Gu Huacheng was stunned suddenly.

"Didn't Master just say that I can learn anything I want?" Jiuniang tilted her head to look at Gu Huacheng, smiling harmlessly.

After a long while, Gu Huacheng asked, "weishenme...... Is it a dream? ”

"I think it's a nice name." Jiu Niang grinned. "Besides, didn't Senior Brother say that Menghui is the strongest wine in the wine that Master has ever brewed? Jiu Niang felt that if I could overcome myself and dare to brew even my dreams, what wine would I dare not brew in the future? ”

Gu Huacheng didn't answer directly, just glanced at Fusang meaningfully, and then turned around and went out to call the coachman Wang.

Jiuniang and Fusang looked at each other, and no one knew what Gu Huacheng was thinking. There was no silence all the way, Gu Huacheng didn't drink anymore, but he was always in a daze at the wine gourd, and often couldn't even hear Fusang and Jiuniang talking to him.

Five days later, they finally arrived at the Beihu border.

The endless yellow sand desert makes people feel a kind of pride and ambition in their hearts for no reason.

Gu Hua paid the silver to the Wang coachman, and the Wang coachman waved his hand: "The young master has already given it before." ”

"That's the fare when you came, and now that you're in Beihu, how are you going to go back?" Gu Huacheng looked at the somewhat sluggish expression of the coachman, and couldn't help but stuff the silver into his hand, and instructed, "There should be Hu merchants who go to Yecheng to do business in the next few days, you can let them give you a ride." ”

After speaking, Gu Huacheng personally took the reins and drove the carriage away from the coachman's side.

Jiu Niang lifted the curtain, glanced at it lightly, and retracted her head. "Master. Where are we going? ”

Fusang glanced at Jiu Niang and felt that Jiu Niang was a little suspicious of having nothing to say this time.

Gu Huacheng glanced back at the two of them. He smiled slightly: "Didn't Fusang come with his teacher last year?" Let's go live there. ”

"The tulou?" Fuso asked.

Gu Huacheng nodded and concentrated on catching up with the car.

Jiu Niang also retracted her head. Pulling Fusang and asking, "Senior brother, do you know where you live?" ”

Fusang nodded: "Well, since the master has said so, it is estimated that it is still the same tulou." It's not good, every time Master comes, he lives in a tulou. ”

As they spoke, a few of them had already arrived in front of the tulou.

Jiu Niang jumped out of the car, looking at the dilapidated door and the yellow abrupt courtyard wall in front of her, a little stunned. It turns out that this is the style of the desert? How do you look like the loess slope in your memory?

Fusang naturally didn't know what Jiu Niang was thinking, and looked at Jiu Niang in a daze. So he went to pull her and said, "Senior sister, hurry up and move our wine with your senior brother and me." ”

"Oh." Jiuniang nodded, and hurriedly helped Fusang move the wine down.

When she left Yecheng, Jiu Niang remembered that Fusang had filled ten jars of wine in the dark grid, and one jar was used to make thrushes, and two jars were given to King Yu.

Jiuniang couldn't help but be a little surprised. "Senior brother, this wine ......"

"How?" Fusang glanced at Jiuniang and said, "Do you think the number is wrong?" ”

Jiu Niang nodded. Began to wrench his fingers and count with Fuso.

Fuso Hahadaxiao: "Have you forgotten how you made all that wine?" ”

Jiu Niang was a little stunned, frowning slightly: "No matter how you do it, it is impossible to send out some or ten jars of wine." ”

"Senior sister. We brought the thrush. Naturally, the more heavy the wine, the more fragrant it is. So, maybe we'll be in Yecheng. The thrush in that jar has become a fine wine that can be praised by the master. And the ...... we gave to King Yu at the beginning Senior sister, at that time, you and Brother Wei mixed the wine together, and the two canceled each other, and our wine was naturally still a lot of wine. ”

Looking at Fusang's back, Jiu Niang was a little speechless.

Reluctantly followed behind Fusang and moved those wine jars to the tulou one by one, and Jiuniang opened her eyes again.

This tulou that looks tattered on the outside is actually a different world inside. In the middle is a large courtyard, surrounded by loess pillars. If it weren't for those upstairs, this pattern would be a bit like the courtyard houses of old Beijing.

When Jiuniang and the others entered, they saw Gu Huacheng standing in the courtyard and an old woman was talking about something, and she didn't know what she said, so the old woman glanced at them from the corner of her eye. Gu Huacheng also stopped talking and patted the old woman's hand.

"Fusang, Jiuniang, come here." Gu Huacheng beckoned to the two.

"Hey, here we go." Fusang responded, signaled Jiuniang to put down the wine jar first, then rubbed her hands on her body, ran over with a smile, and called at the old woman before: "Hello dumb woman." ”

Jiuniang also followed, glanced at Gu Huacheng, and then at Fusang, zuihou looked at the old woman, and learned Fusang to say, "Dumb woman is good." ”

The old woman, who was called a dumb woman, nodded with a smile with cloudy eyes, reached out to grab Fusang and Jiuniang, and babbled something.

Fusang pulled Jiuniang with his free hand: "When I met the dumb woman, the dumb woman was like this, junior sister, the dumb woman is very haode." ”

"Hmm." Jiuniang nodded and didn't say anything.

But I don't know that the hand holding Fusang suddenly let go, turned her head and stared at Jiu Niang tightly, holding one of Jiu Niang's hands with both hands, and a strange brilliance flashed in her eyes. There is a "ho-ho-ho" movement from his mouth.

Jiu Niang was startled, and glanced at Gu Huacheng with some shock. saw Gu Huacheng staring at the dumb woman, his face full of disbelief.

"Master, Master......" Jiuniang called Gu Huacheng in a dumb voice, but Gu Huacheng still didn't move.

Fusang, who was taken aback by the mute's movements before, also came back to his senses at this time, looked at Jiuniang, whose wrist was tightly held by the dumb woman, and anxiously stepped forward to help.

An elderly woman, but such a big liliang, no matter how hard Jiuniang and Fusang tried, they couldn't break free from the dumb woman.

Fusang was angry, turned his head and shouted, "Master, Master!" What are you thinking? Can't you see that my sister is about to be strangled to death by a dumb woman? ”

Gu Huacheng suddenly shook his head and glanced back at Jiu Niang. His face turned pale instantly.

He took a few steps forward and grabbed Jiu Niang's wrist. looked at the dumb woman and said softly: "Dumb woman, this is not her." ”

The dumb woman stared at Gu Huacheng. But seeing that Gu Huacheng didn't have the slightest intention of backing down, he finally let go.

Jiu Niang retracted her hand suddenly, rubbed the circle of bruises on her wrists, and glanced at the dumb woman.

The dumb woman still stared at Gu Huacheng, slowly closed her eyes, and the bean-sized tears rolled down the dumb woman's ravine-horizontal face, which made people feel shocked.

Gu Huacheng patted Jiu Niang's shoulder and asked softly, "Are you okay?" ”

Jiuniang raised her head and looked at Gu Huacheng's expression. The corners of his mouth pursed.

At night, Jiu Niang lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and Gu Huacheng's words seemed to have been lingering in her ears. The phrase "Dumb woman, this is not her." ”

Who's not?

Weishenme Since coming to Beihu, Gu Huacheng's whole person is wrong, and this Beihu seems to be hiding a huge secret, what kind of thing can make Fusang, who is the same brother as Gu Huacheng, know nothing?

Jiu Niang turned over. He sat up suddenly.

Under the hazy moonlight, a rickety figure stood in front of her bed, like a camera in a horror movie, as if the light was coming. Jiu Niang could see a bloody face.

Jiuniang looked at that figure, didn't dare to make a sound, and silently thought in her heart that she didn't believe in ghosts and gods.

Suddenly, a thought crossed me. Jiu Niang turned over and got out of bed suddenly, and went to a lamp and candle from the bedside: "Dumb woman? ”

The other party did not move.

Also. The dumb woman is originally dumb, how can she answer herself.

It's just such a toss. The fear in Jiu Niang's heart has also been alleviated a lot. After touching it for a long time, I finally touched the fire fold, and when I was about to light the lamp and candle, the figure over there suddenly spoke.

"Hey......"

Such a clear sigh did not look like the words of a mute man at all.

Jiu Niang's fire broke for a long time, but it still fell to the ground, and the moment the lights went out, Jiu Niang still saw the face of the dumb woman.

"Scaring you?" The dumb woman asked.

Jiuniang shook her head, nodded again, and looked at the dumb woman who lit the lamp, not knowing what to say.

"I haven't heard of him taking in apprentices in years." The dumb woman sat down next to Jiu Niang and said slowly, "At that time, he was not very old, and the boy from Fusang was even younger, so I am afraid that I don't remember that he has already seen me." At that time, his master had just gone. He is only a teenager, and he is as proud as Yu Jianniang. It was here that he took the girl, who looked like you......"

Jiuniang felt that she didn't have to listen to the plot later, but her body was only ten years old, and she hadn't grown up, so why did she look like this. Jiuniang cautiously glanced up at the dumb woman who was stuck in the memories of her aunt and couldn't extricate herself, and couldn't help but interrupt her.

"Mother-in-law, I'm only so young, why am I so ...... like me?"

"Eyes, your eyes, are very similar to hers." The dumb woman sighed. "Child, you don't know, at the beginning, if it wasn't for Cheng'er's master, maybe Cheng'er's lifelong event would have ended, and it wouldn't have given birth to so many things later."

Jiuniang listened to the words of the dumb woman, and probably sorted out something.

Gu Huacheng comes to Beihu every year, indeed for the people he once had on the tip of his heart. Gu Huacheng once swore for that woman that he would become famous and marry her after becoming famous, but that woman chose to marry someone else after a long wait.

"So the woman is ...... now"

"Dead." The dumb woman shook her head, "Fubo! She was only married for a year, and she went to the ...... during childbirth One corpse, two lives. It's hard for Cheng'er's child, and he comes back every year to worship. ”

Jiuniang felt an indescribable emotion lingering in her heart, and she only felt a little sour in her heart. She glanced at the dumb woman and asked another question: "Mother-in-law is obviously not dumb, why did the senior brother replace you with a dumb woman, and the master never corrected it?" ”

"It's just a title, by the way, I heard that you are prone to wine rash when you drink alcohol, and you feel bad when you smell alcohol?" The dumb woman smiled, and her eyes were full of kindness when she looked at Jiu Niang.

Jiuniang was stunned, and then nodded a little embarrassed.

"Tomorrow, the old woman will watch you make wine."

"Huh?" Jiuniang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly asked as if she thought of something, "Mother-in-law Weishenme came to talk to me about those words?" ”

"What words? The old woman has a bad memory and forgets it. (To be continued......)
