I Am Sleepwalking

As soon as Su Liang changed her clothes and opened the window, she saw Lao Bai slamming Lao Mu into the water.

Lao Bai was too tough, Qi Jun and Ling Dong didn't dare to do anything rashly, so they all called Su Liang.

As soon as he made a sound, Su Liang jumped down from the second floor of Yuanming Pavilion. He tapped his toes on the edge of the lake. Seeing Lao Mu struggling to drown, he immediately jumped into the lake, swam over, grabbed him, and dragged him to the shore.

Qi Jun and Liao Dong rushed over, one grabbed Lao Mu and the other grabbed Su Liang.

Lao Mu didn't know how to swim. He was patted on the back by Qi Jun. His face turned pale and he couldn't help but cough.

Su Liang was fine except that she was soaked. After standing still, she looked at Lao Bai.

Lao Bai fell down among the broken porcelain pieces of the wine jar, looking up at Su Liang dreamingly, still muttering "little junior sister" in his mouth.

Seeing that Su Liang was about to go over, Liao Dong subconsciously held her back. She felt that Lao Bai's mental state was unstable and she was afraid that he would attack Su Liang.

"It's okay." Su Liang brushed away the honeysuckle and walked to Lao Bai. Seeing that his bare feet were bleeding when he stepped on the broken porcelain, he put the broken porcelain aside and reached out to pull him.

Lao Bai moved back as if he was suddenly frightened, "Junior sister is dead...you are not...who are you..."

"Senior, my name is Su Liang. This is my home. You were brought here by Lao... Lao Jin." Su Liang said warmly.

Lao Bai grabbed his messy hair, "Lao Jin... Lao Jin... That bastard tricked me into finding a good apprentice... There is good wine... How can there be a good apprentice..."

Su Liang pointed at herself, with a smile as bright as a flower, "That's me!"

When Lao Bai saw Su Liang's smiling face, he became dull again and allowed her to pull him up. Although he is very powerful in combat, he is unable to stand firmly on flat ground.

Lao Mu, who was not far away, was furious when he saw Su Liang helping Lao Bai, "Damn it! Whose disciple are you? Why don't you come over and help me?"

Qi Jun and Ling Dong both rushed to help Lao Mu, but they were pushed away by him, "Smelly girl, if you don't come, I won't get up!"

Su Liang called Qi Jun over and wanted to hand Lao Bai over to him, "Take this senior to clean up."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Qi Jun reached out his hand, Lao Bai, who was clearly unable to walk on his own, slapped him away...

Lonicera pulled Qi Jun back before he fell into the lake.

Qi Jun exclaimed, "That senior is so strong!"

There was no other way, Su Liang could only ignore Lao Mu, helped Lao Bai into Yuanming Pavilion, asked him to sit down, and poured him a glass of warm water.

Lao Bai listened to Su Liang's words, but the result was that he fainted immediately after drinking a glass of water...

Su Liang had no choice. This man was a volcano that could erupt at any time. He could only let him "sleep" first and then make long-term plans.

Then Su Liang went out and asked Qi Jun to take Lao Bai away, clean him, put dressing on his wounds, and change his clothes.

When Su Liang went to help Lao Mu, he couldn't pull him up, so he simply sat on the ground next to him.

"It's already soaked anyway. You can dry it before going back." Su Liang said calmly.

Lao Mu glared at Su Liang fiercely, "Do you think his martial arts is better than mine and dislike me?"

Su Liang shook his head, "Lao Bai has great martial arts skills, but he is short."

Lao Mu suddenly had a sense of superiority and tried to suppress his laughter but couldn't, "Hahahaha! That's right! That drunkard is just a dwarf compared to me!"

"Master, aren't you friends?" Su Liang asked.

Lao Mu twisted the water out of his hair and said angrily, "I am most afraid of water! I will break up with him today!"

Su Liang chuckled, "He is not clear-headed. Master, please don't argue with him."

Lao Mu hummed, "He doesn't even know who you are, and you're so nice to him?"

Su Liang said seriously, "If Master is unhappy, then throw him out."

Lao Mu gave Su Liang a roll of his eyes, "Don't act with me!"

"Does master know who the junior sister he is talking about is?" Su Liang asked.

Lao Mu shook his head, "We are drinking buddies, how did I know this? Even if she is alive, she must be an old woman."

Su Liang felt that the "little junior sister" must be an extremely important person to Lao Bai, and he should not be confused. Maybe she does look a bit like Lao Bai's junior sister when she was young. I'll have to ask him when he wakes up.

"Didn't you say you wanted to make delicious food for me?" Lao Mu had been thinking about it.

Su Liang pulled him up, "Master has eaten all the snacks Yan Yu brought. Are you still hungry?"

"Snacks are not rice!" Lao Mu shook his head, "You don't even know, in order to carry that drunkard back, I had to find him drinks all the time. I was exhausted. Who am I doing this for?"

"Master has worked hard for me." Su Liang called Liandong over, "You take my master to wash up, change clothes, take a rest, and I'll cook. What does master like to eat?"

"Meat!" Lao Mu's voice was loud.

"Okay!" Su Liang said no problem.

Lao Mu and Lao Bai were both arranged in Qi Jun's courtyard, not far from Yuanming Pavilion.

By the time Qi Jun gave Lao Bai a bath and Lao Mu took a bath himself, Liandong had already left the house and went to the Yan Family Embroidery Village to pick up two big bundles. They were clothes bought for the two old men respectively. They had everything from head to toe. .

When Lao Mu put on new clothes and went to see Lao Bai, he saw him lying quietly on the bed, neatly dressed, with his hair and beard neatly taken care of by Qi Jun. He looked completely different from before.

"Boy, comb my hair too." Lao Mu scratched his messy hair and looked at Qi Jun, "comb it well, you'll look better than him!"

Qi Jun smiled and nodded, "No problem. Senior, please take a seat."

Not long after, Lao Mu held up the bronze mirror and looked left and right, a little afraid to recognize it, "Why do I feel younger all of a sudden?"

Hiding his hair, shaving his beard, and wearing new clothes that fit him well, the already tall and thin Lao Mu's temperament has been improved by several levels, and he looks fresh and neat.

Qi Jun praised him a few times, and Lao Mu asked him, "Who is better-looking, me or Lao Bai?"

Lao Bai was still asleep, so he couldn't hear him anyway, so Qi Jun of course said that Lao Mu was better-looking.

Lao Mu looked satisfied. Not long after, when Qi Jun was chased and beaten by Lao Bai, he realized a philosophy of life: For some multiple-choice questions, no matter what you choose, it is wrong...

...

Su Liang carefully prepared a table of food for Lao Mu, including braised fish, spicy ** Bao duck, sweet and sour spare ribs, full of meat, and the staple food was thousand-layer meat pie.

Ren Dong came to tell Su Liang that Lao Mu was asking Qi Jun to help him shave his beard, and he came over soon.

Su Liang served a plate of each dish, and put two meat patties that had just come out of the pot into the food box, and handed it to Ren Dong, "Send it to the Marquis of Changxin's mansion."

Ren Dong was stunned, "Master, you're still sending food to the Marquis of Changxin..." What about the breakup we agreed on...

Su Liang went to fry the remaining meat patties, "Go and come back quickly, try not to be seen."

"Oh." Ren Dong had no choice but to carry the food box, climb over the wall and leave the mansion, and secretly send food to the Marquis of Changxin's mansion.

Su Liang walked into Yuanming Pavilion with the prepared food, and saw Lao Mu sitting upright in a brand new look.

"Is this my master? Where did this handsome uncle come from?" Su Liang pretended to be surprised.

Lao Mu was instantly delighted, "This dress is not bad."

Su Liang smiled and set the food, "Master, as long as you like it, buy whatever you like in the future, and don't save money for me."

After hearing this, Lao Mu felt so comfortable! After eating the dishes made by Su Liang, Lao Mu was even happier, "My dear disciple, your cooking skills are really good!"

Su Liang accompanied Lao Mu to eat a little, and also replaced wine with tea, and formally became his apprentice.

The more Lao Mu looked at Su Liang, the more he liked him, and he had long forgotten the genius inheritor he really wanted to accept.

At this time, Gu Ling also ate the all-meat banquet made by Su Liang, all of which were his favorites. The key point was that Su Liang was still thinking about his meal, which made him feel much brighter all of a sudden.

You know, since he met Su Liang, he has long been unaccustomed to living alone...

...

Lao Mu ate and drank enough and went to sleep.

Su Liang told Qi Jun and Ren Dong that Lao Mu's surname was Jin, and she could call him Lao Jin or Jin Lao. He was a master she recognized before, and he would live with her in the future.

While Lao Bai was sleeping, Su Liang took his pulse. Because of excessive drinking for many years and extremely irregular life, although his martial arts value was very high, his physical problems were not small and he was on the verge of collapse.

Su Liang planned to give him proper medical treatment and make sure he quit drinking. After a preliminary understanding of his situation, he would talk about becoming his apprentice.

Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing came to see Su Liang in the afternoon. They were still the same as before, a sweet couple. Su Liang explained that she was not deceived by Gu Ling, and the fake marriage was a conspiracy between the two. Xing Yusheng said that he would take back his curse on Gu Ling...

After sending them away, Su Liang also went to the Lin family to meet Lin Shuzhi, talked to him about the trip to Liang State, and took the pulse of the two sisters-in-law. Lin Boyan's wife was about to give birth, and Su Liang said that he would come to deliver her at that time, so that she could relax and not be too nervous.

In the evening, Su Liang was about to leave, saying that there were guests at home. Lin Bojun chased her out and gave her a letter, "Lin Shu asked me to give it to you alone."

Su Liang felt strange. Lin Qi has a letter for him, which can be left in Xuanbei City and let Xing Ji or Qi Jun pass it on. She will receive it faster, and Lin Bojun should give it to her alone...

"I'll read it when I get back." Su Liang took it, "Second brother, you don't need to send me off, go back quickly."

...

When I got home, it was already dark.

Su Liang opened Lin Qi's letter, which contained two pages of paper. The first page had only one line of words, "There is one sentence, I have thought about it, and I still decided to tell you..." Then, at the bottom of the second page, there was a line of words, "Su Xiaoliang, see you later! Haha!"

Su Liang seemed to see Lin Qi grinning while writing this mysterious letter...

Dinner was bought by Qi Jun from Wanjia Restaurant. Wan Hui and Lu Yu accompanied their elders after the Chinese New Year and took Zheng'er back to Qingyang City. They are not in the capital now.

Su Liang wrote a list and asked Qi Jun to give it to the shopkeeper of Wanjia Restaurant. It was a meal order for Su Mansion and Changxin Marquis Mansion. There were seven days of menus in total, and it was clearly written what food would be delivered at what time and how much for each meal every day.

Wanjia Restaurant had never taken on this kind of "private customization" business, but because it was Su Liang's request, they naturally had no choice.

Lao Mu was very unhappy when he learned that Su Liang didn't have time to cook every day, after all, he just had one meal.

Su Liang smiled and said that she would do it when she had time, but she had something to do next.

"What are you busy with?" Lao Mu asked.

"I'm treating Lao Bai. When he gets better, if he is willing to accept me as his apprentice, there are many things to learn." Su Liang looked serious.

"I'm also your master, don't you want to learn something from me?" Lao Mu said sourly.

Su Liang smiled, "I'm not cut out for this, Master, you should teach Gu. But let's take it easy for a few days, someone is watching him, wait until his spy is gone. Master can give him some drawings and things like that, let him figure it out on his own."

Old Mu sighed deeply, "There's nothing good to eat, but he still has to rush to find that annoying guy!"

"Master, Wanjia Restaurant is opened by my sister, the dishes I ordered are all delicious, not worse than what I cook." Su Liang said.

"It's different anyway." Old Mu snorted, "Forget it, it's not good to let your delicate little girl cook with smoke and fire all the time, I'll just listen to you."

Regarding this matter, although Lao Mu wanted to eat the food cooked by Su Liang, he appreciated Su Liang's attitude of not being polite at all and not cooking if he was not free. On the one hand, he liked Su Liang's enterprising spirit and wanted to learn poison techniques, so he would not let go of the opportunity. On the other hand, this made him feel that Su Liang did not treat him as a guest, but as a family member. It was like his own little girl acting like a spoiled child, and he couldn't wait to pamper her, so how could he not respond.

…

Su Liang had instructed that even in the middle of the night, as long as Lao Bai showed signs of waking up, she should be called immediately.

Therefore, that night, Qi Jun stayed up to watch Lao Bai, and Su Liang was sorting out the books she brought back from Liangguo, and she didn't sleep either.

Hearing Qi Jun calling her from below, Su Liang went downstairs immediately.

"I saw him move his hands just now, but he hasn't opened his eyes yet." Qi Jun said.

"Thank you for your hard work." Su Liang said.

Qi Jun smiled, "Master, don't be so polite all the time."

"Oh, I'm trying to win people's hearts." Su Liang looked serious.

Qi Jun: ... His master is the best at talking nonsense in a serious manner.

When Su Liang saw Lao Bai, he just opened his eyes.

Su Liang waved her hand, signaling Qi Jun to go out first. She sat down beside the bed, "Senior, do you still remember me? I am Su Liang, this is my home, and you were invited by my master, Lao Jin."

Lao Bai's eyes were confused at first, and gradually became clearer when he looked at Su Liang. He opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "Good...disciple?"

Su Liang couldn't help laughing, "Yes. I am the good disciple that Lao Jin wants to bring you to find."

"Little girl...how old are you...who is your mother..." Lao Bai asked weakly.

"I just turned sixteen. My grandfather is Su Yuanzhou, and I don't know who my mother is." Su Liang shook her head. She felt that Lao Bai was looking through her to see another person, with affectionate eyes and deep regret, probably thinking of the "little sister" again.

Su Liang smiled, "Do I look a bit like the little sister of the senior?"

Lao Bai shook his head slightly.

Su Liang was just feeling strange when he heard him whisper, "No... a little bit like... too much like..."

"My mother was married to my father when he was out doing business. They were both killed before they returned home. Maybe I have some connection with the senior's junior sister." Su Liang analyzed, "If the senior can tell me the identity of that junior sister, I can investigate."

Lao Bai fell silent, his eyes still fixed on Su Liang's face. After a long time, he spoke again, "No... no..."

Su Liang nodded, "Okay." It seems that Lao Bai doesn't want to talk about his junior sister, nor does he want her to investigate anything.

"The senior has been drinking too much for many years, and his body is already at the end of its strength. Next, you have to quit drinking and take good care of yourself." Su Liang said.

"Why..." Lao Bai looked at Su Liang and asked.

Su Liang asked back, "What?"

"Why are you so good to me..." Lao Bai said in a deep voice.

Su Liang looked serious, "This is what happened. Lao Jin is my master, and I want to learn poison. He said that you seem to be a master of poison, so I troubled my master to invite you over."

"Poison..." Lao Bai frowned slightly, "Why learn that?"

Su Liang mentioned the time when someone poisoned her and almost harmed her friends, "I don't want to hurt anyone, the first thing is to protect myself and my relatives and friends. I don't have to, but I have to learn it."

Lao Bai shook his head, "I don't accept disciples."

"Is that so..." Su Liang was very disappointed. It seems that Lao Bai is indeed a master of poison, but he is unwilling to accept disciples.

"But I can teach you." Lao Bai continued.

Su Liang's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Lao Bai's eyes were a little disappointed again, "What do you want to learn? I can teach you everything... But I don't accept apprentices, and you don't have to call me master..."

Su Liang felt that there must be a reason, so he asked directly. Lao Bai sighed, "There is a crazy woman who always troubles me... If she knows that you are my apprentice, you will not be at peace..."

"So that's it." Su Liang felt that Lao Bai was so kind to her because of her face, otherwise things would not be so smooth.

But in any case, her goal has been achieved.

"Are you hungry, senior?" Su Liang asked.

Lao Mu's sour voice came from outside the door, "I'm hungry!" He heard the movement here and came to see Lao Bai.

Su Liang smiled and stood up, "Senior, take a rest first, I'll go prepare some food and come back."

Lao Bai's eyes followed Su Liang's figure until he could no longer see him, then he sighed deeply, with water flashing in his eyes...

Su Liang went out and saw Lao Mu standing outside yawning.

"Is he awake? Not crazy anymore? Agree to take you as his apprentice?" Old Mu asked three times in a row.

Su Liang nodded, "Awake. But not as an apprentice."

Old Mu frowned, "He doesn't know poison? Or does he look down on you?"

Su Liang shook his head, "Yes, it's not that he looks down on me, but he thinks his apprentice is in trouble, and he said he can teach me, but we don't want the relationship between master and apprentice."

Old Mu was stunned for a moment, "Why did that drunkard suddenly become so serious?"

Su Liang smiled, "I'll go cook some porridge for Lao Bai, Master, do you want to eat it?"

Old Mu looked disgusted, "No, no!" He went back to his room to sleep.

When Su Liang cooked the porridge and brought it over, Lao Bai was still awake and didn't let him feed him. He sat up and slowly drank a bowl of porridge, and then drank the medicine Su Liang gave him.

"How should I address you, senior?" Su Liang asked.

"Just call me Lao Bai..." Lao Bai looked tired, "Your name is Su Liang?"

Su Liang smiled, "Yes."

"Well," Lao Bai nodded slightly, "Then I'll call you Xiao Bai."

Su Liang: ...Xiao Bai is Xiao Bai, as long as he is happy...

"Why do you want to be Lao Jin as your master? Do you want to be a carpenter?" Lao Bai was puzzled.

Su Liang shook his head, "I have a friend who wants to be a carpenter, so I became his master."

"Why do I need so many useless masters?" Lao Bai asked.

Su Liang looked serious, "If someone bullies me, I can ask my master for support."

Lao Bai nodded, "Lao Jin is not okay, I will support you."

Su Liang smiled, "So, senior, are you really a master of poison?"

Lao Bai shook his head, "No."

Su Liang raised his eyebrows and heard Lao Bai say, "Not a master, but a poison saint."

Su Liang: ...I can see that this old man is a bit arrogant in his bones...

After drinking the medicine, Lao Bai fell asleep quickly. Su Liang asked Qi Jun to go and rest, so there was no need to watch over him. She probably "conquered" this drunk man with amazing combat power with her face, and the "danger" was lifted.

Su Liang returned to Yuanming Pavilion. As soon as she entered the room, she saw someone sitting by the window, and the books she had not finished sorting were all neatly placed on the shelf beside her.

"Master, are you sleepwalking?" Su Liang said with a smile.

Gu Ling looked at her, "What's wrong?"

Su Liang walked over and sat down, telling what happened after meeting Lao Mu and Lao Bai today, and finally said, "Maybe my life experience is related to Lao Bai's junior sister, but he doesn't want to say more now, maybe it's just a coincidence. Master, you came, is there no spy watching you?"

Gu Ling shook his head, "I have sleepwalking." If Duanmu Yi asked, he would say he was sleepwalking, and he didn't know where he went at night. As for the spy, he had been thrown out of the city.

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, then reacted and gave a thumbs up, "Very good."

Gu Ling had heard of the name of the Poison Saint, a legendary figure who had not appeared for many years and was said to have died long ago.

"He was just living a life of drunkenness and dreams, not really dead." Su Liang was in a good mood.

"You learn from him, and then teach me." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang nodded, "No problem. He is Lao Bai, and he calls me Xiao Bai, so you have to call me Xiao Xiao Bai. It's weird, it sounds like my son."

Gu Ling raised his hand and tapped Su Liang's forehead gently.

Su Liang frowned, "Master, why did you hit someone?"

"I was sleepwalking, I don't remember what hitting someone was. You taught me." After saying that, Gu Ling flew out of the open window, like a black feather, and disappeared into the night.
