In recent years, there have been frequent wars in Tongling City, and the post road post station outside the city is only less than 100 steps away from the adjacent official road. The official post road extends in all directions, connecting all villages and towns, and the wine shop at the fork in the road of the official post has become a rare place for people from all walks of life.

The restaurant is cool against the shade of the trees, and the tables, chairs and benches are on the side of the dirt road where cars and people come and go, so it is not difficult to see that the boss is a person who loves cleanliness. To be able to take care of such subtleties when the liquor store business is endless, how do you think that this boss should also be a strong and agile young man, but in fact, the boss who sells wine is just a lame old man who is close to his sixtieth birthday.

The old man with some inconvenient legs and feet has a single surname, which sounds very bluffing, in fact, the identity of the old man is indeed not simple, he was a fierce veteran who had been riding a horse and whipping on the battlefield, he and a young general in the army who was born and died together with each other became brothers with different surnames, repeatedly made military exploits, and treated soldiers well, which can be described as highly loved.

Later, in a breakthrough battle facing the annihilation of the whole army, his brother fought his way out of the bloody road, but in the end he could not get off the battlefield alive, and he was also pierced through his right leg by a stray arrow, and fell into the root of the inconvenience of his legs and feet. Every time the old man has rainy weather, his right leg will itch like an ant eating his bones, but he has never held back his words.

In the rough words of his good brother, the head fell off no bigger than a bowl-sized scar, and the pain was unbearable, and it was really blind to the bird in the crotch of his pants.

Huizhou has produced good wine since ancient times, and when it is famous, there are Gujing tributes and Yingjia tributes that are specially used for the imperial court; it is familiar to say that there are the most sought-after golden seed wines on the market and the mouth cellars suitable for all ages; and there are even Jiannanchun, which is highly sought after by the heroes of the rivers and lakes and the green grass to the point that a pot of ten taels of silver is not capped.

The old man who was born in Huaiyuan County, Bengbu Town, Huizhou, came to Tongling City thousands of miles after ending his career as a horseman, firstly, to avoid the increasingly fierce war, and secondly, he also had female children by his side, thinking about going to a strange place to spend the rest of his life quietly, and by the way, he would use his unborn winemaking skills to earn some gold and silver, so that the child who liked to learn his father's dancing knives and guns since he was a child would enter the more famous private school in the city earlier, and he could not let this little guy follow the old path of him and his hard-working brother. If this little guy is allowed to really practice martial arts, sooner or later he will be forcibly conscripted into the army and involved in the war.

With white bones under his command and scarlet on his halberd, only the dead can see the end of the war.

The old man pulled up this wine shop, selling not golden seeds or Kouzi Cellar, of course, it would not be the Jian Nanchun, who was known as half a cup of silver or two, he brewed the most famous pomegranate wine from Huaiyuan County.

The old man has outstanding skills, but since he wants to find a corner of peace outside Tongling City, the requirements are naturally quite strict. Pomegranates are only selected from the Kunlun Mountain, the fruit grains are full and clear, and the Hetian pomegranates are peeled off one by one and can not be wet, and they are sealed in the jar with rock sugar and spirits and stored in the deep cellar, and they are opened every few days and stirred to accelerate the dissolution of rock sugar.

Over time, the color of the pomegranate juice will gradually melt into the wine and sugar water, the color will be bright red and clear, like a ruby in the sun, and the color of the pomegranate wine will become more attractive with the longer it is stored.

This unique pomegranate wine did not make much of a splash at first, after all, the heroes who traveled from south to north liked the spicy liquor, and they were not so interested in pomegranate wine that could not highlight their heroic temperament. But one day, a certain woman with some status in the worldly rivers and lakes settled here before entering the city, and after seeing the hunting heart, after drinking a glass of pomegranate wine, she was suddenly shocked.

Later, the woman inadvertently mentioned this wine shop several times, and the fame of this "pomegranate wine outside Tongling City" started on the small rivers and lakes, and many women came and went happily.

The old man is not the black merchant who has been blinded by lard, and no matter how good his business is, he will never add half a drop of water to the wine, so he has to gradually become a limited supply.

Even in his small cellar, he really can't hide a few jars of good wine now.

The business of the wine shop is getting better, and the old man is naturally a little busy alone, so he asked the woman who lived here with him to help take care of it. This virtuous woman was none other than the widow of his young brother.

Her husband died heroically in the breakout battle in Huaiyuan County, and the army system was completely crippled and abolished, the former Mrs. Jiangmen was reduced to grass mustard overnight, and her in-laws with heart disease also died after hearing the bad news, which made this woman from a poor family even worse. Fortunately, in addition to her grief, she had a keen intuition, rushed before the city was broken, and fled here overnight with her son, who was still in infancy and couldn't even wait for his father to name him, and bumped into an old man surnamed Rong who wanted to return to the field after the defeat outside the city gate.

The old man knew that the life of a woman in the troubled times was like a mustard, and he couldn't bear to see his brother die after even the incense was ruthlessly cut off by God, so he resolutely took the displaced woman and baby to Tongling.

Now nearly ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the baby in the swaddling clothes has now grown up and sensible, studying hard, and the widow of Jiangmen, who was only worthy of two decades, has also reached the age of a woman, and the old man has always called her Nianqin sister.

Unfortunately, this morning, as soon as the old man asked the woman to take a hand, he caught up with a group of military masters with bright armor drinking and making trouble. They saw that Nian Qin had a good appearance, and she had a temperament that ordinary and beautiful village women did not have, so they lied to the general's mansion in the city to recruit people who were good at female celebrities, and took advantage of the woman's wine to serve the table.

Where can the old man, who was once a fierce general on horseback, endure it, and he will teach this group of undisciplined generals a lesson, how can the old man be old, his legs and feet are not dexterous, and he has been negligent in fighting and killing for decades, and he was put down in a face.

Among the other drinkers, there are many well-meaning rangers, but they are really powerless in the face of the court and even the military department. And the old man saw that his younger brothers and sisters were about to be taken away by the gang of gentlemen and soldiers, and a seven-foot-tall man passed by the wine shop, without saying a word, he directly took action to rectify the gang of soldiers who were not soldiers and bandits, and in the cruel words released by the soldiers mixed with wailing, they did not just want to have a good time, but sat directly in the wine shop, as if they wanted to take this matter to the end.

After the old man finished dealing with a table of drinkers, he took out the pomegranate wine that he had treasured for about ten years, this kind of rare goods that were in the old age were far from being comparable to ordinary Jiannanchun, and half a cup of silver or two could only be regarded as the return price. But in the eyes of the old man, it is far less than the kindness of this heroic man. This wine does not charge any money!

The old man sat opposite the seven-foot man, poured the wine to the brim, and the rich aroma of the wine attracted other drinkers to turn back frequently, the old man smiled and arched his hand: "Thank you so much for this good man's righteous action, if it weren't for you, my hard-working brother and sister would be innocent." Dare to ask what a good man is called?"

The seven-foot man looked at the busy woman figure in the wine shop, took a sip of red pomegranate wine, and said, "My surname is Lin, you can call me Brother Lin." ”

The old man's face was in a trance for a moment, Brother Lin, what a familiar name.

The man surnamed Lin, who is extraordinary, is a little different from other heroes who roam the rivers and lakes, and he seems to know very well the authentic way to drink this pomegranate wine. First, hold the wine glass between two fingers and press the glass on the table to rotate like grinding ink. The old man thought that the good man must have been very strong, for he saw that the wine glass was barely swirling, and the juice in it swirled in a whirlpool. The man raised his glass and took a sip, and did not swallow it directly as if it seemed heroic, but let the wine stay in his mouth for a while before swallowing it slowly.

The man smiled slightly, "It's really good wine." ”

The old man asked the man where he was from, but he never thought that this man who had made a righteous move was really a fellow countryman! The old man was really a little happy today, and he knew nothing more than this when he met in a foreign country. Seeing that this man's eyes kept falling on the woman shuttling in the wine shop, the old man couldn't help but cough lightly twice and said: "Brother Lin, I won't tell you, this Nianqin sister is my brother's wife, just because my brother left early, she has no intention of remarrying, just take a look, don't be careful." ”

The man nodded and said, "I heard that she still has a child?"

Speaking of children, the old man who had no children and grandchildren under his knees smiled and said: "Lin Ping'an's child is really smart, since he entered the private school in the city to read and write, he can speak well, and he can write well." Look at the wine words on my trick, it was written by the little guy, although it is a little crooked, but it looks comfortable!"

"Is Lin Ping'an? Ping'an'an, that's a really good name. ”

The corners of the man's mouth were inexplicably warm, and he looked in the direction of Tongling City in the distance, and his eyes seemed to pass over the heavily walled houses, and fell on the child named Lin Ping'an in the private school. The little guy was practicing calligraphy, but at this moment, he raised his head as if he had a heart, looked in the direction of the wine shop outside Tongling City, and smiled sweetly.

The seven-foot man rubbed his eyes, "It's a big wind and sand today." ”

The man surnamed Lin shook his wine glass, drank the remaining pomegranate wine, and asked, "Why didn't Brother Er think about begging Mrs. Fang again?"

The old man who could brew a mellow pomegranate wine on horseback waved his hand, for some reason, he always felt that the bold man with the same surname as his dead brother in front of him hit it off at first sight, and said with a wry smile: "This person is too old to do it, let alone this leg, it is estimated that he can't do that thing on the bed." I simply don't think about the spread of incense. Besides, Sister Nianqin and Ping'an are not familiar with this kid in this life, if I marry a wife, how should his mother and son deal with it? So Brother Lin, at my age, to be honest, I would have lived enough, if it wasn't for my brother who sacrificed his life to fight a bloody path for me in the heavy siege, I would be just an ordinary white bone on the battlefield. For the rest of the time, make more money and save some gold and silver for Lin Ping'an's kid, he can't let him have a favorite girl one day, but he can't marry home because he is shy in his pocket. If time permits, make more pomegranate wine to see if you can save more money and buy a house with a small courtyard for the two of them in Tongling City. In this way, when I am in the ground, I will also have the face to face my brother. ”

The old man stroked the tables and chairs that had been carefully wiped clean by him, and said softly: "I have galloped on the battlefield for most of my life, and these tables, chairs and benches that I carved with my own hands are like the bright armor that accompanied me back then, there is hatred and love, and I can't forget it." ”

The seven-foot man who was blinded by the wind and sand was silent for a long time, looked up at the sky and said, "Your brother can have a big brother like you, it's time to look at it." ”

The post road was dusty, and the seed brother who fled in embarrassment before went and returned.

The old man who had been a fierce general trembled with anger, and the man signaled that he didn't have to worry, and the moment he stood up, all the drinkers in the wine shop only felt that their hearts sank, as if there was an insurmountable mountain in front of them.

The woman named Nian Qin in the wine shop looked at the man's broad shoulders with his back to her, and her heart trembled inexplicably, and tears flowed uncontrollably for some reason.

The man's eyes were as cold as Shura, and when he raised his fist and was about to send these seed brothers who didn't know how many eyes of the prince of Ma were to go to the underworld, a man with a slightly thinner body than him suddenly jumped out of his sight and walked up the post road. The faces of the horse's hooves were like thunder, and they didn't care about human life at all, pulling the reins obliquely, and the war horse weighing a thousand catties neighed its front hooves, and raised it high to the man on the post road, and the people on both sides of the post road were shocked.

But the next scene made the eyes of everyone around him widen, and the thin man with an ordinary appearance was still expressionless in the face of the deliberate horse attack of the seed brother, and only turned his shoulder and broke the neck of the war horse with a slap on the iron mountain, knocking the knight who didn't even react to what was happening out of the air. The thin man's sleeves swelled, and the majestic qi machine rushed out of the majestic momentum of the tide hitting the shore on the wide post road, and with only one wave of his hands, he threw out more than a dozen horsemen and horses in front of him!

A few people walking around the rivers and lakes with vicious eyesight suddenly opened their mouths wide, looking at the majestic atmosphere of this majestic qi machine, it no longer belongs to the category of internal force, but it is actually a cultivator!

Although the brain is stupid but not hopelessly stupid, the seed brothers also know what kind of iron plate they have kicked on, and they suddenly dare not have the slightest idea about the good-looking half-old in the wine shop, and sneak back to the city with a disgraced face.

The thin man shook his hand, not knowing what kind of tall image his casual act of sweeping the garbage had left in the eyes of the people in the surrounding rivers and lakes, and walked straight to the silent wine shop next to the post road, and sat next to the man surnamed Lin. As the owner of the wine shop, the old man only felt that today was really an auspicious day, so he hurriedly poured a glass of pomegranate wine from the old cellar for this strong man, and continued to work after thanking him.

The thin man with a somewhat dark face took a sip of pomegranate wine, frowned, looked at the man surnamed Lin who was sitting down in front of him again, his brows deepened, and he took the lead in asking, "Have you finished solving all the things in your hands?"

The two actually knew each other.

The man surnamed Lin turned his head to look at the graceful woman with shallow tears in the corners of his eyes peeking at their table from time to time, and the thin man followed his gaze and asked, "Is it her?"

The man surnamed Lin said hoarsely: "It's her." ”

The thin man squinted and said, "Then why don't you recognize each other?"

The man surnamed Lin picked up the wine glass and wanted to drink, only to find that the wine glass was empty, and said bitterly: "I owed her too much back then, and I couldn't even take care of her when the child was born." I just want to see if she and her son are doing well now, and whether they are bullied. I thought about it for a long, long time, maybe such a peaceful life was really suitable for her. ”

The thin man sneered: "Lin Changfeng, you are really a girl!"

Lin Changfeng, who was the leader of the Xiaoying camp of the Cave Secret Division, sighed hard, looked at Yan Kun opposite, and asked hoarsely, "Why did you think about coming to me first?"

Yan Kun, who has never been smiling, took another sip of the wine, squinted and said: "Sister Shaohua used to be a concubine in the palace, and now ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, the dynasty has already changed the dynasty, she has never been married and naturally has no heirs, just revisiting the old place; And I had no relatives in my previous life, so I had no worries, and I had made a vow to follow adults in this life. And you are the most variable, so I came over to see if you were planning to betray your lordship. If so, I'll rip your head off right now. Don't forget that the reason why we can return to the world today is because of whom!"

Lin Changfeng stopped talking about him, got up and shouted, "Brother Er, settle the bill!"

The old man beckoned Nian Qin to come over, pushed back the silver ingot in Lin Changfeng's hand, and resolutely refused to accept the wine money, and a warm spiritual power that could ensure his longevity for a hundred years flowed through the meridians along his palm, and the old man suddenly felt that the injured leg was suddenly much sharper, thinking that it was the Bodhisattva who had appeared.

Lin Changfeng looked at Nian Qin on the side, he smiled slightly, and she laughed too.

A pair of strange combinations walked in the distance of the post road, a woman with a graceful figure in red silk was on the left, and an old man with gorgeous hair but good spirit was on the right, standing far away beside the post road, as if waiting for someone. Yan Kun glanced at Lin Changfeng and greeted him first.

Lin Changfeng planted a blessing aura in Nian Qin's body through the air, which could keep her safe for the rest of her life, and another aura broke through the air and went straight into Tongling City, submerging into his son in the private school.

Lin Ping'an, you have to remember that peace and security is the greatest blessing.

The man with tears in his eyes turned to leave the wine shop, and she cried too.

In the distance, a tall woman who had liked red all her life beckoned to him, an old man with gorgeous hair smiled at him, and Yan Kun, who had been born and died in the Yellow Spring Realm together, waved his hand impatiently.

Lin Changfeng finally said: "Brother Erxiong, let's leave it at that. ”

The old man who only mentioned his surname to others and did not say his name suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning, and Huo Ran turned around.

The outside of the liquor store was empty.
