Chapter seven hundred and eighty sixth time passing
Construction of the inn started as scheduled, and everything was built in an orderly manner in the Xishan Bamboo Forest according to Yu Sheng's vision.
After the people in the town finished their work in the fields, the men also joined in, some were supervisors and some helped with the work, while the women were busy boiling water for cooking.
As for the original inn, it is just a little busier, and everything else remains the same.
But looking at the bustle of Xishan, the inn also added a lot of life.
Yu Sheng's back injury is much better, but Yu Sheng still likes to sit by the lake. After getting tired from practicing calligraphy, he closes his eyes and takes a nap and swims in the water.
This feeling is very strange. His mind seems to be attached to the water, drifting with the current, or swimming upstream, or teasing the fish and shrimp in the lake.
However, the time is not very long. For the rest of my life, I will experience another awakening without being able to find the city lord.
The setting sun dyed the reeds nearby red, and the breeze blew, bringing with it a hint of warmth and the smell of approaching summer.
The city lord put a piece of clothing on him and sat next to him and looked at him: "Your temper has been much calmer in recent days, which is not like you."
Yu Sheng looked at the lake and said, "Without the big tree to protect us from the wind and rain, we have to worry about many things. Of course we have to be calm."
"Besides," he turned around seriously, "don't you think I'm much more handsome when I'm calm?"
"Hey", the city lord pressed his wind-torn hair behind his ears, "I take back what I just said and pretend I didn't say it."
"To be honest, I am planning to grow a beard." Yu Sheng gestured, "Being more mature can avoid being looked down upon by others."
"The beard is prickly, you have to keep it..." The city lord stopped at this point.
Yu Sheng took her hand and asked, "Why don't you keep it?" He smiled wickedly.
"Just keep it, what can I do?" The city lord rolled his eyes at him, turned his head away arrogantly, and looked at the lake in the distance.
Yu Sheng pulled her into his arms.
"The beard pricks people. If I grow it, who can it prick?" Yu Sheng smiled, lifted the city lord's chin with his hand, and kissed it gently.
I don’t know how long it took for my lips to part, but I still held the city lord tightly for the rest of my life. It seemed that once we separated, we would never be able to hold him again.
"I just want to live an ordinary life with you, but the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop." Yu Sheng buried his head in the arms of the city lord, "I only dare to give out a sound of joy."
The city lord touched his head and was about to speak when he suddenly heard someone say: "Hey, I didn't come at the right time."
Yu Sheng raised his head and saw that at some point, a person appeared in front of him. He seemed to have emerged from the lake.
This man is about thirty years old, wearing gray clothes and a jade pendant hanging on his waist. He has a handsome face, is free and elegant.
But his eyes made Yu Sheng unhappy, and he kept looking at the city lord up and down.
"What are you looking at?" Yu Sheng held the city lord in his arms and leaned forward, "Look again, I will dig out your tricks."
"Haha, she's so beautiful, wouldn't it be a pity not to look at her?" The visitor sat on the stool opposite him in a familiar manner, reaching out to grab the teapot on the heavy stone table.
"It's not for you to see." Yu Sheng said, stretching out his hand to grab the teapot that the visitor was about to take.
He shot quickly, as fast as lightning. The man was much slower. Even if the teapot was taken away three times in his life, he still couldn't catch the teapot.
But when Yu Sheng grabbed the teapot, someone picked it with his index finger.
Suddenly, the teapot in Yu Sheng's hand disappeared and he returned to his seat on the stone table, but his hand stayed on the way to grab the teapot.
I don't know what magic trick this man used. I was stunned for a moment and continued to grab the teapot, and held it firmly in my hand.
The person who came here picked it again with his index finger, and the teapot returned to its distant position, and Yu Sheng's hand returned to the way it was grabbing.
"Hey!" Yu Sheng was unwilling to give in, and reached out to grab it again. It was still the same as before, but the hand of the person who came was holding the teacup leisurely, filling himself a cup of tea.
He raised his tea cup, smiled at Yu Sheng, "Thank you", and was about to drink it all in one gulp, but the tea did not fall into his mouth.
The visitor took a curious look and saw that the tea had turned into ice.
The visitor picked it up with his index finger and returned to where the tea had frozen. However, I couldn't move, and the tea instantly froze again.
"Okay, if we continue to fight, we won't be able to get out of this reincarnation." The visitor put down the teacup and looked at Yu Sheng, "Don't look at me like that, you know me too."
"Oh?" Yu Sheng remained indifferent. The city lord wanted to stand up from behind him, but he stopped him.
"I think I saved your life. When Blackwater City wanted to settle a score with you, I was the one who suppressed it."
The visitor pointed to the Thunder Dragon that landed not far away, "They are my descendants."
"Lei Ze, God of Thunder?" Yu Sheng suddenly wondered.
The God of Thunder nodded gracefully, "Exactly," he pointed at the tea cup, "Can you drink this cup of tea now?"
"Natural." Yu Sheng thought, and the tea cup turned into water in an instant.
However, Thor took a sip and put it down again, "The tea is cold and tastes bad. Do you have any wine?"
"I'll get it." The city lord stood up and left.
Seeing that Yu Sheng had been looking at him, the God of Thunder smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will never steal the wife of a younger generation, let alone the wife of the son of King Donghuang."
"But, seriously speaking, if I had known how handsome the mayor of Yangzhou City was, I would have snatched him back to be his wife."
The God of Thunder looked regretful, "It's all my fault that those people always offered beautiful women to me, stayed in bed all day, and abandoned this world of mortals."
Yu Sheng listened to him with no expression on his face and just said: "The King of Donghuang has changed hands now, and I am not the son of King Donghuang."
"I know that the new King of Donghuang is still my brother, but I don't like him." Thunder God shook his head, "He likes quietness, and I like liveliness."
"Relatively speaking, I prefer your mother to be the King of the East Wilderness. We both like people." Thunder God said.
"It's a pity that she doesn't know where she is trapped now. How about you, the old lady, helping me, that would be in line with your wishes?" Yu Sheng said.
"No, no," Lei Shen shook his head hurriedly, "I don't hear what happens outside the bed, and I won't do anything to offend Zhu Yin."
While talking, the city lord brought a jar of Shaoxing wine, a plate of salted dried tofu, and a plate of pig head meat, and placed them one by one on the stone table.
The God of Thunder took the wine jar, opened the mud seal, and smelled it, "The wine is good, but it's a pity that it's still a little short of heat."
"What kind of heat?" Yu Sheng was puzzled.
"It's not old enough and I can't smell the mellow fragrance of time." The God of Thunder grabbed the wine jar and said to Yu Sheng.
"The Shaoxing wine from 1983 has been used up. Now this is the best." Yu Sheng said.
"It's okay, I'll let you try the three thousand-year-old wine." After Lei Shen's voice fell, he held the wine jar with his hand and traced the edge of the wine jar with his hand.
In the blink of an eye, the red paper affixed to the wine jar turned from bright to dull and white, and then the words disappeared.
The wine jar was also much lighter. The God of Thunder took the teapot, poured out the tea inside, and poured all the wine in the jar into it. Only three or four cups were left.
"Please." The God of Thunder smiled and threw the wine jar into the lake behind him.
The wine jar was still in the air, but when the wind blew it, it turned into ashes and disappeared between heaven and earth.
Aunt Qing poured wine for them and poured it over. The wine was so fragrant and mellow that people would get drunk even before they drank it.
"Good wine." Yu Sheng smelled it, took a sip, and looked up at the God of Thunder, "What a handsome kung fu."
The God of Thunder took a sip and said, "It is my ability to seize the merits of time and be a passerby in time. It is not worth boasting about."
The city lord also took a sip, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Seeing that the two of them were not paying attention, he quietly took another sip, and within a few words between Yu Sheng and Thor, he finished the cup.
"I wonder why Mr. Thunder God came to the inn to see me. Isn't it just for drinking?" Yu Sheng said, quietly pushing the wine glass at hand to the city lord.
The city lord endured it, but still picked up the wine glass.
