for evil

As the weather turns cooler, people in the market wear thicker clothes.

Aunt Mei opened the courtyard door, leaned back and looked outside, and sighed: "It's autumn!" After counting the days, today is the day to deliver wine to the tavern. She pinched her forehead and walked slowly into the backyard. , to pick up the jars of new wine that my husband opened yesterday.I didn't pay attention, tripped over a stone at my feet, and couldn't get up again.

I invited a doctor to see it, and the doctor explained that it was a cold, and it was enough to rest for a few days, not to work too hard, left a bottle of medicinal wine for sprains, prescribed a few prescriptions, and left.

Aunt Mei has been extremely restless since the doctor left, and went down to the ground in a hurry, and said, "It's not like golden branches and jade leaves, how can it be so precious? Today is the date for the wine delivery, how can we delay? Let me deliver those jars of wine first." talk later."

Aunt Mei's husband pulled her and leaned on crutches and said, "So what if I deliver it a few days later? The tavern owner never cares about these things, so let's wait until you feel better?"

Aunt Mei shook her head: "It is precisely because the owner of the tavern is so talkative, we can't drag him down because of our problems. This is a matter of reputation. I heard that his wine has long been in short supply, but we also know that we have not yet reached the time to start drinking. If you don't send it off, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to explain. But it's just a few trips, I'll go back as soon as I go!"

Mu Qing and A Xiong, who came to visit the doctor, naturally couldn't let her do this, so they took the initiative to ask Ying to bring wine.

Aunt Mei was even more embarrassed: "Is there any reason for us to sit idle and drag you down?"

Ah Xiong smiled purely: "Aunt Mei just remembers to leave a jar with us as a reward next time we open a cup of wine!"

Aunt Mei no longer shied away, and smiled.

Unexpectedly, the room was leaking and it was raining overnight, so the dilapidated little wheelbarrow that Aunt Mei used to transport wine suddenly stopped working at this moment.Aunt Mei's husband looked at it and frowned: "The wood is old. We need to prepare new wood and repair it for a few days."

Aunt Mei was anxious on the bed: "Otherwise... let's not send it off."

Mu Qing said gently: "That's okay."

A Xiong said with a smile: "Let's make a few more trips."

Xiao Ke also stepped forward to help, grinning his teeth, lifted a slightly smaller wine jar by himself, and went out behind Ah Xiong Muqing.Xiao Lian also wanted to go, but because she had a whooping cough recently and was weak, she was stopped by everyone.

Three figures, two big and one small, were walking on the street, and Ah Xiong was out of breath, carrying a few jars of wine, and said to Mu Qing, who was also carrying a load: "Looking at the young master's thinness, I didn't expect to be so strong."

Although Mu Qing was not panting, Chen Ye, who was hiding not far behind him, saw a drop of sweat dripping down the back of his slender neck.

Chen Ye knew that Mu Qing was hidden in the world, and it was inconvenient to use fairy arts, so he subconsciously wanted to step forward to help, but subconsciously stopped, watching the thin and thin man carrying a burden drift away, finally turned around and returned to Longbow Lane.

At this time, it is autumn, and the golden osmanthus blossoms on the corner of the street, leaving a fragrance all over the street.

Axiong looked at the osmanthus tree that passed by, and said: "This year, the osmanthus road is in full bloom! I heard that osmanthus flowers are popular in Jiangnan to make wine. It tastes sweet and delicious, which is very good!"

Mu Qing said: "Last year I brewed a few jars, a few of them added my secret recipe, it was exactly one year, and it's time to drink these days, how about I give you a jar when it's unsealed?"

A Xiong said: "Then thank you, Mr. Mu Qing." Then he said: "So Mr. Mu Qing still has his own wine-making skills? Then I can't shirk it."

Mu Qing said: "Yes, this wine is a friend of mine's favorite drink, and it is brewed to wait for him to come." At the end, the corner of his mouth slightly raised: "I want to come, but it is just in time."

After Mu Qing and the others came back from delivering the wine, they were about to carry the second round, but they saw Aunt Mei's family was in a gloomy state. After asking, they found out that the wine was lost again!

Aunt Mei coughed sadly, her eyes were red from crying: "I was lying in the house to rest, and my husband was boiling medicine in the woodshed. In a blink of an eye, all the jars of wine in the yard suddenly disappeared! There was nothing left. Cough cough...this damn thief...how should I live!"

Xiao Lian on the side whispered crazy words: "The jars flew by themselves! They flew away by themselves!"

Aunt Mei said, "Stop talking nonsense! Could it be that wine has grown wings?"

Xiao Lian looked innocent: "Really, you are in the house, only I am in the yard, and I watched it fly away with my own eyes!"

Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, and said to A Xiong: "Will you go to the tavern with me again?"

Axiong nodded suspiciously.

The owner of the tavern was doing some calculations, and when he heard the inquiry from the two, he hurriedly nodded his head: "All the wine has been delivered, you guys sent it once, and then a young master came to deliver it, and I brought all the wine. The counting has been completed, and the amount is just enough." After saying that, he took out the broken silver and gave it to the two: "This is the wine money, please order some, thank you for your hard work."

Back at Aunt Mei's house, several people still looked in disbelief, Aunt Mei said, "Is this haunted?"

Only Mu Qing said: "Maybe it's because some kind-hearted people are helping. Now that the matter is over, don't pursue it."

Hiding by the door, Chen Ye was secretly relieved when he heard this.

One day later, Chen Ye watched Mu Qing go out as usual, and followed behind him secretly, but saw Mu Qing turn around and close the door, took out a folded letter from his arms, stuffed it in the crack of the door, and turned around Go away in style.

Chen Ye looked at Mu Qing's back, then at the note stuffed in the crack of the door, and finally went up to take it out, only to see the word "Tie Qi" written on it.Chen Ye laughed, it seemed that the "thief" was talking about himself.

Chen Ye opened the letter, and his heart beat violently, and saw that it read:

"Thank you for the wine delivery yesterday. The house has newly opened osmanthus wine and a few side dishes. It will be considered as a reward. It will take about an hour for me to come back. During this period, you can taste it yourself."

Chen Ye put down the letter lamp, looked towards the place where Mu Qing left, and there was no sign of him there.

Chen Ye was full of thoughts, grabbed the letter and read it again, stood there for a long time, then gently pushed the door and entered.

The courtyard is not big, and the blue bricks and white tiles are quite old-fashioned. Several flowers and plants are planted in the courtyard, which are neatly trimmed.

Entering the hall, the purpose of entering is Chen Shuwanqian and a few antiques, which are quite elegant.Sandalwood was smoked inside the house, but what caught Chen Ye's attention even more was the aroma of wine somewhere.

Following the smell of wine, Chen Ye turned to behind a screen: there was a small round table with four or five small dishes and snacks and a jar of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and the smell of wine came from here.

Chen Ye sat down, his heart was like a pool of water blown by the wind in midsummer, it was warm and rippling involuntarily.

Chen Ye took a sip of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and another sip of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, the taste was familiar in his throat.Chen Ye picked up the chopsticks, gulped down the side dishes on the plate, and gulped down the sweet-scented osmanthus wine in the altar.Thoughts can't help but drift back to that not-so-long-term and extremely long-term place, when Mu Qing, Yuan She, and Dong Yin were all there, gathered around a table to drink happily with each other, and had a good night without any scruples...

The wine is hot in the throat, but it is even more desolate when it enters the heart.

Chen Ye glanced at the wine jar that was emptied in an instant, and thought: Mu Qing's good wine was ruined for nothing...

When Mu Qing came back, everyone had already left, and the cups and plates had been washed and put back in place.

Mu Qing thought, at least she has some conscience; looking around, there was nothing left, as if she had never been here before, and she felt that she really had no conscience...

In the next few days, Mu Qing still stuffed the note inside the door, and Chen Ye still took the note and ate and drank for nothing.They didn't meet each other, but maintained a consistent tacit understanding.

Until one day, Chen Ye ate another note from the gray steamed bun, took a look at it, was startled suddenly, with a complicated mood, looked at the rest of the meal, and no longer had the appetite to gobble it up.

What was written on the note was: "I'm leaving tomorrow, what are your plans?"

When Mu Qing came back, what he saw was still a clean and tidy round table. He looked around expectantly, but he didn't find any of his words.

In the evening, Mu Qing had just turned on the lamp, and lay face down on the bed sideways and fell asleep.But suddenly, I felt a breeze blowing behind me, and then the bed was lowered, and someone was lying on it!

Mu Qing shuddered, and wanted to turn around immediately, but felt a slightly cold hand covering his shoulder to stop him.

Behind him, a deep and slightly hoarse voice said: "Don't turn around... let's just say that, okay?"

Mu Qing was very familiar with this voice, he relaxed and stopped moving.

"it is good."
