In the evening, two people covered in dust and talking and laughing came to Su Zhou city's gate. They were Xiao Li and Ling Qingyun who had returned from the martial arts competition. They chatted and laughed as they drank the leftovers Ling Qingyun had brought with him. Xiao Li said, "Big Brother Ling, this wine tastes great, but it's really sour."
Ling Qingyun said, "Really? I didn't think so before, but now it tastes a little sour. "
Xiao Li said, "Hehe, you finally managed to drink it out. Since that's the case, then we should go and have a good drink. "
Ling Qingyun said, "Okay, let's go have a good time today. I know of a place with the best wines. "
Xiao Li said, "What Big Brother Ling introduced must not be wrong."
Ling Qingyun led the way in front, and today he seemed especially happy, a trace of a smile actually appearing on his face. Xiao Li followed behind him and asked, "Big brother Ling, you didn't perform this afternoon. Is there anything wrong with it?"
Ling Qingyun said, "It's nothing. We always go there when we want to. If anyone didn't go, it must be because they have something on their mind. The class monitor won't ask."
Xiao Li said, "Oh, so that's the case. Then, are you familiar with the other members of the team?"
Ling Qingyun turned around, looked at him and said: "I didn't come into contact with them because I never thought of going in contact with them. Alas, if you hadn't come looking for me, I wouldn't have returned to this world. I think they're just like me, but you'd better not mess with them. I feel like they are very much against outsiders. "
Xiao Li said, "That's right, I have the same feeling. I already sensed that you were different from them. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to rashly look for you. "
Ling Qingyun said, "So that's how it is. How dare you cause trouble for me? You think I'm easy to bully."
Xiao Li said, "Hur hur, if I don't bully you, who should I bully?"
Ling Qingyun revealed a slight smile, "Actually, when you came looking for me, I already sensed that you didn't have any evil intentions. I don't know why, but we seem to know each other very well. "
Xiao Li laughed, "Then it seems that the heavens are destined for you to be bullied by me."
Ling Qingyun said: "Ha, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's go and get drunk. " As they spoke, they arrived at the mouth of an alley. Ling Qingyun pointed at the alley and said, "It's here, do you smell any strong alcohol smell? How tempting is that?" As he spoke, he gulped.
Xiao Li smiled slightly and said, "It seems that even if I don't come today, big brother Ling will still bring me here."
Ling Qingyun said, "That's right, that's right. The alcohol addiction doesn't go unnoticed. Every time I come out, my feet go out of control and I go to the place where the wine smells. " Ling Qingyun led the way into the alley, with Xiao Li following closely behind.
Xiao Li looked around and asked, "Big brother, why is there someone who opened the inn in such a deep alley?"
Ling Qingyun said, "Why not open the hotel here?"
Xiao Li said, "People always want to make money when they open a shop, would people come and visit when they open a shop here?"
Ling Qingyun said: "Why aren't there any visitors? As long as the items in your store are good and unique to the extreme, then there will naturally be people coming to visit you and there will be more and more of them. "
Xiao Li replied, "Yes, that's true. But if no one comes, how can we find the things here?"
Ling Qingyun said, "Okay, brother, you're right on point. Have you ever heard such an old saying? " Xiao Li hurriedly asked, "What's that old saying?"
Ling Qingyun said: "That is, the wine is not afraid of the alleyway being deep. As long as one was a good drinker, he or she would be able to smell the fragrance of the good wine when he or she passed by this place. Do you think such a person can resist the temptation? "
Xiao Li nodded and said, "I've learnt my lesson." Ling Qingyun said, "We're here." In the alleyway, Xiao Li saw an old room with a banner hanging beside the door. It said: A bowl of tears. Xiao Li asked, "Is this the place?" Ling Qingyun nodded.
Xiao Li said, "Why would they hang such a banner?"
Ling Qingyun said, "We'll know when the time comes." As he spoke, he quickly walked towards the store.
Xiao Li hurriedly followed him. When he arrived at the store, he saw that it was already full and all the tables were occupied. Xiao Li said, "This is really unexpected. I didn't expect there to be so many people here. When I entered the door, I was still doubting my brother's words." Ling Qingyun smiled and said: "Did you not hear anyone outside the door, so you guessed that there are no guests here?" "Whatever, we're here for a drink, not to chat." At this moment, a person walked in front of them and said, "The two of you, please come to the second hall. There are seats there." He then turned around and led the way to the back door of the hall. Ling Qingyun followed him to the back of the hall.
Seeing Ling Qingyun following behind him, Xiao Li hurriedly followed behind her. Along the way, he discovered that one of the specialties of this shop was that the tables here were very small and were only enough for one person to sit at. Therefore, the people here all drank the wine on the table by themselves and didn't talk to each other. After passing through the door, Xiao Li found that the interior was much larger. However, there were many people inside the room. If it wasn't for the experience he had previously, Xiao Li would definitely have been shocked. There were so many people in such a large hall, yet it was so quiet that it seemed like no one was there. Other than the small collision between the wine pot and the table, there was no other sound.
Ling Qingyun followed behind that person. That person did not stop his footsteps and walked towards a corner. There were two empty tables in the corner, and the man pointed to them and walked straight back. Ling Qingyun pointed to a table at the side and said in a low voice, "Brother, let's sit down and wait. Someone will bring the wine over soon."
Xiao Li sat down and said, "Big brother, why is it so quiet here? "It's scary. It doesn't look like any other hotel at all." Ling Qingyun smiled and said, "The hotel doesn't necessarily have to be lively. We have to shout and swing our fists, and we have to curse continuously. It can also be this quiet."
Xiao Li nodded before asking, "Big brother, you haven't answered me yet. Why are there such banners hanging at the entrance of the shop?" Ling Qingyun's face revealed a mysterious look, "Don't be impatient, you'll know soon enough. Look at the wine, it's been a long time since I've had a drink here. " The expression on Ling Qingyun's face was getting richer and richer. Seeing his change, Xiao Li was extremely happy. He could finally relax. Although Ling Qingyun hadn't completely gotten rid of the obstacles in her heart, as long as she could communicate with others, everything would be fine. Of course, she still needed a long period of time to get rid of the shadow in her heart. He did not need to worry about his body. With his martial arts cultivation, this level of mental injury was nothing. "It looks like today's time wasn't wasted. Not only did he save a life, he even made a good friend.
At this moment, a waiter brought over two jugs of wine and gave Xiao Li and Ling Qingyun each a jug. Xiao Li saw that the jug of wine was not that big and was less than a jin in size, so he said, "Second brother, give us two more jugs. Today we are going to have a good drink. "
The waiter looked at him, shook his head, and left.
Xiao Li remained silent as Ling Qingyun grabbed onto him and shook her head. Xiao Li looked at Ling Qingyun with a puzzled expression as he said, "Big brother, why are you pulling me? "Does this mean that you can enjoy this little bit of wine?"
Ling Qingyun smiled and said, "Let's drink this first, we'll talk after we finish drinking it." Xiao Li didn't say anything more. He sat down, picked up the wine jug, and started to drink.
Seeing him like this, Ling Qingyun hurriedly opened his wine pot, but there was only half a pot left. Ling Qingyun said, "Brother, drink slowly. This wine is so strong that it's scary. Don't drink too quickly."
Xiao Li smiled, "Oh, so this wine is really strong. No wonder you don't want me to drink too much. "But I just drank it. It's not that strong." Ling Qingyun laughed, "You don't know, this wine tastes sweet and mellow when you drink it, but the aftereffects are too fierce. I can only drink two pots before I get drunk. " Xiao Li was slightly surprised as he said, "It can't be. I drank half of the pot in one breath." "What should we do? Big Bro is going to carry me back later."
Ling Qingyun laughed and said, "Brother, let's not bother with it today. Let's drink to our heart's content. Who cares if he's drunk or not?" Xiao Li said, "Alright, let him be. I didn't even taste this wine just now. I'll have to taste this half pot properly."
Xiao Li picked up the wine jug and gulped it down. He kept it in his mouth for a long time before slowly swallowing it down. If he drank more, he would drink more. However, there were only a few small drops in his mouth. Xiao Li opened his eyes and looked towards Ling Qingyun, only to see him holding the wine cup with his eyes closed, drinking one cup after another. As he drank, his eyebrows creased deeper, the more he drank, the more he drank, the more he moved, the more tragic his actions became. Seeing this, Xiao Li frowned. He took the wine pot from Ling Qingyun's hands and poured it into his own mouth. He drank it all up and shouted, "Good wine, good wine! This wine is too delicious!" He had never tasted such a good wine before. He really didn't know how to describe it. "Un, how should I put it, that's right, it's like when I was young and I ate every day, and when the new year is over, mother cooked the meat and stewed it for me to eat. That's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right …" His voice became softer and softer. Suddenly, he seemed to realize that he had lost his manners. He laughed out loud and continued: "Today I must drink to my heart's content. Waiter, waiter, bring me two more jugs of wine."
Ling Qingyun had been disturbed by him, and had recovered from her earlier absent-mindedness. She quickly pulled on his clothes and said, "Brother, don't make a ruckus here. It's not good to disturb others." He then stood up and bowed in all four directions, "Just now, my brother lost his composure and disturbed you all."
Xiao Li interrupted him loudly, "Big brother, why are we drinking? Wasn't it just for fun? What are you drinking here for? Although this is my first time drinking this kind of wine, I can still feel the profundity contained within. Adding on the noodle soup at the entrance of the hotel, I believe that I can roughly guess who it is. All of you have come here simply to let your thoughts run freely through your memories, to think of things you normally hide deep in your heart that you do not dare to touch. Haha, what you don't have the courage to think about, you should use this wine to help you think about it. Have you ever thought that the thing you don't dare to think about is the obstacle in your hearts, that it will be the sore spot of your entire life? How many people didn't have the courage to face it and eventually walked onto a road of no return? Have you ever thought that this is a challenge you have to face? Can't you muster the last bit of courage to face it? Even if you fail, at the very least, all of you have done your best. Using wine like this to secretly think about the little secrets in your hearts, fantasizing about all kinds of possible results, in the end, you will lose even the tiniest bit of courage, and ultimately die a useless death. All I want to say is this: What men think boldly, want to do what have courage to do, what sadness, drink wine and cry out loud, who cares how others look at it? Those who were happy laughed out loud, regardless of what the others thought. The reason why you are sad is because you have been happy before. Grief is also a kind of longing, a kind of entrustment. You have to think about how many people's lives are filled with a luxury and yearning for a place like sadness. " In fact, the reason he said all this was because he saw Ling Qingyun once again become intoxicated with the burden in his heart. He really did not want his friend who had just pulled himself together to sink down once again.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him in a daze, Xiao Li couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him and shouted, "Waiter, waiter, bring me the wine. I haven't had enough yet!" At this moment, all the people in the store had gathered in the second hall after hearing the commotion. Hearing Xiao Li call for wine, the waiter hurriedly brought out two jugs of wine. Xiao Li picked up a pot and started drinking. When everyone saw Xiao Li drink without restraint, they all started to drink from their wine jugs as a result of Xiao Li's words.
Many times these people had lingered in their hearts for their sad memories, for the thoughts they had wanted to do but did not dare to do, for the contradictions and struggles they had in their hearts. They could only use alcohol to water down their worries and reminisce about their struggles, but Xiao Li's words just now had given them the courage to gamble with everything they had. Although this courage might not last long, it might disappear once they stepped out of the door, but at least right now, their hearts were in turmoil.
The reason why Xiao Li had complained so loudly just now was to give Ling Qingyun another shock. He hoped that this time, Ling Chen would be able to completely free himself from the abyss of pain. However, he didn't expect that this complaint would have such a big effect, causing such a big sensation and changing the lives of so many people.
Xiao Li finished the entire pot of wine in one breath, and seeing Ling Qingyun also take a big gulp, he felt relieved in his heart. But he also felt satisfied and shouted loudly: "Waiter, waiter, get me a jar, this kind of small pot isn't enough." It was better if Xiao Li didn't shout, since his shout immediately caused a round of applause and applause. It turned out that after hearing Xiao Li's words, the hot blood that had been simmering in their hearts for a long time began to boil. Everyone began to liven up as they listened to Xiao Li's heroic words and cheered for him.
When Xiao Li saw this, not only did he feel elated, but he also felt a sense of elation. The owner seemed to become more enthusiastic as well. The waiter actually brought a jar of wine over. Xiao Li didn't care about anything else as he picked up the jar and drank to his heart's content. This jar weighed at least ten catties. Xiao Li was moved by the applause from the crowd, and actually drank it down in one gulp, not caring about his life.
