Chapter 909: Good Wine, Good Food, Good Times
“At that time, we will have no problems here,” Yang Guanfeng said . “After going out, we might have headaches, stomachaches, diarrhea, itchy skin, or blisters . Ah, we may not be able to get hard either . Think about it . ”

“Is it that magical?”
“You haven’t experienced it in person, so you don’t know . I don’t want to go through it a second time!” Yang Guanfeng still had a lingering fear from the last poisoning . That kind of burning pain was different from normal fevers caused by a cold .
“I’m actually a little afraid after you have said that,” Lu Xiufeng said . “Ah, I can understand that the purpose of studying medical skills is to cure diseases and save people . What do you think is their purpose for studying the use of poisons and poisonous insects?”
“I’ve thought about it and investigated it,” Yang Guanfeng said . “First, it was passed down by their elders . Second, poisons and poisonous insects belong to the category of medicine . Their original purpose for studying those things was probably to cure diseases and save lives, but they found another use for them, which was to kill people and deter others . Although this place is remote, wars and bandits were plenty in ancient times . That was their means of defense . ”
“You did quite a lot of work before we came here,” Lu Xiufeng said .
“Of course . I went to the library just to check it . There are some related records of them, but they are all legendary things and rumors . It has been said that their ancestors were disciples of Sun Simiao, the king of medicine . ”
“King of medicine?” Lu Xiufeng asked . “What are you talking about? That was in the Tang Dynasty, which was more than a thousand years ago!”
“Yes, but there were already records of this Valley of Thousands of Medicine in the Ming Dynasty . ”
“Hmm, if it was the Ming Dynasty, then the valley has a few hundred years of history now . ”
“That’s right . This is an ancient village,” Yang Guanfeng said . “They are located in a remote area, so several big wars did not spread here . They also rarely communicate with the outside world, so their culture could be passed down . ”
“Oh, there are quite a few secrets in such a place!”
“I also found a piece of information that said there are people over 200 years old here,” Yang Guanfeng
“200 years old?” Lu Xiufeng was shocked . “What the f*ck! Is that still human? That should be a monster!”
“Not necessarily,” Yang Guanfeng replied . “It has been said that Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang Mountain lived for more than 250 years and became immortal . ”
“What kind of character was Zhang Sanfeng . Was he a Taoist immortal?”
“That is also a rumor . According to the last population census, there were at least 20 people over 100 years old in this stockade at that time . The total population of this stockade was only 200, and that is considered quite a high proportion . ”
“Longevity, good at medicine, good at poison, good at poisonous insects… Ah, what exactly are the poisonous insects like?” Lu Xiufeng asked .
“To be honest, I have never seen them and I do not want to . ”

As they were talking, someone knocked on the door .
“Come in, please . ”

Miao Qingfeng entered the room .
“Gentlemen, the banquet is ready . Would you like to join us?”
“Sure, let’s go and have a taste of that delicious food and wine here,” Lu Xiufeng said with a smile .
The two of them went to Miao Xihe’s home with Miao Qingfeng . The banquet was rich and plentiful . All the dishes were local stockade cuisine . They were prepared to entertain the distinguished guests .
Seeing that the two men had arrived, Chief Miao got up to meet them in person . “Welcome, please take a seat . ”
“Thank you, Chief Miao, you are too kind . ”
After sitting down, Lu Xiufeng stared at the delicious food on the table .
“Oh, what’s this?”
“Ah, that is a kind of fungus that grows on our mountains,” Miao Qingfeng said . “It tastes delicious and has the effect of nourishing the body . ”
“Oh, what about this one?”
“That is a special fish from Soothing of Gods Lake . It’s very fresh and delicious . ”
“Is that so? I will have to savor it well . ” Lu Xiufeng asked about almost every dish, just like a curious toddler .
“Tut, tut, you have the treasures of heaven and Earth and outstanding people who lend glory to a place . There are so many specialties . ”
Since all of the people had arrived, the banquet was about to begin . As the chief of the stockade, Miao Xihe had brought wine to express his warm welcome to the two people . He said that he would do everything possible to help them complete their task .
According to the rules of the stockade, the banquet started after the chief spoke .

“Mmm, delicious, delicious . ” Lu Xiufeng rarely stopped working his mouth or putting down his chopsticks .
“This local food is really delicious . ” He kept raising his thumbs . Miao Qingfeng’s face was full of smiles . No matter who it was, a person would always be happy in the face of praise .
“Since it’s delicious, eat more . ”
“Sure, this wine tastes good as well . What is it brewed from?”
“It is made from a mixture of several grains in our local area . Some Chinese herbal medicines have also been added . Regular drinking can strengthen the body and prolong life . ”
“Well, I have to drink more then . Can it strengthen the loins?”
“Yes, and the effect is significant . ”
“Mmm, well, nice!” Lu Xiufeng took a big sip of wine .
No matter what, he had a great time eating the meal and even let himself go a little . Yang Guanfeng, who was seated next to him, also ate a lot of dishes and drank well .
“Ah, thank you, Chief . Thank you, Brother Qingfeng . This food is delicious, and the wine is amazing . Thank you for your warm hospitality . When you are free to go to the provincial capital, please feel free to come and find me at any time . I will hold a banquet for you!”
“Alright, it’s a deal,” Miao Xihe said with a smile .
“It’s a deal!”
“Drink up!”
“Drink up!”
That evening, Lu Xiufeng had drunk at least one bottle of wine . He laid on the table directly . He was delirious, and his memory was fragmented .
“Sorry, my colleague has forgotten himself,” said Yang Guanfeng, who had not drunk a lot . In fact, they should not drink so much wine on such occasions with their identities . They were there for work and should not drink so much . There were regulations in these aspects .
“Ah, Captain Yang, I think Captain Lu is quite a sentimental and rare person,” Miao Xihe said with a smile .
Lu Xiufeng was eventually carried back to their accommodations on a cane rack .
“I’m so sorry to have to trouble you guys . ”
“You’re welcome . Here is a hangover soup we prepared for you guys . It’s very effective . ” Miao Qingfeng asked someone to bring up a porcelain pot with a lid . It was not big .
“Thank you . ”
“If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to ask . There’s someone next door . ”
“Oh, alright . ”
“Rest well . ”
“Thank you for your hospitality . ”
After sending Miao Qingfeng away, Yang Guanfeng opened the lid and looked at the hangover soup in the porcelain pot . It was very light and had a slight medicinal fragrance . In the end, he didn’t drink any of it .
“What kind of hangover soup? Give me a bowl . ” Lu Xiufeng, who was lying on the bed, suddenly sat up .
“Hey, be careful,” Yang Guanfeng said .
Lu Xiufeng picked up the pot on the table and poured a pool . He gulped down to two bowls of it .
“Hmm, it doesn’t taste bad . Why are you not drinking it? Are you not tipsy?”
“I did not drink much, so it won’t be a problem,” Yang Guanfeng said .
The alcohol percentage of the grain wine brewed in the village was not particularly high . It would not cause much of a problem if they drank less .
“Oh, that was such good wine and it won’t exist after we leave this village . I remember that you are also someone who likes alcohol,” Lu Xiufeng said with a smile . His eyes were full of spirit . He did not look even a little drunk .
“Even so, I have to see the situation clearly . It’s not good to drink too much here . There might even be seasoning in it,” he softly said, pointing to the hangover soup .
“You are so worried about this and that . You think too much . A typical example of once bitten twice shy . I carefully observed this evening . Miao Xihe is definitely a great character . It is just that he lives in this small stockade . If he were to change where he lived, he would be able to achieve a considerable career . ”
“You think very highly of him!”
“Of course, he is one of the top few people I’ve seen over the years . He is not that narrow-minded . He won’t use those shameless means in these aspects . But your worry is not superfluous . For that kind of person, if he wanted to take action against someone, he would be heavy-handed and make sure that the other party would never have a chance of turning over . ” Speaking of that, Lu Xiufeng gulped down another bowl of the hangover soup .
“Hey, are you not going to taste it? It’s delicious . ”
“No, thank you . ”
“Where are the other people?”
Attendees at the banquet include Miao Xihe and some old people from the village . They all seemed to be in their 70s . According to the introduction from Miao Xihe, they were all the more prestigious village elders .
“Those people were in awe of the Miao Xihe . ”
“What else?”
“I think one of them is dissatisfied with Miao Xihe . ”
“Oh, which one?”
“The man named Miao Yuntian . ”
“He was at the second table diagonally opposite us . He was the one who was a little taller, thin, and had a slightly green eye socket . ”
