Chapter 34 Osmanthus Spring Wine
Halfway through the midsummer of the Qinghe Empire, the sun gradually setting gradually dissipates the residual warmth around it.
"Miss Shen, where are we going?" Lin Feng turned around and asked Shen Shanhai.
Shen Shanhai smiled slightly, his slightly sideways face and eyes were extremely clear.
"Since you came to the academy, you haven't stopped improving yourself for a moment, and today I specially took you out to breathe and relax. ”
Lin Feng stretched his slightly tired body and continued to ask:
"I don't know much about this place either, do you have any places you'd like to visit?"
Shen Shanhai tilted his head and thought about it, frowned slightly and said, "Follow me." ”
Lin Feng is not a person who likes to run around very much, even if the imperial capital is very close to his home, he has never walked around.
Looking carefully at the center of the imperial capital of the Qinghe Empire, the scenery at dusk is very pleasant. All kinds of plants are neatly pruned, and the hot summer months become indescribably refreshing.
A warm evening breeze blew, Lin Feng's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the tavern not far away and said:
"Let's go there, you see, there's somebody singing over there, and it looks good. ”
A plainly dressed man next to the tavern sang the characteristic folk songs of the imperial capital, although no one applauded, but every time he sang to the depths of love, there would always be many people around him who echoed the singing.
Shen Shanhai's eyes dimmed in a trance, and he said in a low voice, "Don't be...... bar".
"Is there anything bad?" Lin Feng asked Shen Shanhai curiously, his eyes slightly staring at Shen Shanhai.
"Hmm...... If you like, we can also be here, just ......" Shen Shanhai had lowered his head more than half at this time, and there seemed to be something faintly on his mind.
"Just what?" Lin Feng continued to ask.
"Hmm...... Nothing, so let's eat something here. Shen Shanhai raised his head, his hesitant eyes met Lin Feng's inquiring eyes.
The corners of his mouth quickly rose, and a faint smile in his eyes forcibly suppressed the inconspicuous sadness.
The singer singing a folk song at the door bent down slightly and stretched out his hand to give the two of them a "please come in" gesture, and the ballad in his mouth continued to sing.
The two of them found a relatively clean spot, leaning against the table by the window to reflect the afterglow of the setting sun.
There aren't many dishes in the shop, and most of them are delicate side dishes that are carefully prepared to pair with sake. Lin Feng ordered a secret fish made by the hotel, and Shen Shanhai asked for a bottle of iced osmanthus clear spring wine.
"Lin Feng, how much do you drink?" I don't know if it was because of the afterglow of the setting sun or the drunken aroma of aging, Shen Shanhai's white and tender face looked slightly red, and it seemed that the drunkenness had already emerged before tasting the wine.
Lin Feng smiled embarrassedly and said:
"I drink a lot of alcohol, and I get on it when I touch it, but fortunately, I'm more conscious. ”
The guys in the hotel served the food and wine, Shen Shanhai touched the blue-black ceramic wine bottle, gently unscrewed the cork and said:
"Qingquan wine is a specialty of the imperial capital, derived from the clear spring water near the osmanthus forest of the Qinghe Empire. ”
"The people there have been brewing this osmanthus spring wine for generations, this is a rare treasure in the world, and the sweet and fragrant taste makes people all over the continent fascinated by it, and you can't help but taste it. ”
Shen Shanhai said, got up and filled a glass for Lin Feng. As soon as the wine was put into the glass, a rich sweet aroma poured out instantly.
Lin Feng picked up the wine glass after thanking him, looked at the little osmanthus petals that seemed to remain, and took a deep breath with a slightly shrugged nose, the charming drunken fragrance mixed with the special sweetness of osmanthus instantly made him feel like he was in a paradise.
Slamming the glass slightly, Lin Feng raised the wine glass and drank it all, as soon as the cold and clear osmanthus Qingquan wine entered his stomach, a warm current rose, and the intoxicating sweetness made him feel that it was an indescribable enjoyment for a person who didn't like to drink in his life.
The sun outside the window has completely disappeared, and the atmosphere of the night with the warm evening breeze makes people feel extremely comfortable.
Shen Shanhai and him ate and drank at the same time, chatting and pondering. The folk singer at the window began to beat the drum slowly at this time, singing vicissitudes and moving songs while accompaniing:
You say you love life here
It's like yesterday's long river
The evening breeze blows up your unruly sleeves
You waved your hand and said goodbye Qinghe
......
As they listened to the song, they fell into a brief silence. Shen Shanhai's face was as red as a ripe apple, and Lin Feng only felt a little dizzy in his head, and everything gradually faded in this comfortable evening breeze.
Shen Shanhai, who had been silent for a long time, moved his eyes, looked at Lin Feng with a quiet face through his long hair, and muttered to Lin Feng.
"Do you know why I'm reluctant to come here?" said Shen Shanhai with his head raised sideways.
Lin Feng shook his head slowly.
"I was here with a boy who was a patient in my family. ”
Lin Feng didn't interrupt and listened to Shen Shanhai's words silently.
"He was suffering from a disease, a disease that seemed to grow old. This is the first time my father has seen this symptom of his, and our whole family is a healer, and we will not give up on him no matter what. ”
"What happened later, is he okay?" Lin Feng asked.
"Later?" Shen Shanhai's reddened pretty face lay flat on the table, and his beautiful eyes showed deep friendship.
"Later, we fell in love, although I was not too old at the time, but people always have feelings, in the face of a handsome, gentle and considerate boy, which girl would not be moved?"
Although Lin Feng was a little sour in his heart, he thought about the relationship between her and himself after all, and he didn't have any other thoughts.
"We are trying to treat this strange disease in his body, he can't get by because he doesn't have medical expenses, and he is doing his best for us to do what he can for his family. ”
"At first we both thought that emotions were the most important thing, so we would all play together after the normal medication, and this small hotel was also a place we used to visit, and although he couldn't drink too much, he said that he always had a lot of nostalgia for this osmanthus spring wine. ”
"At that time, we were really like a couple, although we didn't confess to each other, but we liked each other deeply,"
When Lin Feng heard this, he felt that the wine in front of him seemed to be unfragrant in an instant, although he didn't have much emotion, it always made him a little uncomfortable.
The topic paused slightly, and Lin Feng asked puzzledly:
"Isn't it nice to have a disease that doesn't grow old? ”
After hearing this, Shen Shanhai's eyes seemed to dim a lot.
"But Lin Feng, do you know? There will be no good things in the world that come in vain, and this ability to change one's life against the sky naturally has side effects, otherwise he wouldn't have come to us for treatment. ”
Lin Feng's expression changed instantly when he heard the words "change his life against the sky", and continued to ask:
"Then what are the side effects of this disease that doesn't get old?"
Shen Shanhai's originally smiling red lips instantly bent bitterly, and something seemed to be choked in his throat:
"The side effect of this damn disease is that the consciousness and mind of a human being will gradually disappear due to the deepening of the disease, and even become like a beast. ”
