Chapter 184: The Common Disease of the Elderly

When he heard that Li Si had a treasure, Xiao Muqiu was very surprised, and he was so surprised that he lost another game of chess to Mu Wu.

Recently, the cooperation between the Bloody Cloak Building and the Wind and Rain Building has become closer and closer, so as the owners of the two floors, Xiao Muqiu and Mu Wu often sit together to discuss related matters during this time.

This is understandable, for the sake of the interests of the Bloody Cloak Building, Mu Wu will naturally not be absent. But what annoyed him was that every time they met, Xiao Muqiu would pull him to play chess. He has long experienced how bad Xiao Muqiu's chess skills are, and this person's chess skills are even worse, and there is no psychological pressure at all when he does things that he regrets cheating.

If it weren't for the current relationship between the two floors, Mu Wu really had the urge to cut this guy with a sword. When did he do things, when did he ever be so restrained.

This is the truth, whether it is in the face of the horse thieves outside the Guan, or when facing the Jin soldiers, he always says that he will kill, and if he doesn't agree, he will be splashed with blood in five steps. This wind and rain building is really the place that makes him eat the most.

In the wind and rain building, there is no language in the room on the top floor, and the sound of the chess pieces falling is very clear, and every chess piece falling seems to be gently knocking on people's hearts.

Mu Wu and Xiao Muqiu played against each other, one was sitting dangerously, the other was half-leaning on the table loosely and idly, the other had a grim face, and the other had a fox-like smile.

"You say. Playing with the white chess pieces in his hand, Xiao Muqiu hooked the corners of his mouth and asked, "Will there really be Li Si's treasure in Mingzhou City?"

"No, it won't. Answering lightly, Mu Wu put down a sunspot.

His voice was not heavy, but there was no hesitation. Because when Li Si was rounded up, he and Xiao Muqiu were also involved. Li Si had never been to Mingzhou City at all, and he had no chance to hide the treasure, which they all knew very well. Moreover, with the character of being lonely and unrelenting, he will not do such a boring thing as fighting for treasures at all.

Therefore, the so-called theft of the Holy Treasure is just a farce of public opinion.

"Then you say, what is Dugu no longer doing in Mingzhou City?" Xiao Muqiu looked at the chessboard and thought for a while, squinting his eyes and putting down a chess.

"I don't know, what I know is that if he is so negligent in his cultivation, he will lose to me in the World Sword Alliance next year. Mu Wu lowered his head and saw the flaws in Xiao Muqiu's chessboard at a glance. But in the end, he still sighed and landed the chess pieces in another place, which was regarded as letting Xiao Muqiu have a hand.

Because he knew that if Xiao Muqiu didn't win another game, this chess would really have to be played endlessly.

"Hmph. Snorted proudly, Xiao Muqiu was like a fox who had successfully stolen the chicken, and laughed even deeper.

"It seems that this game of chess is my turn to win. ”

As he spoke, he left behind the one he thought would be able to set the victory.

Mu Wu raised his brows, and reluctantly continued to kill him back and forth.

After a game of chess, Mu Wu conceded a total of 13 moves to Xiao Muqiu, and finally let Xiao Muqiu win three points.

"Ahh When he stretched his body quite happily, Xiao Muqiu opened the folding fan in his hand and said with a hearty smile.

"Brother Mu and I, if you really meet chess opponents, I haven't killed so happily for a long time. ”

"Hmm. Rubbing his brows tiredly, Mu Wu replied weakly, and for the first time, he felt that it was more difficult to lose than to win.

"I decided. Standing up on his own, Xiao Muqiu walked to the window, looked out the window and said with a smile.

"I'm going to Mingzhou City. ”

"Do you need me to come along?" Mu Wu still sat there, turned his head sideways, and asked lightly.

"No, I don't. Xiao Muqiu put away the folding fan, shook it behind him, and smiled to himself.

"I had a hunch that this trip was hands-free and that it was going to be fun. You should practice your own sword first, if you can defeat Dugu in the World Sword Alliance, it will also be very beneficial to our business. ”

"Hmm. Mu Wu nodded, and stopped talking.

Only Xiao Muqiu was left standing by the window, thinking about some recent news, and laughing more and more "treacherously".

······

In the past two days, there have been more and more people in the building with swords, and Li Si naturally noticed this. It seems that what he is most afraid of has happened, and this matter has finally been made big. This made him seem preoccupied every day, and the smile on his face became a little stiffer.

Xiaohe also asked him several times about this, he was a good boy who was sensible and cared about people. But this kind of thing obviously can't be said to him, so Li Si can only use nothing big as an excuse to deal with the past.

It is worth mentioning that Li Si's relationship with a few guys in the store has improved a lot recently. The reason is that Li Si is very diligent, does a lot of things, talks little, and helps others from time to time. This made Lao Luo, who originally thought he was a son-in-law, also look at him, and occasionally gossip with him.

Moreover, once Lao Luo also found that Li Si could actually paint, and the painting was really good, and there was a little bit of painting Saint Liu Ran's demeanor. This made him quite amazed, and it was really condescending for Li Si to be a running hall here.

With the increase in the number of guests, the burden on Hao Dayou's body is getting heavier and heavier. Li Si noticed this, and occasionally helped him fry a few dishes, he should have felt his kindness, and Hao Dayou was no longer so repulsive to him. When he eats at night, he occasionally helps him open some small stoves, under the pretext that Li Si has done too much, so he should eat more.

Seeing that the guys in the store were becoming more and more harmonious, Zhang Susu, the shopkeeper, was also relieved, and he let go of his worries, and recently began to tease the kitten at the door.

It's evening dinner again, and a few people in the store are sitting together for dinner again.

Compared with the quiet that was a little rusty before, the dinner now is much more lively.

Hao Dayou and Xiao Cao grabbed food, half of the immortals picked up some delicious food and took it away, Xiao He sat timidly on the side, taking care of the shopkeeper, and Li Si sat next to Lao Luo, listening to him talk about the past.

I can't see it when I was alive, it's good that this old Luo doesn't speak, but when he talks, he is simply talkative, and he doesn't stop talking for the last hour. However, his life experience is really rich, and he has never had a similar story when he opens his mouth, and Li Si can be regarded as relishing it.

After talking about the past in the Qinglou again, Lao Luo suddenly took a bite of food, looked at Li Si and said earnestly.

"But Xiaosi, you are literate, have read books, and know some Buddhism, and your painting skills are even better, and your talent really shouldn't be wasted. Well, I know a gentleman who teaches in the Chengdong Academy, and I will help you write a letter to him, and you can go to him for a lecture when your business is free in the future. Reading is a self-cultivation thing, whether it is Tengda or not, you should read more, don't lose your own time. ”

As he spoke, he patted Li Si's shoulder in a deep manner.

Looking at his embarrassed look, Li Si himself was also stunned, no matter what, he was already a centenarian.

Although the appearance is still a young man, he usually tries his best to maintain a younger heart, but after all, he can't compete with the wear and tear of the years, and occasionally there is a trace of old sorrow.

Thinking that he could pass some time with this in the future, Li Si also agreed.

"Then, thank you Elder Luo. ”

"Hey, no thanks. Lao Luo waved his hand: "Talking to you, I always have a feeling of reuniting with old friends, and we are also old friends, these little things are nothing." ”

With that, he narrowed his eyes again, as if recalling some past events, and then said quietly.

"Speaking of old friends, on the banks of the Longjiang River twenty years ago, I also met a ······"

Lao Luo's story lasted until the end of dinner, and when everyone packed up the dishes and chopsticks, they all went back to the room. He sighed, stood up, patted his shirt and said goodbye to Li Si, and then walked back to the backyard alone.

Seriously, it's been a long time since anyone wants to listen to him say so much. There are too many things in his life that he can't mention to others, so he can only reminisce alone, and then talk to Li Si alone, which really makes him feel much better.

Watching Lao Luo leave, Li Si sat in the hall, shook his head with a wry smile, and let out a long breath.

He understands Lao Luo's feelings very well, because he also has too many things to narrate to others, so he can only recall those old people and the past by himself.

This may be a common problem of the elderly.

At this time, the half-cut immortal suddenly poked his head out of the backyard and beckoned to Li Si and said.

"Si'er, Si'er, come here, I have something to say to you, I have already checked out the affairs of the Jianghu people······"
