Spirits that don't get drunk

An An fell asleep by the teacher's bed, but when An An woke up, the teacher was no longer in bed.

An An searched the entire house, but there was still no trace of the teacher, but she found a note left by the teacher:

"An An, the teacher is gone, I'm going to find the ancients. An An, the teacher is no longer suitable to be your guqin teacher, the teacher is upset and unworthy. The teacher hopes that your attainments in the guqin can be further improved in the future, An An, he will see you again in the future, and I hope that your original intention will still be the same. ”

The teacher left, An An took the note, and her heart was mixed. Those who want to leave can't stay, those who want to stay can't leave, and now An'an, I'm left alone, I just hope that the teacher can find what he wants.

For the guqin, An An doesn't know how to start for the time being, it's easy to put it down, but it's too difficult to pick it up again. An An thought about going out for a walk, it was five o'clock in the morning, this is An An's biological clock to get up in the world. However, at five o'clock in the morning in the past, Qi Jia came directly to pick up An An, and An An had never seen the street scene.

The street scene at five o'clock in the morning, there are aunts who sweep in the morning, owners of early shops, students who carry weights forward, and shuttle cars......

There is also a category of people who have caught An An's attention. These people walked along, wore heavy makeup, were very drunk, but their eyes were clear. These people are all coming out of various bars, and they are all people who don't come home at night.

Out of curiosity, An An walked into a bar, but the bar closed immediately. Helpless, An An had to wait for the evening to go. I found a hot pot restaurant, ate hot pot, and waited for dark.

An An ate a hot pot, fell asleep on the table, woke up and ate another hot pot, and then went out for a walk, and it was dark.

Taking advantage of the night, An An walked into a bar called 'No Return at Night', what is the reason for not returning at night?

In the bar, people came in one after another, with smiles on their faces, but they didn't reach the bottom of their eyes. Under the eyes, there is a deep sorrow that cannot be dissolved. Sorrow, what are they worried about?

An An sat in front of the bar, looking at the beautiful and attractive wines made by the bartender, and suddenly felt sad in his heart. An An didn't know why, looking at these beautiful wines, An An felt that each wine had its own sadness, like tears, tears of sad people.

An An's amount of alcohol is not afraid to drink casually, she just came here to take a look and see if these nights do not return.

An An is curious about these people, and these people are also curious about An An, a person who goes into a bar and doesn't drink is naturally curious.

Seeing that An An hadn't ordered wine for a long time, the bartender couldn't help asking:

"Would you like to have something?"

An An lay on the table, looked at the colorful wine in front of the bartender and said:

"I want a glass of liquor that won't get drunk."

An An's words made the bartender stunned, the people who came to the bar were all drunk people, but An An was not. An An, it looks like she's here to smash the field, but she doesn't look like it.

An An saw the bartender staring at him with a puzzled face, and said embarrassedly:

"I don't drink, it's a pour."

The bartender suddenly realized and began to mix drinks for An An. Spirits that don't get drunk, An An just said it casually, and as a result, the bartender really started to make it.

An An saw that the bartender had added a lot of messy things, and then put a glass of beautiful looking wine in front of An An. The wine was very beautiful, An An couldn't help but admire, and at the same time asked in amazement:

"Is there a liquor in the world that doesn't get drunk?"

The bartender smiled and motioned for An An to try it herself. As soon as the wine roared, An An was immediately choked, and the wine was indeed a strong wine. An An kept coughing, and the bartender smiled even more.

An An thought that the bartender was laughing at herself, so she took the wine and drank it all, feeling hot in her mouth. Just as An An was ready to fall, his face was not red and his ears were not hot. An An felt so strange and looked at the bartender suspiciously.

The bartender patted An An on the shoulder and said:

"Don't worry, you won't get drunk."

An An sat down, looked at the remaining wine in the wine glass, and smelled it, it was indeed wine.

The bartender may have never seen someone as fun as An An, and asked jokingly:

"Would you like another drink?"

It was originally a joke, but An An actually nodded and said:

"I've never drunk spirits, I've always wanted to taste it, but I'm afraid to get drunk. If you can meet the spirits you brew today that won't get drunk, you should have another drink. ”

The bartender saw that An An's first glass was already very painful, and his face was wrinkled like a bitter melon, but now An An actually said that he would have another drink. The bartender didn't stop him, not wanting to ruin An An's excitement, so he mixed another glass.

This time, An An savored it, letting the liquor burn his lips, mouth, and throat, and then enter his stomach. The liquor brought An An an unprecedented irritation, and she felt numb in her mouth but fragrant in her mouth.

When the bartender saw An An's behavior, he felt that An An was even more interesting.

"I'm good at drinking, yes."

An An is also good at talking, mainly because she doesn't care, so she is praising herself as a bartender.

After drinking, An An's eyes lit up, looked at the bartender and asked:

"How do you make this wine? Actually won't get drunk. ”

The bartender shook his head, he probably thought An An was a little silly.

"The secret recipe for redemption is told!"

The bartender was serious, and An An stopped asking. In fact, An An didn't drink wine at all, but a drink, and the bartender just didn't want to disappoint An An, so he didn't tell An An the truth.

Come to the bar and have fun, why care so much?

An An stared at the other drinkers, of course, not all people here, but whether they were demons or gods and Buddhas, they all had one characteristic, that is, sadness.

The bartender looked at An An's appearance, and he didn't look like a person who often came to the bar, so he asked:

"You don't come to the bar very often, do you?"

Although it is a question sentence, the bartender already has an affirmative answer in his heart. An An nodded, feeling a little embarrassed and said, "It's the first time I've come." ”

The first time I came, everyone has the experience of coming to a bar for the first time, but the bartender has never seen anything like An An: no drunk, no fun.

Maybe it's An An who makes people more curious, An An also saw the bartender's curiosity, but the fact is nothing curious, because An An is just curious.

"I'm just curious why they don't come home at night, and the sadness in their eyes."

An An has no parents since she was a child, and later her grandmother also left, and even An An, who has always been a teacher of her relatives, does not know where to go. An An is not without experiencing things, but there is no sadness in An An's eyes.

Although An An used to always dream of his parents, this dream changed after An An got the 'Jade Bone Guqin'.

In An An's view, life has to go on, and An An believes that her relatives want her to live happily.

"I'm getting more and more curious about you."

The bartender said, handed another glass of wine to An An, An An didn't refuse, anyway, if you don't get drunk, then drink hard.

An An still stared at the drinkers, each of whom seemed to be eager to get drunk and unconscious.

The bartender saw that An An really didn't seem to understand, so he said:

"They're all people who have been injured and have insomnia at night."

Insomnia at night? An An has always felt that she can't sleep enough, how can she have insomnia? However, does this injury mean like a teacher?

The people in the bar came and went, and came and went. The resident singer sings a song that An An has never heard before, it should be the resident singer's own song. It should be the influence of the atmosphere, An An actually felt a little drunk, but his brain was sober, not like in the past, when he was drunk, he fell directly to sleep.

An An walked to someone else's table with a wine glass, listening to this story, that talking about his heart. Everyone is a stranger, and no one remembers who walks out of here, so whoever has something is not unhappy. But there are also people who just drink quietly and look at An An quietly.

An An has heard others say that their family members have died, that their loved ones have left, and that their friends have fallen ill. These are the stories of people who can tell stories, and those who can't tell are what An An is most curious about.

But others don't want to say it, and An An can't help it. But looking at the injuries in their eyes, An An couldn't bear it, so he asked the bartender to help him find a guqin and played a song "Requiem".

As soon as the piano sounded, the four seats were quiet, and they all listened attentively to An An's playing. When the song was finished, everyone put down their wine glasses, and those who didn't want to tell the story, at this moment, their eyes were clear, and they left their seats.

An An suddenly had an idea to open a bar, listen to the stories of those who are unwilling to tell stories, and play "Requiem" for them.

However, the most important thing to open a bar is to learn how to bartend first, thinking of this, An An walked up to the bartender with a smile on her face, and looked at the bartender with a smile and introduced herself:

"Hello, my name is An An."

As soon as An An's words came out, the bartender knew what was going on with An Anding, so he asked directly:

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

An An was still smiling, and her eyes were looking directly at the bartender, as if she was staring at her prey. But under the light, An An was particularly harmless.

An An also saw that the bartender didn't want to deal with him very much, but An An felt that the bartender who could make spirits that would not get drunk must be a master, and he must learn to mix with him, so he asked again:

"My name is An An, what's your name?"

The bartender, perhaps not wanting to be annoyed any longer, said:

"You call me Echo."

Echo, this name An An feels very familiar, where have you heard it? Oh, the English name of the writer Sanmao is Echo, An An suddenly remembered.

Echo, which means echo, is a good name. If you don't forget, there will be an echo.

"Echo, can you teach me how to mix?"

An An is worried that Echo will refuse, because Echo seems to be a person with a very cold temperament who doesn't care about anything. Echo, I've heard a lot of stories I don't want to tell.

But Echo was really puzzled, this An An always didn't play cards according to the routine, which made Echo interested, and agreed to teach An An to bartend.

However, Echo said that he only disciplined, and what he learned was An An's own business. After the two talked, An An left.

Although An An is a person who gets up early, he is really not a person who stays up late, and he feels too sleepy, so An An said goodbye to Echo and went home to catch up on sleep.

Although An An slept during the day, she still wanted to sleep late at night, and fell asleep when she got home.

An An dreamed that she had opened a bar called "forgetting". Forget? Forget what?
