147 A drunken spirit relieves a thousand sorrows
Yun Jin stood by the river, looking at the lanterns floating slowly with the water on the river. The faint flame in the lantern flickered, and when the breeze passed, it seemed as if it was about to be extinguished, but it immediately came back to it.
The clear images in the memories of the past life slowly rolled up like a stream of water.
He remembered the scene of Shaoyin and him putting lanterns on the shore one day.
The scenery here is still as vague as before, and the images of happiness and laughter are vivid in my mind, but now it is so bleak. He raised his head slightly, and suddenly saw the Xihua Venerable Lord and the goddess Shaoyin on the other side of the river.
They were clad in silver under the moonlight, and they didn't know if the dazzling light was a projection of the moonlight, or if they had their own light. They squatted on the bank, Shaoyin held a lantern in her hand, she carefully put the lantern into the river, turned her face to look at Xihua, asked him something, and then came back to her senses and closed her eyes and folded her hands, as if making a wish, Lord Xihua looked at her with a smile in her eyes.
Perhaps because their temperament is too eye-catching and their appearance is too outstanding, the people who come and go around them all stop and watch intentionally or unintentionally.
They are so compatible, so happy.
Yunjin was standing on the other side, but it seemed to be in another world.
Lord Xihua raised his head slightly and saw him, and Yun Jin panicked and turned his face away.
He pretended to be passing by, and turned and walked into the crowd.
I don't know what I'm hiding, but I just want to dodge.
Sure enough, I want to see it, but there is a price, a price of heartbreak.
The night market was bustling, full of the laughter of pedestrians and the slapstick of children, but he felt like he had walked into an ice cellar. A chill enveloped him, and his feet stumbled into it as if he were walking on soft clouds.
Yun Jin was walking in the bustling crowd, and when he looked up by chance, he saw a cloth hanging not far away. There is a big word "wine" written on it.
He walked over unconsciously.
In his previous life in the mortal world, he also loved to drink, but it was all small drinks, but today, he suddenly wanted to get drunk.
It is said that a drunk relieves a thousand sorrows, which may not be unreasonable.
He walked into the restaurant slowly, and the shopkeeper saw that there were guests coming, so he hurriedly came out to greet them.
Yun Jin threw him a piece of gold, "Serve me the best wine!"
Xiao Er shook the gold in his hand, and after confirming that it was true, he smiled with a smile on his face: "Okay!
Yun Jin looked around, chose a seat on the first floor by the corner, and pointed: "That's it." ”
If you drink alone in a private room, the more you drink, the more sad you become! It might as well be accompanied by so many people here.
He walked over and sat down.
The wine soon came up, and several large jars were placed around the table.
Xiao Er respectfully poured him wine, and Yun Jin asked him to step back.
He just wants to be quiet, he won't miss her when he's drunk, and he won't be able to help but go to her.
Bowls and bowls of wine were drunk, and the liquor was hot and burning his throat, but how could this burning pain compare to the pain in his heart?
He hated himself for not being angry, hated himself for not being able to let go, how much did he pay in his previous life? In the end, what he got was a sentence: Why can't you and I understand it after tens of thousands of years in the world?
yes, why can't you figure it out?
Will she be reborn and return to ashes for her again?
Yun Jin drank bowl after bowl, and soon he was slightly drunk, and his body was shaky and couldn't hold it, so he lay on the table and continued to drink.
I don't know how long it took, his two demon guards came, one left and one right with a girl in the middle, seeing him drunk like this, the two demon guards hesitated for a while, but they still stepped forward and pushed Yunjin to wake him up, "Demon Venerable, the girl you want us to save has been rescued." ”
Yun Jin staggered and raised his head after hearing this, and saw a little girl with a yellow and thin face, a haggard face, and shabby clothes standing in front of him, and he asked, "Are you on the long street today, is there a man and a woman who want to save you?" I don't know if these two demon guards saved the right person, so I have to confirm it first.
The girl nodded, her voice trembling, "Yes...... Men and women who look like fairies ......"
She seemed to be very afraid of Yunjin, and she kept shivering when she spoke.
Yun Jin frowned: "What are you shaking?"
The girl cried, "Are you devils?" or are you monsters, are you going to eat me to save me?"
Yun Jin smiled bitterly, holding his face with his hands and squinting at her, "Aren't you better than dead in that big family?
When the girl heard this, she was so frightened that she burst into tears.
The people around Yunjin couldn't help but look over.
Looking at this posture, it seems that a hooligan grabbed a girl to bully, and everyone turned their heads and whispered.
Yun Jin lazily ignored other people's eyes, hooked the corners of his mouth and said nonchalantly: "If you cry again, cry the person who captured you, I won't save you anymore." ”
When the girl heard this, she immediately covered her mouth, but there were still tears in her eyes.
The demon guard beside her pressed her shoulder to sit down, and said, "Are you mortals sick? ”
Yun Jin glanced at him: "Who made you look so fierce and vicious? If you want to change to that fairy, even if you eat her, she is willing." He asked the girl with a sideways face, "Is it?"
The girl still covered her mouth, crying and shaking her head. I don't know if I deny Yun Jin's words, or if Yun Jin doesn't want to eat her.
Yun Jin smiled helplessly and threw out a few ingots of gold, "Oh, take this money and run away, go as far as you want, and find a good family to live a good life, this money should be enough for you to live a lifetime, right?"
Since she was saved, let's save it to the end, and by the way, help her arrange her future life.
The girl was a little surprised to see Yun Jin suddenly throwing so much gold to her, and gradually stopped crying, and looked up at Yun Jin in disbelief.
Yun Jin was a little dizzy, everything in front of him seemed to have a ghost, he was already drunk, but his mind was more or less clear, he leaned on the table with his arms on his pillow, "What do you see, don't you run away with the money?"
The girl didn't move.
The two demon guards simply took out a handkerchief, wrapped it in gold, and stuffed it into the girl's arms.
The girl blinked her teary eyes and asked, "Are you really good people?"
Yun Jin was already drowsy and didn't answer her words, and the two demon guards replied, "We are not humans, we are demons, so you hurry up." ”
The girl looked frightened, clutching the gold in her arms, and seemed to hesitate, but bowed to them anyway, turned and ran out.
The two demon guards breathed a sigh of relief, and finally completed the task.
Just looked at Yun Jin again, a little stunned, as far as they knew, the Demon Venerable didn't seem to drink much! And they came out with a mission in their bodies, why did they still focus on finding Poria in front of them, and now they are either trying to save irrelevant mortals or get drunk?
