One day later, under the sunshine of winter, the wine shop reopened its doors.
There is a plaque with the word "wine restaurant" hanging on the top of the door, which emits golden light under the sunlight. The wine flag outside the door grinned in the wind, welcoming the arrival of new Jianghu people.
Qiao Huaigui and Mei Huayin were sitting in the wine shop drinking quietly, as if the Jianghu people who had completely disappeared before had never appeared.
In a blink of an eye, the New Year is almost here.
Only one person came to this wine shop to seek refuge, and that was the young man Li Maoshan met halfway.
On the day when the wine shop reopened, the young man finally walked to the door of the wine shop. He cleaned up the wind and snow on his body and walked into the wine shop.
I randomly found a seat and sat down. I neither ordered a bottle of wine nor a plate of food. I just sat there minding my own business, looking out the window from time to time, as if waiting for something.
the next day.
The young man came down from upstairs, had a simple breakfast, and then sat there quietly, waiting.
A month passed in a row. When the New Year was about to arrive and the boss was preparing to close the door and go home to celebrate the New Year, the boy was still sitting there, motionless. It was as if he had been sitting there all along, always maintaining the same movement and never changing.
Qiao Huaigui and Mei Huayin had already left, and Li Maoshan followed Han Yunzhao to learn swordsmanship somewhere. The young man was the only customer in this wine shop.
Laba day.
The boss got up early and cooked a pot of Laba porridge. Just when the young man was about to have breakfast, the waiter brought a bowl of porridge and put it in front of him and said: "After today, the restaurant will close, and we have to wait until tomorrow." It won't open until after the Lantern Festival, so please go on your way early after drinking this bowl of Laba porridge."
The young man looked at the steaming Laba porridge in front of him, then looked at the waiter and said, "Thank you very much."
The waiter waved his hand, returned to his seat, and started eating.
After hastily finishing breakfast, the young man came to the boss, took out a silver coin from his pocket and handed it to the boss and said: "Boss, please prepare some dry food and drinks for me, thank you."
The boss took the money and nodded to the waiter. Seeing this, the waiter quickly took a few bites of food, then turned and walked towards the back door. Not long after, there was a sound of horses neighing at the door. The young man heard the sound and walked out. He saw the dry food and wine on the horse's back, and saw the waiter leading him up to him and handing him the reins and saying: "On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, remember to return the horse."
The young man took the reins, bowed his hands to the boss in the wine shop, got on his horse, and walked in the opposite direction of Zhonghuaji.
............
There is a lot of mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and the music sounds like an old friend. White walls and green tiles, stone bridge arches for pedestrians.
In the cold winter, the snow in the south of the Yangtze River is not as fast and fierce as the snow in the north. It is just like the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River, gentle and delicate.
Shenjiazhuang in Longshou Mountain is ablaze with lights and colorful decorations.
In a few days, it will be Mrs. Hua's sixtieth birthday in Shenjiazhuang. At this time, Shenjiazhuang is in a busy state.
During the Laba Festival, seeing that the New Year's Eve was getting closer and closer, it was also Mrs. Hua's birthday. For a while, the entire Shenjiazhuang was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, filled with joy. Qiao Huaigui had returned to Longshou Mountain from Chonghuaji earlier.
That day, early in the morning, Shen Feiyu walked out of the house, took a folding fan to Qiao Huaigui's door, slapped the door with one hand and shouted: "Qiao Huaigui, let's go out to play."
At this time, Qiao Huaigui was sitting under the window reading. When he heard Shen Feiyu's voice, he answered lightly and ignored Shen Feiyu. After knocking for a while, when Qiao Huaigui didn't open the door, Shen Feiyu guessed that he must be reading under the window.
Shen Feiyu walked over quietly, opened the window suddenly, and saw Qiao Huaigui sitting there, holding a classic book and sitting there reading quietly. When he saw Shen Feiyu opening the window and jumping in, he didn't pay attention to him. I just read my own books and indulge in my own world.
Seeing that Qiao Huaigui ignored him, Shen Feiyu got up and walked to the bookshelf next to Qiao Huaigui, looking at the books on the shelf one by one.
"Shen Nong's Materia Medica, Huangdi's Inner Canon, Materia Medica, all things are unified..."
Shen Feiyu looked at each book one by one. Suddenly, a storybook novel came into view. He took it over excitedly. He opened it and saw four large characters "Strange Stories from Mountains and Seas" written neatly on the cover. He took it He looked at Qiao Huaigui while writing the book and asked, "Have you read this book?"
Qiao Huaigui nodded.
Shen Feiyu said again: "Lend it to me."
Just like that, Shen Feiyu took the book out of the room, placed the book in the room, and led a group of boys to the street.
Qiao Huaigui looked at Shen Feiyu who was leaving, and then at the maids and servants who were busy going back and forth in the yard. He suddenly remembered that he had to pay his respects to Aunt Hua. He quickly put down his books, tidied his clothes, carried a knife on his back, and walked towards where Aunt Hua was. Go to Shenghua Pavilion.
When he saw Aunt Hua dressing up while being served by a group of maids, Qiao Huaigui stepped forward, gave the gift he had carefully prepared to Aunt Hua and said: "Hua...Mother, here I come. "
Aunt Hua, who was putting on makeup, heard Qiao Huaigui's unspoken words. Her expression in the bronze mirror changed slightly, and soon returned to normal. She stretched out her withered fingers, placed them quietly on Qiao Huaigui's face, sighed, and asked in a lonely voice: "You know everything?"
Qiao Huaigui nodded and said nothing.
"After all these years, do you blame me?" Hua Suhong retracted her finger and asked softly.
Qiao Huaigui shook his head and said, "No matter what the truth is, you will always be my mother."
Hua Suhong stretched out her arms, gently held Qiao Huaigui in her arms, stroked his hair and said softly: "My child, with your plan, I am satisfied."
............
Firecrackers are blasting and gongs and drums are noisy.
This day is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, a small year, and it is also the 60th birthday of Shenjiazhuang Huaxianzihua Suhong.
The whole Shenjiazhuang was bustling with excitement, and all the major forces in the martial arts world sent people to congratulate her. For a moment, Hua Suhong's face was filled with pride and glow. But in Shenjiazhuang, there is one person who is the most leisurely, and that is Qiao Huaigui.
Everyone in the world knew that Hua Suhong had an adopted son who was aloof by nature and didn't like the excitement. Therefore, although he had some words for not coming out to greet him today, he didn't take it to heart. After all, he could return the knife in front of him. There are not many people who can do a few tricks.
Therefore, the task of responding to the arrival of people from various sects fell on Shen Feiyu, the eldest son of Shenjiazhuang.
"Master Zhao of Sanmenshan is here to congratulate you." The butler's voice came from outside the door.
Shen Feiyu, who was talking to the distinguished guest, heard the sound, said sorry, and started to walk out the door. He saw Mr. Zhao of Sanmenshan and the two of them standing at the door. He quickly walked forward and exchanged greetings: "Brother Zhao , Brother Zhao. Brother Zhao’s coming here this time can be said to make my Shenjiazhuang Pengpi shine."
"Brother Shen, you're welcome. I, Mr. Zhao, are lucky enough to be a guest in Shenjiazhuang. It is my blessing, Mr. Zhao."
The two laughed, and Shen Feiyu stretched out his hand to invite us in and said, "Brother Zhao, please come in. Brother Wang, Brother Cui, and Brother Puyang are already here."
When Mr. Zhao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "That's very good, hahahaha."
Shen Feiyu said to Brother Zhao, please help yourself, and then went to the door to greet the visitors.
