Chapter 018 Those altar yellow wine
Xu Fengyen woke up in the morning, closed his eyes can feel the brocade bedding to bring the sense of comfort, which makes him very contented, did not starve and suffered from wind and cold, it is difficult to know the fullness and warmth of the splash of happiness, starvation cure for a hundred diseases of this truth, the fathers and mothers of the good advice, no matter how sincere and sincere, can not speak of that flavor.
In the Yellow Crane Tower with Li Hanlin Yan Chi set two anointed children talk about three years of travel, the two hair little just curious about jianghu anecdotes martial arts anecdotes, for starvation and freezing is not any feeling, so both hands and feet full of calluses so far have not faded Xu Fengyen is very grateful to be able to live to return to Liangzhou, only just sat up, live next door on the couch of the warmth of a big girl sweet potato came in to help dress and wear a crown, Xu Fengyen did not refuse, know well about the marketplace! Hardship is good, overkill is not good.
When sweet potato hand flow, gently reminded the table more a secret letter, Xu Fengyen hmmm.
Inside the gentry, overstepping the rules is a taboo, and then favored maids and concubines, do not dare to take it lightly, Xu Fengyen got out of bed and rinsed his mouth and washed his face, and gently opened the letter, such things are not common, Wutong Court is not accessible to anyone, and the envelope was written in small seal script on the outside of the envelope, Yin.
Xu Fengyen is not surprised, the old man around the earth branch of the ten dead soldiers is known to the public secret, each as not see the sunshine of the spirits and ghosts, good strange doors and hidden armors, take the side road, kill people in the invisible.
Xu Fengyen found that this letter is a similar itinerary introduction, the text is straightforward, are recorded Lao Huang’s trip to the East China Sea, everything, one by one record.
At first it was all trivial, Xu Fengyen looked at it funny, thought that at that time his own parade of embarrassing things, but also by the old man all know, when Xu Fengyen saw the old Huang into the east of Jieshi can watch the sea within the jurisdiction of the city of the Wudi, because of that “Yin” attached some of the old Huang outside of the secret, for example, a few of the world’s leading masters of the way of the sword have entered the city of the Wudi, except for the Yue Wang sword, the city of the Wudi. Wudi City, in addition to the Yue Wang Sword Pond’s head, there are two Wu family sword mound that rarely enter the world are out of the mountain into the East China Sea, waiting for the peak of the battle of the city, the next article even mentioned the prestigious first grade master Cao Guan Zi in Wudi City rented a whole building to watch the sea.
Although Xu Fengyen did not personally experience witnessed, but obviously feel a sense of suffocation of the black clouds and wind and rain, the penultimate story about the old yellow in the main city building not far from a wine store to rest for a moment, to ask for wine two two, half a catty of meat, a plate of peanuts.
This old Huang, or not warm old man ah.
“Yin” size spy book only the last one left.
Xu Fengnian did not rush to read on, just remembered the many things that happened in the three years, the largest but ran into the cut paths of grain varmints roadblocking robbers, small on countless, just fleeing from the refugees in general to solve the problem of food and clothing, pitting and cheating and stealing, can think of tricks are all tricked out, but unfortunately, often no harvest not to mention, but also to discuss a blank stare after a beating.
From the beginning to see a pretty woman on the shy face to accost to finally see the posture of the girl on the detour, from picking three and four this meat is not fine enough this wine is not mellow enough, to later have a mouth of hot tea to drink a little meat on the taste of thank goodness, a world of difference.
Borrowed two tattered robes and pretended to be a poor monk, telling fortunes to people.
In the alley set up that has not yet been in the folklore of the nineteen Go, the results did not earn any money, but was a few fine wood fox alley villain to get a loss of a few coins.
I’ve sold paintings and calligraphy, and I’ve written letters for village men and women.
I’ve sold paintings and calligraphy, and I’ve written letters for village men and women.
–Young master, this is a cucumber stolen from the vegetable garden near the village, it can be eaten raw.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
The gray-headed son of His Highness sat on the small earth bag, will chew a mouthful of cucumber thrown out a long way, after a column of incense time, His Highness breathless towards the squatting side of the old yellow wildly chewing cucumber beckon: alas, old yellow, help me pick up that cucumber back, really do not have the strength to get up.
Young master, this is corn on the cob, roasted, better than eating raw cucumbers.
No need to talk nonsense, eat!
–Old Huang, what is this thing you’ve pulled out of the ground.
Groundnut.
Can you eat it raw?
Yes!
It’s so damn crunchy and sweet.
Master, can I say something?
Yes!
It’s even better when it’s cooked.
Damn you! Why didn’t you say so?
–Although stealing this chicken almost cost me my life, it’s worth it! It’s no worse than tender yellow muntjac.
It smells good.
Lao Huang, when you first entered the village, why did you keep looking at that slut’s ass? Last time you even looked at a village girl who was breastfeeding her child, so what, you could see a baby just by looking at her?
I don’t dare to touch, I just dare to look.
Good luck!
–Old Huang, I’m not going to die, am I? If I had known, I wouldn’t have touched the box in your traveling bag.
I wouldn’t have! Don’t be so naive, young master. People are scared of themselves. I like to think of the good things. Young master, think of the good wine, the good meat, and the pretty girl, and you’ll get over it.
The more you think about it, the more you want to die.
No, no, no, no. Young master still owes me several jugs of yellow wine. A man’s word is his word, and four oxen, five donkeys, and six horses can’t pull him back, and even a loud fart from my hometown can make a pit.
Old Huang, it’s really not funny at all.
I’ll change the joke for the young master.
No, I’ve heard your old, dirty stories a thousand times before, and I’m sick of hearing them. Don’t worry, I’m not going to die.
I’ll be fine.
–Old Huang, never had a wife?
No. When I was young, I only knew how to do hard labor. I worked all day long, but I couldn’t save any coins. When I got older, no girl was interested in me.
Life was so boring and disappointing.
Fortunately, just like my old Huang has never tasted the bird’s nest and bear’s paw in my life, I won’t miss their taste, and at most I will catch the opportunity to look at a couple of eyes and then enjoy it, young master, isn’t that right?
I didn’t realize you knew anything about reasoning.
Hey, I’m just trying to figure it out.
–Huang, Wen Hua is always practicing with his sword, but he doesn’t look like he has any talent for it.
Master, I don’t think you can tell just by looking at him. It’s just like when I was a kid, when I went up the mountain to get firewood, the strong ones would not give up after two hours of chopping, but I was clumsy, so I sharpened the wood knife, and then chopped for six or seven hours, and I would always get down the mountain with more firewood than they did. Moreover, if you go up to the mountain to get firewood and stay there for a long time, you may be able to see good wood, and you may be able to sell some coins if you cut a piece of it.
This method is too stupid.
Stupid people have to use stupid methods, or they won’t be able to survive. It’s hard to be born into this world, I think we can’t do nothing.
I can’t stand your reasoning. By the way, Lao Huang, if I learn the sword, will I have a future?
It’s a great future, isn’t it?
Old Huang, this compliment coming from you really doesn’t give you any sense of accomplishment at all. Hey, hey, hey, how many times have I told you not to look at me like that?
— Big maid Sweet Potato looked at His Highness the Prince’s complexion, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Xu Fengyen collected his thoughts and finally turned over the final chapter.
“Jian Jiuhuang swept up the wall with his box on his back and stood twenty feet away from Wang Xianzhi, the five swords in the box came out, and the eight sword styles came out. Wang Xianzhi responded with one hand. A total of sixty-eight moves. At the end, sword nine out. Wang Xianzhi’s right hand moved. Sword nine, like a galaxy pouring down a thousand miles, destroying Wang Xianzhi’s right arm sleeve robe. Wang Xianzhi fought with all his strength, Jian Jiuhuang broke forty-nine moves with one hand and one sword, until he died.
Attachment 1: Jian Jiuhuang’s meridians and veins were all broken, sitting on the city’s head, his head looking north, dead but not down.
Attachment 2: After this battle, no one in the world dares to say that Jian Jiuhuang is far inferior to Deng Tai’a, the god of swords. Cao Guanzi praised Jian Jiu’s style, and said that there was no more brilliant sword moves in the world.
Attachment 3: The name of Jian Jiuhuang is Six Thousand Li, which was mentioned by Jian Jiuhuang himself.
P.S. 4: Jian Jiuhuang seemed to have last words before his death, only Wang Xianzhi heard them.”
Xu Fengyen had been looking down at the letter, just looking at the side face, there was no difference, silent for half a second, finally whispered, “Sweet potato, cook some yellow wine.”
This is not the time to cook yellow wine, the crabs and perches in the lake are still small, so the big maid softly said, “Your Highness, drink it at this moment?”
Xu Fengnian nodded and said, “I want to drink it.”
Sweet potato heart Linglong, also do not ask questions, go to wutong court no wonder no treasures not hidden cellar carry a pot of Hui Ji mountain old yellow wine, to his highness cooked a pot, served to sit on the second floor of wutong court window bamboo couch small sandalwood table.
Xu Fengyen asked for two wine glasses, waved his hand, the sweet potato green ants within the maids are invited to go, the entire second floor full of valuable antiques and paintings will be more and more clean, Xu Fengyen poured two cups of yellow wine, sitting quietly for a day, never hung on the face of the joy and mourning, near dusk, glimpsed the handle of the cold for many hours was hanging on the wall as a beautiful decoration of the embroidered winter knife.
Xu Fengyen got off the bamboo couch, took off the name Wenqi knife more beautiful embroidered winter, drew out the sheath, cold air into the skin.
That time I don’t know how to touch the old Huang’s sword box, the same day on the half-dead, enough to see the box of the sword qi condensation, embroidered winter and those swords, are broken people’s skulls of the good things, and the Liangzhou playboys waist wear loaded with gold and jade playthings can not be the same language may be into the House of the housekeepers a little bit late servants, can not imagine that this whole day only know pleasure-seeking His Royal Highness, the first time to touch the sword very early, only six years old.
Xu Fengyen carried the knife downstairs, saw a group of maids gathered in the courtyard, face sad, Xu Fengyen laughed: ”All busy themselves to go, do look good. Otherwise, when Grand Master Shen sees them, he will mutter something about our Wutong Court being unruly.”
Xu Fengyen quickly walked into the bedroom, moved out the cardinal box from the bottom of the bed, and found out the stack of silk with charcoal drawing sword posture, which was the same as the cardinal box, and all became relics.
Without letting anyone disturb him, Xu Fengyen gazed at it for the rest of the night. Putting the simple sword manual back into the box, Xu Fengnian looked up to see his father Xu Snapdragon sitting beside him at some point.
Xu Snap asked, “Can you read it?”
Xu Fengnian shook his head, “I don’t understand, Old Huang’s drawing is too poor, my comprehension is even worse.”
Xu Snapdragon smiled, “You want to learn the sword?”
Xu Fengnian nodded, “Learn.”
Knowing his son as his father, Xu Snap asked, “After learning the sword, go to Wudi City to retrieve the six swords from the sword box?”
Xu Fenian calmly said, “There is no reason to leave it there for people to laugh at old Huang.”
Xu Snap said blandly, “Then can you get it back before you’re fifty?”
Xu Fengnian sighed, “Heaven knows.”
Xu Snapdragon did not offer any consolation, but just casually got up and left, leaving behind a salty remark, “Think clearly before you talk to father.”
Xu Fengnian looked at his father’s back and asked, “What did Old Huang say in the end.”
Xu Snap stopped, didn’t turn around, and said, “Wait until you’ve learned.”
In fact, it did not matter what Old Huang said.
The people were gone.
Six thousand miles of wind and clouds, the city’s head erected a sword box.
But more than a dozen jars of yellow wine, all still remain ah.
