Li Xiuyuan looked at her and laughed: "Did you take advantage? It takes a lot of effort to open a wine shop. To be honest, I took advantage of you. Some spiritual stones are nothing more than external possessions."

Li Qiushui was stunned. She didn't expect that Li Xiuyuan was so thoughtful.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but laugh, raised his glass and said, "So, from now on, I will also be a drunken shopkeeper. Before long, this will be the number one winery in the wilderness."

Li Xiuyuan looked at her and smiled: "Then you have to find someone you can trust. If you don't wait for him to run away, where will you cry?"

Li Qiushui looked at him and said seriously: "Isn't there still some time until spring? Why worry? I'll go back and think of a solution."

"I'm afraid that you won't be able to drink in the future. Don't say that I won't care about you then." Li Xiuyuan laughed.

Li Qiushui's eyebrows gradually raised, and he said calmly: "You are the only one who dares to talk to me like this. How about trying it with someone else?"

Li Xiuyuan picked up a piece of beef with soy sauce, looked at her and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that eating soy beef on this snowy day is really unique. How can that guy from Ximen Lone Star taste it?"

Hearing this, Li Qiushui was slightly startled, looked at him and asked: "Since you like that guy, why don't you call him together?"

Thinking of the appearance of the entire family of the City Lord's Mansion and Huangfu Qingmei, Li Xiuyuan replied: "How dare I provoke him? They are members of a large family, and I don't like to socialize."

According to Li Xiuyuan, if he hadn't met by chance here, he wouldn't even want to invite Li Qiushui.

How comfortable is a person? If he wants to drink one more drink, but when he has had enough, he slaps his butt and leaves? There is no need to look at other people’s faces.

Li Qiu Shui looked at him and frowned and said: "You don't like socializing, do you think I am superfluous? I think you are really itchy. No wonder that girl Huangfu Qingmei wants to go against you."

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Even you and me, it's better to meet by chance than to just invite each other. It's not like you don't know my temper, so why bother to make things difficult for me?"

"Is it difficult for you?" Li Qiushui didn't know what he thought of, and said with a strange smile on his face: "How about I find a wife for you and let you taste the taste of Ximen Lone Star, so that you can stay in Ding'an City forever.

inside."

Li Xiuyuan burst into laughter, shook his head and said, "I said, if you don't become extraordinary, you won't think about messy relationships between men and women. Don't you find it uncomfortable?"

Li Qiushui looked at him and shook his head with a smile, and murmured: "I'll see how long you can hold on to what you said. I'll show you."

"It's okay, you can take your time and watch. One day I won't be here, don't miss me... I might wait for decades before I show up." Li Xiuyuan looked at her and said seriously.

"Did you take the wrong medicine today? Or maybe you were so happy that you accepted a student. What you said was so confusing that even ghosts couldn't understand it, right?"

Li Qiushui's voice gradually became lower. He didn't know what he was thinking, and the corners of his eyes gradually became moist.

When Li Xiuyuan saw something bad, he quickly stopped and changed the subject: "Sir, what about the clothes I made later? If I haven't had time to make them, I might as well go up a size. I don't know what day I will suddenly grow."

It’s high.”

In his opinion, this barbaric handicraft was much better than the small town at the foot of Academy Mountain. He had to make more clothes to go back to.

Li Qiu Shui glared at him and said with a smile: "It's early, you are not naked and have no clothes. Just wait until spring blooms tomorrow. When you grow taller, I will make dozens of custom-made items for you."

Now that both she and Li Xiuyuan were in need of spiritual stones, how could she care about making more clothes for him.

Li Xiuyuan sighed and said, "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten that I have a college student who will come over tomorrow to learn piano. Otherwise, why would I have to sleep in?"

After being so busy these days, he never had a day's sleep. Suddenly he didn't want to do anything and just wanted to stay in bed without thinking about anything.

"You have to blame yourself for this. Why did you go to play the piano in front of Youjia? Are you asking for trouble now?"

Li Qiushui looked at him and chuckled.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiuyuan replied shamelessly: "My brewing requires you to find a successor, right? I have to find a successor to return to the piano, don't you think so?"

Li Qiushui was stunned, looked at him and smiled: "You are so thick-skinned."

...

Even in the early morning of winter, Li Xiuyuan did not sleep in as he had wanted to do yesterday.

After getting up early, he finished his morning sword practice, guarded a pot of white porridge, and enjoyed the soy sauce beef he had packed up last night, one bite at a time, and enjoyed his breakfast alone.

It was already past midnight after dinner, and the wooden door of the wine shop was hammered loudly. Li Xiuyuan, who was making a sword in the furnace, knew that his student had come to practice the piano.

Looking at Ximen Xiaoyu walking through the front hall to the backyard, Li Xiuyuan asked: "Now that you understand those principles, can you practice piano at home?"

After saying that, he handed her the copied musical score and walked towards the sword-making platform.

Seeing Li Xiuyuan actually picking up the hammer and making a striking stance, Ximen Xiaoyu was startled, looked at him and asked: "Um, master, aren't you teaching me how to play the piano? Why are you..."

"Don't think about anything." Li Xiuyuan looked at her and said seriously: "You practice your piano, and I will hammer mine... Try not to listen to the sound of my hammering, and think about it yourself in the music score.

"

In his opinion, no matter how windy or rainy you are outside your house, my playing the piano will not be affected. Now, he wants to see if the girl in front of him can do this.

Ximen Xiaoyu looked at him and frowned and said, "You are doing something wrong. How can you practice piano like this?"

Li Xiuyuan was slightly startled, put down the hammer, looked at her, and said seriously: "How about I change the situation, you come and help me forge the iron, and I teach you how to play your own piano without being influenced by others?"

In Li Xiuyuan's view, even though he was standing on the wall of the Great Wall, thousands of troops were charging below.

As long as you want to play the piano, you will naturally not be affected by others.

"Okay, let me try...see if I can't be affected by you." Ximen Xiaoyu said timidly.

"Put your mind on the strings and the music score, and pretend that I don't exist, and that the sound of the iron is just a slightly louder sound of wind and rain... An excellent piano player will naturally not be affected by wind and rain.

The influence of sound, right?”

From Li Xiuyuan's point of view, he worked hard to teach you, his great disciple.

I wish I could teach you all my experiences and insights, but you have to give me a try?

"Just a louder sound of wind and rain?"

Ximen Xiaoyu looked at him and nodded thoughtfully, then sat on the edge of the piano table holding the piano score that Li Xiuyuan gave him, and gently touched the strings with both hands.

"Remember there is nothing outside your heart, you are the only one in this backyard..."

Li Xiuyuan picked up the hammer and started banging without hesitation. The tinkling sound was endless, and he no longer cared about Ximen Xiaoyu who wanted to play the piano.

Ximen Xiaoyu played two notes according to the piano score, and it was like a stream in the mountains that was blocked by a huge distant rock, making a whimpering sound.

I couldn't help but look up at Li Xiuyuan, who was sweating profusely, and saw that the rhythm of his swinging hammer was like playing a piano, with a wonderful rhythm of its own.

With a slight sigh, Ximen Xiaoxi tried twice more, but finally couldn't do it... The girl was so angry that she changed the tune and tried to play to the rhythm of Li Xiuyuan's blacksmithing, and no longer looked at the music score.

song.

Gradually, like running water flowing over the stubborn rocks, or like the breeze blowing over the courtyard wall... At this time, the notes on her strings no longer whimpered like before, but gradually found their own rhythm.

This reminded her of what Li Xiuyuan said yesterday,... Now I see you swinging the hammer, and the sound of my piano has the sound of an iron horse.

Gradually, her piano sound began to repeat a simple rhythm, and then slowly merged into the previously learned piano score, which together with the sound of Li Xiuyuan's hammering, formed a wonderful note.

And it was as if the hammer in Li Xiuyuan's hand had found an outlet like a mountain torrent, and his voice was no longer as heavy as it was at the beginning, but was replaced by the sound of rain searching for bananas.

The ding-ding-dong-dong sound of hammers is like a song of ice and fire that is specially matched with the sound of Ximen Xiaoyu's piano in the wind and snow.

And Ximen Xiaoyu, who had just heard how to play the piano for the first time, was also fascinated by it. He kept playing the piano and played one song after another... Finally, when Li Xiuyuan stopped hammering, the little girl actually followed the music score and played half-baked.

Played it once, Si Wuxie.

To sum it up in one word: thinking without evil.

Li Xiuyuan stopped forging, lit the dry firewood in the stove, and was about to start the day's brewing process.

Li Xiuyuan was washing the vat, washing the rice, and putting the steamer on the steamer. Li Xiuyuan was running smoothly without any intention of stopping. He didn't pay attention to Ximen Xiaoyu who was playing the piano.

It wasn't until a quarter past noon that Li Xiuyuan cooked rice and fried vegetables. He knocked lightly on the edge of the piano table and woke up the dreamer. Then he looked at Li Xiuyuan and was speechless.

He washed his face with a basin of hot water brought by Li Xiuyuan, and felt a hint of coldness on his slightly damp cheeks against the cold wind in the courtyard.

Ximen Xiaoyu sighed with satisfaction, shook his head and said to himself: "That master, it seems that I have understood the method you taught and found the melody I like."

"So, you should have found the true meaning of Qindao. I have to congratulate you. I don't think I was as powerful as you back then... Come and eat."

The fire was out, and the whole yard was filled with the fragrance of brewing. Ximen Xiaoyu couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The two of them were guarding a pot of charcoal fire, and Li Xiuyuan poured half a glass of wine for Ximen Xiaoyu despite the heavy snow and wind.

He looked at her and said with a smile: "You have already mastered the art of piano. The next step is just practice and practice makes perfect. I have nothing more to teach you."

Ximen Xiaoyu looked at him blankly and said, "Is it so fast? I've only been here for two days..."

After saying that, he put a piece of soy beef into his bowl and asked thoughtfully.

Li Xiuyuan looked at her and said quietly: "You have been practicing piano skills for countless years, and you are not a novice who just started playing the piano. You only need to understand one truth for yourself, that's enough."

Ximen Xiaoyu raised his head and said after a long silence: "I want to learn more."

Li Xiuyuan was startled and said hesitantly: "Otherwise...you want to learn blacksmithing from me? This is not something girls do."

"I just want to understand more about the Tao of Qin, and even the principles of cultivation, just like I was sitting here yesterday and broke through." Ximen Xiaoyu looked at him and said seriously.

"Don't you find it troublesome and boring?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"I don't mind it being boring. If I can have epiphanies from time to time on the road of practice, no matter how boring it is, I want to give it a try." Ximen Xiaoyu laughed.

"That's just your fantasy! Are you dreaming?"

"It doesn't hurt to try."

Li Xiuyuan was as happy as he was yesterday. Yesterday, this guy heard the Tao, today he has entered the Tao.

I heard the Tao and entered the Tao in one day. I have never seen such a genius in my life, surpassing all the talented students in the academy.

I'm afraid that my teacher, my wife, didn't have such a stunning talent back then.

"You are really wishful thinking." Li Xiuyuan sighed and said, "Some practitioners cannot listen to the Tao throughout their lives. You can listen to the Tao one day and enter the Tao the next day, but you still want to break through... It is really wishful thinking."
