The pilgrim's dagger was still placed in front of the child's throat. He glanced sideways at the wine jar and suddenly realized something was wrong.
There is a small gap in the mud sealing part of the wine jar. It seems that it is caused by man.
The pilgrim suddenly sneered in his heart and played tricks on me. I eat more salt than you eat rice!
At this moment, the pilgrims had concluded that there was definitely something added to the wine.
The pilgrim suddenly showed a sly smile and said to Chai Yan: "Little brother, you brought such a good wine out of your kindness, how can I enjoy it alone? Come, let's drink together..."
After saying that, the pilgrim looked at Sui Liang and said, "Bring the bowl!"
"Yes..." Sui Liang trembled with fright and hurriedly ran out to get the drinking bowl.
Chai Yan thought to himself, I knew you would be suspicious...
Not long after, I heard the sound of bowls being thrown outside...
"Yes...I'm sorry, I...I'll get it again..."
Then, Sui Liang's timid voice came.
When the pilgrims heard this, they immediately showed contempt and cursed: "Stupid pig!"
When Sui Liang brought the porcelain bowl, the pilgrim said: "Open the wine and pour it!"
Sui Liang did not dare to make a mistake, so he hurriedly went to pat the mud sealing the mouth of the altar.
When the pilgrim saw his irritable movements, he said angrily: "If the wine is smashed, your son's life will be lost!"
Sui Liang didn't dare to move for a while. His hands were shaking so much that if he poured wine later, the wine jar might be smashed.
Chai Yan said: "Look, you scared him so much, let me do it."
The pilgrim only asked if there were any hostages in hand. Chai Yan probably didn't dare to act rashly, so he said: "Then you come!"
Chai Yan took Sui Liang's place with a calm expression, and then he slowly patted off the mud sealing the mouth of the altar. After removing the seal, he filled the two empty bowls with wine.
Chai Yan picked up a bowl and placed it at the far end of the table, saying: "When you smell the aroma, you know it is a good wine. Please..."
The pilgrim twitched his lips slightly and shouted: "Fat man, why are you standing there in a daze? Serve the wine!"
Sui Liang thought that the pilgrim asked him to bring the wine to him, so he went over and picked it up carefully. Just as he was about to go to the pilgrim, he stopped him.
"Who asked you to come here? This bowl is yours!" said the pilgrim.
Sui Liang was stunned immediately, not knowing whether what the pilgrim said was true or false.
The pilgrim turned to look at Chai Yan again, but Chai Yan didn't wait for him to speak. He consciously picked up the wine bowl in front of him and said, "So it seems that this bowl of wine is just for me?"
"Smart! Don't be polite little brother, good wine should be enjoyed by everyone together!" the pilgrim said with a smile.
Chai Yan didn't hesitate, raised his head and started drinking. After a few "gulps, gurgles", the wine bowl reached the bottom.
"Fat man, why are you still standing there?" The pilgrim glanced at Sui Liang.
Chai Yan nodded to Sui Liang and said in a gentle voice: "Drink! If we don't drink, he won't feel at ease!"
Sui Liang finally understood that the pilgrims were worried that the wine was drugged, so they let him and Chai Yan drink first.
Sui Liang saw that Chai Yan drank so happily and his eyes looked calm and composed, so he believed that there should be no problem with the wine.
After Sui Liang drank the wine in one gulp, the pilgrim immediately smiled and said: "Okay, okay, you two have a good capacity for drinking!"
Chai Yan looked at the pilgrims with disdain and asked, "Do you think I would be so mean as to poison the wine?"
The pilgrim-seeker said disapprovingly: "That's not true. The so-called guarding against others is indispensable! If the wine is okay, then each of you will have a bowl of good wine to drink. Isn't it wonderful?"
Chai Yan smiled and continued: "Haha, if the wine is poisonous, I will bring it upon myself, right?"
"Hahaha, you're smart, let's just call you smart!" the pilgrim laughed.
Chai Yan suddenly stopped smiling, spread his hands and asked: "Are you satisfied now?"
"What's the hurry..."
The pilgrims are still watching and waiting. Even if the wine is poisonous, it will take some time for the poison to develop.
Chai Yan was also waiting, waiting for the pilgrims to confirm that the wine was fine, and then look for an opportunity to throw in the heartbroken beans!
After waiting for more than a stick of incense, the pilgrims discovered that both Chai Yan and Sui Liang were in good condition and showed no signs of poisoning or discomfort.
The pilgrim thought to himself: It seems that there is indeed nothing wrong with this jar of wine. The small piece of mud that fell off must have been accidentally knocked off...
By this time, the aroma of wine had permeated the whole room, and the wine bug in the pilgrim's stomach was slowly aroused. In addition, the wound on his arm was aching faintly, and the desire to drink became more intense.
"Fat man, pour the wine!"
The pilgrim finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Sui Liang hurriedly said: "Well then...then I...I'll get a clean bowl..."
With that said, Sui Liang was about to go to the kitchen to get a bowl.
"Come back!" The pilgrim stopped Sui Liang, pointed to the wine jar on the table and said, "I don't have time to wait for you, just bring the whole jar!"
Chai Yan's heart trembled, and he knew he couldn't wait any longer. There was only one chance! Once the wine jar was in Sui Liang's hands, he would have no chance to put in the heartbroken beans again.
"Forget it, I'll do it..."
Before he finished speaking, Chai Yan decisively stretched out his right hand, grabbed the mouth of the jar, and then lifted the wine jar off the table, preparing to hand it to the pilgrim himself.
"Stop!" As the pilgrim spoke, the tip of the knife was once again pressed against Sui Liang's son's throat.
Chai Yan immediately stopped moving forward.
"Back off!" the pilgrim said with a glare.
Chai Yan obediently retreated behind the table, but still held the wine jar in his hand.
"Fat man, go and bring the wine!" the pilgrim signaled.
The pilgrim would not give Chai Yan a chance to get close to him. He had already experienced Chai Yan's power. If he were invulnerable and pounced on him, he would not be sure to slit the hostage's throat first.
If that's the case, I'm afraid I'll have to confess here tonight!
"But, I...I'm afraid..." Sui Liang was afraid that his hands would slip and he would accidentally smash the wine jar.
The pilgrim threatened fiercely: "Okay! Don't you dare to disobey me..."
"No, no, no, I listen, I listen..."
Sui Liang quickly agreed, and then walked to Chai Yan obediently, stretching out his hands to take the wine jar.
Chai Yan picked up the wine jar and put it in Sui Liang's arms, warning: "You must hold it securely!"
Sui Liang swallowed and said: "Definitely, definitely!"
At this time, Chai Yan's right palm began to slowly open...
At the same time, Chai Yan also shouted in his heart: "Now!"
