Chapter 273: If you don't get drunk, you won't return
A few of us looked at each other, Gong Jue, Tian Ji and Xue Xinrou nodded to me in unison, it seems that we have to go to Bingzhongluo once, Ye Jiuqing handed me the bronze plate.
"I've been thinking about this thing for a long time, look here." Ye Jiuqing pointed to the back of the bronze plate. "There are traces of friction here, like it is used to open a certain place, since this thing is related to Lingshan, it may be useful when you carry it on your body."
"After the man left Lingshan, according to his description to the caravan, he heard the sound of water after passing through a stone gate, and this bronze plate was taken from the stone gate." The palace lord took the bronze plate and said. "This thing is supposed to be used to open the stone door."
"When the golden basin is finished washing its hands, we will leave for Bingzhongluo." I took a deep breath and said.
"See, this is called the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, we don't accept the old way, we can't do it, these young people may be able to do it." Ye Jiuqing laughed out loud and said to Zhao Yan and Feng Cheng. "Sometimes it's like being young again, and it feels like there's still a lot of work to do, and half of my body is buried in the ground."
"If you know what age you are, don't toss, wash your hands with peace of mind, you still have decades left, and a lot of time will make you chic." I saw that Ye Jiuqing was a little melancholy, and smiled and relieved. "Besides, how long has Zhiqiu waited for you to stop, and how good it is to share the family under Chenghuan's knees in the future."
Ye Jiuqing suddenly fell silent, sitting alone on the chair and wandering, as if thinking about something, it took a long time to come back to his senses, and I saw his deep and resolute gaze again, it was Ye Jiuqing I was familiar with, his eyes moved away from us one by one, and his fingers rhythmically tapped the armrest.
This is his habit, whenever he makes a major decision, he will tap it like this, his fingers hovering on the armrest, Ye Jiuqing suddenly smiled with relief, I know that he has already made a decision.
"It's rare for you to come back, when you get to this house, just relax and rest for a few days, don't think about anything, since you know it's my big day, no other requirements, don't get drunk tonight." Ye Jiuqing stood up from his chair.
Everyone in the room was laughing, even I squeezed out a smile at the corner of my mouth, but I couldn't laugh in my heart, Ye Jiuqing was hiding it from me, but that didn't mean I didn't know him, what I saw on Ye Jiuqing's face was not to put it down, but to break it.
I don't know what he really decides, but with what I know about Ye Jiuqing, once he decides something, there is absolutely no possibility of changing it.
Ye Jiuqing took us out, the courtyard was full of people, and they all got up to congratulate him, Ye Jiuqing's interest tonight seems to be very high, his body is not as good as before, Ye Zhiqiu privately told Zhao Yan and Feng Cheng not to let Ye Jiuqing drink again, but today is such a big thing, Ye Jiuqing is so happy.
Feng Cheng and Zhao Yan looked at me, meaning to dissuade me, but it is rare to see Ye Jiuqing as happy as he is now, he has to drink this wine, in fact, I know that he is not happy in his heart, after all, let go of everything that makes him brilliant and proud, every time he drinks a glass, it is like drinking his past.
Watching Ye Jiuqing's arrogance and the people in the banquet pushing the glass and changing the lamp, he suddenly felt that his back was so lonely, maybe this is the twilight of the hero, I believe that the wine he drank in his mouth was bitter, because he could no longer see the future, Ye Jiuqing ended his pride with a lively and extraordinary banquet.
"Let him drink it, I guess he won't have a chance to drink with these friends in the future." I sighed faintly.
"According to the rules, the golden basin has to wash its hands for three days, the first two days are to invite friends who come to congratulate, and the third day, that is, tomorrow, is the official golden basin to wash hands, and you have to wash your hands and retire in front of these fellow believers." Feng Cheng said to me worriedly. "Last night, I heard Brother Ye coughing in the middle of the night, and if I continue to drink like this, I'm worried that he won't be able to bear it."
"Uncle Feng, I haven't asked about this yet, why did the shopkeeper suddenly ask for a golden basin to wash his hands?" I asked seriously.
"I don't know, I didn't see the signs before, after you went to Jinxi, Brother Ye and Ling Ran traveled together, but it didn't take long for them to come back upset, saying that there has been no news from you for a long time, come back to see if you are safe." Feng Cheng shook his head and said to me. "Seeing that there was no news from you, Brother Ye fidgeted and waited in the pawnshop all day without saying a word, and then heard the news of your appearance in Jinling, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, who knew that the next day I actually asked me to send someone to deliver the post, and I only then knew that Brother Ye wanted to wash his hands in a golden basin."
As soon as I heard it, I felt that the softest place in my body was touched, and I looked at Ye Jiuqing, who did not refuse to drink one cup after another, and my heart was warm, he was holding me back, and it was a heartfelt memory, no matter what he hid from me, I was already content with this memory.
"Why can't you think about it in a good place, Brother Ye is at this age, it's a good thing to be able to retreat bravely, it is estimated that Brother Ye really saw it, after you rescued Brother Ye last time, he didn't seem to be as persistent as before." Zhao Yan said beside him.
"Uncle Zhao, Uncle Feng, the shopkeeper has something on his mind today, and the seniors who come here are all seniors in the industry, it is not appropriate for me to come forward, and I bother you to follow the shopkeeper, with your status, these seniors will not be difficult for you, and they can help the shopkeeper block the wine in more places." I say.
Feng Cheng and Zhao Yan nodded, got up and walked to Ye Jiuqing's side, I looked up and saw that the palace lords were staring at me, and they seemed to be smiling.
"What are you looking at me for?" I asked.
"Don't say it, Chao Ge sits there, and he really looks like a shopkeeper." Tian Ji said with a smile.
"You can't speak, what do you mean, people are good or not." Gong Jue glanced at Tian Ji and sneered at me. "Otherwise, let's also take care of the shopkeeper for a drink."
"Enough, don't be sour, it's really like I'm sitting in this position, isn't it difficult to ride a tiger." I smiled weakly.
"Speaking of which, I should have a glass to everyone, I came back all the way, I didn't expect such good luck, it is a blessing to meet a friend like you." Xue Xinrou raised her wine glass calmly and generously. "Today I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, thank you for your care."
"It's still soft-hearted and can speak, and this glass of wine has to be drunk no matter what." Tian Chicken quickly picked up the wine.
Gong Jue and I were also embarrassed by Xue Xinrou's words, picked up the wine glass, looked at the lively crowd in the courtyard, remembered that the Sifang pawnshop had not been so lively for a long time, and remembered that the first time I was brought back by Ye Jiuqing, it was Chinese New Year's Eve.
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was placed in the courtyard, and at that time I was confused, timidly watching a group of fierce and evil old men in the courtyard, they teased me like a stray dog, I remember that I was very hostile to them at that time, because they all teased me, and no one treated me as a child.
The general threw me on the stool like a chicken, I was small at that time, just half of my head was exposed, the general threw the chicken leg in my bowl, and did not forget to scold me, I hated the people at the table, I hated it to the core.
But it was this group of people who raised me, and when I suddenly found out, I don't know when I started, when I was used to relying on them, these people were already old, and the ignorant child back then has now become the shopkeeper of the ruling party.
But the person I once hated was gone, I glanced at the vacant position next to me, there was a pair of dishes and chopsticks on the table, but no one was sitting, this was the general's position, he would keep it at any time, in the hearts of the pawnshop people in the four directions, the general never left.
If I used to cry, I couldn't help crying every time I thought of the old thing, this kind of weakness that they once looked down on, I never suppressed it, just as I once hated him like bones, I smiled faintly, smiled calmly, laughed relieved, the old thing kept looking at me, this is what he wants to see me the most.
I poured a glass of wine for the general, Gongjue and Tian Ji should have known that I thought of the general, and they didn't say a word, their faces were heavy, I slowly put down the wine glass, took out the cigarette pouch from my body, rolled a cigarette as usual, lit it and put it next to the general's dishes and chopsticks.
"Old thing, when the master grows up, don't worry about me." I picked up the wine again, looked at Gong Jue, Tian Ji and Xue Xinrou opposite, and my voice was firm. "To all the friends who have been with you all the way!"
I poured the wine on the floor, and so did them, and when I looked up, I saw Hua Xishuang, her gaze soft and reserved, but there was always something in it that I couldn't understand.
Friend......
I suddenly didn't know how to define the scope of the term.
Gong Jue, Tian Ji and Xue Xinrou, as well as Ye Zhiqiu and Ling Zhihan, etc., they are all my friends, but as friends, they should live and die together, so calculated, Zhuo Mingfeng and Tianhui should also be regarded as my friends, but they are my friends' enemies.
Even Hua Xishuang should be considered my friend, but she is into the eyes of the ground, once I swore to be the enemy of the sword, Hua Xishuang is still looking at me, that look makes me at a loss, subconsciously avoided, my thoughts are a little messy, and suddenly I found that I am useless, I have been tracking for so long, and I can't really touch the truth, and now, I can't distinguish between enemies and friends.
Looking at this familiar courtyard, time flies so fast, it has been here for almost twenty years, the courtyard is still the same as it used to be, the people here are still those people, and it seems that nothing has changed.
The only thing that changed was me, and I suddenly realized that the more things I was exposed to, the more I was not yet known from the truth, but I changed unconsciously.
I think of the moment I put on the mask in the golden palace under the sea, the self that was awakened from the depths of my heart, cruel, bloodthirsty and evil, it was a complete stranger to me, but I don't know why, but it made me feel real.
I looked up in astonishment, and found that there was no longer Hua Xishuang in the crowd, Zhuo Mingfeng said, the process is far more important than the result, and now I seem to understand what he means by the process, what I am experiencing is the process, and the result is ......
As for the result, I will become another version of myself!
