Chapter 21: Behind the Gate
Qin Feihe said: "There are no stories, but there are one or two hateful things." ”
Ding Cheng wanted to inquire about Jubaozhuang and Wu Laohan, and a person outside the door smiled heartily: "Qin Gongzi, I heard that a guest is coming, I have come to join in the fun." After speaking, a middle-aged man came in from outside the door, with a long beard under his chin, dressed as a fisherman, but he looked like a literati.
Qin Feihe got up and greeted him: "Brother Li came just in time, let me introduce you, this is Ding Cheng Ding Gongzi." He also introduced to Ding Cheng: "This is Brother Li, the village chief of the fishing village, Brother Li and the people in the village are the most hospitable, Brother Ding is ready to get drunk tonight." ”
Ding Cheng raised his hand and saluted: "Ding Cheng is disturbed!"
Village Chief Li said: "Ding Gongzi is polite, when he arrives in our fishing village, it is like coming home." He said to Qin Feihe: "The rest of the village will arrive soon, Qin Gongzi put the table in the courtyard, and everyone is lively." As he spoke, two more fishermen came in and moved the tables and chairs to the courtyard. After a while, more than 20 fishermen came to the courtyard one after another, and everyone worked together to arrange the tables and chairs in a circle, and the tables were full of wine, vegetables and fruits. The village chief asked people to bring firewood and light a bonfire in the middle of the courtyard.
When everything was ready, everyone sat down, and everyone came to toast Ding Cheng one by one. Ding Cheng saw that the villagers in the fishing village were so hospitable, and the wine was extremely mellow, so the wine was dry. Everyone was very happy to see Ding Cheng bold. After a while, the grilled fish grilled in the bonfire was served, and Ding Cheng tasted it, but he felt that it was extremely delicious and praised it repeatedly.
Qin Feihe said with a smile: "Brother Ding is really knowledgeable, this grilled fish is a secret in the fishing village." ”
Ding Cheng said: "Who doesn't know such a good thing? Who doesn't boast about it?"
The two of them raised their glasses and drank freely, and the wine was half-drunk, and they talked more and more. Ding Cheng asked, "Brother Qin doesn't seem to be a local fisherman, right?"
Qin Feihe said: "Yes, I am originally from Liaodong, my father is a border guard under General Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, I grew up in the army with my father, and I also galloped with my father to resist gold and protect the country." Later, Inspector Yuan was killed, and the traitors in the court wantonly brutalized Inspector Yuan's old department. Because his father's personality was too straight, he was unwilling to bribe the traitorous party in the DPRK and China, and hated the traitorous party who killed Inspector Yuan, so he naturally became a thorn in the side of the traitorous party and a thorn in the flesh. Later, my father was falsely imprisoned, and half a year later, he became ill and died of illness in prison. In order to escape the disaster, the nurse and I fled all the way to the southwest to the fishing village. The fishermen are down-to-earth and hospitable. My nurse and I stayed for many years. ”
Ding Cheng couldn't help but feel hatred when he heard it. Qin Feihe said: "Let's not talk about sad things tonight, only talk about heroic feelings." After that, he raised his glass and said, "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. ”
Ding Cheng also raised his wine glass and then chanted: "Heaven and earth love wine, and love wine is worthy of heaven." ”
The two of them groaned, looked at each other and smiled, and raised their heads to drink a glass of Chinese wine.
It was the village chief shouting, "Dance!" and everyone stood up and came to the middle, holding hands in a circle. Qin Feihe and Ding Cheng were also pulled into the team by two young girls. It turns out that Yunnan women are not as disciplined as the women of the Central Plains, and there are not so many dogmatic constraints between men and women. Ding Cheng stood in the middle of the team, singing and dancing with the team, forgetting all his troubles for a while.
