20demayo Chapter 5 The Male and Female Duo
Chapter 5 The Male and Female Duo
Along the way, Gu Qianbei and Xiao Zhao chatted for a long time.
Xiao Zhao gradually came to understand this open-minded and carefree young winemaker.
Half an hour later, Gu Qianbei brought Xiao Zhao to Uncle Ge's house.
"Xiao Zhao, what's wrong with you?"
When Aunt Ge saw Xiao Zhao being carried back by a strange man, she was startled and quickly went up to ask what was wrong.
"Mother, I'm fine. I just twisted my ankle while gathering herbs for Father. Luckily, I ran into this young master Gu, who kindly carried me back."
Xiao Zhao quickly got off Gu Qianbei's back to explain.
Aunt Ge breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"You child, you're such a worry. I told you not to go up the mountain to collect herbs, but you still went secretly behind my back."
Aunt Ge couldn't help but gently rebuke Xiao Zhao, who knew she was in the wrong and lowered her head, not daring to argue.
After speaking, Aunt Ge turned to thank Gu Qianbei.
"Young master, thank you so much. Otherwise, I don't know how Xiao Zhao would have gotten back."
"You're too kind, Auntie. I'll be going now if there's nothing else."
"Young master, why don't you stay for a meal?"
Aunt Ge extended a warm invitation, but Gu Qianbei declined, saying, "No, I have something to do. Let's do it another day."
After speaking, Gu Qianbei turned to look at Xiao Zhao.
"Take good care of your injury. Once you're healed, I'll treat you to Sunflower Sunflower Wine."
Gu Qianbei smiled, patted his basket, and turned to leave.
"Um!"
Xiao Zhao smiled and nodded, watching Gu Qianbei leave.
The young girl's heart was clearly already imprinted with the image of this young brewer.
After putting his things away at home, Gu Qianbei went to Tongfu Inn to have lunch.
"Old Bai, spicy pork tripe, fish head in casserole, and two bowls of rice."
Gu Qianbei ordered the dishes as soon as he arrived, and Bai Zhantang responded and shouted loudly to Li Dazui in the kitchen again, thus completing the ordering process.
"Is business getting worse and worse? There's not a single customer even at midday."
Gu Qianbei looked at the empty lobby and asked.
Bai Zhantang sighed.
"Sigh, that's for sure. These two wicked duo are getting more and more vicious. Yesterday, even Uncle Ge was beaten up by them. Everyone says that no good person can escape their clutches."
Now everyone is on edge, and nobody dares to go out.
If this continues, Qixia Town might become a town of utter confusion.
Gu Qianbei smiled.
"Don't worry, this situation won't last long. It might be over soon."
Hearing this, Bai Zhantang sat down curiously next to Gu Qianbei, looked around, and whispered, "How did you know? Do you have inside information?"
"No, not at all. But judging from the movements of the duo, they should be arriving here soon. Perhaps you and I will be their next targets."
Bai Zhantang was startled and quickly stood up.
"Don't joke with me like that, I don't want to get beaten up."
"Then we can only ask Constable Xing to protect us more."
Although Gu Qianbei said that, he was actually quite eager to try it out.
Having just obtained the Golden Light Mantra, he was quite looking forward to fighting with the martial arts world.
Bai Zhantang in front of him was a worthy opponent, but since the other party did not want to reveal his martial arts skills, he could not force him.
Otherwise it would seem a bit strange.
Moreover, Bai Zhantang is a speed-based fighter. Once you're hit in acupoints by him, the fight is over, and it won't have any training effect.
However, the male and female duo are different.
Guo Furong's martial arts skills were not high, but the Surging Wave Palm she learned was a first-rate palm technique.
Most importantly, there is no danger to life.
For Gu Qianbei, this is a good opponent for his first foray into the martial arts world.
She just didn't know what level Xiaoqing, who was traveling with her, was, and whether she could handle her.
After lunch, Gu Qianbei returned to Qianchousi Market and began brewing Sunflower Sunflower Wine.
He worked for three hours before finally finishing the brewing process.
Gu Qianbei wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded in satisfaction.
"We've finally finished all the preparations. Now it's just a matter of time."
Time is a magical thing; it can change so many things.
For wine, time is the most important factor in its transformation.
Sunflower wine needs three months to transform.
Gu Qianbei looked out the window; it was already late, and the bright moon hung in the sky.
"Has it been that long? I'm actually getting a bit hungry."
Gu Qianbei was about to leave when he suddenly heard a noise coming from the roof.
"Huh? Someone's here?"
The sudden meow brought a knowing smile to Gu Qianbei's face.
"Looks like they've got their eyes on me, you two shrewd duo."
on the roof.
Xiaoqing and Guo Furong, dressed in night clothes, were resting on the roof.
"Miss, is this the new tavern you've set your sights on? And is the tavern owner also a wicked villain?"
Xiaoqing asked curiously.
"good!"
Guo Furong looked confident, as if she had already obtained evidence of Gu Qianbei's wrongdoing.
Why?
Xiaoqing became even more curious.
"Can't you smell the rich aroma of wine wafting from this tavern?"
Xiaoqing took a deep sniff, a look of ecstasy on her face.
"I smell it! Such a rich aroma of wine. I never expected that such a small town like Qixia would have such good wine."
"That's where the problem lies!"
A glint of wisdom flashed in Guo Furong's eyes.
"How can a small town have such good wine? And! With such good wine, why isn't it open for business? Is that right?"
"this……"
Xiaoqing fell into thought.
"There's only one answer! This tavern is suspicious! It's very likely a stronghold of some dark force, used specifically to contact their own people."
Xiaoqing looked puzzled.
"Miss, why must it be the forces of darkness?"
Guo Furong gave her an expression that said, "You're too young to understand."
"Think about it, could ordinary wine smell this good? It must be because they added aphrodisiac to the wine! That's how you get such a fragrant wine."
The tavern owner must be trying to lure people in with the aroma of the wine so they can taste it.
The customer will faint after just one taste, and then he can achieve his nefarious purpose!
"What?! This tavern owner is so ruthless! Miss! What are we waiting for?! Take it all away right now!"
As Xiaoqing spoke, she drew her long sword, looking eager to do so.
"No rush. Let me go in first and see what's going on. We'll strike when he makes his move. That's called catching the thief red-handed! We'll leave him speechless!"
Guo Furong said with righteous indignation.
"Alright, Miss, I'll keep watch outside. If anything happens, just shout for me!"
"no problem."
Guo Furong flipped over and jumped down from the roof, arriving at the entrance of Qianchou Si.
Da da da.
Guo Furong knocked on the door, and a moment later, Gu Qianbei opened it.
"What brings you here so late, sir? Our shop is already closed."
Gu Qianbei smiled slightly.
Seeing Gu Qianbei's handsome face, Guo Furong was somewhat surprised, thinking to herself, "What a waste of such a good appearance; it's truly a powerful tool for bewitching the common people!"
Guo Furong took out a silver ingot and threw it to Gu Qianbei.
"I want the best wine!"
