Chen Changsheng stayed here for a few days. In fact, the days here were very peaceful most of the time. The only thing with a chilling air was probably the city wall.
After Chen Changsheng had been there once or twice, he never went there again. After all, it was a wasteland outside and there really wasn't much to see.
A few days after he arrived here, "The man named Song brought back a senior from outside." Such words were spread among the more than a hundred people.
So much so that Chen Changsheng would often attract a few looks after he left the courtyard.
"Is this the senior?"
"It doesn't look like anything special."
"She looks very weak and boring."
"You can't say that. The person named Song has never had an eye shot. Maybe he is really a senior."
Chen Changsheng didn't care and walked towards the wine shop.
Usually when he went there, there weren't many people in the wine shop.
When Du Aniang saw him coming, she said, "Mr. Chen, should you drink the same wine as last time?"
"Yeah, same thing." Chen Changsheng said.
"good."
Du Aniang went to get a drink, but she didn't ask for the money for the drink. Song had mentioned it a few times before, and when she found out, she gave Chen Changsheng free of charge for the drink.
Chen Changsheng asked: "Why haven't you seen him recently?"
"He."
Du Aniang said: "He should have gone to pick up the newlyweds. He has been busy with this for the past few years."
"Is this so?"
Chen Changsheng poured himself a glass of wine. Speaking of which, the wine concocted by the snake demon was particularly strong. A few sips from time to time made people feel refreshed.
"I heard Song Gudao say that you are the only mortal in this city."
"Yes."
Du Aniang said: "I have been here for more than four years."
"Are you not used to it?" Chen Changsheng asked with a smile.
"Not used to it?" Du Aniang thought for a moment and said: "That's not true. Even though they are all monks, in fact, all of them are shameless. I don't know how much money they owe me for drinks. By the time
Now I haven’t gotten a penny back.”
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He had seen Du Aniang several times in the past two days. She was really good at cursing, and she would often make the drinkers speechless.
But she only scolded her fiercely. If she asked for wine, she would be given wine. If she asked for meat, she would be fine.
This has almost become the only place for recreation for these more than 100 people in the city.
While he was talking, he saw a lost figure walking in from the door.
"Crack."
Song Gudao staggered and looked a little pale.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Chen Changsheng sitting at the table. He quickly cheered up and called out: "Senior."
Chen Changsheng glanced at him and asked, "Did something happen?"
Du Aniang stood up and stepped forward. With Song Gudao's appearance, she had probably guessed something had happened.
"Isn't it quite peaceful outside the city recently? Why..."
Du Aniang paused mid-sentence and asked, "Who is it this time?"
Song Gudao raised his head and said: "...Master Rabbit."
Du Aniang was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
Then she started to curse.
"This damn sissy!"
Du Aniang cursed, seeming to be particularly angry, "I just said I can't go, I have to go, now it's okay, and I won't be able to come back."
She cursed but was silent again.
Du Aniang never stopped until she cursed three or four times, but now she fell silent after saying one sentence.
Song Gudao breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and said, "You can always allow me two bowls of wine today."
"Drink, drink, drink until you die."
Du Aniang cursed, but she choked up a little while speaking.
When she turned her head to get the wine, she stretched out her hand to wipe away a tear from the corner of her eye. She breathed a sigh of relief and went to get the wine as if nothing had happened.
Du Aniang smashed the wine on the table.
Song Gudao forced a smile and said, "Thank you."
"What's the use of you, a shabby woodcutter? You only know how to drink, and you don't have any grandfather rabbits."
Du Aniang cursed and then returned to the closet.
Song Gudao tore open the seal of the wine jar, raised his head and poured the strong wine into his stomach.
In just a few breaths, he drank all the wine from the jar.
Chen Changsheng glanced at him, and then at Du Aniang who was muttering softly in the cabinet. He felt strange, but he seemed to vaguely understand why this happened.
Song Gudao breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the corners of his mouth, and smashed the empty jar on the table.
Chen Changsheng asked: "It seems that you have not been to the human world these days."
"Went outside the city." Song Gudao agreed.
Chen Changsheng nodded slightly, and then said: "There are no other people in the wine shop, and Chen is just an outsider. If you are unhappy, you can talk to me. Things cannot be forgotten when you are drunk."
Song Gudao looked at him when he heard this.
He was silent for a long time, but didn't say anything.
"I……"
Song Gudao sighed and said, "It's better not to say anything."
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng said: "It depends on yourself."
He didn't ask any more questions, poured a jar of wine on Song Gudao and drank it on the table.
There was no conversation between the two, just drinking.
When Song Gudao was a little drunk, he said vaguely: "Master Rabbit, he went to the Demon Realm to be a spy. He..."
Chen Changsheng looked at him, but saw that Song Gudao did not continue.
Song Gudao gave a bitter smile, shook his head and sighed: "I hurt him."
Halfway through his words, he didn't mention it again.
After swallowing two large jars of wine, he passed out drunk on the table.
The sound of him hitting the table attracted Du Aniang in the closet.
Du Aniang smashed the table and walked over.
"Anyone named Song, if you want to get drunk, go outside and get drunk!"
Seeing that he had no reaction at all, Du Aniang spat and said, "I really owe you."
After saying that, she sighed, looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "Mr. Chen, could you please help me look at the wine shop, and I'll send it back to him."
Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "Okay."
Du Aniang helped Song Gudao up, obviously feeling that it was a bit difficult for a woman like her, but she still staggered and helped Song Gudao out.
She staggered and supported Song Gudao, and kept cursing.
.

Chen Changsheng waited in the wine shop for about half an hour. When the wine in the jar was almost low, Du Aniang came back from outside.
Du Aniang, who came back, no longer had the scolding attitude just now, but instead seemed a little absent-minded.
When she saw Chen Changsheng, she came to her senses and asked, "Did anyone come just now?"
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "No one."
Du Aniang nodded, and then walked towards the cabinet.
She flipped through it and then took out a ledger.
Du Aniang flipped through it carefully, and there were several crossed-out accounts on each page.
Chen Changsheng said: "This account seems to have been settled a lot, but it's not like what you said before."
Du Aniang pursed her lips and said, "Actually, I didn't get it back..."
She found the page with Master Rabbit written on it.
Then he took out a pen, dipped it in some ink, and crossed out the name and amount vigorously. He refused to stop until the entire area was blackened.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to recoup this debt. These heartless people have to let me clean up my account to be satisfied, right?"
Du Aniang's eyes turned red as she cursed, and a few tears fell on the account book.
Chen Changsheng stood aside silently, raised his head and drank the last sip of wine from the jar.
Du Aniang, who usually scolded her fiercely, now had a trembling voice and tears dripping down her face.
