Chapter 33: Tai Sui (3)
Yi Ling glanced at his brother amusedly, and took out a piece of candy from his pocket, "Now, eat first, I have to go back and see what we got back in the morning, you didn't tell anyone today, did you?"
Guoqiang promised while running, "Am I that kind of person, if you don't say it, I definitely won't say it, sister, it's a good thing, can you fry meat and eat it?"
Yi Ling didn't know if this thing could be eaten as meat, anyway, since it could be soaked in water, it was probably not a big problem to eat it.
"Hehe, I guess the second uncle can't let us eat, let's go hunting in the mountains when we go back, pheasant meat is not as appetizing as that meat!"
Guoqiang sighed slightly, "Sister, when will I be able to eat meat, Brother Zihang won't come, and we won't fight!"
"Yes, I'll hunt sooner or later, don't worry, my sister is here, I promise to let you eat meat." ”
Yi Ling rushed back with Guoqiang, and when he saw Qiao Yuanshan sitting in the courtyard, Yi Ling happily pounced.
"Grandpa, grandpa, why did you come back so early?"
Qiao Yuanshan hugged his little granddaughter with a smile on his face, "Grandpa misses you, come, let's see what good things grandpa has brought——"
The old man took out the box in the bag, and Yi Ling took a look at the contents and happily hugged the old man's face and kissed it twice.
Excitedly said, "Grandpa, you're so good, you're the best grandpa-"
The two ancestors and grandchildren were intimate enough, and Qiao Yuanshan remembered the matter of that Tai Sui, and then his face became serious.
"Girl, tell grandpa where you found the things you picked up in the morning?"
Yi Ling told the old man about the morning, "Grandpa, is this Tai Sui?"
Qiao Yuanshan nodded, "It should be, but just a few of us can know about it——"
Yi Ling still has other thoughts hidden in her heart, she just wants to remind everyone through this Tai Sui, there will be a disaster in this place in a few years.
But what should she say, she was entangled in her heart, this little brow was about to squeeze together, Qiao Yuanshan didn't know the child he raised himself, the little girl must be thinking about something.
"Girl, talk to grandpa, what do you want to say?"
Yi Ling leaned into Qiao Yuanshan's ear and whispered, "Grandpa, you said how rare Tai Sui is, this thing comes out, will there be any disaster?"
When other people say this, Qiao Yuanshan may think of it as a joke, but his granddaughter's words have to make him think more, this child generally doesn't tell lies, and of course he usually doesn't talk to outsiders.
Every time the child said it, he began to mumble in his heart, if the value of this medicine is removed, just talking about the folk, there is really such a thing.
But he didn't know what the little granddaughter was trying to say.
"Girl, what disaster do you think there will be?"
Yi Ling shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, "Who knows, anyway, I'm most afraid of being hungry—"
Although the granddaughter's words were very casual, in Qiao Yuanshan's cognition, maybe this child's mouth was smart?
He didn't know anything else, but the roots of the trees were gnawed away that year, and the starving corpses would be picked up and eaten by the next wave of people again, or the wild dogs would be eaten before they had time to be buried.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder, such an encounter was enough for him to encounter once in his life, and he didn't want to encounter it again.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, God didn't give him food, what could he do?
Touching Shui Yao's head, his eyes were full of love.
"Girl, let's go eat, grandpa has to think about this-"
Although Qiao Yuanshan didn't believe in folklore, he was afraid that he would really delay something, if this was really a warning, he didn't say it, then something really happened and his own conscience would be uneasy.
"Youcai, I'll go find your father, you eat first!"
Yi Ling estimated that the old man must have gone to Zhao Changsheng to discuss this matter, although she knew that this matter was a bit mysterious, but she tried her best, and the rest depends on what everyone will do.
It felt like she didn't want to try, so she had to figure out a way to at least make sure that the people around her didn't starve to death.
When Zheng Manhong came back, she listened to what the man said, and she was not even in a hurry to eat, what she was most concerned about was what this Tai Sui looked like.
"Oh my God, this is Tai Sui?"
Zheng Manhong was curious and wanted to reach out and touch it, but thinking of the legendary story, she shrank back again.
"Dad, is this really Tai Sui?"
Zhao Youcai sighed, "I don't know, Uncle Qiao and Yi Ling said yes, that's it, anyway, Uncle Qiao will take this thing away at night, if you want to see it, take a look at it quickly, I'm really worried about staying at home." ”
As soon as the couple sat down to eat, Qiao Yuanshan walked in with Zhao Changsheng and the respected Hu Sanye.
"Grandpa Beard—"
The third master's surname is Hu, and he has a pinch of beard on his chin, Yi Ling likes to call Grandpa Beard since he was a child, and he hasn't changed it over the years.
The old man likes Yi Ling to call him like this, this white and pure little girl is rare for him, touching Yi Ling's little face.
"I heard you picked it up?"
Yi Ling nodded, "Grandpa Beard, have you eaten?"
The third master nodded, "You eat, the third grandfather has eaten." ”
The three old men studied around that Tai Sui for a long time, and then went into the house and talked for a while, and when the third master and Zhao Changsheng left, they also asked Qiao Yuanshan for a piece of Tai Sui's meat to go back to soak in water and drink.
Yi Ling looked at the old man puzzled, "Grandpa Beard, aren't you afraid?"
The old man laughed twice, "What is there to be afraid of this thing, I have even killed devils, I can be afraid of it, what is the most terrible thing in this world, that is people, not this." ”
Originally, Zheng Manhong wanted to call the old man to stay and eat, but Zhao Changsheng pushed him.
Qiao Yuanshan explained while eating, "The rest of the matter depends on your father-in-law and the third master, your third master has prestige in the village, and we can't do anything else." ”
Zheng Manhong was even more curious about why the third master soaked the medicine in water to drink, she knew that this old man was well-informed when he traveled south and north, and he was much better than them with mud legs.
"Hey, this thing can be soaked in water to nourish your body, why don't you cut a piece of it for your family?"
Zhao Youcai hurriedly waved his hand, "You don't need to cut it, just go back and get me some water." ”
Qiao Yuanshan laughed when he heard this, "Stinky boy, what about you, okay, I'll get you water to drink when I go back." ”
Tai Sui's Yi Ling didn't know what the follow-up would be, anyway, when he went back at night, the grandparents and grandchildren brought this thing home.
"I have promised your third master that you will feed this thing well, alas, let's get some water and raise it well, this time we can really get an ancestor back." ”
