Volume 1: A stone strikes a thousand waves, the world surrounds Li Daosheng Chapter 122: For people of this age, some things are still too powerful
"Well, I guess you will go too, but since I came to find you, can't I say that I found you?"
Li Si curled his lips and said some shameless words openly.
But Jiang Lian'er heard another meaning from his words, and asked by turning her head slightly.
"You work for someone else?"
"Yeah." Li Si did not hide it and responded with a raised eyebrow.
"For whom?" Jiang Lian'er seemed quite interested in this. Anyone who could get Li Si's help must be a very prestigious person.
"The court." Li Si opened his mouth, but only said two words.
Jiang Lian'er was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and tidied his desk. He had finished his painting.
"I should have thought of it." He said that the court should be the most anxious about this matter at this time.
Then he smiled again and asked jokingly, "What bribe did you accept from them?"
"Bribe?" Li Si rolled his eyes, walked to the table, helped stir the just-used brush in the brush washer and said.
"It's not as harsh as you say. I didn't confiscate anything. This is what the Jianghu people owed them."
Although he did receive a jar of fine wine, it was brought by Yan Tingzhi himself.
"But you don't owe them anything." Jiang Lian'er took a piece of rice paper, absorbed the wet ink on the painting, then slowly rolled up the scroll and said.
After all, when Li Si came out of seclusion, it was many years after that incident.
"I really don't owe them anything, but who can blame me for being a man of the world?" Li Si hung the washed pen on the pen holder and shrugged his shoulders.
"Once you are in the arena, you have no choice."
"Heh." Jiang Lian'er chuckled, put away the scroll, lowered and glanced at Yunshan outside the window: "Indeed, when you are in the world, you have no choice."
Here, Li Si and Jiang Lian'er were chatting.
On the other side, Yun'er also took Shu Hunu to visit Yunshan Villa.
"Sister Nu, are you really Si'er Ge's cousin? I always feel like you two don't look alike."
The little girl walked beside the tiger-man, looked at her with puzzled eyes and asked.
No matter how you look at it, Shu Hunu and Li Si don't look like cousins.
"Well, I look more like my father." The tiger girl answered calmly while holding the sword. She was not good at dealing with children, so she could only try to remain silent.
"Have you seen Si'er Ge when he was a child? He said that when he was a child, he always played with monkeys in the mountains. Is that true?"
Yun'er was obviously very curious about Li Si's past and continued to ask.
"I don't know." Shu Hunu glanced away helplessly. How could she know what Li Si looked like when he was a child?
“We didn’t live together when we were kids.”
"So, do you live together now?" Yun'er's tone was casual, and there should be no other meaning. She just asked a simple question.
But after hearing this, Shuhu Nu's face turned red for no reason. After a while, she lowered her head and answered in a low voice.
"No, we sleep in separate rooms."
Obviously, she had misunderstood something.
Girls are always more perceptive. Yun'er paused when she realized what Shuhunu meant.
Then he reacted immediately, his face flushed, and he quickly changed the subject.
"Is that so? Haha, that's right. Look at what I'm asking. Let's not talk about it anymore. I'll take you to my room."
"Yeah, okay." The tiger girl also responded awkwardly.
The two of them tacitly did not continue the previous topic and walked towards her room under Yun'er's guidance.
Yun'er's room was not as neatly arranged as an ordinary girl's room. It could even be said to be a bit messy. Painting scrolls and rice paper were piled up everywhere, and the pens on the table were scattered all over the place, most of them were not hung on the pen holder.
Jiang Lian'er had criticized her many times for this, but Yun'er always seemed to care little about her own room, even though she cleaned Jiang Lian'er's room and other places very well.
Under normal circumstances, Yun'er would not bring anyone into her room, even Li Si.
But this time, she was obviously really panicked, so she brought the tiger girl in.
After entering the room, her face turned red, and she seemed to have come to her senses. She stammered and spoke to the tiger girl.
"It's a little messy, don't mind it."
But that wasn't the only reason she blushed.
Moreover, there are some things in her room that absolutely cannot be seen by others.
Unfortunately , she had already brought the Tiger Girl in, and there was no way to just drive her away.
"Well, no."
Of course, Shu Hu Nu didn't know this. She thought Yun'er just felt that the room was a little messy, so she was a little embarrassed, so she nodded softly in response.
"Then just take a look around first. I'll take you to the back hills later. That's much more fun than this."
After laughing stiffly twice, Yun'er quickly picked up the two scrolls on the ground and hid them in the bookshelf beside her.
"Yeah." It was also the first time for the tiger girl to visit someone else's room. She stood there not knowing what to do and looked around the room.
"I see you are holding a sword. Are you good with the sword?" Yun'er pretended to tidy up the room and picked up the scattered drawing papers while talking to the tiger girl, as if trying to attract her attention.
"Li Si said that it is better than ordinary people." said the tiger girl.
She really believed in Li Si's evaluation of her, because no one around Li Si could compare to her.
Suddenly, she saw an unfinished painting on the table, so she walked over and asked.
“Did you draw this?”
Yun'er, who was hiding the scrolls everywhere, heard these words and suddenly stood up with her hair standing on end and shouted.
"No, don't look at it!"
The tiger girl thought that she was worried that the painting was not good and did not want others to see it, and was about to give her a compliment.
But then, she saw what was in the painting.
…
In the evening, Li Si asked helplessly while helping Shu Hunu deal with her nosebleed.
"How did you get so much blood? Where did you hit?"
"Nothing." The tiger girl answered expressionlessly with her head raised, but there was an inexplicable tremor in her voice.
"Maybe she's too tired from traveling with you. I asked Xiaoyun to cook some red date porridge. Let her drink some later. She should be fine after a night's rest."
Jiang Lian'er walked up from behind Li Si and spoke slowly.
But when she saw Jiang Lian'er standing with Li Si, the blood from Shuhu's nose flowed even more.
As for what Shu Hu Nu saw in Yun Er's room that day, no one knows to this day.
