Chapter 161: Night Party Toast
Chapter 161: Toast at night
The bright moon leaves the branches and shocks the magpies, the breeze sings in the middle of the night. The fragrance of rice flowers says good fortune, and listen to the sound of frogs.
Seven or eight stars outside the sky, two or three rainy spots in front of the mountain, and the old-time, the road turned and the stream bridge suddenly appeared.
——"Xijiang Moon·Walking on the Yellow Sand Road at Night"
Countless illuminated torches were inserted into a full circle along the edge of the glutinous field west of Mengjia Village.
In the center of the dam, a huge bonfire was burning. Around the giant bonfire, more than a dozen small bonfires were piled up.
At this moment, the glutinous field was filled with fire and shadows.
The women and children from Mengjia Village were jumping around the huge bonfire in the middle of the burgundy yard, singing and dancing.
The men were divided into dozens of groups, sitting around the small bonfires around them, grilling the wolf meat in their hands, talking with others, eating home-cooked dishes, or drinking wine, all with smiles.
Just now, when everyone was dealing with the corpses of the fifteen evil wolf, they were surprised to get three purple-brown beast spirit pills and eight gray-brown beast spirit pills.
On these fifteen ordinary beasts, except for four of them that failed to condense a beast spirit pill, the other eleven beasts were lucky enough to harvest three purple-brown beast spirit pills. This was an unexpected surprise that everyone would never even dream of.
If we calculate based on the exchange ratio on the black market in Motuocheng now, a purple-brown beast spirit pill can be exchanged for five gray-brown beast spirit pills, then the villagers of the Meng family have harvested a total of twenty-three gray-brown beast spirit pills in their hands.
On the current black market in Motuocheng, the purchase price of a gray-brown beast spirit pill is about four taels of silver to twenty-eight taels of silver.
If you budget by taking the intermediate value, the total value of these twenty-three gray-brown beast spirit pills is about 512 taels of silver.
And even if the population of Mengjia Village is distributed equally according to the current population, every villager can get more than one tael of silver.
Today, not only is it because of the great harm from the back mountain, but also because we have obtained so much money for no reason, so everyone is naturally very happy.
Before the villagers took the pills from the evil wolf, the village chief Meng Weishan left a bold statement. Today, the whole village of Mengjia Village eats, drinks and plays. All the expenses are borne by the village chief Meng Weishan alone.
Therefore, the wine-loving men in Mengjia Village were lined up to toast village chief Meng Weishan at this moment.
Village chief Meng Weishan glanced at the people who came to toast him and frowned slightly.
Even if Meng Weishan has a strong alcohol tolerance, he can't stand the battle of the wheels that the villagers have joined forces. After all, Meng Weishan's alcohol tolerance is limited.
After drinking the glass of wine in his hand, Meng Weishan scratched his head helplessly. However, at this moment, his mind flashed with a flash of inspiration and then smiled at the toasts: "Brothers, everyone think about it. Can you only toast me, Meng Weishan, today?"
As soon as Meng Weishan said this, the toast team caused a stir. Everyone stopped and started talking in two or three places.
"The village chief is right. Today's wine should be a toast to our great hero Meng Zhize!"
"Uncle San, are you really confused? Meng Zhize's great hero was seriously injured and fell asleep. How should you toast with this wine?"
"Yes! Could it be that the third uncle wants to force the hero to drink wine in the hero's mouth while Meng Zhize is still sleeping?"
"Oh...what should I do? I can't respect the village chief, and I can't respect the great hero Meng Zhize. So who should I toast this wine?"
"Uncle II, are you too confused? Keep thinking about it, who else is the one who killed our beast king in the back mountain this time?"
"Boy, how do you talk to the elders? Uh... by the way, we should also respect the brother and sister Mengyaoyao and Mengyouyou."
"Well, that's right. It seems that our second uncle is not completely confused yet."
"Boy, it's getting more and more distorted..."
...
Everyone toasted, discussed it all over and over again. After a while of discussion, everyone picked up their own wine bowls and walked towards Meng Yaoyao and Meng Youyou.
Meng Weishan felt relieved when he saw that everyone stopped pestering him.
Meng Youyou is currently in the tent in the northwest corner, waiting for Meng Zhize who is still sleeping and is leaving Meng Yaoyao alone to eat meat outside.
At this moment, Meng Yaoyao was sitting by a bonfire, gnawing on a piece of barbecue with relish. Suddenly, she saw a group of villagers walking towards her with wine bowls. Meng Yaoyao was stunned.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at everyone with a confused look on his face. The barbecue in his hand suddenly slid down from his hand, but he had no idea.
At this time, an elderly villager rushed to Meng Yaoyao excitedly. He raised his wine bowl with both hands and said excitedly to Meng Yaoyao: "Meng Shaoxia, I wish you a bowl of wine. Thank you for removing a major harm to our village. We can go to the fields to work safely in the future."
Meng Yaoyao saw that the elderly villager was too enthusiastic, and he felt warm. He immediately stood up, bowed to the elderly villager with his fists, shook his head and said, "Uncle, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't drink it. I'm really sorry for the rest of the world."
The elderly villager was stunned when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said with a smile: "It's okay, since Young Master Meng can't drink wine, he can drink water."
Meng Yaoyao nodded to the elderly villager, then took a bowl of water, raised the bowl of water with both hands, and said to the elderly villager: "Please, please!"
"Okay! I'm going to do it first." The elderly villager smiled very readily, then suddenly raised his head and drank all the wine in the wine bowl in his hand in one breath.
Seeing this, Meng Yaoyao opened her mouth wide. After hesitating for a while, Meng Yaoyao hurriedly raised her hand and put the water bowl to her mouth. She imitated the elderly villager and then raised her head and drank the cold water in the water bowl.
But Meng Yaoyao just poured a mouthful of cold water into her mouth, and then because she drank too quickly, she immediately choked and sprayed out a sip of water. The sprayed water mist was not biased, and it happened to hit the toasted elderly villager.
And those who were toasting who were coming up suddenly saw this scene and couldn't help laughing loudly.
The elderly villager was toasted kindly, but suddenly was sprayed with water by Meng Yaoyao. At this moment, he heard the laughter near him. The elderly villager suddenly turned pale and stood there in a daze.
Meng Yaoyao saw that her sudden actions were too rude, and she immediately scratched her head at a loss.
After a moment of silence, Meng Yaoyao took a step forward, stretched out her sleeve and wanted to wipe the water stains on the elderly villager.
The older villager was startled by Meng Yaoyao's actions. He quickly took a few steps back and shook his head and said, "Meng...Meng Young Master, please...please stay."
Meng Yaoyao was tilted when she heard this and was about to speak, but she saw the elderly villager turning around and leaving quickly in the crowd. Looking at the old villager's back as he left, a hint of self-blame and shame appeared on Meng Yaoyao's face.
After experiencing this somewhat embarrassing little episode, among the toasts, a young man quickly walked out and stood in front of Meng Yaoyao.
The young man still held the wine bowl with his hands, bowed to Meng Yaoyao, and said, "Meng Hero, I'll give you a bowl of wine."
Meng Yaoyao was stunned when she heard this, then slowly looked up at the young man who was toasting and said, "Brother, I can't drink wine, so don't be so polite."
The young man smiled slightly and said, "Dream heroes can't drink alcohol, they can drink water! I'll do it first."
After saying that, the young man instantly raised the wine bowl, drank the wine in the bowl in one breath, and praised: "Good wine!"
After the young man said the word "good wine", he immediately turned the bowl down and shook it in front of Meng Yaoyao for a few times, saying, "Thank you today for the hero Meng to give me a big harm to this village. In the future, we will never have to worry about encountering any advanced animal species and losing our lives."
Meng Yaoyao saw the young man and had already drunk a drop of the wine in the bowl. In order to avoid the previous embarrassment incident again, Meng Yaoyao deliberately turned sideways slightly, avoided the face-to-face with the young man, and then raised her own water bowl and slowly drank the cold water in the water bowl.
After Meng Yaoyao drank the cold water in the bowl, everyone who toasted suddenly applauded, and someone took advantage of the situation and cheered: "Meng Hero is good at drinking."
As soon as this statement was spoken, it immediately caused constant laughter.
Meng Yaoyao put the bowl that had drunk all the water, imitated the young man, and turned the bowl downwards, and smiled awkwardly, "Thank you for your kindness, brother."
The toasted young man looked at Meng Yaoyao and smiled at each other, and then he immediately stepped back consciously.
"Meng Yingxiong, I'll come to toast you a bowl of wine." After the young man who toasted earlier retreated, another middle-aged man stood up and walked to Meng Yaoyao. The middle-aged man quickly raised his wine bowl and smiled slightly at Meng Yaoyao.
Meng Yaoyao was stunned immediately. His eyes suddenly turned, and then one hand was pressed on his stomach, while the other hand waved at the middle-aged man and smiled: "Oh! No! No... I'm sorry, uncle! I suddenly became extremely anxious and had to go to the thatch."
The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard this, then lowered the wine bowl, nodded at Meng Yaoyao, and smiled and said, "Please give me some advice!"
Meng Yaoyao saw that the middle-aged man was not embarrassed by him, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He quickly put down the empty bowl in his hand, turned around and left.
...
On the only dirt road leading to Yunli Town in Mengjia Village, the horse's hooves stepped on and a carriage rushed past.
The carriage "Gra" and "Gra" sounded, and the wooden wheels splashed a series of gray mist, instantly blurring the vision behind.
At this moment, there was another young man sitting next to the coachman who was driving the carriage. A knife was hanging around his waist. He stared at the front with a cold look, and from time to time he looked around with vigilance, as if he wanted to search for something in this vast night sea.
"Go... After passing the bend in front, you will go straight." The groom suddenly raised his whip, whipped hard on the horse's back, and then said lightly.
"Well, after passing the bend in front, it's not very far from the town." The young man nodded, still looking at things along the way with a look of vigilance. With the hazy moonlight, he looked at things along the way from time to time.
The groom turned his head slightly, glanced at the young man beside him, hesitated for a while, and suddenly said, "Brother Meng Hua, who is the sacred person who came to the hospital this time? He didn't even charge money. My master was still happy with such a loss-making business. It's really incredible!"
The young man sitting next to the groom was Meng Hua, a strong man from the Meng Family Villagers' Guard Group.
Meng Hua was silent when he heard this. After a while, Meng Hua slowly shook his head and said, "As for this question, you should ask your master yourself! After all, it is difficult for a girl to figure out what she thinks about."
"What are you two muttering outside? Why don't you hurry your way, stop talking nonsense." A woman's voice sounded in the carriage.
The two driving were silent, then they looked at each other and smiled, never talked to each other again, and focused on driving the carriage.
