Chapter 279: Drunk in This Life
Harsh sunlight streaming in through the open windows. Piaoranzi felt a piece of light, opened his eyes, and looked at the blue sky and white clouds, oh, the sky was bright
He moved his arms, stretched his waist, and felt his body flutter. At a side glance, the house was in shambles, and the tanuki was lying asleep beside it.
"Lu Xianguan. Piao Ranzi remembered that he came here with Lu Huidao last night, and I don't know if he got up. Get out of bed, push open the door, and walk towards the main hall of the Taoist temple.
The statues of the gods in the temple have peeled off the lacquer. Piao Ranzi did not find Lu Hui, nor did he find a Taoist priest, it seems that this Taoist temple has been abandoned for a long time.
"Brother Nian, Brother Nian, where are you?" Piao Ranzi surrounded the hall and shouted a few times, but there was no response. Under the statue of Lu Zu, there was a piece of paper, Piaoranzi walked over, picked it up, and there were only two lines of words on it: "Cultivation is not convenient for people, and the rank of heavenly immortals is also empty." ”
Looking at the ink on the font, it is clear that it is newly written, could it be Lu Hui's book? Could it be that Brother Fei Nian is gone?
Piao Ranzi put the paper into his pocket, walked out of the hall, in the courtyard, a few peach blossom branches spread, very gratifying.
When he saw the peach blossoms, he thought of Our Lady of Peachyama, this stepmother, who loved him so much that she secretly ran away, and she was very sorry for her old man.
Let's go to Mount Tai and see my righteous brother Taishan Mansion Jun. Piao Ranzi thought of this, a luck, want to soar into the sky, although Mount Tai is thousands of miles away from here, he flies day and night, it will not take a few days.
Drifting luck, his feet were two feet off the ground, snapped, and fell back to the ground.
"What's the matter? Even though I can't fly fast, I can fly away. Thinking of this, Piao Ranzi flew with luck for the second time, but he still exposed the ground and fell down again.
"How can this go to Mount Tai" Piaoranzi was in a hurry, but there was nothing to do.
Piaoranzi walked around in the Taoist temple courtyard again, the left and right corridors were dilapidated, and it seemed that no one had lived in them for a long time.
"Daoye's wine is here" Outside the Taoist temple, the yellow-faced old man who sold wine shouted in. "Master Dao, please bring the wine"
Naturally, there was no voice from Lu Hui. Piao Ranzi had no choice but to open the door and go out, and it was indeed the old man, carrying two barrels of wine, waiting outside the door.
"This scholar, please take back the two barrels of wine you ordered last night," the old man said, putting the barrel forward.
"The old man, yesterday's Taoist priest, I don't know where to go this morning. That's it, I don't think it's needed. Piaoranzi said.
"How can I do that," the yellow-faced old man's face turned pale, "You two don't play tricks on me." I said I would send it this morning, how could I not want it"
"This ・・・・・・" Piaoranzi heard it, this is troublesome, people don't return it, and Lu Hui is not there, I don't know what to do.
"What this, that, I said, young man, bring the money, take the wine in, I'm good to leave. ”
"Old man, the Taoist priest really doesn't know where to go," Piao Ranzi said hurriedly.
"Okay, I'll go to Guanli to have a look" The old man who sold wine walked in with two barrels of wine, and shouted as he walked: "Master Dao, please use the wine or yesterday's Lu Xian drunk." ”
shouted a few times, but Lu didn't answer, the old man looked at the main hall again, and said to Piao Ranzi: "Don't you pay the bills"
"Hehe, old man, this is the note left by the Taoist master, he is still fresh, you see, am I telling a lie?" Piao Ranzi handed the paper to the yellow-faced old man.
"Huh, what do you mean?" the old man took and looked at it over and over again.
"I don't know. ”
"Oh, yes, Master Dao advised me to be convenient with others. Maybe these two barrels of wine, even if I put them here first, how about tomorrow when Dao Ye comes back and then get the wine money?"
"Old man, come back tomorrow. If the Taoist priest doesn't return, I don't have any wine money to send you. ”
"Young man, you can't let me take it back again, can you?" said the yellow-faced old man. "This is brewed by me, you smell it, you don't want it, who will I sell?"
As the yellow-faced old man lifted the lid of the wooden barrel, the rich aroma of wine spread, and when he smelled it, he couldn't help but have liquid surging in his mouth.
"Old man, otherwise, leave a bucket first. If Brother Nian comes back, I'll go to your house again and carry that bucket, how about it?"
"It's okay, I don't think the two of you are mortals, and you won't be repaid. The yellow-faced old man said: "This bucket will be left for you to drink first, and I will bring the bucket back." If you don't pick it up at my house today, I'll send it again tomorrow morning. So be it."
"Thank you, old man," Piaoranzi hurriedly thanked.
The yellow-faced old man took the barrel of wine and left. Piaoranzi closed the courtyard door, held the wine barrel in both hands, and returned to the west room. The whole room was filled with the aroma of wine, which was intoxicating.
There was still a water scoop in the barrel of "good wine", and I scooped a scoop of it, smelled it, and felt refreshed.
Morning wine and late sleep are all unacceptable. Of course, Piao Ranzi knows that drinking in the morning will make him groggy and poor in spirits all day. Yesterday was like that, today, looking at the sun, before the dawn, it is earlier than yesterday, and it is really wrong to drink on an empty stomach like this.
"Meow" With a cat meow, the tanuki who was sleeping with the fluttering child last night hurriedly jumped out of the window, ran to the barrel, and circled around the barrel.
"You cat, do you want to try some wine?" said Piaoranzi with a smile. The tanuki seemed to understand human speech, and meowed twice at Piaoranzi.
"Okay, tanuki, you wait, I'll get you a bowl. Piaoranzi looked around, found a large bowl, wiped it, scooped a scoop of wine, poured it into the bowl, and put it in front of the tanuki.
"Meow," the tanuki screamed happily, lay on the edge of the bowl, and licked the wine.
"Hey, funny, this cat also loves to drink," Piaoranzi laughed. The tanuki took two sips, stopped, looked at Piaoranzi, and lowered his head to lick it again.
Seeing that the tanuki was drinking deliciously, Piaoranzi felt itchy in his heart, scooped a scoop of wine, sniffed it with his nose, and thought of what he couldn't drink when he was drinking, and couldn't help but put it down.
However, smelling the fragrant smell of wine, the fluttering child is like scratching the heart in vain, and the mind is uncertain.
"him, you can't drink the wine" Piaoranzi scolded, and the tanuki was startled. He raised his neck, drank the scoop of wine, and touched his mouth, which was so refreshing
After drinking the first sip, Piao Ranzi didn't care, and drank two scoops in a row, which was enough to get drunk addiction, watching the tanuki lick a bowl of wine, moving his lazy limbs, walking towards him, and couldn't help laughing: "You cat, drunk, right?"
"Meow" replied that he was still a cat meow, and the tanuki came to Piaoranzi's side, rolling and coquettish.
"Tanuki, what do I call you?" Piao Ranzi asked the tanuki, the cat couldn't speak except for meowing twice, Piao Ranzi laughed and said, "Forget it, forget it, how can you speak human language? I'll give you a name." You're a tanuki, I'll call you a tanuki. ”
Regardless of whether the tanuki understood it or not, he said: "Brother Tanuki, where did you say that my young brother went?" ”
"Meow," that was his Tanuki brother's answer.
"Hehe, I'm fine today anyway, wait for him for a day, he won't come tomorrow, just find a way to pay back the wine money." Piaoranzi muttered to herself.
Piao Ranzi scooped up another scoop of wine, sighed and said: "Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon." In my life, there is less joy and more suffering, and now, the family affairs are slim, and the unmarried wife of the sea vow alliance does not know where she is, and she is bitter."
He muttered to himself and drank the scoop of wine, "Brother Tanuki, do you understand?"
"Meow" his raccoon brother always replied with these two monotonous words.
"When you sing about wine, what is life? For example, the morning dew, the past day is bitter. How to solve the worries, only Du Kang "sat on the edge of the bed, chanting out the window, full of passion."
"What is Du Kang, I'm Lu Xian, I'm drunk, Lu Dongbin will get drunk if he drinks it. Hahaha・・・・・・" fluttering out loud laughing.
"Meow meow meow" The tanuki laughed when he saw Piaoranzi, and also seemed to be happy, and screamed around him.
In this empty Taoist temple, only Piaoranzi's own indulgence and laughter fluttered outside.
After drinking half a barrel of wine, Piaoranzi's tongue became shorter, and his mind was dizzy.
"Since ancient times, heroes have been lonely, and only drinkers have left their names. It's not false at all" Piao Ranzi drank half a scoop, and suddenly stopped: "Heroes are lonely? Am I a hero? The drinker leaves a name, I drink like this, but it is a drinker, but what name can I leave behind? Hehe, haha, throughout the ages, they are all the same passers-by, what name can I leave behind?"
After drinking the remaining half scoop of wine, Piao Ranzi still asked himself: "What is my name?" Chu Piaoran, can he stay? What is the use of leaving it? Why should he leave it? Er Cao's body and name will be destroyed, and the rivers will not be wasted. From ancient times to the present, how many names have been submerged in the mighty river? Why should I be the only one to keep them? Why can I leave my name?"
Thinking of this, Piao Ranzi's brain hurt, and he still left a little name, on the stone tablet of the Feixian Bridge in Shuicheng. But what's the use of that? He's seen three ordinary Chinese characters: Chu Piaoran
A thousand years from now, who will remember him? Who will know him? How about knowing him?
When I thought about it, the more I thought about it, the more confused I became, and even thought: Who is I? Why am I here? Why is my life and ghost life like this? Could it be that who is in charge of the underworld?
I don't understand, he doesn't want to think about it anymore, he drinks a scoop of wine, and lays down on the bed, "I don't want to, he is uncertain about this life"
Drifting away from sleep. The tanuki was also tired with the angry Piaoranzi's joy, and lay down to sleep beside Piaoranzi.
Although it is early summer, the rain in Xiangzhou also comes frequently. In the afternoon, the sky suddenly changed and it rained lightly.
When Piaozi woke up, the sky outside the window was gray, and his mood suddenly became heavy. He stood in front of the window and saw that the courtyard door had not moved, and Lu Hui should not have come back yet.
"Brother Nian, Brother Nian, why haven't you come back yet," Piao Ranzi shouted at the courtyard.
No one answered him, only raindrops from the eaves, ticking and ticking・・・・・・
The lonely mood was depressed in Piaoranzi's heart, turning into a long breath, like a long snake winding in his heart, circling and entwining・・・・・・
How to solve the worries, only Du Kang is here, although there is no Du Kang, but there is Lu Xian drunk. Piao Ranzi picked up the water scoop, scooped up Yueyang wine, and drank a few sips, wow, it was long and fragrant, refreshing people's hearts and spleens, and all the internal organs felt smooth.
The light rain outside the window did not stop, and Piaoranzi came to the window to enjoy the rain scene, feeling that this layer of windows was very awkward, preventing him from looking out, "you"
Although Piao Ranzi can't fly, the strength to break these windows is still more than enough. After the "bang, bang" sound, the window fell to the ground. V
