Chapter 48 A Bowl of Dirty Wine(2/2)
"I didn't believe it at the time. After I drank that glass of wine, I didn't forget what I wanted to forget, and a woman's name was always engraved in my heart..."
The aftertaste of the strong liquor in my mouth has a faint fragrance of black beans, but it lacks a trace of bitter resentment.
Li Xiuyuan sighed softly and said to himself: "For this jar of wine, my brother owed others 10,000 gold coins. Later..."
Thinking back to those days, Li Xiuyuan got drunk after just two drinks in Huamanlou. How could he taste the taste of drunkenness and dreaming?
It wasn't until he met an alcoholic later that he was allowed to taste the bitterness, resentment, and helplessness again.
Looking up at the night sky outside the living room, Li Xiuyuan murmured: "Later, when I met people, I would say that drinking makes you happy, and happiness breeds virtue. But even so, I still don't have the capacity to drink..."

Gao Jianli sighed softly and murmured: "We are born in this world, who is not wandering?"
Xu Fu looked at the red-faced Li Xiuyuan and frowned.
Tell Zhao Meng: "Shopkeeper Li is almost drunk. Please help him go back to the house to rest. We can talk to him tomorrow if we have anything to say."
When I was drunk, I didn't know where I was, and I just thought the Western Region was the Eastern Region.
Back in the house and lying on the bed, Li Xiuyuan thought about his relatives in the Apricot Blossom Valley. Half asleep and half drunk, two lines of tears quietly fell from the corners of his eyes...
