Xiao Li and the other two finished their discussion and returned to the inn after finishing their food and wine. When Xiao Li and the other two returned to the inn, everyone immediately found a guest room to sleep in.
The three of them slept until the ninetieth hour before they got up and washed up. They then called for the waiter to order some food for them to eat in the guest room. After everyone was done eating, Xiao Li said, ”I'll go out for a walk. You guys stay in the room and obediently practice.” Mu Long said: ”Big brother, are we going to investigate Old Wu's background?” However, Tian Liu said, ”Big Brother, let's go as well. ”It's better to have more people to take care of.” Xiao Li said, ”There's no need. You guys give me hard work in cultivation so that I can take care of you.” I'm going, don't be lazy. ”
Xiao Li walked out of his room and strolled aimlessly down the street. At this time, the night market was bustling with noise and excitement, and the streets were packed with people. Xiao Li enjoyed the bustle and excitement of the city along the way as he thought about how to find out more information. He couldn't think of anything else. It would be hard for him to find out what other people were scheming. He had just arrived, so he didn't know what the situation was like.
Xiao Li, with his mind filled with worries, walked to a small night stand. He sat down and asked for a few cups of wine and a plate of peanuts. Just as Xiao Li was about to drink his liquor, he suddenly felt as if someone was staring at him. This made him feel very uncomfortable. He wondered how he had ever felt this way before. He followed the direction in which he felt the gaze from, and saw a thin, middle-aged man looking at him. When he saw Xiao Li look over, he was slightly surprised but quickly recovered. Xiao Li thought to himself, ”How come I can feel him looking at me?” He couldn't think of a reason. Originally, when others looked at him, he wouldn't feel anything.
What Xiao Li didn't know was that he had stayed on the mountain for too long and practiced the movements of the wild beasts every day. After half a year of training, he had unknowingly acquired the instinct of a beast to sense danger. Moreover, during this half year, his cultivation had also greatly improved, so when others were staring at him, they would naturally react. As long as there was something that could threaten him, he could feel it. This was also the nature of wild beasts.
Xiao Li saw that the man had a moustache on his upper lip, and a goatee on his chin. The two fingers of his right hand were twirling and straightening, and his pair of small eyes were very bright. Although Xiao Li had a short stature, he didn't look like a bad person. He raised his glass and smiled at him. When the middle-aged man saw that Xiao Li was actually smiling at him, he returned the smile in return. Xiao Li no longer paid any attention to him. He continued to drink his own wine and send out the worries in his heart.
The middle-aged man left his table and came to Xiao Li's table. He said to Xiao Li, ”Little brother, can elder brother sit here? ”Hehe, when I saw little brother, I felt that you were very friendly, so I took the liberty to come over and have a chat with you.”
Xiao Li didn't hate this person and said, ”Brother, you can do as you like. Moreover, this table isn't mine.”
The middle-aged man said, ”Little brother, those words are too polite. Brother, I will recommend myself. My surname is Zhai, and my name is Zhai, and my name is Zaokong, and my hand is empty, hahaha. ” Xiao Li could only say, ”This little brother's surname is Xiao, and he has a single name.”
”A good name,” Zhai Yingkong replied. ”Wherever it goes, it goes.” Xiao Li said, ”You're too courteous. My name was just randomly chosen.”
Zhai Yingkong said, ”Hur Hur, it's good to be able to get anything you want. It's good to get something.” He thought Xiao Li was joking, but he didn't know that Xiao Li really didn't have a name, so he randomly picked one.
Xiao Li said, ”Old brother Zhai, is there something you want to say to me? I don't think they came here without a reason, do they? ”
Zhai Yingkong laughed, ”Little brother, you are too direct. ”Big Bro originally wanted to blabber on for a bit more, but I didn't think that little brother would have to send the guest away.”
Xiao Li said, ”Then is it possible for this brother to just ask this little brother for a few cups of wine? However, if there's really something, I think it's better to say that it's not too late to drink later. ”
Zhai Yingkong said, ”Hehe, old bro is thirsty right now. Little bro, you don't have to be stingy, give old bro a few cups.”
Xiao Li helplessly smiled and said, ”Alright then. You can't just give me a stingy impression the first time we meet, right? ”Hehe, the stall owner, give me two catties of good stuff for this old man.”
Zhai Yingkong laughed, ”Then thank you, old bro. Haha, you're helping me to death. I'll see if I can enjoy myself today, haha. ”
The stall owner took two catties of white rice and Zhai Ying Kong picked up a bottle of liquor with his hand and gulped it down. When he stopped to rest his mouth, he had already swallowed a jin of food. This made Xiao Li's eyes slightly sour. He had never seen anyone drink like this before. But before he could finish, Zhai ate a handful of peanuts and drank the rest of the water.
Xiao Li could only extend his thumb and say, ”Brother, your alcohol capacity is really good. Do you need more?”
Zhai Yingkong laughed, ”No need, let's save it for little brother.” ”Besides, I've had my fill today, haha.”
Xiao Li said, ”Then, brother, let's eat some more.”
Zhai Yingkong said, ”Hur Hur, little brother, you're not in a hurry anymore. You're actually in the mood to treat me to food.” Didn't you just want me to say what I wanted to say? ”
Xiao Li laughed, ”There's no rush. If your elder brother wants to say it, I will say it even if I don't want to. If your elder brother doesn't want to say it, even if I did, you might not say it.”
Zhai Yingkong said, ”Little brother, you really are something. My brother saw that you seemed to have something on your mind, so he came over to talk to you to relieve his boredom. ”Hur hur, you said that you have something on your mind?”
Xiao Li smiled, ”Is it really just to relieve my boredom? Don't you want to find out something? ”
Zhai Yingkong's eyes lit up. ”Oh, it seems like little brother isn't ordinary!” Tell me, what do you think I should explore? ”
When Xiao Li saw his expression, he knew that he was wrong. He said embarrassedly, ”Haha, I was just bullshitting. Why don't you tell me why you came here?”
Noticing that he wasn't willing to say it, Zhai Yingkong didn't force him and said, ”Hur hur, actually it's nothing much. I'm just here to explain things to little brother.”
