Chapter 1026 "Readers"
The first floor looks dilapidated compared to the one above. The oil lamp and sunlight illuminate the tavern quite brightly. The air is filled with the stench of sweat. Flies are scattered around the crowd. Most of the people are shirtless, dark and full of labor. The traces left behind are all smiling, and their eyes are fixed on a person in the center of the crowd who looks out of place, dressed in a worn light blue robe, a high-top faded scholar hat, black and white beards that extend to the chest, and the same wrinkles on his face. A down-and-out scholar with a wrinkled face on a pug's face.
The scholar sat in the middle of the crowd, holding a wine glass in his hand, his face was flushed and his expression was smug, he raised the wine glass and looked around at the people around him, showing off his knowledge:
"Do you know that there are four ways to write Huizi."
He stood up abruptly, dipped his hand towards the wine in the wine glass, and used a pointer to write a simple reply beside the table, solemnly saying:
"This is one of them.
As he said that, he raised the wine glass with the other hand, raised his head to drink the wine, his face became intoxicated, he shook his head, and he was very leisurely. 490
"Kong Yi, don't write it, just settle this month's wine money first!
The shopkeeper was joking.
"Which.... times, which time, without you! 35
Kong Yi stood up and pointed at the shopkeeper staggeringly, replying in a vague tone.
"Mr. Kong, don't you have no money for wine again?"
The big shirtless man next to him laughed, and the big men around looked at each other, laughed out loud, and looked at Kong Yi with the expectation of watching a circus clown.
"How... how can there be no money!"
Kong Yi rubbed his hands together, then quietly touched a hand to his pocket, tilted his head and said with a guilty conscience:
"My family, there is also money, I forgot to bring it today."
The air was instantly filled with a cheerful atmosphere, people toasted and staggered, as if watching a wonderful performance of a monkey.
At this time, the shopkeeper also smiled and said:
"Well, you must pay me for the wine tomorrow."
Kong Yi smiled at the shopkeeper.
Probably no fun discussing wine money. The big men turned their heads and began to poke at Kong Yi's pain point. Someone said:
"Kong Yi, what do you think you learned from reading? Look at the mayor's son. He can read and read for 800 miles a day without breathing. Here, you have nothing."
After Kong Yi heard this, his face that was already red from the smell of alcohol turned red again.
"Who, who said I didn't read anything, I learned a skill yesterday!
"Hey! It's not for us bastards!
"That's natural!"
After saying that, he stood up straight, took a deep breath, clenched his fists, placed it on his chest, then slowly exhaled the turbid air, closed his eyes tightly, and took a step.
Everyone leaned up one after another, staring at Kong Yi with wide eyes to see what tricks he could make.
Time passed slowly, and Kong Yi still stood in the same place and didn't understand, just like a statue.
"I said Kong Yi, what kind of medicine do you sell in this gourd, and what about your skills?
Kong Yi deflated the person who was speaking, relaxed his body, exhaled a long breath, and said with a smug and solemn tone;
"This is the skill I just learned, Turtle Breathing Technique, I tried it yesterday, I can hold my breath for an hour (adfc) without panting!"
"Ha ha ha ha...."
The pleasant atmosphere in the air reached its climax. People were sitting on chairs laughing, some rolling on the ground, and even the always serious shopkeeper couldn't help laughing.
"After reading for decades, I learned to hold my breath like a bastard.
The laughter boiled again, and people mocked Kong Yi unscrupulously, only to see Kong Yi's cheeks flushed, the corners of his mouth twitching, one foot supported, one foot slammed on the floor, both hands anxiously and randomly pointing at the people around him, drawing a line in the air. Arc, loudly:
"Vulgar people are vulgar people, how can they understand the profoundness of novels?
The people's laughter continued, drowning out Kong Yi's voice. Kong Yi felt insulted and turned his head to leave. Only then did everyone notice Kong Yi. The laughter gradually weakened, and someone shouted with sarcasm:
"Hey, Mr. Kong, don't go, don't go!
Kong Yi ignored it and continued to walk towards the gate.
The shopkeeper gestured with one hand, twisted the abacus with the other, and said to Kong Yi's back:
"Kong Yi, you still have wine in your jug. Count two taels for wine! 99
After Kong Yi heard this, his foot suddenly stopped like lead, he turned his head slowly, returned to his chair, poured wine into the glass, and drank silently.
Everyone looked at Kong Yi as if they were looking at a monkey.
"Hey, Kong Yi, the four ways to write the word "Hui" are telling the men!"
Another burst of laughter came from the pub.
Kong Yi seemed to be inaudible, drinking silently...
When everyone saw how to tease Kong Yi, he kept silent, so he stopped making fun of himself, and each drank with his partner beside him.
Ye Xuan watched this farce, the original excitement was swept away, and there was an indescribable complexity in his heart. Ye Xuan knew the complexity of the world, but he didn't know how to do it. He left the tavern silently and walked to the front door. Ye Xuan looked up at the plaque "Manmin Tavern", then looked at the big man in the tavern and Kong Yi in the crowd, shook his head and let out a sarcastic smile.
The power of the world flows slowly...
