Temperament

Shen Qinglan's eyes slid across Zhuo Tianyi's face, staring at the bright moonlight shining in from the window on the ground, and asked, "What time is it today?"

Zhuo Tianyi has been in a coma for so many days, and he can't answer what is the day and what is the night, Zhuo Xin replied: "My lord, today is the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Mid-Autumn Festival..." Shen Qinglan murmured, "No wonder the moonlight is so bright."

What he said casually, but Zhuo Tianyi's ears were full of sorrow, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon and the moon, he originally planned to spend time with Shen Qinglan in Zhuo's Bieyuan by the Xianghu Lake in Suizhou, but he didn't expect it to happen. into the present scene.

He handed the spoonful of porridge to Shen Qinglan's side again, "Take a bite, okay?"

"Zhuo Tianyi." Shen Qinglan raised her head and called him suddenly, her tone was so calm that it was frightening, and her gaze, as bright as the moonlight outside the window at this time, was cast on his face, making him feel that there was nowhere to escape.

Zhuo Tianyi's heart palpitated unceasingly, such eyes and tone made him dare not respond, for fear that in the next moment, those words of farewell to life and death would come out of Shen Qinglan's mouth so calmly, and he would be caught off guard.

But he had no choice but to respond, so he could only keep his tone as steady as possible, and said softly, "I'm here, what do you want?"

"I want to drink." Shen Qinglan said these four words calmly, which caused great sadness in Zhuo Tianyi's heart. Shen Qinglan had never asked for a drink, and he had never even asked for it, whether it was food or clothing. , or something else, I have always been the only one who arranges it for him and forces it to him.

Looking at Shen Qinglan's sunken eye sockets and pale complexion, he deeply understood in his heart that with such a weak body, drinking alcohol would definitely hurt his body and kill him, but under the gaze of those calm and bright eyes, he refused I can't speak the words.

"Okay," he heard himself say, "what would you like to drink?"

"Drunken Spring Breeze," Shen Qinglan said these words clearly, "Is it okay?"

"Yes, I'll drink with you." Zhuo Tianyi resisted the sharp pain in his heart and replied.Taking a deep breath, he turned around and ordered Zhuo Xin to go to Zhuo Shi'an and ask him to send someone to Meng's Restaurant in Jinyang City to buy drunk spring breeze.

Zhuo Xin was very anxious when he heard it. Seeing that Zhuo Tianyi had really agreed to Shen Qinglan, he was very anxious, "Master, you and your son are not suitable for drinking now, it's too hurtful!"

Zhuo Tianyi shook his head, "Go if you are told, hurry up!"

Zhuo Xin wanted to say something, but Zhuo Tianyi waved at him, and he had no choice but to accept his order and leave.

Outside the door, Zhuo Shi'an heard Zhuo Xin's report, and his jaw almost dropped, "My ancestor, how can you drink alcohol at this time, it's too nonsense!" Riding horses to Meng's restaurant to buy wine, after all, Zhuo Tianyi's orders were never discounted.

After sending Zhuo Xin back to the east chamber to take care of him at any time, he ran to the front yard with his robe in his hand, found Gu Qingyang who was busy with family affairs in Zhuo Tianyi's study, and told Zhuo Tianyi's instructions.

Gu Qingyang's face was serious, and he told him to hurry to get the doctor and the precious medicinal materials from the medicinal material shop, and he immediately called Zhou Yunlei and other disciples, and rushed to the backyard of the east chamber.

When the two altars of Zuichunfeng were bought, Zhuo Tianyi and Shen Qinglan had already arrived in the courtyard. Zhuoxin spread cushions on the stone bench under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, and brought the wine utensils and side dishes to the stone table.

Zhuo Tianyi sent all the servants including Zhuo Xin out of the main courtyard, leaving only him and Shen Qinglan in the courtyard.

Shen Qinglan didn't pay attention to anything, just caressed the altar of drunken spring breeze on the table, bent down and took a deep breath.

Zhuo Tianyi walked up to him holding the porridge spoon, and begged: "Eat some porridge to pad your stomach first. I haven't eaten for so many days. If I drink like this, my body will not be able to bear it."

Shen Qinglan acted as if she hadn't heard it, with a smile on her face, "Drunken Spring Breeze is my favorite wine, it's sweet and long-lasting. Before, my brother never let me drink too much."

Zhuo Tianyi's heart ached, and Shen Qinglan's appearance was not moved by him at all, but was completely immersed in the memory.

"However, I often secretly drink his treasured wine when he is not around. I only drink one or two glasses at a time, and I won't notice without him." Shen Qinglan raised her head and smiled at Zhuo Tianyi, with a hint of wit and wisdom in her eyes .The silvery moonlight shone on his face, adding a bit of luster to his eyes that were bigger and brighter due to his thinness.

That was a look that had never been seen on his face for so long, even though he was so weak at this moment, he was much happier than before.

Feeling ashamed and sad, Zhuo Tianyi was cruel, "Okay, I'll have a drink with you today!"

As soon as the words fell, I heard the doctor called by Zhuo Shi'an who was already guarding the door shouting, "You can't do it, young master, the wound on your body has just stopped bleeding. At this moment, when you drink alcohol and the blood heats up, the wound will open immediately. It's gone!"

When he said this, the other disciples, as well as Zhuo Shi'an, stopped and tried to comfort him.Zhuo Tianyi was upset when he heard that, and said loudly: "Get out of the east chamber and wait at the gate of the chamber!"

Zhuo Shi'an wanted to say something more, but Gu Qingyang stopped him, "Don't say anything, Tianyi has his own opinion, let's all go out." He took the lead out of the east chamber, and with his leadership, the other disciples and Zhuo Shi'an had no choice but to out.Several doctors sighed and went to the kitchen in the front yard to prepare medicine.

In the main courtyard, Zhuo Tianyi endured the wound pain caused when he spoke loudly just now, and patted the mud of a jar of wine with his empty hands. Just as he was about to lift the jar and pour wine into the cup, Shen Qinglan stepped forward to hold the jar He raised his face and took a sip of the wine, the iron chain on his wrist touched the jar, making a crackling sound.

The hot wine flowed through the mouth and down the throat into the stomach that had not eaten for many days, causing bursts of burning pain, and a heart in the chest seemed to be ignited by the pain, and suddenly burned.

A little wine flowed out from the corners of his mouth, moistening his chapped lips, adding some color to his pale and haggard face under the moonlight.

Zhuo Tianyi felt as if a knife was stirring in his heart, so he simply opened another jar of wine, picked it up and took a long gulp.As soon as the wine entered his throat, he tasted the strong taste, and his heart and mind became even more anxious. Shen Qinglan's body would be hurt by such strong alcohol. He no longer dared to think about it, and could only vent his anger. I poured it into my mouth fiercely, as if this could offset the anxiety and pain in my heart.

Shen Qinglan closed her eyes, and slowly felt the fiery pain spreading from the inside to the outside at the moment, "It's the drunken spring breeze from the south of the Yangtze River. After all these years, the taste still hasn't changed at all." She raised her head and took another sip.

Zhuo Tianyi also took a big sip, sat on the stone bench, and said sadly: "It tastes good, no wonder you can miss so many years, and don't want to drink eye-catching instead."

Hearing his pun, Shen Qinglan smiled, "Do you know why I like Drunk Spring Breeze so much? It's because," he looked up at the full moon hanging in the dark blue sky, his voice became distant, "Drunk Spring Breeze Chunfeng is the first wine I drink in my life."

"At that time, I was only 12 years old. On Shituo Mountain, that is, when I was going to Miao Village, near the ferry where the fleet was waiting, I encountered a mountain torrent. It was Meng Huaiyuan who rescued me. That day was also August [-]th. I remember It's very clear. That night, on Meng's boat, he made me drink a small cup of drunken spring breeze in order to drive me out of the cold in the mountain torrent."

"The first time I drank wine, and the first time I met people outside the mountain, it was all brought by Meng Huaiyuan." Shen Qinglan's voice was full of intoxicated spring breeze, even though it was an autumn night.

Although the night wind in mid-autumn is not as good as the mountain wind in Miao Village, it is also cool, but he doesn't feel cold, and his heart is immersed in the memories, which reminds Zhuo Tianyi of the day on the boat when Shen Qinglan talked about "Yueren" The miraculous appearance in the story of "Song".

Only now did I know that the place the boat passed that day was simply a revisit for Shen Qinglan.No wonder he can relentlessly pursue it in the water like that, and he doesn't hesitate to use that method to stop him when he wants to confess his love.

He didn't want to leave a new story in that place at all, but only wanted to preserve the irreplaceable legend many years ago.

The pain in Zhuo Tianyi's heart gradually came to life, and with the sweet and mellow smell of wine raging on his chest, he stretched out his hand to wipe it, and his hand was wet with dark color.He didn't care about it, he just lifted the wine jar and poured it into his mouth.

"Meng Huaiyuan took me back to the Meng family, and asked his father to accept me as an apprentice, and I became his youngest apprentice." Shen Qinglan's narration continued in a mouthful of intoxicated spring breeze, "He treated me like a younger brother, taught me I can read and write, and treat people well, but unfortunately I can't practice the Meng family's martial arts, so he told me that he is a brother, but he is actually a master and apprentice, but he is not a master and apprentice who teaches martial arts."

"With him, I never worry or fear. I believe that he can always appear by my side when I need it, just like he appeared in the flash flood to save me when I was in danger. Later, I I found out that he was the one I was looking for... I fell in love with him like this, those were my best years, eight years. When I was 20 years old, I came here..." Shen Qinglan's voice became softer, with The inevitable bitterness and regret.He looked down at the wine jar in his hand, and took another big gulp when he lifted it up.

The burning fire in her chest and abdomen began to turn into pain like a stabbing knife. Shen Qinglan frowned slightly, her eyes were bright, her feet seemed to have stepped on clouds, and she was flying in memories and thoughts.

"Senior brother is the root of my journey. Without him, I would not be where I am today. I remember that at the beginning, I didn't even dare to say a word. I felt scared when I saw strangers. It was him who let me let go of my guard little by little. Into the world of mortals; also he, let me feel, what is warmth, what is caring..."

"Back then on the Qianlong River, Master asked me to send Limeng keepsakes to Zhuting. When my brother sent me to the trestle bridge, he said that when I went back, he would warm a pot of drunk spring breeze for me. I didn't expect... oh, said Wake up, he still owes me a pot of drunken spring breeze."

Shen Qinglan laughed, a tear rolled down the corner of her eye, "But I don't want to ask him anymore, I'm too tired... Tonight is the last time I'll be drunk."

As he spoke, he raised his head and drank half of the wine jar, and finally closed his eyes, uttered in pain and dizziness, "Thank you for accompanying me, Zhuo Tianyi."

Zhuo Tianyi was heartbroken when he heard it, his chest was hot and humid, he stood up holding the stone table, and staggered to him, "Don't be like this, there is not only Drunken Spring Breeze in the world, there are other kinds of wine, you can't blind yourself, Qing Lan !"

"But I'm already tired, and I don't want to drink anything else, so I put it down." Shen Qinglan shook her head, eyes still closed.

Zhuo Tianyi stared deeply at the past, Shen Qinglan's words were filled with the meaning of going home with the wind, which made him very sad and frightened, he held Shen Qinglan's shoulder with one hand, "No, I beg you, don't give up! Even if you can let go of the wine that Meng Huaiyuan owes you, you can't let go of what I owe you. I have done so many things to you, don't you want to get it back from me?!"

Shen Qinglan opened her eyes, looked at him seriously for a while, then asked with a smile: "I've even let go of Meng Huaiyuan, what else can't let go?"

The author has something to say: Mr. Zhuo and Shen Mi did a crazy little thing together—drinking spirits with a serious injury, just a word!
