Chapter 005: Dressed in Fine Clothes and Riding a Furious Horse
The farmers working in the fields all paused their tasks and curiously looked up to observe
Riding on horseback are two tall young men, dressed in identical black fitted long-sleeved shirts, appearing neat and tidy, full of vigor and spirit
When the goal is achieved, what need is there to choose the means?
Chu Linfeng was well aware of his temperament and drinking capacity, and after offering his advice, he let him go on his way
Sun Zhu Liu slammed the wine bowl down heavily and cursed, "Damn it, I haven't even settled down yet, what kind of trouble is this?"
Little Gray completed the task and jumped onto the table to peck at the peanuts
"Oh, are you from Anding County?" The tea house owner lifted the lid of the wooden barrel and cheerfully served two bowls of pear blossom white tea, which had a golden hue, onto the table: "You look quite unfamiliar; may I ask which village you are from?"
He held a bowl of pear blossom white, gazing at the distant green mountains, thinking of his parents, who were so close yet had not been seen for a long time, and even his usually calm heart could not help but surge with emotion
A gentle breeze blows, willow catkins flutter, two rows of verdant willows are enveloped in the soft spring sunlight, the distant mountains are lush and dripping with green, and a few wild peach trees bloom in vibrant colors, resembling shy and timid young maidens. A faint wisp of smoke rises gracefully from the mountains, tranquil as if it were a watercolor painting
"Hehe, you never said I couldn't sneak away." Sun Zhuliu laughed triumphantly without looking back, saying, "Just admit defeat!"
Two horses, one in front and the other behind, raced towards the tomb with the wolf, and in just a moment, they arrived before the pavilion. Chu Linfeng, who started later, arrived first, gaining a slight advantage of half a horse's length.
Although this wine is sweet upon entry, it has a strong aftertaste. Drink it slowly; there are still twenty miles to go. Chu Linfeng reminded with a smile, first bringing the wine bowl to his nose to sniff, then gently taking a sip, his face revealing a look of satisfaction
"Leaving home at a young age." Chu Linfeng smiled faintly, glossing over the matter, unwilling to draw attention to it
Chu Linfeng remained silent, turned over, and mounted the horse, quietly gazing at the undulating mountains to the east
Drinking wine," Chu Linfeng frowned and interrupted him: "This is the most famous pear blossom white from our hometown, which has the functions of clearing heat and moistening the lungs, promoting digestion, and nourishing the body.
How heartless... Sun Zhu and * the picture * saw that Chu Linfeng had already gone far away. He pulled the reins and accelerated to catch up: "Hey, don't be so quick to refuse, think it over a bit more..."
"What is Bu Shengyan saying?" Sun Zhuliu leaned over to take a look
Alright, this is what you said! Sun Zhuliu lowered his body, gave a light shout, and kicked the horse's belly hard with his boot. The horse, in pain, bolted out like a shooting star
"So fragrant..." Upon seeing the fine wine, Sun Zhuliu was already overjoyed, his eyes sparkling with delight. He picked up the large bowl and gulped it down in one go, finishing it completely. Finally, wiping his mouth, he exclaimed, "Good wine, good wine, bring me another bowl!"
In the gentle breeze, Sun Zhuliu raised his long eyebrows with a playful smile and said, "Having you is enough for me"
On the simple rural path, only a wisp of smoke and dust lingers for a long time
"Go back?" Sun Zhuliu was momentarily stunned, then shouted loudly, "Haven't I even entered the house yet? I won't go back. Let's see if he dares to chop off my head while he walks away in a huff!"
If you can arrive before me, I will consider your suggestion said Chu Linfeng with a smile
"Mother, this horse is being lazy!" Sun Zhuliu said angrily as he kicked the horse and reluctantly followed inside
Chu Linfeng grasped the reins tightly and shouted, "Giddy up!"
A soft sound fluttered through the air, and a gray dove descended from the sky, landing on the roof of the tea house. With its small head tilted, its round little eyes gazed at Chu Linfeng, cooing continuously.
Ah," Sun Zhuliu controlled the reins with one hand, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "The hometown of Linfeng is indeed beautiful with its mountains and clear waters, even the air carries a hint of sweetness! Once the war is over, why not buy a few plots of land here and live next to you, what do you think?"
"Lin Feng, do not bother with him! We are only twenty miles away, let us go and return quickly, just a glance and we will leave, at most we will be half a day late..." Sun Zhuliu, do not chatter on.
"Hey, you are being deceitful!" Chu Linfeng accused, not very seriously.
Forget it! Chu Linfeng lightly squeezed the horse's belly, and the yellow-skinned horse shot out like an arrow, laughing loudly: "You should find your beloved confidante; I have no interest in you."
After running over a hundred miles in one go, I downed a bowl of pear blossom white, which truly surpassed jade dew and crystal nectar. My entire body felt refreshed, with all thirty-six thousand pores exuding a sense of coolness
I saw it, so what?
Is there a change in the military? The owner of the tea house gazed at their receding figures, muttering to himself several times, when suddenly his eyes lit up: Was that not General Chu from Langli Village?
The horse let out a long neigh and, with a burst of speed, galloped westward like lightning.
Hehe, Chu Linfeng chuckled and teased, "This place is not like the capital; there are no Qin towers or Chu pavilions, no Su'e or Jiaoniang. You must be able to endure loneliness."
Hehe, Sun Zhuliu smiled meaningfully and said: "Familiarity breeds recognition; next time you will know him."
Did you see that pavilion? Chu Linfeng pointed his whip directly at the makeshift tea shed three miles away
Chu Linfeng smiled faintly, choosing not to expose the situation. He sat down on a long bench and tossed a piece of broken silver onto the table. "Bring me two bowls of Pear Blossom White."
You have lost! Chu Linfeng smiled, dismounted, and confidently entered the tea house.
"There has been a change in the military," Chu Linfeng said with a cold expression, putting the note into his pocket and striding towards the tea house exit. "Let’s go, we are returning!"
Sun Zhuliu was taken aback and exclaimed, "Xiao Hui?"
Who would have thought that thirteen years of homesickness and days of travel would now be replaced by just a bowl of pear blossom white
A man drinks for the sheer pleasure of it; if he wants to be nagged, he might as well go home and hold his child! Sun Zhuliu disdainfully curled his lip, took the second bowl of Pear Blossom White offered by the tea house owner, and downed it in one go, exclaiming, "Refreshing, refreshing!"
That may not be the case! Chu Linfeng smiled proudly, then lightly flicked the whip, urging the horse to chase swiftly
Chu Linfeng tossed a few peanuts onto the table, and Xiao Hui fluttered and flew onto Chu Linfeng's shoulder
Chu Linfeng extended his hand, removed a bamboo tube that was tied to Xiao Hui's leg, and carefully pulled out a rolled-up piece of paper that had been twisted into a long strip.
Hey, wait for me!" Sun Zhuliu hurriedly threw down the bowl, dashed out of the pavilion, jumped onto the horse's back, and galloped after.
Two yellow-coated horses galloped towards us, stirring up a cloud of dust, and the rapid sound of their hooves shattered the tranquility and serenity of the mountain village
