Zhang Xiaoyu sat quietly by the stream, was silent for a long time, and said softly: "No wonder my name is Zhang Xiaoyu, not Li Xiaoyu." ”

Cao Wei Yingying couldn't stop smiling, and while drinking wine, he said, "You can also change your name to Li Xiaoyu." ”

Zhang Xiaoyu stood up, laughed softly, and said: "Forget it, of course I, Zhang Xiaoyu, am Zhang Xiaoyu, whether I am spurned by the world or admired by thousands of people in the future, I am just Zhang Xiaoyu." ”

"Yes, people like you, of course, leave their names." Grass said with a smile.

Zhang Xiaoyu shook his head slowly and said, "Actually, it has nothing to do with those. ”

Cao Wei Hotaru squinted at the young man who was a little melancholy, and said, "What's the reason for that?" ”

Zhang Xiaoyu looked back at the south and said nothing.

Then he turned and walked towards the town, walked for a while, and looked back at the grass as a firefly.

"My predecessors think that people like us are the ones who hold the fire or the ones who hide the fire?"

The grass is facing the clear stream, drinking wine while watching the twilight go away like gold.

"How do I know?"

Grass said with a smile.

"You should ask the world and the world such questions."

Zhang Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Okay." ”

So he took his sword and left.

Cao Weiying was still standing by the stream, holding the wine gourd and drinking wine constantly.

Until the mountains fell silent, there was only a little bit of gold left in the twilight of the river.

This young man in green clothes, who has lived for many years, slept for many years, walked many worlds, and dreamed a lot, looked at this Qingxi with great sighs, as if the old man who died back then stood beside him again, talking to him about many things in the world.

"Is your master okay?"

- "It's fine. ”

"Then he should be soon."

"The world is really beautiful, and so is life."

"There are too many things in the world, and you may not be able to see it without one, and you still need the help of your generation to see more."

......

Cao Weihotaru chuckled softly and poured the remaining wine from the gourd into it.

Talking to himself there.

"It's a good job to lack a junior brother, and the seniors don't have to worry too much. This is some of the water that I filled in the world when I woke up this time, and I called it hometown water, and if I could drink it, I would be very happy. Also, more than a thousand years have passed in the world, and when I woke up this time, I saw a lot of things that amazed me, the world is no longer as weak as when my predecessors were there, they are in a hurry, they are very prosperous, and they are climbing upward, but I don't know if they have the ability to lift fire, so I don't care about those things in the world. ”

The wine in the gourd had been poured clean, and there was still a drop hanging in the mouth of the gourd, so the grass brought it to her lips and sucked it into her stomach.

So, perhaps drunk, the green-clad boy staggered along the stream in the twilight.

"Senior, you are right, as long as those faint lights appear in front of them, they will naturally chase after them."

"The affairs of the world are handed over to the world, and the affairs of the thousand years are handed over to the thousand autumns."

The grass shook the reed in her hand and smiled to herself.

"So a bad old man like us just needs to guard this world."

Grass turned her head to look at Tokai and chuckled softly.

"I understood this a thousand years before you, senior."

......

When Zhang Xiaoyu returned to the town, it was already night.

Passing through the forest, the small town that spreads like red flowers all over the cliff appears in front of you.

But that's fire.

Zhang Xiaoyu inexplicably remembered what Cao Weiying said to him.

That's fire, dear.

It was the fiery red from the furnace, from the red of the lamps under the eaves, from the scorching red of the people walking in the streets.

"In the past, the East China Sea was not so lively."

Zhang Xiaoyu looked back, but found that Cao Weiying walked over behind him.

"Why did the seniors come back again?"

Cao Weiying smiled and said, "Can't I come back?" ”

Zhang Xiaoyu said: "Of course not, it's just that I thought that my predecessors would be there to talk to the Lord for a long night." ”

Cao Weiying said softly: "If the Lord is really still here, I can talk to him for a thousand years, but he has been dead for so many years, where will there be so much to say, just chat a few words as self-comfort." Not to mention....."

Cao Weiyi lifted the wine gourd in his hand and shook it in his hand.

"You've poured all my wine, I'm sure I'm going to come back and get some wine!"

Zhang Xiaoyu was silent for a while and said, "I only poured half of it." ”

"You pour half, I pour half, then it's gone?"

"It can't all be my pot!"

"I should pour half of it, and you pour half of it just to join in the fun."

“......”

The two of them headed for the liquor store hidden in the corner.

As soon as I opened the door curtain, I saw that Xiao Er, who had a blue nose and swollen face, was still sitting by the window blowing the wind.

"No alcohol today!"

Xiao Ertou said without looking back.

Zhang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "I can see it." ”

When Xiao Er heard this voice, he turned around and saw that it was Zhang Xiaoyu, he was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "You won't feel very angry after drinking, come back and beat me." ”

Zhang Xiaoyu didn't speak, the grass on the side was dangling in it with a wine gourd, looked at Xiao Er and said, "Are you often beaten?" Why? ”

Xiao Er said very sincerely: "Because my wine is very bad." ”

Cao Weiying laughed softly, walked to the window and sat down, looked at Xiao Er and said, "Yes, it's bitter and astringent, and sometimes it's very sour." ”

Xiao Er was stunned, looked at the young man in green clothes in front of him, and then looked at Zhang Xiaoyu on the side.

"Have you ever drunk? Or did he tell you? ”

Cao Weiying said with a smile: "I have drunk it." ”

"But I don't remember you, people like you, it's not ordinary at first glance, if you've ever drunk it, then you must have hit me, then I'll definitely remember. So you must be lying and trying to provoke my anger and make me sell you the wine. ”

Xiao Er reasoned and smiled very proudly.

Cao Weiying smiled slightly and said, "Yes, so can you get me some wine?" ”

Xiao Er said lazily: "I've beaten enough today, so I won't sell it." ”

"It's okay, I don't have any money, it's not a sale."

"......" Xiao Er opened his eyes in disbelief, looked at the grass for fireflies and said, "You.... You.... You ....."

"Why are you so shameless?"

"Others beat them up, but they still give them money, and you don't give them money, so you want to drink and beat people?"

Xiao Er said, probably very angry, he couldn't care about the wounds on his body, and almost jumped up.

Cao Weiyi sighed and said, "It turns out that you are not selling wine, but fighting." ”

When Xiao Er heard this, he was probably also a little sad, and he also sighed and said, "If you don't sell it, what can you do?" Anyway, I have to be beaten, and the more they beat me, the more expensive the wine I will sell. ”

Cao Wei Hotaru looked at him quietly for a long time and said, "What if I can make you not be beaten again in the future?" ”

Xiao Er just laughed and said, "It's not a secret, I've had this dream many times, but it's all fake." I even dreamed that I went back many years ago, and saw the sword sharpening cliff sword cultivation described by my ancestors, and then I gave him a pot of wine, and he was so embarrassed that he vomited and said, 'What a broken wine, it's really unpalatable'. But what's the use? Dreaming is just dreaming after all, and after dreaming for so many years, it is nothing, only a stomach full of complaints. ”

Grass nodded seriously and said, "I see." ”

Xiao Er looked at the grass as a firefly, a little inexplicable.

"What are you talking about?"

Cao Weiyi smiled and said, "It's nothing, I want to taste the wine you brewed." ”

Xiao Er looked at the grass for a long time and said, "You really don't beat people?" ”

Cao Weiying looked at Zhang Xiaoyu on the side: "Did you beat him?" ”

Zhang Xiaoyu leaned against the pillar with a sword on his back, shook his head, and said, "No." ”

Cao Weiying looked at Xiao Er very sincerely and said, "Look, he didn't beat you, and I won't either." ”

Xiao Er was still a little hesitant and said, "Then why don't you go and make a gourd wine yourself?" ”

Cao thought for Hotaru and said, "I probably don't count my own fights." ”

Xiao Er sighed, limped to his feet, took the wine gourd from Cao Weiying's hand, took a funnel, and added wine to it spoonful, while reading in pieces.

"Okay, don't hit me after you finish drinking. No, you still have to swear, you say, I'm xxx, after drinking, I will never hit anyone. ”

"I'm a firefly, and after drinking, I will never hit anyone."

Xiao Er was relieved to give the wine gourd of grass as a firefly.

It's just that after playing for a long time, even Zhang Xiaoyu on the side yawned, and the wine gourd with grass for fireflies was still not full.

Xiao Er looked back at Cao Weiying strangely and said, "What kind of hulu are you?" ”

Cao Wei Hotaru tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "This is the magic weapon of the immortal family that I picked up on the side of the road." ”

"Immortal magic weapon?" Xiao Er became interested, changed a jar of wine and continued to scoop the grass for the fireflies. "What is the Immortal Family?"

Even Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the grass as a firefly curiously.

Cao Weiying laughed softly and said, "It's a person from the mountains, a person who squats in the mountain, and then doesn't ask about the world from now on." ”

"If they don't ask about the world, then what do they ask?"

"They don't ask anything, they just look up at the sky."

"And then?"

"And then? No then. It's just a mountain man. ”

“......”

Xiao Er felt that this young man in green clothes must have drunk in another house when he came, so he was talking nonsense here.

It wasn't until all the wine jars in the wine shop were put into the gourd that Xiao Er saw that the gourd was full.

Just right, it's at the mouth of the gourd.

One drop less is not complete, and one more drop is overflowing.

Xiao Er didn't care that Cao Weiying finished beating the wine in his shop, but just exclaimed and said, "This is really the most perfect wine I have ever made in my life." ”

Cao Weiying just sat by the window and laughed, and Xiao Er carefully took the gourd wine.

"Be careful, don't ruin the gourd wine I made so carefully."

Xiao Er admonished.

Although Cao Weiying nodded with a smile, she took it very casually, then held the wine gourd in her hand, turned her head to look out the window, thought about it and said, "What is the dream you just said?" ”

Xiao Er thought for a while and said, "That Senior Brother of Sword Cliff named Qinglian, after drinking my wine, spit it out and said, 'What kind of broken wine, it's really unpleasant!' ’”

The grass was silent for a moment and said, "Can I stop swearing?" ”

Xiao Er tilted his head to look at Cao Weiying, and said, "Are you planning to perform a trick for me because you have no money to make me happy?" ”

Cao Wei Hotaru rarely laughed and said, "That's okay, you see me perform a trick for you." ”

As he spoke, the young man in green clothes turned over and sat down on the window.

Outside the window is the long street of the town, which is lit up at night and full of people.

Cao Wei sat there with a smile on his face, shaking his legs while raising the wine gourd to his lips, and then tilted his head and drank most of the gourd.

The wine gurgled into my stomach.

So perhaps those memories that have been forgotten for thousands of years come to life in the night.

Maybe not, it's just the wet sea breeze a thousand years later.

So the young man in green clothes looked at the lively town with a smile and spat out the window.

"What a broken wine, it's bad!"

Xiao Er walked to the window, didn't care about the pain, clapped his hands and smiled, and said, "Yes, what a fucking broken wine, it's so fucking unpleasant!" ”

The young man in green clothes turned his head to look at Xiao Er, who was poking his head out and his face was swollen, he smiled very happily, but he was beaten and swollen, but tears were flowing in his eyes.

"Fuck, fuck, what a fuck broken fucking wine. I'll fuck you! ”

Xiao Er picked up an empty wine jar from his side.

Then he jumped on the windowsill and squeezed the grass down with a single ass.

Grass for Fireflies: "......."

Xiao Er smiled happily, raised the wine jar in his hand and smashed it against the long street outside the window.

The remnants of the wine flowed out of the broken jar and flowed brightly on the stone slabs of the night.

"What a fucking shit!"

Xiao Er smashed the wine jar and laughed happily at the window.

Cao Weiying was squeezed into the street outside the window by Xiao Er, raised his head to look at this young man who had been beaten for generations, and said with a soft smile: "Yes, what a fucking broken wine - this is the most unpleasant wine in the world." ”

Xiao Er was smiling, but there were tears of grievance in his eyes.

Cao Weiying was also smiling, but there was guilt in his expression that had gone through a long time.

Cao Weiyi smiled for a long time, and then nodded at Zhang Xiaoyu, who was silent in the window.

"I'm leaving."

"Okay."

So Cao Wei carried the most unpleasant half-gourd wine in the world, and left here again, nowhere to be found.

Just like back then.

Zhang Xiaoyu also walked to the window, Xiao Er had already calmed down, sat on the window, and quietly looked at the direction where the young man in green clothes left.

"Did you guess anything?" Zhang Xiaoyu looked at him and asked softly.

Xiao Er smiled and said, "I can guess what, I'm just dreaming." ”

Zhang Xiaoyu shrugged.

He has drunk wine with grass as fireflies, and he has also touched wine gourds with grass as fireflies.

That wine gourd should have been used for many years, longer than any human being, the wind that has blown in the world.

Xiao Er's ancestors should be very familiar.

But Xiao Er didn't say anything.

It's just like you've gone crazy.

And then when I wake up, I probably won't talk a lot of things to people like before.

The second door of the little one was not closed, and he was directly dragged to the body of being beaten miserably, and went back to the backyard to sleep.

Zhang Xiaoyu sat quietly on the chair by the window with the sword on his back.

But he sighed softly.

"Grinding the sword cliff grinding the sword cliff, hanging on a line and deciding on a thought, where is it just a sword?"

......

Back then, because the senior brother lived in an era when the wind was bitter, he tasted a sip of bitter wine and thought it was delicious.

So in this small town on earth.

Someone has been trapped here for more than a thousand years.

......

When Xiao Er woke up on the second day, Zhang Xiaoyu was still sitting by the window.

It seems that I have forgotten those things from yesterday.

"Did I have a weird dream yesterday?"

Xiao Er looked at Zhang Xiaoyu and asked.

Zhang Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "How do I know about your dream?" ”

Xiao Er nodded thoughtfully.

So he looked at the deserted wine shop again and muttered, "Why didn't anyone come to buy wine today?" ”

Zhang Xiaoyu sat in front of the window blowing the cold breeze in the early morning and asked, "Is your business good on weekdays?" ”

Xiao Er thought for a while and said, "I don't remember, maybe it's good, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten up so early." ”

With that, Xiao Er ran to the corner again and looked at the stacked wine jars.

It's a pity that it's empty, and there's nothing left.

So Xiao Er sat there and doubted life.

"Could it be that business was so good yesterday that all the wine was sold out? I'll have to make some more wine. How do you make wine? ”

The more Xiao Er thinks about it, the more he doubts life.

Zhang Xiaoyu laughed softly on the side and said: "You remember wrong, where are you selling wine, you obviously open a noodle restaurant, I asked you to make a bowl of noodles for me yesterday, you were lazy, and said that you will order it again today." ”

Xiao Er thought about it, as if there was indeed such a thing, patted his head and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm confused after sleeping." So what's going on with these jars? ”

Zhang Xiaoyu untied the sword behind him, put it on the table, and looked out the window, the town was bustling, but no one should come to buy wine today.

Maybe not in the future.

So he said, "Do you see my sword?" ”

"See."

"I'm a sword cultivator, so I usually drink a lot of alcohol, and I drink that."

"I see."

Xiao Er suddenly realized.

"Shall I give it to you now? Do you want chopped green onions? ”

"Yes, more spicy." Zhang Xiaoyu said with a smile.

Xiao Er nodded while going into the backyard to work.

Not long after, a bowl of steaming noodles came, sprinkled with green onions and dried chili peppers, green and red, which looked extremely attractive.

Zhang Xiaoyu picked up the chopsticks and ate them.

Xiao Er was busy cleaning up those wine jars in the back.

"I lost all these wine jars for you?"

"Okay." Zhang Xiaoyu said vaguely.

So the sound of the house full of jars slamming, as well as the sound of Zhang Xiaoyu eating noodles, and the tinkling sound of those early rising iron through the winter morning fog outside the window.

It looked like a wonderful morning.

Zhang Xiaoyu thought so, but he probably didn't have any money.

So he pondered for a long time, looked at Xiao Er, who was busy in the backyard, and said, "Remember to help me go to the wine shop in the town to buy some wine, I have already paid the money before." ”

"Okay!"

Zhang Xiaoyu took a deep breath.

Zhang Xiaoyu, Zhang Xiaoyu, you are such a bastard!

Xiao Er finished his work, and went to the other side of the town to buy a jar of wine and came back.

Seems to have remembered something again.

"Am I still going to gossip?"

Xiao Er looked at Zhang Xiaoyu, who was drinking noodle soup, and asked.

"Hmm."

"So when are you going to go up the cliff?"

"When it snows."

Zhang Xiaoyu said very unconscionable.

Although it is true that it is necessary to give gossip time to pass on to the world.

But after all, you still have to cheat and cheat here.

Xiao Er nodded, grabbed a handful of melon seeds somewhere, and walked outside.
