Chapter 17: The fragrance of wine hooks people

"Yes, teacher." Gu Yi felt bitter in his heart.

"I think so too, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to accept someone if I want to do it! Now your student has to rely on luck to even find someone." Gu Yi complained silently in his heart.

"The mountain guards live in the mountains all year round. The humidity is high and they need to drink for a long time to keep away the cold, so everyone prefers drinking. You might want to try it." Yang Shan is worthy of being an old man and can see through Gu Yi's heart at a glance.

As he thought, he hinted lightly.

"Damn, you're awesome! You can guess all this." Gu Yi muttered in his heart, but immediately replied: "Thank you, Teacher, for the clue."

After receiving the news from Yang Shan, Gu Yi returned home in the afternoon.

After returning home, Gu Yi relayed everything Yang Shan told him about the origin of the mountain guardian to Gu Yunsong.

"It's just a few bottles of good wine. You have forgotten what your grandfather did. If you can succeed in your apprenticeship and learn some real skills, it doesn't matter if you empty the wine cellar." After hearing this, Gu Yunsong said decisively.

The Gu family has a tradition of making wine. Gu Yunsong learned wine making and shochu from his father and grandfather since he was a child. He was able to make wine independently at the age of sixteen.

Many people in the village have been drinking Gu family wine all their lives, from Gu Yunsong's grandfather, to Gu Yunsong's father, to Gu Yunsong himself.

The Gu family's wine has a mellow aroma and is never fake.

Over the years, after every autumn harvest, Gu Yunsong would open a jar to make wine, hide some of it and sell some of it.

He would never sell the best jars of wine every year. He would only share some of it with old acquaintances, relatives or friends who came to ask for it.

The rest will be sealed in altars and stored in cellars, and some will only be taken out for family members or when giving banquets. Gu Yi doesn't know when Gu Yunsong developed this habit, nor does he know how much he has hidden over the years.

The Gu family has never been a family that believes in money first. What they pursue is more of a quality life.

"Wait here." Gu Yunsong told Gu Yi, then turned and walked towards the stairs, where Gu Yunsong hid his wine.

The wine cellar under the stairs was deep and dark. Gu Yi had never entered it in his previous life because he was afraid. Gu Yi also did not enter it in this life because he had no chance.

Just when Gu Yi was thinking about when to go in and take a look at grandpa's collection.

Gu Yunsong came back with two jars of wine. They were five kilograms in size. They were very common wine jars in the countryside. The sealing mud on them had not been touched. They were obviously original bottles of good wine. They were wrapped in cobwebs several times and looked to have been around for many years.

.

"Here, this is your grandfather. When I was twenty years old, I made my first cup of wine after studying as a teacher. A jar of five grains and a jar of rice wine, five kilograms, forty-three years old. Even the gods would jump after hearing it.

If you don't believe it, he won't take the bait." Gu Yunsong threw the wine to Gu Yi and said with a proud face.

"Damn, baby!" Gu Yi picked up a jar, brought it to him, sniffed around the seal, but didn't smell anything.

"Idiot, if you can smell it, can you still drink this wine?" Gu Yunsong laughed and cursed.

He took Gu Yi's cowhide bag, hoisted it up with a rope made of straw, and put it into the bag for Gu Yi.

"Let's go, you can't let your father and your uncle know about this, understand?" Gu Yunsong warned Gu Yi, even Gu Jingnan and Gu Jingping have been coveting this good wine for a long time, but they still can't drink it.

"Eat, then go to bed early and recharge your batteries. Be careful when you go up the mountain tomorrow. Bring all your things with you so your parents don't notice." Gu Yunsong said to Gu Yi.

"Yeah!" Gu Yi nodded and followed Gu Yunsong out of the room.

Throughout the afternoon and at the dinner table in the evening, Gu Yi and Gu Yunsong did not show any strange behavior, just like two old foxes who were well versed in scheming.

Gu Jingnan, Gu Jingping and others always felt that something was wrong in their eyes, but they could never find anything strange.

As everyone knows, the so-called absence of any differences is the biggest difference.

Early the next morning, before the sky opened, Gu Yi packed up his backpack and set off. In his backpack were water, food for lunch, and of course the two jars of aged wine.

Only Gu Yunsong, who knew better, was seen off, and the grandfather and grandson parted ways at the old poplar tree at the door.

"It's just Niutoushan, how can you stop me, the son of the Gu family?" Gu Yunsong looked at Gu Yi who was leaving towards the back mountain and hummed, then turned and left.

The young man had his own journey today, and the old man also had his own homework. Without the presence of the two of them, the small village returned to its supposed tranquility. It was not until a long time later that there were people who got up early to do their homework again, and it became lively again.

On this trip, Gu Yi was familiar with the roads and climbed quickly, heading straight for his destination. Along the way, he woke up countless sleeping birds, animals, flowers and insects.

When we arrived at the cliff the day before yesterday, we just caught up with the sun rising in the east. A red sun was like a red-hot iron that dyed half of the sky.

The scene of sunrise in the east is majestic.

It made Gu Yi's blood boil, and a joy of conquest surged into his heart. Gu Yi couldn't help but scream into the distance.

The sound was distant and the breath was long, startling a crowd of birds and beasts.

He took off his sweat-soaked gown and threw it on the rock, revealing a strong body. It was not a muscular body, but a streamlined curve that was restrained but full of explosive power.

As quiet as a virgin, as active as a stray rabbit.

Fine beads of sweat overflowed from the pores, and the whole body was steaming with heat. The morning mountain peak blew by, giving it a hint of coolness.

Gu Yi took advantage of the situation and practiced boxing for an hour. The pores in his body were opened, and his blood was flowing. He took advantage of the muscles and bones to move and did some stretching and yoga movements, and then he did it on the edge of the cliff.

He went out in a hurry in the morning and hadn't even eaten breakfast yet. He took out an egg pancake from a cowhide bag with a thick sweet noodle sauce on it. Gu Yi gnawed it with satisfaction.

By the way, he took out a jar of wine and placed it next to him.

After putting away the breakfast in his hands, Gu Yicai focused his attention on the jar of wine next to him.

"Will this wine work?" Gu Yi was a little doubtful.

"No matter, let's try it first." Gu Yi muttered, then suddenly slapped Fengni away with his fist.

The air suddenly stagnated, and a strong aroma of wine came from the tile altar and spread out. The aroma was mellow and mellow, without any trace of fire.

"It seems!" Gu Yi could not help but feel his Adam's apple rolling as he smelled the aroma of wine.

"Grandpa is indeed not exaggerating. The aroma of the wine is long, mellow and natural. It can spread for thousands of miles. Gu Yi doesn't believe that he can't seduce people." After smelling the aroma of the wine, Gu Yi immediately felt at ease and was not afraid of the other party.

Don’t take the bait, anyone who loves wine will never be able to resist this temptation.

What was opened was rice wine, and there was a jar of white wine still untouched in the cowhide bag.

There was a simple wooden house near the top of the mountain two or three miles away.

At this time, in front of the wooden house, a strong man was wielding an ax and chopping firewood with precision. The firewood piled aside was even in size and had smooth fractures.

A big black dog lay lazily at the door, its head drooped and looking at the man chopping wood.

Suddenly, the black dog seemed to smell something, and his lazy head suddenly stood up. His eyes were confused for a while, and then he sniffed vigorously, as if he was confirming something.

Then, he suddenly jumped up excitedly and roared in the direction down the mountain with an excited expression.

When the man chopping firewood heard the sound, he immediately put down the mountain ax in his hand, looked at the big dog in confusion, and then looked in the direction of the big dog's roar.
