Earthen wine jar
(got too lazy to draw anything and honestly I’m horrible at drawing people)
Thinking up to here, Yi Xun turned around to go outside. However, when he had just crossed the door, he happened to meet Liu Shang, who was carrying an earthen jar of wine and heading towards this place.
“Yi Xun, are you going out? I was just looking for you.” Done speaking, he let out a loud and clear belch.
Yi Xun turned towards him, only to meet with Liu Shang’s red face. Furthermore, there was a ray of drunkenness in his eyes, and his whole body reeked of alcohol. Yi Xun moved a few steps back, trying as much as possible to not let Liu Shang’s alcohol smell come close to his body.
He asked: “How much liquor have you drunk? The smell of alcohol is very strong.”
“Hicc! Not many, just five or six jars.” Liu Shang chuckled foolishly, “but my father’s wine is actually better than my wine, I admire him.”
Hearing this, Yi Xun gave a sympathetic look at him. For many generations, the Lu family made a living by brewing wine. Liu Shang’s father was a person who loved wine very much, to the point of being foolishly protective over his wines. If he knew that Liu Shang had taken his treasured brews, it’s possible that he would be punished under the family law and was expelled from the family.
Yi Xun : “Right, why were you looking for me?”
Liu Shang mysteriously pulled him to one side and handed an envelope to Yi Xun, talking in a small voice : “This is from Uncle Ding, he asked me to give it to you. Quickly open it to see what’s written inside. Could it be that Uncle Ding’s daughter wrote you a love letter? Maybe she was too shy to personally deliver it to you so she entrusted Uncle Ding to pass it to you.”
Uncle Ding?
Yi Xun was suspicious, yet his hands obediently moved to open the envelope. Opening the letter, he recognized a familiar handwriting.
“I am waiting for you at the place closest to God.” Not knowing when, Liu Shang had moved closer and read the sentence written on the letter out loud. He scratched his head and with a puzzled look he asked, “What kind of trick is written here.”
“Here” must be pointing to the place closest to God.
God?
Yi Xun suddenly lifted his head, looking at the nearby mountain peak.
Could it be that it was referring to the mountain god?!
It seemed that it was indeed pointing to the mountain god. Then the place closest to god must be behind the mountain.
But the back of the mountain is very vast, in the end, where could it be?
Uncle Ding, does he know something?
“Yi Xun, Yi Xun, Yi Xun! “ Screamed Liu Shang.
“Why are you screaming, I’m not deaf.” Yi Xun complained and massaged his temples.
Liu Shang sighed, “You can hear me now? I have been calling you many times, what were you thinking about, looking so lost in thought? Could it be you were thinking about Ling?”
After these words came out, Liu Shang felt extremely regretful and wanted to give himself a slap. “Yi Xun, you listen to me…….”
Ling?!
Why did Liu Shang suddenly mention Ling?
Could it be that Liu Shang knew him?
“Liu Shang …. Liu Shang, since you know him, doesn’t that mean that all the people in the village still remember, remember things related to Ling?! They did not forget him!”
“Yi Xun…….”
“Liu Shang, tell me if it’s right or not!”
“……. That’s right.”
Liu Shang’s words sounded like a clap of thunder in Yi Xun’s heart and mind. For a moment he did not know whether to cry or laugh, looking possessed.
“In that case… , why have you all kept me in the dark for ten years ?! Why!”
Yi Xun realized he shouldn’t be angry at Liu Shang, but he couldn’t stop himself.
To think they had hidden it from him for a whole decade, he was kept completely in the dark like a fool, not being aware of anything.
If Liu Shang hadn’t blurted it today, were they planning to continue to conceal it from me?
“Yi Xun, calm down a little! You must not let your mood get too excited!”
“Calm down? How can I calm down?!”
Yi Xun leaned against the wall and bent down, gasping big mouthful of air.
“Yi Xun….. you, are you okay?”
Nobody knew how much time had passed before Yi Xun opened his mouth: “I’m okay. You can tell me, why was I kept in the dark? How much have you concealed from me?”
“I…….”
“Liu Shang, you know,” Yi Xun looked at his hesitant appearance and said: “He was very important to me.”
“Very important.”
