Chapter Eighty-Nine: Qu Gang
After a few days, standing in the corridor of the drunkard building again, Hu Shijiu only felt that his heart suddenly opened up, and the fear and worry that had been lingering since last night had been dispelled without a trace by the few words of Master Xu Qing.
It turned out that the master had already understood everything, did that mean that Steward Qu would return to the cellar safe and sound, and Sun Wu's treacherous plan would eventually fail?
Hu Shijiu looked back at Master Xu Qing's room reluctantly, and sighed in his heart, I don't know when I will be like Master, even though there is a lot of fog ahead, I can always see everything as clearly as I see a fire.
She looked back at it three times.
"Ah," Hu Shijiu bumped into a man head-on.
"Zhao Liu?"
Zhao Liu, who had slightly red eyes, was not very happy to see Hu Shijiu.
"You're here." He said in a thick, nasal voice.
"You...... Crying? Hu Shijiu was surprised to see that at the moment of speaking, Zhao Liu also wiped his face with his sleeve in a panic.
"Sun Wu is dead!" As he spoke, more tears began to fall.
Hu Jiu was stunned, she subconsciously turned her head to look downstairs, and it seemed that after a while, she could hear the arrogant voice on weekdays, and scolded angrily: "Who are you talking about?" â
However, the guys downstairs were busy and there was no figure of Sun Wu.
The feeling of chilling all over my body hit my heart like a ghost claw again, "Who died?" She asked, dumbfounded.
No one answered, Hu Shijiu slowly turned around, Zhao Liu had already walked away, and only heard his intermittent sobbing.
"Sun Wu is dead...... Sun Wu ......" Hu Shijiu turned around and hurried back to the old man Xu Qing's room, just about to knock on the door, however, she slowly put her hand down again.
Master, did you already know all this......
"Go back, Qu Gang is fine." A moment ago, Master Xu Qing's words rang in his ears again. Hu Shijiu stood in front of the door, slowly clenched his fists, turned around and strode away from the drunkard building, and rushed all the way back to the wine cellar.
"Nineteen! Steward seems to be back! Sure enough, as soon as he entered the wine cellar, Li Hetian ran up and said hurriedly.
Hu Nineteen nodded, and walked towards the hall where Qu Gang was always without touching the ground.
Surprisingly, the small door outside the corridor where the wine cellar was stocked with all kinds of fine wines was actually hidden.
The door at the end of the corridor connecting the hall was wide open.
Inside the house, Qu Gang lowered his head, and didn't seem to hear Hu Shijiu's footsteps coming in.
"Qu Guanshi," in the past few days of getting along in the wine cellar, Hu Shijiu has determined that Qu Gang has no ill will towards him, but after all, Sun Wu is his brother-in-law, and now there is no proof of his death, is it still meaningful to tell him that Sun Wu had tried in vain to ambush him together with Tuesday?
"Is there something wrong?" Qu Gang raised his head, it seemed that on this morning, he was much older.
"That ......," Hu Jiujiu thought for a moment, "mourning." â
Qu Gang nodded, "You already know?" â
"Hmm. I just got back from the Drunkard Building. Hu Shijiu said, his expression couldn't help but be a little gloomy. Although she has always been at odds with Sun Wuyi, such a big living person, now, when she says she is dead, she is dead......
"It's nothing, the government is looking for me because they found my dagger on Sun Wu's body." Qu Gang drank a glass of wine.
Dagger?
Hu Shijiu vaguely remembered that Chen Guo's laws and regulations stated that if he was armed for no reason in the city, he would go to prison, and Sun Wu, a guy in a restaurant, what should he do with a dagger?
"Sit." Qu Gang smacked the wine in his mouth and stretched out his hand to invite Hu Shijiu to drink with him.
Hu Shijiu sat down and took the wine glass in Qu Gang's hand, but did not drink the wine inside.
"It's been a long time...... Qu Gang looked at the wine glass in his hand, "it's been a long time since anyone has spoken to me." â
His expression was a little sentimental, and the usually irascible and serious condescending steward was like two people at this time.
"Where is your home?" He asked suddenly.
"Jiacheng." This time, Hu Shijiu was finally prepared, in her previous life, when she was interrogated by the old lady of the Han Mansion, she had already thought of such a famous place in advance.
It was a very prosperous place, so Hu Shijiu who "came" there was like a dandelion seed, and even if someone really wanted to investigate, it would only be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
This is something that is now in retrospect, but it has long been a matter of the past life, and it can't help but make people sigh infinitely.
"I'm from Shikawa."
Shikawa?
Whether it was in Hu Shijiu's previous life or in this life, in fact, except for Langjing of Chen Guo, she did not have the slightest impression of any place in the world.
"Sure enough, it's too remote......" Qu Gang laughed self-deprecatingly, and drank all the wine in his glass.
Seeing that he picked up the wine jug again, Hu Shijiu hurriedly said: "Qu is in charge, wine can relieve sorrow and add sorrow." â
"It doesn't matter." Qu Gang's eyes were a little red, "Xiao Maotou, do you know what good wine is?" â
In order to keep your mind clear all the time, to strive for the top in this huge wine cellar, in order to ...... In the past few years, although he was a wine cellar steward and used to be a lover of wine, Qu Gang had only tasted it before many famous wines.
But in the end, what did he get!
"Steward, you...... Don't be too sad......" Hu Shijiu was a little sympathetic to Qu Gang, and Sun Wutong's conspiracy on Tuesday that night formed a huge contrast with Sun Wu's strong hatred for Qu Gang and the unspeakable grief of the man in front of him.
"Qu Gang ......" Hu Shijiu hesitated, she wanted to open her mouth to tell Qu Gang everything she had heard.
"You know what? My hometown was not originally called 'Shikawa', it has a beautiful name. Qu Gang seemed to be drunk and unconscious, raising a glass with one hand and casually gesturing with the other, describing his hometown to Hu Shijiu.
Hu Shijiu swallowed the words that almost came out of his mouth.
"There, there were thousands of miles of fertile fields and flowers. Every spring, countless merchants stay here just to bring the exotic flowers and plants back to their hometown, so that they can take root and sprout. Even the flowers needed in this Langjing city are specially supplied from us. â
In front of Hu Shijiu's eyes, a fragrant picture unfolded with Qu Gang's description.
"Beautiful, isn't it? You also think it's beautiful? Qu Gang stared at Hu Nineteen and asked, and Hu Nineteen nodded hurriedly. But she didn't understand what this had to do with Sun Wu's cause of death and Qu Gang's grief.
After Qu Gang saw Hu Shijiu nodding, he smiled proudly, laughing and laughing, but his voice became slow and bitter. "It's such a beautiful place, in order to avoid the new assassin at that time, a good win river, so I changed my life to "Ichuan"! â
Hu Nineteen looked at Qu Gang knowingly, evasive? It seems that in her previous life, she had heard Han Mochen say it...... However, I have only heard of the so-called name of respecting the "prince of heaven and earth", and I have never heard of avoiding a county order......
"...... of Zhichuan" Qu Gang leaned beside several cases, stained with residual wine, writing a big word "įž¸".
"Look! That's it, it's such a history of thorns! You know what it's like there......"
Hu Shijiu shook her head, and immediately sat up straight, she realized that the beautiful and rich hometown in Qu Gang's mouth should no longer be what it used to be.
