After coming out of Yang Wanli's place, Liu Xuance and I were not in a hurry to return to Hu Baye's place.
Instead, we went back to the city center to find a mutton restaurant and have dinner.
This restaurant is not too remote.
In the alley near Panjiayuan, you can see the shining signboard from a distance.
Liu Xuance said that the food here is good, so I came to try it.
"I just came back from Shanxi and I have to go to Sichuan again," I said somewhat depressedly, holding the wine glass in my hand.
I originally thought that after the giant dragon had completely digested the dragon pill, I would go home and go directly back to Hangzhou, but who knew that something like this would happen midway and I wouldn't even have time to take a breath.
"It's not up to you now whether to go or not.
The Seven Families have obviously started to take action.
You must also be able to tell that we don't have much time.
We don't even know the name of that organization now.
There are Seven Families in front of it and a Royal Family in the back.
"It's too early for you to enjoy family happiness."
Liu Xuance put a large plate of mutton into the pot and said to me through the heat.
I smiled bitterly and shook my head: "Now it seems that it can be said to be a completely extravagant hope, but I am a little reluctant to let go of Xie Si.
Not long after I got married, we have to be separated like this.
I am really sorry for her."
I sighed.
As far as these women are concerned, the one I can’t let go of most is Xie Si, because among these women, Xie Si is the one with the least ability to protect herself.
She is like a peacock.
Following behind me, I was always in danger of all kinds.
If I disappeared one day, I can't even imagine how helpless and sad she would be.
"Don't think so much, brother, come and have a drink."
Seeing that I was a little sad, Liu Xuance said immediately, raised his glass to mine, and drank it down.
"You think you may be too aggrieved now.
In fact, I am more aggrieved than you.
Do you know where this place is?
My wife brought me to the restaurant ten years ago.
Do you know where Beijing is?"
If my wife hadn't died in front of me ten years ago, if Mr.
Hu's family hadn't been here, I might not have had the courage to step into the capital again," Liu Xuance said hoarsely, holding the wine glass in his hand tightly.
"Brother Liu" I glanced at Liu Xuance, feeling a little touched by something in my heart.
Yes, compared to Brother Liu, the suffering I'm suffering now is nothing, I'm afraid it's not even one-tenth. .
I sighed, and then said: "It's really been ten years of life and death."
Liu Xuance laughed, and then said: "Actually, life doesn't need to be as complicated as it seems.
If you love it, you will love it, if you like it, you just know it in your heart.
To be honest, I think about death every day.
I think about it every day."
I was thinking about when I could go down to this place to find my wife.
It was so annoying.
Every day there were things I couldn’t think of.
But I smoked two packs of cigarettes a day and drank until I vomited, but I was still alive.
Better than anyone else.”
"Later, Aunt Yang told me that it was my daughter-in-law, Quanxia Youzhi, who was protecting me.
She didn't want me to die.

Look at our family.
My mother was burned to death when I was so young, and her body was not left intact.
My father was plotted and died on the street.
My wife died in front of my eyes when she was pregnant with her child.
Lin Bei, you are still a step behind me."
Although Liu Xuance said these words with a smile, I could feel it, or I should say I could hear it.
In fact, there was no smile in his heart, and there was no warmth in his eyes.
A man who was so arrogant that even seven families had to give in, now even his temples are turning gray.
Liu Xuance can say that he has a unique talent in the world, but what does that mean?
I am afraid that when people see his glamorous appearance, they ignore the sadness in his heart and the countless scars on his back.
It's just that this man seemed to be extremely strong.
Even though he was bruised and bruised, he never shed a single tear.
"Everyone is brought out."
I muttered to myself as I looked at the steaming hot pot.
"That's a good thing to say."
Liu Xuance picked up a large piece of mutton, rinsed it in the pot, and then put it in his mouth.
He liked to eat mutton this way, and he kept arguing with me that Genghis Khan also ate this way. .
I smiled bitterly, but I have long been used to it by now.
"Then when are we going to Sichuan?"
I said.
Liu Xuance knocked on the table, and then said: "Don't worry, wait until the end of the month.
When Hu Baye and Aunt Yang leave, let Luoyang take the animal back to Hangzhou, and the two of us will leave for Sichuan.
Wait until this happens After we’re done, I’ll make a trip back to Hangzhou.
Calculated, this trip only took three months, which is not too long.”
"This is not a long time.
I have been out for three months at a time, and the New Year has passed four times.
My wife is still waiting for me at home.
Why do I have to finish things quickly this time?
After the New Year, I still have to attend this year's coffin-touching conference.
"My head hurts just thinking about it."
I picked up a fish ball and put it in a bowl, then frowned.
To be honest, I really had a headache.
The Coffin Touching Conference is not held every ten years, nor is it held every four years like the Olympic Games, but once a year.
Although it means reporting on work and accelerating the blood flow of the seven families, I don't think such an activity has any substantive significance.
After all, the strength of each family is displayed here, and not just anyone can do it casually. .
But this form still has to go.
After all, everyone has continued it for so many years, and I, a junior, can’t say much.
Anyway, my grandfather got through it in the same way back then.
Liu Xuance and I were eating, when suddenly the closed door opened, and a cool breeze blew in from the outside.
With my back to the door, I couldn't help but shiver, and subconsciously glanced back.
I saw an old man coming in at the door.
This old man was stooped and thin, but he looked particularly energetic.
His silver hair was plastered to his scalp and he was extremely neat.
Wearing a gray-white coat, in this cold weather, I don't know if the old man knows how to keep warm.
The old man looks very old, and the wrinkles on his face are criss-crossed like tree bark.

There are many things hanging on his waist.
At a glance, he can see Bagua mirror, wisteria gourd, a bunch of keys, and various gadgets.
The things made the old man look particularly weird, especially the round tortoiseshell sunglasses hanging on his eyes, which added a bit of mystery to the old man.
Like a fortune teller on the street.
Originally, they were talking and laughing in the hall, but when the old man came in, all the voices became quiet.
It took a while to calm down, but Liu Xuance and I were almost stunned, and kept staring at the rickety figure at the door.
After the old man entered the door, the door closed automatically.
The hot air in the room was mixed with the scent of mutton, which made the old man sniff.
He turned around and looked in my direction.
He suddenly felt happy and revealed A mouth full of white teeth: "Hey, my emperor is here."
This old man is none other than Ji Wenhou and Ji Hong who have disappeared for who knows how long.
Liu Xuance and I were stunned at this time.
When the young family was invaded by the Wu family and the Lin family, the whole family was wiped out.
Except for the outer disciples, no one was left alive.
However, only this old man ran away.
Let’s not think about Ji Wen.
How did Hou recognize me at a glance even though he was blind?
His attire alone made me dumbfounded.
"Ji Ji Ji Wen Hou" I opened my mouth and said dumbfounded.
"Tsk, tsk, it looks like your emperor is not alone, is there any room for a chair for me?"
Ji Wenhou smiled and walked towards me.
But just from the way he walks, it's completely impossible to tell that Ji Wenhou is blind.
He doesn't use crutches and doesn't stagger when walking.
He looks more like a normal person than a normal person, especially when Ji Wenhou is dressed like this.
It’s really too girly and stylish.
"Yes, yes, you can just come here when you are old.
Just call me Lin Bei, but please don't call me my emperor.
There are many people here.
The speaker is unintentional and the listener is interested."
I quickly pulled up a chair.
Then he smiled bitterly.
This old man is good at everything, but with this look on his face, I really have no choice.
"There is a saying that it's like meeting an old friend in a foreign land after a long drought.
I was just like having a meal of hotpot, but unexpectedly I met an acquaintance, didn't I?
Master Liu Di" Ji Wenhou While sitting on the chair, I touched a pair of chopsticks, tremblingly took out a piece of mutton meat from the pot, and put it into my mouth.
“It tastes right” Liu Xuance and I looked at each other, then put our palms in front of Ji Wenhou's eyes and shook them.
This old man is a bit evil.
He has been blind for so many years, but he still has such strong powers of observation.
Could it be that he is?
As someone who relies on smell to identify people, I'm a little curious, but this can be said to be impossible.
There are so many people in this mutton restaurant, and the smell of mutton makes it extremely difficult to identify a person's taste.
Moreover, Liu Xuance and Ji Wenhou haven't seen each other for who knows how many years.
This obviously doesn't make sense.
"Old man, how did you know that Liu Xuance was sitting next to me?"
I asked curiously.

Ji Wenhou didn't answer, chewing the mutton in his mouth, and then slowly said for a long time: "I know you are here, little friend, from so far away.
As expected from the gossip and rumors I heard a few days ago, Then I guessed that Emperor Liu is by your side.
It seems that you two are doing well, and you still have the guts to show off in such a turbulent time. " "Hey, old man, if you want to say that you are doing well, it should be you.
There has been such a big change in your family.
Not only are you not injured, but you are getting better and better with each passing day."
Liu Xuance narrowed his eyes and smiled
