The snow fell all day and stopped at night.

Although it was still cold and windy outside, and most of the ordinary people's homes hid in the house to keep warm at this time, the mansion of the public loser was full of heat.

The snow on the ground has already been cleaned by the people, even the ventilation gate is tightly covered by the screen, the fire in the stove is burning, some old people who are afraid of the cold wear cotton jackets against the stove, feel the warmth, and show a peaceful smile on their faces.

And the younger uncles Yinxue couldn't hold it anymore, and they began to go back and forth at the wine table, and even pulled in many juniors, all of whom were drunk, with red faces and swaying bodies.

Because of the fact that Yinxue was sealed by the state guard, this celebratory banquet has lasted for an hour and a half, and the troupe has been singing and dancing on stage for a long time, but it seems that they never plan to stop, and even the guests are still pouring in outside the door, preparing temporary gifts, box after box, box after box to the courtyard.

"Boss Tong of Tongfu Inn!Gift!Five hundred gold!" The subordinate of the gift list was still standing upright, his face full of red light.

Although it is said that there is such a thing as a hot stove in ancient times, compared with the lack of a true meaning compared to sending charcoal in the snow, it also represents the current status of the public loser, which is always happy.

Qin Ke, Cai Yan and the others shrank on a remote table, and they were also slightly drunk, and a cloud of crimson rippled from their faces.

"You lose, you drink, you don't drink you don't ......have a son" Gao Yishui is not a qi and blood cultivator, so although he drank heavily, he didn't drink enough, his words had begun to knot, and the hazy mist in his eyes made him unable to see the scene in front of him clearly, but he didn't know why he became angry and shouted loudly, "Say it's okay to drink, you still want to play tricks!"

Then he lunged forward, crashed into a date tree in the yard, rolled his eyes, and fell on the spot.

Qin Ke and the others were startled at first, and then laughed at each other, so they simply didn't help, and let Gao Yishui snore in the grass alone, and if someone looked carefully, they would find that there was still a person under Gao Yishui's body, fat and red, it was Zhao Qian, a student of Taixue Hall who went out with the army, and the one with the nickname Xiaoqian.

Not long after, Gao Yishui turned over and muttered: "This pillow is soft." Then he snored again.

There were more than 50 Taixuetang students who went out with the army this time, and after the war, eight of them had been wrapped in horse leather and served the country.

Among the people who survived, some of them went to Xingzhou to assist Zhu Ran, and some of them were brought to Jinzhou by Gao Changgong, and they were not allowed to leave the barracks until the past few days.

"Ah Ke, this cup! Lao Tzu thought you died in the Tang Kingdom. The ...... of the Sword and the Sword To be honest, I was about to pee in the battle formation that day, and I always felt that the next knife would cut my head, hey, Lao Tzu didn't die, but there were about seventy or eighty Tang people who died in my hands. Alas, it's a pity, Ban Xiaozhuo next door, do you remember......? Woo woo, Lao Tzu saw with his own eyes that Xiao Zhuo was stabbed by several brutes of the Tang Kingdom, and was trampled by a team of cavalry, but Lao Tzu couldn't even bring his corpse back......"

The building was already drunk, laughing and crying for a while, sitting stubbornly on the stool, drinking bowl after bowl, each time it was all drunk, which made Qin Ke feel frightened, for fear that he would drink himself to death.

In fact, Qin Ke also understands that after experiencing such a huge life and death, everyone's chest is like a knife, and the slightest movement is extremely painful, and those friends who read together, fight, watch plays, and drink together are still smiling at them in their memories, but in a blink of an eye, they dispersed like bubbles.

After the grief of the death of relatives and friends, the most difficult thing to face is fear, as if something can never be recovered, from now on, there will be one less person next to you, and the road in front of you will be more lonely.

Wine is a healing medicine, not only to kill the toxins attached to the wound, but also to make people temporarily look back and gaze at everything they have lost.

It's like a dream.

However, Qin Ke also found that there was a person at the wine table who seemed a little silent, neither kept drinking with others, nor did he cry and laugh, but just sat quietly on the side, slowly drinking the hot wine, and then looked at the babbling troupe on the stage.

"Zhang Mingqi, what's wrong?" Qin Ke asked, sitting next to him.

Zhang Mingqi was a little surprised, it seemed that it was an accident why someone suddenly sat next to him, or an accident why someone would suddenly call out to him who was sitting in the corner, but when he saw Qin Ke's face clearly, he showed a very simple and clean smile, and said, "It's you." ”

Qin Ke nodded: "They are all drinking, why are you just sitting in this corner drinking alone, or can't you get along with them like before?"

"Get along?" Zhang Mingqi looked at him and shook his head, "On the contrary, it is beyond my expectations, you may not know that when I left Jingwu, I got along well with them." It's just that you should know that people like me are always separated from them, although many times even I forget about it. ”

"Why do you say that?" Qin Ke didn't agree very much, "Everyone is a very good person......

Zhang Mingqi laughed self-deprecatingly, bowing his head and drinking like an old man: "You know this kind of wine, I had to drink it every day back then, and even on my birthday, I chartered the entire restaurant and feasted almost everyone I liked." At that time, I ate the best restaurant in Jianye City, and the pastries had to come from the three major dim sum workshops to be eye-catching, and any of my robes were made of fine silk that weavers couldn't weave a few feet in a year......

He waved his hand, signaling Qin Ke not to speak first, and then said: "I don't say this, I don't want to show anything in front of you, in fact, I don't have anything to show now, now, just like this, I have to spend a year to drink such a jar of wine, and this table of wine and food on the table, even if I sell it, I can't afford it." I'm a poor ghost now, and I have nothing but a cheap life. ”

"But that's what I've been through, after all. Zhang Mingqi said heavily: "Do you know, I used to live like that, I don't have to care when the grains are ripe, I think about which restaurant has delicious wine and food; I don't have to know how to repair the tiles, but I can live in the luxurious mansion in Jianye City; I don't know if the little jasper next door is washing clothes by the river or watering the ground today, but I know which Qinglou girl in Jianye City is good-looking." ”

"In that case, how can I really integrate into them and let them treat them equally?" Zhang Mingqi shook his head bitterly, "You may not know, many times I can't even understand what they say, and the ones I have experienced, if I really pull them out, I am afraid that I will only suffer a bunch of blank eyes...... From the beginning, we were people of two worlds, but I was forcibly kicked out by my world......"

Qin Ke was silent for a while.

Yes, he and Zhang Mingqi are people of two worlds, although the two worlds have never been severed, there are still huge gaps in them, and it is even difficult for people to cross them in a lifetime.

When he was still farming in Daoxiang Village, would he have thought that people in the outside world could give gifts with hundreds of gold at every turn, just to get closer to each other.

Not everyone in this world is on the same plane, and people on different planes will naturally have different ways of understanding the world.

Just like Gong Yinxue has things that she can see, Gao Changgong will also have his unique views on the Mo family's court, and if it is Zhuge Wanling who is in the deep palace, the things in his mind must also have secrets that cannot be hidden by outsiders.

And what about himself?

What should he see, and what should he think?

Qin Ke thought distractedly.
