Chapter 13: Daughter Red

There really are people!

With a "squeak", the wooden door opened on its own. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The house was a little dim, but fortunately they could still see the road under their feet, so Ma Xiaojun and the others had to move forward cautiously, for fear of bumping into the shelves on both sides.

"Smack!"

With a crisp applause, the room suddenly became very bright, the change of light made Ma Xiaojun's pupils shrink, and in front of a shelf, a thin man with a beard was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed.

The man looked to be in his forties, but he was so thin that his cheekbones protruded, and with his thick brown beard and pale complexion, he looked a little scary.

The man's eyes slowly opened, first glanced over Alexander's body, and finally fell on Ma Xiaojun's body, and when he saw Ma Xiaojun's face clearly, the man's eyes flashed.

"You're ready to go out." The man spoke, still in a hoarse voice, but it was addressed to Alexander.

Alexander was about to refuse, but an irresistible force came and pushed him out, and the wooden door was shut.

"Your Excellency, what are you?" Although Ma Xiaojun was puzzled, he could see that the person in front of him should have no malicious intent.

"I don't know if you have any alcohol, but I have a story, do you want to hear it?" The man's eyes were fixed on the front, and Gu Zi said.

Ma Xiaojun didn't even have a chance to refuse, because he had already continued, and it seemed that he was suffocated.

"My name is Thomas, but I also have a name, called Li Bai."

Ma Xiaojun was shocked, in his opinion, this world and the earth have no connection at all, but he heard the name of the great poet Li Bai in this mouth, how could he not be surprised? I didn't know what to say when I opened my mouth for a while.

When he said this, Thomas's squinted eyes kept annotating Ma Xiaojun's every move, and when he saw Ma Xiaojun's expression change, his eyes burst with a radiance of hope, and he continued:

"Forty-eight years ago, I remember it very well. Don't care how old I am, I just look young. Forty-eight years ago, an Oriental came to my shop, and he wanted a spell scroll, I don't remember, but he couldn't get the Warcraft crystal nucleus I wanted at that time. ”

"Funny, right? Because he didn't have those dog-like demonic beast crystal nuclei, I drove this Oriental away. Haha, what a big idiot I'm in! ”

"Thankfully, a few days later, the Oriental man came again, and this time he was in a completely different state than before, he smelled bad all over his body, yes, I thought so, his face was as red as a monkey's ass."

"He just staggered over and asked me for a scroll, and he had a bottle in his hand."

At this, Thomas's voice stopped abruptly, his eyes closed, as if he had fallen into a long memory, and his beard trembled slightly with the corners of his mouth pursed.

"Do you know what's in that Oriental bottle?" After a long time, Thomas opened his eyes.

"Wine." Ma Xiaojun replied.

"That's right, a wine I'll never forget." Thomas narrowed his eyes and shook his head gently, as if he was reminiscing about the original taste, but in the end he reluctantly returned to reality and said three words: "Daughter Hong." ”

"It's a nice name." Ma Xiaojun stretched out his hand to cover his face to hide the shock in his heart at the moment, although he had a premonition before, but when Thomas said these three words, he still felt a strong shock.

Ma Xiaojun thinks that he is a nervous person, if it sounds good, it is called Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his color remains unchanged, no matter what kind of thing he faces, he will not ask why, but will want to do what to do next, so in the face of crossing, facing Atlantis Castle, he has never been really shocked.

This is clearly wine from the earth, how can it appear here!

The only plausible explanation may be that the Orientals of this world also have a daughter red wine, but Thomas's next words also stifled this only reasonable explanation.

"The Oriental man drank with me for three days, and he was so drunk that he vomited everywhere, but I didn't, I just kept singing and enjoying that happy time; Then he gave me an oriental name, Li Bai, and when I asked him what it meant, he said, in the East, this is the name of a poet known to everyone, a poet who loves wine as much as his life. ”

"The Oriental man left, and before he left, he said that he would come back to drink with me in a month, so I started to wait, and waited until today, exactly 48 years and 80 days."

"I never saw him again, never drank that kind of wine again, and many times after that, there were many Orientals in my shop, but without exception, none of them had heard of Li Bai, and they didn't know that their daughter was red."

Thomas's story was finished, but Ma Xiaojun felt that a huge mystery appeared in front of him.

In addition to himself, there are earthlings who have been here, who is that person? How did he get here?

According to Thomas, the Oriental had a month-long appointment with him, but he never showed up again, so it was clear that he had some problem and could not cross again, or died suddenly?

"Do you remember his name?" Hiding all the mysteries in his heart, Ma Xiaojun asked.

"He didn't tell me." Thomas came out of his memory, shook his head, and then raised a meaningful smile, "All right, young man, my story is finished, where's your wine?" ”

"What wine do you want?" Ma Xiaojun collected his mood and asked.

"Daughter Red." Thomas looked at Ma Xiaojun with an affirmative look on his face and said, "I can see that you are the same kind of person as that Oriental." ”

"Okay, I'll go get it now." Ma Xiaojun left a sentence and walked out the door.

Alexander was waiting anxiously at the door, and Ma Xiaojun didn't have time to explain to him now, so he walked away in a few words and hurriedly walked out.

Daughter Hong, in fact, is one of the rice wine, also known as Huadiao wine, which is sold in every supermarket, so it didn't take much time, Ma Xiaojun appeared in front of Thomas again with a jar of wine, of course, the trademark on the wine jar was torn off by him.

Three times and two times to open the jar, the mellow aroma of rice wine spread, Thomas did not drink it impatiently as Ma Xiaojun expected, but like a child, he held the unsealed wine jar in his arms, and two lines of tears slipped down his face:

"That's the scent...... Thank you, young man, what's your name? ”

"Ma Xiaojun."

"Okay, horse, please leave me alone for a while, you can look at what I have on the shelves, and you can take the same as you like." Thomas hugged the jar tightly and waved at Ma Xiaojun.

Sure enough, it was a person with a story, Ma Xiaojun no longer hesitated and walked towards the surrounding shelves.

On the dusty shelves, there are all kinds of scrolls, divided into several types, including combat, life, and healing.

Ma Xiaojun looked at them one by one, these wonderful scrolls seemed to take him into a new world, looking at the introduction on the scrolls, Ma Xiaojun felt that he wanted everything.

After a few steps, he walked up to Thomas, who had already started drinking, and asked with a smile, "How does it taste?" ”

Thomas poured another glass of wine, took a sip, and smiled pleasantly, and replied.

"Thomas, I still have two jars of wine here, a total of three scrolls for you, what do you think?" Ma Xiaojun took out the other two jars of rice wine from the Ocean Star, which he had prepared when he went to the supermarket just now, not that he didn't want to buy a few more jars to prepare, but he was in a hurry and had not enough cash on his body.

"Naturally, there is no problem, you just have to take it." Thomas's eyes were just fixed on the jar, and he didn't even lift his eyelids before agreeing.

Ma Xiaojun picked one of the three types of scrolls and said goodbye to Thomas, but before leaving, Thomas said a drunken nonsense: "Everything is fake, only wine is real." ”
