Chapter 234: Pickles

At this time, the surrounding darkness and gloom were fierce, and the sound of ghosts crying made the souls of these Boxer soldiers who had never believed in ghosts and evil spirits not possess their bodies, and they didn't know what to do. But the order had been given, and no one dared to disobey it, and they all looked at each other in silence and horror. The elder boldly went over and suggested that it was better to wait for this group of Yin soldiers to pass, and then we would give way.

He also said that most of these Yin soldiers were lonely ghosts who died in battle and had no way to survive, and they were escorted to somewhere to make trouble tonight. If we get in their way, nothing good will come of it. Let everyone lie on the ground and don't look up, and the three yang fires that they can't see will pass.

The leader didn't listen to the evil at all, thinking that he was bewitching people's minds, and in order to rectify the discipline, he dealt with the elder on the spot. Beheaded. At that time, the people were shocked, and there was no choice but to retreat to the mass grave.

As soon as they stepped into the mass grave, a gust of wind came to them, and a bleak wind surrounded them, and suddenly the crowd let out a miserable cry, and the people in the village could hear it so far away at home.

The next day, the villagers were curious, and they didn't know what had happened to the mass grave last night. So they all went to see the situation, and people couldn't help but be shocked when they went to see it. There was a corpse lying in the chaotic place, and the corpses were separated, and the heads were thrown in a pile beside them, and the headless corpses were scattered all over the ground.

The head was clearly broken alive from a human body with sharp claws, which was really miserable. The corpses were not in one place, and people couldn't figure out whether the corpse was the head, but when it was discovered, everyone dug a pit in a small locust tree and buried these heads hastily. The bodies were also buried, and the people dispersed after praying.

After many years, when Xiang Yiping was still in the grave, these heads were dug out. At the same time, it also brought a lot of trouble to the village, which was something that the people in the village never imagined.

The water was withdrawn, and although the village was not swept away by the flood, the village was still there, but a ditch was washed out of the back of the village, which was not very deep, but it was enough to drown. The water in the village was all gone, but there was still so much water in the ditch, but it was gone, and it became a stagnant canal.

People returned to the village from the mass graves and packed up their homes. Except for the houses of the two girls and a few people who did not fall, most of them fell. People ate food that was dug out of the rubble, some could be eaten, and some were spoiled as soon as they were soaked in water, and most of the government relief work was still underway, and most of them still needed to save themselves.

The flour was gone, and only some grain was shaved out, such as wheat kernels and corn kernels. In the village, the mill house has long been washed down, and it is impossible to use the mill to make flour, but the people are hungry! There is no way for people to eat only boiled wheat and corn kernels.

After eating a few meals, people can't eat it, and people find that more important than the food they eat is oil and salt. If you don't eat oil and salt for a few days, you will feel uncomfortable, and the food you eat will be unpalatable, and it will be even more miserable if you don't have any taste.

Although the courtyard house of the second lady's family also entered the water, it was soaked in water for a few days but did not fall. The reason is that the house of the ancestors of Lao Kui occupied by the ancestors of the two girls, which was built too strong at that time, and the foundation of the house was all made of stones, with big white lime plaster. Even the walls are blue bricks with water, and the lime paste is made with rice soup. The brick joints are all fine wire, strong and beautiful, slow to say that after soaking for a few days, the house will not collapse after a few days.

Do you think, at that time, the Japanese annoyed Qingpi, and Qingpi tied * in the east wing and died with the Japanese, the east wing collapsed, and the north house and the west wing were only cracked, and it was still possible to live in it without a big problem, how strong do you say this house is.

Naturally, all the three and four people in the house were flooded, but the furniture was not washed away, and only a few small things were washed away in the house. The second lady still solves the problem of eating first. All the oil and salt in the village were washed away by the floods, or buried by collapsed houses. When the two girls were rummaging around the house, they actually turned out a jar of pickles in the corner!

The jar of pickles was also quite large, and although the jar had a lid, there was also a lot of water in it. But after all, it was a jar of salted pickles, and the father of the second lady told the second lady that now every household in the village has no oil and salt, and our family has such a little pickle, don't tell others when you go out, our family can eat more days. told others that it was inappropriate for them to come to the villagers and not give it. Keep your mouth tight.

Originally, my father woke up, and the second lady just paid attention, but the second girl's broken mouth, he couldn't control it at all. Or did he leave his mouth and tell the story that there was a jar of pickles at home. In fact, this thing is really difficult for the two women, that day the father of the two girls asked him to go out to pick up some dry firewood, go home to cook, is running into a widow in the village, originally this woman has a man, because of this flood to drown the man.

The widow was not very old, but she had a little girl of four years old. The village has just started to save itself, and every family in the village is destitute by the flood, and a widow pulling a small child is even more difficult. The widow plucked a pinch of wild vegetables from the ground, which had broad leaves and red stems, and this kind of vegetable tasted very sour, and the villagers called it "belly sour".

The widow took the child's hand and talked as she walked: "Flowers, don't you always say that eating is unpalatable, my mother will make you vegetable dumplings to eat this time, they are sour and delicious." The child raised his head and looked at his mother happily and said, "Yes, I eat sauerkraut dumplings, I want to eat sauerkraut dumplings!"

The second lady heard her two talking next to her, and couldn't help but want to laugh in her heart, what is so delicious about sauerkraut dumplings? Seeing their orphan daughters and widows, they have the heart to joke, anyway, women don't have a man to support them, even if a woman turns her face, it's nothing wrong.

So she approached her mother and daughter and said, "Flowers, the vegetable dumplings are not so delicious, my mother coaxed you." ”

"You two girls can talk, don't you? No matter how bad the sauerkraut dumplings are, it's better than less oil and no salt food, okay?

"Go, there are not necessarily no good things in the hard days, let the flowers call me godfather, I will let her not eat sauerkraut dumplings, at least it is not a meal with less oil and no salt!"

"Brag, go, your house is in the sky, isn't it? Your house is not flooded, is it? Flowers, call this rabbit lamb daddy! I see where he goes to turn salt! You can't change it and tear your mouth all the time!" the widow sneered and shouted at the two girls.

These two girls were a little blindsided at the time, and they wanted to make a joke with a little cheapness. I didn't think that this widow would not let him have a way back, and at this time, a few old ladies came over to watch the excitement. It's not a big deal to watch the excitement, they all make a mess, and they all say that let Hua'er call him a father, anyway, there is nothing missing. If this kid can't get salty food for his child, everyone won't be able to spare him! Let him be all over the street and learn from the king!

The two girls were framed, the flowers were small and ignorant, and the adults shouted whatever they wanted. In front of everyone, he called his godfather crisply. The two girls were dumbfounded when they watched the play. I had no choice but to scoop a bowl of pickles from a tea bowl from home and hand it to the widow. This time the village exploded, and the two girls had pickles to eat!

The father of the second lady complained about him and wanted to slap his mouth. If you want to say that you didn't remind you kid, I repeatedly told you not to say it outside, you see, it's all the old and young masters in the village who come to order pickles, you don't want to give it? Can you say it? This thing is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, let Lao Tzu say what is good!

The news that there were pickles in the big jar of the second lady's house spread all over the village like wings, and they came to the second mother's house to ask for some pickles to eat. Although the father of the second lady is also selfish, he is also a kind and honest farmer in general. Faced with the old and young masters in the village coming to order pickles to go back to dinner, they said that the conditions are very difficult now, but they were stunned and said no, that kind of thing still can't be done.

So whoever comes to open his mouth to ask for it, the father of the second lady still gives it more or less, it's not a valuable thing, it's just that people have suffered disasters, so this thing has become a rarity. Eat alone and make the villagers laugh, and then you don't give Zhang San or not Li Si at the beginning?

The father of the second lady doesn't want to tie up with anyone because of this, so it will never be solved. The second half fairy also heard that the second lady has a little pickles, and these days the family cooks wild vegetables to eat every day, where is there a grain of salt? The second half immortal also wanted to go to the second lady's house to order pickles, but he recalled the quarrel with the second lady in the mass grave two days ago, so he didn't want to go again.

The two half-immortals know the virtue of the two girls, and they are careful and love to hate people. But I felt really tormented and panicked, so I thought about it, didn't I just raise a few words! The people who live in this village are still embarrassed to remember that? It's over, it's over, and you can't wipe your stomach with watermelon skin, it's endless.

The second half-fairy rummaged around the house for a long time and found a plastic bag, expecting to order pickles from the second lady's house to eat. Entered the yard of the second lady's house, the second lady was tinkering with the shovel handle in the yard, holding a stick in one hand and a broken sickle in the other, aiming and rushing to use the sickle to cut the skin of the stick.

Seeing that the two half-immortals entered the courtyard, the two ladies shouted loudly: "Dad, why didn't you close the gate? Why are some dogs and cats running to our house?"

The second half fairy heard that the two girls didn't speak, and scolded people around the corner. Since you come to someone's house to ask for something, you should suffer a little bit. What's more, the second lady is such a careful person, and she can't be as knowledgeable as him. The father of the second lady came out and reprimanded the second girl: "You bear child, how can you talk? ”

When the father of the second lady knew that the two and a half immortals also came for pickles, he turned around and wanted to get some for the two and a half immortals. When the two girls saw it, they suddenly rushed over.
