old friend wine

Tea is good tea, and water is good water.The tea is the top Dahongpao that Xu Qinghan brought out from the palace, the water is fresh snow water roasted and melted on the fire, the brewed tea is bitter and fragrant, the taste leaves a fragrance on the lips and teeth, and the aftertaste is lingering.

It's a pity that there is good tea but no good food, Xu Qinghan couldn't eat the hard biscuits.In order to store it for a long time, not only is there no filling in the cake, but even more water can’t be put in it. After heating it on the fire, there is very little water. Can this thing be eaten?Xu Qinghan was deeply suspicious.

Shen Ci lifted the small casserole and walked in, opening the curtain of the tent, steam was bubbling from the air holes in the lid of the pot.Xu Qinghan's eyes lit up, he put down the dry biscuit and asked him expectantly, "What did you cook?"

Shen Ci put the casserole on the ground, lifted the lid and showed Xu Qinghan, "Ginger soup."

Xu Qinghan backed away with a wrinkled face, "It smells bad, drink it up and don't sleep on me tonight."

Shen Ci said with a smile that was not a smile, "Ginger soup is to drive away the cold. Of course, whoever suffers from the cold will drink it. I am in good health."

"I'm not sick either!" Xu Qinghan denied it flatly, then turned his head and sneezed.He said embarrassingly, "I'm not sick, so I don't want to drink this."

Shen Ci squatted in front of him and raised his head to discuss with him, saying kindly, "My good brother, it's inconvenient for us to go out now, so hurry up and get rid of it while the wind and cold are still mild, don't procrastinate."

Xu Qinghan covered his nose and said, "Can't I take medicine? It's not like you don't know that I don't take ginger."

"Okay." Shen Ci looked embarrassed, and said hesitantly, "It is said that the medicine is three-point poisonous, or you should drink the ginger soup?"

"Stop talking nonsense, go boil the medicine!" Xu Qinghan put his hands on his back and pushed him out, pointed at the casserole and said, "Take this away too."

Shen Ci stood outside the tent with the casserole in his arms, opened the curtain of the tent a little and told Xu Qinghan, "Eat the cake, you can't drink medicine on an empty stomach. Or you can drink ginger soup."

"I know!" Xu Qinghan bit off a bite of the pancake fiercely, as if he had a deep hatred for it.

Shen Ci lowered the curtain, revealing a smile that had succeeded in the plot.If you just told him to eat and drink medicine, I don't know how many conditions Xu Qinghan has to say, but now that he is willing to propose it himself, it is really easy to kill two birds with one stone.

Xu Qinghan ate the dry biscuits like taking medicine, and then drank a can of real anti-cold medicinal juice, so bitter that his eyebrows were squeezed together.Shen Ci stuffed a candied fruit into his mouth, sat in front of him and talked about the business, "My lord, today I had a dispute with Linghu on the itinerary, please give me an idea. That's what I think, now... ..."

Xu Qinghan interrupted his words by putting his index finger on his lips, and said bluntly, "According to what you think, you must be doing it for my own good anyway." He yawned lazily, "Go to sleep, drink up The medicine will make you sleepy."

It is true that the road was unimpeded according to the route Shen Ci said, but Linghu's worry was not groundless, and it was indeed fulfilled-they arrived too late, and a small-scale riot broke out among the refugees in the disaster area. It was suppressed, but after all, it left a very bad influence, and about half of the victims died of cold and starvation.

Xu Qinghan looked at the devastation after the natural disaster, the heavy snow crushed nine out of ten houses, the refugees were displaced, there was no shelter in the cold wind, refugees who died of cold and starvation were often seen on the roadside, they were male, female, old Few, life is so fragile in the face of natural disasters.

Xu Qinghan walked on the snowy ground that did not reach the top of his boots, looking sadly at the tragic images of the mourners.He eats the salary of all the people in the world, and he should be loyal to all the people in the world, but what he did, he was late for three days because of his own selfishness. If he had brought the relief supplies earlier, the uncold bones on the roadside might not be there. tragic death.

Suddenly, a weak but stubborn force came from the ankle, as indomitable as a vine.At first, Xu Qinghan really thought that he had gotten into something, but in the next moment he heard a call for help as thin as a gossamer, "Help...help, I..."

Xu Qinghan quickly knelt down and brushed away the snow, only to find a ragged girl hiding under the cover of the snow!Her face was pale from the cold, her eyes were half-opened weakly, and her slender fingers tightly held Xu Qinghan's ankle.

Shen Ci frowned, stretched out his arms to stop Xu Qinghan's helping hand, squatted in front of the girl, stared at her and said, "Let me do it." Shen Ci grabbed her waist and pulled her out of the snowdrift, and put it in her ear Bian whispered, "Girl, be quiet and don't play any tricks in front of me."

The girl hung on Shen Ci's shoulder softly and bonelessly, and replied intermittently, "Benefactor...what is the benefactor talking about?"

Shen Ci sneered, "It's best if you don't understand. If you understand, pretend you don't understand, or I will kill you!" The girl was tortured by the snowstorm, and her hand was still slender and fair. , it is extraordinarily delicate and beautiful, which is not normal.It's just that these clues can't prove that the girl is a villain, and Shen Ci is not easy to make public.He thought that if the girl had evil intentions, she should also be targeting Xu Qinghan. As long as she was kept away from Xu Qinghan and had no chance to get close, naturally she couldn't make trouble.So he quietly slowed down, and quietly retreated to the end of the line, always on guard against this girl of unknown origin.

It takes time for the supplies to be distributed to every refugee, not to mention that there are too many monks and too little food. Now it seems that not every refugee will be allocated bedding money and food.Xu Qinghan went farther and farther to inspect the people's conditions, and gradually penetrated into the refugee area that had not yet received relief.

Xu Qinghan's clothes and boots from head to toe are gorgeous and extraordinary, his face is fair and clean, and his black hair is tied up meticulously, which contrasts sharply with the ragged, sallow and emaciated refugees.First, a middle-aged man ran up to Xu Qinghan with a sleeping two or three-year-old child in his arms, knelt down with a plop, kowtowed and bowed, and sobbed, "Benevolent and benevolent old man, you Quickly save our family, my son is starving to death, please save the child, he is still so young, please save him!"

Xu Qinghan bent down to touch the child's flushed face, and found that he was probably not asleep, but fainted from cold, hunger, fever, and fever.He subconsciously turned around and wanted to ask Shen Ci what to do, but he saw Shen Ci hanging far away at the back, hugging that pretty girl very affectionately.Xu Qinghan felt slightly awkward, curled his lips and said to Linghu, "Give them some dry food and money."

"Yes." Linghu took off the package on his back, took out a piece of dry biscuit and a few pieces of silver and handed them to the middle-aged man.

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, thank you!" The middle-aged man put the things in his arms gratefully.

"My lord, save me too, help me!" Seeing this scene, the refugees who were staring at each other instantly burst into flames and rushed forward like a tide, waving their skinny hands as if they were grabbing straws, baring their teeth and claws. Catch Xu Qinghan.Xu Qinghan hurriedly took a few steps back, and shouted loudly, "Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient, supplies are already being distributed one after another, don't make a mess!"

But how could the victims whose eyes were red from cold and hunger listen to this, now Xu Qinghan and his party are incomparably delicious fat in their eyes, they wish they could eat it alive.Thousands of refugees swarmed forward, and the human wall built by the guards held their hands. Even if they were skilled in martial arts, they couldn't withstand the rampage of so many refugees who had almost lost their minds.

The light knife glowing with cold white light abruptly cut off the leading arm, and blood gushed out like a spring in an instant, drawing a bright red arc in the air.Shen Ci's breath sank into his dantian, pouring his inner strength into his voice, and a clear shout hit everyone's heart like a drum, "Stand back! Whoever dares to take a step forward will lose his head!"

Controlling violence with violence is the most effective way to quell chaos, and the bustling crowd fell silent for a moment.Shen Ci seized this opportunity and continued, "His Royal Highness King Yan has promised that your supplies are being distributed. You have a chance to survive, so why are you going to die at this time?"

The dazed refugees calmed down a bit, looking at each other, not knowing what to do.Then the refugees on the outskirts began to disperse. Someone opened the door, and the refugees retreated in a short while. Only the refugee who lost one arm was still rolling on the ground in pain holding the wound, and the remaining large clusters on the snow. The bloodstains told of the tragedy just now.

Shen Ci tapped his acupoints to stop the bleeding, covered his right hand with his sleeve, and secretly gave him an ingot of gold, "I'm sorry to kill chickens and monkeys, I'm sorry." This ingot of gold is enough for his family to spend their entire lives in affluence.

Xu Qinghan kicked him resentfully, and reprimanded in a low voice, "I'll give you an ingot of gold, can I cut off your arm? How could you do this? Can't you just talk about it if you have something to say?"

Shen Ci sighed, "Your Highness, how can you tell me to speak well? Will they listen to you? You will be trampled into meatloaf."

"I thought you and I would be in the same mind, but we turned out to be completely different." Xu Qinghan said with a little disappointment, "I am an official of the imperial court, and I always remember the principle of 'people first'. You first suggested a detour on the itinerary, Let so many people die in vain, and then hurt innocent refugees on your own initiative, how can you treat human life like nothing?"

Shen Ci closed his eyes and exhaled, lowered his eyes and said slowly, "I will bear all the consequences alone, please forgive me."

"You bear it, can you afford it?" Xu Qinghan gritted his teeth and sneered, "So many lives, what burden do you take?"

Shen Ci said with a blank face, "The subordinates speak lightly, the most valuable thing is this life, if the prince wants it, just take it."

After the two quarreled, they started a cold war.

Xu Qinghan was wrapped in a quilt and huddled in the bed alone, Shen Ci tricked him into eating, he couldn't swallow those rough meals at all, from noon to now he didn't eat a single grain of rice, and he was still too hungry to sleep until late at night.

Shen Ci didn't sleep either, he sat on the wall holding a jar of poor stale wine, and poured it into his stomach mouthful by mouthful.This wine does not have any bouquet at all. It is hot and spicy at first, and the aftertaste is sour and astringent.But it is suitable for Shen Ci now, Shen Ci needs such a strong wine to get himself drunk, otherwise he is really uncomfortable.It's a pity that God never fulfilled people's wishes. Most of the altar of wine was drunk, and his stomach began to throb, but he was still sober.

Who is he doing all this for?He has martial arts, even if he takes that dangerous road, what danger can threaten him?Wasn't it because of Xu Qinghan, how could he tolerate Xu Qinghan's slightest mistake?He is not a bloodthirsty person, on the contrary, he has a soft heart, and he does not want to hurt anyone unless he is forced to.But for Xu Qinghan's safety, he cut off an arm of an innocent person without hesitation, and he was the one who felt the most guilty.In the end, how did Xu Qinghan treat him?He blamed everything he did, not even a "I know you're doing it for my own good", which he didn't appreciate at all.

The wine choked into the throat, Shen Ci leaned over and coughed violently, the wine flowed around, and even his nose began to be hot and uncomfortable.Shen Ci pinched his nose and slammed down the wine jar, the wine jar was smashed to pieces, and the remaining half of the jar of wine poured out.

The wine jar was broken at Xu Qinghan's feet, and in the middle of the night, he came to search for Shen Ci alone, and while walking, he was thinking about how to talk to him, but was almost hit on the head by the wine jar.Xu Qinghan subconsciously exclaimed and took two or three steps back, surprised to look up at Shen Ci who was sitting on the wall.Shen Ci also looked down at him when he heard the movement.

Xu Qinghan stomped his feet and glared at him, "As for you, you're going to smash me to death with a wine jar after a few words with you, you're too narrow-minded!"

Xu Qinghan's every move was extremely lovable in Shen Ci's eyes, and with just one glance, he forgot most of the depression in his heart.Shen Ci smiled and explained earnestly, "It wasn't intentional, I didn't expect you to come out so late."

"Is this wine?" Xu Qinghan smelled the strong smell of wine, and he hooked his fingers at Shen Ci, "Don't use the wine to drown your sorrows, shall we go back to sleep? I have thought about it for a long time tonight, and you definitely don't want to be Bad guy, you are really doing it for my own good, I shouldn't have said that to you."

"Okay, go back to sleep." Shen Ci jumped off the wall and walked back with Xu Qinghan's arms around her waist, "A husband and wife fight at the head of the bed and make peace at the end of the bed. There is no overnight feud. I can understand your feelings too, you are not like me Having seen so many bloody scenes, seeing a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood must be unacceptable at first, and I should understand your feelings."

Xu Qinghan hooked his fingers and said, "Three chapters of agreement, in the future, if there is any disagreement, it's okay to quarrel, it's okay to lose your temper, but it can't exceed one day. We have worked so hard to be together, and we won't be separated easily! "

"Okay." Shen Ci kissed him on the forehead.

Xu Qinghan pushed him, and said in disgust, "Don't kiss me, your mouth is full of alcohol, rinse your mouth well in a while."

Happiness is like water in a quilt, it is almost overflowing.
