From winter to spring, Li Xiuyuan measured Ding'an City countless times with his feet for an hour every day, leaving his footprints under the high walls of the four city gates.
However, the most popular ones are the ten-mile long street where the small wine shops are located and the lakeside shops where I go to eat every day.
Now Li Xiuyuan has become a sight in Ding'an City. Every evening, you can always see him and his figure in the streets and alleys of the city.
Li Qiushui once asked in confusion: "If you like it, you can rent a carriage and go shopping every day?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and smiled lightly: "If I said that I regard walking as a kind of practice, would you believe it?"
"Only a ghost would believe you!" Li Qiushui looked at him and laughed.
Li Xiuyuan, who was sitting quietly in the wine shop, did not wait for Huangfu Qingmei, nor did he wait for Wang Lianhua. On the fifth day after the beginning of spring, he gave Ximen Xiaoyu some medicinal wine to take back.
Seeing Ximen Xiaoyu's nervous look, Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "These four jars of wine are enough for you to drink. If it doesn't happen this year, it will have to be postponed until this time next year."
"This time next year, master, will you still be here?" Ximen Xiaoyu was nervous about Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and shook his head, smiling: "Life is like a play, who knows which play will be performed tomorrow?"
In his opinion, spring is about to pass, summer is approaching, and storms are coming.
Ximen Xiaoyu looked at Xiaohong who was busy in the backyard and asked unwillingly: "You want someone to help you make wine, why don't you call me?"
Li Xiuyuan was startled, looked at her and smiled: "You are a rich lady, how can you bear this hardship? This is the landlord's sister, and she is also the shopkeeper here, is she not just here to help?"
Ximen Xiaoyu sighed, looked at him and smiled: "Am I that delicate? So, you also taught her the wine-making technique?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled and nodded: "Do you want to learn? I can also teach you, as long as you can bear the hardship."
Ximen Xiaoyu just said it casually. She didn't expect that Li Xiuyuan was really willing to teach her. Instead, she was shocked. She reached out and touched Li Xiuyuan's forehead and asked: "Are you not crazy? Teach me all the wine-making techniques. You What to eat?”
Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said, "No problem, I'll sell wine in another town."
Seeing that spring is about to pass, even if Yan Ruobing from Wangtian City doesn't come to see him, he will only have a few days left in Ding'an City. No matter where Huangfu Qingmei goes or not, he has to give it a try.
Xu Xu, don’t you need that jade pendant to enter?
At night when the last spring rain fell, Li Xiuyuan asked Xiaohong to call Li Qiushui to the small shop by the lake.
The two of them watched a lake of spring water and chatted for most of the night.
Li Xiuyuan explained to her in detail some things that he would not normally say, including that he would be leaving soon, and it might take another fifty years or so before he could come back.
After saying this, Li Xiuyuan looked at her and smiled: "Are you afraid of me?"
"You're so scared! I've known for a long time that you're not a wild monster... There's no way a guy like you could be born here, and there's no teacher like you."
Li Qiu Shui looked at him and replied harshly. Only now did she understand why Li Xiuyuan wanted to put this winery under his name and let people learn winemaking with him.
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and smiled bitterly: "I came here just to find an opportunity. I didn't want to get involved in the dispute between the wilderness and the Great Wall."
"So what, now both sides are looking for you...Aren't you afraid that I will sell you?"
Li Qiushui looked at him and said softly.
Li Xiuyuan was startled, pointed at the vast lake, and said with a faint smile: "I am invincible in Ding'an City. Do you believe this? Although I am only a little monk in the distraction realm now."
"Oh my god!" Li Qiushui couldn't help but cover his mouth, looked at him and asked blankly: "Could you...are you afraid that those people will come and cause trouble for you?"
"I'm afraid of death, so I have to leave a few escape routes for myself... This summer, no matter what happens in Ding'an City, don't take action."
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and said quietly: "Although I don't know what will happen tomorrow...you have to believe me, God will not stop me, and I will survive. You just need to take good care of this winery. "
Li Qiushui took a deep breath, slammed the table, and shouted: "I have to have a drink tonight, who knows when those guys will come out."
Li Xiuyuan lightly knocked on the table and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Xiaohong has learned 70%. You will not be short of wine in the future."
After finishing speaking, he took two jars of wine and put them on the table. He pointed at one of the jars and said, "If you are not in a hurry, if you drink this jar of wine for a few years, it should allow you to see the threshold."
After speaking, he patted the black bean wine on the table and said calmly: "When it comes to health preservation, of course I drink the cheapest black bean wine. Unfortunately, not many people in Ding'an City know about it."
Li Qiushui looked at him deeply, put away the wine jar in front of him, and then said softly: "Did you have a premonition of some danger? It's still very early for autumn."
"It's always good to be prepared for a rainy day, lest you have to leave here one day before it's too late to say goodbye to you."
In Li Xiuyuan's view, as long as the monks from Wangtian City came to guard Ancheng to find him, no matter whether there was evidence or not, a big battle would be inevitable.
At this time, he just hoped that the city lord Ximen Tingxue would not get involved, otherwise for the sake of his own life, he might have to become the enemy of the entire Ding'an City.
"Now that you are ready, teach Xiaohong as much as you can in the coming days. I will come over and sit with you when you have nothing to do."
After saying this, he took out a brocade bag and put it on the table, looked at Li Xiuyuan and laughed.
"This is based on my figure and from now on... I guess you won't have to buy clothes for the next ten years." Li Qiushui looked at him and said proudly.
"What should I do? I have to owe another favor." Li Xiuyuan picked up the brocade bag in front of him and looked at Li Qiushui and laughed.
"As long as you know, live well. I'm still looking forward to the day when you will come back under the colorful clouds and give me the opportunity to set foot on the road to heaven."
When Li Qiushui said this, he couldn't help but reach out and wipe the corners of his eyes.
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and laughed: "Of course I must come back. My opportunity is your opportunity. In my heart, I have always regarded you as my sister."
"Oh, I didn't expect that after not seeing each other for a few days, you would actually coax a woman to come over? What about that girl Ximen Xiaoyu? Do you want me to go to matchmaking with Ximen Tingxue? I don't think he will reject me..."
Unexpectedly, Li Xiuyuan shook his head and replied softly: "Don't try to influence her. I will also distance myself from her, so that if there is a conflict, I won't hurt her."
Li Qiushui was stunned for a moment, and after a while he sighed heavily and said, "Are you going to break up with the wilderness and say goodbye to all your friends in the past two years?"
"They are not my friends. I don't have many friends in this world, let alone brothers and sisters. If I have them, you are the only one..."
From the beginning of the day, Li Xiuyuan had never had an interest in Huangfu Qingmei. What's more, since she came back from Fucheng, this woman had deliberately avoided him. He had never owed her anything from the beginning to the end.
"Bah! Fortunately, I am no longer young. Otherwise, with the temper I had back then, I would have hunted you to the ends of the earth."
Looking at the slightly green boy in front of him, Li Qiu Shui burst into laughter, as if he had returned to his youthful days.
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and shook his head, and replied helplessly: "Even if I return to that world, I am just a person. The master who was with me since childhood has ascended and left..."
"How is that possible? How old are you?" Li Qiushui looked at him blankly.
"Don't believe it, the wine he drank on the day he ascended was... by the way, the elixir in this wine is much better than the elixir I used when making wine before."
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said with a smile, which surprised Li Qiushui and left him speechless for a long time.
...
The days passed, and as the weather became hotter, Li Xiuyuan no longer went for walks around the city every day as before.
At the moment, the most he can do is go to a small shop by the lake every other day, drink two glasses of wine with Li Qiu Shui, and chat about the scenery decades from now.
Xiaohong is now able to make wine independently, and the sorghum and black beans she brews are not much different from those brewed by Li Xiuyuan. This made Li Xiuyuan and Li Qiushui very happy, as they had a successor.
For Li Qiushui, this is not only a money tree, but also a love connection with Li Xiuyuan from another world.
However, just as Li Xiuyuan himself expected, if you ask which comes first, the accident or tomorrow...
In the afternoon of this day, Li Xiuyuan was sitting in the wine shop making tea by lighting a fire when he was waiting for Ximen Lone Star, who had not been out for a long time.
Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar guy, Li Xiuyuan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked softly: "Long time no see, why are you here with me today?"
Ximen Lone Star pondered for a moment and then replied: "My father asked you to come over and tell you that I have something to talk to you about..."
Looking at the panting Ximen Lone Star, Li Xiuyuan sighed and said, "I have been waiting for you for most of the summer. It seems that you can't escape what is coming."
When summoned by his father, Li Xiuyuan looked unhurried and unhurried. He was really anxious to death. Where had he seen such a slow-responsive guy?
He had always been on good terms with Li Xiuyuan, and he didn't have much to say. He could only urge: "A few people came to the City Lord's Mansion today. My father seems to be anxious to see you. I'm afraid they won't like it if you go too late."
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and responded calmly: "Of course I have to go." He turned around and murmured a few words to Xiao Hong, then told her to go back to find Li Qiu Shui, and hung a wooden sign at the door: The boss has something to do, and the door will not be opened for the time being.
He closed the door of the wine shop, hailed a carriage on the street, and the two of them drove towards the city lord's mansion. He had to face the sudden summer rainstorm.
"Tell the truth, what happened to the City Lord's Mansion?" Li Xiuyuan asked quietly while leaning against the car window, looking at Ximen Lone Star. He wanted to decide everything from this guy's attitude.
Ximen Lone Star seemed to know the seriousness of the matter. He looked at him and said with a smile: "This...how do I know? You just go and get it."
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and shook his head, and said quietly: "You are trying to distance yourself from me, whatever. From today on, you are you, I am me, and you and I have nothing to do with each other."
After a pause, he continued: "I have given you your wine a long time ago, which can be regarded as fulfilling the agreement with you."
Ximen Lone Star pricked up his ears in fright, glanced at the coachman in front of him, lowered his voice and said, "What do you mean? Do you want to break up with me?"
"You have to ask yourself this. Stop talking nonsense. I'm not a vegetarian?" Li Xiuyuan frowned.
After Ximen Lone Star was stunned for a moment, he watched Li Xiuyuan helplessly raise his palm to gesture at his throat...
Li Xiuyuan's expression did not change, but he did not communicate his inner thoughts to Ximen Lone Star.
Everything in the winery was handed over to Xiaohong Li Qiushui. Seeing that it was the end of summer, he no longer had any nostalgia for this town.
For the arrival of this day, he has prepared a winter festival and a spring. Just as he said to Li Qiushui, I am invincible in Ding'an City, so why should I be afraid of this heavy rain?
Looking at the absent-minded Ximen Lone Star, Li Xiuyuan said quietly: "Listen, after this moment, you and I are no longer brothers!"
