Zhutian: Starting from the World of Martial Arts

Since Li Xuan came back from Uncle Lin's house relatively early today, it was not completely dark when he got home.

Just when Li Xuan took out the key and was about to open the door, he heard a voice calling him from behind.

"Brother Xuan!"

When Li Xuan heard the voice calling him, he turned his head in surprise and looked behind him.

The person who came was a young man who was about the same age as him, wearing a brocade robe and slightly shorter in height. He looked a little familiar.

And next to this young man, there was a young man who was a few years older than him, also looking at him curiously.

The young man in brocade robe saw that Li Xuan just looked at him without saying anything, and obviously did not recognize him. He looked a little embarrassed, smiled twice to cover up, and then said:

"Brother Xuan, you don't remember me, Mr. Shi, Mingli Zhai, we are classmates who studied with Mr. Shi together."

When Li Xuan heard the young man in brocade robe talking about Mr. Shi, he had already recognized the young man in front of him.

When I was eight to twelve years old, I was sent to the private school Minglizhai to learn literacy from Mr. Shi, who opened the private school.

The man in front of me was indeed my classmate, but because he was the son of a merchant and relied on his family's wealth, no one looked down on him and sometimes bullied honest children in the school.

But because Li Xuan's father worked in the government office, he still had some deterrent power, so he never provoked me, and the two of them kept to themselves.

Moreover, because I had not awakened my wisdom at that time and had little interest in studying, I left the private school at the age of twelve under the arrangement of my father, and began to strengthen my body, learn about the family's martial arts, and know the acupuncture points and meridians. The two never met again.

After recognizing the person in front of him, Li Xuan also stopped what he was doing, greeted him, and said:

"Jia Gui, why are you here?"

When Jia Gui heard what Li Xuan said, the corners of his mouth twitched.

He hated his name, Jia Gui, fake, as if his wealth was fake.

So all his classmates called him Brother Gui.

And the man in front of him knew his taboo, but he still called him Jia Gui, Jia Gui, which made him almost unable to suppress his anger.

However, when thinking of the task assigned by his cousin, Jia Gui still gritted his teeth secretly, then made an enthusiastic expression and said:

"We are all classmates, just call me Guizi."

Speaking of this, Jia Gui glanced at the door in front of him and said:

"Brother Xuan, come to think of it, why are you here."

Hearing Jia Gui's words, Li Xuan shook the key in his hand and said unhappily:

"This is my home, of course I am here."

Jia Gui made an expression of sudden realization and then said:

"That's really a coincidence, my cousin and I just took a shortcut, and I didn't expect to run into you."

Speaking of this, Jia Gui pointed to the thin and tall young man next to him and said:

"Let me introduce you, this is my cousin-Jia Fu."

Hearing Jia Gui's introduction, Li Xuan nodded to the thin and tall young man, as a greeting.

The man in front of him was wearing a brocade robe like Jia Gui, and he was a rich man at first glance. Li Xuan knew at a glance that he was not the same kind of person as himself, so he was too lazy to get to know him.

Seeing that Li Xuan just nodded perfunctorily, Jia Fu's eyes flashed with anger, but he suppressed it in an instant. Then he held a fan in his hand, clasped his fists towards Li Xuan, and said politely:

"I am Jia Fu, Guizi's cousin, and we are acquainted."

After seeing Jia Fu's actions, Li Xuan had to clasp his fists and said:

"Brother Jia, you are too polite. My name is Li Xuan, and I am Jia Gui's classmate."

After the two greeted each other, when Li Xuan was about to say goodbye to them, Jia Gui next to him suddenly said:

"Brother Xuan, today my cousin has taken in a third concubine, so he invited us to Zuichunlou for dinner to celebrate. You can come with us, just to add a pair of chopsticks. My cousin likes to make friends. "

Jia Fu, who was standing next to Jia Gui, also raised his fist towards Li Xuan and said:

"I don't know if Jia has the honor to treat Brother Li to a simple meal."

Li Xuan heard what they said, looked at Jia Gui, then looked at his cousin, shook his head, and said regretfully:

"Jia Gui, cousin Jia Gui, I'm really sorry, I've already eaten, so I won't join in the fun, wait for next time."

Hearing Li Xuan's refusal, Jia Gui was obviously a little impatient, and his voice was a little higher:

"Li Xuan, calling you Brother Xuan, you really think of yourself as a brother, and you don't even give face to me and my cousin, you are really good.

Even if you have eaten, you can also have some dishes, that isGo make some friends. "

Hearing Jia Gui's words, Li Xuan pointed to the white lantern at the door and apologized:

"I'm so sorry, I'm in mourning now, it's really not suitable for me to go out and have fun."

Hearing Li Xuan's words, Jia Gui was about to say something, but his cousin raised his hand to stop him, saying lightly:

"Okay, since the Li brothers are not convenient, we can't force them, let's go, let's go."

Jia Gui, who was stopped by his cousin, had to give up. After looking at Li Xuan angrily, he left with his cousin.

After watching Jia Gui and his brother leave the alley, Li Xuan turned around, opened the door, and returned home.

And just after the two of them left Li Xuan's sight, Jia Gui complained:

"Cousin, why are you stopping me? I almost provoked that guy. "

Jia Fu took the folded paper fan and knocked on Jia Gui's head and said:

"Even if you provoke him, what's the use? Don't you see that this guy is already very alert? Even if you provoke him, he will be on guard against us, which will only make things worse."

Jia Gui rubbed his head and said:

"What should we do? We have been waiting for a week. Today we finally waited for him. If we don't do it this time, we don't know when the next time will be.

I dare not go to the door of Constable Lin. You go if you want to go. "

Jia Fu was speechless when he heard his brother's words. He didn't dare to squat near Constable Lin's door, so he had to say:

"It's okay, as long as we talk and get to know each other, who will refuse a fool who likes to spend money on friends? I don't believe it."

Hearing his cousin's words, Jia Gui also perked up and said:

"Yes, let's come early tomorrow. I don't believe me either. I can't spend my money yet. "

After Jia Fu waited for his brother to finish speaking, he knocked on his fan and said:

"Let's go, I'll take you to Zuichunlou today, and we'll have dinner there tonight."

Hearing his cousin's words, Jia Gui scratched his head in embarrassment and said:

"Didn't we invite Li Xuan? Do we still have to go to Zuichunlou? The food there is not cheap."

Obviously, Jia Gui is not expensive, and he can't afford the food in Zuichunlou that costs several taels of silver.

After hearing his brother's words, Jia Fu picked up his fan and knocked on his head with regret, saying:

"What do you know? This is called acting and setting a trap. Li Xuan's father and Lin Hongxiu are both detectives. Who knows what special information they have? If they find out, our plan will fail.

Don't worry, your cousin will pay for this meal, but I won't suffer any loss. "
