Chapter 281 He couldn't bear to ask
Opposite Qinghe River, there is the three-division rudder and the hall.
The bearded man scratched his ears twice and asked the subordinate who came to report again, "Who did you say is coming?"
A man's clear and casual voice came from outside the hall, "This seat."
The bearded man turned around and sat back on the luxurious stone chair covered with animal skins, without raising his eyelids, "I didn't ask you anything, leave."
The gang member who came to report the news immediately left the scene, so as to avoid the two giant Buddhas fighting and causing harm to himself.
"Boss Hu, when we met before, you at least knew to be polite. Today, I, Bai, come to your door in person, and you are not even polite. Is this the way of entertaining guests at the Twelve Piers?" Bai Xiaofeng walked into the hall with a smile, found a chair at random, took out a handkerchief to cushion it, and sat down.
The bearded man raised his eyelids and said, "Oh, I don't see that the Lord Bai treats himself as a guest."
"We are one family, so I won't be estranged. I came here to invite you for something."
You really are good at taking advantage of opportunities. "What's the matter?"
"I'm going to Longyuan Youshan after the New Year. I'd like to ask Gang Leader Hu to show me the way."
The bearded man's narrow, fierce eyes suddenly turned cold, and his gaze was stern. "Bai Xiaofeng, you investigated me a long time ago, right?"
Bai Xiaofeng smiled and flicked his sleeves. "If you want to survive in Fengyun City, you'd better get as much information about your opponents as possible. Don't be offended, Gang Leader Hu."
"I can't help you with this." The bearded man withdrew his gaze and clenched his hands into fists at his sides. "Master Bai, please seek help from someone else."
"We still have some time before we depart. Gang Leader Hu, don't rush to make a decision. Take your time to think it over." Bai Xiaofeng didn't seem angry. He continued to smile, but the casualness in his smile had faded a lot. "With Gang Leader Hu's current abilities, Youshan is not a big deal, don't you think?"
After saying this, the man stood up and put away his sleeves gracefully. "Since you're here, let's have dinner at the Su family tonight. Boss Hu, I'm waiting for you to come over for a drink."
Outside the hall, the gang member who had been in charge of reporting the incident saw Bai Xiaofeng leave unharmed and was surprised, "They didn't fight this time? Did they make peace?"
Before he could finish his words, there was a sound of smashing things in the hall.
“…” It’s still too early to speak.
…
The night in Fengyun City is bustling and noisy everywhere.
People who had just fought during the day and sat together drinking at night had voices so loud that they could penetrate the walls, adding a sense of liveliness to the huge Bai Mansion.
But this kind of atmosphere only avoids the martial arts training ground.
The December wind was cold, and it made a harsh and frightening sound as it blew past the weapon racks on the sidelines.
The figure in white in the field was holding a soft sword, like a startled phoenix and a flying dragon. His moves were clean and neat, the sword edge was sharp and domineering, and his control over strength was almost perfect.
The snowflakes fell silently, fluttering in large numbers and densely.
The young man turned a blind eye, his figure fluttering in the snow, his fluttering sleeves as cold and hard as a knife blade.
The girl's pale face flashed through his mind again and again, and the soft sword in his hand became more fierce.
After knowing each other for many years, he has never seen Tianbao afraid of anything. No matter what time, his face always has an almost indifferent calmness.
What on earth made her so uncomfortable?
He knew that Tianbao had inner demons.
But he couldn't bear to ask.
That would inevitably open her scars and make her wounds bleed again.
Two figures had been standing stealthily for a long time beside the flower-draped arch outside the martial arts arena, with a thick layer of snow covering their heads and shoulders.
"Master, we have to go and persuade him. The young master has been practicing for three hours! If he continues to practice, this, this-" Wouldn't he be exhausted to death in the martial arts training ground?
The housekeeper hunched his shoulders with his sleeves rolled up, shivering with cold. He and the master of the house had been standing here for more than two hours.
He is old and useless. If he stands any longer, he may die earlier than the young master.
Bai Kui was also worried. "If I could persuade him, I would have gone up long ago. Why would I stand here as a watchman? You know how Yu'er has never listened to me in all these years. I am the only one who listens to my son."
The cold wind was blowing and the snow was falling, and both the master and the servant sighed.
"Butler, go to the cellar and get the jar of fermented rice wine that the young master has collected."
After the fermented rice wine was brought, Bai Kui took off his cloak and threw it to the steward. Then he walked onto the martial arts training ground.
"Son, you've been practicing for so long, come and take a break. I brought over the fermented rice you hid in the cellar. Do you like sweet things like this? I'd like to take advantage of you and taste some with you today!"
Bai Kui walked to the steps behind the weapon rack, casually swept the broken snow off the steps, and sat down.
The young man drew his sword and closed his stance. His thin dance clothes were already soaked with sweat, and his chest rose and fell more violently than usual. However, his breathing remained steady and steady.
He walked to the steps and sat down next to the man.
Bai Kui opened the lid of the wine jar and took a sip. The sweet taste mixed with the smell of alcohol made his face feel choked. "Why do you like drinking this kind of stuff?"
Bai Yu said nothing, took the jar of wine and took a small sip.
"Dad, do you like Mom?" Bai Yu asked, looking up slightly at the gray shadows floating down from above.
"Nonsense, why do you not like me?"
"Were you sad when Mom left?"
Bai Kui was stunned for a moment, and naturally felt sad... He reached out and touched the boy's forehead, "You don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense? Son, you never talked about this with your father before."
After that, he patted the boy's shoulder and urged him to get up. "I asked someone to boil some water. Go back to your room and take a hot bath. If you stay in the wind for a while, your clothes will freeze."
The young man tilted his head to look at him and handed the wine jar to him, "You opened this jar of wine, savor it slowly and remember to finish it."
"..." Your father just didn't answer one question, and you start to cheat me?
The young man took his sword and left, returning to the training ground to continue drinking wind and swallowing snow.
Bai Kui held a large jar of fermented rice wine and looked up at the sky.
well.
What did he say?
I can't persuade him.
In the Bai family, only the father has to listen to his son.
…
The New Year is here.
The doors of the houses in Tubei Village where people live are decorated with festive Spring Festival couplets.
The Huo family's yard was bustling with people from the village who came to ask for calligraphy.
The Su family's yard was no less lively. One wheat ear was as noisy as half a village.
"Sister Tianbao, please take me with you this time, okay? Old Du can go, so why can't I? Do you know how lonely I am when you're not at home? There's no one to play with, no one to accompany, no one to love me. I'm just like the cabbage wilted by frost in the vegetable garden in winter!"
Next to the brazier in the main room, Wheat Ear, relying on the fact that she was a girl, rolled around on the young girl and acted coquettishly.
Su Wu covered his ears in agony. "Little wheat ear, please, spare me a few steps. Can you please go to the door and shout? Repeat what you just said, especially the last sentence, so that Master and Master's wife can hear it!"
This sound-killing skill is like killing people without being seen, oh my god!
Little Wheat Ear raised his chin and said, "I'll go to the door and yell when I can hit you with one finger!"
The rest of the people were used to it and remained calm, with each of them having two balls of cotton in their ears.
