Chapter 171: Time is like a knife

"Childe-"

As soon as Aochen raised his chopsticks and was about to eat noodles, there was a shout in his ears, and the sound should be Yan Haikuo, so he put down the chopsticks, raised his hand and beckoned, thinking that it should be for the Wanxing Gambling House, this Baiyun City is his land after all, and it would be strange if he didn't know.

"Brother Yan, sit down!"

Bihan obediently did it beside Liuli, Xiang Sansi also sat aside, giving up three seats, Yan Haikuo naturally didn't dare to sit next to Aochen, and sat down with Ah Ye and Datou.

"Childe, I just heard that the people in Wanxing Casino have made you unhappy, they seem to be still pulling my name, I came to talk to Childe, they are not our people, my Qingyun Gang has never done those cheating and tricks, shame!"

Yan Haikuo bent over, his buttocks were only half apart, he didn't dare to sit down, and explained to Aochen in a low voice, for fear that Aochen would misunderstand something, and he was resentful in his heart, how could everything have anything to do with him in the past two days.

"Well, I know, Brother Yan has always been righteous, and he won't do this kind of thing if he wants to, so let's eat noodles, the noodles here are good. ”

"Hey, thank you, Childe!"

"By the way, this old man is very kind, help me take care of it, don't let people bully me!"

"Okay, good, definitely, definitely don't let people make trouble here. ”

Although Yan Haikuo didn't know why a person like Aochen, who was born to stand above the Nine Heavens, would care about such an inconspicuous noodle stall, he couldn't help but agree, and habitually glanced at Aye, Gongzi must eat noodles when he asks him to eat.

"Give broken silver, don't give more, the old man doesn't take rewards. ”

Ah Ye listened to Aochen's instructions, nodded respectfully, and seemed to understand a little that Aochen would tell his eldest brother to take care of this inconspicuous noodle stall.

After a while, everyone ate the noodles, especially Aochen, who ate very seriously, and there was no soup left, Liuli leaned on Bihan's body, touching her round belly, which looked like an indescribable satisfaction, a bowl of noodles could be eaten so happily, and the same sigh rose in everyone's hearts.

A slight smile appeared at the corner of Aochen's mouth, helping Liuli straighten out her scattered hair, and deliberately teasing Liuli: "Do you still want to eat roast duck?"

"I can't eat it!"

Liuli wrinkled her nose and said a little sadly, why is her belly so small?

"Where's the tea?"

"If you don't drink it, it's not interesting to drink tea. ”

"Childe, Miss, we know the shopkeeper of Sunrise Restaurant very well, I asked them to roast a few roast ducks in the afternoon and send them to the inn for dinner. ”

Hearing the word roast duck, as the head snake of Baiyun City, how could he not know what was going on, and hurriedly agreed, he was worried that he would not have a chance to make friends, so he sent it to the door.

"Well, that's good, we don't have to wait in line, so we don't have to go somewhere else. ”

Liuli was happy now, looking at Yan Haikuo and the three of them, they also felt that it was very pleasing to the eye, this noodle was so delicious, I hope that the roast duck at night will not disappoint me, thinking about it, Liuli's eyes seemed to have become a pair of stars, and they couldn't stop flashing with light.

"Then there is Brother Lao Yan!"

"Grandpa, let's go!"

Aochen and the others got up and left the noodle stall, Liuli didn't forget to turn around and say hello to Lao Liutou, and Bihan signaled with a light smile that he was leaving.

"Girl, little brother, like to eat noodles and come often. ”

The old willow also responded happily, and continued to bow his head as usual and get busy.

............

Aochen couldn't believe that the person in front of him was the legendary heroic and domineering, chivalrous and courageous horizontal knife Xiang Mo, wearing a robe and a round body, and his fleshy face squeezed only a slit of the pair of Danfeng eyes, without a trace of the sharpness of being a swordsman, no matter how you look at it, he is a rich man.

"Brother Xiang, why did you become like this?"

Cui Ming also found it difficult to overlap the person in front of him and the appearance of Xiang Mo of the horizontal knife back then, and it took a long time to find a trace of the shadow of the year from his facial features, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Cui Ming, you are still as dashing as back then, how did you find me?"

Xiang Mo listened to Cui Ming's words, put down the teacup in his hand, and responded with a lot of emotion, Xiang Mo had long since disappeared in the vast river of time, and even he couldn't find himself.

"We came to Baiyun City to do some errands, and on the way, we happened to meet Sansi with a horizontal knife, so we found you. ”

Cui Ming also put down the teacup, although the aroma of this tea was attractive, but he didn't have the heart to drink tea at all, and recounted the encounter with Xiang Sansi.

"I'm glad he met you, otherwise...... In fact, I've always wanted to completely destroy the horizontal knife, but I've always been reluctant. ”

Xiang Mo glanced at Xiang Sansi, who was standing on the side at a loss, with a hint of happiness in his tone, no scolding, no anger, not even the anger of a father scolding his son who made mistakes, until he talked about the horizontal knife, his eyes showed a trace of reluctance, after all, he was a divine soldier who had depended on him for half his life, and it had long become a part of his life.

"Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, why should Brother Xiang be like this?"

Cui Ming closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to see Xiang Mo's appearance at this time, mourning was greater than his heart dying, Xiang Mo had lost too many things in that battle back then.

"In fact, I have already let go of the things back then, everything is my wishful thinking, maybe that woman just wants to take the opportunity to ask for some compensation, and it is I who make the matter very troublesome. ”

Xiang Mo smiled bitterly, for so many years, he thought a lot, saying that it was not a lie to let go, it was he who had driven himself to a dead end, who was to blame?

Under the conversation between the two, the atmosphere in the living room was a little depressing, everyone listened quietly, and the Mo brothers seemed to be unable to accept that the former overlord of the knife had become what they were like in front of them, so they got up and left the living room in unison, with their backs to the living room, and stood under the big tree in the courtyard.

"Brother Xiang, will you drink tea?"

Cui Ming didn't know how to persuade Xiang Mo, so he changed the topic, his heart disease was difficult to cure, and the oath he made back then could not be changed, even if he succeeded in arousing his ambition, what could he do? With Xiang Mo's temperament, he would rather die than break his oath.

"yes, I'm quitting! By the way, who are these young people?"

A faint sentence, just a few words, contains a complicated taste, and the ups and downs in it are not clear.

"This is Jun Aochen, her name is Lu Bihan, and this is my young lady. ”

Cui Ming briefly introduced, the Mo brothers don't need to be introduced, twin brothers, and they are both masters of using knives, looking at the only pair in China, after saying it, he secretly said to himself, Hengdao Xiang silently quit drinking?

"Junior, Jun Aochen, visited Senior Xiang. ”

"The junior Wu Liuli has seen the senior. ”

"Lu Bihan has seen Senior Xiang. ”

No matter what, the three of Aochen still kept the etiquette, and respectfully greeted Xiang Mo.

"Sit down, I've quit the rivers and lakes, you don't have to. ”

Xiang Mo seemed a little unaccustomed, raised his hand, and motioned for the three of them to sit down, and the tone of his voice couldn't tell whether it was sour or remembrance.

"Senior Xiang, the predecessor was just bitten by a dog back then, and he couldn't be slaughtered, so we just avoided it, and we couldn't be as knowledgeable as a dog, we were human beings, we couldn't lie down and bite the dog, right?"

After all, Aochen couldn't help but open his mouth to persuade him, he really couldn't bear to let the heroic and heroic horizontal knife Xiang Mo become what he is now.

“...... Back then, I was too impulsive to do things, and you have to take me as a warning. ”

Xiang Mo didn't expect the young man in front of him to say such a simple, clear but meaningful word, but it was no longer a question of whether he wanted to bite the dog, but he had already vowed to quit the rivers and lakes, and he was not even qualified to be a person in the rivers and lakes.

"My grandfather, Huangfu, also vowed to be extinct, but he never gave up on shame, let alone himself, his predecessors did this to punish themselves for other people's mistakes, and it was not worth it. ”

Aochen's words are dignified, and he doesn't mind that Xiang Mo knows where he comes from, there are more positive people in this world, and we will be happier when we live, won't we?

"You are the grandson of Mr. Huangfu, I have not had the opportunity to see Mr. Huangfu's demeanor, it has always been my regret, how can I compare with Mr. Huangfu?"

Xiang Mo never thought that the handsome and extraordinary young man in front of him would be the grandson of the emperor who responded to his requests, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Aochen is right, who stipulates that you can't continue to practice martial arts if you retire from the rivers and lakes? Although I have only met Sansi for a few days, I can see that he wants to practice swords, Brother Xiang, you must not let your martial arts be extinct!"

Cui Ming also helped on the side, persuading, hoping to cheer up Xiang Mo, at least to pass down the horizontal knife!

"There will be a chance!"

Aochen said very firmly, so many people pay silently behind their backs, my Jun Aochen has been practicing martial arts for fifteen years, why can't he take revenge?

Xiang Sansi took two steps forward, knelt down in front of Xiang Mo with a plop, and swore solemnly: "Dad, I really want to practice martial arts, can you teach me well?" I want to one day be able to hold a horizontal knife across the rivers and lakes, and tell the world that my Xiang family's horizontal knife will never give up!"

I never taught you martial arts, I just hope that you can live a plain life, the rivers and lakes are just a pool of troubled water, why do you have to wade into it?"

Xiang Mo stood up, staggered a few steps, walked in front of Xiang Sansi, and wanted to help his son up, but found that his son refused to get up, so he looked at Xiang Sansi in a sad and self-deprecating tone.

"I like to go to the old willow noodle stall to eat noodles, once I saw a few gangsters to the old willow to ask for protection money, I stepped forward to help, but was beaten even there is no room to fight back, at that time I felt that I was useless, is a waste; I went to the gambling hall to gamble money, the other party out of the old thousand, but I don't even want the money back, but also was bitten back, said that I was out of the old thousand, this happened yesterday; a few days ago, I took a horizontal knife, and chased a few people who have been bullying me for more than ten miles, although the horizontal knife is very heavy, Although I am very tired from running, I have never been so happy to grow up so big, if you are an ordinary person, then I can live such a life without regrets, but you are not, you are a horizontal knife Xiang Mo!"

Xiang Sansi's emotions seemed to be a little out of control, tears couldn't stop flowing from the corners of his eyes, down his cheeks, and along the corners of his mouth dripping on the ground, how embarrassed he was, but no one in the hall laughed at him, and there were faint tears in the corners of Liuli and Bihan's eyes, although the Mo brothers were standing in the courtyard, they knew by looking at the ears that had been shaking slightly, and they were also paying attention to the situation in the hall.
