Chapter 92: The Drunkard Who Drilled the Dog's Hole
She was about to say something when two large flasks were thrown in from outside the dog's hole, and then the man fell down on his stomach, his forearms supporting his body inch by inch, and his movements were neat, and he looked extremely skillful.
It wasn't until both legs got in that he jumped up and squatted on both legs, jumped up at once, hung the flask back around his neck, and patted the gray music on his body and looked at Fu Yingran.
"What are you doing here, trapped in a maze?"
Fu Yingran was shocked again, this person actually knew that there was a maze here?
"Are the walls here so thin that you punch them through?"
Fu Yiran approached the dog hole to observe, the inside of the red wall is made of bricks, and the outside is painted with a layer of wall plaster, which is very thick and not so easy to penetrate.
Isn't this old man a hidden martial arts master?
Thinking like this, Fu Yingran's gaze became inquisitive and curious when he looked at the old man again.
blackmailed her two large pots of wine in the wine shop, and met again in this strange maze a few hours later.
I met twice a day, but it was really like what he said.
Old man Lai cut disapprovingly, and stepped directly on a broken brick on the ground, and without seeing how hard he used, the brick broke into several pieces.
"The bricks here are so soft that they can be broken by just one person."
Curious, Fu Yiran squatted down and tried it, and sure enough, with his cotton-like fist, he broke the bricks into several pieces.
She tried again at the crack at the edge of the dog's hole, and with a punch, the joint almost broke, and she gasped in pain.
Old man Lai stroked his gray goat's whiskers and laughed gloatingly.
Fu Yingran's cheeks were slightly red, but she also understood the trick.
Only the one in the dog hole is a soft brick that is easy to break, and the rest of the place is still a solid hard brick.
It's just that why does Peach Blossom Spring Village leave such a loophole in the red wall?
What's more, how did this old man Lai know about such an important matter?
If this is known by thieves, Peach Blossom Spring Village will not be monolithic.
"How do you know here? Who are you, sneaking into Zhuangzi and not afraid of being caught? β
Old man Lai complained and sighed, "These questions are really boring, find something interesting, go, and drink with me." β
As he spoke, he grabbed Fu Yingran's wrist and strode in one direction, his chic steps as familiar and casual as if he were at home.
Fu Yiran trotted to keep up with him, shouting, "Wait, waitβ"
He looked a lot older, his hair and beard were gray, he still walked so fast, and his body was really tough.
"You even know how to break the maze?"
Old man Lai stroked his beard and cocked the corners of his mouth, his expression a little proud.
"Just follow me." β
Fu Yiran followed him step by step, looking at his white hair casually tied behind his head with a wooden hairpin, and a few strands of fine short hair fluttering messily, but it gave people a free and easy feeling.
As she walked, the scenery in front of her became unfamiliar, and Fu Yiran knew that she should have come out of the maze, but she didn't notice how she came out.
Old man Lai continued to walk forward with a clear goal and brisk steps, and he had never encountered anyone along the road.
"Where is this going?"
Fu Yiran observed the environment, as strange as ever, only knowing that it was generally in the direction of the north, contrary to the direction of the gate of the spring village.
"I said I was looking for a drink. According to my reliable information, the first jar of new wine in Muqu Wine was bought by Peach Blossom Spring Village, and I must drink it today. β
Voices kept coming from the courtyard in front of her, and Old Man Lai made a silent gesture to her, leading her through a remote corner door with a rusty lock.
Old man Lai obviously knew the layout of the courtyard very well, avoided everyone's eyes and ears, and successfully found the darkroom where the wine was stored.
When he took out the key to the door lock of the darkroom, Fu Yingran couldn't help but hold his forehead, and suddenly felt like he was playing a thief game with his child.
Old man Lai happily explained, "I have been here before and have experience. β
Fu Yingran pursed her lips, "It's not just experience. β
Almost all of them have found out the peach blossom spring village, the keys are ready, and I am afraid that this place will not be less.
Click-
The door was locked, and the old man Lai couldn't wait to get in, sniffing one jar after another in the dense hundreds of wine jars.
The nose of the intoxication shrank and shrank, and the light of excitement was written in his eyes, which was extraordinarily bright in this dark dark room.
Fu Yiran glanced out of the door, closed the door from the inside, and sat down on a long desk with a corner missing.
Before his ass was sturdy, Old Man Lai was already running over happily with a wine jar the size of a flower pot, and his mouth continued to overflow with cheerful laughter.
The corners of his mouth and eyes were upturned together, squeezing out deep ravines, and his cheeks were flushed with excitement.
"Good things, really good things, it's the right thing today, otherwise I'm afraid I'll regret it for the rest of my life."
He sat down on the long table with his ass, and opened the jar as he spoke, and took a sip of booze.
"Cool! Violent! Wonderful! β
With three exclamations in a row, he wiped his sleeve to his mouth, and directly stuffed the wine jar into Fu Yingran's arms.
"You taste it too."
Fu Yingran looked at his bold and happy appearance, he was already thirsty, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
But she didn't dare to drink, and she was determined to show off her appearance.
"I don't need to. Then you drink slowly here, I'll go first, I still have something to do. β
She still has to go to the Takeshi to find rescuers, and she can't stay any longer.
When Old Man Lai heard this, he immediately exclaimed, "No, how can you leave me here alone, you have to accompany me." β
As he spoke, he grabbed her sleeve and pulled it hard, and Fu Yingran turned around twice directly, and sat back on the long table.
And the gold-inlaid blood jade bracelet on her wrist was pulled out by him at some point, and she held it up in front of her eyes to admire it back and forth.
"It's as beautiful as blood, it's so beautifulβ"
Old man Lai was amazed, and there seemed to be a look of nostalgia lingering in his eyes.
Fu Yingran intuitively felt that she was dazzled, and reached out to grab it, "Give it back to me, it's my mother's relic." β
But her forward body suddenly stopped, her pupils dilated slightly, her nose stirred, and she sniffed hard in the air.
It's that strange aroma, and I smell it again!
She breathed deeply, unsurely, as the aroma grew stronger and stronger, and it was hard to ignore.
The aroma came suddenly, and once again she was sure that it emanated from her.
The first few times it was either because of drunkenness or emotional ups and downs, but why today?
"Give it back, look at your treasure."
Old man Lai neatly put the gold-inlaid blood jade bracelet back on her wrist.
The intoxicating aroma dissipated suddenly.
He lowered his eyes and stared at his wrist.
Could it be because of this blood jade bracelet?
Old man Lai looked at her in a daze, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and suddenly snapped his fingers in front of her to recall her thoughts, and then ordered the previous topic with a dead face.
"I am the one who brought you out of the labyrinth, and you must not be ungrateful, but must follow me until I go out safely. If I am caught, you can save me. β
Hehe.
When Fu Yingran heard this, his mouth twitched, and he slandered in his heart, how could he be arrested based on his familiarity with Peach Blossom Spring Village.
"Drinking and listening to music is like a fairy. You come up with a tune to help the fun. β
Old man Lai said that he took out a few packets of appetizers out of nowhere, salt peanuts, crispy peas, and boiled edamame.
He hung down on one leg, stepped on the long table with one leg propped up, leaned his back against the wall, took a sip of Muqu wine, took a sip of salt peanuts, and waited for her to sing and help the wine with a smile.
Fu Yingran suddenly shook her head, and a sense of intimacy rose inexplicably in her heart, and this scene seemed familiar.
She really came prepared, she would really believe that he was here to steal wine and drink.
The ghost sang in a low voice, with a soft and clear voice, and a warm and long tune, which was a simple fisherman's tune.
After she sang most of the song, she suddenly came back to her senses, and her singing was interrupted suddenly.
How could she sing this fisherman's tune, when did she hear it, and why didn't she remember?
Old man Lai was enjoying the wine and listening to the song, his fingers tapping on the long table, and his smiling eyes flashed with some incomprehensible emotions.
As soon as the song stopped, his fingers followed suit, and he frowned lightly and snorted dissatisfiedly.
"Why did it stop, it's not over yet."
Fu Yingran was confused and snorted twice, coughed and rehashed the old words, "Who are you?" is so familiar with Peach Blossom Spring Village, and there is a key to the dark room, you are a person from Peach Blossom Spring Village, right? β
Old man Lai saw that he couldn't listen to the little song, so he peeled a handful of edamame, threw it into his mouth, and chewed it carefully.
"Me, a wandering wanderer."
The corners of his lips are hooked obliquely, looking like an old and unserious ruffian.
Fu Yiran looked at him from top to bottom, dressed casually, behaved roughly, and was full of charlatanism, which was credible.
"Then how do you know so many things about Peach Blossom Spring Village."
Old man Lai shook his head and said, "Mountain people have their own tricks. β
The temple can be described as the world's first non-governmental organization, regardless of the court, I don't know how many people want to explore its reality, but it has never been in vain.
As one of the three branches, Peach Blossom Spring Village is mysterious and low-key, with strict guards, and no one can get a glimpse of the true face of Lushan.
He is a man of the rivers and lakes, but he can enter and exit the realm of no one alone, and he must have an extraordinary background.
"I have a lot of skills, let alone Peach Blossom Spring Village, I have been to Zhiqiong Mountain where the temple is located."
Old man Lai raised his chin high, looking like he was not afraid of the cowhide being blown out.
He chattered endlessly about his wonderful experience in the rivers and lakes, and Fu Yiran quietly watched him talk exaggeratedly, and from time to time he should make peace with each other.
"Really?"
"You're amazing."
"You know so much."
Old man Lai spoke with emotion and pride, and when he saw that Fu Yiran listened carefully, he suddenly burst out of a sentence.
"Little girl, you and I are destined, it's better to marry a father and daughter with a different surname."
Fu Yiran almost choked himself to death with a mouthful of saliva.
Father and daughter with different surnames? This is something.
How long is his brain, thinking is one out of one.
"Are you kidding, I've only heard of brothers with different surnames, not fathers and daughters with different surnames."
Old man Lai didn't seem to hear the rejection in her tone, and smiled happily, the more he looked at her, the more satisfied he became.
"I have no children and no daughters, and when I get older, I feel quite lonely. You have an appetite for me, and I will be your father in the future, so call my father to listen. β
Fu Yingran's eyes are round, this old man is too unreliable, and he has to be a father when he grabs the girl.
"I don't even know you, you want to be my father, obviously taking advantage of me. And I have a dad. β
Although she didn't remember, she knew that her father was Dazai Fu Mingming of Tianyang Kingdom.
Old man Lai waved his hand and said with a look of deep righteousness, "I don't dislike you." Dad is not afraid of more, one more dad and one more to rely on. β
poured a sip of wine, smashed his mouth and said, "Being my daughter only has benefits and no harm, and I will definitely not regret it in the future." I'll be generous and give you a few days to think about it. After this village, there is no such shop. β
Old man Lai looked like 'you picked up a big bargain', he was so proud that his mouth was about to burst with laughter.
Fu Yiran felt that she couldn't continue to listen to it, otherwise she might really find a father for herself inexplicably.
She stood up, "I'm leaving, I'll see you later." I wish you won't get caught when you go. β
Without waiting for the old man Lai to react, he quickly left the dark room, but as soon as the door opened, he hit a solid chest.
Fu Yingran was knocked down, and before he could see who the person in front of him was, he asked excitedly,
"Who are you, how can you be in the darkroom."
Fu Yingran's body was excited, and he reacted that they were trespassing, and subconsciously looked back at the old man Lai in the house, but where was the figure of the old man Lai on the long case.
And the corner of the dark landlord has a little more light at some point, and it turns out that there is a narrow window half a person wide.
A corner of Old Man Lai's clothes flashed through the narrow window.
That's throwing her away? The slap in the face came too quickly.
A moment ago, he said that he wanted to be his father, but this moment he slipped away.
No righteousness!
The people at the door obviously also saw Old Man Lai, pointed in the direction of the narrow window and shouted, "Who is it, don't run!" β
I wanted to chase after her, but suddenly I wanted to go up and down, so I immediately retracted my steps and turned back, holding her shoulders for fear that she would run away.
"Say, which division are you from, and what are you doing sneaking into the darkroom? And who was the accomplice who escaped? I'm telling you, you'd better be honest, or I'll hand you over to the Inspectorate. β
Fu Yingran's shoulder was pinched painfully, and he twisted his shoulder to get rid of his iron pincers, but he tightened his strength in warning.
"What else can you do in the darkroom, naturally it's drinking."
"Peach Blossom Spring Village is forbidden to drink alcohol except for festivals and banquets, and anyone who drinks in private will be severely fined ten sticks. Go, follow me and get the punishment. β
"Huh?"
Fu Yingran exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly begged for mercy, "I was wrong, I won't do it again, big brother, you can be kind and let me go, give me a chance to mend my ways." β
The eldest brother stunned the man for a moment.
Only then did Fu Yiran see this person's appearance clearly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose, and although his facial features were not outstanding, they were very three-dimensional.
He was darker than ordinary people, but his skin was smooth, and he looked like a sunny and tough man in the clothes of a small worker.
At this time, the man had a straight face, an iron-faced and selfless appearance, and Fu Yingran was really worried about being dragged to a good beating.
Ten sticks, the meat must not bloom.
"Big brother, I didn't know the rules of Peach Blossom Spring Village when I first arrived, I thought that the wine was for people to drink. And I'm a girl, where can I be punished so heavily, can you take pity on Xiangyu and turn a blind eye? β
The man's solemn face loosened slightly, and he moved his eyes to look her up and down.
"Which division are you, why have I never seen you?"
This girl didn't even change the clothes of Peach Blossom Spring Village, it seems that she really just came, and she finally met someone younger than him for more than a month, so she couldn't help coughing lightly, straightened her waist, and brought out the shelf of her predecessors.
Fu Yiran smiled, the smile was painful and flattering, and bypassed his topic and said, "Big brother, can you let go of me first, my shoulders are going to break." β
The man's gaze flickered over her slender shoulders and let go of his fingers in pain.
Fu Yingran was instantly relieved, and he didn't dare to move anymore after moving his shoulders slightly, and he must have been pinched.
"It's not impossible for me to let you go, if you think I'm a big brother, I'll naturally cover you."
The corners of Fu Yingran's mouth twitched, and he sighed twice in his heart.
What's going on today, it's not that someone wants to be his father or someone wants to be her eldest brother, is she so popular?
"This ......"
"What, disagree?"
The man's eyes widened, and the swarthy face with a clear silhouette was indeed somewhat intimidating.
Fu Yingran waved his hand, "No, but this thing...... I'll have to talk to my big brother about it. You are also the eldest brother, and the eldest brother in the family is also the eldest brother, so you must not mix it up in the future. β
"Little things, each shouting his own, I don't mind. Multiple big brothers, multiple roads. β
Why is this so familiar, I just heard the old man Lai say that one more father has one more to rely on, and now there are multiple big brothers and many roads.
Fu Yingran couldn't help but sigh, these two people should marry a father and son with different surnames, and they spoke in exactly the same tone.
"My name is Hongdara, and I will be your eldest brother in the future, and then call my eldest brother to listen."
Fu Yingran was dumbfounded, her red lips moved, but she couldn't shout this 'big brother'.
"Who do you want to recognize as a big brother, with my consent?"
A pleasant voice suddenly broke the embarrassment, and Fu Ran looked for prestige, and his facial features instantly stretched out, as brilliant as a sunflower facing the sun.
"Fried!"
She strode towards the oncoming people, and when she saw familiar people, the anxiety of being in an unfamiliar place instantly dissipated.
Fu Yan naturally squeezed her hand, his eyes smiled gently, and when he raised his eyes to look at the man at the door of the darkroom, he instantly condensed.
"You're going to be her big brother?" The low voice was full of questioning oppression.
Hongdala didn't have stage fright at all, and calmly asked, "Who are you?" β
"Her guards."
A hint of surprise flashed in Hongdara's eyes, and he looked at Fu Yingran inquiringly, "You still have guards?" β
In Peach Blossom Spring Village, no one has an exclusive guard except for the owner, is this girl a new worker?
All the people who came to Peach Blossom Spring Village started as a small errand worker, and when she said that she was new, he took it for granted that she was a small worker.
"You're just a guard, I shouldn't care if her eldest brother cares anything about you."
"He is like a brother and a friend to me."
Fu Yiran made a statement at the right time, and obediently leaned towards Fu Yu beside him, and the two of them revealed their closeness with every gesture.
"My master is the guest of the owner, don't you also want to be the guest of the owner!"
In a word, Hongda's face was flushed, and his dark skin didn't look very obvious.
Two strings of coughs rang out, and the forgotten owner interjected to ask Hongdara, "Who are you from, and why are you here?" β
Fu Yiran only noticed Fu Yan, and forgot about the owner, so he officially bowed to him.
"I took the liberty of visiting, and I bothered. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding when I first came. β
Then his eyes turned around the owner and Fu Yuan.
"How did you get all together? How did he know I was here? β
The owner explained, "When the people of Zhuangzi sent a message that the county lord was coming, they happened to meet the guards looking for you everywhere, so they brought him with them. β
Fu Yingran nodded, and bowed deeply to the owner, "I haven't thanked the owner for taking it in." β
The owner of the village did not take Qiao at all, and replied politely, "The county lord is polite." β
Hondara listened to their conversation, and his whole body froze, and his eyes were fixed on the owner.
This pale, weak and simple man is the owner of the village?
He has entered Peach Blossom Spring Village since he entered the village, and he has never met the owner.
Hondara respectfully greeted and answered the owner's question.
"The little man of the lonely department, Hongdara, came here to get the clothes that the clerks had washed and dried, and happened to hear someone singing in the darkroom and came to take a look, and then he ran into this girl, and another person escaped through the narrow window of the darkroom."
Fu Yiran touched her sideburns awkwardly, and explained with a red face, "I met an old man in the maze, and he said that he came to drink Muqu wine secretly. He took me out of the maze, and then he came here. β
She didn't say anything about the old man Lai smashing a hole in the red wall, and she felt that this matter was very important and could not be made public.
When the owner heard this, his face froze, and he quickly stepped into the dark room, looking at the edamame shells scattered on the side of the long case and the crooked empty wine jar, his expression became darker and darker.
A few pieces of oiled paper containing the food and drinks were casually thrown on the long table, and it looked like a mess at a glance.
Fu Yiran and Fu Yan followed, wanting to explain something, but the owner suddenly turned his head and asked, "How long have the people been gone?" β
Fu Yiran paused, "That's it...... A quarter of an hour. β
Hearing this, the owner hurriedly walked out, walked a few steps and wanted to rise and fall this guest, but stopped and apologized.
"There is still something to do, I can't entertain you in person, please feel free to do so."
As he spoke, his eyes locked on Hong Dala, who was standing at the door of the darkroom in a daze, "Take the county lord to Biluoxuan for placement, take good care of it, and don't slack off." β
Hongdala was dull for a moment, and immediately bowed down in response, and when he raised his head again, the figure of the owner was gone.
Biluoxuan, which is the courtyard closest to the Liushengtang, is a guest residence specially prepared for distinguished guests.
However, it is vacant all year round, and there is not a single guest in a few years.
Or rather, most of the guests are not distinguished guests.
Today, Biluoxuan has a visitor.
"You go to rest first, I'll go see the owner."
As soon as Fu Yan's words fell, he saw Tian Guangfeng sweating profusely and looking for this side, and when he saw Fu Yingran, he stopped and held his knees and gasped.
"Master, it turns out that you are here, so that the villain is easy to find."
He lowered his eyes, looking at him with displeasure in his eyes.
Fu Yingran didn't care about Tian Guangfeng, and talked to Fu Yan about Fuyan.
"She doesn't know I'm here, you go find her and bring her back."
Fu Yu responded, "Don't worry." β
turned around and wanted to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Fu Yingran, turned his head and asked, "Anything else?" β
Fu Yingran pursed her lower lip, "Forget it, I'll talk about it when you come back." β
He was silent for a while, nodded and left.
He walked through the complex corridors without hesitation, knowing the geography well.
The majestic figure and the unparalleled face all made the people along the road amazed.
Entering the peach forest full of maze and mechanisms, I soon saw the owner waiting.
The owner held a peach tree in his hand and coughed gently, his face was a little tired, and his eyebrows twisted a touch of helplessness, and led Fu Yu to the dog hole full of stones and debris.
"He came to Twilight City, and you didn't send anyone to follow? How many times has this wall been repaired! β
He spoke with a sense of reproach, but not really angry. The owner of the village bowed his head and admitted his mistake, without a word of justification.
"It's the subordinates who are not doing well, presumably Grandpa came to see the county lord on purpose."
"Steal wine and drink by the way."
Fu Yan answered, his voice was cold and hard, but his tone was faintly helpless and conniving.
He kept staring at the big hole, of course he knew that Grandpa had come to see Grandpa on purpose.
He missed her.
The owner of the village knew that Fu Yan had always been hard-mouthed and soft-hearted to Grandpa, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "Those wines were specially bought for him, but they didn't go into the wrong stomach." β
"Did you find someone?"
The owner shook his head, "Didn't catch up." Now that the city is closed, he must still be in the city, and I have ordered someone to look for it carefully. β
Fu Yan pondered for a moment but said, "It's okay if he doesn't appear, but it is easy to attract the attention of the Queen Mother." Let him go. β
The owner should go down.
Fu Yan took one last look at the big hole, "Hurry up and make it up, Peach Blossom Spring Village has to watch the door recently." β
"My subordinates understand."
When the owner raised his gaze, there was still the figure of Fu Xu.
He called out to the quiet peach forest, 'Ah Nian'.
Song Nian, the young owner of the village, fell in front of him as lightly as a swallow, and he didn't know where he was hiding, and he didn't notice his existence at all.
The owner coughed twice and pointed to the hole in the wall, "Fix this." All the men of the Takeshi cheered up, the night patrols were doubled, and there were no dead spots in all places. The county lord is in the Zhuangzi, and there must be no mistakes. β
Song Nian responded seriously, sent the owner away, and immediately personally carried the materials to fill the hole.
Sharp and methodical, obviously not the first time to do this.
Wonderful!
