Chapter 172: So You've Been There
The beautiful singing shook everyone. Lin Jincai, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, was very excited, Chen's eyes bloomed with tears, Lixia took the pen and paper to record the words, and the spring equinox clapped his hands and sang along with it in a low voice, and then sang louder and louder, and sang more passionately.
Han Guining looked at Xiao Han, who was smiling and looking at everyone while singing, her crisp singing voice echoed in her ears, he was completely drunk, and everyone was drunk if he was not drunk.
There is also a person, He Mu who heard the voice, his feelings are different from others, sensitive he not only heard Xiao Han's love for his family in the song, but he also heard a faint trace of sadness in the depths of the song full of emotion.
He was very frightened, he knew that Xiao Han was different from before, and Xiao Han in the past would never be able to sing such a song. Because no matter how a person changes, his knowledge cannot come out of thin air, and his emotions cannot be born out of thin air.
He Mu leaned against the door and looked at Xiao Han quietly, as if she was the only one left in the world, left behind and independent.
Han Chun was the first to notice He Mu's arrival, although the song also evoked his sorrow as an orphan. But as Childe's bodyguard, he must not lose his vigilance at any time. However, He Mu also knew him and knew that he and Xiaohan had also had a "scandal".
At this moment, He Mu's eyes showed a different kind of affection, which immediately aroused Han Chun's vigilance. A cold light shot out of his eyes: Dare to rob a woman with his son, hum!
Everyone laughed and laughed, and before they knew it, it was already late at night. Lin Jincai kept Han Guining to stay, saying that it was already dark, the village was far away from the town, and it was probably difficult to walk on the way back.
Han Chun thought to himself: What is this road, no matter how difficult and dark the road is, we will also walk it. But when he saw that Childe happily agreed to stay, he had to shut up: Childe, you are not saved!
So this night, Han Guining occupied the room of the beginning of summer and the spring equinox in a grand manner, and the brothers had to go to He Mu's room to sleep.
The spring equinox is very happy, he hasn't chatted with Brother Komaki for a long time. Therefore, he pulled He Mu to speak in a croaking voice, mainly talking about the interesting stories in the rivers and lakes that Chu Zhao told him, He Mu was absent-minded, and his mouth was humming. As he spoke, his voice lowered.
The room was silent for a long time, and a voice rang out: "What are you going to do in the future?"
No one answered, and after a while, another voice sounded faintly: "I'll try." β
"I'd rather be you than someone else. The previous voice sounded again.
"Hmm. The voice was soft, but with great determination.
The whole room fell silent, and the night covered the world like a great net.
And Wang Zhong, who returned to Donglang Town, was full of hope that he would be able to see the son he longed for at night, but unfortunately the son did not come back overnight.
It wasn't until the next morning, when the neck at the door of the guest house was about to break, that I finally saw Gongzi coming on a horse. I haven't seen him for a few years, and the demeanor of the son is even worse. He flew forward and shouted, "Childe, you're back!"
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in front of him, and he felt that he was flying, and the sky was spinning, and he had been cut off by a man, and he was kicked in the knee, and his legs were weak and he knelt down.
The money shopkeeper behind him chased him out and shouted: "Han Chun, don't be embarrassed for him, it's your own person." β
He said to Han Guining again: "Childe, he is Wang Zhong, the son of Gongzi's nurse, and he has been by Gongzi's side since he was a child. β
"Wang Zhong, it's you!How did you find here?" Han Guining's surprised voice sounded, and he hurriedly asked Han Chun to let go.
Wang Zhong stood up, shook his arm, and said with a crying voice: "Childe, I haven't seen you for so many years, and your entourage will give me a dismount when I see this time, my hands are about to be broken by him." Childe, lo and behold, it's all swollen. β
"I haven't seen you for a few years, and you kid still pretend to be pitiful so much. Han Guining laughed, happy to meet his former friends and playmates.
"Isn't it just pretending, it's so naΓ―ve to sue such an adult!" Han Chun said disdainfully.
"You! You're a barbarian, you have a problem with your ears, you obviously heard me call Gongzi, and you still arrested me!" Wang Zhong glanced at him and said indignantly.
"Okay, what kind of system are you two arguing in front of your son. The money shopkeeper shouted.
The two immediately stopped, glared at each other, and turned their heads to the side.
Han Guining couldn't help laughing when he looked at the awkward appearance of the two.
went to the private room on the second floor, and the shopkeeper poured tea for Han Guining and told him about his meeting with Wang Zhong.
Han Guining listened to Wang Zhong describe his life in the past few years and the process of fleeing this year. After listening, he didn't say a word and his face was calm, but Han Chun, who often followed him, carefully noticed that Childe's hand holding the armrest of the chair was white because of excessive force.
Mother, nurse and wife, and those faithful servants, Han Guining only felt boundless hatred.
After a long time, he stood up and helped Wang Zhong, who was kneeling in front of him: "The blood debt will eventually be paid with blood! Wait, there will be a day!"
The voice came from the chest, not big, but sonorous, full of strength and determination. The three people present trembled in their hearts when they heard this, and a stream of blood rushed to their heads, their eyes were hot, and they looked up at Gongzi's cold face, and they responded in unison: "Blood debt and blood repayment, revenge!"
The voices of the three of them were not loud, but they rushed into the sky......
The Lin family, Xiao Han got up early in the morning and thought about his rice noodle test. She didn't even bother to eat breakfast, and when the rice noodles were made, it would be breakfast, she thought to herself.
She weighed three catties of rice, washed it with water and dried it before preparing to grind it, only to find that she did not have a stone mill. Chen said that the whole village only has the entrance of the ancestral hall, which is shared by the whole village, and when the villagers want to make glutinous rice during the festival, they will take the rice there to grind it into flour, and if there are more people, they will have to queue up.
Xiao Han asked his father to hurry up and grind the rice into flour. At the same time, he gave Lixia a task: find himself a large round bamboo tube, poke ten small holes at the bottom of the bamboo tube, and make a wooden plug with a handle.
Lixia knew that Xiao Han was thinking about fresh food, and he didn't ask the reason, so he did it quietly.
Xiao Han is very satisfied: his brother is a practical person and doesn't like to talk, but the tasks assigned to him can always be successfully completed, which is too reliable.
Half an hour later, Lin Jincai came back. Xiao Han asked Chen to guide her, she wanted to make the rice noodles into a paste, but she didn't know how much water to add appropriately.
Chen looked at the amount of rice noodles, first added half a scoop of water to stir, Xiao Han felt that it was too thick, and asked her to add some water, and so on, and finally adjusted it into a paste that was not thin or thick, Xiao Han was very satisfied.
Then she lights a fire and steam it in a steamer basket with rice flour paste, and the rice noodles become flakes. After cooling, use a knife to cut into chopstick-sized strips, which is done, and the powder made in this way is called cut powder.
Xiao Han was very excited, and hurriedly poured the leftover big bone broth from yesterday into the pot and boiled, put the sliced lean meat into the soup and cooked, then put the chopped powder in, and put a few pieces of washed green cabbage leaves, chopped red peppers, sprinkled with shallots when it came out of the pot, and put some spicy cabbage on hold, and it was done.
Bowls of fragrant, beautiful, sour and spicy rice noodles were served on the table, and the whole family was grumbling with hunger, smelling the fragrance and swallowing saliva. They all know that they have something good to eat this morning, so they'd rather wait hungry.
After everyone sat down, Xiao Han announced "open to eat", and several people began to gobble up.
Xiao Han also couldn't wait to take a bite and put it in his mouth. The rice noodles are smooth in the mouth, the soup is delicious but not greasy, and the spicy taste of the spicy cabbage is so appetizing.
Lin Jincai and Lixia both ate two bowls, and even ate one and a half bowls of the spring equinox. Only Chen and Xiaohan have a smaller amount of rice, a bowl of belly, and then drink the soup, and they can no longer hold it.
"It's so delicious, Xiao Han, how did you come up with the idea of making this rice noodle?" Chen asked with a smile.
"Because the spring equinox is greedy, I thought of a good way to make delicious food to satisfy the gluttony of our little cat. Xiao Han laughed playfully.
Everyone laughed, and the spring equinox was not only not angry, but felt that he had also made a meritorious service. If you don't have greed, your sister won't be motivated, and the whole family won't be able to eat such delicious food.
Xiao Han had to admire his strong thinking and his face as thick as a wall, this is also a kind of ability, isn't it?
After eating, in the next half a day, Xiao Han was ready to start researching another kind of rice noodles - squeezing noodles, this is the snail-related noodles she told Han Guining last time - snail noodles, which was also her favorite in her previous life!
Making snail flour is much more troublesome than cutting flour, Xiao Han first soaked ten catties of rice in water for an hour, and then asked Lin Jincai to go to the village to grind the rice into rice milk - after the New Year, it is time for someone to make a stone mill for the family, it is too inconvenient to go to the village when you are old.
Lin Jincai put the cloth bag on the wooden barrel and quickly pushed the stone mill, and the rice milk slowly flowed into the cloth bag. After grinding, tie the bag tightly, and when you get home, rest the bag on the handle of the barrel, and then fix it with a flat pole on both sides of the barrel, this is to drain the water as soon as possible.
After two hours, the water in the bag was drained, forming a large ball of rice flour.
Next, the cooked rice is pounded into rice cereal in a ratio of one-fifth, and kneaded with the drained rice milk to make rice flour balls.
Then, Xiao Han asked Chen to boil a pot of boiling water in a large pot, and then put the rice flour dough into the bamboo bucket made before Lixia, and then Xiao Han used his milk strength to push the wooden stopper down, and the rice flour dough was pressed out of the small hole at the bottom, forming a round rice noodle, and the rice noodle fell directly into the cauldron filled with boiling water below, and after scalding for more than ten seconds, it was taken out and put into the basket.
Shauki is a kind of bamboo ware made of bamboo strips for vegetables or rice, with many small thin strips and grooves on it.
This kind of rice noodles is called squeezing flour because it has to be squeezed hard.
Lixia saw that her sister was struggling, so she quickly and thoughtfully took over to press the powder for her, and Xiao Han saw that her brother and mother could handle it, so she began to prepare snail soup.
Last night, Xiao Han had already soaked the snails in clean water and let the snails spit out the mud. First take out the snails and drain the water, then heat the pot and pour oil, pour in the snails, and stir-fry with green onions, ginger, garlic, chili peppers and star anise. After about ten minutes of frying, it is estimated that the snails have already tasted, then pour in rice wine, add large bones, salt, and water to slowly boil over low heat. I have to stay up for five hours, and I can't eat tonight, so I have to wait until tomorrow.
After doing all this, it was already late, and Xiao Han was so tired that he didn't have the strength to cook anymore. Chen boiled the leftover rice noodles in the morning according to Xiao Han's method, and everyone devoured them. Although it was the second time I ate it, everyone still ate it deliciously, and the soup was all drunk.
After explaining to his father about adding firewood and fire at night, Xiao Han fell asleep with peace of mind.
There was no moon tonight, no fingers could be seen, the wind was blowing, and only a few stars blinking lonely in the night sky.
"The moon is dark and kills the night, and the wind is high and the sky is on fire. "Donglang Town, at the time of the third watch, in a courtyard with three entrances, suddenly a few black shadows flashed on the wall. A dark figure approached a room, listened attentively, and then skillfully stretched out his finger to poke a small hole in the window paper, and then reached into a bamboo pipe and blew softly.
After a while, he pushed open the window and jumped in, landing silently. He tiptoed close to the man lying on the bed, and stabbed his heart through the quilt. But he didn't hear the expected sound of the knife inserting into the flesh, and he quickly lifted the quilt to see that there were only a few clothes inside.
It's broken, it's a trick. The shadow was about to escape the window when it slammed shut. The black shadow was startled, his cold hair stood on end, he didn't know where his opponent was hiding in the dark, and the fear of the unknown made his heart beat like a drum.
At this time, there was a sound of fighting in the courtyard, and the man in black gritted his teeth, wanting to hurry out and join his companions. He turned and ran to the door, where suddenly a sword reached out and pointed at his chest. He stepped back step by step, cold sweat soaking his back, and a strong sense of crisis welled up in his heart.
"Do you want to run, since you're here, stay here!" the lights in the room suddenly turned on, and a cold voice sounded from the back. He turned his head to look, only to see two figures turn out from behind the screen, one was Han Guining, and the other was Wang Zhong, Wang Zhong was holding the lamp in his hand, and the fear and anger in his heart were intertwined, making his hand holding the lamp tremble, and the flames kept beating. And the one in front of him who was holding a knife pointed at him was a young man in black who was about eighteen or nineteen years old.
Han Guining looked at this masked man, tall, dressed in black, and couldn't tell his age.
"Han Chun, take him down!" Han Chun raised his sword and stabbed, the man in black stretched out his knife to block, and the two sides came and went, but the martial arts of the man in black were obviously lower than Han Chun, and at this time he couldn't hear the sound of fighting in the courtyard, and he didn't know what happened to his companion. He was a little uneasy, and was taken down by Han Chun after a while. When I took off the mask, I saw that it was a man in his thirties, with a full beard.
"Pick off his tendons and tendons, and check his mouth for poison. Han Guining said indifferently.
Han Chun quickly opened his mouth and examined it, and then the tip of the sword quickly clicked a few times.
"Ahh Han Guining's eyes were quick, so he hurriedly caught it, held it firmly in his hand, and handed it to Wang Zhong.
"Less guts than a mouse. Han Chun underestimated it, Wang Zhong took the lamp with a red face, but he didn't dare to refute, he was afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth, his voice would tremble, it would be too embarrassing.
"Say, who sent you?" Han Guining shouted.
The man in black sneered and said, "If you want to kill or chop whatever you want, if you want to take a word out of my mouth, dream." β
Dreaming, you will know who is dreaming later, Han Guining showed a cruel smile on his face: "Han Chun, you count three times, if you don't say it, you cut off his left ear, and if you count three times, cut off your right ear if you don't say it." Not to mention, cut off his nose again, gouged off his left eye, pierced his right eye, and cut off the root of his life. β
Every time Han Guining said a word, the body of the man in black trembled. Looking at this handsome son, the man in black felt that the man standing in front of him was a devil.
"One, two, three. Han Chun counted unhappily, the man in black felt that the sound was like a drum beating on his heart, he gritted his teeth and did not say a word, only staring at Han Guining with a pair of eyes resentfully.
"Huh", Han Chun's sword flashed, and a bloody ear fell off. The man in black screamed, wanting to cover his ears, but his hands were weak, so he could only stare at Han Chun resentfully.
Han Chun's face was expressionless, and he sped up his speed and counted "one, two, three", the tip of the sword shook, and his right ear fell off again. With a miserable howl, the man in black rolled his eyes and fainted.
Han Guining coldly ordered: "Splash him with cold water for me!"
With a "bang", Han Chun brought a large basin of cold water and splashed it over, and the man in black woke up slowly, only to feel a sharp pain piercing his heart.
"Nose. Han Guining commanded.
Han Chun raised his sword. "I said, I said!" the man in black hurriedly shouted, "It's Madame Wu's order, let's pretend to let Wang Zhong go, and then follow him to find you, and then kill him." I was in charge of the killing, and the other two were in charge of setting fires. The man in black finished speaking in one breath and pleaded, "I'm done, please give me a good time." β
"If you succeed, how will you contact her?" asked Han Guining.
"With carrier pigeons, carrier pigeons are placed in room No. 1 of the Yuelai Inn, and we will stay there tonight. "The man in black knows everything.
"It's good to cooperate like this earlier, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin. Han Chun, send him on his way. Han Guining commanded.
Han Guining turned around, looked at Wang Zhong, who was trembling, and asked, "Wang Zhong, how do you feel tonight?"
Wang Zhong's legs were weak, and he knelt down involuntarily: "Childe, it's the villain's negligence, and the villain doesn't know that someone is following him." But please believe that the villain will never betray the child, let alone harm the child. β
Han Guining nodded: "Get up, I believe you." In the future, we should be more cautious and not give the enemy a chance. You can also see that if you follow me, your life will be in danger at any time. β
"Yes!" replied Wang Zhong.
"Do you think my behavior just now was cruel?" asked Han Guining.
Wang Zhong hurriedly shook his head. "You must know that to be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself, and you have heard that they not only kill people but also set fires, and if I am not careful today, I am afraid that we will die. Han Guining explained.
Wang Zhong nodded heavily, indicating that he remembered. (To be continued.) )
