The husband knocked on the bang outside the window - one slow and two fast, safe and sound - it was the third watch.

When the people in the tavern heard the bang, they struggled to their feet, went to the counter and paid the bill, and then went one by one.

In the end, there were still four people left in the restaurant, a blind man, a young man, a drunk, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant, Lao Gu Shou.

Lao Gu Shouxing went to close the door, only to find that it was already raining outside.

After closing the door, he turned to look at the other three people in the room, bowed slightly, and said with a flattering smile: "Several guest officers, it's been this hour, aren't you going home?"

There was silence all around, and no one answered him.

Lao Gu Shou pursed his mouth, flicked his sleeves, and said stupidly: "I'll drive people out in three moments." As he spoke, he was about to look at the back kitchen.

Before he had walked five steps, someone called him, "The shopkeeper—" and turned back, but it was the blind man in the east.

"Do what?"

"Come here. The blind man beckoned.

Lao Gu Shou pursed his mouth again, only thinking that he was drunk, and said angrily: "This master, you want to have fun, go to that pavilion, we can't serve you in a small restaurant." ”

After speaking, the blind man still beckoned: "Come here." ”

Lao Gu Shou frowned, but he still passed in the end. Standing aside, the blind man poured a cup and gave it to him. He waved his hand and refused: "I don't drink." ”

"Shopkeeper, don't you appreciate your face like this?"

Lao Gu Shou didn't answer.

The blind man smiled and said: "At this hour, I don't think you have any work, so sit down, drink two drinks with me, and I will talk to you, and you will be shameless and close to you, is it feasible?"

Lao Gu Shou saw that he had said this, but he didn't want to brush him anymore, so he patted the folds on his body twice, and sat down suddenly. The blind man gave up the wine, and he took it up, and drank it all.

The blind man heard his smacking lips and smiled and asked, "How?"

Lao Gu Shou gave this question, and was a little stunned: his own wine, since there is no reason to say bad, and it looks thick when he says it, because he turned a corner, he replied:

"This wine is brewed for the guests to drink, whether it is good or not, it is natural for you to say. ”

The blind man laughed, hahaha, very atmospheric. At the end, he said, "I think it's good, it's just one." ”

Lao Gu Shou came to the spirit: "How?"

"Cut your throat. ”

Lao Gu Shou sighed and said with a smile: "Give you a new pot?"

"Not necessarily. The blind man excused himself, "Even so, in this Xiangyang City, when it comes to winemaking, there are few that can surpass your old Gu Shou." ”

The meaning of these words made Lao Gu Shou quite proud.

"I heard that the drunkard in Mingtang is a few pecks from you?"

Hearing this, Lao Gu Shou's face tightened: "What kind of drunken maniac?"

"Ouch, you've been running a restaurant here for more than ten years, won't you be ignorant?" the blind man laughed, "That drunken maniac, surnamed Bai, heard that he was an ace Heavenly Master of Mingtang back then." ”

Lao Gu Shou swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned his head, and looked around the room. The young man in the west head had no intention of stopping, and the man in the north head had already fallen asleep on the desk and snoring.

He took a breath, snorted twice, and said, "You're not from Xiangyang, aren't you?"

"What do you mean by that?"

This is a talk that cannot be opened in Xiangyang. ”

The blind man laughed and said, "It seems that Mingtang's reputation in the local area is quite standing. Hmph - ridiculous. ”

Lao Gu Shouqi said: "What is ridiculous?"

"It's ridiculous that this Mingtang is going to collapse, only you Xiangyang people are still in the dark!"

Lao Gu Shou kicked and almost stood up, he hurriedly put his finger to his lips and said, "What are you talking nonsense-"

While shouting, he looked around, "Fortunately, it's midnight, if you want to hear the patrol during the day, you will not be able to avoid the pain of prison!"

The blind man laughed and said, "What's the matter? If you say something bad, you have to go to jail?" said that, sifting another glass of wine up, and said with a smile, "Then I want to say a good thing—

"Na Mingtang's talents ran away three years ago, and there was only an empty shelf left, and he couldn't afford to raise the wind and waves!

"Hey-left a stunned green man who didn't have any hair, and he started as a family in a good way, but recently, he messed up the recruitment of Lin'an, you said, Mingtang doesn't collapse, who else will collapse-"

With a "dang" sound, suddenly a wine jug slapped on the table. Old Gu Shou and the blind man were both startled, and before they could respond, they heard the man say:

"The two of you are talking a lot, why don't you mix with the little man?"

The voice was clear, Lang Lang was a young man, who was originally a young man from the west, and came over with wine.

The blind man and Lao Gu Shouzheng hesitated, and the young man waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I brought wine from myself and poured it for the two of you." As he spoke, Ling Ling poured two cups out.

Old Gu Shou was shocked by Shicai's words, and did not dare to drink another drop, and the blind man hesitated for a moment, and finally drank it from his cup.

Shaoxia put his chin on his elbows, lay on the table, and asked with interest: "Senior, you said that the young master of Mingtang broke the Lin'an recruiter, what is the reason?"

The blind man choked and said, "The reason for the trick of an eighteen-year-old hairy child, I don't know what the reason is!"

Shaoxia frowned, and said: "In this case, why did the seniors say that the Mingtang is going to collapse?"

The blind man smiled and said, "What? Do you think what I said is false? Heh, young man, I understand your thoughts, as far as your generation is concerned, who doesn't regard the Ming Hall as a holy place for cultivation in their hearts—but that was three years ago!"

"Now that you have gone out of Xiangyang City to inquire, who didn't say that the number one sect of Xuanmen in the past was in danger and the building was about to collapse!

Before the words fell, the young man had already "snapped" and slapped the table, brushed up, rested one leg on the stool, lifted the hem, and was about to make a gesture, the old Gu Shou saw this posture, hurriedly retreated, and only listened to the young man say sentence by sentence:

"Since the completion of the Ming Hall has fallen, the rudder is hundreds, the Central Plains is suppressed, the demons are eliminated, the evil is killed, the people are happy, and the worries are shared for the present, and there are no monsters and monsters rampant in the past few decades, this is a matter within the Xuanzong, and there is no need to repeat it.

"In the ugly year, the war in Central Yunnan, the war in the palace capital stretched south, the bones were exposed, and there were thousands of mournings, and there were martyrs who went to the front line in Mingtang, and there were also benevolent people who helped the common people.

"At that time, not to mention those small sects, Yunmen and Taiyi, one of the three major Xuanzongs, one was busy digging treasures, and the other was busy with civil strife in Dingge, who could take care of the refugees in the country?

"Speaking of the year of Gengzi, there was a famine, and there were floods, and there were countless refugees who were displaced and their families were ruined overnight!

"Donate 1,000 stones of grain and grass, 10,000 taels of silver! After the disaster, send protégés to help the people in distress repair their houses and rebuild their homes, what a merit this is! At that time, where was Yunmen? Where was Taiyi!

"In the eyes of the people, Mingtang has long been incomparable with those rivers and lakes Xuanmen. In their hearts, the Ming Hall is the place of the people

Such a big country and important town, how can you say that it will collapse, and it will collapse!"

"You-" After some refution, the blind man was extremely angry, and when he started to shoot the case, he wanted to turn his lips.

However, when he straightened up, he fit himself into a battle, and was about to fall down in horror, and then he was terrified, and exclaimed, "You—the wine you gave me—"

Shaoxia smiled: "Ordinary wine, but mixed with some sulfur." ”

"What—Brimstone! You—"

"Youkai - quickly appear. ”
