Chapter Seventy-One: Guilt

"Ha Luha!" The man surnamed Wei saw Xu Mo's expression, and suddenly laughed, "I'm kidding, Mr. Xu is too careful." ”

Xu Mo couldn't help but hear him say this, and the worry in his heart did not diminish at all, and he thought: "There is a wine cellar not far behind me, and before I came back, I don't know if these two people found out, but looking at this scene, it seems that they haven't found it yet." In any case, these two people are not indistinguishable, and there is so much wine in the cellar, if they see it, they don't know what kind of trouble will happen. ”

His cellar was built on a pit, but it had been dug at the edge of the slope so that it was almost flush with the middle. When I went down further, there were a lot of stones in the ground, which were too hard to dig out, so I didn't dig deeper.

Then he built a shelf out of wood on the top, broke the branches and put them on the shelf, and spread the dead grass on the branches. It's very simple, and you can see it at a glance as long as you walk by it.

But Xu Mo never thought that someone would come to this deep mountain when he built it, and the reason why he built this wine cellar was just to shelter from the rain. Who would have thought that they would accidentally leave this hidden danger.

Xu Mo glanced at the two of them, and thought: How can I think of a way to delay the current time? As long as they don't let them discover the existence of the wine cellar for the time being, as soon as they leave, I will take the monkeys with me to move the wine in the wine cellar.

The man surnamed Chu reached into his backpack and touched it, took out two packs of compressed biscuits and a box of canned marching food, put them in front of Xu Mo, and said with a smile: "We drank Mr. Xu's wine, and there is nothing to repay, this bit of food can be regarded as an exchange." After a pause, he continued: "We don't have much to eat, so we can't give more, sorry." ”

Xu Mo glanced at the two things lightly, and thought: Where can this kind of food still enter my mouth? But this surnamed Chu is still a good person, much better than the one surnamed Wei.

Mango had been standing behind Xu Mo, helping him scratch his hair and catch lice, and when he saw the novelty, he couldn't help but 'chirp' twice, and stretched out his paw to point at the compressed biscuits and marching cans.

Xu Mo glanced back at Mango and smiled, "Do you want it?" As he spoke, he picked up the compressed biscuits and the canned cans of marching food and handed them to Mango. Mango was in his arms, but he didn't recognize what it was, and a pair of small eyes looked left and right, and looked again, dripping and turning.

The surnamed Chu continued: "I have something here, I want to ask Mr. Xu about it." ”

Xu Mo turned his face to look at him, waiting for him to continue, but he didn't speak.

The man surnamed Chu continued: "Mr. Xu has lived in this place for so long, I wonder if he has seen anything strange in Lu Dao?"

Xu Mo's face was puzzled, "Strange things, I don't know what Mr. Chu is referring to?"

The surnamed Chu hesitated slightly, it seemed that there were some things that were not convenient to say, and after thinking about it, he still said tentatively: "For example... Some animals you've never seen before?"

"Not really. Xu Mo shook his head, but somehow, he thought of the cave in the nearby valley, and thought: These two people may be here for the monster in the cave, should I tell them about the cave?

I hesitated in my heart, and I couldn't make up my mind for a while.

"Oh!"

The surnamed Chu Wenyan didn't seem to doubt it, but there was a look of disappointment on his face. He thought for a moment, and then said, "We are going to live here for a while, and we will have to trouble Mr. Xu in the future." ”

Xu Mo said noncommittally: "It's easy to say." ”

The man surnamed Chu smiled, and then said, "In that case, let's be neighbors with Mr. Xu and set up a tent here." ”

Xu Mo was shocked when he heard this: If I set up the tent here, wouldn't I have no time to transfer the wine?

At the moment, he stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the lake, "There is a lake there, the scenery is beautiful, and it is the most suitable for setting up tents." ”

He often went to the lake to exercise his sense of touch, so that the two of them went to live by the lake, and the exercise of his sense of touch would inevitably be affected, but at this time, for the sake of the wine in the cellar, he had to temporarily separate the two people, but he couldn't care so much.

The surnamed Wei smiled, "No need, we live with Mr. Xu, this wine..." ”

Xu Mo listened to the meaning of his words, as if he regarded his wine as his, and drank it as he wanted, his face was ugly, and he didn't answer.

The man surnamed Chu stood up, "It's getting dark, let's put the tent out first." Is there anything Mr. Xu would recommend around here?"

Xu Mo then stood up and pointed straight ahead, "There's a flat place there, suitable for pitching a tent. Not far behind him was the wine cellar, and he didn't want the two men to go in that direction.

But the man surnamed Wei was very cunning, pointed behind Xu Mo, and said to the man surnamed Chu: "I think that direction is better, Lao Chu, let's go over there and set up a tent." As he spoke, he smiled at Xu Mo.

When Xu Mo saw his smile, he felt an indescribable disgust, but he had no way to stop it, otherwise, he was afraid that these two people would be even more suspicious.

The man surnamed Chu nodded when he heard this, and actually agreed, "It's okay." With that, he and the surnamed Wei took their backpacks, crossed Xu Mo, and walked in the direction of the wine cellar.

Xu Mo was in a hurry, but he had no choice but to follow behind them, and at the same time secretly prayed in his heart that these two people would not look into the cellar.

His cellar was covered on all sides, with only a small door, which, if not opened and looked in, would have been a low shack and would not have been found to contain fine wine.

The two of them quickly walked to the side of the wine cellar, and the man surnamed Wei glanced at the shack, turned around, and said to Xu Mo, "What is this? Is it a thatched house?"

Xu Mo listened to his frivolous tone, and there was a hint of mockery and insult in his words, and he was angry in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

The man surnamed Wei had already opened the door of the wine cellar, and at a glance he saw the neat rows of wine jars inside, and was taken aback, and then he was overjoyed, and exclaimed, "A lot of wine." ”

Without asking for Xu Mo's consent, he took a jar of fine wine from the door, unsealed it, lowered his head and sniffed deeply into the jar, the aroma of wine penetrated from his nostrils, but rushed to all parts of his body, making people feel comfortable, and he couldn't help but praise loudly: "Good wine!"

Xu Mo saw that what he was holding in his hand was the mulberry wine he had brewed before, and finally couldn't help but say, "If you want to drink, you should always ask me first, right?"

When the surnamed Wei heard this, he suddenly became angry, and slammed the wine jar in his hand to the ground, and with a 'snap', the wine jar smashed on a sharp stone, shattered, and the wine quickly flowed to the ground, and in an instant, the air was full of the smell of wine.

The man surnamed Wei turned his head, looked at Xu Mo coldly, and sneered: "What, you don't want to?" said and stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the pistol on his waist.

The man surnamed Chu suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed it on his hand, and persuaded: "Old Wei, dissipate your anger, is it worth it for a jar of wine?"

When the surnamed Wei saw his eyes, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, a puzzled look appeared on his face, and he wanted to speak again and again, and wanted to ask the surnamed Chu several times, but finally couldn't help but didn't speak. The hand on the pistol was released.

Xu Mo's eyes were sharp, and although the expressions of these two people changed slightly, and they were hidden, they were still seen by him.

The man surnamed Chu then turned to Xu Mo and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, my friend is a little short-tempered, if there is anything excessive, please bear with me." ”

Before Xu Mo could answer, the man surnamed Wei had already said coldly again: "Drink your wine, that's to look up to you, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will rise up, and all of it will be smashed for you." ”

Xu Mo was annoyed in his heart, looked at the pistol on the waist of the surnamed Wei, and did not speak, but he was secretly thinking in his heart.

When the man surnamed Wei saw him like this, he only thought that he was afraid, so he didn't care about him anymore, and said to the man surnamed Chu: "Old Chu, let's set up our tent here." ”

The person surnamed Chu didn't object, "It's okay." ”

Then he said to Xu Mo: "Lao Wei is a little straight, but he just talks about it, and he doesn't have any malice in his heart, Mr. Xu don't mind." After a pause, he said, "I will look at him next, Mr. Xu rest assured, he will not drink casually anymore." ”

Xu Mo responded lightly, sneering in his heart, but his face was silent.

The two men took the tent out of their backpacks, cleared an open space next to the cellar, and got to work.

Xu Mo had no way to take them for a while, so he didn't say a word at the moment and walked back.

When the man surnamed Chu saw him walk away, he greeted him loudly: "Mr. Xu, when we finish setting up the tent, come over and have something to eat together?"

"I got it. Xu Mo left such a sentence and left without looking back.

When the man surnamed Wei saw him go away, he whispered to the man surnamed Chu: "Old Chu, you just glanced at me, what does that mean?"

The man surnamed Chu also whispered: "Let me ask you first, what do you want to do when you reach out and press on the pistol?"

The man surnamed Wei said disapprehantly: "Of course I shot him, damn! I didn't know that there was so much wine here, otherwise how could I talk so much nonsense to him? Beat him to death, aren't all these fine wines ours? Drink it yourself, take it out and sell it, let's make our own decisions, don't we just do what we want?"

"No interest!" the man surnamed Chu scolded, and then asked, "I ask you, how much wine is in the cellar?"

The man surnamed Wei thought for a while, and then said, "How come there are dozens of altars, a hundred altars." ”

The surnamed Chu sneered: "What can you do even if it is a hundred jars? No matter how much wine there is, there will always be a day when you finish drinking, and you beat this surnamed Xu to death, where can we get this kind of wine?"

The man surnamed Wei's eyes lit up when he heard this, "You mean to say..."

The man surnamed Chu had already guessed what he wanted to say, nodded, and continued: "Of course it's the formula, you mentioned it not long ago, why did you forget it?"
