Me and my Jianghu Tavern

"Stupid Niannian, if you don't believe me, ask your grandma."

"Then, then, isn't Niannian going to turn into a pig's head?"

"Hmm, yes, you are going to become a pig's head."

"Wow! Woooo... don't turn into a pig's head every year, don't want to be every year."

It is not once or twice that a scene like this has happened, and it has been tried and tested.

Every time I can provoke Niannian to cry, I ran back to her grandma to ask if it was true, and it took a long time to coax her back every time, and then came back with sweet dumplings the next day Looking for Li Muzi, he was made to cry again, crying, looking very pitiful.

Sure enough, what a stupid kid.

"Big……"

"I don't eat sweet dumplings."

"Oh, baji baji, um, the dumpling is really delicious."

"Do you think I, Muzi Li, would want to eat it if you slapped it? It really is a stupid Niannian."

"Wow, big brother is so powerful, you can guess it all, hehe, I went to see my grandma every year, and I won't play with you anymore."

The severe drought lasted until winter, and it snowed heavily at night, and the desolation was covered by this heavy snow.

Li Muzi put on his cloak and pushed open the gate of the courtyard.

Looking around, there is a vast expanse in front of your eyes, the houses are covered with white clothes, the dead branches at the door are also bloated with silver bars, and the snow is flying in the sky, thousands of pieces are flying all over the sky.

Li Muzi glanced at the two people guarding the door, and they all stared at him tightly, not letting him go out for half a step, Li Muzi could only look at the door.

It snowed continuously for three days and three nights without stopping, Li Muzi sat in the room, fiddling with the charcoal in front of him, rubbing his hands from time to time, shivering even in the room.

Li Muzi looked up at Nian Nian who rushed in from the door, seeing her anxious face, he asked, "What's wrong?"

The little girl looked anxious, and said in a panic: "Grandma, she won't move anymore!!"

The old woman who made dumplings died on a snowy night.

The incident happened suddenly, the old woman was already old, coupled with the continuous snowy night, she couldn't make it through, and the old woman was already cold when she took Li Muzi over every year.

Li Muzi was silent, and the smile of the past was no longer on his face.

"Big brother, what happened to grandma?"

"Fell asleep."

"Yes... are you asleep?"

"Well, don't worry, don't bother your grandma, let's go."

Li Muzi took Niannian's hand back to his room, he was very glad that Niannian was a stupid doll.

When the little girl fell asleep, Li Muzi walked to the door, but he couldn't go far, because there were two people staring at him at the door.

Under the dead pear tree, Li Muzi heard from year to year that one of the old woman's sons died of famine in her early years, so she dug four feet two and buried the old woman.

Li Muzi thought that when he gets up tomorrow, the place will be covered by heavy snow without any trace, otherwise he doesn't know how to deceive that stupid Nian Nian.

In order to dig the four feet two, Li Muzi's hands were red from the cold, and he even lost consciousness. He silently glanced at it, and returned to the yard under the urging of the two people watching at the door.

Dead people are too common, Li Muzi also saw a lot, that night he thought for a long time, until the next morning he came up with an answer - perhaps because he can no longer eat salty dumplings.

"Big brother, where's grandma?"

"Grandma has gone outside and will be back soon."

"How long will it take?"

"I don't know, your grandma said it will take more than ten days."

"Ten, ten days... Wow!!! Good, it's so long, woo woo, I want grandma."

"Stupid Niannian, your grandma doesn't want you anymore."

"Cheat Niannian again, woohoo."

Li Muzi looked at the stupid baby crying with a runny nose in front of him, reached out and touched her head, thought for a long time before answering, "Well, I lied to you."

You just think I'm lying to you, stupid Niannian.

Grandma will never come back again, Muzi Li cheated this stupid little girl again.

No matter how many times she will be fooled, she will be fooled for a short time, but this time, Muzi Li hopes to be fooled for a longer time, because she is too stupid.

The heavy snow still didn't stop. Li Muzi sat on the threshold and looked at the dead pear tree outside. The snow fell on the branches of the pear tree, as if the pear blossoms were blooming.

Nian Nian sits next to Li Muzi and rubs her hands, as if she is waiting for her grandma.

Li Muzi took off his cloak and threw it on Niannian's body, saying: "If you don't wear more clothes, you will catch cold."

"Don't worry, if grandma comes back, she won't be able to recognize her after changing her clothes every year."

"..."

Li Muzi was stunned, feeling very uncomfortable, he didn't know what to say, he turned his head and continued to look at the withered pear tree in front of the door.

The two guards in front of the door changed, the previous one seemed to be frozen to death, and they didn't bother Li Muzi, since he was trying to pass the boredom.

"What is Big Brother looking at?"

"Look at the flowers."

"Flowers? But I haven't seen flowers every year."

"Look at that pear tree, the white branches look like pear blossoms."

"It's Xue, and she wants to lie to Niannian."

"I said 'like' not 'yes' and you're still as stupid as ever."

"Niannian is not stupid."

Chapter 156: Pear Blossom Sword God ([-])

Li Muzi, who was locked in the small courtyard, waited for this winter to pass away slowly, but the stupid year was looking forward to his grandma day and night, no matter how cold the weather was or how biting the wind was.

"Big brother, why hasn't grandma come back yet?"

"Didn't I say it all, grandma doesn't want you anymore, stupid Niannian."

"I don't believe you. How could grandma not want me?"

Niannian asked this question almost every day, and Li Mu responded with a smile every time.

He was suddenly a little afraid that he couldn't pretend, this stupid doll was so annoying, he was afraid that he would say it accidentally.

One day, Li Muzi opened the door and looked towards the door. Looking up, she felt that something was missing on the door rail. Almost every day at this time, she would sit there waiting for her grandma every year, but today she was not there. .

"Every year!!"

Li Muzi got a little anxious, and shouted in the small yard, and then there was a reply from the stove, and after hearing the reply, Li Muzi felt relieved and walked into the stove.

"Stupid Niannian, you are doing..."

"Brother, do you want to eat dumplings?"

Li Muzi was slightly taken aback.

In front of him, Niannian was covered in carbon dust, and his face was even smeared in patches. He was holding a white cake in his hand, which was very different from the dumpling made by his grandma.

"How do you know how to make dumplings?"

"I learned it from my grandma before, but I don't really know it every year."

Li Muzi took the 'tuanzi' from Niannian's hand and asked, "What flavor is it?"

"Sweet." Niannian said happily, her favorite food is sweet dumplings.

"Sweet dumpling..." Li Muzi stood on the spot, the sweet dumpling in his hand was steaming, as if he had thought of something, he accidentally sent the 'dumpling' into his mouth.

I don't know how much sugar is put in this dumpling, it's so sweet.

"Big brother, is it delicious, is it delicious?"

Li Muzi came back to his senses, looked at the half-bitten dumpling and the sweet taste in his mouth, and replied: "...it's okay."

"Really!? Is it really delicious?" Niannian looked at Li Muzi expectantly, wanting to hear his answer.

Muzi Li breathed a sigh of relief, put the remaining dumpling into his mouth, stretched out his clean left hand to touch Nian Nian's head, and said, "I'm lying to you, it's not tasty at all, really stupid Nian Nian."

"It's a lie, it's obviously delicious!"

As Li Muzi was walking, the little one behind him kept nagging in his ear, saying that the dumpling she made was delicious.

Looking back, Muzi Li didn't know why he ate that dumpling. He never ate sweet dumpling. He tasted sweet dumpling again for many years. Sure enough, it was still as unpalatable as ever.

Since that time, I have gotten up every morning to make dumplings, only sweet ones, not salty ones.

"Big brother, does he eat dumplings?"

"Is it sweet again?"

"alright."

"Then, bring it." "Wouldn't it be nice to make some salty dumplings next time?"

"No, Niannian likes to eat sweet dumplings."

Li Muzi ate the sweet dumpling in his hand, the more he ate, the darker his face became, he remembered that he was not like this before.

This damned sweet dumpling is not tasty at all, but every time he sees the stupid Nian Nian looking forward to it, he will still take it and eat it in one bite, even though it is hard for him to eat.

If I had known earlier, I would not have let this stupid kid stay here. Now I eat sweet dumplings every day, and they are so sweet that Li Muzi almost forgot the taste of salty dumplings.

The heavy snow stopped and fell for ten days. This was the biggest snow Li Muzi had ever seen in his life.

Pile after pile of corpses were piled up outside the city. These were all people who were frozen to death on a snowy night. Yingchuan was only a small town. There were thousands of people who died in the heavy snow, and even a few .

In this chaotic world, it is common for innocent people to die every day, freezing to death and starving to death. For Li Muzi, being confined in this small courtyard can at least prevent him from seeing the sight of corpses all over the place. Death will not be just a few people, this heavy snow is just the beginning.

There is no time in the small courtyard, and the winter has passed in the blink of an eye.

The rebel army became active again, with more than half the number of people compared to before the winter, and most of them died in this winter.

And the people guarding the gate of the small courtyard have changed many times, and they were all frozen to death. Sometimes Li Muzi felt guilty, because he made a joke, and he didn't know how many people were destroyed.

Winter is over, spring is here, and that also means...

The purge of the court is coming.

Tens of thousands of soldiers marched from Chang'an, overcoming obstacles all the way. The rebels who did not surrender at the beginning were all reduced to prisoners. They took back five cities one after another, and finally arrived at Yingchuan.

There were only a few thousand rebels in Yingchuan City, and there were more than ten thousand people before winter, but they died in the snowstorm, which was nothing more than sending them to death.

The army is approaching the city.

Tens of thousands of people piled up under the city. The rebels were terrified and surrendered one after another. Of course, there were those who were not afraid of death. When they rushed up, they were shot to death. With almost no effort, the rebels in Yingchuan were defeated.

Those rebels who were afraid of death tied up Si Shan and wanted to save his life. Of course, the rebels who didn't know the truth couldn't let Li Muzi go. After all, he was the 'leader' of the rebels.

Li Muzi in the small courtyard heard the sound of chaos outside, went out to look, the person guarding the door had disappeared, turned his head to look, the street was in chaos, everyone was running.

Some people slaughtered at will with a knife, and dragged a person behind even thinking about death. These people are lunatics.

Nian Nian poked her head out curiously, and said curiously, "Big brother, it's so lively outside."

"Don't come out." Li Muzi pressed Niannian's head back, not letting her see the chaotic scene outside, he knew in his heart that the army suppressed by the imperial court had already invaded Yingchuan.

Yingchuan is broken.

Li Muzi hesitated in his heart, whether to compromise or to fight his way out like those lunatics.

Although he is just a puppet leader, the imperial court may not let him go. This is a capital offense, and even if the imperial court will let him go, the people will not let him go, because of the name of a rebel leader.

While he was hesitating, a group of people had already rushed towards the small courtyard, Li Muzi closed the door immediately, these people came to take credit for him, they would definitely not give up if they had a chance to survive, he is no different from a man now The rebels wanted him, and the imperial court also wanted him.

Niannian held a sweet dumpling in his hand, took a small bite and looked up at Muzi Li, asking, "Does Big Brother eat dumpling?"

Li Muzi was slightly taken aback, he hesitated.

He understands that the worst thing for him is to die, and he is not afraid of death. There is no way to change this situation.

But Muzi Li didn't know what to do with this stupid doll beside him.
