Chapter 17: Sleeping in the Snow

The old man seemed very interested and said, "Very good, continue." ”

Dugujing asked: "The seniors are also interested in Qin Guiyu?"

The old man Xue pondered for a moment and said: "The cold wind breaks the willow and does not empty the sword, let's listen to the next few words." ”

Dugujing replied: "The cold wind breaks the willow and does not empty the arrow, the iron spear folds the fan with Fang Fei, the drunk infatuated pipa song, and the arrogant sword sleeps in the rain and snow." The predecessors were already alone in the world back then, so they were ranked last. ”

Old Man Xue said lightly: "Knowing that the old man is the last in line, he dares to mumble outside the wall." ”

Dugujing's face was embarrassed. The old man said: "I dare not say it alone, after all, there are still two sentences left in this poem." ”

Dugu Jingqi said: "There are still two sentences missing? I don't know which two sentences are missing?"

Old Man Xue waved his hand and said, "It's just a legend of the rivers and lakes, don't care." He also said: "Although Qin Guiyu is not among them, everyone in the world thinks that Qin Guiyu should be ranked between 'pipa music' and 'arrogance', and the old man doesn't think so." Saying that, he took a sip of wine, spit out a mouthful of wine and continued: "The old man thinks that although Qin Guiyu is not very old, his martial arts will never be much lower than the old man, and he will definitely be ranked after the 'Sword Rain', hehe, but Hua Qing doesn't seem to be happy." ”

"Sword Rain" Hua Qing, Dugujing remembered that at noon at the main table in the courtyard of the villa, he was the only one who had no door and no faction. Of course, if the old man in front of him also goes to celebrate his birthday, he must also be at the main table.

Old Man Xue asked, "What happened tonight was instructed by Dugu Ze?"

Dugujing shook his head and said, "Not really. Although Qin Guiyu has the intention to save my grandfather, but as a person, my father still can't believe it, plus I heard that Qin Guiyu stayed here, so the younger generation secretly came to check it without telling my father, but I saw that the water pavilion was actually cleaning and repairing, and I felt extremely strange. ”

Old Man Xue pondered, and Dugujing paused before continuing: "It's just that the strength of the juniors is low, and they were discovered by the seniors before they entered the Ethereal Building. ”

Old Man Snow said, "I see," waved his hand, and said, "Let's go." ”

Dugu Jing was stunned for a moment, this is to drive us away? He originally thought that since Old Man Xue was interested in Qin Guiyu, he would definitely want to investigate.

Old Man Xue explained: "I have no grievances with Qin Guiyu, if we can meet, we must have a competition, but now that Qin Guiyu has left, this matter will be stopped." You two little dolls can do whatever you want, and the old man will act as if he didn't see it, let's go. ”

Dugu Jing sighed in his heart, his original intention was to hope that Old Man Xue could help investigate the backyard water pavilion, but he didn't expect that the other party would immediately pick up people after satisfying his curiosity. But fortunately, the other party didn't seem to be interested in the Xuanwu Twin Dagger, and he never asked since they met.

Get up and get ready to leave.

"Don't go, little doll, I want to listen to stories too. ”

The window shattered with a "bang", and a gray figure flashed into the room and snatched the wine bowl in the hand of the old man snow, the old man reacted very quickly and immediately retracted, but the gray-clothed figure grabbed the wine jar on the table with his other hand, and stepped back to the window in the air.

The gray figure was extremely fast, Dugujing's gaze could barely keep up, and at this moment he stopped to stare, only to see a person in his forties and fifties dressed in gray clothes and gray hair, leaning against the window, one leg drooping.

At this moment, this man was pouring a jar of wine he had just grabbed into his mouth, his mouth was wide open, and although he poured it quickly, not a drop of wine was sprinkled outside, and his throat could still let out a low roar, like a wild dog that was very protective of food. This jar of wine had to be poured into the bowl for a while, but it only took a few breaths in the man's hand to drink it clean.

This was the first time in Du Xi'er's life that she saw the reincarnation of an alcoholic, and she was extremely shocked.

Dugu Jing whispered in Du Xi'er's ear: "This is a drunken ghost, and the 'drunkenness' in the poem is him." ”

"Hiccupβ€”" Cheng Shi burped a long wine and praised, "Good wine." After speaking, he looked at the wine bowl in the hand of the old man Xue.

The old man immediately drank the wine in one gulp and scolded: "It's gone, it's gone, get out quickly." ”

Cheng Shi clasped his hands and shouted: "I don't believe it, take it out quickly, don't be a stingy ghost." ”

A voice came from next door: "Hey, old drunk, don't you let people sleep in the middle of the night?"

Another person said: "Of course the drunkard wants to drink, and the old monster Xue still drinks in the middle of the night." ”

It turned out that the sound of broken windows had attracted many people. This made Dugu Jing extremely headache, which one of the people who lived in the Miao Building now was not a master, if the two of them were discovered, they would not be able to leave.

Another person's voice came, this voice was extremely arrogant: "The surname Cheng hurry up and give Lao Tzu a drink elsewhere, don't disturb Lao Tzu's sleep, there will be his grandmother's task tomorrow." ”

Another person responded, "Do you have a mission or does his grandmother have a mission?"

I only heard a "bang", and the voice was extremely arrogant, and the man broke out of the window, and the voice appeared in the inner courtyard: "Whoever speaks, come out for your grandfather, and see that I don't pick your skin." ”

There was no sound around, and it was clear that the man did not dare to make a sound.

Dugujing whispered in Du Xi'er's ear again: "This person's name is Zhang Kuan, he is extremely arrogant, his nickname is 'Zhang Qiang', which is the 'Zhang Madness' in the poem, and after a long time, everyone calls him Zhang Crazy and no longer calls him his real name." ”

Du Xi'er recalled it according to the introduction, "drunk and infatuated with pipa music, arrogant sword sleeping in the rain and snow", this "drunk", "arrogant" and "sleeping in the snow" actually appeared here. However, this Zhang Kuan obviously only dared to scold, but he turned a blind eye to the old man Xue.

Cheng Shi shouted at Zhang Kuan: "I'll go, I'll go, I can't hide if I can't beat me." After smashing it, he looked at the old man Xue with a lingering mouth, and turned to leave.

Seeing that there was no excitement to see, everyone around closed the windows to avoid Zhang Kuan's sight.

Just as Cheng Shi was about to jump out of the window, Du Xi'er spoke: "Seniors are slow. ”

Cheng Shi immediately turned around, with a puzzled look on his face: "Little doll, do you want to invite me to drink?"

Du Xi'er shook his head and said, "The juniors don't have wine, but the juniors know that there is good wine in the Ethereal Building." ”

Originally, Cheng Shi, who heard Du Xi'er say that there was no wine and looked lonely, was immediately excited when he heard the word "good wine", rushed over and grabbed Du Xi'er's arm, Du Xi'er couldn't hide, and was grabbed by him, but fortunately, the other party didn't have the strength in his hand and just held it ordinarily.

Cheng Shi asked, "Where is it?" ”

Unexpectedly, Du Xi'er shook her head again and said, "I don't know where it is." ”

Cheng Shi's face changed: "You doll, are you making fun of the old drunkard?"

Du Xi'er bit her lip in pain, held back the pain and said, "That's a good wine that Le Zhengshang has collected for many years, how do I know where it's hidden." ”

Dugu Jing immediately stepped forward and grabbed Cheng Shi's hand with both hands and said: "Senior, think about it, the shopkeeper Le is the boss of the ethereal building, if you say that there is no private collection, who can believe it." ”

Although Cheng Shi said that he was skeptical, his hand gradually loosened, and he said: "This kind of thing, how can others know if Le Zhengshang doesn't take it out himself." ”

Du Xi'er said: "That wine is extremely strong, and the entrance is spicy......" Before he finished speaking, he saw Cheng Shi's eyes glowing, and the old man knew that every time he heard the word "spirits", he had such an expression.

Du Xi'er continued: "...... But I couldn't quite notice it, and after swallowing it, a chill fell from my throat to my stomach, but the next moment I felt extremely hot in my abdomen, and a warm feeling surged up, straight to my throat......"

Cheng kept smacking his lips, as if he had already drunk it.

Du Xi'er's voice didn't stop: "...... At this moment, I can only notice the pungency in the mouth, but it is diluted by the rich aroma that rushes up, and then smell the fragrance of the wine at this moment, the two aromas are completely different, but they are mixed together......" Speaking of this, Du Xi'er paused before saying: "The aftertaste is endless." These words were naturally said by Qin Guiyu when he chatted with Le Zhengshang.

Cheng Shi felt that his saliva had already flowed to the ground.

Unlike Cheng Shi, Old Man Xue was much calmer and asked, "How did the little doll know so clearly, as if she had tasted it herself." ”

Dugu Jing was extremely nervous and said, "The Lord of the Qin Valley said it at noon. ”

Cheng Shi was stunned and looked at Dugujing: "Qin Guiyu, did you see Qin Guiyu in Qianhe Villa at noon?"

Old Man Xue said slowly: "It was the old man who told him. Dugujing looked at the old man Xue gratefully.

Cheng Shi was puzzled: "Didn't you go to Qianhe Villa?"

The old man said angrily: "Can't the old man listen to what others say?"

Cheng Shi let out an "oh", and immediately said: "No, no, how did Le Zhengshang's wine Qin Guiyu drink?"

Dugujing said: "Didn't the seniors just come in and say they wanted to hear the story?"

At that moment, Dugujing said the matter again, but this time it was much simplified, and he also concealed his identity. However, this also leads to a lot of mistakes, which can't stand up to careful scrutiny, but fortunately, Cheng Shi is bent on confirming whether there is really good wine, and he doesn't care to distinguish whether the story is true or false.

After listening, Cheng Shen smiled and asked, "Did Qin Guiyu say where this wine is?"

Dugu Jing was about to answer but was interrupted by the old man Xue coughing lightly, Dugu Jing immediately shut up, and the old man Xue took over the conversation: "You don't ask the old man about this, what's the use of asking these two hearsay little dolls." ”

Cheng Shi seemed to forget that the old man Xue said that he had heard about it just now, but instead turned to Dugujing and said: "Go, go, you know that there are two dolls who know that the two of them can break into the misty building at night for the righteousness of the rivers and lakes to investigate the clues of Qin Guiyu, this is the future of the rookie martial arts in the rivers and lakes, can you?"

Old Man Snow was speechless.

Cheng Shi went to Dugujing and Du Xi'er: "Let's go, go to my room and say, when you find the wine, you will each take a sip." Without waiting for the two of them to agree, he dragged the two of them one by one to open the door and go to his room.

Before leaving, Dugujing looked back at the old man Xue worriedly, he didn't know the old man Xue before, but now when he saw it, he found that he was so easy to get along with, and he was not angry when he was provoked many times by Cheng Shi, whose martial arts fame was less than his own, but he was still worried that the matter between himself and Du Xi'er would be exposed, after all, the old man Xue knew a little.

But seeing that the old man Xue was calm, his lips moved slightly, and the voice was transmitted: "Don't worry, I am familiar with your grandfather, but because I was young and a little unhappy many years ago, I didn't go to celebrate his birthday today, but I didn't expect it...... I feel guilty......" The words were broken at this point.

Dugujing put his mind at ease.

Old Man Xue got up and closed the door, stood in the room for a long time, and finally said to himself: "The heir of Qin Guiyu and the heir of Dugu Ming, hehe, interesting." ”
