Wangcun is a typical town on the side of Fujian. The stone roads in the town have been blown by hundreds of years and are as bright as mirrors. Because the town is not far from the city, in addition to a few inns, there are also several small hotels. These small hotels always attract the people in the town and the villagers, vendors and workers who go to the market nearby. They often stand by the counter, spend a 20-cent copper coin, buy a 20-20 bowl of wine, and then stand outside the counter, warm a bowl and drink it, and think it is a rest.

There are many ways to attract customers in these small hotels. Some shopkeepers will make more wine for each bowl of wine, and some will add some fennel beans to serve as wine. Of course, if you are rich, you will be willing to pay more than ten cents to buy a meat dish, but most customers are not so generous. Only a few people can sit in the store and ask for wine and food and drink slowly. After all, not everyone can afford it.

"Er Xi, when making wine, you must carry the pot full. Our house holds a pot of three or three cents, and the other person holds a pot of three or three cents. When his hands shake, he only has two or eight or nine cents left in the bowl. This business must be practical. Our wine is 3 or three cents..."

As usual, shopkeeper Lu was drinking while teaching his companion. Wang Erxi has been working as a companion in this Xianheng Hotel in Detong since he was nine years old, according to the shopkeeper.

"Look, the wine must be full from the jar and cannot be leaked... Just be a mate in this skill, and you will not practice for two years, and you can't scoop your own wine..."

Almost every day, the shopkeeper was so nagging, but Wang Erxi also knew that this was what the shopkeeper said to the guests next to the wine cabinet. After all, the reason why they came here to drink was because of the extra two or three cents of wine.

In fact, this is the case in the hotel. Some give more wine and some fennel beans. In short, those who like to drink will come and give more wine. Those who need to serve wine will naturally go there and give more fennel beans.

Although he always felt a little monotonous and boring, Wang Erxi was happy with such days. After all, he was given 10 yuan a day for his work. Although he didn't have much money, he was in charge of food. This was a great thing for his family. After all, the family was only a few acres of thin land. I was a half-year-old boy who was poor, so he could always save some food at home.

"Warm three bowls of wine!"

Once again, when the rough words came to my ears, Wang Erxi saw General Li, who was the biggest figure in this town.

Everyone called him general because he was indeed a general in the official army and had fought Japanese pirates at sea. However, although he was a general, he was a person who stood drinking. People said that he was not without money, but because he gave all the money to his subordinates and those disabled brothers on the battlefield. He was tall, dark in his face, and had some scars on his face. He had a piece of chaotic and gray hair and his clothes looked clean, but they were covered with patches. As the only big man in the town, he was dressed in this way. Naturally, it became a joke in the eyes of everyone.

As soon as he arrived at the store, the drinkers looked at him and laughed, and some shouted.

"Oh, General Li, you're always here to drink again!"

He didn't answer, but said to the cabinet.

"Three bowls of wine together into a big bowl."

As they spoke, they took out three cents. Seeing this scene, they shouted loudly again deliberately.

"Oh, General Li, do your wife know that you are here to buy wine? If you don't know, don't get home and then bombard it..."

General Li was not angry about the laughter of others. He just squinted his eyes and looked at the wine. While drinking, he squinted his eyes and said,

"After all, it's better to drink..."

"Wine is good? The daughter of 18 years old is better. General Li wouldn't talk about going out to sea to fight Japanese pirates back then, so let's treat you two bowls!"

"I think it's just a brag. Even a woman can't control her, so she can't beat the Japanese pirates."

To the people in the town, it seems that General Li is the joke in their mouths. Whether he returns to his hometown in poverty or has a tigress at home, they are all jokes.

Amid their teasing, Wang Erxi saw that General Li had turned red and blue veins on his forehead burst out, but he did not argue, but just drooped his eyes and then started drinking.

For many people, he seems to be the target of everyone's jokes. There is no other reason. He is a officials for food and clothing. He is better. He is a government official and has lost his family business. After going out for more than ten years, he has not brought back a tael of silver when he comes back, but he has brought back a few disabled people to support him at home. Although the wife of the family is virtuous, he has never blamed him for it. But he has never been rude to him.

Amid these bursts of laughter, the inside and outside of the store were filled with joy. Wang Erxi watched General Li drink with a big bowl, one bowl a day, as if it was unmoved.

I stood by the cabinet and looked outside the store. It seemed that today was no different from usual, but it seemed a little different. With the sound of horse hooves, everyone was surprised. The two horses stopped straight in front of the hotel. As soon as the horse stopped, someone jumped off and walked to the hotel and bowed to him.

"But General ***."

"Who are you?"

*** Put down the wine bowl in his hand and looked at the two people in front of him with some surprise.

"The servants of the young Duke Cheng's mansion have handwritten letters from the Duke of the Faith to the general, and there is also a letter from the Duke of the Faith Yu Wuxiang in the Duke of the Faith Yu."

Duke of the Kingdom!

Duke Yu Wuxiang!

Oh, these are all big shots!

The guests who were originally laughing in the hotel, listening to these names, opened their eyes wide in surprise and looked at General Li standing next to the counter at the door. He seemed to have not heard it, standing there and continued to drink his wine, without even receiving the letter. This look... so arrogant!

It was not just awesomeness, it was simply shocking. In the past, although they knew General Li was a big shot, they never thought that such a big shot would not even give him the face of the Duke.

The two who delivered the letter were not in a hurry, but just stood respectfully under the steps. It was not until General Li finished drinking that he glanced at the two of them and said.

"Where do you believe?"

After taking the letter, *** first opened the letter of the eldest son, carefully looked at the contents of the letter, pondered for a moment, and then said.

"Let's go, where is the horse? I'll go to the capital with you!"

Everyone in the hotel was surprised when they heard this, and their eyes changed when they looked at General Li. In their surprise, they looked at Wang Erxi standing behind the counter and smiled at him.

"Erxi, how about it? Are you willing to go out with me for a few years with Old Man Li?"

After saying that, he looked at the hotel and smiled.

"Just this hotel, you will stay in this hotel for the rest of your life, just a guy who makes wine at the station cabinet. You will be overwhelmed by the whole life, that is, you will only have to rely on yourself if you want to live a good life!"

Faced with this sudden incident, Wang Erxi was stunned. Just when he didn't know how to answer, he heard a drunkard saying.

"Erxi, why are you still standing stupidly? Why don't you thank General Li quickly. If you can become General Li's follower, then you have burned high incense for the previous generation..."

For a moment, everyone in the room envied Wang Er's preference for blessings. Now they completely forgot about General Li's previous despise. Although they didn't know how old the Duke was, they could have to send someone to travel thousands of miles to invite him back to the capital. Then, with such a person, they would be better off.

"Erxi, just go, and I will say to your mother when I look back."

Wang Erxi said the shopkeeper's words.

"Yes, but my mother, that, over there..."

"Who do you carry the silver? Get me ten taels of silver."

Looking back at the two people, he asked. The man quickly took out ten taels of silver when he heard this.

"Shopkeeper, send this money to Erxi's family. I'll take Erxi with me. This guy will be useless if he stays here as a mate!"

When he finished speaking, he looked at the drinkers in the room again and sneered.

"You guys..."

After saying that, he shook his head again. In the end, he didn't say a word. He just jumped onto the horse silently, and then said to Wang Erxi.

"What are you still standing there? Why don't you follow me quickly!"

It was only then that Wang Erxi followed him blankly. When he left the town, Wang Erxi looked back at him again. He suddenly felt an extremely complicated emotion in his heart.

"Why are you a little scared?"

***qiao looked at the silly boy in front of him. Then he said,

"When I went out, you were not much older than you. This person either accepted his fate or refused to accept his fate. If he did not accept his fate, he had to go there by himself. As long as you were willing, you could always make some achievements."

Listening to General Li's words, Wang Erxi turned his head and looked at the general standing at the bridge. Then he asked.

"Then General Li, what about you?"

After he asked this, *** was stunned at first. Just as he was about to answer, he heard someone saying something next to him.

"I said, how do you guys say? Do you know how glorious General Li was back then? I tell you that the general could take you out, that was the blessing you received only after burning high incense in your previous life."

"That's not. In this life, I, Old Chen, can keep up with General Li, not for the blessings of several lifetimes. If you can get into the eyes of the general, that's a great fortune."

The three disabled people who were missing their arms and legs were like him. Look at these three people, Erxi knew that the three of them were the ones brought back by the general from outside.

"In theory, old brothers should let you live at home. But I have no one at hand, so I can only call my brothers to come and help me."

***Watch the three of them saluted.

"You are kind to you, General, where are we going?"
