wine color

Chapter 76

"Look, the two of you still want to come back to find me." In the garden of Luo Mansion, Mrs. Luo even prepared refreshments, looking like she had been waiting for a long time.

"Mother..." Uncle Luo raised his forehead, "Since you plan to say it, tell us from the beginning." Why do you have to make such a fuss?

"Wouldn't that be boring?" Madam Luo looked at Nan Qingxiao innocently.

"Father is still in danger, do you still have the heart to do this?" Uncle Luo took Nan Qingxiao and sat down at the stone table, took a sip of the tea made by Mrs. Luo.

"Hmm..." Mrs. Luo curled her lips, "He won't be in danger for the time being. As for the pain of flesh and blood...he is a man."

"Father is not young anymore, but he is no longer the indomitable man he was back then, and he can't stand it." Is his mother his father's original spouse?They actually have a grudge, right?

"He will always be the same in my heart." Mrs. Luo said proudly with her chin raised.

"Mother, do you know how to be ashamed? Qingxiao is still there." Uncle Luo sighed.Compared with Aunt Yue, Mother's temperament is really special.

"Xiao Qingqing is not an outsider." Madam Luo curled her lips indifferently.

"Let's get down to business, mother, what are you hiding from me?" Uncle Luo's expression changed, and instantly changed to the cold and hard expression he had when facing Tianshu and the others.

Faced with Uncle Luo like this, even his own mother felt very stressed.

"Stop scaring me with your face, I'm your mother!"

"Don't take your eyes off." Uncle Luo rolled his eyes silently, "The matter you are hiding is related to Qing Xiao."

"Uh..." Her son was really sharp!like her!But it's a bit too sensitive... She, a mother, also has some secrets.

"It's related to the Huangzhong area."

"Well..." Her son is really smart!like her!Even if she's a little too smart... a mother like her would have something to hide.

"Mother...is also from Huangzhong?"

"Tsk! Little bastard, you guessed it all, and why are you asking me?!" Mrs. Luo was angry.Although it is very proud to have a smart son, it is also very inconvenient. You see, before she said anything, her son has dug out her secret, and it is impossible to play happily together.

"Make sure." Uncle Luo said as a matter of course.

Mrs. Luo was depressed.

"Aunt Luo, the people my mother recommended to me are all from Huangzhong?" Nan Qingxiao continued to ask Uncle Luo's question.

"The two of you together really make it impossible for others to live." Mrs. Luo sighed, "That's right, when your mother fled Huangzhong, those of us came to Suining Kingdom with her, Scattered to various places, hiding your name, because you are afraid of being found in Huangzhong. When you grew up a little bit, your mother introduced you to us, thinking that there will always be someone to take care of you in the future. Unexpectedly, your mother was still given by Master Chu’s family. I found it, and finally..."

"Why did you leave Huangzhong? Mother told me it was because Huangzhong held the latest brewing technology but refused to spread it to the outside world, but...it's not that simple, right?" Nan Qingxiao took a sip of tea.

Mother is also from Huangzhong, those technologies are equivalent to her own things to her, and if her own things are not passed on to the outside world, why is mother dissatisfied?Nan Qingxiao has always been puzzled by this, but suffers from the fact that no one asks.

"Is that what your mother said?" Mrs. Luo was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly, "After all, she still regards herself as a member of Master Chu's family, but it's no wonder, she and Master Chu's family can't be called enmity."

After saying this sentence, Mrs. Luo fell silent as if she was lost in memories. Uncle Luo and Nan Qingxiao looked at each other, tacitly agreeing that no one urged Mrs. Luo.

"Do you know that the God of Dionysus on this continent is located in the Huangzhong area?" Pulling her thoughts back from the memory, Mrs. Luo also straightened her face.

"Bacchus?" Nan Qingxiao frowned.Is there such a thing as God in this world?Nan Qingxiao never believed it.

"It's not the kind of god you imagined, it's just a huge water snake. The lake where the water snake is located is clear and clean. It's a good raw material for wine making. The plants growing around the lake and the insects that often appear there are also fine. It is used to make wine, because those raw materials are not available anywhere except around the lake, and Huangzhong does not communicate with outsiders, probably because of that lake.”

"That's why the wine in Huangzhong is so special?" Uncle Luo raised his eyebrows.

Although he is not good at wine, Huangzhong wine is famous all over the world. Because of its very small output, the price is extremely high. Basically, only the royal family and nobles can afford it. The method turned out to be just an advantage.

"Yes, the low production is also because the raw materials are not inexhaustible." Mrs. Luo laughed at herself, "It was a good thing at first. The people in Huangzhong have made a living, but the snake is a fierce beast after all, so People in Huangzhong began to die from the belly of a snake. I don’t know who discovered that wine can subdue this big snake. This is how the wine festival in Huangzhong came about. It is held in March every year, and the brewed wine is poured into the lake. 'Dionysus' means that the brewed wine has passed the 'Dionysus' audit, which can guarantee a whole year of peace and happiness, if not, human sacrifices will be held every month of the year to repent." Recalling Mrs. Luo still had lingering fears about the human sacrifice in Huangzhong, "Qingxiao's mother's favorite sister became the best, so she left Huangzhong in a fit of anger."

"It's ridiculous!" Uncle Luo shouted angrily.What kind of wine sacrifices are sacrificed to humans, and a snake is actually regarded as the god of wine?This is really a joke in the world!

"That is to say, the people in Huangzhong are constantly striving to innovate and make wine, just to satisfy this 'Dionysus'?" Nan Qingxiao frowned.Can a snake tell the difference between good and bad wine?Isn't this a joke?

"Yes." Madam Luo nodded.

"My mother... was sent to be sacrificed?" Nan Qingxiao looked up at Mrs. Luo, the coldness and murderous look in her eyes was not inferior to that of the furious Uncle Luo, but Nan Qingxiao's expression still looked the same calm.

Mrs. Luo opened her mouth, but she still couldn't bear to say this fact herself, but that expression said it all.

"Uncle Luo's disappearance this time is because someone came from Huangzhong?"

"...Yes." Madam Luo nodded.

"Are they here to look for me?" Nan Qingxiao was a little puzzled about this, since they were here to look for him, why didn't they just look for him?Why did you come to trouble the Luo family?

"Yes and no." Mrs. Luo looked at Uncle Luo.Why is this brat staring at her all the time?It's not that she wants things to become like this! "When the few of us left Huangzhong, we all brought things from Huangzhong. They have been looking for these things all these years."

"Then the others..." Upon hearing this, Nan Qingxiao asked nervously.Those people who fled from Huangzhong back then must have been introduced to him by his mother, right?Although the relationship between him and those people is not very close, but they are all part of his childhood memories, Nan Qingxiao can't help being nervous.

"It's okay, everything is here with me, those people should not find them."

"Mother, that's why you left some time ago? Does Dad know?" Uncle Luo frowned.If he had known that his mother was going to do such a dangerous thing, he would never have allowed her to go!

"Your father knows." Mentioning Master Luo, Mrs. Luo had a happy smile on her face, "Your father, he spoils me too much, and this time too, he would rather be here alone in fear than let me I was uneasy, when those people came to find me, there was one person who diverted their attention, I, I'm sorry for your father."

"One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. What is there to be sorry for?" Uncle Luo didn't want to blame his parents, but this matter was too dangerous, and he could obviously leave it to him.

"You don't have to worry about your elder brother and second brother. The two of them are just tools used by the other party to force me. If there is such a big mess, the mother and son will not be able to stay in Luo's house in the future. But, I'm afraid of you Dad was taken away by them, in that case..."

"I'll change it." Nan Qingxiao put down the teacup, "Give those things to me, and I'll change them back to Uncle Luo."

"No way!" Uncle Luo grabbed Nan Qingxiao's wrist, and his staring gaze became more fierce than before.

"Hiss! It hurts!" Nan Qingxiao couldn't help taking a breath, then smiled, "Don't worry, they won't do anything to me, Huangzhong wants to make good wine for the 'Dionysus', so that Please be safe, then how can they let me, who has inherited all the talents and knowledge of my mother, as long as I go back obediently, they will not embarrass me."

"But……"

"Is the Luo family interested in doing business with Huangzhong?" Nan Qingxiao considered Uncle Luo's words.

"Business? What business?" Uncle Luo frowned, and Mrs. Luo also looked at Nan Qingxiao curiously.

"If there is no 'Dionysus' in Huangzhong, I'm afraid those good wines won't be available. Although the wine gets better with age, wouldn't it be better if we could exchange it for some money?"

"You want to kill 'Dionysus'? No, it's impossible! They will never allow it!" Mrs. Luo was frightened.

"I don't care if they allow it or not. My mother was killed by their ignorance. I will ask them for this enmity bit by bit. First of all, I will let them believe in it!"

"Qing Xiao, you... only look like your mother."

"Seeing mother's suffering with my own eyes, how can my heart be the same as hers?"
