Chapter 457: A Thousand Years at a Glance (Part I)
The world shines brightly
Located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the capital city is close to the hinterland of the Three Gorges, and there are countless Taoist temples in the high mountains and deep valleys. After surviving the rain and autumn coolness, the city ushered in the first harvest snow of winter.
There is a Xudu Mountain outside the city, and there is a poor Taoist temple on the mountain that repairs an incense and is so-so, and there are only two Taoist priests, one old and one young. It stands to reason that if you put this ghost weather covered with heavy snow on the mountain road in normal times, you would want to see a big living person during the day, but a few roadside wine shops at the foot of the mountain can be said to be prosperous.
As far as the eye can see, most of the people who have settled down are some reckless people who eat meat and drink a lot, and there are also some rich children wearing silk and holding fans, and there are even a few long swords hanging on tassels that seem to be worth a lot of money on one or two tables. People with a little eyesight can see that these handsome young men with swords have the way to go, that is, the living immortals in the mouths of the rivers and lakes, so that these "sword immortals" who have actually cultivated to only the foundation realm are quite eye-catching in the wine shop, and there are still a few empty seats around them, and no heroic man dares to go to the gods to break ground.
No matter how you look at it, these people have nothing to do with worshipping ghosts and gods, and the reason why these people who mix dragons and snakes gather here is because it is rumored that there are two fairies who are so beautiful that they can overwhelm mountains and rivers on the mountain of Xudu.
"Don't you know that recently, the storytellers in every restaurant in the city are talking about the two fairies entering the mountains in the snow. ”
A burly man with a knife on his waist who looked a little capable put down the wine bowl in his hand with a bang, and said with a big grin: "Those storytellers' mouths are really tight, and when they talk about those two women, aren't they just boasting like fairies? But after listening to the storyteller's chatter for a while, although I couldn't understand a few words, but that is to say, my heart was itchy, our family put the knife on the storyteller's neck, and immediately said happily that the fairy was on the Xudu Mountain, and I kept coming over to see with my own eyes, what kind of fairy can hook the soul so much, if it is really pleasing to the eye, I will rob the two fairies and go back to the hot kang head!"
There are all men inside and outside the wine shop, except for the proprietress of the shop, and this topic about the two fairies is thrown out by the three knives, it is like hot oil in the pot, and the atmosphere inside and outside the wine shop is suddenly hot, and even the children of the fairy family at the table are not exempt from vulgarity.
The proprietress of the wine shop with a good business is in good spirits on happy occasions, look at this lively and New Year-like posture, if the account is less than a double-digit broken silver, she is blind, she twists the delicate waist of a young woman and carries the wine and cut cooked food between the men, and does not care about the greedy eyes that can't wait to rip off a few taels of meat from her full breasts.
Several regular customers laughed while looking at the plump figure of the proprietress , most of the women floating through the rivers and lakes are heroic and not inferior to men, touching hands around the waist is commonplace, when delivering wine, the eye-catching buttocks under her waist shaped like a peach will inevitably be rubbed a few times. But as long as it's not too excessive, the proprietress won't turn her face. If a woman can't even learn these things in the rivers and lakes, then don't think about getting out of the way.
If you hire a few more uneasy guys like her, it is estimated that you will not be able to earn back the capital in this life. The reason why she dared to open a wine shop in this wild place where there was no village or store in front of her, in addition to the idea of wanting to be a proprietor, most of the reason was because she was also a bold woman who had made a name for herself in the rivers and lakes when she was young.
The rivers and lakes and the world of cultivating immortals seem to be two parallel lines that will never intersect, but they also have different differences, that is, in the world where men are in power today, if you want to make a great reputation as a woman, the road you have traveled is always more bumpy than others.
When the proprietress was young, she did not rely on the posture and figure of the Oiran to win, but she used her strong wrists to find a foothold in the huge rivers and lakes, and there were no people in the rivers and lakes who did not know her within a radius of hundreds of miles from the capital city.
After she washed her hands in the golden basin, she opened an inconspicuous wine shop at the foot of Xudu Mountain, and with the deliberate help and dotting of several old friends, the number of repeat customers gradually increased, and some even came from dozens of miles away just to chat with her, and the business of the wine shop was finally on the right track, and there were signs of prosperity. Judging from the few rouge gouaches on the dresser in her room, which are not cheap, not to mention whether it is enough for her to marry and have children in the future, at least she is living a very comfortable life for now.
Hearing the men talking about the two young fairies who had gone into the mountains in the snow earlier, their faces were filled with the excitement of a glimpse of a woman's spring. The proprietress was amused in her heart, but she didn't tell these big and rough people who were full of women that she had met those two women who were indeed as beautiful as fairies, and even said a few words, in this wine shop.
The proprietress asked herself, she had never seen such an unstained woman in her life, and as soon as she appeared, they were two, no matter how you looked at it, they should be from the fairy family. It happened to be the first snow of winter, and it was bright and bright, and before the night was cold and snowing, every household got up later than usual, let alone the wine shops in the wilderness.
Although the two women are beautiful, they seem to have lost their souls, and the proprietress still remembers it clearly, especially the eyes of the woman in the white fox fur, which are full of traces of heartbreak, so that she can't help but tremble when she sees the wind and rain in the rivers and lakes.
What did this beautiful woman who made her slightly jealous go through to have such a grief to the extreme?
The proprietress hurriedly warmed a pot of the most cold-dispelling wine and handed it to the two, and the white fox woman hugged the woman beside her with a sea blue silk but also a sad face, and asked in a trembling voice: "Boss, in your life, if the man who looks like you suddenly disappears one day and is gone, will you wait for him forever?"
The proprietress hurriedly waved her hand and said crampedly: "Two girls, don't look at me as a half-old, and I haven't married yet, this is not good." ”
The white fox fur woman's eyebrows, which had just been warmed by the wine, dimmed again.
The proprietress who had just gotten up and had a bit of a mushy brain finally came back to her senses at this moment, and couldn't help but want to slap herself in the mouth, and hurriedly said: "But if I really get to the field where my husband and son are taught, my own man will definitely have to wait." It doesn't matter where he goes, what he's going to go for, or maybe he'll be gone for a long time, but no matter what, this will always be his home, and one day he'll come back. ”
The white fox fur woman's eyebrows gradually became warm.
The proprietress mustered up the courage to wrap the white fox fur on the body of this woman who was born in an immortal family, poured a cup of steaming rice wine, and continued: "My mother has read some books before, and she has told me since she was a child that the relationship between men and women can also be roughly divided into three realms like those immortals. The first is that last night, the west wind withered the green trees, went up to the tall building alone, and looked at the end of the world; this second realm is that the clothes and belts are gradually widened and do not regret it, and people are haggard for Yixiao; and this last realm is that the people are looking for him thousands of times, and suddenly look back, but the person is in the lamplight. ”
From the tone of the words, it is not difficult to figure out that the proprietress should have experienced a love that was almost fruitless before, and she smiled bitterly: "I have never had the opportunity to read poetry and books like my mother, so even at the age of a half-old, I have not been able to chew out the meaning of these words." It's just that my mother talks a lot, so I remember that the melon is ripe, and if these words can help the two girls, it will be the best.
The proprietress continued: "But anyway, I still have something that I have realized after so many years, and I want to give it to the two girls. ”
The woman with white fox fur and the woman with blue hair looked up.
"It is not because we see hope that we persevere, but because we persevere, we can see hope. I thought that love was like that. The proprietress said from the bottom of her heart.
The white fox Qiu woman was speechless for a long time, and it was not until the snowflakes piled her into a snowman that she shook off the snowflakes on her body, stood up and prepared to leave. The proprietress breathed a sigh of relief, because she saw that there was an emotion called determination in the eyes of the two women.
"Thank you. ”
A warm thank you sounded faintly in the ears of the proprietress, and the proprietress trembled all over, only to find that the two women who had not walked a few steps disappeared out of thin air, and then lowered their heads, and a full weight of gold ingots was placed next to the wine bowl.
