Fisherman's Song Dynasty

Xu Zizhen didn't say anything more, Li Meng's slightly immature face was full of stubbornness, he knew that once he said no again, then Li Meng would probably find a chance to leave him and take revenge alone.

He is just a child, if he is allowed to run wild, something will happen sooner or later, and then he will really die and have no face to see Li Sheng, so it is better to let him follow, at least he can not leave his sight.

Li Meng tidied up briefly, packed a small bundle and followed Xu Zizhen back to the inn. The small box containing the ashes was carefully wrapped around his waist with a piece of cloth. Two days later, early in the morning, Xu Zizhen brought him back as promised. pier.

The ship had already finished loading, and the owner waited on the shore early. After discussing with him, Xu Zizhen brought Li Meng onto the ship. He planned to post some money to the owner as Li Meng's food and drink on the ship. The cost, but the captain was quite open-minded, he waved his hand with a smile, and didn't care about it at all.

Xu Zizhen took Li Meng onto the boat, put the baggage in the cabin, and returned to the deck. He found that besides the owner and the boatmen, there was actually a young man with the appearance of a scholar on the boat, who seemed to be in his 20s Looks, with delicate features, is standing on the side of the boat looking at the rushing river outside the boat, with a look of emotion.

Being on the same boat was fate, and the journey was not short this time, Xu Zizhen stepped forward and greeted with a smile: "This brother invited me, I'm next to Xu Zizhen, I don't know what to call your brother?"

Hearing the words, the scholar hurriedly turned around and gave a deep bow: "Ah, Xiaosheng Liu Fengsui, I met Brother Xu."

Xu Zizhen smiled and said: "Liu Fengsui? What a good name! Could it be that Mr. Liu is also the ship's owner of this company?"

Liu Fengsui shook his head and said, "No, no, Xiaosheng is the same as Xiongtai, just taking advantage of the wind."

Xu Zizhen wondered, "Oh? I don't know where Mr. Liu is going?"

Liu Feng followed: "Xiaosheng is going to Lanzhou Mansion to celebrate my aunt's birthday, but where is Brother Xu going?"

Xu Zizhen clapped his hands and said with a smile: "What a coincidence! I'm going to Lanzhou too, it seems that we can go together after getting off the boat." Speaking of this, he looked at Liu Fengsui, "But this corner in the northwest is not very peaceful. Mr. Liu is so weak, why is he alone? He doesn’t bring any followers or anything.”

Liu Feng said with a smile: "Xiaosheng's family background is quite cold, and it is a long way to go to Lanzhou Mansion, so I am alone just to save some money." After he finished speaking, he also asked, "I don't know what kind of livelihood Brother Xu is doing when he goes to Lanzhou Mansion. ? Could it be that you are also visiting relatives?"

Seeing his sour scholarly appearance, Xu Zizhen was secretly amused, purposefully narrowed his eyes and grinned grinningly, and said, "I heard that the northwest area is very profitable, so I plan to go there as a horse thief and do some free business."

Liu Fengsui was startled immediately, and couldn't help but took two steps back, looking at Xu Zizhen in horror: "Brother Xu, you..."

Xu Zizhen laughed and returned to normal: "I'm just joking, Mr. Liu, don't take it seriously."

Liu Feng twitched at the corner of his mouth, forced a dry laugh: "Oh, brother Xu really surprised me."

Xu Zizhen said with a smile: "Haha, it's my fault. I'll invite Mr. Liu to drink to calm down when I get off the boat."

Liu Fengsui's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the words: "Could it be that brother Xu also likes this way? If you want to drink, why do you need to stay off the boat?"

Xu Zizhen's eyes also lit up: "Oh? Do you have wine here?"

He said that he would come to guard the ship for the owner, so it was impossible to buy wine and bring it on board. It would not look good to be drunk, after all, he was on the boat.

Liu Fengsui chuckled: "Brother Xu, please wait." After speaking, he turned around and went straight to the cabin, and after a while, he turned around with two small wine jars of five catties in his hand.

Xu Zizhen was taken aback: "I'll go! Are you really carrying wine?"

Liu Fengsui just sat down on the deck like this, and placed the two jars of wine in front of each other: "Xiaosheng originally thought that the journey would be lonely, and he was afraid that he would have to drink alone, but he unexpectedly met a fellow like Brother Xu." He said While speaking, he patted the mud seal off a jar of wine, raised his head and took a big gulp, and said with a smile, "Brother Xu is so polite."

Xu Zizhen had already smelled the aroma of wine wafting from the jar, and felt the wine worms in his intestines wriggling, so he sat down immediately, picked up the wine jar and drank heavily, put down the jar with a bang, and praised loudly: "Good! liquor!"

This altar of wine is extremely sweet and mellow, obviously not ordinary, but Liu Feng, a scholar, would drink such strong wine, which made him somewhat unexpected.

Liu Fengsui laughed: "The drunken country road is easy to come here, but other places are unbearable! Brother Xu, please!"

Xu Zizhen raised the jar and also laughed: "It's done!"

The temperaments of the two seem to be completely different, and Liu Fengsui was terrified by Xu Zizhen's threatening to be a horse thief before, but when it comes to wine, especially when the wine is in the mouth, the two have no distance between them.

Xu Zizhen didn't expect that this weak and sour talent would have such a wild side, especially when he was drinking, his bold appearance did not fall to him at all, and he suddenly felt a sense of confidant. At this moment, in his eyes, Liu Fengsui is A village man with his trouser legs rolled up and his shirt open, he was a big drinker who had nothing to worry about except good wine.

The cargo ship set sail slowly, the whistling river wind made the sails flutter, the sky was a bit gloomy, and there were faint signs of rain, but Xu Zizhen and Liu Fengsui completely ignored all of this, and sat opposite each other swig.

Wine is the thing that can bring people closer together. After drinking half a pot of wine, Liu Fengsui was no longer as weak and gentle as before. Instead, he started talking with Xu Zizhen. He is a scholar. Quoting classics and talking about a lot, Xu Zizhen's eloquence is not bad, except for those things of his own later generations, he also said a lot.

Xu Zizhen made a complaint through Jiuxing, that is, what he did in Suzhou City. Anyway, he has left Jiangnan now, and Hu Youzu and Kong Qilin's hands can't reach the surface of the Yangtze River. There is a hint of heroism in his temperament, and he will never betray him to the government, and he has some inexplicable trust in this.

The more Liu Fengsui drank, the more excited he became, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. When he looked at Xu Zizhen, he also had some inexplicable taste. When Xu Zizhen heard that Shen Zongwei robbed the women and sent them to the Kingdom of Jin, he was furious and hurt Cursing the current dynasty, when Xu Zizhen said that the bombing caused Shen Zongwei to die on the street, he laughed and clapped his hands and said he was happy. .

Until noon, both of them passed out drunk, fell asleep on the deck leaning against each other, and two empty wine jars rolled aside.
