I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 60 Brother, why don’t we be friends?

Looking around, there is a farm not far away, which looks to cover a large area.

But I didn’t see the main gate, so I don’t know whose house it is, and I don’t know if there are any friends inside who I can make friends with.

There is a small chicken feather shop in the alley diagonally opposite.

A tattered flag with the vaguely recognizable word "wine" written on it fluttered in the wind.

But I didn't see any guests coming in or out.

Seeing that there was no one around, Shen Lang walked towards the tavern.

As soon as I reached the door, a crippled dwarf walked out of the tavern.

To be precise, a hunchback.

However, his hands were different from those of ordinary people. His fingers were very thick, and the veins on his hands were prominent.

Shen Lang only took a glance and felt that this hunchback had something extraordinary about him.

The hunchback spoke first: "Sir, would you like to have a quick meal or stay the night?"

"Can you stay here?" Shen Lang asked with a smile.

The hunchback nodded. "We sell some rough food in the front, and there are three or five simple guest rooms in the back. You can get food and accommodation for a very low price."

"In that case, let's get some wine and food first," said Shen Lang.

After thinking for a moment, he threw out a small piece of silver and said, "You decide on the arrangements."

"Please wait, sir. It will be ready soon."

This pub is really small.

There were only three or four dirty tables, and the drinks they sold were of extremely low quality.

Perhaps only those people who have failed to make money would come to such places for food and accommodation.

But Shen Lang didn't care at all. He found a table and sat down.

The shop owner said it would be fast and it was indeed fast. In less than a quarter of an hour, a plate of beef, a plate of dried tofu, two steamed buns and two pots of wine were served.

Seeing that there were no customers in the shop, Shen Lang casually asked, "Shopkeeper, since there are no customers now, why don't you chat with me? I have something I want to ask you."

The hunchback smiled and said, "If you want to ask me about Jianghu affairs, I will tell you if I know anything about it."

"May I ask your name, owner?"

"My surname is Sun, but everyone calls me Sun the Hunchback." Sun the Hunchback said as he wiped the table next to him, "Is that the only reason you asked this?"

"Of course not. I want to ask who owns the farm in front?" Shen Lang said, "I'm new to your precious place, so I'm bothering you."

Upon hearing this, Sun Tuozi paused for a moment in wiping the table.

Then he said, "Let the guests know that the manor in front is Xingyun Manor."

"Xingyun Manor?" Shen Lang's mind was spinning rapidly.

I remembered.

Li Xunhuan's house.

The man who gave his fiancée and property to his brother.

I'm late.

The cousin who had never known Li Xunhuan before Long Xiaoyun.

Then he asked, "Since it's Xingyun Manor, then Long Xiaoyun and Lin Shiyin must be living there?"

"That's right." Sun Tuozi nodded, "But it used to be called Li Garden, and now it's called Xingyun Manor."

Then he continued, "Sir, please enjoy your meal. I'm busy in the kitchen. Feel free to call me if you need anything."

After saying this, Sun Tuozi prepared to turn around and leave.

Shen Lang suddenly called out to him, "Sun Tuozi, do you know why I'm here?"

"Please forgive my stupidity. I don't know why you are here." Sun Tuozi shook his head.

At the same time, I felt a little doubtful and wary.

Shen Lang took a sip of wine before saying, "Have you been here so long that you can't even recognize my appearance?"

"I am an old man with limited vision. May I ask whether you are..."

"Shen Lang!"

"Shen Lang?" Sun Tuozi suddenly lost his voice, his eyes widened, and he looked incredulous.

Because this name reminded him of the world's number one hero many years ago.

Shen Lang nodded slowly, because this was really his name.

So strictly speaking, it can't be considered as impersonation. If there is any impersonation, it is someone else impersonating him.

Sun Tuozi carefully examined Shen Lang's appearance for a while before asking, "Master Shen, didn't you go out to sea to search for immortals?"

He remembered very clearly that Shen Lang, who created the first ten years of the martial arts legend, was in his thirties and should have achieved great things, but he suddenly bought a boat and went to sea to look for the fairy mountains overseas.

Also accompanying him were several good friends including Zhu Qiqi, Xiongmaoer, and Wang Lianhua.

Before leaving, Wang Lianhua prepared to give all his life's work to Li Xunhuan, the son of his best friend, and asked Li Xunhuan to keep it for him and help him find a talented and well-intentioned disciple to be his successor.

Unexpectedly, Li Xunhuan had to leave the country for something, so he handed the money over to Lin Shiyin for safekeeping.

Wang Lianhua was worried that the news of the secret book would leak out and attract outsiders, so she asked Sun Tuozi to guard it here.

Wang Lianhua herself and her friends such as Shen Lang never returned.

"Yes, I originally went out to sea to search for immortals, but ended up in a different world." Shen Lang sighed and added: "I came back this time for something."

"May I ask why Mr. Shen is here?" Sun Tuozi asked respectfully.

"The Mirror of Love," Shen Lang said. "Wang Lianhua gave it to Lin Shiyin back then, and yet all these years have passed, and Li Xunhuan still doesn't know about it. How ridiculous."

"What?" Sun Tuozi was shocked. "He, he doesn't know?"

He has been here for many years, and many people have come in and out of Xingyun Manor.

No one ever paid attention to him, let alone mentioned this secret book.

In order to fulfill Wang Lianhua's entrustment, he stayed here year after year, and had no idea how long he would have to stay here.

As a result, Li Xunhuan, who should have known the secret book and wanted to find a successor for Wang Lianhua, didn't know it?

At this moment, he broke his defense.

"That's right." Shen Lang nodded, "I came here to retrieve this secret book."

"Excuse me, Mr. Shen, how do you know that Li Tanhua doesn't know about this?" Sun Tuozi still didn't quite believe it and asked cautiously.

Shen Lang said confidently: "Since I am here, I must have my own channels. Once I retrieve the secret book, you don't have to stay here any longer. Go home and reunite with your family as soon as possible."

After saying that, he stood up, walked out of the tavern, and headed towards Xingyun Manor.

Getting the secret book is fake, meeting the legendary Lin Shiyin is the real thing.

Sun Tuozi opened his mouth.

But I don’t know what to say.

Watching Shen Lang leave.

Arrived in front of Xingyun Manor.

The most attractive thing is the two couplets written by the emperor in front of the gate.

One school has seven Jinshi, and the father and his son have three talents.

Well written.

It’s a pity that it is now Xingyun Manor.

Shen Lang had just stepped onto the stone steps when he heard someone shouting, "Who are you? How dare you barge into Fourth Master Long's house?"

Looking up, he saw a man with big hemp seeds, wearing a brocade sheepskin coat with the collar open and holding a birdcage in his hand, rushing over and blocking his way.

Shen Lang frowned slightly and asked, "From what crack did you jump out?"

Ma Zi put one hand on his waist and said loudly: "I am the housekeeper here, and my daughter is the godsister of Mrs. Long here. What do you want?"

"My face is covered with pockmarks, it's an eyesore for the city!"

boom!
There was a gunshot.

Ma Zi's mind suddenly opened up, and he fell straight to the ground. The birdcage in his hand fell to the ground, scaring the birds in the cage into chirping.

The gunshot at the door startled everyone in the house.

In just a moment, someone inside the door shouted, "Is Xunhuan here? Xunhuan, my good brother, you are finally here, Madam, Madam, it should be Xunhuan..."

Then a middle-aged man with a handsome appearance, dressed in gorgeous clothes and a slight beard rushed out.

Originally, he was full of excitement, but when he saw that it was not Li Xunhuan, his expression suddenly turned cold.

Looking at Ma Zi lying on the ground, he immediately frowned: "Who are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Lang saw a woman standing at the entrance of the hall.

Although her face was very pale and her body was too thin, her temperament was incomparable.

Shen Lang clasped his hands together and said, "Brother, my name is Shen Lang. I love making friends. I see that my sister-in-law is so mature, elegant, and beautiful. Why don't we become friends?"
