Chapter Eighteen
The ten people were all startled when they heard this. They looked at each other and smacked the table together, "Wonderful!"
Drunk men always do whatever they want, not to mention there are nine other drunk men who are teasing and inciting them. They don’t need anyone to give orders to organize, and they immediately get busy in Changle Building.
When ancient people needed to offer sacrifices, they often had incense, candles, yellow paper and other things at home. There was no shortage of roosters in the restaurant, and they kept a few in the backyard.
The spacious lobby of Changle Building was cleared, and the largest Eight Immortals table was carried over, and candles and incense burners were placed. Pig heads, whole chickens, pastries, and fruits found in the kitchen were placed on it.
Li Jixun lit a pile of yellow paper and threw it into the brazier. Zhao Kuangyin took out the knife and chopped off the chicken head. Although there was no head, the colorful wings of the rooster were still fluttering, so he simply stuffed the chicken neck into it.
Inside the jar.
Afterwards, Zhao Kuangyin threw aside the chicken that was no longer flapping, and each of the ten people took out a knife and bled one by one on their fingers. When they were all done, he turned around and looked at Xu Xian, "It's your turn to be free!"
Xu Xian pointed to his nose and said, "Is it also for me?"
"Of course it's your fault. Didn't you hear that there were eleven people? Are you unwilling or really look down on us?"
"Yes! Yes! This is my honor..." Before Xu Xian could finish his words, his arm had been pulled over, and his finger was cut with a knife. Dark red blood oozed from the finger, and there was a click.
Fall into the wine jar.
Everyone took a black pottery bowl and held it in front of them. The eldest Li Jixun stepped forward to pick up the wine jar, tilted the jar slightly, and the red wine flowed out, and he filled it up for everyone one by one.
"As evidence by the emperor and the empress, today eleven of my brothers have become righteous brothers here. I, Li Jixun, have sworn with my blood to watch and help each other with my other brothers. If I violate the rules, everyone will be punished!"
"As evidence by the Emperor and the Empress, today eleven of my brothers are sworn brothers here. I, Han Chongyun, swear by my blood..."
Everyone swore to the sky one by one, drank all the blood wine in their hands, smashed the black pottery bowl on the ground, and bowed three times to the altar table. Then they stood up with a big smile and bowed their hands to each other.
"Brother!"
"brother!"
Everyone else has brothers and brothers, only Li Jixun and Xu Xian are different, but Li Jixun calls everyone he meets brother, while Xu Xian, on the other hand, calls everyone brother he meets.
It's nothing to suffer a small loss on the lips, the key is to have big gains in the future. Five or six years later, it was this gang that used the imperial army under its control to push Zhao Kuangyin to the throne. The worst-successful person among them was also a military governor.
Seeing them carrying wine jars out from behind the counter, Xu Xian didn't mind. Compared with a Jiedu envoy, a few jars of wine were worth nothing. Thinking about being called "Ling Gong" in the future, he felt more...
I feel happy after drinking ice water on the dog days of summer.
There was no money anyway, and everyone exchanged glasses without any scruples, no different from a child dropped into a pile of snacks. As the youngest person, Xu Xian had to toast people one by one, and also had to drink wine one by one.
For the first time in his life, he realized what it meant to drink fragments.
Maybe he was nervous and tired from the journey, or maybe he had too much fun last night, but Xu Xian slept soundly and had sweet dreams.
"Liying...Liying..."
In the dream, Xu Xian pouted and kissed the woman he loved. Unexpectedly, Fu Liying, who had looked gentle just now, turned to spit at him with a stern look on her face.
The spitting came so violently that it drenched Xu Xian, causing him to sit up suddenly, his heart beating wildly, and his mouth breathing heavily.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhao Ningxiu standing in front of him with a bucket in one hand and one hand on her hips. Xu Xian couldn't help but cursed: "You are crazy, you poured water on me so early in the morning."
Zhao Ningxiu pointed around, "Whether it's me or you who is crazy, you should see clearly!"
Xu Xian looked around and found that he was sitting on the Eight Immortals' table where the sacrifices were placed yesterday. He looked around and saw a mess everywhere he looked. There were wine jars lying here and there, dishes broken and dishes broken.
There are messy tables, chairs and benches. No wonder Zhao Ningxiu is so angry.
He said sarcastically: "I drank too much last night and lost my sense of proportion. Please forgive me, madam."
"I'm sorry, you guys drank seven or eight jars of good wine in one night and made a mess in the house. I'm afraid we won't have to do business this morning."
Not only did Zhao Ningxiu nag him, but Xiaocan and Aunt Liu also criticized him verbally. Xu Xian had no choice but to beg for mercy, working as a cleaner while secretly cursing those unreliable brothers.
Xu Xian didn't finish cleaning until noon. He wanted to take Zhao Ningxiu upstairs to have a try, but she asked Xu Xian to prepare food for A Bao.
Mentioning Uncle Abao, Xu Xian got a headache. When he was in the palace, he was obviously a cute little cute boy, but after returning home, he turned into a slut within a few days.
Every day, Po lay on a chair in the courtyard with his legs crossed like an old man, waiting for the scavenger to bring the peeled bamboo shoots to him. If the bamboo shoots were not to his taste, he would definitely spray the scavenger with food residue all over his face.
If he was just torturing the family, that would be it, but he often climbed over the wall and went out to beg for food and drink in Liuhe Bay, and sometimes went to bathe in the pond where women washed clothes.
Last time, he dragged a young daughter-in-law into a trap, drowned her, and even tore off her hakama, which made Xu Xian come to apologize and apologize. Now everyone in Liuhe Bay knows that the Xu family has a greedy mouth.
Another lustful spotted pig.
Guo Wei is a responsible pet owner. He does not just suck cats. He even considers how to settle Abao after his death. The back garden of his mansion is full of fine arrow bamboos, which are lush and lush.
It was eerie, and Xu Xian felt uncomfortable when he thought that there might be dozens of innocent souls from the Guo family living here.
Hearing the rustling of bamboo leaves in the wind, he couldn't help but tremble, fearing that something might come out. Even if Guo Wei allowed him to live here, he didn't have the courage. There were only three people living in such a gloomy mansion, and he would get scared.
of.
A large bundle of bamboo was chopped, enough for Po to waste for a few days. Xu Xian tied it up with a rope and dragged it out. It was not easy to carry something that weighed more than two to three hundred kilograms. He was out of breath after not going very far.
Next time I come, I will definitely find a few more people to dismantle the moon door leading to the back garden so that the carriage can enter easily.
He had just stopped to take a breath when he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "You, you... you need... do you need help?"
The voice was weak and intermittent, as if it came out of the ground. Xu Xian suddenly felt a chill coming from the root of his tail, rushing along his spine to the back of his head, and then spread to his entire body, followed by a shiver.
Xu Xian whipped out his sword, turned around and shouted, "I'll chop you to death if you keep pretending to be crazy!"
