Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 98 Drunk, the doorbell rings
Tie Shou ordered the food and left directly, without even looking at us, the disappointment on Lao Jiu's face couldn't be resolved, I coughed: "Lao Jiu, don't show yourself, let Seventh Sister see it, just let us go." Knowing that he is my weakness, how can I remain invincible?"

"Isn't she here?" Lao Jiu said disapprovingly: "If she was here, she would get angry when she saw her unreasonable and unforgiving attitude, and I couldn't soften it."

Lao Jiu was honest in front of me, and he made no secret of his affection for Seventh Sister. Just when the food and wine were served, it was a pity that there were so many people, and only a cold dish was served. Lao Jiu couldn't wait to open the wine and poured himself a glass. I also poured myself a cup of tea, Lao Jiu drank half a cup directly, and said vaguely: "That girl played us around since she was a child, she has too many eyes."

Too bad, Lao Jiu has to recount the past when he drinks. Fortunately, there is nothing important today, and it is good to listen to him talk about the past. The hot dishes are served, and Lao Jiu is more excited about drinking. He is full and said: "Xu Qiqi was the latest to be brought back by Master. She was only twelve or thirteen years old when she came here. I'm a good boy. Those eyes are like those of a deer. She has two braids. Alas, she looks so beautiful. Ah, it’s really watery, Lin Tianyi, I still remember her appearance at that time, when she stood there, she was wearing a really good shirt, a pair of black cloth pants, and a pair of gray cloth shoes with holes worn out, but she was so pretty?”

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." I took a sip of tea: "Lao Jiu, how old were you then?"

"Me, I look like I'm sixteen or seventeen." Lao Jiu giggled: "Sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, so many years have passed, and the scene of that year seems to have just happened. Qin Baichuan was 20 years old at the time, Taking the two of us around, there were really not so many things before, we are like a family, the master is our father, he said more than once, I am like him, especially in temperament."

From Lao Jiu's words, I heard some clues, and asked: "Especially the temperament is similar, does the appearance also look similar?"

Lao Jiu acted as if he didn't hear it, and continued to tell me about the past, how naughty Xu Qiqi went to the valley alone to catch poisonous snakes, and how Qin Baichuan and him tried their best to find Xu Qiqi back , I was almost bitten by a snake. Once people are immersed in the past, they can't extricate themselves. Fortunately, Lao Jiu is immersed in good memories. Thinking of my own unbearable memories, I groaned and continued to eat.

The number of people in the restaurant gradually decreased, and the two of us became the last ones to leave. Lao Jiu was already drunk, his body was like a puddle of mud, and he couldn't get up no matter how much he helped him, he wrapped his hands around my neck: "Step by step , Bu, what's your name? Ah, what's your name?"

This old guy is really drunk and immoral. The smell of alcohol sprayed directly on my face, and the saliva almost covered my face. I ignored the crazy talk of the old nine. I dragged him into the car and threw him behind On the seat, he almost fell under the seat, and he was about to fall. He straightened his body and returned to the seat. Even when he was drunk, he still maintained a body instinct. It is worthy of being on the line of life and death for many years Rolling people.

Lao Jiu never vomited, and what I was most worried about did not happen. When I threw him on the bed, he suddenly grabbed my arm, his eyes were red: "Master, I didn't kill you, why, why did I write down My name, why, Ye Jiu is really wronged... Really wronged..."

I patted Lao Jiu's back lightly, and whispered: "It's all right, go to sleep, everything will pass after you sleep."

These words were like a placebo, Lao Jiu finally turned over and fell into a deep sleep, I covered him with a quilt, and then walked out of the room, the moment the door was closed, Lao Jiu muttered again, even Listen carefully, I believe it is the same thing, this big stone that is pressing on my heart is not so easy to move away.

There was no Mengluo in the house, and there was still some emptiness. Standing in front of Grandpa's spirit card, I offered incense for him: "Grandpa, Mengluo and I have the same fate. Why is this happening? Your old man is so clever that even It has been calculated in advance that the son will suffer a catastrophe, and the leader Mengluo saved his father, so what about the future of Mengluo and me, have you calculated it?"

Amidst the aroma, Grandpa's kind face became even more unpredictable. I sighed: "Don't worry, old man, I, Lin Tianyi, will not run away from my life again."

I paid my respects to Grandpa Baigan, and went to bed right away. The next morning, I was woken up by the aroma of the breakfast bought by Lao Jiu. He sobered up quickly. Seeing me rubbing my eyes, Lao Jiu said, "Brush your teeth quickly." Wash your face and eat breakfast, don't you still have to go to Master Xu this afternoon?"

"Monro is coming back today, wait for this kid, and then go together." I said.

"Alright, he has to come back in the morning." Lao Jiu said while eating.

After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I saw Lao Jiu as usual, with a sophisticated look, and then thought about his sad man appearance last night, compared the two, I immediately burst out laughing, Lao Jiu glared at me: "What are you laughing at? I remember what happened last night clearly, it’s not a big deal, I’m not allowed to mention it again, and I’ll drink less alcohol in the future.”

"You don't need to drink less. If I'm by your side, you can drink as much as you want. I won't lose you." I said with a smirk.

"Damn Ge, Lin Tianyi, if you want to do this again, watch how I will cut you!" Lao Jiu finally got angry, and the fried dough sticks were thrown on the table, splashing high, and he was about to rush towards me when the doorbell rang, and I hurriedly Walking over, he said as he walked, "It's probably that boy Mengluo is back."

The door opened, but there was no one outside. I was startled, and my heart immediately rose to my throat. At this moment, Meng Luo's little head tilted: "Ha!"

I slapped him on the forehead with a "slap", Mengluo was dumbfounded, I suppressed the smile in my heart, pretending to be surprised: "Oh, why is it you, Mengluo, why did you come back so early? "

Meng Luo touched his forehead and said, "It's getting late, it's already nine o'clock, and you're too aggressive, that..."

He sniffled and looked into the living room: "Are you having breakfast?"

Meng Luo's forehead was still red, so he didn't care about the pain, and rushed over without washing his hands, just picked up a fried dough stick and gnawed it, Lao Jiu gave him a sideways look: "The old Taoist's birthday is over, your uncle Woolen cloth?"

"Uncle Yuxuan is still staying in the Taoist temple." Meng Luo said: "In fact, the insidiousness of the ghost handprint has not been completely eliminated. He will stay there and rest for a while to force out the remaining poison."

"So that's how it is, that thing is so powerful." Lao Jiu's complexion became serious.

"Almost killed my uncle, of course it's amazing." Meng Luo started to gobble it up and couldn't care less about answering.

I was suspicious: "Didn't the Taoist temple take care of your breakfast?"

Mengluo stopped talking, just buried his head in eating, Lao Jiu and I looked at each other - this kid has a ghost!

At this moment, the doorbell rang again, and I was about to turn around to open the door, when Meng Luo suddenly jumped up from his seat, blocked the door behind him, and looked into my eyes: "It can't be opened."

However, the sound of the doorbell became urgent, and the people outside seemed to be very anxious, so I pointed outside: "Who is it?"

"Anyway, it can't be opened." Monroe spoke as concisely as ever, his face was flushed, and he looked anxious to me: "Go back to have breakfast."

I shrugged: "I'm full."

The people outside finally stopped ringing the doorbell, and said to themselves in doubt: "Isn't it here?"

This is the voice of a young girl. Although it is only six words, it reveals an indescribable vitality. Finally, the girl turned and left, and the footsteps gradually faded away. Monro felt relieved and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "gone."

"Who is it?" Lao Jiu came up behind me at some point, and suddenly said something, which was frightening to death.

"People you don't know." Munro replied nonsense.

Don't look at this kid is young, but he can't be forced to say what he doesn't want to say. He doesn't want to say it. I coaxed Lao Jiu for a long time, but I didn't ask a word. I stayed at home peacefully all morning, and at noon After eating outside, I packed meals for Master Xu. Master Xu is a well-known workaholic. Once he starts working, he won't eat. So his stomach problem is very serious, and there are stomach medicines on the workbench at all times.

When we arrived, Master Xu had just dried the newly "made" box, and had just put it on a shelf with a white towel under it. As soon as Lao Jiu went in, he took a look from a distance, his face changed slightly, I understand In his mood, this box is exactly the same as the one we brought!
I put the lunch box in my hand into Master Xu's hand: "Master Xu must not have eaten, right?"

"Your boy is smart, just in time for my meal." Master Xu hurriedly washed his hands. He was so hungry that he sat down at the work table with a lunch box and started eating. After several mouthfuls, he said: "Look Well, let it dry for a while and then take it out, there will be no problem."

I saw the simple and simple shape of the huanghuali box, and when I got closer to smell it, the pungent smell was gone, replaced by a unique fragrance of huanghuali, I finally licked it with my tongue, the taste was slightly spicy, completely right !
Lao Jiu picked up the box and shook it, there was a rattling sound inside, and the broken jade I brought had already been put in!
Lao Jiu was immediately happy: "Haha, this is good, enough for those two people to work for a while."

Meng Luo didn't know the situation yet, and he didn't care. He just blinked and looked at the box. Only then did Master Xu discover the existence of Meng Luo: "Who is this kid?"

"The little guy who lives together." I said lightly.

I settled the bill for Master Xu, and there was a thick stack in the cowhide bag. Master Xu took it, squeezed it with his hand, and smiled with satisfaction: "It's your first visit to me, so I feel embarrassed."
