Chapter 122: Winter Night A banquet hosted by more than 30 of Enzo's best-connected families to welcome him home lasted from noon to dusk.
In a small place like Wrighttown, it is naturally impossible to have such a lavish banquet as Dunerke, but the food and wine are very good.
Home-raised chickens and ducks, home-raised white geese, home-raised old sheep and old cows, as well as all kinds of cellar vegetables and fruits taken out of the cellar, pure rural pastoral flavor.
Although it is not sprinkled with all kinds of expensive spices like those delicacies in Dunerke, it highlights the original aroma of these authentic local ingredients, which makes Lin Qi enjoy eating it greatly.
In addition, there is the rice wine made by these farmers themselves, which is not mixed with anything else, and is made purely from grain.
It is not mixed with any herbs that enhance physical strength, there are no flowers that can beautify and nourish the skin, and there are no strange biological organs that can make men flourish, it is pure food wine.
Honest and pure, Lin Qi drank very happily.
There are also those simple but generous country girls, their enthusiasm has also infected Lin Qi, he drank wine, ate meat, and danced with these girls song after song, this is the first time in Lin Qi's life to indulge in such a dance.
In the imperial capital, he did not have the opportunity to attend the ball, and in Dunerke, no young girl who knew Lin Qi would have the courage to dance with him.
So today, Lin Qi danced with thirty-five young and simple girls, which was the first time in his life that he danced with the girls.
Then, while he was drunk, Lin Qi wrestled and frolicked with the forty-six sturdy country boys, and he unceremoniously threw all the forty-five young men into the snowdrift.
Lin Qi's bravery was unanimously praised by everyone, this is a good young man who is generous, polite and capable at the same time And in the end, there was only one question left in Lin Qi's mind: why are there so many girls, so many young people, and so many children in more than 20 families.
Could it be that the people in Wright Town are so good at giving birth to Lin Qi, who finally got drunk, kept muttering: "It's strange, why do they have so many children, if there are so many children in our family, it will be so interesting" It was a welcome feast for everyone to disperse, and the gifts that Enzo had brought back were all good things for the people of the countryside, especially the five shiny silver coins, which would have helped them a lot.
In the midst of laughter, Enzo and Linzi were sent back to Enzo's ancestral home, where a neighbor brought a quilt and a variety of things, and the fireplace was burned, and then many neighbors left laughing.
Perhaps because of several drunken training sessions in Dunerke, Lin Qi woke up quickly this time.
After drinking a large pot of cold water, Lin Qi shivered a few times and slowly recovered his spirits.
He looked around at Enzo's ancestral home, a dilapidated two-story building with a large hall and a kitchen and dining room, where Enzo was vigorously wiping down furniture that hadn't been cleaned for an unknown amount of time.
The second floor is where Lin Qi lies, which is divided into two rooms, each with simple furnishings, just a bed and a few tables and chairs.
Only on the east wall of the first floor was a fireplace with a crackling firewood in it, but the fireplace had obviously not burned for a long time, and the light of the fire did not bring any heat to the house.
Lin Qi felt cold all around him when he was lying on the bed, and he didn't know where there was a gap in the wall, and the cold wind was constantly blowing into the room.
The ancestral home of the Enzo family was even colder than Linzi's bachelor dormitory.
Shaking his head, putting on the bearskin coat covering his body, Lin Qi staggered down the stairs to the first floor, frowned and asked Enzo: "Enzo, you are alone in your family, don't you have any other brothers and sisters, I look at those uncles and aunts in your neighborhood, they have a lot of children?"
Enzo, who was trying to wipe a large wardrobe, rolled his eyes, he dropped the rag and straightened up, and scolded in a low voice: "Where do you think this is here, this is not the imperial capital, and it is not Dunerke."
There's no entertainment in Wright Town at night, everyone can only do it.
"Trying to have children" Lin Qi spread his hands and said very sincerely: "So I'm very strange, why don't you have brothers and sisters?"
Enzo was silent for a while, shook his head, and said, "There is a younger brother and a younger sister who have been eaten. ” As he spoke, Enzo's eyes flashed with a bloody light that made Lin Qi shudder, it was a bloody light that was extremely hateful and resentful.
He whispered, "I never told you that I have a younger brother and a younger sister, and I saw them eaten by a werewolf who gouged out their hearts. ” Shrugging his shoulders, Enzo said indifferently: "So, I must join the army, and when I have enough power in my hands, I will kill those werewolves, those filthy orcs."
But now, I'm going to try to learn the things that keep me alive in the army, kill the enemy, you know. ” "Is this so" Lin Qi looked at Enzo quietly, and after a long time, he nodded slowly: "Then, when you want to kill orcs in the future, I, along with all our brothers, will help you." ” Enzo pursed his lips and smiled, and when he smiled, his lips were like two sharp scimitars, revealing a sharp aura that made people chill from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing that Enzo was busy with the ball, Lin Qi was embarrassed to stand on the sidelines and watch, he took off his coat, took the basin and rag, and helped Enzo wipe down his family's old clothes.
The two of them are very serious and attentive, inside and out, wiping these old wooden objects that are at least more than 100 years old.
The two of them were silent, but Lin Qi knew how many warm memories Enzo had left in these things.
This is his brother's ancestral home, although Lin Qi has never done any housework since he was a child, but he still does it very carefully, anyway, he does not lack this strength.
Although these things were not worth a gold coin combined, Lin Qi knew that these things were priceless in Enzo's heart.
In the dim light, the two men vigorously wiped down the old furniture and farm tools, keeping them as good as new.
The firewood crackled in the fireplace, and finally a faint heat began to swirl around the house.
It seemed to be snowing again outside, and the cold wind swept the snow on the small building, but it could not dispel the bleak warmth in the building.
Many years later, Lin Qi always remembered that one winter night, he was in the ancestral house of his best brother, helping him wipe all kinds of utensils, and he was busy all night.
It was the easiest time in Lin Qi's life
