Chapter 036: Drunk Five Continents, Incense Quartet
"So, I want to ask my mother-in-law, about eight years ago, do you remember my wife coming here......" Du Xiaobai said weakly.
Xiao Yuyao, who changed into casual clothes after bathing, added another glass of water to Du Xiaobai's cup, which was already the eleventh cup. Xiao Yuyao forced a smile, covered her mouth and turned around to continue cooking.
From the time Du Xiaobai and Granny Meng sat on the sofa, Du Xiaobai had told her story five times, but who knows, this Granny Meng, who still maintains the appearance of the country and the city, suddenly committed dementia, Du Xiaobai observed for a while, and corrected Xiao Yuyao, this Granny Meng is not dementia at all, it seems that it is probably senile amnesia.
Du Xiaobai, who wanted to cry without tears, could only repeat Shao Qingqing's story over and over again, and his mouth was dry.
"What's your wife's name?" asked Granny Meng for the sixth time.
Shao ...... Shao Qingqing ......: "Du Xiaobai felt that he was already standing on the edge of the cliff of collapse.
"How did she die?" Granny Meng continued to ask with big innocent eyes.
"Difficult birth...... Bleeding profusely......" Du Xiaobai licked his chapped lips, he felt as if his lips were living in the Sahara Desert.
"Are there two other children who are also dead?" Granny Meng watched the two little children run past her, and suddenly seemed to remember something.
Du Xiaobai's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Yes, yes, there are two children, and they also died half an hour after my wife's death." ”
Granny Meng's eyes rolled, and she asked again for the seventh time, "What's your wife's name?"
Du Xiaobai felt that he had fallen from the brink of collapse and lay down on the sofa in a gloomy manner.
Xiao Yuyao brought a plate of fruit at the right time, and said sympathetically: "Brother, eat some fruit." ”
Du Xiaobai didn't move, lying on the sofa, facing the ceiling, and sang leisurely: "Give me a glass of amnesia water, so that I won't be sad for the rest of my life~"
Granny Meng gave a thumbs up and couldn't help but praise: "Young man, although your story is not very clear, your singing is not bad. ”
Du Xiaobai felt as if he had been stabbed again, and made a move of spitting blood, which provoked Xiao Yuyao to be happy.
At this time, after a noise of children outside the house, a woman's voice came: "What?
Xiao Yuyao suddenly turned around and ran out: "Sister Tianlan is back!"
Du Xiaobai struggled to get up, but found that Granny Meng, who was sitting on the sofa next to her, actually fell asleep with her head propped up, and Halazi flowed down her arm, and he hurriedly took the paper to help her dry it gently.
Alas, this Granny Meng is still a little cuter when she falls asleep...... Du Xiaobai looked at the sleeping Granny Meng and sighed secretly in his heart.
At this time, Xiao Yuyao and a young woman stood at the door.
The woman was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, wearing a sky blue knee-length dress, her bronzed skin was shining brightly, her figure was well-proportioned and toned, and she wore a necklace around her neck, and a green agate-like pendant hung at the bottom of the necklace, simple and exquisite. The woman is not as bright as Xiao Yuyao and Granny Meng, but it makes people look very comfortable and gives people a feeling of softness like water.
For some reason, the title of a piano piece came to Du Xiaobai's mind - "Adhelina by the Water".
Du Xiaobai has not studied this piano piece in depth, and he doesn't even know who Adrina is. He has lived for 30 years, and in his impression, the melodious song pours out a kind of attachment and yearning, and the title of this song represents a kind of familiarity and innocence.
He felt as if time around him had slowed down again, and the blood in his body had become very quiet, but it seemed to be filled with endless power.
Both women saw Du Xiaobai's action of wiping Granny Meng's saliva just now, and after being a little surprised, they both smiled.
"This is the eldest brother Du Xiaobai I just recognized, this is my mother-in-law's goddaughter, Meng Tianlan, and my good sister. Xiao Yuyao whispered to the two of them to introduce each other.
Du Xiaobai smiled slightly, he was still immersed in that comfortable feeling, and he really couldn't think of any words to say hello. Meng Tianlan just smiled and nodded, as if he said hello, and didn't say more than half a word.
Xiao Yuyao looked at the two of them back and forth, feeling a little strange in her heart, but she couldn't say why, she only felt that maybe it was because of the things that happened in the past two days, and her nerves might be too nervous. She shook her head to sober herself up, and then pulled Du Xiaobai to the cooking room and asked Sister Tianlan to take care of the sleeping Granny Meng.
Xiao Yuyao handed Du Xiaobai a lunch box, secretly stuffed a small bottle of liquor, and told him to give it to Grandpa Lu Kang while his mother-in-law was sleeping.
After Du Xiaobai left the house, Granny Meng, who was napping on the sofa, opened her eyes and said angrily: "Yaoyao, did you secretly send wine to Lu Kang again?" To be honest, I can smell it. ”
Xiao Yuyao was helpless, poured another small glass of wine, sent it to Granny Meng, and said angrily: "A thousand-year-old goblin, the nose is really good, just this one! I see that your dementia is drunk with alcohol!"
Granny Meng hummed a little song lightly, and said indifferently: "Can you blame me for this? Isn't it for people to drink the wine that Lu Kang kept here!" After speaking, she drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
Meng Tianlan said while cleaning up the toys on the ground: "That's Grandpa Lu likes you, and he is reluctant to drink the wine he brews, so he is here, you can pour it well, he is like an alcoholic compared to him, I see, if you can't control your mouth anymore, I will take the children to the school, and I won't live here." Guarding a disobedient old lady every day, it is better to go to school every day to teach the children to learn!"
Xiao Yuyao gently echoed beside her: "That's it!"
Granny Meng slammed the wine glass in her hand on the table, pinched her waist and stood up and roared angrily: "Who are you two with each other? Meng Tianlan! Have you forgotten who saved you? Xiao Yuyao! Do you Lingji Hall not want to do it!"
Xiao Yuyao didn't have the slightest fear, and hummed a little song gently, and said lightly: "Lingji Hall can completely let Sister Tianlan take care of it!"
Meng Tianlan was also accustomed to seeing Granny Meng's madness, and also hummed a little song softly, and said in the same calm manner: "Mother-in-law is kind to me, so I want to repay my kindness." You don't care for your body so much, I want to help you take care of your body~"
Granny Meng saw that her fists were invincible and her four hands were invincible, her mouth was deflated, she sat down on the sofa, pretending to wipe her tears and said aggrievedly: "You know how to bully me~ You know how to bully me~"
Without a moment's effort, Granny Meng, who pretended to be pitiful, looked left and right, and asked, "Tianlan, when did you come back?"
Meng Tianlan didn't reply, just looked at Granny Meng, and sure enough, within a few seconds, her mother-in-law leaned back on the sofa again and fell asleep.
The two daughters sighed lightly at the same time, and together they helped carry their mother-in-law to a room, closed the door gently, and then came to the kitchen together.
"Mother-in-law's illness, suddenly it's like a different person, and she sleeps when she forgets something, if it's safer at home, if it's outside, it's very dangerous, Yaoyao, is there really no way to cure this disease?" Meng Tianlan asked.
Xiao Yuyao shook her head slightly, sighed and continued to chop vegetables and cook for the children.
Meng Tianlan began to peel a green onion, and then asked, "Yaoyao, what's the matter with your eldest brother, it's rare that you will recognize a big brother......
Xiao Yuyao replied: "Wait and talk about this first, Sister Tianlan, why didn't you talk when you greeted him just now?"
"I nodded to him!" Meng Tianlan finished peeling the green onion and took out two eggs from a box.
"Eat egg fried rice again, you're not afraid of getting tired," Xiao Yuyao muttered, "but why do I always feel weird......."
Meng Tianlan knocked the eggs into the bowl, added a little salt, and stirred them with chopsticks. She looked at the rapid whirling egg liquid in the bowl and said softly, "A few days ago, I had a dream. What do you think I'm dreaming about?"
Xiao Yuyao pursed her lips and smiled: "I must have dreamed of a man!"
Meng Tianlan said angrily: "Go! Let me tell you, I dreamed that I had become a little bird with blue light, but it was beautiful, and then it flew, and it kept flying, and it landed on the shoulder of a man, the appearance of that man, I can't remember it clearly, but the appearance seems to be quite similar to your big brother, I was stunned when I saw him just now, you say strange, is it strange......"
"Huh?" Xiao Yuyao heard this, the knife in her hand slipped and almost cut her fingers, "Can't you...... Although he looks a little more handsome now than before, he has just become like this......"
"What do you mean?" Meng Tianlan stopped stirring.
"The thing...... That's ......," Xiao Yuyao said.
At this time, on the white bull ant boat by the river outside the house, Old Man Lu's laughter resounded in the sky.
"It's been more than half a year since the last time Yiyi's birthday was born, and I'm really not a drop of wine! Good wine! Good wine!
Du Xiaobai looked at the old man Lu who had already started to go crazy before taking two sips of wine, and couldn't help but laugh along: "Old man, what kind of wine are you drinking, full of strength!"
Old Man Lu put the small wine bottle in front of Du Xiaobai's nose: "Take a sip?"
Du Xiaobai looked at the old man Lu who was already like a red date, and took the wine bottle: "Take a sip, take a sip!"
Who knew that the old man Lu held the bottle and didn't let go, only to hear him say: "Just one sip! It's not that I'm reluctant, but this wine, it's really too powerful, you drink it for the first time, but be careful!"
Du Xiaobai looked at the wine in the bottle and responded: "Knowing the old man, I'll take a sip!"
Old Man Lu let go of his hand, his fingers dangled in the air for a moment, and finally pointed at Du Xiaobai: "Okay, just one bite!"
"Just one sip!" Du Xiaobai took the wine bottle, smelled it, and a strong aroma of old wine came to his nose, and when he took a sip, the wine went into his stomach, Du Xiaobai, who was sitting on the deck, instantly began to shake, feeling that the world was spinning, he hurriedly struggled to support the ground with both hands, but he didn't expect a slip, or plop and lay on the ground. The moment he fell to the ground, the wine bottle in his hand was picked up by the old man.
"Aha......" Du Xiaobai's ears heard Old Man Lu's loud laughter.
After a long time, Du Xiaobai relieved himself, struggled to sit up, and said in shock: "Old man, to be honest, the last time I drank in the world, I drank at least three catties, and I didn't dazzle my eyes, you wine...... It's too ruthless, isn't it...... I've only drunk half a sip of it......"
"How can mortal wine be compared to the wine I brew, how about it, do you still want to drink it?" Old Man Lu said with a smile, his rosacea sparkling in the sunlight.
"Old man...... This wine, did you make it?" Du Xiaobai was surprised.
"Boy, do you know who I am?" asked Old Man Lu drunkenly and mysteriously.
"This ...... You're not...... Grandpa Lu Kang?" Du Xiaobai felt that Old Man Lu seemed to be drunk, and asked this kind of knowingly question.
"That's the old man, I just changed my surname, tell you, we are our own family, old man, when I die, the world is still reigning Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor......" Old man Lu took another sip of wine and a piece of meat.
"Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, your family, you are also surnamed Du...... Du Kang??" Du Xiaobai exclaimed.
