piecing together the soul

Chapter 72

"Did you drink too much?" I still don't believe it. Even if Mr. Xu knows life and death well, it is absolutely impossible to bring the dead back to life, especially those who have been dead for so long.

But brother Xiu seems to believe it. I don't know if I drank too much, but I think his eyes are bright.

"Xiaohan, do you think this... is true?"

I hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Xiu, are you confused? He drank, and you drank too?"

"No." Brother Xiu didn't listen to me, "Xiaohan must have found a solution, but he won't say it if he doesn't drink."

Master Xu smiled: "Master Guo, you see you have known me for many years, and Xiuying hasn't known me yet."

"I have known you for so many years, and you have never said anything about ghosts and gods." I said, "Besides, I don't believe that the dead can come back to life."

Master Xu smiled again: "Of course ordinary people can't do it. But, I should have told you that my ancestors were taught by masters."

Brother Xiu said: "Xiaohan, you told me that Qingluan wasn't there at the time."

Master Xu said again: "What's not there? She's listening outside the door. "

"Why are you talking about this?" The subconscious reaction made me realize that I was actually awake.Did Master Xu really drink too much?So old sesame seeds and rotten millet still need to be mentioned?Brother Xiu didn't know at first, if he knew that I listened to the corner and hid it from him, would he think that I... I, why should I worry about what he thinks of me?

Unexpectedly, Brother Xiu also looked very nervous: "I, Xiao Han and I have no intention of hiding it from you."

"Master Guo, why are you so nervous?" Master Xu noticed my anomaly, "It's normal for Xiuying to be nervous. Do you like you? You?"

"Your uncle!" I couldn't help cursing, didn't you want to snatch Brother Xiu from me?Are you trying to grab it?If you want to grab it, shouldn't you do everything possible to prove that I have no interest in Brother Xiu?But these words are not easy to say, because if you say it, it is considered an admission.Thinking of this, I drank the remaining half of the can in one gulp.

At this time, my left arm was still hooked around Master Xu's neck, and I leaned sideways on him.Maybe everyone will feel this way. When I am drunk, my body becomes weak. When I get a belch, I feel that my feet are weak, and my whole body suddenly collapses.

"It smells terrible. If I knew it, I would have gone to 711 to buy some pre-mixed wine." Master Xu began to dislike me, but he still supported me, "Don't you drink it? Let's go and brush your teeth."

I smiled while hooking the corners of my mouth, and went to the bathroom with his support.To be honest, this is what a friend should do. No matter how they run on you at ordinary times, they will definitely take care of you when you need care.

I was quite drunk physically, but my mind was still very clear, pretending to be drunk was just a means to break the embarrassment just now.It's as if Mr. Xu also used the method of pretending to be drunk to express his thoughts that he had never dared to say - to revive Brother Xiu.If Brother Xiu really came back to life, would I choose him?
Pretending to be bleary-eyed, I raised my eyelids to look at brother Xiu, who has been following Master Xu and me with a concerned expression.I really couldn't resist the concern for this kind of thick eyebrows and big eyes. I didn't dare to look any more, so I turned my head to face the mirror and brushed my teeth seriously.Brother Xiu can't be seen in the mirror, but he should be able to see me in the mirror, it's really unfair.

Brother Xiu looked at Master Xu taking care of me washing up, and said, "Xiaohan, so you're not drunk. On the contrary, Qingluan is drunk."

"Isn't this normal?" Master Xu said, "The more drunk a person is, the more he has to pretend to be sober, and the more sober a person is, the more he has to pretend to be drunk. She won't pretend until she is really drunk."

Although my mouth was full of foam, I still lost no time to say: "Then how do you know, I'm not pretending to be drunk?" After I finished speaking, I swallowed a mouthful of toothpaste, anyway, I had swallowed it a few hours ago, and I couldn't do anything Sample.You have to do a full set of acting, I am a scheming girl, what can you do to me?

"You can't pretend to be so weak." Master Xu wrapped his arms around my waist with his right hand, and pulled my arm around his neck with his left hand, supporting me as if he wanted to lift me up, "However, you are always like this. Are you not telling the truth?"

"What truth?" I asked, waving my toothbrush.

Maybe he really believed me, so he didn't ask me again, but just told me to brush my teeth well.I also continued to pretend to be drunk, and clamored to pee after brushing my teeth, so Master Xu and Brother Xiu had to go out.I sat on the toilet and calmed down for a while, my head was indeed dizzy, but I still knew what to say and what not to say.

Master Xu and Brother Xiu were outside, they waited for me to unsteadily come out, helped me to my room and lay down.Then I heard Master Xu's footsteps going out and coming back again, saying: "Xiuying, look at her, I put the water here, wait for her to get up and tell her to drink."

Sure enough, Master Xu is not drunk, he still remembers that he will get thirsty after drinking and pour water for me.Xiuying agreed, and Master Xu suddenly said, "Do you understand what I just said?"

"what?"

Hearing my snoring loudly, Master Xu also relaxed his vigilance, and immediately said: "The more drunk you are, the more you have to pretend to be sober. You won't pretend until she is really drunk."

"Understand what?"

Master Xu smiled wryly: "Stupid! She is looking for various reasons to reject you now. It is precisely because she likes you a little that she pretends to be sober. She refuses you because she is not drunk enough!"
