[Subscribe Please]_2 Lin Baici reached out his hand to support the soft cloth stopper, intending to push it up a bit to create a crack, but the mont he exerted so force, soone forcefully pressed down on it from the outside.
The wine vat was one and a half ters tall, and because it contained wine, Lin Baici couldn’t squat or sit down; he could only stand.
However, at this height, he had to bend over, which was painfully uncomfortable.
“Hang in there for a bit longer!”
Lin Baici comforted himself, stretching his hand out to feel around the wine vat, searching for any irregularities.
[An ordinary wine vat, nothing special about it, the wine is brewed from fruit pulp and grains.
Because of the backward ferntation technology, the wine is full of impurities!]
[Do not drink it, it will give you diarrhea!]
Lin Baici listened carefully.
The wine cellar was very quiet.
After just witnessing the brutal killing thods of the pale-faced chief eunuch, everyone cooperated by crawling into wine vats without needing the chief eunuch to resort to violence, as a knife is not as hard as a neck.
Moreover, since Lin Baici had crawled in, they certainly didn’t think they were tougher than him.
“It is a great honor for you all to serve as dicine servers for the King’s wine brewing.”
“This wine is intended for the King’s consumption, so you must be careful.
Do not urinate or pass gas in the wine vat, do not spit, and certainly do not drink any!”
“If there is any mishap, ruining the quality of the wine, you will be torn apart by horses and all your clans will be exterminated!”
“Rember, you must always stay subrged in the wine, do not leave.
I will co later to collect the wine and if the dicine server’s scent in the wine is not strong enough, you will be put to death by branding!”
The chief eunuch gave several more warnings before he left.
As the soldiers took away the torches and sealed the cellar door, locking it, the entire wine cellar sank into darkness.
[You can get out now, if you soak any longer, you’ll be pickled through and through!]
Lin Baici braced his hands against the soft cloth stopper and pushed hard upward.
Pop!
The stopper made a soft sound and opened up.
Whoosh,
Lin Baici got to his feet, wiping his face from the wine and took deep breaths.
“Everyone co out, it’s safe for now!”
Lin Baici yelled out.
Pop!
Pop!
Pop!
Everyone pushed their cloth stoppers open and stuck their heads out.
“I almost suffocated!”
“It’s so dark, does anyone have a light?
Light sothing!”
“Ptooey, ptooey, this wine is so sour!”
Everyone complained noisily.
Lin Baici took out a pine torch and struck it against the outside of the wine vat.
Hiss!
The fla ignited, spreading an orange glow, lighting up the area around Lin Baici.
Lin Baici found Xia Hongyao and Hua Yue Yu; their chosen wine vats were right beside his, spaced by three vats apart.
The two nearest vats had been claid by Du Xin and Gu Rongjie.
“Little Bai!”
Hua Yue Yu looked like a child in her baggy hemp robes.
Xia Hongyao’s attire, on the other hand, was tight, especially around her chest.
It could not contain her bust, which bulged as if she had two large papayas hidden inside.
“Is that King a pervert?
Drinking such stuff?
Just thinking about it makes nauseous!”
Du Xin expressed her disgust; her hair was stuck to her face, which was very uncomfortable.
She wanted to remove it and desperately needed a shower.
“Ever drank boy’s urine?
Ever eaten ‘three squeaks’?”
Guo Zheng thought Du Xin was making a fuss over nothing: “I won’t even ntion ‘purple river car’ or ‘bi-legged lamb.’ Just knowing about them would disgust you to death.”
So emperors in history did absurd things in the na of health and quest for immortality.
“Never mind what that King is, what do we do now?
Just soak like this?”
Gu Rongjie, half-subrged in the wine, saw Lin Baici sitting at the mouth of the vat with only his feet soaked and quickly reminded him, “God Lin, be careful, or if our scent isn’t strong enough later in the wine, we’ll be killed!”
“Shouldn’t we explore this wine cellar first?
If there’s a secret passage or a doghole or sothing, we might escape!”
Hua Yue Yu suggested.
People looked at each other; the idea was good, but the problem was,
Who would go?
Because of the chief eunuch’s warning, no one dared to leave the wine.
“You two, search the wine cellar for anything unusual and co back imdiately to report,” Guo Zheng directed.
It was two young n.
They hung their heads low, unwilling to go.
“Damn it, can’t you understand ?”
Guo Zheng grew angry, “Believe it or not, I’ll use Divine Grace to smash open your wine vats right now?”
“God Lin!”
The two young n looked to Lin Baici for help.
“Are you looking to die?”
Guo Zheng cursed.
Lin Baici climbed out of the wine vat, donned wooden clogs, and started walking around the wine cellar, observing the environnt.
He ignored the two young n; at a ti like this, not trying to save oneself and focusing only on one’s safety was too pathetic.
“Little Bai!”
“Little Linzi!”
Hua Yue Yu and Xia Hongyao were startled when they saw Lin Baici’s movents.
“God Lin, don’t take risks,” Gu Rongjie worried.
If Lin Baici died, whose coattails would she cling to?
“Do you think that chief eunuch is a good person?” Lin Baici was speechless, “Most likely there’s sothing wrong with this wine; if we soak too long, I suspect our bodies will suffer!”
Everyone fell silent; this was a very probable possibility.
The female broadcaster and High Ponytail ca out and, shuffling in their wooden clogs, scurried to Lin Baici’s side, ready to join him in searching the wine cellar.
Gu Rongjie was conflicted.
She had considered the possibility ntioned by Lin Baici.
But what could she do?
If she left the vat, the wine wouldn’t develop the right scent; how would she face the eunuch then?
He was soone who could decapitate a person at any mont.
If she didn’t leave, there was just the potential problem with her body.
So Gu Rongjie took a gamble and stayed in the wine vat.
