It's light, it's too light!

Amber liquor dripped, and a hint of annoyance flashed in his dark eyes. With a crisp cracking sound, the wine jar containing most of the jar of wine was casually dropped to the ground by him, and for a while, the wine that exuded a rich aroma of wine flowed all over the ground.

Tsing Yi, who was busy slicing meat, faintly heard the sound, so he looked up at Dongqiao.

"Little lady, please wait a moment." Dongqiao immediately responded, "I'll go and see the situation." ”

Tsing Yi nodded slightly, and at the same time did not forget to advise: "Be careful, that guest doesn't seem to be a good person." ”

Higashibashi opened the wooden door slightly, and through the narrow crack in the door, he saw Kurosaburo blocking the front with his back to the kitchen. Not far from him stood the three newcomers, who were staring at the ground in a little panic, not knowing what they were looking at.

Dongqiao thought about it and turned around, and saw that the guests around him were looking at the ground with pity on their faces, and some of them couldn't help but stretch out their slightly slender tubular tongues, full of greed.

The faint aroma of wine fluttered, and Dongqiao roughly pieced together some reasons in his heart, so he quietly closed the door, and then whispered: "Probably that guest is not used to drinking the wine of the inn, so he smashed the wine jar." ”

"Unappetizing?" Tsing Yi was very surprised and put down the knife in his hand and said, "No one has ever said that he is not satisfied with the wine brewed by the wine, and this guest is really a little embarrassed." ”

Higashibashi didn't answer, and only opened the oysters in the vat with his hands and feet to get the meat.

Xiuxiu had never seen oysters, so she squatted curiously on the edge of the East Bridge to watch it.

Tsing Yi looked at the half-cut meat slice with great concern, she was a little worried now, what if the guest was picky about the dish?

In the lobby, Hei Saburo was silently watching the gluttony with his hands on his sleeve.

Tao Tao wiped the residual liquid from the corner of his mouth with his fingers, and turned his head to Hei Saburo with a displeased expression: "Is there only this kind of light and tasteless water in your inn?" Bring me some wine! ”

"Of course, there is good wine." Hei Saburo smiled, "But I need the guest officer to wait for two more days, I don't know if the guest officer can wait?" ”

"What a good wine?" Gluttonous stared at the eyes of this black Saburo and said in a deep voice, "What if it's not good wine?" ”

"I've already ordered a batch of good wine with the winemaker, and I will be able to arrive in a few days." Hei Saburo said lightly, "If it's not good wine, you can do what you say." ”

Gluttony looked at Hei Saburo for a long time, and then suddenly smiled: "Very good, since you promised to do so, I will wait for you for two days." ”

With that, he got up and strode away.

Mocking Feng touched his sleeve helplessly, and then shook his head at the broken jar on the ground and said regretfully: "This guy is too wasteful, he is not satisfied with the drink and does not say that he will let me drink, in the end I will pay for it!" Whoa—"

Hei Saburo smiled and stretched out his hand to Mock Wind, Mock Wind pursed his lips, and still handed over the wine money to Hei Saburo.

Hei Saburo casually put the silver into his sleeve, and then said to the little two: "I've watched the door these days, if that guy comes again, come and tell me immediately." ”

"Yes—" The little monsters nodded in response.

The mocking figure that was about to go out was stunned, he hurriedly looked back at Hei Saburo, and when he saw that Hei Saburo was smiling and nodded at him, he had to scratch his cheeks and went out in frustration.

Come on, I didn't succeed and got fishy! I knew that the guy who didn't bring gluttony was coming.

As soon as the gluttony left, the rest of the guests relaxed, and they were a little greedy by the smell of wine, and then they called for wine one after another.

Hei Saburo didn't pay attention to them, the wine cellar was now empty, and what he wanted from Master Gao was the only good wine left in the wine cellar.

The kitchen door made a slight noise, and Higashihashi, who was busy opening oysters, suddenly moved, but he grabbed the knife and rushed to the kitchen door.

After seeing that the person who came was Hei Saburo, he restrained his movements.

"You go and entertain the guests." Hei Saburo's words made Dongqiao dare not relax, but Hei Saburo didn't care, he walked straight towards Tsing Yi, and when he saw Tsing Yi looking at him inquiringly, he smiled and said, "That guy let me go, saying that he would come back in two days." You don't have to prepare. ”

Tsing Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and really dropped the knife according to his words: "I'm worried that the dishes he makes will not suit his appetite, and he is not even satisfied with the wine brewed, which shows how picky his tongue is." ”

"Gluttony is a well-known mouth, and it is normal for him to look down on ordinary food and drink." Hei Saburo comforted, "I've already found a wine brewer to send a new brew, and when this batch of wine arrives, we don't have to worry about it when we come back." ”

Tsing Yi nodded slightly, but there was still some trouble in his heart.

The wine is already there, what should I do with the wine and food?

**

The smell of wine in the forest became thicker and thicker, and most of the people who accompanied him were already drunk, and even the horses that were grazing with their heads bowed were drunk.

Wang Decai, who was hunched over, bit his index knuckle and quietly hid behind Lin Xuyan.

Lin Xuyan clenched the hilt of his sword and forcefully knocked the boiling pot to the ground.

The tumbling locust leaves and soup were all pressed to the ground by the upside-down pot, and the aroma of wine was diminished in vain.

A soldier raised his hand and picked up a handful of locust leaves close to his nose and sniffed carefully, the strong and mellow aroma of wine penetrated through the halogen door, he hurriedly turned his head and calmed down, and then said: "It seems that the problem is in the locust leaves, the smell of wine is pressing." ”

"I've never heard of locust leaves smelling of alcohol." Another soldier was very puzzled and said, "The leaves of the locust tree are coarse and astringent, and there is a bitter taste, if you had known that there was a smell of wine, those craftsmen would not have gone crazy to pick the leaves of the locust tree and make wine!" Don't have a problem with these things, right? ”

"This is already a place of three ways, but wherever the three ways of the inn appear, nothing can be looked at with common sense." Wang Decai said in a dumb voice, "Let's go quickly!" Although there are many more monsters in the inn than here, as long as we follow the rules, we can get out of the way. ”

"What do you say, Chief?" The soldiers looked at him with Lin Xuyan's eyes, and they all looked at him with inquiring eyes.

Between the words of the soldiers, Lin Xuyan had already looked around.

Because the pot had been overturned by him, and the wind was blowing in the woods from time to time, the aroma of wine was almost gone.

"Wake everyone up." Lin Xuyan also felt that it was better to hurry as much as possible, he tied the saber back to his waist, and then leaned over and patted the face of the person next to him and shouted, "Wake up, wake up!" ”

The soldiers began to slap the faces of the others, but they couldn't wake up with their cheeks red.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Xuyan got up again to check the horses, and found that all the horses were the same, drunk to death, except for breathing, there was no reaction at all.

If the horses are all right, then even if the others can't wake up, they can cut off the branches of the locust tree to make a simple trailer, so that they can pull the big guy out in one go. But now that even the horses are drunk, how can that be?

"Chief, it doesn't seem to be possible." The soldiers sighed a little dejectedly, "We can only set off when their strength has passed." ”

"Who knows when they'll wake up?" Wang Decai reacted quite a lot when he heard this, his eyes widened, the muscles on his thin face were twisted, and he looked so scary, "We have to leave immediately!" I know this place too well, it's full of monsters, and as soon as night falls, the beasts will come out, and if you let them lie like this, you'll give them for nothing. ”

"Take a board from the cage and take it down." Lin Xuyan muttered, "Use your sword to chop some fine wood thorns." ”

"Chief, are you going to prick the tips of their fingers with wooden thorns?" The soldiers understood and said, "Let's go and prepare." ”

The living are most afraid of pain, and it is said that ten fingers are connected to the heart, and the pain between the nails and the flesh is even more unbearable. In the past, when they were seriously injured on the battlefield, they often used this trick to refresh themselves so that they could stay awake at all times. This is also the case for prisoners of war. Most of the people who fainted after being tortured would wake up from pain once they had the enemy poke a thin needle into their fingernails.

Because they have experienced such pain to some extent, they know better than anyone how to adjust the angle and strength.

Because the wooden thorns were not as hard as gold objects, they deliberately cut out conical wooden thorns with a sharp tip at the top and a thick bottom at the bottom, and when they pierced the fingers of drunken people, they were especially careful not to break into their flesh halfway.

But to the surprise of Lin Xuyan and the others, although they had already pierced the wooden thorn into two points, they only twitched and showed no signs of waking up.

The soldiers all looked at Lin Xuyan with some panic, and said in a low voice: "This locust leaf is really too powerful, they are completely drunk to death." What now? ”

Lin Xuyan touched their pulses, and said half-loudly: "There is no way, I can only wait first." ”

Then he got up and chopped down a few branches and began to set traps around him.

"It's useless." Wang Decai hugged his body and said coldly, "They won't be fooled, it's just a waste of effort for you to do this." ”

Lin Xuyan's hand to break the branch was first paused, but then resumed his movements.

Seeing this, the soldiers also began to act. They gathered all the drunken and fainted people together, and the horses remained in place, for fear that the horses might trample on other people if they sobered up.

The scorching sun, which had been scolded by them, became a lifesaver for them, and they looked up from time to time to observe the sun, and saw that the sun was steadily setting towards the horizon, and their movements became more and more anxious.

The improvised fence and rope were almost ready, and the soldiers were still uneasy, so they began to dig up the earth again.

If you can put some sharp stakes at the bottom of the deep cave, and then cover the hole with branches, and wait for the beasts to come, although they can't stop them all, they can resist for a while, so that they can get a chance to survive.

But it's easier said than done. Since they didn't have the tools and just used branches to dig in the soil, the progress was a little slow. By the time the sun went down, their first trap had not yet been dug.

The wind in the locust woods became more and more violent, and everyone was so hot that they wanted to take off their clothes during the day, and when night came, they shivered with cold again.

Wang Decai curled up in the crowd of drunken people, relying on their body heat to warm himself.

Lin Xuyan saw that everyone was cold and panicked, so he broke some locust branches. After picking all the leaves, he was still not at ease, so after thinking about it, he still split a few cages, picked out some unused fabrics and put them together, and lit a small bonfire.

There were many dark shadows in the dark locust forest, only the flame danced slightly in the yin wind. Lin Xuyan's hard face looked a little dazed in the flickering firelight, and he subconsciously reached out and touched the narrow scar on his face.

The rustle of the branches made people feel a little empty in his heart, and he sighed, silently closed his eyes and began to sleep.

Then, while everyone was half-asleep and half-awake, the strong aroma of wine spread again in the darkness.
