Chapter 114 Banquet
Li Yu patted Li Ya on the back and sighed:
"Alas! Brother! We are all miserable people! I am also a beggar..."
Regardless of whether Li Ya could hear him or not, he told him about his experiences. He even told him the powder box, "The Thousand Hammers" and the secret of the Wolf King without reservation.
Firstly, he had no one to vent his depression, which sometimes made him feel suffocated. Secondly, he thought that a mute would not reveal his secrets!
Most people are like this. Once they have too many secrets in their hearts, they will feel overwhelmed and want to find someone to talk to. Once they open their mouths, they can't stop talking!
At first, Li Ya lay in his arms and sobbed constantly. As Li Yu talked more and more, he finally stopped crying, raised his head and looked at Li Yu with pity.
What Li Yu didn't notice was that every time he talked about the thrilling parts, worry would appear in his eyes!
Li Yuzhi talked for two hours, pausing only for a moment when Jin Fu brought in the meal, and finally finished his story. He immediately felt relieved and in a good mood!
At this moment, a loud shout was heard from outside the door:
"Gentlemen, have you rested well? Jin Youdao wants to see you!"
Li Yu was stunned when he heard this! Why did this fat man become so polite?
He immediately opened the door and ran out of the room. He bowed to Jin Youdao, who was like a mountain of flesh, and Jin Zhaocai, who was standing next to him, and said:
"Master Jin, you are really embarrassing me! If you want to see me, just let the servants inform me. How dare I trouble Master Jin to come?"
Jin Youdao laughed loudly and said:
"Hahaha! Sir, you saved my life, how dare I trouble you to come here?"
Li Yu hurriedly said:
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it! Please come in!"
Jin Youdao laughed again and shook his head:
"I'm afraid this door won't let me in!"
Li Yu couldn't help but laugh! With his body, it was really difficult for him to enter this door!
"The banquet is ready, sir, please follow me!"
Jin Youdao immediately rolled forward, reached out and grabbed Li Yu's arm, and said.
To be honest, Li Yu was very reluctant to deal with these rich people. When begging on weekdays, he usually avoided them. These people were rich and powerful, and their moods were unpredictable. They were still chatting and laughing with you one moment, and they might turn against you the next moment!
But everyone has vanity, and seeing Jin Youdao treat him so politely, he couldn't help but feel a little flattered! He immediately smiled and said:
"In that case, I will just obey your command!"
He immediately looked around for the wolf king, but he couldn't find him. He couldn't help but feel a little worried. He was not worried about the wolf king getting into trouble, but worried about the wolf king hurting someone!
He knew that the wolf king was not there, and must have gone out to look for food. However, this was not a wilderness, and there were no wild animals for it to hunt. Immediately, he thought about it and was shocked to find that the wolf king was actually in the garden of the Jin Mansion, gnawing on an elk!
He couldn't help but panic! He immediately ordered the wolf king to find a secret place to eat, so as not to be discovered by the people in the Jin Mansion, which would be troublesome!
Jin Youdao talked all the way! Li Yu had something on his mind, so he was inevitably a little distracted.
Jin Youdao just thought that he was admiring the beautiful scenery of the Jin Mansion, and he was even more excited. He kept introducing the scenery along the way to him while walking.
Not until he saw the wolf king hiding well did Li Yu calm down and chat with Jin Youdao along the way!
Arriving at the central courtyard, everyone sat down as host and guest. Without waiting for instructions, dishes were brought to the table by servants.
Li Yu saw that this banquet was very different from the last one. Last time, although it was rich enough, most of the dishes were home-cooked. This time, most of the dishes were things he had never seen or heard of before!
Li Yu couldn't help salivating as he looked at the dishes. However, Li Ya seemed much calmer.
Li Yu's expression naturally did not escape Jin Youdao's eyes, and he immediately picked up the wine glass in front of him and said to Li Yu:
"It's just a simple meal, not a sign of respect. Please, gentlemen!"
In his previous life, Li Yu was addicted to alcohol. He would drink whenever there was alcohol and would never get drunk! In this life, due to poverty, he had never come into contact with alcohol, so he didn't know the taste of alcohol, and therefore had no feeling for it. He immediately declined to Jin Youdao:
"Master Jin! I am not good at drinking. I will get drunk if I drink. Please forgive me, Master Jin!"
Then Jin Youdao immediately advised:
"Sir, don't refuse! Try it first. If it doesn't suit your taste, don't drink it!"
In fact, when the servant poured the wine, Li Yu's desire for alcohol had been aroused. The reason why he refused was that he was afraid of saying something he shouldn't say after getting drunk. After Jin Youdao's casual persuasion, he could no longer hold back, picked up the wine glass in front of him and said to Jin Youdao:
"Okay! Then I will have a drink with Master Jin!"
Jin Youdao couldn't help but laugh and said:
"Haha! Now that's what a man should do! Come on, let's drink this cup to the bottom!"
He immediately tilted his head back and held his empty cup in front of Li Yu! Li Yu wanted to taste it first, but when he saw Jin Youdao drink it all in one gulp, he couldn't help but feel competitive, so he also picked up the glass, tilted his head back and poured a glass of wine into his mouth!
The moment the wine entered his mouth, he almost spit it out! He cursed in his heart: Is this even worthy of being called wine? Although it has some wine flavor, in terms of its alcohol content, it is probably not as good as the beer in his previous life! And the taste is extremely bad! It tastes sour and astringent, difficult to swallow, and there is no aroma of white wine at all!
But looking at the big round face opposite him that seemed to be smiling, he finally swallowed the glass of wine with difficulty, and then raised his chopsticks impatiently.
Seeing Li Yu's bitter face, Jin Youdao couldn't help but burst into laughter again! He immediately signaled the servant standing beside him to pour another cup for Li Yu. Then he looked at Li Ya and said:
"Would this gentleman like to try it?"
Seeing that Li Ya ignored his words and just focused on eating her own food, he couldn't help but look angry!
Li Yu said hurriedly when he saw it:
"Please don't blame me, Master Jin! My brother is disabled and born deaf. I hope Master Jin will understand!"
When Jin Youdao heard this, his expression suddenly relaxed and he sighed:
"So he's a mute... a person who can't speak! Oh! What a pity! But didn't I ask them to prepare clothes for you? Why didn't he change?"
Li Yu thought: How should I know? But he immediately said:
"Mr. Jin, you don't know that this set of clothes was left by my father before he died. I cherish it very much and I am reluctant to throw it away."
"Oh? You are a filial son! You shouldn't throw away your parents' belongings casually!"
Jin Youdao praised.
Then he raised his glass and said to Li Yu:
"Come on, come on, in that case, let's drink!"
Seeing Jin Youdao constantly urging him to drink, Jin Zhaocai couldn't help but wonder! What happened to his father today? Why was he so polite to two beggars? If they were to thank him for saving their lives, why not just give them more money? Why did he keep them here?
