Chapter 7: Life is Like a Dream
Uncle Long said in a low voice: "Hey, boy, what are you doing in a daze?"
Lin Xiu retracted his gaze, breathed a sigh of relief gently, and slowly shook his head and said, "It's nothing, let's go!", after speaking, he actually took the lead and walked towards the courtyard.
Uncle Long was stunned, and then muttered dissatisfiedly: "Damn, the young man is deeper than Lao Tzu!
Qianliu, who was originally at the end, pouted and said: "Look at your whole body, how can you match the word deep." Is it strange to walk ahead of you?"
When the words fell, she walked past the other party with her head up, leaving only Uncle Long with a stunned face alone in the wind...... After a while, Uncle Long took a deep breath, looked at Qianliu's distant back, and was not angry but happy, and muttered: "What a good seedling, and his personality is just right, well, not bad......."
Lin Xiu came to the front of the courtyard, and his face became more and more emotional.
He slowly stretched out a hand and landed on the courtyard wall surrounded by a wooden fence, after a gentle rubbing. Then he looked at the firewood scattered on the ground and the rusty axe in the courtyard, his eyes gradually softened, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After a moment he muttered, "Are you doing well?"
Qianliu frowned slightly, staring at Lin Xiu, who was behaving strangely, for a while, a deep and inexplicable light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then he muttered, "You...... Before...... Isn't it ......"
But before Chiyanagi could finish his words, the door of the wooden house in the courtyard squeaked open.
A sturdy man walked out of it, and when he saw the three people standing outside the wooden fence, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said with some uncertainty on his lips: "...... you guys"
Uncle Long took a step forward, showed a more kind and kind smile and said: "This strong man, I took two apprentices to play in the mountains and rivers, and felt nature, I just happened to pass by here, and I want to spend a night here, I don't know if it is convenient?"
Dahan's gaze fell on the three of them's ragged clothes, and a hint of hesitation appeared on their faces.
Seeing this, Uncle Long let out a somewhat embarrassed laugh, and hesitated slightly: "Hey, I'm not afraid of strong men's jokes, I'm a bad guy and I've always had a crush on his senior sister." No, this time in order to pick a strange flower to please his senior sister, he accidentally stumbled and fell off the cliff...... Fortunately, it was blocked by a bearded green pine. Later, in order to save him, his senior sister and I tried our best to save him, and we went through life and death several times...... That's why it's so embarrassing, hey, what do you say this unlucky kid is doing?"
Uncle Long's remarks, except for himself, the other three of the four people in the audience were all stunned. Lin Xiu was fine, but he felt a little speechless, and Qianliu cast a murderous gaze at Uncle Long.
The big man's gaze kept sweeping over the faces of the three people, and after a while, he suddenly took a deep breath, opened the courtyard gate made of wooden fences, and said to the three people: "I see, come on, come in, come in, in the mountains and wilderness, if the hospitality is not good, don't be surprised!"
Uncle Long smiled: "No blame, no blame!"
Dahan's eyes were slightly condensed, and he turned around and led everyone towards the house.
Entering the room, the big man beckoned a few people to sit down, then picked up the teapot on the table, poured a bowl of tea for each of the three people, Uncle Long picked up the steaming tea, sniffed it gently, and said intoxicatedly: "Good tea!"
The big man grinned and said, "It's just some broken tea leaves, where is the good tea?"
Uncle Long shook his head and said: "For me and others who have drunk a lot of Tianshan wind and dew, this cup of steaming tea at this time is like the rain of the sky, and the strong man has a heart." ”
Dahan smiled: "Then you must be hungry, wait a minute, I'll get you something to eat."
Uncle Long bowed slightly and said, "It's really hard!"
The big man turned and left. Looking at the back of the other party's departure, Uncle Long squinted his eyes and smiled silently. And Lin Xiu and Qianliu both held bowls in both hands, bowed their heads and drank tea, without saying a word.
After a while, the curtain of the door was lifted, and the big man flashed in, followed by a woman with a beautiful face, each with some food, and walked towards Lin Xiu and the others.
Lin Xiu hurriedly got up and reached out to pick up the things in the other party's hand, and the big man smiled: "Sit, sit down, this is my mother-in-law." ”
The woman smiled and nodded to a few people, Uncle Long nodded in return, Qianliu bowed her head and said nothing, and Lin Xiu said politely: "Hello aunt!"
With a kind smile on the woman's face, after putting the food in her hand on the table, her eyes fell on Qianliu's body, and then she said softly: "Girl, I see that your clothes are very damaged, and girls are inconvenient outside, if you don't dislike it, it's better to change into my clothes first!"
Qianliu was slightly stunned, looked up at the woman, looking at the other party's gentle gaze, she didn't know what she thought, her eyes were red, and she nodded lightly.
The woman dragged Qianliu into the inner room, and only the three of Dahan, Uncle Long and Lin Xiu were left in the field.
Dahan hurriedly beckoned the two of them to use the dishes, Uncle Long took a bite of the food, and said casually: "How long have the strong men lived here, I remember that I traveled here a few years ago, and there is no one here."
Dahan's eyes were slightly condensed, and then he grinned and said, "Distinguished guest, you are right, it has only been two or three years since my mother-in-law and I moved here."
Uncle Long said with a smile: "Longtanling is a good place, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and the charm is full!"
Dahan said with a sincere face: "Yes, it is indeed a good place!"
Uncle Long continued: "A quiet life is not easy to come by, you should cherish it!"
The big man's hand under the table tightened slightly, and then smiled: "Your guest is reasonable, reasonable!"
Lin Xiu raised his head slightly, and glanced at Uncle Long a little strangely, but he didn't speak, and Uncle Long stopped talking, and the scene was a little cold for a while.
Fortunately, this desertion did not last long, and after a while, the curtain of the inner room moved, and Qian Ning walked out.
Lin Xiu looked up, and the next moment he was involuntarily stunned.
At this time, Qianliu was wearing a linen long skirt, without any hairpin ornaments on her head, and the three thousand green silk naturally hung down on her shoulders. Perhaps because she was not used to the new clothes, she bowed her head slightly, grabbed the hem of her clothes with her hands a little cramped, and her body was completely free of the usual domineering, but had a touch of delicate and subtle atmosphere, just like a real little jasper.
Uncle Long smiled: "Well, yes, this little willow tree is really worthy of its name!"
The door curtain was lifted again, and the woman walked out of it with a smile on her face, enthusiastically grabbed Qianliu's jade arm, and said softly: "This child is really handsome, and he looks good in anything."
After speaking, he said to Qianliu: "Let's go eat something!"
Qianliu said softly, "Auntie, you should come along!" The woman smiled and said, "You eat first, I still have soup stewed on the stove." ”
After saying that, he lifted the curtain and walked out.
Chiyanagi sat at the table, bowing her head and saying nothing.
Uncle Long suddenly said in a strange tone: "Boy, don't look at it, the saliva is coming out"
Hearing this, Lin Xiu was slightly stunned, and subconsciously raised his hand to wipe his saliva, but he suddenly froze halfway through, and glanced at the other party with an embarrassed face.
Uncle Long laughed, and the corners of Qianliu's mouth set off a slight arc.
The meal was quickly finished, and the man and the woman took the dishes and opened the house.
Uncle Long suddenly said, "Help me out!"
Lin Xiu was stunned for a moment, a little unclear, after all, although Uncle Long seemed to be weak along the way, he walked by himself.
But when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the beads of sweat on the other party's forehead, he was shocked, and hurriedly reached out to help him, Qianliu hesitated, and also walked to the other side to support the other party.
With the support of the two, Uncle Long came to the courtyard with heavy steps, and then sat down on a short wooden pier near the wooden fence courtyard wall in the courtyard. ”
Lin Xiu and Qianliu's eyes flashed with a touch of incomprehension, but at this moment, Uncle Long smiled and said, "The virtuous couple has also greeted this good wine and food, now you can talk to me about life and ideals." ”
When the words fell, there were two more figures in the courtyard, it was the big man and the woman. It's just that at this moment, Dahan's face no longer has the simplicity of Fang Cai, and is replaced by a touch of murder.
The woman's face was also completely smiling, and although there was no murderous intent in her eyes, her face was frosty, and her complexion was extremely unkind.
Lin Xiu was completely stunned, and he was a little confused for a while.
And Qianliu's eyes were slightly condensed, revealing a thoughtful look.
Uncle Long smiled and patted Lin Xiu's shoulder, and did not forget to teach: "Boy, do you know what rivers and lakes are now? It would be an overestimate to say that you can't live for two days, but now it seems that one day is your limit." ”
Lin Xiu looked at the other party's gradually gray lips, and suddenly said, "You are poisoned?"
Uncle Long rolled his eyes, a little speechless at his hindsight.
At this moment, the big man said in a deep voice: "You already knew that I poisoned you?"
Uncle Long smiled: "What do you say? The chopsticks are smeared with poison, is it very fresh?"
Dahan's eyes shrank, and he said in a condensed voice: "Then you still eat?"
Uncle Long smiled: "If you don't eat, how can I force you to do it? Everyone is very busy, why waste time? You are also pretending to be quite tired, the key is that I look even more tired." ”
Dahan's face became gloomy.
Lin Xiu frowned and said, "Why am I not poisoned?"
Qianliu said in a deep voice, "That's because they didn't want to kill us!"
Uncle Long smiled: "Boy, even the little willow tree is stronger than you, do you say you are ashamed?"
Qianliu glared at the other party, and Lin Xiu was dumbfounded, but then, he suddenly thought of something, his face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "What now?"
Uncle Long said angrily: "How the do I know what to do? It's you who protect me and not me who protects you." ”
Lin Xiu's mouth opened slightly and muttered, "But my current cultivation is ......."
Halfway through his words, he caught a glimpse of the other party's devastated eyes, and suddenly closed his mouth.
At this moment, the woman whispered, "Son, go, this matter has nothing to do with you." ”
Qian Ning stared at the woman, and said in a deep voice, "You're not afraid that we will leak the news?"
The woman sighed softly, glanced at the big man beside her, and slowly shook her head.
......

Drunken Eyes wishes you all a happy New Year, a happy family, and all the best!
