第五百二十八章 劣马旧车沙雪酒旗(1 / 2)

酒剑四方 凉凉不加班 1572 字 2022-09-20

但凡雪落,言有冬来。

如是夏时未曾见行人短褐,不曾见寻常百姓亦是摇扇避寒,总觉少有滋味,秋时临近,却不曾见萧瑟凉风,未见有人咬秋迎秋放河灯,虽是秋时,但仍不觉秋,冬日迟迟不肯落下雪来,亦难叫人心中踏实。

不过齐陵边关外头的百姓却是并无此般心思,文人风雅,大多落在百姓眼中,仅是衣食无忧过后聊表慰藉的症结,倘若自家亦是有那般闲散银钱,恐怕就算是天上无雪,也可雇上百十名壮汉,备足清盐柳絮,拟雪落地,故而大多是不屑一顾,将多半心力搁置到如何填补家用,规避流寇侵扰上头。

也正是因处在关外,并未迁入城去,一来无城关所阻,流寇若是近来钱粮吃紧,多半要行铤而走险的举动,即便要与城中军卒过招,亦要逼不得已前来劫掠一阵;二来无城关护佑,浩荡西风与冷寂北风,大多要趁虚而入,将家中炭火热气席卷个干干净净,切莫说是茅草当顶的落魄人家,若是炭火柴草添整不及,加之腹内不曾有抵寒肉食,到头来莫说是过上整冬舒坦,就连能否护住性命,不曾冻出个好歹,亦是奢求而已。

今日时节,北风最盛,如是刀剑掀黄沙,将关外零星几家住户门前黄沙残雪,皆尽抖起,敲削旁人面皮,周遭许多上年头的屋舍墙壁,尽是被风沙携卷压砸出的细微坑孔,譬如于黄沙当中做过多年马贼行当的武人匹夫,面皮亦是如此,一如叫积年陈酒所蚀的泥瓦坛罐,其貌不扬,皮相怪诞。

关外住有百姓的十余里地,唯有一家酒馆,平日里生意极差,向来也难见有百姓来此,将压命钱递上,换得壶酒水,大抵谁也耗费不起那等闲钱,除却有由夏松而来的商队旅人,未曾遇险,或是眼瞧着多年兄弟死在贼寇刀下,天不绝寿数,自个儿侥幸逃出条生路,买上二两足以将长刀烫化的烈酒,狠狠痛饮一番。但即便是生意奇差,年头年末,来客都不足双掌之数,这处地角颇偏僻的酒馆,亦是不曾歇业,头些年里小二耐不住风沙寂静,足足六七载光景,竟是都未曾遇着模样俊俏,胸怀广阔的姑娘,当真是难承这等苦熬,银钱月俸都未曾同掌柜讨要,便自个儿逃将出此地,远走齐陵。

可酒馆仍旧是矗立在此,黄沙与戈壁松散沙砾终日如同硬雹飞雪,敲打窗棂,连原本那方齐整酒旗,都已砸得零散,只剩一角悬于枯木上头,勉强尚可瞧出个酒字。

许多身在齐陵关外久住的老者,皆言说此处酒馆,大抵已存半甲子余,天晓得酒馆当中那位沉默寡言,面相奇凶的老张头,究竟是凭甚过活,若要仅凭卖酒水所得,足够饿死百十回。

酒馆掌柜便是这位张姓老者,多年下来,除却那位小二曾在此熬过几回年关,酒馆当中便唯有老者一人,虽说是少言寡语,但时常愿去关外百姓扎堆的地界走动一番,一声不响将倒伏柴草扶起,或是同人搭把手,将木篱替人插得牢固,可从头到尾鲜有开口的时节。即便是旁人道谢,这位老者也并不理会,诸事毕后便自行弓起腰背离去,每回皆是如此,乃至许多关外百姓,极长一阵时日都误以为此人生来聋哑,却是已然记不清究竟是因何事,才发觉这老张头并非不能出言,而是的确言语极寡。

今日有人出关。

劣马旧车,闲庭信步。

许多关外百姓皆是不解,许多人皆是迈出房舍之外,将衣衫裹紧,纳闷看向那方古旧车帐前头驾马的男子,如同打量什么稀罕物,不过仍旧是不敢近前,生怕这位疑有疯疾的行人发起癫来。

毕竟若是并无疯疾,谁人会于这等节骨眼上独自出关。

马车缓缓行至那处极旧的酒馆前头,旋即便是停住,驾车男子倒还算是身子颇轻快,跳下车来,将马匹栓罢,顺手由打车帐后头抽出杆枪来,扛到肩头,撩开破烂布帘,推门而入。

酒馆当中摆设,似是多年不曾改换过,尤其桌案座椅,古旧得紧,还不曾落座便可知落座之后,当有土灰沙砾扑簌而下;油灯落灰,不知积攒过几多层,尚且无人擦拭,屋外风来,松散顶板上头颤动,常有沙尘坠地。

单瞧此景象,怕是当中已有许多年无人久居,哪里似是做开门买卖的地界。绕是男子见过不少寒酸鄙陋的微末地界,如今观瞧,亦是微微蹙起眉来,嘀咕了句白走一趟,而后便欲要起身离去。

“少侠来此,不知有何指教。”屋舍当中,有处小门门帘一挑,走出位腹背佝偻的老人,身形极枯干,且仅是迈出这两步,便引得一阵咳喘,身形越发低矮,迈步入屋。

“店家说笑了,既是来酒馆,定是为饮酒而来,”男子多日不曾去须,瞧着并非少年,此刻听闻老者口中少侠二字,一时笑将起来,随处找寻个座位落座,将手中枪横在桌中,似是随口问道,“老丈孤身在此,想来生意便是极难做,如今齐陵当中商贾成群,再者酒楼极多,何不改换个地界做生意,树挪死人挪活,理应多想想。”

老者似乎并不愿出言太多,淡淡瞥了一眼那位自行落座的男子,取来枚竹舀,而后吃力抱起方酒坛,掀开酒封舀酒,这才沙哑出言。
