Chapter 36: The Wine in the Deep Alley and the Ghost Outside the Window

"Runaway, what good food can you have in this small shop?"

Drunk Chunfeng looked at the clichΓ© decoration around the store, sneered, and teased.

"Guest officer, you can't say that, the old saying still says that although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs? Besides, when you come to this Guanshan Langcheng at this time, whether you have the life to leave alive is still a matter of two words!"

"It's better to take a bite at the moment. ”

Listening to his jokes, the people who ran the hall were not happy, and threw the recipe on the table, and you still like to eat it.

"I've been to Guanshan Inn not a hundred times, but eighty times, and it's the first time I've seen a shopkeeper like you. ”

The drunken spring breeze was not angry, but spoke with great interest.

"Since you are a distinguished guest of Guanshan Inn, what are you doing in my small shop?"

The tone of the shopkeeper was a little cold, or a little unpleasant.

"Because your little shop is really small, so small that I have lived in Guanshan for four years and have never been to it once. ”

"The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. ”

Said the runner.

"The aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys. ”

Drunken Chunfeng retorted.

The shopkeeper was about to scold as soon as his neck was stalked, but Li Xiu took out ten taels of silver from his sleeve and put it on the table.

The world is big, the silver is the largest, the little second brother immediately put on a smiling face when he saw it, and then ignored the drunken spring breeze and turned to Li Xiu with a smile: "What does this son want to eat?"

"Who came up with the name of your shop?"

Li Xiu asked.

"It's Xiucai, he has read books for more than 20 years, and he is the most knowledgeable in our store, so the name of this inn naturally has to listen to him. ”

Li Xiu nodded, this name is indeed good.

"Three or four signature dishes are all you need, and two jugs of wine, two jugs of the best wine. ”

"Wait, officer. ”

By this time, the sky had completely darkened, and it was pitch black through the window, and there was no light.

Only the inn was lit with more than ten white waxes, and the light that was not red illuminated the room.

There were not many guests in the room, there were only a few tables, and no one spoke, only the sound of the sour show pulling the abacus resounded in this small space.

Drunken Chunfeng's eyes gradually narrowed, he raised the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then spit it out.

"This tea is not fresh, it looks like it was left overnight. ”

He said.

Li Xiu didn't react, and he was surprisingly quiet.

"What's going on?"

Drunken Spring Breeze asked.

"There is a good show tonight, the Qin family and the Jing family have to do one. ”

Li Xiu said lightly.

Drunken Chunfeng frowned, smelling the unusual smell of this.

The Qin family and the Jing family have been facing each other in this city for many years, and both families have several wandering monks, and no one can help anyone, they have been fighting each other for so many years, and they will have to do a life and death tonight?

"Qin Zaiyang and Jing Ruyun have been able to maintain the two families for many years under the pressure of your father, they must not be stupid people, since they are not stupid, how could they make such a stupid decision?"

Drunken Spring Breeze asked.

The two forces are equal, and if one must be divided into life and death, then only two will die.

Huangquan is a very beautiful place, otherwise there would not be many men and women clamoring to go together.

But it was also a very desolate place, otherwise there wouldn't be a lot of people praying for eternal life and wouldn't dare look down.

"Listen to Xue Lou's interference?"

After a while, as if he suddenly thought of something, Drunken Chunfeng looked at Li Xiu, who had a calm face, and asked intently.

"I just gave a hands-on reason. ”

Li Xiu replied.

The drunken spring breeze stared at him, waiting for the next step.

At this time, the person who ran the hall brought up two pots of wine, Li Xiu poured the wine into the cup, and said lightly: "Seven days ago, the son of the head of the sect who worshiped Yin Mountain passed by Langcheng and had a meal with the most talented sister-in-law of the Jing family, and then died. ”

"You sent someone to kill you?"

Drunken Spring Breeze asked.

Li Xiu nodded.

"Fourteen years ago, the entire Guanshan threw a punch at the backbone of the Northland Border Army, this is a sin, and it must be returned. ”

He looked at the drunken spring breeze and said very seriously.

"Then what's the matter with Baiyin Mountain?"

Drunken Spring Breeze asked again.

"He's on the wrong side, it's his business. ”

"Is neutrality also wrong?"

Li Xiu looked at him and said slowly: "This is the Tang Dynasty, as a Tang person, when the soldiers of the country are throwing their heads and spilling their blood to defend the border passes, you know that someone will attack the backs of those soldiers, and if you don't stop it, it is a mistake." ”

"There has never been a neutral saying in this world, Tang was born proud, and there are only two choices in this life, his own people and his enemies. ”

Li Xiu drank a glass of wine, which tasted good, and the tip of his tongue was a little hot when he swallowed it, but the root of his tongue was extremely cool.

He looked at the wine jug, the whole body was pitch black, like a jar without any pattern embellishment, this wine list was not as good as Taibailou's braised knife, but it was unique, with mellow fragrance between the lips and teeth, and more aftertaste.

"Back then, the Qin Jing family borrowed Yin Mountain, worshiped the whole sect of Yin Mountain and avoided it, he thought he could hide, but what could he hide?"

Li Xiu looked out the window, and the drunken spring breeze did not speak again.

The wine and dishes have been completed, the four signature dishes with full color and aroma, the fragrance smells intoxicating very much, there are many mundane things in the world, just talking about this appetite, where can you quit it?

He raised his hand and stretched out a finger to point to the darkness outside the window, and then said: "Spring breeze, you see that there are hundreds of ghosts in this world walking at night, and all living beings are mixed in it, and they are more resentful than ghosts." ”

Drunk Chunfeng looked at Li Xiu, his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be full of complexity, but he didn't say anything after all.

Langcheng does not light up at night, in the final analysis, the reason is that he is afraid of Baiyin Mountain, especially in recent days, there have been rumors that the Qin family seems to be intent on joining forces with Baiyin Mountain to destroy the Jing family.

It's a win-win thing for mutual benefit.

There are strong people in the outside world who keep returning to Guanshan, especially the Jing family, which is a tough battle, survive the sea and the sky, and everything will not be over.

The two of them didn't speak again, the signature dish on the table didn't move, and the two of them lowered their heads, listening to the footsteps coming from the window, thinking about their own affairs.

These footsteps are supposed to be people worshipping Yin Mountain.

Baiyin Mountain is a sect of cultivation, the head of the sect is a wandering monk, the whole sect believes in ghosts and gods, sitting on the open ground on the night of the full moon, holding rituals and doing things about worship.

The disciples of the disciples of Baiyin Mountain walk at night, wear black robes, wear white faces, hold spirit flags, and jump forward.

This sounds more like a cult, but in fact it has not done anything evil that hurts nature and reason.

Otherwise, we would not have survived to this day.

"The dish is cold. ”

The two of them sat here for a long time, and at the end of the second watch, Li Xiu suddenly spoke.

"I'm not hungry. ”

The drunken spring breeze hugged his arms, and drank the pot of unsightly wine without a glass.

"It's almost time for the show to begin. ”

The Xiucai on the counter drooped his head listlessly, leaning on the pillar and falling asleep.

The smell of braised pork trotters came from the back kitchen, and a woman in an apron wiped the floor with a mop.

The outside world should have been pitch black, but at this moment, a bright light suddenly appeared, tearing open the night and the lantern at the door, and cutting through the window paper.

This is the Spring and Autumn Sword of the Jing family.

The show really began.

......
