"Brother Nie, choose one!" Fang Tong mischievously looked at Nie Li. The two of them originally wanted to take Nie Li away from the ordinary restaurant, but Bai Lu proposed to take Nie Li here to broaden his horizons. However, only she knew that Bai Lu wanted to see Nie Li make a fool of himself.
"This." Nie Li stuttered and couldn't say a word for a long time. Instead, he felt more shy. His face became redder, like a cooked shrimp.
"Rest assured, these are all artists. They will only accompany you to drink and eat." Fang Tong poured herself a glass of wine and then pulled one away. Bai Lu saw Fang Tong pull Peony away and also hooked her finger at Youlan.
"Brother, leave this Chun Mei to you. She has a lot of fate with you. Look at your clothes, they are all plum blossoms." Fang Tong joked. Nie Li had no choice but to let Chun Mei sit beside him and then didn't say a word. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Fang Tong and Bai Lu were hot with the woman. Although Bai Lu usually didn't smile, she was also talkative. However, Nie Li had nothing to say to Chun Mei. He didn't know how to open his mouth. Listening to Fang Tong's words, he felt that he really couldn't say it.
"Why are you called Chun Mei?" Nie Li asked. He just felt that it was a little strange to be silent like this, especially when Fang Tong and Bai Lu were looking at him jokingly.
"Then what's your name?" Chun Mei's voice was a little hoarse, different from other women's clear and bright. She didn't answer Nie Li's words, but took the initiative to ask a question.
"Nie Li." Nie Li didn't hesitate. He just felt that this woman was different. Others used their beauty to climb up to others, but she just sat here and didn't say anything.
"First time to come to this place!" Chun Mei looked at Nie Li's restrained appearance, her eyes flashed a trace of softness and a trace of smile.
"Well, what is this place?" Nie Li raised his head and asked. Etiquette, justice, integrity and shame are still very important to the world. Therefore, this knowledge is very distant and strange for Nie Li, who lived by the river since childhood.
"Brothel is a place where men and women have fun together." Chun Mei looked at Nie Li's blank look and had a moment of disbelief, but when she met his eyes, she knew that she was wrong.
The calmness and profoundness hid a vulnerability and purity that was not easily discovered. She must have seen those eyes somewhere before. This thought in Chun Mei's heart grew stronger and stronger.
Nie Li hurriedly drank a mouthful of wine and ate a few mouthfuls of food. He lowered his head and no longer spoke. "Where's Chun Mei? Wang Ma, call Chun Mei over for me." "Young Master Wei, Chun Mei has already gone to receive the guest. "I don't care. I just want Chunmei. If you don't give it to me, then I'll kill that person and snatch Chunmei."
There was a commotion outside. After she finished speaking, the door of the room was pushed open. Wei Wuyou's face was red. He held a wine pot and looked around with a drunk face. When he saw Chun Mei, he hurried over.
"Chun Mei, I finally found you." Wei Wuyou stepped forward and grabbed Chun Mei's slender hand, wanting to drag her away.
"Young Master Wei, I'm sorry. Chunmei already has a guest today." Chun Mei shook off Wei Wuyou's hand, causing the latter's face to turn ugly. He stared at the man beside Chun Mei and realized that it was actually Nie Li. He laughed loudly.
"What's wrong, Chun Mei? You didn't accompany me because of this damn cripple?"
Chun Mei glanced at Nie Li. Ever since she came in, Nie Li had been sitting there. She never thought that he would be a cripple. However, it was a pity that he was so good-looking.
"Scram." Nie Li gently placed the wine cup on the table and coldly shouted. Nie Li originally didn't have a good impression of Wei Wuyou. Last time, when he saw him together with Qin Xinyin, his heart was filled with disgust.
Thinking of Qin Xinyin, Nie Li recalled that devastatingly beautiful face. That woman who could understand his flute music, that woman who could play the zither for him when he was practicing his blade. He couldn't help but miss her and feel heartache.
"What's wrong, little cripple? You were abandoned by Miss Qin and came here to play with women?" Wei Wuyou coldly ridiculed. Qin Xinyin was the source of his jealousy of Nie Li. However, now that Nie Li could appear here, coupled with the previous incident. He was afraid that he and Qin Xinyin had already broken up.
"If you don't scram, I'll kill you." Nie Li swung his right hand and a silver light streaked across Wei Wuyou's face. A strand of hair fell down. Behind Wei Wuyou, a silver chopstick had already been inserted into the wooden pillar. The end of the chopstick was still trembling.
"Good brat, just you wait." Wei Wuyou's face changed. He never thought that someone would dare to provoke him like this. However, he discovered that Bai Lu and Fang Tong were also here. Although he didn't know Fang Tong, he knew Bai Lu. Moreover, from Fang Tong's aura, he knew that she wasn't an ordinary person.
Avoiding the sharp edge, Wei Wuyou first retreated. Then, his face darkened and he couldn't help cursing. After Wei Wuyou left, Fang Tong said, "It's a shame that the Iron Chain Gang has such a person."
"If it weren't for the protection of my father, I would have killed such a person with a single slap." Bai Lu was a little unhappy because Wei Wuyou had disturbed her mood.
"Since you have killing intent, you should kill." Nie Li's words made the wine cups in Fang Tong and Bai Lu's hands tremble. The two of them just said it, but because of the Iron Chain Gang, they didn't dare to do anything to Wei Wuyou. Looking at Nie Li, from his words, they could tell that he dared to kill Wei Wuyou.
Words follow one's heart, kill, a grudge, life and death are not important.
As the three of them toasted each other, the little episode brought about by Wei Wuyou did not affect their mood at all. After eating and drinking to their heart's content, Fang Tong took out a bag of silver from her bosom and rewarded the three of them.
"Brother, let's go." Fang Tong helped the drunk Nie Li up and was about to get up and leave. Nie Li, who was on Fang Tong's shoulder, looked back at Chun Mei and asked again.
"Why are you called Chun Mei? Don't plum blossoms only grow in winter?" Nie Li asked his doubts. In his impression, plum blossoms grew in winter and bloomed in the wind and snow.
"Indeed, plum blossoms only grow in winter. However, the plum blossoms in early spring, when all things are recovering, when winter passes, they bloom their final beauty." Chun Mei glanced at Nie Li, the corner of her mouth lifted into a rare smile.
Nie Li also smiled and immediately fell asleep. Fang Tong and Bai Lu carried Nie Li away, one on the left and one on the right. Only the three of them were left in the room. Peony opened the money bag and happily stuffed the money into the other two's hands.
Chun Mei casually put the money on the table, said a word of thanks, and then sat there. Peony and Youlan got up and left. They knew Chun Mei and knew her temperament, so they simply went to receive the other guests.
Looking at the wine cup that Nie Li drank from, Chun Mei filled it up for herself and brought it to her mouth. Just as she was about to drink it in one gulp, her right hand trembled. She saw her own blurry face in the sparkling wine. Although it was very small and blurry, she instantly realized one thing.
The thing that she had been looking for, she found it. She had been thinking about why she felt that Nie Li's eyes were familiar, but now that she saw her own eyes, she knew.
Revealing a brilliant smile, a tear fell from the corner of her eye and fell into the wine cup. She raised her head and drank it. This was the first time she didn't resist this place. She hoped that she could see those eyes again.
The carriage was moving on the road. Although the coachman had already kept it steady, the bumps from time to time still made Nie Li's stomach churn. He hurriedly covered his mouth and cried out. Fang Tong understood and hurriedly told the coachman to stop. Nie Li ran down and began to vomit.
"Aowu" The food and wine just now rushed up together. His throat was congested, and the tears squeezed out from the corner of his eyes. For a moment, Nie Li's entire face was dirty. He gasped for breath and stood on the side of the road.
As the cold wind blew, Nie Li's head finally cleared a little. He wanted to use his sleeve to wipe it, but seeing that it was the clothes that Fang Tong gave him, he was a little reluctant.
"Are you okay? Here's the handkerchief. " A crisp voice rang in Nie Li's ear. Nie Li turned his head and saw a woman in a white robe with red hair. Her eyebrows were picturesque, her cherry lips were small, and her figure was tall. Although her appearance was not as outstanding as Qin Xinyin's, the combination of her whole face was very beautiful, making people unable to help but want to get close to her.
She handed over a handkerchief. Nie Li hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took it. He wiped the dirt off his face, then folded the handkerchief and put it in his bosom.
"Miss, I'll return this handkerchief to you after I wash it." Nie Li opened his mouth and said. Although he was somewhat unwilling to accept it, looking at the other party's soft eyes and gentle temperament, he felt very comfortable and didn't think too much about it.
After the woman heard Nie Li's voice, she didn't speak at first, but her body suddenly trembled and she involuntarily said, "It's you!" One hand pointed at Nie Li, the other hand covered her mouth.
"Do we know each other?" Nie Li looked at the woman in puzzlement. Since childhood, he had known very few girls. But he had no impression of this woman.
"Don't you remember? It was that day when you killed the two black clothed men. The two of them kidnapped me. " After the woman finished speaking, Nie Li suddenly realized. He remembered that day's matter. At that time, because it was already late and there were many people in the mansion, he didn't see the woman that he saved. He didn't expect to meet her today.
"I also heard your voice and felt that it was very familiar. Only then did I remember. Young hero, thank you very much for your help that night. Please accept this little girl's bow. " The woman didn't expect that he really was her savior. A beautiful smile bloomed on her face. She didn't expect to meet the person she had been looking for when she went out shopping tonight.
"I saw injustice on the road and drew my sword to help. Miss is too serious." Nie Li wanted to use his hand to help the woman up, but he felt that it was somewhat rude.
"May I know young hero's name?" The woman asked.
"Nie Li."
"This little girl is Tian Zijin."
"Miss Tian doesn't need to be so polite. I only did what I could."
"I will return this handkerchief to Miss Tian." Nie Li cupped his hands and bowed.
"There's no need to be so polite. It's just a handkerchief. To be able to meet my benefactor is already very fortunate." Tian Zijin's voice was soft, but there was a hint of fear on her face. She was worried that Nie Li was tired of her.
"If anyone still wants to wait, then I will leave. I will definitely thank Miss Tian later. " After Nie Li finished speaking, he left. Tian Zijin watched as his limping body disappeared into the crowd and boarded a horse carriage in the distance.
