Chapter 16: A Different Life
Qiao Chen's injury has recovered seven or eight points, and he will be fully recovered in a few days. This was almost a full month ahead of the expected two-month recovery.
In the past month, what Changsun Qi did surprised people everywhere, making Qiao Zhen completely subvert his opinion of this eldest grandson brother. A month ago, he felt that this eldest grandson brother was stupid and stupid, and that he was simply useless, and a month later, he felt that this eldest grandson brother was omnipotent, omnipotent, and omnipotent, except for a little slow reaction, and he was simply a rare talent.
Qiao Zhen even felt that with his martial arts and his talent, he could be proud of the rivers and lakes, unrestrained, despise the crowd, and live whatever kind of life he wanted, no one dared to stop him, and no one dared to say that he was not. Even if he wanted to start a sect, it would not be difficult to come. But he didn't, he didn't seem to see these bright spots in himself, but felt that he was inferior everywhere, so he was very humble, for fear that he would do something wrong and make others unhappy.
Changsun Qi said: "That's, that's not too good." ”
Did he really not see these advantages of himself, or did he do it on purpose? If he did it on purpose, then what did he want to get rid of? What kind of story did he hide in his heart that was not known to outsiders? All this was like a mystery, which made Qiao Zhen full of curiosity about Changsun Qi's past.
Although Changsun Qi took good care of Qiao Chen, the two of them rarely spoke - mainly because Changsun Qi was reluctant to speak. Although Qiao Zhen kept provoking Changsun Qi with topics, trying to learn more information about his past from him, Changsun Qi seemed to be very cautious, and when he mentioned his past, he was reluctant to talk about it.
On this day, after the eldest grandson Qi applied good medicine to Qiao Chen's broken bones, Qiao Zhen said: "Brother eldest grandson, thank you for your careful care for more than a month, my injury is almost healed." ”
Changsun Qi shook his head and said, "No, it will take ten days to recover." In the past few days, we must pay attention to good maintenance to prevent sequelae. ”
Qiao Zhen said: "I understand. Brother Eldest Sun, I don't know something, I have always wanted to ask you, but I don't know how to speak, and I am afraid that you will be angry when you hear it. ”
Eldest Sun Qi said: "Brother Qiao, you and I get along day and night, I have long regarded you as my brother, if you have anything to say, just say hello." ”
Qiao Zhen couldn't hold back his curiosity anymore and asked, "Brother Eldest Sun, you are so good at taking care of people and so humble, why did your master drive you down the mountain?"
Changsun Qi was silent for a long time before he said: "My master, alas, it's all my fault, I made his old man angry!"
Qiao Zhen couldn't help but say: "How can you make him angry? I think you will make him angry again, after all, the master-apprentice relationship is deep, and he will not drive you down the mountain for no reason." There must be some other reason!"
Changsun Qi looked up at the sky and muttered, "What other reasons? What other reasons? In short, it's me who is not good, and I have caused the master." Please don't ask any more. ”
Seeing this, Qiao Zhen had to be silent. The eldest grandson Qi said: "You can take a rest, I'll go out first." With that, he walked out of the cave.
But after an hour, when Eldest Sun Qi brought a hot meal to Qiao Zhen to eat, the two of them still didn't talk much as usual, as if the conversation just now hadn't happened.
After another ten days, Qiao Chen's injuries had fully recovered. At noon that day, Qiao Zhen happily jumped off the bed, played a set of Fuhu punches vigorously, and then said happily: "Brother Eldest Sun, I have finally recovered." I can't move for more than a month, but I can't move!"
Changsun Qi sat on the side and looked at him, just smirking.
Qiao Zhen said: "Brother Eldest Sun, you wait for me, I want to go down the mountain." ”
Changsun Qi said: "What are you doing at the bottom of the mountain? You have just recovered from your injuries, what if you encounter an enemy?"
Qiao Zhen said: "Don't worry, you can rest this afternoon and wait for me to come back." After saying that, he picked up the short sword and ran down the mountain with a puff of smoke.
Eldest Sun Qi looked at Qiao Xu's back and shouted, "You...... You have to be careful. ”
Qiao Zhen replied from afar: "Okay, I know." ”
When Qiao Zhen came back, the sun had already set, and Changsun Qi was also taken aback when he saw him. I saw that he was carrying two large jars of wine in his left hand and right hand, and he was carrying a large package on his back, and when he saw the eldest grandson Qi from afar, he shouted: "Quick, come and help me!"
Changsun Qi took two large jars of wine from him, and the two returned to the cave, Qiao Zhen threw the package on his back to the ground, and suddenly the aroma was fragrant, and it turned out that there were a lot of roast chicken, roast duck, braised fish, four cold dishes, etc. Qiao Zhen was arrogant and said: "Today, in order to celebrate my rebirth, we are going to eat meat, drink wine, and drink without getting drunk!"
The eldest grandson Qi said: "It turns out that you didn't see you all afternoon, so you went down the mountain to buy these drinks and dishes!"
Qiao Zhen said: "Yes." Don't underestimate these four jars of wine. This is the seventy-year-old Shaoxing daughter red treasured in the Taibai Building, which can only be drunk by the wealthy or dignitaries, and ordinary people may not be able to drink it even if they have money. I really put a lot of effort into these four jars of wine. ”
The eldest grandson smacked his tongue and said, "Ah, these four jars of wine can't be stolen by you, right?" ”
Qiao Zhen laughed and said, "How can it be called stealing? In the past, there was a sheep in the hand, and now there is me Qiao Zhen in the hand with the wine." Those officials take the offerings of the common people, all day long in the wine pond and Yulin, drunk and dreaming of death, let's take him a few jars of wine, it's nothing. ”
Changsun Qi said worriedly: "Brother Qiao, I think we should stop drinking, you can return this wine tomorrow." Looking at these jars of wine, my heart is not very steady. ”
Qiao Zhen smiled and said: "Brother Eldest Sun, I think you are just too honest, so you are always bullied." A few jars of wine, what's the point? Today is for my birthday, and if you don't drink it, you'll look down on me. ”
The eldest grandson Qi had a worried look on his face and wanted to say something, but he still held back.
Qiao Zhen picked up a jar of wine, patted open the mud seal, poured it into two large bowls respectively, and said: "Brother Eldest Sun, you and I meet in Pingshui, thank you for taking care of you these days, come, this bowl, I respect you!" After speaking, he picked up the big bowl, raised his neck, and drank a bowl of wine "gurgling" into his stomach.
Seeing that Qiao Zhen drank a big bowl of wine in a blink of an eye, the eldest grandson Qi couldn't bear to brush off his kindness, so he also picked up another bowl of wine and drank it to the bottom.
After a bowl of wine, Changsun Qi only felt that his stomach was hot, recalling that this wine was fragrant and fragrant, sweet but not spicy, and couldn't help blurting out: "Good wine, really good wine!"
Qiao Zhen saw that he also drank a big bowl.
