Chapter 33: The Old Drunkard (2)
"A hundred-year-old daughter is red, it's really good wine. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Ning Xiaotang said, "But old drunkard, you know, I don't drink." ”
"I know. ”
"Then you bring the wine. ”
"Didn't you open an inn? you need wine here, you need good wine. ”
"Even if you're right. Ning Xiaotang didn't deny it, "But I know, you old drunkard, good wine is more important than your own life, why are you suddenly willing to take out such good wine?"
"You think I'm willing?"
"Ha, sure enough. I knew that you, an old drunkard, suddenly had nothing to do and were courteous, and you must be either a traitor or a thief. ”
"Don't say it so badly. The old man's face turned even redder, and he didn't know if he was drinking, or he was embarrassed.
"Say, it must be a big deal to make you bleed so much. ”
"It's a big problem for me. However, it shouldn't be a big deal for you. ”
Ning Xiaotang said, "Oh? ”
The old man breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "You know, old man, I don't know anything, so I will make some wine. ”
Ning Xiaotang nodded and said with a smile: "But your little wine-making technique can't be exchanged for ten thousand gold." ”
"Alas, it's a pity, now that someone has taken a fancy to my winemaking skills, they have to ask me to hand over the secret recipe for winemaking, won't this cost me my life?"
"Old drunkard, five years ago, I suggested that you relearn some martial arts. If you had listened to me at the time, you would have been a little more self-protective now. ”
"You said it lightly, old man, I'm about to enter the coffin, you let me learn martial arts again?" The old man sighed, shook his head and said: "Old man, I'm old, I don't have such big ambitions, I just want to stay away from the rivers and lakes, live a stable life, and raise my granddaughter to adulthood, so that I will be satisfied." ”
Looking at the gloomy and vicissitudes of life revealed by the old man, Ning Xiaotang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Ning Xiaotang and the old man had known each other for almost six or seven years, and I remember that when I saw him for the first time, the other party was almost dying. Although he is not dead, he is almost the same as a dead man, and half of his foot has entered the ghost gate.
In the end, it was Ning Xiaotang who made a move and pulled him back from the ghost gate. However, although Ning Xiaotang cured him, his strong martial arts were completely abolished.
And the cause and effect of the incident is nothing more than those grievances and vendettas on the rivers and lakes.
The old man finally killed the other party, but he himself ended up with a complete martial arts and almost died.
Between life and death, it often changes a person.
After recovering from his injury, the old man seemed to have changed as a different person.
He was tired of fighting and killing in the rivers and lakes, and he couldn't arouse the slightest interest in martial arts.
From then on, the old man withdrew from the rivers and lakes, and he returned to the countryside and lived in seclusion in the small place of Shanyin County, Yuezhou.
It's just that sometimes, it often backfires.
You want to stay away from the rivers and lakes, but the rivers and lakes have found you.
No, although the old man wanted to live a peaceful ordinary life, someone still found him.
Ning Xiaotang sighed lightly and said, "Old man, let's talk about it, who has found you? ”
The old man said: "The person who found me is the apprentice of the ruthless Deng Han, named Li Da. ”
"Ruthless Deng Han?" Ning Xiaotang frowned slightly, "One of the six evils in Jiangnan?"
"It is Deng Han, one of the six evils in Jiangnan. The old man nodded and said, "Coincidentally, I had a fight with the six evils of Jiangnan back then, and this Deng Han's apprentice Li Da was on the side. So when he saw me yesterday, he recognized me. ”
"When the boy saw me, he was shocked. But then, the old man, I almost died at the hands of that kid. When the boy recognized me, he turned and ran, but before he could run away, he magically threw me a handful of thistles. At this, the old man was depressed.
Ning Xiaotang sighed: "Old man, then your life is really big, since you are not dead now, I think it was Xiaorou who took action to block those thistles for you." ”
The old man nodded and said, "That's right, it was Xiaorou who saved my life." ”
The little girl couldn't help but raise her head to look at everyone, with a proud face: "With me, no one can hurt grandpa." ”
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
The old man glanced at his granddaughter with satisfaction and continued: "At the same time, that kid also saw the details of the abolition of my martial arts. And my ability to make wine can't be abolished, so that kid started to think about it. Fortunately, Xiaorou was there, so that kid didn't succeed. ”
"However, although that kid has temporarily retreated, I don't think he will give up, once he attracts the six evils of Jiangnan, with Xiaorou's martial arts, he will not be an opponent at all. ”
"The Six Great Evils of Jiangnan...... Ning Xiaotang narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't worry, old drunkard, I'll help you solve this matter, I'll go to you tonight." If the six evils of Jiangnan really dare to come, I will definitely leave them with an unforgettable memory. ”
"That's for the best. ”
"By the way, old drunkard, such a century-old daughter is red, bring me another altar. ”
"Another jar? You think it's Chinese cabbage, as many as you want. ”
"I know you must have a collection. ”
"I still have it, but don't you don't drink? This jar of good wine is more than enough for your town shop. ”
"It's not for my own use, the old monk of the empty space, it's not a hundred years old, I always have to give a gift. ”
"What?" the old man laughed, looked at Ning Xiaotang strangely and said, "You plan to send a jar of wine to the empty bald donkey?" ”
Meng Haoyun and the little girl were also surprised, the monk quit drinking, this is a well-known thing. They couldn't understand why Ning Xiaotang would consider sending wine.
At the same time, Meng Haoyun was even more surprised that his master had even met Master Kong. But if you think about it, you will know it in your heart. In his heart, his master is also a martial arts veteran, and it is not surprising that he met Master Kong.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm not so stupid, naturally I can't send wine directly. Ning Xiaotang explained, "You know, I will also refine the pill, I plan to use such a hundred-year-old daughter red, plus some herbs, to refine an elixir that can bring the dead back to life." ”
"You said such an elixir, will the old monk accept it?"
The old man grinned and said, "With you, such an elixir, where would the bald donkey refuse." I'm afraid that even if I tell him that this elixir was refined by you with my hundred-year-old daughter red, he will probably still accept it with peace of mind. ”
Ning Xiaotang smiled slightly and said, "The old monk is not pedantic, if it really comes to the moment when his life is at stake, even if it is really a bowl of wine, if he can save his life, he will not hesitate to drink it." ”
The old man nodded with a smile and said, "Don't say it, that bald donkey can really do such a thing." And after drinking, he said Amitabha Buddha at most, wine and meat through the intestines, the Buddha left in his heart, and there would never be any guilt in his heart. ”
Ning Xiaotang said with a smile: "Old drunkard, having said that, such an empty person, free and easy and not confined to appearances, can be called a true monk." Otherwise, what is the difference with those ordinary monks. ”
"That's right. The old man nodded.
Ning Xiaotang said: "Then you agree to give such a pot of daughters red, right?"
"No matter how painful the flesh is, you have to give it a face, don't you have to give the empty bald donkey a face?" said the old man, "You can go to me and get the wine, anyway, I only brought a jar with me." Xiaorou and I went over first. ”
Ning Xiaotang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go over as soon as possible." ”
Immediately, the old man and the little girl left the inn.
Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Meng Haoyun had a question in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "Master, who is that old-timer just now?"
Ning Xiaotang said leisurely: "He, he is the famous wine immortal who used to be on the rivers and lakes. ”
