Out of the lion

What Lin Xiaoxi wanted was definitely not this kind of explanation, she wanted to know who this crooked old man in front of her was, and why she knew Huaxi Town's lion dance moves.

The old man didn't give an explanation, but just guarded Xiaoshi and Wu Shuai behind him.

Seeing his posture, Lin Xiaoxi almost laughed angrily, "You stole from your teacher and pretended to be from our Huaxi town. You should have expected this day."

The old man was not flustered, but said in a deep tone: "Business is difficult, and the art of lion dancing is not suitable for us. It's okay if we don't do it."

"Old man!" Lin Xiaoxi was very angry at his words, and shouted with his hips on his hips, "How can you avoid the important and focus on the light? The problem now is, I want to know why you know the unique skill of lion dance in our Huaxi Town."

Seeing the old man's silence, Lin Xiaoxi said righteously: "Since you have learned the things from our Huaxi Town and made money from them, you should give an explanation."

She pointed to Wu Shuai, and then to Xiaoshi, "Today, if you don't know clearly, no one will leave."

Wu Shuai had already wiped off the blood on his forehead, pulled the old man behind him, and used his body to block Lin Xiaoxi's accusation.

Wu Shuai is gentle and good-looking, and his voice is as clear as jade. Even in the face of Lin Xiaoxi's accusations, he still maintains his rationality.

"Xiaoxi, if you have grievances, you can come at me."

Lin Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows and said ferociously, "What do you mean? You are protecting me like this, but you made me look like a bad guy."

"Old man, you said you are Hua Qiang, show me your ID card."

Wu Shuai saw that Hua Qiang was hesitant and did not take any action, so he believed even more in what Li Mo said before. Maybe the master really has many secrets that cannot be known to others.

He turned around and looked at Hua Qiang, his eyes met.

His heart was overwhelmed, was he on the right side, or Hua Qiang's side?
Wu Shuai did not expect that the stage of life is far more difficult than the stage of lion dance.

In the end, he made up his mind and said to Lin Xiaoxi, "We don't know what you're talking about. We're just ordinary lion dancers, and we don't know or are interested in what you're talking about."

He looked at Lin Xiaoxi and said firmly, "Please let us leave."

He finally chose to stand on the side of the master.

Lin Xiaoxi's figure was nimble, and he immediately bypassed Wu Shuai and blocked Hua Qiang's way, "Who the hell are you? I'm sure you're not Hua Qiang, but I have to admit that you look a bit like him."

In fact, when Lin Xiaoxi saw the old man for the first time, he felt that he looked a lot like Hua Qiang, but he didn't. After all, Hua Qiang was only 25 years old, so it was absolutely impossible for him to be the wrinkled old man in front of him.

After hesitating for a long time, the old man slowly raised his eyes to meet Lin Xiaoxi's gaze.

His eyes were complicated, joy, worry, and... resistance.

Lin Xiaoxi froze in place, motionless, as if she had been electrocuted all over her body.

It seemed that there was a voice in her heart telling her that the old man in front of her was Hua Qiang.

The old man seemed to be pleading: "It's better not to know some things, and some things can only be comfortable if you let go. Some people, once in this life, are enough."

Lin Xiaoxi was confused by these words, and when she came to her senses, Hua Qiang had already led Xiaoshi and Wu Shuai up the stone steps.

Lin Xiaoxi wanted to catch up, but was held back by the silent Li Mo.

Lin Xiaoxi didn't understand what the old man said, but Li Mo did.

"Some things should be let go," he said.

Lin Xiaoxi was not reconciled, her eyes turned red immediately, and she choked up with grievance: "How do you let go? Do you know what it feels like to see the person closest to you fall in front of you with your own eyes? Do you know what it feels like when the sky suddenly falls?"

She used to be carefree, her mother was gentle and polite, her father was diligent and upright, her neighbors were harmonious and united, and she had Li Mo who was always by her side... She thought her life would go on like this forever...

It was the thieves who coveted the key that ruined it all!
How can I let her go?
She had vowed in her heart more than once that she must find those people, and if they were still alive, they would be brought to justice and make them pay the price in blood.If they are already dead, find their bones and smash them into ashes!
Li Mo held her hand tightly, of course he can understand Lin Xiaoxi's feelings, because he has gone through the same thing, walked the path she walked, and suffered her pain...

However, he doesn't want her to find the answer, he wants her to be a lion dancer like she is now.

Seeing the old man walking farther and farther away, Lin Xiaoxi felt powerless all over.

The old man returned to his residence, packed his luggage, and prepared to leave.

They found an old pickup truck, with people sitting in the front and people and cargo in the back, it was full.

Just as Wu Shuai was about to drive, a girl jumped out of the alley with her hands on her hips, looking aggressive, as if she wanted to fight them.

The lion dancer sitting on the cargo bucket had a headache when he saw Lin Xiaoxi, "Why is he here again?"

Hua Qiang, who was sitting in the co-pilot, sighed helplessly. What should be faced must be faced after all, and it cannot be avoided or escaped.

He pushed open the car door and walked towards Lin Xiaoxi.

"Xiaoxi, let's chat in another place." The old man said.

Lin Xiaoxi was a little vigilant, and said, "Okay, I'll decide where to go."

The old man nodded.

Lin Xiaoxi began to think, where is the best place to go?Tea house, coffee shop?No, if he brings those little apprentices with him, even a glass of boiled water per person will cost a lot of money.It's not appropriate to chat about business on the side of the road.

Is there a place where you can sit casually without paying?
"Have you made up your mind?" the old man asked seeing Lin Xiaoxi's eyes rolling, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

Lin Xiaoxi was afraid that the old man would slip away, so he was anxious and said, "Go to my house!"

"Alright." The old man did not refuse.

Lin Xiaoxi glanced at Wu Shuai and the young lion dancer in the cargo bucket, and beckoned, "Let's go together."

The young disciples looked at the old man.

The old man returned to the car and said to Wu Shuai, "Follow her."

Wu Shuai was a little worried, "Master, what if there is a fraud? I always feel that Xiaoxi is not simple."

The old man said: "Of course she is not simple, otherwise how could she dance 'Buddha's Light' so well? She even danced 'Xingyi Eighteen Orders' at the old man's birthday banquet."

"Have you heard about it?" Wu Shuai was a little surprised.

The old man sighed: "It seems that not everyone can master the skill of lion dance. The superficial knowledge we have learned is really not enough to go on stage."

But Wu Shuai said: "I don't think our Huajin lion dance team is inferior to them. Didn't we also achieve good results in the last lion dance competition? What does this mean? It means that we are also very good."

The old man said: "You are wrong, the reason why you can achieve some results in the lion dance competition is not because you are excellent, but because the lion dance skills in Huaxi Town are excellent, as long as you can dance with a little fur, you can still look decent. "

Wu Shuai agreed with what the old man said.

He smiled helplessly, "Master, isn't it very frustrating and boring to meet a stupid apprentice like me?"

The old man glanced at Wu Shuai, "Is it even better?"

Wu Shuai smiled, "I don't want to compare, but the gap is right in front of my eyes."

"They had an accident in the lion dance competition before, and they thought their basic skills were not solid enough. When I was in the Li family's lion dance, I realized what it means to be inferior to others."

"However, there is nothing to be ashamed of and depressed about. From now on, we will leave here and never meet them face to face. Well water does not interfere with river water, and no one can interfere with anyone else."

The old man smiled bitterly, "Didn't it be agreed that Hua Xizhen's actions will never be used again?"

The topic silenced both of them.
