog thieves everywhere in order to protect the family and defend the country.
Brother Meng, if you have nothing to do, you can go to the Liaosong Border Pass to have a look, and naturally everything is understood. ”
Between Qiao Feng's words, anger was rampant, and his already majestic and majestic appearance became more and more terrifying, and a pair of thick and vigorous hands clenched into fists, as if he was eager to go to the border of the Liao and Song Dynasty to fight with the Khitans at this moment.
Seeing him like this, Meng Xiu couldn't help but take a deep breath and frown when he thought about his bloodline.
After a long time, Meng Xiuyuan slowly spoke and asked Qiao Feng:
"Brother Qiao, have you ever killed the Khitans with your own hands?"
Qiao Feng laughed when he heard this, looked at the slightly sad look on Meng Xiuyuan's face, and immediately said aloud:
"Hahaha, that's nature, not only killed, but also killed.
From the Khitan cavalry who invaded my borders to the Khitan generals who commanded the army, as long as I met them, I didn't let them go at all.
I think that when the former Wang gang leader of the beggar gang wanted to pass on the location to me, he set up three major problems for me, and asked me to do seven major contributions, several of which were to assassinate the important officers on the border of Liao.
Brother Meng, I know that you are kind, but the Khitan dog thieves are fierce and cruel, if you don't kill them, it will be a great disadvantage to the people of my Great Song Dynasty.
Don't be too hesitant to deal with them. ”
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he felt more and more uncomfortable in his heart, but he still nodded and said to Qiao Feng:
"As a Han Chinese, I will not ignore the suffering of my compatriots.
If those Khitans want to offend my people, commit adultery and plunder, I will not care. ”
When Qiao Feng saw Meng Xiuyuan's attitude, he only felt that what he said just now was not in vain, and he couldn't help but feel very relieved. smiled and patted Meng Xiuyuan's shoulder, did not speak, but raised his head and poured a large sip of wine happily.
And Meng Xiuyuan was also secretly observing Qiao Feng's expression at this time, and seeing him with such a mentality, he couldn't help but sigh for this big brother Qiao.
Originally, when Meng Xiuyuan was at the dinner table in the afternoon, he still thought that even if it was for the sake of Qiao Sanhuai and his wife's face, should he go to the beggar gang and find a way to start with Mrs. Kang Min and strangle the series of conspiracies against Qiao Feng in the future.
But now it seems that the tragedy of Qiao Feng's life has set the tone since he was born.
If you hide it from Qiao Feng, let him continue to live as the leader of the beggar gang, and let him continue to help the Song people kill their Khitan compatriots, wouldn't it be very cruel.
Xu is to make a complete fuss, so that Qiao Feng's beggars will completely become Xiao Feng, and he will live a more real life in the future.
For a while, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to help this bold and generous man.
Qiao Feng put down the wine jug, and when he saw Meng Xiuyuan's gloomy look, he couldn't help but say:
"What's wrong, Brother Meng, what's wrong?
Yes...... Actually, I'm just talking casually, not forcing you to do anything, you don't have to take it to heart.
Let's not talk about that, come on, and get on drinking! ”
Seeing this, Qiao Feng thought that the topic was too heavy, which made Meng Xiuyuan uncomfortable, so he smiled and waved his hand, and lifted the wine jug again.
It's just that this time, Meng Xiuyuan didn't continue to drink with Qiao Feng, but after pondering for a while, he suddenly said to Qiao Feng:
"Brother Qiao, it's not interesting for us to just drink.
Since I achieved kung fu, I really haven't met too many masters other than my master.
Why don't we two go through two hands? ”
