Chapter Thirty-Eight: Out of the City
The shopkeeper, relieved a little when he heard this, went downstairs and looked out through the crack in the door, and by the light of the lantern, he saw only a plain man, and no one else was seen. Then he turned around and came to the shelf and took a jar of wine, came to the door, opened the door to a gap that could only accommodate one jar of wine, and was about to push the wine out, but was blocked by the master.
"I'm not a bad person, I'm just here to drink and give money." As he spoke, the young man threw a piece of broken silver into the store through the crack in the door.
Only then did the shopkeeper relax his heart, open the door, and apologize with a smile: "Today, the owner of Weng and the proton of that Fang country, that is, the big fool, were intercepted by the gangsters, and a group of knights died, as well as two women, so this heart is a little heavier, don't blame you." ”
The young master has long been numb to being called a fool, and even more numb to being intercepted and killed today, what happened to him, when others said it so lightly, he was not touched at all.
"It's not strange, as long as there's wine." The master didn't wait for the store to open the door, and pushed the door in by himself.
"Please, I'll go outside and pick up the money bag." The shopkeeper said.
The master didn't speak, picked up the jar of wine at the door, entered the store, sat down when he saw the table and stool, tore open the wine seal and drank heavily.
The shopkeeper picked up the money bag that he had just thrown out, and then went to the store to pick up the broken silver, and then greeted the master.
"This guest officer, do you need some appetizers, the beef in our store is a must." The store is recommended.
"If there is any good wine and good meat, just go up." The young master had already put half a jar of wine into his stomach, and the anesthetic effect of alcohol made him a little excited.
"Then you wait a minute, I'll go and prepare."
The liquor store is not big, only the store is run by one person, and a little, a plate full of beef is served. At this time, there was no wine in the altar, and the master grabbed a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, and the master was disheartened, how could he have the heart to taste the store's self-proclaimed must.
After about a quarter of an hour's effort, I don't know where the master's stomach came from, and there is no feeling of belly swelling under the two jars of wine, let alone drunkenness. It is rare for the store to see such a large number of customers, so they were surprised and went to get another jar of wine.
The master took the wine and drank it by himself, the sharp beef was not missing, this is already the seventh jar of wine that the master drank tonight, the first six jars may just be foreshadowing, and this seventh altar is about to make the master forget everything for a while, especially the dead knot.
A jar of wine has not yet bottomed out, and the master began to find the feeling of fluttering immortals, which first appeared in the banquet in the palace, and then in the Yanlai Lou Xiazhuang branch, and now again the master is drunk, intoxicated, and forgets everything.
"Shopkeeper, another jar." The master's hand swayed slowly, and he poured the wine that made him drunk without any accuracy, and most of the wine failed to pour into his mouth, but went down the river, pouring straight into his neck, and flowing all over his upper body. When the altar was lowered, the young man shook it and shouted again: "The store has another altar, no, two altars." ”
The shopkeeper who was guarding the side, seeing that the master was already drunk, persuaded him: "Guest officer, you are already drunk, I am afraid that it will hurt your body if you drink again." It's better to come back another day. ”
"Where is there so much nonsense, let you take it, you can take it, I buy wine, you sell wine, just bring it."
"Hey, let's have a jar first, don't worry, you drink slowly." The shopkeeper had no choice but to fetch another jar and bring it again.
The master tore open the wine seal, the action was already a little stiff, and he drank the wine jar, but unfortunately he drank less and sprinkled more, and it was half a jar down, and the master couldn't drink it at all, so he put down the wine jar and rested.
"It's late at night, if you don't come back tomorrow, you can put it here first, and the small one will be put away for you." The shopkeeper is kind in his heart, and he doesn't want to let the master drink it anymore, so he urges it.
"Well, disturb the rest of the store, I ......, I'll ...... Walk. The master's tongue began to curl, and he could no longer say a complete sentence, and stood up, not forgetting to mention the half jar of wine that had been put down. Then he walked out of the store.
"Wait a minute, the guest officer still needs to find money." The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped.
"No, no need to look for it, reward you." The young master twisted his body and moved his chaotic steps to find the center of gravity so as not to fall.
"You can take care of as much as you want. There are also Hakka officials who are nearby, and the small ones will send you back. The store didn't have time to weigh and estimate it, so he took a piece of broken silver as a way to find money and stuffed it into the master's hand, but the master didn't take it.
"Don't give...... Face, you, you...... Do you know who and who I am? The master asked.
"The little one has no eyes, who are you?"
"I ...... I'm not a childe, I'm ...... Master. ”
The shopkeeper had already heard that Fang Guolai's proton son Xiaobai was a fool, and he said that he was not his son Xiaobai when he met people, but this time it was right in front of him. Fang Cai didn't die and said that he was a big fool, but this person's words and deeds are not stupid, he is just a drunken putty.
"Oh, the little boy is talking nonsense, please forgive me." The shopkeeper threw himself on his knees and begged for mercy.
"Hi you, you...... What I just said, that's right, I'm really a big, big, fool, I'm used to it, and I'm not allowed to kneel. The young man stammered and walked out of the wine shop.
The shopkeeper who was still kneeling there dared to get up, until he couldn't hear the footsteps of the young man and quietly raised his head to confirm that he had walked away, then he stood up and wiped the sweat on his head as if he had been drenched in heavy rain. I was secretly glad to have met a kind-hearted son.
The master carried half a jar of wine, only to feel that the stars were spinning and the ground was shaking, but fortunately, his pace was "steady". After walking for about an hour, they came to the west gate of the outer city.
The guards at the gate were allowed to pass only after carefully questioning everyone who entered and left the city because of the fact that the lord had been intercepted today. The master was naturally stopped.
"Drunk like this bear, and still want to go out of the city? Don't want to die? Do you have any identification?" The little official asked scoldingly.
"Hmph, this ...... Little brother, I didn't bring my ID card when I came, or or, or I memorized my ID card...... Number? The little master said with a snort.
"Where did you come from, fooling here." The little official understood the ID number and was about to raise his hand to fight.
Xiao Ye was a little conscious, how could he be beaten, and after thinking about it, he really had an object on his body that might be able to prove his identity, and then he groped left and right, and found a waist card on his waist, which was the "gold" waist card of the Chi Scale Academy. It's a pity that this hand doesn't listen to the call, and I can't solve the waist card after trying again, and the little master is simply puzzled, and he shows the waist card to the little official.
"This little ...... Brother, look at this, is this fast waist card okay? ”
The little official saw a pool of scale academy "gold" waist cards through the torch, and knew in his heart that this person was not an idle person, not to mention the person holding the waist card, even his students should also hold power in the court, how dare such people intercept, then changed their faces, and said with a smile: "Sir, the little ones are all farting, don't take it to heart, I will help you out of the city." ”
"Well, some words, indeed, put ...... , I don't care, I, I can get out, out of the city. ”
"You can go out of the city, I'll help you."
"Hehe, you don't need to help, help, you can walk by yourself." The young master was stubborn and resolute, and before he could take half a step, he stumbled and almost fell, and the little wine left was scattered on the ground.
In this way, he swayed out of the city gate, but outside the city was a different world, looking at the city tower with his back, without the candlelight, everything became clearer and more peaceful. It's just that in the eyes of the master, the stars will spin from time to time.
