Chapter 15: Little B Depot
Zeng Xiaoyi drove the ox cart slowly home. Xiao Yi is a native of the city, his parents are dead, he works hard every day in a wine shop, fortunately, his ancestors have the winemaking skills handed down, Xiao Yi also adheres to the idea of small profits and quick turnover, and the business is doing well. Baiyaotang ordered an urn of wine from him every day, drinking it himself or making medicinal wine, Zeng Xiaoyi's business was doing well, but he never got married, and the matchmakers in the city broke the door, but he still didn't agree.
This is because Zeng Xiaoyi has a secret, he has a disease of inaction. The root of the disease fell from the hard work of the early years, but since the opening of the Baiyao Hall, it has a very good reputation among the residents of the city, and Zeng Xiaoyi also came here to try. The doctor of Baiyaotang learned that Zeng Xiaoyi was a wine-making family, and after tasting Zeng Xiaoyi's good wine in person, he placed an order to buy an urn of good wine from Zeng Xiaoyi every day. The medical skills of the doctor of Baiyaotang are really as people say, and after cooperating with Zeng Xiaoyi's good wine, he concocted an excellent aphrodisiac wine. Now Zeng Xiaoyi has to drink some every day when he goes home, not only to warm up his body and dispel the cold, but also to feel more and more intense below, Zeng Xiaoyi feels that he will have a day to recover sooner or later, and he is in a very good mood.
When he returned home, the empty urn was washed and placed neatly, Zeng Xiaoyi went back to the house to drink with the roast chicken and fish he bought, but he didn't find that the door of his cellar was quietly opened, and an invisible thing slipped in, and then the door was closed again.
The white fox is a good wine, so he can naturally smell what good wine is, and in the years he was in the house, he would drink the wine left by the owner of the house every day. The people who can afford to buy that house will naturally not be short of money, and the wine stored in the cellar is naturally good wine, and over time, the white fox will become a gluttonous worm in the wine, and he will not drink it unless it is a good wine. Although there is fine wine in Master Lu's house, and there is even spiritual wine concocted from rare medicinal herbs to drink, Ma Yichun and Niu Er have to forcibly take their own share every time, although they don't say all, at least forty percent of their own share is divided by them.
The white fox is a good drinker, where can he endure such a, plus Niu Er has a bad temper after drinking, and often bullies himself, so he has a plan to leave home.
The white fox came to Zeng Xiaoyi's house in an ox cart, his nose sniffing in the air, and the familiar aroma of wine intoxicated him. Avoiding the old ox pulling the cart, the white fox carried the stealth into the cellar, because by the smell of the air, he found that there was good wine hidden inside.
The cellar was dark, there was no light, but for the white fox, everything was not a problem, closing the cellar door, a pair of bright big eyes flickered like a light bulb, looking at the hundreds of large wine urns in the cellar, he couldn't stop sneering, Grandpa Hu's good luck came!
The white fox walked between the wine urns with his steps, as if he were inspecting the generals of the army. The wine urns were very tall, each four feet high, but this height was not as high as that of a white fox. The white fox jumped lightly, jumped on the Weng elegantly, and sniffed it on the mud seal with his pointed nose, ten years, don't, twenty years, put it aside, thirty years, not bad, forty years, good things, fifty years, okay, Grandpa Hu will drink it tonight!
The white fox swept the dust on the wine urn with his big tail, bit the hemp rope on the outside of the mud seal with his teeth, and carefully smashed the edge of the mud seal with his little paws, for fear that a little bit of dirt would fall into the wine urn. Remove the sealing mud, chaff shell, hemp rope on the wine urn, and then remove the lotus leaves that have long been shriveled, a strong fragrance comes out through the mouth of the urn, the white fox eagerly looks inside, fifty years of aging, the wine has already turned into amber, with fish scales, an urn of wine is only a little more than half left, so anxious that the white fox grabs the edge of the urn and uses a small paw to fish, the wine is in the mouth, the fragrance comes out through the nose, and even turns into a mist overflowing from the Tianling cover, good wine! It is really good wine! The white fox burped with satisfaction, if only there was a little more appetizer.
On the second day, Zeng Xiaoyi got up on the third pole on the day, last night he was greedy for a cup, drank a little more, and there was a fish on the table that didn't move, so he would use it to cook tonight. Coming out of the guest room, Zeng Xiaoyi looked at the table, hey, the fish is gone? Did he eat it last night? I was dizzy from drinking last night, I can't remember if I really ate it, and then looked at the table, only an empty plate was left on the table, and there was not a single fish bone. If you eat fish yourself, you won't spit out your bones, right? Could it be that there was a thief in your home?
Thinking of this, Zeng Xiaoyi hurriedly ran to the place where the money was hidden, took out the floor tiles, opened the baggage, and stayed in it with the silver. I was wondering, since the money is still there, where did the fish go? I heard someone outside laughing, "Xiao Yi, your family has made good wine again?" "Xiao Yi, this wine is so fragrant, how much does it cost?" "No one has been shouting for a long time, it is estimated that Xiao Yi is not there, everyone is scattered." ”
Zeng Xiaoyi heard this, pushed the door and went out of the house, everything was as usual in the yard, the high wall surrounded the yard, the courtyard door was closed, the people outside could not see the inside, the old cow was still eating hay in the shed, but Zeng Xiaoyi's face changed suddenly, and he smelled the smell of wine in the air.
After brewing wine for many years, I don't know this taste, Zeng Xiaoyi has lived in vain, and the air is clearly filled with the aroma of good wine that his family has kept secret for 50 years! Zeng Xiaoyi eagerly ran to the cellar in the backyard, and there were a few paw prints left by the cellar door. Fox or dog? Zeng Xiaoyi went down to the cellar with a black face, hoping that the unknown creature would not destroy his own wine storage. The wine of Zeng Xiaoyi's wine shop tastes good, but it is all blended by the vintage wine in Tibet.
Zeng Xiaoyi held the candle and carefully lit the lamp in the cellar, the aroma of wine in the cellar was many times stronger than that outside, Xiaoyi felt distressed, at least a jar of good wine of fifty years was wasted. The lamp illuminates the cellar, the cellar is ventilated, and the vents bring the aroma of wine from the cellar to the courtyard, which makes the courtyard overflow with the aroma of wine.
Xiao Yi cautiously walked inside, the fragrance became stronger and stronger, a white figure appeared on the ground, Xiao Yi was startled, and looked at it, dragging a long big tail, plush, a pointed triangular face, it turned out to be a white fox! The little belly was bulging, the ground was scattered with fish bones, the small mouth was slightly open, and the rich smell of wine came out of it, and there was a small snoring!
Xiao Yi stepped forward a few steps and looked into the wine vat, only to see that half of the wine in the wine urn was still there, this fox had a good amount of wine, but after all, it was fifty years of wine, and he had already fallen asleep dizzily. The wine was okay and was not devastated, Xiao Yi hurriedly found something to tie the mouth of the urn first, and then carried the sleeping white fox out of the cellar door.
This fox is three feet long, snow-white, I don't know where it came from, it actually ran to his house to steal wine and drink, and also stole the fish he bought, Xiao Yi's heart was full of anger, and he thought to himself, this white fox has a good fur, so he simply stripped off its fur and made a fox fur to compensate for the loss of fine wine.
Brother Xiao Yi thought of doing it, and today's wine shop will not be opened, so he will dispose of this bold fox!
Xiao Yi found a sharp knife to kill chickens and fish from the house, and after not using it for many days, it had already rusted, so he had no choice but to tie the white fox to the pillar of the shed and sharpen the knife in the courtyard.
Zhengxiang, when the white fox was sleeping, heard a piercing sound coming into his ears, and couldn't help but move his ears, who made an ugly sound to disturb Grandpa Hu's sleep? The sound became louder and louder, and he couldn't help but open his misty eyes, only to see a person sharpening a knife in the courtyard, and the creaking sound woke him up, it was Zeng Xiaoyi, who delivered wine every day. I was wondering in my heart, how could this Xiao Yi sharpen his knife in the courtyard if he didn't go to brew wine, and saw Xiao Yi walking towards him with a serious face holding the knife, this is to kill himself? ! The white fox's dizzy head came to his senses and struggled eagerly, but unfortunately Xiao Yi had already tied the rope strongly, where could he move half a minute?
Seeing Xiao Yi come to him, holding a sharp knife and about to slash his neck, the white fox shouted eagerly, "Brother Xiao Yi spare his life!"
Zeng Xiaoyi's knife has been sharpened, seeing the white fox struggling on the pillar, but he can't get out, his heart is full of smiles, he holds the knife over, and is about to bleed the white fox, when he suddenly heard the fox call out his name, he was suddenly shocked, and the sharp knife in his hand fell to the ground. This fox can actually speak! Zeng Xiaoyi was stunned for a while.
"Where did you come from as a demon fox, and you dare to confuse me?!" Xiao Yi picked up the sharp knife that fell to the ground, and asked cautiously at the white fox with the head of the knife.
"Brother Xiaoyi, have you forgotten? I'm Xiao Hu of Baiyaotang, the one who opens the door for you every day!" The white fox was tied to the stake at the moment, and he couldn't tell the grievances in his heart.
"Baiyaotang?Xiaohu?" Zeng Xiaoyi's heart appeared as a handsome little guy who could speak well, and he chuckled in his heart, as if he remembered something bad, "Could it be that your Baiyaotang family is full of fox spirits!"
"What vixen? Who is the vixen?" the white fox had a dry mouth at the moment, and spoke eagerly, "I have lived in the house for five or six years, and my lord they just moved in two months ago. I'm an old man in this city. ”
"Two months ago?" Zeng Xiaoyi remembered, "Oh! You're the ghost in that haunted house?"
"What the hell are you going to do? I'm Xiaohu, the little Hu guarding the Hundred Medicine Hall!" the white fox began to argue.
Xiao Yi had already begun to believe in the white fox in his heart, put away the sharp knife, squatted down and asked, "You tell me in detail, why did you leave the Hundred Medicine Hall, and why did you appear in my wine cellar again?"
The white fox's situation is lower than that of people at the moment, where can he take care of concealing it, so he has to tell Zeng Xiaoyi about what happened to him in Baiyaotang, his hobby of drinking, how he stole the ox cart, and how he got drunk in the wine cellar, and when he finished speaking, he said aggrievedly, "Brother Xiaoyi, people have a dry mouth, can you give saliva to drink?"
Zeng Xiaoyi's eyes lit up when he heard the white fox talk about the process, and he hurriedly found a water cup to feed the white fox water, "According to what you say, this hundred medicine hall is full of masters who can do magic? That Master Lu is even more unfathomable?"
The white fox's body was still tied, and when he saw Xiao Yi asking, he had to nod.
Zeng Xiaoyi grew up in the market, and he has been yearning for these legendary masters of catching demons and refining ghosts since he was a child, and rubbed his hands excitedly, "Then I will return you, and you can worship the master as a teacher by the way!" Thinking of this, Zeng Xiaoyi clapped his hands happily.
The white fox finally slipped out, where was he willing to go back, and when he went back, he would be bullied by Niu Er again, and said eagerly, "Brother Xiaoyi, don't you want to learn spells? I'll teach you!"
"You?" Zeng Xiaoyi was happy, and was about to prepare an ox cart to take the white fox back to the Hundred Medicine Hall, and when he asked what was going on, he heard the white fox speak, "Can you teach me spells?" Xiao Yi put down the work in his hand and hurriedly put his face up.
In order to get out, the white fox nodded, looking at Zeng Xiaoyi with two eyes, it was really pitiful. "If you let me go, I'll tell you. ”
Zeng Xiaoyi gritted his teeth, "I'll put you down, you can't lie to me?" or I'll turn around and go to the doctor of Baiyaotang to arrest you!" Xiao Yi threatened the white fox.
The white fox was loosened and stretched, and was tied for a long time, and his blood was not smooth, and he needed to move. At this moment, when he heard Zeng Xiaoyi's question, he touched his beard and said, "Brother Xiaoyi, I am a fox demon, you may not be able to learn my spells, these are my natural abilities." ”
Zeng Xiaoyi was quite happy when he saw that the white fox didn't run at first, and nodded secretly in his heart: This fox is still trustworthy. But the white fox opened his mouth, and the words he said made Xiao Yi anxious, "How can you speak without keeping your promises? Didn't you promise me a good job just now?"
The white fox said, "Brother Xiaoyi, you promise me not to let me go back." I'll stay with you to help you do things, drink a little wine every day, and I'll give you one thing. With this in your hand, you can use spells. ”
Zeng Xiaoyi suddenly felt that there was no way out, and the white fox who said just now that he couldn't learn spells was okay again, and immediately grabbed the white fox's front paws, "Xiaohu, I promise you! Tell me quickly, how to learn spells?!"
The white fox sighed, who called himself indebted Zeng Xiaoyi? He broke free of Zeng Xiaoyi's hand and jumped into the courtyard in a few steps, "Brother Xiaoyi, since you are willing to take me in." My little Hu can be regarded as repaying the favor, you are optimistic!"
After saying this, the white fox silently recited the incantation in his mouth, and his whole body suddenly flashed with colorful light. The light was thin and small, not dazzling, and it was faintly visible that a transparent fox skin had faded from the white fox and landed on the ground. After the white fox took off the fox skin, his expression was decadent, his mouth was wide open, and he gasped, "Brother Xiaoyi, this time I really repay the favor." ”
Zeng Xiaoyi rubbed his eyes, stepped forward to pick up the transparent and silky fox skin, and asked suspiciously, "What is this?"
The white fox lay on the ground with a big belly, and opened his mouth to say, "Brother Xiaoyi, this is the fur that I have been practicing for many years, with my mana on it, you can wear it, and you can use my spells." ”
As soon as Zeng Xiaoyi heard this, he quickly put the fur on himself, only to see that the fur was put on Xiao Yi's body, like a ball of light yarn, quickly covering the skin of Xiao Yi's whole body, and the skin was covered with a faint fox hair, Zeng Xiaoyi looked like a big fox from a distance at the moment.
"How do you use this, what kind of spells are there?" Zeng Xiaoyi asked anxiously for the sake of the spell, not caring about his appearance.
The white fox opened his mouth and said, "I will have two spells now, one is the charm technique, which can lure others to see the illusion, and the other is the stealth technique, Xiao Yi, you silently think about stealth in your heart." As soon as the words fell, I saw Zeng Xiaoyi, who was like a fat fox in front of me, and disappeared after brushing it. The white fox looked eagerly left and right, "Brother Xiao Yi, Brother Xiao Yi!" Suddenly there was a chuckle from behind, his head hurt slightly, as if he had been beaten, the white fox immediately turned his head, there was no trace, and he knew that Xiao Yi was joking with himself, and said complainingly, "Brother Xiao Yi, don't tease me, okay." ”
Sure enough, a faint figure suddenly appeared three feet next to him, it was Zeng Xiaoyi, who got his fur, who was stroking the fur, and praised in his mouth, "Good treasure clothes!
The white fox said angrily, "Brother Xiaoyi, do you believe me now?"
Zeng Xiaoyi said happily, "Xiaohu, thank you for this treasure dress." You can live in peace in my house. ”
Everyone has a hero's dream, Zeng Xiaoyi got this treasure clothes that can be invisible, and used it nearby at night.
