He fetched two buckets of well water to wash away the dust in front of the wooden shed. Thinking that today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, he planned to fetch half a jar of wine to try.

Maybe Brother Minghui will come over later and let him try the new wine.

Li Ye has an advantage. He is very serious about everything he does, especially when wielding a sword. If he has ten thousand swords, he will never be lazy and miss one sword.

And he is serious enough to grasp every ounce of strength, and every sword must meet his own requirements.

I found an empty wine jar from the kitchen, which I had left behind with Li Hongxiu when my husband was here. I took it out, washed it carefully, put it upside down for a while, and drained the water out of it.

Autumn is getting stronger, and there is a fruity fragrance in the mountain breeze, which is suitable for one to meditate alone.

When the bamboo mat covering the wine vat was lifted, a clicking sound could be heard in the wooden shed.

Li Ye's movements were very careful, with some apprehension and some expectation.

After all, this was the first time he had brewed wine alone, and he had a similar mood to when he realized Zhan Xue on Tianshan Mountain.

Will it become sour or bitter?

At this time, he had already thought of the words he chose yesterday.

I don't know when I will become worried about gains and losses.

He gently opened the sealed lid of the wine jar and filled half the jar with a clean wooden spoon. He smelled a hint of fragrance and couldn't help but laugh: "It smells okay, not sour."

After carefully sealing the lid of the watering jar, he put the bamboo mat back on it, and with half a jar of wine in his arms, Li Ye returned to the table in the yard and took a gentle breath.

He was ready to taste the newly brewed wine.

Regardless of whether it is good or bad, this is all brewed by myself.

Sitting quietly in front of the table, looking at the half-jar of new wine on the table, Li Ye murmured softly.

Small red clay stove, green ants newly baked wine.

It's snowing tonight, can you have a drink?

...

"My dear disciple, you didn't come to see me when you came back from the mountain. Instead, you were enjoying it here alone with a jar of wine in your arms."

When I was in a daze, the voice of a drunkard came from the yard.

Li Ye turned around and looked at the drunkard who came in through the door. He smiled and shouted, "Master, why do you have the time to come to Prajna Temple?"

The drunkard glared at him and said, "When I came back last time, Monk Minghui told me that you had gone down the mountain. This time I came alone to see if you were back?"

"Master, is there something wrong?" Li Ye was a little surprised, thinking that he was planning to go to Xuantian Temple after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Can't you come over if you have nothing to do?" The drunkard looked at him and smiled.

Li Ye shook his head, looked at him and said with a smile: "I was thinking of going to Xuantian to visit the two masters in the next two days."

"You have a good conscience, come on, let's have a taste of the first vat of wine you brewed in Xuantian Temple."

After speaking, the drunkard put a jar of wine on the table, took out two wine glasses, and poured two glasses into it.

"This is the first vat of wine you have brewed in your life. I just want you to taste it and remember the taste."

The drunkard drank all the wine in his hand.

Li Ye also held the cup and took a sip.

"How about it? This is a taste you can't buy in the Five Realms. As long as you remember this taste, you will have a comparison when you make wine by yourself in the future."

The drunkard looked at him and smiled proudly.

Li Ye savored the taste in his mouth, looked at him and smiled lightly: "There is a hint of familiar taste, but it is not exactly the same."

Jiu Chi was stunned, as if he had remembered something, and looked at him in a daze.

After a long while, he started talking to himself in a daze: "...I remember that day was the Jingzhe, and the weather was slightly cool...A good friend of mine who has been with me for many years agreed to come to see me that day,

But she didn’t come that day.”

There was a thunder above Li Ye's head. He once heard this said by an old man.

"Although I like her very much, I have never told her because I am afraid that I will lose her if I tell her... I am jealous of those people around her who have been pursuing her, although I also want to know that she is liked

What does it feel like.”

At this time, Li Ye took another sip of the wine in the glass and looked at the drunkard blankly.

"As a result, I kept procrastinating like this for many years...until the Jingzhe that year, she didn't come to see me again...I always thought we would be together, because I felt that she liked me

of......"

Hearing this, Li Ye suddenly remembered what Nalan Yu said to him in the backyard of Youjian Inn, and couldn't help but froze as he thought about it.

"She never said she likes me, but I know some words don't have to be said... I just want her to say one thing, but she always refuses to say it... I'm too

I became confident and thought she would definitely marry me..."

The more the drunkard talked, the more excited he became.

A flash of light suddenly flashed in Li Ye's eyes, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the few weeds on the stone wall.

He thought of the white flower and Mu Mu who had left.

As I thought about it, tears flowed down unsatisfactorily.

"That day I was drinking and mixing new wine, and I was crying while drinking...for her, and for myself...I don't know why I did it, but at that moment, I couldn't control myself.

....."

"When the wine is ready, the tears on my face slowly dry up...I wonder if the woman I love the most will shed tears for me..."

Li Ye blurted out: "Definitely!"

The drunkard glanced at the young apprentice opposite him quietly. He didn't expect that Li Ye would answer him so definitely.

"Many years have passed... I really want to forget everything that happened that day, but my only flaw is that I have a very good memory."

"What should be forgotten can never be forgotten... Later I left the place where I had lived for decades and wandered around the five realms..."

Before the drunkard could continue, Li Ye continued.

“I walked and got here... But there will come a time when you are too old to walk, when you see snowflakes flying all over the sky in the evening on a snowy day...

.”

"You will think of a name, a song in your life... At that moment, you will know that there is only one person you love most..."

The drunkard looked at him blankly and asked, "Where did you hear this?"

Li Ye looked at him and smiled: "One is my eldest brother, and the other is an old man I met on the road when I came to Fangcun Mountain from the Central Region. He had a wine gourd on his waist..."

"Have we met?" The drunkard looked at him and asked?

Li Ye shook his head and replied: "It seems like there is, but it seems like there isn't!"

The drunkard looked at Li Ye's expression and suddenly understood. He looked at him and smiled: "So you are the child back then. I was depressed and wore a mask on my face..."

"I didn't expect that we would meet again after many years." Li Ye looked at the drunkard and felt that life was really incredible.

"This is God's will!" The drunkard laughed.

Li Ye was in a good mood. He didn't expect that the old man he met on the road was actually his master in disguise.

"Master, try the wine I brewed. Brother Minghui asked me to brew it here..." While pouring wine into their glasses, Li Ye told him about the wine he brewed in Prajna Temple.

once.

"This monk is actually embarrassed and wants to ask my disciple to make wine for him." The drunkard laughed.

"Senior Brother, I also think that Master, you guys are watching a lot of people in Xuantian, so it's not convenient for me to talk to you."

Li Ye looked at him and smiled lightly.

"Come on! Try the new wine that my precious disciple brewed by himself!"

After the drunkard finished speaking, he drank up the wine Li Ye poured for him in one gulp.

Li Ye followed his example and drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Then......

Then, just for a moment, both of them shed tears...

...

"The glass of wine you drank was what I brewed that day... Later I wanted to brew it again and tried many methods, but found that I could no longer make the taste of that kind of wine...

After drinking the most wine in the gourd, there will be no more wine in the world!"

The drunkard looked at him and laughed wildly, even though he was still a little disappointed in his eyes. He raised his glass to signal Li Yi, then gently put it to his lips and smelled it carefully.

Then the tears kept falling down. It didn't feel like drinking, but like tasting tea, and more like saying goodbye to my beloved lover...

Li Ye's heart was filled with shock. He stared blankly at the drunkard opposite him and murmured softly: "How could this happen? How could this happen?"

Seeing Li Ye in a daze, the alcoholic grinned and laughed at himself: "I didn't expect that my precious disciple could brew a wine that even I can't brew myself. There are really miracles in this world!
