Chapter 7: Intoxicating
Chang Sihao didn't taste right when he heard this. Listen attentively. But he saw a man holding the door frame and poking his head out of the entrance of the temple. Apparently already hearing his own footsteps. The man was in his thirties. Yellow, charred dough. He has two short beards. and Chang Sihao's eyes. He snorted and shrank back.
Chang Sihao strode into the hall. Glance at it. I saw the yellow-faced man shrinking his hands and feet. He has crouched back at the temple gate. Dressed in a yellow cloth shirt. Old straw sandals underfoot. There were two wooden barrels and a flat pole next to them. The temple was empty. No one else. I felt a little strange: "I heard someone talking just now. Could it be that he was talking to himself? ”
The man leaned on his knees and bowed his head. Shrugging his shoulders and not saying a word. The eyes kept rolling in their sockets. Chang Sihao looked around. I don't feel like a good person anymore. He drew his sword sharply and shouted, "You are so bold. The man kicked his leg in fright at the sound of the sword. Almost turned in the clouds. Hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The old man doesn't dare to spare the little one." Chang Sihao knew that he was richly dressed and had a sword in his hand. Probably because he thought of him as some kind of character on the ground. I laughed in my heart. Said coldly: "What about the woman." The man said, "She." Of course with her man. Chang Sihao's face was cold: "What do you want to do?" The man said, "The little ones don't dare to do it." Chang Sihao sent the sword forward. Frightened, he immediately piled it down. Hurriedly shook his hand: "Master spare your life." In fact, you don't blame me for this. The main thing is that her man only knows how to drink and live a life. So what a good little lady should follow me than follow him......"
He spoke in a fit of rage. The words are spoken tightly and quickly. I don't know if it's scary. Or is it the habit of talking itself.
Chang Sihao was happy: "Follow you." How good are you better than others? ”
The man didn't expect him to ask about this. Helplessly, he said, "Small...... The small home is three large tiled houses, and there is a grinding plate. And at least one of the errands in the pot is a regular businessman. My mother's legs and feet are also tough, and there is no problem in watching a child cook in the future......"
Chang Sihao looked at the two wooden barrels next to him. Although there is a lid on it. There is still a smell of wine. I thought, "Dare to love this person is a wine seller." I probably fell in love with the wife of a drunkard. Want to hook up. It just so happened that I met it. If you don't give him some power. Will not the woman's name be ruined? Said: "A family lives a family life." People drink alcohol. You're in business. What do you think of crooked ways? It's time to eat my sword today. As he spoke, he raised his sword high.
The wine man screamed, "My mother is eighty." "Lying on the ground.
Chang Sihao couldn't help but smile and stiffened his face: "Yo." You also know that you are worried about your mother. The Winemaker: "Not really." Mostly because she thinks about me. My mother was eighteen married and twenty widowed. I was raised by a wild man. The main thing is that since I was a child, she can come to me for everything. When I grow up, I naturally want to be able to take care of her. To tell the truth, if she hadn't picked three or four, I wouldn't have been able to fight all these years. Of course, you shouldn't say that you are not a mother. Mainly......"
"Come on. ”
Chang Sihao was too lazy to listen any further. Lightly tapped his foot and said, "Adultery, theft, and adultery." Think less later. "Slowly put the sword into its sheath.
"Yes. Be. The wineman couldn't help but nod. Rubbing his chest and exhaling. An expression of the rest of his life. At this time, Li Shuangji tied his horse and walked into the palace. Glancing at him. Look around the empty hall. Sen Ran is dark and cold. He put his luggage down and walked out again. Raise your hand to the rafters under the eaves. It doesn't take long to give a hug. Come back and put it on the ground and make it into a tic-tac-toe. Ignite the paper medium and light the fire. Chang Sihao took off the big foil and baked it against the fire. Seeing that the wine man shrunk and shrunk his feet, he looked pitiful. He beckoned, "Come and make a fire together." The man smiled, "Hey, hey." He agreed. But he didn't dare to come. Chang Sihao knew that he had scared him just now. took out a piece of broken silver and said, "It's quite cold on this rainy day." Man. I'm sorry to sift the wine in two corners. ”
The man didn't move. Li Shuangji took the silver and approached. Lift the lid of the bucket and sniff it. grinning: "It's very fragrant." The man leaned on the bucket and said, "This ...... This multigrain wine is something made by our countrymen. If you can't get it on the table, don't buy it. Li Shuangji handed over the silver. The man didn't answer. Forced a smile: "Master." Don't scold me for giving this bucket to someone. You can't sell it, you can't sell it. Li Shuangji said: "Send it." Whom do you give this wilderness? ”
The man laughed and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. This family lives in the middle of nowhere, but they are our old cookers. It is possible to load two barrels in three or five days. Li Shuangji smiled: "These two barrels are at least forty catties." It can be drunk in three or five days. It seems that this family has a good amount of alcohol. The wine man said, "Hi." What is the big family, in fact, there are two people. The man looks very sven, who would have thought that he could drink it like this. Probably because he couldn't pass the fame, he borrowed wine to drown his sorrows. Scholars are not like that. I can't do big things, and I don't like to do small things. Gluttonous and lazy, who is a person who is passing by. Alas. It's a pity that his little ...... "suddenly became conscious." Peeked to the side. I didn't dare to go any further. Chang Sihao thought to himself: "It's not scared to dare to love him." It's a chatter in itself. I didn't even breathe when I was talking. ”
Where does Li Shuangji still listen to this nonsense. Pull the bucket in front of you. Scoop it with a wooden spoon.
"Hey. Hey...... "The eyes widened when he drank wine. Reach out and wait to stop it. I saw that Li Shuangji's spoonful of wine had been eaten. But he froze in mid-air. It was as if I had seen myself being beaten. Li Shuangji raised his head and drank it all. smiled: "Oh, what." He can drink. There are still two of them. You're a trader. My brain is worse than mine. He slapped the silver into his hand. Scooped another spoonful and sent it to Chang Sihao. "This wine is good." Chang Sihao took it. Looking at the pale face of the words, he thought, "Tibet is coming." Must go to Sichuan. The people in the interior are accustomed to living a peaceful life. For most of the year, there are no knives and guns. A flashing sword is scared like this. It's going to be a real fight in the future. What will it be? He drank it all. Instructed Li Shuangji to be polite and return the spoon. Don't drink anymore.
Just these two spoonfuls of wine. Ten dollars is not too much. Li Shuangji was a little reluctant. but they still did as they were told. The sound of rain outside the hall was loud and small. He laid felt by the fire. Wait for Chang Sihao to lie down. I also sat down against the wall and took a nap. After a while, there was a snoring sound.
Chang Sihao looked at the uncertain firelight. I thought of Yin'er for a while. I was worried about Ah Yao for a while. Chen Shengyi sighed for a while. There was a burst of sorrow. Sleepiness gradually set in. Cover up your clothes. Fall asleep. Wake up and open your eyes. The light coming in from the ruined roof was too dim. It is like a corridor of light floating in the air. He felt a little pain in his head. Stretch and roll over and sit up. Suddenly, I found that my luggage was missing. Get up and look around. I saw that it was empty all around. At the entrance of the temple was paved with morning light. The wine man is gone. He hurriedly woke up Li Shuangji. Go out and look for it in front of the temple and behind the palace. At this time, it was still drizzling. The four outer walls are muddy. The grass is new. There is no half figure. Circle back to the entrance of the temple. I saw Li Shuangji waving and shouting under the gatehouse: "The horse is gone." "Get close. I saw that the hoof prints on the ground had been soaked by the rain. It's not clear. Apparently the horses had been led away during the night. Chang Sihao was puzzled: "I can silently steal luggage and horses under my nose." Could it be that the talker is a hidden master. I saw Li Shuangji yelling at the four outside. Then he grabbed him and said, "Forget it." Let's hurry. Fortunately, there are no important items in the luggage. ”
Li Shuangji hurriedly said: "The luggage doesn't matter. What about horses. How can you travel without a horse. ”
Chang Sihao knew that Ma Ruo was stolen at night. By this time, they had already run away. said: "It is useless to repay the complaint at this time. Let's go to the next town and buy two more. ”
The two braved the drizzle and went up the avenue to the southeast. Go four or five miles. Li Shuangji pointed to the ground: "It's our horse." Chang Sihao looked down. Sure enough, there were four rows of hoof prints on the ground. Two of the rows were noticeably larger and darker than the other. Apparently it was stepped out by Mikawa Lihua. The hoof prints left the road and turned into a wooded path. Because there are leaves to shelter from the rain. Therefore it was not washed away by the water. Li Shuangji was afraid that Chang Sihao would not chase after him. said continuously: "The trail is not easy to walk. He's definitely not going far. "Chang Sihao is also a nest fire. Second, I knew that the next village and town marked on the map would be at least twenty or thirty miles away. At the moment, he waved his hand: "Look and see." Li Shuangji was overjoyed. Rushed down first.
The trail is winding and quiet. The vegetation grows deeper along the road. And it's covered in rain and dew. Scraped the legs of the two of them wet. After a journey, I felt that the road was endless. Chang Sihao gradually became irritable. Have the heart to go back. I am not willing to run for nothing. At this time. The sound of the foliage suddenly ceased. It turned out that Li Shuangji, who was in front, stopped. Listen intently. Chang Sihao also braked himself. I only heard the faint singing and the sound of murmuring water in the distance.
Chang Sihao hurriedly tugged at his clothes: "Let's go back." Li Shuangji didn't move. Chang Sihao said: "You listen to the sound of this mountain song. It's a woman's house. The two of us met in the wilderness. Isn't it scary? Let's go. Li Shuangji said: "Wait." This sound is familiar. Chang Sihao was stunned for a moment. I think of you, a northern man. You can also meet acquaintances in this great southwest. When listening. The mountain song was singing: "The spring breeze leads the birds back." Flowers bloom in the cold. The drizzle is clear. Don't let the clouds be beautiful. The window ridge is wet together. Lovers don't regret it. And make old wine into new tea. A continuation of the previous drunkenness. "Listened to this paragraph. I also feel that the sound is familiar. Suddenly, the two looked at each other. I know who it is. Accelerate now. The forest is sheltered by shrubs. It looks deep. Unexpectedly, a few steps have come to an end. Coming out. I just felt that my eyes were wide. I saw a clear stream in the forest in front of me, diagonally between the green fields and mountain flowers. Across. There is a small courtyard with a fence under the shade of the trees. The grass in the courtyard is pointy. The reeds were washed bright and fresh by the rain. Dust-free. The windows under the eaves are propped up with a stick. There is a woman holding a bamboo cup in her hand. He was leaning on the table and sitting against the window. Slanted at the stream and swam in the water.
A deep and warm alto sounded in the grass house: "Everyone uses tea to relieve hangover." but thou hast made wine to relieve thy hangover. Isn't it drunk on top of drunk? With the sound of this. A coarse white shirt slowly moved through the window. Because of the sash of the window. Only a section between the chest and abdomen can be seen. Looking at the figure, it is obviously a man.
The woman's gaze was unscanned. Shu smiled lightly: "You can 'fight poison with poison'." Why not get drunk and get drunk. ”
Chang Sihao strode forward and said with a smile: "Fight poison with poison." Poison can be eliminated twice. Sin on sin upon sin. I am afraid that the sin will not be forgiven. ”
"Squeak" sounded. The wooden door of the grass hut opened gently. The man walked out slowly. Looking at Chang Sihao across the river. showed a calm and kind smile: "Brother escaped last night." ”
At this time, the rain stopped. The sky becomes wide and far-reaching. Sunlight leaks between the clouds. The white shirt on his body shines brightly. It turned out to be the eldest grandson Xiaochi.
Chang Sihao was stunned for a moment. Catch a vine and swing across the river. Took his hand: "Big brother." Farewell to the Beijing Division. Don't want you here. The eldest grandson smiled and shook it back strongly. Shui Yanxiang also walked out of the house. The body is full of skirts. The cheeks are wine crimson. There was an affectionate smile between his eyebrows. It's still the drunken posture where everything in heaven and earth is subordinated to the soles of the feet. Chang Sihao didn't dare to look at it more. Bow your head and greet your sister-in-law. Suddenly, I heard a "flutter tom". Look back. The river splashed high. Li Shuangji sat in the middle of the river. Holding a half-broken mountain vine in his hand.
The three of them laughed. Shui Yanxiang went to the back to get a dry clothes. Li Shuangji was replaced. Looking left and right, I wondered: "Isn't this my clothes?" The eldest grandson Xiaochi led the two to the backyard to watch. I saw that last night, when I met the words of the wine, I was crooked in the firewood and straw shed. There were two horses tied to it. The barrels and bars were set aside. The eldest grandson smiled and said, "This person's name is Shi Zhongchen." It's the guy of Yibin Lao Chen's pot. Every three or five days. and he will bring us wine. Last night he braved the rain to deliver the wine. looked a little flustered. And they usually come with a burden. This time, there was the neighing of horses in the woods. I thought it was people from the rivers and lakes chasing after me. Check it out and be fine. When he opened this wine. only to find one of the barrels inside. I ordered very shoddy Mongolian and Chinese medicine......"
Chang Sihao immediately woke up: "No wonder I didn't notice that something was stolen yesterday." Dare to love has been poisoned by Mongolian and Han medicine. Probably because I drank less. The medicinal properties are poor. So wake up later. I don't think it's a problem with wine. But he felt strange: "This guy is drugged in front of us." We didn't find out. ”
The chatter saw Chang and Li. I was scared out of the sky. I'm scared to the extreme. But suddenly it collapsed. He shouted in the woodshed and straw: "No wonder I am forced by you to buy my wine to drink." ”
Li Shuangji grabbed him in the past. He scolded: "It's not that I didn't give you money to buy wine." Who told you to drugged. I drugged you. I drugged you. He slapped his mouth as he spoke.
The chatter said with a cry in the gap between the swaying of his cheeks: "Don't fight. Don't fight. I was supposed to ...... I didn't want to...... ...... for you"
Chang Sihao suddenly understood: when he first entered the yard yesterday, he heard him talking to himself. There was also the sound of water in the temple. I think it's a movement coming from a barrel. By that time, he had probably finished his medicine and was stirring. but not for us to drink. Instead, I wanted to send it to the eldest grandson Xiaochi. Wait until he finishes drinking and faints. It's good to be forcibly rude to Shui Yanxiang.
Thinking of this, he stopped Li Shuangji. He asked, "There's medicine in the wine." You know it when we scoop it and drink it. But he didn't dare to say it because he was afraid. Isn't it. ”
"Yes." Be. Chang Sihao said: "Say so." You have no intention of harming us. Then why steal horses and luggage. "The talker is self-conscious. He hung his head and said, "I see you're asleep." I was afraid that when I woke up, I would react and hit me, so I picked up a drink and wanted to leave. When we got to the gatehouse, we saw that the horses were good. I thought that it would be better to get the two animals away and sell them for money when I returned to the city. After untying the horses, he pondered that since the horses were stolen, it would be better to bring the luggage on the ......" Li Shuangji said: "Since you have carried the luggage, it is better to kill the two of us." Isn't it. ”
He replied, "Yes." Hurriedly shook his head again: "Don't dare." I don't dare. Absolutely not. Don't dare. ”
Chang Sihao knew that this guy had stolen something, and he still came to deliver wine as usual. Obviously, he wants to have both wealth and sex. said: "Big brother." This man was not kind to his sister-in-law. It's up to you. The eldest grandson smiled lately. This kind of thing happens from time to time around Shui Yanxiang. The two have long been accustomed to it. Turning his head sideways, he said, "It's better for you to deal with it." Shui Yanxiang smiled: "Okay." The eldest grandson Xiaochi pulled Chang Sihao into the house and sat down. Li Shuangji followed up and looked around. I saw that this room was a frame structure. The wood of the pillars is very new. Obviously, it didn't take long to build. The walls are plastered with white plaster. The floor is covered with wooden planks. In addition to two newly woven rattan chairs and a wooden table. A lute hanging on the wall. A three-string. There are no other furnishings. I thought to myself: "I heard that the water girl ran away with the wild man." Dare to love this day is not very good. ”
I only heard Chang Sihao ask, "Big brother." How did you get here. ”
