Chapter 188: Being a person has a bottom line and following the rules
Cangyue Kingdom Old Temple
Su Su's dinner was simple, two dishes, a soup, and a few hot steamed buns.
A few people eat around a small table. This kind of life is actually quite acceptable and comfortable.
After dinner, Xiao Yi came over, but was blocked outside the door by Jiu You, who told him that Ye Ling and Su Su were resting and it was inconvenient to disturb them.
Xiao Yi could only go back to rest. On the next day, the first day of August, everyone started going in and out, busy moving things and setting off.
Su Su was sitting on the edge of the carriage eating a cake when Xiao Yuan'er came over and asked, "Are you Miss Su?"
Su Su immediately became alert: "What are you doing?"
Xiao Yier smiled slightly: "Hello, I'm from the band, my name is Xiao Yier, Xiao Yi is my brother, nice to meet you."
Su Su nodded slightly: "Hello."
Xiao Yuan'er took out an oil-paper bag from her pocket and said, "Here, my family's dried meat is delicious. I'll give it to you."
"Need not…"
"Take it." Xiao Yuan'er forced it to Su Su, then turned and left.
Su Su bulged his eyes and looked at Jiuyou who was checking the carriage with a confused look on his face.
Jiuyou walked over, took the oil paper package, opened it and took a look: "It is indeed the beef jerky from Dayu, there is no problem."
"Why did she give me this? We don't even know each other."
"If you don't want to eat it, just throw it away!"
"What are you throwing?" Ye Ling came over: "Hey! Jerky! Where did you get it?"
"It was Xiao Yuan'er who brought me the beef soup."
Ye Ling looked at the orchestra in the distance: "Interesting."
"They have all been wandering around the world since they were young and have seen all kinds of people. They all have their own plans and are not like girls from the boudoir. It's best to ignore them," Jiuyou said.
"Did you hear that?" Ye Ling agreed.
"What about this dried meat?" Su Su was a little panicked.
"Let it go for now, let's go!" Ye Ling got on the carriage.
The two teams started their return journey. Along the way, Su Su was wondering why Xiao Yuan'er gave her dried meat.
The world's roads are treacherous, the imperial palace shrouded in mist. Year after year, I climb to higher ground, yet never cease to grieve.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. The journey to Zhezhou was less than two days. The weather in the evening was not very good and looked gloomy.
During these three days, Xiao Yi always found various reasons to get close to Ye Ling, but they were all blocked by Jiu You. Xiao Yuan'er also tried to find Su Su in various ways, but Su Su listened to Ye Ling and ignored her.
Yue Chi commanded the tents to be set up: "Set up the tents firmly tonight. Be careful of heavy rain at night."
"Brother Yue, will it mean that we can't continue our journey normally if it rains?" Ye Ling asked.
"No, the rest of the road is easy to walk on. We can make it on no matter how heavy the rain is. It's just a little wet," Yue Chi replied.
"My senior brother wrote to me saying that Master has gone back and they must be having a great time. I also want to go back early to join in the fun," said Ye Ling.
Yue Chi looked up at the sky and said, "Looking at the situation, it may not rain, so don't worry."
"Okay! I'll cook a few dishes tonight and we can have a few drinks, how about that? I have some wine."
"It's a dream come true!"
With the help of Su Su and Jiu You, Ye Ling quickly made a few simple dishes and took out five jars of wine from the space.
"Isn't this a bit too much to drink?" Yue Chi said.
"It's okay, it's not pure, the alcohol content is low, it won't make you drunk." Ye Ling said as he started pouring the wine: "Come on, let's have a few drinks."
"Cheers!" Yue Chi raised his glass.
Jiuyou and Su Su were only responsible for eating the dishes. Of course, Yuan Jialin also sat beside them.
"Two envoys," Xiao Yi brought Xiao Yuan'er over again and asked, "Could I have a bowl of wine?"
Yue Chi looked at Ye Ling, and Ye Ling nodded slightly: "Sit down!"
"Thank you, Envoy Ye." Xiao Yi sat down happily.
"Miss Su," Xiao Yuan'er said, sitting next to Su Su in a familiar manner: "Don't you drink?"
Su Su shook his head: "I don't like to drink."
"Really? Mo Sishi has a good alcohol tolerance. I can't drink more than him. However, I couldn't beat him three years ago. After three years, my alcohol tolerance has improved. This time I must have a good drink with him," said Xiao Yuaner.
"Have you ever had a drink with him?" Su Su felt unhappy.
"That's right! Envoy Mo is not only skilled in martial arts, but also good at talking. We've had drinks together many times. How come Miss Su doesn't know?"
Su Su shook her head: "Maybe he did, but I forgot. After all, there are at least hundreds of women who have had drinks with Brother Mo. I can't possibly remember them all, right?"
Ye Ling smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. No matter how many wild beauties Senior Brother has drunk with, you are the only one he has from now on. If he dares to mess around again, I will clean up the mess for Master. Our sect has always been clean."
"Yeah," Su Su nodded with a smile, "Sister is still the best."
"No, listen to me. The second half of a woman's life is not about men, marriage, or love, but about yourself. Strive for a healthy body and an optimistic attitude. A woman's best state is when her eyes are full of stories, her face is free of fatigue, she doesn't envy others, doesn't blame others, and quietly loves herself."
"Only you, Ye Ling, have the strength to say that," Yue Chi said with a smile.
Ye Ling drank a bowl of wine and said, "I'm telling the truth. A woman should treat a man like flying a kite. She should know how to control it. Even if the string breaks, don't panic. Think about it, which kite with a broken string will have a good ending? It will either be hung on a treetop, exposed to the wind and sun, or fall into the water and sink to the bottom. None of them will survive."
"That's right," Yue Chi smiled and drank a bowl of wine.
Xiao Yi was finally able to talk to Ye Ling: "Ye Sishi's thinking is really unique! No wonder she is the best among women."
Ye Ling raised his wine bowl: "I'll take that as a compliment, please."
"It was originally a compliment." Xiao Yi also picked up the bowl.
The two drank together, and Xiao Yi continued, "It seems that Envoy Ye really likes to drink?"
"It's okay. Come on, since we are sitting together, let's clink glasses together." Ye Ling raised the bowl.
The others also raised their bowls and glasses. Ye Ling spoke, "If you put your worries in the wine, you will get drunk even if you don't drink. If you hide your stories in your heart, you will think about them whether you say them or not. I have stories, but I just want to waste the wine. Let me toast to the past with a glass of wine. There is no turning back to the past, and there is no settling for the future!"
"Please" several people said at the same time, and the atmosphere became lively. Except for Su Su and Jiu You, everyone else drank.
"Eat the food and drink while you eat," said Yue Chi.
Xiao Yuan'er took a bite of her food, then looked at Su Su and said, "Miss Su, I heard you just turned seventeen?"
"Yup!"
"There's a huge age difference between you and Mo Sishi! Men over 30 are mature and steady, and they don't like to coax little girls!" Xiao Yuan'er said with a smile.
"Shouldn't you marry someone who is mature and steady? Do you think you should marry someone who is like a stud and has three wives and four concubines?" Su Su asked back.
"Stallion? Miss, it was Envoy Ye who said this, right?" Yue Chi asked with a smile.
"That's right," Ye Ling admitted. "But Brother Yue, don't get too carried away. This stud refers to men who have families but are still thinking about remarrying. In my opinion, this is no different from a breeding stallion."
"Hehe..." Yue Chi nodded helplessly: "The words are rough but the truth is true."
"Envoy Ye, I disagree with you," Xiao Yuan'er couldn't help but speak. "Men are supposed to have three wives and four concubines. If they marry the one they like, they can marry another if they meet someone else. What's the conflict? What if the latter is also in love with each other?"
Ye Ling laughed: "It takes two to clap. One is flirtatious and the other is frivolous. One sucks thousands of people and the other sucks thousands of people. When an undisciplined man meets a shameless woman, there is no such thing as mutual love. It's just a matter of having similar tastes!"
Xiao Yuaner was very angry: "Envoy Ye is really good at scolding people"
"Not only can I curse people, I can also kill people," Ye Ling sneered.
Xiao Yuan'er disagreed: "It's impossible for all men in the world to obey Ye Sishi's words, right? Everyone has his own ideas."
"That's for sure, but at least there won't be such people around me. The women they know are all from respectable families and won't stoop to lowliness. Susu, don't worry. If such a vixen appears around my senior brother, I, your sister, will take care of her for you. She won't even know how she died, bitch." Ye Ling cursed happily.
"Thank you, sister. However, I believe in Brother Mo. He won't pay attention to these despicable things." Su Su deliberately emphasized the word "despicable". She learned this from Ye Ling recently and her mouth has become more poisonous.
Xiao Yi glared at his sister, then said, "Envoy Ye has such thoughts. I really want to know what kind of person you are."
"What kind of person am I? Let me think." Ye Ling pondered for a moment. "If you want to ask me what kind of person I am, I don't know. I can probably put on an apron to cook, pick up a big knife to chop people, and put on a little skirt to drink with you. I have many sides, and I will match whichever side you see."
"This answer is good! I like it," Yue Chi said.
Ye Ling smiled: "How should I put it... Just because I don't fight doesn't mean you can take it away. Just because I'm kind doesn't mean I'm easy to bully. Just because I'm reasonable doesn't mean I won't turn against you. Just because I give in doesn't mean you can push your luck. People must have bottom lines and follow the rules when doing things."
Xiao Yi became even more obsessed with Ye Ling: "I have been wandering the martial arts world for many years, and this is the first time I have heard these words from a woman. Ye Sishi, I would like to offer you a bowl of this, please."
Ye Ling picked up the wine bowl and said, "Master Xiao, please."
"Wait a minute," Yue Chi said, "Come with me."
After drinking the wine, Yue Chi continued, "Ye Ling, I really love listening to you talk. In other words, even though your words may sound like nonsense, your strength is actually very profound, and they are all vivid portrayals of reality."
"Thank you, Brother Yue, for your praise. Come, let's have a drink." Ye Ling's mood brightened.
"Okay, but don't get drunk!" Yue Chi said with a smile.
"Has Ye Sishi ever gotten drunk?" Xiao Yi was curious.
Yue Chi smiled and nodded. "Other people either fall asleep or throw up when they're drunk, but she'll beat anyone she catches, and they can't argue, or they'll suffer even more. After all, there are only a handful of people in the world who can beat her."
"You can just say that I have a bad drinking habit," Ye Ling said with a smile.
"That's not what I meant!"
"Come on, that's what I mean. Don't worry, I won't get drunk tonight, and I won't hit anyone."
"I'm still scared!"
"Ha ha…"
Everyone laughed and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
