Looking in the direction Wei Gang pointed, he saw a bamboo house in the bamboo forest. There was some white smoke coming out in front of the house, and the smell of meat could be smelled from a distance.
Someone is obviously cooking.
Whether it was because he had walked too much or because it was time for dinner, Li Qi's stomach couldn't help but growl.
When he came to the fence, Li Qi stretched his neck and looked inside, and found that there was no one inside.
After thinking for a while, Li Qi shouted at the top of his lungs: "Is there anyone there?"
The voice fell, but there was no response.
Li Qi glanced at Wei Gang and said, "Monk, let's go in and take a look."
Wei Gang nodded and pushed open the fence door. When the two came to the yard, they saw a casserole on an open-air stove not far away, and the smell of meat emanated from it.
Li Qi was a little curious about what kind of human flesh could produce such a fragrant flavor, so he walked over and opened the casserole with the linen cloth placed aside. He saw that there was milky white soup inside, but he didn't know what kind of meat was being cooked.
At this moment, a voice rang: "What are you doing?"
Hearing the voice, Li Qi was stunned for a moment because the voice was somewhat familiar.
Turning around, I saw an old man sitting on the edge of the threshold holding a wine gourd, with a smile on his face: "Why, are you hungry? You have to cook it for a while before you can eat it."
This old man is none other than the old Suntou whom I met in the town before.
"Why are you here?" Li Qi looked at him with confusion and asked.
Lao Suntou took a sip of the wine in the gourd and said, "I still want to ask you this, aren't you going to Lion Rock? Why are you here?"
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not lost. I just came here. I didn't expect to see the old gentleman here. It's really fate."
The map Bai Yuze gave to Li Qi points to this place.
And what does it mean that Old Suntou appears here?
It means that the "Shengshu" is most likely in his hands!
Lao Suntou smiled and said: "Is it really fate? I can't see it..."
Lao Suntou slowly stood up and did not continue talking. Instead, he wandered to the stove, opened the lid of the pot with his bare hands, pouted and sniffed: "Well, it's almost done, you can eat...
…The bowls and chopsticks are in the room, go and get them.”
"good!"
Li Qi said and entered the house.
The bamboo house is not big, and the furnishings inside are very simple, including a bed, a cabinet, an Eight Immortals table, and two benches.
Li Qi opened the cabinet and took three pairs of bowls and chopsticks from inside. After placing the bowls and chopsticks neatly on the table, Lao Suntou walked in carrying a casserole.
Putting the casserole in the middle, Li Qi sat down and picked up the chopsticks without any politeness to taste the meat in the casserole.
Lao Suntou didn't care at all and just drank by himself.
Li Qi took out a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. It almost melted in his mouth. Not only was the meat tender, but it was also a little sweet, just like eating jelly. It was very chewy.
"You don't even ask what kind of meat is in this, and you just eat it? Aren't you afraid that it's poisonous?" Lao Suntou said.
Li Qi was stunned and felt something bad for a moment: "Old sir, what kind of meat is in this?"
"Snake meat." Old Suntou said.
Li Qi suddenly felt his stomach churning because he thought of the giant python that he and Wei Gang killed that day.
"And it's not ordinary snake meat, but green bamboo snake. This kind of snake is very venomous. Generally, if you are bitten by it, you will never survive for twelve hours."
Hearing this, Li Qi's expression changed. He blinked and stared at Old Sun: "Old sir, we have no grievances... you..."
Lao Suntou grinned and said, "I'm not forcing you to eat, you want to eat it yourself."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Li Qi cried sadly.
Without caring about anything else, he took out Feiyan Village's antidote from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth.
"No matter what medicine you take, it won't help. There is only one antidote to this poison..." Old Suntou said with a smile, "But I don't have much of this kind of antidote..."
As he said that, he took another sip of the wine in the gourd, then shook the gourd, and soon there was a slight noise. It was obvious that there was not much wine in the gourd.
"To eat this kind of green bamboo snake, you must be worthy of the nectar rain forest, otherwise you are seeking death. It's a pity that this nectar rain forest is a rare wine. Seeing as you invited me to drink in the first place, I still have some here. You
Drink it." Old Suntou handed over the gourd.
Damn it, grandma, you didn’t tell me earlier!
Li Qi had no intention of getting the gourd, which made Old Suntou a little confused.
Li Qi glanced at Wei Gang and said, "Monk, serve the wine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Gang took out an exquisite wine flask and several three wine glasses from the package.
Li Qi opened the jug, poured a glass of wine, and drank it in one gulp. Only then did he feel at ease.
Old Man Sun stared at the pot of wine in Li Qi's hand: "Is this 30-year-old nectar from the rainforest?"
Li Qi didn't know the age of this wine. When Bai Yuze gave it to him, he still didn't want it.
"Have you been to Tianji Mountain?" Lao Suntou asked.
Li Qi nodded, smiled and said, "I stayed there for a few days. I have a friend who works there."
"Friend? What kind of friend can give you such a precious nectar rainforest?" Old Suntou licked his lips, swallowed a sip of saliva, and stared at the wine bottle.
Li Qi smiled when he saw this and said, "Old sir, do you want to drink?"
Lao Sun banged his head and smacked his lips and said, "You have such good wine, are you willing to let me drink it?"
"What's the point of being reluctant? I ate your snake soup and you drank my wine. Isn't that what you should do?" After saying that, Li Qi took the wine glass, poured a glass of wine and handed it to Lao Suntou.
Lao Sun picked up the wine glass, took a leisurely sip, and said: "Good wine! Good wine! The nectar rainforest in these thirty years is just different!"
As he said that, he lowered the gourd and said, "Can you pour more for the old man to drink, little friend?"
"What's this?" Li Qi poured a pot of wine directly into the gourd very boldly.
Seeing how generous Li Qi was, the corners of Lao Suntou's mouth almost reached the corners of his eyebrows.
"If you like this snake soup, you can eat more of it," Lao Suntou said in return.
Li Qi waved his hand: "Although this snake meat is delicious, I still have some..."
Grandma's, if I knew it was snake meat, I would kill me not to eat it.
With the wine in hand, Lao Suntou buried his head in his throat and began to drink. Before he even took a sip, he sighed and recited a few limericks.
"Good wine, good wine, long lasting, wine and fun, happy every day..."
After a while, Lao Suntou was almost drunk, and without caring about Li Qi and Wei Gang, he just lay down on the table and fell asleep.
