23. Roof beam
Under the ancient trees at the head of the village, more than a dozen men squatted or sat in groups of three or two, talking about interesting things that were not interesting, and let out bursts of low laughter from time to time.
The sun has not yet risen, the climate is low and cold, and the white fog can be vaguely seen when exhaling. Xu Shan clasped his hands together, put them on the side of his mouth to warm up, clamped his legs and rubbed them a few times from time to time, and then envied his own naughty boy who slept as long as he wanted.
Stomping his feet, he squeezed out of the crowd around him, and glanced at the people behind him with a thief's heart, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he smiled secretly, and carefully took out a palm-sized wine jug from his arms. "It's also going to be distressing. Secretly complacent, Xu Shan quietly unplugged the wine stopper, quickly poured a sip into his mouth, and then hurriedly squeezed the stopper into the mouth of the pot.
The cold elixir lingered in his mouth, dispelling the faint tiredness. Running down the throat, a spicy breath frantically irritated the nasal cavity, and then, a stream of heat from the stomach gradually spread to the limbs, and the cold and pale fingertips were also a little red.
"Whew........ Good wine, it's really good!" Xu Shan raised his eyebrows slightly, and he was greatly admired in his heart, just wanting to sigh but fearing to let out the smell of wine, he clumsily inhaled the cold air around him!
Swallowing his saliva, he saw that the wine jug hidden in his palm was a little entangled, "Do you want to take another sip?" Xu Shan hesitated slightly, a little reluctant in his heart, but he still gritted his teeth and broke off his desire. Such a good wine is rare, especially better than your own collection of goods, if you drink it next time, you don't know when you will be lucky enough to pay it again!
Full of regret, this hammer man was stuffing the wine jug back into his arms when he suddenly heard a sneer behind him!
"Hmph, can the little brother's self-brewed chaff still enter Big Brother Xu's mouth?"
"It's a rare good wine!" Xu Shan subconsciously spoke, and only after saying it did he suddenly wake up, and looked back and smiled awkwardly, "Ahem, it turned out to be Tie Hong, why don't you run behind me silently?"
Tie Hong's face was full of fluffy black beard, and ordinary people couldn't see his true expression, but at this time, just looking at his black eyes like copper bells, he only had contempt and resentment in his heart.
A person next to him was chatting with a friend, and when he heard the words of the two of them, he looked back, only to look at Xu Shan's frozen arm and the half-hidden wine jug, and then knew what the situation was, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, Brother Xu?
Before Xu Shan could speak, Tie Hong shook the handle of the hammer in his hand and opened his mouth first, "Hmph, not this time, it was the bastard boy from his family who robbed me of my wine and smashed my iron shop!" Saying that, Tie Hong seemed to think of something, pointed at the young man and said, "I said Qiujing, you have to teach your little Xiying well when you go back, let her learn to be tougher, if her temperament is soft, she can't trap the little worm of Brother Xu's family!"
It turned out that this young man with a strong and well-proportioned body and heroic facial features was Xiying's father. Hearing about his own baby, Qiu Jing smiled slightly, faintly proud, "That girl's temperament is not like me, she has her mother's toughness, and she can't afford to lose!" said and shook his head, "Brother Xu, since the good wine has been seen by the brothers, what is it to hide it, take it out and give it to the big guy to go to the cold!"
"Haha, what Xiaoqiu said is!" "That's what I'm saying, it's what I'm saying!
At this time, everyone had gathered here, and seeing that there was a bargain to be taken advantage of, Gu Yiyi Bo Yuntian stood up and followed the coaxing! This made Xu Shan and Tie Hong, who wanted to recover the lost property, look ugly.
Everyone else can be offended, this bastard surnamed Qiu is the father-in-law of his own boy, Xu Shan needs to give him a few thin noodles, not to mention that he is at a loss, and he has to take it if he doesn't take it at this time. However, Tie Hong was direct, and spat at Qiujing's nose, "Wilted guy, take Lao Tzu's things to you as a favor!"
"Haha!" Qiu Jing casually brushed aside his head to avoid Tie Hong's saliva, his face full of innocence, "This is what the brothers meant, what does it have to do with me?"
As he spoke, he slapped off Xu Shan's half-hidden big hand, took out the wine jug, and looked at the depressed Xu Shan, the corners of his mouth slanted slightly, "Hmph, I haven't had any place to cry if I am greedy for my daughter, I will call you an old fool to eat and lose today!"
"Goo Dong ~ Goo Dong ~"
The liquor entered his throat, and Qiujing let out a strange roar, looked at the wine jug in his hand and exclaimed, "It's really good wine, come! Brothers, come and taste Tiehong's exclusive secret brew!"
The people around were already impatient, and all the words of the autumn realm who listened to them squeezed over and scolded and scolded, and in the end, they didn't know who took the lead first!
Qiu Jing laughed when he saw it, Xu Shan and Tie Hong stood together at some point, both of them wanted to cry without tears. Tie Hongqi's teeth are also itchy, this wine should have been enjoyed exclusively when his own family made good weapons, but now it has entered the mouth of a group of hungry wolves, and now I am afraid that I will not even be able to find the pot!
"The little ones grab the food, the old ones grab the drinks, let's be happy now!" After enduring it for a long time, he couldn't resist the depression in his chest, Tie Hong still buried the sentence viciously, and saw that his face was full of mourning and relieved!
"Uh~ Tie Hong, how can I talk to you Brother Xu like this?"
At this time, Nie Yun, who had been sitting under the fence of the ancient tree, laughing at everyone frolicking and quietly wiping the long knife in his hand, got up and walked over steadily, relieving the two who were a little unhappy.
Tie Hong snorted, nodded at the visitor, glanced at Xu Shan, and then walked into the crowd to take back his wine jug, thinking about taking the water bubble to say that there was still a bit of taste, and after still looking at everyone with interest, Qiu Jing gave him a kick in the ass mercilessly, Qiu Jing was not as brute force as Tie Hong, and he was kicked carelessly and almost fell down after a few steps. After looking back and understanding the reason, he grinned and patted the dust on his buttocks, but he didn't pursue it.
"Tie Hong said a joke, you don't have to take it to heart!" Nie Yun didn't care about Tie Hong, who was angry, but only nodded towards Xu Shan and comforted him.
"Hey......"
Xu Shan sighed, and said angrily to Nie Yun, "Labor and management are distressed about that wine, who has the time to care what that bastard thing says....."
"Hey, Brother Xu is so kind-hearted!" caused Xu Shan to lose his wine, and Qiu Jing was not afraid of touching his brows, and he swung over with his head held high.
Nie Yun was about to fight: "You guy is filthy in his heart, he has hurt you, Brother Xu, a big drunkard, has lost his wine, is this still not satisfied?"
Forcing back from the autumn realm, Nie Yun seemed to think of something, and asked Xu Shan, "I've been injured for the past few days, why don't you see that kid Xiaohan come over to take a look?"
"Who knows what the hell that kid is busy all day long, if you want me to see it, it's probably because I'm afraid that Xiying's baby will pester him, otherwise you will definitely make trouble!"
Xu Shan still had some breath in his heart, and replied casually, but he didn't want to hit the facts. Nie Yun was slightly flustered, then thought about it, and said with a smile: "This kid has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, but he still has a fear of guilt?"
Saying this, and it's just the usual jokes of the villagers, everyone thinks it's funny, and it's about to spread, and no one will really think that there will be anything dirty between two dolls of a few years old.
On the black stone road, at this time, a man with a strong bow staggered over again, his body was not bloated in general with the autumn realm, but he always squinted his eyes and looked like he had never rested, and he felt a little weak when he looked at it.
When the people saw him coming from a distance, they stopped making noise.
Qiu Jing looked at his appearance, but he couldn't help but tease, "Why did you drop Fengzi? I can't get out of bed because I was entangled by your family Axiang? This time it's not a joke, if you faint in the mountains, no one will carry you back!"
This remark caused everyone to laugh again, and the man who was called Fengzi by Qiujing was squeezed by Qiujing and did not show his anger, and the brothers who mixed together all day long, how many years have this bad joke been played, no one will react if they hear it.
Only a hundred steps away for a long time, close to everyone Fengzi still squinted and hummed a few times, "Still talking nonsense, go early and return early, Ah Xiang let me come back early!"
At this time, the sky was slightly red, and the first rays of sunlight overcame all difficulties and dangers to come to this paradise again. Everyone stopped laughing and talking, and took all kinds of weapons and food piled up on the side of the road, Xu Shan and Nie Yun silently walked over the crowd to the front.
Silence has returned to the village, and the women have not yet gotten up. The men stood neatly in one place, and there was no one on their faces solemnly, and there was no one with the color of a hippie smile, Xu Shan's face also showed a solemnity that Xu Han had never seen, he silently looked back and looked at each brother's eyes seriously, and even the sluggish Fengzi's eyes widened slightly when his gaze swept over.......
Finally, Xu Shan and Nie Yun glanced at each other,
"Let's go~"
Nie Yun gave the order and walked forward, and everyone followed silently.
Facing the first light, the pillars of the ancient village finally marched towards the inky Hengshan!
