Mortal Mirror

Upon hearing Li Ergou's words, the Great White Elephant immediately said seriously, "I might have been a bit bad before, but I promise I won't be anymore. We're friends now."

Li Ergou nodded, "Yeah, friends."

The Great White Elephant smiled, a genuine, hearty laugh.

Li Ergou also smiled, not knowing why, whether it was because of the word 'friend' or something else, perhaps he didn't know.

"Let's go, I'll treat you to wine," the Great White Elephant said, patting his chest.

"Wine? I've never had wine before. I heard it's really spicy," Li Ergou said with wide, curious eyes.

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay. If you don't like it, we'll drink plum juice. That stuff is sweet and sour, I love it too."

"Plum juice? What's that?"

"It's a very delicious drink, haven't you had it before?"

"Hehe, I really haven't. I've had water soaked with elm leaves, it's cool and a little sweet."

"Wow, soaking leaves in water, you're something else. Wait till I treat you to the best Meishan tea, and have Ping'er brew it for you."

"Ping'er, is she pretty? Is she prettier than Cuihua? Cuihua has wide hips and a thick back, strong legs, and a big butt. She's the village flower in our village."

The Great White Elephant: "...!!!???"

Everyone: "..." (falling to the ground)...

Shi Tou couldn't help but laugh a few times. He suddenly thought that this opportunity was the best chance for him to get close to Li Ergou. So, without hesitation, he shouted to the two in front, "Hey, wait for me! I also contributed just now, okay? Why don't you take me with you? I want to be your friend too."

Li Ergou suddenly felt that the world was changing too fast. In the past, everyone looked down on him, no one would give him a second glance. He was like dust, so humble to the bone, always ignored by everyone.

He never dreamed that he would have friends, and one wasn't enough, now there was a second, a third.

He wanted to laugh, but he didn't know why he couldn't. There was still a bitter taste in his heart.

Life was too bitter. He originally didn't want to come for another life, but inexplicably, he was now full of hope for life. When did this start?

From the time he got the bronze mirror, from the time he left Huang Laocai's house, from the time he obtained that nameless cultivation technique, from the time he cultivated martial arts true qi, or from the time he had his first friend?

Everything seemed to be going in a good direction, everything seemed to be becoming beautiful.

Do hardships really pass? Perhaps tomorrow will really be bright. If there is light in the heart, will there be no darkness?

This time, he really smiled, perhaps he had figured something out, perhaps he had understood something. His heart became truly happy. Perhaps, darkness will ultimately not be able to suppress the dawn of day, and the night will eventually pass.

Three people, three backs, this moment seemed like a frozen frame, beautiful and brilliant.

The center-right of Tiangou Town has the largest restaurant in the town, Qunxian Restaurant, a high-end and classy name. On the second floor, by the window, looking at the table full of big fish, big meat, and delicacies, Li Ergou felt like crying.

He had lived for so long, and this was the first time he knew that in this world, besides chickens, ducks, geese, fish, sheep, cattle, and pigs, there were other foods.

He didn't know that food could be made so delicious. The most tragic thing was that in front of the two of them, he couldn't copy all the dishes here and take them home to eat secretly.

He felt like he was losing out big time.

Turning grief into appetite, the three of them didn't eat slowly and politely like the people at the other tables, saying polite words and platitudes.

Everyone picked up their chopsticks and ate and drank without any image, their cheeks stuffed full.

This scene couldn't help but make some old people sigh, how indecent, an insult to culture.

However, Li Ergou didn't understand the meaning of these words. Even if he did, with his personality, he wouldn't care, okay? He felt that eating should look like eating. For example, this elbow should be picked up and torn apart, that's the way to enjoy it.

This was also his first time drinking alcohol. The waiter told him that this wine was called Forget-Sorrow, and it was a specialty of Tiangou Town. After drinking it, you can forget your worries and be carefree.

Someone once drank too much of this wine and forgot their home and wife. Fortunately, they finally remembered after a few days. So later, the shopkeeper advised, don't drink too much.

Li Ergou felt that this wine was very delicious, soft on the palate, with a hint of spiciness and a hint of sweetness, and warm and comfortable in the stomach.

Three teenagers, young and frivolous, naturally wouldn't listen to the waiter's words, just took it as a joke and forgot about it, eating meat and drinking wine, having a great time.

The three teenagers toasted each other, and couldn't help but talk about their own things.

Shi Tou didn't have much to say, just said that cultivation was usually very hard. The Great White Elephant told a lot of interesting stories about girls. Li Ergou didn't really have much to say, just told about his difficult experiences.

What he didn't expect was that the Great White Elephant looked carefree, but he listened with tears in his eyes. Shi Tou didn't expect Li Ergou to be so miserable, and a trace of guilt flashed across his face for no reason.

Li Ergou saw Shi Tou suddenly gulp down three big bowls of Forget-Sorrow wine, which stunned Li Ergou and the Great White Elephant, thinking that this guy was crazy.

They naturally didn't know why Shi Tou was like this, and only he himself knew the meaning of these three bowls of wine.

Li Ergou saw that Shi Tou wanted to drink more, and immediately grabbed his wrist and said, "Drink slowly, this wine is very expensive."

Shi Tou: "..."

The Great White Elephant suddenly laughed loudly, but at this moment, his laughter stopped abruptly, and he froze in place.

Li Ergou saw his expression and followed his gaze. In front of the town, a dwarf was leading a little donkey, slowly coming from a distance.

This was not the most important thing. The important thing was that on the little donkey sat a woman wearing a bamboo hat and a light veil covering her nose and below. The woman was wearing a red dress. Not to mention her appearance, just this dress was enough to amaze the entire town.

In the setting sun, everyone saw such a beautiful picture: a dwarf, a donkey, a red dress. Leisurely, like a ink painting.

"Who is she? I bet this woman must be very beautiful," the Great White Elephant said, narrowing his eyes and betting.

Li Ergou snorted and said, "So what if she's beautiful? She's skinny, and you can tell she doesn't have much meat on her body. With this physique, you can tell she can't farm.

A woman should be able to work and have a big butt so she can have lots of children. That kind of woman is the best."

Shi Tou and the Great White Elephant were immediately shocked by these words, as if they were looking at a monster.

Li Ergou was completely unaware, his eyes full of Cuihua's plump appearance.

At this moment, the woman in red had already walked to the bottom of Qunxian Restaurant. She suddenly raised her head and looked at the three teenagers, a trace of killing intent flashing in her eyes.
