The years I was a birdman

Chapter 243 The Eve of the Duel

In the world, there has never been a banquet that lasts forever.

Banquet, this special cultural form always seems to be linked with some reunion and parting. After drinking this glass of wine, several young people are about to go on the road. The last meal together, after all, is a matter of the future, and how many people now will think about the future?

Zhang Shifei was drunk again. After he was drunk, the world he could see in front of his eyes was not muddy, but even worse. The three people on the side were wandering around, as if they were very happy. The same is true for Cai Handong, his eyes are red, he keeps blinking, tears can't stop flowing, but his mouth is indeed upturned, he is smiling, because of the different forms in his heart dream.

A dream is a seed, no matter how much effort you put in for it, you still don’t know what color its blooming flowers will be.

When will my flowers bloom?

Thinking so, Zhang Shifei smiled, then raised the wine bottle again, pretending it was just water, and poured it into his stomach with a gurgle.

Their meal lasted until two o'clock in the middle of the night, and they still didn't leave. At the end, Mr. Cui put his arms around Cai Handong's shoulders and sang again, but Zhang Shifei couldn't hear what he sang anymore. What was it? It wasn't on the tune at all. Yi Xinxing vomited after drinking, and when he came back, he was still clamoring for hunger. He really didn't understand what his stomach was made of.

So he called the waiter, and when the little sister with black silk came into the room, Yi Xinxing kept asking her: "Sister, sister, what's the name of your chef? Is it shark's fin?"

The little girl frowned, looking at the man with the broken arm in front of him, Zhang Shifei reckoned that the little girl must be cursing in her heart now: dead drunk, order as you want, check your household registration.

Of course, this is just the idea of ​​the right and wrong. Obviously, the waiters who can work in this kind of shop are very good-hearted. You must know that most of the people who come here to eat are rich and wealthy, and they talk molestingly. It's still light, even if you touch you, don't you just bear it?

Thinking about it, this disabled person is okay, at least she added a word of please when she spoke, unlike some old helpers who sometimes talk with their parents and mothers, so she put on a smile and looked at Then Yi Xinxing said: "Don't bark...what's the matter?"

Yi Xinxing smiled, and then said, "It's okay, come and get me some fried rice with shark's fin."

Dizzy, Zhang Shifei smiled wryly, he looked at Yi Xinxing, thinking that this grandson is really rough and delicate, probably because he listened too much to Guo Degang's cross talk, he was afraid that he would not be able to find three pairs of chopsticks for a plate of fish and fried rice to shark fin.

The little girl probably reflected it, so she pursed her lips and laughed, and when she was about to go out, Cai Handong yelled from behind: "Girl, treat your cat well, it was your man in the previous life .”

Cai Handong drank too much, Zhang Shifei looked at him, but didn't smile, because he knew that the boy's eyes must have flared up again, it seems that what he said was right, it really happened more and more frequently, if it goes on like this , it won't take long, he may really lose sight of everything.

Fortunately, the little girl just took Cai Handong's words as drunken words, but she was quite puzzled, why does this kid know that my family has a cat?
The more he drank, the more Mr. Cui looked at Zhang Shifei who hadn't spoken for a long time, and asked him, "What's wrong with you, what are you thinking?"

Zhang Shifei shook his head, and then said to Mr. Cui, "I'm thinking about something I haven't thought about before."

"Oh? What is it?" Mr. Cui smiled, Yi Xinxing was eating the shark fin fried rice with his head buried in front of him, and Cai Handong finally gave up, leaning on the chair and panting heavily.

I don't know why, since the fairy bone was refined, the angle of view of things around him has also changed. As mentioned before, his state of mind at this time is different from that of earlier days.

After all, he was going to the Snake Cave Mountain to participate in the duel between the egg monsters. He had to say something now, so he mustered up his courage and said to Mr. Cui, "Thank you."

"What?" Mr. Cui was stunned. He looked at Zhang Shifei, thinking when will this brat learn to say thank you?Could it be that he was drunk?

Zhang Shifei was naturally not drunk. Although he drank a lot of alcohol, but now his mind is clear, he sighed, and then said to Mr. Cui: "I say thank you, thank you for helping me so much, church You have given me so much, without you, maybe what I would be like now... Well, I don't know how to speak, anyway, thank you."

When Mr. Cui saw Zhang Shifei thanking him, his face became a little depressed. He didn't know why, but he took out his cigarette, lit it, took a sharp puff, and then took half of the bottle in front of him in one breath. After pouring all the wine into his stomach, he said to Zhang Shifei without wiping his mouth, "Actually...you don't have to say thank you to me...it should be me who said thank you."

What's the situation?Zhang Shifei was stunned for a moment. He looked at Mr. Cui. An inexplicable sadness appeared on the half of his face at this time. Zhang Shifei didn't speak, because he knew in his heart that even if Mr. Cui spoke, he would definitely He said what he wanted to say, so he also lit a cigarette and quietly waited for Mr. Cui's answer.

I saw that Mr. Cui threw the cigarette he had only smoked on the ground, chopped it off with his foot, and then said to the right and wrong: "Do you know what is 'five disadvantages and three disadvantages'?"

Impressed, Zhang Shifei nodded, saying that in this world, if you want to get power, you have to pay the same price, because in the real world, there is no such thing as getting something for nothing. The same is true for human beings. Think about what the old lamp Chen Tuan told Zhang Shifei before, because human beings are the spirits of all things and can enjoy things that animals cannot enjoy. Because of this, if they want to practice Taoism, It is about to suffer a crueler curse than giving up two kalpas.

Five evils and three deficiencies are the name of this curse. Compared with four and two kalpas, this person's five evils and three deficiencies are more disgusting, but Zhang Shifei really can't think of the specific disgusting method, after all This was all a few months ago, and I heard it a few times when I was working here with Mr. Cui, but Zhang Shifei didn't have the time to pay attention to this at that time.

So, Zhang Shifei said to Mr. Cui: "Well, I heard you said, what's the matter."

Mr. Cui smiled wryly, and then said to Zhang Shifei: "Actually, I have always known you quite well. This is not a lie. Maybe, in this world, I know you better than anyone else. Do you know why? ?”

Where do I know where to go? Brother, are you drunk? Zhang Shifei was even more confused after hearing what Mr. Cui said. Seeing him shaking his head, Mr. Cui sighed to him: "Because, I am too Cursed by fate."

What?Zhang Shifei was stunned. He looked at Mr. Cui. At this time, his expressions on both sides were surprisingly synchronized. A vicissitudes, this kind of look, it is difficult to describe in words, if you have to use Zhang Shifei's not-so-rich vocabulary to explain, Zhang Shifei will choose to use the word 'despair'.

It was simply a look of despair.

But Zhang Shifei suddenly remembered something after hearing what Mr. Cui said!Yes, how did I just remember it!If you say that this split is not a cultivator!Could it be that he also has this curse on him?Wait, so to speak, all the people in Fuzetang are living under the curse?
Including Yi Xinxing, including Liu Yudi?And that Uncle Lin, are they all there?This joke is a bit big.

Zhang Shifei swallowed, and then said to Mr. Cui in a trembling voice: "Separate... You said you are also burdened with a curse, is that what five disadvantages and three disadvantages?"

Mr. Cui nodded, pointed at Yi Xinxing who was picking up shark fin with chopsticks with his chin, and said, "That's right, in fact, all the people in Fuzetang are cursed to varying degrees, just like this This position, Lao Yi is a man who commits a disability, it has been fulfilled, look at his hands."

It turned out that this is how Yi Xinxing's disability came about. Zhang Shifei wiped off his cold sweat, licked his slightly dry lower lip, and said to Mr. Cui, "What about you?"

Mr. Cui smiled wryly, then scratched his hair, and said to Zhang Shifei, "Did you forget that I told you before that there is a kind of people in the world who can only live by pistols?"

Zhang Shifei's eyes widened suddenly. Unexpectedly, no matter how much he really thought about it, he couldn't imagine that Mr. Cui's curse was the same as the phantom body on him! !Zhang Shifei was very surprised at this time. He opened his mouth unconsciously, but couldn't say a word. He always thought that he was the saddest person in the world, but he didn't expect that Mr. Cui was worse than him. Be sad.

"I didn't intend to tell you." Mr. Cui smiled bitterly, and then said to Zhang Shifei: "Actually, your phantom body is not bad. After all, it has many loopholes and is very loose."

Mr. Cui is a lonely person, and he cannot have love in his life. If he makes a slight mistake, he may harm himself or the people around him. Mr. Cui told the right and wrong, if Mr. Cui treats Liu Yudi like Zhang Shifei treated Liang Yuner, It is estimated that Liu Yudi has already died by now.

People who practice Taoism are so cruel. When Mr. Cui said this, Yi Xinxing on the side also finished eating. While picking his teeth with a toothpick, he quietly listened to the conversation between Mr. Cui and Zhang Shifei. His expression, at this moment Also full of emotions, Mr. Cui opened another bottle of beer, poured it into the glass, and said to Zhang Shifei: "So, when I saw you for the first time, I felt very kind. , just like meeting the same kind, I understand your mood very well, the feeling of wanting to love but not being able to love, because how long ago, I also survived this state of mind, you are very bitter, this kind of suffering is No one else can understand it at all.”

Zhang Shifei's tears were rolling in his eyes after what he said, finally someone understood him, his uncle, why do I want to cry so much now?Thinking about it before, he always thought that even if he had a partner, only he could understand his own suffering, but now he found out that he was actually a big fool.

It was not he who suffered.

In this world, it turns out that there really is fate. Things of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. A group of people who are also burdened with different curses gather together for the same purpose, to save those who do not have curses. God. , aren't you being sarcastic?

Zhang Shifei smiled wryly, then sighed to Mr. Cui: "So that's the case, why didn't you tell Fatty and me earlier?"

Mr. Cui wiped his hair with his hands, revealing his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, Yi Xinxing took the first step and said to Zhang Shifei with a smile: "What's the use of telling you? This kind of thing It’s not for showing off.”

Indeed, this kind of thing is really not for showing off. It turns out that no matter how high-spirited people are, there are unknown bitterness behind their backs. Think about it. I have only experienced this illusion body for a few months, and I once had According to what Mr. Cui told him before, Mr. Cui should be the kind of person who practiced Taoism since he was a child. So, hasn't he survived this desperate curse for many years?

The atmosphere seemed to be a little depressed again, no one said a word, just sitting quietly like this, only the sound of Cai Handong leaning on the chair panting, after a long time, Mr. Cui finally spoke, He murmured to Zhang Shifei: "Actually, I'm telling you this now just to let you know that I'm not actually trying to help you selflessly.

"What?" Zhang Shifei couldn't figure out what he meant. Thinking about himself and the fat man coming back from Yingzhou, the first thing he saw was Mr. Cui, and the rest of the days, he came here logically. Well, in his heart, although Mr. Cui is a bit stingy, he is loyal enough and will not lose the chain at critical moments.

But why is he saying this now?

Mr. Cui and Yi Xinxing looked at each other, Yi Xinxing shrugged, Mr. Cui smiled wryly, and then said to Zhang Zhengfei: "You know that the battle between us and the egg demon was not planned by me, right? .”

Zhang Shifei nodded and said, "Didn't you say that there are people called the Big Three in Northeast China?"

"That's not one, it's three." Mr. Cui said, "Those are the three wild fairies who protect the Northeast, just like your master Chang Tianqing, they first found out about the egg demon, and then entrusted me to do it." Yes, but my position in this matter is, after all, just an intermediary, and the two people chosen by fate are you and Li Lanying."

Hearing what he said, Zhang Shifei quickly replied: "Didn't you tell me about this before? Speaking of which, I thought it was a business. Really, I do things for them, and they help them." I lift the curse on me."

After Zhang Shifei finished speaking, Mr. Cui took another big sip of wine and lowered his head as if he was thinking about something. Finally, he raised his head and said to the Zhang Shifei: "Business... oh, I quite agree with you." That's what I said, because after completing this matter, I, the intermediary, will also have the same remuneration."

Speaking of this, Mr. Cui said to Zhang Shifei with some shame: "Actually, at the beginning, I didn't want to go to this muddy water, because speaking of it, I hate you guys. I wanted to act on my own, but, in the end, you know."

Zhang Shifei didn't speak. He remembered the first time he and Li Lanying met Mr. Cui. Mr. Cui was really bored at that time.

I only heard Mr. Cui muttering: "Business, alas, you don't need to thank me at all. To some extent, this is really just a transaction, really."

"How is it possible!!!" After Mr. Cui finished speaking, Zhang Shifei stood up immediately, and then said to Mr. Cui with a very excited expression: "How could it be just a transaction? Do you think I am blind?!"

Mr. Cui looked at Zhang Shifei without words, and Zhang Shifei shouted at him: "I thank you because you are worthy of my respect! No matter why, without you, there are some truths that I will never understand. Moreover, I know that you help me from the bottom of your heart, otherwise, you don't need to lend me money at all, and you don't need to help me with everything..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Shifei's excited eye sockets were a little red, he wiped his eyes indiscriminately, and then said to Mr. Cui: "I know, you hated me at first, but now that you think about it, even I don't like you. I hated myself at the time, but you never gave up on me! Thank you, break up, no matter it was then, now, or in the future, I will think so!"

Zhang Shifei has indeed changed. Seeing what Zhang Shifei was about to say to him, Mr. Cui's eyes were a little moist. He sighed, and then said to Zhang Shifei: "You boy, you are still so easy to fool... ..."

Even though he said so, he turned his head at this moment, and 'inadvertently' passed his eyes. What Zhang Shifei said was all the truth. No matter what Mr. Cui's original purpose was, even if it was a business, But his feelings for Zhang Shifei are true, and Mr. Cui thought the same way. At the beginning, he hated these two prodigal sons quite a lot, but after several incidents, Mr. Cui gradually discovered that, in fact, These two people are not bad, at least their hearts are not bad, they are like two stones soaked in a mud pit for a long time, the surface is black when they are just dug out, but the inside is indeed clean, and Zhang Shifei is still with him. Mr. Cui had the same fate. Mr. Cui seemed to see his own shadow in Zhang Shifei more than once.

Maybe there shouldn't be too many words between men. When men talk a lot, they are usually drunk. Zhang Shifei laughed when he saw what Mr. Cui said, and then swore to Mr. Cui: "Don't worry, I will work hard, we will all get rid of this disgusting curse! Definitely..."

"Okay, okay." Yi Xinxing signaled Zhang Shifei to stop talking, then he hiccupped, stood up, and said to the two of them, "You two are mothers-in-law, why are you talking so much?" Ah, come to drink, it's all in the wine!"

After Jing Yi Xinxing said this, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, "Yes, drink!" Mr. Cui also stood up, then raised the wine bottle in his hand, touched it with the two of them, and issued a Crisp sound.

The night was already very deep, so deep that it was about to dawn.

Cai Handong didn't know why he went back. When he woke up, it was almost noon the next day. He found that the other three people had already woken up. After drinking and drinking, they had already changed their clothes. Mr. Cui said to him, we are going to the duel place in two hours, you should get ready.

Cai Handong nodded, and then packed his luggage, he was a little puzzled, why do these three people seem to be in a different mental state today than they were a few days ago?

Especially the right and wrong, Cai Handong felt that today he looked quite calm, and he was quite different from the hesitant look when he first arrived in Longjiang. Maybe this is the effect of practice?

Cai Handong didn't understand that Zhang Shifei really didn't have any fear in his heart at this time, yes, why should he be afraid?I am not alone, and I have good friends and brothers by my side. Thinking of this, Zhang Shifei's heart is full of fighting spirit, because there is another brother waiting for him in the distance.
