Xiaofengxiang Inn, next to the window on the second floor.
"Lord Shi..." Mr. Sun and others looked at each other in shock when they saw Liu Pingkuan walking towards him to pay homage. Soon they stood up and followed him.
Earlier, Mr. Sun and others did not attend the banquet at Qian You's house, nor did they have the time to attend Shi Chongrui's public lecture. Although they met Shi Chongrui and Duan Zhigan several times during the "three-day stay", they At that time, both of them were wearing casual clothes and did not see each other. Naturally, they did not know the specific identities of Shi Chongrui and Duan Zhigan.
Without further ado, let’s return to the field.
When he came closer, Liu Pingkuan couldn't help but smile, and bowed his hands to Shi Chongrui and worshiped: "Master Shi." As for Duan Zhigan next to him, he hadn't looked at him yet, most likely because of his negligence.
At this moment, Lao Sun and others also hurried over and worshiped behind Liu Pingkuan: "We have met Mr. Shi."
Shi Chongrui shook his head inexplicably, then smiled slightly, opened his eyes and said, "It doesn't matter."
Liu Pingkuan smiled happily, and then took the lead to remove the ceremony. Then he held hands with Shi Chongrui and said in respect, "I never thought that we would see each other again after we said goodbye a month ago. I wonder if Mr. Shi——" Speaking of this, Liu Pingkuan couldn't help but With suspicious eyes, he turned to Duan Zhigan on the side: "As for this..."
Boss Lao Sun and others were startled when they heard this, but before a few people could look at it, Liu Pingkuan was suddenly startled, and then he hurriedly knelt down, but he knelt down to Duan Zhigan in public: "It's Duan Zhigan General! Please forgive the common people for being dim-sighted, blind to the mountains, and careless..."
Wow!
This move immediately shocked the entire diners on the second floor.
For a moment, everyone turned their heads and looked sideways. They thought it would be inconvenient to disturb the two adults, so they did not go to talk, but they had already greeted each other. There are also people who don't know their identity, but they understand it after private communication, but they just haven't gone. There were a few latecomers who did not go over to meet them because they saw that the atmosphere there was not right. They just silently saluted the two of them from a distance, and then took them away after Shi Chongrui nodded in return.
Therefore, Liu Pingkuan was so grandstanding here... They couldn't help but look at each other with the people next to them, and many of them frowned. It would be inappropriate to go at this time, but it would be inappropriate not to go. So they stood up one after another, turned around and saluted Duan Zhigan and said, "We have met General Duan."
After bowing, everyone turned to Shi Chongrui and saluted: "Master Shi."
"General?" Lao Li and others suddenly woke up, turned around hurriedly, and paid homage to Duan Zhigan: "I have met General Duan!"
Shi Chongrui frowned slightly and stared at Liu Pingkuan, feeling disgust in his heart.
There are many people present, but no one kneels down in public like Liu Pingkuan, showing fear as a sign of respect! In particular, Liu Pingkuan did not bow his head in vain, but bowed his head in full. This move was tantamount to flattering the opponent. To be fair, Duan Zhigan is a middle-grade military general and does not enjoy official rights outside the military. Moreover, he is in a public place now. The two of them are still wearing casual clothes, and they have no official rights here. Even if you are an ordinary citizen, it is not easy to ask him. He knelt down, and he shouldn't have done so in public. If you really come from the heart, even if you kneel down or at most bow your hands, why should you be so claptrap? Add gossip to others.
In just this moment, Shi Chongrui saw this person deeply in his heart. Then he lowered his eyes and raised his hand to signal everyone to avoid courtesy: "You don't have to be so indifferent."
"Yes." Everyone responded one after another, and saw the diners at each table sitting back to their original seats one after another, and Lao Li and others standing beside them one after another. Liu Pingkuan was the only one who was frightened and turned his eyes around. Don't dare to get up.
Duan Zhigan held the wine glass motionless. He had been staring at the half glass of wine silently for a long time. If Liu Pingkuan hadn't suddenly walked over from there, the half glass of wine would have been replaced by a full glass.
"This..." Seeing Duan Zhigan's expressionless expression, Lao Li and others couldn't help lowering their faces and looked at each other hesitantly in the dark, but most of them just shook their heads slightly to signal the other party not to make rash remarks.
despair.
But Duan Zhigan suddenly put down his wine glass at this moment, put his hands on his legs, and said without blinking, "Say."
Although he spoke softly and did not look at Liu Pingkuan, Liu Pingkuan's eyes trembled and sweat dripped from his forehead: "Yes, yes, general..."
After answering this, Liu Pingkuan couldn't help but secretly wiped his forehead with his sleeve. He became more respectful, knelt down three points lower and said: "Three, two, two days from now, on the fifth day of the lunar month, I will prepare a birthday banquet at home. Also - please invite General Duan and Lord Shi to join the banquet." When he mentioned Shi Chongrui, he moved his head and nodded towards the other party, but Shi Chongrui didn't look at him, just looked at the tea cup in front of his table. .
After hearing what Liu Pingkuan said, the diners at several tables who had been listening attentively to what was going on over there all calmed down and opened their ears. Whether it was the hand reaching out to pick up the food or about to put it into the mouth, or the person pouring or drinking wine, they all stopped at that moment.
Duan Zhigan was silent for a moment, then he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Then he put down the wine glass, stood up and left: "Let's discuss it."
"Yes..." Liu Pingkuan hurriedly stepped back and turned to see him off. But Duan Zhigan just walked past him without leaving a single word.
Shi Chongrui gave Liu Pingkuan a slightly gloomy look, then took out a treasure from his sleeve pocket and placed it on the table, then stood up and followed Duan Zhigan to the stairs.
Liu Pingkuan hurriedly turned to say goodbye, but Shi Chongrui had no intention of paying any attention to him, leaving only a wisp of cold wind.
"Uh." Er Yin happened to come up with a large tray of wine and food, but he met Duan Zhigan face to face.
Duan Zhigan tilted his head slightly and nodded to Er Yin, then went upstairs coldly.
Er Yin was stunned, and because of something out of the corner of his eye, he looked sideways at Shi Chongrui, who was walking towards him. But Shi Chongrui's face was gloomy, and he had no intention to pay attention to anything outside his heart, let alone such innocuous things as nodding with half an acquaintance.
Ta, tap.
Eryin kept watching Shi Chongrui follow Duan Zhigan to the third floor before he regained consciousness for a moment, then looked at Liu Pingkuan who was still kneeling on the ground over there with confusion: "What do you mean?"
To be honest, Liu Pingkuan, who was kneeling towards the stairs, really seemed to be kneeling down to pay homage to the Second Bank. After all, there was only the Second Bank here at this time.
Everyone fell into silence, then shook their heads and stopped caring about anything else. Then they began to eat with chopsticks or pour wine absentmindedly.
"Damn it..." Liu Pingkuan couldn't help but gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart while he was clenching his fists in fear. His pretentious behavior and secret planning seemed to be all exposed in Duan Zhigan's word "say" , which frightened him to pieces and made him tremble.
…
Room No. 1, Tianzi, on the third floor of the inn.
squeak--
After Duan Zhigan walked into the room, he closed the door with his hands behind his back, but blocked Shi Chongrui who was following him.
Shi Chongrui hesitated to speak, so he could only close his eyes deeply and slowly shake his head.
Indoors, Duan Zhigan stopped at the door and did not move. He seemed to be looking down at his heart. The wind could not distract his eyes, and the ray of activation had ended.
And this ungenerous facade has also become a gap between the two, which is difficult to break artificially.
…
On that day, Liu Pingkuan got very drunk on the second floor of Xiaofengxiang. When he stopped drinking and dismissed the banquet, he waved away the support and good intentions of Mr. Sun and others with a wave of his hand.
Then, I saw him sneering and taking out a bunch of treasures from his sleeve pocket, then just threw it on the table and staggered downstairs.
Seeing that there were only ten Tongbao, Boss Lao Sun and the others couldn't help but look at each other. But before they could think about it, Erdan shouted from the other side of the stairs, asking people to leave: Why don't you follow? Still not leaving?
Several people were helpless, so they rushed together and helped Erdan out of here.
Liu Pingkuan staggered along the way, waving his big hands and shouting nonsense from time to time. Even with the help of several people, he could not control himself. This made Mr. Li and others very angry, but they were powerless.
At that time, the beggar was lying on his side at the stall, scorning the stinginess of passersby. When he heard someone yelling in the building opposite, he glanced over with a frown.
At that time, Liu Pingkuan was driven out while shouting.
Seeing this, Brother Beggar couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, then turned his head away with disdain, and said with disdain: Who is it? It's Liu Erdan.
At that time, Liu Pingkuanfang was held not far from the door by Mr. Li and others. Logically speaking, there was a distance of two or three feet between him and Brother Beggar, so he shouldn't have heard the other's sarcastic words mixed in the bustling city, but these words were clearly transmitted to Liu Pingkuan. in the ears.
As a result, Liu Pingkuan was seen pushing left and right to break away from Old Sun and others who were supporting him. Then he pointed at Brother Beggar and scolded him, regardless of whether he could walk straight or stand firm.
With the arrogance of the beggar, he would not tolerate Liu Pingkuan's foul mouth, not to mention that the other party not only humiliated him, but also greeted his late mother. Then he suddenly jumped up from the ground, and started scolding Liu Pingkuan who was staggering over on the spot.
As far as Liu Pingkuan is concerned, Beggar's mouth can be compared to ten Liu Erdan, and he can do it with ease. However, although Liu Pingkuan was not good at speaking, he was better because his words were foul and his mouth was dirty. He also made Brother Beggar angry and laughing, and he kept retorting.
Seeing this, Mr. Li and others, who had finally regained their breath and stood firm, were immediately furious. They wanted to go over and pull Liu Pingkuan away, but their heads were shaken by the retreat just now, and they faced the wind again. I was so drunk that I staggered for a while but couldn't get up. I couldn't hold anything or touch anyone, let alone crawl over to dissuade Liu Pingkuan? They were crawling forward in circles, stretching their arms and legs together, turning into a tortoise on all fours.
Compared with the other four people, Lao Li was the most unbearable - he started vomiting wine before he fell down, and immediately lay down as soon as he fell down. He rolled his eyes and went out to drink, and all he spat out was filth.
Lao Zhang was at ease and fell asleep. Then a red leaf drifted by and accidentally rubbed his nose. Then I saw him raise his hand and swipe it, muttering not to disturb his sleep.
God agreed and sent the autumn wind to bring half a curtain to cover his head...
The three of them, Mr. Lao and Sun, were trying to crawl over there, but none of them could stand up. They were falling and circling all the way, and they didn't know if they could draw the circle under their feet to that side.
At that time, Liu Pingkuan staggered closer to Brother Beggar and cursed him with a lot of unpleasant words. However, no matter how many words he said, he could not irritate Brother Beggar. But now he said "You are so stupid to beat the little motherless girl." "Goods" touched the opponent's back scales. Seeing that he was ferocious and furious, he immediately rushed over to him, pushed Liu Pingkuan to the ground and beat him.
Liu Pingkuan didn't have much ability to fight back because he was drunk, but he also couldn't feel much pain because of this. Even if he was beaten randomly, he could still curse the beggar.
The beggar brother was also completely aroused by Liu Pingkuan's words, so he gritted his teeth and climbed up on Liu Pingkuan's body to hold down the old man who didn't know how to live or die, and hit him hard and hard again and again. .
At this time, Lao Sun and others also staggered over, and had already tried to dissuade the two of them, but before they came, the three of them fell over again, and this time they could not get up again.
After this commotion, the stunned people on the street and the stunned people in the building rushed over and pulled the two away. If not, Brother Beggar would definitely fight this old man to the death.
However, even when he was being pulled out, Brother Beggar was still furiously kicking Liu Pingkuan in the air, and he was even more merciless.
But in response to this, Liu Pingkuan just sneered, nodded his head, and got up with a curse. Then he pushed away all the kind-hearted villagers who came to help and persuade him, and then shook his butt and patted it. He cursed and left here.
This scene was seen by Duan Zhigan upstairs through the window, but he didn't say anything and just looked at Brother Beggar silently. Because Brother Beggar suddenly broke away from all the kind people who hugged him, and then cursed angrily at Liu Pingkuan. And before Liu Pingkuan staggered onto the wall and turned into the alley, the beggar took off his worn shoes angrily and threw them at him.
It's a pity that this broken shoe can only be used as a farewell gift, and it only hit the shadow of Liu Pingkuan's heel.
Shi Chongrui's room was on the left side of the corridor, separated only by a ladder wall from Duan Zhigan's window, so he naturally saw everything that was happening.
But regarding this, Shi Chongrui, like Duan Zhigan, chose to remain silent.
…
Later, in a certain lane leading to Liuzhai.
Liu Pingkuan didn't go far when he suddenly felt the urge to urinate, so he staggered to the wall, unbuttoned his belt, and started peeing against the wall.
This scene happened to be discovered by a few naughty boys who were chasing after them. Everyone knew the virtues of naughty children, so they laughed and gave advice.
Liu Pingkuan wouldn't listen to any bad words. Unless you had status to overpower him, or you were powerful, otherwise he would not accept it and would not look down on you. Not to mention the current group of juniors?
He was so angry that he rushed over to teach the other party a lesson before his belt was fully tied. But it was a good thing that he didn't rush over. As soon as he pushed away from the wall, he lost his direction and center of gravity. And because he rushed too hard, he stretched his head and body forward, jumped, swayed, jumped, and finally spun in a circle. The child fell to the ground in a mess.
The children burst out laughing, holding their bellies in their hands, pointing at Liu Pingkuan and joking.
And their high-pitched jeers spread, causing Zhao Yufeng, who was sewing new clothes in the yard, to impatiently drop the clothes in his hands and rush out full of resentment and irritability to take a look.
However, before Zhao Yufeng could reach the door of his house, those naughty children pointed at Liu Pingkuan and laughed at them before running away elsewhere. Zhao Yufeng was not caught on the spot.
As soon as Zhao Yufeng walked out of the door, she saw those naughty children running away chasing each other, and she couldn't help but be stunned. But when she turned her eyes and saw Liu Pingkuan, she was truly dumbfounded and dumbfounded.
At that time, Liu Pingkuan frowned and was crawling this way on his hands and feet. Not only was the climb painful and difficult, but bruises were gradually appearing on his face.
Seeing the other party in such a miserable state, how could Zhao Yufeng keep her temper? Immediately, he stamped his feet in anger and rushed over cursing.
However, Liu Pingkuan not only swept away Zhao Yufeng's hands that were reaching for him, but also refused to let the other party help him. He also kept yelling and scolding and insisted on crawling back by himself. Zhao Yufeng was so angry that he turned his head away, stamped his feet, and pointed. The scolding kept going on.
But Liu Pingkuan didn't take it seriously. He was full of sneers and gloomy eyes.
The so-called pitiable people must be hateful, and hateful people must have pitiable suffering. However, where does this pitiable thing come from, is it the favor of man, oneself, or God?
