Barrier of Light

Snow.

Late at night.

The lights are bright.

The sound of clinking glasses came from the alley.

Gong Zi's laughter floated out from the house and echoed outside the long alley.

"Everyone! Let's raise a toast! Congratulations... the reconstruction of the cemetery is complete!"

It took seven days to renovate the cemetery's formations, and completely modify the original reverse order of the formations. This was an unprecedented large-scale project, but the efficiency was frighteningly high.

In the old shop in the alley, there is a large round table.

Gong Zi, Mu Ya, Mu Nan, Xiao Tie Ren, Li Qingsui, Uncle Gao, Luo Yu, Gu Nanfeng, Lu Nanjin... and Song Ci who came from afar, more than ten people were sitting at the table, chatting and laughing happily.

Gu Nanfeng's eyes were a little complicated. He dealt with trivial matters in Nagano and finally felt free.

For him, being able to attend such a banquet was simply unbelievable.

Actually it's not just him.

The five families...have not experienced such an atmosphere for many years.

This beef hotpot shop in the alley is not big. Everyone is crowded together, which makes it a bit cramped, but it is very warm.

"I'd like to offer this cup to Miss Chu!"

Gong Zi stood up, very bold, with a smile on her face, and said to Chu Ling next to Gu Shen: "Miss Chu is really a god."

No one expected that Miss Chu’s commanding ability was so outstanding.

Luo Yu also smiled and said: "Miss Chu, why don't you enter the command post from now on? I'll tell the old man that the position of commander will be reserved for you."

Chu Ling smiled and looked at Gu Shen without saying anything.

With her talents, it is more than enough to sit in the position of commander...or rather, it is really too much.

Strictly speaking, the entire command post cannot leave her guidance.

After all, in all large-scale missions, the first thing the commander does is to connect to the [Deep Sea].

And she is [Deep Sea].

"Miss Chu... I did it, you can do whatever you want!"

Gong Zi raised the glass with both hands and drank it all in one gulp, full of pride.

This move caused great dissatisfaction from the little iron man next to him.

"You can pull him down..."

Shen Li lightly tapped the cup filled with juice with his finger, rolled his eyes, and said disgustedly: "Drink orange juice, just drink orange juice. I don't know, I thought you drank a few kilograms of white juice."

Gong Zi, who had a full drink, choked on these words and almost squirted out.

"Cough cough cough..."

Gong Zi wiped her mouth in embarrassment and explained in a low voice: "The one at home is watching. Please understand. If you drink too much, you will be scolded if you go back."

The little iron man noticed Mu Ya who was watching eagerly from the side.

He sneered: "You are the future head of the Gong family, and you don't have the freedom to drink whatever you want outside?"

After that, he stood up and said loudly: "Brother Gu, I respect you too..."

After the cemetery incident.

For some reason, everyone he encountered in the prison was much more polite to him.

Especially the Grand Judge!

Mr. Shan actually summoned me in person... more than once, gave him the best breathing techniques, sealed objects, and specifically told him to ask for anything he wanted. He even gave himself a house in the Snow Forbidden City. .

Shen Li didn't know why. He didn't know what happened at all, but he had a vague feeling in his heart that it was probably related to Brother Gu!

At least, he was able to save his life from the cemetery because Gu Shen risked his life to save him!

He kept this kindness in his heart!

Say it.

Shen Li raised his glass with both hands and drank to the full.

A sigh of contentment.

The little iron man sat down with a proud face, raised the empty cup in his hand, first signaled to Mu Ya, and then showed off to Gong Zi: "But I am different... I have the freedom to drink. "

Gong Zi's head is covered with black lines.

He stared at Shen Li's cup... This guy drank orange juice too!

"I just love drinking orange juice..."

Shen Li also coughed and defended feebly: "Besides, it's ugly to drink alcohol. It's embarrassing to be drunk like mud!"

He remembered something from the past that was not so good.

Luo Yu, who was sitting next to him, trembled, obviously thinking of this old incident. The two looked at each other, and their expressions became strange at the same time.

a year ago.

At the Gong family's night banquet... Shen Li was so drunk that he bit off Luo Yu's iron hand.

After the two woke up, one held his wrist and cried without tears and ran to find a mechanic to repair it, while the other pinched his throat and tried to retching. However, the [Iron Eater] gave Shen Li an iron stomach, which lasted one night. In the meantime, Luo Yu's iron hand had been completely digested.

This is truly an unbearable nightmare.

…

…

“How does the shabu-shabu beef taste?”

Gu Shen picked up several pieces with chopsticks, put them on the plate, and asked with a smile.

Freshly slaughtered beef upper brain is cut into thin and even slices that stick to the plate and will not fall off even if the plate is erected. This kind of beef is still delicious even if it is rinsed in a pot with water. Dip it in some sesame sauce and sip it gently. One bite will greatly heal your body and mind.

"Hmm... delicious!"

Chu Ling's cheeks were bulging, and his big eyes were filled with mist, half from the heat of the hot pot and half from the tears of emotion.

The day the cemetery was built.

Her time was so full that she had no time to enjoy delicious food.

I didn’t expect...the beef cooked in a pot with clear water would be so delicious!

Most of the people at the table were reminiscing about old times.

Chu Ling was the only one who was eating seriously, and she almost never stopped. However, she looked elegant in eating, so she was quite low-key, and there was another "Taotie General" sitting in charge, responsible for putting the beef and mutton into the pot, so almost no one paid attention. It didn't stop until she started eating.

That gluttonous general was naturally Mu Nan.

Mu Nan kept eating at a fast pace.

The main purpose of others coming here is to reminisce and chat.

But he was different.

His main purpose is to eat.

Beef, mutton, poured in plate after plate... plate after plate of fun!

Only this time, Mu Nan felt something was wrong. He once thought he was hallucinating. Why was only half of the plate of meat left when he fished it out?

There was a senior foodie on the table, competing with him for food.

Looking around again...he suspected that he had an illusion even more.

That person...is Miss Chu? !

He almost slapped himself.

Take a closer look.

The person who has been fighting for meat with him without stopping for a chopstick is really Chu Ling.

Unknowingly, Mu Nan's purpose of eating this meal gradually changed. From childhood to adulthood, he could not win the first place in the competition within the clan, but there was one thing, he was always the champion.

That's eating.

No one can eat better than him!

After eating continuously for an hour, Mu Nan burped happily, and when he was about to withdraw his troops to welcome victory, he discovered a horrifying thing, that is, Chu Ling ordered a series of more dishes, and then He smiled shyly to himself...then he swallowed the burp.

Is Miss Chu’s stomach a bottomless pit?

…

…

There was more than one "silent war" at this banquet.

Song Ci, half of his body still bandaged, raised his glass. He was already drunk as he spoke. He tried to straighten his tongue and asked seriously: "Old Gao, you really don't want to have a drink? This is good wine. I come from Dadu." Brought it!”

The Lao Gao that Song Ci spoke of... could only be Uncle Gao.

Li Qingsui carefully pulled Uncle Gao and sat down in a direction away from Song Ci.

Seeing this, Gao Tian smiled helplessly and said, "Sorry, Xiao Song, I really don't drink."

"That's such a pity. I can only drink with the guy named Gu..."

Song Ci shook his head and sighed angrily: "You don't know this guy, he drinks wine as water... I can't drink him!"

Gao Tian had a smile in his eyes.

Gu Shen can drink, so he naturally knows that at the last Gong family banquet, Gu Shen drank to the death of everyone else.

It's just that... this guy named Song also has a good drinking capacity.

Although he doesn't know how this spiritual element wine is made, Gao Tian knows that after taking a sip, even he will feel tipsy. This is an extremely wild "hypnotic wine" for extraordinary people!

"It's okay, just drink. You'll be over after you're drunk." Gao Tian smiled and said, "If you're drunk, I'll see you off after I finish seeing off the lady. I will definitely send you back to your residence safely."

Li Qingsui held her forehead and sighed softly.

Uncle Gao seemed to like Song Ci quite a bit.

Just a few days.

This visitor from the north came all the way from Dato and was already thriving in Nagano.

He is a simple man, and Nagano likes simple people.

Of course, there is another very important reason...that is, his fists are hard enough and his background is hard enough.

"Sister Xiao Lu, don't you care about him?"

Li Qingsui blinked and cast a look at the person next to Song Ci asking for help. Of course, this sentence was more than just asking for help. She had also seen the relationship between the two these days, and now this sentence was just to test. The actual progress of Lu Nanjin and Song Ci.

Lu Nanjin was startled after hearing this.

In fact, she was also drinking Lion Sober, but she was just sipping it, so she drank very little.

But... there was still a blush on her cheeks.

She became even redder at this moment, and besides being surprised, she also felt a little bit angry.

He never expected that while talking about Song Ci, he would come to his side.

"Oops..."

Song Ci smiled sheepishly after hearing this.

Behind his back, he quietly gave Li Qingsui a thumbs up.

Huazhi is truly worthy of his generous support to Mr. Li.

This little girl is really loyal. At the critical moment, she sent such an assist, so she had to make good use of it.

Song Ci put down his wine glass, looked at Nan Jin, and sat upright, waiting for a reply.

He thought he was sober and was smiling reservedly at the moment.

Little did he know that after drinking the lion sober up, he now had a silly smile on his face, with the words "take care of me, take care of me" written on his forehead.

"Pooh."

Lu Nanjin took a deep breath, quickly calmed down, and said disgustedly: "Who wants to care about him?!"

What a terrible answer...

This should be rejection, right?

Li Qingsui felt heartbroken for Song Ci.

She smashed her mouth with some regret, and then looked at Song. Sure enough, she received a huge blow. Her whole body was petrified and motionless.

Song Ci sat at the table in a daze, and after a long time, he showed a silly smile.

He thought about the words he just said carefully for a long time.

The response I received was "Who cares about him?"

Instead of "None of my business!"

Obviously... I have a role to play.

Song Ci raised his glass to Li Qingsui with gratitude and took a big sip.

(PS: There will be a big chapter tomorrow, which should be the last chapter of the second volume.

The final chapter of the second volume is warm and ordinary in my plan.

The outline of the new volume has been drawn up.

From the perspective of story progression.

The reunion, banquet, and conversation between these people... could have been omitted.

But in this case, Little Iron Man, Lao Gong, Crow... these comrades who have real experiences with Xiao Gu, and old friends who share the same joys and sorrows, will lose a bit of color.

I meet them happily.

I hope you will do the same. )
