The girl was walking down the street with a bag of soybeans on her back.
"Ugly girl!"
"Ugly girl!"
A group of little kids shouted after her.
"Go! Go! Go! If you shout again, I'll beat you!"
Behind the girl, the boy carrying a bigger bag of soybeans shook his fist vigorously at those little kids.
"But her name is Chou Gu! The Chou Gu who makes tofu! The Chou Gu who can't get married!"
"Little rags match ugly girl!"
A group of little kids scattered in a hurry.
"Her name is Hongdou! Next time I will smash your butts!" The boy angrily picked up the clod and threw it over.
"Ruochen, they are all children, don't get angry with them. They are just shouting for fun." The girl continued to walk forward, turned her body slightly, and handed the boy a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
act2
Hongdou and Ruochen sat by the pool.
"Why do you want to be Zhanfeng?"
"Because you become Zhanfeng, you can fight for justice and teach bad guys a lesson? Zhanfeng is the strongest swordsman."
"Ruochen! You're lying, because every time you lie, you don't dare to look me in the eyes. And you never said before that you want to be Zhanfeng or anything."
"actually…"
"Tell me what you have, do you still think of me as your buddy?"
"Actually, there are other reasons... I fell in love with a girl. I think if I can become Zhan Feng, she won't think I'm useless, right? I'm just a trash picker..."
"Is that so?" Hong Dou turned her head to look at her reflection in the pool beside her. She looked at an ugly red birthmark on her face, "Then she must be pretty."
"En!" Ruochen nodded vigorously.
"When are you going to leave for the assessment?" Hongdou asked.
"I'm leaving tomorrow, or I won't make it in time. Baicao Valley is far away."
"Then I'll prepare something for you later."
act3
Ruochen sat by the pool in a daze.
Hongdou slowly walked behind him.
"Why didn't you come to me after coming back for a long time?"
"I'm useless..."
"Do you still think I'm a buddy?"
"I…"
"It's just a one-time failure. If you just hang your head like this, you will be looked down upon by others. What kind of assessment do you have to pass to become Zhanfeng?"
"If you know how to drink, at least a thousand cups will keep you from getting drunk, because Zhanfeng cultivates his true qi, and he needs to use alcohol to stimulate it. If you can't drink, you can't cultivate Zhanfeng's true qi. But I just drank two glasses and fell down. "
"It doesn't matter, the amount of alcohol can be refined."
"But we don't even have a liquor store here."
"There will always be a way." Hongdou turned her head, looked at her reflection in the pool, and said forcefully.
act4
The red bean tofu shop is closed.
"Chou Gu, why don't you sell tofu?"
"Why don't you make tofu today?" Several aunts and aunts with bowls looked at the red beans who were immersed in reading and picking glutinous rice in confusion.
"Because starting today, I'm going to make wine."
"Don't sell tofu or wine? Are you crazy, ugly girl?"
"That's right, how many families are there, and how many people buy wine. Can you make money selling wine?"
"Anyway, selling tofu doesn't make much money." Hong Dou didn't look up.
There was a bang.
A wooden sign was hung on the door, "Red Bean Winery does not sell tofu, only spirits."
A group of aunts and aunts were all resentful and speechless.
act5
"You said you want to make strong wine?" An old man stood in front of a big vat and turned to look at the red beans. "How strong do you want?"
"As strong as it can be, as strong as it can make a person drink." Hongdou said.
"That's difficult."
The old man shook his head, "It's difficult to make spirits, as strong as it can be... Few people can make spirits that can be ignited and burned to the brim. , it will be even more difficult if you drink it without harming your body, otherwise you will be drunk and die if you drink it."
"But I heard you can do it, and I want to learn."
"You want to be my apprentice? No matter how strong the wine is, how difficult it is to make wine, and how hard it is to endure."
"I can suffer."
"Then give me three months of hard labor first."
act6
"I didn't expect you to be able to persist." The old man looked at Hongdou who returned in the sunrise with emotion.
Hong Dou silently changed into a pair of straw sandals that were wet with dew, and put down the heavy water jug she was carrying, "I said I can endure hardship."
"Okay then, come with me."
The old man led the way and took the red beans into the cave behind the house.
The cave is full of water tanks.
"What's stored here is all the dew you collected in three months." The old man knocked on the water tank, looking at the red beans thoughtfully.
"The strongest liquor that can make a person drink, and drink it without burning people to death, is only made by Zhaoxia."
"Spirit wine uses koji to set off the fire of five grains, invigorates blood and warms the body, and the fire is naturally extremely strong. Only the morning white dew on the morning glow flowers in the mountains can have medicinal properties. Therefore, to make morning glow brewing, you must first suffer. It is to get up early every day, walk countless mountain roads, and collect enough morning glow dew."
"The soles of your feet rotted a few days ago. I thought you couldn't hold on, but you persisted for three months."
"Now that the amount of Zhaoxialu is about the same, we can start brewing wine. You can officially worship me as your teacher."
"master!"
"Son, you have a sincere heart. Brewing wine is like being a human being. You can definitely make it into Zhaoxia Niang, but after that, you will have to suffer a lot after steaming and boiling."
act7
Hongdou and Ruochen sat by the pool.
"Where have you been these days? Why are your hands and face peeling off, and they are still so white. You don't want to learn how to make strong wine, and I don't want to be Zhan Feng..."
"Ruochen, do you still remember that we met here when we were young, the two of us couldn't afford to go to school, and we sat here crying together."
"of course I remember."
"Then do you still remember what we said here?"
"We became good friends, and then we said here that we must be best friends for the rest of our lives and be good friends."
"Then if you become Zhan Feng and become such a powerful swordsman, we will still be good friends."
"certainly!"
"Then do you remember what you promised me? To pass the assessment of Zhanfeng, you must be able to wield a giant sword like the wind. Did you practice hard while I was away?"
"Of course there is."
Ruochen picked up a big wooden stick with two big stones tied to it, and swung it back and forth vigorously, making wind.
"Is this your giant sword?" Hong Dou smiled.
"For the time being." Ruochen also smiled, "Hongdou, you look so pretty when you smile."
Hongdou's smile dimmed suddenly, she thought of a very beautiful girl named Bing Ning in Zhanfeng, and many teenagers who wanted to be Zhanfeng's disciples did so because they wanted to be favored by her and to get close to her.
"What's the matter with you, red bean?"
"nothing."
"Oh!"
Ruochen let out a strange cry, and fell into the pool with a bang, splashing everywhere.
"From childhood to adulthood, every time I was unhappy, you would only make me laugh by accidentally falling into the water." Hongdou glared at Ruochen who was waving a big wooden stick in the water, and said in his heart, A bright smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously.
"Ruochen?"
"kindness?"
"You drink this."
"What kind of wine is this? It's so strong! It seems like it's going to burn with one sip!"
"Is there any discomfort?"
"It's so dizzy, it seems that there is nothing uncomfortable."
"Go ahead and drink."
"So dizzy! Red Dou, is this the wine you made? I don't feel bad after drinking so much... Hong Dou, you are amazing!"
"You're like a braised shrimp in water now!"
"Haha, braised prawns are just right for wine... La la la la, my red beans are really good. The tofu I make is the best, and the wine I make is also the best... My red beans are the best."
"Going drunk again... Am I from your family..." Hong Dou's smile dimmed a bit.
act8
"Master! How could he do this!"
With Ruochen on his back, the trembling Hongdou pushed open the door of the old man's house in panic.
Ruochen on her back was blue all over, and his hands were twitching non-stop.
"The Zhaoxia wine you brewed is for him to drink?"
"How could Zhaoxia Niang..." The old man made three steps in parallel, and landed on Ruochen's pulse gate.
"Oops!" The old man's face changed drastically, "His health is too poor, it seems that he has accumulated a cold again, and he has been exercising too much during this period of time, and his body has lost too much. Zhaoxianiang is just a false fire, making his body think that it is coming Tonic, as a result, his blood energy was strong for a while, he probably practiced more frequently, but he didn't supplement it, so his body got sick."
"Master, what should we do? Give him other strong wine?"
"Ordinary hot and dry things are not good. Go to Sanlipu and find old doctor Mo. He should have a solution. Otherwise, not only his hands will be destroyed, but his life will be in danger!"
"Ruochen, you must persevere, you remember what you promised me! Master, please help me take care of him."
"You go!"
The old bartender looked at Hongdou's back, then at the unconscious Ruochen, and sighed.
Do you brat know what she did for you
"The body is weak and fiercely refined, and the fire is not replenished. The morning glow wine is originally a drink of the gods, but it becomes highly poisonous. This kid is too exhausted. People are like lamps. A person is a piece of firewood. If you burn too much, He has turned into charcoal, and I really have no power to restore him to his original state."
"Old doctor Mo, my master said that you can do it, please save him!"
"Laojiu and I are old friends. Of course I have something to say. It's not that I don't want to save him. It's just that he is too weak to be nourished. If he wants to save him, he must be warmed up. The medicine must have enough properties. Only enough blood bird's nest can do it." It can be used as medicine. If there is a prescription, it is useless without medicine.”
"Old Doctor Mo, the blood bird's nest is harvested by humans, please tell me where I can find it. If it is not enough, I will try to find it!"
"It's too dangerous. Although I know there is a place where it exists, it must be collected by specialized herb pickers, otherwise it will fall off the cliff and die."
"No, I can learn, as long as there is a chance, I will always try!"
"But…."
"Old Doctor Mo, please tell me... because, if it were me, he would definitely pick it too."
act9
"Master, you promise me this matter, don't tell him."
Beside the medicine stove, Red Bean, covered in scars, said to the old bartender while carefully cooking the medicine.
"You are such a moron!"
The old bartender looked at Hong Dou heartbroken, hating iron for being weak, "If you hadn't just fallen on a tree yesterday, you would have fallen to your death, why did you let me keep it from him and not let him know anything!"
"Because he's my best friend for life and I don't want to put pressure on him for what I've done for him."
"Since I was a child, he has been helping me all the time, so I survived, and I survived happily, right?"
Hongdou bit her lip and said slowly.
"Alas..." The old bartender looked at her for a long time, and finally couldn't say anything, but heaved a long sigh.
"Old doctor Mo's medicine is very effective. I should be able to start practicing the giant sword, right?" In the small room in front of the cave, Ruochen put down the medicine bowl and stretched his arms and legs, feeling full of strength.
"Old doctor Mo said that it will be almost ready from tomorrow, but you can only practice for four hours a day at most. After drinking the morning glow wine, drink a few bowls of medicinal wine by the way."
"red beans."
"kindness?"
"Thank you."
"Do you still think I'm a buddy? Do you think I'm angry?"
act10
under the hot sun.
Ruochen sweated like rain.
His skin glowed with a bronzed luster, and the muscles on his body were as angular as rocks.
The wooden stick tied with stones in his hand also turned into an iron stick, and as he walked lightly, the iron stick in his hand also rolled around like the wind.
"Have a meal!"
"drink wine!"
With a bang, the old wine master knocked a large bucket of rice with a lot of vegetables in front of him, and kicked a few wine tanks next to him angrily.
"What's wrong?"
Ruochen scratched his head strangely and muttered, "Why does the old bartender seem to be getting worse and worse recently? Could it be that the red beans made him angry, no, red beans won't make anyone angry."
"you!"
Hearing Ruochen's muttering, the old bartender turned around with a trembling beard, and pointed at him, "I advise you, it's better to cherish the person in front of you than to think about it in the clouds!"
"Cherish the people in front of you?"
Ruochen, who was eating and drinking wine, looked at the bearded and staring old bartender strangely, "I have always cherished it."
"You will regret this!"
The old bartender stomped his feet and shook his head.
"Regret?" Ruochen suddenly yelled.
He was distracted, and the chopsticks almost poked his nostrils.
act11
"Be careful on the road."
"I see!"
"I have prepared a new dress for you. Don't wear it on the road. You can wear it when you arrive."
"Really, I have new clothes to wear. Red Dou, you helped me make it yourself! A few days ago, I thought you made it for your master!"
"There are also two bottles of wine in the package, which are gut-burning, the strongest and most powerful wine, and you can only drink one sip at most. They are for you to drink on the road, so that you don't drink for a long time on the road, and your alcohol capacity will drop instead. "
"I see."
"Don't be nervous this time, it should definitely pass."
"I think so."
"kindness…"
"What's wrong?"
"There's nothing left."
Hongdou waved to Ruochen who was leaving with a large package on his back.
"Heartless!"
The old bartender cursed with red eyes.
"Master, are you talking about me, blame me for not sewing new clothes for you, did you sew them for him?" Hong Dou turned to look at him.
"I'm not talking about you! I'm talking about him! I'm not worth it for you! With such a good person by his side, what is he going to do to chop off the wind and blind his dog's eyes!" Not to mention that I passed the assessment, after becoming Zhanfeng, will I come back to see you often?"
"He should come back to see me often." Hongdou turned around, looked at Ruochen's back and said.
"Who knows!" The old bartender scolded, "Who knows if he will lose his soul even more after seeing that condensate?"
act12
Baicao Valley.
Apprenticeship assessment is in progress.
Ruochen played.
Rows of large bowls full of spirits lined the front.
Ruochen started to drink, one bowl after another, every bowl of wine in front of him was like a clear pool.
The shadow of him and Hongdou seemed to be reflected in the small pool.
he laughed.
The more you drink, the clearer your eyes will be.
Shouts of exclamation resounded from the crowd participating in the assessment.
"good!"
A heroic and unrestrained hermit swordsman with a huge sword on his back also cheered loudly.
Under the tree on one side, the extremely beautiful girl swordsman Ning Ning also had strange lights in her beautiful eyes.
Ruochen's drinking capacity seems to be the best among those who have come to participate in the assessment for more than ten years.
"Take the sword!"
There was a loud shout.
A huge sword shot at Ruochen.
Ruochen reached out to catch it and waved it forward.
The sword's momentum is like the wind, and it's a skill that doesn't work.
A piece of fine grass was flying, and Ruochen held the sword with one hand, lifting the weight as if it were light.
"This is the posture of chopping the wind!"
A sound of admiration sounded, and the three leaders of Zhanfeng all appeared.
act13
There is wind blowing.
Hongdou raised her head subconsciously.
She rubbed her eyes and shook her head again.
There was no familiar figure on the road.
He should become a real disciple of Zhanfeng, and he should be practicing with his senior brothers and sisters at this time, right
A person like him will become a true hero in the future, maybe he will gradually leave his own world, right
"This bastard!"
"It's really heartless!"
The old bartender was a little drunk. He sat under the locust tree, slapped the table and scolded.
"Are you scolding me?"
A voice sounded.
"Hongdou, I'm not scolding you, I'm scolding that heartless person, who has been away for so long and passed the assessment for so many days, and still won't come back to see you! It makes you keep watching him on the way he is going!" Old Wine the teacher said.
"Isn't that just scolding me?"
"..." The old bartender was a little sober now, and realized that it wasn't Hongdou who was talking to him.
"you!"
He opened his eyes hard, saw the person standing in front of him clearly, and suddenly yelled, "Red beans!"
act14
Hongdou appeared in front of the door.
Ruochen looked at her and smiled embarrassedly.
Hongdou saw the sword on his back.
The sword is very big, and it feels very safe when you look at it. It seems that it can kill bad people if you use it to crush people.
"How about it?"
She asked Ruochen.
"Passed!" Ruochen patted the giant sword on his back and laughed brilliantly.
"I mean, have you caught up with the girl you like?" Hong Dou glared at him.
"Now you can chase!"
"Ruochen, what are you doing!" Hongdou exclaimed.
"Bastard, what are you doing!" The old bartender was also shocked.
Ruochen picked up the red beans at once, and ran desperately.
"Treasure the person in front of you. Haha." Ruochen's voice sounded on the mountain road.
act14
By the clear small pool.
"What are you doing!" Hongdou was ashamed and angry.
"You asked me here the other day if my sweetheart is good-looking, and I replied good-looking." Ruochen looked at Hongdou without blinking his eyes, "Because you are really good-looking."
Hongdou was stunned.
"You asked me why I wanted to be Zhanfeng, and I replied that you want to be a hero and not be bullied by others. Have you forgotten that just two days before that, there was a criminal who took your tofu and refused to give you money? Scold you, you won't let me fight him, because you know I can't fight him."
"They call me little trash, because I have always been able to pick up trash and do groceries. If you marry me, it seems that even you will be inferior, so I made up my mind to be a knight like Zhan Feng, You must be someone everyone admires, and you must not be bullied."
"You...you practice so hard, it's..." Hongdou couldn't believe it.
"You idiot!"
Ruochen tapped Hongdou's forehead, "My heart is filled with you, can I still pretend to be someone else! It's not for you, dare you treat me so well! I'm already a person who can do Zhanfeng, you Think I'm so stupid?"
Hong Dou pressed his forehead against Ruochen, seeing that his face was blushing.
Fool, you are the most stupid. P
