Chapter 67: The Middle-Aged Man

Xu Zizhen is a very affectionate person, he remembers the kindness of Governor Wen to him, he remembers the grace of Qian Tongzhi and Duan Chen to fight for him, and he also remembers the grace of Wang Manfu and his wife and Cheng Bo's hiding, but today there is another Hu Qing's grace of letting go.

Alas, human favor is greater than the mountain!

Uncle Cheng settled Xu Zizhen, he himself lived here, and gave Xu Zizhen medicine and three meals a day every day, Xu Zizhen was originally in good health, and he had taken Bodhi Dan to strengthen his body, coupled with Uncle Cheng's careful care, his injuries were recovering at a very fast speed.

Xu Zizhen kept all this in his heart, and didn't say too much thanks to Uncle Cheng, he has been quietly recuperating from his injuries in the past few days, and at the same time, he has thought about it very clearly.

Mo Li'er is nowhere to be found, Rong Xi and Liuli don't know where they went, Hua Ye is also dead, and even He Liang doesn't know life and death, these people he knew after coming to the Northern Song Dynasty, the only one he can find now is the Wen Governor's Mansion in Lanzhou.

Seeing that the Jin Kingdom is about to invade, and the Great Song Dynasty is extremely extravagant and corrupt, the Wen prefect on the border does not know what kind of pressure and dilemma he will face.

The transfer of Governor Wen and the death of Hua Ye all deeply stimulated Xu Zizhen's originally comfortable heart, he believed that even if he was not familiar with this history, with a little more knowledge than others, it was enough to change some things, so he made a decision in the past few days - to go to the northwest!

In the past few days, although Xu Zizhen said that he was in the wine cellar, he couldn't drink because of the injuries on his body, which really suffocated him, and he was looking at the wine jars full of houses, but he couldn't take a sip.

He took the wine and did not open it and drink it immediately, but carried the wine jar up to the Yu Mountain not far away, the mountain was not high, and it was not long before he climbed to the top of the mountain, chose a leeward place and sat down, looking at the north from afar.

Today was the day of his father's death, although it was more than 800 years later, he opened the mud seal of the wine jar, took a big sip, and couldn't help but praise: "Good wine!" ”

This wine is mellow and strong, better than the wine he drank last time in Taihu Lake Water Village, and he suddenly found that there was a white red paper pasted on the altar, with a few words written on it - Lin'er Miyue, and then a row of birthday eight characters.

He suddenly reacted, this is what Wang Manfu buried for his son back then, as a custom here in Jiangnan, he buried a jar of wine when his son was full moon, and took it out when he became a prince or got married, which means champion red, but this child had a hard life and had died, Wang Manfu simply gave this jar of good wine to his benefactor.

Xu Zizhen thought of the child, couldn't help but sigh, tilted the wine jar slightly, poured some on the ground, looked at the north and said loudly: "Dad, Mom, my son is going to the northwest, if I am still alive at this time next year, please drink good wine again!" After saying that, he took a big gulp, and poured some more on the ground.

Suddenly, he found that there was a grave not far from him, but there was no tombstone in front of the grave, and there was a middle-aged man sitting next to the grave, looking at the wine in his hand with blazing eyes. ”

The man glanced at him and nodded, "Okay." ”

Xu Zizhen handed him the wine jar, and the man poured a big sip at the mouth of the altar, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he praised: "Good wine!" ”

"This is an authentic champion red, how can it be bad?" Xu Zizhen smiled, then looked at the grave beside the man, and asked, "This is your relative?" Why don't you even make a monument? ”

The man squinted at him slightly, and finally shook his head, looked at the tomb and said, "This is my brother, his name...... It is inconvenient to erect a monument. ”

There was obvious anger and helplessness in his tone, Xu Zizhen stopped asking for a moment, picked up the wine jar and took a sip and handed it over: "Your brother still has a grave, but my parents don't even have a grave, forget it, drink!" ”

The man didn't speak, he took it and poured it again, and the two of them went back and forth like this, and it didn't take long for a large jar of wine to be dried up.

This jar of wine is ten catties to say the least, even if Xu Zizhen drinks well, he is a little dizzy, he smiled: "It's been a long time since I've drunk so happily, and it's been a long time since I've met your buddy who can drink so much, cool!" ”

The man also looked drunk, but his eyes were as bright as the morning star, he glanced at Xu Zizhen deeply, and asked, "I just heard you say that you want to go to the northwest?" ”

Xu Zizhen nodded and said, "Well, I was arrested by the whole city, and I couldn't stay in Suzhou City, so I simply ran away." ”

When the man saw that he said it cheerfully, there was a smile in his eyes: "Oh? Why did you arrest you? ”

Xu Zizhen's wine surged up, and he simply didn't care about it, and told about the fact that he saved people and finally killed Shen Zongwei, and the more the man listened, the more angry he became, he slammed his fist on the ground, and shouted angrily: "In order to please the golden dog, he actually betrayed his own compatriots, it is really a pig and a dog, and he killed it well!" ”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Zizhen and praised: "You are good, you are a man." ”

Xu Zizhen smiled: "Thank you for the compliment!" It's a pity that I don't have any alcohol today, so why don't I drink it tomorrow? Anyway, my injuries haven't healed yet, so I can't walk for the time being. ”

The man smiled: "Then I will drink it tomorrow." After that, he got up and left, and said no more.

Xu Zizhen didn't care, staggered back to the wine cellar and fell asleep, and slept until it was dark before waking up, he held his head in a daze, only to feel a splitting headache, and suddenly remembered the conversation with the man on the mountain, and was shocked: Ouch, how did I tell him the truth? What if he goes to the ventilating and reports that he arrests me?

However, when he thought about it, that man didn't seem to be a person with bad intentions, and he obviously looked extremely happy when he said that he had blown up Shen Zongwei.

"Whatever, if he's really not a good person, then I think I'm unlucky, I really can't drink too much in the future, damn, talk nonsense."

Xu Zizhen muttered a few words, ate indiscriminately and fell asleep again, this champion was full of stamina, and let him sleep until the next morning before waking up.

He remembered the man's words, and went up the mountain with a jar of wine, and before he reached the top of the mountain, he saw the man still sitting by the tomb, and there was not an ambush of officers and soldiers.

Xu Zizhen walked closer, put the wine jar on the ground, and said with a smile: "Continue to drink today?" But there's no more wine from yesterday, so we'll be on the way. ”

The man looked at him deeply, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's falcon, and he suddenly said, "If you want to join the army, do you know how to do some gun kung fu?" ”

Xu Zizhen shook his head and smiled: "I haven't learned, I don't know any kung fu." ”

The man nodded: "I guessed it by looking at your palm." After a pause, he suddenly said, "I think you are a good man worth knowing, how about teaching you a set of knife techniques?" ”——

Guess who this man is?
