Volume 1: A stone strikes a thousand waves, the world surrounds Li Daosheng Chapter 27 Li Si is always smiling
In the afternoon, the fog on the lake dissipated and Li Si and Bai Yaoer got off the boat.
The air is still cool and it seems like it is going to rain.
Li Si found a restaurant and bought a pot of wine, then found a rock on the shore to sit down and rest.
Bai Yaoer stood aside with her hands folded, looking at Li Si, and couldn't help but ask.
"Why do you have to come here?"
She still didn't understand what Li Si was insisting on.
Or does he really want to come here to play?
Green willows cast shade by the lake, and the clear water flows quietly.
Li Si sat on a rock holding a wine jug, listening to Bai Yaoer's words. He pondered for a moment, raised his head and looked into the distance and said.
"I once promised someone that I would bring her here to have a look."
In fact, it’s not just the West Lake.
He once promised that person that if he could live a few more years, he would take her to all the places she wanted to go.
So, during the last period of his life, she told him every day about the places she wanted to go. There were so many places, so many that Li Si couldn't even remember them all.
Every day, Li Si could see her carefully making travel plans at the bedside. She was always so serious in doing things, and she carefully wrote down everything they could do bit by bit in a notebook.
She said that Li Si must not go back on his word this time, otherwise, she would never forgive Li Si.
Unfortunately, Li Si didn't survive in the end.
And that notebook should have been thrown away by her.
…
I promised someone, who was it?
Bai Yaoer thought as she listened to Li Si's words.
Suddenly, she looked at Li Si's chest. Was that the woman carved on the wooden plaque?
"Then why did you come here first?" Bai Yaoer asked.
Shouldn't we bring her along?
Li Si turned his back to Bai Yaoer and took a sip of wine. After a while, he spoke.
"Because she and I are no longer in the same world."
His voice was light, as if he was talking about an ordinary trivial matter.
It's like the gurgling water of West Lake, without any obvious emotion.
By the lake, Bai Yaoer lost her voice.
Perhaps it was only then that she understood why Li Si had said before that there would be places he could not go.
If life and death are separated, what is the use of having the best martial arts skills?
It is ironic to say that this is the best lightness skill in the world.
The lake reflected the white clothes, and Li Si on the shore raised the wine jug.
It seems like a tribute to the mountains and rivers, like a tribute to the heaven and earth, and like a tribute to a more distant place.
He smiled with his lips hooked.
"But a gentleman's word is as good as his bond, isn't it?"
So he came anyway.
He did live a few more years in this life, so naturally he should visit all the places she mentioned.
He seemed to be smiling freely.
But when Bai Yaoer looked at Li Si's figure, she felt that the figure seemed empty, as if something was missing.
What was missing, she couldn't say.
Li Si knew it himself, but he wouldn't say it.
Just like what people in the underworld say, he is always laughing, but he is just laughing.
…
After that day, Li Si and Bai Yaoer left Hangzhou.
Ever since the defeat of Tang Clan and Changle Clan, the martial arts world seemed to have become much calmer, and there seemed to be fewer people chasing Li Si.
If Li Si had not often seen secret sentries roaming around near them, he would have thought that this storm was about to pass.
However, since they didn't take any action, Li Si was happy to have some free time.
He then planned to take a walk around Taihu Lake in Suzhou, and then go to Jinshan Temple to listen to Buddhist scriptures. After listening to the Buddhist scriptures, he would go to Wudang Mountain to keep his appointment.
By the way, he would leave Bai Yaoer there temporarily and entrust her to the Taoist priest's care for a period of time.
Because no matter how big the turmoil in the martial arts world is, no one dares to go to Wudang Mountain to arrest people. Bai Yaoer should be safe if he stays there.
And when the attention of the people in the martial arts world returns to him, Bai Yaoer can leave safely.
At that time, there was no relationship between him and Bai Yaoer, and they went their separate ways from then on.
On the way, Bai Yaoer asked Li Si why he helped her so much.
Li Si only gave her a simple answer.
He just didn't want anyone to lose their life because of him.
After all, it was because of him that Bai Yaoer was targeted by those gangsters.
After listening to this explanation, Bai Yaoer's expression became a little complicated. She sat in the corner without saying a word.
At the same time, Li Si's departure caused a lot of trouble.
The young man carrying seven swords also left Hangzhou city in a dusty state a day later.
It took him three days to find the Changle Gate stronghold.
As a result, as soon as he entered, the people at Changle Gate told him that Li Si had already gone to Suzhou, so he asked for a map of Suzhou and headed to Suzhou in a roundabout way.
The nuns coming from the west and the Taoists coming from the north had just arrived near Hangzhou when they heard the news of Li Si's departure. They had no choice but to change routes and continue on their way.
Only Xiao Muchui of Fengyu Tower had the easiest time chasing. There was no other way, since all the spies of Fengyu Tower were in the hands of him alone.
Half a month later, Suzhou City.
"Shopkeeper, give me a pot of good wine, a stack of peanuts, and two stacks of beef."
In a restaurant, Li Si found an empty seat, sat down, and called out to the owner inside.
"Okay !"
The shopkeeper was cleaning up a table of dishes. When he heard Li Si's call, he shook the rag in his hand and responded with a smile.
Bai Yaoer, who came in later, rolled her eyes, stepped across the bench, sat next to Li Si, and said with disdain.
"Can't you drink less?"
Li Si ignored her disgust and shook his head calmly.
"You can't live without wine in this world . As the saying goes, you should enjoy life to the fullest, and drink as much wine as you can..."
The two of them had already stayed in Suzhou for some time. After touring the city, they gradually became familiar with each other.
"Bah, don't say the same thing as you do to others." Bai Yaoer was amused by Li Si's appearance and cursed with a smile.
"I think you're the only one who can't live without alcohol."
After saying that, she took out a turtle shell from her arms and shook it on the table.
There was a "clang" sound, and a copper coin fell out.
Bai Yaoer picked up the copper coin and looked at it in front of her eyes for a while, then said to Li Si.
"The people chasing us will arrive in about two days."
Li Si looked at the tortoise shell in her hand with suspicion and asked with a frown.
“Is this thing of yours really accurate?”
As he said this, he reached out his hand to touch it. This was a thief's habit. He wanted to take anything he had never seen before.
"Believe it or not." Bai Yaoer slapped Li Si's hand away and put the turtle shell away.
"My father left this for me. I didn't miss it when I was chasing you before."
"I was wondering how you could always find me." Li Si muttered softly. It turned out that there was this thing that brought bad luck.
"What did you say?" Bai Yaoer turned her head. She inexplicably felt that Li Si was saying something bad about her.
"Nothing." Li Si shrugged his shoulders and tactfully did not continue the topic.
At this time, the store owner also brought up the wine and food.
"Come on, two guests, enjoy your food and drinks."
