Chapter Twenty-Three: Wine is Character, Meet a Drunken Maniac
Rongxiang Inn is located in the north of Broken Water City, close to two large markets. Therefore, the sanitary conditions are very different from those of the Xiyue Inn located next to the main road in the center of the capital.
And the whole appearance of Rongxiang Inn is also a lot stingy compared with Xiyue Inn Inn. The people who come and go are no longer all people in luxurious clothes, but people who are dressed in all kinds of clothes.
There are passing merchants in sackcloth and linen trousers, or low-grade silk, young scholars who have been yellowed and dirty, and locals in ordinary linen clothes also come here to find a spacious space to drink and chat with friends.
Wang Lin walked into the Rongxiang Inn, the inn is also divided into two halls, but the back hall is provided for the inn's internal personnel and kitchen, so only the front hall lobby and the three floors upstairs are open to guests.
There are three floors in the building, according to high to low, divided into three levels of heaven, earth and people, people of different identity levels will sit in their own numbers, do not disturb each other, although the whole inn is noisy, but the order is quite orderly. Three levels and three prices, no need to haggle.
"Brother Wang, here, here!" A heroic voice came from the northwest of the hall, it was Xie An.
At this moment, Xie An was drinking with another short man. Hearing Xie An's shout, the short man also turned his head to look at Wang Lin.
Although this man is short, he is extremely strong, with the strength of his arms to prop up the clothes on his body, his skin is dark, his eyebrows are thick, and he is pouring a large bowl of wine into his mouth at the moment.
Wang Lin walked towards Xie An with two bottles of cheap sorghum wine, and said with a smile on his face: "I don't know if Brother Xie still has friends, but I don't buy enough wine." ”
Xie An laughed: "It's okay, it's okay, although this inn is not as good as the Xiyue Inn everywhere, but the wine here is enough." Come, come, let me introduce you. As he spoke, he pointed to the short man beside him and said to Wang Lin: "This is Brother Wei Ran, now the husband of the guard of the North Gate of Broken Water City, the future guard of the North City Gate, just on the way to this Rongxiang Inn, I happened to see a thief snatching an aunt's basket, I and Brother Wei caught the thief together, after a brief conversation, I felt very fateful, so I came here to drink a little wine." Wei Ran didn't get up, just smiled at Wang Lin and nodded.
Xie An pointed at Wang Lin again and said: "This is Brother Wang Lin, I entered the Broken Water City with him at the West City Gate in the morning, and we didn't have any glorious deeds, but when we saw the giant snake outside the East City Gate, we were so frightened that we ran desperately to the city together, so we got acquainted." Hahaha, but my brother Wang is very blessed, and he was holding a pretty girl in his arms at that time. ”
Wang Lin scratched his head when he heard Xie An's introduction, smiled and clenched his fists and nodded at Wei Ran, "Under Wang Lin, Brother Wei Ran will be lucky!", and then did it on the chair of their table and put the wine on the table.
Wei Ran thought that Wang Lin was a powerful person, but it turned out that he was just a timid teenager, so he lost interest in talking, looked at the cheap sorghum wine on the table, and muttered in his heart about the so-called wine and character, choosing such a poor wine, this person is also estimated to be a low-level rotten person, and the idea of connecting friends has also disappeared. So he ignored Wang Lin intentionally or unintentionally, and continued to drink with Xie An happily.
Wei Ran took a big sip of wine, and then said to Xie An: "Let me tell you, it was three years ago, when I was still a small soldier guarding the door, one night when I was guarding the door, suddenly there was a black shadow in front of me, I hurriedly picked up the guy's business, and rushed over, thinking that this must be some kind of thief who committed theft at night." But guess what, I chased him all the way down and saw him run into a house, and in the blink of an eye he stole out an eight or nine-year-old child, who had already fainted. I thought at the time that this person might be the murderer of children for many years, so I stabbed the murderer with a shot, saying that it was too late and that was fast, I directly pierced the chest of the man in black, and then fought with the murderer for dozens of rounds, and finally he couldn't resist me, so he insidiously fired a hidden weapon at me, I was injured by his hidden weapon, and finally the hatred let him slip away, otherwise there would have been no child killer demon now. ”
Wei Ran chattered, Xie An listened with wide eyes, didn't he also echo a few words like "my mother!", "really amazing!", "good!", and so on, praising Wei Ran as high.
Wei Ran squinted at Wang Lin, and found that Wang Lin was just listening carefully, but his expression didn't have much reaction, and he was dissatisfied in his heart, he only felt that this Wang Lin was really a country bun, and he didn't understand anything, so it was really a waste of his saliva. The sense of resentment in the heart is stronger.
"Brother Wang, why don't you drink! This is not the wine you brought, why don't you taste it?" Wei Ran rudely pushed the two bottles of cheap sorghum wine on the table that he had never touched from beginning to end in front of Wang Lin.
Wang Lin smiled and said: "I'm not very good at drinking, and when I look ugly, I hope Brother Xie and Brother Wei don't laugh at it." ”
"What don't you know how to drink, wine is something that we men will drink when we are born, didn't your father teach you this?" Wei Ran then stood up with the strength of the wine, leaned down and pressed against Wang Lin, picked up a bottle of sorghum wine, and slammed it in front of Wang Lin, "Drink!"
Xie An saw that the situation was not right, snatched the sorghum wine, tore the red silk, and was about to pour the wine into his bowl, saying as he poured: "I haven't tasted the wine that Brother Wang bought, come, let me try the wine first!"
Xie An raised the wine bowl, raised his head and was about to drink it all, but his head was raised, but the wine bowl was snatched away from Wei Ran's hand, and at the same time, Wei Ran's rough voice came, "Don't drink this broken wine, Brother Xie, come on!"
With a snap, this bowl of wine was slapped heavily in front of Wang Lin by Wei Ran, and most of the wine in the bowl was also turned upside down, "You are embarrassed to bring such broken sorghum wine, what's the matter, do you want to poison the master, I will watch you drink it up today!"
Wang Lin frowned, looked at Wei Ran, and his eyes became indifferent.
Xie An saw that Wei Ran was going to get drunk, so he also stood up, held down Wei Ran, patted him on the back and said, "Brother Wei, you are drunk, or I will send you home first." ”
Wei Ran pushed Xie An away, Xie An was pushed far away, and shouted: "Go back to the fart house, you, you, call Wang Lin, come and drink it for me, don't act like a girl!"
Wang Lin really couldn't bear it, and slightly sideways to dodge the whistling wine tank, but what he didn't expect was that Wei Ran saw Wang Lin dodging over, and his heart was even more resentful, so Wei Ran followed closely and punched Wang Lin's nose.
The incident happened suddenly, Wang Lin didn't expect Wei Ran to make a move, seeing that he couldn't dodge, he had no choice but to raise his right fist to Wei Ran's fist and beckon. The two fists made a crisp sound, Wang Lin and the chair under him slid backwards for more than a meter before stopping, and Wei Ran also took a step back, each secretly frightened by the opponent's hand.
Wang Lin stood up from the chair at this time, feeling the slightly sour right hand, Wang Lin looked at Wei Ran cautiously, looked at Xie An's face on the side, suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "I don't know how I provoked Brother Wei, I suddenly shot to hurt someone." ”
Wei Ran, who was carried away by alcohol, ignored his words, and when he saw that the blow could not be achieved, he was even more angry, and he swept his leg towards Wang Lin, and kicked out towards Wang Lin's waist, and his strong leg force swept over, rustling.
Wang Lin frowned, feeling that this person was so rude and nonsense, but this leg with a whistling wind made Wang Lin have no time to think, the muscles of his whole body suddenly exerted force, and he jumped backwards at the last moment, and he could avoid Wei Ran's leg, and with a bang, the wooden table made by Wang Lin, Xie An and Wei Ran before was kicked and smashed by Wei Ran, which caused the surrounding drinkers who were originally watching the play to scream, and ran towards the door one after another, and even the innkeeper forgot to chase the guests who ran away for the wine money, so frightened that he squatted behind the counter, covered his head, and kept shouting: "Master Wei, Grandpa Wei, you raise your noble hand! Oh, the small shop can't stand your smashing!"
