There seems to be a very strange tacit understanding between these friends, that is, they never ask about other people's past, and they never tell others about their past.

But on the night that Yan Qi brought Lin Taiping back, Guo Dalu broke this rule.

That night, the snow had begun to melt.

Lin Taiping was still asleep, of course Wang Dong was not to be outdone, Guo Dalu only dragged Yan Qi to the bottom of the mountain to "hunt".

Hunting means looking to see if there are any opportunities to make money.

No.

When the snow melts, it is colder than when it snows, and going to bed when you are full is the smartest way to deal with the cold, and there is hardly a figure to be seen on the streets.

Guo Dalu and Yan Qi are like two lonely ghosts, walking in the mud with one foot high and one foot low, Guo Dalu has been looking at Yan Qi's boots.

Later, he couldn't help but ask, "Are your boots bottomed again?"

Yan Qi said: "Hmm." ”

Guo Dalu said: "I never asked you how the soles of your previous shoes were worth thousands of taels of silver, did you?"

Yan Qidao: "Yes." ”

Guo Dalu said: "I didn't ask you how you died seven times, did you?"

Yan Qi said: "You really didn't ask. ”

Guo Dalu's eyes were full of hope, and he said, "What if I ask?

Yan Qi said: "Maybe you are willing to ...... But I know you'll never ask, because I've never asked you anything. ”

Guo Dalu straightened his face and gritted his teeth hard.

Yan Qi suddenly said again: "What kind of person do you think Lin Taiping is?"

Guo Dalu said with a straight face: "I don't know, and I don't want to ask." ”

Yan Qi smiled and said, "Of course we won't ask him, but it's okay to guess for yourself." ”

Yan Qi said again: "Maybe he slipped out of the house for something." The clothes he wore were very thin, indicating that he must have come from a very warm place. He didn't have anything with him, which means that he must have been in a hurry when he came out, and maybe he escaped. ”

Guo Dalu said: "I didn't expect you to be very careful." ”

Yan Qi smiled and said, "A person who is freezing and starving in such a cold weather must not be able to support it for long." ”

Guo Dalu sighed and said, "At most, it can only support three or two days." ”

Yan Qidao: "If you can only support it for three days, he can only support it for a day and a half at most." ”

Guo Dalu smiled: "Yes, I'm used to it, but he is a pampered young master." ”

Yan Qidao: "In this kind of weather, no matter how far anyone can walk in a day and a half. ”

Guo Dalu said: "Do you mean that his home is not far from the neighborhood?"

Yan Qi said: "Hmm." ”

Guo Dalu said: "Are there any rich people nearby?"

Yan Qi said: "There are not a few, and there are even fewer martial arts families. ”

Guo Dalu said: "Why does he have to be from a martial arts family? Could it be that he is such a polite person who can also be martial?"

Yan Qidao: "Not only is he good at martial arts, but his martial arts are not weak. ”

Guo Dalu said: "How do you see it?"

Yan Qi said: "I just saw it." ”

He didn't wait for Guo Dalu to ask again, and then said, "As far as I know, there are only two martial arts families nearby. ”

Guo Dalu said: "Which family is surnamed Lin?"

Yan Qidao: "Neither family is surnamed Lin, Lin Taiping is not necessarily surnamed Lin, since he escaped, how can he tell others his real name?"

Guo Dalu said: "Which two do you know?"

Yan Qidao: "The family is surnamed Xiong, and the owner of the village is called 'Peach and Plum All Over the World' Xiong Cup, who is the owner of the family's big martial arts field, although the peach and plum are all over the world, he is a single man, not only has no children, but also has no wife. ”

Guo Dalu said: "What about the other one?"

Yan Qidao: "There is also a family surnamed Mei, although there is a son and a daughter, but the son 'Shiren' Mei Rujia has been famous in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he must be much older than Lin Taiping." ”

Guo Dalu said: "Why did he choose a name called Shiren?"

Yan Qidao: "It is said that the martial arts of this family are very peculiar, and the blades and hidden weapons used are made of stone, so his father is called 'Stone God', and he is called 'Stone Man'." ”

Guo Dalu said with a smile: "Then what is the name of his son in the future? Will it be called Shigou?"

It's a quiet mountain town, with narrow streets and a bit steep.

The construction of the houses on both sides is also very ordinary. Although there is no change yet, the lights in most people's homes have been turned off, and most of the people who do business have opened their doors, and even if there are still lights coming out of the windows, the lights are very dim. Very few people will burn two lamps in a room, and even fewer use candles, because lamp oil is always cheaper than candles.

Guo Dalu sighed and said: "This is really a poor place, people who have been here for a long time will not only get poorer and poorer, but also become more and more lazy. ”

Yan Qi said: "You are wrong, I like this place very much." ”

Guo Dalu said: "Oh?"

Yan Qidao: "No matter where I am, I will feel very nervous, and only here will I feel free and unrestrained." ”

Guo Dalu said: "Because the people in this place are so poor that they can't even take care of themselves, they have no time to take care of other people's affairs." ”

Yan Qidao: "You are wrong again, this place is not poor at all." ”

Guo Dalu smiled: "Of course we are not poor compared to us, but ......"

Yan Qi interrupted him and said, "You look at the poor people in this place, it's just because they don't want to show off. For example, the pawnshop owner that Wang Dong recognizes, not only is he not poor, but he must also be a very talented person. ”

Guo Dalu said: "What's the origin?"

Yan Qidao: "In my opinion, even if this person was not a Jiangyang thief before, he must be a very famous martial arts figure." I don't know if it's because I avoided revenge and disaster, or because I'm tired of the rivers and lakes, so I hid here. ”

He then added: "There are many people like him here. In the future, when I want to retire, I will definitely live here. ”

Guo Dalu said: "According to what you say, isn't this a place where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?"

Yan Qi said: "It's not bad at all. ”

Guo Dalu said: "Why can't I see it?"

Yan Qi smiled and said, "If a person has died seven times, he will naturally see more than others." ”

Guo Dalu said: "But you still haven't seen Lin Taiping's origin, since he will not be the son of the Mei family, nor will he be the descendant of the Xiong family, you have been talking for a long time, it is not in vain." ”

Yan Qi was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "Have you ever heard of the name 'Land Dragon King'?"

Guo Dalu said with a smile: "This name is only deaf and has never heard of it, even if I am lonely and unheard, at least I am not deaf." ”

Yan Qi said: "I heard that the Dragon King on the land also has a villa nearby. ”

Guo Dalu said: "Do you doubt that Lin Taiping is his son?"

Yan Qi said: "It's possible. ”

Guo Dalu said: "There is no possibility, there is absolutely no possibility." ”

Yan Qidao: "Why?"

Guo Dalu said: "In the rivers and lakes, everyone knows that the Dragon King on the land is a man who hides seven feet, how could he give birth to a son like a little girl?"

Yan Qi said coldly: "Whether a person is a man or not is not determined by his appearance. ”

Guo Dalu glanced at him and said with a smile: "Of course not, but ......"

He suddenly closed his mouth, and his whole body seemed to be frozen.

There were no pedestrians on the street, but a man came up to me.

As soon as Guo Dalu saw this person, his eyes straightened.

What can make Guo Dalu's eyes straight, of course, is a girl, a beautiful girl.

This girl is not only beautiful, but she is very beautiful.

Although she was wearing a coarse cloth dress, no matter what clothes were worn on her, she would look good, and Guo Dalu had almost never seen a woman with such a good figure.

She carried two large baskets in her hands, and whoever carried two such large baskets in her hands would definitely walk like a crab.

But the way she walked was still so beautiful that it made people's eyes straight, and if she didn't carry a basket in her hand, Guo Dalu might have even dropped her eyes.

The girl didn't notice them at first, but when she suddenly saw Guo Dalu's dejected appearance, she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

Guo Dalu's heart immediately jumped up like a drumstick, and when the girl had turned the corner, he was still standing there stupidly.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh and said, "It seems that this place is indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon......"

Yan Qi smiled: "I'm afraid it's not the Hidden Dragon, it's the Hidden Phoenix." ”

Guo Dalu said: "Yes, yes, yes." The ancients said that within ten steps, there must be fragrant grass, and this sentence is really not bad at all. ”

He suddenly puffed up his chest and said, "What do you think I look like?"

Yan Qi went up and down the ground, glanced at him a few times, and replied: "It's not bad, tall and big-eyed, and he is quite popular when he laughs." ”

Guo Dalu said: "If you were a girl, would you take a fancy to me?"

Yan Qi pursed his lips and smiled, "Maybe ......"

Guo Dalu suddenly saw that he was smiling not only very charming, but also very much like a girl, and couldn't help laughing: "But if you are a girl, I am afraid that no man in the world can stand it." ”

Yan Qi raised his face and said, "I'm afraid there are few women who can stand you." ”

Guo Dalu said: "Why? Didn't you just say that I was pretty good-looking?"

Yan Qi said: "But you are dirty, lazy, and unreliable, women will never like this kind of man." ”

Guo Dalu said with a smile: "That's just because you're not a woman, in fact, women like this, and this is the true nature of men." ”

Yan Qi looked as if he was about to vomit, and said with a bitter face: "Do you think that girl just now fell in love with you?"

Guo Dalu said: "Of course, otherwise why would she smile at me?"

Yan Qi couldn't help laughing and said: "There are many kinds of laughter for girls, they will laugh when they see a person who is dumbfounded, and they will laugh when they see a toad and Zhu Bajie." ”

Guo Dalu was so angry that he almost screamed, "Do you think I ......?"

He suddenly shut his mouth again, for the girl had come out of the corner again.

The basket she was carrying was empty, but now it was full of things, so she looked struggling, and the ground was so muddy that her feet slipped suddenly, and she fell forward, and the basket in her hand flew out.

Fortunately, she met Guo Dalu and Yan Qi.

Yan Qi's reaction has always been fast, Guo Dalu's reaction is not slow, as soon as her feet slipped, their people had already jumped out like arrows.

The basket had not fallen to the ground, Yan Qi had reached out to follow, the girl had not fallen, Guo Dalu had reached out to hold her.

She gasped for a while before she came to her senses, and suddenly found that a strange man's hand was still holding her, and her face immediately turned red.

Guo Dalu's heart was also beating, and he muttered, "Is the girl okay?"

The girl blushed, lowered her head, and said, "I...... I don't know how to thank you. ”

Yan Qi had found that the basket was full of food, including smoked chicken, beef, and oil cakes that were yellowed on both sides.

He really wanted to say, "It's so easy for you to thank us, just a chicken and two loaves of bread." ”

But seeing Guo Dalu's affectionate appearance towards others, how could he lose his friend's person?

What's more, Guo Dalu had already rushed to say: "This is a trivial matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." ”

The girl suddenly looked up at him, smiled again, and said, "You are really good people. ”

Although she said "you", her eyes were only staring at Guo Dalu alone.

Guo Dalu's heart was also crispy, and the people were also crispy, and he ate and said: "Girl, you ...... You...... Do you use ...... No need to be a guest...... Polite. ”

The girl had already taken the basket, and suddenly turned back and smiled, and then lowered her head and walked forward.

If Guo Dalu's soul is still there, this smile really made his soul fly away.

His man was nailed there like nails, but his soul seemed to have been carried away in a basket.

Yan Qidao: "There is such a good opportunity, why don't you chase it quickly?"

Guo Dalu sighed: "Do you think I'm really a pervert?"

Yan Qi said lightly: "Even if it's not, it's about the same." ”

The girl had already walked far away, but at this moment she suddenly stopped, turned around and smiled: "I bought a lot of vegetables, will you two go back with me for a drink?"

This demand came from the mouth of a beautiful woman, and listened to the ears of two cold and hungry people, and it was ten times better than the best music in the world.

If someone refuses such a request, it is not a fool.

Yan Qi is not a nerd, and Guo Dalu is not either.

Although he was still saying, "What's so embarrassing about this?" but one of his feet had already taken a big step and followed.

Alas, why do heroes always have a hard time passing the beauty pass?

Why didn't Guo Dalu ask where this girl was going to take them?

It seems that even if she wants to take them to sell, Guo Dalu will follow.
