When the three of them walked past the main entrance, a plaque engraved with "Comfort Nest" swelled up in their hearts.

There is a couplet hanging on the two beams and pillars at the entrance, which is written on the wooden plaque, "It is appropriate to tune the piano in the morning, and the drum is suitable in the evening; "The font is dusty and powerful.

This hall is the architectural form of the four-sided hall, through the doors and windows of the flowers and trees on all sides, the precipice covered by the plants behind it, and the surrounding soft fence faintly penetrates into the hall, and it seems that the mahogany furniture furnished is thick and unpretentious, leisurely and natural. At the corner of the house, there is a staircase made of Nanmu that leads to the upper floor.

The old man's voice came down again: "Three of you, please come on!"

Huang Yi exchanged glances with Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and walked up the stairs.

The upper floor is divided into two rooms with a screen, one side is set up with a round table and square chairs, and the other side should be the master's bedroom.

At this time, a person was standing in front of the window, facing out of the window, and said softly: "Three little brothers, please sit down and taste the six fruit liquid brewed by the old man." “

Only then did the three of them realize that there were wine glasses and other wine utensils on the table, and the aroma of wine was overflowing.

Under the reflection of the two hanging palace lamps, there are only a few necessary pieces of furniture except for the tables and chairs, all of which are made of sour branch wood, which is elegant and noble.

The old man was a big man, although he couldn't see his face because he was carrying them behind his back, but he was a little taller than Xu Ziling, and he was afraid that he was no worse than Huang Yi. At the same time, he wore a wide robe, which gave him a kind of aura that made the mountains look up.

Kou Xu and the others remembered their current identities, and said it nicely, they were pastry chefs invited by Pegasus Ranch. It's ugly, it's just two 'subordinates'. Although I don't know the identity of this old man, I just look at it and know that it is definitely not bad. The three of them looked at the wine on the table, and just when they didn't know what to do, the old man sighed and said, "Drink!

His tone revealed a deep helplessness, making people feel that he must have a sad past.

The three looked at each other again.

The three of them couldn't figure out the identity of the old man and his relationship with the ranch, but they were sure that he was an unfathomable senior master. If you run away, you will lose face. and seems to be disrespectful to the elderly.

After hesitating for a moment, Huang Yi laughed. The leader sat down and said: "The old-timers said it well!' There is wine today, drunk today, and sorrow tomorrow comes. 'Sing to the wine. How much is life!"

Seeing this, Kou Zhong didn't care what would happen afterwards. Lifting the wine, he poured four glasses, and seeing that the old man still didn't move, he picked up one cup himself, and handed the other two cups to Huang Yi and Xu Ziling.

The fruit is brewed into the throat, the wine is mellow, soft and refreshing, and the most rare thing is that the aroma is rich and harmonious, and the aftertaste is long.

Huang Yi had an intoxicated face. "Grapes, hawthorn, pineapple! Well, since this wine is called 'Six Fruit Liquid'." There should be six kinds of fruits, but I don't know what the remaining three are......."

The old man laughed and said, "The kid has a good tongue. This wine is made from six kinds of fresh fruits: pomegranate, grape, orange, mountain pomace, green plum and pineapple, and after fruit selection, washing, bleaching, crushing, abandoning the core, maceration, juice extraction, fermentation, comparison, filtration, and mellowing processes, it is then put into wooden barrels and buried for three years to age.

If in the past, the title of a person changed from a little brother to a boy, it means that the relationship between the two is going to be strained. But at this moment, the relationship between the four of them has been brought closer.

Huang Yi praised from the bottom of his heart: "My predecessors are really good at winemaking and are very creative. Fruit winemaking, if it is not a booze, can not help but not hurt the body, but also has the effect of strengthening the body and beautifying the skin. ”

The old man was silent for a while, and said softly: "You are also different from ordinary people. The old man has been living here for nearly 30 years, and no one has ever dared to break into this place except Xiuxun, you must be newcomers. “

When the three of them heard this, they knew that they had violated the taboo, and Xu Ziling said apologetically: "Deputy Butler Liang didn't tell us about this, which disturbed the Qing cultivation of the seniors, and I ...... it."

The old man interrupted him and said, "You have a Yangzhou accent, which is strange, the ranch rarely hires outsiders?"

Kou Zhong couldn't help but ask, "Is it true that the seniors have never left here for thirty years?"

The old man laughed and said: "Of course not, although I have regarded this comfortable nest as a place to live in the past 30 years, but I have more time to go out and less time to stay here. “

After that, he turned around slowly, facing the three of them.

It was a very special face, simple and causter. His long, dark eyebrows stretched to the spotted sideburns, but the other end was joined together on the bridge of the ear, in stark contrast to his deep eagle eyes. Melancholy wrinkles appeared at the corners of his mouth and under his eyes, giving him a look of reluctance to ask about the world, exhaustion and sadness.

The bridge of his nose is as straight and powerful as his waist, and with his naturally proudly closed lips and slender and clean face, he looks like a prince and nobleman who once enjoyed all the wealth and glory of the world, but now his heart is like ashes.

His gaze slowly swept over the three of them, and he smiled slightly: "Do you know why I, a person who ignores the world, will invite you to come up and meet?"

The three shook their heads blankly.

The old man showed an exhausted expression, sat down slowly, took the six fruit liquids and drank them all, and said with a wry smile: "This little brother is right! This wine does have healing effects, if it weren't for this thing hanging my life, it would be impossible to see the three of them today." “

The three of them looked at each other and asked, "Is the senior injured?"

The old man nodded and said: "That was the injury I suffered thirty years ago, although the demon woman's Heavenly Demon Skill is known as the crown of the evil sect, it still can't take my life, let me use the mountainous terrain to escape thousands of miles away and hide here." “

He sighed again and said: "In the past thirty years, I have devoted all my energy here to build a garden, if there is no sustenance in this regard, I will continue my life with the 'Six Fruits'." I'm afraid I'll die of an injury. However, in the past few days, I have always recalled the old hatred from time to time, which is a harbinger of the recurrence of the injury, and the old man is afraid that his time is running out. “

The three of them were taken aback, and Huang Yi let out a cool breath and said, "That demon woman, could it be ...... Could it be that it refers to the 'Queen of Yin' Zhu Yuyan?"

The old man was stunned and said, "You are not simple, you actually know that there is such a demon. Alas, I have done two things in my life that I will regret for the rest of my life, and one of them is that I fell in love with this woman. Creation makes people, what else is there to say. “

The three of them were surprised in their hearts! This person dared to be emotional to Zhu Yuyan, and he was able to escape in her hands. Never is a simple character. Kou Zhong was embarrassed to ask directly, so he had to knock on the side and say, "The predecessor must be a very famous figure in the rivers and lakes, can you give me a show?"

The corner of the old man's mouth pulled out a proud smile, and he said casually: "Even if Guan Ning Dodge sees the old man, he must also respect and call 'Teacher Lu'." Alas, so what? In the end, I didn't hate the demon woman, thinking that I Lu Miaozi was conceited all my life. The name of the first generation was lost. “

The three of them frowned, and they couldn't remember that one of the predecessors in the rivers and lakes was named Lu Miaozi. But I feel so familiar, I seem to have heard someone say it.
