Chapter 1: Born like a mayfly Mr. Chen

Next Chapter

Qiuyuefang is located in the southern region of Dajing, there are about three or four hundred households in dozens of miles, although there are fewer households, but it is also particularly lively.

The market is full of people, the vendors sitting on the side of the street shouting and shouting, the old man in the liquor shop is giving people drinks, his face is smiling, and the butcher of the butcher shop is stewing bones in an attempt to attract customers, and the pedestrians walk down the street, sometimes stopping, sometimes talking a few words.

"Drinking."

A pair of black and white soap boots stepped into the wine shop.

The visitor carried his hands on his back, wearing a green robe and a handsome face, with two strands of hair hanging down his cheeks, and a gourd hanging from his waist.

"Come on......"

The old man Zhang from the wine shop agreed, and then hurriedly ran over.

After seeing the comer, Old Man Zhang paused.

Chen Changsheng smiled slightly, and then handed the gourd tied around his waist to the other party.

"You ......"

Old man Zhang's words stopped abruptly, and he suddenly froze and froze in place.

Chen Changsheng looked at the old man Zhang in front of him and said, "Don't you recognize me?" ”

"Of course ......"

Old man Zhang pursed his mouth and said a little sluggishly: "I recognize!" ”

Chen Changsheng said: "Qiuyue brewing, first serve a pot, and the gourd is full." ”

"Well... Good. ”

Old man Zhang agreed, took Chen Changsheng's gourd, and then turned around to drink, but there was a little more fear in his expression than just now.

Later, when he was drinking, he was also a little trembling, as if he was afraid that some wine would spill out, which would make this 'Mr. Chen' unhappy.

Chen Changsheng came to the wine shop and sat down, and Old Man Zhang quickly brought a pot of autumn moon brew.

"Sir, take your time."

Old man Zhang said, his eyes were full of respect, and he was a little more timid.

As if he didn't want to talk to this gentleman more, Old Man Zhang turned around and went to give gourd wine.

Chen Changsheng didn't care either, and then poured himself wine.

The wine entered his throat, accompanied by the wind blowing into the wine shop in March, and his expression was a little more happy.

His gaze swept outside the liquor store.

In the blink of an eye, it has been three years, and in the past few decades, Qiuyuefang has become more and more lively.

When the old man Zhang made the wine in the gourd, the gentleman sitting in the wine shop had already drunk half of the pot, and his face was a little more dizzy.

"Sir, the wine is ready."

"Let it go."

"Huh."

After Old Man Zhang put down the gourd, he wanted to leave.

Chen Changsheng said, "What are you doing in a hurry?" Sit down and talk. ”

Old man Zhang paused, although he was unwilling in his heart, he didn't dare to disobey this gentleman at this moment.

He sat down carefully, but there was timidity in his eyes that could not be hidden.

Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "Are you so afraid of me?" ”

Old man Zhang looked bitter and said, "I'm also old, don't scare me, sir." ”

His tone was almost pleading, and even more helpless.

After hearing this, Chen Changsheng said: "I'm not a monster, and I'm not a demon, why did I scare you again?" ”

Old man Zhang glanced at him, but quickly looked away, he felt uncomfortable, smashed his hand on the table, and said: "I saw you for the first time at the age of sixteen, and it has been more than fifty years now, my father and mother have already settled in the earth, and I am also seventy out of sixty, and I am not old anymore......"

He raised his head and continued, "But you, Mr. Chen, are still the same as when I saw you when I was sixteen years old. ”

"Why am I not scared?"

Old man Zhang lowered his head, not daring to look at this gentleman.

Chen Changsheng took a sip of wine and said, "Look at your cowardice. ”

Old man Zhang was smuggling, as if he wanted to refute two sentences, but he didn't think about it, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"I'm here to fight wine or drink, when are you going to hurt you when you see me?" Chen Changsheng said.

That's right, Chen Changsheng comes once every three years, every time he is like this, put on a pot, and then fill a gourd of wine, sometimes sit down and chat a few words, sometimes leave after drinking.

Old man Zhang recalled many things over the years, as if he had made up his mind, gritted his teeth and asked the doubts in his heart.

"Tell me the truth, sir, what the hell are you... What is it? ”

His eyes looked at Chen Changsheng, and his expression seemed to have a feeling of seeing death as home.

Chen Changsheng was a little surprised, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said, "This time, how dare you ask again?" ”

Old man Zhang sighed lightly and said, "I'm too old to be the same, and I don't have two years to live, so what else dare I not ask." ”

Chen Changsheng thought for a while and said, "You and I have met many times, and they can be regarded as old acquaintances, you might as well guess first, what will I be?" ”

Old man Zhang opened his mouth and said, "Don't dare to guess." ”

"I don't blame you, just guess." Chen Changsheng said.

Old man Zhang thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. is a demon?" ”

"It's not."

"Ghosts?"

"Not really."

Old man Zhang pouted for a moment, and then asked, "That's... Immortal? ”

Chen Changsheng still shook his head, but did not speak.

In fact, he himself doesn't know if it counts or not.

Old man Zhang looked at him blankly, not a monster, not a ghost, not a fairy, what could it be? He really couldn't think of it.

Chen Changsheng raised his head and looked at him and said, "It's a mayfly." ”

Old man Zhang paused for a moment and asked, "What is a mayfly?" ”

Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "It's nothing. ”

Actually, he wasn't from here, but he was sent here by accident.

And the source of all this lies in a mayfly carving.

In that archaeology, after he came into contact with a lifelike mayfly carving, an accident occurred, and his eyes suddenly went dark, and the whole person fainted.

When he woke up again, he was here.

There are no opportunities, no immortals to show the way, and unfortunately......

It was as if he had a curse on him.

Every three years, he could only wake up one day.

It's like an ordinary person sleeping, but as soon as he sleeps, he will sleep for three years, and during those three years, Chen Changsheng is only conscious and awake, but he can't feel his body, he can't see anything, he can't hear any sound, he can only think.

Every time he woke up, at the first birth of the sun, at dusk, he would die again.

Like a mayfly.

In his world, it was only eighteen days since he woke up, but in reality fifty-four years had passed in this world.

Just like the old man Zhang in front of him.

When I saw him before, he was still an ignorant and young man, but in a blink of an eye, he was already gray-haired and staggering.

All this was like bad luck around Chen Changsheng.

……

Old man Zhang's heart was full of doubts.

He wanted to ask again, but at this time, he didn't have the courage just now, and when he felt it again, he found that his back was already in a cold sweat, and his clothes were wet.

I didn't dare to ask any more.

And Chen Changsheng didn't explain what the so-called 'mayfly' was in the end, he just drank by himself.

Old man Zhang just sat like this, and didn't dare to speak anymore.

There was silence in the wine shop.

It wasn't until Chen Changsheng drank the pot of wine that the silence was broken.

Chen Changsheng asked, "I remember, you don't seem to have a wife, so you don't have any heirs, right?" ”

"Yes." Old man Zhang replied.

Chen Changsheng continued: "I didn't want to pass on your wine-making skills? ”

Old man Zhang replied: "Now that the world is better, the younger people in the workshop have gone outside, and there are a few who are willing to stay and learn my craft." ”

"That's not going to work."

Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "If you go, I won't have to drink this autumn moon brew." ”

Old man Zhang opened his mouth and said, "Aren't you embarrassed for me?" ”

Chen Changsheng smiled and said.

"I don't embarrass you."

When the wine was finished, he lifted the wine gourd and got up as if to leave.

The moment Chen Changsheng got up, Old Man Zhang's heart also seemed to have a big stone on the ground.

Chen Changsheng stepped out of the wine shop with one foot, but suddenly looked back at Old Man Zhang.

"I'll come back in three years."

Chen Changsheng said: "Remember to prepare the autumn moon brew in advance. ”

"Huh."

Old man Zhang hurriedly agreed and said, "Sir, go slowly!" ”

Under his gaze, the gentleman slowly disappeared into the neighborhood and was never seen again.

Old man Zhang breathed a long sigh of relief.

After returning to the wine shop, he sat down and was in a trance, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
