Shangjiang Castle is a small city in Cheongju, backed by Xiaofeng Mountain, facing an unknown small river, because it is in the upper reaches of the river, so it is named Shangjiang City.

Nan Cao walked for I don't know how many days, and only came to this Shangjiang City at this time.

"What kind of city is this, I haven't seen an inn after walking for a long time." Nan Ke muttered in his mouth, his hair was unkempt at this time, his white robe was tattered, with ink, fruit pulp and the blood of the ape sticking to it, and he was still holding two stone jars of wine in his arms.

Nan Ke walked left and right, he didn't drink a lot of wine along the way, and the full wine bottle was already at the bottom at this time.

In the distance, Nan Ke looked forward to seeing a wine flag.

"Oh? Tavern? Forget it, if you can't find an inn, let's rest in this tavern. ”

As soon as Nan Ke stepped into the tavern, Xiao Er immediately greeted him, and saw Nan Ke twitch the corners of his mouth first, but he was still smiling: "Guest officer, what do you want?" ”

"A good pot of wine first...... Oh, no need, I have my own good wine, come two taels of beef, and come to a bowl of Yangchun noodles! With that, he found a table and sat down.

"Okay!" Xiao Er finished agreeing, turned around and ran to the counter, leaned in the shopkeeper's ear and whispered: "Shopkeeper, look at this kid...... Can you afford it? ”

Although Nan Ke was a little drunk, his ears were still very sensitive, and he was immediately unhappy: "You little two, the dog looks down on people!" Not to mention whether you can afford to eat, even if you buy your small shop, it is not a problem! ”

The little second looked embarrassed, and just wanted to apologize, only to hear an old voice at the next table: "Hehe, little er, you are out of sight, you are still doing tavern business, the two jars of wine that the little brother is holding in his arms are not mortal, do you still think that others can't afford to eat?" ”

I saw that the person who opened his mouth was full of white hair, a rosacea nose was red, his clothes were all patched, and there was a cane in front of the table.

The little second was respectful to this person: "What you taught me is that the third master, you can't compensate this son." ”

Nan Ke was interested, and looked at the old man called Hanako: "Old man, this tavern is full of wine, how do you know that my two jars are good wine?" ”

The old man Hanako laughed twice: "Little brother, you still haven't drunk enough!" It's always called Hanako, who traveled north and south when she was young, what wine I haven't seen, what wine haven't I drunk? Spirits, light wines, fruit wines, distilled spirits, grain wines, even the imperial wine in the palace, the old name Hanako has tasted it! As soon as you entered the door, I smelled a burst of fruity aroma, it is not a fruit, there should be many categories, among which there is also the rotten taste of some old fruits, it should be a rare monkey bar! ”

Nan Ke's eyes lit up, as if he had met a master's bosom friend, and his tone and title changed: "Haha, what the predecessors said is right, these two jars of wine were stolen from the monkey cave on Xiaofeng Mountain, the old-timers are people who understand wine, the so-called wine is a thousand cups of confidants, today I drank these two jars of wine with my seniors, how about it?" ”

I saw that the old man Huazi raised his eyebrows, raised one hand high, but as if he was a little stubborn, he kept trembling, and slapped the table suddenly: "You kid looks down on people!" Call the old man Hanako and I drink your wine for nothing? If you want me to drink with you today, then you and I must be brothers, don't let me take advantage of your good wine! ”

Nan Ke was stunned for a moment, and then thought that he had said something wrong and made others unhappy, but he didn't expect that this old man called Hanako was still a lover, so he laughed twice: "Okay!" The old brother is open-minded, and that kid got acquainted with the old brother in this year-old brother! ”

The old name Huazi laughed: "I'm going to do three things at home, the people of Shangjiang City give face, and when they see me, they all call me the third master, so you can call me the third brother!" ”

"In Xia Fan Beis, the third brother called me ......"

Before the words fell, the third master raised his trembling hand again, smashed it on the table, made a loud noise, and said loudly: "Brother Fan! ”

Both of them laughed, but the shopkeeper's face was distressed: "My table......

After three rounds of drinking, the more they drank, the happier they became, and Nan Cao also told all the things he had seen and heard in the Southern Dynasty along the way, of course, he did not mention anything about the Northern Regions and the Eighteen Families.

The third master also knows everything and says everything, his name is Guo Feng, he used to be a person in the martial arts, when he was young, he traveled all over the north and south of the river, and he was bold, he met countless friends in the rivers and lakes, and there were many disciples under the door, among which the big disciple was placed on him to have high hopes, and he taught all the skills of the body, but unfortunately the third master forgot the story of the cat teaching the tiger and left a hand, the big disciple was actually a long head and a backbone, taking advantage of the third master's unpreparedness, he broke all the tendons and tendons of his hands and feet, and abolished his martial arts. Shengsheng escaped, fell on the pipeline and was rescued by a team of businessmen, the friends of the third master heard that at this time, they were all from all over the rivers and lakes, which scared off the big disciple and saved his life, and now he lives in this Shangjiang City, and plans to spend the rest of his life here.

After hearing this, Nan Cao couldn't help but be angry in his heart: "Third brother, how is your unscrupulous disciple now?" Didn't your friends kill him? ”

The third master shook his head: "His kung fu is blue, none of my friends can beat him, even if he has the heart and is powerless, I won't ask them to do this, after all, the master and apprentice are a game, he can be unkind, I can't be unjust!" Not to mention ......"

The third master wanted to speak and stopped, and finally lifted the wine glass: "That's it, don't mention these broken things about Chen sesame and rotten grain, you and I should be happy when we get together today!" ”

Nan Cao also raised the cup: "Yes! I am really fortunate to meet the third brother today, and I am really lucky to be a big white! ”

……

The next morning, Nan Ke raised his eyelids in a drowsy manner, and the furnishings around him were somewhat familiar, the same as the tables, chairs and benches in the tavern.

"Knock knock" There were several knocks on the door: "Guest officer, I heard you wake up, shall I go to help you make a basin of washing water?" It was the voice of the tavern junior that Nan Ke knew that he had slept in the tavern room in the end.

"Thank you!"

Nan Ke was about to get dressed, but caught a glimpse of a new white robe on the bedside table, with a letter on it.

Brother Fan personally revealed:

Brother Fan, brother I am a rough person, I don't know a few big characters, Mr. Wang, who teaches in the head of the city, wrote this letter on behalf of Mr. Wang, you and my brother have been friends for only one day, today should have been drunk again, but unfortunately the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, this morning I received a letter from the deceased, inviting me to go to Wumei Mountain for a gathering, the invitation of the deceased is naturally not delayed, if Brother Fan has nothing else to do, he will wait for the elder brother in this tavern for a few days, and when I come back, we will have a good drink! Over the years, many friends have known about my brother's situation and sent some money, and I saved some by begging myself, and bought a white robe for my brother, which was regarded as a meeting gift! - Luo Feng. ”
