Chapter 42: Spring Rain on the Streets of Wuxing
"This bowl of fresh fish soup with decanting wine, Childe drank it while it was hot. Although Childe's alcohol consumption is very good, there is no harm in drinking a bowl of fish soup to warm up his stomach. Shepherd asked the shopkeeper for a bowl of hot fish soup and handed it to the young man with a smile.
The young man didn't shirk either, picked up the fish soup and tasted it, but it was almost hot, and he quickly stuck out his tongue.
After a bowl of hot soup, the young man's face was even more flushed, but most of the wine dissipated.
"Little brother, my surname is Mu, and I haven't asked the two sons' honorable names yet?" The young man hugged his fists, like a person in the rivers and lakes, and his movements were extremely stiff, and he looked a little playful.
Shepherd smiled and said: "This is really a coincidence, I am also surnamed Mu, Su Wu Shepherd's Shepherd." As for this little brother, although his surname is Ye, it is almost the same as a piece of wood. ”
Ye Li was sitting opposite without saying a word, thinking about his thoughts blankly, and his appearance was indeed a little wooden. The young man surnamed Mu looked at him, and suddenly laughed, but his voice was as crisp as a silver bell: "It seems that this is really fate." When three pieces of wood come together, it is rare to see them in ordinary times. ”
Shepherd said, "Exactly, exactly." With such fate, it is said that there should be three whites. It's just that I'm really not strong enough to drink, and Mu Gongzi's wine seems to be enough. ”
"I will not drink it today. The young man surnamed Mu looked at Ye Li again, "This Brother Ye is really good at drinking, but I don't believe it, but I want to find a time to ask for advice." ”
"That's very good. Shepherd laughed.

Liu Banting took a group of swordsmen out of the Moon Tower, only to feel that his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
He thought for a moment, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes nodding, and constantly shouting and shouting.
The swordsman next to him was surprised when he saw him like this, but he didn't dare to ask.
"Why is this little ancestor here?" Liu Banting seemed to be a little stunned, and kept talking to himself, "I don't know if he heard those words, how is this good?
muttered for a long time, but let out a long sigh, "Now I have to resign myself to fate." I just hope that over the years, his temperament has become better. ”

"The two sons came to Wuxingcheng to participate in the sword trial conference?"
Shepherd asked rhetorically, "Isn't Mu Gongzi here for this?"
Mu Gongzi shook his head, and seemed to be a little disdainful of the sword test conference, "What's so fun about the sword test conference, I have nothing to ask the Mu family." and those broken books and iron taken out by their family, this son is not rare at all.
He looked at the bottomed wine jug on the table again, "I'm just bored at home and come out to relax." I have long heard that the lake spring green of the Moon Tower is very strong, but I didn't expect it to be like this. ”
Shepherd Yang didn't seem surprised when he heard that Mu Gongzi was not very respectful to Mu Jian Villa in his words, and said with a smile: "What Gongzi said is very true. The last thing I like to see is those people fighting around, and if you want to talk about fighting, it is better to fight for wine. It's just that this Ye Gongzi has some things to ask Mujian Villa for advice. ”
"Although the sword test meeting is boring, I heard that the people of Namu Sword Villa still have a set of swords. I think Brother Ye is only the same age as me, even if he has some cultivation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take advantage of them. Mu Gongzi shook his head again, as if he was a little worried about Ye Li.
Then his eyes lit up, "It's better for Brother Ye to test the amount of wine with me, if you win me, if you have anything you want to know, maybe I can help you inquire." ”
"I'm afraid you won't be able to help with this. Ye Li sat there and finally said the first sentence. He thought to himself, even Yin Wu, Lu Qingyang and others didn't have any news about Wu Yu's disappearance, this Mu Gongzi was only about the same age as himself, how could he possibly know?
Mu Gongzi seemed to see what Ye Li was thinking, and suddenly his face changed, and his face sank, "Ye Gongzi doesn't seem to believe what I said?"
Shepherd smiled bitterly on the side: "The ancients said that wine is like character. Mu Gongzi's drinking style is so good, how can he be the one who talks about it? Mu Gongzi's kindness, we are very heartfelt. It's just that my brother is this wooden character, and he wants to try everything himself. ”
"If you insist on touching the nail, it's up to you. ”
Mu Gongzi's face suddenly turned again, "But my wine appointment with Brother Ye still has to be counted." ”
"We stayed at the Xinglong Inn in the city, waiting for Mu Gongzi at any time. ”

The weather in Jiangnan is like a girl who loves to play with sex, and her face changes when she says it.
It was still a sunny day just now, but after walking out of the Moon Tower, it began to rain in the spring.
After spending two cents of silver, he bought two oil-paper umbrellas at a street stall, and the shepherd and Ye Li held the umbrellas and walked on the streets of Wuxingcheng in the light rain.
"What is the strength of that Peach Blossom Dock's sealed white fan?" asked the shepherd as he walked.
Ye Li thought for a while, "His one was just a sneak attack, and he didn't do his best, so he was easily defused by me." I think his true cultivation should be at the peak of the five grades, and he can break through that threshold at any time and become a true cultivator. ”
Shepherd was suddenly a little worried, "In this way, isn't he better than you?" I heard that the people in Taohuawu seem to be generous, but in fact they are very ruthless. We offended him this time, but we are afraid that he will not give up so well. ”
Ye Li thought about it again, and didn't seem to agree with Ye Li's statement, "I now have some understanding of how to use a sword, so he can't beat me." ”
Shepherd's eyes lit up, "Mr. Lu's invisible sword qi, have you learned everything?"
Ye Li shook his head, "The invisible sword qi is only known to Mr. Lu, I just learned some of his sword methods." But now that I've learned these methods, as long as the other person isn't a cultivator, I can still handle it. ”
"That boy, I can't see through it. Ye Li frowned slightly, and then spoke, "He doesn't seem to have cultivated martial arts, but there is a trace of danger hidden on his body. ”
"That young man, even if he is a martial arts master, or even a cultivator, he is only worried about sealing the white fan, not us. The only thing you have to worry about is whether the amount of alcohol is as good as his?" the shepherd laughed again, his dark eyes shining brightly through the rain.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and there are already few pedestrians on the streets.
"Since you're participating in the sword trial, you should still have a sword in your hand. Turning the corner of the street, looking at the ironware shop that suddenly appeared in front of him, Shepherd turned his head and said to Ye Li.
The sword is very ordinary, it is the kind commonly used by ordinary street swordsmen, and the price of four taels of silver is also fair. Ye Li looked at the long sword with a wooden sheath in his hand, and remembered his broken sword, the sword that was lost in the fire of Dangyang City.
