391: Chapter 385 Conggui Mountain 391: Chapter 385 Conggui Mountain Several minutes later, Chen Zhonghua came out again.
He carried a white porcelain wine bottle in his hand, somewhat resembling a gourd but with a much thicker node in the middle.
“Dalong, you haven’t tried the Peach Blossom Immortal Brew yet, have you?”
“That kid Sun Jinzhong said one bottle of this stuff costs at least a hundred or two hundred.”
“With that price, it’s hard to find on the market!” Chen Zhonghua said beamingly.
As he spoke, he set down the small wine cup he had brought out with the wine before Jiang Dalong and opened the bottle to pour him a small glass.
As for Chen Hai, he was completely ignored.
In his view, his son at this age shouldn’t be touching alcohol at all.
Chen Hai didn’t mind, though.
After all, he was never very interested in drinking.
“Second uncle-in-law, it’s no fun drinking alone.”
“Why don’t you sit down and join me for a couple of drinks!” Seeing this scene, Jiang Dalong glanced left and right.
Since his cousin Chen Hai couldn’t join him for a drink, he boldly turned his attention to Chen Zhonghua.
“At this time, I can only join you for a small glass.”
“Otherwise, your aunt will explode!” Hesitant for a moment, Chen Zhonghua glanced toward the door and chuckled twice as he explained.
“Fine, one glass it is!” Jiang Dalong nodded in agreement.
Seeing him nodding, Chen Zhonghua, who had just seated himself, stood up again and went to the kitchen to fetch another wine cup.
Back in the days when he was toiling with a handcart, a little drink after a hard day’s work made him feel relaxed and warm.
By then, he was already addicted to alcohol.
After moving to live in Liuyuan County, his days were certainly a lot more leisurely!
But when it came to drinking, Jiang Meixian was much stricter with him.
Except when guests were at home and he could freely drink a few glasses, if she caught him drinking at other times, Jiang Meixian would definitely scold him.
Jiang Dalong had asked him to join him for a drink, and although Chen Zhonghua said he’d have only a small cup, his heart would certainly have loved more.
However, as the elder, he still needed to maintain some dignity.
In less than a minute, Chen Zhonghua returned to the dining table with a small wine cup.
He picked up the bottle and filled his cup.
“Dalong, I’ve heard people say that the section of road near Conggui Mountain is somewhat sinister, not very clean!”
“That place often sees accidents.
Just three or four months ago, a guy from Yuanjia Ping in Wuyang Town was riding his tricycle there in the middle of the night, and both he and his vehicle ended up in a pond on the side of the road.”
“When he was found in the morning, the vehicle was wrecked and the man was already dead!”
“The man was in his twenties, in the prime of his life, just married for a couple of years, and he had twin babies at home barely half a year old.
It’s tragic how they lost their father just like that!”
“Your fall was a bit strange, but fortunately, you weren’t badly hurt!”
“When passing through there late at night, you better be extra careful!”
…
After just a couple sips of the drink, Chen Zhonghua became more talkative.
While stating some hearsay, he kindly reminded Jiang Dalong.
“Brother-in-law, if you want me to stay overnight, just say it.”
“Those who know me are aware that I’m so bold that I could steal a cow; sleeping in a graveyard in the middle of the night is a piece of cake to me!”
“Trying to scare me with those bizarre and supernatural things is pointless; they simply can’t scare me!”
Unconcerned, he shrugged his shoulders and laughed.
Meanwhile, Chen Hai, hearing his father’s words, couldn’t help but pay attention.
He naturally knew of Conggui Mountain but had never passed through that place at night.
He hadn’t heard whether the place was sinister or not.
After all, when he was in Wuyang Town, he was just a student, confined to the school, so certainly no one would voluntarily talk to him about such matters.
His father and Jiang Dalong were still talking about Conggui Mountain.
Without any outward reaction, Chen Hai used the Divine Soul Eye and looked over at Jiang Dalong.
There is an old saying that people have three fires.
Previously, Chen Hai couldn’t see flames on a person, but now, having stepped into Object Control, he could clearly see three flames rising and vigorously burning atop Jiang Dalong’s head and shoulders.
A wisp of black aura, faint and hardly noticeable, lingered around him, but was blocked by the light of the three flames, preventing it from truly approaching Jiang Dalong’s body.
It was commonly rumored that people with low flames are prone to attracting evil spirits and seeing things that ordinary people cannot.
The flames on Jiang Dalong at that moment were burning strongly.
Perhaps, that was why he only had a fall at Conggui Mountain and nothing serious happened!
If his flames had been low, aside from feeling the bumps of the motorcycle, some bizarre entities might have appeared within his sight.
“Brother Dalong, there are some things that are better believed to be real than not.”
“For certain entities, maintaining a bit of awe is somewhat better!”
“When I left Shachang City Airport, I indeed called your house, but you didn’t need to rush to the county town overnight.”
Withdrawing the Divine Soul Eye and looking at Jiang Dalong in front of him, Chen Hai sighed with emotion.
While in Shen City, he had never forgotten the promise he made to Jiang Dalong.
Ancient people used to say that when one attains enlightenment, even their pets ascend to heaven.
Chen Hai had prospered, but for his closest kin and friends who were underachieving, that was another matter.
However, if they truly had ambition and were willing to strive, he didn’t mind helping them as much as he could.
His own relatives were actually quite decent; up to now, Chen Hai hadn’t heard of any messy incidents happening to their family.
With that in mind, Chen Hai was happy to see them progressing in a positive direction.
After advising Jiang Dalong to get involved in legitimate activities and venture into real estate.
Chen Hai also wanted to see, after Jiang Dalong returned to his hometown, how he was managing his entrepreneurial endeavors and whether he had any plans.
That was the reason why, after getting off the plane, he made a call to Jiang Dalong’s family.
Unfortunately, even though he got through, Jiang Dalong wasn’t at home at the time; the call was answered by Jiang Dalong’s father, who was also Chen Hai’s uncle.
After informing his uncle about his return that day, they didn’t chat much before hanging up.
He truly hadn’t expected Jiang Dalong to be so anxious.
Knowing that he had returned to Liuyuan County, Jiang Dalong had actually ridden his motorcycle dozens of miles, rushing to the county town overnight.
