Bulwark of Light

Chapter 97 Lion Wake

The old city at 11:30, with scattered lights and dim night, is different from the prosperity of the main city and the banks of the river beaches. It has the texture of the old times, like a movie shot on film, and even the sound of the wind blowing is more quiet, and there seems to be old songs flowing in the air.

Some people say that this is a pyrotechnic atmosphere, a humanistic atmosphere.

But in the eyes of more people who don’t speak… this is the breath of being eliminated by the times.

Only Xiuren models will make a special trip to the old city of Dadu, in fact, to take pictures, put them on their personal social platforms, show their unique artistic atmosphere, or undertake business orders. These people leave after taking the photo. Before the shutter is pressed, they are leaning against the old alley with their coffee in their hands and smiling sweetly. After the photo is frozen, they will only have endured the hardships of a long journey and rush to the next location, thinking of taking the photo earlier. Finish work early.

Things that are really outdated by the times will not be abused.

The real elimination is forgetting, quietly exiting the stage. When everyone suddenly thinks of it, they will only feel surprised. Maybe there is regret for a second, but they will be forgotten in a flash.

This old town has no place in everyone’s memory… Nostalgic people can’t survive in this city.

Gu Shen stood at the corner of the alley.

He glanced at the time and couldn’t help holding his forehead, thinking that he must be crazy.

Follow your usual routine.

At this point in time, I should have rested.

But the crow called Gu Shen and, as a friend, kindly invited him to come to the old town for a late night snack… an invitation that sounded unattractive, Gu Shen didn’t know his head Which muscle cramped, and even chose to go to the appointment on time.

Unsurprisingly, the unreliable guy who made the warm invitation was not there yet.

Wouldn’t it be gu gu?

“Come here!”

Someone waved from a distance over the night.

A man in a suit and leather shoes, wearing a heavy motorcycle helmet on his head, waved his hand while trying to remove the helmet with one hand, perhaps because the helmet was too tight, he tried twice. It ended in failure… The man’s top-heavy running posture was rather comical.

In the end, Song Ci made a sudden stop with both feet, made a gesture of bending over and bowing, lowered his head and knocked on the forehead, muttering.

“The chinstrap is a little tight…you help me pull it out.”

Gu Shen felt helpless and held up his hand. He had to say that the helmet was really tight , straightened up with both hands, and pulled hard…

“Boom” sounded.

“Yo hoho…comfortable.”

The crow breathed out a large puff of smoke, refreshed, and he even had a woman’s cigarette butt in his mouth that burned his ass. , I really don’t know how he was riding his bike in the smoky vision of the goggles.

“The smoke was given to me by Madam, and I can’t bear to throw it away.”

Song Ci shook the helmet with both hands, shaking out soot dust. The butt of the cigarette fiercely took a big mouthful, said with a smile: “Why do you have a displeased face written all over your face.”

Gu Shen said angrily: “I believed in your evil and blew it in the cold wind for half an hour. !”

“Hey, hey… how long has it been? After hanging up, I did something temporarily.”

Song Ci scratched his head, “The old town is different from Jiangtan. Yes, everyone is asleep at this point. Riding a motorcycle to blow up the street is to be scolded by people. Although my mother is already dead, I don’t care about being scolded, but after all, wearing this suit represents the face of my wife and is immoral. Don’t do things… I came here with my cart in the last section of the road, and just parked my motorcycle outside the alley.”

“Just come, I’m not deceived.” Gu Shen sighed softly.

“What kind of a word is this! Is my one word worth nine sacred tripods crow that kind of person?” Song Ci frowned and said, “It’s open for dinner tonight, I’ll treat you!”

……

……

“Come on.”

It’s half past eleven in the middle of the night, and Lao Xu Beef Noodle House hasn’t closed yet, but it’s getting close. , Boss laughed and greeted Song Ci, “I’ll fry what you want to eat, but I won’t accept guests later, I’ve reserved a place for you at the end…”

Song Ci hehe laughed , he shrank Neck looked at the second floor of the store.

“Don’t worry…I’m already asleep.”

The Boss whispered: “Don’t bother her, or…she’ll chase you.”

Song Ci hurriedly made a gesture of understanding, and dragged Gu Shen cautiously to sit in front of the small table in the corner, he whispered: “Lady Boss doesn’t like seeing me very much, let’s be quiet later.”

Gu Shen laughed, “It’s not because of the immoral things you usually do?”

Song Ci snorted and whispered: “I usually avoid the bill, but it’s not that no one pays… She doesn’t owe her a penny, and this woman doesn’t look good all day.”

“How do you know that the people who brought her in the past will obediently pay for it?”

Song Ci Sneered, stretched out his fist as big as a sandbag, and said proudly: “Hey, do you see it? With this, people can buy the bill.”

Gu Shen felt helpless.

“Let’s get some beef offal hotpot, then some small stir-fried pork, and spicy fried chicken gizzards…” Song Ci didn’t open the memorized menu from beginning to end, and ordered three dishes in one go, implying that He fully asked: “What do you want to add?”

Gu Shen understood the meaning of this fellow at a glance: “No need… these are enough.”

“Cough… why are you looking at me like this?” Song Ci said with a smile: “We’re just rough people, we don’t have a high-level hobby, and we’re usually not willing to go to the riverside to spend money for three hundred and one dollars. A glass of foreign wine, the wine here is delicious and cheap!”

“Youngsters in Jiangtan like to drink sake at night, it is a drink from the Yinghai area, it sounds petty and elegant, you can taste it Taste this…” Song Ci and Boss whispered a few words, Lao Xu took out a long bottle of Mysterious wrapped in black newspaper from the inside of the cabinet, he said with a smile in a low voice, “Pure man should drink this. !”

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes and looked at the small cup of baijiu in front of him, thinking that this wine is even more compact than the one in the Qing Tao bar, such a small cup, it will be finished in one sip. ?

For a young man like him, drinking should be the worst thing to do. For investigation needs, he went to Jiangtan to taste 300 cups of “Metropolis” last time. Not bad, not as bad as Song Ci said.

Gu Shen raised his glass and drank it with the idea of giving it a try.

Gu Shen choked his throat in one gulp, and almost spit out his snot and tears.

The wine this time is obviously different from the previous one. The entrance is extremely spicy, as if swallowing a flaming fire, the flame spreads down the throat until it burns all over the body.

“You are really… fierce.”

Seeing Gu Shen making a fool of himself, Song Ci couldn’t help laughing.

He took a small sip and said softly: “This cup of wine must be drunk slowly, and it can be finished after being divided into seven or eight times.”

” What kind of wine is this?” Gu Shen felt a heat wave hitting the top of the head.

Song Ci narrowed his eyes, opened the mouth lightly and said: “The name of this wine… is called ‘Lion Awakening’. The sleeping lion wakes up with anger, and after drinking it, he will feel that his body is full of energy. Strength, the name is not important anymore, because Lion Wake stopped production ten years ago, drink a cup less than a cup, I have kept it in Boss for several years, and this is the first time I have taken it out and shared it with others.”

He raised his glass and said softly, “How does the lion wake up?”

The sleepiness of the late night dissipated before a small cup of wine.

Gu Shen felt a strange illusion.

He seems to be examining himself… From a bird’s-eye view, his consciousness is not a little drunk, but extremely sober.

“I feel like I’m finally waking up.”

Gu Shen muttered: “This wine is so good, why was it discontinued?”

“Its It is inaccurate to describe it in terms of discontinued production, because Lion Wake has never been mass-produced.” Song Ci lowered his eyebrows, “Its formula only exists in one person’s mind, and that person died ten years ago. So Lion Wake up, and naturally it doesn’t exist anymore.”

Gu Shen was stunned.

Song Ci took out his tattered wallet, he pinched out a yellowed photo from the inside, said with a smile: “Last time I was really in a hurry to urinate, and I didn’t have time to give it to me when I was escaping the bill. Are you showing off…here, Lao Tzu’s childhood sweetheart, Xiao Lu, is it good?”

The photo has been rubbed with my fingers many times, and it has turned yellow and old to the point that it is about to give birth to pulp.

The girl in the photo has a blurry face, tilts her head slightly, shows a shallow smile, and has a tiger tooth.

Sure enough… Xiaolu is Senior Sister.

Lu Nan Jin.

I can’t believe that Senior Sister, who is usually such a person who doesn’t laugh enough, has such a sweet smile when she was a child.

Gu Shen obediently and honestly said: “It looks good…”

The voice didn’t finish.

“Of course it’s beautiful!” Crow took the photo back with a sigh, and knocked on the table with a show on his face, and said, “Xiao Lu is mine, don’t look at it much!”

Gu Shen laughed and threw the question: “It’s good-looking, but why do I think…she looks a bit like Madam?”

“…they are sisters, biological sisters. “

The crow sighed again and the lion woke up: “Don’t think about it, it’s one thing for me to like Xiao Lu, it’s another thing to work for my wife, there is nothing in between.” My wife brought me out of the old town. I owe my wife too much, and I have nothing to repay, except this terrible life.”

“Bad life?”

Gu Shen glanced at the crow.

Although I don’t know this guy, it must be Peak’s transcender who can be the lady’s bodyguard.

“I owe my wife…and the entire Lu Family.”

Song Ci’s voice was brewing in his throat, and after drinking the lion, his voice was hoarse like a wild one Beast, this is indeed not a wine that can be mass-produced, because every drop of wine contains extraordinary spiritual elements, which will make people mistakenly think that they are sober… until they are drunk and unconscious.

“Oh…how to say?”

Gu Shen is in excellent condition and has not been affected by “Lion Awakening” at all.

He sipped the wine cup with small mouthfuls, just because the wine was so strong that it would choke his throat when he drank it too fast…From start to finish, except for a little hot cheeks, there was no adverse reaction. .

The spiritual elements in alcohol are immersed in his mind, and he is the one who is really suitable for drinking lion sober.

Hundreds of lamps are not drunk.

A thousand cups will not fall.
