Chapter 82, The Taste of Wine
In fact, Yi Canghong didn't know one thing, that is, the demon beasts here are not only as simple as entering the Dao realm, there are kings among the demon beasts, as long as there is a group, they will have the strongest one among them, which is equivalent to the existence of the human condensation realm.
However, this was not too much of a threat to Yi Canghong, and after killing all the way, he went out of this mountain range.
In the evening, Yi Canghong broke through the most dangerous forest, and now he just wanted to find a safe place to sleep well.
However, this place is not as good as in the small world, he can feel that there are crises everywhere here, although it is said that there is no danger in the small world, but the small troubles are constant, and there is no strong enough breath, there is no way to deter those little demon beasts, so Yi Canghong can only keep moving forward.
As the sun set, the last crimson light disappeared at the end of the sky, and Yi Canghong, who had turned over a big mountain, was about to stop, but there were bursts of fire flickering in the distance, and the flames were swaying, it was not natural light, it was man-made.
This is the second time Yi Canghong has met outsiders, he is very curious, he wants to see if the people there are also as bad as Zhao Qian, out of curiosity, Yi Canghong raised his feet and walked forward, and the whole person turned into an afterimage and disappeared in place.
When he was about to arrive at the place where the flames were emitted, Yi Canghong smelled an extremely pungent smell, it was very bad, like a kind of feces, but he didn't know why, he could feel panic in his heart when he smelled this smell, like fear, but after walking forward again, the smell disappeared.
However, Yi Canghong didn't think much about it, he slowed down and cautiously walked towards the position of the pile of flames step by step.
"Xiao Ding, let's go, go back to sleep, I'm going to go into the mountains tomorrow, nourish my spirits, don't accidentally hit the demon beast but be used as a ration by the demon beast." A middle-aged man's voice came out, it was an elder's exhortation to a junior.
"It's okay, I'll help Grandma Li clean up and go to sleep. A teenager spoke up.
"Alas, go back to sleep, Xiaoding, Grandma will clean up, it's important to get down to business. An old voice came out, it was an old woman, listening to that voice should be seventy or eighty, the voice was very kind.
"Oh, then I'll go back first, Grandma Li, pay attention, don't get tired. The young man's tone was very light and very filial.
"Good, good!" said Grandma Li.
Yi Canghong didn't dare to get too close, his divine sense found that this was a small village with more than a dozen families living here, the place was not big, the surrounding area was surrounded by sharpened wood as a protective fence, and the houses were all made of rocks, and now many people were asleep, and the remaining few people were also gone.
When he found out that their strength was not strong, Yi Canghong walked over lightly with courage, and as soon as he got closer, he smelled a fragrance, which was mixed with the aroma of barbecue, Yi Canghong, who had never eaten other food, only felt that this was simply a delicacy in the world, even if he was not hungry, he couldn't help but drool.
Jump over the fence, all the way forward, at this time, into the eye is a stone house, in the front yard of the stone house, there is a bunch of bonfires, around the place of a few tree tables, the workmanship is very rough, is to use a huge piece of wood to flatten, it looks like there is a rough atmosphere feeling, there is a large pile of leftover bones on the table, on the other side there is a large pile of roasted meat, the aroma is fragrant, on the bonfire hangs a big ding that is as thick as an adult's waist, the smell of meat is wafting out, there is a big jar on the side called wine, Yi Canghong has seen it, that is Xiaoxiang Gongzi once drank wine, although the aroma of wine is different, but where will he divide what it means to be a good wine.
At this time, there was an old woman who looked to be seventy or eighty years old, dressed in coarse linen, and her movements were very slow, but very steady, and it could be seen that she had cultivated.
However, Yi Canghong was attracted by the fragrant meat, and he even forgot to hide it.
"Grunt!" Yi Canghong's eyes stared at those delicacies, and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"Huh?" the old woman was stunned and turned her head to look at Yi Canghong, who made a sound.
"......" Yi Canghong's eyes rolled, and they looked at each other and did not speak.
At this time, Yi Canghong's heart was very complicated, he didn't want to rob or steal, because he knew that it was wrong, but he really wanted to eat.
Soon, Yi Canghong was a little embarrassed, and he reluctantly turned around and left.
"Child, are you hungry?" asked the old woman.
"Not hungry. Yi Canghong didn't stop leaving, and replied.
"Come over and have a bite to eat, there's a lot more to here anyway. The old woman smiled.
"Can I really eat it?" Yi Canghong stopped and turned around, his face full of anticipation.
"Yes, yes!" replied the old woman.
"Hmm!" Yi Canghong was no longer polite, and after walking over, he grabbed a piece of barbecue and sent it to his mouth, although the appearance of eating was not good-looking, but the old woman's eyes were full of kindness.
"Slow down, slow down, no one is robbing you. The old woman's smile was kind, but with a sadness, as if she remembered something.
"It's delicious!" Yi Canghong's mouth was stuffed with barbecue meat, and he couldn't even speak very clearly.
"Eat more if it's delicious. The old woman said.
"Hmm!" Yi Canghong didn't speak again, just ate it.
However, a small part of the barbecue that Yi Canghong ate instantly turned into aura and dissipated into the meridians in his body, although it was inferior to the barbecue he had eaten before, but he didn't think about it at all.
The old woman took out a bowl of broth from the ding, handed it over, and said, "Come and drink the soup, don't choke." ”
Yi Canghong was not polite, and after taking it, he sent it directly to his mouth.
After a meal of gobbling up, Yi Canghong ate the amount of food of three adults, and his stomach directly rose, and he reluctantly put down the barbecue in his hand and said, "Thank you, Grandma Li." ”
"Huh?" the old woman was stunned for a moment and said, "How do you know that my surname is Li?"
"Because I just heard someone call you that!" Yi Canghong said.
"Oh, so that's it, kid, what's your name? Where did you come from? Why did you come here alone on this big night?" Grandma Li asked, she had to ask, first of all, what kind of place is this, the deep mountains and old forests where monsters are rampant, who dares to trespass without any skills, but a teenager actually came here.
"My name is Yi Canghong, I came by a flying boat, down there, I'm going to Changqing City. Yi Canghong didn't say much, after all, there are some things that can't be said, but he doesn't know that his casual words reveal a lot of information, and this is a kind of trust.
"Oh!" the old woman nodded, she learned that Yi Canghong either had a strong backing, and his own strength was not weak, or he had offended someone and was put here to fend for himself, at least one thing she could be sure of, that is, Yi Canghong was not the kind of person who was a big traitor.
"Son, are you alone, and no one else is with you? You know, it's very dangerous in the mountains. Grandma Li said.
"Don't be afraid, I won't go deep into the mountains, Grandma Li, you guys are so good here, there are so many delicious foods every day. Yi Canghong said, in fact, if you want to say that it is delicious, the barbecue grilled by Yanhuang is definitely first-class, but Yi Canghong is tired of eating it.
"Hehe! It's just some monster meat, just roast it casually, cook it, and it's not something you have to eat every day, it's a good meal to say that it's good, but maybe it will be their last meal. As soon as she said this, Grandma Li's face had a sad expression, even if she saw more life and death parting, but she still couldn't control her emotions, you know, her children and grandchildren died in the deep mountains and old forests for the whole village to fill their stomachs.
"Hmm!" Yi Canghong was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "Why do you say that?"
"Because tomorrow they will go into the mountains to hunt...... Alas, don't say it, don't say it!" Grandma Li really didn't want to mention these sad things.
There is a good saying, they live here, if they want to survive, they must hunt monsters as food, but there are many dangers in the mountains, no one dares to guarantee that there will be a life to go back, because it is now about to enter winter, they have to prepare a whole winter of food, there is a rule here, that is, when the food is about to run out, they will organize the young and strong people in the village to go into the mountains to hunt, before going, they will eat a good meal, take out most of the food, so that the people who enter the mountains are full of food and drink, one of them is just in case, they are afraid that they will die and will not be able to eat a full meal, and there is that they will break the boat, let them remember that they must come back alive, or the old and young of the village will starve to death with their death.
And these days are the time for them to prepare, and during this time, they will eat more heartily than usual.
Yi Canghong has never seen the world, but people are not stupid, he can still hear Grandma Li's helplessness, he was silent for a while, and said, "Can I drink some wine?"
"Yes, yes, we drink it at your age, this is our own ......," Grandma Li said with a smile.
Because he didn't know the spicy nature of the wine, Yi Canghong poured it directly into it as if he was drinking.
His eyes widened, only to feel that his throat was hot, accompanied by a warm current flowing directly into his abdomen, and then his brows furrowed, his whole face suddenly distorted, and he looked ridiculous, and Grandma Li couldn't help laughing.
Yi Canghong's vigilance increased instantly, but he didn't feel any hostility out of instinctive reaction.
He used the spiritual power in his body to disperse it from his whole body, and although the wine was dispersed, the spicy smell still remained in his throat.
"Now how do you feel it?" said Grandma Li, laughing.
"Hmm!" Suddenly, Yi Canghong felt an extremely strong fragrance lingering in his mouth, it felt very strange, it was not much better, but it was not bad.
"It has a strange aroma, but it's really uncomfortable when you first drink it in your mouth. Yi Canghong said.
"This is wine, you can only experience its intensity if you have experienced the spiciness, you take a deep breath and feel it. "Grandma Li invisibly carried a sense of arrogance at this time, giving people a feeling of arrogance.
Yi Canghong tried to take a deep breath, only to feel that the aroma of wine instantly seemed to spread throughout his body, and he actually had a feeling of fluttering immortals.
I don't know if it was a memory or what, Aunt Li restrained the arrogance just now, poured herself a glass of wine, tasted it slowly, stared at the night sky with empty eyes, and said: "You reminded me of my child, the first time he drank was secretly, at that time he was also your expression, many people saw it at that time, and they all laughed so happily!"
"And what about him now?" Yi Canghong relieved himself and asked casually.
"No, a long, long time ago, he led the young people in the village into the mountains to hunt, and he never came back......" Grandma Li's eyes were filled with tears.
"Since life here is so difficult, why don't you leave here?" Yi Canghong said.
"Where can I go? It's almost the same everywhere without the ability, it's the monster beast here, but the people who face it outside are sometimes more terrifying than the monster. Grandma Li said.
"Are the people outside so scary?" Yi Canghong asked.
