Although I miss Master very much, but Senior Brother and the others are not worried, Senior Sister Linglong also smiled and said: "Perhaps Master is looking for good wine somewhere, and he will forget all about us when he gets drunk."
Everyone else understood this, but Xiaodong didn't quite understand it.
Jiang Fan peeled a small plate of melon seeds and handed it to Xiaodong, and said with a smile: "Master has no other hobbies in his life, but he loves this cup. One year he went down the mountain, because he happened to meet a family with good wine. The master was obsessed with buying other people's wine, but he didn't want to sell it. The master thought of many ways, and then he played chess, gambled and drank with people. He went there every day for two or three months until he drank all the wine in the house. I came back when I was clean."
Speaking of this Linglong also laughed: "Master is the person who doesn't like to play chess the least, saying that he is too brain-intensive. Usually, friends and close friends ask him to play chess, but he never agrees. But that time, he played chess with others to bet on winning or losing for drinking. The kung fu is not ordinary. We don't know how good the wine is. Since then, the master's chess skills have improved by leaps and bounds.
"Speaking of wine, I'm a bit greedy. Right now, there's meat and vegetables here, but unfortunately there's no wine. Brother, let's open a jar of wine to eat?"
The elder brother pondered for a while, and agreed happily: "Okay, today is the third junior brother's birthday, so let's make an exception and get some wine. But the younger brother is still young, and the wine on the mountain is too strong, so don't give it to him. "
Xiaodong shook his head like a wave drum: "Eldest brother, don't look down on people. Why don't others give it to me? I don't accept it. Besides, I'm not young anymore, and I used to eat wine at home."
Jiang Fan was the most soft-hearted one, and when Xiaoli said this, he followed suit: "Yes, brother, today is my birthday, everyone is happy, let the younger brother also have a drink, as long as you don't drink too much. .”
Linglong and Chen Jingzhi also helped to intercede, the senior brother smiled and said: "Okay, okay, seeing how good you are at protecting your weaknesses, then let him have a drink, no more than that."
When Xiaodong mentioned the past just now, the eldest brother was a little worried that he would be in a bad mood when he thought of his deceased uncle, but seeing that his face was still full of smiles, he let go of his thoughts.
What Junior Brother Jiang said is also reasonable, it is rare for everyone to be happy today, the senior brothers are all gathered together, it doesn't hurt to let the Junior Brother and the others drink a little wine to their heart's content.
"Then I'll go get the wine, you just wait."
The master's wine is well placed, that is, Mo Chen, it might not be easy to steal it out if it is someone else.
As soon as the wine was opened, the strong aroma of wine wafted out. If the drinker is light, let alone drink, he might be drunk just by smelling it.
Ordinarily, the youngest one should do the job of pouring the wine, but Senior Sister Linglong rushed to pick up the jar and said with a smile: "Let me pour it, you just need to sit down."
She held the jar and poured wine for everyone one by one. Xiaodong took a sip and didn't think the wine was bad at all, probably because it was a good bar hidden by the master? The wine Xiaodong had tasted before was bitter and spicy, and when he took a sip, the spicy taste rushed to his nose, and tears came out all at once.
But this wine is different, it is very fragrant, after drinking it, I feel that it is warm from the tongue to the throat and it is very comfortable. Not only is it not bitter, Xiaodong even feels that there is a sweetness in the wine.
"It's delicious, no wonder the master loves wine so much." Linglong raised her head boldly and drank half of the glass.
Everyone looked different after drinking, senior brother's eyes became brighter, senior sister Linglong's voice was much higher than before, senior brother Jiang blushed, as if he had applied thick rouge.
As for Xiaodong himself? There is no mirror here, and he can't see his own appearance, but he feels light all over his body, and his mood is also light, and he can't stop giggling and giggling non-stop.
Jiang Fan also laughed at Linglong: "Don't go to the master's house to steal wine once you get addicted to it. The master's wine is always there, let alone a jar of wine that we secretly drank today, even if it's just a small amount. Even a small bottle, the master will definitely notice it."
"When you find it, you will find it. Needless to say, the master's swordsmanship must be passed on to the elder brother. We will definitely not snatch it from you. Even if we want to, we will not be able to snatch it. This wine, I will take care of it In the future, Eldest Senior Brother will be the best swordsman on the mountain, and I will be the one with the biggest drinker on the mountain!"
Xiaodong doesn't know if senior sister drinks a lot or not, anyway, everyone knows from today, Xiaodong's drinking capacity is really terrible. The wine was poured just now, and each of them had a glass in front of them, because the elder brother was watching from the side, Xiaodong only took a sip of that glass. When Senior Sister Linglong asked Jiang Fan to fight and drink, and was having fun, she suddenly found that there was one person missing from the table.
Everyone panicked and looked around, but it turned out that Xiaodong had just slipped off the chair and had already slipped under the table. He couldn't wake up with his eyes closed, but he still laughed stupidly from time to time.
Xiaodong was not the only one who was drunk that night, Linglong was also drunk. She was so hungry for that jar of wine that she couldn't help it, and she drank the remaining half of the jar in left and right sips.
The other drunk was Chen Jingzhi.
There was something in his heart, and he was depressed all day long. As soon as he was attracted by the wine, he couldn't hold back anymore, and he was not as well-behaved as usual. The wine was not spicy, and I drank a lot without knowing it. If a person has something on his mind, he will get drunk much faster than ordinary people. When Chen Jingzhi was drunk, he put his head on the table in front of him, and fell asleep after a while.
This is good, three of the five people are drunk after eating. It was already late at night, and the wind was strong outside, so there was no point in moving them around. The senior brother called the woman who was doing odd jobs on the mountain, and asked her to help send Linglong back to her room. As for the two junior brothers, they should not move at all, since Kang can sleep well anyway, and each of them will add another bed , just let them nest here for one night.
Brother Jiang was also a little bit drunk, and after the quilt was spread out, and the two drunks were moved there to settle down, he himself was hot and sweaty.
"Brother, why don't you just make do with it here, it's getting late and the wind is so strong outside."
It was very windy outside tonight. Fortunately, the mountain wind was taken into consideration when their house was built. Although the house is decades old, the doors, windows, beams and tiles are very strong, and the wind is stronger than it is now. I can also bear it.
"Alright." Mo Chen responded in one gulp. What he was thinking was not to save these few steps, but he was afraid that if these two little drunks got into a row at night, Jiang Fan would not be able to take care of them alone.
Fortunately, these two people didn't make much trouble, and they fell asleep when they had too much wine. When Mo Chen picked Xiaodong up and put him on the kang, he heard him yelling vaguely.
It sounded like he was calling uncle, but it was very vague and the voice was so small that he couldn't hear clearly.
If you don't pay attention, you might think it's the little milk cat meowing beside you.
Mo Chen lowered his head and took a closer look at him. Fortunately, Xiaodong didn't have a sad expression on his face, but he might have remembered something good in the past. His brows and eyes were stretched, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved upwards. It looks so cute, so... contented.
Most likely it was a good dream.
Maybe he dreamed of his uncle.
Mo Chen has never met that Uncle Xie, he only knows that he is a good friend that the master met in the early years, but he has not seen him for some years. This time, the man was seriously ill and went up the mountain just to take care of Gu, and the master also agreed to come down. It seems that the relationship between the two should be very good.
I don't know what kind of person that is, but he must be a good uncle, that's why people miss him so much.
Mo Chen was also adopted by his master since he was a child. He has no relatives and no reason. He has never cared about anyone like Xiaodong.
Maybe it was because of the alcohol, he also became a little weak and thought a little too much.
If one day...he is no longer in this world, will anyone, anyone, miss him like this
Maybe the master will miss his apprentice, and maybe the younger brothers and sisters will also miss him as a senior, and the friends he met outside, may miss him too.
But it will not be so often, such a deep feeling for him. They may have occasional moments of affection, but they will soon forget him.
Probably only between relatives can there be such deep affection.
However, he has no relatives.
He is also alone in this world.
After covering Xiaodong with a quilt, Jiang Fan had already spread out the quilt for him, and took out a new pillow and said, "Brother, let's sleep on this."
The place he made the shop was next to Xiaodong.
When Mo Chen lay down, he still felt a little strange in his heart.
How many years has he not slept so close to a person, and he has lived alone since as long as he can remember.
The master dotes on the younger brothers and sisters below him more, but he is very indifferent to him. Since he was a child, he has been told to be self-restraining, prudent, to have the appearance of the first disciple of Huiliu Mountain, and to set an example for the younger brothers and sisters below.
Jiang Fan was so happy today, he spent such a happy birthday with a group of fellow students, ate longevity noodles and drank wine. It's a pity that the master is not there. He was adopted by the master since he was a child, and passed on his skills. In his heart, the master is no different from his biological father. No, even ordinary people's biological fathers don't have such great affection for their sons.
He was talking, laughing, and rambling in the middle of the night, and he was already exhausted. After laying out the bedding for Mo Chen, his consciousness was no longer clear. He took off his coat and crawled into his bed, closing his eyes. Started snoring.
Mo Chen also quickly fell asleep.
Before falling asleep, he thought about it. It was the first time he was sleeping in the junior brother's room, and there were so many people around him. Looking to the left, it was the head of the junior junior brother, and looking to the right, it was the round face of the younger brother Jiang. He could hear the sound of breathing clearly. With so much movement and chaos, can he fall asleep
As a result, he fell asleep quickly. (to be continued)
