Lord, pay for the wine

Under the strong request of others, Zong Jinyu briefly told them what he had seen and heard on the way to the bandit's den and how he felt in the bandit's den, and everyone was yearning after hearing it.

Because there were no other guests to disturb, they just kept making noise until dinner time.But in order to prevent father ran from knowing what they were doing, Yan Anxuan asked the chef to prepare the dinner early on.

"Ah, what I saw and heard today is enough for me to live for several years." Lin An sighed.

"Xiao Wu, your life height is really low, just this thing is enough for you to live for a few years, so how did you survive before?" Xiao Er said mockingly.

"The run-on crisis that the inn faced last time allowed me to survive until now. The last time I was fooled by the shopkeeper and signed a contract of sale, I persisted until the time when the inn was run on, and..." Lin An snapped his fingers one by one. counting.

"Wait...wait a minute!" Yan Anxuan interrupted him: "Did I fool you? You signed it voluntarily, and it's not a contract of sale, it's just evidence that you owe me money. Could it be..." Yan Anxuan He grimaced, and then said: "If you want to renege on your debts, be careful that I will cut you~"

"No, no, no, we have been here for two years, if we want to renege on our debts, we would have already left." Lin Yuehua hurriedly explained.

"Hehe, I almost forgot if you didn't tell me, I remember you guys ran past." Yan Anxuan's face was still grim.

"Huh?" Lin Yuehua and Lin An were confused.

"I don't remember, you don't even remember. That time I asked you to buy a vegetable and you bought it for a day. It was dark and you couldn't see your big hands. You haven't come back yet. In the end, I asked my father to wait at the inn. So, I mobilized a large number of folks to look for you two, and finally found you two in the deserted mountain temple in the south of the town. The vegetable market is obviously near the Temple of Fortune in the north of the town, okay? You two messed with me so much How dare I forget the big trouble! You ungrateful bastard!!!" Yan Anxuan said angrily.

"...Yes, I'm sorry, shopkeeper!" Lin Yuehua and Lin An bowed deeply, and said loudly: "Shopkeeper, we made a mistake, next time..."

"And next time?"

"No more, this is the last time!"

"En." Yan Anxuan said with satisfaction: "Sit down!"

"Shopkeeper Yan is very concerned about your buddy." Zong Jinyu said calmly, and you digressed too seriously. Zong Jinyu wanted to say this but he didn't say it after all. Zong Jinyu had a hunch that saying this sentence would make people Yan Anxuan got off topic even more seriously.

"Huh? Care? They are my buddies. Without them, the inn can't operate. What I care about is just something I have to do as the shopkeeper." Yan Anxuan said, looking at the teacup seriously.

"Oh?" Zong Jinyu looked into Yan Anxuan's eyes and asked a short question.

Yan Anxuan raised his head and bumped into Zong Jinyu's eyes. He quickly moved his eyes away and said, "What do you think I am doing?"

"Oh? But if shopkeeper Yan didn't look at me, how would he know that I was looking at you?" Zong Jinyu threw the question to Yan Anxuan.

"I..." Yan Anxuan took a sip of water, changed the subject and said, "You are still very good! The chef and mistress are also very good, just fell down a bit."

Zong Jinyu gave him a look of "Look, you are the guy who cares about you very much." Yan Anxuan immediately gave Zong Jinyu a series of examples that he was not caring about the guy, but just fulfilling the responsibility of the shopkeeper. It made Zong Jinyu firm that Yan Anxuan is a typical master with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart.

"We have become the background board now!" Lin Yuehua looked at Zong Jinyu and Yan Anxuan's closeness in guiding and explaining one by one, and concluded.

"I agree with what the young master said!" Lin An immediately agreed.

"Xiao Si, you summed it up so well!" Xiao Er sighed.

"Second brother is right!" Xiao San said.

"..." This is the speechless Zhao Lie.

"What are you talking about?" The chef listened to the words that came out of their mouths in doubt, "But why does the shopkeeper keep talking to Mr. Jin and ignore us?"

Everyone patted Chef on the shoulder one by one: I have to say, Chef, you are actually the Emperor of Truth!

This side of the inn is very lively at this time, but the cottage over there is shrouded in gloom.

At night, after comforting the brother who was injured today, Yang Dong and Lin Li entered Yang Dong's room.

"Brother, have you made up your mind?" Lin Li asked worriedly.

"Alas... Brother Li, it's hard for me to think now." Yang Dong said sadly.

Only now, Yang Dong can really release his emotions.

"Brother, it's hard to think, so stop thinking and rest first! I'll be with you tonight." Lin Li patted Yang Dong's back.

"Brother Li, your injury..."

"Brother, it's just a small injury, brother, don't worry so much."

"Brother Li, with you by my side, I always feel at ease." Yang Dong said casually.

After a while, Lin Li opened his mouth and said, "Me too, I feel at ease with my elder brother." After speaking, he found that Yang Dong had fallen asleep.

Lin Li smiled helplessly and slept next to Yang Dong.

Early the next morning, someone knocked on the door: "Brother, someone is looking for you at the gate of the village."

It was Tian Qi's voice.

"Ah? Who is it?" Yang Dong opened the door.

"It's the kid from yesterday." Tian Qi had already heard about Zong Jinyu's injury to their brother yesterday, so it's not respectful to address them.

"I see, let him go to the Hall of Survival, and I will go there."

"Yes." Before leaving, Tian Qi saw that there was another person on Yang Dong's bed, ah, don't think about it, it must be Big Brother Lin, only he can rest in Big Brother's room casually.

Yang Dong went to the bed and helped Lin Li tuck the quilt, looked at his sleeping face, then closed the door gently and went out.

Lin Li, who had his eyes closed, opened them when they were closed.

"I didn't expect Jin Shaoxia to come back so early as he said." Yang Dong said loudly when he entered the living hall.

"Of course it is to solve the problem of Village Master Yang as soon as possible."

"..."

"However, this is the first time I have seen Village Master Yang's way of hospitality." Zong Jinyu played with the wine glass in his hand.

"Jin Shaoxia is referring to wine? This village has always served wine to guests."

"I mean the sweat medicine in this wine."

"Sweat medicine?" Yang Dong looked at Zong Jinyu's wine glass, then glared at Tian Qi who was standing aside, and said apologetically, "This village doesn't treat guests well, please forgive me, Mr. Jin."

"It's nothing, how does Village Master Yang think about my proposal?"

Yang Dong turned his back and said seriously: "Since Jin Shaoxia already knew that we came from the Yellow River, he should know why we became bandits. Look at the names in front of our hall, in order to survive!"

"That's why we have to rob innocent people of their property. This kind of survival is at the cost of other people's lives!"

"...At the beginning we only robbed corrupt officials and profiteers."

"But now?"

"Now?"

"There is more than a little difference between ordinary people and corrupt officials and profiteers!"

"...The disaster three years ago made us lose everything, and the relief supplies from the imperial court are in our hands? We can't survive at all!"

"But that was only for a short time. As far as I know, the imperial court quickly dismissed corrupt officials one by one and investigated them one by one. Then? What about you?"

"..."

"I can ignore the past for what you have done in the past few years, as long as you are willing to return the property and..."

"Join the army?" Yang Dong replied.

"Yes, it is difficult for you to return to ordinary farming life after fighting and killing in the past few years, and joining the army is the best choice."

"..."

"You are still hesitating, Master Yang, I want to finish this matter as soon as possible. You moved here from Yancheng. In a few days, what will happen to your 'good days' here? I think Yang Zhai The Lord should know too, right?"

"I...I will think about it as soon as possible, and I will discuss it with my brothers today."

"Today? Well, I'll come back later, and I hope Village Master Yang will give me a satisfactory answer!" Zong Jinyu turned around and was about to leave.

"I think Jin Shaoxia is not just a chivalrous man, he has such a clear understanding of the government and people's psychology."

Zong Jinyu turned around and said, "I really like dealing with smart people. I'm waiting for good news from Village Master Yang."

Lin Li, who was hiding at the door, watched Zong Jinyu leave, and turned to look worriedly at Yang Dong with his lonely back.

After about a stick of incense, Yang Dong finally sat down on the front chair, and ordered that there will be a big feast tonight.

The sky gradually darkened, and night came.

"Brother, why are we having a banquet today?" Lin Li said in a low voice, looking at the crowd who were eating, drinking and punching.

"Comfort the brothers. After yesterday's incident, the brothers are also a little depressed." Yang Dong took a sip of his wine and said, "The brothers who came from Yancheng have suffered a lot..." Yang Dong took another big sip of wine : "It's all my responsibility. I should also plan for my brothers. I can't be a bandit for a lifetime."

"Brother! Lin Li shouted: "You really don't think about—"

"Brother Li." Yang Dong interrupted him: "Keep your voice down, I plan to pave the way for the brothers today."

"But brother, the brothers will not agree."

"I know, so I need someone to support me, Brother Li, will you help me?" Yang Dong patted Lin Li on the shoulder and said.

"..." Lin Li lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally took a big sip of wine as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Brother, I will help you!"

"Actually, no matter what the big brother's decision is, I will definitely support it in the end, and the big brother knows that too, right?" Lin Li lowered his head and said in a low voice.When he raised his head again, Yang Dong was raising his cup and toasting his brothers far away. Lin Li was disappointed and grateful to drink the wine in his own glass: "Brother, he... didn't hear it!"

Lin Lizhi was drinking his wine with concern, not noticing Yang Dong's thoughtful eyes when his gaze shifted.

"Brothers, how are you doing?" Yang Dong asked everyone loudly.

Immediately, the bustling sound disappeared, replaced by an unusual silence. In the depths of the woods far away from human habitation, the atmosphere was a bit weird.
