Sister-in-law Gu shook her head and said, "If ordinary people hear this story, they feel the same way as you, saying that the beggar gang wants to annex other people's money." But I don't feel the same way you do, because I know another insider, and through this I don't think the beggars are that kind of people. ”

Yang Xianmao said: "What makes you think like this?"

Sister-in-law Gu said: "I have a friend of the Beggar Gang, who is a fragrant master of the Beggar Gang, he likes to eat fish, and he always feels that the fish in the tavern is not satisfactory. Some of them show you live fish, and then weigh the dead fish for you to eat, even if you look at the killing, you don't feel good. So he liked to let me cook for him, and he gave him a lot of money, and we became friends when we came and went. ”

"Just before you came back, I picked fish to sell, and when I met him, he bought all the fish and asked me to make it for him. I was chatting while I was making fish, and he told me one thing, which was the reason why the beggar gang was fighting with Qian Shanren today. It is because the beggars did see that there were very small wire worms in the porridge of almsgiving, once this kind of worm entered the body, the person would definitely die, and it would be extremely painful before death, it didn't matter if you ate one or two, but if you eat too much, you will die. ”

And it wasn't one person who said that, many people said they saw it, and there was no time for confessions between them. Because almost at the same time, it was discovered that there were wire worms screaming and arguing with each other, and there was a conflict. Moreover, there are two people between these beggars who have had life and death conflicts before, and it is impossible to collude to frame each other. ”

Yang Xianmao frowned and said, "If the situation that this incense lord said is not made up, then there is a very strange problem here. - How did these beggars all see the sudden emergence of the wire worms from the bucket at the same time? and they spoke very realistically, as if they had seen it with their own eyes. But to be honest, this is from the perspective of the beggars, but from the perspective of Qian Shanren, it seems that something is wrong. ”

"What's wrong?"

At that time, there were several servants of Qian Shanren who were in charge of putting porridge next to this porridge bucket, and the people of the beggar gang suddenly screamed, saying that there were iron worms in it, and they were also frightened, and came up to check, but said no. The two sides suddenly quarreled, and Qian Shanren's housekeeper was also present, seeing that the momentum was not right, the other party was very impulsive and seemed to have violent tendencies. So he hurriedly played a round and said to carry this bucket of porridge away and replace it with a new one. But they were grabbed by the beggars and didn't let them go. ”

Yang Xianmao said with a smile: "Now it's going to be exposed, they just want to use this matter to blackmail, otherwise why don't they let the family change the porridge?"

"The people of the Qian family also think so, but they are merciful in the end, and they don't care about this matter like a few beggars. But in order to win the trust of the people, so as not to be gossiped by these beggars, they took a few passers-by and asked them to come over to see if there were any worms in the porridge? Those people scooped out a few spoonfuls with spoons to take a look, shook their heads and said no, but the beggars said yes, saying that these passers-by had all obtained money from the rich family and helped them speak. ”

So he called a few beggars to carry the bucket of porridge and ran away, saying that he would go back and report to their helper. The Qian family wanted to take things back, so they started to move under the dispute. As a result, a few were injured, and the leader of the beggar gang led a group of people to feel that the two sides finally fought. ”

When Yang Xianmao heard this, he couldn't help touching his chin and muttering, and said after a while: "If this is the case, it is a little strange, why after a few passers-by came to check, they didn't say that there were wire worms in it, and they didn't say anything strange." But if the people of the beggar gang are sure that there are worms in it? It seems that the people of the beggar gang are not so bullying, right? Isn't it too low-level to use this method to deceive people? ”

Sister-in-law Gu nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too, and I just want you to know that such a strange thing happened today." ”

Yang Xianmao said: "Judging from all kinds of signs, I have a feeling that there is something wrong with this disaster avoidance village?"

Sister-in-law Gu smiled reluctantly and said, "Nine times out of ten, those who come here are not good people, even if they are good people, they will be brought bad by these bad people when they come here." Therefore, I have always felt that the village of disaster will actually invite disaster, and sooner or later, I believe that the day when disaster will befall should have already begun. ”

Yang Xianmao smiled reluctantly and said, "You don't have to be so pessimistic. ”

Sister-in-law Gu said: "There is another thing that is even more strange, but I have to go to cook first." Let's talk while eating when we make a meal, I bought a pot of wine, let's wait a while and talk while drinking, okay?"

Although Yang Xianmao drank wine for two nights in a row, it was not very uncomfortable. What's more, I felt a little ashamed of my sister-in-law's care, so I immediately nodded and said, "No problem." ”

Sister-in-law Gu went to cook, and Yang Xianmao squatted at the door and bragged with the two of them. The mallet told Yang Xianmao that the well behind their house was bubbling, and he didn't know if there were crabs in it.

Yang Xianmao immediately gasped when she heard this, and immediately remembered the smell of rotten eggs. He rushed to the backyard of Gu's sister-in-law's house and found the well that the mallet said. At this moment, the sun has not yet set, and the light is still relatively sufficient. He clearly noticed that there were indeed small blisters coming out of the well, and he sniffed carefully with his nose, but he did not smell the horrible smell of rotten eggs, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Xianmao turned back to the little mallet and said, "Don't worry, this may be the bubbles of the crabs, and of course it may be the fish and shrimp." ”

"Can fish and shrimp spit bubbles?" looked at Yang Xianmao with disdain, as if he had made a big mistake.

Yang Xianmao hurriedly said: "I'm not talking about ordinary fish and shrimp, I'm saying that there are some fish and shrimp in the river that may be able to spit bubbles, but you haven't seen it." I don't know what the reason is, he suddenly ran to your yard and spit out a few bubbles, and you happened to see it, isn't this just fish and shrimp spitting bubbles?"

Yang Xianmao blushed at his strong words, especially when chatting with a child. Unexpectedly, the little mallet took Yang Xianmao's words seriously, nodded excitedly and said, "Yes, there are some strange fish and shrimp that can spit bubbles." Yesterday my mother took me out fishing, and I caught a fish that cried like a little doll, and its whole body was golden. It looks scary and weird, and if you put it in the water, it will keep spitting bubbles. ”

Yang Xianmao was very surprised, thinking to herself, could the fish crying like a baby be a baby fish?

Seeing Yang Xianmao's frightened expression, the little mallet was very proud, and said: "It's fun, my mother said, this kind of fish will never appear in the river, and the place where the golden fish appeared is near the entrance of the Nanshan stream, which means that this fish swam here from the Nanshan stream, and then was hit by my mother." Therefore, this fish may have come from Nanshan, and Nanshan is a ghost, so it must be a ghost fish. ”

Yang Xianmao suddenly gasped. If that's the case, it's too frightening for this baby fish to really come from Nanshan. Because it seems to break through the previous taboo. Yang Xianmao has the impression that the animals of Nanshan will not leave Nanshan to come to the outside world, but now they have appeared in areas outside Nanshan, which is not a good sign.

Just when Yang Xianmao was puzzled, the sound of Gu's sister-in-law calling for dinner was already heard in front, and Yang Xianmao and they hurried to the front yard. Yang Xianmao couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that there were already several plates of steaming meals on the table, and said, "You have only just gone in for the most meal, how can you make so many dishes?"

Sister-in-law Gu smiled: "No, I have already steamed these dishes, and they can be eaten just as soon as they are hot." ”

Zhuo Ran took a look and saw that there were sections of meat in the milky white soup pot. There are also bones that are arched, and they look a little weird, but I don't know what kind of meat they are.

Seeing Zhuo Ran looking at her suspiciously, Sister-in-law Gu smiled and said, "You haven't eaten this kind of meat, it tastes very beautiful." In particular, the soup is so beautiful that some people say it is even more delicious than the dragon meat in the sky. ”

When Zhuo Ran heard this, he couldn't help but scream and said, "Is it snake meat?"

Sister-in-law Gu slapped her face and said, "You are so smart, you guessed right at once." That's right, this is a hundred flower snake, this kind of snake used to be only available in Nanshan, today you are lucky, I went to sell fish on the way back to really pick up the white flower snake, this white flower snake has spots on its body, it looks very scary, big and thick, just like a python. ”

"Or I was bold, and after asking the price, it was quite cheap, because no one bought it, and it was also a farmer, and he said that while he was working in the field, he suddenly ran out, and knocked the snake to death with a hoe and sold it in the market. said that it would be good to earn a penny, so I didn't care, so I gave him ten pennies to buy this snake. I took the snake back and skinned it, chopped off the head, cut it into pieces with a knife and put it in Zhuo cuisine, and then cooked it slowly. It tasted really good, I tasted a piece, and it should be the best for sake. ”

As he spoke, he put two earthen bowls on the table, brought a large jar of wine, patted the mud seal, and poured the wine.

Zhuo Ran didn't move his chopsticks, and saw that the hundred-flowered snake didn't move. Sister-in-law Gu wiped her hand on the blue cloth waist, then sat beside him, looked at him and said, "What's the matter? Don't you like to eat snake meat? I'm still a little afraid of snake meat, it's not like you." ”

Zhuo Ran took a deep breath and said, "I was a little distracted just now, I was thinking about what happened before. ”

"What are you thinking?"

"A few days ago, I went to Nanshan with the three Tao brothers to find the chicken blood vine that cured his father's disease, and it turned out that the chicken blood vine went to the surrounding area the most was this white flower snake. After we went down, we encountered a lot of white snakes. Some of the snakes were bigger than that, and some were medium. One by one, the snakes came around us, spitting red letters, which were said to be very venomous. It scared us so much that snakes on both sides blocked us. We jumped into the stream below, almost dying, that experience was really scary, I remembered the events of that day when I saw the flower snake, so I ......"
