Chapter 691: Old Friend and Disciple, Be on Guard
It took only a stick of incense for Tian Zhonghu and Yun Zhonghe to start the incident and then faint from shame and anger. They had the upper hand and were in a dominant position, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened and they suffered the consequences in the end.
Two hundred years old old men were humiliated like this. Even if Li Changxiao didn't really want to hurt them, how could they deal with it? It would be better for them to commit suicide.
Li Changxiao used both his left and right hands to grab Tiger and Crane by the collar, and carried them to the corner of the inn, where they piled up together. Then he picked up the broom and cleaned up the scattered vegetables and rabbit meat.
Qing Chunhua came back to his senses at this moment, remembering the advice of his master. This world is full of wonders, there are always mountains higher than another, and rivers deeper than another. However, there are some truly great people who always regard themselves as ordinary mortals. Therefore, one must never use power to oppress others, judge people by their appearance, or measure people by a certain standard.
She did not have a deep understanding before. Although she understood the truth in the words, there are thousands of truths in the world that everyone understands, but she has not seen that the world is dominated by good people. On the contrary, she has seen many bad people running rampant, just like Yun Zhonghe and Tanaka Tiger before.
At over 200 years old, don't they know that bullying the weak and defeating the minority with numbers is shameful? Don't they know that killing people for no reason is a crime?
But he still attacked fiercely and mercilessly. The same was true for Qing Chunhua. When she was young, she was full of curiosity. Although she had never used force to suppress others, when she met ordinary people, she might not be able to truly treat them equally, normally, and calmly.
Not to mention her, even Li Changxiao himself would find it difficult to do this completely.
But when Qing Chunhua saw the scene at this moment, the shopkeeper in white used strange means to subdue the two people, but turned to clean the environment calmly, and the master's earnest teachings emerged in his mind. It was not until this moment that he truly learned those little principles.
For a moment, he was filled with admiration for his master, and he kept his teachings in mind, not daring to forget them easily. Qing Chunhua hurriedly said, "Thank you for your help, senior."
Li Changxiao did not look back, cleaned up the dirt on the ground, and took a wet towel, lying on the ground to wipe it clean. This step cannot be sloppy, you need to pour some wine, wipe it repeatedly and vigorously, so that it can be thoroughly cleaned, and there will be no odor in the future.
Li Changxiao felt that calling him "senior" was reasonable, but it made him sound old. He preferred to talk to people on an equal footing and ignore each other's age. He was thinking slowly, and Qing Chunhua was already hesitant. She wanted to bend over to help, but she couldn't do it for a moment. After all, she was born into a wealthy family and brought two servants with her when she traveled, who were responsible for taking care of her food and clothing. Although she was good at martial arts, she had never touched a woman.
After a while, the floor was wiped clean and Li Changxiao sat down on the spot. He told Qing Chunhua not to be restrained and to find a place to sit while he went to prepare the food.
Qing Chunhua was confused about Li Changxiao's idea, but she still did as she was told and found a seat to sit down. At this time, the servant Liu Ju came over and murmured, "Miss, let's run away. This place is very strange." Qu Xiaochan said in a trembling voice, "Yes, Miss, look at the shopkeeper. He knocked those two people out like it was a piece of cake. We are definitely no match for him. It's more important to save our lives. Anyway, we have already paid for the room."
Qing Chunhua hesitated for a moment. She saw that the shopkeeper in white was indeed unpredictable and wanted to escape. But after thinking about it, she felt that although the shopkeeper's behavior was strange, he had never done anything harmful. He had just saved her, so it was not right for him to leave without saying goodbye. Thinking of this, she became ruthless and said to herself, "Humph! I won't run away."
They sat and waited for Li Changxiao to appear. After a while, Li Changxiao brought one or two plates of green vegetables, two plates of braised meat, and two plates of side dishes, neatly placed on the table. He also served a bowl of white rice to Liu Ju, Qu Xiaochan, and Qing Chunhua.
Liu Ju and Qu Xiaochan took it with trepidation. Qing Chunhua looked tough and calm, but she was actually very nervous. Li Changxiao, the shopkeeper, was both a cook and a waiter, and he did everything very well.
Qu Xiaochan and Liu Ju looked at their young lady. Qing Chunhua glared at them and then took some food to eat, as if she was not afraid that Li Changxiao would secretly poison her. Seeing that she had eaten, Liu Ju and Qu Xiaochan naturally had to eat. The food tasted pretty good. Although there were very few ingredients, the heat and cooking techniques were just right, and it was very delicious.
Although Li Changxiao's cooking skills are peculiar, when entertaining guests, he has to pay attention and try his best to cater to everyone's taste.
Li Changxiao asked while eating, "How is your master?" Qing Chunhua was stunned and didn't dare to answer easily. She thought to herself, "Could this person have a grudge against Master and has been waiting for me here for a long time? Was the strange scene just now actually a trick to deceive me, just to get Master's whereabouts?"
The more she thought about it, the more possible it seemed. She secretly regretted not turning around and running. She glanced at the two elders, Tian Zhonghu and Yun Zhonghe, and thought deeply, "Oh no! Those two pretended to be unconscious and were piled up in the corner, but they were actually surrounding me. If I show any abnormality, I'm afraid they will attack me together!"
The expression changed again and again. Li Changxiao saw that she was fighting wits and courage, and was extremely cunning. He found it funny and laughed out loud.
Qing Chunhua was even more certain of her guesses, and cursed, "Sinister villain, what are you laughing at? Do you really think you can defeat me?" Li Chang laughed and said, "Girl, you have too many and too complicated thoughts. That's right, this is normal for you at this stage."
Li Changxiao explained: "My inn has been open for a long time, it's not what you think." Qing Chunhua sneered: "Do you really think I'm easy to deceive? I won't eat this meal, we're leaving now, if you stop me, it proves that you have bad intentions!"
After that, she put down her bowl and chopsticks, and stood up with Liu Ju and Qu Xiaochan. Li Changxiao smiled and asked, "What if I really saved you and had no ill intentions? Then your behavior can also be regarded as 'ungrateful', speaking ill of those who have done you a favor. Is that what your master taught you?"
The more alert and cautious Qing Chunhua was, the more he wanted to tease her. It was actually a little fun. Qing Chunhua was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer. The master did teach her that gratitude must be repaid and gratitude and resentment must be distinguished.
Although she was young and a newcomer to the martial arts world, and although she was already a master of martial arts, she had never encountered such a tangled situation. Especially when she saw the shopkeeper's smiling face, although it was very handsome, it was also like a mist and an illusion, unpredictable. She did not dare to approach him easily, but she also felt that she should not leave immediately.
What Qing Chunhua didn't know was that if her master was here, he would have smiled and been very happy. Although her master occasionally mentioned some old stories, which were quite interesting and thrilling, how could Qing Chunhua know that the man in white in front of her was the person who appeared repeatedly in the story.
