Chapter 357: Dragon Anointing Wine
With Wei Xiao as her companion, Bai Qianyu's late-night adventure suddenly became much safer, and she even volunteered to walk in front.
The adventure becomes an exciting yet fun game.
As if seeing her thoughts, Wei Xiao whispered in her ear: "Don't think about it so simple, did you think that there was another possibility in that room?"
"What is possible?" Bai Qianyu asked.
Wei Xiao said: "That room may really hide a person, and this person is not any person we have seen on the boat." ”
Bai Qianyu's heart that had been put down hung into the air again, and he opened his mouth and stammered: "How is it possible?
Wei Xiao said: "Didn't you tell me that everyone on this ship seems to have a secret? So why can't Jiang Laojiao have a secret of his own, and that secret is a person who can't meet everyone?"
Bai Qianyu's eyes rolled and said, "Female...... People?"
Wei Xiao flicked her finger on her head: "Why is your imagination so rich, where do you think of it?"
Bai Qianyu muttered in a low voice: "I was originally a storyteller, of course, I suddenly thought of women......"
Fortunately, Wei Xiao didn't hear this, and his attention had been attracted by the locked room.
The two of them walked quietly against the outer wall of the cabin, it was late at night, the lights in each room were gradually extinguished, and the ship was dark, only the red cage hanging under the eaves, still swaying in the night wind.
The snow is still falling, it has been snowing for three days and three nights, and it still shows no signs of stopping.
White snowflakes fall silently from the night sky, adding a quiet and mysterious beauty to the night voyage on the sea.
There was a thin layer of unmelted snow on the deck, and they stepped on it, and the snow made a soft cracking sound.
There was still a light at the stern of the boat, which was the light in Jiang Lao's room.
It was late at night, but the strange old man still hadn't slept.
Could it really be as Bai Qianyu said, he would sneak into the locked empty room next door in the middle of the night every day, count the money in the room alone, and let out a rueful laughter similar to that of a night owl?
Bai Qianyu made up such a picture, and the hairs on his body couldn't help but stand up.
She and Wei Xiao walked over slowly and quietly, leaned their bodies against the outside of the empty room, and listened with bated breath for a long time, which was quiet and silent.
She couldn't help but reach out and put her hand on the copper lock on the door, and the copper lock made a slight "click" sound!
Her heart jumped, and she waited again, but there was still no movement inside, so she grabbed the door with her hand and pulled the wooden door outward.
Suddenly, a faint, faint smoke drifted out of the door.
It has a faint blue color in the night sky.
Wei Xiao suddenly covered Bai Qianyu's mouth and nose with one hand and pulled her behind her!
Then slap it out the door with a palm!
With this palm, he used seventy percent of his strength, not only to scatter the wisps of poisonous smoke, but also to force the enemy inside the door to retreat, and he couldn't quickly pursue it.
After he slapped it out, it was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no movement in the door, only a very slight "bang".
Since there were people inside the door, they even cast poisonous smoke on them, Wei Xiao had to see what was going on no matter what.
He protected his chest with one hand, and as soon as his body moved, he was about to push the door in, but suddenly there was a heavy coughing sound from inside, and someone walked out of it!
Wei Xiao concluded that the person in the door must be a master, and he didn't dare to be careless at the moment, and he was about to shoot it out with one palm, and the snowflakes suddenly caught a glimpse of the man's slightly crouched figure, and a red dot in front of him, and immediately stopped his hand.
Bai Qianyu hid behind Wei Xiao, and couldn't help but see the person who came out of the door, and said in a lost voice: "Jiang Laojiao?"
Jiang Laojiao coughed heavily, cleared his throat, and looked at the two people in front of him: "Little Brother Wei, White Girl, why are you here?"
He carried a smoking gun in his hand, and a red flame was half-lit in front of his chest.
Wei Xiao arched his hand: "Uncle Turtle, when we were passing by here by accident, we heard that there seemed to be movement inside, and remembered that you always said that this room was originally an empty room, and I was afraid that someone would come in and attack this room and sneak things inside, so I came here to take a look." ”
He said it seriously, and Bai Qianyu had to hold back his laughter desperately.
Jiang Lao Turtle also politely arched his hand: "Thank you so much! Don't hide it from the little brother and the white girl, in my room, there are some treasures hidden in the past years to go to sea in various places, I am afraid that there are many people on the boat, so I put on the lock, and call it a treasury, these treasures are actually not worth much, but they are some memories of my years, I often can't help but come to take a look at it at night, touch it, and feel this sigh in my heart, the past is as vivid as I remember it." Sigh: "Alas, this is also an old age, which makes the two of them laugh!"
Wei Xiao nodded and said, "Memories are indeed the most precious treasure in life. ”
Bai Qianyu was curious: "Uncle Turtle, can you see the things inside without lighting the lights at night?"
Jiang Lao Turtle was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "No outsiders have come into this room for 20 years, I am very familiar with every minute and inch in it, every tool and object, and I can walk with my eyes closed.
Bai Qianyu glanced at the dark room behind him: "Uncle Turtle, the more you talk about me, the more curious I become, what are you seeing and thinking about?"
Jiang Lao Turtle immediately turned around and closed the door tightly, locked the copper lock with a "click", and said with a smile: "The white girl is really curious, no matter what, Uncle Turtle tonight, I can't sleep anyway, so it's better to accompany you two to chat!"
Bai Qianyu glanced at Wei Xiao shyly: "We're not ...... yet"
was interrupted by Wei Xiao: "It's snowing late at night, why don't we accompany Uncle Turtle to have a drink?" while holding her hand tightly.
Bai Qianyu became more and more shy, but there was a burst of sweetness in his heart.
Jiang Lao Turtle looked at the two of them with a smile and sighed: "I want to ...... back then." Uncle Turtle, I've been as young as you!"
Wei Xiao said: "When Qianyu got on the boat, I bought a bottle of 'Lotus Stamen' from Dongyao Town, and I went to get it. ”
"Slow!" Jiang Lao Turtle shouted to him: "That wine is very light, it's just a sweet wine, just coax you outsiders who have just come to Dongyao Town, I will call Xiao Qi to bring some good wine at the bottom of the box!"
Raised his feet and walked to the door of Jian Qi's room, took a cigarette gun and knocked on the door: "Xiao Qi!"
After a while, Jian Qi's lazy voice sounded in the room: "What's the matter, Uncle Turtle?"
Jiang Lao Turtle said: "Get up, take out the two bottles of good wine hidden under your bed!"
After a while, it seemed that Jian Qi turned over in the quilt: "What kind of wine do you drink in the middle of the night?" Uncle Turtle, if you are hungry, there are still two cucumbers in the kitchen for you to nibble on two mouthfuls to satisfy your hunger, and I will ...... tomorrow morning."
But Jiang Lao Turtle raised his voice and shouted: "I have your vacation now, I'm about to cramp if I'm lazy, if you don't open the door and bring the wine, I'll send you a job tomorrow!"
This trick was effective, and sure enough, in just a moment, Jian Qi's door had already opened, he poked his head out of the crack in the door, handed out two wine bottles, yawned and said, "Catch it! I'm going to freeze to death!"
Jiang Laojiao took the wine bottle from his hand: "I'll drink this wine with Little Brother Wei and the white girl, can you come?
As soon as Jian Qi heard this, a yawn suddenly stopped, and he woke up half from sleep: "Uncle Turtle, it's the first time you call me to drink! Come on, I'll come, wait for me!"
There was a sound of pulling the soles of his shoes in the room, and after a while, he saw Jian Qi's clothes buttoned up haphazardly and ran out of the house.
At this time, Jiang Laojiao and Wei Xiao had already laid a wool felt on the bow of the boat, there were two bottles of wine and four wine bowls on the felt, the wine had been opened, and the aroma of the clear wine floated out, and the three of them sat on the ground on the felt, and the snowflakes fell from the bow of the boat, falling on their heads, bodies, and yellowed old felt.
Jian Qi was rubbed one by one, squeezed into the middle of Jiang Laojiao and Wei Xiao and sat down, put his hands in his sleeves, yawned and said, "Why are you so interested, you don't sleep in the middle of the night and run out to drink?"
Wei Xiao said: "Don't open your mouth so wide, beware of snowflakes falling into your mouth." ”
Jian Qi was stunned, and obediently closed her mouth.
Jiang Laojiao, Wei Xiao, and Bai Qianyu laughed together.
Jian Qi said with a bitter face: "Brother Wei, you are in my Xiao Qi's mind, but you are a first-class hero, don't make fun of me!"
Jiang Lao Turtle pointed at him with a cigarette stick and said: "You don't understand this, a person likes to make fun of you and play tricks on you, which means that he feels that you are close in his heart, and he likes you...... Alas, I didn't understand this truth until a long, long time later. ”
Biting the cigarette stick, he glanced into the dark night in the distance.
That glance seemed to penetrate time and go back to a long, long time ago......
Jian Qi suddenly became excited, and said, "It turns out that Uncle Turtle wants to tell his own story!" Xiang Wei Xiao and Bai Qianyu said: "You don't know, I have been with Uncle Turtle for 20 years, and he is usually willing to tell me everything, including the technology of this boat, and he doesn't hide his secrets, but only his own story when he was young, but he is tight-lipped and has never told me half a word!
Happily picked up the wine bottle, poured wine into the four bowls one by one, and said: "This wine is called 'Dragon Paste Wine', it has been there since I was born, Uncle Turtle has been reluctant to drink, hidden under my bed, I have seen this wine since I was a child, and now he has taken it out, it is really the North Star that came out of the south!"
The wine was poured into the bowl, the wine was as black as pure lacquer, clear and bright, and a smell of wine became more and more distant in the snowy night.
Wei Xiaoqi said: "This kind of strange wine is rare. ”
Jiang Laojiao took a puff of cigarette and said slowly: "The world is so exaggerated, it sounds very powerful, such as the dragon bone soup, which is clearly pork bone soup, and for example, the phoenix claw, which is clearly chicken feet, and the dish is called 'dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder', and how could there really be a dragon's liver, the phoenix's gall, but it is just a snake liver pigeon gall, but my dragon anointing wine is a wine made from the gall of the dragon." ”
As soon as these words came out, Wei Xiao and the other three were all surprised, Wei Xiao said: "Could it be that Uncle Turtle once slayed a dragon when he was young? ”
Jiang Lao Turtle held the cigarette gun in one hand and sighed: "How can I have such the ability to slay dragons? Speaking of this dragon anointing wine, it is related to an old man." ”
The eyes of the three widened as they listened to him.
That was an untold story of Jiang Laojiao when he was young......
