At the end of February, the grass in the south of the Yangtze River grows and the warbler flies, the birds sing and the flowers are fragrant, and the spring is full of indescribable.

On the official road leading to Hangzhou, a young man came slowly, his immature face was full of dust, but his pace was brisk, and he was leisurely and comfortable in his anticipation, and he did not take the hard journey as a crime at all.

Suddenly, a gust of wind rose, and from the bamboo forest in front of the right, a green cloth wine flag was blown out.

The boy smashed his mouth and pulled out a purse from his arms. One side of the purse is embroidered with colored silk peony, the needle path is graceful, the grace and luxury of the peony are depicted vividly; the other side is embroidered with the word "peace", the surface is black and shiny, and some of the thread feet have begun to crack.

There was a hint of nostalgia on the young man's face, perhaps after a long time of baptism, he seemed to be sad but not sad. He opened his purse, and there was nothing but a letter and a stack of IOUs.

The wind blew tighter and tighter, and suddenly a light rain began to fall. There is a flat river ahead, although Hangzhou is nowhere to be seen, and there are no people. The sky was overcast, and the rain would not stop for a while.

The young man had to put away his purse and run towards the bamboo forest. After walking through the cobblestone road, I ran for dozens of steps, and a wine shop made of pine wood suddenly came into view.

Entering from the door, the three-zhang square storefront, crowded with no less than 30 people, not only less than the long Xianji, but also the monks and laymen are complete, and the end is full of friends.

Xiao Er leaned lazily on the edge of the counter, propped up his drooping eyelids, glanced at the visitor, and didn't wait for the other party to open his mouth, and hurriedly said: "If the son is drinking, the small shop will make secret wine, and it will not be taken out." ”

There is still a bit of ink in his stomach, although the suspicion is overflowing, but the wording is elegant, but it does not make people feel hateful.

The young man's eyes rolled and he said with a smile: "The little second brother misunderstood." ”

"What's the misunderstanding? Childe also saw it, and he really couldn't receive it. "Xiao Er was called and drunk in the morning, and he was already exhausted, and his usual temper of two points rose by eight points.

It's just that those people are either fierce and vicious, or yin and weird, and none of them seem to be good. Compared with the young man in front of him, he looked weak and couldn't help it, so he didn't need to be patient.

The shopkeeper heard the noise and poked his head out from behind the counter, if Xiao Er was so slacking off like usual, he would naturally have to be reprimanded. He frowned when he saw the visitor's ragged clothes, and then quietly shrank back.

The young man coughed and said, "Little second brother doesn't know, as early as a year ago, Uncle Bai made an appointment with me to negotiate a deal in your store today. ”

He didn't say anything, and more than a dozen pairs of bright eyes swept towards him. Several people were suddenly ready to move, if it weren't for the companions around them to stop them in time, they were afraid that they would not be able to sit still.

The young man was stunned for a moment, and only said that the white food covenant he fabricated out of thin air was recognized, and he made a gesture and said, "Since Uncle Bai is not here, I won't bother the little second brother." ”

Although Xiao Er and "Uncle Bai" have never known each other in their lives, it is expected that since he is called an uncle, his identity goes without saying, and he can buy and sell with him, how can he have nothing to do? His lifeless face seemed to be hit with chicken blood, and he was immediately refreshed and said with concern: "It's raining outside, and I see that my son doesn't bring rain gear, but he won't get drenched." Why don't you use some tea first and wait a while? Uncle Bai may have something to delay on the way. ”

The young man hesitated and said, "Didn't the little second brother just say that he couldn't entertain him?" When the little second brother saw someone serving the food, he knew that he was vain, his face was red, and he was not embarrassed: "Although the guests are full, maybe they are crowded, and there are still places." It was difficult for the teenager to ride a tiger, so he had to catch the ducks on the shelves: "It's good to have a bit, it's okay to squeeze it." ”

Outside the pine-backed window was a six-foot-wide stream. The stream is gentle, crystal clear, and there are fish leisurely and calmly, or in groups together, or swimming alone, maybe from Haoliang?

From time to time, the petals of peach blossoms float across the surface of the water, like a touch of beauty on the lips. The source of the stream, I wonder if it is the source of the legendary peach blossoms?

Crossing the river is a paddy field, which is vertical and horizontal, and there are houses in between. Looking at it in the rain and fog, it looks like a faint ink painting.

In the breeze, there is a girl's singing voice sent with the wind: the line is re-lined, and the king is separated, more than 10,000 miles away, each in the end of the world, the road is blocked and long, and the meeting is safe...... The song is full of endless sorrow and farewell, infinite lovesickness.

Close to the windowsill, sat a middle-aged man, who seemed to be led by singing, holding a wine bowl to his lips and drinking without drinking, and the dishes on the table showed no signs of turning.

Xiao Er cautiously called twice, but did not answer. He ushered in the send-off, knowing the subtlety of it, in an overcrowded store, this person alone at a table, definitely not a master to be messed with.

Xiao Er didn't dare to make a mistake, and looked at the young man with blank eyes. The boy nodded and gestured, "It's okay, I'll do it myself." ”

Xiao Er said: "The small one will go to the son Zhang Luo, but in terms of price, there are a total of 19 dishes in this store, each of which is not less than three dishes, and each dish is divided into large, medium and small ......."

When the young man heard him talk, his hunger doubled, and he stiffened his head and responded: "The price is not a problem, the key is to make Uncle Bai happy." "It's come to this point, and I have no choice but to repeat the same trick. He has been away from home for a long time, and the belongings he carries with him have recently been exhausted, and he lives on credit for three meals a day, and he doesn't realize that there is a pile of IOUs.

This is still his luck, meeting friendly shops, meeting those with bad tempers, and I don't know how many old fists he has eaten. Fortunately, he has learned some punches and feet, and his body has been practiced very solidly, even if people are not light, it falls on him, but the effect is very little. If you don't change to an ordinary person, you will have to hurt your muscles and bones along the way, and whether you can get to Hangzhou is just afraid of Dacheng's problems?

Xiao Er said with a sneer: "The little one understands, Uncle Bai eats happily, and the son's business will naturally go smoothly." "I thought I was going to do it.

The young man pulled out a bench, sat down opposite the big man, and took a closer look, only to see a burly figure, a purple face, eyebrows like splashed ink, a nose like a mountain, and a beard, as if it was the appearance of the generous and tragic song of Yan Zhao in the book.

The wind suddenly turned, and the singing stopped. The big man woke up suddenly, only to realize that there was a young man sitting opposite him at some point, who looked unbearable, and there was a happy look on his face. Although he was meditating, he couldn't help but smile dumbly, raised the wine bowl in his hand and asked, "The spring is cold, is it possible for the little brother to drink?"

The young man was overjoyed, hurriedly got up, and sighed deeply: "Thank you for the kindness of the strong man, I don't dare to ask for it!"

The big man looked around, knowing that today's period was only afraid that it would be the end of the day. Although there are countless dangers in his life, he has never surpassed them compared to today. He shook his head slightly, shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind, and shouted loudly: "Shopkeeper, come here for another five catties of Daqu and add another pair of dishes and chopsticks." ”

The counter responded in time, and not long after, Xiao Er brought the wine. The young man stopped and said, "The little second brother came just in time, and he was about to inform you that the wine under the order is no longer needed." "He is hungry and thirsty, which is really a helpless move, and now that someone is doing the east, naturally there is no need to take risks.

"No need?" Xiao Er's voice was sharpened, and even the honorific title was omitted in a hurry. The young man pointed to the big man in the opposite seat and explained: "This is Uncle Bai, I didn't know that they had already prepared it, so it would be a waste for me to call for another seat." ”

Xiao Er glared at the man, and the expression on his face was so hateful that he couldn't bend into a move. It was also a coincidence that the man actually nodded: "I'm shocking." The young man was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly surrendered his hand: "But 'Thor' Bai Daxia?

Bai Jingtian replied with a salute, and said confusedly: "Little brother knows Bai?" He has been famous for a long time, and he has been courteous by his younger generations, although he deserves it, but he has made friends all over the world, and he takes character and behavior first, and pleasing to the eye as the second, and never holds his own identity.

The boy shook his head, about to reply. Xiao Er suddenly "pounced" and knelt on the ground: "Childe, you have a lot of adults, don't make small jokes, small people are small and timid, and they can't be frightened." He said, "I can't stand the fright," and not only his face turned pale, but even his body trembled.

The young man was stunned and said: "Little second brother, there is gold under the man's knees, what are you doing?" Xiao Er said to himself: "The son is handsome, and it is not a thing in the pool at first glance." Being able to make friends with a character like Gongzi is a blessing from Xiao's previous life, don't say that losing a table of wine is to take the life of your family, and there is no regret. ”

The young man helped Xiao Er up and said, "Little Second Brother is serious." Xiao Er said to himself: "The little one listens to books in the city in his spare time, preaching that 'the one who is a confidant dies', although the little one is born low, but he also yearns for it." It's just that there are old and young people in the family, and it is really unbearable to let the young ones starve and freeze. ”

When he said "I can't bear it", tears in his eyes were shining, and he suddenly wanted to cry. The young man looked at him with a sad expression, which made it difficult to distinguish the truth from the false, and said angrily: "Little second brother, a man is in the world, and it is okay to be able to come to your realm and get ahead in the sunrise." ”

Xiao Er lowered his head and resigned: "The little one must redouble his efforts to live up to the expectations of his son." The young man forced a smile: "Then when you become the shopkeeper in the future, come and invite me again." Turning to the white, he was about to speak and stopped.

Bai shocked the rivers and lakes, and had a deep understanding of the difficulties of the journey. took out a piece of silver from his bosom and threw it to Xiao Er: "This is the wine money of the family and me, and the rest will be rewarded to you." ”

Xiao Er weighed secretly, and there were more than a dozen or two weights. Ren is his usual lips are clever and surprised, and he can't say a word. Only the thoughts in my mind are kept turning like a windmill: I want other people's wine money to be at most three taels of silver, and although the young man is rectifying, he can rely on his own mouth to spend some tongue in front of the shopkeeper, and he can't give it to other guests. As a result, there were more than seven taels of silver left, and all the silver flowed into his pocket.

Xiao Er secretly pondered: "Catch Ming'er quit this job, use it as capital, do some small business, and if it comes to operation, it will not be able to develop at the beginning." The more I thought about it, the more I felt that there was a bright light in front of me, and I couldn't help but smile and leave.

Bai Jingtian looked back, caught a glimpse of everyone's fierce eyes, he knew that it was difficult to be good, so he simply took out all the remaining silver on his body and pushed it in front of the young man: "Little brother is trapped on a journey, if you don't dislike it, I still have some change here, I can talk about solving the urgent need." ”

The young man hurriedly got up and said earnestly: "Monkey King Bai has been grateful for the righteous relief of the siege, how dare you be greedy?"

Bai Jingtian stared at him, and saw his expression and demeanor, sincere and upright, and he could see Li Siyi at a young age, as if he wanted to make friends with him in ordinary times. He knew that in this special period, too much intersection would be harmful, so he sat back in his place, waved his hand, and pretended to be impatient: "The man is a big man, and he is as good as his mother-in-law and mother-in-law, so people don't look down on him." ”

A person on the east side slammed the table, shaking the cups, saucers, and chopsticks on it, and shouted loudly: "The surname is white, full of wine and food, and talk more about idle things...... Speaking of the back, the sound of slapping the table, drawing swords, swords, shouting and scolding, kicking and kicking, and all kinds of sounds are chaotic.
