Qiang Zi was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up. He was about to speak when he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Does the old cripple want to go with me?"
Xiao Bing shook his head and said, "He won't."
"Then I won't go either." The light in Qiang Zi's eyes dissipated, and he said calmly, "I want to stay here and take care of the cripple."
"But you don't have to. The cripple also wants you to leave with me. He doesn't need your care, and he doesn't want to delay you."
"Then I won't go either." Qiang Zi said coldly, "A man must keep his word. If I don't keep my promise after two years, then what can I do even if I learn more skills?"
Xiao Bing fixed his eyes on Qiang Zi, but Qiang Zi also looked at Xiao Bing, and then asked, "Are you angry?"
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "No, I just find it very interesting, because I find that you are more and more like me, even like an enhanced version of me. Well, I won't force you to do what you don't want to do. You go into the house and have a good rest. I'll go out to buy some food, and I'll cook tonight. "
"Let's go together." Qiang Zi limped to the gate of the yard, "I still have something to do. There is a KTV in the suburbs of the capital two kilometers away. Someone went there to make trouble these two days. I promised to help, and I'll pay 500 yuan."
Hearing such mature words from such an 11-year-old boy, Xiao Bing felt both distressed and respectful.
Xiao Bing agreed and followed Qiang Zi. They left the yard together, and Xiao Bing asked, "So you won't come back for dinner tonight?"
"I'll treat you to a drink tonight." Qiang Zi suddenly smiled, "Although I'm young, I can drink a lot."
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Really? Then I'll have a good look at it tonight."
After they left the yard, they soon parted ways. Xiao Bing found a vegetable market, bought some vegetables and meat, and then took them back to the cabin and began to cook in the kitchen. Because he was an orphan, Xiao Bing learned to be independent very early, so his cooking skills were quite good.
Ear was sleeping in the room. It took Xiao Bing more than an hour to prepare the meal. Then he opened the door. Ear on the bed could not hear anything, but he was extremely sensitive to vibrations, so he knew when Xiao Bing opened the door.
Xiao Bing opened his eyes when he saw his ears. He said with a smile, "It's time to eat. I'll bring the food in. Have a look at my cooking."
Xiao Bing set up the dining table in the room and then placed the dishes on it. There were four dishes in total, including steamed rice. Xiao Bing also found a bottle of white wine according to the position pointed by Ear. He sat down and opened the bottle. He poured a glass for himself and Ear. Xiao Bing said with a smile, "It's just a warm-up."
Ear laughed and said, "Are you really going to have a good drink with that kid? He's just a kid. "
Xiao Bing asked, "Do you regard him as a child? I know he's a child, but I don't dare to treat him like one, because that would be disrespectful to him. "
"Looks like you really know him well," the Ear sighed. "Handing him over to you was the right choice."
"Unfortunately, I'm afraid he won't leave with me." Xiao Bing shrugged and said, "I've already talked to him. This child is very stubborn, but since he insists, then he will continue to stay by your side. Uncle Ear, I think the set of punches you taught him is very clever. I think in terms of martial arts, you may not be worse than me."
"If that's the case …" Ear thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll teach him for the time being. If one day I'm gone, then I'll entrust him to you."
"You're gone?" Xiao Bing was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where are you going, Uncle Ear?"
"People's lifespans are always limited." "I'm not young anymore, and the state of my body is obvious. I think I'll have to leave sooner or later. I really hope that day will come, but time waits for no man. Some things will happen sooner or later, and I don't think I can hold on for more than a few years …" Ears seemed very casual when he said this, without any hint of sadness in his voice. "I'm not young anymore, and the state of my body is very obvious. I think I'll have to leave sooner or later.
Xiao Bing frowned and said nervously, "Uncle Ear, you're also a martial artist. What does age mean to a martial artist? What's more, although you're not young, you shouldn't say such discouraging words. "
Ear laughed, raised his glass, and said with a smile, "What's the point of saying this? I'm already very happy to see you grow so fast. Come, let's have a drink."
Xiao Bing clinked glasses with Ear and drank all the wine in the glass, but he still felt a little distracted. Xiao Bing was still a little uneasy about what Ear had just said. He thought that he should invite Zhang Yizhi over to let Ear have a look, but he still needed Ear's consent. So it was better to talk to Ear about this after drinking. Talking about this now would spoil the mood.
So the two of them began to chat casually. After they finished eating and drinking, Yi Er put down his chopsticks and praised, "Your culinary skills are really good."
"Yeah." Xiao Bing couldn't help but feel a little proud after hearing this. He said with a smile, "I used to be a chef in a noodle house in Jiang City. At that time, the noodle house's business was very good. Of course, it's not bad now."
Ear said with a smile, "That's good. Your future wife will be blessed. By the way, when will you and Miss Ye get married? "
Xiao Bing hesitated a little. This matter had become a sore point in Xiao Bing's heart. Looking at Xiao Bing's expression, Ear frowned and asked, "Are there any twists and turns?"
Xiao Bing told Ear about his current situation. After listening, Ear looked at Xiao Bing with a complicated gaze and said, "You really are a sentimental person. This matter is easy to handle. For example, emigrate to another country. If you say it's difficult, it's because you don't want to emigrate yet. But although you are young, it's better for you to get married and have children as soon as possible. You have to carry on the Xiao family's bloodline. While you are still young, you have to have the energy to carefully cultivate the next generation."
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "I don't have to worry about successors. The most important thing now is that certificate. As long as I can get married, everything will be easy. Alas, it's a pity that I can't find someone who can make the whole nation grateful to me. "
Ear thought for a moment, but couldn't think of any way. He had to say, "Then we can only continue to wait for the opportunity."
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "It's okay. I'll think of a way slowly. Uncle Ear, you should be sleepy after drinking. If you're sleepy, go to bed early. I'll clean up the table. I'll sleep with Qiangzi in another room tonight. You don't have to worry about us."
"Okay."
"Oh, by the way, Uncle Ear, I almost forgot to tell you. How about I ask Mr. Zhang Yizhi to come and check your body one day? Mr. Zhang's medical skills are amazing. "
"There's no need." Ear shook his head and said, "I know my body better than anyone else. Even if he's the reincarnation of Hua Tuo, he can't do anything about it. Life and death are decreed by fate, and some things can't be forced."
Xiao Bing always felt a sense of uneasiness from Ear's words. But since Ear said that there was no need to find Zhang Yizhi, Xiao Bing could not force it. He had to give up. Finally, he sighed and said, "Then if Uncle Ear changes his mind one day, you must tell me."
"Don't worry, I will."
Xiao Bing cleaned up the table and washed the dishes. Then he went back to the room and called Yezi. Then he called Liu Kexin. Because Liu Kexin was not usually in the Xiao Mansion, the Kunlun Sect ignored her at that time. She didn't escape to Jingdu with them. Xiao Bing was also relieved. At least one less person was involved.
It was just that he had been missing for so long, and he hadn't seen Liu Kexin since he came back. He hadn't seen Liu Kexin for more than two months. Thinking about it, he really felt sorry for Liu Kexin. So Xiao Bing often called or video-called Liu Kexin these days. He also said that he would go back in a few days and then bring Liu Kexin to live in the Xiao Mansion for a few days.
After chatting with Liu Kexin for more than half an hour, Xiao Bing heard voices at the door. Then Qiangzi came in with cooked food and two bottles of liquor.
Xiao Bing smiled and said to Liu Kexin on the phone, "Let's not talk today. I'm drinking with a little brother. I'll call you tomorrow."
"Okay." Liu Kexin's voice was as gentle as ever. "Drink less and go to bed early. Then I'll go to bed first. Good night."
"Good night, Kexin."
After hanging up, Xiao Bing put the phone away. Qiangzi asked, "Are you calling your girlfriend?"
Xiao Bing laughed and said, "Yes, you know a lot."
"I'm not a three-year-old child anymore."
Most people would find it interesting to hear a boy who was just in his early teens say this. Xiao Bing thought so, but it was not wrong. Qiangzi might not only not be a three-year-old child, but even more mature than the average college youth. Just like Xiao Bing, Xiao Bing remembered that he was already very mature at this age, far more mature than other children of the same age.
Xiao Bing turned over and got out of bed. He took a small table on the ground to the wooden bed, and then they sat cross-legged. Qiangzi said seriously, "Drink!"
