Chapter Seventy-Seven: Night Talk by the Lake
In the Zhao family's mansion, Zhao Leiwu held a wine glass on the main seat, and laughed at the elders of the Zhao family on the big table: "Everyone is welcome, drink it, I am happy today!" ”
Zhao Long, who was sitting under Zhao Leiwu, also laughed and said: "Yes, big brother! This time, our Zhao family is the most beautiful one in the selection competition, accounting for three places, one more person than the City Lord's Mansion." It's all thanks to little brother Jun!"
The remaining elders also laughed and said, "What the head of the family said is good, we have to thank Brother Jun well." ”
Wang Chen, who was sitting on the side, drank wine silently, and when he encountered a few compliments, he also answered modestly.
Finally, Wang Chen found an excuse to escape from the dining table.
Wang Chen stayed away from the lively backyard and walked out of the Zhao Mansion.
After the game, Wang Chen was pulled back by Zhao Leiwu and said that he would hold a wedding banquet to make it lively. was pulled by Zhao Lili, Zhao Jiaqi and several others, Wang Chen was embarrassed to shirk, so he agreed.
Wang Chen, who left the Zhao Mansion, walked on the street. He was in a bad mood, he was full of confusion, he didn't know what he was going to do?
Unconsciously, Wang Chen came to a small lake. Wang Chen was not leaving, so he found a stone by the lake and sat on it. Then Wang Chen looked at the lake in front of him blankly.
Wang Chen dragged his cheeks and looked at the microwave lake, his mind was full of the question that had tormented him for a long time. He didn't know whether to accept it or not.
After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Chen didn't have a clue.
couldn't help but look up, Wang Chen saw the full moon reflected in the middle of the lake, and couldn't help but be stunned. He lay back, just in time to see the full moon hanging in the dark night sky.
Seeing the bright moonlight, Wang Chen couldn't help but miss his hometown. He still remembers the bits and pieces of life on Earth. Work hard from 5 to 9 and spend your spare time entertaining with friends .......
Although sometimes I am tired and there are times when I am depressed, there will also be some happy days and happy moments. Wang Chen looked at the full moon in the sky and thought about his distant hometown.
Wang Chen took out a jar of wine from the Qiankun bag, raised his head and poured it with a gurgling face. Wang Chen now deeply understands a poem he learned when he was very young in his previous life: "Raise your head to look at the bright moon, bow your head and think of your hometown." ”
Wang Chen drank with Mingyue in this way, and one jar after another of wine was drunk by Wang Chen.
I don't know how much wine was drunk by Wang Chen. A laugh suddenly came from behind Wang Chen: "Little Brother Daotian is drinking alone here?"
Wang Chen was in a bad mood, so he didn't notice the situation nearby. It wasn't until the people behind him spoke that Wang Chen said half-drunkly: "It turned out to be the city lord! I don't know why the city lord came here in the middle of the night?"
The people behind Wang Chen came to Wang Chen's side, and they didn't pay attention to their identities, and sat directly beside Wang Chen. The city lord of Deadwood City said to Wang Chen: "I happened to be passing by nearby, and I noticed someone here, so I came over to take a look, and then I found that it was the little brother Jun who was drinking. So just come and have a look. ”
Wang Chen took out another jar of wine from the Qiankun bag and handed it to the city lord of Deadwood City. He said to the city lord of Deadwood City, "Do you want to come to the altar as well?" ”
The city lord of Deadwood City grabbed the wine jar with one hand, and said heroically: "Then I will accompany Little Brother Jun for a drink today." As he spoke, he grabbed the jar in his hand and poured it down.
When Wang Chen saw this, he also laughed, and then drank without showing weakness.
The city lord of Deadwood City wiped his mouth and exclaimed, "Good wine." ”
When Wang Chen heard this, he also smiled smugly: "City Lord, I personally brewed this wine, and the City Lord is the first to drink it?"
The city lord of Deadwood City also smiled and said: "Little brother Jun, don't want the city lord to call me the city lord, if you don't see the outside, just call me Mu Lao." ”
Wang Chen is no longer visible, and they all say that drinking alcohol is a man's emotional enhancer, and it is true.
Mu Lao said to Wang Chen: "Daotian, I don't know why you are drinking here? If you don't mind, you can tell me something." ”
Wang Chen thought about it, and didn't feel that there was anything he couldn't say. told him about Yan Ruoyu, and also expressed his worries.
After listening to Wang Chen's narration of the whole thing, Mu Lao seemed to remember something, and also revealed a touch of sadness.
After Mu Lao poured another sip of wine, he said to Wang Chen: "Daotian, if Yan Ruoyu's girl is going to marry another person tomorrow, what will you do?"
Wang Chen was also stunned when he heard Mu Lao's question. He thought in his heart that if Yan Ruoyu really married someone else tomorrow. He was really uncomfortable in his heart.
Mu Lao continued: "If that girl really gets married tomorrow, will you bless it? Or will you stop it? Do you have the answer in your heart?"
Wang Chen raised his head and took another sip of wine, he already had the answer in his heart.
When Mu Lao saw Wang Chen like this, he also took a sip of wine. After hesitating for a while, Mu Lao said to Wang Chen in a low voice, "Daotian, do you want to hear my story?"
Wang Chen also noticed Mu Lao's sad appearance, and also knew that Mu Lao should have a sad past. Wang Chen saw that Mu Lao also wanted to talk about some old things, and he also said: "The younger generation is willing to listen to it." ”
After Mu Lao took another sip of wine, he said in a deep voice: "That was when I was young, and my talent was not outstanding. And because I was born in an ordinary family, I was very slow to cultivate during that time. ”
Mu Lao drank wine and said, "Next to my house, there is also an ordinary family, and they have a girl in their family. We have grown up together since we were children, so we can say that we are pro-plum sweethearts. ”
"But I never dared to show my heart to her. Until one day, her family found a rich family for her. That day, she personally approached me and showed me her heart. ”
Mu Lao said that this was also a stop. His eyes were filled with indelible sadness.
Wang Chen also guessed the ending later.
Mu Lao continued: "After she got married, I left the house to wander outside. Later, because of some adventures, my cultivation broke through quickly. When my cultivation came up, when I reached the innate realm. I went back again. I heard from her. It turned out that she committed suicide on the night she got married. ”
When Mu Lao said this, tears couldn't help but flow.
Mu Lao choked up and said, "Since then, my cultivation has not made the slightest progress. He also became the lord of this Deadwood City. Every night, I would go to her grave to have a look. I happened to be passing by here today and saw you. ”
"The biggest regret in my life is that I didn't take her away when she came to me that night. I thought that she would be happy if she married into a rich family, and she would not have to suffer with me. But I didn't expect it to turn out like this!" Mu Lao said in a trembling voice. In the end, Mu Lao was speechless.
Wang Chen was next to him and quietly listened to Mu Lao talk about his past. His mood also became sad with Mu Lao's statement.
Mu Lao was sad for a while, and gradually regained his mood. Mu Lao said to Wang Chen: "Daotian, let you see a smile." ”
Wang Chen said in a low voice: "Old Mu, this is a natural outpouring of feelings. How could the younger generation laugh? The younger generation felt sad for Mu Lao's feelings. ”
Mu Lao drank all the wine in his hand and said to Wang Chen: "Daotian, there are some things that you have to think about carefully, and I won't bother you here." I'm going to go there and have a look. ”
As he spoke, Mu Lao put down the empty wine jar in his hand and disappeared.
Wang Chen silently looked at the wine jar in his hand. Hearing Mu Lao's past, I remembered Mu Lao's question again. Wang Chen's heart was not calm at all.
Wang Chen thought that if Yan Ruoyu, Zhao Lili and Zhao Jiaqi, and even Lan Ling would marry someone else. His heart couldn't stand it.
Wang Chen had already made up his mind. He wants all these people, and no one can be missing, Wang Chen doesn't want to leave regrets in the future, so that he regrets it for the rest of his life.
After thinking about it, Wang Chen lifted the wine jar in his hand and drank all the wine in the wine jar.
