"Come, try your second brother's cooking. It's been so many years. I haven't cooked for a while, so I'm a little rusty. I don't know if it's still to your taste." Dugu Yi raised his hand and used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of braised carp for Uncle Liu. .
Uncle Liu hurriedly held the bowl with both hands and greeted him, smiling: "No matter how inferior my second brother's skills are, they are still more delicious than the wine and food in Zuixianlou."
Several people chatted about the past back and forth, with fewer cups and plates and more wine glasses.
At one moment, he was talking about how heroic he was when the three of them first met, when they were surrounded by several gangs of robbers. At another time, he was talking about the regret that the girl Lame Xu liked did not like him. At the other time, he was discussing where Dugu Yi had defeated several corrupt officials. The dog's head on the neck...
"Second brother, little fisherman, it's good that you are all well. It's just that my legs and feet are inconvenient, so I can't travel around with you anymore. Alas..." Lame old Xu had a look of regret on his face, raised his wine glass and took a heavy sip.
Uncle Liu patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are still thinking about joining the world at this age. I think life in Qingning, a small town, is pretty good."
Dugu Yi asked, looked at Uncle Liu, and said with a smile: "Little Yuzi, have you been to the seventh floor in these years?"
Uncle Liu was old enough to be Xiao Yu's grandfather, but in Dugu Yi's eyes he was just a brat.
Uncle Liu nodded and replied: "Second brother still has everything in the world on his mind."
Dugu Yi waved his hand and replied: "Don't give me a high hat. It's just that the reputation of Seven Floors has become bigger in recent years. I often hear people in the world say that Seven Floors is the second best, and it is called the 'Yu' font killer." , I think I am so capable that I can be ranked second on the seventh floor. The title is "fisher". Who else can I be besides a little fisherman!"
Uncle Liu nodded.
Then I heard Dugu Yi continue: "Little Yuzi, I heard that there are a lot of rewards for the tasks on the seventh floor. You, the second one on the seventh floor, have a lot of money, right?"
Uncle Liu nodded again and said casually: "I have all the banknotes at home. I didn't bring much with me this time, just tens of thousands of taels. No, I'm worried that Lao Xu will be hungry, so I'll send him some on the way." Uncle Liu After saying that, he took out a stack of banknotes from his arms, all with denominations of about one hundred taels, "I brought you some more banknotes this time!"
Crippled old Xu frowned and said: "No, please don't give me another ten thousand tael banknote to the old lame man. Didn't I tell you last year that you gave me a ten thousand tael banknote that time?" The banknote, old cripple, I traveled more than 800 miles to the largest commercial bank in Shangyang City to exchange the silver. It was more than 800 miles away. The old cripple had money and couldn't spend it, so he just handed over a note worth ten thousand taels. I passed the cashier's check, either because I knew the goods and didn't have the money to find them, or because people thought I was a liar, I couldn't even buy a horse for the eight hundred miles, so I limped along selling songs and begging for food. Don’t mention how miserable it is to be full and hungry. If you give me such a big sum this time, just take it back, I don’t want it anymore!”
Uncle Liu laughed and replied: "Look, this is a step!"
Lame old Xu looked at the banknote that was worth one hundred taels, and then smiled and said: "This is about the same, but I don't want your money. It took more than three years to use the 10,000 taels last time." It's about a thousand taels. Now that you're rich, don't use money as money. Ten thousand taels of silver is money that many people can't save in a lifetime. Keep what you brought this time, and what you gave me before I’m afraid I won’t be able to spend it all until I die.”
Uncle Liu pushed it over and muttered: "Don't be polite to me. I still have a deposit of more than 100,000 taels at home, so just keep it. We have no heirs, and we will just leave it to those who like it when we are about to die." Second brother, you are also traveling around the world, would you like to take some to spend?"
After Uncle Liu finished speaking, he was ready to touch the banknotes from his arms.
Lame old Xu nodded, took it back, and said with a smile: "Good boy, you have a lot of money, so I won't be polite."
Dugu Yi hurriedly waved his hand and replied: "I don't have to worry about food and clothing, but it is inconvenient to bring too much money. It will easily attract the attention of thieves. Don't give it to me, I don't need it." After saying that, Dugu Yi hurriedly raised his wine glass and said to He called Liu Bo and said, "Come, little fisherman, have a drink."
Uncle Liu was very obedient to Duguyi's words and knew his character, so he stopped giving the money notes and returned the gift with wine, and drank again.
Dugu Yi finished drinking the wine in the bowl and asked doubtfully: "By the way, little fisherman, do you know who Ji Ruge, the number one killer on the seventh floor, is? There has been mixed praise and praise in the world. Over the years, this name has been well known. Ah! I’ve been checking for a long time but haven’t found this person’s whereabouts, it’s really amazing!”
"Second brother, this Ji Ruge has a bad reputation in the world, and is also called a devil, but in the public eye he is an unknown hero in many places, not a bad person." Liu Bo smiled slightly, remembering Xiaoyu's original When I was fighting against myself, the sword technique used seemed to be quite similar to my second brother's Yun Jian Jue, especially the first few moves, which were almost exactly the same. I always felt that the kid had some inexplicable closeness to me. His The sword move originally came from the second brother's Yun Jian Jue.
His smile gradually condensed on his face, and finally he became a little confused. He glanced at Dugu Yi who was drinking calmly.
Uncle Liu then thought about it, could Xiao Yu be the direct disciple of his second brother, who even passed on the Cloud Sword Technique to him, and his second brother deliberately pretended not to know, because he wanted to test himself and make that guy Xiao Yu look bad? So he asked Dugu Yi with a smile of "I know": "Second brother, speaking of Ji Ruge, do you really not know who he is?"
Dugu Yi saw that Uncle Liu's smile seemed to suggest that he knew what he was asking. He waved his hands hurriedly and frowned: "I really don't know who he is? Apart from you and Lao Xu, how can I recognize Ji Ruge!"
When Uncle Liu saw Dugu Yi's objection, it didn't look like he was pretending, so he curiously asked: "Second brother, may I ask you a question?"
Dugu Yi saw that Uncle Liu had doubts on his face and looked strange, so he replied: "But there's no harm in asking!"
Uncle Liu asked: "Second brother, do you really not know who Ji Ruge is?"
"I don't know!" Dugu Yi replied seriously.
Uncle Liu asked again: "That's strange. Second brother, have you ever had any apprentices in your travels over the years?"
Dugu Yi shook his head again and muttered: "No, but your idea is good. I am getting old too. I have been planning to recruit apprentices in recent years, but I haven't found a suitable young man yet! He must be to my liking. That’s it!”
Uncle Liu asked again: "Have you ever given anyone any advice on swordsmanship?"
Dugu Yi looked at Uncle Liu's somewhat suspicious expression and shook his head again.
Uncle Liu frowned and stared at Dugu Yi, "Really not?"
"No!" Dugu Yi replied firmly.
Uncle Liu saw that Duguyi didn't look like he was just pretending, and he murmured to himself: "That's strange. Xiaoyu didn't learn his swordsmanship from you? Who did he learn it from? Was it really taught by his crappy master? No. Maybe!…"
Lame old Xu and Dugu Yi looked at Uncle Liu talking to himself with some curiosity.
Lame old Xu asked: "Little Yuzi, who is Xiaoyu? What swordsmanship did you learn from your second brother?"
Uncle Liu replied naturally: "Xiaoyu is Ji Ruge!"
