"This is the rice wine brewed by us in Wuyou Village. It is no worse than the Moutai Wuliangye you sell outside. How many of you can try it?"
Seeing that I couldn't bear it now, I could only pick up the wine glass and drink it all in one gulp.
“Good wine!”
I praised loudly, while the zhenqi in my body was circulating, and I quickly drained the alcohol through my other hand placed under the table.
The qi refining method taught by Mr. Hu San can not only condense the true qi in the body, but also expel harmful substances from the body through the eight extraordinary meridians, so the village chief's trick did not trouble me at all.
As for Lonnie, Bai Ze, and An Jingjing, they all naturally have their own techniques to eliminate alcohol, so I'm not worried.
After drinking one glass after another, the faces of the few of us remained unchanged and we continued to talk and laugh. The village chief also had a surprised expression on his face.
Looking up at the sun above his head, a look of anxiety suddenly appeared on the village chief's face.
"That's it for today's banquet. Let's meet again tomorrow."
With that said, the village chief stood up in a hurry and called for everyone to start clearing the banquet.
The village chief's behavior was so weird that I couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Just now he seemed to be determined not to stop until he got us all drunk, but now he was suddenly so anxious to end the banquet, as if some danger was coming, which made people suspicious.
"Uncle Sun, why don't you come and have a drink with me?"
I pretended to be drunk and grabbed the village chief's arm.
"You and I hit it off right away. How about we stay drunk today?"
"Yes, you won't come back until you're drunk!"
Bai Ze immediately understood my intention, stood up and echoed: "Today in Wuyou Village, we are really free from worries. It is rare to have such a good time. Village Chief, please don't leave."
The village chief was held by the arms of a few of us and couldn't get away. He could only say in a pleading tone: "Guys, let's do this for today. I really can't drink anymore today. Didn't you see that the sun is going to set soon? "
I asked in confusion: "Does the setting of the sun have something to do with us drinking?"
"Yes, it has a huge relationship!"
The village chief said in a trembling voice: "As soon as the sun goes down, the crawlers outside will take advantage of the darkness to break into the village. If you don't return to the wooden building before then, you may be eaten by the crawlers!"
After finishing speaking, the village chief stopped explaining too much and asked everyone to quickly clear away the dishes and return to their rooms.
The few of us, led by the village chief, came to a corner of the corridor on the eighth floor. There were several single rooms available with bedding already laid out inside. The village chief told us never to come out after dark, saying that he lived on the sixth floor. Lou, just come to him if you need anything, and then leave on your own.
Strange to say, just as the village chief left, suddenly, the world became dark. I looked up and saw that the scorching sun had disappeared without a trace!
This is too strange. We looked at each other and felt a little incredible.
As we all know, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, which is a slow process, but the sun here was high in the sky just now, and then disappeared in a blink of an eye, and it suddenly changed from day to night, which was really weird.
"Mr. Cheng, go back to the house quickly!"
At this time, the village chief's shout came from downstairs, and he seemed to have seen a few of us still standing in the corridor without moving.
I responded, turned back to the house, and closed the door.
"Everyone, what do you think?"
I turned back to Lonnie and the others and asked.
"This village is so weird. In addition to the sudden disappearance of the sun, the villagers are also a little strange."
Lonnie held her chin and said, "Although they have been saying that they are carefree in Wuyou Village, I always feel that the smiles on each of their faces seem to be piled up, which is a bit scary."
"That's right,"
Bai Ze also nodded and said: "There must be something wrong with the wine the village chief asked us to drink. If we hadn't excreted it in time, we might have become like those villagers."
"Why don't we go out to investigate later and maybe we can find some clues."
An Jingjing suggested.
Quietly's idea is exactly what I want. Since the village chief said we are not allowed to go out after dark, we must go out to see what will happen outside.
"somebody is coming!"
At this moment, I suddenly heard a rustling of footsteps coming from outside.
Although the sound is very slight, how can it escape our ears?
I signaled with my eyes that they quickly lay down on the bed, closed their eyes, and pretended to be asleep. Bai Ze even snored heavily.
Through the corner of my eye, I vaguely saw a figure standing outside the window for a while. After confirming that all of us were asleep, I turned around and left.
"Walk!"
When there was no movement outside, I waved my hand to invite everyone to get up, quietly opened the door and looked outside. After seeing that there was no one in the corridor, we walked out quietly.
Looking as far as the eye could see, it was pitch black all around, not a single star could be seen in the sky, and the entire wooden building was deathly silent. All the villagers seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, without making any movement.
When we reached the stairs, we were about to go downstairs when we suddenly heard several people whispering from downstairs.
We quickly stuck to the edge of the stairs and listened to the conversation below.
"Are those people asleep?"
The first thing that came was the village chief’s voice.
"Don't worry, village chief. I just saw it. Our wine has been drugged. They won't be able to wake up for a while."
I also recognized another voice. It was the manager who was sitting next to me before. I remember his name was Huang Wang.
"that's great,"
The village chief said: "These people are not simple, please stabilize them first and don't take action for the time being."
Huang Wang said: "But tonight is the time to sacrifice to the gods. If we don't move them, who are we going to attack?"
The village chief said: "Then just grab a random person first. No one will remember him the next day anyway."
"good!"
Huang Wang nodded, and then stopped the conversation temporarily.
I looked around and poked my head out, and saw Huang Wang leading a few cadres into a room on the sixth floor. After a while, several people came out carrying a tied-up man.
The man struggled desperately, but his mouth was stuffed with cotton and he couldn't make any sound at all.
"Walk!"
The village chief waved his hand, and several village cadres behind him lifted the villager and walked down the stairs.
The conversation between the village chief and Huang Wang just now was very informative, but now we just followed it without thinking too much.
After going downstairs, the village chief and others carried the villager and climbed toward the top of the mountain we passed during the day.
When they climbed halfway up the mountain, the group of people put the villager down and knelt down one after another, kneeling down and worshiping God.
