Chapter 27 Twenty-seven

Seventh gourmet Let's say that after Fang Guohuan and Luo Kun separated in the spinning top temple that day, they left sadly alone, and came all the way to find Tianyuan Temple in Lianyun Mountain.On this day, I walked late and saw a village in front of me, so I went to the door of a house at the head of the village and knocked lightly a few times.When the door opened, an old man came out.Fang Guohuan bowed his hands and said: "The old man invites you. Passers-by, I beg you to stay overnight." Seeing that the old man was a young man traveling alone, he seemed to have traveled a long way, he was slightly surprised, and he turned sideways to give way. Said: "If you don't think the poor house is simple, please come in."

This is a simple farmhouse with only one bed, one cabinet and one table in the house.The old man brought a basin of clear water and said: "Young official is tired on the road, let's wash your noodles first." Fang Guohuan thanked, put down the package, washed his hands and face, and suddenly felt much more refreshed.The old man then brought a bowl of yellow rice and a plate of tofu from the kitchen, and put tea on the table, and then asked Fang Guohuan to say: "The farm is poor, and there is no good food and wine. If you don't mind the little official, but it is enough to eat." Stomach." Fang Guohuan was naturally grateful, and thanked the old man for using it.After eating, the old man picked up the bowls and chopsticks, took a cup and sat opposite to drink tea with Fang Guohuan.Fang Guohuan saw that there was only the old man in the house, so he asked, "Old man, has everyone in the family gone out?" The old man shook his head and said, "Where is there any family, but the old man lives alone." "Oh!" Cup of tea, chatted for a few more words, then the old man led Fang Guohuan to another room to rest.

The room was clean, with a wooden bed propped against the wall, with a simple bedding set on it, a few farm tools stacked behind the door, and a bamboo basket hanging from the beam.Fang Guohuan opened the rear window casually, and saw a vegetable field behind the house, and another farmer's courtyard next to it.It was late at night, and the lamps and candles were lit in the farmhouse's house. I heard someone talking loudly by chance. Fang Guohuan didn't realize it, so he went back to bed and lay down. At this time, I heard a voice from the farmhouse say: "The sky is high and the moon is bright outside. Why don't you and my brother come to the courtyard to enjoy the moon and drink wine, and learn from the elegance of the ancients." Another person replied: "Brother Wang said What’s more, I think you and I are both people who have read poetry and books and made articles, and we can’t fall into the cliché when we have wine.” Then, I heard the sound of moving tables and chairs, people in the courtyard, and the voice of talking It's clearer.Then someone said: "You and I are brothers, although they were not born of the same father, they are like a mother-in-law. They are very confidantes. Look at the ancients in the book, how many people are as loyal as you and me." Another person responded: "That's right! Let's talk about the articles written by the two of us. They are hard to find in ancient and modern times. Those so-called talents in the world, who can compare with us." Fang Guohuan heard the two heads. After a few words, I said in my heart: "In the village, there are people with such ancient style and lofty sentiments." After hearing the last few words, he couldn't help frowning, and then got up and went to the window to watch.At this time, a table was placed in the courtyard of the farmer's house, with a jar of wine on the table, and some peanuts, fruits and other foods were randomly piled up beside it.A stout man stood on the stool with his left foot, showing his breasts, and was drinking heavily from a bowl.Another small man in a long robe and a square scarf sat beside him wretchedly, with his head down, picking something to eat on the table.The thick man finished drinking a bowl of wine, he seemed to be in high spirits, and said with emotion: "The first wine among the ancients is Li Taibai's, but it's a pity that the two of us can't live with him, otherwise there will be that wine fight Articles of hundreds of poems." The little man seemed to choke on something, hiccupped, hurriedly took a sip of wine, and then grinned: "That is! The articles of the two of us are no worse than the ancients, Even if Li Taibai is here, what can he do to the two of us?" Fang Guohuan felt bored seeing the two of them blasphemy, so he went back to bed and lay down, but the voice was still in front of the window, so you couldn't help but listen.The two seemed to be aroused by the wine, and the thick man raised his voice: "When you meet a bosom friend, you will drink a thousand cups, and when you are happy, you will sing loudly. Come, come! Let's have a good time today." These few words annoyed the little man He became even more sexual, jumped up, seemed to knock down the stool, and shouted: "Drink ten bowls first, if you don't drink, you're a bitch." Then there was the sound of drinking, followed by a burst of laughter and abuse.

After a while, Hu heard the thick man say: "Today is so happy and hearty, and it's not a waste of life." The little man replied: "A hero is invincible in the world when he meets good wine. Now, who dares to answer when he scolds everyone in the world?" The little man went on to say: "Brother Lu, you and I had a rare joy today, but unfortunately the moon is dim and the courtyard is darker, why don't we burn down the two huts of the noble house, how about using fire to help the wine?" The thick man said: "You and my brother, why do you need to discuss it, wait for me to get the fire." Then a woman ran out and shouted: "No way, burn the house, where can my wife and I live? "Fang Guohuan was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and went to the window to watch.At this time, seeing the thick man punching a woman, he said angrily: "You woman, how can you know the pleasure of drinking people, don't disturb our drinking pleasure." The woman cried and screamed, and hurriedly carried the child and ran out to the neighbor's house to avoid it.

The thick man really went to the kitchen to get the kindling, he slapped his chest, handed it to the little man and said: "Brother Wang, just set these few houses on fire, it will be a joy, and there are several times in life to have fun. "The little man immediately said happily: "Brother Lu is really a generous and generous person! He has courage!" As he said that, he threw the kindling on the house, ignited the grass on the house, and the fire immediately ignited.Fang Guohuan was taken aback when he saw this, he didn't expect these two people to drink so much, they had no scruples, they said they would burn the house and set it on fire, regardless of the consequences.The weather was dry at that time, and the fire became bigger and bigger. In an instant, several thatched houses were burning together, and the fire was full of flames.The big man and the small man yelled wildly at the fire, extremely excited, followed by another burst of drinking.Because the fire was too fierce and the heat wave was threatening, the two simply hugged the wine jar and retreated to the vegetable garden, sitting on the ground, looking at the red flames, shouting endlessly.

The flames soared into the sky, alarming the villagers, who shouted at each other and came to put out the fire with pots and buckets.When the thick man saw it, he got up and stopped him and said, "What do you want to do?" A young man said, "Your house is on fire, didn't you see it?" The thick man said angrily, "My house is on fire, shut your ass Please go away quickly, don't disturb our interest." After hearing this, all the villagers showed displeasure, seeing that these thatched huts were all in one place, and there were no other houses connected to each other, and the thick man stopped them all, There was no intention of helping them, so they all stood by and watched.In a short time, several houses have been reduced to ashes.The two of them seemed to be extremely tired, and they fell asleep while holding the wine jar in the vegetable field. The villagers also talked and laughed, and left, no one came to take care of them.Fang Guohuan shook his head, closed the window, turned around and fell asleep on the bed.
