Tianzhu: The Record of Foreign Stories in the Republic of China

Chapter 36: Wine War (2)
That night, Yi Zhiyu was about to go to bed when he heard someone knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw my ninth grandfather standing at the door.Grandpa Jiu was holding a chessboard in his hand, saying that he was sleepless at night and wanted to find Mr. Yi to play two games.Yi Zhiyu couldn't help but startled.Since the fall of Xiulin City, the devils enforced a curfew in the city, and Grandpa Nine never came to him to play chess after dark.He looked around vigilantly, and hurriedly let Grandpa Jiu into the room.

From time to time, devil patrols passed by on the street. In order to prevent the devil soldiers outside from seeing the lights on in the house late at night, Yi Zhiyu took off the bed sheet and covered the windows.The two drove around under the lamp and killed a few games, each winning or losing.On the street in the distance, there were sporadic gunshots from time to time, which made people's hearts tense one after another.Two more games were played, Grandpa Nine looked at the chime clock on the table, it was already midnight, so he put away the chess pieces, got up and said goodbye.

Yi Zhiyu was about to get up to see him off when Grandpa Nine suddenly sighed and said, "Tonight, maybe I will play chess with Mr. Yi for the last time. This chessboard looks unremarkable, but it was passed down by my ancestors. It is said It's made of red sandalwood, so keep it as a gift for your husband." Yi Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Why did Lord Jiu say that?" Grandpa Jiu said, "Today during the day, Xun San has already sent me down on behalf of Yoshii Akihiko. I signed the challenge letter and asked me to fight in the ring tomorrow morning." Yi Zhiyu couldn't help being startled, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Xun San is a traitor!" He also said: "Jiu Ye doesn't need to grow others' ambitions, your drunken punches me I've seen it before, if he really gets into the ring, Yoshii Akihiko may not be able to benefit from it." "Oh..." Grandpa Jiu glanced at him, hesitated to speak, shook his head, sighed, and cupped his hands at him, Open the door and leave without a word.

Yi Zhiyu had something on his mind and couldn't sleep all night.

The next morning, he got up and knocked on the door of my Grandpa Ninth. After knocking for a long time, no one answered, he knew that Grandpa Ninth had gone to an appointment for a martial arts competition. Holding the hem of his gown, he hurried to Xiulin Middle School.

The wind was biting, and it was very cold.A lot of spectators had already gathered around the playground of Xiulin Middle School.There were some devil soldiers with live ammunition standing in the corridors around.Yi Zhiyu squeezed forward and saw two people standing on the ring, one was Yoshii Akihiko in white karate uniform, and the other was my Ninth Grandpa.Today, Grandpa Nine is wearing a black double-breasted coat with a red belt around his waist and knickerbockers, looking very energetic.

The contest has begun.Grandfather Nine stood on tiptoes, leaned back, and held cups with both hands, posing the move of Drunken Eight Immortals Zhonghan Xiangzi serving wine to greet the deceased.Akihiko Yoshii has met many opponents in China, but he has never seen anyone standing in the arena like a drunk. Knowing that strange people must have strange skills, he was more vigilant in his heart, and he did not dare to make rash moves. He raised his legs sideways , kicked tentatively.Grandpa Ninth hurriedly sideways to dodge, because he moved too fast, he staggered and almost fell down.

Although Yi Zhiyu is a layman, he can tell from the audience that Grandpa Jiu's footsteps are really messy this time, and his foot is not stable. !

After Yoshii Akihiko tried it, he knew what he knew, smiled contemptuously, and punched a jab with his left hand to attract the opponent's attention, then raised his right foot secretly, and kicked Grandpa Jiu's waist with a sweeping kick.Grandpa Ninth staggered and retreated, shaking his body to dodge, but it was too late, with a bang, Yoshii Akihiko's instep swept across his waist like an iron whip.Grandpa Ninth fell sideways, and when he got up, blood was bleeding from the corner of his mouth.

Yi Zhiyu's heart was suspended. As soon as the two sides fought, Grandpa Jiu was helpless. This was not at all like the move he saw that night to subdue Master Yue Jiu, the god of Xunmen!

Yoshii Akihiko didn't wait for Grandpa Jiu to stand still, suddenly jumped into the air, kicked Grandpa Jiu's chest with a flying kick.Grandpa Jiu stepped on the plum blossom step, while dodging, crossed his hands in front of his chest, trying to block the opponent's foot from his body, but the opponent hit in the air, the force was too strong, Grandpa Jiu couldn't block it with his hands, his chest After receiving a solid kick, the person flew straight out like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily on the edge of the ring.He propped his elbows on the ground, barely sat up, and with a "wow", a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Yi Zhiyu squeezed to the side of the stage and asked, "Master Jiu, what's the matter with you today?"

Grandpa Jiu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, smiled miserably, and said, "My old man didn't drink today, so he can't exert any energy in his body."

Yi Zhiyu stomped his feet and said, "Why don't you go to the ring today after drinking some wine?"

Grandpa Jiu smiled wryly, and said: "Xun San...yesterday he smashed all the wine vats in all the wineries and wine shops in the city, even the wine bottles of the neighbors in the neighborhood. In the whole Xiulin City, but Not a single drop of wine was to be found."

Yi Zhiyu's heart sank, Xun San, a traitor, wanted to avenge that arrow, and wanted Master Jiu to die in the ring!Yi Zhiyu opened his mouth and called out "Jiuye", his voice was choked up, and he couldn't speak.

Grandpa Ninth smiled and said: "Don't worry about me, you will die, and you can't let this little Japan look down on us Chinese." Struggling to stand up, he wanted to face Akihiko Yoshii again.

Yi Zhiyu thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Yes, Master Jiu, please wait a moment." Turning around and running to the small shop in front of the school, he borrowed paper and ink, spread the white paper by the ring, dipped a pen into some ink , just draw and outline on the drawing paper.

In a short time, a picture of an old man drunk and drunk was created in one go.When Grandpa Jiu looked down, he saw an old man with white beard on the drawing paper, holding an altar in his arms, hanging a gourd on his waist, holding a pot in his hand, leaning left and right, leaning east and west, drinking from himself endlessly.Soundly drunk, ready to come out.Grandpa Nine looked closely at the old man in the painting, his face was clear and pale, his eyebrows seemed familiar, and he realized that Mr. Yi had painted him. His heart felt hot, and in a trance, he felt the smell of alcohol in the air, and he felt a little drunk.

A raging fire ignited in the dantian, Grandpa Ninth's body shook like a tree, his drunken eyes squinted, his hands were clenched into fists, and he walked towards Akihiko Yoshii staggeringly with drunken steps.

Akihiko Yoshii saw him swaying here and there, with a shaky appearance, he underestimated the enemy more and more in his heart, rushed forward, raised his left leg, hooked his toes upwards, reached his heel, kicked his leg, and suddenly kicked towards Grandpa Ninth Door.He has used a lot of strength in this move, he just wants to make a quick decision and defeat the enemy with one move.Grandpa Jiu swayed slightly, his heels on the ground, like a tumbler, reclining backwards.Akihiko Yoshii kicked the ground, and Grandpa Ninth looked like a tumbler being pushed down, his feet stuck to the ground, his body suddenly rebounded, staggered forward, seemed to be unable to stand, and fell straight on Akihiko Yoshii.

Akihiko Yoshii made a blocking gesture with his hands, trying to push him away, but Grandpa Ninth's fall was like a wall falling down, and he was secretly accumulating overwhelming power. Before he pushed out his hands, Grandpa Ninth's body was leaning against him on his chest.Squeezing next to each other, Drunken Fist's four great feats, that's no joke.As soon as the two bodies came into contact, Yoshii Akihiko's huge body bounced away like a ball, and with a "bang", he fell out of the ring and fell to the ground.Before the person got up, a mouthful of blood spurted out.

The audience in the audience was stunned for a while, and suddenly came back to their senses, Zhen Tianjie shouted: "The Chinese have won, the Chinese have won!"

Grandpa Jiu looked at the ghost soldiers standing in the corridors on all sides, knowing that this place is not suitable for staying for a long time, he bowed to the audience, jumped off the ring, and hurried away hand in hand with Yi Zhiyu.

Back at the wine shop, Grandpa Jiu straightened his clothes, bowed to Yi Zhiyu to the ground, and said, "Thank you Mr. Yi for the good 'wine'." Yi Zhiyu hurriedly cupped his hands in return, saying, "You don't need to say thank you, that's Master Jiu. Kungfu is good, Zuiquan has already reached the highest state of 'no drunkenness'." The two looked at each other and smiled, irresistible.

Yi Zhiyu said: "Jiuye should pack up his luggage and go to Jiangbei to escape. Yi has some medical skills, and seeing that Yoshii Akihiko's complexion was not right after he fell to the ground, he might have suffered an internal injury, so he probably won't make it through tonight. Tomorrow Early in the morning, Kazuo Yoshii, the captain of the Japanese army, will definitely come to him to avenge his brother."

Grandpa Ninth laughed and said: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Mr.'s eyes. Yoshii Akihiko's hands are covered with Chinese blood. I wanted to teach him to splatter the blood on the spot, but there are Japanese soldiers around. There are also people under the ring, none of them can leave alive. So I made a little effort, Yoshii Akihiko's ribs are not broken, he can still move freely, but his internal organs have been displaced, as long as he lies down at night, he will definitely vomit blood died."

Yi Zhiyu said: "Master Jiu still thinks far-reaching."

Grandpa Jiu put a burden on his back, closed the door of the wine shop, and bowed his hands to Yi Zhiyu, let's say goodbye, we will meet later.

酒战
It has been five years since Grandpa Ninth returned to Xiulin City again.At this time, the devil soldiers had already surrendered and the national army took over Xiulin City.Grandpa Jiu cleaned up the house, and hung up the signboard of Sanjin and a half liquor store.When closing at night, Grandpa Jiu heard someone knocking on the door, opened the door and saw that it was Mr. Yi Zhiyu, who was next door, standing at the door with a chessboard in his hand.The two laughed, entered the room, and played chess.

On the second day after Grandpa Jiu returned to Xiulin City, just after noon, someone suddenly visited.The person who came was none other than the notorious Xun San.After the Japanese army withdrew from Xiulin City, Xun San worked his way up and down and transformed himself into the chief of Xiulin Police Station.Now he is wearing a police uniform, with a pistol pinned to his waist, has no followers, and has no followers. He looks majestic.

Xiulin has always been known as the "Wine Town". The people of Xiulin have always been famous for their good wine. There are many wine shops in the city, and wine shops are all over the streets and alleys.In Xiulin City, there were originally several large wineries, such as the Chen Family Winery that brewed Xiulin Yuye, and the Wuliang Winery that produced Wuliangchun.When Xiulin fell, these wineries were all occupied by devils.After the national army entered the city, they took over these wineries, which should have been returned to the former owner, but Xun San said that these were "reverse production" and wanted to confiscate them all. accounted for.

Xun San integrated several wineries and created a "Xiu Linchun" winery, with himself as the general manager, specializing in the production of a baijiu called Xiu Linchun.He wanted to monopolize the Xiulin wine market and make a fortune, but he didn't know whether it was because the quality of the wine was not up to standard or the common people didn't buy it. Xiulin Chun was not popular, and it didn't take long for Xun San to lose money.He was in a hurry, hey, when he heard that Yue Jiuye, who was known as the Xiulin Jiuxian, had returned, he immediately took it to heart.
