According to He Baozheng, the real gold in that jar of tiger bone wine is that it is soaked in a whole tiger whip! Where does this thing dare to let Zhao Brother drink, who is responsible for the accident? Stir-fried pickles with tender winter bamboo shoots are aged with medicinal strength, but they have a more pleasant effect than meat. One person is a bowl, everyone brings the coarse porcelain bowl to their mouth, and they all take a small sip of gold, so that the mellow aroma of the wine ripples in the mouth, such a superlative, who is willing to eat ginseng fruit in general with Zhu Bajie, and he doesn't even know what the taste is.

Everyone scooped a small mention, He Baozheng quickly sealed the wine again, then took out his sorghum, and said to Brother Zhao: "Second brother of the Zheng family, how much do you want to drink this wine, drink it openly, it's okay!" ”

Brother Zhao lifted the oilcloth, and the smell of inferior alcohol rushed to his brain, choking people dizzy. Brother Zhao said stiffly: "I don't know how to drink!" ”

A pot of fragrant and tender pheasant roasted bamboo rat meat was served. A large pot was placed on the table of this group of rough men, and several women gathered around a small table, on which were also placed a pot of meat and a pot of fried pickles with bamboo shoots. Liang Chuan really wanted to ask them to serve together, so that it would be more lively, but the atmosphere of this era is like this, women have no rules for serving at the table.

The chopsticks are clamped more often than the rain, and the three of them come and go, and a jar of self-brewed sorghum can't help but be so staggered, and after a while, another jar is brought over. He Baozheng said that in the past, there was not so much meat to eat during the Chinese New Year, and he was reluctant to drink so much wine.

Liang Chuan can actually drink a lot of this kind of wine, because of technical limitations, the so-called spirits at this time are simply pediatric for the wine of later generations, and the alcohol content is not on the same order of magnitude at all, Liang Chuan has drunk the sorghum of Kinmen, the strong taste, the throat is burning!

Tiger bone wine is a good thing, but unfortunately there is only one bowl, Liang Chuan also knows that this kind of good thing cannot be drunk non-stop like water, because it is less so it is more precious. He Baozheng's own sorghum is still a little sour and astringent, the wine-making process is not up to the strict level of later generations, he drank a few bowls and then pushed the wine to Brother Zhao, who knew that Brother Zhao couldn't even eat this kind of "light wine", alcohol allergy was serious, just two bowls of face and neck red like monkey fart, head dizzy, lying on the table and sleeping unconscious.

Liang Chuan's head was still very clear, but he was a little confused, and he slowly lay down.

Li Chu saw that Liang Chuan's head slowly lowered, and several women on the small table behind him were whispering about the affairs between their women, he picked up the bowl and saluted He Baozheng, and said, "We are all old." ”

He Baozheng sighed and said, "It's old." ”

"What about your child? Why didn't you see them come out? ”

"Child, I was so worried about them that my daughter married a gambler, and she didn't care about her family all day long, she only knew how to squander it in the gambling stalls, and the family had been out of food for several days. As for the son, he followed his brother-in-law to learn the same, and now he is also addicted to gambling, and he has been out for a few years, saying that he is going to break out of his personal appearance before coming back, and now he has no news outside, and he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive. ”

Wine is a man's aphrodisiac, a glass of wine in the stomach, hold in the heart of the words will feel unhappy, the so-called drunk after spitting the truth, the ancients did not deceive me. He Baozheng was an upright person, he didn't expect his children and grandchildren to be so bad, when his hair was gray, he still watched his children and grandchildren live so embarrassed, and his heart was even more unpleasant, he never confided in these family ugliness to outsiders, Li Chuyi played with him since he was a child, and he was like a brother at that time, and now goodbye, the feelings in his heart are finally vented.

He Baozheng poured another bowl and drank it all.

Li Chuyi himself picked up the bowl and took a sip. Putting down the bowl, he looked at He Baozheng and asked, "What happened to them?" ”

"Who?" He Baozheng was about to ask Li Chuyi who was asking, looking at his face, there was eagerness and confusion in his eyes, and he knew who Li Chuyi was asking. Raising his head, he thought about what happened back then, and said, "I also went to serve as a soldier after sixteen, you know." ”

"I know."

"He later sent a letter to his home, saying that that your part was ambushed by the party members, and they were all dead."

"It's all dead." 、

"Your father and mother saw that their two sons were all gone, and they cried all day and night, and then they were not in good health, so they left. After my sister-in-law took care of your family's funeral, she went to the northwest to find you, have you seen her? ”

"I saw her, she gave me a daughter with a birthmark on her arm." After speaking, Li Chuyi gestured in his hand, and then fell silent.

"What about the sister-in-law and the child?"

"Lost."

He Baozheng was a little worried: "Still alive?" ”

"I thought she would come to Fengshan with her child to look for me, so I came back."

"Alas. . . It's been more than ten years, and no one has ever come to your house. He Baozheng pointed at Liang Chuan and said, "Six or seven years ago, this kid and his mother-in-law stayed at your house, and I thought it was sixteen years ago. ”

"Sixteen is dead."

Li Chuyi's words did not carry a trace of fireworks, but it was even more uncomfortable to say it. The two of them sat there in a daze, each pouring wine into their mouths. He Baozheng didn't know how to say it, he had to go to the army because he couldn't eat enough, but when he returned home with one death and one injury, his parents were dead and his wife was separated, and there was nothing.

Liang Chuan sat there with his head bowed, listening to everything that should be listened to and what should not be listened to word for word. I sat there very embarrassed, listening to everything I shouldn't have listened to in my ears, and if I pat my ass and say that I went home, I would definitely be killed by He Baozheng and them. So Liang Chuan pretended to be drunk, staggered to his feet, looked at Yi Niang with sleepy eyes and said, "It's not early, Yi Niang, go home with Xiao Hai and a few of them." ”

He Baozheng saw that he was very drunk, and it was not a way for a few women to go to the broken grass house to sleep alone, so he said: "Don't go back at night, go to the ancestral hall next door for one night, where you can shelter from the wind and rain, it is much better than your two broken grass houses." ”

When Liang Chuan heard it, this idea was good, it was much stronger than his own broken grass house. Several women are weak, and now in winter, the wind is cold and the dew is heavy, and there is a place to shelter from the wind, no matter how broken it is.

The warm winter sun rises later than usual, but as spring approaches, it gradually rises early, and the crowing of the rooster wakes up the sleeping people.

Last night, several people were drunk and dizzy.

Wine is a good thing, it can make people forget their troubles, it can be used to strengthen people's courage, it can be confided, it can be nonsense, but it can't be repeated.

Liang Chuan discussed with He Baozheng, this ancestral hall is basically useless now, few people come to sacrifice and make offerings a year, many people in the village can't eat enough, who still has the filial piety to work for the ancestors.

If you are idle, you will be idle, so you will come out of the two empty rooms first, let the artists and their women live first, and the three men will be in the other room. He Baozheng said that it would be better to be a little popular, but just do a good job of hygiene, don't make it a mess when the time comes, and he is not easy to explain to others. A few people moved all the things to their He clan's ancestral hall, and this place was indeed much stronger than the grass house.

Liang Chuan ran back to the back of his home mountain and took a little gold and silver and put it in his arms, and now he still tries to use silver, after all, the gold is too conspicuous, and it is another storm to be targeted by someone with a heart. Fortunately, there is an old forest around, and there are no ghosts on weekdays, Liang Chuan picked up a lot of fallen leaves, and covered the bag of gold and silver.

After breakfast, He Bao explained to his mother-in-law, saying that he was going to Liangchuan to go to Xinghua County to do some business today, and he didn't know if he could come back for lunch at noon, and he didn't have to eat his rice before he came back. Liang Chuan brought his younger brother here, Li Chuyi didn't like to show his face, and he didn't like to follow Liang Chuan's buttocks, so it was better to leave him to take care of these women.

Before leaving, Yi Niang ran over in a hurry, Liang Chuan looked at Yi Niang with an embarrassed look and was shocked and angry, and thought that something had happened again, pulled Yi Niang aside, and asked Yi Niang in a low voice: "What's wrong?" Wrong face! ”

Yi Niang's face turned red because of anger, her two small fists were clenched tightly, and her body trembled slightly, Liang Chuan was anxious, and asked again what was going on, he had the impression that the four women were arranged for them yesterday, and no one else seemed to go in.

Yi Niang said angrily: "Third brother, have those beasts been retributed? ”

Liang Chuan couldn't help but listen to Yi Niang's radical and inexplicable words, didn't react, frowned and said, "Who?" ”

Lin Yiniang said: "It's those beasts who ravage the little hairpin on the mountain!" ”

Something must have gone wrong!

"What's going on?"

"Last night they were... Two of the three of them suddenly had a high fever, and their bodies were so hot that they couldn't do it, I asked them where they were uncomfortable, and they didn't dare to say, Xiao Hai held his lower abdomen, and he rolled in pain, and then I asked again, and one of them secretly told me that they had a very serious disease, and they were all tortured by those beasts! ”

"Bring the disease?" Liang Chuan looked at Yi Niang suspiciously, he was not a doctor, and it was impossible to know what kind of illness this was, Yi Niang was so anxious that she stomped her feet, leaned on Liang Chuan's ear and explained to him in a whisper. It turns out that this disease is a gynecological disease in later generations, as soon as Liang Chuan says it, he knows that Liang Chuan should have thought of it, they have been tortured in the mountains for so long, and if you want to talk about medicine, there is not even a minimum sanitary condition. After being tortured by so many people for so long, it's no wonder that his body can be healthy.

Liang Chuan walked straight to the room where Ye Xiaochai and the others slept, several women hid in the quilt, although they restrained their voices, they could already hear their painful moans without going in. Liang Chuan said to Yi Niang: "You boil some hot water and prepare it for them first, my brother and I hurriedly went into the city to ask for a doctor, their situation is very serious, I am afraid that it will cause great harm to their bodies in the future." Let's go and get back quickly. ”
