The shopkeeper suddenly remembered when he was a young man who practiced martial arts.

He didn't have a master.

There is only one partner.

is like a partner like Jin Ye and Li Junchang.

The two practiced martial arts together, and then got drunk together.

The amount of alcohol in the store is not good.

His buddy didn't drink well either.

However, the store always drinks a lot, and it is rare to get drunk.

He comforted his partner, but was often drunk.

Once, however, the shopkeeper got drunk and saw his companion sitting outside on the grass as if he had lost his soul.

Leaning against a large poplar tree in the back.

There was no flask in his hand, but he kept groping for a long sword at his waist.

The waning moon overhead is not pure tonight, but has a faint blue.

"Have you ever heard of a beautiful woman on the moon?"

When the partner saw the store coming, he suddenly spoke.

"Who hasn't heard of it?!

The shopkeeper thought it was strange because his partner didn't drink very much.

When you don't drink, you're either practicing martial arts and swords, or you're sleeping and eating.

I had never seen him so in such an interest, sitting on the grass and looking at the moon.

Even if it is a person who does not drink, once he holds up the wine glass, he is putting it down.

That's what happened tonight.

Although I didn't drink it violently, I drank it one bite at a time.

The shopkeeper said.

I took another sip of wine nonchalantly.

The more you drink, the more you drink.

The shopkeeper said.

After saying that, he laughed to himself.

When a person drinks alcohol, his brain becomes extremely flexible.

"Do you believe that?"

The partner then asked.

"Believe it! Why don't you believe it? I also heard that if you are infatuated enough and willing to sacrifice in the Mid-Autumn Festival with your sincerity and blood, she will come and be your wife!"

The shopkeeper had never felt that his partner could be described as cute.

But tonight I think he's so cute!

Even if the word cute is really not suitable to describe a man, he must be used!

No matter how honest a person is, he can tell a carload of witticisms and make up extremely absurd but not unreasonable stories.

Serious people can be cute.

Not only do people who drink become cute, but people who drink people find it interesting and cute when they look at everything around them.

The next moment, he suddenly snatched the flask from the shopkeeper and drank it all in one breath without breathing.

This is extremely strong shochu.

Even an old drunkard would not dare to drink like this.

Because the store doesn't think any other words are appropriate other than cute......

After listening to the story arranged by the store, the partner knew that he was mocking himself.

But he nodded and accepted it silently.

Instead, they clapped their hands and applauded!

The best thing that can make a drunk person happy is to see another person drunk.

People want to have a companion.

If it is placed in normal times, the store will definitely block it.

Because drinking like this will not only spicy your throat, but also burn your stomach.

But today, the store didn't do anything.

The partner finished his drink and stuffed the empty flask back into the shop.

Then he spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm.

Then the moonlight, click to see that there is a lot of blood hanging in the thick phlegm.

Whether it's cultivating martial arts or going out, you must have a companion.

There will be playmates when you are young, friends when you are adults, and bosses when you are old.

No matter what age you are or what you are doing, this is unshakable.

"Fuck ......"

When the shopkeeper saw this, he threw the flask on the roof.

Listening to the sound of the flask and the tiles shattering together, he cursed heavily.

"Let's go get the wine again!"

The shopkeeper said.

But his companion ignored him, got up, and walked straight back into the house, and soon the lights were turned off, and he seemed to be asleep.

The soft ones can sit down at will.

But you must not lie down.

Because when the strength of the wine has not subsided from the brain, once you lie down, it will inevitably be a whirlwind.

But when he turned his head, he saw the big poplar tree.

Now that his partner is gone, he has made room so he can sit down by the book.

Drunken people have no bones.

I remember that the first time he drank was with this partner of his.

At that time, he saw that his partner's drinking action was not beautiful, but it was extremely skillful.

And the drink is extremely brave, every sip is full, and the cheeks are bulging.

This is something that the store has never tried.

But his partner had passed on the lesson.

The shopkeeper didn't want to touch the mold, so he just sat with his back against the big poplar tree and didn't lie down.

But the body is light and fluttering.

It's not a pleasant feeling, but it's amazing.

So every once in a while, the shopkeeper always wants to get drunk, just to relive this contradictory and wonderful feeling.

It was summer when we first met, and it's summer now.

If you don't think about the specific day, it's a whole year.

The shopkeeper felt a lot of pain in the back of his head, and it was very heavy.

Sure enough, he threw up.

He stood at the door and vomited all over the place.

After cleaning up, the shopkeeper saw his partner lying on the ground, snoring, but still holding a flask that could not be saved.

When he finally came to his senses, it was already the middle of the night.

As soon as I entered the house, I smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

When you are drunk, you will only be hungry when you smell alcohol, but when you smell alcohol when you are half-awake like the shopkeeper, you will only be nauseous and nauseous.

The smell of alcohol in the room was so strong that he couldn't sleep anyway.

In desperation, I had to pick up the bedding and pillows, move the stools in the front hall, put them under the big poplar tree, and put them together to make a simple bed for one night.

After lying down, the shopkeeper saw through the gap in the branches and leaves that the waning moon was shifting.

Their wine was put under the bed.

The shopkeeper lit the lamp and looked under the bed, and found that in just over an hour, this partner had drunk all the wine!

The shopkeeper shook his head and smiled bitterly, but there was still a faint sense of nausea in his throat.

Then, on the side of his head, he saw that the lights in the room had forgotten to turn them off.

Although he really didn't want to go into that room again tonight, it was not a matter to keep the lights on overnight, so he got up and went to turn off the lights after a struggle.

Now his consciousness was clearer.

I can't help but think of the story he made up earlier to deceive his partner.

At this point, I woke up and felt that the story was really a little boring......

Maybe even today's children can't be coaxed.

This "bed" is really a bit too cramped......

The shopkeeper lay on it and didn't dare to make any moves.

Even turning over has to be careful, for fear that the "bed" under him will not be able to withstand the toss and fall apart.

He looked at his companion lying on the ground and felt a little weird.

But what was weird, he couldn't say for a while.

With a sigh of exhalation, he blew it out and waited, and then went out again, and returned to lie down on his "little bed" under the big poplar tree.

It's not going to be different overnight.

In this small bed made of chairs, facing the genius is the most comfortable position, but it is also the position that makes it difficult for the store to fall asleep.

He tried to get over his body, but the bench was squeezing through the thin mattress and his shoulder hurting......

But the store has always been lying on the right side to fall asleep.

It's habit.

It takes time to form a habit, whereas to change a habit, it takes even longer.

This partner of mine has never been so lax.

Although he was often drunk, whenever he was close to him, there would always be a burst of vigilance.

But just now, only the sword that fell to the ground next to him, and the sword that was half broken out of the scabbard still emitted cold light, and his entire body did not have a few cups at all.

I had no choice but to lie flat and look at the waning moon in a daze.

I never thought that such a tossing and turning made him completely sober.

At this moment, I thought about why I felt that my partner's sleeping position was a little strange, but I reacted instantly.

Partner and friend don't mean the same thing.

People who have the same goal and sit on the same thing can be called partners.

A friend can be a partner, but a partner doesn't have to be a friend.

This is something the store has never seen since they got along with him.

The store used to have a lot of friends.

But now there is only one partner.

This point is clearly distinguished by the store.

But in his heart, a partner is still a little worse than a friend......

Partners come together more for their own interests, no matter how many ups and downs they have gone through, how many roads they have passed, they all take what they need.

As a friend, you may sometimes act as a partner.

As a partner, you may also play the role of a friend at times.

But a friend is never the same as a partner.

But friends are simply helping, encouraging, understanding, and trusting.

Each can walk into each other's spirit, and everything can be for each other's sake.

Take the initiative and don't ask for anything in return.

It's like when you're thirsty, everyone will work together to dig a well.

Because of this, everyone can drink water quickly.

But if you are not thirsty, if you don't have the need to drink water, you won't be a well-digger.

But if you think that friends are just blindly appreciating, it is a big mistake......

At least the shopkeeper and his former friends had an untold quarrel, or even a fight.

Some friends will stay away because of quarrels.

But why doesn't the store have any friends now?

He never seemed to think about it.

However, some friendships can be sublimated into an unshirkable responsibility, as if even if you don't want to drink water, I will still dig a well for you, because as a friend, you know that sooner or later you will be thirsty.

A friend is the destination of a man's spirit, and that partner is a partner who strives for the goal.

Between friends, the friendship between gentlemen can be as light as water.

But partners have to see each other all the time.

Some friends, even if they quarrel, will have a tacit understanding.

Bending is far more important than partner.

The shopkeeper and this partner practiced martial arts together, just to have a sense of identity.

When he sobered up, his partner was drunk again.

In the end, all that was left for tonight was a lame myth.

The shopkeeper didn't know where his partner was from.

Otherwise, they will become strangers, and the two really can't be called partners.

Originally, tonight, the store was going to make his partner a friend.

But before he could say it, he was drunk first.

And when his partner calls him, it's always a "hey" word.

The shopkeeper didn't know who he learned his swordsmanship from, or if he had any family members or siblings.

It's not that the store doesn't want to ask, it's just that there is always a sense of indifference in the partner.

Even his name is extremely vague.

Fortunately, two people live in the same room, and they don't see what they look up for, but they can also omit the title.

When the store calls a partner, it is usually replaced by the word "hey".

Tall and thin stature.

Standing there is like a javelin.

At that time, the store was a little chubby, so I was always envious of my partner's good figure.

And the other party is not the slightest curiosity about anything in the store.

If the store asked first, it would seem that he was a little out of breath.

One of the partners who merged it.

On weekdays, it's okay, but if the wind blows, this ill-fitting clothes are on his body, just like the wine sign hanging on the flagpole in front of the wine shop, which is fierce and funny.

But beyond that, this partner is a very serious person.

Serious enough, the store thought he was lifeless...... But he didn't look like a young man who thought he was twenty lang.

But partners also have their own troubles......

That is, you will never be able to buy the right clothes when you go to a ready-to-wear store.

The smallest size worn on his body will become wide and draggy.

But it was precisely because of this that the shopkeeper felt that it was very strange for him to lie on the ground so presumptuously tonight.

Usually when he drank too much, he would always be the first to say:

"Hey, I've drunk too much!"

He never pays attention to any insects and birds around him.

I won't stop for any delicate flowers and beautiful girls.

The eye could only see the rice bowl, the wine jug, the bed, and the sword.

I don't know, I thought there were so many rats burrowing in this land.

These details, in the past, the store did not feel weird.

Now that I think about it, how can a person who says he is drunk really be drunk?

After saying hello, he ran to the open space at the back of the house, dug a small pit with his scabbard, and then spit out all the contents of his stomach with a mouthful of throat.

When you finish rinsing your mouth, buy this little pit again.

At dawn, when I looked back, I saw many small dirt pits and small dirt bags.

And tonight, why did he get drunk so suddenly......

The shopkeeper suddenly felt that he didn't know anything about this partner.

If a person does something that goes against his habits, something must be going wrong.

How can a person who clasps his throat and vomits meticulously really want to get drunk?

But if he wasn't drunk, why did he say he was drunk?

If he doesn't want to get drunk, why should he drink?

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, he drank too much tonight.

Don't say abruptly to your partner to make a friend.

But except for knowing that his partner loves to drink, is very cold, and is very serious, the rest is blank.

Maybe he has an extremely sad background, or maybe she has someone she loves deeply but can't.

These stores don't know.

But wouldn't it be too contradictory to let a partner who is as calm as the moon and as cold as snow suddenly have such an anti-presumptuous mouth?

The shopkeeper suddenly became more interested in his partner's past than ever before.

A carp straightened up and got up from the patchwork cot.

Otherwise, rejection is still a trifle.

If the partner really agrees, the store will feel very guilty.

Because the word "friend" is really unworthy of the two of them.

But it's empty.

Just like what he knew about his partner, there was nothing, nothing was there.

He had a few changes of clothes in his closet and a new pair of shoes he had bought the day before.

Immediately, the "small bed" also squeaked and slowly fell apart.

The shopkeeper resisted the pungent smell of alcohol and replied to the house again.

He opened his partner's cabinet and opened the drawers as well.

The act of opening a partner's drawer and opening a cabinet, albeit ethically.

However, at this time, the feelings of loss are far more than shame in the hearts of the store.

The next day, the shopkeeper woke up on his patchwork cot.

But here, there is nothing.

The shopkeeper remembered that his partner never seemed to have changed his clothes.

When the clothes on the body are dirty and can no longer be worn, and they still stink slightly, they will go to the market to buy a new set and change it into.

Looking at the scale, it is much larger than the rest of the bags.

It also proves that his partner was indeed more drunk than ever before, and he was completely drunk.

The day went into the evening, and the buddy did not return.

Partner is not in the house.

The flask that I drank last night has been cleaned up.

The shopkeeper hurriedly ran to the afternoon, and saw that there was indeed a new dirt bag in the open space.

He walked in the midst of a fire.

It was his pillow that was burning.

A smell of burnt meat came, followed by heart-rending pain.

The shopkeeper didn't know where he had gone, so naturally he was nowhere to be found.

After drinking wine and waiting for half an hour, when sleepiness hit, it was like lying in bed and falling asleep.

This sleep did not let him sleep to the fullest.

But his cheeks were hot from the burns.

The warm water of the river did not numb his pain.

But where can you find ice and snow in summer?

The shopkeeper screamed and got up, grabbed his sword, and ran out of the house.

He ran to the river in one fell swoop and buried his head deep in the water.

The river is warm in the summer.

"It turns out that ...... not dead"

The partner said coldly.

"You want me to die?"

All the store can do is keep its head in the water and stay motionless.

Suddenly, he was grabbed by the back of the neck and lifted up violently.

The shopkeeper opened his eyes blankly and saw that his partner was standing next to him.

There is no emotion in the eyes and expressions.

"Why do you want me to die?"

The shopkeeper asked.

The shopkeeper asked with difficulty.

Each word tugged at the muscles and skin of his face, and it was painful......

The partner nodded steadily.

What a ridiculous reason for that.

They weren't friends yet, but their partner didn't need a friend's reason to kill the shopkeeper.

"Because I feel like we're going to be friends, and I don't need friends. ”

Although it is a very painful thing for him to speak now, he still has to speak.

"Because I don't need friends. ”

Said the partner.

"Being friends with me is more painful than death. And when a person dies, he is either buried or cremated. I don't have time to bury you, so it's better to burn you to death, which is equivalent to cremation. ”

Said the partner.

It's still unusually calm.

Torch continued.

"So you're going to kill me? and burn me?"

The shopkeeper asked in a trembling voice.

Since you must die by yourself, then you can simply do the aftermath well.

"But I'm not dead now. ”

The shopkeeper said.

It was so calm that it calmed down the anger that was rolling in the store's heart.

When the shopkeeper thinks about it, this dish is indeed his partner's style.

Thunder and thunder are rampant, complete and thorough.

The shopkeeper said.

Eyes fixed on the sword in his hand.

"A sober person will not be burned to death. ”

"Of course you're not dead, you're still talking to me. ”

Said the partner.

"You can't burn me now. ”

"No...... You and I don't want to go up and down in martial arts cultivation and sword skills. I'm not sure I'll kill you with a sword. ”

The partner bowed his head and groaned for a long time before speaking.

Everything he said was utterly honest and true.

Said the partner.

"So you're going to draw your sword?"

The shopkeeper asked.

He knew he was scared.

"So did you set the fire because you didn't have the confidence to kill me with your sword, or did you think that burning me to death would end the rest of the matter by the way?"

The shopkeeper asked.

It's terrible to tell lies.

But to be honest to a certain extent, it is better to lie.

The store doesn't hear a word from his partner now, and his heart will tremble.

After saying this, the partner is leaving.

The shopkeeper raised his hand tremblingly, as if ready to stay.

But in the end, I watched my partner disappear into the night.

"I never wanted things that far away...... When it comes to fire prevention, I have already told you what I thought. As for whether you have confidence in the sword, it was you who asked me before I thought about it. ”

Said the partner.

The shopkeeper didn't know what to say, and he really didn't want to say a word.

The rush of drinking water made him unable to see what he looked like now.

But he knew that he must be ugly now.

Thinking of this, I wanted to laugh inexplicably.

When the shopkeeper returned to the house, he saw that the entire house had been burned down.

Not only were the beams broken into knots, but even the cabinets, drawers, and the clothes in the cabinets, and the new shoes that had not yet had time to be worn were burned to ashes.

The shopkeeper returned to the river in despair, and sat by the riverbank until dawn.

But no matter who it was, the shopkeeper felt inferior to the one who almost burned himself to death.

Every time I think of him, I always think of the time when the two of them were eating roast meat and drinking wine under a lonely lamp.

When this thought was so strong that it was about to burst out, the store went back to where it used to be.

The shopkeeper cut one of his sleeves, covered his face, and left the riverbank.

After becoming a killer, he has no friends.

But there are many more partners.

The shopkeeper walked from the east end of the market to wash his hair, and turned back and forth five or six times but did not find it.

The last bit of contact with that partner was also lost, and the store felt very unwilling.

So a roast meat shop, which was often closed, reopened in this market.

The bazaar is still bustling.

There is a constant stream of people coming and going.

But the roast shop was never found again.

As for not opening the door, it is natural to have something else to do at the cost.

Homicide.

"We didn't become friends after all...... Not even a partner ......"

The taste is excellent, and every time it opens, it can attract a lot of pomp.

It's just that the store himself never turns back.

I've always been facing away from the counter, concentrating on boiling a pot of soup that I don't know what it is.

Li Junchang said.

The 'close to heaven' in his hand is pressing against the throat of the store at the moment.

The long-handled iron spoon in the shopkeeper's hand also went to Li Junchang's hand at some point.

The shopkeeper muttered silently in his heart.

But before he could say this, the shopkeeper felt a chill in his throat.

"Your world, I see it!"

Although Li Junchang had enough strength to stop ...... Helpless, but the heart is more than enough......

"I can tell you everything I knew that night, but you'll have to wait a little longer. ”

The shopkeeper said.

"Some people's world is the future, and some people's world is the past. ”

The shopkeeper said calmly.

Then he stretched out his right hand and gently pinched Li Junchang's blade and removed it from his throat.

Li Junchang said.

"He's your friend!"

The shopkeeper looked at Jin Ye and said.

Li Junchang looked at the blade that had been removed, and nodded blankly.

He's still a little worse after all......

"I could wait, but my friend was in a hurry. ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards his roast shop.

Li Junchang nodded at Jin Ye, then smiled lightly, and then followed behind the shopkeeper.

Jin Ye touched the beard on his chin, and it was not until the figures of these two people walked into the roast shop that he raised his arm and shouted:

However, the voice of this sentence is very small, as if it is said to himself.

"You're still my rich, but you can go first. I'll go to you after I've told him everything about it. ”

The shopkeeper said.

"Let's go!"

Wen Qiwen knows that this time on the road, I am afraid that there will be no chance to stop in the middle.

Fortunately, the two of them also ate a lot of dry food and drank a lot of water.

This will make your belly bulge and swell enough to last until you reach the mine.
