Volume 1: A stone strikes a thousand waves, the world surrounds Li Daosheng Chapter 111: Picking stars. This kind of words are usually said by the heroine to the hero in a romance novel.
For several days in a row, Dugu Bufu was helping Shu Hunu practice her sword moves, and sometimes he would ask her to practice them a few more times .
Li Si had nothing to do, so he had to sit aside and keep the mountain sparrow company. To put it bluntly, he just sat there staring at the mountain scenery in a daze.
"Let's stop here today." It was almost dusk again. In front of the mountain gate, Dugu Bufu stood up and signaled to the tiger girl that they could stop.
The Tiger Girl stopped her sword, put it back into the scabbard, bowed to Dugu Bufu and said, "Thank you ."
"No need to thank me." Dugu Bufu waved his hand lightly, glanced at the sword in the tiger girl's hand and said.
"You have a good understanding. You should practice hard from now on. I will wait for the day when you come to the World Sword Alliance again."
"Yes." The tiger girl lowered her body and responded solemnly.
Although she had escaped from Shu Huheng, her behavior still showed some of her former self.
Dugu Bufu didn't care. He shifted his gaze away from her and looked at Li Si who was sitting not far away.
At this time, Li Si had fallen asleep while sitting there, leaning against a rock, unconscious.
Dugu Bufu narrowed his eyes and spoke to the tiger girl again.
"Also, go wake him up. It will be dinner time soon."
After saying that, he turned around and walked back into the mountain gate. He was too lazy to pay attention to such an idler.
When Dugu Bufu walked away, Shu Hunu turned around to look at Li Si who was sitting beside her, and then walked over.
Li Si slept very soundly. After all, for him, watching people perform swordplay was really meaningless.
The tiger girl stood beside him for a while, then squatted down with the sword in her arms, and stared at his profile in a daze for a long while.
A few bird calls were heard from the distant mountains, and the wind made the trees sway gently.
Blinking her eyes, Shu Hu Nu carefully sat down next to Li Si, hesitated, and rested her head on his shoulder.
The afterglow of the sunset in the sky had not yet completely fallen, shining a golden red light between the clouds, casting the two figures in front of the mountain gate on the ground.
Li Si didn't react, as if he was still sleeping soundly. A smile appeared on Shu Hu Nu's face. She rubbed her face on his shoulder and then closed her eyes.
Distant mountains, empty forests, sunset, and slanting human figures, for the Tiger Girl, she no longer wanted more.
When Dugu Bufu came out, he found two people sleeping in front of the mountain gate.
The wind blowing in his face was a little cold. He stood alone in the cold wind, watching the sun set in the west, and tightened his robe.
He felt a little unhappy, but in the end, he still used his sword to wake Li Si up and let the thief take Shu Hunu back to the room.
At night, Li Si sat in the yard eating.
Dugu Bufu sat in front of him, drinking from a small pot of sake. He would drink occasionally because it could warm the body at night.
But he never gets drunk because drunkenness will only lead to mistakes.
"Tomorrow, I should be able to complete my sword moves." Looking at Li Si who was eating and drinking, Dugu Bufu held the wine glass and said lightly.
Apart from anything else, the food cooked by Dugu Bufu’s chef is indeed delicious.
Li Si stuffed another piece of lean meat into his mouth and said to the person in front of him.
"In that case, thank you very much. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me. But let me make it clear first, I will not do anything that is against the law."
This is a big promise. For Li Si, there may be nothing in this world that he cannot obtain.
"Hehe." Dugu Bufu smiled faintly, poured himself another small glass of wine, and made a rare joke.
"If I want the stars in the heavens, will you also go and get them for me?"
"Uh..." Li Si was speechless for a moment. He scratched his hair and couldn't answer.
He didn't expect that Dugu Bufu would joke, and what he said was so strange.
Fortunately, Dugu Bufu did not insist on this question. He shook his head, took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Li Si and said.
"Someone sent this to my door at noon, but it said you should come and collect it."
Li Si frowned in confusion. He couldn't imagine who would write to him at this time.
Old monk?
Or Yan Tingzhi?
As he thought about it, he took the envelope.
Seeing that his name was indeed written on it, he tore it open, unfolded the letter inside and began to read.
The more he read, the deeper his frown became. Only after he finished reading the letter did he put it down, let out a long sigh, and smiled bitterly in helplessness.
"What's wrong?" Dugu Bufu asked while drinking.
"You shouldn't have given me this letter. I could have pretended I didn't see it ." Li Si looked at Dugu Bufu depressedly. After a while, he sighed and said while holding up the letter.
"Something is going to happen in Chang'an, Xiao Muchu from Fengyu Tower asked me to go there."
Dugu Bufu paused in drinking, then looked at Li Si and asked.
"You are a thief, right?"
"Yes." Li Si didn't know why he suddenly asked this, and answered subconsciously: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just feel like you're the one who's taking care of all the trivial matters in the martial arts world."
Dugu Bufu's tone was still cold, but unlike usual, there seemed to be a hint of smile in his voice this time.
Li Si's face turned dark. He picked up the bowl and chopsticks on the table and continued to eat his meal.
How would he know why he had to take care of all the trivial matters? He just sat there and troubles would come to him. What could he do?
I don’t know who I have offended. It seems I should take some time to go to the old monk to burn some incense and get rid of the bad luck.
"So, what is it that requires you to go to Chang'an?"
Dugu Bufu asked again.
" You may not believe it when I tell you." Li Si said vaguely while eating his meal with a bored look on his face.
"Someone wants to burn down Chang'an."
As for why Xiao Muchu insisted on asking him to go, he could understand it.
That guy was simply asking him to take the blame, because whether he notified the court or did nothing, Fengyu Tower would be targeted by the Jin Kingdom.
That's why he wanted to find a gangster to do the bad things, and the thief Li Si was undoubtedly the best candidate.
But Li Si would not refuse to go, because just as the confused Taoist said, sometimes, not only would trouble come to Li Si, but Li Si would also go looking for trouble.
Maybe he is a nosy person.
