Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty Sixth [Small Night Guest]
Chapter 336 [Night guest in a small shop]
"Lufik, do you know that waste is a very bad habit? Eat, you have to finish all these things." Duwei took a sip of wine. This low-grade spirit flows down the esophagus.
It felt like a fire all the way down, but in this cold weather, it made people shiver comfortably.
"Look, kid. You know, in this damn weather, it's so late, and it's a holiday, but the boss here doesn't close the door, and is still operating. It's obvious that he's in great difficulty, and he's struggling to survive here.
, hoping to make a little more money." Du Wei said and smiled: "And me, I just need to take out a gold coin... A gold coin is like a piece of grass to me. But.
, but it can make them happy, sweep away the sorrow on their faces, and sweep away the fatigue of the day. Do you understand? This is the benefit of money. When you become a king in the future, you must understand this truth. A person who does not understand money
A king of strength is not a good king."
Lufik remembered Du Wei's words deeply in his heart, and then he saw this young master who awed him behave strangely again.
Du Wei took out an exquisite dagger from his arms, then touched it again, and found a piece of clean wood. Then Du Wei pinched the piece of wood, the blade flickered, and after a moment,
He cut out two long and thin wooden sticks, and then ordered the messenger to come over, clean the two wooden sticks and bring them back up. Du Wei weighed them in his hand, as if he was very satisfied, and his expression became even happier.
a bit.
Under Lufik's gaze, Du Wei held these two wooden sticks in one hand, flipping them up and down, picking up meat or beans, and he was extremely skillful in using them.
The eating habits of people on Roland Continent are all knives and forks. Where has Lufic seen anyone using such things? After watching it for a while, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Want to try?" Du Wei smiled and handed over the chopsticks in his hand. Lufik hesitated and took it, but just tried to pick up a bean, but couldn't get it right. The bean easily slipped between the two wooden sticks.
It slipped and fell to the ground.
"Ah...Master, I...I deserve to die." Lufic was startled and stood up with a cry.
"Of course you can't use it for the first time." When Du Wei said this, he suddenly sighed: "In the past, the person who taught me how to use chopsticks... now, I don't know how the old man is doing... I'm afraid
I have no chance to see them again."
Seeing Du Wei's silence, Lufic dared not interrupt, so he could only stand aside quietly.
After a long time, Du Wei seemed to have come back to his senses and glanced at the frightened young man: "Sit down, don't stand."
Seeing Lufic sitting down again, Du Wei slowly said: "Actually, you will leave my side soon. At that time, you don't need to be so afraid of me. You see, Knight Ruolin has been out for so long, and she wants to come.
She should be back soon. The day she comes back is when you go home."
The expression on Lufik's face suddenly became strange. He seemed to have taken great courage, and then he said something that even Du Wei could not think of.
"Master, I, I, can I not go back?"
"?" Du Wei looked at the young man in surprise. He really didn't expect that the young man would actually say such a sentence.
"Why?" Du Wei suddenly sneered: "Are you afraid of me? Do you think I am testing you by saying this?"
"No. It's not."
"What is that? Could it be that I have been a little kinder to you today, so you are not afraid of me anymore?"
"No, no, no." Lufik's expression immediately changed, and he quickly said: "Lufik is in awe of his master, how dare he..."
Du Wei's expression softened slightly: "Then why don't you want to go back? You are just my servant here, and you have to be my groom. When I go out, you have to get up early and stay up late. And you are afraid of me. Leave.
Come home here. You will be the king, above all others. Isn’t it great?"
Lufik trembled for a moment, then bravely raised his head and said: "Master, I originally thought so too. Going back to be a king is like a dream. It seems very beautiful. But then
, as the days went by, I thought about it carefully. Who is the king? Everyone must listen to the king. But what am I, Lufik, capable of? Why should others listen to me and be afraid of obeying me? I’m afraid even if I go back
It’s nothing more than a...puppet."
Du Wei suddenly laughed: "Well, that's right. It seems that you have grown up these days and you even know how to use the word puppet."
In fact, although Du Wei has always been very strict with Lufik, he has also cultivated him intentionally or unintentionally. As Lufik is his coachman, Du Wei will take him with him whenever he goes out, and Du Wei talks to some people.
Fick, the coachman, could also listen. Du Wei seemed to have done it on purpose and never hid it from him. For a young man, it was as if Du Wei had taught him by words and deeds many times.
"Also... I am always afraid of being a king. I, I am a useless person. I can't even do my own thing well, how can I be a good king? Besides, when the time comes, I don't know what to do.
How many people have I faced? You, you have already taught me that there are good people and bad people in this world. As a child who doesn’t understand anything, if I become the king, I don’t know how many people will be dissatisfied and how many bad people will come to harm me.
I...I, I really don’t dare to go back.”
He stammered such words, which surprised Du Wei. Although this young man was a little cowardly under his own oppression, he seemed to understand the truth in his heart.
"But aren't you very afraid of me? Wouldn't it be better to leave me?"
Lufik took a long breath, and his tone was even more awe-inspiring: "Well... Actually, speaking of it, I am in awe of you, Master, but I am not afraid either."
Du Wei smiled: "How to say?"
"Although you are very strict with me, at least I know what I should and shouldn't do when I am with you. If I do something wrong, you will punish me. If I do something right, you will reward me. Although it is harsh.
But I know exactly what I want to do. As long as I am careful and don't make mistakes, it will be fine. Besides... I also have a very strange feeling, but I don't dare to say it."
"Go on, I'll let you say it today." Du Wei smiled lightly.
Lufik gritted his teeth and whispered: "Following you. Although I am in awe of the master, I feel that I only need to be afraid of the master, but I don't have to be afraid of other people. I have
This kind of feeling, as long as I am obedient and work hard under the master's hand, I don't have to be afraid of any nobles, royal ministers or ministers. When I stay with the master, others don't dare to bully me. But... if I leave
Although you don’t need to be afraid of you anymore... But I’m afraid I’ll have to be afraid of more people and things in the future. I don’t know how many people will bully me in the future. So, speaking of which, I’d better stay by your side.
, relatively simple.”
Du Wei was stunned for a while. Then he finally couldn't bear it anymore and burst out laughing.
After laughing for a while, Du Wei stopped his voice and looked at the boy carefully: "Are these your sincere words?"
Lufic quickly lowered his head in fear.
Du Wei nodded. He was a magician. Under the strong spiritual power, the boy's breathing rate and even heartbeat when he spoke could not be hidden from him. It seemed that he was telling the truth and was not lying.
"You are very smart." Du Wei said lightly: "If you have this idea in your heart, then you won't have to suffer much if you stay with me in the future."
Lufik was overjoyed and immediately said: "Then...you promised not to send me back?"
Du Wei smiled: "I didn't say that. It's inevitable that you go back, but even if you go back, I will still be your master. Who dares to bully you anywhere in Nanyang? You don't have to be afraid. Just remember
In this world, you only need to fear me."
Just as I said this, I suddenly heard the sound of light footsteps coming from the door of the small shop. The young waiter in the shop immediately greeted me. Then a delicate figure walked in from the door, dressed in white, and suddenly
It adds a sense of mystery to this dark little shop.
Du Wei raised his head and looked at the man walking in, and couldn't help but be startled.
This woman came in, with a slender and graceful figure, dressed in white, with a faint air of holiness. And her face was even more exquisite, just like a bright and charming beauty, but this woman's face was filled with loneliness at this moment.
and loneliness, even with deep exhaustion in his eyes.
As soon as she walked in, she saw Du Wei. The two made eye contact and were both stunned. Then Du Wei was the first to react and couldn't help laughing.
"Your Highness, I didn't expect to meet you at this time tonight, in this place."
When Her Royal Highness the Saint saw Du Wei, she immediately felt very regretful and wanted to turn around and leave. However, after hearing Du Wei's words, she felt a little bit unwilling. If she turned around and left like this, wouldn't she be afraid of the other party?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Du Wei again, rolled her eyes, and whispered: "Prince Tulip, you are also in such a good mood. You don't even like the fine wine and food at home, but you come to this small shop.
Do you want to drink alone here?"
"It's better to drink alone than to drink together. Your Highness, please take a seat. How could I still meet you here? I am also surprised that such a dignified royal family member and a saint from the temple came to such a small shop on this New Year's Eve.
Come."
As soon as Du Wei finished speaking, Lufic stood up with a wink, quickly swept the chair next to him, and gave up his seat.
Her Royal Highness the Saint sat down slowly, and the expression on her face had returned to calm.
This was a strange and embarrassing scene. A man and a woman, who could be called enemies, met each other in such a dark shop on such a special New Year's Eve.
Seeing the unconcealed loneliness and loneliness on the face of this saint, Du Wei originally planned to make two provocative and sharp words, but he didn't think about it at the moment. He suddenly sighed and said lightly: "I'll be here tonight.
Let’s not talk about noble saints. It seems that you and I are both people who have their own concerns, so you might as well have a few cups of wine and put all those mundane things aside for the time being before walking out of here."
The saint immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes lit up.
She suddenly smiled and said loudly: "Boss, bring up a plate of noodles made by you."
Then she smiled at Du Wei and said, "It seems this is your first time here. The bread made by the boss here tastes good. It's the best to wrap the beans here and drink it with wine."
Du Wei laughed, but gave the saint a special look: "It seems you are a regular customer?"
The saint's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she took a deep breath: "Since my father died, in the past two years, every summer memorial ceremony, my birthday, and New Year's Day... I will hide here alone.
Have two drinks.”
Her eyes were fixed on Du Wei: "Speaking of which, I no longer have anyone to be close to... Grand Duke Tulip, it can be said that these are gifts from you."
Du Wei was startled, and then sighed: "We agreed not to mention this, but if you say this, it spoils the atmosphere. Alas... I am also alone and have nothing to do, so I came here at night like this.
Speaking of which, my mood is similar to yours."
The coldness in the saint's eyes faded, and she finally nodded: "Yes, you are right. I won't say any more."
She suddenly reached out and took Du Wei's wine glass. Du Wei was stunned and said with a smile: "Well, it turns out that I thought clergy were prohibited from drinking..."
Before he could finish speaking, the saint had already raised her neck and finished the drink in one gulp.
Snap!
The cup was placed heavily on the table, but the saint let out a sigh of relief: "I originally thought that a majestic Duke and a man of great influence like you would never be lonely."
