Chapter 36: A Pot of Warm Wine

The snow is heavy, the east is white, and the sky is about to dawn.

In the bluestone alley of Daye Fang, Xu Buling, dressed in bloody clothes, staggered and walked with a four-foot long knife, and the blade rubbed against the bluestone ground to make a 'clatter-' sound, and there was no one in the alley in the early morning, but it did not attract the attention of others.

Last night in the underground palace of White Horse Village, it was very expensive to kill tigers and kill, and finally caught Zhu Manlong's old punch, and his body was tough and not injured, but the cold poison in his body couldn't be suppressed.

'Lock Dragon Gu' is a Miao Jiang poisonous Gu, Gu worms will be suppressed when they encounter spirits, otherwise they will produce cold poison all the time to erode the limbs and hundreds of remains, no matter if you don't go all out, it will be the end of blood vessels bursting and bleeding to death.

The broken jade roast in the gourd has been drunk, and although the indescribable stinging pain has been relieved a lot, it is still unbearable.

Xu Buling's footsteps were unsteady, exhaling a burst of mist in the severe winter cold, and slowly walked towards Sun's shop......

-----

The cold wind hunted, rolling up the dead grass and snow foam in the alley.

The dim light of Sun's shop was bright, and the old shopkeeper was putting down the bench from the table and setting it up neatly.

Click-

The sound of dragging knives came from far and near.

Shopkeeper Sun frowned, wiped his hands with a towel, walked to the banner of the wine shop and frowned, but saw a handsome man dressed in black, holding a four-foot long knife. The face is like a crown of jade, but it is covered with blood.

Shopkeeper Sun has opened a wine shop in the alley for a lifetime, and because of the good wine, the heroes who come to the capital like to drink a bowl here, and they have seen everyone and everything. Like this, the Jianghu guests who killed at night were covered in blood, staggered over to drink a bowl of wine in the early morning, and then closed their eyes safely appeared a few times.

Shopkeeper Sun was about to turn around to warm the wine, raised his eyes to take a closer look, but found that the man covered in blood was actually Xu Buling.

"Ouch! Childe, how did you get this way......"

Shopkeeper Sun was in a hurry, and hurriedly trotted forward, ready to support Xu Buling.

Xu Buling hooked the corners of his mouth, raised his hand and refused to be supported, walked into the wine shop with a long knife dripping blood, sat down at the wine table by the alley, and breathed a long sigh of relief:

"Shopkeeper, come to the pot of wine."

There was a lantern hanging in the wine shop, and the shopkeeper Sun took a few glances by the firelight, and saw that Xu Buling had no external injuries on his body, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Turning around, he fetches a warm flask by the stove and walks to him:

"Childe, what did you do last night? How can you kill someone with your own hands......"

Xu Buling raised his hand to take the flask, raised his head and poured it violently, the liquor overflowed from the corner of his mouth, washed away the blood stains on his chin, and also wet his clothes.

Grunt......

Two or two small pots, but the bottom was seen in an instant.

Xu Buling let out a long breath, finally relieved, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, untied the small package tied to his waist, and threw it on the table, making a muffled 'bang' sound, as well as the 'bang' sound of silver colliding.

"Sancai stole the shopkeeper's silver, I did something last night, and I got it back for you."

“…… This ......"

Shopkeeper Sun was stunned on the spot, turned his head to look at the bloody package on the table, and then looked at Xu Buling, who was full of murderous energy, his dim eyes gradually became anxious, and he slapped his knee suddenly:

"Ouch! Xu Gongzi, what are you doing here? Little old man, I just mentioned it in passing last time, why do you need to go to such great lengths to get the money back? How can this little old man return it, this wine has changed its taste when I drink it......"

As he spoke, he trotted to the stove, pouring hot water and looking for towels.

Xu Buling sat on the stool and eased slightly, the cold stinging pain in his heart gradually dissipated with the strong wine, his face improved, he leaned the long knife on the wine table, and chuckled:

"I'll do my personal business, just take care of it. Shopkeeper Sun doesn't need to be so polite, he really wants to repay the favor, a pot of wine is enough. ”

Shopkeeper Sun came over with a hot water basin and put it on the wine table:

"That being said, I still have to remember it. Jianghu people pay attention to happiness and enmity, but I am not from Jianghu people, alas~ Xiao Lao'er has nothing else, and the son will come over in the future, and the wine pipe is enough......"

Xu Buling thanked his chin, washed his frozen cheeks with hot water, and chuckled: "If you don't collect money when you drink, you will be embarrassed to come in the future." ”

Shopkeeper Sun opened his mouth, he had dealt with people all his life, and knew that it was useless to talk to this kind of chivalrous young man, so he had to nod with a wry smile, thought about it, and said again:

"Xiao Lao'er has opened a wine shop for so many years, and it is the first time I have met a person like Gongzi, who is much more refreshing than those heroes who are full of 'benevolence and righteousness'."

Xu Buling hooked the corners of his mouth: "That's because I don't break the law by killing people, and ordinary people can't be happy." ”

Shopkeeper Sun shook his head, but he had nothing to say.

After resting for a while in the wine shop, Xu Buling hugged the blood-stained long knife with a cloth, got up and walked towards Kuishou Street.

Shopkeeper Sun walked outside the wine shop, saw his back disappear, then shook his head and smiled, put away the package on the table, and continued to go around the small wine shop as in the past......

——

At the far corner of Bluestone Lane, Ning Qingye, who was dressed in a fox fur, held the bluewall stone bricks with his bare hands, and watched intently the scenes that happened in the wine shop.

After leaving the wine shop yesterday, she still wanted to wait for the weak foolish son to come over, but the shopkeeper Sun didn't accept her money, and said that she was not as good as the man who abandoned his wife and daughter, and she was a little angry in her heart, and she didn't want to go to the wine shop.

As soon as the shop opened today, Ning Qingye came over and waited at the corner of this alley. As she expected, that stupid son would come over every day to get a pot of wine, but what she didn't expect was that Xu Buling was covered in blood and staggered over with a long knife.

She knew how much pain Xu Buling would suffer if she was hit by the Lock Dragon Gu, and she thought that Xu Buling had encountered something last night.

It wasn't until she heard the conversation between Xu Buling and Shopkeeper Sun that she understood the reason.

Xu Buling also heard about the wine shop guy who was angry with his father and mother and stole the benefactor's money, so he ran to get the lost silver back.

Two hundred taels of silver is not even a dime a dozen for the prince of the vassal king, and it seems a little inexplicable to spend so much effort.

Ke Ning saw this scene at night, but understood why Shopkeeper Sun said that she was not as good as her father, who had long since disappeared.

Jianghu people pay attention to the road, see the uneven, draw a knife to help.

Seeing the poor people suffering, drawing their swords to help them regain the money without taking a penny, this is called chivalry.

Seeing the poor guest's family suffering and paying out of their own pocket to make up for the shortfall is called charity.

They are all well-meaning and admired, but not everyone is willing to accept alms.

is like the shopkeeper Sun, who will not die of hunger if she has craftsmanship, and she will not be fed by the food that comes to her, so she will not accept her money.

But it was the silver of Sun's shopkeeper, so he took it back and asked for a pot of wine as a reward. The shopkeeper Sun received it reasonably and comfortably.

To put it bluntly, she is not sophisticated, and no matter how high her martial arts are, she is just a kind-hearted girl, and she can't be compared with the real Jianghu guest.

Ning Qingye blinked, his cold eyes were real, and after seeing Xu Buling leave, he wrapped the fox fur on his body tightly and slowly walked back to the uninhabited courtyard......
