Chapter 82: Northland Customs
The cold wind howled through the northern lands, and although the extreme wind was cold, the aborigines welcomed the cold wind very much.
They called it "Bohes", which means the call of spring... Because after the call of this cold winter, the spring day, a symbol of hope, will come, everything will be reborn, the buds will break through the shackles of the land and the ice, the frozen rivers will break, the fish will swim in them, and the hibernating animals will wake up to bring life to this bleak land.
The most important are the nomads from the Far North, and the Wuhuan will stop their invasion and plunder of the northern kingdoms until the next winter.
The weather in the north is very different from that in the Central Plains... There is a saying that there was no winter in the north, and the four seasons were like spring, but the true martial gods of the north angered the emperor and was given a cold winter punishment, so there is today's spring in addition to the extreme cold.
"Little Er, serve me a bowl of wine, anything goes. "This is in a tavern in Zhumayi in the northern kingdom of Yan, a young man has just come out of the cold wind and entered this tavern, he rubbed off a pair of leather cases in his hands, and sat tremblingly on a corner seat.
"Okay. "The folk customs of Yandi are simple, and the people here are not as twisted as the people of the Central Plains. Xiao Er answered cleanly, and after a while, he carried a jar of wine and smashed it in front of the young man.
"The signboard of the small shop, the 'Luo Chun' from the south, the guest officer must have this mouth. Xiao Er laughed at the young man.
The young man also smiled and motioned for Xiao Er to pour wine into the bowl in front of him.
"Hahaha, where is this hillbilly? What can you do to pay the bill, look at you, the tattered clothes and boots, oh... Brothers, his dirty thumb sticks out from the front of his turf shoes, hahaha. "Just as the young man picked up the bowl in front of him and was about to drink... Untimely taunts took aim at him.
The man who spoke was a man who was nine feet tall.
"Orphan Eyes. Drink your wine, and it will be your turn for my guests to judge?" Xiao Er was not idle, and after helping the young man pour it, he turned back and scolded the man directly.
"Cripple donkey, you are not a good hall, and you also protect this poor boy? The strong man didn't feel annoyed by Xiao Er's words, but squeezed back.
"Then you should tell me how much wine money you owe our shopkeeper?" The little second didn't take a break, and straightened back the words of the orphan's eyes.
"It's... Isn't this all a joke?" the orphan-eyed sneered awkwardly, turned around and lowered himself to stuff a piece of cured meat into his mouth.
"Tsk. The little two spat a mouthful of phlegm in the orphan's eyes, then smiled at the young man and said, "Isn't the guest a local? The guests don't have to worry about him, just eat and drink... Although our shop is small and profitable, it is also a little famous in Zhumayi, and they dare not do it. ”
The young man nodded, not saying anything, just raised the half-empty wine bowl to his mouth, and as the Adam's apple rolled up and down, he gulped the wine in the bowl into his stomach... After drinking, I don't forget to comment.
"Good wine!"
"You're really knowledgeable. Xiao Er saw that the young man's wine had been drunk, and he immediately smiled. "Then you can eat by yourself, I'll go to the back kitchen first, and you will let me know if there is something." With that, he took his leave.
With Xiao Er as a guarantee, the big man didn't think about the young man again. He drank a bowl of wine to himself, and then told his accomplices the anecdotes of the day.
"Hey, brothers, something big happened in Jicheng today, the big man who came to join the prince of the Jin Kingdom was found dead in the snow, hahaha. "The orphan's eyes were a little fluttering. "It is said that only the body was found, and no head was found... That big man finally ran from Jindi, but now his head has been removed... It's really funny, the eldest son is now a big bad luck. ”
With a pop, the young man sitting in the corner shook his hand, and the wooden bowl fell to the ground with the wine... It took everyone in the room by surprise.
"Hey, poor ghost, I can't hold the bowl steadily, why don't you go and be a girl?
The young man sneered back, but did not answer.
Dahan felt a little bored, and glanced at the young man fiercely, then turned back and told the story to himself.
"That man died a terrible death, but his status was extremely high... I heard my brother who was on an errand in the government say that this man's name seems to be Fan...?"
"Fan Wuji?" the young man asked tentatively.
"Yes, that's right, that's the name. The man nodded again and again... But after a few breaths, he realized that the words were coming from behind him, so he turned around and shouted at the young man again, and threatened: "Can you shut up? Big deal waiting for you to walk out of this door. ”
But obviously, young people don't really want to understand this.
He sat up from his seat and walked straight to Orphan Eye.
He took a string of coppers, slapped them on the wine table in front of One-eyed, and then asked him in a low and hoarse voice, "I want to ask for some details about this matter, I know the rules of your gang, so I have prepared money for you... As for whether you can get it or not, I still have to say it. ”
The young man buried his eyes behind his messy, mud-stained bangs, but Orphan Eye suddenly looked surprised and couldn't speak anymore... Even a wild wolf like him, who was free from the tip of the knife, smelled the smell of danger and prepared to retreat.
