Chapter 129: Gift of Wine
Frankly speaking, he was grateful to Xue Wanyun in his heart, and even had a good impression of him. Without Xue Wanyun, he would not have been able to break through to the mortal realm, nor would he have survived in Yongling Valley.
After experiencing the relationship with Senior Sister Su that was destined to be fruitless, he no longer dared to get involved in matters between men and women, and subconsciously wanted to suppress these emotions. Now, he just wants to practice hard and control his own destiny.
After a long silence, Duan Qing looked outside the guardrail and said slowly: "Next, let's go to Dacang Country!"
Xue Wanyun nodded slightly and looked at the bustling pedestrians on the street below, with mixed feelings in her heart!
One day later, Xiao'an City in Dacang Kingdom.
It was already dusk, Duan Qing and Xue Wanyun were walking on the deserted streets of Xiao'an City. What was different from the past was that this time Duan Qing was walking in front, while Xue Wanyun was silent behind him.
Several years have passed, and Xiao'an City is still as he remembered it, with not much change. The pedestrians you can occasionally see on the street include many of the old faces in his memory. But ironically, just like the last time he came back, there is still no one there. Recognize him.
When the two came to the door of Woniu Inn, they could vaguely see through the door and window that oil lamps had been lit inside, and a young man was about to close the door of the inn.
"Wait a minute!" Duan Qing saw this and quickly shouted to stop.
The young man looked at Duan Qing and the two of them. He stayed on Xue Wanyun for a long time before he realized what they were doing. He walked up to ask enthusiastically.
"You two want to stay in a hotel?"
Duan Qing shook his head slightly.
"I'm here to get something!"
The young man was confused, but he was still clever. He quickly said to Duan Qing: "You two go inside first, and I'll call the shopkeeper."
After saying that, he hurriedly ran to the inn.
Duan Qing looked back at Xue Wanyun and signaled to her.
"Let's go!" After saying that, he walked into the inn first.
The inn was empty. All the chairs were neatly placed on the table. It had obviously been cleaned. The young man was talking to a young woman in front of the counter.
The young woman at the counter held a baby in one hand and was doing abacus and accounting in the other hand. She was also talking to the young man in front of the counter. When she saw Duan Qingzhi coming in, her hand holding the dial suddenly stopped, and the hand holding the baby trembled. , causing the children to burst into tears.
Duan Qing looked at the strange-looking young woman and sighed in his heart, but he didn't express it. Instead, he called out with a smile. "Sister-in-law!"
The young woman comforted the baby in her arms and showed a forced smile to Duan Qing.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing an apron hurriedly walked out of the kitchen. Before he appeared, the voice of blame came first.
"You stinky bitch, you can't even take care of a child. Why is An'er crying again!"
When he walked into the lobby and saw Duan Qing, the look of blame on his face was immediately replaced by surprise.
"Xiao Qingzi!" As he said this, he came up and wanted to give Duan Qing a bear hug, but when he walked up to him, he found that his hands were stained with oil. He retracted his open hand in embarrassment and turned his head to give instructions to the young man in front of the counter.
"Put the stool down quickly."
After saying that, he told the young woman: "What are you doing standing there, you stinky bitch? Go and make tea!"
Xue Wanyun, who was behind Duan Qing, couldn't help but chuckle at this moment. She thought she called Xiao Qingzi the name herself, and didn't want someone to call Duan Qing that way.
Duan Qing turned around and rolled his eyes at Xue Wanyun, and quickly stopped the excited middle-aged man.
"No need, Brother Dasheng, I'm just coming back to get something!" Duan Qing noticed that when he said to get something, the back of the young woman on the way to make tea visibly paused.
Zhang Dasheng found a coarse rag from somewhere and was wiping his hands. He was a little unhappy after hearing what Duan Qing said.
"Why are you so open-minded? This inn belongs to you. Brother Dasheng, I'm just looking after it for you. If you want, you can take it over at any time."
Although Duan Qing did not mean this, he still felt warm in his heart after hearing Zhang Dasheng's sincere words.
It's just that he came back this time just to get some things, so he reached out and patted the excited Zhang Dasheng, and explained his intention straightforwardly.
"Brother Dasheng, I just want to take away dad's wine collection when I come back this time!" After saying that, he walked towards the backyard.
Xue Wanyun's eyes lit up when she heard Duan Qing talking about Tibetan wine. She had given up the idea of buying Duan Qingzang wine and had never mentioned it in the past two months.
This time Duan Qing offered to go home for a visit. She really thought that Duan Qing just wanted to go back for a visit, but she didn't expect that Duan Qing came here to get wine.
Duan Qing walked to the backyard, glanced at the empty donkey shed, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart!
After sorting out my thoughts, I recalled the place where my father used to dig and store wine. He took a hoe outside the donkey shed and started digging.
In order to avoid damaging the wine jar, Duan Qing dug carefully. During this period, Zhang Dasheng wanted to come to help, but he politely refused. However, he said that he would prepare dinner for Duan Qing and his wife, and then went to the kitchen to work.
After digging for half an hour, all eleven jars of Qinjiu in the courtyard were finally dug out without any damage.
In fact, there were originally twelve jars of Qin wine buried in the courtyard, but when he left Xiao'an City with Uncle Wang, his father took out a jar and put some in it and took him with him. The small jar of wine was not until his emotions were frustrated in Yongling Valley. He just drank to relieve his sorrow.
"There's so much wine, you can finish it!"
At this time, Xue Wanyun on the side was quite unhappy. The faint fragrance of the wine she had just drank made her want to get drunk, but she couldn't do it because of her face.
Duan Qing felt a little amused when he saw Xue Wanyun looking like this. It was rare to see Xue Wanyun so depressed. He wanted to make fun of her, but when the words came to his lips, he thought that the two were about to separate, but he couldn't say anything.
He sighed secretly and pretended to be calm.
"These drinks are for you!"
Xue Wanyun was delighted when he heard this. Without saying anything, he collected all the eleven jars of wine on the ground and looked at Duan Qing with a smile.
"You are sensible."
Duan Qing was a little surprised to see Xue Wanyun accept the wine so straightforwardly. He thought that with Xue Wanyun's personality, he would probably refuse a few words.
But somehow, Xue Wanyun accepted the Qin wine without refusing, and he was secretly happy in his heart.
During this period, Xue Wanyun had given him a lot of guidance on his cultivation. He was both a teacher and a friend. In addition, he was taught the Suzaku Transformation in Yongling Valley. After learning that Xue Wanyun liked wine, he had the idea of giving these hidden wines to Xue Wanyun.
These Qin wines were originally buried by his father for his future marriage. Now that his parents are gone, he has no plan to start a family. In addition, he does not like wine, and burying these wines in the soil is just a waste of heaven's gifts.
Instead of doing that, it would be better to give it to Xue Wanyun, a wine lover. First, it would not be burying these Qin wines, and second, it would be a favor to Xue Wanyun.
"Let's go!" The purpose of this trip was achieved. Duan Qing had no intention of staying in the inn any longer, and took the lead to walk out.
He did not disturb Zhang Dasheng again. He accidentally embarked on the path of cultivation. Now he is devoted to seeking the truth. The road ahead may be full of difficulties and dangers.
Although Dasheng is just a mortal, it is a kind of happiness to live a safe life with his family in Xiao'an City. Why should he bother him again?
