South wall tavern declined, formerly everybody said that „does not hit the south wall not to turn head”, now turned „saw the south wall to turn head”. 南墙酒馆衰落了,从前大家都说“不撞南墙不回头”,现在变成了“望见南墙就回头”。 The reason of decline has, shop owner puts the blame on the war, he drew few drunkards to say frequently: „Hits, endless, does not know that they are struggling anything, may give others a bad time everybody, thinks that the shipping point nice wine comes in is really difficult. Here has the Central Plains good wine how many altars/jars just arrived, can come? Was more expensive than past a point, is......” 衰落的原因有很多,店主归咎于战争,他经常拉着为数不多的酒徒说:“打打打,没完没了,也不知道他们在争什么,可把大家都害苦了,想运点好酒进来真是难啊。我这里有几坛刚到的中原美酒,要不要来点？是比从前贵了一点,可是……” Still yearned for the south wall tavern usually is the old customer, he had a different point of view to here decline, did not evade to the shop owner, „went to war to affect all people, were you most why bad luck? Because you are not Lü Qiying, the Lu Zhanggui skill is big.” 仍然留恋南墙酒馆的通常是老顾客,他对这里的衰落另有看法,对店主也不避讳,“打仗影响所有人,为啥就你最倒霉？因为你不是吕奇英,吕掌柜本事大啊。” The topic changes inevitably remembers past times, Lu Zhanggui all of a sudden becomes the legendary character in the people mouth, the new shop owner took over for more than two years, is still unable to eliminate the trace that the predecessor left. 话题不可避免地转向怀旧,吕掌柜一下子在众人口中成为传奇人物,新店主接手两年多了,仍然无法消除前任留下的痕迹。 The early winter evening, outside has had a heavy snow, the business of tavern is even more desolate, the shop owner simply sends to go home most waiters, only keeps two person and a chef, deals with seven alcoholics. 初冬的傍晚,外面下了一场大雪,酒馆的生意越发冷落,店主干脆将大多数伙计打发回家,只留两个人和一名厨师,应对七名酒客。 The tall old man is the eighth alcoholic, comes in later to directly soar the fixed position, sits down later is looking at the light on table dull, does not utter a word. 身材高大的老者是第八名酒客,进来之后直奔固定的位置,坐下之后呆呆地望着桌上的灯光,一声不吭。 „Does old person, what eat?” The waiters said desolately, he is a new person, did not remember the former magnificence, but thought that this tavern occupying land area was not small, the guest who came has not actually distinguished with the tattered street shop. “老人家,吃点什么？”伙计冷淡地说,他是新人,不记得从前的辉煌,只是觉得这个酒馆占地不小,来的客人却跟破烂的街边小店没有区别。 The old men looked up waiter one eyes, the vision were passing swift and fierce accidentally, „most expensive liquor, a altar/jar.” 老者抬头望了伙计一眼,目光无意中透着一股凌厉,“最贵的酒,一坛。” „One...... A altar/jar?” The waiters think oneself misunderstood. “一……一坛？”伙计以为自己听错了。 The old men lower the head not to speak. 老者垂头不语。 „What is most expensive is the wine, wants...... More than 300 21 altars/jars.” Speaking of finally, the waiter lowered the sound, probably this was a secret. “最贵的是葡萄酒,要……300多21坛呢。”说到最后,伙计压低声音,好像这是一个秘密。 The old men pull out a spindle gold from the bosom, throws on the table conveniently, a few words did not say. 老者从怀中掏出一锭黄金,随手扔在桌上,还是一句话不说。 The waiters have tarried, he has seen the gold, but cannot guess correctly the value of this spindle. 伙计呆住了,他见过黄金,可是猜不出这一锭的价值。 The shop owner split vision glimpses wipes golden yellow, an arrow step to/clashes, pushes not to have the waiter of eyesight, the waist almost bends is orthogonal with the tabletop, „venerable, you may not come for a long time, was very recently busy? To drink the nice wine, does not have the issue, the Shu Le wine can only be ordinary, in the head store cannot say certainly first-grade, here has Central Plains......” 店主余光瞥见一抹金黄,一个箭步冲过来,推来没眼力的伙计,腰弯得几乎与桌面平齐,“老先生,您可好久没来啦,最近挺忙吧？想喝好酒,没问题,疏勒的葡萄酒只能算是普通,在本店绝称不上一等,我这里有中原……” „No, the wine is good, comes a altar/jar.” “不,葡萄酒就好,来一坛。” In the shop owner heart hates, to decide tonight to dismiss the waiter secretly, on the face actually smiled even more flatters, received quietly the gold on table, „how many type of food that goes well with wine came? The head store had just the river fish that dug from the ice, fresh......” 店主心中暗恨,打定主意过了今天晚上就将伙计开除,脸上却笑得越发谄媚,悄悄将桌上的金子收起来,“来几样下酒菜？本店有刚从冰里刨出来的河鱼,新鲜着呢……” „Does not use, comes pot tea again.” “不用,再来一壶茶水。” The shop owners have gawked, the liquor matches tea, this drinking law has not seen, 320 business that but he does not want to miss succeed in obtaining, told hurriedly another waiter moves the liquor, afterward looks at the old man eagerly, hopes that the opposite party wants anything again, he good to put in order the spindle gold to stay behind. 店主愣了,酒配茶水,这种喝法可没见过,但他绝不想错过已经到手的320生意,急忙吩咐另一名伙计搬酒来,随后眼巴巴地看着老者,希望对方再要点什么,他好将整锭金子都留下。 „Do you recognize me?” The old men asked stiffly. “你认得我？”老者生硬地问。 „? The venerable formerly was here patron, recently did not come......” shop owner to remember that this face, did not know the status of opposite party. “啊？老先生从前是这里的常客,最近不怎么来了……”店主记得这张脸,可不知道对方的身份。 „Goes to call that two tables of guests, I must ask everybody to drink.” “去把那两桌客人叫来,我要请大家喝酒。” That seven alcoholics already noted this rich old man, does not wait for the shop owner opens the mouth, everyone is carrying the same cooked food on table, runs over delightedly, own liquor one cup does not bring, first thanks the venerable, afterward asked the waiter to move the chair to come. 那七名酒客早已注意到这位有钱的老者,不等店主开口,每人端着桌上的一样菜肴,欢喜地跑过来,自己的酒一杯不带,先是感谢老先生,随后叫伙计搬椅子过来。 The table is not big, one side the old man monopolizes, another seven people appeared have crowded, but nobody cared, all was ready to fight, the preparation tasted 321 altars/jars the wines. 桌子不大,老者独占一面,另外七人就显得拥挤了,不过没人在意,全都摩拳擦掌,准备品尝321坛的葡萄酒。 The liquor has come up, in front of everyone fills to the brim one bowl, the alcoholics carry the bowl, has let to the old man politely, impatiently but actually in entrance. 酒上来了,每人面前都倒满一碗,众酒客端起碗,向老者客气地让了一回,迫不及待地倒入口中。 „Said that drinks the wine to use the luminous winecup, I remember that here has several to come, how to take?” Sends to all the white old alcoholic ask. “都说喝葡萄酒要用夜光杯,我记得这里有几只来着,怎么不拿出来？”一名发须皆白的老酒客问道。 The shop owner look is awkward, „luminous winecup is too crisp, destroyed.” 店主神色尴尬,“夜光杯太脆,都打碎了。” „Sold out to repay a debt by you?” “被你卖掉还债了吧？” The shop owners are even more awkward, „is the liquor, what cup with is different? Can the flavor on cup infiltrate to the liquor in?” 店主越发尴尬,“都是酒,用什么杯子不一样？难道杯子上的味道能渗到酒里去？” The white hair alcoholic pointed at the shop owner saying: „You are the reason that the south wall tavern from rise to fall, past Lu Zhanggui will not speak this impudent remark.” 白发酒客指着店主说:“你就是南墙酒馆由盛转衰的原因,当年的吕掌柜绝不会说这种混账话。” The shop owners draw back embarrasedly, thought that several poor wretches, excuse me drink also these many art. 店主讪讪地退下,心想几个穷光蛋,借光喝酒还这么多讲究。 One bowl of liquor have not drunk up, the white hair alcoholic discovers first unusually, „doesn't this mister drink? Flower, but your gold.” 一碗酒没喝完,白发酒客最先发现异常,“这位先生怎么不喝？花的可是你的金子。” The big old man to oneself one cup of tea, „I stopped drinking but actually.” 高大老者给自己倒了一杯茶,“我戒酒了。” „.” Seven people have simultaneously complied with one, no one has closely examined, here is Southern Jade City, they will not even ask that invited the name of guest. “哦。”七人同时应了一声,谁也没有追问,这里是璧玉南城,他们甚至不会问请客人的姓名。 „I just came, hearing you to discuss Dragon King, then said, I want to listen.” In the big old man tone has an inborn order to mean, the probably opposite several people are the students. “我刚进来的时候,听见你们在谈龙王,接着说,我想听听。”高大老者语气中带着一股天生的命令意味,好像对面的几个人都是学生。 „Talked foolishly, which spoke of calculates, had anything then to say.” The white hair alcoholic is very discrete, does not give up good wine, treasures the tongue in mouth very much. “瞎聊而已,说到哪算哪,有啥接着说的。”白发酒客很谨慎,舍不得美酒,也很珍惜口中的舌头。 The big old man actually like this does not believe, changes a short and stout alcoholic, „was you said that Dragon King was too stupid, I want to listen to the idea of smart person.” 高大老者却不这样认为,转向一名矮胖的酒客,“是你说龙王太笨吧,我想听听聪明人的想法。” The short and stout alcoholic has a look at the companion, drinks the liquor in bowl, oneself begin and fills to the brim one bowl, thought under cost price, said: „Are you Mr. Zhang Ji in masonry?” 矮胖酒客看看同伴,将碗中的酒一饮而已,自己动手又倒满一碗,觉得够本了,说:“您是石堡里的张楫先生吧？” „Masonry” two character exits, stand the shop owner who personally waits for in the nearby only thought that two legs one soft, almost kneels on the ground, traces the gold in bosom, discovers it hardly particularly. “石堡”两个字一出口,亲自站在附近守候的店主只觉得两腿一软,差点跪在地上,摸摸怀中的金子,发现它分外地坚硬。 „Un, I am Zhang Ji.” “嗯,我是张楫。” „Do you still teach in the masonry?” “您还在石堡里教书吗？” „Already did not teach, I left the masonry.” “早就不教了,我已经离开石堡。” On the shop owner leg has the strength, seven various alcoholics of sharing a table also shows the smiling face of feeling relieved, the short and stout alcoholic puts out the one breath, „this, we can actually chat several. Isn't Dragon King stupid? Several hundred thousand Northern Court cavalries urge for him, this is the Western Region person did not have since old times the glory, takes Jade City, to break through...... On the mountain the slight effort, he actually gave up, this what's the matter? I can guarantee, so long as the Northern Court army enters China, the Jade City person, does not dare to say completely, at least over 90%, surrenders immediately.” 店主腿上重新生出力气,同桌的七各酒客也露出放心的笑容,矮胖酒客吐出一口气,“这样啊,那咱们倒是可以闲聊几句。龙王还不笨吗？几十万北庭骑兵供他驱使,这可是西域人自古没有过的荣耀,拿下璧玉城、攻破……山上不过举手之劳,他却放弃了,这算怎么回事？我敢保证,北庭大军只要一进关,璧玉城的人,不敢说全部,至少九成以上,立刻投降。” „Person does not have the foresight, must have the sorrow near at hand.” After the liquor the idle talk, is more delicious than the tasty cooked food, the discrete white hair alcoholic cannot bear join, „wanted me saying that Dragon King was a smart person, Jade City prosperously what depended was what? Does not toil industriously, is not the favorable location, but is balanced, Central Plains, Northern Court and Shu Le, the three-country round manages, are equal to the three countries, no matter, Jade City can therefore collect world outstandingly able person strange thing. If Dragon King seizes Jade City using the Northern Court cavalry, is equal to henceforth only recognizing a master, will finish with the communication of Central Plains.” “人无远虑,必有近忧。”酒后闲话,比鲜美的菜肴还要可口,谨慎的白发酒客忍不住加入进来,“要我说,龙王是聪明人,璧玉城的兴盛靠的是什么？不是辛勤苦干,也不是位置优越,而是平衡,中原、北庭、疏勒,三国轮管,等于三国不管,璧玉城因此才能汇集天下奇人奇物。龙王要是利用北庭骑兵夺下璧玉城,等于从此只认一个主人,与中原的沟通就会结束。” Sits layer on layer/heavily pounds on the table in his person with a pockmarked face alcoholic, „right, do not look that Northern Court is split up now, soon can be formidable, Dragon King does not use the Northern Court cavalry, is fears to let a wolf into the fold, later wants to expel cannot drive out.” 坐在他身边的麻子酒客重重地一拍桌子,“没错,别看北庭现在四分五裂,用不了多久就能重新强大,龙王不用北庭骑兵,就是怕引狼入室,以后想撵也撵不走了。” The short and stout alcoholic attacked from both sides, is not discouraged, „you said well, but has forgotten a matter, does Dragon King care about the prosperity of Jade City? He wants to revenge, even if destroyed in a moment Jade City does not care.” 矮胖酒客受到夹攻,一点也不气馁,“你们说得都不错,可就是忘了一件事,龙王在乎璧玉城的繁荣吗？他是想报仇,就算把璧玉城毁于一旦也不在乎。” „Dragon King must revenge, but he rejects the Northern Court cavalry, indicated that he also cares about Jade City, how will become the too stupid reason?” “龙王是要报仇,可他拒绝北庭骑兵,表示他还在乎璧玉城,怎么会成为太笨的理由？” „Dragon King does not care about Jade City, is too arrogant, thinks that can defeat on the mountain depending on tens of thousands Dragon Army that.” “龙王不是在乎璧玉城,是太自大,以为光凭几万龙军就能打败山上那位。” „What do you want to say? Dragon King is too stupid, is arrogant?” “你想说什么？龙王是太笨,还是自大？” ...... …… Two groups of people win to be red in the face, liquor little has not actually drunk, Zhang Ji still one after another drank tea, probably is listening, is thinking own concern probably. 两伙人争得面红耳赤,酒却一口没少喝,张楫仍一杯一杯地喝茶,好像在听着,又好像在想着自己的心事。 „Mr. open/stretch, your liquor does not drink, the words did not say, may make us a little embarrassed.” The white hair alcoholic suspends arguing. “张先生,您酒也不喝,话也不说,可让我们有点不好意思了。”白发酒客暂停争辩。 „Right, heard that Mr. open/stretch formerly had taught Dragon King, how do you see him?” The plump and fair-complected alcoholic is at a disadvantage, earnestly hopes that has been supported. “对对,听说张先生从前教过龙王,您怎么看他？”白胖酒客正处于下风,迫切希望得到支持。 Zhang Ji grows the one breath, puts down the teacup, „Dragon King formerly was a lackey in masonry, what qualifications had to make me teach him?” 张楫长出一口气,放下茶杯,“龙王从前不过是石堡里的一名奴才,有什么资格让我教他？” The Zhang Ji tone is not small, the people discovered that the liquor in altar/jar has not drunk up, therefore only curls the lip, does not express the opinion. 张楫口气不小,众人发现坛里的酒还没喝完,于是只撇嘴,不发表意见。 „Dragon King is not stupid, he is very intelligent, heh, has not led the Northern Court cavalry to attack thousand to ride the pass/test, is actually he escaped.” Zhang Ji continues to say. “龙王不笨,他很聪明,嘿,没率领北庭骑兵进攻千骑关,其实是他逃过一劫。”张楫继续道。 „How did this saying say?” The white hair alcoholic said the doubts of all people. “这话怎么说？”白发酒客说出所有人的疑惑。 „Supreme King thousand has ridden pass/test to give to Central Plains, Dragon King, so long as begins, is declaring war to Central Plains.” “独步王已经将千骑关献给中原,龙王只要动手,就是在向中原宣战。” „Central Plains army to here, when they kill, did the masonry turn into the ash?” “中原大军离这儿远着呢,等他们杀到,石堡都化成灰了吧？” „Turns into the ash to be also what kind of? The masonry is dies, inside person is actually lives, Supreme King only need give way to traffic for a half year, can exterminate Dragon Army with the aid of Central Plains, then directs Northern Court, all restore the original design, will become the genuine king except for Supreme King, but Dragon King with has not existed has been same.” “化成灰又怎么样？石堡是死的,里面的人却是活的,独步王只需避让半年,就能借助中原剿灭龙军,然后再将北庭重新引回来,一切恢复原样,除了独步王会成为真正的王,而龙王就跟从来没存在过一样。” Zhang Ji is getting more and more extremely arrogant in the people eyes, will the short and stout alcoholic snort/hum, „Wang Zhu run away? Mr. open/stretch thought too simply, although you taught in the masonry, perhaps has not seen Wang Zhu several times.” 张楫在众人眼中越来越狂妄,矮胖酒客哼了一声,“王主会逃？张先生想得太简单了吧,您虽然在石堡里教书,恐怕也没见过王主几次吧。” Zhang Ji is not willing with its debate, his words saying that oneself and Supreme King relations are not worthwhile to the bystander explained. 张楫不肯与其辩论,他的话已经说完,自己与独步王的关系犯不着向外人解释。 The shop owners have audited, at this time inserted tastes: „Some guess truth of Mr. open/stretch, you heard actually, the masonry abrogated Killer(s) in large numbers, good long not to have incurred the apprentice some time, sign that this do not lie low until something blows over temporarily?” 店主一直旁听,这时插口道:“张先生的猜测其实有些道理,你们听说了吧,石堡大批裁撤杀手,好长一段时间没招过学徒了,这不是要暂避风头的迹象吗？” „These abrogated didn't Killer(s) join the Sky Mountain sect?” The short and stout alcoholic slightly obviously disdains, „the Sky Mountain sect is to trade the masonry of name now, looks at them rampantly......” “那些被裁撤的杀手不都加入天山宗了吗？”矮胖酒客略显不屑,“天山宗现在就是换个名字的石堡,瞧他们嚣张……” „Is your excellency discontented with the Sky Mountain sect?” An entrance sound said. “阁下对天山宗不满吗？”门口的一个声音说。 Middle-aged Bladesman slows pace to approach, in him behind, two indifferent young Bladesman defends in the entrance, looks around vigilantly in all directions. 一名中年刀客慢步走近,在他身后,两名冷漠的年轻刀客守在门口,警惕地四处张望。 „Du...... Du......” short and stout alcoholic frightens falls from the chair, other alcoholics all lowered the head, disguise not to know him. “杜……杜……”矮胖酒客吓得从椅子上掉下来,其他酒客全都低下头,假装不认识他。 „Below Du Jian, pays a visit Mr. open/stretch.” “在下杜渐,拜见张先生。” Sky Mountain sect sovereign, for the recent several months the character of Jade City crest of wave most vigor, bows to salute to the teaching mister who leaves the masonry unexpectedly humbly. 天山宗宗主,近几个月来璧玉城风头最劲的人物,竟然谦卑地向一名离开石堡的教书先生躬身行礼。 Another six alcoholics, including shop owner, on own initiative squats on the ground, criticizes own greed. 另外六名酒客,连同店主在内,也都自觉地蹲在地上,暗骂自己的贪心。 „From now on here is the total rudder of Sky Mountain sect.” The Zhang Ji tone is still desolate, looks at the shop owner who trembles, „earnest money you accepted, opens a total price.” “今后这里就是天山宗的总舵。”张楫语气依然冷淡,看着瑟瑟发抖的店主,“定金你已经收下了,开个总价吧。” ( Sought subscription to seek recommendation)( to be continued.) （求订阅求推荐）(未完待续。)
