294. God was frightened(1/2)
Lao Mu made a bet with Su Liang that Lao Bai would be unable to resist drinking.
But in the blink of an eye, three days later, under Su Liang's careful care, Lao Bai's mental state improved significantly, and he didn't even mention the word "wine".
Lao Mu simply suspected that the drunkard who had tormented him so much before was not the same person as the current Lao Bai.
Su Liang didn't go out for three days, and every night Gu Ling would "sleepwalk" and come to find her. He would just talk for a while about what happened that day, and basically he would listen to what she said.
Lao Bai liked to sit in the pavilion by the lake. He would sit there for a long time, quietly looking at the lake without saying a word.
And Lao Mu has lived a life of semi-seclusion and poverty, but now he has liberated his nature, not seeing anyone all day long, and going to wherever the excitement is, including teahouses, restaurants, gambling houses, and having a lot of fun.
In the evening of that day, Su Liang accompanied Lao Bai to have dinner in the garden. Lanterns were hung at the four corners of the pavilion, and the hazy light made Su Liang's face softer, and Lao Bai became a little lost again.
"Master! Help!" Qi Jun shouted, breaking the silence.
Su Liang looked over in response and saw Qi Jun running towards him, Lao Mu chasing after him, Ling Dong seemed to be watching the fun, and followed him leisurely.
"What's going on?" Su Liang expressed confusion.
Both of them rushed into the pavilion. Lao Mu grabbed Qi Jun and took the lead, "Disciple, do you want this kid to play with me and listen to me?"
Su Liang nodded, "I did."
Qi Jun frowned, "Master, Senior Jin wants to visit a brothel. I don't want to go, but he insists on letting me go!"
Su Liang:......
Lao Mu coughed lightly, "What about going to a brothel? I've never been there in my life, I just want to see the excitement! What are you afraid of? Could someone eat you up?"
Qi Jun couldn't help but shake his head, "I won't go! Even if I kill you!"
"Master, if you want to go, just go and play by yourself. If you need money, just ask Liao Dong. Don't force Qi Jun, he is a good boy." Su Liang looked serious.
Qi Jun nodded in agreement, he is a good and innocent boy!
Lao Mu was unhappy, "I just want to take a look, am I going to be broken?"
Su Liang shook his head, "That's not what I meant. Master, go if you want. If Qi Jun doesn't want to go, don't force him."
"Then I'll go by myself, how embarrassing it is!" Lao Mu grabbed Qi Jun and wouldn't let go.
Lao Bai couldn't stand listening anymore, "Lao Jin, it's not a shameful thing, so stop yelling."
Lao Mu instantly became angry, "You actually called me shameless? Did you all hear it? He called me shameless!"
Lao Bai shook his head, "I didn't scold you, I just told the truth."
Seeing that the two old men were about to fight if they disagreed, Qi Jun quickly hugged Lao Mu and said, "Senior Jin, calm down."
"Then you come and play with me!" Lao Mu was still thinking about visiting the brothel.
Qi Jun's face froze, "This is really not okay!" If his father knew, he would get a beating. Besides, he didn't want to go to that kind of place.
Lao Bai looked disgusted and said, "Xiao Bai, please quickly ask Lao Jin to find his real apprentice. Don't stay at your house, knowing that squandering your money on eating, drinking and having fun is useless."
"Okay! Who brought you here? If it weren't for me, you would have been drunk to death! Burning bridges across the river!" When Lao Mu heard that Lao Bai asked Su Liang to drive him away, he was really angry.
Qi Jun did not hold back, but Su Liang stood between the two old men in time, grabbed the hand that Lao Mu hit, and smiled sweetly, "Master, I will accompany you to play."
Lao Mu's expression instantly turned gloomy, and he laughed loudly, "Good disciple! I don't care about Lao Bai, he is not your master, he is just a guest in our house!"
The deliberately emphatic word "our guest" made Lao Bai's face darken suddenly, "Lao Jin, you have a way of gesticulating, and whoever loses will go!"
Lao Mu hummed, "Who wants to fight with you? I want to go out and play with my good disciple! Hahahaha! My good disciple, let's go quickly!"
Su Liang turned around and coaxed Lao Bai with a smile, "We are just going to have a drink and watch the beautiful girls sing and dance."
"You are a girl, what kind of girl do you want to see? Who can be more beautiful than you? Don't you like his apprentice?" Lao Bai frowned.
"It's a pity that they don't want to." Su Liang sighed.
Lao Bai snorted coldly, "I'll go talk to him." He looked like he was going to beat Gu Ling to his will...
Su Liang finally comforted both of them and asked Lonicera to support Lao Bai and send him back to rest.
Then Su Liang changed into men's clothes without changing her appearance, and actually accompanied Lao Mu out of the house to visit a brothel.
Duanmu Yi already knew that there were two old men in Su Liang's family. Ren Dong reported to him that they were friends of Su Yuanzhou and had helped Su Liang when she was in trouble.
Su Liang and Lao Mu were walking on the streets of Beijing at night. Many shops were not closed. Lao Mu looked at the dimly lit night scene and couldn't help but sigh, "I used to be stupid. Life is short, so I should enjoy myself in time!"
I wasted most of my life in vain and ended up with nothing in the end!"
Su Liang chuckled, "I won't mention the past anymore, the present and the future are the important ones."
Lao Mu nodded, "You girl must have been sent by God to save me because of my loneliness, haha!"
The master and apprentice took a leisurely walk and arrived outside the Xunhua Building, the largest brothel in the capital.
Two pretty girls at the door were looking for customers. When they saw Su Liang's face, they were stunned for a moment, and then they came up to them with a sweet smile, "Isn't this Mr. Su?"
Su Liang raised his hands and feet, holding a handsome and handsome jade-faced young man.
Old Man Mu looked curiously into the Xunhua Building. He subconsciously grabbed Su Liang's sleeve with one hand and followed her step by step. Because he was too tall, he habitually hunched over when he was nervous, like a child.
Just when Su Liang smiled and greeted the girls, and was about to step in with one foot, the sound of horse hooves came from behind, "Xiao Liang!"
Su Liang was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Lin Bojun rushing over on horseback.
"Who is it?" Lao Mu scratched his head, feeling that his trip to the brothel might be ruined.
"Second brother, what happened?" Seeing Lin Bojun's anxious look, Su Liang ran over quickly.
Lin Bojun got off his horse and said, "Sister-in-law is about to give birth!"
Su Liang's expression was shocked, and by the time Lao Mu reacted, she had already mounted Lin Bojun's horse and drove away with her whip raised.
Lin Bojun also left quickly without noticing Lao Mu at all.
The Madam of Xunhua House knew that Lao Mu was accompanied by Su Liang, so he thought he must be a big shot, so he swayed over to him, leaned against him, and took his arm, "Master, come in quickly!"
Lao Mu was originally depressed because he was let go by Su Liang, but when he realized it, he was so frightened that he was approached by a woman for the first time in his life, he screamed, jumped up, and ran away without a trace...
…
That night, Gu Ling "sleepwalked" again to find Su Liang, and saw that Yuanming Pavilion was empty. He didn't know where Su Liang had gone, so he wandered around the house first to make sure she was not at home. He thought of Su Liang last night.
Liang mentioned that Lin Boyan's wife was going to give birth soon, so she guessed that Xu was at the Lin family, so she went there secretly.
Until dawn, the Lin family heard the loud cry of a baby, indicating that mother and child were safe.
Gu Ling, who had been listening to Su Liang deliver the baby at the back wall all night, then left silently.
Lin Boyan's son looks very much like him, and Lin Shuzhi has already chosen a name, Lin Jingyun.
When Su Liang returned home, it was almost noon, and when she heard Qi Jun say that Lao Mu was in a bad mood, she remembered that they had all arrived at the brothel door last night, and she had left Lao Mu alone.
When Su Liang found Lao Mu, he was sitting by the lake fishing.
From the back, it looked impressive, but when Su Liang got closer, he found that the fishhook had not been thrown into the water, but was still hanging on a dry aquatic plant...
Lao Bai was sitting in the pavilion in a daze again. Su Liang waved to him from afar, then sat down next to Lao Mu, "Master, I'm sorry, something happened suddenly last night. I went to deliver the baby for a friend."
"Oh, it's okay." Lao Mu's voice was muffled.
Su Liang felt something was wrong, "Master is not angry with me?"
"Why should I be angry when you go to do business? Am I that stingy in your eyes?" Lao Mu asked back.
Su Liang shook his head quickly, "Of course not. Then why is Master unhappy? Were you bullied at Xunhua Tower last night?"
When Lao Mu heard this, he immediately denied it, "Nonsense! It's nothing! I didn't even go in!"
"Master, don't be excited. Tell me what happened?" Su Liang asked.
Lao Mu sighed, "My good disciple, am I sick? I thought that I had never touched a woman in my life, so I went over to watch the excitement, have a glass of wine, and listen to a little song. But the old madam in the building leaned against me.
On my body, I will..."
"What's wrong?" Su Liang looked confused.
Lao Mu looked embarrassed, "I was scared away..."
Su Liang: ...I want to laugh, but I can't, I have to hold it in... No, I really want to laugh, I can't hold it in anymore...
Lao Mu saw Su Liang couldn't help laughing, dropped the fishing rod, got up and left angrily.
Su Liang hurriedly chased after him, "Master, don't be angry, I'm not laughing at you."
"You are just laughing at me!" Lao Mu said, glaring at Su Liang.
Su Liang swore that it wasn't true, she just thought Lao Mu was cute.
Then, Lao Mu talked about his "worry". It was really not because of Su Liang, but because after he came back last night, he couldn't think of anything and ran to Lao Bai for comfort. After dawn, the more he thought about it, the more he regretted it...
"My dear disciple, can I kill Lao Bai and silence him? Otherwise, the old bastard will definitely laugh at me forever." Lao Mu was a little crazy.
Su Liang patted Lao Mu on the shoulder and said, "Master, relax, it's not a shameful thing. It shows that master is... pure."
Lao Mu cried sadly, "I'm old now, and when your little girl praises me for my purity, it always sounds like she's scolding me... I won't say any more, I'll go find a drink!"
There are two old men with very different personalities in the Su Mansion, making it much more lively than before.
Su Liang, who had sworn to Lao Mu during the day that he would never tell anyone about his embarrassing story, saw Gu Ling again at night and couldn't help but share it with him.
