At this moment, Mu Xun suddenly fell from the roof behind Xu Che and stood in front of Xu Che.

Xu Che raised his eyes to look at Mu Xun, stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and asked, "You saw it all?"

Mu Xun nodded and said with emotion: "It can be seen that you really love her very much." ”

Xu Che was silent for a long time and sighed: "So what? I can't give her the good life she wants after all." ”

Mu Xun slowly squatted down, pursed his lips, and said: "I have never had someone I like, I can't understand your feelings at the moment, but we are both sad people today, although the inducements are different, but the mood is the same bad after all." After a pause, he said, "I have a place to go now, would you like to go with me?"

Xu Che asked, "Where to go?"

Mu Xun thought leisurely: "How to solve worries, only Du Kang." ”

Xu Che frowned and hesitated, "Do you drink?" But I've never drunk alcohol. ”

Mu Xunqi said: "Haven't you ever drunk? Aren't you a buddy in a restaurant? How can you not drink alcohol?"

Xu Che said: "First, my father didn't allow it, and secondly, I didn't have spare money to buy wine, so I never tasted wine." ”

Mu Xun looked at Xu Che from head to toe several times like a monster, and sighed: "You are really an obedient filial son." Well, but in life, there must be some new attempts, you can go with me. ”

For Mu Xun's proposal now, if it were in the past, Xu Che would definitely be grateful for it, but he had just been hit today, and the depression in his heart was nowhere to be released, so he was arrogant and blurted out: "Okay, I'll go with you, but in addition to drinking, I also have to eat delicious food." ”

Mu Xun responded in a bold way: "This is easy to say, let's go." As he spoke, he stood up and walked in the direction of the main street.

Xu Che also stood up slowly, but he didn't immediately follow Mu Xun, but walked to the corner first, stood with his back to the wall, and then cautiously poked his head out to look at where Meng Yue was before, but when he saw it, he saw that the long alley was already empty, and where was Meng Yue's figure.

At this point, he slowly retracted his body, leaned against the wall and took a deep breath, and then strode in the direction of Mu Xun's travel, striding after the meteor.

Mu Xun is a treasure of the restaurants in this neighborhood, after all, for a gluttonous customer like him, if he doesn't have a good ability to find food, he is really called gluttonous.

He took Xu Che through the streets and alleys, and after a while, he arrived at the door of the "Bao Ji" restaurant.

When he entered the store, he first led Xu Che to find a quiet corner nearby to sit down, and then called the little second brother and said, "If you want the best wine in the store, you can come up with five catties first, and you can look at the arrangement of the snacks." ”

The little second brother took the order and turned around to leave, but Xu Che on the side hurriedly called him to stop, and then opened his mouth to report the name of the dish, and said more than a dozen things before stopping, and finally asked: "Can these vegetable shops make it?"

The little second brother was already full of admiration, and involuntarily raised the thumb of his right hand and praised: "The guest officer is really a connoisseur who knows how to cook, these dishes are all famous dishes! Can you two eat that much?"

Xu Che said: "It's good to have it, just send it up." ”

The little second brother smacked his tongue and sighed a few more words, then retreated and ordered the kitchen.

Mu Xun glanced at Xu Che and said meaningfully: "You are really not polite to me." ”

Xu Che rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "You asked me to come, it's useless to regret it now." After speaking, he picked up the tea cup on the table and played with it for a while, and suddenly asked: "It's strange to say, although I have only known you for two days, I don't feel any sense of life, but I still feel a little kind, I don't know if you feel the same way?"

Seeing Xu Che's sudden revelation of his true feelings, Mu Xun was slightly surprised, but seeing that his expression was sincere, he thought about it seriously, and then agreed: "I won't tell you, I do feel this way." ”

Xu Che grinned and nodded slowly.

At this time, the little second brother had already walked to the table with the wine jar and dishes, and introduced: "Zhu Yeqing, who has ten years of skill, please taste it." After speaking, he knocked off the sealing mud on the wine jar, lifted the jar and poured two full bowls, and brought them to the two of them respectively.

Mu Xun picked up the wine bowl, sniffed it first, drank it all immediately, and then grinned and blew the wine, and exclaimed: "It's really good wine!"

Xu Che also learned from him, first picked up the wine bowl and sniffed it in front of his nose, only to feel the fragrance in his nose, take a sip, and feel the spicy abnormality in his mouth, but he still frowned and swallowed, this time he felt a fierce hot breath penetrating his chest and abdomen, so that he choked and coughed.

Seeing this, Mu Xun couldn't stop laughing.

Xu Che hurriedly took the teacup on the table, and drank all the tea in the cup, so far, the hot energy in the body dissipated, and then took a long breath, and said with a bitter face: "This wine smells sweet, bitter and spicy in the mouth, I don't know what to drink!"

Mu Xun shook his head and smiled: "There is a saying: 'The first taste of drinking is bitter, the second is astringent, the third is sweet, the fourth is to relieve sorrow, and the fifth is to be a fairy. 'It's your first time drinking today, and you're not going to taste the beauty of it, but when you've drunk it more often, you'll know the beauty of it.' ”

Xu Che was speechless about the aftertaste, and there was indeed a feeling of sweetness in his mouth, so he took another sip, but he still felt that it was unusually spicy, but compared to the previous sip, the bad feeling had been greatly weakened, and he drank a few sips at the moment, and gradually adapted to this spicy taste.

Mu Xun saw that he was accustomed to the taste of wine, so he frequently raised a bowl to drink with him. It's just that Mu Xun drank the whole bowl, and Xu Che took a small sip.

After a while, all the dishes were brought up, and a table was full, Xu Che was not polite, he ate with chopsticks, but Mu Xun didn't move the chopsticks, just drank by himself.

The two ate and drank quietly for a while, and Mu Xun suddenly asked, "Would you like to accompany me to another place?"

Xu Che's mouth was filled with food, but he said vaguely: "Didn't I already drink here with you?"

Mu Xun was stunned for a moment, then smiled dumbly, shook his head and said, "That's what I said before, but what I'm talking about now is another place." ”

Xu Che swallowed the food in his mouth, stopped his chopsticks and asked, "Where are you going?"

Mu Xun drank all the wine in the bowl and said, "I'm going to Gusu, I can't have friends on the way, are you willing to go with me?"

Xu Cheqi said: "What are you going to do in Gusu?"

Mu Xun said: "My grandfather is critically ill and needs to rush to see him off for the last time." ”

Xu Che suddenly said, "Oh, it turns out that the servants of the Lingtang family are here for this matter, but why did you go to Gusu alone?

Hearing Xu Che mention his father, Mu Xun couldn't help but snort coldly and said, "My father only cares about solving problems for his brother-in-law, how can he have time to go with me." ”

Xu Che remembered that he had heard Mu Beiting and Grandpa Guo call each other eldest brother and virtuous brother in Mu Mansion before, and if they were called like this, it proved that there must have been a righteous move, but he didn't know about the process of this matter, so he asked curiously: "Why did Uncle Mu delay the trip?"

Mu Xun said impatiently: "I will be annoyed when I think of this, you don't have to ask more, just say if you are willing to go with me." ”

Xu Che was puzzled: "Originally, it was okay to go with you, but if I left, my sick father at home would have no one to take care of, so... I'm afraid I won't be able to make it. ”

Mu Xun said: "I forgot about this. After thinking about it, he said, "Isn't Chen Hao adjacent to your house, can you ask him to take care of him for some time?"

Xu Che shook his head and said, "Chen Hao has the patience to take care of people, and he can't count on him." After a pause, he persuaded again: "Since your grandfather is critically ill, Uncle Mu is definitely going to go, and you should communicate with him again." ”

Mu Xun was willing to listen to persuasion, but sneered: "I don't care if he goes or not, and when he goes." Anyway, I decided to go on my own. ”

Xu Che saw that he was so resolute, knowing that it was useless to persuade more, so he didn't say more, but he secretly calculated in his heart, thinking about what happened in the past two days, he already owed him a lot, if he didn't accompany him on this trip, it would inevitably seem that he was not righteous enough, and he was really worried that he would have an accident on the road, so after thinking about it, he hesitated for a while, and finally decided to accompany him on this trip, and said: "It's okay for me to go with you, but you have to lend me some silver taels to let me settle my old father." ”

Mu Xun said: "This is easy, don't say that you borrowed it, I will give you twenty taels of silver as a reward for accompanying me to Gusu." After a pause, he said, "I may stay a little longer, and you don't have to accompany me." When we arrive in Gusu, I will find someone to take you back to Kunming, and you don't need to worry about being away from home for too long. ”

Xu Che nodded and asked, "Then when are we leaving?" I can also go home and pack up." ”

Mu Xun said: "What when, let's go immediately!"

Xu Che was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and responded: "That's right, the illness is not forgiving, and the time will not treat me, then I will go back to do something." He stood up as he spoke.

Mu Xun took out a money bag from his arms, took out a silver ingot from it, handed it to Xu Che, and asked, "Do you know the 'Yunju' Chamber of Commerce in East City?"

Xu Che stretched out his hand to take the silver, and nodded at the same time to indicate that he knew.

Mu Xun said: "I have some friendship with the leader of the 'Yunju' caravan, he often has caravans to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I will go to him first to inquire about the news, to see if there is a caravan on the way to take us together, after all, we have no customs clearance guide, and it will be difficult to go alone." When you settle down in your house, come and meet me. ”

Xu Che nodded in response, and then reminded: "We still have to inform Uncle Mu about our trip to Gusu, so as not to worry him." ”

Mu Xun waved his hand and said impatiently: "I know, you go quickly." ”

Xu Che had just taken two steps away from the table, and suddenly looked back at the table full of dishes, and asked, "Which of these dishes do you not want to eat?" I want to bring some back to my father to taste. ”

Mu Xun was stunned for a moment, and then said: "If you can take it away, take it all away, I'm not hungry." ”

Xu Che called the second brother after saying "thank you", asked him for oil paper, borrowed a large basin, and divided the chicken, duck and fish on the table into dry and wet pretends, then looked up and grinned at Mu Xun, and rushed out of the restaurant.

Mu Xun looked at Xu Che's departing back, his eyes showed admiration, and he sighed to himself: "Daddy Xu is really a blessing!" After speaking, he drank the last bowl of wine, got up and went to the account counter to settle the meal money, and stepped out to the east market.
