Anyone who really wants to get drunk will always find a way to get themselves drunk quickly. Li Xunhuan soon became drunk and passed out.
When he woke up again, it was already noon the next day.
Li Xunhuan found that the surrounding area was very familiar. It was a room in the backyard of the Sun family's old store. He had gotten drunk here many times and woke up in this house the next day, and he was as familiar with this place as his home.
Li Xunhuan left the room and saw Sun Xiaohong admiring flowers in the courtyard.
When she heard the noise, she immediately turned around and saw it was Li Xunhuan, with a big smile on her face.
Sun Xiaohong said: "You're up, do you want to eat something?"
Li Xunhuan said: "Thank you, but no need. Today is quite busy, I still have things to do."
Sun Xiaohong said disappointedly: "Okay."
But he immediately regained his strength, widened his eyes and said: "No matter what you want to do, before leaving the city today, you must come here. This is a major matter that affects your victory or defeat, life and death, you must come!"
Hearing what the girl said so convincingly, Li Xunhuan smiled and agreed.
The girl's thoughts are not difficult to guess, but...
He didn't know if there would be a tomorrow, so he would grant her wish for the time being.
Li Xunhuan walked towards Xingyun Village. Some things he didn't want to face, but he still had to muster the courage to face them.
No matter what, he should go see her once, because this might be the last time.
When Li Xunhuan entered Xingyun Village now, it was just like going home. Naturally, there was no one to stop him and no one needed to guide him. He came all the way to the main hall and found that Lin Shiyin was alone in the hall, seemingly waiting for him.
"Sister-in-law." Li Xunhuan still used this title, unchanged.
Lin Shiyin asked: "I heard that someone from the Jianghu came yesterday."
Li Xunhuan said: "Yes, but don't worry, I will handle these matters and won't let them disturb Xingyun Village again."
When Lin Shiyin heard what he said, she seemed angry and said, "How do you deal with it? Are you going to fight them desperately?"
Li Xunhuan didn't answer. This is the most commonly used dispute resolution method among people in the martial arts world.
Lin Shiyin said with a tearful tone: "Why can't you think about it for me... before you make a decision? If you have something to do with you, what will happen to me, Xiaoyun and me, our orphans and widowed mother?"
Li Xunhuan's face was filled with pain.
Yes, he was worried too. However, he was really not sure about this battle.
But Lin Shiyin continued: "I heard that this martial arts alliance just wants a martial arts secret book from Xingyun Village, or for you to join them.
I know you don't want to join the Martial Alliance and work for them.
I don't agree either, really.
After all, once you join the Martial Alliance, there will naturally be more fighting and killing in the future.
In that case..."
Having said this, Lin Shiyin took a box from the side, opened it, and took out a thread-bound book from inside. Said: "This is the magical secret book they are looking for, please give it to them."
Li Xunhuan looked at the four characters "Lianhua Baojian" on the cover and finally confirmed this fact.
Seeing that he was still silent, Lin Shiyin continued: "Are you wondering what this secret book is about? Why is there a magic secret book in Xingyun Village that you don't know about? Actually..."
"Stop talking, I already know everything." Li Xunhuan suddenly interrupted Lin Shiyin's next words.
"You know. How did you know? How could you possibly know!" Lin Shiyin said in surprise.
"Yes, I understand." Li Xunhuan nodded.
Lin Shiyin sighed and even lowered her voice a little, saying: "So you know it, that's fine. Anyway, I will give this to you now. You can give it to the people in the Martial Alliance. Don't fight, promise me." OK?"
Lin Shiyin's gentle words contained pleading. Li Xunhuan had never heard her speak to him so tenderly in the past ten years.
Li Xunhuan wanted to agree to her, but he just said the words verbally, but Lin Shiyin was disappointed. He could only barely utter two words: "No."
"Why?" Lin Shiyin asked extremely disappointed.
Li Xunhuan did not explain, but said: "If I don't come back tomorrow, you can give them this secret book."
This was the last safety guarantee he left for her. With this Lianhua Treasure Mirror, Zhao Mingyuan would not embarrass her even if she could not come back.
Lin Shiyin said: "You're still angry with me, aren't you? You're angry about why I kept it from you, aren't you?"
Li Xunhuan turned away.
Lin Shiyin continued: "But no matter how angry you are with me, you can't use your own life to vent your anger."
Unexpectedly, Li Xunhuan not only didn't answer, but turned around to leave, but was grabbed by Lin Shiyin's sleeve.
Li Xunhuan looked back and saw Lin Shiyin begging with tears in her eyes: "Don't leave, okay?
We don’t want this book anymore, just give it to them if they want it.
How about we find a remote place to be anonymous and raise Xiaoyun together?
I will listen to you from now on.
Just listen to me this time, okay? cousin! "
cousin!
These two words were once very familiar to Li Xunhuan, but hearing them again made Li Xunhuan fall into a dream.
A title he hadn't heard for more than ten years was heard again today. Li Xunhuan quickly turned his head, fearing that if he looked back one more time, he would not be able to help but agree.
But he regained his strength and pulled away without saying another word.
Because he was afraid that what he said would be different from what he thought.
I just thought in my heart: Cousin, don’t worry. If I can come back tomorrow, I will agree to whatever you say from now on.
In the main hall, only Lin Shiyin was left looking at the retreating figure, then fell to the ground and cried loudly.
She always thought that she understood Li Xunhuan best, but it turned out that she never understood him.
Lin Shiyin once thought that she was the most important in his heart.
It's a pity that Li Xunhuan would give her up to others out of friendship, but today he abandoned him again for something else.
Lin Shiyin knew that he didn't hate herself, let alone punish herself.
Because Li Xunhuan was punishing himself, and it was himself who was being sacrificed.
He is such a person who can be described as great.
Just becoming his lover may not lead to happiness.
Because, his love not only gave him beauty, but also gave him greater things.
Lin Shiyin didn't know how long she had been crying alone in this hall. Suddenly, another person walked in.
This is Lin Xianer.
Seeing Lin Shiyin lying on the ground, Lin Xianer hurriedly helped her to a chair beside her. Looking at the tears on her face, Lin Xianer asked gently: "Where is Li Xunhuan, he is gone?"
Lin Shiyin was dumb and let Lin Xianer do what she did, as if she didn't hear anything.
Lin Xianer suddenly saw the wooden box on the table. The four words "Lianhua Baojian" on the cover of the thread-bound book in the box were clearly visible.
It turns out there is a secret. Lin Xianer understood that this should be the magic secret book that Zhao Mingyuan wanted.
Seeing this, Lin Xianer suddenly said: "Maybe there is a way to save his life."
After hearing these words, Lin Shiyin seemed to suddenly come to life and looked at Lin Xian'er.
Just listen to Lin Xianer continue to say: "The time they agreed on was in the evening, and it is still early now. We just need to arrive at the place they agreed on in advance and hand over this martial arts secret book to Zhao Mingyuan. I must have obtained this important treasure, and he will not No more trouble for Li Xunhuan."
"Yes." Lin Shiyin was overjoyed. As long as she presented this secret book to Zhao Mingyuan, she could cancel the fight.
Make a fight, make a fight, as long as one party doesn't want to take action, will Li Xunhuan still find it on his own?
Maybe there are other reasons for the two to fight, but even if there is a glimmer of hope, Lin Shiyin will try her best at all costs.
Once the idea was decided, Lin Shiyin immediately took action.
Lin Shiyin held the wooden box and asked the housekeeper to prepare the car and prepare to go out.
Lin Xianer expressed her hope to accompany him, and maybe she could be of some help.
In fact, she had already come up with a good idea and was of great help. Lin Shiyin naturally would not refuse her kindness.
When they were leaving, even Long Xiaoyun came over and said that he wanted to be with everyone, even if he died, he would die together.
As soon as these words came out, Lin Shiyin hugged her son and cried. She really didn't know what to say to Long Xiaoyun.
Lin Xianer advised from the side: "In that case, let's take Xiaoyun with us. If he is left here alone, it may be more dangerous. What if someone breaks into Xingyun again for the magic secret book? Zhuang, that’s not good.”
Lin Shiyin also thought it made sense and agreed.
The three of them took a carriage and left the city.
At the Sun Family Restaurant behind Xingyun Village, Li Xunhuan came here again.
Although Li Xunhuan was full of melancholy now, he didn't even dare to get drunk. Because he knew that there were more important things waiting for him to attend the appointment.
As soon as Li Xunhuan arrived here, he was pulled to the backyard by Sun Xiaohong.
Sun Xiaohong said with complaint in her tone: "I thought you wouldn't come. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Li Xunhuan looked at the sun and said, "Isn't it just noon? Isn't it still early?"
Sun Xiaohong said: "Forget it, you don't understand even after I tell you. You come in first."
Li Xunhuan followed him to the small room at the back and found that several side dishes had been placed on the table in the room, and a pot of good wine was warming on the stove.
Li Xunhuan asked: "Are you inviting me to drink?"
Sun Xiaohong said: "I know you are not in the mood to eat or drink today. However, what you are going to do cannot be done without strength. Here are some small dishes I have cooked by myself. Come and try how they taste. Wait until you are full. After you’ve had your fill, go do what you want to do.”
Li Xunhuan smiled. This was indeed unexpected, but it was also a gift that was hard to refuse.
Li Xunhuan said: "If that's the case, then I feel ashamed to accept it."
Li Xunhuan took a bite of the dish, tasted it, and said, "Yes, it's good. It's delicious. This is the best meal I've had in the past ten years."
This wasn't just perfunctory on his part, but he felt the intention behind it.
Hearing Li Xunhuan's praise, the smile on Sun Xiaohong's face became brighter. She quickly filled Li Xunhuan's warm wine and said, "How about you try this wine again?"
Li Xunhuan took a sip and said, "Nerrong, which has been stored for eighteen years, is really good."
"As long as you're satisfied."
But I heard Sun Xiaohong on the other side lowered her head and continued: "I am eighteen years old this year."
The voice was undetectable, but it could never be hidden from Li Xunhuan's ears.
The so-called daughter's red means that when a daughter is born, a jar of wine is brewed and buried in the ground, and then it is taken out when the daughter gets married, as a dowry gift and as wine for wedding banquets.
Sun Xiaohong's words, could it be that this is the jar of daughter red that was buried when she was born.
With such deep friendship, Li Xunhuan couldn't help but feel that his heart was heavy, but he couldn't drink the glass of wine in his hand.
Li Xunhuan, Li Xunhuan, you are really harmful to others!
