When Shi Lintao closed the door and returned to the hall, Ah Da had almost cleared away the tables. Lintao Pavilion has been doing well in business in recent years, so Shi Lintao hired two waiters in Xuanjia Village, but every time the Youshi hour came, he would

Let them go back to rest.

Shi Lintao looked at Ada who was cleaning up carefully and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Ada gave a rare smile and said, "What are you talking about?"

Shi Lintao said: "You didn't have to stay here."

Ah Da paused while wiping the table, and said calmly: "It's not bad here. At least there are acquaintances like you, and Xiao Wu who has grown up with you."

Shi Lintao smiled and said: "The little guy went out to make trouble again today, and he is probably waiting for us to eat in the backyard now."

Ah Da nodded and stopped talking, but the movements of his hands became faster, and he finished cleaning up in a short time.

Shi Lintao had just heated the food on the stove, so it was still warm when it was served. Shi Wu looked at the three dishes and one soup on the table, including roasted pork with dried bamboo shoots, stir-fried green vegetables, dried shredded ham, and yam and pork ribs soup.

He curled his lips and asked: "Why did the previous guests eat so richly, but when we come here, it becomes so ordinary?"

Shi Lintao put the wine bottle in his hand on the table and said: "Most of the guests come out to eat to have a good time. We eat to be with you."

Shi Wu didn't believe it: "I have such a great reputation?"

"You have." Ada said.

Shi Wu said unfairly: "Hey, even Grandpa A made fun of me!"

Xiuling pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Your father and your uncle didn't make fun of you. Who makes you the most beloved one in our family?" As she said that, she put a piece of ribs into Shi Wu's bowl.

Shi Wu smiled and said: "Then Daddy asked me to go out and walk around when I grow up."

Shi Lintao's face darkened after hearing this, and he flatly refused: "Don't even think about it anymore, just eat your food!"

Shi Wu looked at Ah Da pleadingly, and Ah Da shook his head helplessly and ate the food in the bowl alone. It was not that he didn't talk about this matter with Shi Lintao, but surprisingly, he asked Shi Wu to go out and try this thing.

In fact, Shi Lintao's attitude is very tough. Based on his many years of understanding of Shi Lintao, there must be something unspeakable, but Shi Lintao doesn't want to say it, and he won't force it.

Seeing that Grandpa A didn't speak for him, Shi Wu finished the meal roughly and said directly: "I'm done eating, you guys eat slowly." After that, he went back to his room.

"I'll go keep him company." Xiuling said uneasily when she saw Shi Wu's unhappy look.

Shi Lintao took Xiuling's hand and said, "He is ten years old and we can't spoil him anymore. You should pay more attention to this thing in your belly now."

Xiuling stroked her belly and said, "Actually, he just wanted to see the path you took before."

Shi Lintao clenched his fist and said, "You know, he can't go my way."

Xiuling said nothing, stood up and left the table.

Shi Lintao poured a glass of Sangluo wine into his throat and felt a burning sensation in his throat. He then filled it up again and drank nine glasses in a row.

Ah Da was eating alone. He carefully finished all the rice in the bowl, then filled a bowl of soup and drank it slowly.

Shi Lintao looked at Ah Da's appearance and said with a smile, "You haven't changed."

Ah Da nodded and said, "You have changed."

Shi Lintao hummed and said, "I have changed."

"There are disadvantages to not changing, and there are advantages to changing." Ada looked out the window and said in a daze, "It's autumn weather now, and the osmanthus flowers in the imperial capital are all blooming."

Shi Lintao seemed to be thinking something about it and said, "It's been a long time since I had the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Xiangsu Fang."

"Ten years." Ah Da stood up, his back seemed a little hunched, and walked back to his house step by step, leaving Shi Lintao alone to drink.

There are three rooms behind Lintao Pavilion. The one on the left belongs to A Da, the larger one in the middle is occupied by Shi Lintao and his wife, and the smaller one that was built not long ago is occupied by Shi Wu.

By the time Shi Lintao washed up and went to see Shi Wu, he had already fallen asleep and kicked the quilt away with his right foot. Shi Lintao smiled and covered him with the quilt and gently closed the door.

When Shi Lintao returned to the main room, Xiuling was lying on the bed. Shi Lintao took off his clothes, hugged Xiuling who was lying on his side and said, "What happened to you today?"

Xiuling sighed and whispered: "When I come back, I will give Xiaowu the last Yiku fruit to eat."

Shi Lintao's heart tightened and he asked, "Did he have that dream again?"

Xiuling nodded and said, "Tao, I'm afraid."

Shi Lintao gently comforted his wife and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Xiuling turned over, hugged Shi Lintao and said, "They will find her."

Shi Lintao said firmly: "Even if they come, I will protect you."

Xiuling had affection in her eyes and nodded heavily. I don't know whether it was because she was too tired or she needed more rest after being pregnant, but Xiuling fell asleep after a while.

Looking at his wife sleeping peacefully in his arms, Shi Lintao fell into deep thought.

The next morning, Shi Wu went out after breakfast, and Ah Da also went out on the pretext of purchasing. In fact, both Shi Lintao and Xiuling knew that Ah Da went out with Shi Wu.

"Grandpa, why didn't you speak for me yesterday?" Shi Wu complained.

Ah Da Dao: "It's useless."

Shi Wudao: "Hey, even you can't do anything. Then I will have to stay here for the rest of my life. What's the use of teaching me this swordsmanship! I might as well go back and learn cooking from my father."

"Self-defense." Ah Da Dao.

Shi Wu wondered: "Grandpa, is my father really a master? I have seen him cooking and cooking since I was a child. I have never even seen him kill a chicken."

Ah Da asked back: "Do you think I am a master?"

Shi Wu nodded hurriedly and said: "Master! Very high master!" Shi Wu had seen Ah Da's ability. He could poke a big hole in a tree with a branch. This is not a master!

Ah Da Dao: "I couldn't beat your father before."

Shi Wu was stunned and said: "Then why did my father come here to open a restaurant?"

Ah Da did not reply to him, but picked up a branch and said to him: "How many of the thirty-six swords that I taught you last time did you remember?"

Shi Wu scratched his head and said: "Four Swords..."

Ah Da said expressionlessly: "Which four swords?"

"Guanyuan sword, Zhongji sword, Qimen sword, Shangqu sword." Shi Wu replied.

Ada frowned and said: "The thirty-six swords to kill correspond to the fatal points of the human body. They are divided into four points: soft and numb, dizzy, light and heavy. There are nine points in each category. But the four swords you know are all

It's for soft numbness. If you don't want to learn my real skills, then forget it." Ada threw the branch aside, put his hands behind his back, and was about to leave.

Shi Wu saw through his thoughts and hurriedly stopped him and said: "Grandpa Ah, Grandpa Ah, it's not that Xiao Wu doesn't want to learn. But I saw your demonstration last time and listened to what you said. The dovetail, giant sword and other swords, strike

After the stroke, either the blood stagnated and the patient died, or the heart stopped, which is really terrible."

Ah Da shook his head and said: "Originally I thought Lintao was too old-fashioned, but now it seems he is right."

"Huh?" Shi Wu said unsurely.

Ah Da finally said: "You'd better go play with your friends." After saying that, he turned around and was already ten feet away from Shiwu.

Shi Wu looked at A Da who was walking away, and doubts arose in his heart: "Am I really not suitable for wandering in the world?"

Before he could think more, Xuan Haoran had already come to his side. Looking at Shi Wu in a daze, he patted Shi Wu on the shoulder. Shi Wu subconsciously used his two fingers to gather strength as a sword, and turned around.

The spin hit the Guanyuan point three inches below his navel. Xuan Haoran screamed, and suddenly felt his abdomen trembling, qi stagnation, and chest tightness. Fortunately, Shi Wu discovered it in time and immediately retracted his sword finger, and A Da had not yet taught him the inner strength formula.

, otherwise Xuan Haoran would have suffered greatly from just this sword point.

Shi Wu hurriedly helped Xuan Haoran rub the acupuncture points next to him to soothe him, and said apologetically: "Haoran, I'm sorry, I was just thinking about something."

Xuan Haoran wiped the cold sweat on his head and said: "You don't have to be so serious about things. Hey, what kind of martial arts is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

Although Ah Da did not ask Shi Wu to keep it secret, Shi Wu never revealed it to others. Therefore, Xuan Haoran habitually believed that Shi Wu knew the same as him. In fact, the martial arts Xuan Haoran said were more like children playing house.

Such a slapstick fight.

Shi Wu smiled and said: "I was just thinking about new moves. Didn't we make an appointment yesterday to fight Dahu and the others from the next village? We must eat Xiantao this year!"

Xuan Haoran took a breath and joked: "You still remember, but you injured our general first. Tell me, are you sent from the opposite side?"

"Yes, yes, I am going to knock down a general like you and then go to the appointment alone and beat them to a pulp." Shi Wu replied with a smile.

After hearing this, Xuan Haoran immediately jumped up anxiously, covering his abdomen with an ouch, and said: "No, no, no, Xiaoqiu from the next village will also come today. You can't let the limelight be taken up by you alone."

Shi Wu asked curiously: "Do you like her?"

When Xuan Haoran was asked this question, his fat and round face turned as red as an apple, and he whispered shyly: "She is the most beautiful in the next village."

"Oh, Brother Haoran likes Sister Xiaoqiu from Linjia Village!" A childish voice sounded, and he laughed.

Xuan Haoran pointed his fingers and said: "Shh!"

Shi Wu smiled and said: "My dear, have you brought anything?"

The little girl with two braids, known as Xiaoguai, nodded, took out two bamboo hats from behind, handed them to the two of them, and said: "I took these out secretly while my father was out fishing. How about you guys?"

When you're done, please return it to me quickly."

Shi Wu and Xuan Haoran took the bamboo hats and put them on their heads, quite like knights in the martial arts world. Xuan Haoran said: "I just lack a handy weapon."

"The weapons are coming, the weapons are coming." Two more little boys ran over from a distance.

Shi Wu and Xuan Haoran looked at each other and smiled and said, "These little guys are quite interested."

"Brother Xiao Wu, this is the weapon that Erdan and I have prepared for you. Let's see if we can take advantage of it." One of the little boys, who looked to be four or five years old, smiled and handed over a very smooth tree stick.

Shi Wu.

Xuan Haoran took over first and said, "I'll give it a try." He started dancing there.

Shi Wu took the one from Er Dan, weighed it, and tied it to his back with a rope after he knew what it was.

Xuan Haoran saw Shi Wu dressed up like this and tied the gourd in the same way.

Xiaoguai looked at them and said, "You really don't need us to help you out?"

Xuan Haoran said hurriedly: "No, no, no, the sword has no eyes. I'm afraid I might accidentally hurt you, so just wait at home for us to bring Xiantao back."

Although brothers Xiaoguai and Erdan were reluctant to give up, they still said: "Okay."

Shi Wu smiled and said to them: "I will let you eat fairy peaches this time."

"Yeah!" Xiaoguai nodded heavily, and his two cute braids swayed accordingly.
