"I don't know." Su Jinyao looked underground, frowned and said, "You lie to people." If there was a sake cellar, the entrance would have been exposed after it burned out, but now there is nothing. ”

"Am I mistaken?" Gu Xuebin still frowned, and then hugged Su Jinyao and turned left three times and right three times on the ruins where the traces were no longer obvious.

Su Jinyao thought that there was a Qimen Dunjia Formation here, only to hear Gu Xuebin say, "Ha, I found it." ”

After speaking, Gu Xuebin put Su Jinyao down, pulled out the dagger and squatted on the ground again, and used the tip of the knife to open a piece of turf.

Only then did Su Jinyao see that a bluestone slab was indeed exposed underneath, which looked like a cellar entrance.

A furball ball

Gu Xuebin peeled off a large piece of turf to the side, and Su Jinyao found that there were two two-foot square bluestone slabs laid on the side.

The bluestone slabs on the left and right sides were uncovered, revealing a section of ladder below.

Gu Xuebin grabbed the ladder and pressed it vigorously, the bamboo ladder made a "creaking" sound, and the toughness was still quite sufficient.

"Daughter-in-law, I'll go down first, and you can take the wine jar on top." Gu Xuebin was about to climb down after speaking, Su Jinyao hurriedly squatted down and grabbed him and said, "You don't want to light a fire fold?" If there's no air circulation down there, how can you stand it? ”

Gu Xuebin raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "It's okay, shut up." I used to sneak down a lot. ”

After speaking, he patted Su Jinyao's hand and went down the ladder.

Since she was going to step on the ladder, Su Jinyao felt that the following situation must be strange, otherwise it would be okay to jump down with Gu Xuebin's light skills.

Because it was already dark and the light was insufficient, it was impossible to see the situation below when lying at the entrance of the cave.

Su Jinyao was a little anxious, so she wanted to shout at the entrance of the cave and ask Gu Xuebin to hurry up.

But thinking about Gu Xuebin, he was afraid that he would be discouraged if he responded in a hurry, but he would be easily poisoned, so he kept silent.

After waiting for a while, Su Jinyao saw a faint light flickering below, the light was very soft, it was a faint blue-green, not like firelight, but some kind of cold light.

Su Jinyao couldn't help but be curious, so she asked, "Che, what's the light?" Come out quickly, don't rub it off, I'm in a hurry. ”

"Here, on." Gu Xuebin's voice sounded, and then he saw the blue-green ball of light flying towards Su Jinyao.

Because she knew that Gu Xuebin threw it over, Su Jinyao didn't have to worry about danger, so she directly reached out and grabbed it.

It felt soft and gentle to the touch, and when I looked down, it turned out to be a milky white ball. But this hairball is the thing that just glowed?

Or did Gu Xuebin go down not to get wine, but for this thing?

Su Jinyao turned around and looked at it, only to find that the ball in her hand seemed to indeed glow. It's just that faint fluorescence, which you can't see where there's light, and you can't see it in a dark place.

"Che, what is this?" Su Jinyao raised the hairball in her hand and asked Gu Xuebin, who had not yet come out below.

"I don't know, my uncle found a gadget a long time ago. Probably a mushroom that will grow. Gu Xuebin replied, his voice a little closer.

After another moment, I saw Gu Xuebin handing over a jar of wine from below.

Su Jinyao took the wine jar and put it aside, and Gu Xuebin also climbed up the bamboo ladder.

Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin sat at the entrance of this wine cellar, and the two of them watched the hairball together.

Gu Xuebin said: "A few years ago, when my uncle first discovered this little thing, it was only the size of an egg yolk, and it didn't have so many hairs, so it was more elastic than this. In the next few years, I didn't see much growth, but the fur became longer, and it was warm and warm to the touch, and it was much brighter. Later, my uncle found out that this little thing likes to stay in a dark place, and where it is, the wine tastes particularly good when fermented. So my uncle put it in the cellar. ”

After speaking, Gu Xuebin also pinched the hairball with his hand and said, "I haven't seen it for a few years, but it has grown up a little bit and is brighter." As soon as I went down, it slowly started to emit

I'll show you the light. Is it fun? ”

Su Jinyao listened to Gu Xuebin's introduction, felt that this thing was a little familiar, and thought for a while: "I seem to have heard my master say that this is a fungus that is slowly formed from koji. It's also a bit like cordyceps, it's a living body. But the largest one Master has ever seen is the size of a chestnut, and the one my uncle found is really big enough, and it is estimated that he has lived for hundreds of years. ”

Gu Xuebin pointed to the hairy ball and said, "Jin Yao likes it, then I'll give it to you." It's fun, and there's a burst of wine. ”

Su Jinyao smiled after hearing this, and said, "I don't want it." And this thing can't see the sun often, and if it gets too much sun, it will die. Let's put it back and raise it with wine, the wine will taste more mellow. ”

Gu Xuebin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then just throw it back." It will jump and find its own comfortable place in the cellar. ”

Su Jinyao laughed when she heard this, and said, "Well, it's a bit like an elf, it's cute." ”

After that, Su Jinyao was going to throw the hairball back into the cellar. But at this moment, the bag on Su Jinyao's waist moved, and then there was a "bang" collision sound.

Su Jinyao was stunned for a moment, reached into her purse and touched it, and took out the bottle containing the Snow Lotus Gu.

As soon as the bottle was taken out, the Snow Lotus Gu hit it even harder, and the whole bottle jumped straight in Su Jinyao's palm.

Almost at the same time, the hairball in Su Jinyao's hand also moved, as if she was about to escape.

"This thing...... Snow Lotus Gu wants to eat it. Su Jinyao was holding the bottle of Snow Lotus Gu in one hand, and pinching the hairball in the other hand was a little tangled.

Snow Lotus Gu hadn't eaten for a long time, this guy was too picky to eat, and he could hardly find the best Snow Lotus that could be eaten.

Now Snow Lotus Gu showed such a strong interest in this hairball, but if she really fed it to eat it, Su Jinyao felt a pity.

After all, this is my uncle's sake cellar, and this hairball can make the wine here more mellow, so it's a shame that it becomes food.

Gu Xuebin also saw his suspicions, and looked at Su Jinyao's entangled face, so he said, "Why don't you release the Snow Lotus Gu out and try it first, maybe it doesn't want to eat, but just wants to play with this little hairball for a while?" ”

Su Jinyao was originally very entangled, and she almost couldn't help laughing at this moment. He said: "Gu worms are not like pets, they still need to play. The most direct need of Gu worms is to eat and absorb desperately in order to advance. I'm sure that as long as the Snow Lotus Gu is released, this hairball will be finished. ”

Gu Xuebin knew that Su Jinyao had spent a lot of effort and thought in order to promote Snow Lotus Gu, and only if Snow Lotus Gu could help Xiuxiu lure out the Gu worms in her body, Su Jinyao could be regarded as relieving a piece of heart disease.

Gu Xuebin thought about it and said, "That'...... Try eating half of it? ”

"Will you die if you cut it?" Su Jinyao grabbed the hairball in her hand, feeling that this little guy was soft and warm, and it was really a pity that he died.

Gu Xuebin smiled as a thief and said, "It's okay, I have a way." ”

After speaking, Gu Xuebin took the hairball from Su Jinyao's hand, gestured with the dagger in his hand, and then began to shave the hairball.

That's right, shaving. And Gu Xuebin's technique is exquisite, fast, accurate and ruthless.

After a while, the hairball was shaved off, and it was similar in size to a boiled egg with the shell peeled, but without those hairs, it looked smooth and delightful.

It became the food of Snow Lotus Gu

Gu Xuebin shaved the hairball into a bare egg, collected the shaved hair into a handful, and handed the bare egg to Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao couldn't hold it back, laughed "haha", and said, "It looks really smooth, delicate and elastic." Che, are you sure it won't die that way? ”

Gu Xuebin leaned into Su Jinyao's ear and whispered, "Actually, I did this once when I was a child. While my uncle didn't know, I shaved it. Then I found that after shaving, it will grow back. ”

Su Jinyao nodded in understanding, because children's curiosity is always strong. Sometimes he doesn't care about the result at all, whether he will kill the hairball or not, he doesn't care at all, he just wants to explore the essence of this thing.

Gu Xuebin pointed to the bottle in Su Jinyao's hand again, and said, "I just don't know if Snow Lotus Gu eats these hairs." ”

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "It should be eaten, after all, it is a kind of fungus." These hairs are actually a special kind of hyphae. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao gestured the slippery egg towards the wine cellar and asked, "Shall I just throw it down?" Now that there is no hair, will it fall to its death? ”

"No, it's very resilient and it's fun." After Gu Xuebin finished speaking, he pouted downwards and said, "Throw it." ”

Su Jinyao was also playful, and as soon as she raised her hand, she threw the "hairball" out of the dark wine cellar.

As soon as you reach a dark place, the hairballs that have no hair begin to glow a soft blue-green light, and because they are not covered with a circle of hair, they appear brighter.

Su Jinyao watched the little thing fall to the ground and bounce it, and then bounced up and hit it forward. It seemed to hit the wall, bounced sideways a few more times, and then rolled deeper into the cellar.

"Isn't this situation complicated?" Su Jinyao guessed based on the bounced line of the hairball and the little place illuminated.

Gu Xuebin nodded and said, "This bamboo forest is between the mountain cols, and below it is actually a rock crack in the mountain. It is naturally formed, and it has not been artificially altered, but my uncle added a few beams to it and added a few bluestone slabs as lids. The underground space is much larger than the above, but it is uneven and difficult to walk, so I didn't let you go down. ”

Su Jinyao looked at her ankle and understood what Gu Xuebin meant. He was afraid that his injuries would not be adaptable.

Gu Xuebin touched Su Jinyao's head again, and said softly: "There will be a chance in the future." The following are all the good wines from my uncle's cellar, and when you are completely well, I will take you down to see the jar after jar. ”

Su Jinyao nodded, then shook the bottle containing the Snow Lotus Gu in her hand, and said, "Quickly cover the slate." This Snow Lotus Gu can't wait for the meal. ”

Gu Xuebin smiled after hearing this, and said, "The two of us are still hungry, but it is in a hurry to eat, it's really unfair." ”

However, saying that, Gu Xuebin quickly put the bluestone slab back up, and then re-paved the turf that had just been removed.

Because he was afraid that there would be obvious marks at the joints of the turf, Gu Xuebin also dug up grass, moss, and soil from other places in the bamboo forest to fill in.

The weeds also grow quickly, and it is estimated that the seams will be completely covered in the future.

Just when Gu Xuebin was busy with this, Su Jinyao uncorked the bottle and released the Snow Lotus Gu.

As soon as it came out, Snow Lotus Gu seemed to be a snack, crawling directly to that pinch of milky white

The hair on it was eaten.

Su Jinyao didn't know what similarities this special mycelium had with Snow Lotus, but watching the Snow Lotus Gu eat it, she knew that it was indeed in line with its taste.

By the time Gu Xuebin had completely restored the ground and the turf was covered, the Snow Lotus Gu had already eaten all the mycelium shaved off the hairball. I almost had a full burp and rubbed my stomach again.

Gu Xuebin didn't observe the live situation, so he asked Su Jinyao: "How is it, is this guy still satisfied?" ”

Su Jinyao fiddled with Snow Lotus Gu's body, nodded and said, "I should be quite satisfied." I just don't know how long it will take for that hairball to grow. ”

"It's probably going to be more than five years." Gu Xuebin shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "After I shaved it when I was a child, I waited for a year for it to be still smooth. For this, I was beaten three times by my uncle. ”

Su Jinyao laughed out loud for a while after hearing this, and felt that Gu Xuebin was really a naughty child. But it's cute.

Gu Xuebin raised his face and asked, "Daughter-in-law, have you laughed enough?" If we haven't laughed enough, we'll laugh slowly along the way. You hold the wine jar, I hold you, let's go home and eat meat." ”

Su Jinyao remembered that when she just woke up, she heard Gu Xuebin's stomach beating like a drum.

She nodded hurriedly, turned around and hugged the wine jar in her arms. He said, "Okay, let's go." ”

Gu Xuebin leaned over with a smile and hugged Su Jinyao, weighed it again, and then said with satisfaction: "Jinyao, I see that you have grown to this weight." Holding weight, I feel solid in my heart. ”

The corners of Su Jinyao's mouth twitched when she heard this, and her eyelids jumped "suddenly".

The wine jar she was holding in her arms was not small, and it should be able to hold a full ten catties of wine. Coupled with the weight of the wine jar, does it mean that Gu Xuebin wants Su Jinyao to gain more than ten pounds? It's scary to think about.

Su Jinyao glanced at Gu Xuebin fiercely and said, "It's absolutely impossible." My current figure is pretty standard, just a little thin. If I were to gain more than a dozen pounds, I would not even be able to walk. ”

Gu Xuebin opened his mouth and was just about to distinguish a few words, when Su Jinyao blocked his mouth with his hand and said loudly: "How can a woman who can't even control her own weight control her man?" Are you trying to fatten me and dislike me? ”

At this moment, Gu Xuebin didn't dare to say anything.

He is a wife and slave, and he must obey his daughter-in-law's words.

It's a big deal, just feed your daughter-in-law fat quietly, why make her unhappy.

The two returned to Su's house, and a large table of dishes had already been set up in the main hall.

But whether it was Su Xiangui, Su Fei'er, Xiaocheng'er, or the cook who cooked, Mingjuan, and Mingrui, none of them were sitting, but they were all standing there and waiting.

As soon as Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin entered the door, they felt that their heads were big when they saw this kind of battle.

Su Jinyao's hand knocked on the wine jar, and then said, "Oh, I remember, I seem to have said before, just send us the food to the house." We're not going to eat here, feel free to do so. ”

After that, Su Jinyao tugged at Gu Xuebin's shirt and motioned for him to turn around and go back.

Gu Xuebin also smiled awkwardly, hugged Su Jinyao and turned around to leave.

"Jinyao, Che'er." Su Xiangui's voice suddenly came from behind him......

The atmosphere was harmonious

Hearing Su Xiangui's greeting, Gu Xuebin stopped and first looked down at Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao frowned slightly, and felt a little awkward in her heart.

If the people of the Su family had been like this, Su Jinyao would really not be able to stay here anymore. She wants to leave with Gu Xuebin, so as not to make everyone uncomfortable.

What's more, Gu Xuebin has given up so much for her, and he even kowtowed to his mother's tomb and Su Xiangui, that is, he completely abandoned his identity and superiority as a prince.

But Gu Xuebin just wants to live an ordinary life as an ordinary person now, but he wants to be excluded, how can Su Jinyao not feel uncomfortable?

"Jinyao, come back and sit." Su Xiangui's voice was not loud, and it was also a little inquisitive, but it still sounded very sincere.

Su Jinyao didn't speak, pursing her lips was really contradictory and embarrassed.

Gu Xuebin took a breath, turned around slowly, and said with a smile: "Jinyao is a little tired today, let's go back and eat." ”

"Che." Su Jinyao grabbed Gu Xuebin's clothes, and shook her head silently because she felt very sorry for him.

Because this kind of incompatibility cannot be reconciled and integrated.

Gu Xuebin is an innate king, and the breath of wealth is imprinted in his bones, so it's no wonder that Su Xiangui is uncomfortable.

But if she stays here, it will be too unfair to Gu Xuebin, so she also approves of Gu Xuebin leaving.

"No, no. Jinyao and Che'er, you misunderstood. Su Xiangui hurriedly said: "Dad just wants to ask Che'er to have a few glasses of wine together and talk about the past." After all, that bamboo forest is also our Pingshan Village, and the reminiscences of our villagers are old. Everyone is waiting here to welcome you, that's all. ”

Gu Xuebin's body paused, and his expression was a little moved.

Then he smiled gently again and nodded: "Since the father-in-law has spoken, the son-in-law will stay and have a few drinks with the father-in-law." Let's drink some of Xiaocheng'er, he's also a man. ”

Su Jinyao gently pinched Gu Xuebin's clothes, because she was afraid that he would be embarrassed.

Gu Xuebin lowered his head and cast a reassuring look at Su Jinyao, and then hugged her and walked towards the table.

Su Jinyao was put on a chair by Gu Xuebin. Gu Xuebin thought about it and sat next to Su Jinyao, in the second place.

And Su Xiangui hesitated slightly, although his expression was still a little panicked, and he sat on the main seat.
