"This...," the Confucian scholar thought for a moment before saying, "I don't know how to drink. Thank you very much for your kindness."
Dakui couldn't help complaining: "To be happy in life, you need to drink. Don't let the wine jar stand empty against the moon. Come on, come on, take a few sips."
Dakui's words actually made the Confucian scholar cover his mouth and chuckle.
Dakui scratched his head and asked, "Why are you laughing?" The Confucian scholar did not answer and just laughed.
This is a poem "About to Enter the Wine" by Li Bai, a poet from the Tang Dynasty. The original text is: If you don't see it, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, and rushes to the sea and never returns. If you don't see it, the mirror in the high hall has sad white hair, and the morning is like blue silk and turns to snow in the evening. Life must be proud. When you have fun, don't let the gold bottle stand empty against the moon. By nature, my talents will be useful. I will come back after all the thousand gold coins have been spent. It is fun to cook sheep and slaughter cattle. You will have to drink three hundred cups at a time. Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, will enter the wine. , the cup does not stop, I sing a song with you, please listen to me, the bells, drums, food and jade are not expensive, I hope I will be drunk for a long time and don’t want to wake up. The sages in ancient times are lonely, only the drinkers leave their names. In the old days of King Chen There is a banquet, and there are thousands of people fighting for wine and bantering. Why does the master say that he has a small amount of money? He must sell the wine to you. The five-flowered horse and the golden fur will be exchanged for fine wine. Together with you, we will sell the eternal sorrow.
But when it came to Da Kui's mouth, the taste changed, and it actually became "To be proud of life, you must drink, don't let the wine jar be empty to the moon." How could it not be funny?
Dakui gave in again and again, but the Confucian scholar just refused. In desperation, Dakui said: "Since you don't drink, I won't be polite."
The Confucian scholar smiled and replied: "Brother, please excuse me." Before he could finish his words, he heard the sound of "gu dong gu dong", and Dakui was already drinking with his mouth to the mouth of the altar.
Rice wine, also known as fermented rice wine, is a common traditional local snack in the south. The main raw material is sticky rice, so it is called rice wine. In the north, fermented rice wine is generally called 'rice wine' or 'sweet wine'. Its taste is sweet, fragrant and mellow, and is popular among all ages. should.
Dakui drank half the bottle of beef in one go. He put down the bottle of wine and smacked his lips. Dakui couldn't help but praise: "This is really delicious, but it's just a little weak." After that, he drank again.
Although Confucian scholars have seen people drinking, this is the first time they have seen people drinking like Dakui. This jar of wine weighed five or six kilograms, and he didn’t know where Dakui drank the wine. Drinking like this is You should be full already if you drink water.
Dakui took a sip and saw the Confucian scholar looking at the Lijiang River in front of him with a frown on his face. At that moment, Dakui asked curiously: "I don't know why brother is worried about something, but my family is poor and has no money to buy food."
The Confucian scholar smiled bitterly and said: "There is joy in being poor, and there is pain in being rich. I am not worried about money."
Dakui smiled and said with a clear understanding: "I know, you have fallen in love with this girl, but you are trapped in love."
The Confucian scholar looked at Dakui with a smile and asked, "How do you know?"
At this time, Dakui had already seen clearly the appearance of this Confucian scholar, but he lacked masculinity in his life. His eyebrows were like crescent moons, his eyes were full of spring water, his nose was small and his lips were painted with red. If his skin color was not slightly dark, Dakui would really think that he was a man. It's a woman disguised as a man.
"Most people with looks like yours are people who attract flowers and butterflies. It wouldn't be strange if no woman loves you," Dakui said and drank heavily, as if he drank water instead of wine.
The Confucian scholar thought for a moment and then nodded and said: "Yes, I am trapped by love, but you are an outsider, how do you know the secrets?"
After hearing this, Dakui immediately put down the wine jar and said: "The authorities are obsessed with it, but bystanders know clearly. I am an outsider and can naturally see clearly. Hey, if you have anything unhappy, please tell me and make me happy." Dakui raised his sleeves as he spoke Wiped the wine stain from his mouth.
The Confucian scholar couldn't help but get angry when he heard this, but he thought that Da Kui seemed to be ignorant of the world, so he didn't take it seriously. He immediately told Da Kui about his troubles. It turned out that the Confucian scholar's name was Sima Yan, and his ancestral home was Elephant Trunk Mountain in Lijiang River. The daughter of the leader of Feng Village had a new love for her, but she was blocked by the leader of Xiu Feng Village. The leader of the village was martial by nature, and his daughter had been deeply influenced since she was a child. Therefore, her skills were quite strong, and she was just three or five strong men. Not even close.
In order to seek a son-in-law by riding a dragon, the owner of the village told his neighbors that if there was a young and strong man who could outsmart his daughter, he would recruit him as his son-in-law. As soon as the news spread, many heroes flocked to the village. The woman was actually very proficient in martial arts, and all the heroes who took the field were defeated with bruises and bruises.
Poor Sima Yan is a weak scholar, but he can only watch the love in his heart competing for marriage, but he is unable to fight for it.
When Dakui heard this, he couldn't help but slapped his thigh and said, "You should have told me earlier. What a trivial matter is not worth mentioning."
When Sima Yan heard this, he looked at Dakui in surprise and asked, "I wonder what brother can do?"
Dakui chuckled and said, "I'll just go and fight,"
Sima Yan couldn't help but said angrily: "What kind of method is this?"
"I'll marry her, and then you can get married to her," Dakui said, which was full of nonsense. It was simply shocking. There was no reason to give his daughter-in-law away after marrying him through a martial arts competition.
Sima Yan was a little angry in his heart. He ignored Dakui and walked to a big rock and sat down. He still looked at the moonlight of the Li River with a sad expression. Dakui walked to Sima Yan with a smile and said: "Brother, don't worry, brother and I You are joking," he said, reaching out and patting Sima Yan on the shoulder.
"What are you doing?" Sima Yan jumped up as if he had been stung by a bee, looking at Dakui with a look of shock and anger.
Dakui looked at Sima Yan, then looked at his right hand and said, "Clap your shoulder to show your closeness."
"Who wants to get close to you?" Sima Yan said angrily before turning around and leaving.
Seeing this, Dakui quickly said: "Brother, don't leave, I really have a way, you are willing to listen,"
When Sima Yan heard this, he stood still without turning around and said, "Please tell me what you can do."
Dakui chuckled and said: "If you want to succeed in one fell swoop, you must rely on me for three things."
"Which three?" Sima Yan turned around and looked at Dakui curiously and asked.
Dakui chuckled and said, "How can you thank me after it's done?"
Sima Yan couldn't think of a reason for it for a long time, so he could only say: "How can you thank you?"
Dakui raised the jar of wine in his hand and said, "Send me ten jars of rice wine like this."
"Okay, it's settled," Sima Yan agreed, and then asked: "Tell me, what three things do I need from you?"
Dakui thought for a while and said: "First, you must be obedient and practice the martial arts I teach you. Second, if you want to marry a wife, you must lose your face. Third, if you do not comply with the above two things, you must You have to give me ten jars of rice wine,"
Sima Yan asked doubtfully: "Are you sure you can let me win the competition?"
Dakui slapped his chest and said, "If you can't win the contest, I'll lose you ten taels of silver."
Because it was a scorching summer day, it was still hot even though it was night, so Da Kui only wore a shirtless shirt, gray cloth trousers rolled up, and a pair of cloth shoes on his feet. How could he get ten taels of silver in such a dress? Seeing what Dakui said was true, Sima Yan nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."
Dakui smiled and said: "It's empty talk. What if you violate what you agreed to do?"
Sima Yan never believed that Da Kui would allow him to win the martial arts competition, but since Da Kui had promised that he would be able to do so, Sima Yan wanted to see what Da Kui was capable of.
Thinking of this, Sima Yan took out a jade pendant from his arms and said, "This is what my mother left for me. It's worth a lot of money. Let's put it here as a mortgage." Dakui took the jade pendant and looked at it. It is top-grade Hetian jade, carefully carved with the word "Sima", it is indeed a good thing.
"Now tell me how to win the martial arts competition," Sima Yan asked curiously.
Dakui smiled mysteriously and said: "Look, don't be distracted, I will teach you the invincible kick that my family has passed down in the world." After saying that, he stood up on the spot, raised his knee and kicked horizontally, and then moved slowly, but also revealed After showing off his skills and completing the demonstration, Dakui said: "Try it."
Sima Yan saw that Da Kui screamed in a decent manner, and immediately kicked him according to Da Kui's posture. Although the kick was out of thin air, it still had some flavor. When Da Kui saw it, he couldn't help but praise: "Well, not bad, practice hard. You can practice here tonight, and I will compete with you tomorrow morning."
"Just this one move," Sima Yan was already 100% disbelieving in his heart. Not to mention this one move, even a hundred moves might not be able to defeat him. This bastard was obviously trying to make fun of others.
Seeing Sima Yan's disbelief, Dakui immediately said: "If you don't believe it, you can exchange ten jars of rice wine for this jade pendant. I will pretend that nothing has happened. I don't know what my dear brother wants,"
Sima Yan said angrily: "Okay, I will wait for you to compete with you tomorrow morning. If you lose, you will need to return my jade pendant."
Dakui nodded and said: "Not only the jade pendant, but also ten taels of silver,"
Sima Yan gritted his teeth and said, "It's settled in one word."
Dakui didn't say anything, drank all the remaining wine in the wine jar, and then turned around and returned to the camp. The camp of 500 people said it was big or small, so Dakui returned to his tent and pretended to be lying on the bunk. A deep sleep.
I don't know how long it took, but Da Kui felt someone pushing him. When he opened his eyes, it was Meng Ge.
"Master Zhang, when will we set off?" Meng Ge was in a hurry, but now he came to ask.
Dakui looked around and then said: "We have traveled a long distance and the soldiers are already exhausted. It is not too late to rest here for two days before leaving. Go and tell Mr. Wang that I have something to go out today," Dakui said Then he stood up and left the tent, walking all the way outside the camp. From a distance, he saw the thin figure still practicing the horizontal kick in front of the camp gate. Da Kui couldn't help but nodded, and praised in his heart: "Not bad. Sillier than me,"
When he arrived outside the camp, Sima Yan saw Dakui coming out, and then he came to Dakui and asked: "Hey, my legs have been trained to the point that I can't lift them. Are you talking about how to win in the martial arts competition?"
Dakui didn't answer, and ordered two horses to be brought in. He said to Sima Yan: "Get on the horse and let's go. I'll tell you as we go."
The two horses were ordinary packhorses with saddles and pedals. Although they were fat and strong, they were not war horses. After Dakui and Sima Yan got on the horses, they galloped all the way north. On the way, Sima Yan asked impatiently: "What's going on?" What's the plan?"
Dakui waved to Sima Yan and said: "Come here, I will tell you in detail,"
When Sima Yan heard this, he rode his horse alongside Dakui. Dakui whispered some instructions in Sima Yan's ear. When Sima Yan heard this, his face suddenly turned red like rouge. Dakui laughed and said:
"If you want to accomplish something, you have to do this," he said, then galloped away.
