Huangfu Qingmei relished the taste in her mouth, looked at him and said, "There is a hint of medicine, a hint of bitterness, and a fragrance that I have never tasted before. It is faintly like the fragrance of flowers, but not exactly the same."
After a long while, she looked at Li Xiuyuan blankly and asked, "What kind of wine is this? Where can I buy it? I'm willing to buy it for as many spiritual stones as you want!"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned. There was a thunder above his head. He seemed to have remembered something and looked at her in a daze.
After a long time, he said to himself: "... I remember that day was the Jingzhe, and the weather was slightly cool... A good friend of mine had promised to come to see me that day, but that day she did not come."
"Although I like her very much, I have never told her because I am afraid that I will lose her if I tell her... I am jealous of those people around her who have been pursuing her, although I also want to know that she is liked What does it feel like.”
Having said this, Li Xiuyuan took another sip of the wine in the glass and stared blankly at the green plum blossoms in front of him.
"As a result, I kept procrastinating like this for many years...until the spring of that year, she suddenly left me...I always thought that we would be together, because I felt that she was Like me..."
Hearing this, Li Xiuyuan's mind suddenly flashed through scene after scene of memory fragments, as if he had returned to the back mountain of the academy, or to the lake outside the ancient Canglong Cave. He couldn't help but freeze as he thought about it.
"She never said she likes me, but I know some words don't have to be said... I just want her to say one thing, but she never said it... I'm too I became confident and thought she would definitely marry me..."
The more Li Xiuyuan talked, the more excited he became...
A flash of light flashed in Huangfu Qingmei's eyes, and she looked down at the amber-colored wine in the glass.
Li Xiuyuan was thinking about it, and suddenly tears started flowing down his face.
"That day I was drinking and mixing new wine, and I was crying while drinking...for her, and for myself...I don't know why I did it, but at that moment, I couldn't control myself. ....."
"When the wine is ready, the tears on my face slowly dry up...I wonder if the woman I love the most will shed tears for me..."
Huangfu Qingmei looked at him and blurted out, "Definitely!"
Looking at the young man opposite her quietly, she could not imagine that just a glass of wine could touch him so much.
"Many years have passed... I really want to forget everything that happened that day, but my only flaw is that I have a very good memory."
Before Huangfu Qingmei could ask him, Li Xiuyuan continued.
"I walked and got here. ... But there will come a time when you are too old to walk, when you see snowflakes flying all over the sky in the snowy evening... .”
"You will think of a name, a song in your life... At that moment, you will know that there is only one person you love most..."
Huangfu Qingmei looked at him blankly and murmured, "Who are you? Where do you come from?"
"Have we met?" Li Xiuyuan looked at her and asked.
Huangfu Qingmei shook her head and replied: "I have been living in Fucheng, how could I have seen you?!"
"The glass of wine you are drinking was created by me in the small Taoist temple on Luoxia Mountain...but the jar of wine in my heart is called drunkenness, life, dreams and death...the jar of wine I gave you to drink No, I have lost many memories!”
Huangfu Qingmei looked at him and smiled, even though her eyes were a little disappointed.
He raised his glass to signal to Li Xiuyuan, then gently put it to his lips and smelled it carefully.
Then the tears kept falling down. It didn't feel like drinking, but like tasting tea, and more like saying goodbye to my beloved lover...
Li Xiuyuan's heart was filled with shock. He stared blankly at Huangfu Qingmei across from him and murmured softly: "How could this happen? Why does the wine I brew make you cry?"
Seeing Li Xiuyuan's dazed look, Huangfu Qingmei laughed to herself and said: "I didn't expect that I would drink such a fine wine in Ding'an City. It's not you who makes the best wine. What a fate in this world!"
After saying these words, Huangfu Qingmei gently put down the wine glass, hugged the wine vat on the table, and poured more into their glasses.
Li Xiuyuan, who was confused, murmured: "There seems to be a person in my mind. She told me that I was drunk with a kind of wine called "Drunk Life, Dreams and Death," and 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?"
"...After I drank that drunkenness, I really forgot everything. From then on, a woman's name was always engraved in my heart..."
After savoring the strong alcohol in his mouth, with the vague fragrance of countless flowers, and a hint of resentment, Huangfu Qingmei sighed softly and said to himself: "It turns out that the wine I drank is still good. It’s not about being drunk and dreaming..."
"This is not my drunken life and dream of death! This is not my drunken life and dream of death..."
Looking at Huangfu Qingmei, Li Xiuyuan murmured: "I wonder if you have returned home at this time, have you completed Nirvana and been reborn..."
Looking at the amber wine in the cup, Li Xiuyuan picked it up and put it to his lips, sipping it gently like tea.
"One night I suddenly wanted to drink... I suddenly understood that drunkenness was just a joke. The more you wonder if you have forgotten someone, the clearer you remember it."
"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..."
Huangfu Qingmei stared blankly at the young shopkeeper in front of her. Thinking of the heartless man in Ding'an City, she immediately rushed over and struck him with a sword!
However, she had to endure it for now until that moment came.
Looking at the young man in front of me, I am afraid that only I can understand his mood, and only he can brew the unique wine in the world that can make people cry.
She was worried, looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked: "How did you make this wine? Do you want me to buy the ingredients and try it together some other time?"
Looking at the young man in front of him, Huangfu Qingmei was like looking at a gem, his eyes shining, and he wanted to run immediately to buy the materials needed for brewing wine.
Looking at the tear-stained woman in front of him, Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "This will have to wait until tomorrow spring, and a lot of elixir will be needed. The elixir that takes more than a thousand years will be effective... The elixir I have on hand Already used up.”
Huangfu Qingmei stared at him seriously for a long time, then murmured: "I believe that next spring I will come to you with the elixir to make wine... You won't run away secretly, right?"
She had traveled all over the wilderness, spent countless efforts, and had never drunk such a fine wine. How could she not understand Li Xiuyuan's mood.
"My shop is here. I want to earn spiritual stones here, so how can I sneak away?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at her, smiled bitterly, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears on his face. Then he took a clean hand towel and handed it to Huangfu Qingmei opposite.
"Next spring, as long as you come, I will brew a vat of wine that is unique in the world for you!"
After speaking, he picked up the wine glass in front of him.
Huangfu Qingmei looked at him blankly and picked up the cup in front of her. Her eyes seemed to see through the entire Ding'an City and saw the heartless man.
He smiled softly and said: "Then I have to come to Ding'an City and live there for a while, waiting for you to brew the only fine wine in the world."
He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then took out two roast chickens and placed them on the table.
"Come and try. It is said that this is the best roast chicken in Ding'an City. One spiritual stone is as good as robbing money... Huangfu Qingmei said with a smile, while squeezing Li Xiuyuan's handkerchief to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes. .
"Well, if you drink my wine, just eat less roast chicken..." Li Xiuyuan looked at her and said.
Huangfu Qingmei looked at her jokingly and asked, "What do you mean? This is the roast chicken I bought, but it cost me spiritual stones. Can't I eat two more pieces?"
"I still have an empty room in my backyard. If you don't mind it..." Li Xiuyuan said, "I guess you will have to break the rules tonight and eat less meat. You will make up for it tomorrow."
After hearing what Li Xiuyuan said, Huangfu Qingmei said with some disdain: "So what? It's not the first time I've broken through. I..."
Before she finished speaking, she was stunned. She looked at Li Xiuyuan blankly and said, "You didn't put poison in your wine, did you? Why do I feel something is wrong? Is this true energy rushing through the meridians?"
Li Xiuyuan looked up at the sky, which was getting gray, and it was almost the end of the unitary hour.
He looked at her and said calmly: "I have no grudges against you. Is it necessary to harm you?" He reached out and poured her another glass of wine, and then said: "After tonight, no matter how much you spend, you won't be able to sell it." ”
Huangfu Qingmei looked confused and asked seriously: "Can you really break through? You should have told me earlier. How many pieces of roast chicken should I eat first?"
Li Xiuyuan was a little surprised, looked at her and said with a smile: "Which is more important, this situation or the roasted chicken?"
"It's nonsense, isn't it? Of course it's broken." Huangfu Qingmei sat down with some difficulty, grabbed the roast chicken and tore off a leg, looked at him and said, "You have to watch over it for me tonight?"
"You won't break through the realm and cause thunder disaster, right?" Li Xiuyuan stared into her eyes and said, "If that's the case, you have to change places, but don't harm my little shop here."
"Don't worry, I won't cause a thunderstorm or scare you." Huangfu Qingmei shrugged, pinched the drumstick and ate it, and said with a smile: "If you really let me fall into a bad state, I will thank you very much another day. You can do it.”
Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "You are the eldest daughter of a rich family. As long as you don't come to harm me, I don't dare to expect you to repay me. Maybe you come to scare me to death..."
"Then we have to wait until I break through with you tonight." Huangfu Qingmei put down the wine glass and said angrily: "I can't do it, take me to a clean room quickly..."
"Don't worry, I'll take you there right now." Li Xiuyuan was surprised at the speed of Huangfu Qingmei's body reaction. He looked at her and said, "You have to take it easy. If there is a big breakthrough, you have to run farther away... ..."
Huangfu Qingmei glared at him and said, "Looking at your potential, even if your store is destroyed, I will compensate you for two more stores, okay?"
Li Xiuyuan naturally didn't take it seriously. Instead, he stood up and took her to the backyard.
As he walked, he said, "Fortunately, I spent a few days tidying up all these rooms.
Huangfu Qingmei chose the room downstairs next to the stairs, opened the door and took a look, then turned and waved to Li Xiuyuan: "Go on and eat your meat, I'm giving you an advantage today."
...
Li Xiuyuan, who returned to the front of the hall, poured another half glass of wine and roasted most of the chicken that Huangfu Qingmei had torn into pieces. He spent half an hour eating it completely.
Then he made a pot of hot tea with the leftover tea in the pot. After eating meat, he had to drink another pot of tea to digest his food. After a while, he had to walk to the city lord's mansion.
I went into the house to get some water and washed myself. After I felt a little more awake, I put on a black gown. At first glance, I suddenly felt like a wild killer.
Sitting alone under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the small courtyard, Li Xiuyuan felt as if he had cut down the tree and replaced it with apricot blossom seeds.
Looking up at the half-moon in the sky, I thought it was still early. There is also a strange woman breaking through in this room. It is really a good opportunity given to me by God.
Now no one can doubt him. The woman in front of him is a living witness.
