Chapter Seventy-One: Memories of the Wine Shop
Liu Mu clearly remembers that a few months ago, the three of them rode through this place, and the land was still dark green at that time. When the www.biquge.info pen %fun %pavilion returned, it had become more than 20 horses, and the roaring sound of horses' hooves was like thunder. There was a wine shop nearby, and the tall cyan wine flag would be seen far away, and the three of them stopped to drink a few jars of wine that day. After giving Iron Banner an order, the whole horse team hugged the carriage and walked towards the two low-bed wine shops at the foot of the mountain.
Although the wine is not the best wine, it is not so greedy for Liu Mu. Just because the place faced the green mountains and crossed Surabaya, there were many tourists in the spring, so many people drank the wine mixed with water, and they would also feel drunk. Looking at those red men and women laughing and dissolute, with a big hand of wine and water, you can feel that you are very close to this world, this feeling is something he can never forget, and it is what he is looking for.
In just a few months, everything has changed. The girl who used to sing is gone, and she may have been a wife for a long time. The green mountains in that memory also show gray desolation. Only the small wine shop is still there, and the cyan wine flag has not faded with time, allowing Liu Mu to capture the memories of that day without any obstacles.
When Liu Mu stepped out of the carriage and landed on the ground with the support of the iron banner, the biting cold wind hit him, causing a tingling pain in his face. The cold air entered his throat, causing a coughing sound, Liu Mu was like a shackle on his body, he couldn't shake off or hide, he could only bend over and twitch in place. Trembling, he took out a delicate flask from his bosom, tilted his head and poured it into his throat, suppressed the piercing cough, and then walked towards the liquor store.
The pine fence has rotted away, and it has not survived this cold winter, and it quietly collapsed after swaying a few times in the cold wind, Liu Mu didn't care, and continued to walk towards the store. There is no curtain on the door of the wine shop, and three or two old wooden tables can be vaguely seen in the open door, and a middle-aged man with a rich body and a mustache is pretending to sleep at the moment, and the wrinkles on his face indicate that he is not young.
With Liu Mu's low cough, the middle-aged man raised his head from the crook of his arm on the table, and said a little bleakly: "The old lady of the cook is dead, and I can't do business recently." If you want to eat hot, take advantage of the fact that it is still early and go to the county seat. “
Liu Mu recognized him, he was the shopkeeper of the day, but at this moment his face did not have that treacherousness, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, don't you know me?" After seeing the shopkeeper's head, he said: "You don't know me, but I recognize you as the shopkeeper here, and you can also sell wine mixed with water!"
The middle-aged man was not half ashamed when Liu Mu said this, and said with a serious expression: "Dare to ask the distinguished guest's surname?"
"The general is drunk!" Liu Mu reported the name of the wine as he did that day.
The man seemed to suddenly remember something, and after a few words, he said with some apologies: "There is wine, but the old lady of the cook died, and she went back to mourn." “
"Where is the kitchen? We brought the cook and the ingredients. Tie Qi took a few steps forward and asked the shopkeeper.
I was not surprised that Liu Mu and others traveled with cooks, in the memory of Luo Er, the shopkeeper, there were always a few sons and daughters from large families who came to the spring every year, and those people brought their own cooks, and he thought that there was no difference between Liu Mu and those people. Pointing to the location of the kitchen, he stood up and waited for Liu Mu to have other requirements. When Liu Mu sat down, the cloak on his body was naturally untied and put away by the iron flag, and Liu Mu smiled and said to Luo Er: "I want to drink, do you have one that doesn't mix water?"
"Yes, please wait a moment. It was only at this time that a trace of unnaturalness floated on Luo Er's face, and when he heard Liu Mu asking for wine, he hurriedly ran towards the wine cellar in the backyard.
Liu Mu naturally picked up the wine bowl poured by Luo Er, and after sniffing deeply, he drank it in a big gulp, and the wine bowl was empty after a few clicks. Put down the wine bowl and wait until Luo Er poured it full again, then said slowly: "Good wine is for drinking, not for spoiling." You must remember this in the future, otherwise you will die!" Seeing Luo Er nodding his head there in a hurry, he picked up the wine bowl again and said, "Very good, I have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and I only understand this one truth." Now that it's been handed over to you, I wonder what you're going to use to thank you?"
Luo Er saw Liu Mu and his entourage, all of them were swordsman, and knew that they were bandits or heroes in the rivers and lakes. didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Liu Mu, who looked like a handsome son, would do that blackmail, and his eyes were suddenly full of disbelief and despair. In the past ten years of wine shop operation, he has always been careful to serve the people passing by, and he does not dare to make the slightest mistake, and today I am afraid that it will come to an end.
"Huh?" Liu Mu was a little displeased, and his hand holding the wine bowl couldn't help but move closer to Luo Er again.
Tieqi didn't have such a good temperament as Liu Mu, so he immediately slapped the demented Luo Er awake and scolded: "You are a murderer, my young master serves you wine, it is a blessing that you have cultivated for hundreds of years, and you dare to grind!"
Luo Er, who was awakened by the iron flag, heard the iron flag scolding like this, and couldn't wait to hug the iron flag and kiss the two to show his excitement. Immediately, he couldn't help nodding his head, took the wine bowl in Liu Mu's hand with both hands, and was afraid that the wine would spill out, so he stretched his neck and put his mouth up, and poured all the bowls of spirits without a drop left. His face was as red as a prawn, and he was silly for a while, shaking and falling to the ground drunk.
The corners of Liu Mu's mouth pulled up a good-looking arc, and he didn't care about Luo Er, who was drunk and humming on the ground, and said to the others who were laughing: "Sit down and drink some, this weather is suitable for drinking." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Sanjin and a few brothers, carrying a cauldron of meat, and walking out with a steaming wine jar. He smiled lightly: "This place is not the death of the cook's wife, but the death of the boss." Not even a handy guy!"
Liu Mu picked up an empty bowl again, waited for Tieqi to pour the warm wine, sniffed the pungent smell of wine, said "good wine" with a cheerful face, and swallowed it with a big mouthful. Before the bowl could be put on the table, a violent cough sounded again.
Tie Qi sighed, and said that Liu Mu's back was patted slowly, hoping to relieve the cough, but he said in his mouth: "Young master, it is better to drink less if you are weak in your body, this time is different from the past, you should be careful." “
Liu Mu, who stopped coughing, showed a bright smile on his face, turned his head and said, "If you don't drink because of this cough, then what fun is there in my life." Don't be busy, sit down and have a drink!"
"I don't drink. There was a rare resoluteness in Iron Banner's tone.
"Why?" Liu Mu couldn't imagine it, this was still the iron banner that saw wine and drank heavily in the past, and it was completely introverted. Like the dilapidated locust flowers in October, they are stubborn but have no fragrance.
Tieqi turned his head to look at the stone that had already sat on the altar, and then said, "Because the stone has already drunk!"
Liu Mu understood what Tie Qi meant, but it was precisely because he understood it that he was even more uncomfortable. The most regrettable thing in the world is that Fenghua is old, this sentence is not only beautiful people will have such feelings, the iron flag has been with him for a long time, and he still remembers that oath. Raised his eyes to look at the crow's feet that Iron Banner had since I didn't know when, and said loudly: "You already have the ability to kill me!"
