Volume 1: Gathering Storms Chapter 6: Brewing Wine and Discussing Heroes (4) Tian Jiao took the pipe and said, "I'll go out, you guess."

  Tian Jiao's "Treasures" indeed had two layers, and Ma Benqi guessed that sometimes she was empty-handed. When Ma Benqi made a wrong guess, Tian Jiao happened to have something. As a result, out of 24 cups of wine, Tian Jiao lost only 7 cups. After this round of battle, Ma Benqi's tongue had obviously grown larger, and his speech was no longer very fluent.

  "Alas, I'm a hero who can't get past the beauty, it's a pity! No way, no way!" He then took advantage of his drunken state to say to Tian Jiao: "Give your pager number to me, and we'll have a rematch another day."

  Seeing Ma's intoxication, Tianran said: "Ma, you're being very generous today, you've had a lot to drink. Let's not guess anymore, my brother and I will just clink glasses with you three, and that's it."

  "Boss, you're underestimating your horse brother. I still have three thousand nails on my ship. Let the horse come over."

  Nature was forced to fight back. Unexpectedly, Ma Benji had drunk a lot of wine, but his words were still clear. The first round, Nature lost. As he picked up the cup to drink, Ma Benji said: "Put it down, Shan Yang, the first one doesn't drink."

  After a few rounds, Tianran still lost. The total score is 9:15.

  Tianran said: "Ma Ju's Mei is good!"

  Ma Benzheng laughed and said: "It's not about guessing what card, the key is in the pointing method."

  When it was Tiān Lù's turn, Tiān Lù was lying on the table snoring, and no matter how loudly he was called, he couldn't be woken. Mǎ Bēn Chī said with some pride: "To capture the enemy without fighting is the best strategy."

  Tian Ran said: "Ma Ju's move this time is brilliant!"

  "Where, where, I, I, I have killed ten thousand, self-inflicted, eight thousand, eight thousand where."

  "Hero, hero!" Tian Jiao exclaimed.

  "Drinking heroes count, what's the point? Ah, right, today is Tianbiao's rebirth day. From now on, we each have our own goals, targets, and role models. Who are the heroes in our hearts? Let's talk about it. I'll start first. Heroes aren't found in drinking, but in doing things. My target and hero is Wu He Ping, the police chief of Kaifeng who cracked the 9.18 case in 1992 and is now at the Ministry of Public Security. Another one is Wen Qiang from Chongqing, not very famous yet, but an absolute expert. I want to become someone like them, fighting against evil and keeping the peace. Tianbiao, you say something." Ma Ben Cheng looked quite excited, with a heroic air about him.

  Tian Biao rolled up his sleeves, and with a flex of his right arm, his biceps bulged out, almost forming a sharp angle. "Schwarzenegger," he said. "Bodybuilding master, super superstar. Lately in the training camp, I've had good food, good sleep, plenty of time to work out, and my current state is pretty good."

  Take a closer look, this Tian Biao is indeed more robust than two years ago, his build has clearly increased by one level.

  "I don't have any idols, OK, I worship myself." Tian Jiao said, raising her hands.

  "My goal was originally Lu Xun, but now it's a secret," said Tianran.

  It was Tianlu's turn now, but he was still snoring loudly, his snores thundering like a dragon's roar, which didn't match his thin build at all.

  Ma Benzheng smiled and said: "Big brother also has a goal, that is, wild beasts." He looked at Tian Jiao again and asked: "What's the main course for us?"

  Several people said they had eaten and drunk enough, and couldn't eat anything else.

  Ma Benzheng smiled and said: "Well, in that case I won't count this as treating you all. Everyone hasn't eaten yet, let's eat."

  Tian Jiao also smiled and said: "It doesn't count, let's arrange another game next time."

  "No problem, as long as you're willing to give me some attention."

  Ma Benchi stuffed a few unopened packages of "Great China" liquor into Tianbiao and Tiannan's hands. Everyone stood up to leave, and Tiannan saw that there were only two bottles left in the box. Ma Benchi got up, his footsteps a bit unstable, and Tianbiao wanted to help him. He said: "Nothing's wrong, nothing at all. Who am I? Brother Ma is a galloping horse, speeding across the vast grasslands..."

  Tian Biao said: "Take a few steps back and take a look."

  That horse ran quickly and walked in a steady pace, just like it was supposed to. Everyone burst out laughing. Tian Jiao said: "Who says Ma Ju is drunk? Who says I'm in a hurry with someone?" Tian Lu, with the help of others, also stood up, still dazed, but as soon as he heard Tian Jiao mention the word "drunk", he quickly said: "I'm not lying to you, brother is really drunk." As he spoke, he wanted to vomit. The crowd burst out laughing again.

  A few people squeezed and crowded down the stairs, Ma Benchi came to the front desk to sign in with a dazed expression. A woman in her 40s, dressed in a seductive manner, immediately ran over, holding Ma Benchi's hand and coquettishly saying: "Ma Ge, you're here, why didn't you contact me? I'll go up and toast the brothers."

  A horse galloped while using his hand to rub the plump buttocks of a young woman, and turned his head to introduce her to everyone: "This is the boss's wife, surname He, full name I don't know, only know to call her He, He Xiangu." He then lowered his head and said to He Xiangu: "These are all my relatives, my brother, my younger brother, my sister."

  He Xiangu said with a smile: "Oh my, look at this girl, so sweet and lovely, much sweeter than Yang Yuying. Oh dear, and there's such a handsome guy, Chinese ** ah. Do you have a girlfriend? Do you want me to introduce one to you? I guarantee she's top-notch. This one... I don't dare say anything, just looking at him is like looking at a noble person, definitely a leader, with unlimited prospects. Please take care of me in the future. This one... and my Xiangu are of the same kind, just looking at him is like looking at a half-immortal, definitely understands yin and yang, familiar with the eight trigrams. Ma Ju, your friends all have extraordinary bearing, definitely will achieve great things. Please come back often, this is your home." He Xiangu said a lot in a vague manner, then handed each person a business card, before pushing Ma Ben to hurry up and leave.

  "What's going on? Let me sign, sign the bill."

  "Sign whatever you want to sign, if you're going to sign it, sign it on my face." He Xian'er then leaned her face closer to Ma Benzheng's mouth.

  "Not suitable for children, I suppose." Ma Benzheng said as he gave He Xiangu a loud kiss on the cheek. In front of his friends, he felt very accomplished and dignified.

  He insisted on driving himself, and everyone said no. He said: "I'm this kind of person, you can rest assured. The more I drink, the more stable I drive, don't believe me, take a look." Everyone couldn't persuade him, so they had to let him get in the car. Then he stuck his head out and said to Tian Jiao: "Sister, where are you going? Brother will give you a ride."

  Tian Jiao was about to speak when Tian Ran gave her a white eye. She then said, "Thanks, but I don't dare use such a high-ranking driver like you, Director Ma."

  "Alright, alright, let's keep in touch." Ma Benzheng indeed drove the car away steadily, this kid really has some skills.

  They used the Santana borrowed from another unit to send everyone off. Tianbiao sat in the front passenger seat, while Tianlu and Tianjiao sat in the back. As soon as the car started moving, He Xiangu began waving her two small hands non-stop and kept saying: "Drive slowly, drive slowly! Come sit more often, come sit more often!"

  Tianlu said angrily in the car: "Biaozi, your sister-in-law is not a good thing. You say, should she come today?"

  Several people said, "Big brother, you're drunk! Big sister is a good big sister!"

  They drove naturally and sent a few people back one by one. First, they sent Tian Biao, and everyone went into the house to sit for a while. The house had been cleaned up by Tian Jiao and several classmates including Xiao Yun a few days ago, which touched Tian Biao deeply. Then they sent Tian Lu to Shanyang University. When helping him into the house, Tian Jiao said: "Big brother, don't be cold with your sister-in-law anymore. We're family, what can't we get through?" Tian Lu said: "You don't know, you don't know."

  Finally sent Tianjiao to Shanyang Art School. On the way, Tiannan said: "Tianjiao, you still prioritize learning now, don't attend too many social events, and don't drink too much wine."

  Tian Jiao said: "Second brother, don't worry. I have it under control."
