Out of the lion

Hua Qiang rubbed his sore temples, and said in a deep tone, "Don't call me master, I'm just a useless person who taught you a little bit of three-legged cat kung fu."

When he said that suddenly, Wu Shuai couldn't react and didn't know how to answer.

Hua Qiang murmured as if talking to himself: "Some things should rot in the soil and should not be dug out again, otherwise it will be bad for everyone."

A bitter smile floated on the corner of his mouth, "I'm just a little apprentice with no talent, understanding or characteristics. Except for Xiaoxi, I'm afraid no one will remember me anymore."

Wu Shuai was worried about his condition, "Master, why don't you sleep for a while?"

Hua Qiang suddenly became irritable, and said in a deep but serious tone, "I've said it before, don't call me master! I have no talent or understanding, what kind of apprentices can I teach?"

Probably realized that he had lost his composure, so he didn't speak again, and only after he calmed down did he speak again: "The Huajin lion dance team is now disbanded, and there will be no more lion dances in the future, and the lion dance moves I taught you will not be allowed at all. Perform again. Remember, it is any occasion and no performance is allowed at any time."

"Why?" Wu Shuai didn't understand.

"There is no reason, I am doing it for your own good, and also for my own good, and for the little lion's good!" Hua Qiang's face turned red, and his pupils dilated with anger.

Suddenly, a black commercial vehicle drove out from one side and stopped in front of them.

Jiang Chu walked out of the business car, walked towards the dilapidated broken card, stopped at the co-driver's seat, and said to Hua Qiang, the co-driver: "We, Mr. Li, want to talk to you."

Wu Shuai was worried that the visitor was not kind, and said to Jiang Chu: "We have our own affairs to do, and we can't fully cooperate with you. Please don't pester us."

Jiang Chu didn't care about Wu Shuai's words, but just looked at Hua Qiang.

Hua Qiang was upset, and remained silent for a long time, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Before getting out of the car, Hua Qiang said to Wu Shuai: "I'll be back as soon as I go, you... If you don't see me back in an hour, leave here. Remember to take good care of the little lion, he is not as lucky as you."

Wu Shuai said decisively, "I'll go with you."

"No need." Hua Qiang gritted his teeth, "This is my own business, and I need to face it myself."

Hua Qiang got out of the car and followed Jiang Chu into the commercial vehicle.

The car stopped in front of the Li family mansion.

Hua Qiang followed Jiang Chu to the study upstairs, where Li Mo was waiting.

The moment the door opened, Li Mo spoke first: "Long time no see."

Hua Qiang said in a deep voice, "Yeah, long time no see. You're a pretty big boy now. You didn't even bother to turn around when you saw my old friend."

Li Mo pondered the words "old friend" playfully.

Suddenly, he turned around and looked at the hunched Hua Qiang at the door.

"Can we still be considered friends now?" Li Mo asked.

Hua Qiang smiled bitterly: "Whatever you think, anyway, in my heart, I regard you as friends."

Li Mo invited Hua Qiang to the side tea room.

In fact, Hua Qiang has been very resistant to face Li Mo. He knows very well that Li Mo is no longer the youthful boy he was ten years ago. The whipping of life has tempered him into a sharp sword.

Hua Qiang took his seat, and after Jiang Chu poured tea, he nodded his thanks slightly.

He resisted Li Mo's gaze very much, so he pretended to drink tea calmly, but he couldn't help but look at Li Mo.

Li Mo's eyes had an indescribably deep and indifferent feeling, as if there was an ice cellar hidden inside, once it fell into it, it would be beyond redemption.

Li Mo spoke first, without greetings or hypocritical politeness, just straight to the point: "I'm not as easy to deceive as Xiaoxi."

These words made Hua Qiang's hand tremble, and the tea in the cup swirled out a little, splashed on his fingers, and formed an embarrassing water mark.

Hua Qiang reacted quickly, using a smile to hide the panic in his heart: "What did you misunderstand?"

Li Mo said: "There is no misunderstanding."

His pupils shrank slightly, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

He said: "If I were you, I would also find it very difficult. Where should I start? From that ten-year-old boy, or from your illness?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Hua Qiang's face became serious, and his eyes were full of guard and resistance.

Li Mo said: "It took a total of 40 minutes from Jiangchu to pick you up now. During these 40 minutes, how many self-justifying stories have you made up?"

Hua Qiang did not expect that Li Mo's eyes were so powerful that he could see right through him.

Li Mo was right, on the way here, Hua Qiang really only had one thing on his mind, after deceiving Lin Xiaoxi, what kind of stories should he make up to deceive Li Mo.

This is what Li Mo said, if he still uses some false stories to prevaricate, I am afraid that he will not be able to walk out of the Li family mansion.

Hua Qiang smiled bitterly, and said a sentence that had been lingering in his heart before: "What should come will always come."

"Little Lion is innocent, I hope you don't bother him." Hua Qiang said in a pleading tone.

Li Mo said, "That depends on what you say."

Hua Qiang said: "Since you can call me here and still treat me like this, it means that you have certain guesses about many things."

Li Mo: "A guess is a guess, and you have to decide in the end."

Hua Qiang: "What do you want to know?"

Li Mo: "The key, that little boy, and the lion dance moves."

None of these keywords are simple, and none of them can be explained clearly in a few words.

Hua Qiang: "Then let's start with the tragedy ten years ago."

"You know, I'm an apprentice at Xiaoxi's house, and even Xiaoxi can tell that I'm just a hopeless apprentice. So, her parents never taught me anything, and never let me formally dance The lion has passed. As a lion dancer, for me at that time, it was a pity that I could not perform on stage."

"During that time, it was very hard for me, with endless chores and no way out. However, a woman named Wang Haiqin in their family calmed my ignorant panic when I was young."

"Wang Haiqin is a restless woman who always comes into contact with strange men. I reminded her a few times, but instead of listening, she sneered at me. Yes, in the eyes of people like us, only People who know how to bury their heads in life are just a joke, right?"

Eleven years ago, on a rainy night, Hua Qiang quarreled with Wang Haiqin again because of the men around her.After the quarrel, Hua Qiang calmed down and felt that he was irrational, and wanted to apologize to her and talk to her.But he didn't expect that when he came to the door of Wang Haiqin's house, he heard her laughing with a man from inside.
