Chapter 40: Bamboo Wine
In nearly a month, Zhou Jinyu's injuries have basically healed under the effect of the unique gold sore medicine of the Miao nationality prepared by Lin Leier. As for the scars on his body, for Zhou Jinyu, they are nothing at all. It's just that whenever Zhou Jinyu thinks of Lan Yaqiu, his heart still hurts, like being pricked by a needle.
Zhou Jinyu didn't know the news of his cousin Yin Yimeng's death yet, but he was also worried now, because his sword was stolen by Ouyang Yuting, and he couldn't do anything about it.
'Cadre' is the only thing Zhou Qingcang left to Zhou Jinyu, and now that this only thing is gone, Zhou Jinyu can't help but feel a little sad.
The Zeng brothers had nothing to do, and they ate and drank well at Wu Hongwen's house for a few days, saying that they were going to find Na Yelu Hanyan to take revenge, so they traveled around. Zhou Jinyu has been living in Wu Hongwen's house, and Lin Leier also stayed in order to heal Zhou Jinyu's injuries.
Wu Hongwen's home is like a garden, beautiful and quiet, a natural place for recuperation, so Zhou Jinyu's injury healed quickly.
On this day, Zhou Jinyu was walking alone in the bamboo forest behind the east guest room, when she suddenly heard someone coming behind her, and the hearty voice was Wu Hongwen, the current leader of the beggar gang: "Brother Xian, how is the injury?"
Zhou Jinyu hurriedly turned around and said, "I've recovered, Gang Master Wu takes such good care of my little brother, I really don't know how to repay him." ”
Wu Hongwen said with a smile: "Hahaha, the virtuous brother is always so polite, what else can you talk to me about in return?"
Zhou Jinyu said: "It's been too long to harass my brother's house, and I feel uneasy. ”
Wu Hongwen said: "Hahaha, don't talk about this, it should be endless, I'm really stuffy at home, why don't we go out and drink?"
Zhou Jinyu hadn't drunk for a long time, and he had long wanted to drink it happily to dissipate the sullenness in his heart, so he happily agreed: "I also have this intention, and I have long wanted to have a good drink with my brother!"
Wu Hong asked and smiled: "Haha, I drank the wine happily in Taiyuan, and today I am only allowed to be more than that, not less than that!"
The two reached a tacit understanding in an instant, turned around and left.
"Ding Ding Dong Dong" is the sound of silver jewelry colliding, and Lin Leier followed at some point.
Lin Lei'er feigned anger and said: "Hmph, wow, I don't care for my body, I really regret saving you." ”
Zhou Jinyu apologized: "Sister Lei'er, don't be angry, my brother's injury has healed." ”
Lin Leier said: "If you drink, you won't be cured!"
Wu Hongwen smiled: "Hahaha, doesn't Sister Lei'er regret saving him?"
Lin Lei'er said: "I really regret wasting those herbs and insects." ”
Wu Hongwen said: "Then I have a way." ”
Lin Lei'er asked, "What's the solution?"
Wu Hongwen said: "Sister Lei'er is going to drink with us, you just put some poisonous insects in that wine and tell him to drink it." ”
Lin Lei'er laughed out loud: "Hahaha, aren't you also poisoned?"
Wu Hongwen said: "If you are poisoned, you will be poisoned, and it will be in vain to be able to drink with my brother before you die." ”
Zhou Jinyu also echoed: "Yes, today is really to poison Sister Lei'er, and I have no complaints." ”
Lin Lei'er said: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
Zhou Jinyu and Wu Hongwen even coaxed and deceived Lin Leier to the tavern together, Zhou Jinyu's mood has not been so relaxed for a long time.
The three of them sat down around the Eight Immortals table, Zhou Jinyu and Wu Hongwen sat opposite each other, and Lin Leier sat aside.
While chatting, I saw the shopkeeper holding a large bundle of bamboo and resting it on the table, the bamboo knots were very thick, and the inside seemed to be full of things.
Zhou Jinyu was a little dazed and asked, "Let's drink, but what is this store doing with a bundle of bamboo?"
Wu Hongwen laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha, I forgot to explain to Brother Xian, this is our 'bamboo wine' in Jiangnan, the wine is in the bamboo, Brother Xian, come and taste it." ”
Wu Hongwen opened a piece of bamboo stopper, and suddenly felt that the bamboo fragrance was elegant, refreshing and pure.
Wu Hongwen said: "Brother Xian come and try it first!"
Zhou Jinyu took a piece of bamboo, looked at the amber bamboo wine inside, tasted a small sip, only felt sweet and mellow, comfortable and refreshing, and couldn't help but say: "Good wine!"
Wu Hongwen said with a smile: "Hahaha, if you have good wine, you have to drink it!" As he spoke, he opened two more sections of bamboo wine and gave one to Lin Leier.
Wu Hongwen raised the bamboo wine and said: "If you don't get drunk today, you won't return, do it first as respect!"
Before the words fell, I saw Lin Lei'er's fingers flicking, the technique was subtle and ingenious, and a few dark yellow insects flew into the bamboo tubes of Zhou Jinyu and Wu Hongwen impartially.
Wu Hongwen said: "Sister Lei'er, isn't she really going to kill us?"
The corners of Lin Lei'er's mouth rose, she smiled slightly, her mouth was like a quiet crescent moon, and said, "Isn't it true that Gang Master Wu doesn't dare to drink it?"
Zhou Jinyu said: "Sister Lei'er, we all know that your bugs are powerful, this is no joke, what kind of bug is this?"
Wu Hongwen waved his hand and said, "Don't say it, I'll drink it now, so as not to make Sister Lei'er laugh" After saying that, he even drank the worm and the wine!
Lin Lei'er asked, "How does it taste?"
Wu Hongwen said: "I only know that it is good wine, and I really didn't chew those worms, so I don't know the taste." ”
Lin Leiren admired Wu Hongwen's courage and asked, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
Wu Hongwen said with a smile: "Hahaha, if people can't be happy when they are alive, it is better to die." ”
Lin Lei'er said: "Brother Jinyu would be like you, why is he frowning every day?"
Zhou Jinyu said: "The heroic spirit of Gang Master Wu is not something that we ordinary people can have, so it seems that the vision of the 'chess king' is really blocked." ”
Wu Hongwen said: "Brother Xian has won the award, you can make yourself happy, but you have restrained yourself." ”
Zhou Jinyu shook her head and said, "It's hard for me..."
Wu Hongwen saw that Zhou Jinyu was depressed, so he tried to change the topic and asked Lin Lei'er: "Sister Lei'er, can you tell me what poison you gave us? ”
Lin Lei'er "giggled" a few times and said, "How could I harm you, you are all good people, the bug just now is Cordyceps." ”
Wu Hongwen asked, "Is it grass or insects?"
Lin Leier said: "It's insects in summer, and grass in winter." ”
Wu Hongwen said: "There are still such strange things in the world?
Lin Lei'er said: "The insect just now is dead, you can't catch it here, you have to go to a place with alpine meadows to catch it, this kind of insect is a big supplement, don't you thank me?"
Wu Hongwen hurriedly said: "Thank you Sister Lei'er so much!"
Zhou Jinyu drank this Jiangnan bamboo wine for the first time, and she was a little upset. The so-called wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk, and after three rounds of drinking, Zhou Jinyu actually became melancholy.
Zhou Jinyu drank all the wine in the bamboo tube and said: "Parents still have a place to come from in life, and parents have only the way back to life." ”
Lin Lei'er asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you, how did you start writing poems?"
Zhou Jinyu sighed and said, "Alas... After so long, I have not avenged my great revenge, but I have lost the sword that my father left me. ”
Wu Hongwen said: "I really didn't see that Ouyang Yuting was such a despicable villain. ”
Zhou Jinyu said: "He may also have difficulties. ”
Lin Lei'er said: "Brother, you are too kind, you only know how to think about others, if I see him again, I will have to throw some leeches on him and suck his blood dry." ”
Zhou Jinyu didn't know what a leech was, but he didn't bother to ask, just waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary." ”
Wu Hongwen said: "The children of the beggar gang are all over the world, I have already instructed them to go down, once there is news of Ouyang Yuting, let them come back and tell me immediately." ”
Lin Lei'er glanced at her eyes and said, "Brag!"
Zhou Jinyu said: "Thank you, brother." ”
Wu Hongwen said again: "I persuaded my brother to come to Suzhou at the beginning, and I can't ignore this matter. ”
Lin Lei'er said: "Didn't you say that there are many swords in Suzhou?
Wu Hongwen said: "I was about to talk about this, the Jinyu brothers originally came to Suzhou to find a sword. ”
Zhou Jinyu said: "The world is so big, even if the 'Mo Evil' sword is really in Suzhou, where should we go to find it?"
Wu Hongwen said: "I have a place to go. ”
Zhou Jinyu asked, "Where?"
Wu Hongwen smiled slightly and said, "I wonder if Brother Xian has ever heard of the 'ghost market'?"
