Chapter 9 [Nine] The White Elite Soldier
The past three days have been very peaceful, every day is to go to class, eat, sleep, of course, Li Junhua found an opportunity to return 2,000 yuan to Nian Xiaoyue.
After the holiday, Li Junhua went back to the dormitory to pick up the luggage that had been packed a long time ago, and hurried to the bus station.
Li Junhua's hometown is in Chuanxindian Village, Dabao Township, PZ City, north of Chengdu, although it is less than 100 kilometers away from Chengdu in a straight line, it is not easy to return home.
He had to take a bus to Pengzhou, then take a minibus to Dabao Township, and then take a motorcycle or a three-wheeled car to the heart shop, and it was not over when he arrived at the entrance of the village, and he had to walk more than 10 kilometers of mountain roads to his home in the depths of the mountains and forests.
Li Junhua set off in the afternoon, and after a long journey, it was completely dark when he arrived home.
He pushed the door and went in, and saw that there was no electric light in the house, only a faint light came from the kitchen, and when he walked into the kitchen, he saw that his grandfather was busy cooking.
Grandpa wears a blue production team uniform, his gray hair and fine lines on his forehead and face are particularly conspicuous by the firelight, and he wears a pair of homemade straw sandals on his feet.
"Xiaohua is back! ha. Seeing Li Junhua come home, his grandfather looked very happy, "If you are thirsty, drink some water first, grandpa will cook immediately!"
Grandpa happily poured a bowl of water for Li Junhua and was busy cooking again.
Li Junhua hurriedly said: "Grandpa, why don't you turn on the lights at night, what if you fall?"
Although his village is remote, it has already been connected to electricity, and he usually turns on the lights at night when he is at home, but I don't know why his grandfather doesn't turn on the lights today.
Grandpa smiled and said, "I'm cooking, there is a fire, I can see it, I can see it." ”
Although there is electricity, there are no electrical appliances for cooking, and cooking is still in the most primitive way. This situation is common in areas with mountains and forests, because firewood can be collected all year round, which is a gift from nature, and electricity is billed.
Li Junhua's nose immediately soured when he heard this, grandpa really couldn't save anymore for this family.
However, the light of the firewood was too dim, and he turned on the electric light, which was the kind of light bulb that emitted a yellow light that was not too bright.
……
Soon, several farm dishes were ready, and Li Junhua felt extremely delicious as he ate the meal.
While eating, Li Junhua casually asked his grandfather the question he wanted to ask.
Hearing Li Junhua's question, Grandpa's face instantly became serious, he hurriedly walked to the door, looked around, then bolted the door tightly, returned to the table and asked with concern: "Have you drunk?" Didn't you say that you are not allowed to drink?"
After speaking, he sighed again, and then asked, "How do you react after drinking?"
Seeing such a big reaction from his grandfather, Li Junhua knew in his heart that his grandfather must know something, and hurriedly told him everything that had happened.
"What kind of wine are you drinking?"
"Baijiu, about 50 degrees. ”
"You kid, you dare to drink at such a high level?!
Since he was a child, he had never seen his grandfather get so angry, Li Junhua realized that he might have made a big mistake, and lowered his head in shame.
"Hey, I blame me for not making it clear to you," Grandpa sighed again, "I didn't tell you the reason before, but you weren't allowed to drink because I was afraid that you would cause trouble when you were young." Now that you have grown up, Xiaohua, there are some things that should be told to you. ”
After a pause, Grandpa continued: "I'll tell you a story first, have you read the Three Kingdoms?"
"I've read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" a long time ago, and I've read all the four famous novels. Li Junhua said with some pride.
"Then do you know the white squirt?"
"White cat, who is the white cat?" Li Junhua really couldn't remember who was called a white cat in the Three Kingdoms.
"Hehehe," Grandpa smiled kindly, "It's not a white cat, it's a white cat." The ancestor Liu Bei knew that this Bai Wei was an elite soldier under him, and its commander was named Chen Zhi. ”
Li Junhua said that he was still not impressed. In fact, this can't be blamed on him, Chen Zhi has almost no record in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and it is only recorded in detail in the official history (such as "Three Kingdoms"), and the evaluation is very high.
Grandpa continued: "Back then, Liu Bei raised troops to attack Wu in order to report Guan Yu's revenge, but he was unexpectedly defeated by Lu Xun, and was chased and killed by tens of thousands of enemy troops on the way to retreat. Fortunately, with the desperate escort of Bai Wei's elite army, he was able to retreat with his whole body. The number of Bai Wei is actually not much, but there are only a few hundred, but they have resisted the tens of thousands of troops of Eastern Wu, think about it, why is this?"
Tens of thousands of people can't beat hundreds of people, and the disparity in strength is almost 100:1, this is no longer a problem that can be solved by strong willpower, Li Junhua thought for a while, "Could it be that they have taken some kind of miracle medicine?"
"Almost, to be precise, they have taken a certain pill early in the morning, and the medicinal properties of this pill have existed in their bodies for a long time, and even pass it on to their offspring! This kind of thing, it's wine!"
Li Junhua had already opened his mouth wide when he heard this, relieved his nerves, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that I have something to do with this Chen Zhi?"
"Yes, we are all descendants of Chen Zhi! Although it has been more than 1,800 years, this medicinal property still exists, passed down from generation to generation! As long as you drink alcohol, your body will be as solid as a rock, and your strength will be infinite, and it will last for a day. ”
Li Junhua was already stunned, "Then our surname was originally Chen?"
"Hehehe, silly boy, I have already changed my surname to Li. My grandfather changed his surname to Li when he was young, and it is said that he was hiding from the enemy. ”
After listening to his grandfather's description, Li Junhua guessed that the pills taken by the white eyes should be similar to a biological product, which will form certain proteins or enzymes in the body, which can greatly stimulate the body's potential and form super combat effectiveness under the stimulation of alcohol, and these proteins or enzymes can also be passed on to the next generation. It's just that the ancients didn't understand this, so they had to explain it with "medicinal properties".
Now the question is the side effects of this elixir, Li Junhua raised this question to his grandfather.
"As long as you don't drink alcohol, there are no side effects and no discomfort in your body. According to my grandfather, this elixir was refined by Zhuge Liang and used to greatly improve the combat ability of the Guards to protect the monarch, and Bai Wei was the most elite Guards under Liu Bei. With Zhuge Liang's wisdom and loyalty, he will definitely strive for excellence in this matter, if it is only to injure the enemy by a thousand and lose eight hundred, it will be meaningless. ”
Li Junhua thought about it and felt reasonable.
"However, since this is to force the increase of strength by stimulating one's own essence, there must be a limit to the use of it. According to the rules handed down by the ancestors, alcohol should be drunk at most once a month and up to 12 times a year. Otherwise, the longevity of the yang will be shortened, the premature aging will be premature, and the meridians will be broken, the limbs will be paralyzed, and even the life will not be guaranteed! Xiaohua, you must remember this!"
"Eun, I remember. This kind of thing is not a joke, Li Junhua hurriedly agreed.
Now all the doubts have been solved, it turns out that this is the "legacy" left by his ancestors, fortunately there are no big side effects, but you can't drink at will. Li Junhua himself is not interested in wine, so it has little effect on him.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Junhua thought of it again, since Bai Wei drank to fight, he should have a clear consciousness, otherwise if he fought like himself, I am afraid that Liu Bei would die if he could not retreat from White Emperor City.
Hurriedly asked this question to his grandfather, and his grandfather said: "This is exactly what I want to say, you can't drink high alcohol, you can only drink low alcohol." Legend has it that in the Yuan Dynasty, there was an ancestor of our family who drank about a pound of soju, launched a madness, killed and injured seven or eight people, including his relatives, and was later arrested and beheaded by the government. Probably because the high alcohol is too strong, it will hurt the mind and go crazy, so the ancestors later added a taboo to the taboo: do not drink high alcohol!"
Li Junhua nodded, he understood that the process of drinking alcohol was actually equivalent to a complex chemical reaction in his body, and wine was equivalent to a reagent, which caused different chemical changes due to the different concentrations of reagents.
"Then why didn't you find out about this until the Yuan Dynasty, hasn't anyone drunk high-grade wine before?"
"Silly boy, there was no high alcohol at all before the Yuan Dynasty. The distilled liquor process only emerged from the Yuan Dynasty. ”
Li Junhua was a little surprised, his grandfather, who usually doesn't drink alcohol, actually knows so much about wine culture.
"It's not early today, let's rest first. Tomorrow Grandpa will show you how. Tomorrow morning, you go to the countryside to buy three catties of rice wine. After that, Grandpa washed up.
Li Junhua was a little excited, what did the "unique skills" of his family look like, he fell asleep very late.
