Chapter 430 Xiao Er on the wine
There is a small town, probably escaped the remote edge, early years escaped that spring and autumn smoke, this time even escaped this Central Plains war, from beginning to end, did not hear that kind of novels in the iron cavalry formation, Mr. storyteller’s mouth of the kind of iron armor clanging.
With the dust settling on the other side of Tai’an City, the chaotic atmosphere of the world suddenly went, the more magnificent weather of the world suddenly came.
For this town, the most intuitive and superficial scene, is to go to the brotherhood building to drink and listen to more and more guests, and ultimately overcrowded, some of the guests who happen to be shy, they will use the slope of the donkey with the restaurant manager mate that they do not care about the location of the threshold of the drink is, anyway, does not delay listening to the Mr. storytelling.
The signboard of the restaurant is known for hundreds of miles around, not any rare wine, nor any woman who sells wine to attract people, but the old storyteller in the restaurant, sitting alone in the center of the lobby, with wine tables on all sides.
The old man sat on a small stool, surrounded by a small table, a piece of wood on the table, resting on two or three pots of wine, a large white bowl, a dish of peanuts, and that’s it.
This day after noon, until the table guests are removed dishes dishes, replaced by the size of the various colors of the wine pots and wine altar wine bowl, the storyteller from the back of the hall slowly out of the old man away from the table is still more than twenty paces away, simply is not yet open, has attracted the whole building up and down the two floors of the restaurant ringing with the sound of applause.
The old man raised his hands clenched fists, to the four directions, the loud applause in the restaurant, but also one after another, a lively and boisterous.
The cheap storyteller Mr. big sleeve swing, the high man full of sitting on that small stool, some pretend to look like the right lapel and sit down, only then reached out and grabbed that piece of wood, heavy knock on the desktop, and said aloud: “Last time at the end, said the second Liangmang war is imminent, the eighteen great masters of the Central Plains to come together!”
The old man is again a take and a put, the shocking wood once again violently knocked on the table, the old man in the middle of the air in a deep voice: “A thousand years of rise and fall, military affairs, the most costly to think about! The most costly to think!”
At this time, a listener ripped open his voice and asked with a loud laugh: “Last time, the last you this old man, sold a secret, said that the jianghu people Bianjing Jushi Zhang Feilong, Zhang warrior, to our king of Beiliang to teach how to deal with the fairy warrior women’s learning, the king of Beiliang in the end how to say ah? We’re all waiting! Folks, don’t you think so?”
Up and down the restaurant, dozens of tables of guests, all roared in agreement. Many of the swords and knives on the table, began to applaud, and many of the young ranger children even whistled vigorously.
Mr. Storyteller was obviously familiar with these scenes, and he poured himself a bowl of wine with an old-fashioned spirit, and let out a rip, enjoying himself with great gusto. In fact, at the end of each storytelling, the matter of shaking the baggage is this restaurant owner hand to hand to teach the old man the bottom of the box of mastery, to whet the listener’s appetite, in order to have repeat customers.
The old man leisurely put down the bowl of wine, laughed: “If you do not mention, the old man really forget this one, no hurry, no hurry, let the old man slowly said! This person with people to deal with ah, is a learning experience, if the fledgling jianghu young warrior acquaintance of those high on the beautiful fairy, it is even more university question. The world fairy warrior is divided into two kinds of women, one is the big snow ping Hui mountain purple clothes, gold wrong knife Zhuangzhu Tong Shanquan stream, they are ultimately a phoenix feather, a handful of, I’m afraid that any you go all over the north and south of the river, broke all over the rivers and lakes, but also can not be encountered, the old man did not mention how to deal with, and a kind of it, well, the king of Beilang is exactly the same way, the king of Beilang is the same way, the king of Beilang is the same way.
When the king of Beiliang is exactly this way to teach Zhang Feilong Zhang warrior, the king of Beiliang his old-timer is this way to say, all of you can put up your ears and listen carefully! This kind of golden jade good words, after this village will not have that store …….”
Well, look at the old man side to take the bowl of wine broken posture, familiar can not be familiar, we have to pay again.
As a matter of fact, there are two beautiful look of the restaurant selling wine little girl, has been in the gap between the tables came, but not asking for money, but with a wooden board, resting on a dozen jugs of expensive good wine, and do not ask for people to buy, who love to drink will be on their own to take it.
At the beginning of the restaurant to play this trick, no one is willing to take the trick, just can not bear the old storyteller no one to take the wine on the dead face to spend not tell the story ah!
Now the restaurant guests have long been strange, but also lazy to care about that a little bit of silver, out of pocket, what else, anyway, to come here to the masters of the money is not bad, not to mention that today you take the wine, tomorrow he broke the bill, the day after tomorrow and then replaced by someone swollen face, sell wine buy wine, in the end, are quite satisfied.
But to say that the boss of this restaurant is really enough lack of virtue, this kind of soft knife to cut the meat of the loss of tactics also want to come out!
Good in the restaurant is also smart enough to pinpoint people’s hearts very accurate, this kind of thing, I know to pay attention to a thing is not three, usually just the beginning of the end of a time to a time, but did not cause people to get tired of it, over time, has become a restaurant unwritten rules, and even become one of the characteristics of this place.
The two little lady carrying more than twenty small jugs of wine, quickly to the guests to take away to take all.
Mr. Storyteller then continued, “The Northwest Prince told our Warrior Zhang that it’s actually quite fun to fight with those pretentious fake heroines and pseudo-fairies. According to what the feudal lord said, first of all, remember to remember, you must not surrender before the battle, feel inferior, feel that those fairies and warriors are rightfully superior! You have to tell yourself, in front of those women again beautiful and touching, again lonely and cold, they are also to eat and drink, also to squat the pit! Eating onions, garlic, fish and meat, ah, they also have to let out stinky farts!”
First, the audience was stunned.
Then there was a deafening applause.
This statement, indeed let people only feel enlightened ah.
The second floor, the fence lying on a man with a smile on his face, standing on tiptoe on the left hand side of a little girl, squatting on the right hand side of a little boy with a tiger’s head and brain, the two children’s waists are suspended in a small wooden sword. This man is this building of liquor shopkeeper, he used to be the shopkeeper here, when not a few years mate, soon from the old shopkeeper there to the whole building of liquor shop to disk over, this business is doing red-hot, flourishing, it is said to have gone to the state of the city over there to buy a mansion pension of the former shopkeeper, the beginning of the spring of this year only to get their hands on last year’s dividends, there are small three hundred two silver! This new boss, these two years is the county town of the town’s big red man, powerful, and many of the scholarly masters have a good relationship very good, otherwise the magistrate and the chief of such a great parental officials, can every now and then come here to drink? How can any other restaurant invite these two bodhisattvas? They can’t even beg for money!
A beautiful and gentle woman gently came to the man’s side, holding her daughter’s tender hand, waiting for the man to turn his head to look at himself with a smile, she glared at him, then couldn’t help but laugh herself, slightly complaining: “The children are listening!”
The man scratched his head, “It’s not a bad thing, just listen, Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan can’t understand it either.”
The little boy squatting at the man’s feet raised his head and said, “Dad, what is there to understand about squatting in a latrine?”
The little boy gave his mother a glare, made a face, quickly retracted his brain, and continued to obediently watch the bustle of the first floor.
This natural eloquence, certainly with his father.
The woman lowered her voice and asked with a smile: ”Can this be the Northwest Prince’s own words? Wouldn’t it be that you just made it up and let Old Mr. Liu cheat people?”
The man laughed and said, “Whether or not the king of the Northwest has said it, how would I know as a commoner. But that brother of mine who is a jianghu master really said so back then.”
The woman said helplessly, “I’ve heard you talk about it for so many years, but I haven’t seen him come to us as a guest.”
The man’s eyes were clear as he said, “He will come! He is no longer good, will also remember me as a brother. Mixed even worse …… should come to my place, not bad for him to eat and drink and sleep!”
The man was suddenly a little apprehensive, whispered, “Daughter-in-law, if there is really such a day, at that time you can not dislike my brother, my life is this one thing ……”
The woman was a little angry, “What are you talking about! Am I that kind of person?!”
The man smiled brightly and narrowed his eyes with a smile, “I knew it! Of all the women under the sky, my daughter-in-law is the best!”
She didn’t have the good sense to say, “The children are all here, and there’s no fatherly manner.”
The little man at the man’s feet sighed, shook his head, and lamented after his father’s catchphrase, “It’s melancholy at the moment!”
The man laughed out loud, and the woman reached out and gently twisted his arm, “See, it’s all from you as a father.”
The little girl timidly said, “Father, since Grandpa Liu drunkenly said that once, Tuan Tuan recently caught people asking ‘crotch’ where is it?”
This time, the woman’s hand wringing the flesh was much stronger.
The man bared his teeth, turned around and bent over to reward his son with a chestnut, “It’s all because you learned from your Uncle Xiaonian! You don’t know how to learn from your father!”
The little boy held his head, tilted his head up, and complained, “Father, when will Uncle Xiaonian come, when will he bring my daughter-in-law, I’ve missed her so many times!”
The woman couldn’t help but feel a little angry, but she couldn’t get angry.
His own man swore that he and the good brother in the jianghu to break into the good brother, that year very early fixed the doll marriage, no matter who mixes better and worse in the future, this marriage can not run away. She did not take it too seriously, after all, know his own man although to whom all peace and harmony, in fact, proud of it, not anyone can let him so long has been chanting, even with the county magistrate Lord Lord sitting at a table drinking, no matter how to drink when how to see each other as if it were, how to water, back to the man simply did not take those who wear the official hat is not taken seriously, but there are a few in the county government barracks When the middle-aged man, his own man drinking with them, more genuine and sincere many. So she is a little worried, his own man so heartfelt brother, that she and the two children only know called “Xiaonian” man, certainly not simple, and the two were separated for so many years, even if one day can get together again, that person can still be like when the two were the most downtrodden, and his own man so cherish that section of the friendship of brothers! The man will still cherish the brotherhood as he did when they were at their lowest ebb. If that person mixed very well, or even mixed out of the big success and fame, can still continue to her man as a brother? If not, how sad would her man be? So she both hope that the person to come to find their own men drink, brother and brother not drunk not return, but at the same time is very afraid that the person really came here, but only to bring them Mr. Liu told the book the so-called things are not the same.
After the man heard his son’s childish complaints, he touched the child’s head and grinned, “Son ah, father guarantees you that your future daughter-in-law, is this!”
The man stuck out his thumb fiercely.
The little boy would believe it and muttered in a small voice, “Just don’t be like the little apricot on the next street, or else I’ll just run away from home with my wooden sword and venture out into the world on my own when the time comes.”
That little apricot that liked to pester himself the most ah, it was not small, his arm could be as thick as his leg!
The man laughed, “Brat, still running away from home! You give up your parents?”
The little boy said with a surprised face, “I went to the river outside the town at noon to break out of the river, and then I came home for dinner at night ah!”
His sister poked her head out, her fingers against her cheek and made a face at her brother.
The man and his daughter-in-law looked at each other and smiled.
She suddenly laughed and asked, “How come we don’t sell that Green Ant Wine in our restaurant anymore, you’re such a good businessman, but you also fight with silver?”
The man shook his head and said, “It’s not for sale anymore, I’m afraid that one won’t be able to resist his craving and drink it himself. I’ll wait for Xiaonian’s next visit and bring me green ant wine to drink!”
The woman laughed, “Good good good, I’ll go over to the cookhouse first to get busy, Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan you help keep an eye on it.”
The man nodded his head and softly said, “Tough daughter-in-law, I’ll be lazy today.”
She smiled and left.
She is a little heartbroken, she has what hard work, this building inside and outside of the restaurant counts her man the most hard work, all year round, before when the restaurant fellows are tired, now when the boss of the cabinet has not a moment to be idle, before it is in order to marry her, now it is for her and the two children. A lot of other women in the town, they hate their lazy man more labor, not so idle all day blind wandering. But when it comes to her, she hates that her man can really rest for a day, and can think of nothing and do nothing. But every time he nodded and said yes, but every day still get up early in the morning, every day, everyone smiles, everything is not save heart not save effort.
Married to this man, she felt she could not marry better in her life.
The storyteller downstairs, still did not enter the main topic, said that the stirring Northwest Guanwai Liangmang war, but has been talking about the Northwest feudal king in his still son of His Highness a wonderful review, said that when the playboy, but also technical work, but also divided into three, six, nine, etc., the most end of the stream, will only bring evil slaves and evil dogs bullying men and women, a little higher, is the freshly clothed, wearing a sword waisted jade fan in hand, look at the pretty girl, and the most important is that he is not a man of the world, but he is a man of the world, and he is not a woman of the world. The most important thing is that they are not the same as the others, so they are not the same as the others. Then the third class of playboys, you have to begin to memorize some of the poetry and songs of the wind and snow, the least able in front of the woman, the rigid set of poetry, will not move to say to the people what my old man when what official my grandfather under the command of what soldiers and horses, shameful. And the second class of the anointed son, it is more rare, not only to export logic, but also really will be some jianghu style, as well as to be extremely familiar with the heroes to save the beauty, even if the beauty did not fall, but also to make trouble! Don’t be reluctant to smash the silver to hire people to act, remember to retreat from the enemy at the time, those ruffians fly out of the gesture, absolutely can’t be the same, must be upside down to fly out, fly out horizontally, fly out sideways, all have to have! As for the world’s first-class dude, huh, that is like a dragon not to see the end of the jianghu master, the same belongs to the world out of the flow of characters, those heroines meet this kind of person, that is accumulated seven lifetimes of virtues, fell eight generations of bad luck! From then on, they were trapped in a deep and uncontrollable, to the death to beat them, can not be driven away.
Mr. Storyteller spit spattered said here, actually was infected by himself, that the spirit of the wind, as if he is this kind of dude in the line of the master, a big mouthful of wine, stretching out a finger, slurping: “For example, to reach this realm of the dude, only to the women to see the money, but definitely not to them to spend money! Let them see that the gold mountain silver mountain, but not give her to spend a copper coin, hey, not to mention the women have to be willing to pay back money.”
Countless people in the restaurant were swaying.
Someone suddenly said loudly, “Is there really such a stupid and foolish female warrior fairy in the world? A woman who loses money and still pays back the money? I’m the first one who doesn’t believe it!”
Mr. Storyteller raised his eyebrows and glanced away with slanted eyes, “I won’t talk about other people, just say that ‘ten years to cultivate Song Yushu, a hundred years to cultivate Xu Fengyin’, are you convinced or not? Not to mention that the Song family jade tree that entered the capital’s Ministry of Rites Yamen as a great official, just say the latter, a woman meets it, can still be haughty?!”
The man was instantly deflated and dumbfounded, wanting to retort but having no way to do so. After all, he is a regular customer of the restaurant, heard more about the legend of the Northwest Vassal King, admiration and envy are, of course, the latter is more, the old man of the restaurant a lot of storytelling, this person is often very easy to put themselves into it, naturally not willing to in a sense
The second floor, the restaurant owner of the
On the second floor, the owner of the restaurant squatted down, a hold over a child, whispered and laughed: “Tuan Tuan, Yuan Yuan, father to tell you the truth ah, in the past, when my father traveled the countryside, there was a woman who sincerely shouted at your father, shouted at your father a ‘son of the gentleman’. Although she was not a famous fairy, she was much more powerful than all the fairies in the jianghu, so only your Uncle Xiaonian was worthy of her. A good girl like that, well, I think she’s only slightly worse than your mother. Tuan Tuan, if you still want to be a warrior when you grow up, if you have the ability to do so, you can find that kind of girl for father to come to our family as a daughter-in-law.”
The little boy frowned and said in a serious manner, “Father, I already have an unmarried daughter-in-law, and I don’t like to womanize! Mother also said that a good man should be devoted to a girl!”
The man lowered his voice, “This is the truth, of course your mother is not wrong, but the good girls under the sky generally love heroes and good men, think about it, she likes you, but you don’t like her, how sad the girl must be, right?”
The child fell into deep thought, between the unmarried little daughter-in-law and the unseen good girl, the heavenly man is at war.
The little girl gasped, “Father! I’m going to tell Mother to go and tell her that you let Tuan Tuan like so many girls!”
The little boy rolled his eyes.
The man instantly blushed, coughed a few times, and said to his son in a serious tone, “Son, when you grow up, you must listen to your mother, and concentrate on being good to only one girl! Just like father, know it? If you dare to disobey, father will spank your ass, and spank your ass until it blossoms! Your mother won’t be able to stop you!”
The little boy sighed heavily, well, no way, like their own good girl has not yet seen the face, it’s gone.
He is not afraid of his own father, but gentle mother every time the face of the lesson, he is very afraid of very afraid.
The storyteller downstairs had taken a sip of wine and said with a smile, “In the final analysis, to punch a heroine and kick a fairy, it’s simple, as long as you guys, ah, can look half as handsome as that Northwest Clan King, that’s all you need!”
There was a hush in the restaurant.
The old man slammed the shocking wood, frightening the unawares drinkers.
“The old man was the first to say that the matter of the rise and fall of a thousand autumns is the most taxing to contemplate! I such as the people of the city, the small people, neither the emperor and generals, nor the yellow and purple ministers, do not think then do not think about it. But after all, some unfortunate people ah, but had to give up their lives and forget about death, blocked there, a step back can not!”
“They are also unwilling to retreat!”
The hall was silent.
Mr. Storyteller told the story.
Said that the border fortress soldiers even clouds Tun, battlefield white bones entangled grass roots.
He said that the winds of the Jianhe River are fast and snowy, and that the horses’ hooves are frozen at the sandy mouth.
Said that the southern frontier dragon palace guest secretary ji six an death, said that the husband is not no tears, not sprinkled between the parting.
Said that the Wudang big real Yu Xingrui generous battle death, body in the North Mang arrow twelve branches.
Said that the North Mang attacked the city day and night, outside the city prairie army densely packed like locust swarms, ants on the wall attached to the attack on the city is shocking, refused to the north of the city inside and outside of the fire is bright, the death of the battle is unending.
Speaking of the refusal of the northern city that attack and defense war, from xiangfu three years in early fall, has continued to xiangfu four years of summer.
The old man’s tone has never seemed how impassioned, did not deliberately render that tragic and tragic, only as an older neighbor in the neighborhood in the story is not too light and not too heavy parents.
The storyteller paused, took a sip of wine, put down the bowl, as if to ask the crowd, but also as if to ask themselves: “We people, ah, do not know the heights of the temple, do not know the body of the jianghu, do not know the life and death of the battlefield, but in the end, still know that people’s hearts are warm and cold, right?”
The old man suddenly raised his voice, “Do not think! I’ll never forget it!”
The audience was shocked and shaken.
Then the old man said that the Northern Liang iron cavalry A world, Liang blade to the point, the momentum of the wind and thunder, invincible, the world invincible.
Said that the refusal of the North City, the second attack and defense war, the North Mang barbarians jumped over the wall, and even half of the South China’s western capital was almost given to the flow of the state’s iron horsemen, is still trying to break through that the first city of the Northwest Frontier.
Said that the white monks of the two Zen temples, at that time, Li Dangxin, with a snow white robe, stood alone outside the refusal of the northern city. Poor monks from the south to the north, become a Buddha or not, and put down. Buddha Buddha Buddha Buddha, there will be a future and a future, to study this life how to get? The poor monk Li Dangxin, the original has come over as see RuLai.
Said that this campaign has not yet ended, the Northern Liang Kou Jianghuai, Xie Xijian, Cao Wei, Yu Luan knife and the former Northern Mang winter press King Jing Chong, five world famous generals will join forces to break the Northern Mang South Dynasty’s hub of the Western Capital.
Said that the artichoke state general Yang Huchen, river state general Cai Bo and artichoke state vice general Han Fang three people, three cavalry resolutely together, and you state only remaining cavalry together by the river state border north into the grassland, and flow state iron horsemen left and right pincer attack, will be that from refusing to the north of the city retreating from the North Mang barbaric army, to a beautiful to the extreme in a jar to catch a turtle.
Said that after the battle, heavy mound willow bud Poria three military towns, all have been broken people died in battle. Said that the partridge Zhou Kang three times personally on the battlefield, and ultimately died in the sand, vice marshal Li Yanchao took over the tiger’s talisman, the right cavalry ultimately left less than eight thousand riders only. The tens of thousands of Northern Liang border troops in Huaiyang Pass, the battle to the end, actually less than 2,000 people, inside and outside the city are all corpses. After winter, the blood freezes, and from a distance, Huaiyang Pass looks like a red pass. The king of northern Liang personally led 10,000 big snow dragon cavalry, directly bypassed the routed North Mang’s main army, long-distance running, fire speed to aid Huaiyang Pass, only to see that the northern Liang capital guard Chu Lushan sitting on the city wall of the bones of the horse path above, holding the cool knife on the ground.
Mr. Storyteller stopped his words, lowered his head and slowly drank a mouthful of spirits, closed his eyes, and was slightly drunk, “The mountain is high and the moon is small, and the water is falling.”
On the street of the restaurant, in the hot sun, there is a yellow dog lying on the ground, it droops its head and spits out its tongue.
The Peaceful Dog.
The old man in the building held that piece of shocking wood high, just as the people are ready to hear that slap sound, unexpectedly the old man just gently put down, laughed and said: “Ancient history who do not see, now see the success and fame over the ancients. This side of heaven and earth, the group of males, smoke, everywhere the war is in full swing, my generation of people coincided with the chaotic times, how unfortunate! My generation of people can hear that the border victory, and even reported to me in the Central Plains, and how fortunate? How many times can we laugh in our lives? We must get drunk when we meet each other!”
The old man poured a bowl full of wine, lifted up after the loud voice: “all the watchers and listeners, can I share a big bowl with the old man? Drink this bowl of peace wine!”
Within the first floor, countless voices laughed loudly and boldly sounded words, “and drink together!” “Drink it, I’m afraid of you old man!”
The old man laughed, vigorously wiped the corners of his mouth, heavily slapped down the wine bowl, “said the sand field, allow me to repeat the old tune, back to say that the sand field jianghu …… women!”
“There is a world’s first but do not know the name of the assassin girl, hand slayed the Northern Mang Baobao state holding festival order!”
“Our martial arts alliance, Daxueping Huishan Ziyi almost, just a little bit, will be in the millions of troops in the bushes to take the North Mang Prince’s head!”
“There is a blind female zither player, the third person in the world!”
“That Deer Mountain Sect Master, white-clothed Luoyang, in the second defense of the Rejected North City, at the last minute, she alone defended the main east wall!”
“A certain vermillion-robed woman, dashing through the North Mang army like no one’s business!”
“The female sword attendant of the Wu Family Sword Mound, carrying a famous sword, King Su, was the first to fight time and time again, and was laughed at by the King of Bei Liang as when she was the female lieutenant of my White Horse in Liangzhou!”
The old man laughed cheerfully and asked loudly, “Who says that my Central Plains women, only hide in the boudoir to paint rouge? Who says that a woman’s life is inferior to grass?”
Women in the restaurant is not a lot, scattered how there are twenty or thirty people, heard here, actually is more than the men are also bold, almost everyone raised their cups and bowls to drink, and there are even a few extraordinary women, directly pick up the jug of wine on the drink!
The hall was full of applause.
Sprawled on the second floor of the restaurant shopkeeper also could not help but clap his hands and shouted, “Today’s female warriors drink, all without charging money!”
In this way, it was even more loudly applauded.
There is a burly man tilted his head up to look at the second floor, pinching his throat and asked in a sharp voice: “Shopkeeper’s, then I’ll be the first to return to the pussy today, in or out?”
The shopkeeper froze, and laughed quickly, “Just for your shameless ability, like my brother! Let go and drink, don’t charge you silver, I’ll take it as a treat!”
He hurriedly exclaimed, “Other people won’t be able to make it! It’s not easy for me to drag my family along!”
His son, who was squatting beside the man, got up violently, pressed the hilt of his wooden sword with one hand, and hurriedly exclaimed, “Right! My father always said that the money I need to travel around the world in the future will all be in the wine money! Can’t have everyone drinking for nothing!”
Laughter continued.
Mr. Storyteller looked for an opportunity to give the shopkeeper a chance to round up, and immediately changed the topic, slapped the shocking wood, and deliberately asked, “Has anyone heard of a saying? Heaven does not give birth to you Li Chun Gang, the sword path for ages is like a long night!”
Inside the restaurant was really re-attracted to the line of sight, in fact, this sentence in the jianghu does have rumors, but the circulation is not too wide, after all, the new jianghu, is xiangfu fourteen kui me only three kui xuan yuan qingfeng leading that brand new jianghu, ten clans or, four sides of the saints of the top ten dispersed people, plus every year there is an endless stream of fairies and males, and before the years have been in war, for the spring and autumn of the old god of the sword for the phrase Famous words, especially the drinkers near this town, is really a little rusty, if not for this restaurant storyteller Mr. many times mentioned in passing, I’m afraid that no one has long known the inside story, after all, Li Chun Gang Wang Xiujiu within the four great masters of the Spring and Autumn period, separated by several generations of that generation of the old geezer, really very distant.
Mr. Storyteller laughed and asked, “This old fairy of the sword road once lent a sword for ten thousand miles to the new sword god Deng Tai’a, then I have to resist asking, if the sky does not give birth to you Deng Tai’a! What should we do on this earth?”
This question was a bit high, a bit far, and all made people a bit confused.
In fact, about this peach blossom sword god in the refusal of the north city outside the battlefield, in the end did what shocking initiative, the Central Plains Jianghu side has not heard much, as if that trip to the front of no one after the next no one outside the battle, as a martial arts evaluation of one of the four great masters Deng Tai’a, the performance of the most is the most unknown.
Just when everyone was appetizing, the old man smiled and slowly picked up the shock wood, just not waiting for the old man to shoot the case, someone laughed and scolded: “the dog days of the old man Liu have intentionally pit people is not? Wait a moment! Don’t fucking come what ‘want to know how, and listen to the next decomposition’! I want to hear the answer today, as long as you are willing to say, I Guo Chunying will buy your restaurant’s most expensive wine, ten altars!”
“Magnificent!”
“A true hero!”
“I’ll have a lot of grandchildren. I’ll do it.”
“If we were a woman, we’d have warmed the bed for Mr. Guo long ago!”
The tall Guo Chunying stood in place, arms around his chest, looking bold and heroic, but in fact, he was secretly happy in his heart, pondering whether only ten altars is not shouting too little?
He is the local famous ranger children, indeed sword walk through the rivers and lakes, seen a good number of warrior fairy, of course, are seen from afar only, belonging to him at a glance to recognize them, they stared wide-eyed also do not know him Guo Chunying.
Guo Chunying most worth conceited one thing, that is, early four or five years, has been to the Jianzhou Hui Mountain snow Ping, back after the people will say that the lack of moon building is how high into the clouds, the Hui Mountain purple is how the night to watch the snow enlightenment longevity, as if he was squatting in the women’s alliance behind, the truth is that Guo Chunying Hui Mountain is to have been, but the vast majority of the people of the rivers and lakes as the same thing, are stopping in the bullocks below the hillock. The world’s famous lack of moon building, but is really able to far view and get.
Just at this time, the restaurant shopkeeper said loudly: “Fifteen altar, Guo hero, there is no such heroic ah!”
Guo Chunying managed to suppress the corners of his mouth and deliberately sneered, “What’s fifteen altars? Twenty altars! Pick any twenty tables of customers in your restaurant and give each table one altar!”
A shopkeeper who was originally squatting on the ladder immediately said in a loud voice: “Let’s do it! Twenty jars of fine Jiangnan flower carvings!”
Liu old man suddenly some worry, when the crotch are very melancholy ah, where he knows no peach blossom sword god Deng Tai’a earth will be how, in the old man’s view, is not the way to be how to be how to be how to be? The old man’s opinion, it is still not the way to do so, but the way to do so! His original intention is to casually throw a chewy baggage, until the drinkers disperse, you can discuss with the shopkeeper’s answer, to know that his daily storytelling content, can be beforehand the restaurant shopkeeper to give a detailed pulse, he is only in the details of the carving embellishment only. Just as the aged storyteller secretly looked to the second floor, hoping that the shopkeeper could help him out of the pit at the critical moment, outside the restaurant on the green stone street, there came a burst of rapid as a summer rainstorm of crisp hoofbeats.
It sounded like the horses had stopped outside the tavern?
This horse, in their place of beautiful scenery but also see short, that can be absolutely rare, the town of a hundred miles, I’m afraid that only the half-deserted small stagecoach station to see, and that three or two horses also look old, poor and dry and thin. Outside of the town even the county office are not, only some years ago the most tense war, I heard that the neighbors of the large county town outside a cavalry through, ten riders only, is very back to know that is in the past years under the banner of Yan Zhi Wang scouts scouting cavalry, to see the ten riders of the guy, it is said to speak with people, the voice are a few minutes to be big, the waist is straight than the mountains of bamboo is also straight. Soon there is a shopkeeper jogging out of the restaurant, suddenly wide-eyed, full of incredulity, there really is that kind of horseback riding luxury guests to drink in our restaurant?
The shopkeeper counted, just one hand, a total of five riders.
After those five people rolled over and landed on their horses, they didn’t have the intention to tie up their horses, and came straight to the front door of their restaurant.
Then the shopkeeper gulped and couldn’t speak.
Didn’t dare to say.
Because that set of guests, each and every one of them is a god-like character ah.
One person in the center, just a green shirt, had a beautiful girl riding on his neck.
He smiled brightly, looked up at the “brotherhood building” of the gold plaque, said to himself: “This word …… can be really ugly, small groundnut, than your father is far worse, right?”
The little girl rested her pointed chin on the man’s head and slowly said, “Brother! Bro! Lou! Alas, the name of this restaurant is not nice.”
The man laughed, “It sounds good! That’s why the words are written in such a ghostly manner, I’ll put up with it!”
To the left of the man, there is a white woman …… man with double swords on her waist? In short, male and female are indistinguishable and handsome.
To the right of the man, is a woman carrying a purple long box. The shopkeeper did not have much worldly experience, just feel that although he has not seen the female warrior fairy in the jianghu, but in front of these two, certainly more than all the jianghu fairy female warrior together, but also good-looking!
Behind the man, followed by a slightly cold face of the green woman, finally did not look so beautiful to scare, but this is also relative.
The restaurant fellow summoned up his guts and asked in a trembling voice, “Several guests, are these coming to our Brotherhood House to drink?”
The man smiled and asked, “Doesn’t it sell alcohol and can only eat and drink tea?”
The restaurant fellow awkwardly said, “No, I won’t.”
The man waved his hand and laughed, “Don’t worry about us, little brother, you can go about your business.”
The restaurant fellow was relieved and lost, no longer caring about anything, he lowered his head and trotted back to the restaurant.
After this line of people crossed the threshold of the restaurant, the lobby of the restaurant soon fell silent.
The leader of the men in green shirts looked around, then raised his head and looked at the dumbfounded restaurant shopkeeper, the corners of his mouth curled up as he shouted, “Shopkeeper surnamed Wen!”
The appearance of this line of people was in itself the biggest strange light, so when this handsome and flamboyant man shouted something slightly odd, no one counted on it.
Not only the thirty wine table guests on the first floor lobby, even the ten or so wine table guests on the second floor have all risen and stood at the railing to look down on this set of …… noble guests that the blind can also see.
Originally has been lazily lying on the fence of the restaurant boss, do not know when has straightened his waist, for some reason the eyes are a little red, after hearing the shout of the man at the gate downstairs, his voice hoarse: “In.”
The man beside the pair of children, all tilted their heads, have wondered why their father would be so “inhospitable”.
The man laughed again and asked, “Is there any wine?”
The shopkeeper on the second floor took a deep breath, “Yes!”
The man then asked, “Is there any good meat?”
On the second floor, the crippled man, who had left the jianghu for a long time, ripped out his voice and replied, “Yes!”
The man paused briefly and asked, “Are there any wooden swords?”
The man who had once dog-paddled his way through the jianghu, and who had once earned the great name of Wen Bu Sheng in the capital, grinned and said, “No!”
The man downstairs oh, high voice: “Then there is no …… brother?!”
Long since not some wooden sword ranger child of the restaurant owner, this down and out left that jianghu, and then married and had children in his hometown, Wen Hua, lifted up the arm that had not yet been broken, blocked it in front of his eyes, as if he didn’t want all the guests to see what he looked like, and laughed in a voice with a repressed cry, “There are still. There always is!”
The little girl cried out in concern, “Dad?”
The man wiped haphazardly, after putting down his arm, laughed happily and said, “It’s all right, it’s all right, father is happy …… that your Uncle Xiaonian, came to our home …… go go go, go downstairs with father! ”
He took his daughter’s hand, his son gently tugged on his other sleeve, and the three of them quickly walked downstairs together.
In front of the restaurant, was nicknamed by the man as a small groundnut little girl, to help her father gently reached out to wipe off his face “liquor”, sighed: “Dad, really not I say you ah, although you said this thing of the great man, not that tears, must be called ‘liquor’ only right, but you said this thing of the great man, not that tears, have to call ‘liquor’. ‘ is right, but you in front of so many people, but also too humiliating, right?”
The man was silent, just looking over at the guy limping towards them with his two kids.
Although he had known it for a while, when he actually saw the scene, he lowered his head and let out a soft breath.
When the guy came closer, he raised his head and asked with a smile, ”Surname Wen, limping? What’s wrong with it? Molesting a good family on the street, give a pick up?”
“Small matter, none of it is a matter!”
“Tsk, you do not say that there are brothers? I don’t care about you, I think that guy is really not good.”
“But my brother, who was the number one in the world, used my sword moves, and beat Topaz Bodhisattva’s head! Do you have such a brother? Surname Xu, can you find me one in the whole world? You’re lucky if you can find half of them!”
“This is really can’t find it …… see I’m not as lucky as you, my brother is not as good as your brother.”
“Yo, surnamed Xu, cheek with the year no different ah.”
“But you are not the same.”
After surnamed Xu said this sentence, Wen Hua wanted to speak again and again, and finally just rolled his eyes, the two children hiding behind themselves have gently tugged in front of the body, and successively patted the two little head, “Son, called Wen Liang, daughter, called Wen Xiu, the nickname Tuan Tuan Yuanyuan, festive! Tuan Tuan, Yuan Yuan, call out to Uncle Xu, it doesn’t matter if you don’t.”
Both children are obviously a little curious and scared, and really …… don t shout.
It seems like this is a bit awkward ah.
Wen Hua scratched his head, this gives a mess.
Xu Fengnian stretched out his finger and pointed to his daughter who was sitting on his neck, “My daughter, Xu Nianliang, nicknamed Little Groundnut, likes to play like crazy, so she is a little dark in the sun. By the way, Little Groundnut, call out to Warrior Wen.”
The little groundnut with slightly darker skin was actually a lot whiter than the little piece of black charcoal she was, she quickly whispered in her own dad’s ear and asked suspiciously, “Dad, shouldn’t I call out to Uncle Wen? Why do you want me to call out to Warrior Wen?”
Xu Fenian explained in a low voice, “That guy is the best face, shouting Warrior Wen is more useful than shouting Uncle Wen, whether we can eat and drink for free later on depends on you, my daughter.”
All heard in the ears of the Wen Hua muttered cursed a mother, no longer pay attention to this son of a bitch surnamed Xu, raised his head, laughed: “Small groundnut? Look really handsome, certainly with your mother, thanks to all like your mother, if with your father a little bit of half, the future can be really hanging.”
Little Groundnut didn’t listen to her father and shouted with a smile, “Uncle Wen!”
Wen Hua smiled from ear to ear when he heard this, and nodded his head in a hurry, “Good boy! Really good!”
Xu Fengnian helplessly said, “By the way, what about these two beside me …… You just shout sister-in-law, remember, no matter how big or small ah, shout the wrong one, own the scene! I am the biggest daughter-in-law in heaven and earth, will only help to beat you.”
Wen Hua first cursed a fuck off, and then looked at them, said in a serious manner, “Brother-in-laws good ah! My name is Wen Hua, once too many nicknames, and not to mention, now unfortunately is the elder brother surnamed Xu, indeed is some family misfortune, haha, in the future, I this is not talented little brother, it will be a trouble for the two sister-in-law more care, do not look at him, on the count of can’t see, also line, reluctant to pass the day to, since accidentally married, have to marry the chicken with the chicken and marry the dog with the dog. ”
Xu Fengyen just put down the small groundnut, after hearing this nonsense, can not endure ah, gesture to lift his foot to kick people.
Wen Hua heart to the same leg, but apparently this man in that moment, forgetting that he is lame, suddenly to stagger and fall.
Xu Fengyen quickly took two steps out, and after holding his shoulders, he softly said, “Surname Wen, I’m sorry.”
Wen Hua was unimpressed and said in disgust, “Rolling, rolling, this is something I don’t like to hear, still want to drink or not?!”
Not waiting for Xu Fenian to say anything, Wen Hua turned around and shouted, “Today, in my restaurant, all the drinks that everyone drinks are on me!”
But soon Wen Hua was covered by Xu Fengyen’s arm and laughed, “Heroes and heroines, don’t take it seriously, don’t take it seriously! Our surname Wen is talking about wine, under the sky, there is no reason to go to a restaurant and drink without having to pay for silver! There is no such thing!”
When Xu Fengyen let go of his arm, Wen Hua shamelessly said, “I’m drunk, haha, I’m drunk.”
Wen Hua, who had incurred the wrath of the crowd, wisely mended his ways, “But today’s drinks at the restaurant, all 20% off!”
This is more or less the same.
Then Wen Hua gave Mr. Storyteller a wink, signaling him to continue his storytelling, whatever he wants to say.
In the end, Wen Hua led Xu Fengyen and his party up to the second floor, and only after a lot of persuasion did he ask for a table with a table of guests, and the price was that the restaurant gave them ten jars of flower carvings.
A table of four benches, Wen Hua and Xu Fenian face to face each occupies a bench, Wen Hua two children sat on one, Jiang Nai and White Fox face unprecedentedly sat on a bench, the small groundnut squeezed in the center.
The little boy named Wen Liang stole glances at the guy nicknamed Little Groundhog from time to time, only every time he looked, she immediately glared back and didn’t forget to raise her fist once.
Then one deliberately placed the wooden sword at his waist gently on the table, and the latter placed the narrow little wooden knife heavily on the table.
Tit for tat.
The old gentleman in the center of the lobby downstairs began to speak again, and as long as the Peach Blossom Sword God Deng Tai’a was set aside for the moment, the old man became very familiar with the path, and once again, he gradually got into a good mood, and was talking endlessly.
Another two bowls of wine down to the stomach, can really drink some high, some tongue tied, also said some inappropriate words, only in this town away from the right and wrong, no one really think deeply, more no one on the just.
The old man said, “I credit the spring breeze with peach blossoms, and ask the gods to give it or not? I use green ants to buy the Central Plains, dare to ask the emperor to sell or not?”
After that, some people asked where the Northwest King went, they heard that it was killed in battle on the way to the North Grassland, but also said that it was sick and died on the way to the capital, but some people said that it was to leave his armor and go back to his hermitage. The old man stretched out a finger, shook it, sighing with emotion: “Dead, naturally dead. You think ah, time and time again, just with the top Bodhisattva, in the western region, the dragon’s eye child plains and refused to the north city, one after another, not to mention those endless heavenly immortals, and after that, even more to lead the iron horsemen north to attack the grassland, alas, we this young foreign name of the feudal king, accumulated too heavy injuries, it is really hard to return na, pity pity pity! Heaven envies a genius, the words hit the nail on the head!”
On the second floor, Xu Fengyen almost spewed out a mouthful of wine and glared, “Is this also what you taught me?”
Wen Hua said in a bad mood, “Old Master Zhang made it up himself, it sounds quite comforting to me.”
Soon downstairs, he added: “Fame is only taken from the horse, take off the saddle and enter the wine shop for the time being. A good one is to take off the saddle and go into the restaurant shop ah! If that Northern Liang King is still alive, and if he can come to this restaurant, even though I’m a broken scholar, I’m willing to bow to him and bow to him!”
Xu Fengyen smiled and said, “Sounds quite comforting.”
Wen Hua bared his teeth, “I’ll turn around and deduct his wages!”
At this time, Wen Hua’s daughter-in-law jogged up the stairs, after seeing the table, she blushed a little, biting her lip for a while, not knowing how to speak.
Xu Fengyen hurriedly stood up and said in a deep voice: “Xu Fengyen meets your sister-in-law!”
Not only Xu Fenian, even Jiang Nai and White Fox Face both stood up, and Little Groundnut even shouted crisply, “Good day, Auntie! My name is Little Groundnut, oh no, my name is Xu Nianliang, the Nian of Nostalgia, the Liang of Northern Liang!”
She hurriedly gave Xu Fengnian a ten thousand blessings, then smiled at the two sister-in-laws who were able to make all the women in the world feel ashamed of themselves, and finally smiled at the adorable Little Groundnut and softly said, “Little Groundnut, how are you.”
Little Groundnut returned a big bright smile.
Xu Fenian softly said, “Sister-in-law, please sit down.”
She apologized, “I won’t sit down, this is going to the back kitchen side, frying some dishes for you two brothers to drink, my hands are not good, don’t be offended.”
Her hands clenched the corners of her coat, even if this brother of her man, pleasant, too much better than imagined, she was obviously still very nervous, hesitated, looked at the man who turned his head and smiled at himself, but still summoned up the courage to say to Xu Fengnian, “Ever since he met Wen Hua, he has been chanting about you
, he really …… in this life, in addition to his own brother, only you as a brother …… Sorry, I will go downstairs first.”
Without waiting for Wen Hua and Xu Fenian to speak to retain anything, she had already turned around and went downstairs.
Xu Fengyen said, “Surname Wen, you can find such a daughter-in-law, it’s this!”
He stuck out his thumb.
Wen Hua puffed out his chest and said with a face full of rightfulness, “Who am I?”
Xu Fengyen gave a heave and stretched out two fingers, “Unfortunately, I ah, still a bit better than you, now there …… is.”
Not waiting for Xu Fenian to proudly say the words “two”, only to hear Jiang Nai coldly snorted, the white fox face is even more cold and oblique glance.
On the wine table, only a small half pot of wine left behind by the guests, quickly divided between the two, Xu Fengyen coughed, raised his eyebrows and said, “Surname Wen, where’s the wine?!”
White fox child face stood up and sneered, “I’ll go get it, remember to drink it well and slowly later.”
Xu Fengnian was sitting upright as if he was generously going to die, nodding his head vigorously.
Jiang Nai also stood up, “I’ll go to the back kitchen to help.”
Little Groundnut was good and eloquent as she agreed, “I’ll go too!”
Wen Hua rubbed her daughter’s head, “Yuan Yuan, help lead the way.”
The little girl was thin-skinned and managed to muster up the courage to try to call out Uncle Xu or Uncle Xiaonian, but she didn’t expect that after the guy made a face at her, the name calling that was on the edge of her mouth was instantly given away and she hurriedly ran.
The little boy Wen Liang was the last to move, ran out a few steps, turned around and shouted: “Uncle Xiaonian!”
Xu Fengnian nodded and smiled, “I came in a hurry this time, I forgot to bring a meet and greet gift, uncle will definitely make it up next time!”
The little boy nodded vigorously, just turned around and ran out a few steps, then turned his head again and shouted, “Uncle Xiaonian, my father said it’s okay to call you old man!”
Xu Fengnian now really spewed out a mouthful of wine, probably just short of a mouthful of old blood.
It was really a motherfucking mixed feeling ah.
Wen Hua cupped his belly with one hand and laughed.
Drinking the last of the wine in their respective bowls, neither of them opened their mouths again.
The storyteller downstairs had also reached the end of his speech.
“Even though there are a thousand flavors, even though there are ten thousand feelings, with whom to say? Who is there to listen?”
“People in this world, even if they don’t want to part, there will be a parting. Things in the world, even if there are regrets, and rest assured.”
Xu Fengnian nodded and turned his head to ask: “Wen Hua, where did you hire this storyteller, he speaks so well.”
Wen Hua laughed: “Back then this old man was passing by this restaurant by chance, I was still just a store assistant at that time, but listening to the old gentleman talking that acidic, very much like you back then, I persuaded the old shopkeeper and gave it to stay. Just thought of letting him tell a story about your jianghu ……”
Wen Hua raised his bowl and realized that there was no more wine, but also did not put it down, “Listening to it, the more I thought that one day in the future, ah, I must let old Zhang in the time when both of us brothers are there, I ask him to sit down, and then ask you to buy him a glass of wine.”
Xu Fenian also raised his empty bowl and clinked it with Wen Hua, “I should.”
White Fox’er Face carried three jugs of wine, not good, much less expensive, but the taste was strong enough, that was all.
Wen Hua slapped his forehead after she placed two jugs of wine on the wine table, “Although the restaurant doesn’t sell your Northern Liang’s Green Ant Wine, I still have several jars of it stashed away.”
Xu Fenian laughed, “What’s the hurry, drink first.”
Wen Hua nodded, “That’s right, we brothers have finally reached a good time where we can let go of our stomachs to drink and eat meat, we don’t need to worry about having this meal but not the next, so it’s time to drink more.”
White Fox face did not sit down, carrying the pot of wine towards the fence, far back to the two.
Wen Hua asked softly, “How are you doing?”
Xu Fenian thought for a moment, “Not bad.”
Wen Hua laughed, “I’ve had a better time than you, so today’s drink, my treat.”
Xu Fenian blankly said, “How can you say that?”
Wen Hua stretched out his thumb and pointed behind himself, “I have two children, you only have one!”
Xu Fengyen wanted to say compare the number of daughters-in-law, suddenly thought of the white fox child face embroidered with winter spring thunder on his waistband, she was standing right there, he could only gritted his teeth and said, “Count your ruthlessness!”
When the storyteller stopped telling books and stories, the drinkers up and down the restaurant stopped refilling their cups and adding more wine, and quickly dispersed.
After drinking two pots of inferior but strong soju, Wen Hua got up to get those long treasured green ant wine, and also pulled that aged gentleman to the second floor, Xu Fengnian also got up and toasted the old man with a big bowl of green ant wine, at that time the old man was too busy to get up, even though the other party told him to make himself at home, the old man still tried his best to drink a small half of the bowl.
The old man only knew that the not too young man, is the restaurant owner’s brother, probably called Xiao Nian to come, but with the Northern Liang King Xu Fengnian both have a year word to come.
The old man drank that bowl of green ant wine that really burns the mouth and burns the intestines, and then staggered to say goodbye and go downstairs, feeling that today he drank so much wine, the meaning is also to the point, especially in the end end endured the strange man’s toast, feeling some …… quite proud of it, as for the exact why, the old man was drunk seven or eight points, do not go to think deeply, but also deep thought can not be.
This day, Xu Fengnian finally got drunk again.
After his first trip away from Yang Jianghu, then back to Liangzhou, back to that Qingliang Mountain, it is strange, after that, it seems like there is really no more drunkenness.
The two sets of women and children, sitting on the far side of the second floor at the wine table, from beginning to end, did not bother those two men who were drinking and chatting.
Xu Fengnian drunkenly said that he had found a place surrounded by mountains on all sides and took them to live in seclusion.
Said they all know Li stuff, and a small monk called Wu Nan Nan Nan went to the Jiangnan Road, the small monk said to build a temple, because when there is a temple, there will be incense, there will be incense money, there will be incense money, there will be incense money, even if he can not become a Buddha to burn out the relics, but also can have money to give the stuff to buy rouge and powder.
Said his brother Xu Longxiang also found a satisfactory daughter-in-law, the woman called Murong Longshui in order to yellow barbarians, froze from two hundred pounds of fat, into a hundred pounds of heavy women.
Said he must find the guy called Chen Zhi Bao, do not believe that this bullshit white soldier saint really dead, must ask a why face to face.
Said he would have liked to introduce Wen Hua a guy named Zhao Zhuo to get to know each other, but unfortunately that son of a bitch is too stingy, not even willing to buy people a drink, or forget about it.
Said a guy whose name used to be Zhao Zhuan, with his daughter-in-law in the North Liang Road Lingzhou settled down, as a private school teacher, quite good.
Said the former Wudang headmaster Li Yu axe left undeservedly, not worth it, even if that young Taoist was for the sake of the world’s life.
Said you Wen Hua is not able to see that thousands of exiled people like rain fall on earth, too bad.
Said he did not know his own disciple Yu Di Long, can not get really become a land dragon, become the last land immortal on earth.
Said he Xu family now changed into the North Liang Road Secretary residence, can not take you Wen Hua to go over there to swing.
In the night, Xu Fengyen was so drunk that he was lying on the wine table, and Wen Hua was exactly the same.
Already drunk to the point of unconsciousness.
Xu Fengyen spoke I don’t know if it was drunken words or dream words, “Xiao Er, serve the wine!”
Wen Hua was still in general, murmuring in a small voice, “Alas! Guest wine is here~”
