Chapter Ninety-Six: The Drinker and the Horse Buyer

If the sky does not love wine, the wine star is not in the sky.

If the earth does not love wine, there shall be no fountain of wine on the earth.

Heaven and earth love wine, and love wine is worthy of heaven.

I have heard that it is more than a saint, and it is as virtuous as a sage.

Since the sages have already drunk, why bother to ask the gods.

Three cups lead to the avenue, and one bucket is natural.

But if you have fun in wine, don't pass it on to the awake.

This poem is from Li Bai's solo drinking under the moon, and it is also a "love wine debate".

At the beginning, it starts with the "love of wine" in heaven and earth, and then comes to the conclusion that "heaven and earth love wine, and love wine is worthy of heaven". Finally, the drinking is raised to the highest level: it leads to the avenue, conforms to nature, and the taste of wine is ineffable. "Fun in wine" is precisely this kind of indescribable feeling.

Twelve miles from the east gate of the source city, there is a small town, and there is a famous inn in the small town. The town is also named after the inn.

At the time of the Shikoku War, the Emperor of Kitahara fought here, and the scorching sun spread throughout the small town. The emperor and the soldiers of the northern plains could not help but feel refreshed when they smelled the wine, and immediately rushed to the inn that was empty at that time, and drank all the wine in the inn, but the wine was too much but not intoxicating, but made people energetic, and the northern plains won this battle, and future generations will say that this victory was because of the reason for the drunken wine.

After winning the victory, the emperor returned to the inn, ordered someone to rebuild it, found the innkeeper, and personally named it - Huguo Tavern. And this small town is also named Huguo Town.

――

It was already evening, and the villagers who had come to the market were carrying their own burdens and carrying baskets, and many people had come to this Huguo Tavern to buy some wine and drink good luck.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded faintly in the northeast corner. The sound of hooves is approaching, although the sound is loud, it is a man and a horse, the hooves are galloping, and the rider is galloping.

Everyone looked at each other, and one of them said, "It's probably that the little master has come to drink." ”

Some of them correspondingly said: "These rich people really have something to drink, but I'm afraid that when he comes, we will have to go out." ”

"Be quiet, someone is coming. Then another man saw the man dismount, came over, and immediately said.

Everyone looked carefully, and saw that the young man was dressed in ordinary clothes, about eighteen, and the most special thing was the rusty scimitar pinned to his waist.

However, the boy was born handsome, but no matter how you look at it, you can't see that there is anything on his body that exudes the breath of a rich family, but everyone knows that the horse must be a good horse, and how can this be a good horse is not worthy of a hero.

The young man's eyes were bright, and he walked into the tavern without looking at anyone.

found a place to sit down, and when the shopkeeper saw it, he immediately ran over, bowed down and asked, "Childe is sharpened or does he live in the store?"

The young man said coldly: "Twenty catties of wine." ”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper was slightly stunned, felt as if he had heard it wrong, and asked, "What did the son say about twenty catties?"

The boy didn't reply, just nodded.

The shopkeeper saw that the boy was also eighteen years old, how could he drink so much wine, so he wanted to persuade: "Childe, although the wine in our store is rumored to love wine and not get drunk, but Childe is twenty pounds at a time, I am afraid of ......"

"Take it. The boy said impatiently.

When others saw the young man, they all wanted to stay and watch the excitement.

Some even quietly told passers-by outside that the Huguo Tavern was full of people for a while.

The shopkeeper had no choice but to persuade him, so he had to bring twenty catties of wine, and everyone also watched with wide eyes as the young man drank twenty catties of wine.

The boy picked up one of the jars, smelled the wine, a smile crossed the corner of his mouth, opened the lid of the altar, and for a while the smell of wine came to his nose, refreshing people's hearts, "Gurgling" The boy raised the wine jar without saying a word, and after a while, a jar of wine was drunk by the teenager.

At this time, someone on the side whispered and said: "What kind of wine lover should I be, it turns out that I am also a person who does not understand wine, and I can drink a jar of wine in one breath like swallowing dates." ”

As soon as the man said this, the crowd echoed him, but the young man ignored it, and then went to the second altar, and then to the third altar......

When the boy drank only one jar left, the whistles had stopped, and a tavern of 100 people was silent, and even the breathing of everyone was desperately suppressed to prevent the slightest sound.

Everyone held their breath and heard the sound of a man's boots coming from the west along the street.

The man walked very slowly, and the sound of heavy footsteps was like stepping on everyone's heart.

The footsteps approached, and just as the sun was setting, a long figure was reflected in the street, slowly approaching with the footsteps.

Everyone on the street seemed to be stunned, and the sound of leather boots sounded outside the tavern, and suddenly stopped, and the man looked the young man in the hall up and down, and suddenly sneered three times with "hey, hey, hey".

At this time, the young man also drank the last jar of wine, and slowly raised his head, only to see that the person in front of him was extremely tall, and his face was as bumpy as orange peel, full of pimples.

The young man asked coldly, "Are you here to buy horses?"

As he spoke, he called the shopkeeper and asked for ten catties of wine, and everyone was surprised by the tall man at the door, and they were surprised by the amount of wine that the young man had.

The tall man sneered again, and said, "Add ten pounds!" As he spoke, he walked into the tavern step by step, as if to collapse the tavern, until he sat on the side of the young man, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The young man closed his eyes and said, "Your Excellency wants to have a few drinks with me!"

The tall man raised his eyebrows, and said angrily, "I can't ask for it!" and suddenly threw the wine jar at the young man.

The young man did not panic and slowly turned his head to the side, and the wine jar brushed past his face, and with a bang, it smashed on the counter, and the ground "clicked" and shattered.

At the same time as the tall man threw the baked cake, he immediately withdrew a pair of double knives from his waist, the tip of the knife reflected the setting sun, and the cold air of the Blue Seal Hindi was overwhelming.

The young man said coldly: "Before the wine arrives, Your Excellency can't bear it?"

The tall man said, "Before the wine arrives, I want to have one more appetizer." ”

The young man sneered: "Your Excellency said the same, but I don't like to eat this appetizer, so I don't know if Your Excellency can eat it." ”

The tall man shouted angrily: "You can eat it, you don't have to eat it!

The young man's face changed slightly, the muscles on his left cheek twitched a few times, and then he looked like he was ignoring it again, and said, "My life is not so easy to take?"

The tall man scolded: "Try it to know!" As soon as the words fell, the left knife together, a move 'Shadow of Sword Light', hooked down on the young man's left shoulder.

The boy flashed slightly to the right, the tall man's left knife missed, and his wrist immediately hooked inward, dragging back the blade, and then hooked towards the back of the boy's heart.

The boy kicked away from the chair with his back foot, ducked away, and kicked out with his right foot, kicking it on the wooden table. A table full of wine jars flew towards the tall man.

The tall man was taken aback, and hurriedly jumped back, avoiding the wine jar in front, but could not avoid the wine jar behind, and in desperation, the tall man could only break the wine jar with his bare hands, only to see that his fist was stained red with blood.

The young man climbed on his feet, jumped into the sky, and reached the beam, and pulled out the rusty knife at his waist in his hand.

Suddenly, the blue light flashed, and a single knife slashed towards the tall man, and the tall man hurriedly raised the knife to block, and the fire splashed everywhere with a "dang" sound.

Everyone thought that the rusty knife on the young man's waist was just a decorative thing, but unexpectedly, this black and inconspicuous rusty knife with rust was actually made of pure steel, and it actually shattered the tall double knife.
