Shi Wudu was taken aback for a moment, the smile on his face froze, and he couldn't help asking again: "What did you say?"
Bai Li then repeated: "I came here specifically to look for you, and I've been looking for you for almost half a year. For no reason, come with me."
Shi Wuduan usually pretended to be unresponsive and slow-moving, so this time he really did not react, and his face became even more confused. After a while, he asked again: "Walk with you? With you?" Where are you going?"
Bai Li said, "I'm temporarily living in Pingyang City."
Shi Wuduan came to his senses this time, his mind turned quickly, but the voice in his mouth was slower, and he asked, "What are you doing all the way to the Imperial Capital?"
He remembered that Bai Li always liked to be quiet and didn't like to make trouble. When he was a child, he was not in a hurry except for making troubles for him. The other little monsters in Cangyun Valley even talked and walked three points weaker in front of him. After Shi Wudu finished speaking, He also asked with some doubts: "People come and go in Pingyang City every day, and the usual days are a bit more lively than the fairs in other places. When did you... like a place with so many people?"
As soon as he said this, Bai Li's eyes immediately softened a little, and he said, "I don't like places with many people, but there are some things that need to be resolved... If you don't like Pingyang, we will leave as soon as we finish the matter. Nanying or Shuzhong will do, okay?"
Shi Wuduan felt very strange when he heard this voice, so he joked: "Why does it sound like you are asking me to elope with you?"
Bai Li said without changing his face: "That's what I mean."
Shi Wuyuan took a sip of wine and contributed all of it to the earth and the fat rabbit's fur, and immediately choked and coughed continuously.
Bai Li stood up, patted his back lightly, and said with a smile, "What are you doing in such a hurry to drink, I won't fight with you."
Shi Wuduan couldn't speak, he could only silently burst into tears, his heart was full of vicissitudes.
After finally recovering his breath, Shi Wuyuan waved his hands, turned his body slightly to avoid Bai Li's hand, and said, "Little Ion, sit down, and I'll have a few words with you."
Bai Li sat down beside him in an orderly manner, and Shi Wuyuan suddenly felt awkward again. How can two big men sit on the same bench for a meal
Even if no one in the private room saw it, he himself felt that the scene was too weird. So Shi Wuduan glanced at the vacant seat on the opposite side, endured it for a while, and finally couldn't help but said: "Little Ion, you should sit on the opposite side."
Bai Li's face darkened, his thoughts were actually very careful, and naturally he already felt Shi Wudu's indistinct unfamiliarity.
The days when we were young, standing side by side in the valley without any suspicion seemed to be gone forever, did that person even feel awkward sitting with him? He silently returned to the seat opposite and said, "Say it."
Shi Wudu suppressed the smile on his face, slowly filled himself a small glass of wine, thought for a moment, and then said: "Little ion, you are not an outsider, and I won't hang around with you."
Bai Li had never seen such a serious Shi Wudu, and suddenly felt a little flattered, fearing that this would be the only time in his life, so he couldn't help but sit up straight.
I only heard Shi Wuduan said: "If you say you go to Pingyang City to hide for a while, I think it's still possible. There is a saying that'take a quiet place in the middle of the noise, and hide in the city'. The seven mountain lanterns have borrowed the fortune of the country for 70 years, and it is said that the grand fu Yan Huaipu died, but he is just a mortal. I think he can barely be regarded as an emperor and general, and he may not really be able to extinguish that lantern with a single life. Even if the broken lamps are lit, these seventy years may not be able to pass smoothly, God is not so easy to fool."
Bai Li listened to him without saying a word, but fixed his eyes on him, looked at Shi Wudu as if he couldn't see enough, and didn't know how much he had listened to, so Shi Wudu continued: "I don't ask What do you want to do in Pingyang City, it’s just that the world is going to be chaotic, you have to know it yourself, so that you can do it yourself, and don’t stay in the imperial capital for a long time.”
Bai Li didn't speak for a while, and the silence between the two of them became awkward. After a while, Bai Li said softly: "I know what you said. It's just... you mean, Won't you come with me?"
Shi Wuduan picked up the wine glass, drank it tastelessly, and said in his heart, the favor has not been repaid, the grudge has not been resolved, how can I leave? Eight thousand lines of cause and effect in this yang world lead me, and there is no purity where I am, so where can I hide
Otherwise, why would Master die? Why did senior Jianghua die
Seeing that he didn't answer, Bai Li frowned slightly, and asked unwillingly: "Then what will you do to be willing to go with me?"
Shi Wuduan couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "How did you say that, okay, what are you dragging me to Pingyang City for?"
Bai Li only felt that there was a sentence in his heart that was about to come out, but he finally held back, his eyes darkened, and he said slowly: "I owe you Karma."
"You threw me out of the cave, saved my life, and paid it off."
"That doesn't count. You were here to save me. Without you, I would have been nailed to death by Bai Ziyi on the pillar." Bai Li said, paused, and said word by word, "The relationship between you and me I can't pay it off."
His words seemed to be gnashing his teeth, Shi Wudu suddenly had an ominous premonition, and sure enough, Bai Li's next sentence was: "I won't be able to clear it up for a lifetime."
There was no smile on his face, and there was a cold light in his eyes, clearly like a wild beast, full of firmness and coldness determined to win, with some kind of inexplicable paranoia.
Shi Wuduan was startled secretly, but he joked indifferently: "What are you doing? Are you going to fatten me up and eat meat? Maybe I won't have time to fatten you up by then, but I want to feed you poor first." gone."
But this time Bai Li didn't cooperate anymore, he still stared at Shi Wudu coldly, watched him laugh twice, the laughter became dry, until finally he couldn't laugh anymore, he could only smile a little embarrassedly Bow down and eat.
"You are my man." Bai Liyu declared without any surprise, "I found you, and you will come with me one day."
Shi Wuduan was known as a forerunner this time, so he didn't spray it again. He put down his chopsticks with a terrible headache, and said with a straight face, "Bai Li, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Bai Li said expressionlessly: "I never talk nonsense. You were young before, so I didn't tell you these things, but now you understand everything you should know, so I won't play around with you anymore."
Shi Wuyuan looked at Bai Li in disbelief, he couldn't help laughing, but he didn't dare to laugh, for fear that this half-demon with a big head but a small mind would become angry from embarrassment.
He thought for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand, and held Bai Li's hand across the wooden table. Bai Li was stunned for a moment, his fierce and cold expression immediately softened, and Shi Wuduan asked, "Are my hands hard?"
Bai Li was a little puzzled—Shi Wuduan's hands were nice, but his skin wasn't thin. In troubled times, following a gang of bandits and hooligans, doing business in murder and arson against the emperor, would not lead a pampered life. Although his hands It is clean, but the joints are distinct, there are many calluses on the palms and fingers, and there are many small wound marks when you look closely.
Shi Wudu took the opportunity and said earnestly and kindly: "Look, this man is hard and smelly all over his body. He is tall and big. Two men in one room will make people feel that the place is too small. It's also lower. What about women? Women are different, even women who fill up a room don't look crowded. Talk to you in a soft voice, no matter how small the place is, as long as you stay with a woman, you won’t feel any unpleasantness. Yes, women can still give birth to you. Sleeping with a beautiful woman at night, dreaming Have a good dream.”
Bai Li's face became gloomy, he grabbed Shi Wuduan's hand behind his back, gritted his teeth and asked, "So you tried it?"
After a pause for no reason, Shi said with a little embarrassment: "Cough... that's not true."
Immediately, Shi Wudu turned the topic back and continued: "Since ancient times, the reconciliation of yin and yang has been the truth. You probably didn't know that when you lived in Cangyun Valley, a man wants to be with a woman. If your father is not with your mother, without you."
Bai Li said, "I wish they hadn't given birth to me."
Shi Wudu's voice was choked again, and after a moment, he sighed and said, "Don't say that, but I think their contribution is not insignificant, otherwise where would I know you?"
Bai Li showed joy and asked, "You mean, do you like me?"
"I like it—of course I like it." Shi Wuduan said after deliberation, "You are the best brother in my life, just a brother, and it's different from the kind of people who spend their whole lives together."
Feeling that the strength of Bai Li's grip on his hand was slightly relaxed, Shi Wudu continued to say: "Brother can stab you in both sides, if you are nailed to the pillar again now, if I know , even if you risk your life alone, I will save you. If you have a happy event, I can bring two jars of wine and sit with you on the beam for a night of drinking. If you have a disaster, I will be a mountain of swords There's nothing else to say."
Seeing that Bai Li's face was loose, he tried to slowly withdraw his hand, and continued: "But no brother can spend a lifetime with you, no brother can spend the whole day with you, and no brother You can't mend clothes and have children—only your woman can live with you."
"Is it?"
Seeing the dazed look on Bai Li's face, Shi Wuduan thought that he had listened to his own words, and said, "Yes, in the vast world, there are men and women in the world of mortals, and countless beauties in pink, and there must be one among them that you are willing to swear to and hold on to." The person in your hand, if one day you meet someone you are willing to marry as husband and wife, that person will definitely make you see each other like three autumns, make you taste lovesickness all over the place, break your heart when you see it, and break your heart when you see it. Don't just lose weight. The feeling of sleeping and thinking, tossing and turning, can make people die, but you see, you and I haven't seen each other for ten years, don't we still live well?"
Bai Li frowned and said, "So..."
"So I'm just a good brother of you." Shi Wuduan laughed and said, "You have been in the mountains for so many years, and you have fallen into the Demon Sect and have no contact with outsiders, so you have fewer brothers and friends, and you will get used to it when you are in the world. You will understand these principles."
Bai Li lowered his head, although he didn't say a word, the aggressive look disappeared.
Shi Wuduan put down the money for the meal, picked up the rabbit with one hand, and pulled him up with the other: "Let's go, you have come all the way, don't rush away, come and stay with me for a few days."
Naturally, Bai Li didn't refuse, so he followed him all the way. He stared at Shi Wuduan's back, squinted his eyes, and thought to himself: Does this brat think I don't know anything? And fool me with this kind of nonsense nonsense. It seems that he won't be able to react for a while, and he doesn't want to go with me. It will be troublesome if he is pushed too hard. Anyway, he has skills, so he doesn't care to deal with him. If it really doesn't work in the end, he will try harder.
He made up his mind, and finally Shi Wudu was relieved to find that he was "normal", at least he stopped clamoring to elope with him.
Shi Wuduan took Bai Li back to the camp when the sun was about to set - it used to be the Guji Palace, and it used to be called the Guji City Lord's Mansion.
Although Guji City is not big, the owner's house is very grand. The antique "flowing cup water" and the small pavilion rockery in the courtyard seem to be full of craftsmanship, but they are a bit arty, but it is enough to fool Meng Zhongyong and other country bumpkins. .
Several people moved into the garden one after another, and after tidying up, they occupied the house of the former city lord's concubine.
When Shi Wuduan brought the rabbit back, Cuipingniao flew towards him. It seemed to still remember the rabbit. Shi Wuduan let go of his hand, and the pair of birds and beasts ran to recognize their relatives. Meng Zhongyong and Li Siniang As soon as he came out of it, Meng Zhongyong saw it and asked a little puzzled: "Why is this dog's ears so long? Where did it come from?"
Li Siniang said with a smile: "I think it's a rabbit, right? Little monkey, if you buy such a fat rabbit, is it possible that it will be stewed for dinner?"
Shi Wuduan said: "Where is it? No matter how fat a rabbit is, it is still a stupid piece of meat. It is not as good as the overnight meal that the fourth sister rubbed a handful of oil and fried."
Li Siniang nodded on his head and scolded: "Little monkey, you have a sweet mouth."
Shi Wuduan said: "Talk is sweet."
Li Siniang's eyes had long been on Bai Li, and the first time she saw this person, she couldn't help but light up in front of her eyes, thinking that there are such beautiful people in the world. Dang Shi patted Shi Wuduan on the shoulder and said: "Okay, how old are you and you don't know how to be polite, you know how to talk nonsense, and even the guests are left alone."
Shi Wuduan put his arms around Bai Li's shoulder and said, "Little Ion, this is Li Rushuang, my fourth sister whom I worshiped, and that is my fifth brother Meng Zhongyong. I'll take you to see elder brother and third brother later. Fourth sister, this It was a little brother of mine when I was a child, who had been separated for many years, and met today on the street, don’t you think it’s fate?”
Several people have met, but Bai Li also gave him face, although he is not very friendly when talking with others, but his etiquette is considerate anyway. He watched Li Siniang frantically tidying up a room for Shi Wuduan in the small courtyard where Shi Wuduan lived. From the words of a woman, I thought to myself, could it be this woman
However, when Shi Wuyuan's casual eyes swept over him, he quickly changed into a somewhat awkward and awkward expression towards strangers, without revealing the slightest clue... It's considered miraculous.
