Qingfeng Xu Xu

"I told you to keep it safe."Xu Mulin caught the hairpin and looked at the boss with shuddering eyes and a cold and scary tone.

The boss took two steps back in fear, his Adam's apple twitching. Seeing the clerk coming out from behind after hearing the sound, the boss also gained some confidence,"Now that I'm back, , did you get the money? Dare you send me away with this broken hairpin?"

"Broken hairpin? If I hadn't caught it just now, the hairpin would have been broken. If that were the case, even if it destroyed your shop, it wouldn't be enough.

The boss said disdainfully:"No one wants this hairpin. If it breaks, it will at most be worth your drink money, which is far from enough.""The boss talked more and more enthusiastically, but seeing that it was getting late and ready to close, he didn't want to waste any time talking to Xu Mulin,"Okay, have you brought the money? If you brought it, bring it quickly, we are closing."

"How much?"

The boss symbolically made a few strokes on the abacus. Looking at Xu Mulin's appearance, he didn't want the lion to open his mouth. Xu Mulin couldn't afford that much money."Vegetable money, wine money, and the wine you broke." Pot, full of money, one tael of silver."

Xu Mulin threw a piece of silver on the counter. Looking at the boss's eyes, Xu Mulin said in a deep voice:"Change.

Only then did the boss realize that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly said,"No, no, no, sir, please put it away. This wine is for me today.""With that said, the boss picked up the money and handed it to Xu Mulin respectfully.

Xu Mulin didn't appreciate it at all and still said coldly:"Change."

The boss thought he had kicked the iron plate, so he had no choice but to do as Xu Mulin said. The boss took the money and handed it to Xu Mulin. He was about to say a few words of courtesy to calm down, but something seemed to fly through the air. In an instant, beer splashed everywhere..Xu

Mulin took the money and threw it into the hall. Several pieces of broken silver were knocked out. Several large jars of wine on the stairs were all shattered, and the tables, chairs and benches were also shattered.

"Businessmen should have integrity. If you really sell that hairpin today, your entire restaurant will collapse."

The boss and the waiter were frightened by the movement and huddled in a corner of the counter. It wasn't until Xu Mulin left that they climbed out and closed the door cautiously.

Xu Mulin held the hairpin in his hand and rubbed it up and down to make sure there was no damage before finally feeling relieved. , but when I thought about the scene where the boss threw the hairpin out when I just entered the door, I still felt very scared. If I had come a little later, the hairpin might have been smashed to pieces. Xu Mulin sighed, thought about it, and decided to throw it away. He put the hairpin into his arms and put it away before tiptoeing up to the roof and looking for it in the opposite direction where he had just seen Xu Qingjiu.

When Xu Mulin returned to the house, he saw the lights in Xu Qingjiu's room and thought to himself : It turns out he’s really back. Xu Mulin tidied up a little, walked to Xu Qingjiu’s door and knocked on the door,"Qingjiu, can I have a few words with you?"

Xu Qingjiu opened the door, and before Xu Mulin could speak, he looked at Xu Mulin and said,"Senior brother, I'm sorry, I've been fooling around these past few days, and I won't do this again."

Looking at Xu Qingjiu's appearance, Xu Mulin also relaxed. After he sobered up, half of his impulse dissipated, but Xu Mulin still wanted to confess to Xu Qingjiu, perhaps to explain the matter, and Xu Qingjiu could have his own choice, if Xu Qingjiu knows the truth and feels that Xu Mulin is really embarrassed from now on, and wants to keep a distance from now on, this is also a way to prevent Xu Mulin from hiding this kind of thoughts and being surrounded by Xu Qingjiu. Selfishness, over time, even Xu Mulin felt very disgusting and hateful

"Qingjiu, I think..."

"Senior brother, do you have anything else to do? If not, I would like to rest."

Although Xu Qingjiu was smiling when he spoke, Xu Mulin could clearly feel the indifference in Xu Qingjiu's words. Xu Mulin was at a loss and hesitated as to how else to speak, but Xu Qingjiu had already taken a step back. He closed the door.

Until the lights in Xu Qingjiu's room went out, Xu Mulin was still standing at the door at a loss. He couldn't understand why Xu Qingjiu was so cold all of a sudden, but he didn't even have a chance to ask.

Xu Mulin Qingjiu turned off the light and lay down on the bed again. She really didn't want to see Xu Mulin's figure projected on the door. But although she could no longer see it now, Xu Qingjiu still couldn't help crying, feeling bitter and desperate in her heart. Even the last possibility was gone. Xu Mulin smelled of alcohol and clearly put the facts in front of him - it was Xu Mulin himself who drank, and it was Xu Mulin who held off the hairpin, not Xu Qingjiu still had a fluke hope The hairpin was just accidentally lost by Xu Mulin.

It turns out that nothing can last forever. As long as you don’t want it anymore, you can discard it at any time. As long as it has some value, you can use anything as a bargaining chip for others. That hairpin , maybe it’s just that I value it very much, and I have always overestimated my significance to you.

At times like this, all kinds of negative emotions and thoughts in my heart begin to pour into my mind, crowding out Xu Qingjiu couldn't hold back any more tears until her temples were wet but she could still wet the pillow. Xu Qingjiu didn't know if Xu Mulin was still at the door or not. He might have left a long time ago, but Xu Qingjiu still didn't want to let out any tears. , to be ridiculed in this dark night, to be despised by the people he always thought he cherished.

After a person is extremely sad and crying, he will feel sleepy very quickly. After Xu Qingjiu cried silently for a long time while holding the quilt, he finally felt helpless. When he fell asleep, the tears that soaked the pillow seemed to flow back. Even though Xu Qingjiu closed his eyes tightly at this moment, he was still crying very sadly and painfully.

The next day, Xu Qingjiu came early in the morning When he woke up, his eyes were so swollen that he could only open a narrow slit. He also felt weak all over his body and his head was dull and dizzy. No matter what was going on outside, Xu Qingjiu just wanted to lie in bed and not move.

Earlier, Xu Mulin I knocked on the door once and invited Xu Qingjiu to have breakfast together, but Xu Qingjiu was not interested at all and just rejected Xu Mulin through the door. At noon, Xu Qingjiu finally felt empty in her stomach, so she had to get up and go out to the kitchen to find something. After ordering something to eat, as soon as he went out, he happened to bump into Xu Mulin, who was leaning on a pillar and looking a little listless.

Xu Qingjiu knew that he couldn't avoid it forever, so he had to go up and exchange a few polite words, and then looked for Got an excuse to leave

"You haven't eaten anything in the morning. I made some food and will be with Jihua and the others later...."Seeing Xu Qingjiu about to leave again, Xu Mulin didn't care about anything else and reached out to hold Xu Qingjiu.

In her heart, Xu Qingjiu just wanted to refuse, but for a moment she couldn't think of any other excuse. But when he looked up at Xu Mulin, he saw that the hairpin was back on Xu Mulin's head. Xu Qingjiu felt more and more mixed emotions in her heart. She didn't know whether she should be thankful that Xu Mulin had the intention to take the hairpin back. I should still be helpless. Xu Mulin knew me too well. He guessed that he was angry because of the hairpin, so he took the hairpin back. At this moment, he just happened to put it on and show off in front of him.

"good."Xu Qingjiu suddenly withdrew his hand from Xu Mulin, and after a simple and clear agreement, he turned around and went back to the room.

After a while, it was Li Jihua who came to call Xu Qingjiu. Xu Qingjiu had just returned to the room and was in the water. Seeing his own appearance, he was putting a cold handkerchief over his eyes to reduce the swelling, so he had to excuse himself to Li Jihua and tell him that he was changing clothes.

Wu Jinghua looked at the table of dishes Xu Mulin had cooked, thinking that Xu Mulin really They still cherished Xu Qingjiu, but they already wanted to make Xu Qingjiu happy one night. After Li Jihua came back, he explained the reason, and the three of them continued to sit and wait for Xu Qingjiu to come over. However, the atmosphere was too quiet, and Wu Jinghua remembered After yesterday's scene, I thought I'd better calm down the atmosphere first, maybe it could help Xu Mulin. Just then, Wu Jinghua remembered that she saw Xu Mulin coming back in a hurry yesterday and hurried out of the door, so she broke the silence and asked Xu Mulin. After asking about the matter,

Xu Mulin also remembered that because of yesterday's incident, he was so unhappy in other people's homes. Now that people were expressing concern again, Xu Mulin followed the conversation and told his embarrassing experience as a joke. come out

"Is there anything like this? Which one? I'll go and settle the accounts later. How dare you be so rude, I really disgrace Taiyuan. After hearing this, Wu Jinghua said angrily:"That hairpin was chosen by Qingjiu after many trips. Who doesn't have a good eye for it and dares to say it's worthless?" I had to come to the door and talk about it properly."

Xu Qingjiu had just arrived at the door when he suddenly heard Wu Jinghua mention the hairpin. He thought there was something hidden in it that he hadn't thought of, so he stood at the door and listened carefully. But what he heard was Xu Mulin said flatly:"It's nothing, just take it for granted. Just come back, it's just a matter of money, don't be too embarrassed."

Hearing this, Xu Qingjiu couldn't help but feel bitter in her heart: What a good statement. But the more times like this, the less Xu Qingjiu wants to show any weakness.

"Qingjiu, you are finally here. I am so hungry just looking at these dishes prepared by Senior Brother Xu."Wu Jinghua saw Xu Qingjiu walking in and was the first to greet him warmly.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting."Xu Qingjiu saw that only the seat next to Xu Mulin was left, and sat down very naturally.

When Wu Jinghua and Li Jihua saw this, they both smiled heartily, thinking that the matter had finally calmed down. Except for the meeting this morning Xu Qingjiu, knowing that Xu Qingjiu had not changed any clothes at all, Xu Mulin raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously when he heard Wu Jinghua calling Xu Qingjiu's name. At this moment, he just hung there in embarrassment.

"Qingjiu, what is your senior brother’s specialty? Give me an introduction. I looked at this table and didn’t know where to start."Although he looked kind and gentle on the face, Wu Jinghua still felt a little weird, so he had to continue to calm down.

"The dishes cooked by my senior are all delicious, and everyone is good at them. In the past at Tianzong, my senior always cooked for my master and me. Xu Qingjiu replied with a smile, and said as if casually:"Speaking of this, I miss my master a little." By the way, Jihua, didn’t you say you were going to Luzhou before? Any news recently? When do you plan to set off? When I return to Tianzong, I might be able to travel with you for a while."

"...After some news came out a few years ago, there is no new news until now."Although the focus of Xu Qingjiu's words lies in the last sentence, Li Jihua didn't understand why Xu Qingjiu suddenly mentioned this matter.

The atmosphere seemed to freeze in an instant again, and it was Xu Mulin who spoke first and asked:"Qingjiu, do you want to go back? ?"

"It's been a long time since I came out, so it's time to go back. However, if senior brother still wants to stay outside for some time, I will go back first. Senior brother, there is no need to worry. It does not mean that if you are not in Ziqingtang, master and I will not be able to take care of ourselves."Although Xu Qingjiu was trying his best to restrain himself, what he finally said was even too harsh for Xu Qingjiu himself.

Everyone insisted on finishing the meal, but after this incident, no one dared to take the initiative again. Mentioning the matter of having dinner together. Xu Qingjiu also did the same. After getting up in the morning and meeting everyone, he practiced his sword in the yard for a while, ignoring Xu Mulin who stood aside and watched him every time. A few times After the day passed, Xu Qingjiu's swordsmanship improved greatly, but the annoyance in his heart did not diminish at all. But he also thought that because of his presence in the past few days, the atmosphere in the house had been extremely depressing, and Xu Qingjiu really couldn't pretend to be as good as Xu Mulin. Prajna looked as if nothing had happened. After much deliberation, it was time to put the matter of returning to Tianzong on the agenda. After Xu Qingjiu practiced his sword, he went back to the house to clean it briefly. When he passed by Xu Mulin, he still walked straight away as if he hadn't seen Xu Mulin. walked through

"Qingjiu..."When Xu Mulin spoke out, Xu Qingjiu had already strode away. Seeing Xu Qingjiu not stopping for a moment, Xu Mulin could only tell himself that it was because Xu Qingjiu didn't hear it.

Xu Qingjiu stopped after turning the corner. Xu Qingjiu heard this and mustered up great courage to stop, but it seemed that Xu Mulin didn't really mean to say anything to him. Xu Qingjiu stood for a while and laughed at herself again.
