Chapter 155 Wu Song fights the tiger
Yun Dan also sighed with emotion, "Yes, wine can relieve worries and also enhance the mood."
It's also a great way for us江湖人 (jianghu people, people from all walks of life) to connect and build relationships.
However, we must drink in moderation; we can't be like those alcoholics, always drunk.
Leng Xiyue nodded and smiled, "Yes, yes, drinking can lead to trouble. Moderation is key. Come on, let's have another drink!"
Yun Dan also raised her glass with a smile, but then changed the subject and said, "Speaking of drinking causing trouble, I've also heard of a great hero who drank to a certain level and could even talk to the wine."
Leng Xiyue asked in surprise, "Talking to wine? That's really novel."
"Xiao Yundan, tell me quickly how you talk to the wine?"
Yun Dan laughed and said, "Once, this hero got drunk, picked up a bottle of wine and started muttering to himself, saying that the wine was different from usual today."
Then he answered himself, saying that he wanted the wine to taste it too.
After saying that, he gulped down the entire bottle of wine.
Leng Xiyue couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "Little Yundan, are you teasing Uncle Leng? Haha..."
Yun Dan continued, "And another time, this hero was drinking with some friends, and they all got drunk."
Then the hero started acting crazy while drunk. He stood up, pointed at the wine glasses on the table, and said that he would let them know who was the boss at this table.
After saying that, he collapsed onto the table, unconscious.
Leng Xiyue laughed so hard she almost fell over after hearing this: "This hero really reveals his true colors after drinking!"
However, it's true that drinking should be done in moderation; one shouldn't get completely drunk like him.
Yun Dan nodded and smiled, "Yes, yes, drinking can lead to trouble. Moderation is the best."
"Come on, let's have another drink, but this time we have to take it easy!"
The two continued eating, drinking, and chatting.
Leng Xiyue: "Not bad, not bad, there's good wine here. It feels like being here has a different flavor."
Yun Dan: "Once I've made this strong liquor, I'll show you what true liquor is: 'This liquor is only found in heaven, and can be tasted only a few times on earth.'"
Leng Xiyue was also amused by Lin Yundan's humor and laughed heartily, making the atmosphere between the two even more harmonious.
He shook his head and said with feigned helplessness, "Alright, alright, Uncle Leng, we'll wait and see."
Then we'll see what's so special about your "this wine should only exist in heaven, rarely tasted on earth."
Yun Dan smiled mysteriously, her eyes gleaming with confidence.
She said to Leng Xiyue, "Don't you believe me? I'll give this strong liquor a name: 'Three Bowls and You Can't Cross the Hill'."
Leng Xiyue asked curiously, "Oh, why is it called 'Three Bowls and You Can't Cross the Hill'? Is there any hidden meaning behind it?"
Yun Dan smiled slightly, keeping everyone in suspense.
"Although it's just the name of a wine, it actually contains the story of 108 heroes."
Leng Xiyue's interest was piqued by Yun Dan's words.
"Tell me quickly, tell me quickly, what is the connection between these 108 heroes and the name of this wine? What is the story behind it?"
Yun Dan suddenly burst into a demonic laugh, as if she had discovered some cosmic joke.
"Pfft haha... Uncle Leng, do you know? I almost said this wine should be called 'Forget Love Potion'."
That way, I can tell you a story while giving a live karaoke-level performance!
Thinking about it makes me feel so talented, haha…
As Yun Dan was talking, she suddenly burst into laughter without warning, laughing so hard she was doubled over.
Her laughter left Leng Xiyue completely bewildered, having no idea what was going on.
She was thinking, "Weren't we just talking about the story of the 108 heroes behind the 'Three Bowls and You Can't Cross the Hill' incident? Why is she suddenly laughing to herself?"
Leng Xiyue stared blankly at Yun Dan, her bright eyes filled with confusion and curiosity.
Gradually, Leng Xiyue was also infected by Yun Dan's joyful atmosphere.
The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly, and finally he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Leng Xiyue's laughter seemed to echo Yun Dan's laughter, making Yun Dan laugh even harder.
She clutched her stomach, laughing so hard tears were almost streaming down her face: "Haha, Uncle Leng, I just couldn't help laughing like that. My stomach hurts from laughing so much, haha..."
After the laughter subsided, Yun Dan finally put away her joking expression and began to seriously tell Leng Xiyue the story behind "Three Bowls and You Can't Cross the Hill".
She said to Uncle Leng, "Uncle Leng, the story of the 108 heroes of Liangshan is too long and exciting to tell in a short time."
How about this, I'll tell you the little story behind the "three bowls before crossing the hill" incident.
Uncle Leng's eyes flashed with interest upon hearing this. He smiled and nodded, signaling Yun Dan to continue.
Yun Dan gradually began to recall the events she had witnessed in her previous life. After all, she had been here for several years and had been wandering in the void for so long that she had almost forgotten many things.
After thinking for a long time, she slowly immersed herself in the story of Water Margin and began to tell it in a gentle and detailed manner.
"At the end of the Song Dynasty, there was a hero who was famous throughout the martial arts world. His name was Wu Song."
He was tall and strong, incredibly powerful, and highly skilled in martial arts. He was also a righteous man, a rare hero in the martial arts world.
On this day, Wu Song was passing by Jingyang Ridge on his way to do something when he saw a small restaurant at the foot of the mountain. The signboard at the entrance of the restaurant prominently displayed the five characters "Three Bowls and You Can't Cross the Ridge".
Wu Song was curious: what made this restaurant so confident that it dared to make such a boast?
So he strode into the restaurant, intending to find out what was going on.
"The restaurant owner saw that Wu Song had an extraordinary presence and knew that he was a martial arts expert, so he warmly greeted him."
As he poured wine for Wu Song, he introduced, "Sir, you may not know this, but the wine in my restaurant is brewed with the finest grains and secret medicinal herbs. It has a rich aroma and a strong aftertaste."
An ordinary person would feel dizzy and unable to cross a hill after drinking three bowls of this.
That's why my restaurant is known as "Three Bowls and You're Done" (a Chinese idiom meaning one must eat three bowls of wine before crossing the hill).
Wu Song, a man who loved wine, found this even more intriguing and laughed, saying, "In that case, I'd like to try this wine and see what's so special about it."
"So Wu Song picked up the wine cup and drank three bowls without thinking. He found the wine to be fragrant and sweet, with no aftereffects."
He secretly admired the wine, thinking that it truly lived up to its reputation.
Wu Song was a hero when it came to drinking; how could he be satisfied with just three bowls?
He simply ordered a few more bowls and drank them all in one go. In one gulp, he drank eighteen large bowls.
Wu Song felt the effects of the wine rising in his head, his face flushing red, but he remained lucid.
The restaurant owner was secretly surprised to see Wu Song drinking so heartily, and he was afraid that Wu Song would encounter danger when he crossed the hill.
So he kindly reminded him, "Sir, you have already drunk so much wine, it is probably not advisable for you to cross the hill any further."
"Why don't we rest here for a while and wait until the effects of the alcohol wear off before continuing?"
Wu Song laughed heartily and said, "It's alright, it's alright. I'm naturally bold, why would I be afraid of the jackals and tigers on the hill?"
After saying this, Wu Song picked up his cudgel and swayed as he left the restaurant.
He staggered up the hill, and sure enough, not long after, just as he was about to lose consciousness, he encountered a ferocious tiger.
Seeing Wu Song's drunken state, the tiger assumed he was an easy prey and pounced on him.
But Wu Song was no ordinary man. Fueled by alcohol and possessing exceptional martial arts skills, he engaged in a fierce battle with the tiger.
Wu Song dodged left and right, skillfully avoiding the tiger's attack.
He seized the opportunity and leaped forward, smashing his cudgel hard on the tiger's head.
The tiger roared in pain, and Wu Song seized the opportunity to grab its tail and pull hard, flipping the tiger over to the ground.
As the saying goes, "Liquor emboldens heroes."
Wu Song then went up a few more times and landed a few more punches, finally killing the tiger. He wiped the sweat from his brow, feeling incredibly relieved.
After killing the tiger, Wu Song carried its carcass down the hill.
He returned to the restaurant, threw the tiger on the ground, and laughed loudly: "Boss, do you think this wine was worth it?" The restaurant owner and everyone else were amazed at what he saw.
They all toasted Wu Song, praising him as a true hero.
After Yun Dan finished telling the story, she and Uncle Leng exchanged a smile. The two raised their glasses and drank together, as if they themselves had become the heroes in the story.
