Wei Jing and Gongsun Yao followed Li Yue and walked for many days. Li Yue actually couldn't remember the exact way he came, but he remembered the approximate direction of the water flow and led Wei Jing and Gongsun Yao all the way.
They turned into a secluded cave path, and the terrain got higher and higher. When they passed through long paths one after another, they could no longer see the pools, and the road ahead became much narrower. Wei Jing and Gongsun Yao were very worried. Eight times, the only way to get out of this situation is to follow Li Yue, but if he goes crazy at this time, it will be difficult for them to fly even if they have wings.
That day they came to the end of a certain trail. They had not drank water for nearly a day and a half, and their lips were all chapped with dryness.
Looking up, there was a faint hollow above, with a hemp rope hanging down.
Wei Jing thought of something and said: "Oh, Uncle Li Yue, did you hang this rope? I don't think it can bear the weight of three people..."
Li Yue bowed, grabbed the rope, exerted force, and pulled the rope off. He said, "I did not hang this rope. It was left here by the grass pickers when they were exploring around. I also followed them here." .”
Li Yue picked up the rope, gave it to Wei Jing and Gongsun Yao, and said to them: "You two, tie it to each other's shoulders. You must tie it tightly, otherwise your life will not be saved later."
Wei Jing and Gongsun Yao didn't understand what Li Yue meant, but they still did it. They tied the two ends of the rope on each other's shoulders. Li Yue put the center of the long rope on the back of his neck, and wrapped his arms around the two ends. Only then did the two of them realize that Li Yue was actually going to carry the two of them up from the narrow hole.
The two of them were shocked and quickly checked for each other whether the rope was secure.
Li Yue rubbed his hands, jumped up, climbed up slowly on the rocks on the edge of the cave.
Wei Jing and Gongsun Yao felt that their bodies were gradually suspended in the air, and they were very surprised. As Li Yue climbed higher and higher, Wei Jing and Gongsun Yao were also lifted into the narrow cave.
They stretched out their hands to climb the rocks. After only climbing for a while, their hands and feet felt weak. Then they used their backs as support and climbed up in the narrow hole with their knees and palms.
Because Li Yue was carrying him, he climbed up smoothly.
"Uncle Li Yue, how far do we have to climb?" Wei Jing felt that the skin on his palms was scratched by the hard stone, and he raised his head and asked Li Yue.
"It will take at least half a day to climb."
"What?" Wei Jing wailed and said, "What if I want to pee?"
"You peed without drinking water?"
"Yes, I have!"
Li Yue snorted and said, "Then just pee! If I want to pee later, I can pee as well."
Wei Jing saw that Li Yue was right above their heads and would pee on them. He was unwilling to do so, so he said, "Uncle Li Yue, your strength is unparalleled in the world. I wonder if your ability to hold in your urine is as good as mine." , we can compare.”
"I'm not as good at holding my pee as you are. I have to pee when I need to pee. If you keep nagging me, I'll pee all over you."
"Okay, I won't be nagging, but how are you going to spend most of the day? Brother Li Yue, yesterday you said that girl Ling'er is absolutely beautiful. I'm not convinced. I think my sister Yu Xue is not inferior to your girl Ling'er. .”
Gongsun Yao couldn't help but interjected: "I think Zhongyun is very beautiful."
"Uncle Li Yue, you said you met her when you were drinking with your men. Could it be that being drunk made her look more hazy and beautiful?" Wei Jing continued to ask.
"Fuck you. After that day, I was always with her. Am I drunk every day?" Li Yue sighed, and then said: "I used to drink in "altar" units, and I didn't drink alcohol that day either. No matter how much you drink, you can only touch your lips, how can you get drunk?"
"Hey, maybe the wine you drank was weak and you lied to me that you haven't drank wine before? I have drank bitter and spicy wine." Wei Jing retorted.
"Poor boy, bad wine is bitter and spicy. I drink this kind of bad wine now. The wine I drank before was a hundred times more fragrant and equally strong. It was not what you call light wine. What I drank that day, But the extremely strong aged Maotai was only available at the Luo Feng Xuan in downtown Laihu at that time. Three cups for an ordinary person would be enough. Do you know how much I drank that day? Let me tell you, I drank four jugs!"
Luofengxuan was a well-known tea house and restaurant in Laihu City more than ten years ago. Later, the owner of Luofengxuan returned home to retire and gave the roof of the store to others. The new owner failed to manage it well and a group of cooks were not good at their craftsmanship. The business of Luofengxuan was It's getting worse every day, and it was closed down a few years ago.
There is a name for aged Maotai, called "No more than three", which means no more than three drinks. Of course, this name is a gimmick. Many men who think they have a good drinker come here because of this name. , all have to taste the taste of "no more than three".
However, as Li Yue said, the Three Truths are extremely powerful. Many of the men who went to challenge bravely ordered a pot at a time, happily ate braised beef, and drank one glass after another. When Bu Guo San has finished drinking, he will always pat his belly and proudly say that the famous Bu Guo San is nothing.
But they couldn't laugh for long. After drinking a pot, the power of the wine gradually began to take effect. The men began to feel that the world was upside down, and they kept vomiting. They felt dizzy for several days, had a terrible headache, and felt like vomiting their stomachs. After that, they did not dare to drink anymore for a long time. .
When Li Yue heard that Luofengxuan had bought such a batch of powerful wine, he was so greedy that he couldn't even sleep well. The next day, he led several of his men to Luofengxuan and ordered it under the warm hospitality of the owner. A few side dishes and a pot are no more than three.
At that time, Li Yue's right-hand man Ma Tianjing was only eighteen years old and was not yet the majestic deputy head of Wushuang Hall. He rushed to pour the first glass and poured it into his mouth. He felt that what he drank was not wine, but a ball of fire. The fire rolled from his mouth into his stomach, burning him so much that he screamed, "Wow! It's so choking, what a powerful guy! Brother Li Yue, this thing is so enjoyable!"
Li Yue poured a glass for himself, put it to his nose to smell it, took a small sip, then drank it all, and said with a smile: "It's well-deserved."
When they had almost finished the pot, and were about to order the second pot, a woman in purple clothes walked into Luofengxuan with red eyes, placed three gold ingots on the table, and called the waiter to ask for He brought three pots but no more than three.
Even the waiter and the customers in the store were dumbfounded and told her that she was ungrateful. The waiter explained for a long time, only saying that the wine was extremely strong and it was impossible for a woman to drink three bottles.
She glared at the waiter angrily and said coldly: "You think you are the only one selling liquor in the lake? Do you want to sell it? If not, I will go to another place to drink it." After saying this, she reached out to take away the ingot on the table.
The waiter put on a smile and said, "Okay, okay, girl, don't be angry, I'll bring the wine up right now."
Despite this, the waiter only served one pot of wine. He said with a smile: "Girl, there are two pots prepared for you in the kitchen. After you drink this pot, we will bring you the second pot. Do you want it?" Want some side dishes?"
She glared at the waiter, grabbed the wine bottle, and poured a full glass. She frowned before drinking it, as if she was about to die.
She drank the wine in one gulp and groaned in pain. The hand holding the wine glass kept shaking and her face turned red.
When the guests of Luofengxuan saw it, there was a burst of laughter. There was also a richly dressed young man who wanted to show off his power. He stepped forward and pressed her wooden table with one hand, fanning the other hand, and said: "This beautiful girl , this wine is too strong and not suitable for a woman to drink, why don't I drink it for you, and then order some sweet and light wine for you to taste, naturally, I will pay for this pot for you, which is only three yuan."
"What one pot, three pots!" The woman suddenly shouted, slapping the table and asking the waiter to bring the other two pots. The waiter quickly brought the other two pots to the table.
"If you want to be a hero, just drink all three pots in one go, or else go away and cool off!" The woman glared at the rich young man and yelled.
Of course the young master couldn't drink three pots, so he fanned his head angrily and said to his friend, "She is already drunk."
"Trash!" She snorted and poured another glass, but now that she had tasted the strength of the wine, she could not take another sip. She only took a small sip and put down the glass in pain.
The waiter sighed, stepped forward and said with concern: "Girl, I'll take away the two bottles of wine, and the bottle you drank will be sold to other customers. We'll only charge you the price of two glasses of wine!"
"Who wants you to be meddlesome?" The woman yelled angrily. She glanced at all the diners in Luofengxuan and said bitterly: "Humph, I knew it...there is no one here who can be called a man...and there is no one outside either. , there is none in Laihu City, none in the whole world, they are all a bunch of losers..."
The woman's words angered all the diners in the store, shouting and cursing: "Where's the crazy woman from!" "It's either a man who knows how to drink!" "Who can drink three pots!"
The woman ignored everyone's jeers and curses, sneered several times, drank all the remaining wine in the cup, coughed painfully for a long time, and lay on the table, panting. She found Li Yue looking at her, slammed the table, pointed at Li Yue and yelled: "What are you looking at? Can you drink?"
Ma Tianjing and a group of his subordinates immediately stood up with their hands on their hips. Li Yue snorted and shouted: "Sit down! She is a single woman."
Ma Tianjing snorted, sat down obediently, and muttered: "She is a drunk and crazy woman. It's a pity that she is quite good-looking."
The woman gasped for breath, and when she saw Li Yue still staring at her, she felt angry. She grabbed the wine bottle and walked towards Li Yue, scolding: "You are very arrogant and think you are powerful, don't you? Give me a drink..."
She walked up to Li Yue. Before she could finish her words, Li Yue had already taken the wine and drank it completely in several sips.
"Wow - Li Yue can indeed break through the Tianmen!"
"I just said that only Li Yue, who broke into the Tianmen, can drink this wine like this!" The diners burst into cheers, and some people yelled at the woman: "Did you see that, you said there are no men in the world, and a real man jumped out in front of you? !”
After Li Yue finished drinking, he waved to the waiter and pointed at the other two pots on the table.
The waiter naturally knew what he meant, so he placed two pots of no more than three pots on Li Yue's table, and said to him with admiration and joy: "Master Li Yue, I will instruct the cook to treat you to a plate of high-quality beef. You drink!"
"I don't need anyone else's invitation, and it's not like I don't have money to pay." Li Yue said with a smile.
"Please! I must invite you." The waiter was very excited and laughed loudly: "With your arrogance, I still have to treat you to a plate of meat even if I pay for it myself." After the waiter said this, he went to ask the chef to cut it on his own initiative. Meat.
When a plate of fine meat was brought out, Li Yue had already finished the woman's second pot, but he still drank it all in one gulp, and the diners in the cafeteria cheered.
The woman still had her hands on her hips and looked at Li Yue coldly. When she saw that he had finished the second pot, she said, "There is still one pot left, so you can be brave again!"
As soon as the woman finished speaking, she suddenly shed tears.
****************
"Then what? Did you drink the third bottle of wine?" Wei Jing gasped and untied the rope from his shoulders. They had climbed to the top. This was the end of a branch road on the second level of the underground lake. I don't know why there was Such a long and empty hole.
Wei Jing looked around and saw that the long road was dark and gloomy with no one there, so he added, "We still have to find the ground floor on the road. Oh, it's so tiring."
Li Yue shook his head and said, "No, we can't reach the underground level here. It's already far away from the center of Laihu."
"What?"
"Don't forget how long you have been walking underground by yourself, and how long you have been walking since you met me. How far have you walked in so many days?"
"How far?" Wei Jing and Gongsun Yao asked tiredly.
"We are now on the edge of Laihu City, close to Wuyao City."
Wei Jing didn't know where Wuyao City was yet, so he took Gongsun Yao and asked for a while, only to find out that Wuyao City was adjacent to the northern end of Laihu City. They had walked underground for most of Laihu City these days.
Next, Wei Jing and Gongsun Yao, who were already hungry and thirsty to the extreme, followed Li Yue in a daze and continued walking staggeringly, no longer caring whether Li Yue would suddenly go crazy.
They arrived at a long and narrow staircase that seemed to be endless. Wei Jing and Gongsun Yao almost shed tears when they found that they had finally finished walking up the stairs. Behind them was a row of old, low-rise buildings, and in front of them were A vast meadow and a night sky filled with stars.
A gust of wind blew slowly, blowing on their faces. Wei Jing choked and said: "Ah... we are finally back on the ground..."
"Ah, what is that one? Is it a city?" Gongsun Yao pointed to a strange-looking towering building in the distance of the grassland. It looked like a city or a building. The tower was scattered with messy lights.
"That's Baidiewu Village, which is where we're going. There are carriage stops nearby, and you can return to the center of Laihu from there." Li Yue answered casually.
Wei Jing asked again: "Uncle Li Yue, have you finished the third bottle of wine?"
Li Yue felt very comfortable in the night breeze. He had been underground longer than Wei Jing and Gongsun Yao. He closed his eyes and his throat rose and fell, as if he was recalling the taste of the three pots of wine. He said hoarsely: "Of course, I drank it all, so she told me her name - Ling'er."
