Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Leap of Enlightenment [I]

Jin Ye walked out of the town with Qing Xueqing and Wen Qiwen, but the journey was less than fifty miles before he stopped again.

"Take a break. ”

Jin Ye said.

Qing Xueqing was very puzzled, why did she just say that she was going straight to the mine, but she didn't go two times and stopped?

However, Jin Ye is his brother after all, so she can only suppress the doubts in her heart and obey the arrangement.

It was close to noon, just a few moments before dinner.

The second child of the restaurant, who was dozing off at this table, also stretched his body, glanced out of the door, and prepared to get up and get busy.

I didn't expect to see the mighty people of Jin Ye and others at a glance.

This restaurant is not big, and the location is not lively.

It's hard to come so many people in one sitting.

Xiao Er's eyes lit up, and the difficulty of staying up late last night to gamble was swept away, and he eagerly rushed to the door to prepare for it.

Fang straightened his body, but he bent down again.

"How many of the guest officers, please?"

Xiao Er asked.

Jin Ye was stunned when asked......

To be honest, he had no idea how many people there were.

He only knew that there was one less person now than when he first set off, Li Junchang.

"The biggest private room!"

Jin Ye said.

"I'm sorry...... Our shop is small, and there is no private room...... However, if you want to be secluded, you can use a screen to enclose the table. ”

Xiao Er said.

I have to say that this little er's brain is really lively.

If it were a different person, I wouldn't have thought of such an idea at all.

To put it bluntly, if there is no private room, you may lose this large table of high rollers.

Jin Ye looked around and found that there was no screen at all in this restaurant, and then he understood the mind of this little er.

smiled lightly, didn't say anything, found the innermost table, and took Qing Xueqing and Wen Qiwen to take a seat.

The rest of the people waited and sprinkled in twos and threes in the hall.

"Would you rather eat or drink?"

Xiao Er asked.

"They eat and I drink. ”

Jin Ye said.

didn't look at the menu, just asked Xiao Er to bring up all the good things in this store.

Xiao Er's mouth was extremely serious, but his body was motionless.

Jin Ye was silent, and quietly slipped out of his sleeve and threw a certain amount of silver.

Xiao Er took the silver ingot, put it away with lightning speed, and then rushed to the back hall.

"This little two...... Not only is the words amazing, but the mind is also layered!"

Jin Ye looked at his back and burrowed into the back hall and said.

"What does my brother mean?"

Qing Xueqing asked.

Although she and Wen Qiwen had eaten a lot of dry food before, they were not hungry at the moment.

But where is dry food as tasty as a meal?

The back hall was in a pot together, and the fragrance came out, which suddenly made the two of them swallow saliva unconsciously.

"There is no screen in the shop, but he said that if we want to be secluded, we can use a screen to fence it off. ”

Jin Ye said.

"But...... Isn't he lying?"

Qing Xueqing asked.

"It's a lie. But we're really going to have to take a break. In this way, both sides have face. Why not?"

Jin Ye said.

Besides, although he agreed, he did not move. Do you know why?"

Jin Ye asked.

Qing Xueqing shook her head and said she didn't know.

Wen Qiwen on the side opened his mouth.

"Presumably, there are a lot of wine and food in our store, and this little second brother doesn't know our details. Brother Fang handed over a silver ingot as a reward, and he would definitely understand that we were not the ones who came to eat his big family and didn't pay. That's why the change is so rapid. ”

Wen Qiwen said.

Jin Ye nodded.

This Wen Qiwen is similar to his sister when he is young, and his experience is also similar.

But he can see the essence and key of things at a glance, presumably because he is the son of the state and has been exposed to it in the state government.

As the saying goes, if you are familiar with 300 poems, you can sing them if you can't compose poems, and that's the truth.

Seeing it this way, the pattern of this Qingfu is indeed too small......

For so many years, although Jin Ye's father Qingran was secretly controlling the plan, it was inevitable that he would rest on his laurels.

and a huge Hongzhou, presumably, Qingfu is just a drop in the ocean.

"Smack!"

The little second-hand carried a tray with a dozen or so flasks on it.

At the moment, they are being placed on the table one by one.

Jin Ye came back to his senses at this time.

Somehow......

From this return to Qingfu to the present, a feeling in his heart that had been silent for a long time has actually become imminent.

The feeling of deep hatred for Qingfu before has become more and more indifferent.

On the contrary, they will worry about their future on their own.

Xiao Er finished putting the wine jug, bowed down, and went to another table.

"Everyone, drink and be tired, but don't drink too much!"

Jin Ye got up and said.

The rest of the people responded one after another.

Although there are few people in martial arts cultivation, there are few who are not greedy for cups.

But when this is out of the house, getting drunk is undoubtedly sending you to death.

This not only dragged down the entire group, but also killed himself first.

They are also measured in their hearts, but Jin Ye, as the leader, has to say one more word.

Qing Xueqing obediently took the wine glass, put it in front of Jin Ye, poured him full of wine, and then put the wine jug on Jin Ye's right hand.

It's just that as soon as the table was settled, Jin Ye moved the wine jug to the left.

"Hold the knife in your right hand!"

Jin Ye said.

Qing Xueqing couldn't help but admire Jin Ye's right hand when she saw that it had never left the hilt......

Between the lightning and flint, just one action of holding the cup will also make the right hand hold the handle of the knife slower for a while.

In such a moment, it may still be able to determine the life and death of a person or even a group of people.

"My brother is really cautious. ”

Qing Xueqing said.

"It's because of the rich experience!"

Wen Qiwen also said a sentence.

Jin Ye smiled and did not speak.

Instead, he stretched out his hand and pointed in front of Qing Xueqing and Wen Qiwen.

The two of them failed to understand what Jin Ye meant, and after bowing their heads, they looked at Jin Ye blankly.

Jin Ye was still silent, but the smile on his face was even better.

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the wine glass in front of him, and Qing Xueqing and Wen Qiwen woke up.

"Why, they are all people who can go out to drink over the wall, but now they are sitting comfortably, but they don't drink anymore? No matter how bad this restaurant is, it is much better than the broken alley in Hongzhou Mansion!"

Jin Ye said.

This shocked Qing Xueqing and Wen Qiwen......

On that day, they climbed over the wall and went out to drink, and no one should have known.

Although in the second half of the night, Qing Xueqing's mother, Xiao Zhong, woke her up from the bed and asked her to have a few drinks with her father and brother again, saying that she had drunk it before.

But how did Jin Ye know the specific details?

I can still tell that it is an alley.

The two were very embarrassed and each took a wine glass and put it in front of them, and Jin Ye poured a full wine glass for the two.

It's just that Qing Xueqing and Wen Qiwen have some completely different things in addition to being embarrassed.

Qing Xueqing was very shy, and she hadn't drunk yet, but her face was already flushed.

And Wen Qiwen seemed a little worried...... I don't know what I'm thinking.

Qing Xueqing was drunk that day.

But her memory is clear.

Including him and Wen Qiwen snuggling up to each other, watching the evening in the twilight, and later getting drunk in his arms......

If no one knew about this, the two of them would know it.

But now that I look at it, maybe I can see it clearly in my brother's eyes, how can a daughter's family not be shy?

What's more, Jin Ye is afraid that he also saw her rude drinking.

"You're a lot like your sister. ”

Jin Ye said.

It's the proprietress in the mines.

"My sister?"

Qing Xueqing couldn't react for a while.

"Your sister also loves to drink, and she drinks a lot of alcohol. If you don't want to get drunk, it's ten of me who fall together, and I am no match if she covers her mouth half open. ”

Jin Ye said.

"My sister, how can you drink like this?"

Qing Xueqing asked.

"Because my mother can drink it, I'm afraid it's a blood relationship......

Jin Ye said.

He and the proprietress mother, is the Da Zhong family.

Qing Xueqing had also heard of it, knowing that there was such an aunt in her family, but she had never met her, so she couldn't say anything at the moment, so she could only nod passively.

As Jin Ye spoke, his eyes glanced at Wen Qiwen from time to time.

At this moment, his expression gradually calmed down.

It can be seen that he is also very interested in these things in the Qingfu.

Jin Ye picked up the wine glass, and after touching Wen Qiwen and Qing Xueqing, he drank it all.

"What do you two think of this wine?"

Jin Ye asked.

He's drinking too fast......

The two of them had just put the wine glass close to their lips, but Jin Ye took a sip and asked something.

When Qing Xueqing and Wen Qiwen heard this, they hurriedly drank the wine in their cups.

Wen Qiwen choked and coughed lightly because he drank too fast.

It made him feel humiliated......

Silently picked up the flask and poured the wine, as a cover-up.

"What kind of person is my sister?"

Qing Xueqing asked.

But it made Jin Ye difficult......

Although introducing a person is not a complicated thing.

But the proprietress is really difficult to define with the word 'how'.

"When you were a child, Dad should have told you a story, right?"

Jin Ye pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked.

"Brother, which story are you talking about?"

Qing Xueqing asked.

"About a mansion on the top of a hill where a girl lives. And her mansion blocked the sunset of a teenager. ”

Jin Ye said.

Qing Xueqing snorted excitedly!

It's really her favorite story.

But this story, Qing Xueqing has only listened to it so far, and she never knows what the ending is.

It is said that in the depths of the Zhenbei Royal Domain, there is a large courtyard, and there is a tower in the courtyard that is much higher than the main seat of Qingfu.

The tower stands above the snowline at the top of the mountain, and every evening in every season, the setting sun shines horizontally on the side face of a girl inside.

And at the foot of the mountain, there is also a small courtyard where a teenager lives.

The boy's favorite thing to do was to quietly wait for the sunset.

But after the tower was built, he never saw the sunset again......

After a long struggle, he decided to go to the mansion on the top of the hill to take a look, and even if it was to no avail, he would beg the owner of the tower to let him see the sunset again.

Wangshan ran a dead horse, not to mention that the boy still walked.

Finally, he stood in front of the mansion.

In the cold air on the snow line, he smelled wisps of rhythmic, faint fragrance.

But it was different from any dish he had ever eaten, any kind of flower he had ever seen, and the fragrance was different.

Qing Xueqing's memory stays here.

"Brother, what happened after the boy asked about the scent? What is the scent? Did he see the girl? Who does the sunset belong to in the end?"

Qing Xueqing asked such a series of questions.

"It's better to wait until I see your sister and let him tell you. ”

Jin Ye said.

"Qingmei, why didn't I know that there was such a story that haunted you so much?"

Wen Qiwen asked.

"This story can be said to be the second most precious treasure in Qingfu besides the Shadow Slashing Knife!"

Jin Ye said jokingly.

"No one else knows?"

Wen Qiwen asked.

"When I was a child, my mother told me about it. She said it was told to her by my grandmother shortly after she walked through the door. ”

Jin Ye said.

"If a story can be passed down in Qingfu for so long, it must have its deep meaning!"

Wen Qiwen said in a deep voice.

"I didn't see the deep meaning...... In fact, the reason why I can't answer Xueqing's series of questions is because I don't know the end of this story. When I was a child, I always felt that this story was too boring, and I fell asleep listening to it. Boys, of course, like those rivers and lakes more. ”

Jin Ye said.

"But what does this story have to do with my sister?"

Qing Xueqing asked.

"I can't say either...... I just think that the girl in the story is very similar to her. I've had this feeling from the first time I heard the story of the knife. And after all these years, the feeling hasn't diminished in the slightest. ”

Jin Ye said.

It's a gut feeling.

Intuition always gives people a kind of blind guessing and unreliable imagery.

Gamblers like to use it the most, I'm afraid it's their own intuition.

Jin Ye is not a gambler, but he is willing to listen to and trust his instincts in this world.

In fact, intuition and objectivity are not a pair of conflicting enemies, but they complement each other very well.

What is done deliberately is deliberately reduced to rationality.

But just like the three of them are drinking at the moment, drinking is an instinct.

What you do rationally always has a purpose.

But what intuition does is probably just to make yourself happy.

If you have to decide which is more important, then I am afraid that intuition is the foundation of a person.

It doesn't need any education, it's just nature.

Wen Qiwen frowned slightly when he heard Jin Ye's remarks.

Not only did he not feel that it was the right thing to do by relying on his feelings, but he even tried to get rid of his feelings in every possible way.

But whether it is a sword in the world, or a sword into the rivers and lakes, between the ups and downs, the world has turned into a glass of wine.

After one drink, there are three more glasses.

After three cups, there are still several altars.

The vicissitudes of this world can never be broken with a sword, a knife can't be split, and a cup can't be filled.

How can you keep control of yourself all the time?

When he was a teenager, he was just freshly dressed and angry, and he looked at the situation.

But after this period of time, what kind of person you become depends on your intuition.

"You two are now in their prime, have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?"

Jin Ye asked.

"Do we still have a choice?"

Qing Xueqing asked with her eyes open.

It really made Jin Ye very emotional......

Yes, I don't know if I am lucky or unfortunate to be born in such an environment.

Others look glorious, but when they take a closer look, they are full of involuntarily.

Reading has become a talent, and he is drunk and romantic, and he spends willows.

If you embark on such a dragon and tiger roaring on the road of rivers and lakes like Jin Ye, you can only run through Changhong, like a bamboo.

Like the cedar, it stands tall in the cold winter and evergreen.

It can only be broken without bending the waist.

Up to now, Qing Xueqing and Wen Qiwen have been able to slightly appreciate the bitterness on this road.

The deserted city is always sad, although the blade in his hand is always tightened, but there may not be a Ling Ran who can match it.

"What do you say to them about this?"

A voice came from the doorway.

Jin Ye looked up and saw that it was Li Junchang walking with the light on his back.

"How do you know we're here?"

Jin Ye asked.

"You can tell you're here by smelling the wine. ”

Li Junchang said.

After sitting down, he took care of himself, grabbed a flask, and drank it with his head up.

Jin Ye looked at him with a relaxed expression, as if he had returned to the past, and he was immediately extremely happy.

"Now, four of them are drinking......"

Jin Ye said.

"I've only heard of people who think about how much they drink, but it's the first thing I've heard of how many people drink. Is there anything wrong with this, or are you worried that you won't be able to pay for the drink?"

Li Junchang said.

"I thought you'd need a long time. ”

Jin Ye did not answer Li Junchang's question, but changed his words and said.

"It doesn't take long. The shorter the people and events in the memory, the better. ”

Li Junchang said.

"Because if you repeat it for a long time, it's not a memory. I don't want to change the part of my memory, and I don't want to recreate any memory. ”

Li Junchang continued.

Jin Ye nodded and did not speak.

It's like sometimes I want to see someone, or I want to do something, not because I still like or miss that person, or because I want to do that thing.

It's because I'm still struggling with myself when I was with the other person, and my attitude when I did that thing.

Human beings are very contradictory creatures, and they are also the most selfish.

What I miss is always myself at that time.

What I sigh is always the change of the present.

In this process, there will always be someone who will recklessly give you distress, love, doting, and pampering, just in exchange for your maturity one day.

Looking at the scenery around him retreating beside him, the outline of a city could be faintly seen in the distance.

In Li Junchang's body, the former Li family was such a "person".

Relatively speaking, Qingfu is the same for Jin Ye.

Li Junchang's prosperity, although it is not painful to say, but Jin Ye knows that it has taken him fifteen years of time and hard work to say this.

No one else can understand the difficulty.

On this way, everyone was in a hurry.

For the sake of interests and togetherness, they can call each other brothers.

But once the war drums are remembered, I am afraid that there is only fighting in the world.

The pride in this, unruly, bitter and astringent, makes people happy, and finally can't get rid of a love word.

Jin Ye and Li Junchang also imagined that they were a prodigal son who held the blade tightly, walking in the alleys of Flower Street.

Red spring wine, love and hatred, you go and I stay, never be ashamed.

A guqin, a beauty, smiling and smiling, looking forward to the cross-current, the love of the four seas, suddenly see the dusk.

At this meal, when the dishes were not yet served, Jin Ye and Li Junchang were already drunk......

Of the dozen or so jugs of wine on the table, I had just drunk half of them.

Jin Ye and Li Junchang one fell forward, and the other leaned back.

But the two of them without exception did not let go of the handle of the knife in their right hand even if they were drunk and fell to the ground.
