That night, the village was more lively than ever.

The old people in the village dug up the home-brewed wine that had been treasured for many years from their yards, and when they opened it, the aroma of the wine drifted out with the cold wind at night for ten miles.

In the open space around the village, wherever there was a place to put it down, firewood was laid and piles of bonfires were lit. From time to time, firewood exploded in the blazing bonfire, like lit firecrackers, and sparks flew everywhere and flew everywhere, scattering to the place where the fire was shining, almost igniting the hay in a nearby grassland.

The people came in droves to the widest clearing in front of the village, cleared the weeds, and rammed the land even and solidly, and all joined hands around the highest bonfire in the middle, and sang a night song that reached into the sky as if it had reached the distant stars.

Wu Yan was arranged by Wu Suomu to sit at the top of the open space, and sat there to watch the series of welcome ceremonies they had carefully prepared for her. Tanuki and the two old slaves also sat with Wu Yan, enjoying the festive song and dance.

As for Xu Guan, he was lying on the other side of Wu Yan, and under him was a makeshift bed made of wooden planks by Wu Suomu, and the bed was covered with a soft mattress, on which he was lying with a thick quilt.

Originally, he didn't plan to participate in this somewhat noisy welcome party, but Wu Suomu was too enthusiastic, and when Xu Guan politely refused and asked to find a quiet place for him to rest, a few planks had already put together the wooden bed. This is also to blame Xu Guan for the problems left when he was a scholar, and when he spoke, it was a beginning, a foreshadowing, and a turning point, and when he turned to the central idea, Wu Suomu had already explained his words. After he finished speaking, the people had already pressed him on the made bed regardless of the three, seven, twenty-one, and added a thick quilt to him.

"So you won't be afraid of freezing. Wu Suomu clapped his hands and said to Xu Guan: "Mr. Xu, let's wait for the roasted whole sheep to eat, which is especially fat and fragrant." Just wait and eat!"

Xu Guan was weak, tired and hungry, and couldn't resist, so he had to lie there pitifully, with a hint of asking for help in his eyes, and looked at Wu Yan, who was sitting next to him. Wu Yan turned a deaf ear to Xu Guan's gaze, and looked at the people performing in the field with a mysterious smile on his face. Xu Guan was only limited to throwing such a look for help, and he really couldn't wipe his face and ask for help, after all, they were still arguing half a day ago.

After boiling for a long time, finally everyone sang and danced, and two big fat sheep were added to the bonfire, not only this bonfire, but also the whole sheep were roasted on the side of the other fires. Roughly counted, there are as many as thirty or fifty, not only whole sheep, but also mare's milk tea, beef jerky and so on. Almost all the specialties of the steppe have been moved here.

The roasted whole sheep had just been roasted, the largest, the best roasted, the one that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, was carried to Wu Yan by two people, and on a few wooden stakes, and a few sharp knives were presented, and she was invited to taste them.

Wu Yan casually picked up one of the several jars of fine wine from the side, craned his neck, first took a big sip of wine, and then moved the knife, from the position of the lamb's belly, cut off a piece of fat and thin barbecue, sent it to his mouth steaming, chewed a few times, swallowed it, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's really good." Then he waved his hand: "Let's eat, everyone." ”

Seeing that the master was so satisfied, Wu Suomu and the others laughed happily, and they were not polite, each tearing off a large piece of cooked meat from the roast sheep, and while eating the meat in a big gulp, they raised their wine bowls and drank wine.

Wu Yan wiped the grease stains from the corners of his mouth, and pushed the whole sheep to the side to the side to the raccoon dog and the two old slaves: "You also eat." ”

"Thank you hosts. The three of them were also drooling greedily, and they didn't care too much, so they directly picked up the knife and cut off the piece of meat from the sheep in the position they liked, and at the same time lifted the wine jar next to it, and drank it with their heads up.

Wu Yan has not been so relaxed for a long time, he has not lived such a comfortable life for a long time, his eyes are also a little foggy at this time, and he doesn't know which memory comes to his mind. She casually picked up the jar of wine and took another sip.

Then I heard Xu Guan's weak voice with dissatisfaction: "How can a woman drink alcohol, how can she eat meat in such a large public?"

"I like it, can't I?" Wu Yan glanced at Xu Guan, as if he was deliberately angry with him, the wine jar that he had just put down was raised again, and he took a big sip again, and after drinking, he gave a long burp, and said, "Happy, happy!" and deliberately provoked, and glanced at Xu Guan again: "It's really happy!"

"Hmph!" Xu Guan looked away angrily, no longer looked at Wu Yan, but silently calculated in his heart that if he could recover his strength in the future, the second thing he would do was to discipline Sister Lin well.

The raccoon dog also eats a mouth full of oil, and in the two hundred years since she became a sperm, she has never eaten such an authentic roasted whole sheep on the grassland. Although she was greedy, she did not forget to observe the words and looks, and observed the appearance of Xu Guan and Wu Yan, so she cut off a piece of fat and thin, not greasy and woody meat with a smile, walked to Xu Guan's bed, and handed it to Xu Guan's face: "Mr. Xu Guan, please eat meat." ”

Xu Guan seemed to be angry, and said angrily: "Don't dare to bother the raccoon girl." You might as well drink wine and eat barbecue with your host. ”

Tanuki was not angry, still smiling, and sent the meat to Xu Guan's mouth: "What did you say, I, as a servant, can I talk about the trouble of serving you to eat something." You're weak and haven't eaten anything serious along the way. Let's eat some meat to replenish your body. ”

Xu Guan's stubborn temper is impossible to be moved by a few words, and even in his character, there are some elements of persuasion and stubbornness. Wu Yan knew him, so before he could open his mouth and refuse again, Wu Yan took the lead and said, "Tanuki, don't worry about him." If he doesn't eat, he won't eat, and he won't be hungry for us anyway. ”

When Tanuki heard this, he said to Xu Guan: "Mr. Xu Guan, then you are hungry to speak." After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but he heard Xu Guan say angrily again: "Yu is not hungry." ”

The raccoon dog is exquisite, and her personality is also gentle, it is really difficult to understand Xu Guan's temper, so stubborn, what else can she do except block herself and the people around her? She took the meat, ate it herself, and walked back to the same place.

Wu Yan also shook his head secretly, Xu Guan's temper was like this when he was a weak scholar in the past, and then he became a night watchman who cultivated to the top, and now he has become a precarious waste, and he is still like this. It's a real headache. She was also slightly angry in her heart, thinking about whether to simply beat him up and help him change his temper, but when she saw Xu Guan's pale face, she sighed again, forget it, he looks like this now, I'm afraid he can't even slap himself, and he will beat him when he gets better in the future.

At this time, Wu Suomu suddenly came over with two more people, one carrying half a sheep and the other carrying a large jar of wine. Still a few steps away, Wu Suomu greeted Wu Yan: "Master, we really didn't think it through, we had too much fun, and we forgot about Mr. Xu." I just casually saw the raccoon girl feeding Mr. Xu meat, and I remembered that I had promised Mr. Xu to eat roast whole sheep for him. As he spoke, he came to him and pointed to the roast sheep that was carrying behind him: "No, we have brought the sheep again." Tanuki girl, you can eat yours, and just feed Mr. Xu the meat, just leave it to the two of them. ”

As he spoke, Wu Suomu asked his subordinates to put a jar of wine and half a sheep next to Xu Guan's bed, leaving a sentence: "Serve Mr. Xu to eat and drink well." Then he turned and walked back. I don't know what he saw, so he exclaimed: "Hey, I took a fancy to that piece of meat, keep some for me, don't grab it!"

The two people he left here saw him like this, and hurriedly shouted at his back: "Brother Wu Suomu, leave some for us too." We didn't have enough to eat!"

"Don't worry, leave a big leg of lamb for each of you!" Wu Suomu plunged into the crowd and began a gladiatorial battle for the barbecue in his heart.

The two of them didn't care about the three-seven-twenty-one, and directly lifted Xu Guan's quilt violently, and after the cold wind in the night blew like this, Xu Guan shivered violently and shivered.

"Yo. It's freezing!" said one man.

"Come, take a sip of wine to warm up. The other person opened the seal on the wine jar, lifted it and put it on Xu Guan's mouth: "Come on, come on, tilt your neck, open your mouth." ”

The other person not only cooperated to help Xu Guan up, but also broke Xu Guan's mouth open. The mouth of the wine jar was attached to Xu Guan's lips, and as soon as the wine jar was crooked, a large stream of wine was poured into Xu Guan's mouth. Xu Guan could barely swallow the first two bites, but the latter coughed a few times and squirted out.

"Drink slowly, drink slowly, don't rush. The man who helped him hurriedly patted him on the back.

Xu Guan blushed, coughed vigorously, and couldn't say the bitterness in his heart.

Seeing that Xu Guan was so tossed by these two people, Tanuki was still a little worried, and walked lightly to Wu Yan's side, and asked quietly, "Master, do you want to stop them." I'm afraid that Mr. Xu Guan's body can't withstand the toss. ”

"Out of the way. I've seen his injuries, and I can't even bear this toss. Besides, wine invigorates the blood, and drinking some of it is good for him. Wu Yan took a sheep's hind leg handed by the raccoon, took a bite, and ate it until the corners of his mouth were oily.

The raccoon nodded, turned his head and walked back, picked up the hind leg of the other sheep and bit it, while the two old slaves each held a front leg of the sheep and gnawed. In this way, the four legs of a sheep were perfectly divided between the four of them.

The two people who took care of Xu Guan finally patted Xu Guan's back to make him stop coughing, and then pulled down a leg of mutton and handed it to Xu Guan's mouth: "Come, Mr. Xu, open your mouth and take a bite." ”

Xu Guan was almost coerced by these two people, so he had no choice but to open his mouth reluctantly, tear it hard, chew it twice, and swallowed it with difficulty, feeling the rough shredded flesh across his throat burned by the spirits, causing strong discomfort.

However, one of the two people was holding the wine jar, and the other was holding a leg of mutton, and they kept urging: "Mr. Xu, open your mouth wide, eat big, drink big!"

"Obedient, come, open your mouth. Saying this, he forcibly opened Xu Guan's mouth and poured him another sip of wine.

Xu Guan choked and swallowed the wine. The man was satisfied, "Eh, that's right. ”

In this way, Xu Guan was served by these two people all his life, and it was not easy to stuff barbecue meat and pour spirits.

Wu Yan was a little impatient with Xu Guan's stubborn temper until just now, and he didn't make a move, at this time, seeing Xu Guan being served so offended by these two big-hearted, rough-handed grassland men, he was also a little gloating, and he felt that the anger in his heart was helped out a lot by these two men.

She was in a better mood, tore another bite of the leg of lamb, and took a sip of wine.
