Chapter Seventy-One: Mai Wenxiang's Birthday (I)

A person was stunned on the roof of the building for a while, and the sky with fish belly white in the east gradually became dense. The wind in the early morning was a little cool, which made Duanmu Shenjiu, who didn't care about the temperature, couldn't help but shrink his neck.

Looking at the Hua Zhao Sword in his hand, he suddenly missed Wu Hou very much.

I have to say that after so many years of getting along, for Duanmu Shenjiu, who has no heirs, although Wu Houming is his apprentice on the surface, in his heart, he has long regarded Wu Hou as his own child.

After meeting Wu Hou, Duanmu Shenjiu knew that a child could be so sensible and careful. Although Wu Hou is outgoing, lively and active, and sometimes more like a ruffian, the kindness hidden deep in his heart cannot be hidden, which is one of Duanmu Shenjiu's favorite places.

Raising his hand and throwing the Hua Zhao sword into the air, Duanmu Shenjiu smiled and said, "You go back first, it's almost the festival, I'll go take a shower and change into clean clothes, and I'll go see him." ”

The Hua Zhao Sword, which was thrown into the air and stayed there, let out a sword roar like a spirit, then turned the head of the sword and flew to the place where it came.

After that, Duanmu Shenjiu got up and jumped down from the tall building and returned to his residence. When he returned to his lodgings, he took off his tattered clothes, took a shower, took care of his hair, changed into clean clothes, and went out.

The sun had already shown half of his head, and the streets were sprinkled with a layer of early morning sunshine, Duanmu Shenjiu, who was wearing a white T-shirt, strolled on the road, and walked towards the place where Wu Hou was without hurry.

There are more and more pedestrians on the road, and although it is a holiday holiday, there are still many passers-by on the street. When he walked to an intersection, Duanmu Shenjiu looked at the crowd of people waiting for the red light around him, sighed in his heart, and couldn't help muttering, "All living beings..."

Unexpectedly, one day, I will also enter this world, and like them, I will also work hard for a few taels of silver.

When the first ray of sunlight shone into the room, Hua Zhao's sword flew back, and he fell into the sword box and returned to the sheath without the slightest abnormality. Wu Hou sat at the head of the bed, quietly watching all this, without making a sound.

Since waking up last night, hearing the sound of Duanmu Shenjiu, coupled with Hua Zhaojian breaking out of the window himself, Wu Hou knew that the master was at war with someone at that time. So, since then, he has not slept, staring dryly and waiting for the dawn.

I thought in my heart that the master should also take a holiday, and he might come back today, and when he saw Hua Zhaojian return at this moment, he was relieved and knew that the master was not surprised. In fact, he also knew in his heart that even if the master had an accident, with his current self, he would not be able to help him. I was always too weak and not strong enough.

After sitting on the bed for a while, Wu Hou, who really couldn't sleep, got up, he simply washed up and went to the kitchen to cook. Wash the rice, take out the vegetables from the refrigerator and select them, put a few large red dates in the rice porridge cooked in the pot, and slowly simmer over low heat.

After a while, the meal was ready, Wu Hou put the rice up, brought the dishes to the table, and went to get up and ask Mai Wenxiang to get up and eat. Mai Wenxiang, who finally stayed up until the holiday, seized the opportunity to sleep lazily, how could she get up so early, so she shouted under the quilt and didn't eat, and continued to fall asleep.

Wu Hou had no choice but to go to the table by himself and prepare to eat, when there was a knock at the door.

Through the cat's eye, Wu Hou saw a clean Duanmu Shenjiu standing at the door, still carrying a bag of fruit in his hand. Wu Hou hurriedly opened the door and shouted, "Master!"

Duanmu Shenjiu smiled, walked into the house with a hum, and put the fruit on the coffee table.

"You haven't eaten, have you? I'll serve you dinner. Wu Hou walked into the kitchen again and served Duanmu Shenjiu a bowl of porridge.

Coming to the table and looking at the food on the table, Duanmu Shenjiu had a momentary sway.

Fragrant tea in the evening and white porridge in the morning were the most healing things for his generation.

The master and apprentice sat down to eat, and the rice porridge was fried with green vegetables, a light and light food, but it was also delicious. Wu Hou ate and asked about last night.

"Master, did you get into a fight with someone last night?" Wu Hou asked, holding the bowl and looking at Duanmu Shenjiu.

Duanmu Shenjiu took a bite of the dish and put it in the bowl, nodded, and didn't speak.

"You didn't suffer, did you?"

"I was stabbed four times in the lower abdomen, but it's okay, it's fine. ”

The lower abdomen was pierced, and this is good? Wu Hou didn't believe it, and his heart was very anxious, "Is it really fake? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Duanmu Shenjiu pursed his lips and laughed, and said, "Silly apprentice, for me, the best doctor in this world is myself. ”

Wu Hou hesitated and asked in a low voice, "Is it really okay?"

"Really. ”

With a long breath, Wu Hou said reassuringly: "That's good, that's good, when Hua Zhao's sword flew out last night, I guessed that you were fighting with someone." But why did Hua Zhaojian listen to you? Also, you were pierced through the lower abdomen, how could you get so fast? And that time in the mountains, when you rescued Wang Youfu, who was smashed in the chest by the white tiger, he was about to die, why did you bring him back to life?"

Duanmu Shenjiu, who was drinking porridge, stopped his movements, froze for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Although Hua Zhaojian recognizes you as the master, you are my apprentice, and the true qi in your body is similar to mine, so I can also summon your sword." As for why my injuries healed so quickly, and how I saved Wang Youfu, these are far beyond normal martial arts, and they are not something you can understand for the time being. ”

After finishing speaking, Duanmu Shenjiu added, "Cultivate well, when the time comes, I will pass it on to you." ”

"Oh. "I have been dull all my life, and my mood has not changed in the slightest. The master said that when the time came, he would pass it on to himself, but the master didn't know that Wu Hou was not interested in that ethereal thing now.

Wu Hou, who was silent for a while, said, "Tomorrow Xiangxiang's birthday, let's go to dinner together." ”

Duanmu Shenjiu, who had already finished drinking the porridge, frowned and said, "Didn't you say it on the phone last time, I won't go." ”

Wu Hou smiled, "Anyway, it's okay for you to be at home, let's go together, there aren't many people, just a few classmates and counselors in the school." ”

Duanmu Shenjiu, who got up and sent the bowl to the kitchen, came out again and said, "No, the teacher is going to Mu Haisen's house tomorrow, and the reunion festival will be held, and many juniors in the clan will gather at his house, and I will go to meet the juniors in the clan." ”

Wu Hou sighed helplessly, nodded and said, "Okay then." ”

Mai Wenxiang was still sleeping, Wu Hou brushed the pot and washed the dishes to clean the hygiene, it was already half of the morning. Duanmu Shenjiu asked Wu Hou to practice the swordsmanship and sword skills taught to him in the living room, and found many things wrong, and gave Wu Hou another guidance, asking him to correct them, and reminded him to insist on practicing every day in order to become more and more pure and faster.

Although Wu Hou wanted to practice swordsmanship, at the insistence of Duanmu Shenjiu, he did not fall behind in swordsmanship. Wu Hou really wanted to learn Edgeworth, because he thought it was very handsome, but Duanmu Shenjiu said that Edgeworth needed extremely strong mental power and a large amount of mellow true qi, and Wu Hou at this age couldn't do it yet, so he had to wait a few years for the true qi in his body to be deeper.

Although Wu Hou was very distressed, he couldn't help it. Wu Hou, who was tired and a little panting, sat on the sofa panting, looking at Duanmu Shenjiu, who was also sitting on the single sofa opposite.

"I went out for a trip, went to book a restaurant, and said that I would invite Xiangxiang to a big meal. Wu Hou said.

I ate the meal invited by Gu Qinghui before, it was very luxurious, Wu Hou said at the time that when Mai Wenxiang was born, he would invite her to the same meal.

Duanmu Shenjiu nodded and replied: "You go, I'll sit for a while, and Mu Haisen will pick me up later." ”

"Good. Wu Hou stood up and went out.

Looking at Wu Hou who was going out, Duanmu Shenjiu shook his head and smiled, then looked at Mai Wenxiang's room, and said to himself: "The person in front of you is not your sweetheart, the moon in the sky is the moon of everyone." ”

Wu Hou, who went out, stood at the door of the community and hesitated, because after he walked out, he remembered that he didn't know which restaurant to go to. The small restaurant where he usually drinks with Feng Mo and Li Zhiguang must not have abalone and lobster.

I lit a cigarette and sat on the side of the road and thought about it for a while, but I didn't think about which restaurant to go out. This child who came out to school in a poor rural area, where has he come into contact with the consumption places that the upper class often goes in and out of the big city, he really asked him to look for it, and he really didn't know where to look for it at this time.

After being distressed for a while, Wu Hou laughed self-deprecatingly, and suddenly felt that he was very much like a turtle.

In desperation, he dialed Wang Youzhi's phone, and after the phone beeped a few times, someone answered.

"Hey, who. A yawning voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's me, Wu Hou, what's the matter? Did you delete my phone or what? I don't know who I am. ”

"Oops!" Wang Youzhi on the other side of the phone exclaimed, "It's Boss Wu, I was sleeping just now, and I didn't see the caller ID clearly..."

Wu Hou laughed, "Come less, I think you are about to forget me." ”

Wang Youzhi said repeatedly: "How can there be, I didn't get off work until three o'clock last night, I slept late, and I slept well when you called, I really didn't see it clearly..."

"Okay, without further ado, I'll ask you something. ”

Wang Youzhi on the other side of the phone seemed to sit up from the bed and said, "Okay, you say, you say." ”

Wu Hou then asked: "Do you know where the restaurant is better? Tomorrow Xiangxiang has her birthday, I want to invite her to dinner." ”

The sound of a lighter rang on the phone, and it seemed that Wang Youzhi had lit a cigarette.

"Hotel, do you want it to be good?" asked Wang Youzhi.

"Well, okay, the kind of abalone and lobster roasted suckling pig have. ”

Wang Youzhi said with a smile: "Yes, where did the boss make a windfall? ”

"Whatever, say it. ”

"Well, then I'll send you an address, you can go to this place, it's better than the place I invited you to eat last time. Wang Youzhi said on the phone: "It's a bit expensive, and I've only been there once." ”

"Okay, then you can send it to me. ”

"Okay. Wang Youzhi agreed, and said: "After dinner tomorrow night, come to my bar to have fun, and celebrate your birthday, I will leave a place for you to sit down." ”

Wu Hou said casually: "Let's see again." He hung up.

After a while, a text message was received on the mobile phone, which was the address of a hotel sent by Wang Youzhi, Wu Hou pressed this address, took a taxi, and set off.

Mai Wenxiang, who has been celebrating her birthday with her parents in previous years, celebrated her birthday for the first time in a foreign country this year, and she is the only one she is familiar with, and her parents are not around, so she can't be unhappy no matter what, and she also promised Mai Weili to take good care of Mai Wenxiang.

I heard that it's very lively inside, and I haven't been there anyway, so why don't we go there tomorrow night after dinner? Wu Hou sat in the car, thinking so in his heart.
