Liu Mu clearly remembered that the three of him rode through this place a few months ago, when the earth was still dark green. When they returned, there were more than twenty horses, and the rumble of horse hooves was like thunder. There is a wine shop nearby, and you can see the tall green wine flag from a distance. The three of them stopped and drank a few jars of wine that day. After giving orders to Iron Banner, the whole team of horses and carriages headed towards the two lonely low-room wine shops at the foot of the mountain.
Although the wine is not fine wine, it is not that Liu Mu is greedy for it. Just because that place faced the green mountains and crossed the Surabaya River, there were many tourists in spring, so many people would feel drunk even if they drank wine mixed with water. Looking at the **** men and women who were laughing and having sex, drinking a lot of wine, you can feel that you are very close to the world. This feeling is something he can never forget, and it is also what he is pursuing.
In just a few months, everything changed. The girl who sang in the past has disappeared, and she may have been a woman long ago. The green hills in my memory also appeared gray and desolate. Only the small wine shop is still there, and the green wine flag has not faded with time, allowing Liu Mu to capture the memories of that day without any obstacles.
When Liu Mu stepped out of the carriage with the support of Tie Qi and landed on the ground, the biting cold wind hit him, causing a sting on his face. The cold air entered his throat, causing a cough. Liu Mu felt like he was wearing a thousand-pound shackles that he could not shake off or escape. He could only bend down and twitch in place. Shivering, he took out an exquisite wine bottle from his arms, poured it down his throat, suppressed the harsh cough, and then walked towards the wine shop.
The pine wood fence was rotten and could not survive the cold winter. It swayed a few times in the cold wind and then quietly collapsed. Liu Mu didn't care and continued walking towards the store. There was no curtain on the door of the wine shop, and three or two old wooden tables could be vaguely seen inside the open door. A middle-aged man with a somewhat prosperous body and a mustache was dozing at the moment. The wrinkles on his face showed that he was not too young.
Following Liu Mu's low cough, the middle-aged man raised his head from his arms on the table and said with a smile: "The cook is dead and I can't do business recently. If you want to eat something hot, take advantage of the fact that it's still early. , go to the county seat."
Liu Mu recognized him as the shopkeeper that day, but at this moment his face no longer had the treacherous look. He smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, don't you recognize me?" After seeing the shopkeeper shake his head, he Someone said: "You don't know me, but I know you are the shopkeeper here, and you can also sell wine mixed with water!"
The middle-aged man was not embarrassed at all when Liu Mu said this. He looked more serious and said: "May I ask your distinguished guest's name?"
"The general is drunk!" Liu Mu reported the name of the drink just like that day.
The man seemed to have suddenly remembered something. After laughing a few times, he sounded a little apologetic: "There is plenty of wine, but the cook died and I went back to mourn."
"Where is the kitchen? We brought the cook and the ingredients." Tie Qi took a few steps forward and asked the shopkeeper.
It was no surprise that Liu Mu and others brought cooks with them when traveling. In the memory of shopkeeper Luo Er, there were always several young men from wealthy families who came to have a spring outing every year. Those people all brought their own cooks. He thought that Liu Mu and those There is no difference between people. Pointing to the location of the kitchen, he stood up and waited for Liu Mu's other requests. When Liu Mu sat down, the cloak on his body was naturally untied and put away by the iron flag. Liu Mu smiled and said to Luo Er: "I want to drink, is there any one without water?"
"Yes, distinguished guest, please wait a moment." Only then did Luo Er's face show a trace of unnaturalness. Hearing Liu Mu's request for wine, he hurriedly ran towards the backyard wine cellar.
Liu Mu picked up the wine bowl that Luo Er had filled with a natural expression. After taking a deep sniff, he took a big gulp. The wine bowl was empty within a few seconds. He put down the wine bowl and waited until Luo Er filled it up again, then said slowly: "Good wine is for drinking, not for wasting. You must remember this in the future, otherwise you will die!" Seeing Luo Er nodding hurriedly, He picked up the wine bowl again and said: "Very good. I have been traveling in the world for many years and I only understand this truth. Now that I have given it to you, I wonder what you are going to say in return?"
When Luo Er saw Liu Mu and his party, all of them were riding horses and wielding swords. He knew that they were experienced bandits or gangsters. But he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Liu Mu, who looked like a handsome young man, would be able to commit such blackmail, and his eyes were suddenly filled with disbelief and despair. In the more than ten years he has been running a liquor store, he has always been careful to serve the people who pass by, not daring to make any mistakes. Today is probably the end.
"Huh?" Liu Mu was a little unhappy, and the hand holding the wine bowl couldn't help but move closer to Luo Er again.
Tie Qi did not have as good a temper as Liu Mu, so he immediately slapped the demented Luo Er awake and scolded: "You are a murderer. My young master brings you wine. It is your blessing that has been cultivated for hundreds of years. How dare you grind!"
Luo Er, who woke up after being slapped by Tie Qi, heard Tie Qi yelling and scolding him and wanted to hug Tie Qi and kiss him twice to show his excitement. Immediately, he nodded and bowed, took the wine bowl in Liu Mu's hand with both hands, and as if he was afraid of spilling the wine, he stretched his neck, put his mouth up to it, and drank down the whole bowl of strong wine without leaving a drop. His face was as red as a prawn, he was having a little silly fun, and he fell to the ground drunkenly.
The corners of Liu Mu's mouth curled up nicely, and he ignored Luo Er who was lying on the ground humming drunkenly, and said to the other people who were laughing: "Everyone sit down and have a drink. This weather is suitable for drinking." After saying that, Sanjin and several brothers came out carrying a big pot of meat and a steaming jar of wine. He smiled slightly and said: "The old lady who wasn't the cook in this wretched place is dead, but the boss is dead. There isn't even a guy who can take advantage of it!"
Liu Mu picked up an empty bowl again and waited for Tie Qi to fill up the warm wine. He sniffed the tangy smell of wine, said "good wine" with a cheerful face, raised his head and swallowed it in big gulps. Before the wine bowl could be placed on the table, a violent cough sounded again.
Tie Qi sighed and patted Liu Mu's back slowly, hoping to relieve the cough, but said: "Young Master, if you are weak, it is better to drink less. Today is different from the past, so you must be more careful. "
After Liu Mu stopped coughing, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he turned around and said: "If I don't drink just because of this cough, then what fun can I have in my life? Stop working and sit down." Have a drink!"
"I won't drink." There was a rare determination in Tie Qi's tone.
"Why?" Liu Mu couldn't imagine. Is this the same Iron Banner who used to drink and drink? He was completely restrained. Like the ruined locust flowers in October, they are stubborn but have no fragrance.
Tie Qi turned around and glanced at Shitou, who was already sitting on the altar, and then said: "Because Shitou has already drunk!"
Liu Mu understood what Tie Qi meant, but it was precisely because he understood that he felt even more uncomfortable. The most regrettable thing in the world is to grow old gracefully. Not only beautiful people can say this with emotion. Tie Qi has been following him for a long time, and he still remembers that oath. He looked up at Tie Qi's crow's feet that had appeared since I don't know when, and said loudly: "You are already capable of killing me!"
