Chapter 282: Everything is a Routine
My granddaughter has just been back for a few months and she is about to go on a long journey again.
After going through this time and again, the adults in Xiao Su's family are now used to it, and the sadness that can be felt at parting is about the same no matter how much they squeeze.
As soon as the New Year arrives, that little bit of sadness is thrown away.
The New Year's Eve dinner is especially crowded.
The Su and Huo families ate together.
Su An invited his godfather, Big Beard.
Tianbao invited his godfather Bai Xiaofeng.
Bai Yu came with his father in a swagger to join in.
There was no room for so many people to sit, so the food was served at separate tables in the main hall and kitchen.
Du Buqin didn't like to hang out with those villains, so he came over to the children, ate a bite of food, shook his shoulders and laughed, ate a bite of food, shook his shoulders and laughed.
"Old Poison Man, you wouldn't have poisoned the table, would you?" Little Wheat Ear was the first to suspect.
The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "Is grandpa the kind of person who would do something like that to spoil the fun on such a festive day?"
After saying this, his expression immediately turned smug. "We're leaving right after the New Year. That bastard Bai Xiaofeng is afraid I won't go, so he reminds me every time he sees me... Oh my, now you understand how important grandpa is, right? You can't do without me, an old man!"
Tianbao picked up some food for him with chopsticks and said, "Yes, we can't do without you."
This one sentence made the old man's tail stick to the sky.
The boys couldn't bear to watch it. If they didn't take Grandpa Du out for some fresh air, he would really go crazy at home.
"Oh, by the way, Xiao Anzi's godfather is probably going too. I overheard something and the bearded man seemed a little strange." Du Buqin muttered nonchalantly, "He doesn't seem to like Youshan, just like I, an old man, don't like it. Come on, let's eat, and then we can go set off firecrackers!"
The old man abruptly changed the subject, but the children took it to heart.
Tianbao knew that what Grandpa Du said was just like he didn't like Kongliu Island.
Uncle Beard might have some connection with Youshan.
Bai Yu nudged Su An and asked in a low voice, "You are closest to Uncle Beard. Have you ever heard him mention Youshan or the past?"
Su An frowned and shook his head, "No."
Godfather never mentioned the past to him.
His background, origin, etc. were never revealed.
Youshan...
After dinner, several important figures with hidden agendas gathered in the Huo family yard to play chess.
The bearded man didn't know how to play chess, he could only tell the difference between black and white. He pulled a stool and sat next to the stove to watch the fire.
It seems particularly isolated from the world.
Bai Kui reached out with his big hand and pulled him over. "We are all family now, come and chat with each other, why are we so distant?"
The bearded man struggled, "I'm just a rough guy, I don't understand that kind of elegant stuff!"
"I don't understand it either, but I'll pretend to be ignorant. At least I can keep a good impression, right?" Bai Kuilang laughed. "Like me, I can barely recognize a few characters. I also set up a study at home, piled with books, but I can't read a single page in a year."
The two elegant men playing chess laughed out loud when they heard this.
Bai Xiaofeng twirled his sleeves and dropped his pieces. Perhaps influenced by the festive atmosphere, his usual arrogance had diminished a bit. "Master Bai, you are speaking in a less formal manner now."
"We have the same son, who is Mr. Huo's disciple and a fellow disciple of the bearded man's godson... Why are we still alienated from each other? We have been connected for a long time." Bai Kui didn't mind being teased at all.
In the beginning, they were each a king, and the fighting never stopped, openly or secretly.
No one could have imagined that one day several of them would be able to sit together and talk and laugh like this.
But to be honest, Bai Kui prefers the present.
After wandering around the world for decades, he has grown older and his mind has become more open than before.
The most important point is that he has successors.
Compared with the three in front of him... Bai Kui smiled, but hid his pride in his heart.
Huo Ziheng occasionally looked up at him, shook his head and couldn't help laughing.
After a few drinks, the usually steady head of the Bai family also showed some of his true nature.
"The canal will begin to thaw at the end of February, so you will be setting off by then, right?" Huo Ziheng changed the subject, pondered for a moment, and said, "Master Bai, is this trip to Longyuan Youshan really necessary? But does this forbidden Qimen technique have anything to do with you?"
Otherwise, if you just want to find out the user behind the Nether Iron, you may not need to go to Youshan in person to investigate.
Bai Xiaofeng's moves slowed down a bit, and after a while he said, "All the unique techniques in the world come from the same source. Each sect has its own rules. Those who use forbidden techniques are considered to be traitors to the sect and will not be forgiven lightly. Although I am not a good person, I also despise treating my fellow soldiers like pigs and dogs."
We are all human beings, but he turns his comrades into neither alive nor dead monsters and uses them as tools to satisfy his ambitions. The people behind the scenes are truly worse than pigs and dogs.
When he finds that person, he will let him taste what it feels like to be treated like a pig or a dog!
Three pairs of eyes fell on Bai Xiaofeng, causing the man to frown in displeasure. His snake pupils raised with a contemptuous look, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
The arrogant man is back again, he hasn't changed, he is still the Bai Xiaofeng who makes people want to punch him when they see him.
Bai Kui laughed and patted him on the shoulder, "My kid can't sit still, so let him follow you on this trip. He can broaden his horizons and gain more experience while he's still young!"
The bearded man curled his lips and didn't want to say anything.
What does it have to do with him, the master, or the pigs and dogs? Why should he help Bai Xiaofeng lead the way?
Unfortunately, his mouth was a little out of control, "I'll just take my godson with me to broaden his horizons!"
Grass.
Slap in the face.
Bai Xiaofeng's raised eyelids softened, and his thin lips curled up slightly as he spoke to someone who knew the truth, "Facing the past is the best way to eliminate evil obstacles."
This is a riddle.
The other three understood.
The bearded man looked at Bai Kui, who was suddenly realizing what was happening, and then at Huo Ziheng, who was smiling silently. He suddenly jumped up and pounced on Bai Xiaofeng, "Fuck you, Bai Xiaofeng! I've been putting up with you for a long time!"
The small yard was not big enough for two people to display their skills, yet when they started fighting, they knew to avoid the items piled up in the corners.
The tea on the red clay stove was just boiling. Bai Kui picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea, then watched the fun leisurely with Huo Ziheng.
"Mr. Huo, you just asked Bai Xiaofeng if it was necessary, but what hidden danger is there behind it?"
Huo Ziheng smiled faintly, "It's okay for now. Those who cast a long line to catch a big fish never know if they won't be dragged into the water by the big fish and get splashed all over themselves."
"Hahaha, then Bai is relieved!"
Neither of the two men over there wanted to kill each other, and the fight was evenly matched, allowing them to vent their anger without causing any harm.
The two people were drinking tea and watching a play beside the chessboard, feeling relaxed and content.
There was always a faint smile on Huo Ziheng's lips, and he looked calm and relaxed.
There are countless people in this world who are good at scheming.
But if you look at it from a general perspective, all of them are routines.
If you meet someone who doesn't play by the rules, the chances of winning are beyond your estimation and control.
It just so happens that his eldest disciple Tianbao doesn't like to play by the rules.
He will not interfere too much in this matter. The children have to walk their own path to truly increase their knowledge and grow their character.
Otherwise, you will always be a person who just listens and does what others say, and you will easily lose your own opinion.
