Chapter 40: Brewing Mellow Words

On the other hand, Lu Ming also learned the origin of the low and burly man in front of him.

This muscular man, named Liu Quan, is one round older than Lu Ming. Although he did not look like a hunter as his rugged appearance suggested, he was not far behind, and he was the craftsman of the famous blacksmith in the Xinghuawu.

It seems that sweating and wielding a hammer in front of the sparkling furnace as usual has made Liu Quan not only hit an incomparably strong iron weapon, but also a figure like steel juice.

In contrast, Lu Ming seems to be powerless, but fortunately, as a scholar, he doesn't care about this.

From a more in-depth conversation, Liu Quan gushed about his past with the strength of wine.

What made Lu Ming feel coincidental was that Liu Quan was the same as himself in the past, and he also had his ambition to walk in a high position and see all the small at a glance, but he was full of economic prosperity and no one appreciated it, and he went to Shu with enthusiasm to catch up with the exam and ended up unsatisfactory, so he took over the family tradition in frustration, took on the ironmaking skills inherited by his ancestors, and became the relay of Liu's blacksmith shop.

"No wonder I heard that Brother Liu's remarks were like a literati, and it turned out that he was in the same situation as Zaixia. Lu Ming sighed.

"Although the sky is high and the sea is wide for you to swim, and you go straight to the clouds and sails to the sea, I am young and frivolous, but now that I think about it, it is just empty sorrow for me. Liu Quan tore open a jar of drunken red dust again.

Meeting Lu Ming reminded him of the past, and he was not a white-clothed scholar with great ambitions.

Once surging, I lost my heart. How many young gentlemen who are similar to each other have happened to each other?

When ideals meet reality, what is often obtained is not a minute rain and wind, but a merciless slap on the head.

Liu Quan looked back at himself at the moment, but he had already degenerated into a raunchy man with rare hair. He suddenly woke up at this moment, recalling the tender son who told stories at the banquet in the past, it turned out that that was the self he dreamed of rediscovering, but all this has been blown beyond recognition by the wind.

The person who keeps cutting the past and can't get rid of his sorrows is himself.

"!"

Liu Quan directly picked up the wine jar and poured it into his throat under the jaw-dropping gaze of the people around him.

Liu Quan's dry words were four times, and what he told Lu Ming was not to dry the wine in front of him.

Lu Ming grabbed the big bowl, poured it out, and looked at Liu Quan in awe, "!!"

These simple two horizontal and one vertical contain Liu Quan's lost contemplation and sudden awakening for more than ten years.

What Liu Quan told Lu Ming was to do it against fate! And he had to fucking let it go!!

The wine was gurgling in his throat, and even though Lu Ming's stomach was already turning over, he still had tears in his eyes.

The spark in his heart, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly burst into flames and burned into an overwhelming flame.

He was misty and misty, relying on his mortal eyes to see through the sky and secretly understand its quality. It's just that Lu Ming, who doesn't take things seriously at the moment, doesn't know what this moment of epiphany means.

With a clang, the wine jar shattered to the ground, and one person fell down in response.

With a clatter, the bowl cracked, and one person fell to the ground.

"Ahh

"This young man was also drunk when he saw Ma. ”

"A big bowl to drink red dust wine, which one is not drunk is weird~"

"It's a pity, the wedding banquet hasn't officially started yet, why did these two people drink down?"

"Drunken red dust wine is so intoxicating?"

"That's not it, you go and try it, I'll make sure you pour three bowls. ”

"Huhu, I don't drink it, you guy want to see me embarrassed?"

"Hahaha.."

Many people gathered around, and you said something to me, chattering with surprise, joke, worry, ridicule, and curiosity.

Seeing that there was a situation here, two rare and casual porters squeezed in with sauce and braised chicken legs, and just happened to see the two people who were drunk and lying on the ground.

A low gatehouse said hello, and the tall gatehouse squeezed out, and after a while, a few more tall gatemen were brought in, and Lu Ming and Liu Quan on the ground were lifted on the bracket.

After the two were dragged away, the tall porter ate the sauce and marinated wings again.

"Hehe, big guys, continue to eat and drink well! Our dock master has already prepared a clean bedroom for drunken guests and distant guests, and Blacksmith Liu and the young people who came from afar will be the first two guests of our Xinghua Courtyard tonight." ”

"Gentlemen eat and drink freely, tonight the guests of our apricot blossom banquet are sleepy and have a room to live, drunk and carried by others, hehe, our dock master said, I don't accept the money in your blanket, I just hope that when the newcomer Luanfeng comes over to sprinkle joy, we can applaud here and make some efforts!"

"The owner of Xinghuawu is so hearted, I and other tourists can also receive this hospitality, brother rest assured, our buddies not only give applause, but also have to shout hoarse!"

The guests cheered and cheered, whether they were foreign or not, they all sat next to each other equally, pushed their cups and dripped, and shared with each other a lot of delicacies.

...

The moon and stars are bright, and the stars are lit up.

At this time, on the brightly lit Huawu Avenue, two carriages were galloping in a hurry.

Why did Mangwa negligently take the crooked road, so that the group tossed on the road for two hours more than originally planned.

So along the way, Yinhua scolded him for a ride, and even the hook-nosed man surprisingly didn't stop Yinhua.

On the way to find the way, Xiao Nianxi learned from Mangwa's mouth that there was no ghost in Xinghuawu at night, and he thought of Niu Camel Cloud Mountain, he secretly wondered if it had anything to do with it, and Fang Yu listened to it, his face was full of disbelief, for him who was mixed in the rivers and lakes, he had never heard of such a large area of night ghosts in addition to the city-state, but unfortunately he was already hungry and complained, and he couldn't help but use his brain, but the difference in this place also drew a symbol in his heart.

The horse's hooves stepped on the red and festive avenue, and the crimson light of the red paper lotus hexagonal lantern instantly flushed the cheeks of the group.

"Why is the house in Huawu so beautiful!" Qiao'er's eyes were full of color, and the night breeze blew away the green silk that she didn't have time to stir.

This was the first time Qiao'er saw people outside, and she suddenly found that the outside world was so joyful and beautiful.

She couldn't help but think of the small Fengxi Village where she had lived since she could remember, and the small cottage that fell at the head of the village.

And, the kind old man, her grandfather.

"Grandpa, Qiao'er saw it, this is the outside world... Qiao'er followed Brother Nianxi and Sister Dou, and we were watching together."

Qiao'er's words were subtle and quiet, but they couldn't escape Xiao Nianxi's sharp ears.

"Qiao'er~" Xiao Nianxi raised her head and called out her name in the light glass.

Fang Yu crossed her legs like a second-rate child, and the little girl who was secretly crying in the carriage, he naturally saw it in his eyes, but he couldn't understand what this girl had experienced.

"Brother Nianxi. ”

Qiao'er quickly wiped the corners of her eyes, and instantly became still energetic, and she didn't know whether it was a cover of kindness or a sincere heart.

Xiao Hongdou's face was embarrassed for no reason, it was a beautiful day at the moment, and her brother called Qiao'er's name next to her so affectionately, in her mind, there was only the scene of the affectionate confession under the moon before the flower.

She even planned to urgently agree on behalf of Qiao'er, lest her brother and Qiao'er miss the opportunity.

Xiao Nianxi's thin green shirt was blown loudly, and he ignored Fang Yu's nonchalant inquiry.

He smiled casually, a certain thought in his heart changed, and he no longer planned to settle Qiao'er in Shushui City.

"Qiao'er, do you want to go with us to the Oriental Circle of Zhouzhou, to meet the Xianshan Emei, Baqiao Qushui, Jianmen Xiongguan, to the place where Li Du's poems are in full bloom, to see the mountains and rivers of Guilin, to the West Wangyue Lake, to go to the city columns, the lights of ten thousand homes! to climb the Yellow Crane Tower of the Hanshan Temple of the Tengwang Pavilion! to listen to the sound of apes on both sides of the strait, and the flying stream goes straight down to 3,000 feet. Then, let's go together to feel the prosperity of Chang'an City on the clouds. ”

"I want to go. I want to go with my brothers and sisters!" Qiao'er covered her little mouth and stopped crying in an incredible and flattered happiness.

She looked at Xiao Nianxi's back and felt that she was too small to repay, but how could it be worth Nianxi's brother to worry about herself?

In fact, she knew that this fairy-like big brother could ignore her at all, even if she was left to fend for herself, she had nothing to complain about, but he took good care of herself, and even her whispered wish was constantly listened to.

He may be the so-called noble man that his grandfather has been talking about all year round.

Qiao'er's smile was more gorgeous than the apricot blossoms and peach blossoms on the side of the road.

She brews mellow words in her heart

- Now, my nobleman.
