Chapter Ten The Sword of Mount Tai(3/3)
"Come on, eat chicken legs while it's hot."
Cheng Yaojin hummed a song and put down the bowl and left.
"Oh, thank you."
Li Bai picked it up and chewed it skillfully, and was captured by the delicious food in front of him, but he forgot his bold words just now.
"...You're living a pretty good life. The food is so good, I've gained at least two pounds. I don't have time, otherwise I'll come to gain weight with you."
Xun Qing ate all over his hands, as if he was reincarnated by a starving ghost: "Master Cheng, this elbow is great, is there any?"
"Ah? This one has been stewed for quite a long time." Cheng Yaojin leaned out from the kitchen: "But I still have two smoked ones there, just so happens that time, why don't you take one away later?"
"Then the relationship is good! I'll call you a ventilator fan and pack it to send a tray washing machine. That thing is easy to use!"
He was overjoyed and killed another dish.
You can eat and drink for free when you bring wine to your door, and you can pack and take away what you can't finish. What kind of immortal place is this?
"It's so sinful."
He was filled with his body, touched his round belly, and his eyes were still reluctant to leave, looking at the last bite of osmanthus cake in the bowl. In the end, he couldn't eat it, so he could only give up with tears.
"A life of such a luxurious life will be a short life."
"I said, Xun Qing, are you okay?" Li Bai looked at this guy who liberated his original form in confusion, unable to understand.
Originally seeing him as sloppy, Li Bai thought he was exhausted and restless all day and night. As a result, he grabbed the meal faster than he originally robbed. He only had three and a half bowls of wine he brought to his door, and Li Bai had only less than half a bowl of it.
This guy wouldn't have been caught by a black workshop and become a coolie, right?
"I'm fine, it's pretty good."
Xun Qing scratched his head, without limiting his hand oil, sighed distressedly: "It's just that there are many things, it's more troublesome... but it's all okay, you can solve it with just one effort."
"Where is Mr. Lu?" Li Bai asked: "Have you improved?"
“… Maybe, it will be a hindrance.”
Xun Qing was silent for a moment, shook his head and sighed: "He often told me that life and death cannot be determined by fate, success and failure depend on himself. He has never given up in his life, and I don't believe that he will lose.
But at this point, I'm afraid I can only pray that God will give him some more time."
Li Bai was silent for a long time.
The chopsticks in his hand were hanging in the air, and it took a long time to realize what they meant. After asking again and again, after finally getting a definite answer from Xun Qing, he felt dull.
Lost.
"Blame me." Li Bai said: "If I can stop the deer antler..."
"It's easy to be a thief for a thousand days, but how can it be possible to defend against a thief for a thousand days?"
Xun Qing shook his head: "Don't be discouraged. Li Bai and Mr. Lu must not want to see us depressed. Besides, this is not your responsibility."
"Why?"
Li Bai frowned: "Even you think I shouldn't care?"
"No, I just want to say, this is my business."
Xun Qing held the wine cup, lowered his head and stared at the wine in the cup, and his unshaven reflection. After thinking for a while, he couldn't help laughing.
"Yes."
He said: "This is what I should do."
Li Bai was stunned.
Xun Qing raised his head, drank the wine, wiped the corner of his mouth, and suddenly said, "My teacher is a stubborn person with a bad temper and a stubborn reason. He always refuses to admit defeat or bow his head. In the end, he rebelled against his brothers who had a fight with Mr. Lu... But until his death, he felt that the child I was picked up would definitely have a future, be stronger than him, and be able to carry forward his hard work."
"So too, Mr. Lu. Although he has never praised me, he always reveals my true colors when I am inflated... But who would spend so much effort on a troublemaker who doesn't like?"
"Although my father died very early, they are all like my father... Now that my father has fallen, isn't it time for the child to play?"
"This is my battle, Li Bai."
He said, "I won't give in."
Absolutely not!
It seemed that the depression and confusion were washed away in the wine, and there was no more haze.
When he straightened his back, his smile became cheerful and open, and he was indescribable.
In the silence, Li Bai looked at the man in front of him in a daze, in disbelief.
Holding the wine cup, his fingers were shaking slightly.
Unsuppressed.
I never thought that one day, I could feel such amazing courage from this friend!
It was as if the young Dao Xuan Gong, who was dozens of years younger, suddenly appeared in front of him, pressing the sword of Mount Tai and challenging him, making his sword intent uncontrollably admire him.
"...You are very strong, Xun Qing."
Li Bai asked curiously, "When did it become like this?"
"Of course it's since I met you." Xun Qing grinned proudly: "Otherwise? Will you cry and shout for help all your life?"
"Ha! It's really becoming more and more annoying."
"yes."
Xun Qing laughed, "Cheer to our hated life!"
"cheers!"
Li Bai raised his wine glass with admiration and felt the wine burning in his chest like a fire. After coming to Chang'an, how could he taste such a refreshing taste?
He was already intoxicated by it.
Time is always short, and when the wine in the jar is gone, it is already dark.
There was a faint thunder sound in the distance.
A faint raindrop fell from the sky.
Li Bai looked up and looked at the dark sky, "It's going to rain."
"Well, after the rain, the air will be much more refreshing. We can take a car to go outing, and the white deer plateau will be full of flowers, and your poems will definitely be beautiful at that time."
Xun Qing sighed and stood up, moving his stiff back and shoulders and neck: "I should leave too. I skipped the work for so long. If I don't go back, the workshop will be in chaos... Ha, fortunately, when I went out, Axiang asked me to bring an umbrella."
He happily supported the oil-paper umbrella that had been around for some time and turned around to wave goodbye to his friend.
In this way, he left in the rain.
But when I walked out the door, I couldn't help but look back and smiled when I saw the boy behind the door behind me.
No more fear.
"Bless me, Li Bai." He said, "I'm going to fight."
"The flag is open and wins, Xun Qing!"
Li Bai nodded: "I will cheer for you!"
Xun Qing didn't say anything, just raised his right hand and clenched his fists.
In this way, the thin figure held an umbrella and walked towards the storm of the future.
No looking back.
Not long after, in the sky, thunder and thunder roared, and heavy rain poured down, swallowing everything.
Gradually cold.
But for some reason, Li Bai felt that the blood pumping in his chest was burning.
Like melted iron.
No matter how cold the wind and rain are, they cannot extinguish the heat that seems to be about to the whole world.
He finally understood—
Chapter completed!
