Chapter Twenty-Three: A Chance Encounter
At first, Mai Wenxiang didn't know that she was calling herself, but just chatting with Wu Hou, and the two looked very intimate, which made the young man a little unhappy. So the young man got up and walked over.
He patted Wu Hou's shoulder and said domineeringly, "Get up, I'm going to drink with my sister." ”
Wu Hou was a little inexplicable, looked at Mai Wenxiang strangely, and asked her, "Do you know each other?"
Mai Wenxiang was a little afraid, shook her head and said she didn't know, and her body shrank back.
The young man was displeased, grabbed Wu Hou's shoulder, and said, "Get out, tonight labor and management are going to break a chick, you can start for me." When he spoke, he stared at Mai Wenxiang with squinting eyes.
Wu Hou frowned and said, "You pay attention to what you say." ”
The barbecue boss continued to be busy with his work as if he hadn't seen the youth, apparently accustomed to this kind of thing.
Wu Hou was still sitting there, which made the young man's friend laugh not far behind him, and the young man felt that his face could not be hung up, and he began to be unrelenting, and his mouth was foul language.
Wu Hou, who was angry, shook his shoulders and shook off the young man's hand, and said angrily: "Get out!"
The young man scolded: "Oh, fuck you..."
Before he finished speaking, he was slapped in the face by Wu Hou, and two teeth fell out on the spot.
Wu Hou regretted a little, thinking that he had overused himself and hurt people.
The young man's friends saw that the young man was beaten, and they came over with beer bottles, and without saying a word, they punched and kicked Wu Hou, and the beer bottles were smashed on the head.
Mai Wenxiang was so frightened that she panicked and shouted anxiously to be careful. Wu Hou dodged, furious in his heart, and was about to shoot a few people down.
At this time, a woman's voice came,
"Stop!"
Several young men stopped and looked at a woman.
"Get out!"
A few people left in disgrace, and they didn't dare to let go of their farts.
When Wu Hou saw the woman who spoke, it turned out to be Yuan Chengcheng.
After a few years, although Yuan Chengcheng is thirty years old, he still looks so young, especially his slender figure, which is even more charming than a few years ago.
Wu Hou was a little embarrassed to see her, this first woman to kiss him made him feel at a loss.
Yuan Chengcheng came to Wu Hou's table, smiled and said, "Long time no see, are you in love?"
Mai Wenxiang's face turned red and she hid behind Wu Hou, not daring to show her head.
"Haha, Wu Hou, what about dating?"
Li Chunxi came from a distance and laughed.
Wu Hou didn't expect Li Chunxi to be here, and said, "Brother Chunxi, are you also eating here?"
"I just arrived, I was invited, and I was also on a date. Li Chunxi, who spoke, looked at Yuan Chengcheng.
Wu Hou explained: "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't date, this is my classmate." ”
But at this time, Mai Wenxiang's hand was holding Wu Hou's hand, so Wu Hou's explanation was not true in Li Chunxi's opinion.
Li Chunxi walked up to Yuan Chengcheng, took Yuan Chengcheng's hand, looked at Wu Hou and said, "What is there to be embarrassed to admit about dating, we are dating." ”
Wu Hou said strangely: "You..."
Yuan Chengcheng's face turned red, and he snorted and said, "Can't you see it? He's my boyfriend." ”
Li Chunxi laughed triumphantly.
Wu Hou also laughed.
Unexpectedly, this Yuan Chengcheng and Li Chunxi, since the competition a few years ago, have had a relationship, and then gradually became familiar with each other, and they actually dating.
"Since you're here, let's sit together. Wu Hou invited Li Chunxi and the two to sit with him.
Li Chunxi and Yuan Chengcheng sat down, and the four of them formed a wine table, eating and drinking, listening to the singer's desperate singing, feeling the vitality of the young men and women at the scene, and they were in a very good mood, and they did not have any displeasure at all because of the affairs of a few young people in the society just now.
Wu Hou suddenly asked Yuan Chengcheng curiously: "By the way, why did those people just now leave when they saw you? They seem to be very afraid of you." ”
Yuan Chengcheng glanced at Wu Hou, smiled and didn't speak, Li Chunxi replied to Wu Hou and said: "You sister-in-law, it's amazing, the eldest sister of the motorcycle club in the city is big, like those little ruffians just now, your sister-in-law can call two people at will, and they can clean it up, and they can't get along here." ”
Wu Hou sighed, thinking that he couldn't see it, this Yuan Chengcheng still had a bit of a mixed meaning.
Yuan Chengcheng corrected Li Chunxi and said: "What sister-in-law, we are not married. ”
Li Chunxi said with a smile: "It's almost time, let's take time to meet each other's parents, and the eldest is not small, let's get married." Wu Hou, you must come to drink the wedding wine when the time comes. ”
Wu Hou laughed and didn't agree, after all, he was going to school far away, and it was too troublesome to come back, so he just said, "Well, I'll try my best." ”
"What do you mean by trying to do your best, you kid, my brother finally got a wife, and you haven't come back to cheer up. ”
Yuan Chengcheng was a little embarrassed, glared at Li Chunxi, and Li Chunxi closed his mouth.
After chatting for a while, Li Chunxi suddenly remembered something, so he stretched out his head and said to Wu Hou: "Wu Hou, let me introduce you to someone." ”
Wu Hou asked, "Who is it?"
Li Chunxi smiled embarrassedly and said, "The eldest brother I met when I was in college, I joined his Yizhenglian, that is, my boss." ”
Unexpectedly, Li Chunxi also joined this kind of non-governmental organization, Wu Hou smiled and said: "Haha, Brother Chunxi is also a person with a background." ”
"You can pull it down, what kind of background, it's just some friends who can talk about it, in order to prevent people from being bullied when they go to school in other places, they get together and make a small team. When you go to college, I introduce you to him, and when you go out alone, multiple friends always take care of him. ”
Wu Hou nodded and said, "Okay, then thank you, Brother Chunxi." ”
Yuan Chengcheng advised: "When the time comes, you must take care of this little beauty." As he spoke, he snorted his lips at Mai Wenxiang.
Mai Wenxiang was a little embarrassed and lowered her head.
After the meal, the four separated, Yuan Chengcheng rode her big motorcycle and took Li Chunxi away, Wu Hou took a taxi with Mai Wenxiang and got off at the gate of the community.
On the way after entering the community, Mai Wenxiang laughed and said, "Wu Hou, do you think they all think we are a couple?"
Wu Hou said helplessly: "Maybe." ”
"That's not to blame them, after all, there are so many classmates in our class who are in early love, and at our age, it is indeed easy for a man and a woman to go out alone, which is indeed easy to misunderstand. ”
"Then why don't you fall in love, so many boys chase you, I remember that person in the third year of junior high school, in order to chase you, he was admitted to the same high school as us. ”
Mai Wenxiang remembered who Wu Hou was talking about, and pouted: "Forget it, I don't want you if you're not handsome." ”
Wu Hou was puzzled and asked, "Then what do you want?"
"At least it can't be worse than you. ”
"Where am I doing. ”
Mai Wenxiang looked at Wu Hou with a smile and said, "You can make money, do you think you have been fighting in the ring with my father in the past few years, I don't know?"
Wu Hou was surprised: "You know?"
"My dad was drunk and told my mom about it, and I heard it. Mai Wenxiang was a little proud.
Wu Hou was helpless, he wanted to know, it was not something unseemly, and besides, he and Mai Wenxiang had always been good friends, and Mai Wenxiang would definitely keep this secret for himself.
After arriving downstairs at Mai Wenxiang's house, Wu Hou watched Mai Wenxiang enter the door, Mai Wenxiang turned around and said, "You pay attention to safety on the way to grandma's house tomorrow." ”
Wu Hou nodded: "Don't worry." ”
So Mai Wenxiang closed the door and went upstairs, and Wu Hou walked to his house alone. On the way, he was a little distracted, thinking that if he went out with Mai Wenxiang now, it would be easy to be misunderstood, even if others didn't misunderstand, Mai Weili would also misunderstand. And Mai Wenxiang seems to be a little dependent on herself, and when she is with herself, she holds her hand as if she is very casual, and she is not embarrassed at all.
Thinking of this, Wu Hou was a little surprised, and said in his heart that Mai Wenxiang wouldn't like herself, right? Although Mai Wenxiang was very beautiful, and Wu Hou also liked to stay with her, but when it came to the love between men and women, Wu Hou felt that he had no such thoughts about her. With a somewhat depressed knot, Wu Hou returned home.
As soon as she got home, Guo Sunhua saw that Wu Hou was alone, so she asked, "Why are you alone, why don't you let Xiangxiang come up to sit down." ”
Wu Hou replied: "What are you sitting on, it's so late." ”
"You can't say that. Guo Sunflower said again: "When you come to us, isn't it just like your own family? By the way, son, you are not young, I think Xiangxiang is a good girl, you tell your mother honestly, are you in love? Don't be afraid, your mother won't scold you, it's too late to be happy for you......
When Wu Hou heard this, his head was big for a while, and his mouth shouted: "Okay, okay, okay, don't say it, I'm going to sleep." After speaking, he went back to the room, leaving Guo Sunflower standing alone in the living room.
Guo Sunflower said to herself: "Ah, look at this kid, why are you still in a hurry." Hehe, yes, yes, the two of them are studying in the same university, and the relationship is definitely getting better and better. With a happy mood, Guo Sunflower also went back to the room.
After getting up the next day, Wu Hou simply packed his luggage, prepared to go out to the station, and then took the car to his grandmother's house. Guo Sunflower bought a lot of clothes and asked Wu Hou to bring them to his grandparents, so in addition to his own backpack, Wu Hou carried another bag.
After getting on the train at the station, the car drove to the familiar route and headed for the mountains. It's summer again, and it's as hot and dry as in previous years, but now that there is air conditioning in the car, Wu Hou doesn't feel uncomfortable, otherwise his body is always sticky and uncomfortable.
Wu Hou thought that Jiang Lei had said at that time that when he left the city, he would come to him to join the Yuding Group. He estimated in his heart that after going to college this time, Jiang Lei would find him. Wu Hou is actually not very happy to join Yu Ding Group, in the past few years of contact with Mai Weili, the relationship between the two is also good, from Mai Weili's mouth, Wu Hou also learned what Yu Ding does.
There are many people in the rivers and lakes in Yuding Group, who hide in the shadows all the year round and do some shady things for Yuding. The larger the group, the more complicated the relationship, listening to Mai Weili said, Yu Ding's main business is to gather people in the rivers and lakes, so that those who practice martial arts with unique skills can serve themselves, if there is no willingness to submit to themselves, Yu Ding will try his best to make trouble for the other party, and even let the other party be in a different place is not impossible.
Mai Weili said that he is just a boxer on the bright side in Yuding, which is not what Yuding values most, Yuding's center of gravity is in the dark, and their high-level seems to be directly under the orders of a certain domestic big man with hands and eyes, intending to suppress the forces of the rivers and lakes.
That person has monstrous authority and a lot of right to speak, but it is inconvenient to come forward directly, so he single-handedly founded Yuding Group and let his subordinates do things for themselves.
The complicated reasons are not too clear to Mai Weili, so Wu Hou only knows so much, and he doesn't know anything else. I heard Mai Weili say that there are thirteen people in Yuding, known as the thirteen people in Yuding, who are masters in martial arts, mainly dealing with some things in the rivers and lakes for Yuding, but these thirteen people, Mai Weili who is outside the rivers and lakes, but none of them know who they are.
The car bumped all the way, and finally arrived in the mountains, after Wu Hou got off the car, he carried a bag on his back, and did not go directly back to his grandmother's house, but went to Pinghuang Mountain.
He brought some clothes for Duanmu Shenjiu, and after Wu Hou had some money, every year when he came to the mountains, he would bring some clothes for his master, including underwear. It's hard for Wu Hou to imagine that the master didn't wear underwear, this was still found when he was soaking in the hot springs at that time, and Wu Hou, who had a heart, wrote it down at that time, and then when he came again, he brought a dozen underwear to Duanmu Shenjiu.
Far away before he reached Pinghuang Mountain, Wu Hou heard the roar of the white tiger, Wu Hou grinned when he heard it, he could hear that this was the white tiger calling for himself, and it knew that it was coming.
There was no one around, so Wu Hou arched his body, his legs were ready to go, and after looking at a tree trunk, he shot out and jumped onto the trunk. Then he jumped forward from the trunk of the tree, and again and again, and landed directly in front of the white tiger halfway up the Pinghuang Mountain.
After the white tiger saw Wu Hou, he smiled, he pounced on Wu Hou, Wu Hou dropped two bags, grabbed the front legs of the white tiger with both hands, and actually lifted the white tiger high. The white tiger stretched out his big tongue and licked Wu Hou's face, Wu Hou scolded with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't lick it, it smells." ”
He put down the white tiger and asked, "Where is the master?"
The white tiger looked towards the top of the mountain and told Wu Hou that he was there.
Wu Hou and Bai Hu went up to the top of the mountain together and met Duanmu Shenjiu in a thatched hut, who was playing a game of chess, made of stones himself.
This thatched hut was built by Duanmu Shenjiu himself, and he lived here all the year round, and there was no place to shelter from the wind and rain, so he built this thatched hut in the first year of waking up, when winter came, and rested here with the white tiger at night.
Duanmu Shenjiu had already taken off his gorgeous clothes and changed into the modern clothes that Wu Hou had bought for him. However, he is picky, except for white, he doesn't want any other colors, so most of the things that Wu Hou brought him in his bag were also white.
Wu Hou stood at the door and called out respectfully: "Master." ”
Duanmu Shen hummed without raising his head, pointed to the other side of the table, and motioned for Wu Hou to sit down.
Wu Hou put down his bag and sat opposite Duanmu Shenjiu, and Duanmu Shenjiu said, "Do you know how to play chess?"
"Chess will be, Go will not. Wu Hou replied honestly.
Duanmu Shenjiu said: "I'm not good at Go, I had a friend who learned swords in my early years, and she was very good at playing Go, she taught me, but I was stupid and couldn't learn it." ”
"Master is still stupid?" Wu Hou couldn't help laughing.
Duanmu Shenjiu Zhengse said: "After a man in the world meets his beloved woman, he will become dull. ”
Wu Hou said strangely: "The friend that the master said is a woman?"
Duanmu Shenjiu nodded and said, "Yes, it's the woman on the beauty picture, I asked you to help find it for the teacher, and after a few years, you haven't found it." ”
Wu Houyan scratched his head embarrassedly, wanting to explain that it was only in one city, how to find it, and he had never seen it, but in the end he didn't open his mouth to explain. He knew that the master cared about the painting very much, and he was afraid that he would make the master unhappy after saying it.
So he said: "Now that the Internet is gradually developed, when I go back, I will post a post on the Internet and ask, but master, can you draw another picture of the person on the painting." ”
Duanmu Shenjiu shook his head and said: "The strength of the painter is not comparable to that of the teacher. ”
"It's okay to draw a similar look, so that after others see it, they can recognize whether they have seen it or not. ”
Duanmu Shenjiu nodded again, stretched out his hand to rearrange the chess, and said lightly: "Play chess." ”
