Catching a whiff of the strong aroma of liquor in the air, Gu Ning’an smiled and said, “Alright, let me have a taste.”As he entered the cabin, Gu Ning’an saw that the floor was completely covered with wine jars.No wonder Old Wen wasn’t lying in the cabin—there wasn’t even a spot to set foot, let alone lie down.Wei Hai moved a few jars aside and placed them on the only old, low wooden table in the cabin.
