"Fellow, where is the home of the drunken old monster?"

Meng Yi and the others were dressed in plain clothes, dressed like the ordinary people, and they didn't look any different.

The people of Xiqiao Village saw that there were several people who came to look for the drunken old monster, so they couldn't help but take a look, for so many years, it was the first time that they came to visit.

The man carried a hoe, pointed not far away, and said, "Walk along the entrance of the village, and then walk a mountain road after the end, and the drunken old monster's home is in the bamboo forest halfway up the mountain behind the village." ”

"Thank you!"

After Meng Yi thanked him, he entered Xiqiao Village, the population in the village is small, not very vigorous, but the cleaning is also small and exquisite, each family has a small courtyard, a two-story hut built of bamboo, there is a small stream flowing through the village, and I don't know which women are washing clothes by the stream.

The days are not very prosperous, but they are also very warm.

I couldn't help but say that Meng Yi followed the man's directions, and soon found the home of the drunken old monster, whose home was far away from other farmers, and opened up a small world in the bamboo forest halfway up the mountainside.

Walking on the winding road, listening to the water and birds, the moist air soaks the skin, take a long breath, the fresh air invades the spleen and lungs, there is an indescribable feeling.

Halfway through, Meng Yi looked at the green scenery of the mountains, and couldn't help but quip: "The living environment of this old monster is really comfortable, but I am afraid that I will find a good place to retire, so I will live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and get drunk in the green bamboo." ”

The entourage laughed.

Not long after, Meng Yi had already come to the courtyard of the drunken old monster, the wall made of bamboo, which was very different from the stone and mud in the north, even if he stood outside the courtyard, he could stop the scenery in the courtyard in his eyes.

Meng Yi just wanted to knock on the door, but he heard a "crackling" sound from inside, and he didn't know what he thought was going on. And the people of Xiqiao Village have long been surprised.

While they were thinking about what was going on, an old man in rags and a sloppy face suddenly ran out of the thatched hut, and he chased after him all over the yard, scolding as he ran, probably because he was drunk, and he swayed left and right, and it was difficult to walk in a straight line.

"Stinky rat, Lao Tzu is not finished with you, I have knocked over the wine I have treasured for a long time, if I don't catch you today, the old man will not be a man."

"Don't run, stop for the old man!!"

"If you dare to run, I have to avenge the wine."

……

It turned out that several rats had knocked down his jar of wine in the process of escaping, and the jar fell to the ground, and all the wine was spilled.

The drunken old monster got carried away and caught the mouse, and didn't notice that there were people outside the courtyard at all, and in the end, Meng Yi took out his repeater and shot an arrow, which was stunned to shoot the mouse that he had been catching for a long time.

At this time, the drunken old monster noticed that there were several people standing outside the door.

Looking at the mouse that was shot to death, a strange look flashed between the drunken old monster's eyebrows, but soon he regained his drunken appearance, his eyes fell on Meng Yi's repeater, and said, "Oh, what a powerful repeater." ”

As he spoke, he ran straight towards Meng Yi, no, he came with a crossbow, and he didn't even look at them during the whole process.

He snatched Meng Yi's repeater, got close to the old face, carefully studied the structure of the repeater, and someone wanted to call him, but was stopped by Meng Yi.

It is said that the drunken old monster has a strange temper, and he doesn't care about outsiders and just let him go.

The drunken old monster played with the repeater, put it in his hand, and took a shooting position in different directions in the courtyard, but he didn't pull the trigger, and the crossbow bolt didn't really shoot out.

After he had had enough, the drunken old monster threw the repeater back to Meng Yi through the wall, turned around and left to go to the house, ignoring the guests like this, it was really rude.

But who is he? Drunken old monster! Rude or something is already the greatest respect for them, if it was usual, he would have opened his mouth to scold, and before you could speak, people have already served your ancestors for eighteen generations.

The entourage wanted to break in, anyway, it was a wooden door, and he could kick it open, but he was stopped by Meng Yi, he had a request for others, people don't know etiquette, but he definitely can't.

Liu Bei also looked at the thatched house three times before inviting Zhuge Liang out of the mountain, Meng Yi came to repair his body's meridians, how could he even care about this little rudeness.

Besides, these are nothing, when Meng Yi was looked down upon in the past, the insults he received were not limited to these.

Meng Yi just stood outside the door and waited, from early morning to noon, and from noon to dusk, standing for a full day, because the time was too long, Tianwu's feet were numb.

The little girl is also a little tenacious and ruthless, otherwise, it would be really difficult to stand up.

Tianwu said: "Master, we have been standing for a day, and the old man has not come out yet, besides, we are looking for evidence, is he the only one in Xiqiao Village who knows?" ”

Meng Yi snorted and said to his subordinates: "You guys, take the princess to rest for a while, just have me alone." ”

"No, how can the apprentice leave the master alone?"

"Silly girl, it's enough to be a teacher here, besides, the drunk old monster has a weird temper, even if we stand here, it's useless, you go to the rest meeting first, and then you need you to help me do something, how can I do it without strength?"

"Then tell the apprentice first, what do you need me to do?" Tian Wu said, shaking his head this time, but he is getting smarter and smarter, and he asked clearly before agreeing, in case he was lying to himself.

Meng Yi said with a smile: "The drunken old monster likes to drink, of course you need you, the eldest princess, to ask for some good wine, in the name of your princess, it should be no problem to find good wine." ”

"Hehe, it turned out to be begging for wine, give it to the apprentice, my father's wine cellar still has several jars of old wine, I'll send someone to get it."

"How can you say that you will take the good wine that your father treasured, and this matter needs to be resolved only if you come forward."

Tianwu thought for a while and said, "What Master said is reasonable, that's good, the apprentice will return to the palace to get wine, and he will definitely go back quickly, and he won't let Master suffer too much." ”

Tianwu is a simple and kind person, how can she know the true meaning of Meng Yi, in fact, it is to separate her, otherwise if she follows her, the subordinates of King Baiyue will also be inseparable, forming a surveillance on herself.

Seeing that Tianwu was about to leave, Meng Yi said to the people who accompanied him: "Your princess is going back to the palace, don't you go to protect her?" If something happens to the princess, you can't afford to take this responsibility. ”

Sure enough, those who monitored Meng Yi also left with Tianwu, as Meng Yi said, if something happened to the princess, they all had to lose their heads.

Besides, Meng Yi can't run in Xiqiao Village, and it will take less than a day to come and go at most, and he will be able to turn back at this moment tomorrow.

……

Tianwu went back to the palace to get wine, the best way to treat drunkards is to seduce them with wine, stay in the master for so long, and finally come in handy for herself, the little girl can't wait to get the best wine.

If the daughter raised by King Baiyue himself turns her elbow outward, I don't know if she will cry to death in the toilet.

After Tianwu and the others left, Meng Yi was left alone, he continued to stand outside the door and waited, while the drunken old monster knew that he was standing outside, so he kept the door closed, hiding in the house and drinking alone since ancient times.

In the dark night, the demon wind in Xiqiao Village was gusting, and from time to time the sound of wild beasts came from the mountains and forests, the sound of the wind blowing the forest leaves, and the sound of swishing, it was difficult for the timid people to be indifferent.

Unconsciously, Meng Yi had been standing outside the courtyard and waiting for a whole day, until the next morning, the sun was rising, and dawn pierced the sky.

Last night, many beasts in the mountains and forests wanted to get close to Meng Yi, but they were all scared away by Meng Yi's momentum.

He didn't close his eyes all night, Meng Yi was really a little sleepy, he endured his eyes, but he still kept closing, and when he was napping and about to go to sleep, something suddenly smashed over, just hitting his head.

Meng Yi was excited, thinking that he had been attacked by a sneak attack, and he woke up in an instant, but when he woke up, he saw the drunken old monster sitting in the courtyard and drinking on the stone table alone since ancient times.

Meng Yi glanced at it, the drunken old monster didn't speak, pointed to the water bladder under his feet, and clicked it twice, his meaning was already very clear, that is, let him take two sips.

After the water bladder is opened, a pungent smell of sake lees invades the heart and spleen, and the ancient wine-making technology is not as good as the modern one, whether it is distillation or filtration, it is far from the same, so there are many impurities in the wine.

The taste is not comparable to that of modern wines.

Meng Yi was also not hypocritical, he was already very tired, picked up the water bladder, and drank a big sip of the cow, after drinking, his brain was really sobered up a lot.

"Thank you, senior!!"

Meng Yi thanked him.

However, the drunken old monster pretended not to hear, and was still lying on the stone table, and at some point, the drunken old monster was drunk, and suddenly the poetry was flourishing, and he immediately recited to Qingtian:

"When you wake up, you can look at the leaves in the forest, and you must sleep in the forest when you are drunk. Day after day in the forest, drunk and sober year after year. Prosperity is all lonely, and looking back on the past is illusory. I don't want to bow before the carriage and horses, but I hope that the old man will die in the forest. ”

The drunken old monster is done in one go, with wine as the theme and the forest as the scenery, which seems to be a poem, but in fact it is an understanding of life, and his realm is only in this poem.

After hearing this poem, Meng Yi was even more convinced that this drunken old monster was not simple, and it seemed that he was also a person with a story.

"The predecessors are too lonely to recite poems and drink alone, why not invite one person to drink with them, wouldn't it be beautiful?!"

For the sake of Meng Yi's love for keeping a hard night, the drunken old monster did not hesitate to say: "When you cross the threshold, you don't have to wait for leisure, you want to chant and break your wisdom first; Taoist poetry, for you to listen, and look at your poetic points. ”

Meng Yi understood, he wanted to compose a poem by himself to see if he was qualified to drink with him.

So, with the help of wine, Meng Yi said: "A pot of wine and a glass of wine in the wind forest, drinking alone and having no blind date. Drunk lying on the bluestone to see the blue sky, raise a glass and sigh the geometry of life? Woohoo, but no friends, sad! Sigh!! ”

The drunken old monster could hear that the other party was sarcastically drinking alone and had no friends, and the corners of his mouth rose with a touch of arc, and said, "What's your name?" ”

"Meng Yi."

Meng Yi knew that he had been recognized by him.
