When a group of people who don't know each other well after experiencing life and death, the group will become particularly warm.
Under the influence of alcohol, Wei Hai and the old beggar more or less revealed some of the true purpose of going to Jiangling Mansion.
The first is the old beggar. He said that although he has been a beggar in Gucheng County for more than 20 years, in fact, he is considered a native Jiangling native and he does have a family in Jiangling.
As for why he was so depressed later, he didn't want to say, and the three audience members were quite sensible and didn't ask any more questions.
After all, it is not difficult to see from his sad eyes that he must have experienced extremely rough things before he became a beggar.
Besides, Wei Hai, the old beggar has been "exposed" to something. If he doesn't tell, the old beggar will definitely not let him go.
However, he didn’t know whether he was really drunk, or he had experienced life and death, but he actually told most of his story. If he hadn’t passed out drunk in the end, he might have even told what he did on the night of his wedding. …
Wei Hai's story is also very simple. His hometown is also in Jiangling Mansion, and he was quite a famous person in Jiangling Mansion back then.
The once popular "Wannian Chun" wine was brewed by him.
Upon hearing this, even the extremely tired Li Xunshan sat up with his eyes widened.
According to him, at that time, this "10,000-year-old alcohol" was hard to come by, and many prominent people went to great lengths to buy a bottle just to get such a sip!
But later on, the brewer of this "Wannian Chun" suddenly closed the wine shop for some unknown reason and disappeared from the world in an instant.
No one knew where he went, but it turned out that he had hid in a small place like Gucheng County and opened a wine shop.
Wei Hai did not hide this. After drinking a jar of wine, he told the truth.
It turned out that he had a son who followed his will and liked to make wine and drink... As a result, without his noticing, his son secretly drank his improved "Wannian Chun"!
The improved version of "Wannian Chun" is extremely strong, a bit stronger than the drinks Gu Ning'an and the others are drinking now... but its taste is extremely smooth, and drinking one glass after another makes you feel like you are drinking it. I won't feel uncomfortable at all for three moments.
This also led to Wei Hai's son miscalculating his drinking capacity, and eventually almost drank himself to death.
Fortunately, Wei Hai's wife found out in time and sent him to the hospital.
In the end, Wei Hai's son's life was saved, but he became a cripple who could only lie on the bed and needed care for food, drink, and toilet.
You must know that Wei Hai's son was in the "Year of the Dancing Elephant". This was a great time when he was about to usher in a new stage of life...
After such a thing happened, Wei Hai's wife could not forgive him and scolded him out of the house, and he himself could not forgive himself.
In this way, he closed the wine shop, destroyed all the inventory, and only took away a small amount of silver, and then went to Gucheng County...
When he was talking about this, the old beggar asked him: "Since you are disheartened by wine, why do you open a wine shop? If you open a wine shop, why do you have to close it yourself?"
Regarding this question, Wei Hai just smiled dumbly, swayed, and passed away drunk.
At that time, Li Xunshan and the old beggar thought the man was drunk and were trying to induce vomiting when they heard him snoring.
Seeing that he was fine, the remaining three people who were still awake continued chatting and drinking.
Not long after, the second person who got drunk was the old beggar... On the other hand, although Li Xunshan drank wine mixed with water, he continued to tell Gu Ning'an about his relationship with his "sweetheart" one after another. "I kept talking about it until the sky turned white, and then I fell asleep...
...
Ah sneeze!
The old beggar lying in the boat canopy couldn't help but sneeze. After rubbing his nose, he opened his eyes and was about to see a big face covered with stubble...
Because the old beggar and Wei Hai were too close, he subconsciously pushed them away, sat up and looked out of the boat canopy.
"Arrived?" The old beggar rubbed his eyes and took another look in disbelief. Seeing that he was right, he shook Wei Hai not far away and said loudly: "Wake up! Wake up! Stop sleeping, it’s already docked!”
"Well..." Wei Hai opened his eyes slightly and said impatiently: "Don't make any noise, just hit the shore..."
After saying this, Wei Hai sat up suddenly, widened his eyes and said: "Arrived at the shore? Didn't we just finish drinking?"
The old beggar rolled his eyes and looked at Wei Hai, whose face was full of saliva. He stood up and walked out with some guilt: "How could I have known to go..."
At this time, Wei Hai, who smelled a sour smell, sniffed east and west. When he wiped his face with his hands, the astringent and sour smell on his hands made him explode instantly: "Old man Wentou! You fucking spit in my face, right?"
At this moment, the old beggar had already walked out of the boat canopy. When he saw Gu Ning'an and Li Xunshan making a fire on the shore, he walked over quickly.
"Mr. Gu, Mr. Li, are we in trouble?"
"When did you arrive? How come it was so fast?"
Hearing the old beggar's doubts, Li Xunshan shrugged and said, "Don't ask me, I saw your husband cooking here as soon as I woke up..."
Gu Ning'an added a few dead branches to the simple stove in front of him, clapped his hands and said, "You all drank too much that day and slept all day, so I estimated the approximate location of Jiangling Mansion and rowed over."
Hearing this, the old beggar hurriedly held up his hands and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sir. I'm probably exhausted from rowing this day. Why don't you go to the boat to have a rest? We'll wait for you to go into the city together."
Gu Ning'an waved her hand and said: "No, I also took a rest while rowing. I'm just going with the current, so there is basically no need to row."
"What! Mr. Gu rowed here alone!" Wei Hai, who had just jumped off the boat, shouted from a distance, attracting many passers-by on the river bank to look at him.
Gu Ning'an smiled and didn't answer. He opened the lid of the earthenware pot and said with a smile, "It's time for you to wake up. The brown rice porridge is ready. Come and have a bowl."
Smelling the aroma of rice porridge in the air, the three men, who had slept all day and night, all moved their index fingers and came forward to serve their own porridge...
After everyone had eaten, they worked together to drag the canoe to the shore, found an open space and tied it up.
"Mr. Gu, Brother Wei, Father Wen...Li is very happy to have spent this journey with you. This is probably the best time I have ever experienced in boating... "While speaking, Li Xunshan bowed to the three of them one after another.
Just when Gu Ning'an and the others thought these were Li Xunshan's farewell words and were about to respond, Li Xunshan spoke again: "If you guys have nothing urgent to do, why don't you come with me to my residence to rest and have a light meal?"
