In the afternoon, while rolling around and begging for recommendations~(#▽#)
...
This question had puzzled Jiang Han for a long time, and he finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
Jiang Han asked himself, if he were being relentlessly pursued by someone, he would definitely take the opportunity to strike when that person was at a disadvantage!
Could these two big men be some kind of great philanthropists? Ha, philanthropists wouldn't engage in robbery!
The two big men were taken aback by Jiang Han's words. After exchanging glances, the shorter one spoke up.
"You might not believe it, but although we often rob people, the number of people we've actually killed is less than five."
"Moreover, the few people we killed deserved it!" The other big man's face flashed with a murderous look.
"So, we don't have any deep grudges against you, why would we want to kill you?" The shorter big man scratched his head, looking a bit depressed, "We were just planning to take that iron thing from you, but... damn, why did you hit me?!"
The other big man retracted his hand, ignoring the shorter one's angry gaze, and said calmly, "Idiot, you slipped up again."
The shorter big man: "..."
Jiang Han couldn't help but laugh, but he also felt a bit moved. How many people in this world could think like this? Even he, a newcomer who had never killed anyone, would have the thought of killing to keep a secret, let alone others!
But how many people could truly be happy? Living like these two big men, laughing and joking every day without worries, was actually quite nice.
Unfortunately... he couldn't.
Jiang Han suddenly laughed loudly and said to the two, "Brothers, do you have any wine?"
"Yes..." The shorter big man answered instinctively, then his eyes lit up, "Kid, you like drinking too?"
"Bring me a bottle!" Jiang Han didn't answer, just held out his hand.
"Can you handle it, kid?" The shorter big man laughed and threw the wine over.
Jiang Han smirked, opened the lid, and tilted his head back to drink, the wine spilling down his chin and onto the ground.
"Ha ha ha, refreshing!" Jiang Han laughed heartily, tears streaming down his face, "The wine is strong!"
The other big man looked at Jiang Han and laughed, "I didn't expect a clean and tidy young man like you to be such a drinker."
"Don't judge a book by its cover." Jiang Han smiled, took another sip, and turned to look at the two, "By the way, I don't know your names yet."
"I'm Li Erhu, the younger brother."
"I'm Li Dalong, the older brother."
"We are known as the Dragon and Tiger Duo, who do good deeds and uphold justice!"
"Ha ha ha." Jiang Han, who had just taken a sip of wine, sprayed it all over the two.
"Damn, can't you be less excited? Even if you heard our names, you should stay calm!" The shorter big man, Li Erhu, wiped his face angrily, "And, did you brush your teeth?"
"Nice to meet you!" Jiang Han ignored his complaint, bowed, and said solemnly, "I am known as the handsome, charming, and talented Jiang Han, also called the Jade-faced Young Master!"
The Li brothers were stunned, their faces twitching. They thought they had thick skin, but now they realized they had met their match, and they were far from it!
Jiang Han chuckled to himself, with all the internet slang from Earth, how could he not outdo them with a classic line from Stephen Chow?
"Brother, what do we do? We can't argue with this kid." Li Erhu muttered.
Li Dalong looked at him as if he were an idiot, "If you can't argue, can't you just stop? You're really stupid! Watch me!" He stepped forward, bowed to Jiang Han, and said seriously, "My apologies! So you are the Jade-faced Young Master Jiang Han. I've heard that a handsome thief called the White-faced Young Master has appeared in Baiyun City recently. Are you two... of the same kind?"
Jiang Han smiled and was about to speak when he noticed a flash of hidden killing intent in Li Dalong's eyes, making him instantly alert.
"I am not that kind of despicable person. I've heard of that White-faced Young Master, and having a similar nickname is an insult to me. If I ever meet him, I will... teach him a lesson!" Jiang Han said, observing Li Dalong's expression.
"Ha ha ha, that's a relief. I, Li Dalong, despise those fake people the most. I always kill them whenever I see them!" Li Dalong laughed, patted Jiang Han's shoulder, "When you see such people, just kill them. I think that's the best lesson!"
Indeed, Li Dalong's killing intent was because of that White-faced Young Master. He must have been warning me, too.
"I hate those people as much as you do." Jiang Han smiled, hinting at something.
Li Dalong chuckled, no longer dwelling on the topic, and handed Jiang Han another bottle of wine, "Come, let's continue. We won't stop until we're drunk!"
"Even if we're drunk, we can't go back!" Jiang Han shrugged, "By the way, I have a good bottle of wine. Want to try it?"
As he spoke, Jiang Han took out a bottle... of Maotai!
He had just thought of it. The system had all kinds of wines, some ordinary and cheap, only delicious, while others were divine elixirs that could enhance other attributes, each bottle costing a fortune!
This Maotai was one of the ordinary wines, 10 bottles for 1 dream coin.
Opening the bottle, the enticing aroma of the wine filled the air. The Li brothers' noses twitched, and they approached like cats drawn by the scent.
"What kind of wine is this? It looks so strange." Li Dalong looked at the bottle, scratching his head in confusion.
"Such a fragrant wine, kid... no, brother, let me try first." Li Erhu stared with wide eyes, drooling, almost ready to grab it.
"Pathetic!" Li Dalong looked at him disdainfully, "A man should have backbone. You're almost disgracing the Li family... come, brother, ignore him, let's enjoy it together!"
Jiang Han smiled, took out another bottle, and said, "Don't worry, I have more..."
"Damn, why didn't you say so earlier?!" Li Erhu snatched a bottle, "You made me waste my expression."
"How do you talk?" Li Dalong glared at him, then smiled at Jiang Han, "He's still young and doesn't know better. Don't mind him... by the way, how many bottles do you have?"
Jiang Han: "..."
After a round of laughter and banter, the three of them became much closer, though they weren't quite friends yet, the initial barrier was gone.
"Life is often full of disappointments, but wine can intoxicate the heart, it's a good thing!"
Jiang Han laughed, clinked his bottle with the two big men, and took a big sip, tears streaming down his face.
"Raising a cup to the moon, we are three in the shadow!" Jiang Han raised his cup to the moon, the image of the blue moon in the dark space flashed in his mind, and he smiled foolishly.
Li Dalong and Li Erhu savored the fine wine, thoroughly enjoying it. They usually drank ordinary spirits, which were strong but not as smooth.
They hugged the Maotai, reluctant to drink it as Jiang Han did, savoring it slowly.
"You're so young, where do you get so many thoughts?" Li Dalong muttered, holding the bottle.
Jiang Han shook his head, "You... don't understand!"
Smash!
Jiang Han casually smashed the bottle against the cave wall, staggered a few steps, and grinned at the Li brothers, then took out a few more bottles, giving each of them two.
With the Ice Soul Technique running, his body might be drunk, but his mind remained clear.
Looking up at the sky, Jiang Han's black hair flew in the wind. He stared at the moon for a while, then laughed and took a big sip of wine.
"Full moon, but not a full circle..."
"Sometimes, not being drunk can be quite painful."
Jiang Han muttered to himself, then stopped the Ice Soul Technique, drank a bottle of Maotai, burped a few times, staggered a few steps, and fell down with a thud.
"This kid..."
Li Dalong and Li Erhu exchanged a wry smile. They had just woken up and were already asleep again.
"Come, come, come, don't mind him. It's rare to drink such good wine, we must enjoy it to the fullest!"
...
Unconsciously, it was already midnight. The surroundings were silent, except for the occasional howl from the Beast Ridge. The Li brothers were already drunk, snoring loudly.
Jiang Han quietly got up, turned to look at the sleeping Li brothers, and chuckled.
These two brothers really trusted him, not fearing that he might have ulterior motives and harm them in their sleep.
But, wasn't he the same?
Sighing softly, Jiang Han took out two bottles of golden wound medicine and placed them beside them. After some thought, he carved a message next to them: Crush this pill and apply it to the wound.
"I really wanted to be friends with you two." Jiang Han walked out of the cave, turned back, and whispered, "But I think I'm better suited to wandering alone. So..."
Jiang Han slowly walked out of the cave, his figure somewhat lonely.
"Goodbye, friends."
