Chapter 184: Toasting
Chapter 184 Offering a Toast
"Pay.....pay respect to the Xi God? No, at least not in our Liang Kingdom."
"I still remember when my second brother married, generally when the bride entered, first bow to Heaven and Earth, then to parents."
"But for weddings, on doors and windows, they also paste this round character just like this one."
Gou Wa used the sheep trotter in his hand, pointing to the double Xi cut from red cloth inside the distant hall and said
Hearing this answer, Li Huowang's expression did not improve much.
Standing in place for a while, only until seeing the circular red double Xi in the distance showed no abnormality, did he slowly sit down.
"Eat quickly, after eating find a place to sleep." Hearing Li Huowang's words, the others accelerated their swallowing.
Li Huowang picked off a dried date from the date bun beside him, chewing slowly while vigilantly watching everything around him filled with laughter.
His heart had not completely settled down.
No blame for him being a startled bird, learning wisdom from setbacks, in this already mad world, one cannot be too careful.
Moreover, he had already suffered several setbacks.
Li Huowang did not want to know why, he only wanted to take those around him and live steadily and safely.
The sky gradually darkened, as blazing torches were lit and inserted into the walls, the entire wedding banquet grew livelier.
Seeing the host toasting at other tables, Li Huowang thought their table of outsiders would not be approached, who knew they actually sent someone.
The square-faced youth who just gonged to welcome the bride held a wine cup and pot, smiling as he walked towards Li Huowang.
He came to the table, without further ado filled the cup, holding it with both hands towards Li Huowang he said.
"Come, come, come! Thank you all for attending this family's brother's wedding, I, Hou Wen, offer you escort masters a cup, wish you success, smooth journey!"
Hearing the other party say this, how could others sit idle, one after another raised cups to return the toast, even Li Huowang used tea for wine.
According to reason, for outside guests to receive such treatment was already not bad.
But holding the cup neck with one hand and supporting the bottom with the other, after Hou Wen drank, he refilled and toasted solely to Li Huowang.
"This Real Person, I offer you a cup separately. Wish you soon ride the crane to tour immortals, attain Dao and ascend!"
These words were good words, but in Li Huowang this fake Daoist's ears, however he listened it felt very awkward.
"Too polite, too polite." Li Huowang lifted the tea cup and drank, the tea pot just blocked his line of sight.
He immediately keenly perceived that the man in front of him was staring at himself.
No, to be exact, not at himself, but staring at the sword given by the Master Nun on his back.
When Li Huowang just put down the tea cup, that line of sight quickly disappeared, the youth in front smiled to welcome.
If not that Li Huowang's perception was much higher than others, perhaps he would truly be deceived by him.
"Why does this person want to look at my sword? Did he recognize the power of this sword?"
Regardless of how Li Huowang thought, that youth after finishing the toast, did nothing else, holding the wine pot turned towards other tables.
As if he came this time, as if truly just came to offer a toast generally.
"Everyone eat well drink well, must return having enjoyed yourselves!"
Watching his departing back, Li Huowang with complex expression turned head to others and said: "Ate about enough, let us go."
The others somewhat reluctantly looked at the dishes on the full table not yet finished, but Li Huowang had spoken, ultimately they reluctantly stood up.
After eating this banquet, besides being full and drunk, there was another benefit, that was finding a foothold was much more convenient.
Seeing it was the escort masters who just ate the banquet, the house owners agreed to temporary stay, even the room money Bai Lingmiao gave they pretended to decline.
"Aiya, since you came and ate the banquet, then you are guests, what money no money, why be so polite."
Speaking these polite words, but that loud-voiced old man, finally still with a happy expression accepted the copper coins.
Speaking of money this thing use is indeed great, very quickly the other party left out a two-story old earth building, for Li Huowang and others to live.
The earth building although old, but single building single courtyard just fit Li Huowang's intention.
Night gradually deepened, the previously lively village also slowly quieted down.
Li Huowang stood at the second-floor window, towards the distant red lanterns of that family handling the red affair gazing.
Sitting sideways on the bed Bai Lingmiao, put the thread into her mouth moistened it, borrowing the candlelight beside, carefully threaded it into the needle eye.
Immediately after, she bit by bit sewed some useless scrap cloth onto the chain on the stool beside.
Sewing until eyes became sore, Bai Lingmiao raised her head to look towards beside the window, that broad back. "Senior Brother Li, perhaps others looking at your sword, just casually looked, not necessarily want to plot wealth and harm life."
"I carry two swords on my back, why does that boy specifically only look at this one? One cannot be without caution against others, when you go down later, notify the others in the house, still keep a night watch."
Bai Lingmiao obediently nodded, then began to spread out the quilt.
"Li....Li.....Li......"
"Something matters?" Li Huowang lowered head, looked towards downstairs courtyard, looking up at his Gao Zhijian.
"I....I truly am not.....I truly am not keep.....village person." Obviously Gao Zhijian cared very much about this matter.
"Fine, I know you are not the village keeper, then where are you from? You couldn't be popped out of a stone right?"
Due to Gao Zhijian's intelligence and stuttering reasons, Li Huowang and others were not very willing to chat with him, because his speaking really was too dawdling.
Therefore regarding Gao Zhijian, besides knowing he recognizes characters, other matters they understood not half a bit.
Gao Zhijian expression very tangled stayed in place thought a while, "Li... Li... Senior Brother Li!! You... you believe me... me... me"
"I believe I believe, you quickly speak, again dawdle wait you finish speaking, sky all bright."
"You!! You don't... don't interrupt! Don't interrupt... my speaking!" Gao Zhijian for the first time used this tone to speak with Li Huowang.
"I... I most... most hate... hate... hate! Others... in... interrupt me... me speaking!"
Li Huowang looking at that anxious full face red face, and that his tightly clenched fists, nodded. "Good, you speak."
"Li... Li... Senior Brother Li!! You... you believe over me... me... me? No... no matter... my words... is how... how... how much shocking to the world!"
"I trust you, speak."
Hearing this words, Gao Zhijian expression fierce one stomp foot. "I.....I.....I come up say!!"
Glanced one eye behind Bai Lingmiao, Li Huowang blocked the restless Gao Zhijian, "You don't come up, you just here speak, speak finished good return sleep."
