After the tea gradually faded, Li Qingshan put down a few copper coins, got up and said, "Let's go." ”

The owner of the tea stall got up from the pony, looked at Li Qingshan's departing back, and said with a smile: "See you in the future." ”

Not far away, Li Qingshan, who was walking on his back, beckoned: "See you in the future." ”

Walking around a street corner, Li Qingshan found a shop selling roast chicken still open.

After staying in front of the shop for a while, Li Qingshan took away two roast chickens.

After walking hundreds of steps, he walked into a wine stall again, and after putting on two jars of Qianshan County aged old wine, he walked quickly towards the edge of Xicheng......

In a small alley on the edge of the west city, an old beggar in rags wears a "coat" woven from thatch.

In front of him, the broken bowl was already filled with snow.

It was obvious that he hadn't used a broken bowl to beg for a long time.

"Year after year, too fast."

"It's going to be the New Year again in a blink of an eye...... It's hard to pass the New Year, it's hard to celebrate the New Year! ”

The old beggar took out the frozen hard dough from his bosom, grabbed a small handful of snow and put it in his mouth.

The icy snow made people shiver.

After a long time, the biting snow water turned into warm water in the old beggar's mouth.

The old beggar, with his mouth slightly open in his mouth, broke off a small piece from the half of the bread, put it in his mouth, and continued to hold it.

After waiting for a long time, the old beggar's mouth began to chew slowly.

"I can be considered to have found you."

A gentle voice came from the mouth of the alley.

The familiar voice made the old beggar raise his head sharply and look straight at the mouth of the alley.

At the entrance of the alley, a scholar dressed in a navy blue robe and carrying two large wine jars walked quickly towards the old beggar with a smile.

"Mr. Li!" The old beggar put the bread aside, propped his hand on the wall, and stood up with difficulty.

Just when he wanted to catch up, he saw that Li Qingshan had already come to him!

Click.

Li Qingshan put the two jars of old wine on the ground and said with a smile: "I'm looking for you to drink." ”

Hearing this, the old beggar nodded vigorously, and just as he wanted to say something, he realized that his "home" did not even have a decent place to sit.

So, he directly took off the thatched coat behind his back, folded his hands, folded it to the size of a cushion, and then put it on the ground.

Seeing this, Li Qingshan grabbed his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be polite to me, I have never cared about this, and you don't know." ”

"The ground is full of snow, and you have to get wet when you sit." As he spoke, the old beggar wanted to put the thatched robe behind Li Qingshan.

Wow!

A warm breeze suddenly blew through the alley.

The breeze blew on the human body with little force, and it was warm, but it swept away all the snow near the two of them.

Looking at the snow that was going away with the wind, the old beggar smiled and said, "Mr. Li's ability is really amazing. ”

Li Qingshan reached out and took the folded thatched coat, unfolded it, and put it back on the old beggar.

"What's magical...... If you want to learn, I can teach you. ”

The old beggar wrapped himself in a thatched coat, smiled and waved his hand, "I'm old, I don't want to learn...... If I had met Mr. Li when I was young, I would have to rely on you as my teacher. ”

"Lao Ji is in the future, you are determined to be thousands of miles, how old are you." After sitting cross-legged on the spot, Li Qingshan touched the two jars of old wine with his hand, and said with a smile: "The old wine that has just been beaten has been heated up in the store, and it is still warm." ”

"Lao Ji is tired, so he wants to stay in peace." As he spoke, the old beggar sat down and reached out to touch the wine jar: "Well, it's really warm." ”

Li Qingshan smiled and took out two roast chickens wrapped in thick oiled paper from the book bag, handed them to the old beggar, and said with a smile: "Come, appetizers." ”

"Thanks to Mr. Li, I still remember that I am an old beggar, and today is a blessing, and it should be the New Year." The old beggar took the roast chicken and carefully unwrapped the oiled paper.

The hands, which were as rough as dead wood, were unusually clean.

"Well, this roast chicken was bought on the street behind the tea stall, right?" The old beggar sniffed and laughed.

Li Qingshan was a little surprised: "Yes, your nose is really smart." ”

"Hey, I've been smelling here for most of my life, can I still smell it?" The old beggar smiled bitterly.

Hearing this, Li Qingshan smiled, did not speak, and concentrated on unpacking the thickly wrapped oiled paper.

With the sound of the oil paper being removed, the two finally let the roast chicken reveal its true face without destroying the oil paper at all.

The roast chicken, which is red and bright on the outside and is grilled just right, makes people appetize when they look at it.

Li Qingshan and the old beggar glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "Touch one?" ”

"Then touch one!"

When the two of them spoke, they pulled out the wine stopper, picked up the wine jar and touched it.

Accompanied by a dull "ding" sound.

The two of them tilted their necks together and drank a large sip of hot old wine.

The spicy and warm old wine entered his throat, which directly made the old beggar feel warm up and down.

Li Qingshan put down the wine jar and said with a smile: "Drink it slowly, if you don't eat the roast chicken, it will be cold." ”

The old beggar put down the jar, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and laughed, "Happy! The big winter is to drink hot old wine! ”

Cada !

Li Qingshan took down a chicken leg and put it in his mouth, his teeth closed, and he was pinching the bone and pulling it out.

The tender and juicy leg meat is all retreating.

Shaking the chicken bones without a little shredded meat in his hand, Li Qingshan carefully tasted the fragrant roast chicken.

"Gourmet!" After the old beggar gave a thumbs up, he ate chicken thighs like Li Qingshan.

The two of them had a sip of wine and a mouthful of meat.

After the roast chicken was left with only chicken bones, more than half of the two jars of warm old wine were missing.

The drunken old beggar burped, took off his thatched coat and set it aside, and then staggered to the mouth of the alley and washed his hands with the snow on the ground.

Seeing this, Li Qingshan also followed, and wiped the oil stains on his hands with cold snow.

"Let's go back and drink." The old beggar pointed behind him, and he looked very happy with his tongue wide open.

Li Qingshan nodded: "Go." ”

When the two sat down again, the two of them, who had no snacks and food, told each other about the interesting things they had encountered during the year.

After the two chatted for two hours, the sky darkened, and the two large jars of old wine were almost bottomed out.

The old beggar hugged the wine jar and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, you are a good person...... It will definitely live a long life. ”

"What good guys...... I'm not even a human right now, believe it or not? Li Qingshan waved his hand nonchalantly.

The old beggar nodded: "Believe, but even if Mr. Li is not human...... It must also be human...... Human nature is human being! ”
