Chapter 2 Rebirth
Twisting and turning, Lu Fan came to a store.
This is a dilapidated small shop, no name, bleak customers, on weekdays by selling some small wine and side dishes for a living, the boss is a bad old man, Lu Fan has always called him Lao Wu, this old guy has always been drunk. Today is no exception, Lu Fan has already walked to his door, and he is still sleeping with the wine jar in his arms.
Dilapidated tables and chairs, with a smell of decay. There was dust everywhere, and a few rats could be seen frolicking in the corner. But Lu Fan likes this place, because it is quiet, there is no ridicule, no ridicule.
"Old Wu, serve me some wine. ”
Lu Fan knocked on the counter, and Lao Wu opened his hazy sleepy eyes.
Raising his eyes to look at Lu Fan, Lao Wu first stretched out his hand, and Lu Fan took out the copper plate and threw it on the counter.
Lao Wu put away the copper plate first, and then actually handed the wine jar in his arms to Lu Fan, and said in a slightly muddy voice: "There is still half left, you are cheaper." If you can't finish it, bring it back to me. ”
Lao Wu smiled and took out a bowl with a missing mouth and put it on the counter.
Lu Fan took away the wine jar and bowl, found a random table and sat down, poured a bowl of wine, and looked up with a big sip.
The strong wine entered his stomach from his throat, and soon Lu Fan felt his body heat up, as if there was a flame burning in his body.
"Good wine. ”
Lu Fan exclaimed. The second reason he likes this shop is because the wine here is strong, unlike anywhere else.
Lao Wu smiled and said, "That's it, I don't look at whose wine it is." Lu Fan, have you been hit again?"
Lu Fan smiled bitterly and said, "I won't be hit one day." ”
Lao Wu said: "Don't say that. Don't you think it's a miracle that you've survived so far? I remember the first time you walked into my shop, you were as thin as a little monkey. Almost all are dying, you look at you now, a qiē normal. ”
Lu Fan laughed, Lao Wu was right. When he was a child, the doctor diagnosed him that he would never live to be twelve, but now that he has lived to seventeen, and is still well, it is indeed a miracle.
Lu Fan turned his head to Lao Wu and said, "That might be your wine." ”
A strange light flashed in Lao Wu's eyes, and he also smiled: "Of course, my wine is of course the best." ”
Lu Fan sighed and said, "My woman abandoned me because I was a waste." ”
Lao Wu narrowed his eyes and said, "Then she will definitely regret it in the future." ”
Lu Fan chuckled and said, "Old Wu, thank you for comforting me." ”
Lao Wu smiled and said, "Believe me, this is not comfort. ”
Lu Fan poured himself another bowl of wine and said, "It's a pity, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink your wine again in the future." ”
The smile on Lao Wu's face retracted, and he walked over from behind the counter and said, "What's the matter?"
Lu Fan nodded and said, "Yes, I'm leaving." I haven't passed the test of the martial arts academy this year. I'm seventeen years old, and I have one last chance to test next year at most, but my family will never let me be ashamed to the end. I think they'll release me after this year's festival, and I don't know where I'll be put, but I'll never come back. ”
Lao Wu staggered and sat down opposite Lu Fan, and said, "So miserable?"
Lu Fan nodded and said, "Yes, it's so miserable." Old Wu, when I leave, I will definitely buy you a few more jars of wine and prepare to drink on the road. ”
Lao Wu said: "No problem. I'll make sure you have a few more altars. But I think you don't have to go, you might as well try again next year, maybe you can pass the test?"
Lu Fan laughed, but his smile was slightly sad.
"I don't expect this anymore. ”
Lao Wu said: "Then you won't practice martial arts in the future?"
Lu Fan's eyes suddenly sharpened at this time, and said: "I will definitely practice martial arts, and martial arts is one of my qiē." Even if I can't condense my strength in this life, I am proud to be a martial arts practitioner.
Lao Wu's expression changed slightly, as if he didn't expect Lu Fan to say such a proud word at this time.
Old Wu groaned softly.
"Last night's cold wind and waning moon, today the miserable rain and snow. When will the bitter sea Lang Tao rest, and get drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows. Thinking about ten years of martial arts, tears flowed into the cup. If there is a sky in the heart, people go first, who knows, who stays. ”
Lu Fan listened to Lao Wu's poems, with sadness in his eyes, raised the wine jar and began to drink.
Lao Wu chanted the last two sentences softly, stood up, and walked back to the counter.
Slowly take out a small jar of wine from under the counter with your hand.
"Come, Lu Fan, drink my altar. I have been saving this jar of wine for 20 years, and today we will get drunk and rest. ”
Lao Wu put the small jar of wine on the table.
When opened, the aroma fills the house. Lu Fan looked at Lao Wu with drunken eyes and poured him a bowl of wine, and said with a smile: "Why is this wine green." ”
Lao Wu's face was calm, he was not drunk at all, and said softly: "You drank too much." ”
Lu Fan smiled and said, "Yes, I drank too much." Let me taste the difference in your bowl of wine. ”
Looking up at a bowl of wine into his throat, Lu Fan only felt that it started from his throat, as if a fire had gone straight into his chest and abdomen. Lu Fan's entire face turned red.
Lao Wu poured another bowl for Lu Fan and said, "Go ahead and drink, this wine is strong enough." ”
Lu Fan felt that he was almost speechless, and after a while, he held back two words and said, "Enough." ”
After speaking, Lu Fan drank another bowl, and this time he felt even more violent.
Lu Fan seemed to be able to hear his bones making a clicking sound, his qi and blood were churning, and his eyes were already a little blurry.
Standing up, Lu Fan said: "Old Wu, it seems that I'm really a little drunk, no, I'm going back first." ”
Lu Fan staggered out, Lao Wu looked at Lu Fan's back and said, "Remember to come back and drink it in a few days, I'll keep this jar of wine for you." ”
Lu Fan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely come." ”
Lao Wu smiled and said softly, "Of course you will come." ”
Lao Wu waved his hand lightly, only to see the wine jar float up gently like a ghost manipulation, and then fell back into the counter.
Lao Wu's fingers tapped the table regularly, shaking his head and singing softly.
"Eight thousand miles of mountains and rivers sword and wine, ninety thousand miles of sky dream and awakening. Three cups can lead to the avenue, and one bucket knows the heaven and the earth. Yin and yang cup in the fun, life wine in love. I don't know who went in the Ming Dynasty, who laughed at me, who I laughed at......"
On the way home, the north wind was howling, and the flying snow hit Lu Fan's face like a knife, but he didn't realize it.
His body swayed and walked back to Lu's house, and he could already see the gate from a distance.
But at this time, the center of gravity under his feet was unstable, and Lu Fan fell to the ground.
Lying on the ground, Lu Fan felt that he had no strength in his body, only the heat circulating in his body.
Consciousness gradually blurred, Lu Fan lay on the ground and did not get up, and the heavy snow slowly covered his body.
A ray of light lit up from his body and disappeared in the blink of an eye. His body let out a low moan, and the pores of his body opened, visible to the naked eye, and a stream of air swirled around him.
If there is a martial arts master who happens to be here, he will definitely exclaim, because Lu Fan's current situation is too similar to the rebirth of martial arts legends.
