The first glass of wine, the second glass of wine, the third glass of wine...

Ji Deken drank one glass after another and said one name after another.

Lu Yibai knew some of the names of these people, but most of them made him feel strange.

It is also shameful to say that these people who have made great contributions to China, their descendants even know nothing about many of them.

But Ji Deken remembers.

These people may not have extraordinary power. They are just ordinary people, but they are definitely not ordinary.

This gentle man remembers the name of every ordinary and great person in the past century.

Everyone!

He is like the guardian of these hundreds of years, and also like the witness of these hundreds of years.

When Lu Yibai first heard these names, he felt that his blood seemed to be boiling.

It’s strange to say that even though they are just names one after another, why can they give people great encouragement and strength?

He has difficulty expressing it.

But now when I look back at the ten jars of unopened wine behind me, I suddenly feel how precious and heavy these ten jars of wine are.

This may be considered one of the inheritances.

If you think about it carefully, this is already the tenth jar of wine that Ji Deken drank.

Perhaps in the previous jars of wine, he had respected the emperor, the princes, the ordinary men, and the grassroots...

Perhaps I have also respected literati, elegant guests, women, and men...

All these people turned into dust in history, and their names gathered into heavy historical books in China.

Every name should seem to shine like the stars in the night sky.

If they are considered stars in the night sky, then what is Ji Deken?

For some reason, Lu Yibai couldn't help but think of a very short poem.

[From childhood, I've been alone,

Take care of,

Stars of all ages.]

This poem is called "Lonely".

(Note 1)

He suddenly understood why the Night Watch organization regarded [Picture Stars] as a kind of glory.

They are not looking for light in the darkness.

They are burning themselves in the darkness!

In the video, Ji Deken shook the wine jar vigorously, and even tilted the wine jar to the back, pouring out the last drop of wine inside.

"A thousand-year-old brew cannot be wasted a drop, hehe." Ji Deken said to himself.

This old guy looks like he's... drunk too much?

Having said that, with his body, he can get drunk. What ingredients are these ten jars of wine made of?

Ji Deken poured a big cup full. He was swaying and was already a little unstable. Now even if he walked straight, it would be difficult for him.

This is the first time Lu Yibai and Lin Xiaoqi have seen Ji Deken so disobedient. This old guy has an idol burden. Although he is angry in gay, what he values ​​most is his image.

"Who is the last glass of wine?" he murmured to himself.

In the end, he did not say any name, but drank the glass of wine directly.

He is respecting himself.

At this point, the whole jar of thousand-year-old wine has not left a drop.

Ji Deken put down the jar of wine and then moved his face close to the camera.

He seemed to have really drunk too much, otherwise he wouldn't have put his face so close.

For example, when a family takes photos on weekdays, he always hides in the last row, because this will make him look smaller in the camera.

Scheming!

"Xiao Wu, these ten jars of wine are brewed by me, and I will give it to you next." Ji Deken in the video said to the camera.

Then, he stretched out his hand and slowly approached the tablet, as if he was about to close the recording.

Before closing the recording, his index finger paused for a moment, as if he wanted to say something.

Finally, he looked straight at the camera.

The drunk Ji Deken's eyes were still soft, and his tone of speaking was very gentle:

"Sorry, Xiao Wu, it may be a little hard work next."

...

...

The entire video on the tablet ends here.

Lu Yibai slowly lowered the tablet in his hand, and the fragrance was mixed.

This old man who has protected China for thousands of years has really left like this.

Lu Yibai didn't know why he had such a deep love for this land. He only knew that there were not many people in this world who could do the same level as him.

Even with the development of network information technology now, various netizens can be seen on the Internet, some of which are even more unsightly.

Lu Yibai couldn't help but think of his father in this life.

He grew up in a single-parent family in this life, with his father and mother alone, and his father and son always had a good relationship.

Nowadays, many children don’t like to go out with their parents when they grow up. Whether they are shopping, eating or watching movies, young people seem to prefer to be with their companions rather than their families.

But Lu Yibai and his father often go to the cinema to watch movies together, which is a more common entertainment event for the father and son.

Even at home, the father and son often watch dramas together.

In recent years, there have been more and more film and television works with main themes, and most of them are excellent works with top quality.

In terms of word of mouth, most of these works have a lot of reputation, but there are often polarized remarks on the Internet.

Once, when Lu Yibai was browsing Weibo, he saw some bad comments about these film and television works.

That day, my father happened to be by the side. He came over to take a look at him while he had nothing to do, and then he looked like he wanted to speak but stopped.

Seeing that my father wanted to say something and couldn't say it for a long time, Lu Yibai felt a little amused.

"Dad, just say whatever you want, what's there to hesitate."

Lu Yibai thought his father was going to transform into a "troll", and scolded these keyboard warriors on the Internet.

But what he didn't expect was that my father had been holding it in for a long time and finally asked one question:

"Yibai, does it feel embarrassing to many young people nowadays?"

Lu Yibai was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect his father to ask such a question, and he didn't know how to answer it.

My father, Lu Yibai's biological grandfather, was a soldier and a warrior when he was young. My father has always been proud of being the son of a soldier.

He told Lu Yibai seriously:

"It's not embarrassing to patriotism, really."

This scene is still remembered by Lu Yibai.

Ji Deken left ten jars of wine for Lu Yibai, which was equivalent to entrusting the next thousand years of China into his hands.

He walked to the simple coffin under Long Yuan, gently stroked his fingertips, and whispered:

"I will respect you, I will finish drinking."
