Chapter 80
The moon is on the west building, and the lights are on.

Fuzhou Fuchengmen West Street, the signboard of Fuxian Restaurant, illuminated by two red lanterns, is more eye-catching than in the daytime.

Ye Di and Xie Xingnan sat facing each other in front of a rosewood table on the third floor. There were four side dishes and seven bottles of wine on the table. Tofu and couple's lung slices, and the seven wine bottles are filled with three different Sichuan wines: Wuliangye, Luzhou Laojiao and Wenjun wine.

Ye Di picked up a pot of Wenjun wine, slightly raised his hand towards Xie Xingnan, took a sip to himself, and said, "Brother Xie, do you know why I invite you to this restaurant to eat and drink?"

Xie Xingnan held chopsticks in his hands and faced the table full of Sichuan food. He didn't know where to start. He grew up in the south of the Yangtze River. Most of the ingredients in Zhejiang are light and sweet, but he doesn't like spicy recipes like Sichuan food.

Hearing Ye Di's words, Xie Xingnan put down his chopsticks, picked up a wine bottle and filled a glass, and said, "But it has something to do with Sapphire?"

Ye Di patted the table and said with a smile: "That's right, the table we are sitting at now is the one where Sapphire drank and ate vegetables that day!"

Xie Xingnan also became interested and said, "How was the situation that day?"

Ye Di let out a long breath, and said: "The relationship is tortuous, for a moment, but let me start from where to start."

Xie Xingnan pondered and said: "Let's start from the day when Brother Ye captured and killed Mao Busheng, how about it?"

Ye Di said: "It is said that that day in Tian Qi Mansion, Lan Yu captured Mao Busheng, one of the top ten villains, nicknamed Clean and Clean, and plundered him all the way out of Tian Mansion..."

At the moment, I will talk about how Lan Yu captured Mao Busheng, how he confronted Du Tong Du Sha and so on.

When it was said that Lan Yu looked at the rich and powerful people in the city like nothing, sitting alone in the restaurant drinking and reciting poems, Xie Xingnan's handsome eyes also shot out the charming demeanor, and he sighed: "There is such a thing in the world." It's a pity that I didn't get to know him before he was alive, such an extraordinary man with a strong heart."

He raised his wine glass and poured a few sips, only to feel that most of the pot of hangover pierced into his heart like a sharp knife, which was indescribably spicy and pleasant.

Ye Di laughed, picked up the wine bottle and took a few sips, slapped the table with his palm, and said: "Zhuo Wenjun sells wine like a lord, and the blue-shirted man flails his whip, it's amazing..."

This Wenjun wine is a famous Sichuan wine. It is taken from the elegant story of Zhuo Wenjun selling wine in the Tang Dynasty, but the wine is also very strong.

Xie Xingnan laughed, and then asked: "But who killed this Mr. Lan?"

Ye Di's eyes dimmed, he shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "I don't know who killed Lan Yu."

Xie Xingnan asked strangely: "Oh, why is that, didn't you two leave together that day?"

Ye Di shook his head and said: "No, when I rushed out of the building yesterday, Lan Yu was stabbed to death with a sword, I didn't see who killed him."

Xie Xingnan frowned slightly, and pondered: "Then could it be that the friends from the rivers and lakes outside the building took advantage of the chaos to plot against him and killed him?"

Ye Di said: "Absolutely not."

Seeing Ye Di's decisiveness, Xie Xingnan couldn't help but wonder: "Oh, why is Brother Ye so sure?"

Ye Di's eyes suddenly became far-reaching, as if recalling Lan Yu's strange smile yesterday, he murmured: "I'm sure, Lan Yu and the man who killed him must recognize each other, and there is a relationship between the two of them. , there must be some kind of strange connection. It's a pity that he refused to say the name of that person until his death..."

Xie Xingnan's eyes also fell on the bustling night market outside the building, he was a little dazed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.After a while, he just said: "Brother Ye thinks, is there really a secret cave in that Mao Busheng?"

Ye Di frowned, looked at Xie Xingnan who was sitting opposite, shook his head and said: "I don't know." After thinking for a while, he continued: "But I do know that Sapphire's lack of hair is definitely not for the sake of his secrets. gold and silver in the cave."

Xie Xingnan's eyes flickered, and he wondered: "Oh, it's not for gold and silver goods, so why?"

Ye Di looked at Xie Xingnan, and said word by word: "The reason is that the white silver needle..."

"Baihaoyinzhen?"

When Xie Xingnan heard Ye Di say these four words, his face showed a slightly thoughtful look, and he continued: "Isn't the white hair silver needle a famous tea in Fujian?"

Ye Di's heart moved, and he blurted out and asked: "Why, Brother Xie also heard about this tea?"

Xie Xingnan nodded, and said with a smile: "My father likes to drink tea, so I have a lot of research on famous teas from various provinces. This white silver needle belongs to white tea. It is produced in Zhenghe County, Fujian Province. It is known as the beauty of tea and the king of tea. Not only does the tea taste mellow and pleasant, but it also has a special taste when soaked in water."

Xie Xingnan smiled slightly, and then said eloquently: "After the tea is brewed in the cup, there will be white clouds and suspicious light. The cup is full of floating milk, and the buds stand upright. It can be said to be a spectacle."

Ye Di listened to Xie Xingnan narrate the ins and outs of the white hair silver needle like a few treasures, and he secretly admired it in his heart.But I heard Xie Xingnan continue to say: "There is another story about this white silver needle, I wonder if Brother Ye is interested?"

Ye Di asked: "Oh, what else is the story?"

Xie Xingnan took a sip of wine and said, "That's a legend about the silver needle."

It is said that one year long ago, there was a long drought and no rain in the Zhenghe area, and plagues were everywhere. There were several fairy grasses beside a dragon well on Donggong Mountain. The grass juice could cure all diseases.Many brave young people went to look for jelly grass one after another, but they never returned.Among them was a family, three brothers and sisters, Zhigang, Zhicheng and Zhiyu, agreed to take turns looking for the grass jelly.

On this day, the eldest brother came to the foot of Donggong Mountain, and an old man walked out from the side of the road and told him that the fairy grass was next to the Longjing on the mountain.Zhigang climbed to the middle of the mountain in one breath, and saw the mountain full of rocks, which was eerie, and suddenly heard a loud shout, "You dare to go up!" a rock.

Zhicheng then went to find the fairy grass, and when he climbed halfway up the mountain, he turned back and turned into a boulder.The task of finding the fairy grass finally fell on Zhiyu.After she set off, she also met the white-haired grandfather on the way. He also told her not to look back and waited for words, and gave her a piece of baked glutinous rice cake. Plugging his ears and determined not to look back, he finally climbed to the top of the mountain and came to the Dragon Well. He picked the buds and leaves from the fairy grass and watered the fairy grass with well water. The fairy grass blossomed and formed seeds. Zhiyu picked the seeds and immediately went down the mountain.After returning to his hometown, he planted the seeds all over the hillside and they became white needles.

Ye Di listened to Xie Xingnan's legend without saying a word, his eyes showed confusion and thought.Xie Xingnan lifted the wine bottle and took a sip, and said, "Only in this mountain, the clouds are deep. Even if the world knows in advance that if they turn around, all previous efforts will be wasted, but those who can really persevere to the end..."

Ye Di suddenly stood up, stared at Xie Xingnan and said sharply: "You, what did you just say?"

Seeing his appearance, Xie Xingnan was slightly startled, forced a smile and said, "What, what? I said white silver needles..."

"No, no, you said it's only in this mountain, and there's nowhere in the deep clouds. Right?"

Xie Xingnan rolled his eyes, and thought to himself that you came to ask me what I did even though you heard it.Ye Di couldn't help chanting these two lines of poems repeatedly, and murmured: "Only in this mountain, I don't know where the clouds are deep, and I don't know where the clouds are deep..."
