It is said that one day in the third year of Jin Zhangzong, there was an old woman begging for food in front of the pot shop in Runquanyong. I saw that the old woman was also a lot older, thin and small, it was the cold winter and the moon weather, but I saw that the old woman was only wearing a tattered single dress, but when the old woman came closer, I saw that the old woman was sweating profusely.

When everyone saw it, they all thought this old woman was weird. But the old woman is still strange, everyone thinks that the old woman is an old woman begging for food, but when she walked to the front of the pot shop, she found that the old woman did not come in to ask for it, nor did she go elsewhere to ask for it, but stopped in front of the pot shop and did not leave. At night, I simply slept under a short wall next to the store, and I was not afraid of the cold.

When Zhang Jiazu saw it, he was also afraid that he would freeze the old woman to death in front of the pot shop at night and affect the reputation of the pot, so he asked the guy to send her a quilt. Who knows, when the man took the lantern and went to the short wall where the old woman slept, he found that the old woman was not only sleeping soundly, but also sweating profusely, and the quilt was not put on her and went back.

In this way, how many days have passed, and nothing has happened.

In the blink of an eye, after the wax moon, it is the Spring Festival. After the Spring Festival, after the turn of the year, it will be the day of the reopening of the pot. On the day of opening, according to the old rules of the ancestors of the boiling pot in Runquanyong, the best wine burned in the pot over the years must be taken out to worship the ancestors. But when the guy went to the barn to bring wine to worship his ancestors, strange things happened.

I saw a basket of wine that was sealed, but when I opened it, the basket was empty. When I opened other wines, I saw that it was also a well-sealed basket of wine, but the wine inside was gone.

Zhang Jiazu thought that someone had done it, and from then on, he went to the warehouse with one of his closest friends every night to watch secretly. A few days passed without incident. On this day, a dark shadow was found to have entered the barn where the wine was stored. I saw this black shadow enter the barn, first pierced the wine basket with a bamboo pipe, and then aimed at the bamboo pipe and sucked the wine inside.

When Zhang Jiazu and the personal buddy saw each other, they didn't dare to slack off, so they rushed forward and pressed the black shadow to the ground. When the black shadow was pressed to the ground, it turned out that the black shadow was none other than the old woman sleeping under the short wall next to the store.

When he fell to the ground, he found that the old woman was still asleep. But Zhang Jiazu and his close buddies didn't care, so they simply tied the old woman down on a bench in the warehouse, preparing to report to the official early the next morning.

But who would have thought, that night, an even stranger scene happened.

I saw that in the second half of the night, I heard the old woman's stomach suddenly "cooing", as if a pot was boiling. After waiting for a long time, I saw the old woman suddenly open her mouth, and a blood-red creature instantly jumped out of the old woman's mouth, and went straight to the bamboo pipe that was still inserted in the wine basket.

When the old woman's personal companion saw it, he did not know what the blood-red creature was, and hurried to the creature. When the blood-red creature saw someone rushing at it, it jumped straight to the ground, and then disappeared again.

Early the next morning, after the ancestor of the Zhang family heard about this, he only regretted it and stomped his feet again and again. Zhang Jiazu told his personal buddy. What he saw should be nothing else, it is one of the two treasures in the hands of the Yellow Emperor in the legend - "Wine Toad".

This wine toad, also known as the fried wine toad, likes wine very much, and can fry wine, and the wine soaked in the "wine toad" is not only mellow and fragrant, but can prolong life after drinking; Another thing is that as long as the 'wine toad' is invaded in it, the wine will be inexhaustible forever. According to legend, someone once caught this thing from the mouth of a luxury drinker, from the tripe and dog belly that can drink......

Lao Sun thought so. I couldn't help but look at the thin woman, and after looking at it for a long time, my eyes lit up again. He called the guy who had gone to scoop the wine and said this to him. The man nodded, then turned and walked away quickly.

After about a bag of cigarettes, I saw the guy scoop a scoop of wine again. not only scooped a scoop of wine, but also looked behind him, and followed the owner Zhang Shuting. Zhang Shuting obviously knew what was going on. When he came closer, he also looked the thin woman up and down with his eyes.

At this time, I looked at the thin woman, who was originally weak and weak, and then saw the man walking towards him with wine, and saw that her eyes couldn't help but light up, as if she was thirsty, and seemed to have not even thought about it, so she suddenly stood up, and threw herself into the ladle of wine in the man's hand with trembling hands.

Looking at the guy who came with the wine, he saw the thin woman rushing over, and he turned around and handed the scoop to Lao Sun. I saw that Lao Sun took the scoop at the same time, and also used his other arm to make a very powerful gesture to the thin woman not to step forward.

When the thin woman saw it, she became even more anxious. At this time, Lao Sun smiled at the thin woman and said:

"Don't worry, since we brought all the wine, we let you drink it."

After a slight pause, he added:

"However, there are so many people here that it is somewhat indecent for them to see a woman drinking. If you think it is good, why don't you go to our barn where we store it and drink it, because there is good wine for you to drink. ”

said it, and it didn't matter if the thin woman agreed or not, she turned around and left.

When I walked past Zhang Shuting, I saw what Zhang Shuting wanted to say. Lao Sun signaled him to leave it alone.

Sure enough, when she saw Lao Sun walking away with the scoop, the thin woman didn't say a word, and obediently followed him.

When Zhang Shuting saw it, he wanted to speak and stopped.

While speaking, Lao Sun has led the weak and thin woman to the front yard warehouse, and when she entered the warehouse, the thin woman just wanted to take the scoop of wine in Lao Sun's hand, and saw that Lao Sun had poured the scoop of wine into a wooden basin in front of him. When the thin woman saw it, she became even more anxious, and she couldn't help but rush forward, and wanted to drink it when she got to the wooden basin.

At this time, looking at the two men of Shi and Tian, who were in charge of managing the storage in the warehouse, saw Lao Sun and the thin woman coming in, first "slammed" the warehouse door, and then, without waiting for the thin woman to pounce in front of the wooden basin, he used the rope that had been prepared to tie the thin woman's hands and feet, just like tying the old woman in the legend, and tied it down on a bench.

When the thin woman saw it, she became even more anxious, and asked loudly to Lao Sun with some anger:

"If you don't let you drink, why do you tie me up?"

Then he said:

"Let go of me and let me go!"

At this time, I saw Lao Sun rushing to the thin woman to the ground, and then, he told the thin woman the story of the old woman who was circulating in the pot in the early years, and told the thin woman that from her greedy appearance, there might be the legendary baby in her belly, and she hoped that the thin woman would cooperate and take out the baby. At that time, the thin woman will not only no longer be hungry for alcohol, but her body will gradually get better. If you get this treasure on the pot, you will definitely compensate the thin woman with a large sum of silver, so that she will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

When the thin woman heard what happened, although she had a painful expression on her face, she still nodded reluctantly and cooperated.

While talking, three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the two men of Shi and Tian took turns guarding the barn, guarding the thin woman. The thin woman was silent at first, but she couldn't take a sip of food or drink a drop of water. After three days had passed, I suddenly saw the thin woman begin to moan softly in pain, and the "cooing" in her stomach was a little scary, but there was no living creature spit out of the thin woman's mouth.

only scratched the ears and cheeks of an old grandson anxiously, and there was no way at all.

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed quickly. Then he saw that the thin woman was no longer able to scream, and her stomach no longer "cooed", and she lay there motionless as if she was dead.

When Lao Sun saw it, he also began to be a little scared. He went into the barn early in the morning, and when he saw this scene, he was allowed to suffer until noon, and if the thin woman could not spit out any more living creatures, he would give the woman the best wine, and if not, he would send the 'Jishitang' to save the people.

However, the accident happened before noon.
