At dinnertime, Zhao Yi and Cui Shusheng finally met the mysterious Grandpa Song.

He sat on the kang, leaning on his body, a little old, but looking at Zhao Yi and Cui Shusheng's gaze, it gave the two of them a deep and bottomless feeling.

The two of them stood in awe and bowed.

Xi Lin is not only beautiful and spiritual, but also quite skillful in her hands, a table of unique rural farm dishes, so that Zhao Yi and Cui Shusheng, who have eaten too much cold water and dry food in the detention for a long time, are greedy.

Grandpa Song also took out the pine nut wine that he had been dusty for more than ten years, and for a time the food in the house was gluttonous and the wine was charming.

On the kang by the west window of the room, the four of them sat down, Xi Lin poured wine into the earthen bowl in front of everyone, Zhao Yi sat calmly, his mind was all on the wine and rice in front of him, Cui Shusheng looked a little restrained, and the chic of the past was gone.

After Xi Lin sat down next to Zhao Yi's subordinates, Grandpa Song picked up the wine bowl on the kang table, a kind smile appeared on the old face, and his voice was a little dry: "Tianfutang has not had a foreigner come for a long time, and it is fate that the two of you can come, so I will welcome you with this old pine nut wine." ”

Zhao Yi and Cui Shusheng both picked up the wine bowl in front of them, and when Grandpa Song finished speaking, Zhao Yi answered: "Grandpa Song and Miss Xilin's life-saving grace, Zhao Yi is very grateful in his heart, and he will repay him in the future." ”

Cui Shusheng laughed on the side: "Yes, if we hadn't met Xilin outside the mountain that day, we really don't know what to do." ”

After saying that, Cui Shusheng timidly peeked at Xilin, and saw that she was looking at him generously, Cui Shusheng suddenly felt a sense of shame, he is a disciple of the Shangshang clan who has read the sage book for many years, and he is also a person who has seen the world.

After some self-blame and criticism in his heart, Cui Shusheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, sat up straight, and tried his best to relax, and his chic and wishful demeanor in the past was gradually revealed.

"We countrymen can't understand those rules, we only know that saving people is a matter of course, and we don't want to be grateful, drink bars!" Grandpa Song shook his head and said.

An old man who has gone through countless vicissitudes, just that calm demeanor is awe-inspiring.

When the aged pine nut wine was entered, Zhao Yi and Cui Shusheng immediately praised it, with a strong fragrance, like the breath of mountains and rivers, which was refreshing.

Cui Shusheng shook his head and dropped his bookbag: "The entrance is clear and fragrant for a long time." Grandpa Song, I've never drunk such good wine, and the world often says that the elixir and jade liquid are nothing more than that. ”

Xi Lin sneered, and said with a smile while pouring wine for everyone: "What kind of elixir jade liquid, it's just picking some pine nuts from the mountains and putting them in the cellar, and after a while, it will become wine, and everyone in the village drinks this during the New Year's holidays." ”

"This wine was made by Celine single-handedly, and this child's hand is skillful. Grandpa Song looked at Cyrin and praised.

Xi Lin was praised by Grandpa Song in front of people, and two blushes suddenly flew on her face, and when she looked at Zhao Yi again, her eyes were full of shyness, but she was very happy in her heart.

Since entering the house and sitting down, Zhao Yi's heart has been a little flustered, he felt a trace of uncomfortable aura in the courtyard inexplicably, and the intuitive instinct honed on the battlefield for many years made him always vigilant in his heart.

The old man and the girl in front of him were simple and enthusiastic, treating themselves as kind as family, and there was no hint of hypocrisy, Zhao Yi was secretly ashamed in his heart, was he too nervous?

Two bowls of pine nut wine, Cui Shusheng opened the chatterbox, according to him, in the Shilin of the Gale Dynasty, drinking and talking about it is an elegant thing, whether it is in a high position in the temple, or living in the hidden mountains and forests, those scholars and scholars are proud of being able to talk about wonderful theories.

And in the south of the Yangtze River, where Cui Shusheng grew up, this wind is particularly popular.

At this time, the wine was down, and although Cui Shusheng did not start the topic to explain any wonderful theories, the conversation was full of interest: "Grandpa Song, why do the people in our village close the door to pray for blessings on the first day of the new month?"

For the curiosity of this village, Zhao Yi is no less than Cui Shusheng, seeing Cui Shusheng asking, he hurriedly put down his chopsticks, sat up straight and looked at Grandpa Song on the left.

The old man was not surprised by the curiosity of the two, and after taking a sip of wine, he put down the yellow-brown earthen bowl and said, "Do you know why we are called Tianfutang here?"

Zhao Yi and Cui Shusheng shook their heads with wide eyes.

Even Celine stopped and sat upright listening to Grandpa Song.

"Tianfutang, as the name suggests, is a blessed place from heaven. ”

Grandpa Song narrowed his eyes and said quietly: "It is rumored that in ancient times, this was a desert where no grass grows, until one day, born with a vision, a sacred mountain fell from the sky, covering this desert, clear streams flowed down from the sacred mountain, converging into a river, grass and trees grow, the earth changed the previous desolation, into green mountains and green water, full of vitality. Later, our ancestors fled here and took root here, naming it Tianfutang, believing that this is a blessed land given to us by God, so that our ancestors can live and work in peace and contentment. ”

"Grandpa Song, do you mean the South Mountain when you say Heavenly Mountain?" asked Cui Shusheng.

Grandpa Song nodded.

Cui Shusheng thought for a moment and said: "I once read in an ancient scroll, saying that in ancient times, suddenly one day, the sky cracked, lightning and thunder, the wind and clouds changed, countless meteors pierced the sky, and huge mountains fell from the sky and smashed to the earth. It took nearly a hundred years for the ancient saints and saints to lead people to overcome thorns and thorns, and it took nearly a hundred years to calm down the disasters on the land of red dust, and people rebuilt their homes and lived a peaceful life. ”

Xi Lin, who was sitting on Cui Shusheng's left hand, stared at Cui Shusheng with bright eyes, and praised: "Brother Cui, you know so much! Did you say that our holy mountain also flew down from the sky at that time?"

After receiving Xilin's praise, Cui Shusheng drank a mellow wine that was more fragrant than the pine nut wine in front of him, and he was a little pleasantly complacent.

Grandpa Song glanced at Zhao Yi and saw that he was bowing his head in contemplation, so he said: "I think so, the ancestors came to thank God for giving us this blessed land to live and work in peace and contentment, and secondly, to pray for the holy mountain to bless our lives with peace and prosperity, so on the first day of the new year of each month, we will pray behind closed doors, and over time, this tradition has been passed down." ”

"This is indeed a blessed land, which not only blesses the villagers to live and work in peace and contentment, but also saves the lives of our brothers and sisters in a critical moment. After receiving Xilin's praise, Cui Shusheng spoke much more confidently and generously.

"You still have to thank Grandpa Song, he is the gatekeeper of our Tianfu Hall, and outsiders can't enter without his permission. Celine laughed.

Cui Shusheng hurriedly picked up the wine bowl, first glanced at Zhao Yi opposite, and then said generously to Grandpa Song: "Zhao Yi, let's toast Grandpa Song together and thank him for helping in times of crisis and saving the lives of both of us." ”

Zhao Yi picked up the wine bowl and looked at Grandpa Song, his eyes were sincere, but he didn't speak.

"God has the virtue of a good life, and the old man only accumulates a blessing for himself, and does not want to be grateful. ”

Zhao Yi is not good at this kind of chatter on the wine table, he has stayed in the barracks all these years, because of the frequent wars, the number of times he can get together to drink with his brothers is also only a handful, and when he gets together, most of the time he is in a heavy mood, and he has no intention at all.

So much so that Cui Shusheng and Jiang Wenyu often say that Zhao Yi is a stuffy gourd, and he farts more than he talks.

Grandpa Song has been persuading him to drink, and Xilin is also very cooperative in pouring wine in time, plus this pine nut wine is indeed attractive, Zhao Yi listened to their chatter while drinking, and unconsciously he was already drunk, and he was a little dizzy.

With a ruddy face and rolling eyes, Zhao Yi was already a little feminine, and at this time she looked even more beautiful, which attracted the attention of Xilin on the side.

Cui Shusheng is not much better, his alcohol consumption is a little worse than Zhao Yi's, the alcohol is surging, and his tongue is already a little stiff when he speaks, but he still keeps moving, and when he waves his hand, the book's business is undoubtedly revealed.

Grandpa Song didn't know when, he had already lit a dry cigarette and smoked it with his body.

The smoke fills the room, adding to the drunken atmosphere.

Xi Lin was busy putting vegetables in the bowls of the three of them, of course Zhao Yi was taken care of, which made Cui Shusheng on the side complain again and again, it seemed that he had wine to strengthen his courage, Cui Shusheng said sour words, and he was not as embarrassed as before, which made Zhao Yi a little embarrassed, but fortunately, his face was already red after drinking, but he couldn't see his shyness and crampedness.

Celine just smiled, still generous and innocent.

After Grandpa Song took a few puffs of dry tobacco, he looked up at Zhao Yi and said, "I heard that Xi Lin said that you are going to leave?"

Zhao Yi nodded and said: "My injury is almost healed, there are some things waiting for us to do, it has been delayed for so many days, we want to leave tomorrow." ”

Xi Lin, who was bowing her head to pick up rice, listened to Zhao Yi's words, paused, her face became a little gloomy, she buried her head lower, and ate silently.

Grandpa Song put the dry tobacco stick aside, nodded and said: "Since this is the case, I won't keep you, even if I see you off today, we don't have anything else here, this pine nut wine is enough." ”

After speaking, she gave Xi Lin, who just raised her head, a look, and Xi Lin hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, straightened up and poured wine for everyone.

Maybe it was gratitude in her heart, or maybe she was reluctant to leave, even Xilin took a big sip of the wine bowl.

It was getting late, and Celine stepped down from the kang to light the lamp.

Zhao Yi and Cui Shusheng on the kang were already tilted, their eyes were drunk, and Cui Shusheng still said loudly.

"Grandpa Song, aren't the people in our village going out to see the outside world?"

Grandpa Song leaned against the wall under the window, pressed his eyelids, smoked a dry cigarette one by one, and raised his eyes from time to time to look at Zhao Yi who was leaning crookedly.

He exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "What do you do when you go out, there's nothing missing here." ”

Although he said this, Grandpa Song's eyes flashed a trace of helplessness, and he suddenly glanced at Zhao Yi through the smoke, and then lowered his eyebrows and smoked silently.

Grandpa Song's subtle expression, the three people on the side didn't pay attention.

Immediately, Grandpa Song raised his eyes again and said, "Our Tianfu Hall is not just a casual place, we have to have a fate." ”

The lights on the table flickered, and the figures on the wall were heavy, and no one was silent for a while.
