With the sound of rain hitting the green tiles all night long, Li Xiuyuan surprisingly did not suffer from insomnia, but slept until dawn.
Since learning the Tao of Talisman from Gui Guzi, Li Xiuyuan has raised the walls around the wine shop to the limit, so that he can have a good sleep at night and avoid people thinking about him.
His head is worth tens of thousands now, so don't dare to be careless.
I got up early to wash up, and then stood under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree to practice my sword. I don't know since when, he has been used to practicing his right hand before practicing his left hand. He seems to feel uncomfortable if he doesn't practice his left hand.
He didn't know what state his swordsmanship had reached, after all, he hadn't fought anyone for a long time.
Even when he came to the Great Wall, he only showed his archery skills in front of others. Even Gui Guzi didn't know that he also practiced swordsmanship.
After breakfast, I changed into a clean white robe, and it was already past midnight when I opened the store door. People would come to buy wine from time to time, and it would be close to noon at the earliest.
Looking at the empty walls, I always feel like something is missing.
Thinking about the heavy rain last night, I don’t know how long it lasted. Li Xiuyuan took out his knife and started carving on the wooden wall next to the tea table.
I saw that the knife was as sharp as a wolf's hair, and sawdust fell down one after another.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, a new poem appeared on the wall. He clapped his hands, put down his knife, took a broom and swept away the sawdust on the floor, and then wiped the table and counter, and then he took out the Huozhezi and boiled water with satisfaction.
With the couplets outside the store and the central hall of the store, Li Xiuyuan thought about whether to write some banners and hang them in the store, selling calligraphy and wine at the same time.
When I was at the Taoist Temple, I never thought that I could walk in this world with my ability to make wine.
You must know that when he came to this world, he was empty and didn't even have a spiritual stone. Even the money to open the store was given by Chen Chaofan.
Fortunately, he rescued Chen Shanshan, and it was no longer a matter of greed for the extraordinary master's spiritual stone.
With nothing to do, he started a new day of practice with a pot of tea, grinding a pool of ink.
As long as he didn't find out about Shenlong for a day, he would have to stay in Ding'an City. Who knew if someone would accidentally reveal the news in the next moment.
It was already past half time. After copying more than a dozen pages of scriptures and passing an hour, Li Xiuyuan put away his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, poured out the old tea, and replaced it with the spring tea brought by Huangfu Qingmei.
As the water boils and poured into the pot to wash the tea, a faint aroma of tea spreads in the wine shop. Together with the faint aroma of wine, a strange smell instantly drifts out of the shop.
"Brother, your wine shop is really hard to find!"
Li Xiuyuan, who was brewing tea, suddenly heard a voice coming from outside the shop. He looked up and saw that it was Ximen Lone Star, who was as handsome as a woman.
Li Xiuyuan glanced at him and smiled lightly: "Why did you come here alone? Where is your bride?"
Ximen Lone Star was startled, walked in and sat down in front of Li Xiuyuan, shouting: "I finally have some peace and quiet for a while, can you please don't mention her."
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and sighed, stretched out his hand to pour him a cup of tea, and said calmly: "What are you afraid of? Women have nothing to be afraid of. You see, I'm not afraid of her."
When Ximen Guxing heard this, he couldn't help but trembled. He looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "You haven't been punished by her, and I can't beat her. I even hid from Fucheng back to Ding'an City, and she still refuses to let me go." ..."
Li Xiuyuan looked at Ximen Guxing who was like a resentful woman, shook his head and said: "You have practiced hard, and when you are better than him, won't you be honest if you deal with her harshly a few times?"
When Ximen Lone Star heard this, he couldn't help complaining: "That's what I thought when I hid back. I wanted to come back and improve one or two realms. I don't have to be afraid when I see her in the future. Who knew she would come to your store?" Breaking through again..."
Li Xiuyuan was startled and couldn't help laughing: "Is this my fault?"
Upon hearing this, Ximen Lone Star nodded vigorously, looked at him and continued: "I don't care, you have to help me think of a way, I will give you as many spiritual stones as you want."
Li Xiuyuan looked up at the empty vats on the shelf behind the counter. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly and replied: "It's not about the spirit stone. Your wife drank all the remaining wine I had."
"No way? Are you saying there's not even one cup left? Oh my god...do I really have to wait until next spring?"
Ximen Lone Star looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked unwillingly, as if to prove to him how determined he was to break through.
Li Xiuyuan looked at him quietly and said seriously: "Even if your wife comes next spring with a thousand-year elixir, she will still have to wait for another year. Good wine needs time to age... .”
As soon as these words came out, Ximen Lone Star was speechless and speechless.
He rushed here eagerly early in the morning for the chance to break through, so that at least he no longer had to worry about Huangfu Qingmei bullying him, but he didn't expect Li Xiuyuan's answer to be so simple and rude.
If you want to drink good wine, even if you have the elixir, you have to wait until the spring of the year after next. I don’t know when this powerful woman will reach that level.
Li Xiuyuan looked at him, smiled, and explained: "You can't always rely on external things to break through in cultivation, otherwise your path will not last long."
Ximen Lone Star slowly put the tea cup in his hand on the table and said slowly: "I also know this truth. If I hadn't been engaged to her, I would still have time to practice slowly..."
"I'm here to help you. She must be on her way here." Counting the time, she thought it was time for Huangfu Qingmei to come here and cause trouble for herself.
After all, this woman is not someone you can dismiss with just a few words.
After a moment of silence, Li Xiuyuan looked at Ximen Lone Star and asked: "You already have a fiancée in Fucheng, why do you want to rob this private woman? Aren't you afraid of embarrassment?"
Regarding Chen Shanshan, Li Xiuyuan still didn't understand, and the guy in front of him didn't look like a second-generation ancestor.
Ximen Lone Star curled his lips and replied: "I don't want to find someone to get married casually and let her give up, so that I can escape from the sea of suffering in the future."
After hearing this, Li Xiuyuan somewhat understood this guy's plan, thinking that even if you married Chen Shanshan, Huangfu Qingmei would still have ways to punish you.
After thinking about it, Li Xiuyuan said seriously: "Don't be stupid in the future. With her character, she will either let you divorce your wife, or she will directly become a big business. She will recognize you in this life..."
What I mean is, that girl is pretty good, brother, just go with it.
Ximen Lone Star looked at Li Xiuyuan and sighed quietly: "The water in Fucheng is too deep, so I returned to Ding'an City."
"Oh! I didn't expect that my little star would be able to write poems after not seeing her for a night!"
While the two were chatting, Huangfu Qingmei's joking voice sounded outside the store.
Li Xiuyuan picked up a teacup and poured it for her, and said with a smile: "What does this have to do with you? Doesn't it mean that I have no freedom if I become your husband-in-law?"
Huangfu Qingmei looked at him and said coldly: "I said you are really interesting, little shopkeeper. You taught my future husband bad things early in the morning. My interest in you has become more and more intense."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and replied: "Put your interest away. If you want to drink tea, please sit down. If you don't want to drink, please feel free to do so."
Looking at this woman who made Ximen Guxing's expression change, Li Xiuyuan replied calmly.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Ximen Lone Star's expression became more and more exciting and weird.
He never expected that this ordinary wine shop owner could actually have a conversation with the princess of the Marshal's Mansion in Fucheng. His words were not only arrogant, but also sarcastic and tough to the extreme.
Huangfu Qingmei's expression was relatively calm, but Ximen Lone Star could see the fire that was about to burn in her eyes and quickly pulled her to sit down.
He asked in a low voice: "Have you had breakfast? Do you want me to buy it for you? The beef noodles in this city are pretty good."
Huangfu Qingmei, however, seemed oblivious. She picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip. Then she looked up and stared at the new words just carved on the wall and was stunned.
It was raining and windy last night, and I couldn't get rid of the remaining wine after a deep sleep.
When I asked the person behind the curtain, I found that Begonia was still the same.
Do you know? It should be green, red and thin.
Holding the tea cup, I carefully recalled the heavy rain last night, and there was an indescribable feeling.
After a long while, he said quietly: "Oh! If I had met you earlier, I wouldn't have fallen in love with this useless guy."
"Don't, we didn't do that... you still have time now."
When Ximen Lone Star heard Huangfu Qingmei's complaints, he felt happy. I thought to myself that I just got engaged to you, and I haven’t had time to get married yet, but this guy in front of me can cure you.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the two of them and said nothing, thinking that you don't have to use me to have fun when you and your husband are fighting.
Huangfu Qingmei laughed, but there was no joy in her laughter, only a strong and domineering meaning.
Looking at Ximen Lone Star, he asked, "Is your skin itchy again? Do you want me to scratch it for you?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and smiled and said: "No, this is a place where peace and wealth can be made, not a battlefield for you and your wife. If you want to fight, go home."
As soon as these words came out, Huangfu Qingmei was unhappy again. She looked at him and said: "I also have a sister who may come back in a few days. Do you want me to introduce her to you? She is prettier than me. ..."
When Ximen Lone Star heard this, he immediately looked at Huangfu Qingmei with wide eyes and asked, "Aren't you just an older brother? When did a younger sister appear? Why didn't I know?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and ignored the two of them. He just picked up a spoon and added spring water to the kettle, and added two pieces of charcoal. He thought to himself that he would be a fool if he accepted these words.
Huangfu Qingmei glanced at Ximen Lone Star with disgust, glared and said, "Ximen Xiaoyu, isn't she my sister?"
Ximen Lone Star was stunned, looked at her and replied: "That's my sister, okay? When did she become your sister?"
When Huangfu Qingmei heard this, she said angrily: "Are you an idiot? He is your sister, isn't he my sister? Where is she in Fucheng today? Where is she sleeping?"
Ximen Lone Star responded honestly: "Of course it's the Generalissimo's Mansion."
Huangfu Qingmei looked at him and shook her head, and said with emotion to Li Xiuyuan beside her: "It's not bad, the guy finally didn't die stupidly in front of me and let you see the joke."
After saying that, he looked at Ximen Lone Star with pitiful eyes, and said with a faint smile: "If I were you, I would hold this kid tightly. If nothing else, at least the City Lord's Mansion will not have to worry about drinking anymore. Look at the words on this wall..."
That was clearly the feeling I had when I saw You Lian and wished I could meet you and get married in the future.
Li Xiuyuan looked at her with a half-smile but not a smile. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "Put away those little thoughts of yours. I once swore that I would never talk about the love between men and women until I enter the extraordinary world."
Thinking about it carefully, the only thing I'm thankful for is that I didn't have a trace of love debt during my training days in Tianfeng Kingdom or in the academy.
This is why Li Xiuyuan can afford it and let it go.
It was Teacher Guiguzi on the Great Wall. In the face of freedom and restraint, he still chose to be the perpetrator.
What's more, he only has more than a year left in this world, and he will never be involved in the love debt between men and women here again.
Looking at the newly engraved words in front of him, Li Xiuyuan shook his head, lowered his head and thought that he would have to find time to shovel it and replace it with a verse that would be more stable.
He didn't want to let a woman care about him for some inexplicable reason.
