Chapter 249, please have a drink
The man in gray robe looked at Li Ye and smiled and said, "I think you have a good attitude. Maybe in a few years, you will be able to practice the best Buddhist teachings in Prajna Temple. Since you and I meet on the wasteland, it means you and I have a fate. I will invite you to have a drink of my own bar."
After saying that, he drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp, gently shook his left hand and untied the wine gourd hanging around his waist, stretched out his right hand to push the wine plug, and poured wine into the tea cups of the two of them.
For a moment, the inn space emitted a strong aroma of wine.
The man in gray robe reached out and picked up the teacup, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and said lightly: "This wine should only be found in heaven, and it is rare to drink it on earth. Come and try my wine."
Li Ye looked at him in surprise, smiled embarrassedly, and said softly: "Senior...I don't have the alcohol tolerance. In short, I will get drunk after drinking two glasses, and I will be rude in front of the gentleman at that time."
When the man in gray robe heard this, he laughed and said, "How many times can you get drunk in life? If you have wine in the glass, you must drink it all!"
When Li Ye heard this, he couldn't refuse again, so he had to pick up the wine glass and say to the man in the gray robe: "In this way, it's better to obey your orders than respect for me. Thank you for your good wine."
The man in the gray robe drank all the wine in his hand, and Li Ye also held the cup and drank all the wine in his glass one by one...
"Okay, okay! Let me tell you the origin of this wine. It was brewed by me some years ago. I remember that it was Jingzhe that day, and the weather was slightly cool... A friend of mine who has been many years promised to come to see me that day, but she didn't come that day."
"Although I like her very much, I never told her because I was afraid that I would lose her after I said it...I was jealous of those people around her who had been pursuing her. Although I also wanted to know what it felt like to be liked by her, I dragged it on for many years... Until that year, Jingzhe, she did not come to see me again...I always thought we would be together because I felt that she liked me..."
Hearing this, Li Ye suddenly remembered what Nalan Yu said to him in the backyard of Youjian Inn. He couldn't help but be stunned as he thought about it.
"She has never said she likes me, but I know there are some things I don't have to say...I just hope she says one thing, but she always says...I'm too confident and thought she would marry me..."
The man in gray robe became more and more excited the more he spoke.
A glimmer suddenly flashed in Li Ye's eyes, and he suddenly remembered the young lady on Phoenix Mountain.
"That day I made new wine while drinking, and shed tears... for her and for myself... I don't know why I did this, but at that moment, I couldn't control myself. When the wine was brewed, the tears on my face slowly dried up... I don't know if the woman I love the most would shed tears for me."
Li Ye blurted out and said, "Definitely!"
The man in gray robe quietly glanced at the boy opposite him. He didn't expect Li Ye would answer him with such certainty. He picked up the wine gourd and poured wine into the glasses of the two.
"Many years have passed... I really want to forget everything that happened that day, but my only shortcoming is that I have a good memory and I can never forget what I should forget... Later, I left the place where I lived for decades and wandered around the five realms."
"As you walk, you're here... but there will always be one day when you can't walk, when you see snowflakes flying in the snow in the evening, you will think of a name and a song in your life... At that moment, you will know that the one you love the most is only one person..."
"The glass of wine you drank was what I brewed that day... Later, I wanted to brew it again, and tried many methods, and found that I could never taste the wine again... After drinking this most gourd wine, there was no more in the world!"
The man in the gray robe looked a little down. He raised his wine glass and signaled to Li Yi, then placed it gently on his lips, and slowly tasted it bit by bit like Li Ye before.
It doesn't seem like drinking or drinking tea, but it's more like saying goodbye to your loved one...
Li Ye's heart was already filled with shocking waves. He remembered the scene when Nalan Yu was drinking with Hua Tianxia in the Tea House.
I remembered what Nalan Yu said, as if it was a copy of the man in gray robe in front of me...
Looking at Li Ye's dazed look, the man in the gray robe grinned and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I didn't expect that I would meet a soulmate who can't drink... Hahaha! If you and I meet you again in the future, I will teach you how to make a jar of wine that belongs only to you."
After saying these words, the man in gray robe gently put down his wine glass and put away his wine gourd.
Standing up, looking at Li Ye's obsessive look, he raised his head and laughed a few times, turned around, and walked out of the inn door...
Li Ye, who was confused, murmured: "Not long ago, there was a person who told me that there was a kind of wine called "Drunk and Dreaming". After drinking it, you can tell you to forget anything you have done before. She said that the biggest trouble of a person is that he has a good memory. If you can forget everything, every day in the future will be a new beginning. How happy will you be?"
"Of course I didn't believe it, so I bought two jars from her. I didn't have gold coins in my hand and said I would owe it first. But after I drank that jar of drunkenness and dreams, I really forgot everything. From then on, my heart will always be engraved with a woman's name..."
I savored the strong alcohol in my mouth, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers and a hint of astringent resentment.
Li Ye sighed softly and said to himself: "So, this is what Brother Nalan gave me to drink, "Drunk and dreaming". It turns out that this man in gray robe is a drunken senior..."
Last time he drank too hard in Huamanlou, and he got drunk after two glasses. This time he could finally slowly taste the taste of this wine.
While thinking about the story of Nalan Yu, he reminisces about the words the man in the gray robe just said to him.
He looked out the window and said softly: "I don't know if you stayed in Fengyun City or have returned to Phoenix Mountain at this time..."
Looking at the amber wine in the cup, Li Ye took it up and put it on his lips and sipped it gently like a tea taste.
"...One night I suddenly wanted to drink, but I drank the half-barrel... I suddenly realized that it was just a joke."
"The more you want to know if you have forgotten someone, the more you remember. I have heard people say that when you can no longer have it, the only thing you can do is to make yourself not forget."
He was worried, drank all the drunkenness in the cup, looked at the teapot on the table, and shook his head with a wry smile.
He said secretly: "After drinking this drunken dream, he will never be in the mood to taste the taste of Qingcheng spring tea."
He glanced at the guy at the counter, reached out and touched his faintly painful arm, sighed softly, got up and walked upstairs of the inn.
When he pushed open the door, the gentleman was already sitting at the table, looking at Li Ye with a flushed face, frowned, and said, "It's getting late, so I'll ask your master's wife to go downstairs to have supper."
Li Ye looked up at the husband, but he replied without knowing that he was so happy. After a while, he murmured: "Sir, I have no taste. I want to sleep for a while, so I won't eat dinner. You can go with my master's wife and Mu Mu."
He didn't take off his coat, lay on the bed side, and slowly closed his eyes.
The gentleman smelled Li Ye's alcohol, frowned, and said to himself: "It's so good, who made you drink again?" Looking at Li Ye on the bed without reporting, the gentleman did not call him again, but got up and pushed open the door...
Li Ye, who was unable to drink, fell into a state of confusion after a while, and had no idea that the gentleman frowned and pushed the door away. He was half asleep and half awake, and said softly:
I remember being young at that time.
You love to chat, I love to laugh
Once, standing side by side under a tree
The wind is on the treetops and the birds are yelling
Somehow I fell asleep
How many flowers fall in dreams
I don’t know where I am drunk, but I only regard the Western Regions as the Eastern Region. Imagine a beautiful future with almost zero possibility with the young lady on Phoenix Mountain. Half-dream, he was half-dream and half-drunk, and two lines of tears quietly slid down his eyes...
......
Li Hongxiu and Mu Mu were so hungry that they ran downstairs of the inn and ordered food.
Looking at the gentleman who was walking downstairs with frown, Li Hongxiu was stunned and said, "Husband, where did that boy Li Ye go? Why didn't you ask him to come down to have dinner together? He was frightened today and was injured."
Mu Mudi stared at the gentleman walking down with his eyes wide open.
The gentleman looked at the two people who were waiting for him at the table, put away his frown and said lightly: "He said he didn't want to eat, so he fell asleep in the bed."
"He ran for a long time today, fought with people and then survived. He consumed so much physical strength, why didn't he want to eat?" Li Hongxiu also frowned.
Mu Mu pushed the chair behind him, looked at Li Hongxiu and said, "Master's wife, wait a moment, I'll go up and pull my brother down."
The gentleman looked at Mu Mu and said, "Don't go, he has drunk wine, you can't wake him up."
Mu Mu was stunned and looked at Li Hongxiu and said, "My master's wife is not eating, brother drinks that wine? I remember he doesn't have the peach blossom crisp in his bag, so where did he get the wine?"
Li Hongxiu also looked at the gentleman with a confused look on his face.
When the gentleman saw the two of them, he waved his hands and said, "Don't look at me, he changed his clothes and went downstairs after taking a shower. When he came back, he was drunk. Before I could ask him, he fell asleep on the bed."
"This little guy is getting less and less able to understand him. After being injured so badly, he didn't rest upstairs, so he actually ran downstairs to find wine."
Li Hongxiu said quietly.
The guy was holding the food onto the table. The gentleman looked at him and asked, "Did the boy who came with me just bought the wine in the store just now?"
The guy put down the meal and said with a smile: "Just Mr. went downstairs and ordered a pot of spring tea. He was drinking a man in gray robe in his 50s... Later, the old man in gray robe poured two glasses of wine for the gentleman, and after drinking, he left..."
The gentleman was stunned for a moment and said, "Is that man in gray robe a customer in the store?"
The guy replied, "No, he passed by here."
The gentleman nodded and waved his hand and said, "Thank you."
