“Where does spring go when the peach blossoms fall?
The storm filled the building with endless weeping. "
"What a poem, I had to drink a bottle of wine just for this poem!"
Behind Li Ye, there was a smell of wild flowers, and a woman's voice came.
Nalan Yuxing stood up and said with a blushing face: "Well, Hua... the host, you are here."
Li Ye stood up when he heard the sound, turned around and saw the four-horse carriage he met on the roadside that day, and the woman in the red dress under the umbrella.
But today she changed into a plain white skirt, with a circle of peach blossoms embroidered on the skirt.
Nalan Yu took Li Ye's hand and said with a smile: "Brother, this is the owner of Hua Man Lou Hua Tian Xia Hua Lou."
Hua Tianxia glanced at Nalanyu, turned around and continued to look at Li Ye, and sat down next to him.
He smiled and said, "I was passing by in a hurry that day, and I forgot to tell you my name. I'm really sorry."
Li Ye's face was a little red, and he smiled lightly and said, "I was so abrupt that day, which made the host laugh."
Hua Luoyu looked at Hua Tianxia, then at Li Ye, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you, the poster, have already met this young gentleman. I just wanted to read his poems to you."
After saying that, he poured hot tea for her and carried it over.
Hua Tianxia waved his hand and said: "On the road that day, I was only moved by the young master's perseverance in practice. I never thought that the young master would write such a beautiful poem. It is rare."
Nalan Yu curled his lips and said, "Before you came, my brother also chanted something to me. Do you want to hear it?"
Huatian Eleven looked at Hua Luo Yu again, and said, "Is there still such a thing?"
Hua Luoyu covered her mouth and smiled and said: "It was written to him. It was the young gentleman who was watching the small bridge and flowing water downstairs and groaned with emotion. The bridge and flowing water are like home, and the heartbroken people are at the end of the world."
Hua Tianxia closed her eyes and chanted twice, then opened her eyes and looked at Li Ye, saying: "Excellent quatrains, a good poem. I wonder what the complete verse in front of it is..."
Li Ye's face turned red, he glanced at Nalan Yu and whispered:
"Withered vines, old trees and dim crows, small bridges and flowing water, people's homes. The west wind blows in the ancient road and the horse is thin, the sun sets in the west, and the heartbroken people are at the end of the world."
After hearing this, Nalanyu stretched out his palm and slapped the table hard, saying, "Brother, you are really my good brother. You even know the pain in my heart."
Hua Tianxia's heart also "thumped", thinking that the little monk in front of him was only ten years old, but he could actually write such tragic and entangled words?
Looking at the excited Nalan Yu, she rolled her eyes at him.
He took Li Ye's hand and smiled and said: "Both of these poems are good. I'll ask the young master to copy them down some other day, frame them and hang them in the elegant room in the flower-filled building."
Nalanyu glanced at Hua Tianxia, moved his lips, thought for a while, took out a jar of wine from his arms, put it on the table, looked at Li Ye and smiled.
"What is this?" Li Ye asked, looking at the exquisite wine vat on the table.
Hua Tianxia frowned slightly, looking at the handsome but helpless face across from him, thinking about the entanglements and conflicts that had occurred to him during these days, he couldn't help but feel a little resentful.
He said unhappily: "We are enjoying tea, what are you doing with the wine?"
Li Ye was stunned and thought that Nalan Yu was also a weirdo. He was drinking tea around the tea table, but this guy took out the wine jar. Could it be that he was unhappy and wanted to drink away his sorrows?
Nalan Yu looked at Li Ye and smiled and said, "You have forgotten what I said in the inn that day. When you come to White Jade City, I will treat you to the most beautiful wine in the world."
Nalan Yu's answer was concise and clear, but in Hua Tianxia's eyes, he didn't know why and really wanted to punish him.
"But I don't drink well, I'll make you laugh." Li Ye shook his head gently.
"This is something worth a thousand dollars, and I only have this urn left. Don't you want to give it a try?" After Nalanyu finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Hua Tianxia, thinking, I will go against you, what can you do? What to do with me?
Li Ye smiled bitterly and was speechless, thinking that I have told you that I don't like drinking. You better insist on me giving it a try. Do you want to see me make a fool of myself when I get drunk?
Looking at Li Ye's expression, Nalan Yu thought he was thinking about something else and said with a smile, "Miss Luo Yu, please bring a few glasses. I'll treat everyone to the only bottle of wine I have."
Li Ye shook his head and said, "Brother Nalan, isn't this wine only drunk at the dinner table? Could it be that it can also be tasted at the tea table?"
Hua Tianxia looked at Li Ye who was shaking his head, and felt a little curious in his heart. Don't you know that when you drink, you only look at the mood of the master?
As expected, this young monk has little experience in the world and is simply a newcomer.
He then picked up the jug and said with a smile: "Little master, you don't know that this wine is indeed the last jug in the world. For this wine, you, Brother Nalan, still owe me money for the wine!"
"I never said I wouldn't pay you back. It's just that I'm short of money recently, so I'll owe you first. When I get rich, I'll pay you back twice as much." Nalan Yu blushed and said with a smile.
Li Ye looked at Hua Tianxia and then at Nalan Yu, not knowing how to answer the question.
Hua Tianxia smiled and said: "The wine on the table, I spent ten thousand gold coins to buy four jars from an auction in Xixuan Territory. I never wanted to let someone know about it and trick me into taking it. They took away two jars here and said they would give me 10,000 gold coins, but so far I haven’t received a single penny.”
Hua Luoyu pursed her lips and snickered. She stood up and took out four teacups from the cabinet behind her, and lined them up on the tea table.
Li Ye looked at Hua Tianxia's slightly fluttering eyelashes, thought about it, and made a decision.
He looked at her and said, "Although I have known Brother Nalan not long ago, since he is willing to entertain me with such fine wine, I will pay for the wine he owes."
After saying that, he wanted to take out his money bag from the space ring.
Hua Tianxia gave him a puzzled look and said, "The wine he owes can only be paid by himself, no one can do it for him."
Li Ye was startled and said, "Isn't it just money? Isn't it different who pays?"
Hua Tianxia glanced at Nalan Yu, shook his head, and said, "It's different. I like to let him owe me the money, and then I can scold him casually when I'm unhappy."
Nalan Yu raised his arm, picked up the silver wine pot on the table, looked at Li Ye and smiled: "Brother, don't get involved in this matter. Do you want to know what this wine is called?"
Li Ye looked at him and blurted out: "Isn't it just a pot of wine? What else is there?"
Nalanyu looked at Hua Tianxia, and after a moment of silence he said, "The name of my wine is: Drunken Life, Dreams of Death, and once you drink it, you will remember this taste for the rest of your life. It is not too much to say that it is the poison in the wine."
Li Ye's face was stunned and he asked, "Why?"
Nalan Yu glanced at Hua Tianxia, his expression was a little lonely, his mouth moved, and he was silent for a moment.
He murmured: "Not long ago, there was a person. She told me that there is a kind of wine called "Drunk Life, Dreams and Death". After drinking it, it can make you forget everything you have done before."
"She said that the biggest trouble people have is that they have too good a memory. How happy would it be if I could forget everything and every day would be a new beginning?"
"Of course I didn't believe it, so I bought two jars from her. I didn't have any gold coins in my hand at the time, so I promised to owe it first. However, after I drank from that jar, I really forgot everything. From then on, my heart , always engraved with a woman’s name…”
Li Ye was startled and thought that Brother Nalan was a man with a story.
Hua Tian was shocked, she didn't expect this idiot to really say everything.
"She never said she liked me,...some words don't have to be said,...I just want her to say one thing, but she never wants to say it."
After saying this, Nalan Yu stopped for a moment and stared blankly at the wine vat as if looking at his lover.
"She is too confident... If feelings can determine victory or defeat, I don't know if she will win, but I know very well that from the beginning, I lost."
As he spoke, Nalan Yu's eyes began to blur. He reached out and picked it up, patted it open, and poured wine into the four glasses on the table.
In just an instant, a kind of flower wine, a kind of wine fragrance, and a smell that Li Ye couldn't describe spread out.
Nalanyu stretched out his white left hand, as slender as a woman's fingers, and gently picked up the wine glass in front of him, as if holding his lover's little hand.
He looked at Li Ye and said, "You'll know after you drink it." After speaking, he raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass.
When Li Ye saw it, he had no choice but to pick up the wine glass in front of him, toasted to Hua Tianxia and Hua Luoyu, and poured the glass of "Drunk Life and Dream Life" into his mouth.
Hua Tianxia and Hua Luoyu looked at Nalan Yu, raised their wine glasses and toasted to Li Ye, and drank the wine in one gulp, as if they had known for a long time that this was a rare wine in the world.
Nalanyu carried the wine jar and poured wine for several people. Then he held the wine jar and said, "I know that the best way to avoid being rejected is to reject others first. But although I understand this truth, I still It’s never possible.”
Li Ye nodded, agreeing with his statement.
Nalanyu continued.
"So I went to the Five Realms to take jobs and kill people to make money. I wanted to forget her through life and death, but unfortunately I can't look back."
"...One night I suddenly wanted to drink, but I ended up drinking that bottle of drunkenness and dreams...I suddenly understood that in fact, drunkenness and dreams were just a joke. The more you wonder if you have forgotten it. When you meet someone, you remember them more clearly."
Li Ye shook his head. He thought of the young lady on Phoenix Mountain.
"I once heard someone say that when you can no longer have it, the only thing you can do is to make yourself not forget it."
Nalan Yu raised his wine glass again, and this time Hua Tianxia and Hua Luoyu also raised their wine glasses. Li Ye looked at the appearance of the three of them and had no choice but to raise the wine glass in front of him.
He knew very well that if he drank this drink again, he would fall drunk in this city, but at this moment, he could no longer care about it.
From the moment he drank his first cup of "Dream of Drunkenness", he was thinking of the young lady on Phoenix Mountain.
The strong alcohol entering his throat was like a flame burning his chest and abdomen, and also burning his soul.
The Buddha said that it is better to keep the mind still and not have thoughts. How can we keep the mind still and not have thoughts?
It's just that the current scene and the reaction in the body seem to be impossible. How can one control the body without thoughts?
He raised his head and drank the drunkenness in the cup, and then closed his eyes. There was still pain in his throat, chest and abdomen.
The second glass of wine seemed to turn into a knife, rushing through his body, and the flame finally bloomed a flower deep in his soul...
In a moment, the flower that bloomed due to drunken dreams spread and turned into the face of the young lady.
Before Nalanyu could pour the third glass of wine, Li Ye fell drunk on the table, lying on the table unconscious.
Nalan Yu looked at the drunk Li Ye, grinned, and continued to pour wine into the glass.
He murmured: "I have always had the same dream for countless nights... I think, maybe in my previous life, I just put on a piece of clothing for you. In the past, I thought that two people who love each other must be together. Now I understand that keeping someone in my heart is nothing more than that..."
It's just that when he said these words, Li Ye couldn't hear them anymore. He was really drunk beside Hua Tianxia and Hua Luoyu.
When Nalanyu said these words, he didn't look at Hua Tianxia or Li Ye. He just stared at the jar of wine on the table. He didn't know whether he was talking to himself, Li Ye, or Hua Tianxia. .
He stretched out his white, silent hand and drank the third glass of wine in one gulp. He then slapped the lid on the unfinished drink and put it into his space ring.
He stood up, put his arm around Li Ye's body, and walked out with him in his arms.
"Let my brother pay for the tea tomorrow. Please tell his companion that he will be drunk all day and all night. I will take him back to Wujian."
Nalan Yu's voice came from outside the door.
"Do you think it's strange that he doesn't pay attention to others and always stays silent? He clearly wants something in his heart but refuses to say it out loud."
Hua Tianxia looked at Nalan Yu's back and spoke to Hua Luoyu calmly.
But when she said these words, her eyes were red.
I have known Nalanyu for three years, and I have always thought that he was a rebellious swordsman. Unexpectedly, I realized today that he has such a delicate heart...
Hua Luoyu glanced at Hua Tianxia, stood up, and silently put away the wine glasses on the table.
Hua Tianxia sat alone at the table, feeling a little lonely and confused.
He murmured softly: "Are you the one who made me see the loneliest loneliness, the loneliest loneliness, the most helpless helplessness, and the most vicissitudes of life?"
