Chapter 18: Accumulate a thousand tans of firewood and mine a thousand catties
"Is it the boy the day before yesterday?" The strong man thought.
"Interesting." The strong man chuckled lightly as he smelled the increasingly strong aroma of wine.
"Let's go, work, let's go and meet that interesting little guy." The man packed up the chopped wood, leaned the axe against the door, untied the big dog's chain, and said with a smile.
"Is this reliable?" Gu Yi sat by the cliff and blew the mountain wind. After waiting for a long time, he still didn't notice any movement behind him. He couldn't help feeling guilty.
After all, this thing that wants to attract people by the fragrance of wine is a bit story-like.
The longer he waited, the less he felt, and the fragrance of the wine around him became more intoxicating.
As a person who loves wine, Gu Yi actually wants to taste what the taste of these rice wine that has been aged for more than 40 years.
Since I entered society in my previous life, I have been working on projects and have countless opportunities to drink, and I have drunk a lot of good and bad ones.
But they are all commercial wines, and no one knows whether it is raw wine or blended wine, nor how many years it is.
If you have five years to ten years, ten years to twenty years, who can say it correctly?
After forty years of rice wine, Gu Yi is really not sure whether the bottles he drank in his previous life were enough or not.
"Why don't you try it yourself?" Gu Yi suddenly had an idea in his mind. Anyway, he couldn't wait for someone, so maybe he wasn't interested in drinking at all, maybe.
I took out the cup where I drank water and swept the water inside. I was about to pour a little to taste the taste, but there was a strange sound from the bushes behind me.
Gu Yi quickly put away his things, stood up alertly, and looked calmly at the direction of the bushes where the sound came.
The plants and trees are dense, and it is impossible to see whether the person or the beast is coming. Gu Yi is always vigilant. There are no shortage of large beasts in the depths of this mountain. Although this is not deep, he is not going to be prepared to run out by some wild beasts attracted by the fragrance of wine.
A blind bear is typical of being greedy and keen, with a sensitive sense of smell. Many people say that they have seen a black bear in the depths of this mountain.
Gu Yi did not dare to be careless and placed the hatchet behind him in front of him. The blade was sharp. He had already confirmed that the person who came was not a human. With such a close sound, there was no human being yet.
He was a little nervous, but not afraid. He moved his body slightly towards the old walnut tree with a hatchet in his hand. If it weren't for a large beast, Gu Yi would feel that he would have some confidence.
If you encounter a large animal, Gu Yi will climb the tree without hesitation. The thick walnut tree is enough to resist the collision between adult black bears and wild boars. It has a hatchet from the bottom of the cliff and is enough to hold on.
The bushes in front of him were violently clamored, and a black shadow flashed by, and a huge hunting dog jumped out and landed lightly in front of Gu Yi.
The hatchet in Gu Yi tightened his hand, but he did not act rashly.
The collar on the dog's neck shows its identity. This is a dog with a serious and fierce dog face.
A mountain wind blew by, a scent of wine blew, and my black nose moved, and the dog's head turned around and looked at Gu Yi.
The scarlet tongue spit out, and the saliva fell down, and the dog's eyes became blurred, looking like a drunkard.
The dog moved slightly, moved towards the wine jar, and looked at Gu Yi with a cautious look, as if he was afraid that the hatchet in Gu Yi's hand would slash at him.
"Is this really a hunting dog?" Gu Yi could hardly imagine how a dog would look so vulgar, and how could such a dog be matched with the heroic man who saved him before.
"Da Hei, come back!" Just as Gu Yi was considering whether to stop the stupid dog, a cold shout came from behind the grass, and then a familiar figure appeared in front of Gu Yi.
It was still the same coarse linen, carrying a long bow and arrow bag, and a slender figure. Under the thin clothes, there seemed to be an explosive power like a cheetah hidden.
This time, Gu Yi saw clearly the strong man's face, his angular face, and his eyes were as bright as torches.
Hearing the strong man's voice, the big black dog immediately looked up. The expressions he had just now seemed to have never appeared. He immediately ran towards the big man, and quietly followed the man.
"Oscars owe you a trophy!" Gu Yi sighed in his heart.
Acting dog! Very rare!
"So you are really your kid, why did you come to the mountains again? You are not afraid of being taken away by a bear. You are not so lucky every time you can save you." The big man glanced at Gu Yi and chuckled.
"That's why I'm coming. I don't want to be rescued all the time." Gu Yi patted his trouser legs, put the hatchet aside, and sat down calmly by the cliff.
"My grandfather asked me to bring it to you. Thank you for your life-saving grace." Gu Yi pointed to the jar of wine that was opened beside him and said.
"Haha, then I'm not polite!" The big man didn't act arrogantly, looking free and unruly. He walked to Gu Yi and sat down, picked up the jar and took a sip.
"Gudong!Gudong!Gudong!" This wine was drunk like water, and he didn't even have to change his anger.
"Good wine!" After several sips, the big man stopped and tasted it again.
"Wow! Wow!" Seeing the big man stopping, the big black mouth beside him quickly shouted twice, looking at the big man and Gu Yi with anticipation.
"Okay, okay, you're indispensable." The big man turned over the mud cover that sealed the wine, poured the wine with a lid, and handed it to the big black dog.
"Wang! Wang!" Dahei didn't move, stared at the big man, and shouted twice.
"Small thing, it's not enough!" Helplessly, looking at Dahei who was staring at him, the big man had to add a little more.
Seeing Dahan adding wine, Dahei started drinking with satisfaction.
Gu Yi kept watching this scene quietly, without any surprise expression.
"I laughed at you. By the way, my name is Tiejun, you can call me Brother Jun." The big man said indifferently to Gu Yi, then took another sip of wine.
"Gu Yi." Gu Yi replied concisely and clearly.
"This jar of wine is not that easy to drink, right? Tell me what else is there?" Tiejun asked with the wine jar aside, his eyes regaining clearness.
"Thank you for this jar of wine, there is no other request." Gu Yi looked at the rolling clouds of the valley under his feet, rolled his eyes and said.
"Oh. Then what about the jar in your bag?" Tie Jun nodded at Gu Yi's cowhide bag.
"That jar is my apprenticeship wine. Do you want to drink it?" Gu Yi said in a slightly immature voice.
"You are the little grandson of Gu Laojiu at the foot of the mountain?" Tie Jun did not respond, but asked Gu Yi instead.
"How do you know?" Gu Yi looked at Tiejun in surprise. Gu Laojiu was nicknamed by grandpa and was given by the villagers.
"Why are you so surprised? The guardian doesn't live alone in the world. We still often contact the outside world. But you just don't know that we are the guardian lineage."
"The mountain guards are just that inheritance. It's just that they are assimilated too quickly by today's society. Many descendants of the inheritance cannot stand the bitter cold in the mountains. They have gotten used to wandering in the society and gradually lost their inheritance." Tie Jun seemed to see through Gu Yi's thoughts and explained, but his tone was a little sighed, and he drank two more sips of wine.
"So that's it. It seems that Mr. Yang Shan didn't completely guess it right." Gu Yi knew it in his heart.
"A few years ago, I bought wine from your grandfather. However, your grandfather never sold his good wine." Tie Jun said with some complaint.
"My grandfather said that as long as I can learn real skills, it doesn't matter if I drink it all out of the wine cellar." Gu Yi smiled and seductively.
"Haha, it's not that simple to want the inheritance of my guardian lineage." Tie Jun didn't mind, and took two more sips of the wine in his hand and said with deep meaning.
"But it's okay." Gu Yi's eyes were bright, and he suppressed the excitement in his heart, and he seemed to be close to him.
"Haha, then you can complete the task of accumulating a thousand dan of firewood and mining a thousand kilograms first."
"I'll tell you how to obtain the inheritance of the Shanren lineage." Iron Army suddenly laughed.
"Good wine!" He poured the last wine from the jar into his mouth, suddenly stood up, wiped the corner of his mouth, and shouted loudly towards the valley.
In the valley, the clouds tumbling.
"One word is certain!" Another young, yet determined voice sounded.
"Okay! Haha! OK! Haha!" Tie Jun was stunned for a moment, then laughed happily.
