Chapter 379 The story is over
In an instant, the surroundings were bright, the sky and the earth reappeared, and there was no longer any cave.
Mr. Chen was also awakened by the smell of wine.
He lowered his head and glimpsed the wine in the jar. His pupils suddenly dilated, and his hand loosened. Snap! The jar fell to the ground and broke into pieces!
Dense swarms of flesh worms swarmed as if looking for water, but the wine was absorbed by the soil once it was spilled. The worms struggled hard but were helpless, and died one by one from drying out.
Chen Sheng felt his stomach churning, as if there were worms surging, but he couldn't vomit anything. Then, he felt a tearing pain in his heart and lungs. He felt the blood in his body flowing backwards and replacing. He felt dizzy and fainted...
He could vaguely hear the echo of his childhood: "Daddy, which wine is the most fragrant?" "Hey, you little drunkard, a thousand-year-old wine and ten-thousand-year-old dregs are not as good as a pool of wine worm urine..." Wine worm, wine worm, he just thought it was a joke, but he didn't expect the legend to be true...
After an unknown amount of time, he woke up in a daze. When he opened his eyes, he saw his grandfather sitting beside the bed, looking worried. He was holding a spoon to feed him ginseng soup. Next to him was Xiao Li, who was kneeling on the ground sobbing and blaming himself. Seeing that Chen Sheng had woken up, he wiped his tears and said, "Boss, I found the old ginseng you asked me to buy. It's all my fault. I was so anxious to collect ginseng that I forgot about you. The doctor said you were injured by the poisonous miasma..."
"Wine... give me some wine..." Chen Sheng said these three words in a hoarse voice. Xiao Li did not hesitate and immediately poured a bowl of wine. Before he could pass it to his mouth, Chen Sheng grabbed the jar and gulped down a few big mouthfuls.
The fifty-year-old old man was hanging on for life, and after drinking several bottles of wine, he regained some vitality, but his cheekbones were red as if he had made up, which was clearly a sign of a last gasp. He grabbed his grandfather's hand and murmured, "Grandfather, the wine bug! The wine bug is actually real..."
The old grandfather was shocked. He had heard of the wine bug before. It was said that it could turn water into wine, which would have a fragrant aroma for thousands of years. But this was only something in nursery rhymes and no one had ever seen it.
If it is really the alcohol bug that is causing trouble in his body, then my grandson will not live long!
He was very sad.
Xiao Li on the side muttered to himself and hurriedly took out an old ginseng from his arms, "Boss, a hundred-year-old ginseng, a hundred-year-old ginseng has been found, it can definitely save your life..." He was trembling, with big drops of tears mixed with sweat.
Hearing about the century-old ginseng, the old grandfather seemed to have thought of something. He looked at the ginseng in his hand and quickly stood up.
"Quick, Xiao Li, carry Chen Sheng on your back and follow me to the wine cellar."
Xiao Li didn't bother to ask the reason. She wiped her tears, carried Chen Sheng on her back and followed him.
In the basement of the Tongmen inn, the dilapidated doors of the rooms were opened, and the three men came to a dark room. The chains on the door had been pried open. The old grandfather was startled, and glanced at Chen Sheng on Xiao Li's back. He understood something and asked Xiao Li to pull down his clothes to cover his mouth and nose.
When he pushed the door open, the aroma of wine gushed out. Even though he used three layers of cloth to cover it up, the refreshing fragrance was still captivating. Xiao Li could not bear it and his body swayed, but he managed to stay calm and put Chen Shengping on the ground.
In the huge wine cellar, there is only a cellar, an old wine jar, and three large black characters engraved on the mottled wall: Deep into the bones.
He recalled the rumors in the morning that the ancestor of the same inn had found a bottle of old cellar Rugu Mian deep in Qushan Mountain. The aroma of the wine could intoxicate people for seven days and seven nights, and it was like a fairy. Unfortunately, it was too dry and strong. If ordinary people drank it, the lucky ones would have their qi and blood activating and their lifespans prolonged, but the unlucky ones would have their yang energy dispersed and die instantly. Rumor has it that this wine was still lacking a flavor primer, but no one knew what the flavor primer was. Later, this old cellar was sealed, and the name Rugu Mian also faded from people's minds like a puff of smoke...
He immediately understood that Chen Sheng was looking for the century-old ginseng in order to use it in wine to neutralize the dryness of the wine and preserve the vitality, in order to restart this old cellar...
The alcohol bug in Chen's body seemed to smell the aroma of wine and started to become restless.
Upon seeing this, the old grandfather struggled to open the cork, and the aroma of wine suddenly filled his face. Chen Sheng struggled to crawl over, lay on the mouth of the jar, and wanted to open his mouth wide to drink.
The old grandfather shouted to Xiao Li to hold Chen Sheng tightly, and quickly threw the old ginseng into the wine jar.
Xiao Li used all his strength to hold Chen Sheng tightly, only to see that Chen Sheng's face was hideous and he retched. A flesh worm as thick as a finger came out of his mouth. The worm was snow-white, like mutton-fat jade, and it swayed and fell into the wine jar.
Mr. Chen exerted too much strength and passed out.
Look at the meat worm in the wine. It floats in the wine jar for a few times, then its body swells up and turns into a piece of white jade, sinking to the bottom.
Xiao Li trembled with courage, scooped up a ladle of wine and tasted it. It was like drinking nectar, refreshing. He felt a warm current running through his body, and all his meridians were unblocked.
He did not dare to delay and quickly helped Chen Sheng up and pinched his mouth to pour the liquid into his mouth.
…
A few days later, the Tongmen Inn was packed with people, and the door seemed to be trampled by drinkers. Xiao Li was leading a group of waiters to entertain the guests. Chen Sheng, who seemed to have just recovered from a serious illness, smiled. This time he had accidentally found the real wine bug. He glanced at the bustling crowd around him, then lowered his head to fiddle with his abacus. On the two lookout poles outside the door, the wine flags embroidered with Tongshan Shao and "Sweet and Sweet" fluttered in the wind.
Qin Si stopped talking. Yun Duo looked at him blankly. When she was sure that he had finished speaking, a smile immediately appeared on her face, and then she clapped her hands vigorously:
"Brother Xiao Si tells the story well and it's really interesting. It's different from the stories I usually hear."
Isn't it different? Who would have nothing better to do than tell such supernatural stories in front of children? It's not like they have nothing better to do.
Shi Feiye's expression looked a little different when she looked at Wang Liu. She probably usually told Yun Duo fairy tales, about princesses and princes, and had never told her this kind of story.
Ye Yuanzhi sternly clapped his hands, "Well told, this story is interesting."
Zhang Kai and Wei Tang both agreed with Ye Yuanzhi's statement, especially Zhang Kai, who looked at Qin Si with a bit of admiration, as if he had seen some rare species.
Zhang Pingwu is a thoughtful person: "Xiao Si has a good memory and expression ability. The story he tells is real and interesting."
Isn't it? When most people tell stories, they will inevitably repeat "and then" over and over. But Qin Si didn't do that. He spoke more like he was reciting a text and was very literary. The key is that he wasn't as stiff as reciting a text.
Qin Si revealed a slightly smug expression.
The comments were full of laughter:
'I'm sure this is Ye Zi's child. Didn't Ye Zi tell a similar story the last time she participated in the show? Hahaha, it must be told to Xiao Si as a bedtime story, and the child remembered it.'
'Everyone, look at Ye Zi's expression, it's so funny, that kind of 'I never thought that my family's affairs would be exposed to the outside world' expression, hahahahaha. '
