Liu Ye looked back at Shuijing Mountain, the mountain was already far away, he could see it, but he couldn't see it clearly. Liu Ye licked his slightly dry lips, took out the kettle and drank two sips of water, and looked at Ma Hong. Ma Hong was looking at the road under his feet.

"Senior brother, go back!"

Liu Ye closed the lid of the kettle and tied the kettle around his waist.

"Senior Brother Ziyang, I have promised to be honest that I will go to Chengde with you, how can I break my promise?"

Ma Hong raised his head and looked at Liu Ye, thinking that he would go to Chengde with Liu Ye no matter what, if he succeeded, then it would be possible to tie Liu Ye to his wheels and rotate together in the future, and if he failed, he would also make Liu Ye a friend. Success or failure, it's worth it.

The sky in the afternoon was gloomy, and Liu Ye's face was also full of gloom, he looked at the little junior brother, and said with some reluctance: "Senior brother, looking at the weather, it's going to rain." ”

Ma Hong hummed and said, "Then let's hurry up!" Find a place to shelter before the rain falls! ”

Liu Ye shook his head and said, "Senior brother, you are still young, I don't want to let you get involved in the wind and rain, if you wet your clothes, you will get sick." ”

Ma Hong smiled slightly and said: "When you are young, you should be exposed to more rain, so that you can walk smoothly in the rain in the future." ”

Liu Ye sighed and said: "Senior brother, then you have to see what kind of rain it is, if it is a spring breeze and drizzle, senior brother, I will be happy to accompany you to go on a green trip; Even if it is a rainstorm in the middle of summer, it is only a night of irritability, and it will stop when it is dawn; But now it's autumn, this autumn rain is not big, it is not fierce, but the autumn rain accompanied by the autumn wind is extremely cold on the face, like a sword stabbed in the heart. Autumn has passed, and it will enter the cold winter, when the ice and snow will cover the ground, and the ice will be frozen for 3,000 miles, so that people can not stretch out their fingers. Senior brother, do you know that Yuan Shu is a person who can summon ice and snow, you ......"

"Senior brother." Ma Hong interrupted Liu Ye's words, looked at Liu Ye with a smile, and said softly: "It's snowing, we can get a brazier and find some dry firewood, two people to find dry firewood, it's better than one person to find dry firewood." ”

Liu Ye looked at Ma Hong, lowered his head and said softly: "The wind and rain are coming, let's go!" ”

Ma Hong smiled slightly, pulled the horse rope, and urged the horse under his crotch, but secretly said in his heart: In order to prevent me from stepping into this troubled water, Senior Brother Ziyang must be thinking about how to get rid of me in his heart, otherwise he would not send the house slave back to Chengde first to report the news, I have to be careful on the way, I can't let him leave me.

Liu Ye rode a horse, gently touched the kettle on his left waist with his left hand, and reached out from behind him to his right waist to touch the wine jug, and said secretly in his heart: Senior Brother Ma is determined to follow me back to Chengde, he is still so young, he is a kind child, I can't let him get involved in this bloody storm, absolutely not.

The two of them hurried in silence, it was raining, the wind and the rain hit the face and was particularly cold, fortunately the two people saw the pavilion, the pavilion was very simple, four poplar pillars, the ceiling was covered with thatch, although it was a simple pavilion, but it could also shelter from the wind and rain. To be able to walk into this shelter from the wind and rain, but also thanks to Liu Biao, Liu Biao not only has an excellent political mind, but also has the heart to do things for the people, he ordered to build a pavilion every ten miles on the main road in Jingbei, which really gave people along the way a little rest.

Liu Ye stretched out his hand and touched the kettle on his left waist, frowned slightly, paused and put his hand on the wine jug on his right waist, untied the jug and said to Ma Hong, who was about to unscrew his wine jug and drink: "Senior brother, come and taste the rice wine brewed by senior brother." ”

Ma Hong put down his wine jug, took Liu Ye's wine jug and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Ziyang, you finally let me drink the wine you brewed." ”

Liu Ye smiled and said: "Speaking of which, I originally wanted to take back the rice wine I brewed in Shuijing Villa to my father to drink, so I didn't take it out for my brothers and sisters to enjoy, but on the way, I saw that you kept peeking at my wine jug, and I knew that you were hungry." ”

Ma Hong smiled and said, "Then thank you, senior brother." ”

Ma Hong picked up the wine jug, drank two sips of wine, and then closed the lid of the jug and handed it to Liu Ye. Liu Ye took the wine jug and asked with a surprised expression: "What's the matter, junior brother, is it possible that the wine brewed by senior brother is not delicious?" Why did you drink only two sips, a good drinker? ”

Ma Hong said: "Has Senior Brother Ziyang ever drunk the wine he brewed?" ”

Liu Ye said: "Naturally, I have tasted a few bites, I think it's pretty good!" ”

Ma Hong said with a smile: "The wine brewed by Senior Brother Ziyang is good wine, I can't bear to drink too much, after all, the road is still so long, and the good wine can't be drunk all at once, otherwise the wine worms in the stomach on the road will be restless." ”

Liu Ye said: "You drunkard! Do you want to know why my wine is so good? ”

Ma Hong said: "I would like to hear about it." ”

Liu Ye nodded and said: "In the study room of the academy, the row of bookshelves on the left side of the third technical room, and the third, four, five, six, seven, and eight books on the right of the penultimate row of bookshelves all record how to make wine. ”

Ma Hong said: "Senior Brother Ziyang, your memory is really good, next time I will also study how to make wine, I can't keep buying wine to drink, it's too expensive." ”

Liu Ye nodded and said: "Well, you who love wine should really study it, speaking of which, in addition to carving Liutao and learning the art of war with the teacher, you rarely go to the study to read books, and do some strange things all day long." ”

Ma Hong nodded and said, "Senior Brother Ziyang's lesson is that Senior Brother Ziyang will definitely study more in the future." ”

Liu Ye waved his hand, closed his eyes, leaned against the pillar and said, "Senior brother, I'm a little tired, rest for a while, and when the rain stops, you tell me." ”

Ma Hong nodded and said, "Okay, senior brother, you can rest for a while!" ”

Ma Hong watched Liu Ye close his eyes and take a nap, and then smiled secretly: Senior brother! When it comes to the craft of winemaking, I know much more than you, and when I was ten years old, I made more wine than yours.

As soon as Liu Ye closed his eyes and slept, Ma Hong was also a little bored, and he couldn't help but feel sleepy, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep unconsciously. After a while, Liu Ye quietly opened his eyes and saw Ma Hong sleeping in Zhengxiang, and secretly said in his heart: Although the junior brother only drank two sips of wine, the medicine was enough to let him sleep for an hour.

Then, Liu Ye put on a coat and led the horse into the rain, the horse was still reluctant to hang his buttocks, Liu Ye threw two whips at the horse, and then rode away on the horse.

Not long after Liu Ye left, a man in a lily robe walked into the pavilion, took off his robe, and shook Ma Hong with shivering, but he couldn't wake Ma Hong. The man saw that Ma Hong had not woken up, so he took the wine jug from his waist and poured wine into Ma Hong's mouth, and then pinched Ma Hong's human center. Ma Hong took two sips of wine, opened his eyes and licked his lips, shook his heavy head again, and said to the man: "Ma San, did you steal the wine I brewed from home?" ”

Ma San smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Childe, that kid left you and ran away alone." ”

Ma Hong snorted and asked, "How long has it been gone, and who will follow?" ”

Ma San said: "Just leave, let the fifth and sixth follow, they will leave marks on the road." ”

Ma Hong nodded and said, "Well, I know, you sit on the east side to block the wind for me, and I'll take a nap for a while." ”

Ma San answered yes, and sat obediently in the east to block the east wind for Ma Hong.

Ma Hong closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes again, and shouted at Ma San: "Sit up straight, don't drink when standing guard." ”

Ma San obediently put down the wine jug, and said reluctantly in his heart: Stealing the son's wine will be punished again. But I'm not standing guard, at best!

Ma San thought of this, and was about to reach out to touch the wine jug on his waist, he subconsciously looked at Ma Hong again, and found that Ma Hong was looking at him with his right eye open and his left eye closed. Ma San smiled embarrassedly again: "Childe, I just touch it, I don't drink it." ”

Ma Hong snorted and closed his right eye.
