The Snowy Path of the Heroic Blade

Chapter 18: Those jars of rice wine

Views:

Xu Fengnian woke up early in the morning, and could feel the comfort brought by the brocade quilt with his eyes closed, which made him very content. He had never been hungry and suffered from wind and cold. No matter how sincere and sincere the fathers' persuasion is, they can't tell the taste.

On the Yellow Crane Tower, I talked with Li Hanlin and Yan Chiji's two Gaoliang children about their three-year travels. They were only curious about the anecdotes of martial arts in the rivers and lakes when they were young. Xu Fengnian, who has not faded, is very lucky to be able to return to Liangzhou alive. Just sitting up, sweet potato, a big girl in the greenhouse who lives in the small couch next door, comes in to help dress and wear a crown. Xu Fengnian did not refuse. Done.

When Sweet Potato was passing around, he reminded softly that there was an extra secret letter on the table, and Xu Fengnian hummed.

In the wealthy family, breaking the rules is a taboo, no matter how favored the maids and concubines are, they dare not take it lightly. After Xu Fengnian got out of bed, rinsed his mouth and washed his face, he gently opened the letter. Such things are not common. Not everyone can enter Wutong Garden. On the outside of the envelope was written a small seal script, Yin.

Xu Fengnian is not surprised by this. It is an open secret that everyone knows that there are ten dead men of the earthly branch around his father. They are all like ghosts who can't see the sun.

Xu Fengnian found that this letter was something similar to an itinerary introduction. The writing was straightforward, and it was a record of Lao Huang's trip to the East China Sea, with every detail recorded.

At first it was all trivial, Xu Fengnian looked funny, thinking about his embarrassing incidents in the parade at that time, all of them were known to his father, when Xu Fengnian saw Lao Huang entered the jurisdiction of Wudi City, which is facing Jieshi in the east and has a considerable sea, because the "Yin" Added some anecdotes other than Lao Huang, for example, several famous swordsmen in the world entered Wudi City early, in addition to the head of Yue Wang Jianchi, and two Wu family sword tombs who rarely entered the world, both left the mountain and entered the East China Sea, wait and see the head of the city In the battle at the peak, the next article mentioned that Cao Guanzi, a well-known first-rank master, rented an entire Guanhai Building in Emperor Wu City.

Although Xu Fengnian did not experience it personally, he clearly felt the suffocation of a dark cloud over the city and a stormy building. The penultimate article tells that Lao Huang stopped for a while at a wine shop not far from the main tower, and asked for two or two drinks. , half a catty of meat, and a plate of peanuts.

This old Huang is still a tepid and nice guy.

There is only the last one left of the "Yin" spy record.

Xu Fengnian didn't read it in a hurry, but just remembered many things that happened in the past three years. Stealing, those who can think of tricks have tried their best to trick them out, but unfortunately they often fail to get anything, and they still have to be chased and beaten.

From the first time I saw a pretty girl, I was shy and started to chat up, to the last time I saw a pretty girl, I took a detour, from being picky and picky, the meat is not fine enough, the wine is not mellow enough, and later I have a sip of hot tea that tastes meaty Just thank goodness, worlds apart.

Borrowing two broken Taoist robes to pretend to be a poor alchemist and tell people nonsense.

Playing Go in an alley that has not yet been popular among the people, but did not make much money, but was lost a few copper coins by a few alley villains who are proficient in wood wild foxes.

He sold calligraphy and paintings, and also wrote family letters for villagers.

It is rare to be lucky enough not to be chased and beaten by villagers.

— Young master, this is a cucumber stolen from the vegetable garden by the village, it can be eaten raw.

Bah bah bah, can this thing be eaten

The disheveled His Royal Highness Shi Zi sat on a small soil bag and threw the cucumber he gnawed far away. Huang, help me pick up that cucumber, I really don't have the energy to get up.

Young master, this is corn on the cob, roasted, it is better than raw cucumber.

Don't talk nonsense, eat!

—Old Huang, what are you digging out of the ground

sweet potato.

Can it be eaten raw

able!

So fucking crunchy and sweet.

Eldest young master, can I speak a word

explain!

In fact, it tastes better when cooked.

Your mother! Didn't you say it earlier? !

—Although stealing this native chicken almost cost my life, it’s worth it! It's not worse than tender yellow musk.

It is fragrant.

Lao Huang, when you first entered the village, why did you keep staring at the ass of that slut woman? Last time you stared at a village girl who was breastfeeding a child. Come

Don't dare to touch, only dare to look.

promising!

—Old Huang, I must be dying. If I had known earlier, I would not have touched the box in your luggage.

Won't! Don't think about it, young master, people are scared by themselves, so I like to think for the better. Young master, think more about the good wine, meat and that pretty lady, and you'll pass this hurdle after thinking about it.

The more I think about it, the more I want to die.

Don't, don't, the young master still owes me several pots of rice wine. As soon as the big man said a word, he couldn't pull back four cows, five donkeys and six horses, and a loud fart could make a hole in our hometown.

Old Huang, it's not funny at all.

Then let me change a joke for the young master

No, you have told those old and dirty stories that you have heard over and over again a thousand and eight hundred times, and my ears are numb. Stop talking, sleep for a while, don't worry, you won't die.

middle.

—Old Huang, have you ever asked for a wife

No, when I was young, I only knew how to do a coolie job, forging iron all day long, but I couldn't save copper coins. Later, when I got older, how could any girl look up to me.

That life is so boring and full of regrets.

It's okay, it's okay, just like my old Huang, who has never tasted bird's nest and bear's paw in this life, I don't think about their taste, at most I can take a chance to look at them and enjoy it, young master, isn't that the reason

If you can't see Lao Huang, you still know something.

Hey, just thinking about it.

—Old Huang, you said that this kid Wen Hua has been thinking about practicing swords all day long, but judging by his posture, it doesn't look like he has a talent for swordsmanship.

Eldest young master, I think, you can’t see right just by looking at it, just like when I was a child, I went up the mountain to collect firewood. Those who were strong enough to chop for two hours refused to contribute. My hands and feet are clumsy, but I can sharpen the hatchet. After another six or seven hours, they would always carry more firewood down the mountain than they did. Moreover, if you go up to the mountain to collect firewood, if you stay on the mountain for a long time, you may be able to see good wood, and you can sell a lot of copper for a piece of wood.

This method is too stupid.

A stupid person must use a stupid method, or he will not survive. After finally being reincarnated and going through this world, I feel that I can't just do nothing.

Alas, I can't stand your reasoning the most. By the way, Lao Huang, if I learn swordsmanship, will I have a future

Isn't the future going to skyrocket? !

Old Huang, when you say this compliment, you really don't feel any sense of accomplishment at all. Hey, hey, how many times have I told you, don't look at me like that!

—The eldest maid Sweet Potato looked at His Highness Shizi's expression, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

Xu Fengnian restrained his thoughts and finally opened the last chapter.

"Jianjiu's yellow-backed box flew up to the wall, and stood at a distance of twenty feet from Wang Xianzhi. The five swords in the box were released, and the eight swords were used. Wang Xianzhi responded with one hand. There were sixty-eight moves in total. At the end, the sword nine came out. Wang Xianzhi moved with his right hand. .Jian Jiu, like a galaxy pouring thousands of miles, destroyed Wang Xianzhi's right arm sleeve. Wang Xianzhi fought with all his strength, Jian Jiuhuang broke through forty-nine moves with one hand and one sword, until he died.

Attachment 1: Jian Jiuhuang's meridians are all broken, sitting cross-legged on the top of the city, looking north, he will die without falling.

Attachment 2: After this battle, no one in the world dares to say that Jian Jiu Huang is far inferior to Sword God Deng Tai'a. Cao Guanzi in the Guanhai Tower praised the sword's ninety-one strokes, the sword's meaning is magnificent, and there is no other brilliant sword move in the world.

Attachment 3: Jianjiu's name is Liuqianli, as described by Jianjiuhuang himself.

Attachment 4: Jian Jiuhuang seems to have had a last word before his death, only Wang Xianzhi heard it. "

Xu Fengnian kept looking down at the letter, just looking at the side face, there was no abnormality, he was silent for a while, and finally said softly: "Sweet potato, cook some rice wine."

This is not the season to cook rice wine, and the crabs and perch in the lake are still young, so the maid said softly, "Your Highness, do you want to drink now?"

Xu Fengnian nodded and said, "I want to drink."

The sweet potato is exquisite, so he didn’t ask questions. He went to the cellar of Wutong Garden, where there were no surprises, no treasures, and no treasures. He brought a pot of Huijishan old rice wine, cooked a pot for His Royal Highness, and brought it to the small sandalwood table on the bamboo couch facing the window on the second floor of Wutong Garden. .

Xu Fengnian asked for two wine glasses, waved his hand, and invited all the maids, including sweet potatoes and green ants, away. The entire second floor filled with priceless antiques, calligraphy and paintings became more and more clean. Xu Fengnian poured two glasses of rice wine and sat quietly for a whole day. There was joy and sorrow on his face, and as dusk approached, he caught a glimpse of the embroidered knife that had been hanging on the wall for a long time as a beautiful decoration.

Xu Fengnian got off the bamboo couch, took off the more beautiful Xiudong with the name Wenqi Dao, and pulled out the scabbard, the cold air penetrated into his skin.

That time he stole Lao Huang's sword box without knowing his life and death, and he was half dead that day, which shows that the sword in the box is dignified. Xiudong and those swords are good things for cutting off people's heads. Yu's playthings are different. Maybe the housekeeper and servant who entered the mansion later can't imagine that His Royal Highness, who only knows how to have fun all day long, touched a knife very early for the first time, at the age of six.

Xu Fengnian went downstairs with a knife and saw a group of maids gathered in the courtyard with sad faces. Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "Everyone is busy with their own work, so it's good to put on a show. Otherwise, Manager Shen will see it and mutter about our Wutong Garden. Proper nonsense."

Xu Fengnian walked quickly into the bedroom, took out the cardinal box from under the bed, and found the stack of silk with charcoal to draw sword gestures, which was exactly the same as the cardinal box, and they all became relics.

Not to be disturbed, Xu Fengnian stared at it all night. Putting the simple sword manual back into the box, Xu Fengnian looked up and saw his father Xu Xiao sitting beside him at some point.

Xu Xiao asked: "Do you understand?"

Xu Fengnian shook his head and said, "I don't understand, Lao Huang is too poor a painter, and my comprehension is even worse."

Xu Xiao smiled, "Do you want to learn sword?"

Xu Fengnian nodded and said, "Study."

Knowing son Mo Ruofu, Xu Xiao asked: "After learning the sword, go to Wudi City to get back the six swords in the sword box?"

Xu Fengnian said calmly: "There's no reason to put it there so people can laugh at Lao Huang."

Xu Xiao said calmly: "Then can you get it back before you are fifty?"

Xu Fengnian sighed, "God knows."

Xu Xiao didn't have any consolation, but just stood up and left casually, leaving behind a neutral sentence: "Think it through before you talk to Dad."

Xu Fengnian looked at his father's back and asked, "What did Lao Huang say in the end?"

Xu Xiao stopped without turning around, and said, "We'll talk about it after you finish your studies."

In fact, what Lao Huang said is not important.

People are gone.

Six thousand miles away, a sword box stands on the top of the city.

But there are still more than a dozen jars of rice wine left.
