The young man leaned forward, looked at Mrs. Wu and replied sheepishly: "Aunt, I just had a fight with someone...I'll go home later."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wu couldn't help but giggle: "Are you afraid that your father will see you like this and beat you up again?"
After finishing cooking the noodles, he smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. After finishing the noodles, you can go to the back and wash yourself before going home."
The young man nodded and smiled: "Thank you."
"Are you Li Bai?"
The middle-aged man looked at the young man and asked, "Aren't you from Broken Leaf City in the Western Region?"
When the young man heard that the man in front of him actually knew where he was from, he couldn't help but asked vigilantly: "How did you know that I came from Broken Leaf City?"
"I guessed it, do you believe it?"
The middle-aged man smiled: "Tell me, how did you come to this place?"
The young man named Li Bai in front of him thought for a while and replied: "Dad thought it was too windy and sandy and it was difficult to make money, so he said this is my hometown..."
Mrs. Wu was even more curious. Until now, she didn't know that Li Bai's family originally moved back from the Western Regions.
Compared with Li Bai's family, she was more curious about how the man in front of her knew Li Bai's origin.
"The wind and sand are too strong? That's true."
The middle-aged man laughed as if he was self-deprecating and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I once went to Suiye City and lived there for a long time."
Li Bai's lips moved slightly, and then he shook his head: "What's so interesting about that place with long yellow sand?"
"That's because you've seen the desert sand."
The middle-aged man just smiled, turned to Mrs. Wu who was cooking noodles and said, "Ask them, I'm afraid they have never seen such wind and sand in their lives."
"I said Li Bai, what kind of wind and sand is it?"
Wu looked at the two people and smiled: "I have lived here for half my life, and I have only seen the wind and sand hitting my face at the north gate in summer, which makes it very uncomfortable."
When Li Bai heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "Aunt, the wind and sand at the north gate are not called wind and sand. If there is wind and sand in the desert, even cattle, sheep and people will be swept away."
When Mrs. Wu heard this, she was so shocked that she almost dropped the bowl in her hand. She shook her head and said, "How can there be such a terrifying thing in this world?"
Li Bai said again: "That's because you haven't seen it before."
Mrs. Wu took two bowls of noodles from the pot, put a few pieces of soy beef in them, poured two ladles of soup, and put a fried egg on top.
He brought it over and put it on the table, and smiled: "Eat the noodles first, while they are still hot."
Li Bai wiped the blood on his face with his sleeve, picked up the bowl in front of him, and ate one bite at a time.
Li Xiuyuan, who had been searching for him for thousands of miles and traveled around the mountains and rivers, did not expect that the person he wanted to see had returned to his hometown. He couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Passing by on the street, he saw a group of children fighting with this young man. From the young man's wild eyes, he felt a sense of unyieldingness.
So I wanted to take this young man to eat a bowl of noodles, and then I thought about whether to teach him two sword moves, but I couldn't get close to him.
Unexpectedly, it was Li Bai who was not born back then and was now a young man.
However, the old Taoist priest did not entrust his dream to Li Bai. He was Xiao Hei from above the nine heavens.
He didn't tell Li Xiuyuan that the person sitting in front of him was the little black horse that disappeared under the snow-capped mountains.
The god of destiny is so magical.
Xiao Hei, who had learned a lot of knowledge, was reincarnated into a noble family and became a handsome young man.
Li Xiuyuan in front of him wanted to have some interactions with Li Bai, but he didn't know that this guy turned out to be that idiot Xiao Hei.
All of this proves the fact that only casual encounters are the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Li Bai ate very quickly. He downed a large bowl of beef noodles in just a few mouthfuls, and also destroyed two fried eggs.
Mrs. Wu asked him to go into the room to wash up, and after wiping the blood on his face, he began to lecture him distressedly: "You can't win, but you still fight with them all day long.
help children
hit what? "
Li Bai chuckled: "Zhu'er and the others called me a barbarian. I will definitely have a fight with them."
Wu couldn't help but giggle when he heard this: "You don't look like a barbarian. You are not as strong as a pig. Don't fight again in the future."
Li Bai didn't say anything, looked at Li Xiuyuan in front of him and said, "Sir, I'm going home."
"Do you want to learn swordsmanship?" After thinking about it, Li Xiuyuan suddenly asked, not afraid of frightening the Wu family in front of him.
Mrs. Wu turned off the fire in the stove and looked at the middle-aged man in front of her carefully, because she felt that where did the monks come from in the county? Why should the man in front of her teach Li Bai?
"No! I just want to defeat Zhuer and the others!"
Li Bai said simply: "Sir, can you teach me how to fight? I can become your teacher and your student."
Mrs. Wu nodded, childishly, now there are a bunch of little kids in the city who want to be the king of the mountain, and no one will accept it.
She was not surprised at all when Li Bai said such words.
Just as he expected Li Bai to answer like this, Li Xiuyuan did not annoy him, but stretched out his hand to catch a petal blowing in the wind.
He smiled and said, "Look, what is this."
Looking over his shoulder, Li Bai shook his head: "Isn't this just a petal? What's there to see? It's spring, and there are flowers everywhere on the street. .”
Li Xiuyuan nodded, condensing a water-like power in his hand, and the petals danced happily up and down between his fingers, just like the butterflies playing among the flowers.
Li Bai shook his head: "Is this a trick? People come to play tricks in the city from time to time."
Li Xiuyuan sighed, and flicked the flower-holding hand outwards. A "Whoosh!" sound was heard, and the petals between his fingers instantly turned into a sword energy and slashed out of the store.
After a while, there was a "click!" sound from the street, which scared even Mrs. Wu and screamed: "Li Bai, go outside and see, what happened?"
Li Bai nodded, shouted "Huh!" and rushed out of the store.
When he came back, he was holding a not very thick peach branch in his hand, with frightened peach blossoms trembling gently on it.
It's like I'm complaining about Li Xiuyuan in front of me, it's so rude, I'm still open!
After a brief flash like day, it fell into dusk again, and the lights became dimmer.
However, Li Bai looked at the smooth cut on the peach branch and was speechless. He thought to himself that even if he took a hatchet, he couldn't do this?
Even Mrs. Wu has never seen such a trick in all her years of life, and she was speechless.
Li Bai, who could fight and bleed without blinking, was stunned and speechless.
After drinking the noodle soup in the bowl, Li Xiuyuan said softly: "There are more interesting things in this world than fighting and becoming the king of children. Do you want to learn it?"
"Sir, is he a god?" Wu said blankly.
In her opinion, maybe only a god can use a soft and boneless petal to cut off a peach branch on the street with a wave of his hand, right?
Li Bai couldn't accept such a thing for a while, and just looked at Li Xiuyuan in front of him blankly.
Li Xiuyuan smiled: "Think about it, do you want to learn swordsmanship from me?"
Li Bai felt a burst of surprise in his heart, thinking that he finally found a master and could practice sword practice.
But then there was a hint of vigilance. In order for him to practice swordsmanship, the guy in front of him didn't have to go through such a big detour, right?
Wu has never seen such a weird thing in half his life.
I have always heard fairy tales from storytellers, but I never expected to meet a fairy in my own shop. Fortunately, Mrs. Wu is a very nervous woman.
Li Xiuyuan's actions did not make her fearful. Instead, she wondered if the god would be rich and whether she would give him money for beef noodles.
Should she charge for two bowls of noodles?
Li Xiuyuan figured out what Li Bai was thinking and looked at him with a smile: "I
I won’t accept any more disciples. I’m in the north.
I rented a shop at the door to sell wine..."
Time was passing, and Li Xiuyuan was about to leave, so he said lightly: "Come to me again when you have figured it out."
At this point, he won't say much more. Whether there is fate or not depends on the young man in front of him.
"Besides, I'm just a wine seller, not a god."
Li Xiuyuan put down a few coins, walked out of the door, and disappeared into the night, and said lightly.
It floated into the ears of Mr. Wu, who was still in a daze, and also into the ears of Li Bai, who was still confused.
Li Bai did not answer immediately because he was wondering if this guy would kidnap him and sell him as a piglet.
"You idiot!"
Mrs. Wu cursed: "Li Bai, if you don't want to go, let our dog learn from that gentleman. What do you think?"
Li Bai murmured, of course he wanted to.
Flying flowers and falling leaves, chopping peach branches, this kind of power beyond ordinary people, he dreamed of possessing it.
Mrs. Wu put away the two noodle bowls on the table, touched Li Bai's head and smiled: "What are you afraid of? He sells wine at the north gate, just a bowl of water away from me."
Frowning, Li Bai finally made a decision and said, "Should I go take a look tomorrow? I want to ask my mother before I talk."
He doesn't believe in pie-in-the-sky things. He wants to ask his mother.
"You are a pig. This is something you can't even ask for. If you ask your mother, she will definitely not agree. Go first and become that gentleman's apprentice and see what he can teach you."
Mrs. Wu sighed: "You can get out now, I have to close the door and go cook."
Li Bai stood up and wiped his mouth stained with noodle soup with his sleeve, and said, "Auntie, don't tell anyone about this yet."
The young man was a little excited and a little nervous. In the blink of an eye, he could learn to sword.
Even so, he didn't want to give up this opportunity to others. At worst, he should sleep first and make a decision tomorrow.
Wu laughed when he heard this: "I don't think that gentleman will accept anyone else. Maybe he just likes you and wants to teach you a few tricks, but he doesn't want to accept you as his disciple."
Li Bai was stunned and finally calmed down.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Whatever, just burn the loach and eat one when it's cooked. I'll go to the north gate to have a look tomorrow."
Waving his hand, Li Bai walked out of the door and disappeared into the vast night.
Mrs. Wu put away the coins on the table and thought for a moment, what are these things, how could she let herself encounter them, maybe it was not a dream, right?
It was only then that she remembered that her son had not come home. She must have been involved in the fight today.
…
After going around in a circle, just when Li Xiuyuan was disappointed, he didn't expect to meet Li Bai here.
What's interesting is that he just rented a shop at the north gate today. He wants to stay here for half a year, brew some black bean wine to sell, and see the scenery here.
I never thought that I would encounter this little guy while watching a group of urchins fighting on the street.
The night passed and I got up early to tidy up the shop.
The wine vat I just bought was delivered to me, along with the black beans I bought yesterday and some other brewing supplies.
The guys hired from the street built two stoves and buried two large pots in the back, thinking they could start making wine tomorrow.
In his opinion, even if Li Bai is a stubborn stone, as long as he is willing to come here, he can find a way to turn him into a swordsman like Wang Yi.
I've been busy all morning and it's not yet noon.
While they were boiling water and making tea, Li Bai jumped in, looked at him and said, "I'll learn swordsmanship from you!"
Then he ironed two cups, and Li Xiuyuan said, "What's the rush? Before you learn the sword, I'll teach you how to make tea."
Li Bai was shocked and suddenly raised his head and asked, "What does learning swordsmanship have to do with making tea? I will never open a tea shop in the future."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and replied: "Before learning the sword, you must first cultivate your mind."
