Chapter Eighty-Eight: Noon
After the incident of the sorcerer, it was already the beginning of October, when the National Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival were next to each other, and the school had a big long holiday, and driven by the long holidays and festivals, the wanderers who worked far away also bought tickets and prepared to have a perfect Mid-Autumn Festival with their families.
Jiang Yu's family is no exception, at this time of year, they will always go back to the old house for the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival is not so formal with social progress, most families buy some moon cakes at most to eat a reunion dinner, in fact, the festival is just a form, what really makes their elders care about is the health and safety of their children.
The family drove two cars, one in front of the other and one in the direction of the old house, in front of Jiang Yu's father Jiang Huai, but it was Su Yan's car, according to his words, it was not easy to have a good time, of course it was impossible to miss it, not to mention his daughter's car.
It was Xu Qingqing who drove in the back, and Jiang Yu and two women sat in the back, and the two women sandwiched Jiang Yu in the middle one by one, in fact, Jiang Yu refused, and the middle was never a kind of enjoyment, but a kind of torture.
"Xiao Yu, your teacher called me again and said that you handed in a blank paper for the exam, can you explain?"
In response to Xu Qingqing's question, Jiang Yu touched his nose and said, "How can I say this! I was so tired that night that I overslept in the examination room for the next day's exam." ”
"Pay attention to moderation, or you will be doomed when you are old. ”
"That's it, the two of them often make trouble until the second half of the night, if it weren't for the good sound insulation, upstairs and downstairs would have to knock on the door and complain. ”
Su Yan was afraid that he would not mess up and mended the knife on the side, and Xi Ling on the side was blushing and did not say a word, but in his heart he secretly scolded Su Yan, a fox charmer, was really bad.
"Sister Yan, don't add oil and vinegar, you haven't done anything at all!"
Xu Qingqing smiled and said, "You kid can be careful, don't get a grandson out, come here and cry your nose." ”
Xi Ling's ears were hot when he listened, and Jiang Yu's face was also flushed, thinking that what you always think about is too late, right?
"Mom, don't tell me that you want to hold your grandson at such a young age?" Jiang Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Xu Qingqing didn't think about it: "This kind of thing is a matter for the two of you, anyway, your mother can help you bring it early, and you can take it two years later if you are born later." ”
"What about not giving birth?"
Xu Qingqing shook his head and said, "What are you talking about, this kid? Your father is such a son as you, do you want him to be the last child?"
"I'm thinking about how good the world of the two of them is, how tired it is to have children!"
Xu Qingqing pondered for a moment and then said, "You can't watch too much TV, right? ”
Jiang Yu naturally knew about the Dink family, but he really didn't want children, maybe he was young! But the fact was that he had an inexplicable fear of children.
"Alright, it's too early to say this, you'll find out later. ”
Jiang Yu didn't argue, but he had a headache, he got married in the future, he couldn't see if he didn't want this posture, what should he do then!
When Jiang Huai arrived at the old house, he stopped the car first, and the neighbors who were sitting at the door rubbing mahjong and watching couldn't help but look sideways at this luxury car that looked very atmospheric, and Jiang Huai was very reluctant to get out of the driver's seat.
Jiang Ping, who was sitting next to his wife, saw Jiang Huai get out of the car, and thought that he had seen it wrong, so he put on the reading glasses hanging around his neck, which was really his son, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Are you driving your boss's car back?"
"Dad, what are you talking about? This car is my daughter's car. ”
"Spirit girl?" Jiang Ping was a little puzzled.
"No, it's Jiang Yuyi's sister to Jin Lan, it's, well, the kind that worships the son. ”
The surrounding neighbors were puzzled, and Jiang Ping was even more confused: "Lao Tzu knows what it means, but what is going on?"
Jiang Huai didn't explain, but walked up to his mother, pushed the cards and said, "Okay, let's go! In the afternoon, you are rubbing, it's almost noon, it's time for lunch." ”
"You're really, okay, you've lost more than a hundred, and you're cheap. ”
The neighbors laughed and laughed, and they dispersed in a hurry, and Xu Qingqing only arrived now because she bought some things in the supermarket, after all, she needed toiletries for the night.
The family is neat and tidy, of course, it is inevitable to introduce the concubine, but when it comes to the matter of the jade bracelet, although the two old people are surprised, they have no objections, this is one more girl and more lively, which is also a full house of children and grandchildren.
Jianghuai was afraid that the luxury car would be too eye-catching, so he drove the car into the yard. Because I only bought meat ingredients, I had to go to the vegetable shop in the camp to buy vegetables, but it was only a mile or two away.
This task was taken over by the leading Miyan, on the grounds that he was curious about what the countryside was really like.
Compared with the village when Jiang Yu was a child, the village is very different, with the economic growth, there are few people who are busy in the field under the sun, and now most of them are contracted to others in batches to grow medicinal herbs or vegetables, so the village fields here have basically become vegetable fields.
Of course, I haven't seen the city growing up, so I am very curious to look at a large patch of broccoli, and I really want to get out of the car to take a look, but the broccoli in October is only the growth period, and it usually does not mature until the Spring Festival, so there is nothing to see.
The vegetable shop in the village was not as tidy as the supermarket, so the two girls couldn't help but wrinkle their noses, but they still couldn't suppress their curiosity to find out, but after feeling bored, they bought some casually and left the vegetable shop.
The way back is the small road, this is the request of Su Yan, Jiang Yu pointed out this road for her with his memory, the road will pass by the village "Taizi" (the backup shelter established by the big water back then) three stories high, covering an area of one or two hundred square meters.
The soil is dug on the spot next to it, so there is a big pit next to the platform, the big pit covers only half of the platform but it is very deep, but it has been abandoned all these years, and some people have raised fish before, but they always turn their stomachs inexplicably, so it is gone.
And as the car turned the corner, he saw a lot of people standing on the side of the road in Dakeng, and there were people in Dakeng sliding wooden boats as if they were salvaging things, and Jiang Yu smelled a fishy smell from the hot wind blowing, and there were also two women.
"What's bad here?" said Su Yan frowned, and the car slowed down a lot.
"Sister, you two go back first, I'll go see what's going on, and then I'll walk back by myself. ”
Xi Ling grabbed Jiang Yu's arm and said, "Fox Meizi, you go back first, and I'll go with Jiang Yu to have a look." ”
Of course, Su Yan was unwilling, so she simply parked the car on the side of the road, and then said, "How could my sister miss this kind of curious thing?"
In the end, the three of them got out of the car together, and the old people standing on the side of the road were all old people, who were not diverted by the two beauties coming at this time, but looked at the big pit with pity on their faces.
"This uncle, what's going on here?"
The uncle's face was full of white stubble, many teeth had fallen out, and his lips looked a little sunken, but his spirit gave people a tough feeling, and at this time, he turned his head and glanced at Jiang Yu and sighed: "The things in this pit have pulled down the little baby playing by the pit, and I haven't found the baby's figure yet." ”
"It's this morning, how can there be something when the sun is so big?"
"Baby, I'm afraid you haven't heard of the saying that the monkey is playing with monkeys in the morning, right?"
Jiang Yu nodded, he really hadn't heard of it.
"Is this a sneaky thing?"
The old man scratched his sparse white hair and said: "It's not sneaky, this is an evil thing, an evil thing that is not afraid of the sun, it is rare to see it, I have also heard it said by my predecessors, this is the first time I have encountered this thing." ”
"Uncle, is this a water monkey?"
The old man shook his head and said, "It's not a water monkey, I saw it once in the Han River when I was young, and I have a deep memory, so it can't be." ”
"And what the hell is this?"
"The whole body is red, less than one meter, the face has no nose, the mouth is as big as a plate, the head is scaly, and the ears are like fish ears, and it is called the Chishui baby by the old people. ”
Jiang Yu could roughly imagine what it looked like, so he nodded and said, "Since it's not afraid of the sun, how do you clean it up?"
"This thing is not very powerful, but it is swift and ruthless, I used to hear the old man say that as long as you catch it and throw it into the lime water, it will naturally turn into a pile of red water, or in a pile of salt, from which its name comes from, but no one knows whether it is so. ”
Jiang Yu nodded, whether it is true or not, since there is a legend, there must be a reason, so Jiang Yu is thinking about how to catch this thing, but his water nature is not good, not to mention that the big pit dug before is very deep, and if he doesn't make it good, he will be cold, so he has to think of a way to lure it out.
"Uncle knows what this thing likes, and can seduce it and solve it. ”
The silver-haired uncle scratched his head and said: "If there was a way, it would have been used a long time ago, and it would not have waited until now, this evil thing is as timid as a rat and will hide in the deep mud at the bottom of the water when it is frightened, so it is difficult to do it!"
"Isn't there nothing there is to be done about the captured doll?"
The old man sighed again, and said with a look of pity: "What can be done then?" Alas, poor baby!"
After speaking, the uncle seemed to be reluctant to look any further, and walked out of the crowd with a sway, carrying a rough and yellow-skinned old hand on his back, and the whole person could not tell the vicissitudes of life.
Jiang Yu silently glanced at his parents who had not given up the search in the big pit, and sighed and said, "Sister, let's go back!"
"But... Did you just give up?" said Su Yan a little unbearably.
Xi Ling pondered for a moment, and then said: "We will come back in the middle of the night at the third watch, and when the time comes, we will get some meat fishy, seduce it ashore, and then destroy it." ”
In fact, Jiang Yu had this plan, so he nodded and said, "I think so too, so let's go back first! Now there are so many noisy people, not to mention the temptation, even if you jump to the bottom of the water, you may not be able to find it." ”
The three of them drove back, and they didn't speak all the way, Jiang Yu was actually a little helpless, although he was capable, but he didn't reach the point of reaching the sky, if there was a water system spiritual powerhouse, it might be much more convenient, but there was no around.
