Autumn mornings, when the dew is always heavy, have had a pleasant (frightening) summer, and both fathers-to-be and masochists have become accustomed to a life that has calmed down again.

The very neat pieces of wood that have been chopped are thrown into the fire, and the sun-dried jujube wood is burned, mixed with a faint aroma of fruit wood in the smoke. All the people and things around the stove were very happy in the early autumn belated, except for the saber of the people in the altar, who had just completed the great cause of chopping wood, which was really exceptional.

The fire soon crept up the edge of the stove, licking the bottom of the pot, and the hater stared at the pot, his inquiring gaze scanning back and forth between the pot and the person. Hate the heavens and swear, he has never seen such a serious second brother. Even when he went to crusade against the evil heaven and imperial martial arts, he was still cynical and disrespectful. And today's second brother is even more nervous in front of the small stove than in the face of the evil heaven and imperial martial arts, which can't help but make the hating heaven evil more curious about the things in the pot.

"Ah, what, it's just a pot of rice." Waiting for thousands of times, the hater who didn't dare to talk much under the compelling gaze of the second brother couldn't help but cry out in disappointment after seeing his true face.

"Do you want another pot of pork knuckle noodles so that you can nibble on the pig's trotters first? The decrepit boy who has no eyesight, come to help your second boy. Do it with me. The second brother carefully put the rice spoonful by spoonful into a drop-shaped jar.

"Like me, don't drop a grain of Mio." "Okay second brother, what are we doing?"

"Sake brewing. Learn from your third brother, authentic Shaoxing rice wine. ”

"Second brother, I don't know much, don't lie to me, Shaoxing is at least 10,000 miles away from here."

"I don't lie to you, your second brother and I have traveled south and north, where have you never been? What wine haven't you drunk? Who hasn't seen it? Moreover, your third brother is an authentic Jiangnan water town, and he was born in a large scholarly family. knows no less than your fourth brother. I still learned this method of sake brewing from him. Oops, that's a lot! ”

The man in the altar, who had scooped half of the jar, couldn't help but pat his forehead when he saw his unsteady little brother fill his jar. "If it were your third brother, you wouldn't be so reckless."

"Second brother, how did you and the third brother meet?"

"Why are you curious about this?"

"It's hard to imagine that a mountain king would form an eight-worship friendship with a Xiucai."

"Do you have a sore skin? Teasing your brother. Who said that King of the Mountain and Xiucai can't get together? The king of the mountain needs a show to be a military advisor. If you look at the play, aren't there many reckless people who get a down-and-out talent, become the son of heaven, and sit on the dragon chair? There are also many mountain kings who rob female talents, and female kings rob handsome talents. ”

"Eh, the one who is the emperor can think of it as a three-way thatched house, what about the latter two?"

"The young man is still less knowledgeable, and the happy forest is eighty taels of silver, and the domineering bandit falls in love with me, and the story of me and the delicate bandit...... Aren't there a lot of them? ”

"Second brother, you won. Then how did you and the third brother meet, if you don't want to say it, you can not say it. ”

"Ah, what a wonderful story. But let's shoot the rice first. Gently kneading the rice repeatedly, a sticky feeling was active between his fingers, and he cleaned his hands very solemnly, and the second brother took out a small square cloth bag from his heart. The layers of silk had to be lifted, and a musty smell came, active in the milky white patch. Put your hands together, hold the small piece of koji in your hands, and pray for a moment.

The koji was crushed carefully, and the people in the altar told the story of the past with the evil spirits while mixing the koji in the rice. "A long time ago, I was also the son of a large family. At that time, I was as careless as you, and I made trouble all day long under the protection of the elders in my family. Until one day, my father was not good at learning and was chopped off by the ronin who came to kick the gym. My days have changed with that knife. ”

"Little brother, let me tell you, how affectionate the dogs around you are when you don't give you meat, and how hard they bite you when you don't have a knife! There has never been a stammering person for no reason. Don't mention the rest of it, I just wandered into the rivers and lakes, holding a letter from an unknown number of years ago, and went to find the Yunhai Yugong family that I hadn't contacted for decades. ”

"At that time, I was used to seeing betrayal, and I didn't believe in the so-called old friendship for decades, maybe I went there to find a goal for myself to live. Stop and go, not far from the sea of clouds, your brother and I were robbed. ”

"Robbed? Don't tell me, second brother, you were really taken captive by the third brother and went up the mountain, you can't see it, the third brother still has this part-time job. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, how can I not beat those little thieves, second brother? It's just that I drank too much. was tied up to the mountain by those little thieves, and Lao Tzu woke up. With one knife, the bandit leader saw what his back looked like. Those little bastards can't have weak legs, so they worship me as the boss. ”

"That's the third brother you robbed?"

"Almost, he is the young master of the Yunhai Jade Bow family, and he led a group of archers to suppress Kou, he really laughed at me, he is really a wood-headed, fighting archer. After I suffered a small loss, I cut dozens of trees to make a big shield, and I approached him on top of it, but he didn't run, just kept shooting stupidly, and when I put the knife on his neck, he also blamed me for not talking about morality. I really laughed at it. ”

"Second brother, wipe it."

"I didn't notice, the snot came out. You go out and fetch a pot of wine for your second brother. I'll talk about it when I come back. ”

"Good. Be right back. ”

"Tsk, what a burning knife, let's move on. So the little young master of the Yunhai Yugong family became my prisoner of the second brother. ”

"And then?"

"What's the hurry, wait until I'm done with this sip. Later, I got annoyed with him and let him go. Unexpectedly, he came back a few days later. ”

"He's looking for revenge on you."

"No, he just has nowhere to go. His family asked him to suppress the bandits, but in fact, they were looking for a way to support him and let him take refuge. ”

"Could it be that the third brother too?"

"Don't be so surprised, except for the fourth child, which of our five brothers is not a broken family, and which one is not a lone star? And he was in my hands again. And with two big troubles. ”

"What's the big trouble? Is it a secret or a treasure? ”

"It is both a treasure and a secret, this righteous begging in my hand, the one in the third brother's hand is unforgettable, it is said to be the key to the treasure of the ancient Nuwa God. So the two of us began to flee. ”

"And then you became brothers?" "Isn't this nonsense?"

"Then we became brothers and wandered together in the rivers and lakes. One day in Nanwulin, I drank a very boring wine called Shaoxing Huang. But your third brother said that I couldn't drink a jar. Naturally, I was not convinced, but I didn't expect it to be so strong, I slept for three days and three nights, and woke up in the kitchen pyre. Your third brother told me that I was drunk and demolished someone's shop, so we stayed there to work to pay off our debts. Your third brother is indeed a shrewd person, and in a few days, he learned the proprietor's ancestral brewing secrets. ”

"I was the guard, he was the master of the running hall and the winemaker, and we followed the proprietress named the shopkeeper Tong for a long time until the proprietress was getting older and kicking us out."

"Isn't it obvious not to look at me with such questioning eyes? The proprietress has taken a fancy to the running hall, but unfortunately time is much more ruthless to the people than to us, Ge Laozi, which woman is willing to become old and decrepit in front of her lover? While his charm still exists, it is the right way to send people away as soon as possible. ”

"Then why didn't the third brother teach her martial arts?"

"What if you practice martial arts? Let her mess with us two losers? The knife licks the blood, and I don't know when I will die in the hands of a villain like your third brother? You must know that dying of old age like an ordinary person is also a blessing. Leaving from the shopkeeper Tong, I returned to my hometown in Xiwulin with him, originally wanting to take revenge, but it turned out to be another fiasco. ”

"You have not fought the enemy."

"That's not it, three-knife goods. But at the last cut, I talked too much. The most taboo thing for a Jianghu person is to talk more before the last knife. So I regret it now. A guy who claimed to be the owner of the island of Hell stopped me with the final blow, and easily defeated the unwilling me and the Arc Bow. So, little brother, for the opponent, you must hack to death with a knife before you can dance on the corpse.

I was disappointed to be defeated, but there was nothing I could do. In order to comfort me, your third brother decided to take out the three pieces of koji that the proprietress gave her when she was leaving, and make me a jar of good wine. The two of us demolished all the ruins of my hometown, and split wood to cook rice and make wine. After five months, when winter came, we opened the jar and got drunk.

Your third brother told me that if he had a daughter, he would brew a jar of wine and bury her before she was born, and give it to his son-in-law when she got married. I smiled and said, 'Sour, in the future, we will start a family and have children, and the same sex will become Jinlan, and the opposite sex will become husband and wife.' He struck me on the head with a bow, 'What if I die?' ’

I said, 'If you die, you will die, and if you have one child in the next life, you will be a brother and sister, and if you have two children, you will be a brother and wife.' If he dies later, I will die first, I will be reincarnated first, he must come to me, I will treat him as a son, and I will spoil him for the rest of my life. ’”

"Second brother, give you the handkerchief, and I'll give you a pot bar again." Hurriedly running out of the kitchen, he felt that his nose was very sore, and through the closed door, he seemed to hear a man's cry.

"Sour, I miss you so much."
