Strangers

Since Guixintang promised to withdraw the personal threat to us, there must be other ways to continue to control Boss Qi, so I think they are still hiding their cards. "

"Apart from the few of us, what else can threaten him?" Wei Yuanyang pulled out a big king.

"That's something he has to ask himself." Xie Yu asserted.

☆, gambler

At noon, the sea breeze blew a siren, and the cruise ship slowly pushed away the revetment and sailed towards the infinitely wide blue.

When Qi Xie and Ding Li entered the main dining room on the second floor, they saw Qian Sining sitting at a large round table next to him, talking with a middle-aged man.Qi Xie wanted to avoid it, but felt that it was too deliberate, so he stepped forward and pulled the chair away, but before he could sit down, the man looked over at him.

Qian Sining saw the strange look on the man's face, so he asked them if they knew each other.

"Mianshan, Mianshan!" The man said with a grin, "This is called having eyes, isn't it!"

Qi Harmony nodded politely.

The man looked at his ancient clothes with a click of his tongue: "At first glance, this gentleman is not an ordinary person. Where is he?"

Qi Xie smiled: "Why do you say it so high, it's just a businessman."

"Ah, you are too modest!" The man laughed and took out a business card, "My surname is Fan, I write some small articles to make a living."

Qi Xie took the business card, and saw the word Fan Jin written on it, and the three titles of reporter, photographer, and freelance writer listed next to it. There was no specific work unit, but a website was attached.

"Brother Fan." Qi Xie put away his business card and cupped his hands.

Fan Jin returned the gift imitatively, and soon the remaining seats at the same table were filled with tourists. The waiter served the dishes, and Fan Jin immediately acted as the host and greeted everyone to be polite, talking about his past while eating. The places he has been to, such as climbing snow-capped mountains and crossing deserts, have been blown away by him every time. The meal ended with a lively atmosphere, and people nodded and left.

"Then I'm excused too?" Qian Sining took the bag behind the chair.

"Miss Qian is leaving now?" Fan Jin immediately put down the toothpick, "What's our name? After ten years of training, we crossed the same boat! No, it's a chance to meet thousands of miles away! It's such a rare coincidence, let's chat for a while?"

Qian Sining's bag was pressed on her lap, obviously trying to think about what to say, before she could speak, Fan Jin suddenly lowered his voice: "Actually, since we chatted so well, I have something I want to tell you guys!"

"What's the matter?" Qian Sining could only ask.

Fan Jin moved closer to her: "This ship is going to have an accident!"

Qian Sining raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: "How do you say?"

Fan Jin looked around and said in a low voice: "I didn't come on the boat this time for a trip. It was a brother in the circle who leaked the news that there was a problem in the sea! Hundreds of boats were missing before, and even the wreckage of the accident was found. If it doesn’t arrive, it will disappear inexplicably!”

Qian Sining pretended not to believe and smiled: "How is it possible."

Fan Jin checked his surroundings again and again: "To tell you the truth, I have been following all kinds of mysterious incidents for more than [-] years, and this time I came here specially for an unannounced visit. By the way, the business card I gave you just now is There is my website."

As he spoke, he took out his laptop and opened the homepage. On the screen was a dark page with the seven words "Mysterious Events Archives" written in miserable red letters on the title. The homepage was divided into four sections, such as supernatural events, The legends of ghosts and ghosts, and stories of strange encounters and strange stories are very similar.The last section is called the curator's report. Fan Jin said that it is his own investigation, arranged in chronological order, the earliest large-scale report on the double carp jade pendant, and there are also familiar things such as the transparent coffin of the Yellow River, the boy in red, and the 330 bus. weird events.

"It seems that Brother Fan has handled a lot of things!" Qi Xie praised him.

"Of course!" Fan Jin couldn't care less about being modest.

Qi Xie cut to the point at the right time: "Then what do you think about the disappearance of this ship?"

"This..." Fan Jin smacked his lips. "According to my years of investigation into mysterious events, the situation here is very similar to Bermuda. It may be a space wormhole caused by the folds of the electromagnetic field."

Ding Li asked tentatively: "You mean those ships were teleported to another dimension?"

"You can say that!" Fan Jin lit a cigarette, and the waiter next to him came to remind him that this was a non-smoking restaurant, and he pressed the cigarette out resentfully and held it in his hand.

"Then isn't our trip very dangerous?" Assistant Qian pretended to be nervous.

"That's true." Fan Jin looked solemn, "But I also heard news that this is the maiden voyage of the Southern Star, and the owner of the ship is also here, and he lives in the presidential suite upstairs, so he must guarantee the safety of the ship. safety, who do you think is willing to put his life on it?"

Qi Xie smiled: "Unexpectedly, Brother Fan is quite well-informed, and even knows where the owner of the ship lives."

"That's not true! In our business, information is the primary productive force!" Fan Jin habitually put the cigarette in his mouth, and put it down after reacting. I can’t find any information at all! My brother only got the inside information from an organization last month, hey, what’s the name of that company... Yes, Guixintang!”

"Oh?" Qi Xie looked at Qian Sining intentionally, "What is the origin of Guixintang?"

Fan Jin hissed: "Have you seen the "X-Files" in the United States? It is an organization that specializes in investigating mysterious phenomena. This Guixintang is similar to it. Those investigative departments."

"What's the use of investigating those?" Qi Xie asked.

"It's hard for me to guess. According to the conspiracy theory, I have everything." Fan Jin's cell phone rang suddenly.

Qian Sining took the opportunity to look at his watch: "Then you are busy first, I should go back."

"Hey, that's really embarrassing! You go slowly, we'll talk again when you have time!" Fan Jin picked up the phone with a bow.

Putting the business card in the front, the two were wandering on the deck, Qi Xie gave Ding Li a sideways look, and saw that he was silent again.

"Look over there." Qi Xie pointed to the distance.

Ding Li looked over: "What?"

"Did you notice any difference?"

Ding Li was absent-minded: "No."

"There's a group of '僶' over there."

"Min?"

Qi Xie nodded: "It grows on the surface of the sea, and it is a monster that lives in groups. The individual is extremely small, and its lifespan is extremely short. The idiom originally used to describe it, meaning that it only takes a blink of an eye from life to death. They can move only when they are densely integrated into a group, and the shape of the group changes with the tide, sometimes it seems to have grown limbs or fins, and occasionally flapping the water surface for people to see, they are mistaken for mermaids.”

"Oh." Ding Li looked at the empty sea.

"Look at that cloud again." Qi Xie pointed to the sky again.

Ding Li looked up: "Is it the whiter one?"

"There lived a thing called 'One Foot Rain'. It was thin and transparent, about one foot long, with a waist ring in the middle. Every rainy season, it broke into two pieces and fell into the sea with the rain. One Foot Rain Congenitally asexual, it becomes a female after being broken, and turns into a male as soon as it touches the sea surface, and instinctively traces up the rain, and combines with those females who have not fallen in time. If any male Yichiyu is lucky enough to be among thousands of If the female finds its other half, there will be a rainbow on the sea after the rain.”

"The probability is very small." Ding Li said.

"That's why rainbows are not common. By the way, there is another story about Xisha. It is said that a long time ago, a mass of blood algae grew in this sea. If you eat it, you can prolong your life and live forever. Three brothers in a family heard about it and went through a lot of hardships to find it. Here, it was finally discovered near a reef, and it was eaten in one night, and it became an immortal monster for generations. However, when they lived to be three hundred years old, a terrible rumor flowed out in the world, saying that the algae After eating it, it will be fused into their blood, as long as ordinary people drink up this algae blood, they can also gain mysterious power and become immortal like them."

"So the three of them were arrested and bled one by one?" Ding Li asked vaguely.

"More than three people, including all their descendants." Qi Xie observed his expression, "People who heard the rumors killed them, drank algae blood, and indeed became immortals. But the same thing happened again and again, and other people Came to kill the blood drinkers, drank their blood, and some people killed them, and the cycle repeats. Longevity has become a curse, and any family that is infected will have a bad end for generations."

Ding Li snorted.

"Later, in order to get rid of their fate, some people cut off their families and left their hometowns. They kept their names incognito for many years and were finally forgotten by people. Now those descendants who bleed algal blood live around us..." Qi Xie paused, seeing that he was still bored He didn't say a word, so he asked, "Are you still angry because of that incident just now?"

"No." Ding Li refused to admit it.

"Then...do you want to try your luck?"

"What kind of luck?" Ding Li didn't understand.

"Let's go!" Qi Xie smiled, and dragged him to the casino of the cruise ship without any explanation, took out his room card and slapped it on the front desk, "For [-] chips."

Ding Li was taken aback: "Do you have money and no place to spend it?"

Qi Xie didn't take it seriously: "How did you know I would lose?"

Ding Li frowned: "Nine times out of ten bets, this is the experience I gained from playing slot machines in the canteen in junior high school for three years."

"Then I am the tenth." Qi Xie grabbed the chips and walked in.

The casino is not too big, it is noisy and dim, and gamblers swarm around the lights like flying insects.Some are calm and calm, winning or losing tens of thousands of faces without changing their faces; some have an attitude of experience, spending hundreds of dollars to play a few games at will; Throwing is just for a momentary rush of adrenaline.

Qi harmony casually approached a table.

"This should be Bai///Jia///Le." Ding Li explained.

"I don't understand." Qi Xie switched tables, who were shouting openly, when the dealer's croupier lifted the dice cover, several cheered and some slapped their foreheads in frustration.

Qi Xie observed the rules for a while and understood the rules: "Three dice, the total points of 4 to 10 are considered small, 11 to 17 are considered large, and the player with the same three points loses."

"I know that." Ding Li pointed to the white frame on the table, "You can also bet on specific numbers, and the odds are even greater."

Qi Xie gave him half of the bargaining chip, and Ding Li weighed it: "One month's salary."

Qi Xie smiled: "It's too miserable for you to be a doctor, why don't you come and work for me."

"No." Ding Li looked at the gaming table. The croupier snapped the black cover and pressed the switch, only to hear the dice beating briskly inside, and the betting light came on with a bang. Throw it away from the betting area.

Qi Xie crushed a single chip, pondered for a while and stretched out his hand to bet big.

"Buy and leave -" the croupier shouted mechanically and expressionlessly.

Everyone stared at the upside-down dice cover, as if they wanted to make a hole out of it.

Click, kick.

"2, 3, 5." The croupier mechanically reported the number, and the 1000 yuan chips were instantly scraped away.

"Nine out of ten bets, let me say." Ding Li looked at him as a matter of course.

"Then I will win the tenth hand." Qi Xie said and bet another big one.

1, 4, 4.

"The second one." Ding Li reminded.

Qi Xie hummed, and then made three consecutive bets and paid repeatedly.

Ding Li patted him on the shoulder: "It's about accumulating character."

"No." Qi Xie was not reconciled, "Before I bet too small, I didn't care about the result, my obsession was not deep enough, luck would naturally not flow to our side, so..."

Wow, he put all the remaining [-] into a white box that pays [-] for [-].

Everyone looked over.

The amount was not too big, but he bet on a combination of 1 and 2, which means that two of the three numbers drawn out must be 1 and 2 in order to win. ——If it wasn't for burning buns, only big gamblers would have such inexplicable confidence.

"Then I'll bet small." Several people followed suit and threw their chips over.

"He was always losing just now, so it's better to bet the other way around." Several people silently bet big.

"Buy and leave—" the croupier finally shouted.

open! 3, 3, 6.Voices of disappointment or contempt immediately came from the gaming table.

Ding Li was thinking about whether to comfort him, but Qi Xie didn't pay attention to his surroundings at all. He lowered his head as if he was thinking about something seriously, and finally muttered something before walking towards the front desk.

"What are you doing?" Ding Li thought badly and hurriedly followed.

"Buy chips." Qi Xie took out the silver///line///card with a snap.

Ding Li pressed his hand: "If you want to play with me, I will return these to you, don't buy any more."

"It's for you, there's no reason to come back." He said and handed the card to the front desk. Ding Li just wanted to stop it, but Qi Xie took a step faster, picked up five chips and squeezed them back there. tables.

Ding Li sighed helplessly. Seeing that Qi Xie was staring at the black cap and didn't dare to disturb him, the betting lights flicked on. He thought for a moment, and bet all his 4 chips into the combination of 6 and [-] .

open!

2, 4, 5.Everyone booed and groaned, watching helplessly that the 5 yuan was put into the banker's pocket in the blink of an eye.

However, Qi Xie didn't care and turned around and left, which gave Ding Li an ominous premonition immediately. Sure enough, he heard him say three words to the exchange desk as soon as he caught up: 100 million.

☆, chips

Hearing the word 100 million, Ding Li immediately dragged him aside: "You are crazy!"

Qi Xie stretched his arms away: "The public don't make any moves."

Ding Li said with a straight face, "How many millions do you have?"

"Not many."

"Then you still bet!"

"Of course you have to gamble, otherwise you will lose in vain?"

"Well, that's what a gambler thinks so he will go bankrupt."

"Why do I have to go bankrupt." Qi Xie was puzzled, "I just said that I would lose if I didn't have enough obsession, so the bet must be big enough to make you feel sad if you lose."

"You still know it hurts?" Ding Li deliberately said ironically.

"That's natural. My money didn't fall from the sky."

"Then you should control yourself!"

"Now is not the time to be restrained." Qi Xie said convincingly, "I lost so many times with great difficulty, and it's time to win next."

Seeing that he couldn't resist him, Ding Li backed down a step: "Then you can buy less, up to [-] more."

"100 is too little, and we will still lose." Qi Xie did not compromise, "[-] million is the bottom line."

"No." Ding Li vetoed it.

Qi Xie frowned: "I didn't spend your money."

"That's not OK!"

Qi Xie ignored him and insisted on changing the chips. He held a red and white plastic coin in his hand, so light that it seemed weightless.

Ding Li also knew how stubborn his temper was, so he could only ask one last time: "Do you want to think about it again?"

Qi Xie replied decisively: "No."

"What if we lose again?"

"Then bet more until you win."

Ding Li immediately began to think about different ways to drag him out of the casino, and saw Qi Xie took a few deep breaths, closed his eyes at the upside-down dice cup on the table, and muttered in his mouth, but he didn't know what he was repeating. Then firmly pressed with two fingers, pressing the chip into a frame like a general.

The combination of 6 plus 6, one pays eight.

The eyes of the surroundings gathered in an instant, and people speculated whether it was an act of insanity or a big gambler. As soon as the croupier shouted to leave, dozens of eyes stared at the upside-down dice cup. In the silence, it seemed that he was spitting can be heard.

open--

5, 6, 6!There was only an uproar in an instant!

Qi Xie breathed a sigh of relief, came back to his senses and took the nine chips back, after thinking about it, he threw out one and exchanged it for a small denomination, and shouted "Whoever sees it has a share" and sprinkled it on the table, and all the chips were scattered on the table. Boiled out of this table.

"800 million...?" Ding Li couldn't believe it.

"Let me calm down." Qi Xie pressed his left chest, "My heart has never been beating so fast in my life."

"I thought you didn't care." Ding Li also heaved a sigh of relief.

"How can it be indifferent, do you really think I'm being taken advantage of?" Qi Xie stabilized his mood, "What do you want to play?"

"You have won like this, what else is there for me to have fun."

"Let's go, let's play slot machines with you." Qi Xie pulled him to the other side of the casino.

Ding Li exchanged coins, found a machine and sat down, randomly stuffed a dozen or so coins and pressed a few buttons skillfully, and saw the rotating lights slowly stop, and the coins fell down with a clatter.

"Not bad!" Qi Xie was quite surprised.

"Of course." Ding Li stared at the machine, "The junior high school spent more than 1000 yuan playing this."

"I can't see you've ever done something like this."

"Yeah." Ding Li continued to insert coins, "What monster did you summon to help just now?"

"No."

"How would you know what to drive without you?"

"Obsession, when I was about to open it just now, I kept thinking about two sixes, two sixes, two sixes, and it finally came out."

Ding Li turned to look at him: "It's true."

Qi Xie swore: "Of course it's true."

Ding Li pressed the button noncommittally.

"You don't believe it?" Qi Xie asked.

"I don't believe it, I just think your theory is very strange. If you win, it proves that you are right. If you lose, it means that the amount is not large enough. Such an unlimited bet will always win once, which still proves that you are right. "

"I was right." Qi Xie was full of confidence.

"But it's very troublesome if it can't be falsified, and you will be stuck inside and can't get out." Ding Li took the coins from the basket and picked them up.

After changing the chips and charging them back into the card, the two stepped out of the smoky casino to take a deep breath of fresh air, went back to their room and turned on the air conditioner, and slept until dinner time.

After tidying up, Qi Xie went upstairs, and went straight to the open-air high-end restaurant on the top deck.

Ding Li seemed to guess his intention: "You don't have to do this."

Qi Xie ignored him: "Chinese food or Western food?"

Ding Li sighed: "I'm really not angry anymore, you don't need to coax me around the bush."

"Why should I coax you? I want to eat something good, don't you?" Qi Xie said and walked towards the bow. The Chinese restaurant was almost full, and there were more than a dozen tables chatting and drinking. The two of them looked over and finally found a side s position.

Taking the menu from the waiter, Qi Xie didn't even look at it and handed it to the opposite side: "Order whatever you want."

Ding Li flipped through the price list, which was several times higher than that on land: "After staying with you for a long time, I will definitely develop a good habit of being extravagant."

"Have you forgotten how much we earn in one afternoon?"

"That's what you earned, not me."

"What's the matter, what's mine isn't yours."

"Really." Ding Li glanced at him, "Then I won't be polite."

"Why are you being polite to me?" Qi Xie took the drink list, "Have a drink with me?"

"Okay." Ding Li ordered a few dishes.

Qi Xie asked for two bottles of white wine.

Ding Li quickly stopped him: "In case of alcohol poisoning, there is no hospital here."

"When did you see me drunk?" Qi Xie waved to the waiter, "Don't be dazed, hurry up."

The waiter said to wait a moment, put away the menu and left.

"Are you drinking to drown your sorrows?" Ding Li asked.

Qi Xie waved his folding fan: "I'm just in time to enjoy myself!"

At this time, there was a burst of laughter from the neighbors, and the two looked over, there were four or five men at the table, mixed with a few young women as companions.

"Are you looking for two girls?" Qi Xie asked suddenly.

Ding Li let out a cry of fright.

"What?" Qi Xie disagreed, "It's just drinking and chatting without moving your hands."

"It's not like that." Ding Li said seriously, "When you don't touch them, they will start to touch you."

Qi Xie raised his eyebrows: "You seem to be very experienced."

Ding Li looked away: "There are indeed two similar experiences."

"Really, then I have to communicate with you." Qi Xie closed his fan and raised his hand to call the girl who sold drinks.

Ding Li pulled him down: "Forget it, it's enough for the two of us to drink."

Qi Xie gave up after thinking about it, pushed the served side dishes to the middle, and filled the two glasses with wine.

"Do it first, you can do whatever you want." He raised his glass and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Take it easy." Ding Li sipped half of his cup.

Qi Xie slapped down the glass: "Good wine!"

Ding Li was noncommittal: "You will lose a few hundred yuan with this one mouthful. Of course it is good wine."

Qi Xie waved his hand freely and freely: "A few hundred yuan is nothing, if you don't bring it with you if you live or die, if you can get drunk to your heart's content, I am willing to exchange all my belongings for wine money!"

Ding Lin hummed: "When you sober up, you can live under the bridge."

Qi Xie laughed: "With you here, can I still live in the bridge hole?"

"That's right." Ding Li took the food for him, "Eat some padding first, or it will hurt your stomach."

Qi Xie picked up the chopsticks: "My physique can't hurt me even if I want to."

Ding Li stopped and sighed very softly.

"Golden palms in the sky turn into frost, clouds grow with wild geese. Green cups and red sleeves take advantage of the Double Ninth Festival, and human feelings are like hometown. Lanpei purple, chrysanthemum hairpins yellow, courteous and old-fashioned. If you want to change intoxication for sadness, Qingge is heartbroken..." Qi Xie tapped the chopsticks on the side of the cup and chanted slowly.

"What a song "Drunken Peach Blossom"!" Suddenly he exclaimed.

The two turned their heads away, and the voice came from the table behind them just now.

Qi Xiong bowed his hands modestly: "You are too famous."

The man greeted generously: "Why don't we have a drink together?"

Qi Xie looked at Ding Li: "Okay."

Seeing this, the man beckoned to the waiter, and brought over all the dishes and dishes for the two of them.

"What's your brother's name?" he asked.

Qi Xie sat down: "My surname is Qi, and each name has a single word."

"So it's Brother Qi." The man laughed, "My surname is Li."

Qi Xie quickly glanced at the situation of the dinner, and called out Mr. Li.

The man stopped him proudly: "Hey, it doesn't matter, just call Lao Li!"

Ding Li looked at him carefully: medium build, five or sixty years old, with a beard on his lips, a few strands of white hair on his forehead, full of vigor and vigor, he guessed that he was either rich or noble.

"What about this one?" Lao Li interrupted his train of thought.

"Oh, my surname is Ding." Ding Li replied.

"The two of you are traveling?"

"Business." Qi Xie said casually.

Lao Li looked at the two bottles of wine on the table and said angrily, "It's outrageous to drink so much on official business!"

Qi Xie smiled and looked at Ding Li: "I only have to drink for business. Of course I have to risk my life to accompany the gentleman with this big client!"

Lao Li didn't ask any more questions: "That's good, come on, let's have a drink first!"

Hearing what he said, the girl next to him immediately filled up the wine for the two of them. Seeing Lao Li raised his head to kill him, the others followed suit.

Ding Li was a little dazed at the whole glass of baijiu, and was about to close his eyes to drink it down, but was picked up by the person beside him. It was a surprise.

"It seems that Boss Qi's business is big enough?" A man teased.

"That's natural." Qi Xie replied with a smile.

Lao Li raised his chopsticks: "Come here, bro, this fish tastes good."

Qi Xiong took a bite.

"How?" Old Li asked.

Qi Xie thought for a while: "It's slightly salty to my taste, and people with heavy tastes should like it."

Everyone seemed to be startled and looked at each other in private.

Lao Li immediately put down his chopsticks and called to the waiter: "Take this fish and pour it out, and cook another plate, less salt!"

Qi Xie repeatedly said no, but Lao Li refused: "How can I do that! Today is my treat, so there is no reason to make the guests feel uncomfortable!"

Qi Xie shook his head: "Mr. Li, if you do this again, I dare not tell the truth!"

"Then you made a mistake." Lao Li laughed, "I have already found out that this fish is too salty, and I deliberately said it was good for you to taste, just to test whether you dare to tell the truth, and now I see that my brother is really What a happy person, that plate of salted fish is worth it!"

"Oh? Then I'll tell the truth again." Qi Xie smiled, "I dared to say that just because Boss Li is generous and doesn't care about it. If it was someone else's treat, he would have to go against that salty fish." Compliments."

"Hahaha, you admit it quite simply! In this way, we have met a bosom friend, and we have to have a good drink!"

As Lao Li spoke, he raised his wine glass, and Qi Xie also took it up and drank it all in one gulp.

☆, dilemma

After three rounds of drinking, five flavors of food, and chatting and laughing, everyone was already drunk, but Lao Li felt that the atmosphere was not enough and said that he wanted to make a drinking order, and the woman next to him got up to get the dice cup.

"I'm not going to play this today." Old Li called to stop her, "Since Brother Qi is here, let's play something gentle, Old Tang, you have a lot of ideas, think of one."

The middle-aged man wearing glasses next to him ate food in a muffled voice at first, but now he put down his chopsticks, took a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth: "I think brother Qi should be a person who has read poetry and books, how about the words?"

Qi Xie became interested: "How?"

"It's simple. Luoxia vs. Lonely Bird, Rocky vs. Jingtao, those who answer the question don't have to drink, and those who don't speak will be punished with a drink."

Lao Li gave a thumbs up: "This is good!"

"Then it will begin." Old Tang paused, "Mingyue."

Lao Li didn't even think about it: "Qingfeng!"

A group of people were about to open their mouths when they were blocked back, Lao Li looked around: "Why is there no sound?"

"Hometown." The woman holding the dice cup said with a smile, "Look up at the bright moon, and look down at your hometown."

"On the ground!" A man replied, "There is a bright moonlight in front of the bed, so it must be frost on the ground!"

"Not on the ground." Old Tang dismissed it on the spot, "You will be fined for drinking if you make mistakes."

The man asked for trouble and bored himself a cup.

"Long March!" said another.

Old Tang nodded in approval: "That's right, Wang Changling's "Out of the Frontier."

Qi Xie whispered something to Ding Li.

"Tianshan Mountain." Ding Li replied.

"Okay." Old Tang Nian said, "The bright moon rises from the Tianshan Mountains, amidst the vast sea of ​​clouds. The wind blows for tens of thousands of miles, blowing across the Yumen Pass."

Then all was quiet.

"Is there no one here?" Lao Li nodded Qi Xie with his finger, "Brother Qi shouldn't be sorry!"

Qi Xie blurted out: "Yingcheng."

A table of people laughed: "What is Yingcheng!"

Qi Xie waved his fan: "Since ancient times, the bright moon has formed a shadow, and the poets have said so."

Old Li didn't believe it: "When did Li Bai say it? If you don't explain it clearly to me, you will be punished with a drink!"

Qi Xie knocked on the fan bone: "Taibai said: Among the flowers, drink alone with a pot of wine, no blind date. Raise your glass and invite, the bright moon will form a shadow, three people."

"Hahaha interesting!" Lao Li pointed around, "Those of you who didn't answer, be more conscious!"

The few remaining people had no choice but to drink in a muffled voice. Lao Li laughed and asked Lao Tang to continue writing questions.

Old Tang didn't think too much: "Then follow what you said last time, Qingfeng."

"Lang Ri!" Lao Li answered immediately.

"Righteousness." Ding Li also replied.

Qi Xie laughed softly: "Are you fighting corruption and promoting integrity?"

Ding Li felt guilty: "Isn't it right?"

"Yes." Qi Harmony.

"Drizzle." "Xianyun." "Bailu." The others said one after another.

Old Tang looked at Qi Xie unexpectedly: "Brother Qi is really high-spirited and upright, he always let others finish talking before answering."

Qi Xie shook his head: "Where, I just can't think of it for a while."

"Have you figured it out now?"

Qi Xie smiled: "Luo Yi."

"Oh?" Old Tang gave a rare smile, "Mu Mu Qingfeng is here, blowing my clothes."

"This won't work!" Lao Li objected, "It's a poem that my daughter's family hopes to read to her lover. What kind of words do you, a grown man, say to your partner? You'll be punished with alcohol!"

"Haha, accept the punishment!" Qi Xie happily drank three glasses in a row.

"Slow down." Ding Li tugged at him in a low voice.

"I'm happy!" Qi Xie put down his cup, "Continue!"

Old Tang pointed to his hand: "The wine cup."

Qi Xie shook his head: "Flower branch."

"No, the wine cup should face the horse's head."

"Brother Tang said "Partridge Sky": When you meet Rushui, you must know that you are famous. Although the horse's head has traveled far away, the wine cup is only [-] percent." Qi Xie bent his drunken eyes, "It's a pity that I didn't With that ambition, it is an extravagant hope in this life to die of old age in the wine room."

Old Li seemed to have noticed something: "I think you are just the age to do something, so it's not good to be so negative."

Qi Xie played with the wine glass: "Others laugh at me so crazy, but I laugh at others and can't see through!"

"That's wrong! People who see through don't care about the difference between villages and temples. Let me tell you, being drunk in the mountains and forests is as enjoyable as being in the world of mortals!" Lao Li embraced the slender waist beside him, raised his head and drank it .

Qi Xie smiled: "Boss Li is a real hero, I'm so shallow!"

Old Li laughed twice: "I see that brother Qi is a good matchmaker, it would be a pity if he was buried, so I spoke up."

Qi Xie didn't take it seriously: "What kind of talent am I?"

"I said yes, that is! If you belittle yourself again, you will not give me face!"

"Okay, then I will borrow your good words!"

"Come on, I'll do it all!" Lao Li pointed at the table.

Let's touch the wine, drink up the world's troubles, the stars are in the sky, and the silver light shines on the sea.When the cups and cups were in a mess, everyone left with a smile...

Qi Xie staggered towards the cabin, Ding Li quickly reached out to help.

"No, I'm not drunk!" Qi Xie blocked him with a lisp.

"It's good that you're not drunk. It's windy tonight, and the boat is shaking violently. Stay steady."

"I know!" Qi Xie staggered.

"It's not over there, it's over here!" Ding Li held him back.

Qi Xie suddenly stopped and looked at the night sky: "There is no moon tonight."

"Well, it turned cloudy just now." Ding Li said.

"How can there be no moon on the sea once, it's so disappointing!" Qi Xie compared a sword finger.

"What are you doing?"

"Blow up the clouds and let the moon come out." Qi Xie said awkwardly.

Ding Li smiled: "You must have drunk too much."

"Don't you believe it? Watch!"

After Qi Xie finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and swept a semicircle above their heads. Ding Li stared at the night sky, and suddenly felt a gust of cool wind blowing, and then a few thick clouds moved away interspersed. The full moon appeared, and the silver light illuminated the entire sea!

"Is it beautiful?" Qi Xie asked softly.

"It's so beautiful." Ding Li replied blankly.

Qi Xie looked at him drunkenly: "Give it to you."

Ding Li's heartbeat fluctuated, and he coughed quickly: "Don't laugh at me like that, I can't stand it."

"Is that so..." Qi Xie's smiling eyes widened by three points.

Ding Li scolded him in a low voice and looked away, half helped and half dragged him back to the room and threw him on the bed.

"I want to drink water..." Qi Xie yelled in a daze.

"Wait, I'll pour it for you." Ding Li turned back to find the kettle, and when he came over with a cup, the man had already fallen asleep.

Ding Li took a few steps closer and looked at him.

The eyebrows are stretched, the sleeping face is stable, and the breathing is even.

Wait, breathe?He clasped the wrist immediately, his pulse beating slowly but clearly.

"Is the effect of alcohol?" Ding Li said to himself, pulled the quilt to cover him, and sat quietly by the bed, listening to the waves filtering through the hull.

The morning sun shone in through the curtains, Qi Xie moved his sleeping position, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Ding Li sitting on the opposite bed.

"Are you sober?" Ding Li asked.

Qi Xie hummed, and buried his head in the pillow again.

"Do you want to get up and eat something? I bought it for you."

"Headache..." Qi Xie said drowsily.

Ding Li couldn't help laughing: "If you drink two bottles of liquor by yourself, you won't have a headache."

"what time is it……"

"08:30."

"It's so late." Qi Xie rubbed his temples and sat up.

"It's so late, it's because you usually wake up too early." Ding Li poured a glass of warm water, "Drink this first, and sleep for a while if you're still sleepy."

"Don't sleep anymore." Qi Xie took it and drank it in one gulp, then smelled himself, "Do I smell like alcohol?"

Ding Li also leaned over to smell it: "A little bit."

"I'm going to take a shower." Qi Xie got up and took his clothes. Before he reached the bathroom, he heard a knock on the door. He raised his hand to fasten the safety, and opened the door a crack. It was Qian Sining standing opposite with a smile.

"Is there something wrong?" Qi Xie asked bluntly.

"If you don't have anything to go to the Three Treasures Hall, don't you mind letting me go in and talk about it?"

"Wait a minute." Qi Xie closed the door.

After washing and tidying up his face, he put Qian Sining in, but she turned to Ding Li: "Mr. Qi and I can take a chance to talk, 10 minutes?"

Ding Li looked at Qi Xie to ask for his opinion, and seeing Qi Xie nod his head, he knew how to go out and close the door.

While shaking a cigarette on the deck, Ding Li walked back, just as he turned into the corridor just as Qian Sining came out of the room, aware of his presence, she turned away with a smug smile.

Ding Li suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he returned to his room, he saw Qi Xie sitting on the sofa with his head down.
