Although the wine was not expensive, it was a pastime. He would rather spend the money on his family than buy wine for entertainment.
Moreover, drunkenness leads to mistakes.
Xie Xing ignored him and continued, "A good drink can dispel a thousand sorrows. Practicing martial arts when you're unhappy is bad for your health. It's better to have a drink and let yourself sleep peacefully."
"Brother Xie, have you heard that drinking alcohol is harmful to health?"
Under the long corridor, the figure in blue gradually approached.
He stopped and sat down at the stone table. "A little wine is fine, as long as you don't overindulge."
Wan Ziyan poured himself a glass and raised it to drink with the two of them.
Xie Xing did not object and raised his glass.
Chen Yongnian was also led by the two to raise their glasses and drink it down in one gulp. The strong liquor burned his throat and made his head feel a little dizzy.
He felt as if he were floating in the clouds, and his worries vanished in an instant.
Wan Ziyan stopped Xie Xing from drinking more, "Brother Xie, have you found a way to get to Lian Mountain?"
Xie Xing poured himself a glass, his brow furrowing slightly as he held it. "Yes, but it's difficult!"
He drank it all in one gulp, then slammed the glass down on the table.
Startled by the blow, Chen Yongnian stood up and said, "I'll go! I'll go no matter how difficult it is, as long as I can save my wife."
"Climbing steep cliffs is fraught with danger; one wrong step and you could be smashed to pieces."
Wan Ziyan felt that Chen Yongnian should not be allowed to do such a dangerous thing; he could not be allowed to get into trouble.
“I’m not afraid. I’ve climbed similar mountains before.”
Upon hearing this, the two thought that Chen Yongnian was probably drunk and that's why he was talking nonsense.
But Chen Yongnian was not lying.
One year, in order to obtain a medicinal ingredient to treat Wan Qiqi's illness, he did indeed climb a sheer cliff.
He has experience with this.
Before he could explain, he fell asleep on the table due to the effects of the alcohol.
Wan Ziyan sighed softly, his eyes suddenly hardening, and his voice becoming much more serious: "Have you found the person?"
"Do you think it's so easy for government officials to investigate?" Xie Xing also drank a cup, as if drinking wine were water.
"The county magistrate, the county assistant magistrate, or perhaps the county lieutenant?"
"Brother Wan, you've got some nerve, saying something like that."
"What's the problem? If an official is corrupt and colludes with bandits, it's enough to implicate nine generations of his family. Why should I be afraid?"
Xie Xing smiled without saying a word and continued drinking.
