Chapter 16: Li Bai
When it was raining, Li Bai was riding a donkey into Lijin. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Taking advantage of the last glimmer of light in the sky, Li Bai could clearly see the outline of Baiyun Tower, and he could also see the lights of Baiyun Tower lit up one by one.
From the entrance of the town, the heavy rain brought a cool atmosphere to the town, but also brought a burst of noise. On the clean streets of Ritsu, shops and vendors on both sides are busy cleaning up their stalls, and adults chase after the children who are running in the rain. The streets, which were bustling a moment ago, are now empty and empty. Li Bai looked at everything in front of him and remembered that he also came to Lujin last time, the same town, and the difference was himself.
Hold up an umbrella to block the falling raindrops, and let the donkey tap and walk on the Lujin stone road. Just let it rain a little and brush the donkey at night. It's not that he likes the feeling of riding a donkey in the rain, it's just that this stupid donkey can't run fast, and after several days of running, it has been tired and can't run.
Revisiting the old place always makes people feel a lot of emotion, and the last time I came to Lijin, I was also dressed in white. When he was twenty years old, he went out of Shu alone, and after four years of travel, he passed through Yunmeng Daze, south to Dongting Xiangjiang, and east to Wuyue. Whether it is the vastness of Yun Mengze or the gentleness of Wu Yue Jiangnan, it makes him immersed and forgetful. Roaming for many years, there is no shortage of poems, occasionally come out, into the ears of He Zhizhang, who is too often Shaoqing, and there is actually the title of the immortal. Therefore, those who have good deeds are called poets and immortals. But how do people in the world know that composing poetry is just a hobby, and what they are looking forward to is to enter the dynasty and build this prosperous era of Qin.
Li Bai, the words are too white, and the poetry is unparalleled. He is not only Li Taibai, a poet immortal of the Great Qin, but also Li Taibai, who is the first in strategy, the second in swordsmanship, and the third in poetry.
Li Bai approached Baiyun Tower and found that under the eaves outside the building, many men in strong clothes stood with swords. I think about where the dignitaries settled in Baiyun Tower. Under the dim light, a guy took the donkey, and another guy told him to charter the second floor.
Even if you don't need to tell him, seeing him coming on a donkey, most of them won't be able to go up to the second floor. At this time, the table on the first floor was full, so the guy led him to find a seat in the corner of the table and share the table with others.
The guy is still the buddy of the year, and the poet fairy is also the poet of the year, but the guy can't recognize Li Bai anymore. After all, for an ordinary guy in a restaurant, the so-called Shixian is just a special symbol among the past guests, and he will remember that Shixian has been to the restaurant, but he will not remember Shixian's appearance.
Li Bai has a long figure, a long sword slung at his waist, and although his white clothes are full of dust, he still can't hide his edge. This is the second time Li Bai has come to Baiyun Tower, and the last time he came was four years ago. In the same night rain, he had just come out of Shu with a lot of money in his pocket, and he went up to the second floor. At that time, the business of the restaurant was not as prosperous as it is now. The shopkeeper is an interesting person, and the wine is also an interesting wine, accompanied by the night rain, the two of them beat the cup with chopsticks and sang, and drank until dawn.
After dawn, he rented a boat and went straight to Hanshui after a hangover, and when he woke up, he was already in Jiangxia. He was drunk, and he never remembered what happened after that night, whether it was really the same as the legend of the rivers and lakes, and it was difficult for the poet to write a poem. The only thing that impressed me was the bright eyes of the shopkeeper Yuan and the mournful singing voice after drinking. But with the wine I drank at that time, it is estimated that it is difficult to write a pen, and it is still possible to write poetry.
Seeing such a booming business, Li Bai didn't want to disturb the shopkeeper for the time being. sat down at the seat pointed out by the guy, and casually ordered a cheap meat and vegetarian two dishes, plus a pot of wine. Wine, of course, is not "ten years", just ordinary wine. Not to mention the shyness in the pocket, even if you have money, it is difficult to get those ten years of wine. Li Bai has traveled around the world for many years, and he has never drunk this strong liquor again, which is surprising. If it weren't for the shopkeeper Yuan to give him, he wouldn't have known that there was still fine wine in the world. At the same table, across the table was a diner in his thirties with a long knife at his waist, chatting with a handsome young man on the left side of the table while eating.
“...... How could anyone be making trouble? What is the status of these nine major sects, if you don't make trouble for others, you will already be Amitabha. You just look at the iron sword gate outside the door, don't talk about Xiangyang City, it is the current town of Lujin, the restaurant is lucky, how much is it from other people, you haven't lived yet, others will probe you to the bottom. It's still what you see, and you don't know how much of it is sunk under the water, and you can't see it. Do you think that so many shops are exchanging money every year, it is really not good to run a business? Tsk, it's more or less the business is good before it is exchanged. The diner in his thirties, while drinking and talking to his companions, had already lowered his voice, but this big man was tall, his voice was really loud, and he was sitting relatively close, so Li Bai still heard it clearly.
"Then these nine major sects, isn't this a clever and arrogant ......" The young man eats very slowly, with elegance in every move, although the dishes on the table are very simple, but under the actions of the young people, it seems to be as precious as the delicacies of the mountains and the sea. Hearing the big man talk about this, the young man put down his chopsticks and asked suspiciously.
"Say what? They are also in business, and if they have business and who they don't, they have never lost any of you. The big man quickly stopped the young man's words and secretly glanced at Li Bai.
"Two brothers, just feel free, don't pay attention to me, if I am a member of the Nine Great Sects, I will drink on the second floor in the morning, and I don't have to come here to share a table with the two of you." Li Bai smiled bitterly, raised his glass and nodded to the two, and motioned to continue.
"Haha, this benevolent brother is also a man of temperament, drink together, drink together." The man in his thirties was broken by Li Bai, laughed, and pushed the wine jar in front of him forward. "Xiong Hongxing in Lower Ezhou. This is ......, my friend Qijiazi. Hearing the big man introduce himself, the handsome young man smiled shyly at Li Bai, nodded back, and two dimples appeared on his thin and handsome face. Li Bai is already proudly dressed in white, this Qijiazi looks slightly younger than Li Bai, and he is also dressed in white, although he is a little quiet, compared with Li Bai, he is not inferior.
"In Xia Shu, Li Twelve." Hearing this, Li Bai replied with his fists clenched. Qijiazi heard that Li Bai claimed to be Li Twelve in Shuzhong, and the head that was originally under him looked up at Li Bai again.
That Xiong Hongxing is a reckless person, and Li Bai has already drunk an altar with Qijiazi when he comes. Seeing Li Bai, you must pull it and drink it again, Li Bai is also a good drinker, Qijiazi doesn't say much, but Xiong Hongxing is open-mouthed. Li Bai had no choice but to eat and drink like Qijiazi and listen.
"This nine-faction conference on October 15 is really a grand event in Jingchu martial arts. Recently, these heroes from all walks of life have been rushing to Xiangyang one after another. This Iron Sword Gate is also a big deal, and it is really a good place to choose the martial arts arena on Yuliang Island. Do you know where Yu Liang Chau once lived? Pound Degong. ”
"You say that these heroes from all walks of life came to Xiangyang so early, really just to watch the Nine Factions Conference? People in the rivers and lakes have their own grievances to repay each other. It's hard to get friends and rivals together, but what a great opportunity this is......"
Although Xiong Hongxing is tall, the amount of alcohol is not high, seeing that Li Bai and Qijiazi are listening attentively, the more energetic they speak, the faster the wine comes. Xiangyang is Ezhou down the Han River, and the two places are not far from each other, so Xiong Hongxing is also familiar with Xiangyang. The wine came up, and he talked endlessly about many customs in Xiangyang and the two of them. However, that Qijiazi was originally a friend of Xiong Hongxing, but he didn't know much about what he said, and like Li Bai, he listened attentively, and clinked glasses with Li Bai from time to time.
"There is a oxtail hot pot ......"
The dishes have been almost eaten, and after adding a pot of wine, Xiong Hongxing became more and more interested.
At this time, the guy who had taken Li Bai's donkey before bent down and came to Li Bai's side, and said, "This son, our store has not had enough people recently, and there are too many horses today, and your donkeys are ......" Saying this, the guy showed a look of embarrassment.
"What happened to my donkey?" Li Bai turned around and asked in surprise.
"Your donkey, we've fed the fodder, but we can't wash it." The guy looked embarrassed and whispered back.
"I hate the poor and love the rich, is Baiyunlou like this?" Li Bai smiled helplessly. Forget it, for Lao Yuan's sake of so many ten-year wine last time, I'll do it myself. Li Bai sighed, thinking of the big food horse and the shy money bag that he gave away, he couldn't help but sigh, and his daughter was gone. Li Bai stood up and said with a smile: "Brush it yourself, it's okay for you to provide some water, right?" ”
After settling accounts with his buddies, Li Bai said goodbye to Xiong Hongxing and Qijiazi. Under the guidance of the guy, he went out of the restaurant, took advantage of the faint lights of the restaurant, held the umbrella borrowed from the guy, led the donkey in the bustling and noisy sound, and walked to the backyard of Baiyunlou alone.
