Chapter 13 The twelfth round of lingering night

Steam pot chicken, red rotten duck, lion's head, steamed fish...these are all famous kung fu dishes that need to pay attention to heat, and Liang's mother must have been preparing them all day. But these dishes are still placed on the table intact, because there are only two people left on the table, and these two people don't even have any intention of eating the dishes. The guests did not leave, but the hosts left. When everyone left, they had a set of good reasons, although everyone could tell that those reasons were made up. They just wanted to leave Chu Liuxiang and Shi Xiuyun alone, and not only Chu Liuxiang understood this meaning, but also Shi Xiuyun.

The wonderful thing is that she didn't ask others to stay, and she didn't go away either. Holding the chopsticks, she tapped the wine glass lightly, as if she wanted to break the silence in the room, but also as if she felt that there was nowhere to put her hands, so she wanted to find something to do. The thin layer of blush on her face, seen under the faint light, is really indescribably charming and charming. She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes covered her eyelids, her white jade-like teeth bit her cherry-like red lips lightly, but not too hard. In the courtyard, the autumn wind blows the phoenix trees.

Emerald green wine, floating bursts of fragrance. Such a beautiful night, such a beautiful woman, and such fine wine, even if you don't drink, you should be drunk. Chu Liuxiang's experience with beauties and fine wines may be much richer than most people, but for some reason, his heart is beating non-stop at this moment. He rarely heard the sound of his own heartbeat. Shi Xiuyun suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes slid from his face to his hands, a pair of shallow dimples appeared on his dimples. She asked softly, "You don't toast me?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Do you know how to drink?"

Shi Xiuyun's eyes moved, and he said: "If you dare to drink with me, I will definitely get you drunk." Chu Liuxiang also smiled, and said, "Okay, I'll toast you." Shi Xiuyun curled her lips and said, "How stingy, if you want to toast, you have to toast three glasses. You...are you afraid that I will get drunk?" She quickly poured three glasses of wine and drank them down quickly. Whether a person knows how to drink can be seen from the way he raises his glass, and Chu Liuxiang knows that she has at least drunk once when he sees her way of raising his glass.

He also drank three cups, and said with a smile: "To be honest, I really didn't expect you to drink, and the amount of alcohol is not bad." Shi Xiuyun glanced at him out of the corner of his eyes, and said, "Why, I look like a countryman, don't I? Let me tell you, countrymen also drink." She started to pour the wine again, and continued leisurely: "I'll tell you again, during the Chinese New Year this year, I drank a jar alone, do you believe it?" Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "In that case, I should really find Xiao Hu to drink with you."

Shi Xiu said: "Who is Xiao Hu?" Chu Liuxiang said: "His name is Hu Tiehua, he is my old friend and a good friend, and he has a much stronger drinking capacity than me." Shi Xiuyun smiled and said: "Okay, next time you find him, I'll get him drunk for you to see, but today... today... I just want to drink with you." She raised her glass and said, "Come on, let me toast you. If you toast me three, I'll toast you six. I'm more imposing than you, right?" Chu Liuxiang touched his nose and said, "Six cups?" Shi Xiuyun took a sip, drank the first glass of wine, and said, "Six glasses, do you think it's too little? Or too much?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "It seems to be too much." Shi Xiuyun stared at him, and said coquettishly, "Why, are you afraid that I'll get drunk? As long as you're not drunk, it's fine, don't worry about me." She drank these six glasses of wine faster, and her face became redder when she finished drinking. Chu Liuxiang said softly, "I'll take you back after I've finished drinking these six cups, okay?" Shi Xiuyun rolled his eyes and said, "You... you can finish your drink before talking." Six glasses of wine are nothing to Chu Liuxiang.

After drinking six cups, he asked, "It's time for you to go back now." Shi Xiuyun bit her cherry lips, lowered her head, and slowly took off a pair of new embroidered shoes, but put a pair of white feet on the chair, then slowly raised her head, focused on Chu Liuxiang, and said word by word : "I'm not going back." Chu Liuxiang said: "You...you don't go back? Why?" Shi Xiuyun poured the wine again, said: "There is no reason, I just don't want to go back." She rolled her eyes on Chu Liuxiang's face, and said sweetly, "Come on, now it's your turn to toast me."

Chu Liuxiang could only touch her nose, her own nose. Shi Xiuyun lowered his head, and said quietly: "I'm in a bad mood, I want to drink, don't you want to accompany me?" Chu Liuxiang sighed secretly, and said, "As long as you don't get drunk, it doesn't matter if I drink with you for three days." Shi Xiuyun said: "Are you afraid that I will get drunk?" Chu Liuxiang smiled wryly and said, "I'm afraid of anyone who is drunk. I'm not afraid of anything, except for drunk people." Shi Xiuyun laughed and said, "I promise I will never get drunk, okay?"

Chu Liuxiang could only raise his glass and said, "Okay, I respect you." In fact, Chu Liuxiang naturally knew that no one could guarantee that he would not get drunk, and the only way to keep himself from getting drunk was not to drink at all. It's not a good idea, but it works. It's a pity that many people refuse to use this method, so there are still many people who get drunk every day. Chu Liuxiang also knows that persuading people to drink is not good, but it is also not good to persuade people not to drink, because the more you persuade him not to drink, the more he will drink.

He only hoped that Shi Xiuyun's drinking capacity was really good. Shi Xiuyun's drinking capacity is indeed good, but it's not as good as she imagined - everyone's drinking capacity is not as good as she imagined. Shi Xiuyun's eyes are not as flexible as before. She stared at Chu Liuxiang, pointed at Chu Liuxiang's nose with her chopsticks, and said with a chuckle: "You are not a good person, I knew you were not a good person... the first time I saw you, I knew I was going to be unlucky." Chu Liuxiang smiled wryly, "What's wrong with me?" Shi Xiuyun laughed and said: "You got me drunk...you got me drunk." Chu Liuxiang was angry and funny, and said, "Didn't you say you won't get drunk?" Shi Xiuyun wrinkled her nose, made a grimace, put her feet down again, and murmured: "It's so boring, it's so boring, why don't you go out for a walk with me?" Chu Liuxiang immediately stood up and said, "Okay." Shi Xiuyun bent down, almost stuck her head under the table, and said, "My shoes... Where are my shoes?" Her shoes have been kicked towards Chu Liuxiang. Chu Liuxiang could only pick it up for her. Unexpectedly, Shi Xiuyun raised her foot, said with a chuckle, "You put it on for me... If you don't put it on for me, I won't leave." Grasping her slender feet. Chu Liuxiang's heart was beating again unconsciously. For a man like him, this little girl did too much. It was as if she was bullying him, as if saying that he didn't dare. Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but wanted to teach her a lesson. But this time Chu Liuxiang didn't do anything, just put on her shoes for her and helped her out the door. She hung her hands on Chu Liuxiang's shoulders, and she hung her whole body on his shoulders. The night is as cool as water. The starlight is reflected on the bluestone road, and the bluestone road reflects the starlight. The autumn wind is as gentle as a lover's breath. Chu Liuxiang suddenly felt that she was also a little drunk. He didn't see that there were two glowing eyes staring at him in the darkness. It wasn't too dark in the wooden house, because the starlight sneaked in quietly. Chu Liuxiang didn't know why he listened to Shi Xiuyun, why he brought her here again, maybe he was really drunk. Shi Xiuyun was as happy as a lark, turned around briskly, and said, "Do you know why I came here?" Chu Liuxiang did not speak. Shi Xiuyun said: "Because this is where I first saw you." Chu Liuxiang said: "Let's go." At this moment, it is really wonderful to say these two words suddenly. Shi Xiuyun said: "Go? Why do you want to go?" Chu Liuxiang said: "If you don't leave again, do you know what will happen to me?" Shi Xiuyun smiled charmingly and shook her head. Chu Liuxiang tried her best to make her expression look more fierce, and said in a calm voice: "Since you already know that I am not a good person, you should guess what I am going to do. It is your luck that you leave quickly, otherwise I will tear you up." Rip your clothes, and..." Before he could finish his sentence, Shi Xiuyun suddenly let out a "squeak" and threw himself into his arms, tightly hooking his neck, and said: "You are so bad, you are necrotic, I knew that one day you would treat me like this mine." Chu Liuxiang was stunned. He was just talking about it, trying to scare her, but she actually "practiced" it, he wanted to push... He pushed it to the most inappropriate place. Shi Xiuyun's laughter was like silver bells, intermittent silver bells, she took his hand, stuffed it into her skirt, and whispered: "Touch me to see if I have a fever?" She did have a fever. Although Chu Liuxiang was a little bit reluctant, he quickly pulled out his hand, but Shi Xiuyun picked up his hand again and bit it hard. She bit his finger and said: "You bad bastard, you have been seducing me from beginning to end, you think I don't know? Now you are going to run away again. If you dare to run away, be careful I will bite you off." your fingers." Chu Liuxiang is a man, and there is nothing wrong with him. Nothing wrong with it. The sun has risen. The sun shines into the window and shines on the stone embroidered cloud legs. Her legs are long and straight. No matter how picky people are, they can't help but admit that these legs are very attractive. Chu Liuxiang's gaze slowly shifted from her legs to her face. There was still a blush on her face, her breathing was so peaceful, and she was sleeping like a baby. Looking at this face, Chu Liuxiang suddenly felt unspeakable regret. He was not Liu Xiahui, and he never wanted to be Liu Xiahui, but this time, he wished he was Liu Xiahui last night. He'd been intimate with other girls before, too, but that was different.Those girls were strong and courageous. He knew that even though they would miss him, they would not suffer for him. But the girl who is leaning against him now is different, she is so innocent, so childish, so weak... He didn't dare to imagine what would happen to her after he left her? "Will she commit suicide?" Thinking of this, Chu Liuxiang really wanted to slap herself several times. Shi Xiuyun's legs shrank slightly, and dimples gradually appeared on his face. Then she opened her eyes. Chu Liuxiang hardly dared to meet her eyes. Shi Xiuyun turned over, suddenly moaned softly, and said with a smile: "My head hurts so much." Chu Liuxiang said softly: "Thinking of the headache the next day, you should drink less alcohol in the future." Shi Xiuyun chuckled and said: "I heard that people who like to drink have a bad memory, and after two days, they will forget all the pain after being drunk." Chu Liuxiang couldn't help laughing and said: "It's not bad at all. As far as I know, Xiao Hu has given up alcohol at least a thousand times. Every time he has a headache, he clamors to quit alcohol, but he quits in less than half a day." Shi Xiuyun sat up, rubbed his eyes, and said with a smile: "So the sun has risen so high." Chu Liuxiang said: "It's really getting late, I...I really don't want to leave..." He was about to go on to say: "Although I don't want to go, I have to go." But he couldn't say it anyway. But Shi Xiuyun said: "You don't want to leave, but I have to." Chu Liuxiang was startled, and said, "You..." Shi Xiuyun said: "I know you should go too." Chu Liuxiang said: "Then... Then we will..." Shi Xiuyun said: "In the future? We don't have a future, because you will never see me again in the future." Chu Liuxiang was stunned. Shi Xiuyun suddenly smiled, and said: "Why are you surprised? Do you think I will entangle you and not let you go?" She kissed Chu Liuxiang's face, stood up, began to put on her clothes, and said deeply: "You and I are not in the same world at all. Even if I can barely keep you, or I must go with you, I won't be in the same world in the future." will be happy." Chu Liuxiang could hardly speak. Shi Xiuyun smiled softly, and said: "I am a very ordinary person. I have always lived an ordinary life before, and I must live an ordinary life in the future. In my life, I can have such an extraordinary day with you ... As long as one day, I am very satisfied, and when I am very old, at least I will have such a sweet memory of one day." She stared at Chu Liuxiang tenderly, and said softly, "So I should be grateful to you no matter what." Chu Liuxiang sat there, not knowing what it was like. Shi Xiuyun kissed him again, then suddenly turned around and walked out quickly, without even turning her head to look at him. Chu Liuxiang originally hoped that she would leave well, but now that she really left well, Chu Liuxiang felt a little sour and bitter in her heart. He originally hoped that she would go away, but now he hoped that she would not go so fast—everyone said that women's moods are unpredictable, but in fact, men are not like that. Chu Liuxiang stared at the door, as if hoping that she would suddenly open the door and walk in. The door was pushed open... But it was not the gentle and beautiful Shi Xiuyun who walked in from the door, but a tall, tall man who smelled of alcohol and had just given birth to a beard. Chu Liuxiang cried out and said, "Little Hu, how did you find this place?" Hu Tiehua didn't answer this question, but shook his head and said with a smile: "Old bug, you really have two hands... How did you trick that girl into obediently leaving? You must teach me this method. " Chu Liuxiang's stomach was full of bitterness, but she couldn't vomit it out. She patted her face and said, "Why should I teach you? Anyway, girls run away faster than horses when they see you." Although he was deliberately angry with Hu Tiehua, he also knew that Hu Tiehua would never be angry, let alone feel uncomfortable-no matter who wants Hu Tiehua to feel uncomfortable, it is very difficult. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Hu Tiehua immediately put on a mournful face, unable to laugh anymore, stood there in a daze for a long time, and then slapped himself on the ear, and said loudly: "That's right, what you said is not bad at all, I'm a drunkard, I'm a poor man, I'm lazy, I'm dirty, I'm ugly, and it's weird if a girl doesn't run away from me." Chu Liuxiang was also dumbfounded. He knows that Hu Tiehua is not a person who likes to joke. He has known Hu Tiehua for more than 20 years, and Hu Tiehua is always happy and complacent. How could he be like this now?Is there something wrong with him? I saw Hu Tiehua tearing up, as if she was about to cry. Chu Liuxiang couldn't help laughing and said: "Whoever says you are ugly, that person must be blind, look at your nose, eyebrows, eyes... Especially your eyes, you can't find one among ten thousand men. " Hu Tiehua involuntarily raised his hand and touched his eyes, as if he felt happier, but suddenly shook his head and said with a bitter face: "Even if my eyes are good, it's useless, I'm a poor man." Chu Liuxiang said: "Man, it doesn't matter if you are poor, as long as you are so poor... Not all the girls in the world are blind to money." Hu Tiehua involuntarily puffed up his chest, but suddenly shrank back, shaking his head and said: "It's a pity that I'm a drunk again." Chu Liuxiang held back a smile and said, "What's so bad about drinking? Only people who drink alcohol are masculine. Famous heroes, generals, and poets in ancient times, who doesn't drink alcohol? When a girl sees your arrogance in drinking, her heart has already fallen. You're in the glass." This is true. That summer, they drank on Mochou Lake, and Hu Tiehua got drunk, so he agreed to marry Gao Yanan in a daze. But he forgot about it the next day, but Gao Yanan didn't forget it, and forced him to take her, and said that if he reneged, she would have no face to live, and she would commit suicide. Immediately, Hu Tiehua fled in fright, and Gao Yanan chased after him. According to Hu Tiehua herself, she actually chased him for two or three years. This was Hu Tiehua's pride, Chu Liuxiang thought that Hu Tiehua would be happier, but when Hu Tiehua heard the name "Gao Yanan", his face immediately became like a hanged ghost. Chu Liuxiang was surprised, and asked tentatively, "Could it be that you saw Gao Yanan again?" Hu Tiehua said: "Yes." Chu Liuxiang said in surprise: "Did she still ignore you?" Hu Tiehua said: "She...she just ignored me, as if she didn't recognize me." Saying this, he looked more like a child who had just been wronged. Chu Liuxiang was even more surprised, she pulled him to sit down, and said, "What's going on here, tell me carefully." Hu Tiehua said: "One day I got two jars of good wine, so I went to 'Quick Net' Zhang San, because his grilled fish is the best, I remember you also like it very much." Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "That's right, only the fish he grilled is neither fishy nor old, and it doesn't lose the freshness of the fish." Hu Tiehua said: "He and I were sitting on the bow of the boat grilling fish and eating wine. Suddenly, a boat passed by us very quickly. There were three people on board, and one of them looked very familiar to me." Chu Liuxiang laughed and said, "Gao Yanan?" Hu Tiehua nodded her head and sighed: "I was also taken aback at that time, so I chased after her, wanting to say hello to her, but she didn't pay attention to me at all. I waved at her desperately, but she didn't seem to notice." Chu Liuxiang said: "Maybe... Maybe she really didn't see you." Hu Tiehua said: "Who said that? She was sitting at the window, staring at me for a long time, but it was like staring at a log. I chased all the way down, and she sat at the window all the way, but she just ignored me." Chu Liuxiang said: "Why don't you just jump on her boat? Go and find out." Hu Tiehua said with a bitter face: "I dare not." Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "You dare not? Why? At most, she can only kick you off the boat." Hu Tiehua sighed: "Because her master, the old nun from the Huashan Sect was also on board, I was really a little scared... I was not afraid of her other things, but her face." The contemporary head of the Huashan Sword School, "Master Kumei", is dignified and dignified. It is said that he has not smiled for thirty years. No matter who sees her, everyone in the world will inevitably be a little scared. Chu Liuxiang was moved and said: "Master Kumei has not been in the world for more than 20 years, why did he come down this time?" He suddenly felt that this incident was very interesting. If there was no very important event, Master Kumei would never go down to Mount Hua. Now that she has gone down to Mount Hua, there must be something important to happen. Chu Liuxiang suddenly patted Hu Tiehua on the shoulder hard, and said: "Don't feel bad, I will accompany you to find her after I finish my work here, and ask her why she ignores you?" The corner of Hu Tiehua's mouth twitched, and suddenly said: "You will be surprised when you see Master Kumei." Chu Liuxiang said: "Why?" Hu Tiehua said: "Because she has returned to vulgarity." Chu Liuxiang cried out, and said, "Master Kumei will return to vulgarity! You must have seen a ghost." Master Kumei has been a monk for more than forty years, with profound cultivation and strict precepts. If it is said that she can also return to the vulgar, it is even more surprising than that Chu Liuxiang has become a monk. Hu Tiehua smiled wryly and said: "I also know that no matter who I tell this matter to, no one will believe it, but she has indeed returned to vulgarity." Chu Liuxiang said: "I'm afraid you misjudged the person." Hu Tiehua said: "Master Kumei's appearance will never be forgotten by anyone, let alone me?" Chu Liuxiang said: "But..." Hu Tiehua said: "When I saw her, she was wearing a purple satin flowered gown, holding a dragon-headed crutch in her hand, with gray hair on her head, she looked like a royal lady full of descendants. " Chu Liuxiang was speechless. It is already surprising that Master Kumei actually descended from Mount Hua, and it is even more unbelievable that she will return to vulgarity. There must be another strange event involved in this.Chu Liuxiang became more and more interested. He suddenly jumped up and ran out, saying: "You wait for me here, around noon, I will definitely come back to accompany you." It is true that another big event happened in Jianghu, no matter who wants to meddle in this matter, it is inevitable that there will be a disaster of death, if Chu Liuxiang is a smart person, he should avoid it far away. It's a pity that smart people do stupid things sometimes.
