Chapter 537: A smoker

"Are you...what's the matter?"

I turned my head and looked at him, that Li Hongbo was hiding behind a tree beside him, but obviously the width of this tree could not cover his whole body, so that he was almost half pulled out, especially his head. It may be to see me better, almost all of them are exposed.

From that face, I saw the harmless expressions of humans and animals, and those eyes also revealed an innocent charm.

I think if this is pretended, then this kid's scheming and acting skills are really invincible!

Li Hongbo looked at me, saw that I was looking at him, and when he asked such a sentence, he immediately felt shocked. The whole person trembled, and there was a cowardly expression in his eyes, a little shy. Shyly walked out from behind the tree.

What the hell? !

I looked at him and frowned.

Li Hongbo looked at me, then moved his gaze down, and slowly moved his gaze to the cigarette in my hand, suddenly showing a strange expression, and licking his lips with his tongue strangely...

What are you so greedy? !

"Come on?" Out of politeness, I took out the cigarette case and handed it over.

Li Hongbo trembled again. After hesitating for a while, he immediately ran over in small steps and quickly took out a cigarette. Because his hands were shaking and the strength was too great, he also brought out two or three of the surrounding ones. Fortunately, I hurried to a wrist. Shaking, they didn't let them fall on the ground.

Look at that kid again. After taking the cigarette, he walked back with the same small steps and continued to look at me.

I looked at him, blinked, and took out the lighter with my other hand: "Are you sure you don't need this?"

Li Hongbo: "..."

So the scene just showed up again. At any rate, there is only one lighter, and the others will not be spilled.

I watched him light the fire, took a cigarette, took a sip, and spit out. The action was agile. It was not the first time. I saw him like this, I thought he hadn't smoked before, so I planned to try it. Because I remember when I first bought this thing, I was so timid, like what I did.

But now it seems that his appearance is not because of this, could it be...

"You're not afraid of society, right."

"..."

Li Hongbo looked at me without speaking, but his face was full of "how do you know" expressions, very obvious.

I:"……"

Although a little speechless, I just think about it. Li Xiao’s family education is so strict, and the children he educated will definitely have some of these problems. He is not talkative, introverted, and timid, which is basically a manifestation of social terror. .

"Your tutor is quite strict, it doesn't matter, you can tell me anything, it's not good to smoke a stuffy cigarette over there alone, come and sit!"

As I said, I went straight to the doorstep, patted the side and motioned for him to sit down.

Li Hongbo looked at me vigilantly and somewhat resistingly, but still defeated under my smiling gaze, and managed to get on the steps, but at a distance from me.

When chatting with people who are afraid of society, we must respect them and don’t come close by myself, so I didn’t have a place to move, so I just sat in the original position and said, “Why, I smoke, don’t bring cigarettes, I’m done?”

Li Hongbo did not speak.

"Um... it should be your grandpa not letting you smoke."

"...Hmm." Li Hongbo nodded and agreed with a voice that was as thin as a mosquito.

"I'm afraid your grandfather will scold you, so I don't bring it, but depending on your posture, I don't want to smoke it secretly."

"..." Still not speaking.

"Will your grandfather find out? Including now, where is your grandpa? What if he suddenly comes over, aren't you finished?"

"..." Still not speaking.

"Oh-I know, I am introverted, I don't want to talk, and I won't persuade you to change it. It's an attitude to life. There is nothing right or wrong, but we are also smokers. You don't intend to say something. ?"

"..."

"Forget it, don't talk if you don't want to talk. Let's go after smoking. Disperse the smell on your body. Don't let your grandpa smell it, or you will still be scolded. Go to a place where the wind is strong, and go away quickly. "

I said, and threw the burnt cigarette butts on the ground and trampled them out. Although the two of me are about the same age, why do I always feel that he seems to be seven, eight, or ten years younger than me? How can I play with my brother? !

But looking at him, I also seemed to have seen me at the time. I was almost like him back then. After sneaking outside, I had to find a windy place to blow the smell before I dared to go home.

It feels weird, how is it like a heritage mantle.

I shook my head helplessly, got up and prepared to leave. Unexpectedly, when I just got up, Li Hongbo suddenly said, "My grandpa..."

"Huh?" I looked back at him.

Li Hongbo immediately trembled again, and his voice suddenly fell three minutes lower: "My grandfather is practicing in retreat, and he does it every day. There are two hours each in the morning, afternoon and evening. I only have this time to be able to move freely, and I only dare to be here. Time to smoke secretly."

As he said, the voice became smaller and smaller.

"Oh-no wonder so, you came here by mistake." I nodded and asked again.

"...Hmm." Li Hongbo was silent for a long time before nodding.

"Oh, that……"

"No."

I:"……"

Is this really? You are a little vague.

"Then you are..."

"I think you were brought over by the great lama, so I followed." Li Hongbo said.

"Ah, watching the excitement is coming, have you heard anything?" I asked.

"I heard, I didn't understand."

"..."

"What Shenglong, what fate, what is the top of the ten thousand races, I don't know what it means." Li Hongbo said honestly, the expression on his face was indeed dazed and confused, not like pretending.

Besides, how can it be pretended? He told Li Xiao to go, and he couldn't help but Li Xiao had to come!

"If you don't understand, don't think about it. You are also pitiful. What do Senior Li Xiao usually ask you to do?"

"Cultivation." Li Hongbo said. "Chop and chop five hundred times, sprint one thousand times, sprint one thousand times, rush the swallow a thousand times, lift the dragon threshold three thousand times, the mana runs every day..."

"Stop! Stop, stop! Okay, I know, I can't finish this one day. I understand, every day is just cultivating, right, my goodness, this is too serious to expect Jackie Chan, is it so strict? ?"

"Yeah." Li Hongbo nodded, his eyes clearly showed a hope to escape this kind of life, but it was obvious that this idea was suppressed by himself at the moment it was born again.

This kind of relationship is very entangled. Whether to leave this exhausted family, abandon his grandfather's care at the same time, and bear the pressure of being furious when he was discovered and captured by his grandfather, this is a serious problem and a difficult choice.

At least, it is impossible to figure out Li Hongbo's brain that has not been perfectly developed because of his practice. On the contrary, because of this kind of thinking, he was a little more stupefied, and he didn't even notice that the smoke on his hand was burnt and he started burning his hand.

"Throw it away! It's all burned!"

I frowned, and hurriedly took a picture of the remaining cigarette butts to the ground, looking at him speechlessly: "If you don't understand, don't think about it. Although it's hard work, I believe the effect is obvious. You Isn't it also called a genius boy?"

"Uh...Yes." Li Hongbo looked down at the cigarette **** on the ground, then raised his head to look at me, and replied blankly.

"But..." he said again. "Grandpa doesn't just let me practice all the time. He never lets me practice at night, so he will give me a good rest, and he will give me a medicinal bath before going to bed, and he will give me a pill when I get up in the morning, but he just doesn't let me. I drink and eat very little meat."

"So... Give me your hand." I thought for a while and said.

"Ah?!" Li Hongbo was startled, as if stepping on his tail.

"I'll try your mana!" I said irritably, and took his hand directly, pouring mana into it.

boom!

At this moment, I felt as if I hit the wall when I was running forward!

The young man in front of me, his mana gave me a completely different feeling, vigorous, solid, and continuous!

This is simply not something an ordinary practitioner can have. I have tried all of their mana, Zeng Xiujie, Gao Yan, and Geng Xi, but none of them are like this. If Li Hongbo’s mana is a stone wall, then their mana is like a cotton wall. same.

Even Tie Ning, the guy who refines power spells, doesn't have such mana!

Sure enough, they said that Li Hongbo has the same power as me, and that is true. No, from the basis of mana alone, I have not reached such a level. If it is really true, this Li Hongbo should also be able to reach the top ten position in the world.

"Sure enough, I hope my son will become a dragon, Senior Li Xiao is really likely to cultivate a dragon, amazing, amazing!"

I put down his hand and patted his shoulder with a smile. Of course, this action made him frowned again, with a frightened expression, and moved a meter to the side.

Seeing him like this, I couldn’t help being amused: "Hahahahaha, you guys are really interesting, hey, you just said that your grandpa doesn’t let you drink, and your grandpa doesn’t let you smoke, you smoke it secretly. You will also smoke. This will not allow you to drink. I am afraid that it will not stop you. There are three six-hour retreats this day. You should have done it."

"...Yes, yes." Li Hongbo stared and nodded.

I smiled, took out a bottle of wine from the system warehouse, looked at him grinningly, and shook the bottle in my hand: "Would you like to let our friendship evolve from a smoker to Where's the drinker?"

I looked at him, he looked at me.

Finally, under the lure of my wine and watching with a smile, he once again lost the battle, looked at the wine bottle, swallowed his mouth, and showed the same expression as when he first saw him again.
