Chapter 246: Wine is mellow and tasty
The sunny day broke through the clouds and spread across the land and sea. It was not yet the rainy season, so there were still many busy people in the empty wheat fields.
Because his sister became a messenger of God and for his own reasons, Mo Ran naturally became an idle person, sitting at home every day doing nothing.
If it weren't for Shu Qiuhu and the others who came to visit him from time to time, he would probably have stayed at home until he got moldy.
"Hehe, Kamisato Sangxi, when are you going to get married? You are the only one missing from our original guard team." Kujo Takeshun patted the young man's shoulder and said with a smile.
"There have been too many things going on lately. If I marry her, she will only suffer from the trouble. It would be better to wait until I'm done with all the work." Shenli Sangxi stretched lazily, his eyes squinting, as if he hadn't woken up yet.
The young man asked curiously, "What have you been up to? You look so tired."
"It's the order issued by the gods to read and write. I have only learned a hundred words in more than half a month, and I always forget them easily. How can it be like this?" Shenli Sangxi leaned against a tree trunk, resting with an empty mind.
The young man touched his chin and said, "So you don't want to marry your wife so soon because you're afraid she'll be alone, right?"
"Yeah." Shenli Sangxi nodded slightly without opening his eyes. He seemed really tired.
Kujo Takeshun folded his arms and suggested, "Why don't you let Boss Hiiragi's son teach you? I heard from Boss Hiiragi that his son learns characters very quickly."
"I'm a twenty-something and I'm learning so slowly. How is it possible for a kid to do that?"
"Who said it's impossible!"
"Boss Hiiragi." The three of them looked towards the narrow path in the woods and saw two figures slowly walking towards them.
Shenli Sangxi forced himself to open his eyes and said, "Boss Hiiragi, your son really learns quickly?"
"Of course, my son can write now!" Shu Qiuhu laughed. Being able to show off their children is the most proud thing for these men.
Kujo Takeshun laughed and said, "Did you hear that? You're even worse than the snotty kid! Hahaha."
"This kid is amazing." Shenli Sangxi held it in for a long time and could only say this because he had nothing else to say.
Mo Ran, who had never spoken a word, watched with a slightly disturbed look. To be able to learn so fast in such an environment, this Shenli Sangxi's learning ability was not bad.
As for the son of Hiiragi Qiuhu, he was just an exception. After all, some children learn things quickly. In addition, after the reform, children do not have to do any work, so they must spend more time studying than adults. It is not surprising.
Kamisato Sanqi had drooped his eyes and was just about to ask the eldest brother Hiiragi's son to teach him, but the whole village was in an uproar when they heard it, and many people shouted.
"Enemy invasion, enemy invasion!"
"Hurry, go back to the village!" Shuqiuhu took the lead and rushed back to the village from the hillside. The four people behind him did not fall behind and ran straight to the village entrance.
There are not too dense trees at the entrance of the village. The young and strong residents are gathered together with farm tools. Behind them is the village and their wives and children.
The leader of the other side, carrying a big knife, staggered back and forth, and said contemptuously: "Isn't it said that there is a god in your Inazuma Village? Why don't you call him out to see?"
"What's the point of sending these diggers here? You only have so many people. Hand over the women and food as soon as possible. Maybe we can return them to you when we have enough!"
"Brothers, am I right?"
"You're right, hahaha." More than 30 people laughed loudly, and countless dirty words were heard, making everyone furious.
Ying Sirang was also in the crowd at this time. He moved his left arm slightly and stared at the leader with a cold look. He shuttled through the crowd, squeezed to the front, waiting for his opportunity to move.
The leader was still very arrogant. He pointed at a person and said, "You are tall and thin. You must have been sucked dry last night. You are sweating even when you are standing still."
"And you, you're just a bunch of bloated fat, you don't have the strength, aren't you afraid of crushing someone to death? Go home and pull it out to see if it's the same size as you! Go ahead!"
"And you..."
puff!
Before he could finish his words, there was a sound of flesh being cut. Ying Sirang was seen waving a dagger with one arm. The two people near him had no time to dodge and one of them was stabbed to death. The other was kicked down and the dagger was placed on his neck. He died after being cut.
The leader snorted coldly, and more than 30 people also waved iron knives. Of course, the young and strong residents were not easy to mess with. Fighting is all about strength, and what they lack the least is the strength of their arms.
"Fight!" Someone shouted, and the battle between the two sides was like a burning fuse, ready to break out at any moment.
Inazuma's side had more people and more power, and Hiiragi Kyoukotora and his five men also arrived in time, so naturally there were no surprises. When the leader saw that he was the only one left and five or six knives were pointed at him, he quickly begged for mercy.
"Master, Master, I was wrong. I shouldn't have come to Inazuma to provoke her. Please forgive me, please forgive me!"
I guess he didn't beg for mercy, he couldn't even speak clearly, but he still kept begging.
Shu Qiuhu was unmoved and said, "Which village are you from? Tell the truth!"
"I, we were originally from Nandou Village, but were later driven out by the village leader. He said that we would not be allowed to return unless we destroyed a village called Inazuma. I had no choice but to come here!"
"Masters, please let me go!" the leader shouted.
"Nandou Village." After a brief thought, Hiiragi Qiuhu continued, "Aren't Nandou Village and Beizhan Village always fighting? How did they have time to come to us?!"
"I don't know that either." The leader said honestly.
"Hmm?" Shuqiuhu closed his eyes slightly and snorted deliberately, while the people behind him cooperated by patting the back of the knife. The bright light of the knife shone on their faces, which was very creepy.
But the leader still said the same thing: "I really don't know, I don't know! Uncle, no matter how many times you ask me, it's all the same, please, just let me go!"
Shuqiuhu's eyes moved slightly, and he killed the leader with a knife. He handed the body over to a few residents who volunteered to deal with it, and then they returned to the village.
The Inazuma's code of conduct is not to cause trouble, but not to be afraid of it either. If someone comes to their doorstep, do they really have to swallow their anger and send him back in a nice manner? That's pure wishful thinking.
In this era, if a knife does not have to be stained with human blood, it must be stained with animal blood. Otherwise, you are not a real man and are not worthy of being a man.
"Boss Hiiragi, that sword move just now was so cool!" Kujo Takeshun gave a thumbs up.
"Oh, you, Kujo Takeshun, know how to flatter. Well, tell me, what's the matter?" Hiiragi Qiuhu glanced at the knife in his hand, and still felt it was not easy to hold.
"That's right, my child also wants to learn to write, but he's a bit dumb, and I can't teach him, so I want to let your child take care of him, Boss Hiiragi."
"That's it. That's easy. I'll talk to Xiao Wang later and it'll be done." Seeing that Hiiragi Qiuhu agreed readily, Kujo Takeshun also said boldly, "Okay, then let's go get some wine tonight?"
As he spoke, Kujo Takeshun looked at the young man and asked, "A Feng, there is still a lot of rice wine that we brewed before, right?"
"Enough." Ah Feng waved his hand, but his heart ached. His wine was going to be finished again, especially this Kujo Takeshun who drank half and spilled the other half. It really made him "very" itchy.
Shenli Sangxi yawned and said, "You guys go ahead. I'm going back to rest. Otherwise, I probably won't be able to get up tomorrow."
"You're the only one spoiling the fun!" Kujo Takeshun said impatiently but did not reach out to stop him. After watching him go away, the remaining four people set off.
Ah Feng led the way to his door and shouted into the house, "Wife, I'm back."
"Mr. Feng is back!" A Feng's wife was a little taller than him, but that didn't stop them from falling in love. The moment the door opened, a little girl jumped out, hugged A Feng's calf, and shouted, "Daddy is back!"
"Well, Xiaoyuan, be good." Ah Feng looked at himself and found that there was no dust on him. Then he picked up the child and looked at the people behind him. He said softly, "Xiaoyuan, call uncle!"
"Hello, uncle." The girl was very obedient. Besides, it was not the first time for these uncles to come to her home, so she was not afraid of strangers. She looked at the stunned uncle and said, "Uncle, Xiaoyuan wants to carry me like last time!"
Mo Ran walked over with a calm look. A Feng said that the child was ignorant and sorry to trouble his brother, and let the child climb onto his shoulders.
"Hehe, Xiaoyuan is taller than daddy now. She can protect daddy and mommy!" The little girl sat on Mo Ran's shoulders and didn't play around. She just said words that only a child would say.
"Okay, Daddy will be obedient and let Xiaoyuan take good care of her." Ah Feng was teasing his daughter by the door and having a lot of fun.
Next to the wooden table, Hiiragi Kyuuto and Kujo Takeshun were sitting upright.
Afeng's wife poured them some good wine and looked at Afeng who was playing with the children with a look full of tenderness.
"Mr. Feng is still childish. It's really embarrassing that you don't come to entertain the guests in person when they are here."
Jiujo Takeshun waved his hand and said, "It's okay, sister-in-law. Feng and I have been playing together since we were young, and we never care about these things."
Shu Qiuhu also nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, any brother who comes to visit needs the owner to accompany him all the time. He runs around outside with us all day, it's time for him to spend time with the children!"
"I heard what you two said." Ah Feng walked to the table, took his wife in his arms, sat opposite them, and said, "You can't call me sister-in-law, just call me sister-in-law!"
"You wish. I'm older than you!" Kujo Takeshun drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp without changing his expression.
Ah Feng pretended to be surprised and said, "Why didn't you drink half and spill the other half this time? Is this still you, Kujo Takeshun?"
"Why not? I have to pay attention to my image. Are you jealous?"
"Hey, who would be jealous of a rough guy like you!"
Drinking and laughing with a few people who were as close as brothers was perhaps the most enjoyable thing for Ah Feng. His face was flushed at this moment, and he was obviously not very drunk.
"If you can't drink anymore, stop drinking immediately." Hiiragi Qiuhu advised.
"I'm fine. Ahem, Xiaoyuan should come down. Let your uncle sit for a while." A Feng looked at Mo Ran who was still teasing the child.
"Oh." Xiaoyuan nodded and let the silent uncle let him go.
Ah Feng held the bowl of wine in both hands, and with the support of his wife, he said, "Brother, you didn't drink last time, so you have to drink a glass this time, right?"
Mo Ran still said nothing. He took the wine bowl with both hands and drank it all.
"Brother, you are so generous!"
