There is a beautiful and delicate pavilion at the entrance of the Moon Palace, the corners of the square eaves are neatly raised, there is no pillar in the pavilion, the whole pavilion top is suspended in the air, and the glazed tiles are glowing with some blue-white light.

A few pieces of light yarn hung under the eaves, and a small stone table and two stone benches were placed in the pavilion, from which you could see the gorgeous Guanghan Palace, the huge laurel tree in the distance, and Wu Gang who kept wielding an axe under the tree.

There are two stone lamps on the edge of the pavilion, the faint light is gently swaying, and there are all kinds of flowers around, and the colors are not clear in the dim light, but they are blooming vigorously.

"It's beautiful."

Xiao Zhen walked into the pavilion and stood in front of the stone table looking at the Moon Palace, the whole Moon Palace was very quiet, except that from time to time he could hear the sound of the axe falling on the trunk of the tree.

"Lady, don't be too far ahead, this pavilion is like an abyss, if you fall down, you will be crushed, be careful."

"Don't worry, I know, I'll be careful."

After lingering by the pavilion for a while, the couple continued to walk deeper into the Moon Palace, crossing the first small stone bridge to the platform where the laurel tree was located.

I saw that the laurels of the trees were clustered together, blooming well, and the small golden petals were like shining golden stars in the moonlight, and some of them fell lightly and spread all over the ground.

Before he reached the platform, he could smell the refreshing fragrance of osmanthus from a distance, and when he got closer, Xiao Zhen saw that the petals were still alive, so he found a small cloth bag and put some of them, ready to take them back to dry and make spices.

"After so many years, Brother Wu Gang is still so persistent."

Hearing this, Wu Gang turned around and saw that it was the husband and wife coming, so he put down the axe and greeted him.

"It's almost late at night, and the cold is very heavy, how did the two young heroes remember to come to this Moon Palace?"

"Since I came here for something, I don't know if my eldest brother is free?"

"Naturally, I'm free, I stay here every day, and I have nothing else to do, I don't know what the two of you are looking for me?"

"It's the festive season, I brought the Baiwei wine that I said before, I wonder if my eldest brother can enjoy his face and have a few drinks with me?"

Barilla is not very precious and sells cheaply, but its taste is something that many people like.

The three of them sat on the ground under the laurel tree, and Xiaoyu took out the pot of Baiwei wine from his bag and put it in front of Wu Gang.

"Okay, it's rare for the son and the girl to come here, so naturally they want to have a few drinks."

"It is said that this Baiwei wine has been left for a hundred years, and it smells like new, but it tastes mixed, and everyone tastes a different taste."

"I've heard of this before, but I'd love to know what it will taste like when you come here."

Wu Gang took the wine handed over by Xiaoyu and smiled softly.

"Although I bought a lot of this wine, it was all required by the master's mission, and it was all handed over to the master, and I haven't drunk it myself."

"That's just right, today, if you don't get drunk, you won't return."

Both of them took a sip and savored it, then drank the wine in their glasses.

"It's a little astringent."

Wu Gang looked at the delicate wine glass in his hand, as if he was talking lightly, but his face was full of helplessness.

"Wine, itself is astringent, but many people have drunk too much wine, and gradually they don't feel astringent, but feel a little sweet."

"Yes, this wine is mild, not so spicy to drink, and this taste can be more delicate."

"That's true."

Xiaozhen has never been a drop of wine, so he just sat quietly and poured wine for the two.

"The world is already a reunion of ten thousand families, but this Moon Palace is still so cold, and the people who visit the Moon Palace in the past few days are all in pairs, and we are probably the only ones who are alone."

"It is the Spring Festival, since the reunion is complete, although it is a little lonely to be alone, but it is not all fun at all, in this fairyland with beautiful scenery as a companion, but also envy others."

"If I had such a state of mind as Childe, I probably wouldn't have such feelings."

Wu Gang sighed softly and looked at the vast sea of stars behind the laurel tree.

"The tranquility of the heart, most of them have a close relationship with the people or things around them, and it has been some years since Brother Wu Gang came to such a quiet and quiet place, and there are not many distractions in his heart."

"Maybe that's the case, maybe it's just that I'm just cutting this laurel tree day after day, and I'm already numb."

At this time, Xiao Zhen noticed a shallow mark on the laurel tree near its roots, as if it had been cut by a sharp blade.

"Look at this trace, it seems that it has not been cut too deeply, the trunk of this laurel tree is so thick, I am afraid that it will be far away if it continues like this."

"This trace doesn't seem to have changed much compared to when I saw it a few years ago, and it's still just the tip of the iceberg, Brother Wu Gang, you ...... Do you want to keep chopping? ”

"I guess so, I'm used to it."

Wu Gang drank all the wine in the cup again, and drank several glasses in a row, and in a blink of an eye, he drank half a pot of Baiwei wine.

"Half of this wine has been drunk, but Childe has only drunk one glass, let's say that if you don't get drunk, you won't return."

The two of them chatted while drinking, and in a short time the flask had bottomed out, and there was no more to pour out.

"Okay, the wine is gone, it's time for me to continue working, and in this new year, the two of you have come to visit me."

Wu Gang said, stood up and moved his hands and feet, which were sitting a little numb, and when he picked up the axe placed beside him, he knocked over the bamboo basket next to him, and the laurel petals in it were scattered all over the ground.

"These petals are ......"

"For sake brewing, this laurel-made wine is delicious."

"Osmanthus wine is already very sweet, if it is brewed with this laurel, it must be even more delicious, but I really want to taste it."

The three of them quickly cleaned up the scattered osmanthus petals, and Wu Gang poured them into a mortar that seemed to be made of white jade, and slowly grinded them.

"There's nothing left over from the previous brew, I'll save some for my son next time."

"Then thank you in advance, even if the mountain is high and the road is far away, you will definitely come and bring a pot."

"It's not a big deal, I'll tell my son when the wine is brewed."

Wu Gang said, smiled heartily, and also noticed the bag of osmanthus petals in Xiaoji's hand.

"Is there any use for the girl to collect these petals?"

"I like this scent very much, and I want to take it home to make a sachet."

"I see, if this laurel is made into a snack, it is also very delicious."

"Okay, I'll try to make some when I get back."

"If the girl likes this laurel, you can tell me, I will leave some for the girl, the flowers and leaves of this laurel are born and fall, fall and regenerate, it can be said that it is evergreen and undefeated."

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome, girl."

On the way to Guanghan Palace, Xiao Zhen remembered that Xiao Yu had not said what he had drunk from that wine, and he was a little curious for a moment.

"By the way, husband, what does it taste like when you drink Baiwei wine?"

"With a lady by your side, it's naturally sweet."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhen looked at Xiao Yu's gentle smile and smiled sweetly.
