Chapter 43: The Snake Swarm Excavated
For lunch, I ate meat bean flowers (Sichuan specialties, bean curd, sauerkraut, mushrooms, meat slices boiled soup), bean curd was pushed by my dad early in the morning, originally for the old man Jiang to eat, he loves to eat my bean curd, who knew that he went out early in the morning, my dad simply made meat bean curd, let me eat, because I love meat. (You can find this site)
The meat bean flowers are very delicious, the farmer's authentic glutinous sea pepper (sea pepper smashed, add vegetable oil), with the smooth and tender bean flowers, spicy I exhale, but so fragrant that I can't stop chopsticks, eat two big bowls of rice, and drink three bowls of soup, I can be considered enjoyable.
Putting down the chopsticks, I went to see my mother again, my mother recovered well, my father specially stewed some chicken soup for her to replenish her body, my sister and I are sensible, and we will not be like when we were children, making noise about eating chicken.
I obediently lay next to my mother, watched my mother finish drinking chicken soup, and then went straight to my mother's arms and coquettish.
"Lao Chen, it's okay now, the matter of the second sister has been solved, the child is fine, and the third baby can stay with us until the age of 15, I feel comfortable." Although my mother's body is still a little weak, her complexion is still good, compared to the haggard a few days ago, it is simply incomparable.
"Yes, I think my three children should have a great future, I always feel that Master Jiang's identity is definitely not ordinary." My dad pulled my mom to his side and let me roll around on top of her, talking to my mom.
"Isn't it ordinary?" My mom apparently didn't think much of it.
My dad looked at me and didn't answer, and at that moment, the sound of crispy meat rang out at the door of my yard.
Crispy meat, this kid is righteous, since the second sister's incident happened in my family, many people in the village have avoided coming to my house intentionally or unintentionally, although they also quietly came up with ideas at the beginning, but they can't stand their fear.
Even this kid of crispy meat, regardless of his mother's worries, ran towards my house two times in three days and came to play with me.
I put on my shoes, 'pedaling' and ran out, a few days ago because of the second sister's affairs I didn't have the heart to play, crispy meat came to me, I just dealt with two sentences and passed, today I have to have a good time with him.
Seeing me running out in high spirits, the crispy meat was startled, a few days ago, when was I not disgraced?
"How is your second sister?" This kid deserves to be my iron buddy, and he knows me very well.
I patted the fat on his belly and said, "Okay, okay, it's all right, I said where are we going to play this time?" Otherwise, let's go and steal Liu Chunyan's chicken and eat it, right? ”
The matter of the second sister was solved, of course, I remembered the 'deep hatred' between me and Liu Chunyan, and I had a bad idea right away.
"I'm not going today, let's go to the countryside once, let me tell you, there's a good thing, by the way, why didn't you come to school yesterday?" Crispy Meat obviously didn't want to steal chickens today, so I mentioned the countryside and asked me why I didn't go to school yesterday by the way.
I almost blurted out that I went to run errands with my master, but I still didn't say it, the reason was very simple, I thought that my original image in the heart of the crispy meat was a heroic Red Army soldier, but now I became a Taoist priest, which ruined my image too much, so I played haha to deal with it, but I was very interested in the good things he said about the countryside, so I asked; "What's a good thing in the countryside, you say it quickly, otherwise I'll have to go to the tiger chair and serve the chili water."
"Hey, you don't know, the countryside is cutting bamboo, my mother and I went to the countryside this morning to catch the market." Crispy Meat said busily.
"Go, go, I thought what was the matter, cutting bamboo fresh? There is a small bamboo forest in front, I will go to the house and get a knife for you, you go and chop? Really, just say it directly, do you want to go to Liu Chunyan's house with me and steal her chicken. "I am very disdainful of the good thing of crispy meat, and it has become a good thing to cut bamboo, so this good thing happens every day.
"Hey, listen to me, that's not cutting one or two bamboos, it's cutting a whole bamboo forest, I don't know what's going on, it's said that it's cutting bamboo and returning it to the work, it's not strange, it's strange that there are a lot of snakes in the bamboo forest." Crispy Meat chattered.
"Snakes? It's strange that there are no snakes in the bamboo forest! "I shouted, who in the countryside has never seen a snake? I also know that snakes usually exist in shady places like bamboo forests, but I have an indescribable feeling in my heart, I remember the bamboo forest I stayed in that night.
"What are you anxious about, the snake is not fresh, many people are ready to catch it and eat it, but they were stopped by the officials in the township, I heard that the People's Liberation Army is coming, I also heard that ah" Crispy Meat suddenly lowered his voice.
I heard that the People's Liberation Army was already in a state of flux, but when I heard that there was something else going on, I was in a hurry, and hurriedly asked, "What?" ”
"I heard that there is a big snake, such a big snake, this time to cut the bamboo but asked to dig up the bamboo roots, I don't know why, there is a big snake in the ground, the head of the snake is the size of a basket." The crispy meat is gesturing.
My face was not good-looking, but I said, "You just blow, even if you brag, you see?" ”
"I didn't see it, hehe" Crispy Meat grabbed the back of his head and smiled, the fat on his face was pushed up, making his eyes squint, looking very honest and honest, but he continued: "But those people who dug bamboo in the morning, now it is spread all over the countryside, anyway, the snake head came out first, and was seen by several officers of the People's Liberation Army, and immediately drove people away, saying that they would wait and let people in." ”
I have a ** point of belief in my heart, this kid seems to be honest, but he is actually running the train with his mouth, but he doesn't fool me, I finally asked the question I have always wanted to ask: "Crispy meat, which bamboo forest are you talking about in the countryside?" ”
"Oh, I heard that the bamboo forest is next to a cemetery, and no one goes on weekdays, but fortunately, no one goes, otherwise I won't swallow the big snake, I'll tell you" The crispy meat quickly turned its mouth up and down, and kept talking, as soon as I heard that it was there, my heart 'fluttered' and jumped.
Orochi!! A few days ago, I not only hit a ghost, but also slept on the big snake, ***, this is my fate? Or is it fate?
"Three babies, three babies" Crispy Meat didn't respond to him when he saw me in a daze, and kept calling me next to him.
"What's wrong?" I suddenly came to my senses and asked as if I was fine.
"Did you hear me just now, and I heard that a stone gate was dug up, which is near the cemetery." Crispy said very seriously.
As soon as I heard it, it turned out that I missed such important information when I was in a daze, so I said, "You kid want me to go to the countryside with you to watch the fun, right?" Let's go. ”
"Okay, I've got all the dry food!" The crispy meat trembled with excitement and quickly said.
"What dry food?" As soon as I heard that there was something to eat, I was also excited.
"Look." Crispy took out a cloth bag from his arms, and when he opened it, there were boiled potatoes that were about to be squeezed 'mush' by his fat meat.
"Forget it, you can eat." I really didn't have much interest in the few unformed boiled potatoes, so I went in and said hello to my parents and went out.
And crispy meat all the way crazy running, but I don't think the road to the countryside is long, after two o'clock in the afternoon, we rushed to the countryside, but the strange thing is that the lively countryside on weekdays seems very quiet.
"Look, what I'm saying is true, everyone in this countryside has gone to dig bamboo in the bamboo forest." The crispy meat is a little proud.
"Hmm." As soon as I mentioned this, I had something in my heart and answered perfunctorily.
"But where should I go to this bamboo forest? Sanwa'er, do you know? "Crispy meat is generally like this, ask me when you don't have an idea.
"Where are you going? Follow me, I'm very familiar. I replied casually, and only then did I know that this was not a mistake?
"Sanwa'er, how do you know?" Sure enough, Crispy immediately asked.
Crispy Meat is my best friend, in fact, I don't want to lie to him, after hesitating for a long time, I asked Crispy Meat: "Crispy Meat, you are my good brother, right?" ”
"Nonsense, our relationship is similar to Dong Cunrui and Huang Jiguang!" The crispy meat slapped his chest with a 'thump'.
"What's the relationship between them?" It's really fresh, it's the first time I heard that Dong Cunrui and Huang Jiguang have a relationship.
"They are all battle heroes! Between heroes, of course, of course, it's that anyway, it's all the way. "Crispy meat is really a expert!
Come on, what about fighting heroes, Lao Tzu is destined to be a Taoist priest, too lazy to talk to crispy meat, I said solemnly: "That crispy meat, do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?" ”
Crispy Meat was taken aback by my solemnity, and after a while he said, "I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it a little, isn't it your second sister's business?" That's what I'll do."
Crispy Meat was afraid that I would be angry, so I said it carefully, and the social atmosphere at that time was destined to make it impossible for rural children who had seen a lot of weird things since childhood to talk about superstition.
"Alas, my second sister was just fascinated by ghosts, anyway, for this matter, I went to the bamboo forest you said. Do you believe me or not? I asked, looking at the crispy meat.
"You've seen it?" Crispy Meat looked terrified.
"Well, yes." I'm very calm, I've seen a lot, and I don't feel anything, and besides, I have a cheap master to protect me.
"What's that?" The face of the crispy meat was already pale.
"That's it, it's not a green-faced fang." I don't want to scare the crispy meat, to put it mildly.
Crispy Meat took a long breath, patted his chest, and looked frightened, and then asked: "Sanwa'er, what's the matter, can you tell me?" ”
I intuitively can't talk about this in detail, so I can only say: "Anyway, it's just to find someone to help exorcise ghosts, what is there to talk about?" My second sister is fine now, but you have to keep it a secret! ”
"I'm going to keep it a secret and won't say anything." Crispy meat absolutely accepts this statement, as a rural child, who has never heard of finding someone to exorcise ghosts, even if he can't see it with his own eyes in that era.
I trust Crispy Meat very much, he is willing to keep it a secret, unless someone threatens him with food, but his parents will never ask about it, let alone threaten him with food.
"Then let's go, go to the bamboo forest!" I waved my hand and said loudly, I said it to the crispy meat, and my heart was much more relaxed, in fact, what I couldn't expect was that this statement was destined to come into my life.
