Chapter 25: Drunk and Flowers
Xiao Linglong jumped off the table lightly, clapped her hands casually and said indifferently: "If I don't do this, how can Old Man He reveal his true means?" ”
"Old man?" He Bo smiled, smiling strangely and a little gloomy. He picked up his crutches and lowered his head, looking humble as a living subordinate, and said, "Lord Xiao really looks up to me as a bad old man. ”
"Old man, you don't have to pretend." Xiao Linglong walked in front of Uncle He, because she was much taller than Uncle He, she bent down slightly and leaned into his ear and said, "A few days ago, I sent Ada to spy on you, but you injured me with a flying stone - Ada's light body kung fu is not the best in the world, but there are absolutely few people in the world, but it still can't escape your ears and flying stones." ”
"Oh, I'm a feral cat!" He Bo smiled completely quietly, "That's really sorry, I accidentally injured the noble servant." ”
"Your technique of striking flying stones is quite similar to the person who taught me flying knives." Xiao Linglong's eyes were shining, and a treacherous smile appeared on her face, "So I really want to ask, who is the old man's name?" ”
"That's a funny question." Uncle He smiled, "The old man has lived for sixty or seventy years, and he has always had the surname He, and he has never had a surname else." You must have mistaken someone. ”
"Really? ......" Xiao Linglong looked at He Bo with a meaningful smile, "I knew you would answer like this." It doesn't matter, I'm patient. Someday, you'll sue me for your true identity! ”
Chu Tianya had been standing quietly beside him, listening to the strange conversation between the old and the young, without interjecting. But I was thinking in my heart: it seems that Uncle He's origin is indeed quite complicated. Xiao Linglong seemed to know something.
"Young master, the wine and food have been heated, do you want to take it for entertaining guests?" Uncle He ignored Xiao Linglong and said to Chu Tianya.
"Okay, take it!" Chu Tianya said casually, "However, Lord Xiao is obviously a drunkard who doesn't mean to drink, she is here for Uncle He." But it doesn't matter, I'm hungry in the middle of the night. She doesn't eat, I do! ”
"Yes, young master." He Bo didn't say anything more, and left with a cane and a lantern.
Xiao Linglong didn't say much, but looked at Uncle He's background with curiosity with her elbows in her hands, shook her head and whispered, "Could it really be that you recognize the wrong person?" …… Why don't the two of them come and recognize it themselves, but they have to let me do it for you? ”
"What are you muttering about?" Chu Tianya said lightly, "If you come to drink and spend the night, then please sit down; If you are here to recognize people and find relatives, it is better to come back tomorrow during the day. This lonely man and widow in the middle of the night, I am afraid that your name will be ruined. ”
"Stir me up with less words." Xiao Linglong lightly picked the corner of her mouth and smiled coldly, "Although I am from a royal family, I am also a person who is used to seeing the world, not the kind of small jasper in your southern country who is ashamed to answer the boudoir." Isn't it just drinking? I'm not afraid of you! ”
"Oh?" Chu Tianya was slightly surprised and said with a smile, "The tone is quite big." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, see the truth at the wine table." Xiao Linglong sat down indifferently and banged on the table with a fan, "The people of Qixingzhai have always only used big bowls to drink!" ”
"Drinking wine in a big bowl and eating meat in large pieces, do you weigh gold and silver?" Chu Tianya couldn't help laughing, and sat down at the table opposite Xiao Linglong, "Coincidentally, I also like to drink in a big bowl!" ”
At this time, Uncle He successively took hot wine and food and set it on the table. Temporarily, Chu Tianya deliberately brought two more urns of Jian Nanchun, which were originally bought back for Uncle He to drink. He Bo heard that the two of them wanted to drink in a big bowl, so he simply took the two urns of wine and placed them in front of Chu Tianya and Xiao Linglong. Then he quietly went to the atrium to rest.
Chu Tianya felt that the old man Uncle He was quite bad and not serious. Before leaving, he also closed the door of the hall, and grinned at Chu Tianya with a pair of yellow plate teeth through the crack in the door. Looking at the expression in his eyes, he has a bit of the charm of Ximen Qing's godmother-Wang Po.
Xiao Linglong didn't see it in her eyes, but she was not at all apprehensive. Without saying a word, she removed the mud seal of the wine jar, sniffed it first, and smiled slightly, "Good wine!" ”
"You look good when you smile." Chu Tianya tore the mud seal slowly, and said casually, "But why do you have to keep a straight face all day long, as if everyone in the world owes you money?" ”
"It's your business that you think you're good-looking; To laugh or not to laugh is my thing. Is there a relationship between the two? Xiao Linglong grabbed the mouth of the urn with one hand and poured wine into the big bowl in front of her, pouring a large bowl full of water, and the table was also wet, and the room was suddenly filled with the aroma of wine.
Chu Tianya was not in a hurry, he held the wine urn in both hands and poured most of the bowl slowly, without leaking a drop. Then, he pulled the leg of a crispy duck and chewed it himself.
Xiao Linglong sneered when she looked at Chu Tianya's demeanor, "It's so careful to pour a bowl of wine, the southern country is full of little men, it's not enough for me, a woman, to be cheerful!" ”
"Shame on waste." Chu Tianya replied indifferently, continued to gnaw on his duck legs, smacked his lips and said, "Wine is for drinking, not for washing the table." ”
"Less nonsense, do you drink or not?"
"Drink!"
The two of them raised their bowls and drank them, and Gululu drank them cleanly. Xiao Linglong just finished drinking and poured a full bowl. This time, Chu Tianya was not invited, and he drank to the bottom of himself. Three bowls in a row, I didn't even take a breath and drank them all.
Chu Tianya is slow and polite, anyway, this wine is like beer when he drinks it, while nibbling on the crispy duck and drinking the wine, he also drank three bowls without wasting a drop.
"Woo......" Xiao Linglong let out a long breath, turned her face and looked out the window, her face was crimson.
"Got on the face so quickly?" Chu Tianya smiled and continued to pour wine, "The little face with a red flutter is quite good-looking." ”
Xiao Linglong turned a deaf ear, simply walked over and pushed open the door, looking up at the full moon like a disk above her head.
Chu Tianya didn't pay attention to her, drank and ate meat by himself, and filled his stomach first. Xiao Linglong stood at the door for a while, looking at the full moon overhead, and stopped for a long time. Then he turned back and picked up the wine jar, and he didn't need a bowl, but just a cow drink directly in front of the jar.
Chu Tianya was a little surprised at this time - even if it was water, the fierce pouring of this jar would burst the belly.
"You want to get drunk?" Chu Tianya asked.
Xiao Linglong didn't say anything, paused for a moment and continued to pour violently.
"Also, women don't get drunk, men don't have a chance." Chu Tianya said with a smile.
Xiao Linglong still turned a deaf ear, and poured herself with wine for the third time.
Chu Tianya frowned, "Seeing that you are preoccupied, why don't you say it, is it uncomfortable to hold it in your heart?" ”
Xiao Linglong walked to the courtyard with the wine jar and stood under the osmanthus tree.
Chu Tianya also walked out under curiosity and stood three steps behind her.
"In the past, I also had such an osmanthus tree at home. Every autumn is open, and the courtyard is full of fragrance. Xiao Linglong seemed to be talking to herself, stretched out a hand, and gently stroked a small osmanthus flower in front of her with her slender fingers, and then put it on her nose and smelled it, "It's so fragrant......"
"It turned out to be homesick." Chu Tianya smiled slightly and sighed.
"What are you sighing for?"
"I'm homesick too......"
Xiao Linglong was stunned for a moment, turned her head and said curiously, "Isn't this your home?" ”
"Yes and no." Chu Tianya smiled, "No need to continue asking, this is the final answer." ”
"I'm not interested in your business." Xiao Linglong turned her head again, still reaching out to caress the osmanthus on the branch, and said softly, "It's another year of osmanthus blooming, the fragrance is still there, and the personnel are all different...... Will you grow osmanthus in your new home? ”
Chu Tianya's heart moved, and he smiled: "It turns out that you miss your lover." ”
"Wrong." Xiao Linglong didn't look back, but her voice was full of murderous intent, and she raised the wine jar and drank a few sips of wine, she sighed and said, "It's the enemy who killed my father!" ”
Chu Tianya was stunned, knowing that Xiao Linglong was talking about the past that was buried the deepest in her heart and probably hurt her the most. Although he couldn't see her expression now, Chu Tianya could feel from her voice that she was struggling with pain, sadness, love and hate in her heart.
"He is both a lover and an enemy who kills his father?" Chu Tianya asked tentatively.
Xiao Linglong's body trembled slightly.
Raising the jar, she poured it down as if she were showering herself, opening her mouth and drinking until she had drained every drop of wine from the urn.
Chu Tianya watched quietly from the side, and did not stop it. After she had poured the wine dry, she took two steps forward and handed the wine urn in her hand in front of her. Xiao Linglong didn't say a word, took the wine urn and drank the second jar as concocted.
After a few moments, there were two more empty jars and a pile of water stains on the ground. Xiao Linglong's face became redder, but her eyes became brighter and brighter. Because the clothes on her chest were wet and clinging to her body with wine, Chu Tianya vaguely saw the upright silhouette of her jade peak and the goose yellow color of her underwear.
"One more look, and I'll gouge out your eyes." Xiao Linglong didn't look back, still looking at the osmanthus tree in a daze.
Chu Tianya smiled indifferently, walked back to the hall and took the remaining bottles of Jian Nanchun, and handed her one bottle. Xiao Linglong opened the bottle without scruples and drank it. Chu Tianya also stood beside her, drinking the bottle together.
Not long after, there were four more mutton fat white porcelain wine bottles on the ground.
Xiao Linglong finally lost her footing and shook a little. Chu Tianya was about to reach out to help her, but she slashed down with a wave of her hand and turned her arm into a knife - "Don't touch me!" ”
"Okay, then you can stand on your own." Chu Tianya shook his head, "Although I am a lustful man, you are also very attractive; But don't worry, I've never been interested in drunk women. ”
"Do you think I'm drunk?" Xiao Linglong turned her head, her apricot eyes were like smoke waves, bright and enchanting.
"Not really." Chu Tianya smiled, "But I'm really drunk." ”
"Really?" The corners of Xiao Linglong's mouth curled slightly, and her whole face was suddenly charming and matchless, but it was covered with a layer of frost that rejected people thousands of miles away. She looked around in the courtyard, walked straight towards the bamboo corner frame where the clothes were drying, took out a bamboo pole that was two meters long and held it in her hand, twisted her body and moved like a demon, and the end of the bamboo pole pointed at Chu Tianya's throat.
Chu Tianya tilted his head back, "You can't be drunk, so you have violent tendencies, right?" ”
"Are you scared? Ha ha! Xiao Linglong suddenly laughed unbridledly, pulled back the bamboo pole and continued to dance.
He actually used a set of marksmanship!
Chu Tianya has just seen Wang Yu and Wang Xun's marksmanship, although she has not yet learned, she can vaguely see that her marksmanship is a bit good!
"Lord Xiao's kung fu is good, but he has practiced a lot and miscellaneous." This voice suddenly sounded in his ears, almost frightening Chu Tianya.
"Uncle He, why did you come to me without saying a word?" Chu Tianya smiled bitterly, "In the middle of the night, people are scary and scared to death!" ”
He Bo smiled, and motioned to Chu Tianya to appreciate Xiao Linglong's dancing gun.
At this time, Xiao Linglong, who was like a silver moonlight, seemed to have entered the realm of selflessness. She was engrossed in dancing the gun alone, almost obsessively, with a delicate body and delicate steps, and played a set of marksmanship to the fullest.
After looking at it for a while, Uncle He's brows gradually furrowed, his expression became more severe, and his mouth began to recite words - "Advance its sharpness, retreat its speed, its potential is dangerous, its knots are short, it does not move like a mountain, and it moves like thunder...... The lotus flower is juxtaposed, and the purple gold crown is reversed! ”
"Whew-"
Suddenly, there was a whistle, and the bamboo pole in Xiao Linglong's hand pointed directly at He Bo's chest, and his apricot eyes widened and said sharply: "You really know this marksmanship!" ”
"Old man, I'm also very strange......" He Bo looked down at the tip of the bamboo on his chest, and did not flinch at all, but his tone was rarely stern, "You are a Khitan, how can you make a pear spear of the Yang family?" ”
