After a few words, Xiao Li had already walked in front of the stall.As soon as he turned his gaze, he also saw Lin Xiao beside him.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort of disdain, Xiao Li immediately turned his head away in disgust as if he saw something disgusting.

On the way here, someone had already told him the beginning of the incident, so Xiao Li already knew the rules of this stall.

Knowing the rules here, Xiao Li stopped talking nonsense to the stall owner, threw money away, and took a roll of rice paper casually.

He disdains the stall owner in his heart, and like others, he also thinks that the stall owner is a sensationalist, so he doesn't want to talk to the stall owner, wasting his time for nothing.

Although the person who communicated with him also specially emphasized that the stall owner is very capable, but Xiao Li still didn't take it seriously, at most he was just a little concerned.

As a person who claims to be talented, how can he take the words of those scholars who are far inferior to him to heart.

Even when he opened the rice paper, Xiao Li seemed careless, and he still had time to chat and laugh with other people.

If it wasn't for the fact that he could earn some money and become famous by coming here, he wouldn't want to waste time here!

There is a price to pay for being arty.After all, he is not the son of an aristocratic family like Lin Xiao. It is difficult for him to support this kind of life as he comes from an ordinary family, so he often comes out to do some work.

However, they generally only accept things that suit their status, otherwise, if they do things that are too cheap, their reputation in the literati circle will be bad in the future.

Not only him, but other people of similar origin to him did the same.

However, these casual looks changed when he saw the content on the rice paper.

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, really wonderful!"

Seeing the content on the rice paper, Xiao Li's eyes lit up, and he shouted a few words again and again.Obviously, the content on this paper took him by surprise.

After finishing speaking, Xiao Li didn't care about being rude, and immediately walked to the side of the stall owner, his attitude was very different from before: "Young master!"

Xiao Li cupped his hands and said, "My name is Deshang, I'm Xiao Li, and I'm from De'an, Ningzhou. I wonder if I might have the honor to make friends with Your Excellency?"

The stall owner didn't even look at Xiao Li: "It's time for a stick of incense, if you can't answer, remember to return the paper."

Being ignored, Xiao Li's expression changed, and then he returned to his original state, and said with a smile: "I'm being rude, since I want to make friends with a talented person like Your Excellency, Xiaosheng must show some skills."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Li stopped talking nonsense, lowered his head, looked at the content on the paper, and meditated there.

Lin Xiao was also a little curious about Xiao Li's unusual behavior today, wanting to know what kind of talent it was that made Xiao Li admire him like this.

So he poked his head out and looked at Xiao Li.

Immediately, Lin Xiao's expression changed.He raised his head and looked at the stall owner with a strange expression on his face.

Then, he said to Gu Li with disdain in a low voice: "You really are a sensationalist."

"Oh!" Gu Li was surprised, not understanding why Lin Xiao had changed so much before and after.So, he also stretched his neck and looked at the paper.

There are quite a few people who do this with Gu Li. After reading it, the people in the front row pass the content on the paper to the back row, and the back row passes it on to the back row.Soon, the Shanglian on paper was known to everyone.

"This Shanglian is really amazing, the stall owner is really talented." Someone behind him said in a low voice.

Because it was not easy to disturb Xiao Li's thinking, everyone's voices were kept as low as possible.But Lin Xiao and Lin Xiao were standing in the crowd, no matter how low they were, they could still hear a little.

"Isn't it? There are a few couplets on this stall today, and the couplets are all eye-catching pairs. This stall owner is really not an ordinary person. I'm afraid some great Confucian came out on purpose to amuse others!"

"Maybe he wants to accept disciples."

……

The two who listened to the words behind them were speechless.

"Paint the lotus monk painting" this is not peerless, right!

But the problem is that no matter how good the pair is, you have to think about it yourself.Stall owner, what is this, plagiarism?

It's not to blame Lin Xiao and the two for their reaction, after all, it's not the first time they've seen this pair.

I remember that on the way they were on their way, once it rained and the sky cleared up, they happened to meet a pool of lotus flowers in full bloom.

There is a temple next to the lotus pond. At that time, a monk stayed aside, not knowing why.

The arty Mo Xuan read this sentence on the spot while looking at the pond full of lotus flowers.

"Draw the lotus monk painting."

Several people were amazed by Mo Xuan's talent at that time.

"It's really a wonderful word!"

"That's natural." Mo Xuan nodded unceremoniously, which is naturally a peerless good word.

They had already experienced Mo Xuan's thick skin, so Lin Xiao and the others didn't feel wrong when they heard this sentence.What's more, this sentence deserves this compliment.

Then the second half of Mo Xuan's sentence broke the admiration of several people: "This is a peerless sentence that has been passed down for thousands of years in our hometown. Ordinary people like you can't understand it."

Mo Xuan made it so clear, how many people still don't know what he meant.This pair has nothing to do with him at all, he obviously copied it from nowhere.

In comparison, Mo Xuan is much more sincere than this person who doesn't know what it is;

Looking at the words written by this person on the couplet, apart from being correct, there is no character at all. After thinking about it, I know that the stall owner's own level is really not very good.

It's just because his pair is really amazing, even if the word is difficult to read, it doesn't hurt.

After understanding the truth, the two looked at the stall owner no longer with the appreciation they had before, but with contempt instead.

It's just a person who is trying to catch fame!

"A Li, let's go!" After knowing that this person is just a liar with no talent, Lin Xiao seemed to lose interest.

"Yeah!" Gu Li nodded, it wouldn't be fun if the deception was seen through.

So, while everyone was still thinking hard, the two held hands and left quietly.

Although Lin Xiao and the two left as quietly as possible, it was not unnoticed.

After all, the two of them stood so close together.But thinking about Lin Xiao's level, everyone took it for granted.

"Hmph!" The people who saw it also included Xiao Li who was still thinking hard.I saw him sneer, and spit lightly with disdain: "It's still a bit self-aware!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Li looked at the stall owner again, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, don't worry, those two people just have no talent, they just came to watch the fun, and it doesn't matter if they leave." stay here.

The stall owner was not stupid, so he naturally understood what Xiao Li meant.He nodded dispensably, and then turned his gaze to the direction where Lin Xiao and the two left.

Because of the black gauze, everyone couldn't see the expression of the stall owner.But this was enough to make Xiao Li annoyed, he gritted his teeth secretly, and became more determined to match the pair.

As if feeling the sight behind him, Lin Xiao suddenly stopped walking and looked back.Across the crowd, the eyes of the two silently met in the air, and then separated.

"Interesting!" Lin Xiao muttered to himself with a frivolous arc on his lips.

Lin Xiao stopped, and Gu Li, who was led by Lin Xiao, also stopped.The short meeting between the two naturally fell into Gu Li's eyes.

Lowering his eyes, Gu Li's eyes looked at the ground, a sense of trance flashed in his eyes, and then it turned into sarcasm.

After the confrontation between Lin Xiao and the stall owner was completed, Gu Li returned to his original state, as if nothing had happened just now.

Naturally, Lin Xiao didn't notice Gu Li's emotional changes, and the others were too busy solving problems, so they didn't have time to care about him.What's more, he lowered his head, which is really difficult for ordinary people to see, but there is one exception.

"It's really interesting!" The man was wearing a bamboo hat, and the scene that Gu Li just happened to fall into his eyes.

Looking in Gu Li's direction, the man muttered something in a low voice, as if he had encountered something amusing, with a kind of naive malice in his tone, like a child's unintentional prank.

The man's tone was so low that even the people around him couldn't hear it.But for some reason, Gu Li seemed to hear it.

When being led away by Lin Xiao, Gu Li turned his head. Across the crowd, the eyes of the two met silently in the air, and there was no sign of life.

Lin Xiao only thought that Gu Li was still curious, turned his head sideways, and whispered in Gu Li's ear: "Don't look at how many of them there are, but no one will be able to answer it later. Otherwise, with so many of them , why did you stay here for so long?"

Gu Li nodded, but his attention was clearly not on Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao was annoyed in his heart, and the only little good feeling he had for the person who was trying to gain fame disappeared without a trace.

Later, when Lin Xiao wanted to continue shopping with Gu Li, Gu Li stopped him: "Xiao, I'm tired after walking for so long today, why don't we go back first!"

Hearing that Gu Li was tired, Lin Xiao immediately couldn't care about other things.

"That's right, it's all my fault for forgetting. We've been walking for so long today. It's normal for Ah Li to be tired. Then let's go back first and come back later when we are free."

After a pause, Lin Xiao felt a little worried again: "A Li, are your feet sore, do you want me to ask someone to carry the sedan chair out?"

The more he talked, the more reasonable Lin Xiao felt. He waved his hand to call the guard who was protecting them, and asked him to call someone.

Gu Li hurriedly stopped Lin Xiao, and said dumbfoundingly: "It's not that exaggerated, I can still walk this way."

"Is it really all right?" Lin Xiao was still a little worried, Gu Li's physique had never been very good in his heart.

I remember when I was in Jiangnan, Gu Li was sick every day, and I couldn't see that he was a doctor at all.

After arriving in the capital, he got better again, and he didn't get sick again.But in Lin Xiao's heart, Gu Li was still in poor health and would pass out at any moment.

"It's really fine." Gu Li said helplessly.

"Okay!" Seeing that Gu Li insisted, Lin Xiao had no choice but to follow him, and waved away the guards, but he still looked worried at Gu Li.Obviously, it is still not about to give up on this idea.

With Lin Xiao making such a fuss, Gu Li's previous unhappiness was also wiped out.

Rubbing Lin Xiao's hair dumbfounded: "Xiao, I'm really not a porcelain doll, you don't have to worry about me so much."

The second time when Gu Li patted his head, Lin Xiao's reaction was not as big as the first time.Hearing Gu Li's words, Lin Xiao retorted subconsciously: "No, Ah Li is the kind of person who needs to be taken care of in my heart. Who made Ah Li look so cute!"

Hearing the previous words, Gu Li was still a little touched, but after hearing Lin Xiao's last words, Gu Li could only twitch the corners of his mouth, expressing his helplessness.

"And..." Lin Xiao's voice gradually dropped, "I don't know why, but I always feel that Ah Li will leave me, especially during this time."

Seeing Lin Xiao like this, Gu Li opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't make a sound, and he didn't know how to comfort Lin Xiao.

He could only silently hold Lin Xiao's hand to express comfort.

"Ah Li!" Lin Xiao held Gu Li's hand instead, and the two of them interacted with each other.Staring at Gu Li, Lin Xiao said seriously, "A Li, you won't leave me, will you?"

"I..." Gu Li looked at Lin Xiao's face, lost his mind for a moment.What does Lin Xiao look like in his memory?

Is it the gentleness when we first meet, the occasional frivolity, the firmness and seriousness when we are determined to change, or the merciless attitude towards the enemy... No matter what it is, it will not be as ordinary as it is now, so--fragile ,panic.

The more Gu Li remained silent, the more Lin Xiao panicked. In the end, Lin Xiao even had a bit of pleading in his eyes.

Seeing Lin Xiao like this, Gu Li felt uncomfortable.When did his Lin Xiao show such an expression, he should always be proud and indulgent.

Unable to bear the slight pain in his heart, Gu Li hugged Lin Xiao, and pressed a soft kiss on his forehead, gentle yet firm, with a touch of comfort.

"Xiao, don't think about it, how could I leave you without incident!" Gu Li's voice with a smile sounded above Lin Xiao's head.

Gu Li's words made Lin Xiao feel helpless, as if he was holding on to the last duckweed, Lin Xiao hugged him back fiercely, as if he was afraid that Gu Li would leave.

Lin Xiao didn't know that when Gu Li spoke to him gently, his expression was empty.With a bit of reluctance, and the pain of determination.
