After wearing the book, I fell in love with my rival at first sight
Chapter 37 Mei Xiang
Robbery in crisis
Years ago.
After Meng Guang took over Wanggui Building, the business has not been good.Gradually, even the old customers stopped coming.Meng Guang begged all over the town, but he couldn't help the poor. Everyone saw that he couldn't pay back the money and was unwilling to lend him the money.
At that time, one of his young men, named Li Liu, was working as an accountant at the Gaojia Escort Bureau next door, lending him money in real time.However, Wangguilou's business has failed to recover. Everyone said that the wine he brewed was sour and astringent, and no one wanted to drink it.
Meng Guang drank his sorrows by drinking every day. He was so poor that he wished he could die.
But even if he is like this, it is only natural to pay back the debts, and the interest is increasing. The evil slaves of the Gao family will occasionally come to collect the debts.In the end, the Gao family took a fancy to his house and asked him to sell it to pay off the debt.
On this day, Meng Guang rubbed his hands and said to the evil slave of the Gao family who came to make trouble with a smile: "Master, can't we give it a few more days?"
The evil slave ignored his flattery and shouted: "It's useless to say anything! Anyway, no one comes to your shabby shop. It's your luck that our uncle Gao is willing to give you face and take down the shop. Don't toast and refuse to eat." Drinking fine wine and making Mr. Gao anxious, even if you don't give you a penny, you still have to make room!"
Meng Guang hesitated for a while, took out some copper coins from his sleeve, and stuffed them into the man's hand. Just as he was about to ask him to help with a good word, the evil slave threw his copper coins to the ground and said angrily, "Send me for this idea? You Why don't you bribe my uncle Gao and see if he accepts it!"
Meng Guang crawled to the ground to dig out the copper coins that fell into the cracks of the planks, and the evil slave kicked him on the ass and kicked him to the other side of the hall: "Meng Guang, don't struggle, you really think you can fight!" Can you beat Mr. Gao? You look at other people's houses, and then look at your own. There is a huge difference between them! You still brew wine every day, and the wine you brew is bitter and astringent, and no one drinks it!"
"You can't talk about my wine..." Meng Guang murmured while lying on the ground.
"What did you say?"
"I said, you are not allowed to talk about my wine!" Meng Guang didn't know where the courage came from, and suddenly jumped up and wrestled with the evil slave.
The man didn't mind for a while, but he was pushed to the ground, and the saber at his waist was unhooked and slipped to the side.
In fact, this kind of ruthless debt collector has a sharp weapon. He wanted to get up to get it, but Meng Guang kicked the knife aside, stepped on his hand and asked, "Say, what is Gao Huai going to do?"
That evil slave was just the eagle dog of the Gao family. Seeing how tough Meng Guang was, he didn't want to lose his life for such a trivial matter, so he replied truthfully: "He came to the store to sell wine under your family's brand..."
"Nonsense, his family doesn't do this business at all, you nonsense!"
"It's true! The master said that the well in your house contains the secret method of brewing wine left by your ancestors. I don't know if it's true..."
Meng Guang looked at the well in his backyard, and the man hurriedly said, "Go and see if you don't believe me, maybe you can make good wine if you find the secret book."
"Then I'll trust you once." Meng Guang let go of his foot, turned and walked towards the backyard.
The evil slave quietly picked up the knife on the ground, with a fierce light in his eyes, he slashed at Meng Guang.When he came this time, he had already been instructed by Uncle Gao: If he refused to drink the toast, he would be fined.Now that he has suffered such a great humiliation, he immediately became murderous, intending to avoid future troubles forever.
Hearing the sound of him getting up and grabbing the knife, Meng Guang immediately turned around and hid. The evil slave slashed at nothing, but he didn't stop, and jumped up and slashed towards him forcefully.
Unexpectedly, the floor of the Wanggui building was in disrepair for a long time. He used such a big movement of jumping and chopping to smash the wooden board under his feet, and fell down, and the knife fell in Meng Guang's hand.
Meng Guang saw that he was killing every step of the way, and he couldn't sit still. He tremblingly picked up the knife and inserted it from the man's back.
Meng Guang looked at the bloodstains all over the floor, and sat on the ground blankly for a long time.
Fortunately, there were usually no customers in his store, and the alley was remote, so no one passed by. He wiped off the man's blood with the red light of the setting sun, wrapped the body in a blanket and stuffed it behind the door of the lobby.
Then he went out into the yard and put his head up to look into the well.
The well had already dried up, so Meng Guang never used it. His parents died early and never told him about the secrets in the well.
He found a rope, tied it to a small tree, and hung himself into the well. He touched the side of the well carefully, but found no place to put the book.
Think about it too, what books will be put in the well?Isn't that all soaked and damaged?
He stood on the mud at the bottom of the well, looked at the dark well wall above his head, and began to regret that he believed in the evil slave's nonsense.
He had already killed someone, but he still hadn't found the secret, and the well water up to his waist was icy cold, which made him lose all hope and couldn't move.
At this time, a woman's voice sounded behind him.
"Human, what are you looking for?"
Meng Guang turned around in horror, and saw a stone statue slowly floating up from the mud.This stone statue is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman. After she rose up, the color of the stone on her body slowly faded, and she turned into a real woman. She took out a book from her sleeve and asked, "You want this? "
Meng Guang was quite frightened by the sudden sound, but the book the woman held in her hand caught his attention.
I saw it read: The Book of Wine.
The woman said: "Do you want it?"
Although Meng Guang was a little afraid of this woman who looked like a monster at first glance, he was willing to let him sell his soul even if he had a good drink, so he nodded immediately.
The woman said: "You pull me up, and I will give it to you."
Meng Guang first lifted himself up on the pulley, and then pulled the woman, and found that she seemed to weigh a thousand catties.He tried his best to pull him up.
The woman put the book in his hand, looked up at this novel world, and took a deep breath of fresh air.
She has lived at the bottom of the well for nearly a hundred years and has been surrounded by all kinds of silt. Even if she can see the sky, it is only a small, round hole.She has always imagined that one day, she can come out from the bottom of the well to see this beautiful world.
Now she finally made her wait for this day. She left her benefactor Meng Guang aside and ran out happily to see the children, vendors, horses and beauties on the side of the road. Everything was so novel and interesting. This small town is not big. I ran back and forth for a while.
She ran all the way out of Yangguan Town, and found that the place she was in was an isolated island, and there were many monsters outside.She's just a gargoyle with no skills and low strength.So she knew instinctively that she couldn't get too close to those monsters.
So she went back the same way, walked around the street, and returned to the backyard of Wanggui Building.
Seeing that Meng Guang was still studying the book of wine, she walked over to him and asked, "What's so interesting about this, I want to eat red bean buns, buy them for me."
Meng Guang didn't even raise his head. He lived in Yangguan Town. He used to work as a porter and merchant for two days in order to make a living. Various monsters were not uncommon in the desert outside the pass.So the little monster in front of him, he didn't feel any fear at all, she looked like a child who could only act like a baby.
He held the book of wine and read it for a long time, and found that the book was full of strange wine making recipes. If he really followed the brewing method above, he would not be able to make wine even after 100 years.
Because the raw materials written above are not used for ordinary wine making at all.He has never even heard of unicorn meat or white phoenix feet.
Except for head wine on the last page.
The words on it are slanted, and only some generalizations can be seen, saying that it is——Ingredients: fermented human head, original liquid, koji.
The preparation method is also very cumbersome. First, find a living person and let him drink the original solution every day until his intestines are cleaned.After the aroma of the original solution is marinated, soak it into the original solution, add koji, and seal it for 49 days.Remove the human skin and sundries, put the human head into the wine jar and dry it in the sun for seven days, then open the lid and add the koji, stir until it becomes clear, dilute with water, that is the adult head wine.
The production of this stock solution is also extremely cruel. It is made from the hearts and livers of those who are addicted to head wine.
Although Meng Guang was forced to kill the evil slave of the Gao family, he was not a treacherous person after all. If he was asked to use people to make wine, how could he do it?
Seeing him frowning, the little monster asked him what was wrong.
After hearing what he said, the little monster yawned: "What's there to worry about, don't you just kill a few people?"
Looking at her like this, Meng Guang knew that her monster's morality did not exist at all, and it was useless to ask her.
"That's right, don't think about that, can you give me a name?" The little monster shook his shoulder.
Meng Guang was annoyed by her noise, and when he saw the plum tree in the yard, he casually said, "Then your name is Mei Xiang."
After Mei Xiang got her name, she happily climbed around the small tree in the yard.
Seeing her carefree look, Meng Guang also smiled: "Mei Xiang, that little tree can't stand your trouble."
She was very heavy, and the little tree immediately became crooked after being turned around by her. Mei Xiang said "ah" and pushed it back distressedly, but the little tree has changed since then , can never go back to the original state.
But she didn't care too much, and clamored for buns again.
Meng Guang stuffed the incomprehensible wine scriptures under the bed, and Mei Xiang pushed the evil slave's body into the dry well, and took Mei Xiang to eat buns.I was going to wait for the government to ask, and said that I had never seen this person.Anyway, the people of Yangguan Town are aggressive, and the government is extremely stupid. The population flow is so fast, and many people usually move away, and no one will be held accountable for losing a few people.
But he forgot that Gao Huai was determined to want his house, and he would never let it go.
The next day, Meng Guang fetched water to wipe the floor again, but just as he put the bucket on the ground, the door of the lobby was kicked open.
"Bold Meng Guang, you killed someone in the street, the evidence is solid, the county magistrate ordered me to come and get you!" Two men who looked like officials rushed over and put the rope around his neck.
Meng Guang thought how could it be possible, could it be that someone discovered yesterday's incident?
Guiltyly looking back at the backyard, he saw Mei Xiang still sleeping under the plum tree.
"Be honest!" The officer twisted his arm and was about to tie his hands.
"I'm wronged, sir, I..." Although Meng Guang didn't figure out how they found the corpse, he still instinctively wanted to call for wrongs - he did it first, I was self-defense, maybe I could explain clearly, You can lower your guilt.
"Of course you were wronged, but it doesn't matter if you are guilty or not! Uncle Gao said you were guilty, even if you are not guilty, you are still guilty!" the official said angrily.
"Wait! Who are you guys? This is..."
Before Meng Guang could finish speaking, he was hit hard on the back of the head.
His brain buzzed, and he fell down with blood all over his face.
The two officials laughed and said as they walked towards the backyard: "He really believes that we are from the government hahahaha."
Mei Xiang, run away.
Before fainting, such a sentence suddenly flashed in Meng Guang's mind.
The author has something to say:
What's in the urn is the original solution, and what's in the vial is the koji.
