Chapter 78: Three Watches (II)
After discussing with Bai Changsheng, Wu Laosan stood up and left, and returned to Beijing to ask for orders from the Yamen.
Ji Li and Lu Buchen hurried over:
"Where are you going? Do you live at the entrance of the yamen? Put a coffin at the door and open it? โ
Bai Changsheng glared at Ji Li, and said in his heart that this kid is really out of character when he speaks:
"Where is it, it hasn't landed yet, wait for news."
The remaining three people chatted again, Bai Changsheng drank this rice wine burned by Lu Buchen, it was very delicious, but it was still a few points worse than the dragon saliva that day.
I don't know how it was made, Bai Changsheng asked Lu Buchen if he knew that there was a kind of wine called ambergris.
Lu Buchen burped:
"I haven't heard of it, but this name is good, I only know that there is ambergris, legend has it that this fragrance floats for ten miles, and the guests are divided into a cut of menstrual months, and the ambergris is a treasure that is more expensive than gold."
Bai Changsheng was listening, and he didn't think that Lu Buchen's way still knew ambergris, so he asked him if he had any interesting allusions to listen to, and Lu Buchen thought for a while:
"Our place is not as prosperous as the capital, there are no stories worth telling, and I didn't pay attention to these, but I heard that there is a woman who can drink ten catties a day, which is quite powerful."
Ji Li's mouth opened:
"Ten pounds? Feelings, you can make a night pot in that place! โ
"Go, go, what a night pot, it's that woman who raised a little ghost in her belly!"
Bai Changsheng became interested as soon as he heard it, who can raise ghosts in his stomach? This is also ridiculous.
Lu Buchen drank a lot of wine, and with his tongue rolled, he told the two of them the story of this drunkard's belly.

This story takes place in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province during the Qianlong period.
In the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the scenery is beautiful, the beauties are colorful, and the treasure of Wuhua is naturally indispensable for rich specialties.
In fact, there are special products in every place, Shaoxing is naturally headed by rice wine, the production process is skillful, pure and pleasant, and the aroma of wine is enough to intoxicate.
And below Shaoxing Mansion, there is a small village, called Toujia Village, which is the first part of wine-making technology.
Thinking about this Qing Dynasty, the rice wine of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang factions is respected by Shaoxing, and the rice wine of Shaoxing is respected by Toujia Village.
This was a well-known thing at the time, and with such a name, the people in Toujia Village were also very fond of it.
Basically, it can be said that men, women, children, and men like to drink, and only drink rice wine, which is nothing, but there is only one person, he is different.
It stands to reason that if you drink in Toujia Village, you must drink rice wine, but this person is very interesting, he only drinks sake, and the amount is amazing.
Ordinary people, three meals a day, at most two meals with wine, but also to take care of the livelihood of the work, can not get up early in the morning to start drinking and having fun, this was not the norm at that time.
But no matter how many drunkards there are, they start to have fun with soju every morning, and from morning to night, they have to drink a few jars all day to enjoy themselves.
He doesn't work or communicate with his neighbors, and this drunkard drinks and sleeps at home all day long, and the villagers hate this person in their eyes.
I feel that this person is not enterprising, and he drinks and eats, which is really unorthodox, and over time, everyone has no good face for this person.
Drunkards don't care, when they have no money, they go to the streets to do part-time jobs, repair houses, dig graves, shine shoes and harvest crops, and live on this It is naturally stretched and impossible to get rich.
He has to drink so much wine, and it stands to reason that working a part-time job will definitely not be able to support his daily life, but it seems that this person has not lacked money to buy wine.
Everyone was also curious, but when they asked this person, he didn't say anything, only that someone had helped him.
Everyone didn't pay attention after listening to it, because there were more important things to care about: during that time, the children of several families in Toujia Village were lost, and they didn't know whether they were lost or taken away by wild wolves.
At that time, this was a common thing, and the family had to continue to live while grieving.
Until one day, a few villagers played the autumn breeze at night (Jiangsu and Zhejiang customs, picking up cheap), and Li Jiaxiao, the head of the proprietor's house, said that it was wrong to ask for some rations, which was also common at that time.
A few villagers drank some wine and wandered around, just in time for the harvest to fight the autumn wind to get a lot of food, and laughed and came to the drunkard's house, and occasionally heard a burst of crying from inside.
It seems that a young child is crying.
This drunkard is thirty or forty years old, and he has not married a wife or children, so how can he have children crying? Everyone was very puzzled, and some people thought of the lost children.
He hurried to the front of the yard, kicked the door and saw the drunkard in the yard, tying up the children one by one and throwing them into the sacks.
Everyone was shocked, it turned out that the child lost in the village was really kidnapped by this person, and they were all here.
In anger, he called the local security and the villagers, and everyone tied up the drunkard and beat him, and the drunkard was so drunk that he couldn't bear the pain and told the reason.
Earlier, an old Taoist came to Toujia Village, and when he saw the drunkard drinking all day long, he ridiculed him for being so unbearable.
The old man laughed weirdly, saying that he could drink every day without lack of money, but he wanted to do himself a favor and asked him if he would like to.
The drunkard was overjoyed, and quickly asked what he was going to do, and the old man said that he needed thirteen boys and girls, cut off all the tongues, and put them in sacks, waiting for him to come and get them.
When the drunkard heard this, they found that all the children had their tongues cut out, no wonder they only cried but did not shout.
All the villagers were furious and beat the drunkard to death.
Before she died, there was a woman who kept scolding that she came up with the idea to kill this villain, and the drunkard kept staring at this woman angrily when he was killed.
The woman's child wasn't here, it was her sister's child, but she had recently become pregnant.
The government sent people to arrest the evil old man step by step, and everyone thought that it would be over like this, and it would be okay if the scoundrel was beaten to death.
But something was wrong with the woman who scolded the drunkard at the beginning: from that day on, this woman had a strange disease, she liked the smell of wine, she was fascinated by the smell of wine, and she only liked the taste of sake, and no one knew what was going on.
You must know that before this, women did not drink alcohol.
And the child in the womb can't be born when she is about to give birth, and her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and everyone thinks she is evil.
Later, it became a drink every day, drunk and not drunk, at least ten catties a day, the evil door is how to drink this woman is not drunk, the family is afraid, go to Lingyin Temple to invite an old monk to see.
When the old monk arrived, he was shocked when he saw the woman's stomach, and he knew that there was a famous hall inside, and he took a magic weapon to pat the woman's stomach, and the woman screamed.
The whole belly was broken, and a small person popped out of the woman's belly! That villain is the size of a palm, it's the drunkard before!
Everyone was shocked, and the old monk learned about this drunkard from the villagers, and patted his head and said something bad, which made a big mistake.
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw the black wind howling outside the yard, and there was an old road wrapped in the wind, and the old road rushed over with a wicked smile...
Speaking of this, a gust of night wind blew, Bai Changsheng Ji Li was listening attentively, and suddenly saw a person rushing over at the mouth of the alley, Ji Li was frightened, and just about to pretend to be dead, he found that it was Wu Laosan who came back.
"Changsheng, that's done! The boss agreed. โ
Wu Laosan was very happy, and Bai Changsheng was also very excited when he heard it, he actually did it.
Wu Laosan's idea before was to let him live in the pawnshop in the eighteen alleys, but Master Wang hadn't taken office immediately, and after hearing it, he felt that it was okay, so he rewarded the house to Bai Changsheng with a wave of his hand.
Bai Changsheng was excited, stood up and waved his hand:
"Let's go, let's move!"
Lu Buchen and Ji Li were also happy for Bai Changsheng after hearing this, and they stood up and were about to leave.
"Buchen, you haven't finished your story, what's going on next?"
Ji Li was still thinking about that story, and Lu Buchen was about to say it when he was interrupted by Bai Changsheng:
"Isn't it just a ghost story, you can hear it, follow me to my new home first, and then I'll talk about it later."
Wu Laosan next to him remembered one more thing, took out an envelope from his bosom, and handed it to Bai Changsheng:
"This is handed over to you by the master, and it is said that it was left by the Admiral of the Nine Gates."
Such a big official writes to himself? Is there something you want to advise? Bai Changsheng opened the letter with questions:
On the letter, there was only one line of words, and after Bai Changsheng read it, his face changed immediately.
