Chapter 828: Why do you have to know each other?
Although the old man just casually looked around the surrounding environment, Qu Lingfei really felt that when he saw that he was watching them, he still showed a little vigilance.
However, he did not show any hesitation, after all, in such weather, it is normal to see people staying in the gazebo at night, and it is human nature to take a few more glances in curiosity.
Qu Lingfei suddenly felt a little sympathetic, she was alone on the rivers and lakes, although she didn't worry about eating and drinking, but she was always lonely and alone, and it was not a taste after all, what is the difference between her and these people living on the streets?
After hesitating for a while, Qu Lingfei decided to visit the two special people.
When he walked out of Yuxian Tower, Qu Lingfei was holding three drawers of steamed buns in his hand, so that he was steaming hot and exuding an attractive fragrance.
Qu Lingfei walked lightly to the outside of the pavilion, then bowed slightly and said:
"Good evening senior, the little girl Qu Lingfei took the liberty to disturb and came to visit!"
The old man with a white beard opened his eyes slightly, looked at Qu Lingfei and said:
"Little girl, this is ...... Do you want to treat us to steamed buns? ”
When the old man spoke, the little boy had already opened his eyes because he smelled the fragrance of the buns, he looked at Qu Lingfei curiously, and then looked at the buns she was carrying.
When Qu Lingfei heard the old man's question, she smiled lightly and said:
"I ate alone, I had no appetite, I just saw the two of you resting in this pavilion, so I wanted to come over and share together, I wonder if the seniors welcome it?"
The old man hesitated slightly, then said with a smile:
"Please come in, it's good to be able to eat steaming steamed buns in this weather!"
Qu Lingfei walked into the pavilion and said gratefully:
"Thank you, senior, come, let's eat while it's hot!"
As he spoke, he put the three drawers of buns in the middle of the two people, squatted down casually, untied the lid of the steamer, and handed each of them a pair of chopsticks.
The steamer is not big, and there are twelve delicate little buns inside, and although the weather is very cold, the buns are still hot because the lid has been covered.
The old man took the chopsticks and said with a smile:
"It's always been only the people who eat, the owner said thank you, you invited us to eat steamed buns, why did you thank me instead?"
Qu Lingfei said with a smile:
"I thank you for eating steamed buns with me, eating alone, it's tasteless, someone to share it with, it feels much more delicious."
After the little boy took the chopsticks, he didn't immediately pick up the bun, although he couldn't help but swallow his saliva quietly, and his eyes were faintly shining when he looked at the bun.
Qu Lingfei first sandwiched a bun by herself, put it in her mouth, and ate it with relish.
The old man looked at the little boy and said:
"Seeing that you are so greedy, just eat!"
As he spoke, he also stretched out his chopsticks, took one and put it in his mouth to eat.
When the little boy saw that both of them had eaten, he immediately quickly put one in his mouth, chewed it three or two times, and swallowed it.
Qu Lingfei immediately invited:
"Eat quickly, you're welcome, while it's hot!"
The old man chewed and ate slowly, and said:
"Eat it as soon as you can, don't look at me, such a delicious bun, it's not delicious when it's cold."
The little boy continued to stretch out his chopsticks, and put another one in his mouth, this meat-filled bun, eating it in his mouth, the corners of his mouth were oily, and the little boy said vaguely while eating:
"This bun is so fragrant, it's the first time I've eaten such a delicious bun, thank you sister for your treat!"
Qu Lingfei said with a smile:
"You're welcome, you're welcome, seeing that you eat so deliciously, my appetite has improved a lot, it should be that I thank you for eating with me."
While eating, she looked at the little boy, who was far away before, and it was night, although there was a lantern illuminating, but it was hazy and could not really be seen, and now it was close, in the bright light of the lantern, the little boy's face was flushed, and he looked very beautiful, and at first glance, people couldn't help but feel that he was very cute.
So, she casually praised:
"Little brother, you are so handsome, what's your name?"
The little boy replied vaguely as he ate:
"My name is Wu Hate, sister, you are also very beautiful, you just said that your name is Qu Lingfei, right? Then I'll call you Sister Qu, okay? ”
Qu Lingfei inexplicably felt that this child was very kind, and she actually had a sense of déjà vu, but she had never seen this child!
After listening to the little boy's words, Qu Lingfei immediately nodded and said:
"Okay, okay, you can call me Sister Qu! Your name is so unique, who gave it to you? ”
The little boy didn't seem to think about this question, and tilted his little head to think for a while before he replied:
"Is our name unique? I didn't think so, and I don't know who took it, anyway, grandpa kept calling me that. ”
At this point, the little boy looked at the old man and asked:
"Grandpa, did you take my name?"
The old man shook his head and replied:
"No, it was your mother."
After he replied simply, he didn't seem to want to say anything more on this issue, so he changed the topic to Qu Lingfei and said:
"Little girl, is this a person who wanders the rivers and lakes alone? Did you run away from home because of a conflict with your parents? ”
A little girl actually made Qu Lingfei feel very kind, she subconsciously remembered Qu Zhengyang who raised her to grow up, when she was a child, he seemed to have called herself like this!
Thinking of Qu Zhengyang in her mind, she replied casually:
"I didn't run away from home because of conflicts, I was ...... to my father My father asked for advice and agreed to me before I came out. ”
Because she was slightly distracted, she almost blurted out the words "father", but fortunately, she found that it was changed temporarily, but when her father said the two words, she felt very awkward herself, not for anything else, because the time she really got along with her father was too short, and there was no normal father-daughter relationship.
The old man said gently:
"Oh, that's good, I've asked the elders, it's right to come out only with permission, your father is willing to let you come out and break through, I guess he is also full of confidence in your cultivation, otherwise how can he easily agree!"
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, and his face showed a somewhat lonely expression.
Although the sad expression on his face was fleeting, Qu Lingfei still caught it, and she asked almost casually:
"Do your seniors also think of your juniors?"
The old man replied with a smile:
"Yes, I also had two disciples, and when I was successful in learning, I sent them down the mountain, and they were about the same age as you are now!"
Qu Lingfei said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, it evokes sad memories of my predecessors."
The two of them talked and didn't move their chopsticks much, and the little boy ate the first basket of steamed buns one by one, one bite at a time.
Qu Lingfei casually took down the empty steamer on the upper layer and motioned for the little boy to continue eating.
The little boy was not restrained, picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat in a big gulp, a small bun was put into his mouth, the cheeks were bulging and bulging, eating with relish, and eating in his mouth, his eyes were still looking at the steamer, and he wanted to eat faster, so that he could clip one.
In fact, he was still eating in his mouth, and the chopsticks in his hand had indeed reached out again, clamped one and put it on the chopsticks, and after swallowing it in his mouth, he quickly put it in his mouth.
Because of the beauty of the person, the appearance of the food not only does not make people feel ugly, but even feels a little cute.
Seeing that he was eating well, Qu Lingfei slowly stretched out her chopsticks, picked up a bun, took a bite gently, and chewed it slowly.
Once, when she lived in the mountains, she also felt that she couldn't eat enough all day, and when she suddenly ate something delicious, she would gobble it up like a little boy, but after entering the palace, she was used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and she gradually couldn't find the feeling of wanting to eat.
She secretly envied this little boy who could still enjoy this kind of happiness.
As she looked at the little boy eating the buns, the old man said slowly:
"It's not a sad memory, when people grow up, sooner or later they will go through their own lives alone, and they will leave their parents and elders, as a master, it is to teach them everything they know, even if they complete their mission, how can any disciple accompany the master for a lifetime?"
Qu Lingfei couldn't help but sigh:
"I really envy your two apprentices, I can meet such a good master as you, I think, you must love them very much!"
The old man replied with a smile:
"My own apprentices, just like their own children, say love, it's not blindly love, when it should be strict, you still have to be strict, but my two disciples, I don't have to worry so much, they are very talented, and soon I have learned all my skills, presumably, now they have already been better than the blue!"
Qu Lingfei asked curiously:
"Hasn't it been a long time since the seniors heard from them? That's why I'm a little worried! ”
The old man nodded and replied:
"Yes, it's been a long time since I heard from them, and I don't know if we'll meet again in this life!"
There is inevitably a hint of sadness and loss in the tone.
Qu Lingfei said with a little grievance:
"It is said that after they step into the rivers and lakes, no matter how well they are doing or not, they should go back to see their predecessors, right, haven't they visited their predecessors for a long time?"
The old man said softly:
"It's not their fault, they have gone back to the mountains to find me a few times, but I have been wandering outside for a long time, and I rarely go back to the mountains, I just miss them every time, they are all good children, and with their skills, I don't have to worry about the rivers and lakes, because their cultivation has already surpassed me."
Qu Lingfei then expressed forgiveness and said:
"Oh, it turns out that I didn't find my predecessors when I went back, and it seems that they miss their predecessors too!"
"Seniors like games, and the traces are hard to find, so they must be very distressed, I just hope you can reunite as soon as possible!"
The old man replied indifferently:
"It's just a matter of letting things be, the world is so big, it's not easy to meet!"
