Chapter 92
Li Bai's words instantly ignited the passion of the tourists. Some of them immediately pulled their friends or family members to form a team. When other people who were alone saw this, they did not want to be outdone and pulled people around them to form a team.
Yin Lingyue also formed a team, and the person who pulled her was a beautiful young lady.
She was accompanied by a man and a woman, who seemed to be her friends. Since Yin Lingyue was the first person to be given a name by Li Bai, the three of them took the initiative to invite her.
These three people are Qi Congjia, Pan Meng and Sun Fei.
It's funny to say that Qi Congjia had originally agreed with her bestie not to play with Sun Fei, but she didn't expect that since she got her contact information, Sun Fei would send her cute emoticons every day. Even the day before coming to the park, the man specifically asked her what time and where to meet the next day.
This level of clinginess really scared Qi Congjia, but she felt it would be impolite not to reply, so she had to bite the bullet and reply briefly.
The result is what it is now. Under the meaningful expression of the best friend, the three of them walked around Chang'an City together for several hours, and finally formed a team automatically because of the activity.
Qi Congjia was used to being the boss. She quickly organized the remaining three people in the team and decisively threw the most tiring work to Sun Fei, asking him to find other poets. She and her bestie went to buy some wine, leaving Yin Lingyue behind to continue grinding ink for Li Bai.
Yin Lingyue has collected two poems so far, but the activity progress is still 0, which means that she has not yet fully unlocked Li Bai's poems.
She also wanted to know how many poems the poet had left, so she agreed immediately.
The four of them had made the decision before the other teams had even discussed it, and became the first group to leave the yard. However, what they didn't expect was that as soon as they stepped out of the yard, except for Yin Lingyue who stayed in the yard, the other three were stunned.
The deserted Chang'an City when I first entered seemed to have changed its appearance now. The streets were bustling with people, various small stalls appeared on both sides, and countless people in ancient costumes were walking on the streets.
The shouts of vendors at the stalls, the laughter of children, the scolding of parents, all of these seem to be creating an atmosphere.
The peaceful city of Chang'an suddenly had a hint of worldly life.
The city, which seemed a little unreal at first, suddenly became solid.
It was as if they had truly traveled to the territory of their ancestors and were now surrounded by countless ancestors.
Although this sounds funny, this is how they feel in their hearts now.
"This is?"
Sun Fei was stunned, his mouth hanging open.
Not to mention him, Qi Congjia and Pan Meng are not much better.
"Oh my god, this feels like a time travel. Are we coming to the real Chang'an City?" Pan Meng was also surprised.
Qi Congjia also recovered from her shock. She looked around, then lowered her head, tugging at the corner of her clothes in disgust. "The three of us seem a little out of place."
What she meant was very clear, and the two of them understood it immediately.
The three of them were wearing very modern clothes. It was fine when they were with other tourists, but once they stood on the street, they couldn't blend in with their surroundings.
Moreover, Qi Congjia felt a little eager when he saw the costumes of these ancient people.
This light yellow dress is beautiful, and this sky blue one is also good. Wow, that hair accessory is so beautiful, with beads hanging down...
Seeing so many beautiful clothes, Qi Congjia was simply overjoyed.
No, she still has a mission to do.
Restraining the thoughts in their minds, the three men split into two groups, one to look for the poet and the other to buy wine.
However, right at the beginning, the three of them discovered a tricky problem.
They can no longer enter other people's houses at will.
Because every house has an owner, Sun Fei just walked into one at random. As soon as he entered, he didn't expect that there was an old lady inside who picked up a long stick and drove him away.
The old lady was quite strong and he was hit by several sticks, which made him grimace in pain.
That’s not all. As soon as he was beaten out, he heard the old people on the street pointing and talking about him.
"I see this guy is wearing strange clothes and trying to sneak into someone else's house. Tsk tsk tsk, people are really not as good as they used to be."
"It's okay. I've already reported it to the police. They'll be here soon to catch this little thief. I want to see where he runs."
…
Hearing the conversation between the two people next to him, although he didn't quite understand what they said about reporting to the police, he was not a fool, and the little thief behind him heard it clearly.
Bad things happened one after another, and suddenly the sound of heavy and unified footsteps came from the distance.
The voice came before the person arrived, "Who reported to the police that there are thieves here?"
After hearing this, Sun Fei stopped pretending to be bad. He quickly got up from the ground and ran into the alley.
The scene on the street quickly receded, and the next second after he ran away, a sharp soprano voice suddenly rang out.
"Catch that thief! He's running away."
There was a flurry of hurried footsteps behind him. This was the first time that Sun Fei was mistaken for a thief. He felt extremely ashamed, and his face felt like it was on fire.
It's never been so embarrassing.
I guess the process on his side was tortuous, but Qi Congjia and Pan Meng had a much smoother process.
The main reason was that there were people selling alcohol at street stalls, and they saw the wine jars not long after they walked in.
At first, both of them thought that the jar was just a decorative ornament and were about to pass by the stall, but they were stopped by the lady who was setting up the stall.
"Girls, do you want to buy a bar?" The old lady looked at them with a smile.
The two men stopped and looked at the old lady with some curiosity.
Not knowing what to address them, they could only offer their softest smiles.
"How do you know?"
Aunt Xu groaned and winked, "I saw you all came out of Lord Li's house. I guess you all wanted to ask for his poems. But Lord Li loves drinking most of all. If we can't buy the wine he wants, it will be difficult."
As one of the small vendors who survived on this street, Aunt Xu naturally knew the personalities of many adults in the mansion.
She picked up the opened jar of wine in front of her and scooped a spoonful into the bowl beside her.
The water in the bowl is very clear.
"My sake is truly one of the best in Chang'an. Lord Li loves it most for its clarity alone. With this amount, you can take it back for him to taste. Not only will Lord Li be captivated by this bowl of sake, but even the gods from heaven will descend to the land and fall in love with it."
She held up five fingers and spoke with such excitement that she talked incessantly, which made the two inexperienced people interested.
Pan Meng touched the wine jar next to him. One wine jar cost about 50 star coins.
This was not very expensive for them. They initially thought that this jar would cost 500 star coins.
Qi Congjia immediately said cheerfully: "Okay, then we'll have one jar."
A virtual panel popped up, and she paid the 50 copper coins very readily. The next second, a string of copper coins suddenly appeared on Aunt Xu's desk.
The old lady's face lit up instantly. She counted the copper coins and found that none were missing. Then she gave them the largest jar of wine.
"Here you go, girls," she said with a smile.
She let go of her strength, and Qi Congjia's hands, which had taken the wine jar, suddenly felt heavy, and both hands could hardly hold it. Fortunately, Pan Meng, who was standing next to him, saw that something was wrong and quickly pulled the wine jar from under. Only then were the two of them able to lift the wine jar.
"So heavy?" Qi Congjia was surprised and looked at Aunt Xu with admiration in his eyes.
The two of them carried it back with great effort. Fortunately, it was only a few steps away. When they returned, the other teams slowly came out.
Seeing the two men holding a strange jar in their hands, the tourists just took a curious look and then looked away, completely unaware that the jar was full of wine.
When they returned to the yard, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Yin Lingyue had sharp eyes and saw them immediately.
Her eyes lit up instantly, and she lowered her head and said something to Li Bai. Li Bai nodded at her and came over skipping.
"Sister Qi, Sister Pan, you're back." She greeted them first, then immediately noticed the jars in front of them. She asked in confusion, "What's this? Wine? Is it in here?"
The two were panting and nodded slightly when they heard this.
Qi Congjia said weakly, "It's real. It's in here. I was worried that I wouldn't have a bowl, so I bought one from that lady."
As she spoke, she took out something from her pocket, a very rough ceramic bowl with cracks on the sides.
Qi Congjia said proudly, "This only cost 55 star coins in total. I'm really good at making money."
Looking at the bowl and then at the wine jar covered with mud, Yin Lingyue was silent for a long time, but finally couldn't help it.
She said tactfully, "Well, I don't know why, but this wine jar looks quite ordinary. It must be my illusion."
"Just average? It looks okay to me." Pan Meng thought this jar was pretty good and very heavy.
Qi Congjia next to him also nodded.
I can only say that the two of them are worthy of being best friends, their train of thought are surprisingly consistent.
Yin Lingyue didn't say much. She just silently opened the jar of wine. The moment it was opened, a strange aroma wafted out.
Having never smelled such a smell before, Yin Lingyue took a deep breath and even felt that the smell seemed a bit pleasant.
The aroma was not strong and was faint when it spread out. The wine jar tilted slightly and the wine inside fell into the bowl.
She held the bowl of wine and returned to Li Bai's side.
As soon as he got close, Li Bai, who was originally dozing with his eyes closed, twitched his nose slightly and immediately opened his eyes. After searching for a while, his eyes quickly fell on Yin Lingyue's hand.
"Hmm? Why do I smell alcohol?"
Yin Lingyue looked at him in astonishment and nodded slightly, "This is the wine our team bought. Do you think it suits your taste?"
Li Bai could hardly wait to take the wine bowl, not caring how rough the material of the bowl was. He was so anxious that he tilted his head back and drank it in one gulp.
The familiar smell permeated his body, and he poured another cup to Yin Lingyue.
After pouring one cup after another, Yin Lingyue's hands were sore, and he shouted in satisfaction.
"That's refreshing." He laughed heartily, his chest vibrating and his breath smelling of alcohol.
Qi Congjia, who was standing by, immediately asked with concern, "How does this wine taste?"
Seeing how happily the great poet drank, she must be feeling pretty good about herself.
Li Bai glanced at her, thought for a moment, and finally said honestly: "To be honest, it's not very good, but the good thing is that this is my first time drinking it today, so it's just passable."
Just barely enough!
The last sentence seemed to echo in her mind, playing over and over again. Yin Lingyue clearly saw Qi Congjia's body petrified in an instant.
"Is my vision so bad?" she muttered to herself absentmindedly.
You only understand now, my sister, Yin Lingyue shouted silently in her heart.
However, perhaps because Yin Lingyue was in the team, and they were fast enough, the great poet generously wrote another poem for them.
As he wrote, Yin Lingyue read out each word.
"Drinking Song." She read the title.
As soon as the sound came out, the noisy surroundings suddenly became quiet.
"Have you not seen that the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns?" As soon as I read the beginning, a heroic atmosphere hit me.
Realizing something, everyone held their breath again.
She read again: "Have you not seen the white hair in the mirror in the hall, which was black in the morning and turned to snow in the evening?"
Everyone was instantly shocked. What a powerful poem!
“When life is good, enjoy it to the fullest…”
She recited word by word until the last sentence. When the word fell, the poem was completed and everyone fell silent.
