The wine was good, but Tang Xiaotian found it hard to swallow. He drank a glass of wine, which made him choke on tears.
Drinking is naturally very particular about the environment.
He decided to go to the city, where there were few acquaintances, so he didn't have to worry about other people's opinions and could drink to his heart's content.
He didn't even bother to call the carriage, jumped on his horse, and headed straight for the city.
Tang Xiaotian wandered around aimlessly for a while, and finally found a restaurant and went in.
He still sat by the window and also ordered a bottle of wine and a pound of beef. It's just that this time he didn't drink it immediately. He held the wine bottle in his hand and was dazed. He was not a person who loved wine. He had been hungover for days. Now when he smelled the wine in his hand, he couldn't help but retching.
Tang Xiaotian suddenly found that his stomach was empty. He had been eating very little in the past few days, and he had vomited completely in Tangjiapu before. In addition, he and Shen Xiang'er had consumed a lot of energy. At this time, he I just felt a surge in my stomach.
He reluctantly took a chopstick of beef and put it into his mouth. The beef was tender and delicious, but it tasted like chewing gum to him.
"Well, wine is not for looking at, it is for drinking. You should drink the opened wine immediately. You are really wasting your resources."
Tang Xiaotian heard a sigh. He looked up and saw an old man sitting next to him staring at him and sighing.
The old man looked to be in his sixties, but his face was red and energetic. He placed a bamboo stick beside the table and held a wine gourd in his hand. The gourd was empty. He poured the last drop of wine from the gourd into his throat. He smacked his lips, as if he was still conscious.
The old man stared at the wine in Tang Xiaotian's hand, licked his lips, and swallowed hard.
"Since you can't drink it, how about I drink it for you? Judging from your appearance, there must be no grains of rice in your belly. Drinking like this is the most harmful to your health, hehe..." The old man looked at the wine in Tang Xiao's hand and shouted. Haha.
If his eyes could drink, I am afraid that the wine in Tang Xiaotian's pot would have entered his stomach long ago. He only stared at Tang Xiaotian's wine and did not even look at Tang Xiaotian's person.
He would not have thought that the lonely and desolate man in front of him was actually the famous Lord of Tangjiabao. He only had wine in his eyes. A man who was addicted to alcohol but could not afford wine was undoubtedly a kind of sorrow.
He didn't recognize Tang Xiaotian, but Tang Xiaotian recognized him.
Tang Xiaotian felt a little surprised that the old man who tricked him into drinking was actually a dignified elder of the Beggar Clan.
The Beggar Gang is the largest gang in the world. Although it has become slightly less powerful in recent years, the number of good men in the gang has declined, and the number of young gang members who are good at martial arts has been decreasing day by day. However, looking at the entire world, there is no sect that can compete with any of them. There are only a few places, but because of its deep roots, wide factions, and large number of gangs, it is really not something that other gangs can match.
There are tens of thousands of members of the Beggar Gang, but this old man is the protector of the gang. His position is only lower than the gang leader and deputy gang leader. He is truly inferior to ten thousand people.
The guardian elders of the Beggar Clan are all top-notch masters in the world. The one in front of me is Elder Zuo Guardian Wei. It is said that his internal strength has reached the advanced level. He can hurt people by flying flowers and picking leaves. Unexpectedly, he is an alcoholic. old man.
"I just feel that drinking by myself is boring. If I don't mind it, why don't we move over and get drunk together?" Tang Xiaotian said with a smile, but he did not reveal the identity of Elder Wei.
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it. This is very good, very good." Before Elder Wei finished speaking, he came to Tang Xiaotian's table. Before he could take a seat, he had already picked up the pot of wine and raised his head to drink it.
Tang Xiaotian high-fived the waiter and asked the waiter to bring him two more bottles of wine. Elder Wei was not polite and took out his empty wine gourd from his waist and poured the two bottles of wine brought by the waiter into his own wine gourd. middle.
The two jugs of wine were almost finished, and his huge wine gourd was just full.
"I really met a noble person when I went out. We meet each other in the mountains and rivers. I will treat you to a good drink someday and return your favor." Elder Wei hung the wine gourd back on his waist with a smile on his face. All the money he had must have been used up. It has been spent, and I am grateful to be treated by others at this moment.
Tang Xiaotian laughed and said: "You and I don't know each other, and it will be difficult for us to meet each other in the future. A mere drink is nothing to care about. You and I are both big drinkers, and we don't need to care about worldly things. It's a pity that today we are empty in our lower stomachs." , it is not appropriate to seek drunkenness, otherwise you should drink a few drinks together."
"You don't recognize me, but I do recognize you. I'm not blinded by old age. The famous Lord of Tang Dynasty still recognizes you. It's just that I can't figure out why you are here alone to get drunk, without even a follower? "Elder Wei laughed, it turned out that he had already recognized Tang Xiaotian.
It was midday, and there were not many customers in the restaurant. Apart from the two of them, there was only one person in the opposite corner who was chewing and drinking slowly. Elder Wei was laughing loudly, but that person didn't even look up.
Tang Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said, "Elder Wei has really good eyesight."
"So you have recognized me, haha, haha..." Elder Wei's smile seemed a little unnatural. It's no wonder that people in the beggar gang rely on begging for food. This is a common knowledge in the world. There is no need to care, but he is the guardian elder of the Beggar Clan. A person with his position naturally does not need to beg.
The Beggar Clan also has its own business, and its income is quite good. How can the dignified Dharma Protector Elder of the Beggar Clan not have any silver on him.
"Well, it seems that I can't go to the gambling house this month. Today is the third day of the new year." Elder Wei suddenly sighed.
The implication is that he has lost all the silver at his disposal this month, and it will take more than twenty days before he can go to the gambling house to make money again.
This surprised Tang Xiaotian. He didn't expect that Elder Wei was actually a gambler.
"I bet you will go to the gambling house again this month. If I lose the bet, I will cut off my own arm. If you lose, you will learn how to bark three times. Do you dare to bet?"
Elder Wei looked up and saw that the person speaking was not Tang Xiaotian.
There was no one else in the restaurant at this time, except for the person who had been sitting in that corner.
The corner was dark, and neither of them took a close look at the man. At this time, Elder Wei turned around and met the man's eyes.
I saw that the man was in his forties, with a rough beard, and a dark light in his eyes. Just sitting, he already showed his majesty. If he stood up, his concentration would be like that of the Vajra Arhat in the temple.
Elder Wei and Tang Xiaotian could not help but be stunned for a moment, thinking that they had heard wrongly.
The bet this man mentioned was really strange. If he won, he would just ask others to bark a few times, but if he lost, he would have to cut off his arm. They had never heard of this kind of bet.
This kind of gambling seems to be purely for the joy of gambling, because even if he wins the bet, he will not get anything of value, and the chance of him winning is pitifully small, because the conditions he mentioned are that others can Controlled, Elder Wei would have won as long as he didn't go to the gambling house within this month, but he casually dared to bet an arm. How is this different from a lunatic?
Tang Xiaotian and Elder Wei looked at each other, and both of them thought of a person's name at the same time.
In the whole world, no one would make such a bet with others except this person.
