The rivers and lakes ask the heart but not the way

"Drinking alone is so boring!" The Seventeenth Young Master sat down at Wu Shuangzi's table.

Wu Shuangzi raised his head and looked at the uninvited young man in front of him, only to see that he was dressed vigorously and had picturesque features.In a pair of careless eyes that seem to be smiling but not smiling, there are spring and autumn, ice and fire, peach blossoms and fine wine.

"Shopkeeper, add another cup!" The Seventeenth Young Master unceremoniously found a comfortable sitting position, raised one foot and stepped on the bench.

This is a small tavern, with five or six tables separated by half-open bamboo screens, and some guests are seated in twos and threes.Although the tavern is small, it is far away from the market. It is built near the river at the foot of the green hill.The tables and chairs are wiped clean, and there is a guqin by the counter.

Before the shopkeeper handed over the cup, Young Master Seventeen impatiently took the empty cup in front of Wu Shuangzi, filled it up, and drank it down in one gulp.

"Bah——" he suddenly spit the wine on the ground, "This is no wine! It's lighter than white water!"

Wu Shuangzi looked at this stranger who suddenly broke in but took it for granted, he took the new cup from the shopkeeper, and said, "Shopkeeper, change it to the strongest wine."

Seventeenth Young Master smiled at him contentedly.

Before that, Wu Shuangzi didn't know that there were people in the world who could smile so beautifully.

The shopkeeper swiftly put on a pot of new wine, and said, "You two, use it slowly, this wine is so strong! It is said that it was made in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was called 'three bowls but no post'."

"Hahaha, we don't fight tigers!" The Seventeenth Young Master laughed, and the phrase "we" was very natural.

Wu Shuangzi filled him a glass first, and the aroma of the wine exploded immediately. It was really good wine, so he filled another glass for himself, said "whatever you want", and drank it down first.

"Okay, have fun!" Seventeenth Young Master also drank a glass.

Sometimes people are so strange, when facing acquaintances, they can cover up in every possible way, but when facing strangers, they can reveal their hearts.It seems that there is no burden to confide your troubles to a person you meet by chance. Even if you know some privacy, because he is too far away from your life, you are always quite safe.

And the dark night and fine wine increased the urge to talk.

"People are alive, after all, there are more troubles and less happiness. How many people in this world can really find a confidant?" Wu Shuangzi drank two glasses to himself, as if he was asking the other party, and also seemed to be talking to himself.

Young Master Shiqi accompanied him for two cups, and said: "Life is short, who has no troubles? For example, I have too many troubles, so I am free from troubles." After another cup, "If everyone can find a confidant , what is so strange about the high mountains and flowing water?"

After drinking for three rounds, I was slightly drunk.

Wu Shuangzi sighed: "Taoists say that there is no wave in the water, and that you are too forgetful. After all, it is because the world is uncertain and warm and cold, so you have a mentality of avoiding the world. If you are so negative, why bother to come to the world? No matter how long you live It's boring."

The Seventeenth Young Master laughed: "So, life is alive, fast horse spirits, happy day is a day, live an extra day and earn a day."

"Well said, do it!"

"Dry!"

The two sometimes sighed and answered each other, and sometimes sang and sang. It was not like meeting for the first time, but it seemed to be a reunion after a long distance.

Wu Shuangzi asked slightly drunk: "When you first came in, there was no sound under your feet. I think your lightness kung fu is good, but you can't hear the inner strength in your voice. What kind of kung fu did you practice?"

"I don't have any martial arts, but lightness kung fu is not bad." Of course, he also has some hidden weapons.

"Is there such a thing? Although people who practice martial arts can learn some lightness kung fu, but I have never heard of only learning lightness kung fu and not learning other things. After all, light kung fu is used to escape, and it is only used when you can't beat it. Why don't you learn some normal skills?" Er Ba Jing's martial arts?"

"Both of my parents died when I was young, and no one taught me." It was the first time that Seventeenth Young Master mentioned his childhood to someone.

Wu Shuangzi was silent, he didn't expect the seemingly happy person in front of him to feel pity for him: "Me too. But I'm better than you, I was raised by Master."

After that, the two talked a lot more, the wine was exhausted, and the excitement was not over.

When Wu Shuang came out, he was in a hurry and didn't bring much money with him. Now, three bowls are not enough to drink, and three altars are not enough to drink.He casually fumbled in his pocket, and it was cool, remembering that it was the tassel of jade that he took off earlier.

I don't know when, the shopkeeper came to Yaxing, fiddled with the guqin on the counter, and sang without saying a word:

"It's as majestic as Mount Tai, as majestic as a river...

Those who know me say I am worried, those who don't know me say what I want..."

His voice is neither clear nor high-pitched, but rather vigorous and simple in its hoarseness, which is not of a special flavor.

Hearing these words, Wu Shuangzi's heart surged with enthusiasm, and he slapped the ear of jade on the table, as if he had the pride of selling eternal sorrows together: "In exchange for wine, if you don't get drunk tonight, you won't return!"

Young Master Shi Qi saw that although this piece of jade was not very expensive, but the red tassels were very delicately woven with care, he guessed it seven to eighty-eight, and said with a smile: "How can a beautiful woman's token be used to pay for wine, she will be sad." But There was no sadness in his tone.

"Then how do you deal with it?"

"I'm sorry, just give it back to her."

Wu Shuangzi shook his head and said: "I can't repay the love she gave me. Even if I repay the jade ear, I still owe her. What can she do if she takes back the jade ear? Seeing sad, it's hard to give it away. No, it’s a pity to throw it away. It’s better not to return her.”

"Hahahahaha, well said!" Seventeenth Young Master laughed loudly.

The shopkeeper took the jade pendant and brought up three jars of wine and four or five small dishes.The two drank until late at night, their voices getting louder and more incoherent.

Wu Shuangzi swayed left and right to pour wine for Seventeenth Young Master, but poured half of the glass directly on the table: "I...haven't asked yet, what's your name..."

"I, no... no name, my parents are dead, dead... no, no name."

Wu Shuangzi patted his chest: "I will... give you my name... From now on, your name will be... Li, Li, Li Songquan!"

"You're stupid!" Young Seventeen laughed so hard that he fell on the bench. The name sounded familiar, but he drank too much and couldn't remember it for a while, "No, no, let's go, Walking down the street...someone shouts, shouts...are you going to turn around, or, or... am I going to turn around?"

Wu Shuangzi felt that what Young Master Shiqi said made sense, so he thought about it seriously drunkenly, and said: "Mingyue... Songjianzhao, Qingquan... Shishangliu, my name is... Li Songquan, you Call, call... Li Yueshi."

After being briefly unconscious for two seconds, Young Master Seventeen struggled to prop his head up on his neck, and protested weakly: "It sounds terrible..."

Just before he got completely drunk, he seemed to hear Wu Shuangzi say——

"Word... Ruoyu."

--------------

After a hangover, the Seventeenth Young Master woke up on the bed in the inn. He didn't know how he got back to the inn, nor how long he had slept. He only felt that his head was as heavy as lead.

He washed his face with cold water, felt a little better, and began to think about where to go next.

Xiangyang is the sad place of "that person". Since "asking the heart" and "not asking the way", is it possible that the tomb of "that person" is not on the island at all, but in this sad place? "That person" said that Xiaoyao people should go to Xiaoyao, but he is a real grandmaster who is invincible at the big festival. Although Xiangyang is sad to him, he is really worthy of pride.

He felt that it was necessary for him to go to Xiangyang.

The Seventeenth Young Master swung his whip fast, and as soon as he left the Great Victory Pass, he ran into an old friend who was drunk last night.After a brief moment of surprise, the two laughed.Tie Guanzi on the side looked puzzled.

Fate, amazing.

Since we are going to Xiangyang together, we will go together.

Tie Guanzi asked: "May I ask what the young hero's name is?"

The Seventeenth Young Master replied: "My surname is Li, and my first name is Yueshi. I am ranked seventeenth, and I am known as the Seventeenth Young Master."
