Chapter Twenty-Two: Lovers
"Yes," replied Long Qi in a distant tone.
"Now leave, you shouldn't have come in at that time." Xiao Bu regretfully said.
"How can I know what I really want if I don't come in?"
"Anyway, good luck." Xiao Bu regretted sitting up and raised his wine cup.
"Thanks." Longqi smiled and said: "In the future, if we meet on the street, don't pretend you don't know me."
Xiao Bu's gaze fell on Su Tang: "Come over and have a drink together, this is blood cicada wine, which can't be bought in Changshan County."
"Alright." Su Tang took a step forward.
"Is this all right?" Longqi was somewhat surprised.
"What else?" Xiao Bu regretted smiled: "He is stronger than you, can make people feel at ease."
Long Qi was taken aback, his expression becoming somewhat flustered and embarrassed. This can be understood, the old leader is about to step down, kindly bringing the new appointee to familiarize himself with the environment, but as a result, everyone's evaluation is that the new appointee is stronger than the original one, anyone would be infuriated by this.
"Why is he stronger than me?" Long Qi asked with a scowl on his face.
"You and I are not of the same kind." Xiao Buwu said softly: "But he is."
"Haha, interesting!" Longqi's anger turned into a smile: "Then tell me, what kind of people are you?!"
"We eat meat." Xiao Bu said.
"You... you bastard!!" Long Qi was furious. If others were eating meat and were wolves, then what should he eat? It wasn't hard to guess.
"I didn't say anything." Xiao Bu regretted and spread his hands.
"I think I understand what it means for people to lose interest. "Longqi said: "However, you should know that I haven't left yet!"
"It doesn't matter, I'm just used to telling the truth." Xiao Buwu didn't seem afraid of Long Qi's threat and said with a smile: "You also understand that after being in this line for a long time, you will have an inexplicable intuition. I can feel it, his body is hiding a fierce beast, there is a voice telling me that absolutely cannot give him the opportunity to release the fierce beast from his body, or become friends with him, or kill him now."
The dragon flag suddenly fell silent, staring at Su Tang with a suspicious gaze. Su Tang felt very embarrassed, is this referring to me? And what's with the body hiding a fierce beast... I don't even know myself, how did you sense it? This is purely nonsense.
"Don't be deceived by him." Xiao Bu regretted smiling and said to Su Tang.
"What?" Su Tang was taken aback.
"This Longqi gentleman is used to pretending to be crazy and stupid, even the four major families of Tie, Bai, Cheng, and Mu in Changshan County are also played by him. However, deceiving people can only deceive for a while, but not for a lifetime. Slowly, more and more people have seen through his true face, and he is about to be unable to mix in. So now he has come up with a clever plan to retreat.
Xiao Bu regretted showing a sly smile: "His evaluation of you should be higher than mine, otherwise he wouldn't ask me so many questions in person. I guess... He may think that you are hiding something and want to use my influence to get information out of you."
Su Tang looked at Long Qi in surprise, while Long Qi's tense face began to relax and then broke into a smile. Su Tang didn't know what to say, having heard the girl give Long Qi such high praise. At first, he was very cautious, but after getting to know him, he found that Long Qi wasn't as profound and mysterious as he had imagined. In fact, because of some trivial matters, Long Qi became irritated and his attitude gradually became somewhat casual. For example, when Long Qi asked if he had gone too far, Su Tang gave a positive response. If he still had any reservations in his heart, Su Tang wouldn't have been so direct.
It wasn't until now that I realized everything was just an illusion!
"Sū Táng, you said you've never left Xiaolin Village before?" asked Longqi.
"Yes." Su Tang nodded, feeling very depressed in his heart. He knew how to disguise himself, but this was not a privilege. At least, Long Qi also did it extremely well. Never think that only you are smart and others are fools. This lesson must be remembered.
"The whistling sound of Tong Fei's sword won't intimidate you, and in Xiao Bu Hui's magical words, you can immediately regain your composure. I'm curious, what kind of place is Xiao Linbao... that can temper such courage? Hehe... I'll definitely go take a look if I have the chance."
Su Tang did not speak.
"Let it be." Longqi stood up: "There are still many things."
"I won't see you off then." Xiao Bu regretted it and waved his hand lazily.
Longqi and Su Tang walked slowly out of the courtyard, strolling along the street for a few minutes before Longqi spoke up: "Su Tang, what do you think about Tong Fei and Xiao Bu?"
"They... " Su Tang paused: "One is stranger than the other."
"It's not just strange, they're actually monsters." Long Qi smiled: "The person we are going to see now is the most monstrous and frightening among them."
"Is it more ruthless than Xiao Bu Hui?"
In Su Tang's view, using human bones to make countless wind chimes and hanging them in one's own home, with that intoxicated expression, as if appreciating the sound of the chimes every day, is something only the most brutal devil can do. Is there anyone more brutal than Xiao Bu?
"This person......" Long Qi hesitated for a long time before slowly saying: "I don't understand."
Su Tang didn't speak, and the two of them each thought their own thoughts as they slowly walked forward.
Before long, the dragon flag turned into a small alley, which was somewhat remote. The houses on both sides were getting narrower and more dilapidated, but the atmosphere was much more lively. There were children playing and chasing each other, some sitting at the door washing clothes in wooden basins, others washing vegetables and rice, and some gathered together chatting about family affairs. When they saw the dragon flag and Su Tang passing by, they curiously sized them up, because Long Qi's dress was very particular, looking like a noble gentleman at first glance.
The dragon flag stopped in front of a small courtyard with red bricks and green tiles, knocked on the gate a few times, waited for a moment, saw movement inside, looked around, and soon saw a group of women of different ages sitting together in the distance, chatting about something, the atmosphere was very lively, and from time to time burst out a loud laughter.
"Smell the fragrance!" Long Qi shouted loudly.
"Here she comes, here she comes!" A tall and beautiful girl emerged from the crowd, running happily towards this side, and when she got close, she hooked her arm around Long Qi's arm, looking very intimate with him.
In the distance, the sound of women's chatter and laughter could be heard: "This little girl, as soon as her lover boy arrives, she ignores us."
Su Tang couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth, thinking that he had come to find someone even more formidable than Xiao Bu Hui, but it turned out that he was here to meet his lover, and Bai had been tense for half a day.
As soon as they entered the house, before they could even sit down, Long Qi sighed and said, "There's no need to be so affectionate, is there?"
"You think I want to?" The girl who smelled the fragrance let go of Long Qi's arm and gave him a flirtatious glance.
"Why bother? Do you really care about their opinions of you?" Long Qi said.
"I grew up eating at a hundred different houses." Xiang's gaze swept over Su Tang: "You've never brought an outsider to see me before, what's going on? Are you really quitting?"
