Chapter 16 Wine is a thousand glasses of confidants, and you can laugh and forget songs in your life
02
The poem says:
Like a plum and a flocculent running in the air, it is not a moon or a frost in the distant village.
Since the height of the tree is the first to be white, who pity the moss and gradually fade.
The mountain is still uneven and uneven, but the water surface is turbulent but easy to muddy.
Suddenly the heat of the world, as soon as it is cold, it is frightened.
The winter in the north is not only cold and long, but also the morning is very short, and there are days of Qiongyao, dark clouds and noise, and there is no sunshine. Therefore, before the time came, the sky had darkened.
Let's say that Liu Qing was afraid of delaying the hour, so he only picked up remote shortcuts along the way. The further you go to the northwest, the more people you will meet...... But Liu Qing had an important task, so he only rushed by himself, and did not deal with them, so he didn't mention it.
After walking for about half an hour, Liu Qing finally came to the foot of Shaomu Mountain, looked up at the sky, it was already deep and dark, dotted with rare starlight. Tomorrow is a good day.
Liu Qing was tired all day, and the tea and rice did not enter, so he was naturally hungry and thirsty. Fortunately, it has arrived at Songshan, which is close to the Longmen Grottoes, so there is no need to worry.
I saw that the streets were brightly lit and full of people. The stalls are lined up one after another, the shops are full of shops, the wine shops are full, and the inns are overwhelming...... In order to attract business and set off the atmosphere, there are also shopkeepers who set off fireworks and firecrackers, and one after another brilliant colors shine through the air and shine brightly.
Exactly: the fire tree and silver flowers are together, and the iron lock of the bridge is opened.
At this moment, everyone can see in their eyes: men and women, young and old, dressed in different costumes, tall, short, fat and thin, with different decorations, and all kinds of weapons...... The dialects of all over the world are mixed together, involving a wide range, a grand scale, and a complex situation, which is really an unprecedented feast of rivers and lakes.
Liu Qing has traveled the rivers and lakes for a long time, and even traveled north from Yunnan half a year ago, visiting famous mountains and rivers, and finally arrived in Luoyang. So where has he never heard the dialect, where has he never seen the costumes? But now that he suddenly feels this situation, Liu Qing can't help but be secretly shocked: "I didn't expect that the heroic post that didn't know the details of the story would create such a momentum...... What kind of drama is this?"
At that time, Luoyang City Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, masters gathered, I really don't know how many talented people came from afar, went to the heroic event, unveiled the shocking secrets of martial arts in the Longmen Grottoes, explored the martial arts secrets of Chi Qianqiu, the first master of the rivers and lakes, and looked for the whereabouts of the treasure of the "Smoke and Rain Thief Saint" who stole the sky.
Longmen Mountain is not far from Shaomuro Mountain. What's more, who of the heroes of the world does not admire the prestige of the Shaolin faction and is eager to witness the majesty of Zhongyue Songshan? It is not surprising that it is a large-scale path to this place.
Of course, some of the friends in the rivers and lakes gathered in Luoyang at the moment are quite famous and prestigious in the martial arts, while others are obviously indiscriminate.
However, Shaolin Songshan is clean and self-conscious, does not collude with the outside world, closes the monk's door, and posts a notice: "The New Year is imminent, and the whole temple is busy with the law, holding the precepts and cultivating, and will not entertain the people in the rivers and lakes." However, the temple still accepted the people, burned incense to worship the Buddha, prayed for blessings and wishes, and gave porridge, rice and clothing to the poor who were hungry and cold, and had nowhere to return.

Liu Qing asked several inns in a row, but they were all overcrowded and there were no rooms left. Liu Qing talked to a shopkeeper and asked if he could find a vacancy in front of him, so that he could stay at the tip. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper said: "Aha, guest officer, you really asked the right person! I have been doing business at the foot of Songshan Mountain for more than ten years, and which place around me is not familiar with?" The shopkeeper was very talkative, and continued: "Originally, the end of the year was the off-season for business, and few guests frequented. But this year is very different! I heard that there is a hero conference to be held in Luoyang, and on the road leading to the Longmen Grottoes, the inn business is extremely hot, and there are no vacant rooms a few months ago......" Speaking of this, the shopkeeper grinned, as if looking forward to a grand event to be held every day, and it was always an endless deal.
Liu Qing interrupted him and told him to get straight to the point. Only then did the shopkeeper say: "Guest officer, the further you go west, the closer you get to the Longmen Grottoes, the more people there will be." Longmen Mountain is not as famous as Songshan, so the hotels over there are naturally not as good as here. There are few people in the shop, and there are no left, and there are few people there, do you think there is still a place to live?" The shopkeeper was really poor, and he could clearly say a word, but he had to beat around the bush, and listened to him continue: "I see, you will just spend the night, like them, make do with sleep." After saying that, he pointed to the floor, and saw a lot of Jianghu customers who were laying on the floor placing their luggage.
Liu Qing was helpless, and asked again: "I don't know where I can find a place to fill my stomach?" The shopkeeper thought for a while, and said with a gesture: "The location of the Zhaocai Wine Shop is remote, few people can find it, and it is estimated that there is still food to eat." Turn east here, go straight again, walk through a street, turn right, and you're there. But...... Hehe, haha, the widow boss lady there is very coquettish. Guest officer, I see that you are a little white face, and I specially remind you, don't miss her way, hehe......" The shopkeeper smiled, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he looked at Liu Qing carefully, as if he wanted to say something, but he wanted to say something.
Liu Qing ignored his nonsense, and after thanking him, he walked according to the instructions, and finally found the "Fortune Wine Shop" in a desolate place.
The owner of the Fortune Liquor Store is a widowed middle-aged woman, a, and the charm is still there, although it is not beautiful, but it also has a bit of charm. She has only one cook, a second child, and that's all, and her life is bitter and lonely. At this moment, she was dressed up in a fancy way, and she was doing business in the alley, and when she saw Liu Qing coming this way, she couldn't help but hug her, and only pulled it into the store.
Although the store of Zhaocai Liquor Store is small, it is also cleaned up, and the dishes and wine are also said to be in the past, and customers have no other choice but to eat and drink here, although the location is remote, at the moment there are only three vacant places in the dozen or so tables.
Liu Qing entered the door of the store, looked around, and there were some strong clothes and urgent clothes, and friends from the rivers and lakes with swords and swords were eating and drinking here, which was not unusual at this time. The only thing worth detailing is that in the corner sat two young men of extraordinary temperament: the one facing south, with a hairband on his head, a thin headband, with a slight white face and a slight beard, and a man of great talent, and the one sitting facing north, who did not see his face for the time being, but from behind him he was in a strong physique, and the complexion of his neck was darker. The two of them are dressed very plainly, making the "spotless" white boots and white socks very conspicuous. Two swords stacked on top of each other on the table.
Liu Qing paid attention to their "spotless soles", then sat down, asked for two side dishes, a few steamed buns, and free tea, and ate with relish.
__________________________________________________
The night erased the last rays of the sun, spread its terrifying wings, and swept the sky. The joy of the snow combined with the darkness brought about more brutal exploitation, trying to freeze all living beings in the world...... Even the sparse stars in the night sky seemed to be unable to resist the cold, and shrank their heads. Only the moon is like a slim girl, through the clouds, emitting a bright soft light, looking from afar, like a bright lamp, bringing people hope.
When will this beautiful and great ideal become a reality?
At this moment, a rush of footsteps "Tata" came, and I saw a person running into the Zhaocai wine shop in a frenzy, pounced on the shopkeeper, shook and swayed, and shouted loudly: "Wine! Drink it, wine!" The impatient look seemed that if he couldn't drink any more, he would die immediately.
The little second was dizzy by him, and just wanted to speak, but he was so smoked by the stench of this strange person that he couldn't say a word.
Everyone looked at this strange man curiously: but seeing that he was short in stature, with thick eyes, and seemed to be black from beginning to end, he could get three pounds of plaster from him if he rubbed it hard...... The unkempt appearance had not been washed for an unknown number of years, the unadorned hair was curly and long, as messy as weeds, and lice and fleas were all over the body, a tattered yellow linen garment, stained with oil, even dirtier than the cook's apron, and the stench emanating from his body was even more unbearable. At this time, if a beggar came to him, he had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, and sigh to himself.
Exactly: I don't ask myself about wine and immortals, half crazy and half crazy.
As soon as everyone glanced at the strange man, they had lost their appetite, and there was no shortage of people who hurriedly got up and fled from the liquor store.
———— how many people are willing to entangle with "crazy people"?
In the blink of an eye, the small shop has lost a big deal. The proprietress was even more furious, picked up the broom on the side and whipped at the strange man, scolding while beating: "Where do you come to be a bastard beggar, delay the old lady's business, shameless things still have to drink, people like you are only worthy of drinking horse urine!"
Liu Qing frowned, feeling that this boss lady was too wrong, and was about to come forward to stop it, but she heard the strange man shout arrogantly: "Stop!" The boss lady was also intimidated by his drink, and stood in place, forgetting for a moment that the broom was still held in the air, and she didn't know what to do.
But he saw this strange man pinching his waist with both hands, and his whole body was filled with an indescribable ease———— as if all the world's eyes and criticisms could not affect him in the slightest. Heard him proudly say: "Stinky woman, I said I wanted to drink, but when did I say I wouldn't pay?"
The proprietress glanced at him out of the corner of her eyes, and her tone was full of disdain: "With your appearance, can you afford to buy wine?" The strange man laughed loudly, uninhibited, that is, laughed out of the heat and coldness of the world, and also laughed out of the shackles of human nature! This proud laughter seems to be a kind of open-mindedness and self-confidence that will never be confined by all things in the world!
Uninhibited, live only for yourself.
As soon as the laughter fell, the strange man shook his head and sighed, sorrow came from it, and it could not be broken, as if all the sorrows in the world could not be compared with a thousand cents...... He sighed, lamented the ignorance of ordinary people, sighed, sighed the troubles of fame and fortune, sighed, sighed, sighed the uneven way of life, and strangled his wrists, and strangled his wrists for the helplessness of good and evil without retribution!
When the sigh was finished, he sang again, or took it from his bosom and spoke in a room, or because of the entrustment, he let loose his wandering form. It seems that all the previous things are nothing more than clouds, how can they affect him? Listen to him sing: "The peach blossom nunnery in the flower dock, the peach blossom fairy under the peach blossom nunnery; the peach blossom fairy planted peach trees, and picked peach blossoms and sold them for wine. When you wake up, you only sit in front of the flowers, and when you are drunk, you come to sleep with the flowers, and you wake up and get drunk day after day, and the flowers fall and bloom year after year. I hope that the old and dead will spend the wine room, and I will not bow to the front of the carriage and horses; If you compare the rich to the poor, one on the flat earth and the other to the sky, and if you compare the poor to the chariots and horses, he will drive me to be idle. People laugh at me for being crazy, I laugh at others for not being able to see through ......"
"Others laugh at me for being too crazy, and I laugh at others for not being able to see through it...... "In the end, who is he sacred? What kind of impact will the sudden appearance of this strange person have on the "grotto incident"? Who are those two young people with "extraordinary bearing"?
Exactly: a strange customer in a small shop, moody and angry. Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to know the "weird name", and look at the next decomposition.
