The wine shop at the foot of the mountain is closed today.
There was a carriage parked outside the door, and the carriage was already covered with a thick layer of snow.
In the house, a child with rosy cheeks was playing with a dim light dagger and couldn't put it down.
"Mom, when will I learn the swordsmanship that Master left for me?"
The proprietress of the wine shop arranged the greetings in her hands and said softly: "You, you don't even know the words, it's still early."
"Mom knows me. Mom teaches me."
The woman stopped what she was doing, stepped forward and rubbed the child's little head, her eyes full of tenderness and doting.
"Mom doesn't need to know this. When we go to the city, Mom will find a private school for you. You can study hard. When you know how to read, Mom will find a martial arts school for you. By then, you can practice your sword well. "
At this time, the innkeeper came down from the second floor, holding two large bags in his hands and saluting.
Hearing the conversation between mother and son, he grinned and said, "My dear son, tell me, why do you have to practice swordsmanship?"
"Didn't I tell dad about it?"
The child carefully wrapped the dagger to prevent the sharp blade from hurting anyone.
"Dad was often beaten by people in the mountains. Mom cried every time. There were also some people who drank wine without paying. Not only did they not pay, but they also beat people."
"If I have any skills, I can protect you."
"Then I will travel around the world and become a great hero!"
Hearing this, the couple looked at each other and smiled as if they understood each other.
They have worked hard all their lives and guarded this wine house for most of their lives.
Their son wanted to learn martial arts, but they had always disagreed. They felt that children like them should accept an ordinary life instead of dreaming of becoming martial arts masters.
A dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, a mouse's son can make holes, and accepting mediocrity is not a bad thing.
Besides, how many warriors go up the mountain throughout the year, and how many come back alive?
Until that day, someone gave their precious son a short sword.
Since then, the little guy has been in a daze. Originally he did not dare to sleep alone at night, but now as long as he holds this sword, he is not afraid of anything.
The couple thought about it and finally decided to respect and support the little guy.
I've been keeping this tavern for half my life, and I've saved some money over the years, so it's time to go to the city to have a look.
Then I can make a living by doing some small business in the city, and the little guy's dream of practicing martial arts can also come true.
If it hadn't been for the extremely heavy snow today, they would have been on their way to Jiangzhou City...
"Okay! Okay! My son will definitely become a great hero in the future!"
"But every hero has a name. Have you decided what to call him?"
Zhidong thought about it seriously and said, "Our family is a wine seller. When I finish my studies, I will be called...Jiu Sword Fairy!"
"Jiujianxian? What a name, what a name! Hahaha..."
at this time.
"Bang!"
The door was pushed open, and Feng Xue rushed in immediately.
Immediately afterwards, a group of people wearing light blue robes walked into the wine house.
"Shopkeeper, serve the wine! Cut a few more kilograms of beef!"
The leading man dropped the sword on the table with a clang, his voice as deep as an ox's.
The innkeeper wanted to refuse, but when he saw the ice crystal pattern embroidered on the other party's chest, he immediately swallowed his words.
He can't afford to offend the Hantianmen people!
"Okay, please wait a moment, gentlemen!" The shopkeeper said to his wife, who understood and quickly walked to the kitchen with the child.
The Hantian Clan disciple who ordered the wine glanced at the luggage on the table and asked, "Is the store going to leave?"
"Haha." The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Yeah, I've been frozen here for most of my life and haven't made any money. I'm thinking of going to Jiangzhou City to make a small living. No matter what happens, I won't be freezing every day, right?"
"Come on, come on, this is the best wine in the shop. I'm treating you all to today. I'll cook some hot dishes later, and it's free of charge!"
"Yes, something will happen."
The disciples of the Hantian Clan pushed cups and changed cups. After a few cups, their bodies also warmed up.
"Senior brother, we messed up this time. How will we explain it when we go back?"
"What else can I do if I'm punished? I have to go back, right?"
"Senior Brother, Junior Brother finally has a way, maybe we can avoid punishment..."
"Oh? Tell me."
The man lowered his voice and said: "Since the sect master touched the threshold of transformation, there have been fewer and fewer people who dare to go against our Hantian sect."
"Because of this incident, I heard that there are many fewer herbalists in the sect, and the sect master is quite upset about this..."
"Do you want to...get a few people to go up the mountain? But why did I hear that the sect master plans to wait for the young sect master's wedding to use the disciples of Jiange as medicine men? Although Jiange is lonely, there are still about a hundred people, enough Has it been a while?"
"Hey, senior brother, the young sect leader's wedding is still a few days away. When did our sect leader ever think that there are too many medicine people?"
"This...well, there is some truth to this, but you have a bright idea."
"Senior brother taught me well..."
"Then where do you think we can get it? It's impossible to kidnap people, right? I heard that the Queen Mother has returned to Jiangzhou, and the young sect leader has specifically told us not to cause trouble for a while."
"Hey, our Hantian Clan is a well-known and upright sect. How can we do such a thing? Let's see, senior brother..."
After saying this, the disciple drank all the wine in the cup.
Then his whole body was shocked, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth!
"Yes, yes...it's poisonous! Senior brother! There's poison in this wine!"
"What?!"
Upon seeing this, the leading disciple understood the situation and jumped up immediately, glaring at the shopkeeper who was pouring wine not far away.
"The bold thief who dares to poison my disciples of Hantian Clan must die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he drew out his long sword and stabbed the innkeeper!
The shopkeeper didn't even know what was going on. His right arm felt cold, and then he saw blood splashing into the wine vat.
"..."
"Ah...ah!!!"
Heart-rending screams rang out, and the mother and son rushed out of the kitchen.
"What's wrong? How is this...ah! The boss! The boss!!!"
"Dad? Dad!!!"
The disciples of the Hantian Clan held Qingfeng in their hands and shouted sternly: "No wonder they invited us to drink wine and eat meat. It turned out that the wine was poisoned! What a shady shop, with such a vicious heart. Today, I, the Hantian Clan, will act on behalf of heaven and eliminate violence and bring peace to the people!"
The shopkeeper's face turned pale in pain, but after hearing this, he still held back and said: "Wine, how could there be poison in the wine... It's unfair, it's unfair, my hero..."
"Unjustly accused? You mean... you weren't the one who administered the poison?"
The man pretended to be deep in thought, and then said: "We Hantianmen will not wrong anyone, but this wine belongs to your family, and my junior brother is indeed poisoned."
"In that case, then you will come up the mountain with me and let the sect master decide. I will give you an explanation if I am innocent or not!"
After burning incense, the Hantianmen disciples, who had eaten and drank enough, took the Jiushe family up the mountain.
The wind and snow were very light, so I couldn't stop them earlier.
The wind and snow were so heavy that they were unable to leave early.
The candles are extinguished, the horses neigh, and the fireworks are laden with nowhere to go.
Snow covers the sky and covers thousands of mountains, but it never melts the coldness in people's hearts.
