Volume 1 The Rise of Dingxi Chapter 72 Talking about the Expression and the Heart [I]
As the figure approached, Ou Xiao'e turned to put away her posture.
The look on his face became complicated and restrained.
She hurriedly drank the wine in her glass, and immediately stood up, ignoring the drops of wine lying at the corners of her mouth.
"Master, why are you here?"
The person Liu Ruiying saw in the afterglow was the head of the Ou family, the contemporary 'sword' Ou Yaming.
Liu Ruiying also got up, and politely clasped his fists and saluted:
"I've seen the head of the Ou family!"
This is the minimum respect for seniors and the strong.
Ou Yaming was wearing an ink-colored antique satin jacket, embellished with a moon-white auspicious cloud pattern, with sideburns like clouds, a pair of handsome and peaceful eyes, and a tall and elegant figure.
Seeing that the two of them got up, they looked at the wine that had just been poured in the glass, and were a little entangled in whether to stand up after drinking or stand up and say hello and sit down to drink again.
The glass of wine with three halves is never used to hold wine, but to be used to shabu the glass.
Because every time the wine was full, he would take it and drink it all.
This wine is just a formality in the glass, and it is just a circle.
Now to get him up and salute, doesn't that ruin the rhythm of his drinking?
So the wine three halves got up and drank at the same time.
When you stand up straight, the wine in your glass is gone.
But there was no delay on either side.
It's inevitably a bit vulgar to just hold a wine glass to say hello, but the third half of the wine doesn't understand this.
It was already a rare thing for him to be able to get up with Liu Ruiying and Ou Xiao'e, but he couldn't ask him so much.
"I've only been here for a long time. When I heard that you and your two friends arrived at Bogu Building, I thought about going out and walking around the street, maybe I could meet them. ”
Ou Yaming's tone is balanced and his demeanor is elegant, which does not match the name of this 'sword' at all, but looks like a teacher in Bogulou.
"I wonder if I'll be able to join?"
Ou Yaming asked.
When Ou Xiao'e heard this, she was so panicked that she didn't have time to answer, so she immediately beckoned and called Xiao Er to add another seat.
Ou Yaming saw that the wine glass was still rubbing in his hand, and he took the initiative to pour a full glass for him.
"Why are you so polite? My sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, how can I ever care about the defense of etiquette and religion!"
Ou Yaming's words suddenly shortened the distance between four people with different identities and different ages a lot.
It has always been said that there is no seniority on the wine table.
But even the order of the seats is in an orderly manner, and who can not care about the difference between identity and age between pushing the cup and changing the lamp?
If this generation is only counted as age, everyone will indeed be much more comfortable.
But even the best good man in the world will not respect the old beggar who is nearly seventy years old at the door.
Seniority is no longer just a simple number like age.
It represents more of a person's status and identity.
Maybe a little bit of experience.
However, having more experience does not mean that the status is high.
People respect Di Weitai, respect Huo Wang, respect Ou Yaming, and more often only respect the chair sitting under their buttocks, and the title on their heads.
Whoever sits in this chair will be like this, and whoever changes this title will be the same.
Ou Yaming did not drink, but turned his head out the window, as if to seize the last moment of dusk and take a few more looks.
"I'm here to meet friends. ”
Ou Yaming said.
This is the provincial Ou Xiao'e asked.
She didn't dare to ask.
As a member of the Ou family, the head of the family is naturally a supreme existence and cannot be shaken.
She only passively listens and receives.
"Is your friend Lu Mingming?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"Your master is one, but there are still three. ”
Ou Yaming said.
"But after drinking this pot of wine, the three of you better leave quickly. ”
Ou Yaming said.
Liu Ruiying was puzzled.
Only then did Ou Yaming keep saying that he wanted to join it.
Not to mention that the wine has been over three rounds and the dishes have five flavors, he has just poured a glass of wine for the third and a half of the wine, but it is not even half a tour.
Liu Ruiying didn't know why after falling Bogulou, everyone persuaded him to leave.
The previous man in white, Du Yan, persuaded himself to leave Bogulou, and now Ou Yaming persuaded him to leave this wine table as soon as they met.
"I wonder what Your Excellency means?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
Although this sentence sounded a little dissatisfied, Liu Ruiying was really puzzled before asking.
"Because none of my friends have a very good temper. ”
Ou Yaming said.
"Bad temper?"
Liu Ruiying was puzzled.
"Yes, it's a bad temper...... It's not so bad that you want to kill me as soon as we meet. ”
Ou Yaming said, and at the same time shook his head with a helpless smile.
Liu Ruiying knows that there is a kind of relationship in the world called the friend of life and death.
That's because of the friendship that comes from having experienced life and death together.
The friendship between life and death pays attention to living and dying together, but it is not what Ou Yangming said.
There are naturally a lot of life-and-death feelings.
Then make revenge.
Kill you for revenge, for revenge.
Who in the world would regard their enemies as friends?
There are many friends who turn against each other, such as Liu Jinghao and Du Yan, who is the man in white.
If you become an enemy, you will never be able to touch the word friend again.
However, enemies are often more persistent than friends.
Friends may be a little lazy because they are close and familiar with each other.
But the enemy will not, the enemy will stare at you like a goshawk and a hungry wolf, always alert and sharp, and will not relax in the slightest.
Liu Ruiying didn't know what kind of bad-tempered friends Ou Yaming should count, but he knew very well that Ou Yaming was a weird person.
The first blame is because he and the deer are obviously very good.
Lu Ming was able to maintain the Wendao status of Huang Luoyue in the community, and lived in seclusion in Jingping Town to strike iron, which shows that he is a strange person.
Naturally, the friends of weirdos will not be normal, they will only be weirdos.
The second strange thing is his elegant temperament.
If you are chanting the wind and playing with the moon, the dance poems and essays are still a good match.
But to say that he is the strongest swordsmith today, the best weapon shop, and the head of the Ou family who has excellent personal relations with many strong people, the contemporary 'sword', but it is impossible to say it in any way.
The third blame is his words.
What do you mean by 'my generation of sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, how have you ever cared about the great defense of etiquette and religion'?
This was said by Ren Yang, and Liu Ruiying would not be the slightest surprised.
After all, although his cultivation is shocking, he is still a duckweed above the rivers and lakes, a prodigal son in a turbulent world, and he has indeed never cared about anyone's ethics.
Ou Yaming is different, there are no rules, there is no circle.
Once the subordinate relationship between the upper and lower generations is messed up, how should the livelihood of such a big family be managed?
However, from the fact that the Ou family can continue to absorb foreign blood, it must be extremely enlightened.
But Ou Yaming's astonishing words made Liu Ruiying like thunder.
"Is it your enemy?"
The wine three halves asked.
Liu Ruiying smiled in her heart.
The lovely thing about the wine is that he can always pierce the last layer of window paper on people's hearts.
He had a lot of thoughts in his heart just now, but he couldn't compare to the direct question of three and a half wine.
"Yes, they have a grudge against me. ”
Ou Yaming nodded generously in acknowledgement.
Then he poured himself a glass of wine and drank it up.
"I don't dare to drink more, or I won't be able to beat them in a while. ”
Ou Yaming said, but he poured himself another glass.
"What kind of hatred?"
The wine three halves continued to ask reluctantly.
"Undying revenge. ”
Ou Yaming said, and at the same time drank the wine in the glass again, but did not pour it for himself.
"Drink three glasses of wine, and the rest of the glass, and if you still have your life after the fight, drink it again." ”
Ou Yaming held the flask and struggled for a while.
"If it's an undying feud, why are they still friends?"
Having said this, Liu Ruiying also let go of her body and mind, threw away her restraints, and asked.
Ou Xiao'e stared at the side, she really had never seen such a side of the head of the family.
In fact, she didn't meet the head of the house a few times at all.
The Ou family is very large, although it can't catch up with the Dingxi Domain, but within a clan, the authority of the patriarch is higher than that of Dingxi King Huo Wang in the Dingxi Domain, and she is not allowed to have the slightest presumptuous blasphemy.
"Because they can't kill me, I can't kill them. ”
Ou Yaming said.
"If you can't kill each other, can you keep killing each other?"
The wine three halves asked.
"This is natural, how can revenge and murder be done halfway? I have to see my blood splashed, and I can feel at ease when my head falls to the ground. If that's not enough, light another fire and burn me to ashes. ”
Ou Yaming said with a smile.
"Haha, if there is such a big hatred, I'm afraid it won't be enough to burn to ashes. ”
The wine three halves said.
"What do you think?"
Ou Yaming asked.
He picked up the flask and poured another glass of wine for the third half of the wine, and at the same time added a glass to Liu Ruiying.
"I'm not a big fan of girls drinking outside. It's not because of feudalism, it's because there are too many people in this world who want to take advantage, especially beautiful girls. ”
After Ou Yaming finished pouring the wine, he said to this Ou Xiao'e.
Ou Xiao'e was a little shy, knowing that this was the family's concern for her, but when she thought of her singing and drinking on weekdays, she always felt a little guilty in her heart.
"Although your cultivation is not low, and our Ou family's Bauhinia Sword is also sharp enough, but the man's means are far from being high in cultivation, and the sword is sharp enough to dodge. ”
Ou Yaming continued.
Liu Ruiying couldn't sit still, as if he was talking about him and the wine.
I don't know if I understand the wine or not, and he is still calm, but Liu Ruiying is a little uneasy. Although he didn't have any thoughts of taking advantage of Ou Xiao'e, he had to admit that Ou Xiao'e was a girl with an extremely pungent personality and an extremely beautiful appearance.
Such a contrast is combined, and I am afraid that few people will not be tempted.
"But you're two good friends, so there's no harm in drinking. If you want to, even a big drunk is up to you. ”
Ou Yaming changed his words and said, but it made Liu Ruiying feel a lot better.
The third half of the wine understood this sentence.
He understands all good words.
I saw him look at Ou Xiao'e complacently, as if to say, "I'm a good person!
"I see, I have to mix the ashes that have been burned into this wine and drink it, and then pull it out again, so that I can enjoy it!"
The wine three halves said.
"Yes, yes, I'll talk to them about it in a moment and see if it works. ”
Ou Yaming stroked his hands and laughed.
At this moment, the originally lively hall suddenly quieted down a little.
Liu Ruiying turned his head and saw three people standing proudly in the center of the hall, three pairs of eyes methodically searching the people in the hall.
Among these three, the left and right are both big fat people.
The bulging belly seemed to tear the clothes.
The three of them wore identical pale blue silk shirts.
There was no tie at the hem of the silk shirt, so it was dragged like that.
The middle man was tall and thin, holding a cigarette gun in his hand, and he kept smacking it.
But the smoke did not enter the lungs.
Just suck it in your mouth and spit it out.
He smokes not cigarettes, but habits.
It is the habit of holding a cigarette gun in one hand and spitting smoke in one's mouth.
There was a cloud of smoke in front of me, making the whole world a lot hazy.
Liu Ruiying often worries that his eyes are too good, and he can see the honest man who is bullying the stall on the street at a glance, but he can't act bravely because of his identity and responsibility.
If his eyes are not so good, then all the ugliness in the world will no longer be so clear, and truth, goodness and beauty will naturally increase.
Everyone's appearance will be cute and cute.
Because you can only see the silhouette of the body, but it eliminates the distinction between beauty and ugliness.
But this is not the case with tall and thin men.
His eyes were as sharp as two bolts of lightning, and as unfathomable as the dark night sky.
Even through the smoke, it is terrifying.
With every sip, there will always be some gaps.
In this moment of disgust, he saw Ou Yaming.
Ou Yaming also saw these three people, so he turned around and beckoned without hesitation, indicating where he was.
He knew that among the three, the most difficult to deal with was the tall and thin smoker in the middle.
When the tall and thin smoker saw Ou Yaming waving, he also smiled and waved in response.
Xiao Er in the tea party thought that these three people were in the next life.
But now that they had found a friend, they quietly retreated and stopped talking.
How did they know that these three people were not only going to have things to do in the next life, but also to have big things!
The tall, thin smoker brushed the cigarette stick aside, closed his mouth, and sighed deeply through his nose.
Then he leaned over the cigarette stick, took a sharp puff, and then pursed his mouth and flicked his tongue.
This cloud of misty smoke was like an off-string arrow, shooting towards Ou Yangming's eyebrows.
Liu Ruiying and the other three immediately dodged to the side.
Such a subtle martial art seemed to be beyond the scope of his knowledge.
This smoke arrow flew in the air and gathered but did not disperse, and there was a faint sound of buzzing through the sky.
But seeing that Ou Yangming didn't panic at all, he put the wine glass in his palm and buckled it.
When the smoke arrow approached, he took a copy of the wine glass in his hand, and at the same time drew a few circles in the air, and then caught all the smoke arrows in the wine glass.
Ou Yangming put the wine glass containing the smoke arrow on the table.
The smoke arrows were already in a ball in the glass.
As soon as he let go, the glass exploded with a "pop".
Broken pieces of porcelain shot out in all directions, but the smoke slowly dispersed.
Liu Ruiying hurriedly bent his knees slightly, and a piece of porcelain rubbed his scalp like this, nailed to the pillar not far behind him.
Although he had observed the hall thoroughly, he had also planned for possible accidents.
But at this time, the excellent wooden table could no longer be used as a shield.
Because he was some distance from the table, he couldn't reach it.
Moreover, the martial arts of this tall and thin smoker are not something that can be blocked by an excellent wooden table.
"I heard your sword is broken. ”
Under such a stall, Ou Yaming can still chat with the three halves of the wine.
"Yes, my sword is broken. ”
The third half of the wine said very lonely.
"I heard that you also damaged Mingming's blacksmith shop. ”
Ou Yaming said.
"That's not me, it's him!"
The third half of the wine pointed at Liu Ruiying and said.
"No, it's not broken, it's burned. ”
Ou Yaming corrected.
The wine is three and a half and has nothing to say.
He did go to Lu Mingming's blacksmith shop that night.
However, due to the previous battle between Liu Ruiying and Ice Pick, the flue of the blacksmith shop was damaged, and it became extremely unsmooth to bend.
Then he forcibly opened the furnace and lit a fire, which indeed blackened the blacksmith's shop.
Not to mention the blacksmith shop, even he himself is black from top to bottom.
Ou Yaming smiled and did not continue.
The scene in front of him made it impossible for him to continue chatting.
The tall and thin smoker saw that his smoke arrow was blocked, and immediately shot another one unhurriedly.
There were only four wine glasses on the table.
One has been broken just now, and there are three left.
However, these three wine glasses were relatively far away from Ou Yaming, and even if they were pulled close by force, it would be too late.
He only had a flask at hand that happened to be close at hand.
Ou Yaming lifted the flask and sprinkled it forward.
A wine arrow, sharper than a smoke arrow, shot out of the slender spout and collided with the smoke arrow in the air.
The smoke and arrows shattered and flew in all directions.
The wine arrows also shattered and fell to the ground.
"Still not out of the sword?"
The tall and thin smoker said.
His voice was quite loud.
As soon as he spoke, even the decorations hanging in the hall began to sway.
The windows in the hall were open, but there was not a hint of wind.
So this swaying is all due to his voice.
However, as the head of the Ou family, the contemporary 'sword' has passed two moves against the enemy, but he still hasn't made a sword, which is really weird.
"You didn't make a move, why should I use my sword?"
Ou Yaming said.
Liu Ruiying watched it from the sidelines and listened to it thrillingly.
Isn't that dangerous smoke arrow still a move?
"Besides, my swordsmanship is just a few things back and forth. Your cigarette arrow is a novelty. ”
Ou Yaming said.
"If you make a move, you can't really do it. Isn't your wine arrow fresh and tight?"
The tall and thin smoker said.
"I came up with it by your east wind. Pick up people's teeth and wisdom, and you can't get on the table. ”
Ou Yaming waved his hand, a little embarrassed.
"So you're not ready to draw your sword?"
The tall and thin smoker asked.
"Out! Of course I have to come out! If I don't go out of the sword, do I still deserve the surname Ou?"
Ou Yaming said.
"That is, today is not yet the time for you to draw your sword. ”
The tall and thin smoker said.
"Not bad. The smoke and arrows are fresh, but they don't make me sword. ”
Ou Yamin said it was extremely conceited.
He also has the capital to support such a conceit.
"Two smoke arrows, not enough, that ......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw the tall and thin smoker spitting out of his mouth.
A dense rain of arrows came at the face.
Liu Ruiying didn't even see when he smoked.
Each of the smoke arrows in this rain of arrows was much shorter than the previous one.
But being short is not being weak.
Short is more concise.
The speed of flight is also faster.
The first smoke arrow can be caught with a wine glass.
The second smoke arrow can be fended off with alcohol.
But there were only three glasses left.
The flask is also half empty.
In any case, it can't compare to the short and sharp smoke arrows that come from the sky.
It can be seen that the master smoker is determined to use this trick to force Ou Yaming to use his sword.
Ou Yaming looked at the rain of arrows, smiled slightly, and said:
"Since you insist on killing me with new gadgets, then I will shamelessly defend myself with things that pick up people's teeth. ”
After saying that, he poured all the wine from the jug into his mouth.
Like the tall and thin smoker, he pursed his lips, and with a flick of his tongue, a small wine pill shot out of his mouth.
There is less wine left in the jug than there is in the stem of a tall and thin smoker.
However, the smoke and arrow cost smoke, and the wine pill saves alcohol.
In the case of one and the other, it can barely be regarded as equal.
Each wine pill corresponds to a smoke arrow.
Hit from the arrow, the tail of the arrow falls.
The pierced smoke arrow was like a cramped snake, writhing in the air a few times, and then it couldn't hold on and dissipate.
"I'm out of alcohol. ”
Ou Yaming threw the flask and said.
"I still have a lot of cigarettes. ”
The tall and thin smoker raised the cigarette stick in his hand and said.
"After all, picking up people's teeth is picking people's teeth, and you have won this game. ”
Ou Yaming said.
"If you're still alive, my three brothers won't win. ”
Said the master smoker.
The third half of the wine was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that the wine he had never left for a moment would have such a use.
Unconsciously, he also became a member of the wisdom of picking people's teeth.
It's just that he eats double leftovers.
It was Ou Yaming who first ate the leftovers of the master smoker, and then he ate Ou Yaming's.
Liu Ruiying really didn't know what these hatreds were for
Just like although he promised Yuan Jie to return his life to her, he couldn't figure out whether his death would resurrect dozens of people up and down the Yuan family?
If not, then it is too worthless to die.
It wasn't that he wanted to escape the sins he had committed, but that he felt that this way of atonement was inappropriate.
In addition to such a deep hatred in the sea of blood, neighbors who have been in harmony for decades have become silent with a little profit.
Thinking of coming to Huo Wang, why isn't Liu Jinghao like this?
The wolf rode on the side, the world was unstable, and when needed, it was praised as an altar.
The mountains and rivers are settled, all industries are prosperous, and when they are not needed, they are scolded by thousands of people.
One moment he became a god, and the next he became black and charcoal.
Either I kneel for you, or you kneel for me.
Most of the people in the hall had already dispersed because of the fight between Ou Yaming and the three brothers.
Only the little vendor who had just sold a cute object was still standing in his original position, staring blankly.
Liu Ruiying waved his hand violently at him, signaling him to quickly step aside to avoid accidental injury.
This is the most prosperous place in Bogulou, and it is presumable that Bogulou will soon receive the news and intervene.
But the upper class people are just to preserve the dignity of the upper class, where can they care about the life and death of these low-level small traders.
If you die, it's a big deal to pay some silver taels and spend money to buy your life.
If he doesn't have a family and is so helpless, then he can't even save money.
Tomorrow's Bogu Building will still be Bogu Building, and this long street will still be so prosperous.
As long as the blood on the ground is wiped clean, who will remember the death of a small trader who lived a difficult life here yesterday?
The human heart is so thin and cold, and human nature is extremely selfish.
As long as I drink tea happily, I drink to the fullest.
Even if the sky falls apart outside, it has nothing to do with me.
The building collapsed, and it was a big deal to die together.
But no one will live a second longer, take advantage of a little more.
However, when Liu Ruiying saw the little trader put his hand into the basket, he knew that he was wrong.
He underestimated the hearts of good and evil people in this world.
Overestimating their eyesight level.
