Chapter 8: The Mysterious Gift

After dinner, Liang Qing pestered Zheng Pei to go to the fruit stall to buy some low-priced fruits, saying that he wanted to pay tribute to Yue Lao and various immortals. Zheng Pei watched Liang Qing pick and choose among the small pile www.biquge.info of processed fruits and bargain with the boss while picking and choosing, and immediately thought of the compass with a crossed waist and thin feet in the middle school text. After returning to the dormitory, while Liang Qing was humming a tune to wash the fruit, Zheng Pei quickly slipped out like a thief holding the wooden box. Fortunately, it was getting late, and there were no pedestrians on campus except for those who were in love. Zheng Pei was in a hurry, holding the wooden box all the way around, and quickly came to a small forest behind the school hospital. Seeing that there was no one around, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, so he quickly took out the small stone and pressed it on the wooden box, and silently recited the password in his heart: Shedding is life, and life is extinguished.

There are no changes to the chest. Not only is there no crack like last time, but even the grain of the wood has not deepened. Zheng Pei pinched the small stone, stood up helplessly and looked at the box in a trance. He pondered that it might be that the cultivation given to him by Ba Niang had been used up, and he didn't have cultivation, so the spell didn't work. Just as Zheng Pei was sighing, a small animal hurried past not far in front of him, startling Zheng Pei. The light was not good at night, and Zheng Pei didn't see what it was. I saw a black shadow like a squirrel "whooshing" and running over, grabbing the crack in the outer wall of the hospital and running directly onto the roof. When Zheng Pei came over to take a look, the little thing was long gone. In addition to being frightened, Zheng Pei also made an unexpected discovery: the outer wall of the school hospital was in disrepair, and some broken bricks collapsed in the corners. Zheng Pei squatted down, picked and chose by the light of the street lamp, and finally found a half-cut brick that resembled an awl. He broke it and found that the brick was of good texture and had not fallen off. He picked up another relatively intact brick and ran back to the side of the box, using an awl brick as a chisel and another whole brick as a hammer, and smashed it tentatively! With a click, a hole was carved in the center of the wooden box. Zheng Pei was overjoyed, and chiseled the wooden boxes along the edge of the cave entrance, and the sound of bricks hitting and breaking wooden boxes reverberated in the silent woods, and the sweat beads on Zheng Pei's face kept falling, and he didn't care about wiping them, he just looked around vigilantly while chiseling. With a "click", the wooden box finally cracked in half. Zheng Pei threw away the bricks, let out a sigh of relief, and wiped his face with his sleeve. He carefully removed the brick slag and wood chips from the floor, for fear that they would be mixed up with the contents of the wooden box. Zheng Pei pushed aside the layers of dead leaves that had been piled up inside the wooden box, and a strong smell of wine came to his face, choking him almost from behind. He covered his mouth and nose with one arm, and continued to clean the dead leaves with the other hand, and at last, he found a thin gourd from the pile of dead leaves, on which seemed to have three characters written in crooked characters with a brush......

A mouthful!

Zheng Pei frowned, put the gourd aside, and continued to dig around the pile of dead leaves with his hands, but found nothing else. Zheng Pei took the gourd in his hand, stood up and looked at it carefully and repeatedly. He thinks that even if it is Granny Ye, it is too strange to give him a bottle of wine, right? And it is also written that it is stuffy! The strong smell of wine emitted by this wine gourd was already unbearable for Zheng Pei just to hold in his hand, let alone drink it. Zheng Pei weighed the weight of the wine gourd in his hand, and it was full of one catty. Drink? What Granny Ye gave him should be life-saving medicine. But...... Zheng Pei had also drunk and drunk before. But that was because he couldn't recover from the blow of his mother's death at that time, so he simply borrowed wine to drown his sorrows; Second, the wine he drank was far less stingy than the wine in the gourd. But now the matter is at stake, Zheng Pei looked at the ring on his left hand, and after hesitating for a moment, he still opened the stopper of the gourd. For a while, the smell of wine rushed to the sky, Zheng Pei burst into tears, and he felt that the wine tasted spicy. Zheng Pei hesitated for a long time but still couldn't make up his mind. He stuffed the wine gourd into his arms, and planned to go back to the dormitory to wait for the lights to go out, and then go to the toilet to drink. So in case ...... What if? Zheng Pei smiled bitterly, he decided to go to sleep immediately after drinking, drunk like that, and what time did he sleep the next day.

All the way back. The more Zheng Pei walked, the more he felt as if he was sleepy, the soles of his feet fluttered, and the things he saw in his eyes were swaying. When the pedestrians he met on the road were two meters away from him, they avoided them one after another, Zheng Pei only felt that his face was a little burning, could it be that he was sick? Fortunately, the dormitory was not far away, and Zheng Pei staggered up to the fourth floor in the eyes of the doorman. At this time, most of the students had already washed up, and Zheng Pei estimated that the lights would be turned off soon. So he simply went straight to the toilet and sat on the windowsill while enjoying the night view of the campus while waiting for the lights to go out.
