"You are very good at talking."
Chen Qingyuan didn't believe that a mortal could see through his origin, and he didn't think so.
"I'm under Huang Xingyan, I don't know what you call my brother?"
As Huang Xingyan spoke, he poured himself a glass of wine and asked in a low voice.
This man was wearing a light-colored cloth, with many thread balls on his clothes. His hands were very rough and his hair was messy.
"Lao Jiu."
Glancing at the wine on the table, Chen Qingyuan gave himself a name at will.
"It's a great blessing in my life to meet my ninth brother today."
After drinking a few glasses of alcohol in a row, Huang Xingyan said polite words with a smile on his face.
Before long, the two pots of wine on the table were drunk by Huang Xingyan.
Huang Xingyan gently shook the empty wine pot and put the glass in his hand on the table with a little embarrassment. He opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. He was ready to get up and slip away.
"Xiao Er, a few more pots of wine."
Chen Qingyuan didn't feel disgusted with Huang Xingyan, but wanted to get to know him.
After a while, Xiao Er brought three pots of wine. Before leaving, he bent down to Chen Qingyuan and whispered, "Guist, this man is a famous naughty person. Don't be fooled by him."
Xiao Er kindly reminded him that he didn't want Chen Qingyuan to be fooled.
"You little boy, you are talking nonsense."
Although Huang Xingyan had no cultivation, his ears were very good, and he hurriedly scolded.
Xiao Er dared to refute and quickly walked to the backyard.
"Brother Jiu, don't believe those rumors."
Huang Xing was afraid of being driven away by Chen Qingyuan. He stared straight at the wine on the table, and his throat couldn't stop rolling.
"Of course not." Chen Qingyuan smiled and said, "I'm going to do it today. I'll treat you to a good drink."
"Brother Jiu is generous and admired."
Hearing this, Huang Xingyan was overjoyed and began to drink bitterly.
Looking at this scene, everyone around thought that Chen Qingyuan was a little stupid and had a good talk with such an alcoholic. However, this is Chen Qingyuan's own business. Others will watch the fun at most and will not go forward to harass him.
After three rounds of drinking, Huang Xingyan was a little drunk and had a dizziness on his face.
"To be honest, I used to say polite words to many people in order to drink. However, I really think Brother Jiu has a good temperament. You are definitely not an ordinary person.
There are still many strangers in the restaurant. Huang Xingyan noticed Chen Qingyuan in the corner at first sight and talked about it.
The moment he saw Chen Qingyuan, Huang Xingyan had a feeling of looking up at the clouds.
"Brother Huang, you're welcome."
Chen Qingyuan didn't take it seriously and said with a smile.
"If you don't give up, you can go to my home and have a cup of tea."
The sun is setting. If you are not going to stay in the restaurant, the restaurant will be open.
"Yes." Chen Qingyuan accepted the invitation.
Maybe it's idle, or it's fate.
Chen Qingyuan wants to get to know Huang Xingyan.
The picture turned around in the corner of the west of the city.
A simple wooden house with black walls and mud and dust. It looks old.
"Squeak, squeak..."
The evening wind blew, making the door sway back and forth, making a harsh sound.
Huang Xingyan brought a stool and wiped off the dust from the stool with his sleeves.
Then, he hurried to boil water and prepared to pour a cup of hot tea for Chen Qingyuan.
Chen Qingyuan did not dislike it and sat aside and waited quietly.
Soon, Huang Xingyan came with a cup of hot tea and put the tea on the table next to Chen Qingyuan: "A cup of coarse tea, I hope Brother Jiu doesn't dislike it."
"No, I think it's good. Thank you."
Chen Qingyuan said thank you.
"The place is simple, and I can only wrong Brother Jiu and I in the same room." Huang Xingyan said, "Of course, if Brother Jiu is not used to it, there is an inn nearby, which must be much more comfortable than me."
"It doesn't matter."
Chen Qingyuan is not so particular about it.
Besides, he can sit for one night and doesn't need to rest at all.
"That's good."
Huang Xingyan washed up and lay on a hard bed covered with a very thin quilt.
In the room, Chen Qingyuan sat aside and took a sip of hot tea: "Brother Huang has practiced martial arts before!"
"After practicing for a few days."
Huang Xingyan looked out of the window, as if he remembered what happened a long time ago, and said softly.
"You have a good physique. Why don't you find a job to make a living?"
Chen Qingyuan asked.
"I've looked for it before, but I'm too tired. It's better to live a comfortable, unrestrained and free now.
Having said that, there was obviously a complex look in Huang Xingyan's eyes.
It seems that his past is not that simple.
The two pulled for a while, and there was a slight purr in the room.
Huang Xingyan drank wine and suddenly fell asleep.
"Let me see where you came from."
Chen Qingyuan developed a great interest in this person and used Taoism to prepare to perform Huang Xingyan's past.
The hands were printed, and a slightly blurred picture condensed in front of him.
The person in the picture is Huang Xingyan.
Born in poverty, he joined the army as a teenager.
He performed well on the battlefield and made many achievements in the war. He was famous in the State of Southern Chu when he was only in his twenties. Then, the foreign enemy invaded, and he led the army to go out, defeating the strong enemy, and became famous.
After returning, he was awarded the title of general of the town, with unparalleled glory and loved by the people.
Unfortunately, because of his high achievements and military power, the royal family casually gave him the name of an disrespectful monarch, deprived him of power and honor, and demoted him to the commoner.
Then he came to the border city and stayed here.
"He is also a poor man."
Chen Qingyuan figured out Huang Xingyan's past and sighed softly.
Lack of interest, ready to leave.
At this moment, Chen Qingyuan seemed to have touched a trace of unknown things. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Huang Xingyan, who was sleeping, frowned, and said to himself, "At the end of the deduction, there seemed to be a strange power that flashed away."
Will it be an illusion?
Chen Qingyuan was suspicious.
"Try again and you will know."
Subsequently, Chen Qingyuan used Taoism again to re-deduce the causal traces of Huang Xingyan.
When the deduction was about to end, Chen Qingyuan's face changed. This time it can be confirmed that it was not an illusion.
"How can a mortal be contaminated with such a strange cause and effect?"
That trace of cause and effect made Chen Qingyuan feel palpitations and even suffocation.
If you forcibly capture that trace, you may get into trouble.
"This guy is a little weird."
Chen Qingyuan sat all night, studying Huang Xingyan and thinking about the terrible cause and effect.
The next day, Huang Xingyan woke up and found that Chen Qingyuan kept the sitting posture last night. He was surprised and said, "Brother Jiu, didn't you rest last night?"
"I'm not tired."
Chen Qingyuan replied with deep eyes.
"There is no surplus food at home. I'm afraid I can't entertain the ninth brother."
Huang Xingyan got up and said with some embarrassment.
"It doesn't matter." Chen Qingyuan whispered.
The room is very quiet and the atmosphere is slightly depressing.
"With all due respect, the ninth brother should not be a mortal, but a practitioner!"
Huang Xingyan broke the silence and looked serious.
I was drunk yesterday, but I didn't think much about it.
In retrospect now, Chen Qingyuan is different from mortals in terms of temperament and conversation, which gives Huang Xingyan a guess. The most important thing is that Huang Xingyan has a strong intuition, which is born with it.
