The Golden Age Chapter 2 The Farewell Banquet, This Time There Is No Farewell Period
Shark fin in clear soup, Buddha jumping over the wall, mandarin duck homecoming, golden pig annunciation, double flowers, hydrangea perch, superb vegetarian abalone wing, and flowers in the fog
One after another hard dishes came up, dazzling, even I, who had seen the big scene, couldn't help but be secretly frightened, silently calculated how much this table of banquets would cost, and then smiled at Nur. Nuer smiled bitterly, blushing a little, just the money he packed, it was not enough to mess around in a small restaurant on the street, where did he think that Luo Xiankun would make him so generous?
However, Nuer is an open-minded person, and the relationship with this fellow villager is not very good, and the amount of money in the bag is not so important.
The atmosphere during the banquet was lively, Luo Xiankun toasted the bigwigs who came to cheer like a groom, and his daughter-in-law, the gorgeous Zhang Qinlan, was holding a swaddling baby, smiling next to her, with a happy face.
The others laughed and the cups went back and forth, and I was too hungry to be on the road for a few days, so I and Nur worked tirelessly to destroy the dishes on the table, but these dishes, though exquisite, were not to our liking, and we could not eat much until we tasted them.
At this time, Huang Yangshen next to him leaned over and asked me in a low voice: "Team Leader Chen, there are so many big guys here today, why don't we go up and toast two cups?" "
I looked back at the main table and the guests next to me, shrugged my shoulders, and whispered: "Come on, today is Lao Luo singing the main show, let's not take the lead, besides, you have such a deep background, it seems that you don't need to please the big guy?" Huang Yangshen is the only son of the contemporary head of the Huang family in Jingmen, the elders of the family have served in the big house, born noble, and I said this, just to tease me, he raised his glass and touched me, and said with a wry smile: "Come on, what kind of person am I, you look at Zhao Chengfeng, sit directly at the main table, but compare to our scenery." "
Zhao Chengfeng is of equal status to us, but the reason why he sits at the main table is only because Luo Xiankun and Zhang Qinlan are under the Heavenly Master Dao of Longhu Mountain, and he, as the leader of this generation, is just Zhang Luo there, I ignore his provocation, and after clinking glasses with him, I don't say anything more, and continue to eat.
A meal was bland, Luo Xiankun came over to toast at each table, except for the words of "congratulations", he didn't say anything, and Zhang Luo grabbed Zhou for this kid during the banquet, and there were countless bits and pieces, but in the end he grabbed a delicate little wooden sword, and everyone praised him, saying that this child was talented and intelligent, and he grabbed a sword, and he turned out to be a big swordsman who shocked the rivers and lakes in the future, and he will become a great weapon. Zhang Qinlan was holding this little doll named "Luo Jinlong", with a happy face and bright sunshine, while Luo Xiankun kept toasting, with a drunken momentum.
This is the home of Longhu Mountain, I am very bland, the banquet is gone, I feel not very full, go out and go around, I and Nuer two in the nearby alley to find a tavern, the two together, hot soup hot pot, a few bottles of red star two pot head, but eat very happily.
The two brothers were rarely at leisure, drinking and chatting under the shed set up by this roadside stall, talking about the years in Mali Mountain, yesterday was not today, and unconsciously felt a little sad, at this moment, a person came next to him, holding four or five wine bottles, and paused directly on the table. The wine is good wine, Wuliangye, and this person is Luo Xiankun, who should have been accompanying his wife and children at home to count the gifts and money, only to see that his face was flushed, and he was full of wine in front of us, looked at me stunned, and stammered: "Erdan, can I sit here?" "
Since I changed my name, few people have called me this young name, but Luo Xiankun has a very cordial meaning when he talks about it at the moment, and I don't refuse, I asked the boss to bring a stool and add a pair of dishes and chopsticks.
After greeting me, I asked, "What's the matter, why don't you go back to guard your wife and son, and come to mess around with our two old bachelors?" "
Luo Xiankun's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he glared at me and said, "I knew that you would rather squat on the street and drink wine and eat meat than drink my baby's full moon wine in that hotel. If you don't want to, do I really want to? "
When he said this, Qing Xù was a little excited all of a sudden, and Nuer hurriedly persuaded beside him: "Hey, Xiao Luo, have you drunk too much, if not, I will call your wife to come and pick you up." "
Luo Xiankun waved his hand, snatched the bowl from the hand of the waiter next to him, first poured out all the two pots we drank, and then opened the good wine he brought, poured the bowl full, and then said: "I'm leaving, I'll go to Guangnan next week, thinking that we will be separated from each other, and we won't see each other for a long time, whether you treat me as a brother or not, but this parting wine, I still have to drink."
With that, he touched my glass to himself, and drank it "goo, goo."
Nur and I glanced at each other, and without saying much, accompanied him to drink all the wine in the cup, and then persuaded him to eat two mouthfuls of food, and then said slowly-although some cultivators can not get drunk in a thousand cups, but most of them are still ordinary physique, Luo Xiankun had drunk a lot before, and if he suddenly poured a few bottles at this time, it is estimated that we will have to send him home. Luo Xiankun ate two bites of food, suddenly snapped, slapped the chopsticks on the table, squinted at me drunk, and said with a wine burp: "Erdan, do you particularly look down on me?" "
I smiled bitterly and said What is the matter, you have a wife and children now, and it is too late to envy, why do you say such hurtful things?
Luo Xiankun immediately cried, wiped his tears and said: "I know that you look down on me, you think I have no ability, I just climbed the high branches of Zhang Tianshi's family in Longhu Mountain - yes, I have been inferior to you since I was a child, and I have always been inferior to you, even if I worship under the gate of Longhu Mountain, except for the thing given by my father and mother, there is nothing to be proud of, but do you know how hard I work?" When I was in Longhu Mountain, I got up at five o'clock in the morning every day to practice, and I didn't go to bed until one o'clock at night, I was extremely diligent, but I was not as good as others, and later married Xiaolan, I knew a lot of things, I knew that Longhu Mountain and Maoshan were not right, and I was also warned, saying that it was best not to get too close to you."
He choked up his voice, intermittently, and talked about his suffering for so many years.
A poor child from the mountainous area of Miaojiang, and has no talent for cultivation, carefully survives in this system, takes care of this, and is afraid of that, always worried about losing all his qiē, and the qi ē he is proud of, but after all, it is not as good as the aura brought by his wife, this mood makes him extremely depressed, like a snail walking with this heavy shell, even the most common things such as crying and laughing, you have to be careful, the hardships and sufferings in this, makes it difficult for him to talk to anyone.
After three rounds of drinking, Luo Xiankun drank a little floating, took my hand and said, "Erdan, I know that you are blaming me, thinking that I have been deliberately alienating you all these years, but I can't help it, you know?" All the qiē I have now are given by Longhu Mountain, if I get too close to you, then I will lose all the qi qi I have now, and I will be beaten back to my original form, I am afraid, I don't want to go back to Mali Mountain, I don't want to stay in that mountain nest for the rest of my life, and I hesitate for most of the day to even eat more salt."
As if he had found the object of pouring, Luo Xiankun said countless words, sometimes sober, sometimes confused, and soon the five bottles of wine he brought over were empty, and the people were almost drunk, lying on the road and vomiting, the sour smell was abnormal, and listening to Luo Xiankun's mental journey, Nuer and I also felt a lot of emotion, I didn't think I had drunk a lot, and I couldn't take care of it.
Fortunately, at this time, the BB machine on Luo Da Dick's waist rang, but his wife Zhang Qinlan couldn't see him, she was anxious, and kept calling him.
I found a phone booth and called back, Zhang Qinlan quickly sent someone to pick up Luo Xiankun, while Nur and I took the account and staggered through the street.
The two walked silently for a long time, and suddenly Noor let out a long sigh.
After this drink, the friendship is over.
Under the street lamp, we looked at each other and found that before we knew it, we were all in tears.
Only the best brothers will not hide their love.
It was a bit cold in winter, and I sat on the curb of the road with Noor, and I took out two cigarettes, lit them for him and me, and took a deep breath, feeling that the smoke was so hot that it was choking. Nuer saw that I couldn't let go of my appearance, and lightly persuaded me: "Don't be like this, Luo Da Dick's road is his own way, it's not that he has no choice, but he is afraid of too many things, he is deeply trapped in it, and let that name and Li override his emotions, it is he who chooses to give up and compromise, it has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with all of us." "
I hiccuped, and my mind was full of the bold words made by the two teenagers when I walked out of Mali Mountain with Luo Da Dick, and we said that even if we died, we would die in our dreams.
We also say that teenagers should keep their sweat and chase their dreams, just like chasing the rising sun.
However, after many years, Luo Da Dick finally chose reality, he lived his ideal life, put a full moon wine, enough for our village family to live for a few years, but he lost himself on the road, and I could only watch him, walking farther and farther, stuck in the quagmire and unable to reach out to help.
Friendship has come to an end, what else is there to say?
Sitting on the side of the road, I took a deep puff of my inferior cigarette, and then, with tears in my eyes, sang the old song:
Time has passed and will never return,
The past can only be recalled,
Reminiscing about childhood bamboo horse green plums,
Two little guesses day and night,
The spring breeze blew the stamens red again,
Thou hast added a new year,
You're going to change your mind,
Like time is hard to turn back,
I can only snuggle up to each other in my dreams
