Su Qi took out a small jar of Lihuabai liquor, opened the lid and a rich aroma of liquor wafted out.
Gu Beiheng fished out a piece of hot pot mutton, held it up with his chopsticks, and said loudly, "This mutton is so fragrant. It would be so delicious if it was cooked in a pot. It's better than some people who always like to eat it raw, right?"
"Try to make another drink, and I'll brew a different wine for you next time." Su Qi said with a smile, "There are no sheep here. At most, people can eat geckos and snakes raw."
The old man with chains rolled his eyes countless times. Does he like to eat them raw?
Who doesn’t want to eat delicious food?
In this cold underground cave, is there any hot food? God knows, just the smell is unbearable.
"That girl. You guys can't finish it, right?"
Su Qi didn't drink alcohol, she drank soy milk.
A must-have drink for spicy hot pot, she said with a half-smile: "Grandpa. After finishing the meat dishes, I'll put some noodles in to cook. The taste is just like the life of a god."
Gu Beiheng drank the wine in the glass with a gulp.
The anxious old man was jumping up and down.
"Give me, an old man, a bite to eat. How about just one bite?" The old man in chains scratched his ears and cheeks and jumped up and down, and the chains on his body made a clanging sound.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng exchanged glances.
"That's fine. I have a kind heart after all." Su Qi scooped up half a bowl of meat and vegetables, and poured a bowl of pear blossom white tea.
Gu Beiheng jumped over with a bowl in one hand and a wine cup in the other.
A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the chained old man, and his palm attacked Gu Beiheng with overwhelming force.
Fortunately, Gu Beiheng was well prepared and knew that the old man with chains must have a trick up his sleeve.
The wine cup in his hand flew over and his body fell backward and hung on the stone.
The bowl in his hand was held steadily.
Su Qi didn't care.
She was worried about Gu Beiheng in her heart, but she looked calm and pretended not to care.
He glanced coldly at the old man in chains.
Su Qi made a provocative gesture towards him, "You villain who attacked me from behind. No wonder you're locked up here without seeing the sun."
The old man with chains was holding the cup of white wine.
He didn't care about Su Qi's sarcasm and abuse towards him.
There was a flash of surprise in his eyes. The man in front of him was only in his early twenties.
Both Kung Fu and reaction ability are very fast.
He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
He poured his internal energy into the wine glass and shot it straight towards Gu Beiheng's upside-down feet.
At the critical moment.
Gu Beiheng did a somersault, turned around the cliff, and landed on a nearby rock. The wine cup fell into the underground river below.
Crash.
Several saw-toothed fish leaped over.
He swallowed the wine cup in one gulp.
Su Qi's eyes widened as she watched.
If this falls, won’t it become fish food?
Gu Beiheng was still fighting with the old man in chains.
His kung fu wasn't as good as the old man with the chains, but Gu Beiheng had more experience fighting on the battlefield.
In addition, the old man was locked up with iron chains, which allowed him to avoid his attacks several times.
at last.
The old man in the chain stopped fighting.
"Boy. I'm so tired. Give me the bowl." The old man with chains saw that Su Qi was still eating with hearty mouthfuls. If he continued to beat him, he would not even have any soup to drink.
Su Qi said coldly:
"You beat my man and want to eat the food I cooked. No way."
She stretched out her delicate hand towards Gu Beiheng, "Beiheng, come back."
Gu Beiheng jumped up and landed next to Su Qi with a bowl in his hand. They sat there to eat.
The old man in chains was so angry that he jumped up and down and scolded Su Qi for not knowing how to respect the elderly.
Su Qi would never tolerate his bad habits.
This old guy is very bad. Many people here died early because of him.
I've eaten and drunk enough.
Su Qi put all the pots and pans into the bag.
The chained old man watched her packing the things into her bag, wondering why these two people carried pots and pans everywhere they went.
Leaning against the wall, he looked at Su Qi and the others weakly.
"Hey. Don't go to the south. You're looking for death there." The old man with chains touched his belly and reminded Su Qi.
Su Qi's mind moved.
"We want to leave here, how do we get there?"
"Someone designed to bring you down, right? It's very difficult to get out of here. No one has left alive since I got here. The only exception is the robber's family." The old man with chains thought of the cruel father and son.
"Master Ban?"
"Ban, right?" The chained old man couldn't quite remember his last name. "Girl, is there anything to eat?"
The old man with chains didn't know what he was thinking about, and suddenly became very lonely.
Su Qi took out two steamed buns and a few pieces of jerky from the space and handed them to Gu Beiheng.
Gu Beiheng jumped over again.
This time the chained old man did not attack Gu Beiheng.
He picked up the steamed bun and started eating it in big mouthfuls. "It smells so good."
There was a rustling sound not far away.
The chained old man's expression changed, "The girl is in danger."
He simply waved his hand and sent Gu Beiheng back.
The stone under Su Qi's feet actually shrank back.
Fortunately, the old man with the chains waved his hand in time, and Gu Beiheng hugged Su Qi and they both fell down.
When it's about to reach the water surface.
Lift your foot and jump up.
The dagger in his hand slashed towards the cliff wall.
The chained old man yelled, "Come to me."
The fish in the dark river jumped up.
Gu Beiheng held Su Qi in his arms, gritted his teeth, and used the jumping fish's head to gain leverage, then leaped to the chained old man again.
But the stone under his feet also shrank back.
The old man with the iron chain locked Gu Beiheng's feet with the iron chain, "Boy. You have good kung fu and better reaction ability than me."
Gu Beiheng used the force of the iron chain to step on it, holding Su Qi in one hand. The three of them, along with the old man with the iron chain, hung on the cliff.
The old man with chains threw the last bite of steamed bun into his mouth.
He looked at Su Qi slowly and said:
"Do you know why those who come here can't survive? Even if they don't die, they will be swallowed by endless despair."
"What's wrong with this stone?"
"The Hang family's mechanical skills were renowned hundreds of years ago. However, the family rule of passing on skills to males rather than females led to their gradual decline. Later, they were framed by others, angering the imperial court.
Eventually, they hid in the deep mountains and old forests. Yunzhou City is home to more than just Medicine City. The chained old man burped, his cracked lips still grumbling. "What's the Ban family? They just stumbled upon this place by accident and took advantage of the Hang family's inexperience."
Su Qi took a bottle of beer and gave it to him.
"Here, drink this wine. It will quench your thirst."
The old man with chains took it and drank it in one gulp.
His wise eyes looked at Su Qi and Gu Beiheng, "You two are different from other people I have met. You have each other in your hearts."
"I have a bottom line. I also have a conscience, although it's not much." The old man in chains finished his beer in one breath and burped loudly.
Su Qi was speechless:
"You have no conscience."
The current dilemma is how to get out of here.
Looking around, there was no place to stand. The water in the underground river was rising.
The path opposite was also flooded with water.
The serrated fish in the water kept slapping the surface of the water, grinning at the three people hanging on the cliff.
There is no place to stand in the entire cave.
Su Qi looked at this scene with a headache.
"Grandpa, is the water level of the underground river rising on purpose?" Su Qi thought of the head of the Ban family.
The chained old man sneered, "You really think highly of that father and son. The rising water level of the underground river was designed by the Hang family to protect their secret manual."
"How long can even the most powerful person survive here?"
"In an hour, the water level will drop. Then you'll step on my head to climb up." The chained old man tossed the jerky into his mouth, looked up at Gu Beiheng and said, "Boy, are you interested in obtaining the Hang family's secret manual of mechanical devices?"
"I see, old man, that you too have fought on the battlefield. You are still very ambitious. If you have the secret manual of the Hang family's mechanical devices, you will be even more powerful."
