It had been a long time since Xie Qingyun left, and Xu Huaigu was still sitting by the stream, quietly listening to the stream, thinking about some things.

It wasn't until sunset that the sunset gradually turned red, and Xu Huaigu came back to his senses, slowly stood up, and counted the time, it was almost time to go to the restaurant for a banquet. So he walked back the way he had come, and went straight to the restaurant.

Qingfeng Valley has a large territory, but there are few sect disciples, so it is rare to meet people in places other than the main road, especially at night. Only on the way to the restaurant, the crowd is endless.

This restaurant that opened in the valley at some point can sit down hundreds of people, and at night, it is very lively and full. A total of more than 600 Rao Qingfeng Valley, every night there are more than 100 monks in the restaurant to drink, the prevalence of the wine style, can be called a must.

Xu Huaigu stepped into the threshold of the restaurant, only to see that there was no seat in the restaurant for a long time, and he couldn't help but worry that he was late again. He was about to find the old shopkeeper to arrange a table for him, but he heard someone on the second floor near the railing shouting to him: "Brother Xu, come here, I've been waiting for a long time!" "Read

Xu Huaigu looked up and saw that it was Li Siqing and An Xiaoyu. The two of them were looking for a table to sit at the bar, and they looked at him with a smile on their faces. So he hurried up the stairs, sat down at the wine table, and confessed: "Come late, come late, punish yourself with three glasses." ”

Li Siqing hurriedly stopped him and said, "It's not too late, it's just night, and no one else has come." ”

Xu Huaigu looked at the empty seat, and couldn't help but feel a little impressed. Originally, he was looking forward to seeing Liu Wan'er again, but after listening to Xie Qingyun's words now, he was a little overwhelmed, and his mood was very complicated at the moment.

A woman with a sword walked in at the door, with short hair up to her shoulders, wearing a green cedar skirt, and a belt around her waist was loosely tied, similar to Xie Qingyun's dress. She was neither tall nor short, neither plump nor thin, and was appropriately proportionate. As soon as she entered the door, she only looked into the lobby, Xu Huaigu felt something, and saw the woman in the crowd at a glance. Although I haven't seen him for many years, he is a lot taller, but the style between his eyebrows and eyes is difficult to change. This woman is not Liu Wan'er, who else could it be?

Xu Huaigu saw her first, and his eyes stayed on her body, unable to move away. Li Siqing was busy biting her ear and talking to An Xiaoyu, so she didn't notice Liu Wan'er at all, and naturally she didn't greet her. I saw Liu Wan'er's eyes looking around the lobby, but she didn't see her friends, she looked up and just saw it, and happened to collide with Xu Huaigu's eyes, and she was stunned for a while. Errao's gaze passed through the hustle and bustle of the crowd, and they all stayed on each other's bodies.

Quietly, but like a thousand words.

After Li Siqing and An Xiaoyu finished whispering, they smiled, turned their heads sideways and looked at the door of the restaurant, only to see that Liu Wan'er had already come in, and was about to call her, but An Xiaoyu pushed with his elbow, glanced at him again, and signaled him to stop. Li Siqing swallowed the words back into his stomach in confusion, An Xiaoyu glanced at the two of them with his eyes, and Li Siqing saw that Xu Huaigu and Liu Wan'er's eyes had already met, but neither of them could take a step, and they were just speechless.

The wine table fell silent, Li Siqing was interested, and did not bother the two, only after the two looked at each other for a long time, Liu Wan'er turned her eyes to the side and took a step upstairs.

The table is boxy, with exactly one person sitting on one side. Li Siqing and An Xiaoyu naturally sat next to each other, and Liu Wan'er had no choice, so she could only sit next to Xu Huaigu.

Li Siqing hurriedly went downstairs to the counter to get wine, and took several jars of wine in one trip, which caused An Xiaoyu to glance at him several times with a cold face. But he only smiled, and made up his mind to have a good drink tonight, put a sea bowl in front of everyone, opened the wine seal, poured wine, and said with a smile: "It's really rare, there are two rare guests who can be present at the same time, and they should drink booze tonight!" I'll float a big white first! ”

Anyway, he just raised the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. When the rest of the people saw this, they all drank one after another. However, although Xu Huaigu was immersed in drinking, he still glanced at Liu Wan'er beside him. She lowered her eyelids, her lips touched the rim of the bowl, and she only took two sips.

Li Siqing poured himself another wine, An Xiaoyu patted him and whispered to him to drink less, Li Siqing had to smile and agree, and the two began to chat. Xu Huaigu glanced at the two of them, then looked at Liu Wan'er, and saw that she was still only staring at the wine bowl, so he greeted softly: "Long time no see." ”

Liu Wan'er glanced up at him, nodded and said, "It's true that I haven't seen him for a long time." ”

"You seem to be getting taller again."

Liu Wan'er laughed lightly, two dimples appeared on her cheeks, and said, "After all, I was still young at that time, of course I had to grow taller." ”

Xu Huaigu smiled and nodded, and Liu Wan'er asked him, "When did you come to Qingfeng Valley?" ”

"Two years ago, after I came, I went to find Li Siqing first, and then I found you."

"You're the only one?"

"No, there are Yu Qin and Ruyu, the three of us came together. However, Yu Qin is now in retreat, and Ruyu has gone to the mountains to play, so I am the only one who comes to the banquet. ”

Hearing the word Yu Qin, Liu Wan'er nodded slightly, and then asked, "Who is Ruyu?" ”

"It was a child I took in on the border at the time, a ......" Xu Huaigu paused, "a demon child." ”

He originally thought that Liu Wan'er would ask immediately when she heard the word demon clan, but when she saw that she just nodded abruptly, she said, "I heard it from Li Siqing before, so I will visit you and see him again." ”

Xu Huaigu agreed, and the two chatted slowly, but due to the presence of Li Siqing and An Xiaoyu, the topic was only limited to daily greetings and did not expand. Xu Huaigu just felt that Liu Wan'er had become much more restrained than before, maybe it was just because she was in front of others, she was not as serious as Xie Qingyun, and she was a little relieved.

Several people drank one after another, but the atmosphere at the wine table never became warm. Although everyone in the restaurant saw Li Siqing coming, but in view of An Xiaoyu being by his side, he did not make a fuss as Xu Huaigu saw that night, and most of them only secretly glanced at it from a distance, scolded in their hearts, and drank two more bowls of wine with some jealousy. If you take a few more looks, you will inevitably be glared back by An Xiaoyu coldly, everyone knows how powerful An Xiaoyu is, so naturally they will not be bored.

It was almost midnight, and several jars on the wine table were already phosphorus. Even though An Xiaoyu persuaded him several times, Li Siqing still drank the most, and at this time he was already drunk and about to lie on the table, Xu Huaigu and Liu Wan'er had something on their minds, so they didn't drink much.

An Xiaoyu looked at Li Siqing half-drunk and half-awake and about to pour wine, with a helpless face, pushed the wine bowl, took his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Look at how you have drunk, you still have to entertain guests, and only care about drinking yourself." ”

Li Siqing smiled, shook her hand tightly, and took advantage of a little alcohol, and said, "I haven't drunk it for too long, it's a bit upset, don't be angry, I will definitely listen to you next time." ”

An Xiaoyu was thin-skinned and couldn't hang up, the roots of his ears were slightly red, he half-pushed him and half-supported him up, and said to Xu Huaigu and Liu Wan'er apologetically: "This guy has drunk too much, and it's not too early, I'll get him home." It's rare for the two of you to get together, so let's sit down again, and we'll go first. ”

Liu Wan'er hurriedly stood up, stepped forward and said, "Senior Sister An, I'll help you." ”

An Xiaoyu smiled: "I'm not a wasted person, I just got a half-drunk person home, and I don't need your help." You can sit back and talk to Xu Huaigu for a while. ”

Liu Wan'er listened, so she had to sit back in her place. An Xiaoyu helped Li Siqing, staggered downstairs, settled the bill at the counter, and then left the restaurant and went straight home. The monks watched An Xiaoyu help Li Siqing away, and it wasn't until they walked away that a sigh sounded.

Xu Huaigu couldn't help but smile when he heard everyone sighing, and said, "How many people envy them." ”

Liu Wan'er cut her hair, smiled lightly, and said: "The matter of the two of them, a person who guessed it didn't have Sakura I have never seen Senior Sister An be so gentle with a person before, if another person doesn't listen to her advice to drink to the death, I'm afraid that the flying sword will already be on the neck." ”

Xu Huaigu brought a jar with some wine left, poured a bowl of wine for Liu Wan'er, and then opened the conversation and asked, "How have you been doing in Middle-earth all these years?" ”

Liu Wan'er took a sip of wine and recalled, "It's okay, it's just a trip around." When I first arrived at a sect, I stayed for no more than two months, or at least ten years, and then moved to the next family. Some sects are kind, and when they heard that we came from Dongfu Yaozhou, they received us and treated each other as guests; There are also some sects that hear that we are from Dongfu Yaozhou, and they are silent on the surface, but behind the scenes, they laugh at us as lost dogs, and we can't reason with them, so we can only swallow it. In this way, in a few years, most of the Middle Earth has also been visited, and I gradually feel that the great sects of Middle Earth are just like that, and the time is almost right, so I simply left them and returned to Dongfuyao Continent. ”

"The rest didn't come back?"

Liu Wan'er shook her head and said, "Originally, I went out as an exile from Dongfu Yaozhou, but now that the demon clan is pressing, what's the difference if you can't come back?" They also thought about it, and simply didn't come back. ”

She paused, then said, "But I can't think of it." ”

When Xu Huaigu heard her about this, he couldn't help but take two sips of stuffy wine, and said: "I also know the taste of leaving home, it's really uncomfortable." ”

Liu Wan'er quietly looked at the wine in the wine bowl and said softly: "I can't leave this sect, if Qingfeng Valley is going to die, I will definitely die in the front." The mountains and rivers here gave birth to me and raised me, and I will eventually return here. ”

Xu Huaigu raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp, poured himself wine, and drank several bowls in a row before he felt a little comfortable in his heart, and frowned: "Is there any way to let Qingfeng Valley survive this catastrophe safely?" ”

Liu Wan'er shook her head and said, "No Sakura"

"So you have to stay here? Xie Qingyun is still with me, let me take you away. She won't want to see you do that. ”

Liu Wan'er still shook her head, didn't drink, just looked at the wine side quietly. Under the calm look, I don't know what kind of turbulent waves are in my heart. Xu Huaigu looked at her side face, Xie Qingyun was right, she had really changed a lot, at least she wouldn't hide her emotions like this before.

Xu Huaigu was bored in his heart, so he just buried his head in drinking, but he didn't realize that it was the second half of the night, and even the people in the restaurant gradually left, leaving only the old shopkeeper still sitting behind the counter, staring at the counter expressionlessly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"You really can't leave with me?"

Liu Wan'er shook her head resolutely and said, "No." ”

Xu Huaigu poured another bowl full of wine, and drank it with his head up.

Liu Wan'er raised her hand to stop him, frowned and persuaded, "You drank too much." ”

Xu Huaigu had been sulking for a long time, and as soon as Liu Wan'er grabbed the wine bowl at this time, he couldn't hold it anymore, and slammed the wine bowl on the table, which was immediately shattered, and Liu Wan'er's face was bloodless, and she looked at him in a daze.

"Why, why is each of you thinking about death! They all want to die with the sect and the country! You tell me, why! ”

Xu Huaigu's face was flushed, and he only felt that he had never been so angry in his life. Anyway, there were no outsiders in the restaurant, so he simply broke the jar and said angrily: "The demon clan is coming, Xingyue Sect is dead, Liang Chen is dead, Xia Ying is dead." Dayu Kingdom also died, Lin Cangyang died for her country, and hundreds of thousands of people in Xingqing City also died! Now you're going to be buried in the Valley of the Breeze too, tell me why! I won't leave at all, anyway, the left and right are dead words, and I'll die together, okay! ”

Liu Wan'er looked at him in a daze and didn't say a word.

The old shopkeeper had mixed feelings, took out a pipe from under the counter, and slowly lit it.

After venting his anger, Xu Huaigu took two deep breaths, and seemed to feel that it was hard to meet again, and he had to go too far, and his heart was messy for a while.

Liu Wan'er pursed her lips, gritted her teeth and said, "You're drunk, go back." ”

Xu Huaigu immediately raised his sword and got up, Liu Wan'er also got up to follow, Xu Huaigu paused for a moment, and still went out of the restaurant.

The old shopkeeper watched the two walk away, looked at the cold restaurant again, spat out the smoke ring, bowed his head and was silent for a long time, before he sighed to himself: "No matter how lively the banquet is, it will eventually disperse." ”
