Resentment, he has heard about Li Langyu, no matter what, it is too self-willed to neglect a table of people during the New Year, and he has to take care of Cheng Lan's face.

Cheng Lan was embarrassed and said, "you eat first, I'll wait."

"No need!" Cheng Hanliang said, "Ajing, close the door for me, and everyone else will come to the table, eat what you need to eat, drink what you need to drink, you don't have to wait for him."

With stern words, everyone had to obey obediently. Cheng Hanliang didn't move his chopsticks, got up, and called Butler Zhang out.

"Fourth Master, don't be angry. This son is more stubborn than his daughter. It's not so easy to make him obey." Butler Zhang complied with the request and started the car.

Cheng Hanliang had a gloomy face, and finally sighed helplessly, urging him to get on the road quickly.

Li Langyu knelt in the center of the hall, looking up at his parents' tablet, Bai Jingqiu hit him on the back with a depilatory duster.

She was angry, full of anger, she managed to pull this child up, let him go to a good school, study abroad, not for him to get ahead and live a stable life. But he went to provoke those who shouldn't, and tried to hide her from deceiving her. He really thought his life was not important!

"I told you a long time ago, don't take revenge, why don't you listen to it, who is Cheng Hanliang and what his status is, if you go, you will hit the stone with an egg!"

"But I can't suffer like this for nothing!" Li Langyu replied angrily.

"You're still talking back!" Bai Jingqiu slammed a stick, "You've read so many books, but you can't see it in your self-cultivation book, so you realize these things! I've raised you until now, so I'm going to die just to see you!"

"You're very promising. If it wasn't for him to tell me, I would never have imagined that you would think about the method of going in and out, and you have been lying to me, saying that the school teaching is so flawless!"

She beat him with stick after stick, her whole arm shaking, pale as a dry bone.

No matter how much effort and effort she put in, the child didn't care. This makes her not sad! Why not be sad!

"You know what's wrong!"

"Say it!"

Li Langyu resisted to say a word, the names on the tablet seemed to have eyes, and they looked at him one by one.

Bai Jingqiu threw the duster away, her whole body hovered on the edge of grief, she bent down, covered her mouth and made a whimper, and finally stretched out her hand tremblingly and embraced Li Langyu in her arms. After so many years of being dependent on each other, even if he made a mistake, she still couldn't bear it.

"Why are you so confused, do you think it's so easy to live!" Her throat tightened and her voice was hairy.

Li Langyu pressed her shoulders and took a few breaths, her face still wet, "Aunt Bai, I know you are doing it for my own good. But there is no child in this world who would not care that their parents were killed by others, and I live with peace of mind.”

"That's because you haven't become a parent yet. All parents want their children to be safe and healthy. Usually it's a blessing. You're jumping into the fire pit."

"If I don't dance, my life will suffer, so what's the difference?"

There are only two paths, the only difference being that one is more painful. Sooner or later, you have to make a choice, it is better to simply have a refreshment.

Li Langyu tightened his breath and looked up slightly, becoming sluggish and slow. He seemed to have lost his deafness in the sound of firecrackers. Fireworks burst into the night sky, colorful, looking through the dusty glass window, there is a kind of desolate desolation, all fell in Peiping on New Year's Eve.

Butler Zhang drove the car around, firecrackers were sprinkled in the snow, and the red and white were a mess. His eyes were so stretched that he didn't dare to blink, thinking that he was getting older and his eyesight was not as good as before, and now he had to do the job of finding someone. That bastard was really frustrating.

He drove to the second road outside Beijie, and happened to see a tall figure walking under the lamp. Who else could it be, not the one who let the fourth master of Cheng beat him, scold him, hurt him, and get angry. No, Uncle Cheng, who finally came out to find someone without even having the New Year's Eve dinner? It seems that his old eyes are not dim.

Li Langyu walked back along the wall, walking fast and slow, frowning lightly and thinking about something in her heart. At this moment, a bunch of lights came over, and then the car honked. When he looked back, he saw Butler Zhang smiled and said, "Master, don't hurry alone when it's cold. Are you going to go up Liangshan or go back to Wuxingshan?"

Don't look at Lao Zhang, who usually has a happy face with a smile on his face. In fact, as soon as Sichuan's spicy energy comes up, he is an old fried dough stick and a real Pixiu. Three words will make your throat hurt.

The door of the car opened, and Cheng Hanliang sat inside, lukewarm, and came in. Li Langyu frowned and seemed to be fighting psychologically. In the end, reason prevailed.

He got into the car.

The car was moving slowly, but housekeeper Zhang shook his head and hummed a folk song, but the sound was not loud. Li Langyu leaned on the car seat and said coldly, "Have you gone to find Aunt Bai?"

Cheng Hanliang hummed, "Meet the old man."

Li Langyu's chest heaved for a while, and said, "Why did you tell her about me?" As soon as he said that, he immediately felt that the question was stupid and redundant.

Cheng Hanliang turned his head and said, "She should know, you can't hide it for long." It's just a matter of time.

Li Langyu simply turned his head away and just looked out the window, no matter if there was any resentment in his heart. He is not provoked as often as he was at the beginning, but it has become a pool of stagnant water, a dry well, and when winter comes, it is extremely hard and cold.

Entering the gate of Cheng's house, Cheng Hanliang took the lead to walk out, and Li Langyu was still sitting on it, thinking it was deliberately staggered. Butler Zhang finished humming the tune, saw the stubborn young man in the rearview mirror, lit a cigarette and said to him, "I probably know something about the relationship between you and the fourth master, to be honest, you guys The new youth are always very attached to the truth of the matter, and the right and wrong are divided as in the Chu River and Han world. If you want me to say that there are so many truths and falsehoods, although my eyes are not as good as yours, I see more things than you, people. Hey, you have to learn to bow your head first before you have the chance to look up."

He opened the doors on both sides, walked over to Li Langyu and said with a grin on his face, "The Five Elements Mountains are here, please come back, Uncle. Relax, wait a little longer, maybe Tang Sanzang will come."

Li Langyu glanced at him briefly, then walked out through the other door.

The light was not turned on in the bedroom. Li Langyu felt the darkness and found the switch. When the light came on, he couldn't open his eyes. He went to the bed and flipped over the quilt. Something rolled onto the ground and made a loud noise. .

Under the bright chandelier, the silver light shines. He looked down.

It's the red tassel silver gun.

Chapter twenty six

After the seventh day of the first lunar month, there were more and more people walking on the streets, small shops reopened, temple fairs outside the city were held, attracting many old people and children, and a few artists came to the overpass, imitating the "Eight Eccentrics on Overpasses" in Peiping back then. ", when it comes to learning to sing, there has also been a small craze. With the change of regime, many folk artists have disappeared one after another, and the overpass is not as lively as it used to be. Back then, Yunli Fei sang funny Erhuang, big golden teeth pulled foreign films, Jiao Dehai said stand-up comics, and Da Bing Huang scolded the street for selling medicine and candy. Kidnappers beat bricks and race donkeys, and now it is just a commonplace among the elderly in Peiping. At the beginning, there is a sentence "thinking about the past", how it is.

However, this is not the most lively, the most lively has to be the Lantern Festival, that is where the lights are hung everywhere.

In the first few days of the first month, Li Langyu did not go out. The most common thing he did every day was to scrub the red tassel silver gun. There were faint ink marks on the gun, which were left before they were wiped away in time. His "masterpiece" when he was a child was when the boy was growing up. He used a brush to mark small horizontal lines on the gun body every half a month.

The gun body is old, the tassel is sparse and faded, which makes it look like a person who has been tortured by years, from youthful to the age of the sun, the suffering in the middle is endless and indescribable, but think about it a little bit. Tears will fall. Li Langyu thought, how pitiful it must be, left alone outside, and now it has finally returned, just like Zhang Qian who finally returned to Han after thirteen years. He held it in the palm of his hand, and the cold metal unconsciously produced a hint of warmth, as if there were hands holding him back, old and powerful, he could even feel the veins of the palm lines, the calloused skin, With slender phalanxes, these invisible hands made him feel extremely at ease, as if telling him that when Feng Xue Ye returned home, everything could come back.

Hearing from Butler Zhang, when Cheng Hanliang asked Feng Shangyuan for this silver spear by drunkenness, the other party was quite unhappy, but it was not easy to attack, so he swallowed his anger. Li Langyu didn't respond to this, but Steward Zhang asked him with a smile, "Great Sage, you have returned this golden hoop stick, are you still making trouble?"

But a golden hoop can't change the pain of being crushed for five hundred years. Li Langyu ignored her with a cold face.

Well, it's still this stubborn stinky monkey, and one day I really have to put a spell on it. Butler Zhang spat out a mouthful of the melon seed skin and hummed a Sichuan tune again.

Yueqiao came to Cheng's house on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, and followed Ah Jing to get acquainted with the surroundings. She had heard that the uncle of the Cheng family had come here, so she couldn't help but pay more attention. The fourth master Cheng and Li Langyu were standing in the yard, seemingly What are you talking about.

"Let's go out with Lan Lan on the Lantern Festival, you probably haven't seen it for a long time."

He really hadn't seen the Lantern Festival in Peiping for a long time, and it would be good to take a walk.

The cheongsam that Cheng Lan mentioned to him last time has been finalized. She originally wanted to visit Xu Guiying in person, but Li Langyu shied away from it for other reasons, so Madam Xu probably left Peiping at this moment. The size of the cheongsam was given according to Bai Jingqiu's standards. The texture of the fabric was very good. Li Langyu chose a time to bring it to Bai Jingqiu.
