Chapter 71 Indulge in the Wine (2/2)
Mo Kun was walking towards the restaurant in the rain of Southern China with an oiled paper umbrella.
She presented pear blossom wine, which was the signature wine in her restaurant, filled two cups for Mo Kun and herself and said, ”I urge you to empty another cup of wine, west of the Yangguan Pass you'll see no more of mine.”
Mo Kun replied with a smile, ”I wrote doggerel about pear blossom wine, and I'll read for your pleasure. Listen, this is my first poem ever! The wine gave me inspiration for writing poetry!”
Long Xi smiled like a flower and said, ”I'm listening!”
Mo Kun started, ”Using thousands of pear flowers I brew the wine; For this way can I dispel the worrying; I could meet my lover's feelings, and she meets mine; How many years shall we stay in this paradise, eight or nine?”
Long Xi lovingly said, ”' For this way can I dispel the worrying' is not in perfect rhythm. How about changing it into 'For this way can I release from the splendor I pine.'” Brother Kun, how many years will you want to stay here? I will go through whatever you go through, no matter eight years or nine years!”
When they were overwhelmed by love, they drank ”cross-cupped wine” from each other's cup and slept while embracing each other.
While Fan Xiaolu, in a state of trance, saw the wisps of smoke rising up from the villagers' chimnies, saw pear flowers all blossomed on the trees, saw pear flowers of a tree blossom overwhelming a begonia, and saw himself becoming a shepherd riding a cattle home and playing pipe...
Xiaolu fully indulged in the atmosphere and thought, ”If I can drink the wine brewed by Long Xi for the rest of my life, how happy shall I be!”
Mr. Xu drunk the wine in one breath while his face looked even more bitter. He thought he could drink away his sorrow, but he never thought that this wine made him feel sadder than before!
Fu Xinjie saw that Mr. Xu looked bitter and remorseful, so she gulped down the wine together with her guilt.
Everyone was boozy and rested in the room.
Long Xi planned to rest for a while, but she did not expect that she slept so deeply. It might be the aftereffect of alcohol.
The wine was luscious in the beginning, while it became strong afterward.
Before falling asleep, she seemed to hear a constant drone above in the sky, as if there were a swarm of bees.
”Xixi, Long Xi!” What a sweet voice...
”En.” Long Xi turned over lazily and slept soundly.
”Xixi, it's almost 12 o'clock, time to get up.” Mo Kun waked up her with his soft voice.
”I'm so tired.” Long Xi turned her body again and got her ears close to the soft cloth, ”the pillow feels comfortable...”
”Be a good girl, honey! Be quick, or you will be late!” Mo Kun sounded like he was waking up his own daughter.
”Let me sleep for a while, just a while...” Long Xi whispered, hoping she could sleep for at least another one minute.
”Xixi, if you don't open your eyes, I'll screw you,” he sniggered.
”Screw me?”
She rubbed her bleary eyes. Then her eyes widened in surprise.
Mo Kun crouched over Long Xi, naked to the waist.
”Brother Kun? Ah...” she was totally awake.
”What has happened?”
At this moment, she was lying on a soft bed covered a white sheet. The surroundings showed that this was a room with medieval European decoration.
