Chapter 2417 Dafen’s Story
There is a mountain spring under the cliff, but it has frozen. Several people discovered a house from the mountain spring. Thanks to the fact that the house is surrounded by steep cliffs on three sides, which provides it with shelter from wind and rain, and the houses are all made of stone bricks, except for one house that was damaged by falling rocks. Of the smashed room, the other three rooms were intact. The largest stone house among them is half buried underground. There are many stone shelves and wooden barrels inside. The wooden barrels are bound by iron hoops. They have not completely decayed because of the dry and cold air. It looks like a large wine cellar. The whole house should be A small brewery.
Sure enough, some brewing tools and equipment were found in other rooms, some of which were still in good condition. They briefly walked around the three rooms and saw two wooden barrels placed in the holes in the wall. Delma went up and knocked on it, her eyes lit up: "It's not empty. I don't know if I can drink it!"< br>
It was freezing cold at this time, and he and the two dwarves couldn't stand the cold. The axe-wielding dwarf, regardless of how many people there were, took down one of the barrels of wine and opened it. It smelled of wine, and the liquid poured out was very cold. turbid.
"Oops, it's spoiled and can't be drunk anymore." The other dwarf was extremely frustrated. It could be seen from his wine-stained nose that he was already extremely greedy.
Ke'er found a door in the room. When she opened it, a smell of fermented wine rushed up.
“There is also a wine cellar!”
“Go down, go down.”
Several wine lovers hurriedly entered the underground wine cellar. Bimoye and the others have not forgotten Be alert to your surroundings. He asked Ke'er, Avro, and Mio to stay on top, and followed him into the cellar. In addition to the aroma of wine, there was naturally a musty smell in the air.
There is indeed a lot of wine hidden here. When Bimoye came in with a mining lamp hanging on his staff, the two dwarves were already in front of a lying wine barrel, leaning their necks to drink the wine poured from the barrel. .
After taking a long sip, the two dwarves burped with great pleasure.
Delma asked anxiously: "How is it, how is it?" He meant to ask if he could drink it.
The two dwarves glared at him unhappily, thinking that you don’t dare to drink it yourself, so you’re experimenting with us. But now they had wine, and they didn't bother to let the others do it. One by one, they held the wine barrels and took out the cowhide bags containing water to change the water.
Looking at this, Delma must be able to drink it, and opened a barrel to taste it: "It's such a good wine. I'm not dreaming. I have never drunk such a good wine."
Bimoyer is a man who knows wine. When he smells the aroma of wine, he knows that the wine here is definitely not bad. Due to the environment and the years, the old wine here has an incomparably rich aroma. Guan smells the wine. The taste is almost drunk. He took out a small pot and took a pot with him, but he did not drink it immediately. At the same time, he advised them: "Delma, you should drink less, don't get drunk."
He continued to delve deeper into the wine cellar with a lamp. This underground wine cellar stored at least tens of thousands of barrels of wine, and there were several categories. Each category was stored separately. In the middle of a corridor, a dried corpse fell under the pillars in the cellar. Judging from the posture of holding a sword in his chest with both hands, he died of suicide. From his physique, it can be seen that he belongs to the thin dwarf tribe. , such as the Thrase tribe, or the Green Songks. The details can only be determined by Delma and the others. Bimoye squatted beside the corpse and took a look, making sure that he would not be resurrected, and then rummaged through his body with gloved hands. In addition to the ID card with his name and nationality written on it, there was a notebook wrapped in a leather case pressed under his body. The notes were very complete and the handwriting was very clear. Bimoye turned to the last page and read a few sentences, which probably meant that he could not leave this place where he had lived for more than a hundred years and left with everyone, choosing to be with the one he loved most in his life. The brewing business was buried together. As for the previous content, the notes are too thick to be read here. I can only take them out and read them slowly.
After putting away the notes, Bimoye made another discovery in the wine cellar. In the corner, he found a wooden box. There were many things in the wooden box. It was full of things, including many. The few magic crystal coins were exactly what they needed: "Great, find some that can be used and bring them with you."
He covered the box, lifted it up with floating magic, and returned to Delma By then, the three of them were actually drunk, and fell to the ground snoring.
After finally taking the box and the three of them out of the cellar, Keer and Bimoye repeatedly confirmed their identities and made sure that neither party was pretending to be a stick, and then sat down to check these things.
There is nothing to say about the contents of the box. The focus is on the notes. Bimoye read the notes and gradually got a general understanding of the things here.
Dafen, as the owner of the notebook, when he was a thirty-four-year-old boy (dwarf tribe), he and his sister came to the 'Sacred Mountain' with their parents to participate in a mysterious project called the 'Great Cause' . As one of the countless people involved in this project, they are not the first group to arrive here, nor are they the last group. But regardless of whether they came early or later, everyone is restricted from leaving the ‘Holy Mountain’. Only a small number of managers and people with authorization can go to the outside world to purchase and recruit new people. And from the day he arrived, Daphne never left.
Everyone who comes to Shenshan has a different division of labor. Although most people are engaged in the construction and mining industries, there are other jobs that need someone to do. Dafen’s mother and sister worked in the kitchen and planting work, he and his father started winemaking. This has been done for more than a hundred years.
During this period, he experienced his sister getting married and having children, his parents passing away, and his own marriage, divorce and remarriage. However, this long 'great cause' has never stopped, and he doesn't know when. To finish, he only knew that most of the quarried and polished stone strips were used in the construction on the top of the 'Sacred Mountain', where they built a city, and the city was built for the core of all projects - 'Great Cause' .
Dafen tried to chat with the workers to find out what the so-called 'great cause' was, but he only knew that it was highly confidential and the workers in the quarry had no way of knowing. Later, he gradually became acquainted with the management people at the top of the "Kamily Mountain". By chance, a construction engineer of the underground core was drunk. Drunkness will never happen in the core city of 'Weiye', just to keep it strictly confidential. But that time, the engineer was drunk and missed some words that he shouldn't have said. He mentioned the three words "World Tree" and also mentioned that "Great Enterprise" was about to fail.
Daphne didn't know why the 'Great Enterprise' failed, because the project didn't stop for a moment, quarrying, mining, and casting, everything was done step by step, but he could feel the uneasiness and low morale from the top. Until finally, the order to evacuate came down, and everyone was ordered not to disclose anything here to the outside world after leaving. Although they, low-level people, have no idea where this so-called ‘Holy Mountain’ is, nor can they remember the way into the vast mountains, let alone what happened on the ‘Holy Mountain’.
In the end, Dafen did not choose to leave with most people. Although he received a huge reward, the upper class said that this money was enough for them to live a stable and well-off life in the outside world. He decided to stay anyway. Because his parents and wife are buried here, his home is also here, and he doesn't know where else to go if he leaves here. For more than a hundred years, Daphne chose to rest here.
