Chapter Twenty-Nine: Wine Heals Heartache
Jiuqu took off the gourd on his waist and threw it to Hou Xiaofeng, saying: "When people are too sad and sad, it can cause depression in the lungs, the main qi in the lungs, and the stasis is godless, just look at your appearance and know that you have something in your heart, if you don't want to say it, just drink a sip of wine!"
Hou Xiaofeng took the gourd, held it in his hand, and said gloomily: "Wine leader, I don't know how to drink, thank you for your kindness, I'm really fine, I'll be fine in a while", said and squeezed out a smile. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He stuffed another strip of dried meat into his mouth, chewed it, and said, "Brothers, this boy wants to join my good wine caravan, but he doesn't drink the wine, do you agree?"
When everyone heard this, they all started to coax: "Drink, drink, drink!"
Hou Xiaofeng couldn't get over, so he had to pull out the wine stopper, put the wine gourd under his nose, and only to smell an extremely strong aroma accompanied by a spicy smell from his nose to his throat, choking Hou Xiaofeng coughed again and again.
Someone in the crowd immediately laughed: "Haha, this kid seems to have really never drunk alcohol, today you are lucky, the first sip of wine was the wine leader's medicine gourd wine, this is not something everyone can drink." ”
Another person licked his tongue and said, "Wine leader, can you let me get over my addiction and satisfy my cravings?"
Out of nowhere, he took out a gourd and threw it to the man and said, "If you want to drink it, drink it, take it!"
The man took the gourd, weighed it with his hand for a long time, picked up the wine stopper and sniffed it again, and finally stuffed the wine stopper tightly, and said: "The wine leader is ever-changing, I just smell the taste, don't drink it, don't drink it." ”
There was immediately a burst of laughter from the crowd, and someone coaxed: "Cowardly, cowardly, dare not drink!"
The face of the person who was going to drink was red, and he shouted: "Who of you doesn't encourage anyone to drink, who dares, who dare?"
Someone snorted: "The medicinal gourd wine can make you drink until you are refreshed to the sky, and you can't get up from the ground if you can drink it, who knows what kind of wine is in this medicinal gourd? ”
This gang of people made such a fuss, Hou Xiaofeng didn't dare to drink it even more, he didn't expect that there were still these doors in this wine.
Seeing that Hou Xiaofeng was still hesitating, Jiuqu shouted at everyone: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, how can there be all the mess you said", everyone stopped making trouble after listening to Jiuqu, and the two people who had just raised the bar continued to chat as if nothing had happened.
Jiuqu got up and came to Hou Xiaofeng, took a sip of the wine gourd from Hou Xiaofeng's hand, stuffed it back into Hou Xiaofeng's hand and said, "Drink it, it's okay, drink it and feel better." ”
Hou Xiaofeng's heart was horizontal, and he raised the wine gourd is a big sip, although the wine smelled fragrant, there was only a spicy taste left when he drank it, although this spicy energy was domineering, but it was not exciting, like a hot warm current that rushed straight to Hou Xiaofeng's chest, and then flowed into the abdomen, and finally swept through the whole body, making him feel that there was a warm air flow around his body, which was hot but not dry, Zhang but not crazy, and slowly rose until his brain, Hou Xiaofeng felt a little dizzy, and he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes.
I had no dreams, and when Hou Xiaofeng woke up, it was already dark, and the caravan and horses had been stationed, and it turned out that Hou Xiaofeng drank that sip of wine, and it was already a day's sleep.
The wagons had been gathered, torches had been lit in the middle, and the group was arranging something around them, and it seemed that they were going to set up camp here tonight.
Seeing that Hou Xiaofeng woke up, Jiuqu came over and asked, "How is it, Hou Xiaofeng, is my wine okay?"
Hou Xiaofeng slept this night, feeling tired and completely gone, although the injury was inevitable, but he didn't feel breathless in his chest, so he replied: "Thank you team leader, it's really fine now." ”
The corners of Jiuqu's mouth raised: "Thank you, I have all kinds of wine here, if you marry a daughter-in-law in the future, I will give you a pot of wine to ensure that you are satisfied." ”
Hou Xiaofeng said embarrassedly: "That, wine leader, is there any work I can help with?"
Jiu Qu waved his hand, patted Hou Xiaofeng's shoulder, and said: "They are my buddies, call me the wine leader, you are only temporary, just call me Brother Jiu, if you really don't want to go, help Xiao Ji paste the sticker paper", Jiu Qu said and pointed in Xiao Ji's direction.
Hou Xiaofeng walked in the direction of Xiao Ji, full of gratitude to Jiu Koji in his heart, if he hadn't followed this caravan, he didn't know how much trouble he would have encountered.
Because of Hou Xiaofeng's "heroic" deeds of sleeping for a day after only taking a sip of wine, all the guys in the wine team remembered him at once, so when he walked to Xiao Ji's side, Xiao Ji smiled and said: "Oh, one bite down brother, why are you here." ”
These guys like to make jokes, Hou Xiaofeng felt that this made him feel very unfamiliar, and laughed at himself: "See laugh, see laugh, Brother Wine asked me to help you paste talisman paper." ”
Xiao Ji gave half of the rune paper in his hand to Hou Xiaofeng, and taught him to paste it, Hou Xiaofeng had seen rune paper before, but he didn't know what to use it for, and asked Xiao Ji for advice while working: "This rune paper can't prevent thieves, anti-bandits, why do you use it?"
Xiao Ji deliberately made his voice weird: "If it's really a thief, a mountain bandit, I'm not afraid, I'm afraid of those mountain spirits and wild ghosts!" , Xiao Ji is not much older than Hou Xiaofeng, he was the youngest in this caravan, and now as soon as Hou Xiaofeng comes, he is a generation older, so he teases Hou Xiaofeng and scares him.
Hou Xiaofeng asked, "Have you seen the mountain spirits and wild ghosts?"
Xiao Ji heard the spirit: "Although I haven't seen it, but I have heard a lot of old people in the caravan, let me tell you, it is said that the mountain spirit looks like a person, and can learn to speak!"
Hou Xiaofeng followed Xiao Ji's example and pasted the rune paper, and then asked: "Is there someone pretending to be a ghost, those are originally people." ”
Xiao Ji explained: "No, the mountain spirit is not afraid of death, the mountain spirit has a seed on its body, and after death, another mountain spirit can grow", Xiao Ji said the same as what he saw with his own eyes.
Hou Xiaofeng knew that some people had unpredictable abilities, and the fairies and ghosts in the eyes of these outsiders were all because these people showed their true skills, so it was not strange, but he said indifferently: "You have traveled to so many places, and you will definitely see something that ordinary people have never seen." ”
Xiao Ji smiled: "That's, that's, if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, I'm afraid I won't believe some things", Xiao Ji saw Hou Xiaofeng finish pasting the rune paper in his hand, and continued: "Go, follow me to collect the red and white bags." ”
It is estimated that Xiaoji is usually responsible for these trivial matters alone, but now Hou Xiaofeng follows him and asks him a few words from time to time, which makes him feel a little proud, so many things do not wait for Hou Xiaofeng to speak, and he begins to talk endlessly.
Xiao Ji took out a cloth bag from the left and right of the truck and said: "These two are red and white bags, which are hung on both sides of the car, the left is a red cloth bag, which contains several pairs of red handkerchiefs, which are used to flush the joyful evil, and the right is a white cloth bag, which contains the paper money of the underworld, which is used to flush the mourning, but only during the day it is hung and put away at night." “
Xiao Ji uncovered a piece of cloth wrapped in things on the roof of the car, and said: "There is a statue of Bai Ze carved on the roof of this car, Bai Ze knows the name, shape and exorcism of all ghosts in the world, so it is used to ward off evil spirits." “
Hou Xiaofeng and Xiao Ji were busy for a while, and also listened to him for a while, the two of them were properly arranged, and sat down against the fire, Hou Xiaofeng asked: "Xiao Ji, this caravan is just to transport some wine, can it be arranged like this?"
Xiao Ji said: "You don't know this, if you don't use ordinary wine, but there are some wines here that can only be brewed by wine leaders, these wines can be strict with the requirements for materials and timing, maybe the wine bait is buried in the mountains in the spring, and it is taken out and fermented in the autumn and then sealed in the lake, if we catch up with our caravan route changes, it will take three or five years to brew a jar." This wine is spiritual, and the mountain spirits and wild ghosts can smell this wine, and they all want to come and take two sips, and drinking this wine can improve a lot of cultivation. ”
Xiao Ji was saying that he was happy, Hou Xiaofeng felt that someone was coming from behind, Xiao Ji's feeling was much worse than Hou Xiaofeng's, and he didn't notice anyone at all, until the person slapped him on the head and didn't react.
"You know so much, I think the young master should let you make wine in the future!"
Xiao Ji was slapped and was about to get angry, but when he saw that it was Lao Weitou, he immediately laughed and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, hehe, I'll talk about it casually." ”
Lao Wei scolded: "Go, go, hurry back to your own position, it's time to keep vigil", Xiao Ji quickly got up and patted his buttocks, and ran to the periphery of the truck.
Old Wei Tou said to Hou Xiaofeng again: "Hou Xiaofeng, don't run around at night, let's get together for the night today, just call me if you have something." ”
Hou Xiaofeng asked, "What about Brother Jiu? Why haven't you seen others?"
Old Wei Tou said: "When this kind of wild camping, the young master of wine goes to the outermost periphery, with his protection, our caravan has not had an accident, you find a place to rest by yourself, and I will also get my position." ”
Hou Xiaofeng sat by the fire alone, slept all day during the day, and now he has no sleep, the guys are scattered around, listening to Lao Wei Tou said that he was guarding the formation, it is estimated that it is also a formation, the surroundings are very quiet, I don't know if they are all asleep.
Hou Xiaofeng looked at the dancing flames, imagining what his future would look like, and he didn't know how long it took, and he also fell asleep.
