drunk drunk Changan

Already dead?

Maybe still alive.

Shen Lu sat up from the hospital bed with difficulty, and looked at the surrounding environment.

Familiar Chang'an County, Jingzhao Prefecture, Jin Kingdom, familiar... Zheng Yiqing's house.

A faint medicinal fragrance filled the room, as always.

There is no one in the empty room.

There were voices outside the door.

"Ziqing, tell me the truth, how many years can you last?"

"At most until next year."

"Hey...he can't do it anymore, and you can't do it either, but I still have to live."

"You still have wine with you."

"After tasting Shen Nianchuan, there is no fine wine in the world."

"Shen Nianchuan?"

"It's not wine, but something more intoxicating than wine..."

With a creak, the door opened.

The two people sitting on the edge of the platform outside the door turned their heads and saw Shen Lu staggeringly push the door and go out.

Shen Lu and the two sat down side by side without saying a word.

Li Jiu looked at Shen Lu beside him, speechless.

Zheng Yiqing walked away knowingly.

Long silence.

It is summer, and there are often cicada noises.

The sun is sinking, the wind is coming, and the leaves are ringing.

Chang Geng was unique.

The clouds are dark, the sky is dark, and the earth is dark.

Galaxy hanging.

The coolness is gradually growing.

Under the moonlight, Shen Lu's already extremely haggard face looked like a ghost.

There are people in the world who are not afraid of ghosts and gods.

Li Jiu turned sideways and hugged the ghost sitting next to him tightly.

Shen Lu spoke, her weak voice was almost drowned out by cicadas: "Li Jiu... You said that there is really reincarnation in this world?"

"Perhaps as you often say, even if there is, the past life has nothing to do with this life."

"Oh..." Shen Lu gently pushed Li Jiu away, lowered her head and covered her eyes, "Buddhas say that there are eight sufferings in life, birth, old age, sickness, death, parting from love, meeting resentment and hatred, not getting what you want, and five yins .Buddhists also say that there is reincarnation. After reincarnation, there will be a new round of eight sufferings in life. Unless you jump out of reincarnation, there will be no liberation from reincarnation.”

"But you don't believe in Buddhism."

"Yes... I don't believe in Buddhism, but I can't refute the Buddhist rhetoric."

"so?"

"So..." Shen Lu felt his throat burning with karma, and his voice became hoarse, "So when I found out that I, who had always hated reincarnation, was now looking forward to reincarnation, I was scared."

"Why?"

"The reason you like me is reincarnation, and the reason I hate you is also reincarnation." Shen Lu took a deep breath and then exhaled, wanting to say something more, but was unable to speak for a long time.

After a long time, it was finally Li Jiu who broke the silence: "They all say that reincarnation is suffering, but I would rather suffer from reincarnation forever than die and disappear without seeing you again."

"Even if you forget everything, meet each other but don't know each other, know each other but don't know each other, or even become enemies?"

"It will be indefinite after it's over."

"But the more I look forward to it, the more afraid I become, and I don't even believe in reincarnation at all." Shen Lu widened her dry and sunken eyes, "You can hug your pile of antiques and pretend that Li Jiu is really reincarnated. But it becomes more and more clear that there is only one you in this world, and there is only one me, and death...is death."

Li Jiu picked up the wine gourd that he carried with him and handed it to Shen Lu.

Shen Lu, who was already sick like a ghost, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud: "You really wish that I would die early and be reborn early!"

Li Jiu looked at the sky full of stars: "You can live and die with me, pretending that we can meet again in the next life."

"Heh...hahahaha...what are you talking about?"

"I didn't drink today."

Shen Lu pushed the wine gourd back in front of Li Jiu: "Come on, drink some wine to sober up, don't talk drunk."

Li Jiu held the wine gourd and looked at it for a while, and finally lifted it up and drank it.

The wine flowed down the corner of Li Jiu's mouth, crossed his collarbone, and fell into the skirt of his clothes, staining Shen Lu's cheeks red.

Drunk.

Shen Lu leaned forward and took a sip of the residual wine on Li Jiu's lips.

No wine, only Li Jiu.

I couldn't help but go deeper, greedily seeking the intoxicating sweet taste between my lips and teeth.

Just the right temperature is addictive, just like a jug of wine that is just warmed up.

Wine takes water as its shape and fire as its nature.Touched by the tip of the tongue, it is full of tenderness like water and hotness like fire.

If you can get drunk and die in it, you will have no fear of death.

"Well... Shen Lu..." Li Jiu grabbed Shen Lu's hand that had been moved to his waist, "This is the Zheng family..."

Shen Lu moved away a little bit, and asked softly, "Is the person you like, the me in front of you, or the so-called my previous life?"

Li Jiu looked at Shen Lu who was close at hand, but did not answer for a long time.

Shen Lu didn't urge her, her hoarse and dry voice couldn't hide her gentleness: "It's getting late, let's go home."

"Ah."

"Do I have to take some medicine to hang my life?"

Li Jiu looked at the sky: "Probably."

Shen Lu put her hands on Li Jiu's shoulders to support her, and slowly got up: "Let's go, find Zheng Yiqing."

……

When he found Zheng Yiqing, Zheng Yiqing had just put down the medicine bowl in his hand.

"Brother Zheng, now I'm the same as you!" Shen Lu laughed at herself.

Zheng Yiqing sighed: "Come with me."

Thus, Shen Lu and Li Jiu were led by Zheng Yiqing all the way to the door of a pharmacy not far from Zheng's house.

Yiweitang is the name of the pharmacy.

Gu Huabai is the name of the shopkeeper of the pharmacy.

The dim light did not clearly outline Gu Huabai's outline.

Shen Lu had seen this man before.

He was one of Situ Hongye's followers, and it was the one who pushed Shen Lu down Qujiang Pond.

Seeing Zheng Yiqing, Gu Huabai showed a hearty and soft smile: "Master, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Shen Lu followed Gu Huabai's gaze and glanced at Zheng Yiqing.

The curvature of Zheng Yiqing's mouth was slightly different from usual.

Shen Lu understood.

This person is the key to Zheng Yiqing's downfall of the Situ family, and also the reason why Zheng Yiqing believes in reincarnation.

After Gu Huabai and Zheng Yiqing spoke a few words, they went to get the medicine.

Li Jiu looked at Gu Huabai's back, lowered his eyes, and turned to Zheng Yiqing: "He is still the same, but you have changed a lot."

Zheng Yiqing smiled wryly: "I'm already deeply infatuated."

Li Jiu turned his head away and stopped talking.

Not long after, Shen Lu took the medicine, bid farewell to Zheng Yiqing and Gu Huabai, and walked home with Li Jiu.

Li Jiu was surprisingly quiet.

Shen Lu glanced at Li Jiu, and asked casually: "Is he the one you said, the one who dragged your friend from Jiuchongtian to hell?"

Li Jiu nodded lightly: "There is always only one thing in this world that can make people happy forever."

After a moment of silence, Shen Lu squeezed Li Jiu's hand: "That's wine."

"Hey?"

Shen Lu looked at Li Jiu, but he was half drunk before drinking: "You can still get drunk if you throw money into the water, Shen Nianchuan."

Li Jiu was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Hahaha...hahahahahaha..."

"Don't shake." Shen Lu's steps were a little unsteady.

Li Jiu stopped laughing, and the smile in his eyes didn't diminish: "Shen Lu, I like you."

Shen Lu was taken aback for a moment: "Which one do you like?"

"In this life, I like you in this life." Li Jiu's answer is very affirmative this time, "Even if I have an afterlife, I don't allow him to like you, only you in the next life."

Shen Lu only felt that today was an alcohol addiction, and she was always greedy for the little bit of alcohol on Li Jiu's lips.

Before I knew it, I had arrived home.

Shen Lu didn't even want to open the door lock, she directly pressed Li Jiu against the door, raised her head and sealed Li Jiu's lips.

The night is hazy, and the summer leaves are regarded as spring flowers.

…………

……

A few days later, Shen Lu took Li Jiu to the porcelain kiln where wine jars are usually ordered.

"Boss Shen, are you here to order wine jars again?"

"Correct."

"Is it still the same as before?"

"Add a few words this time."

"What word? Where is it added?"

Shen Lu pointed to the body of a jar in the store: "There is no reincarnation in the world, and there is no reincarnation. Sign Shen Lu."

"Hey? Hey?" The owner of the porcelain kiln was a little puzzled.

Shen Lu didn't change her face, and continued: "Three hundred, all of them do this."

"No problem, just add money."

Soon, Shen Lu ordered the wine jar.

After leaving the porcelain kiln, Li Jiu was still in a daze.

Shen Lu clasped Li Jiu's hand and asked softly, "You want to ask me why?"

Li Jiu nodded.

Shen Lu smiled and said, "You said that your past life memories are all from antiques, so in the next life, will our current wine jars also become antiques?"

Li Jiu was startled.

"If you really have an afterlife, even if there are hundreds or thousands of afterlife, I hope they will no longer be trapped in reincarnation. Do not believe in reincarnation, is the right way to escape from the suffering of reincarnation."

Li Jiu looked at Shen Lu who suddenly became energetic today, and suddenly had some ominous premonition: "It's my fault, I didn't see clearly earlier."

Shen Lu shook her head: "Stop talking about this, go home and have a drink with me."

Back home, Shen Lu took out the wine that had been in the cellar for more than ten years and was brewed when she was young and just learning to make wine.

Li Jiu was silent.

Shen Lu smiled, "Don't make a sad face, just smile."

Li Jiu looked at Shen Lu in a daze, and forced a smile.

Shen Lu unsealed the wine and poured it into the cup: "Li Jiu... would you like to sing a song for me?"

"...What are you singing?"

"Everything is fine."

Li Jiu thought for a while, finally took a sip of the wine in his glass, and sang Cao Mengde's "Duan Ge Xing": "When you sing about wine, how much is life?"

Shen Lu raised her glass, drank it down, and filled the glass again.

"For example, in the morning dew, it is hard to go to the sun."

Shen Lu closed her eyes and listened quietly to Li Jiu's singing.

"You should be generous, and your worries will be unforgettable."

I just regret not being able to live in the storybook, reincarnation is real, and the reincarnated people will be able to meet each other.

"How to relieve worries, only Du Kang."

……

"Green Zijin, Youyouwoxin."

……

"But for your sake, I have been pondering until now."

……

"Yo Yo Lu Ming, eat the apple of the wild."

……

"I have a guest, playing the lute... Shen Lu? Shen Lu?"

The wine glass was tilted on the table, and the drinker was too drunk.

Li Jiu raised his glass and drank the wine in the glass, and continued to sing.

"Tomorrow... Ming... Like the moon, when... can we stop."

The wine in the glass is salty.

"Sorrow comes from...in...and cannot be...broken...absolutely..."
