Chapter 124: What to Fight with the World
Under the praise of the Seven Elders, the big dish finally came up.
The four maids all held a large plate of gilded vegetables and walked up cautiously.
Then the dish was placed in the middle of the table, and the cotton wool was drooling and his eyes were dripping to look up.
The Seventh Elder raised his bamboo chopsticks and said excitedly: "This is a specialty of the Southern City that the Sixth Elder bought at a high price, and I specially found a big dish made by a famous chef in the Northern City - bat sashimi." ”
I saw that on the gilded plate, the bats were dark and ugly, lying on the cabbage leaves with hideous faces, and the bat's belly was sprinkled with gold leaf.
Xiangmian's heart was full of disappointment, this was a big dish, and the plate was big enough.
The old man's saliva flowed down the door, and he immediately took a shot, grabbed a huge bat, and bit it down on its head.
Xiangmian immediately couldn't stand it, she got up and used the wind trick to snatch the bat from the old man's hand.
Song Xiu took a breath of air and said with surprise: "This... Grandson, now there is a reason to snatch the meat that is so fast to the mouth!"
Xiangmian casually threw the bat back on the plate, and everyone expressed surprise at her attitude.
"Grandpa, this bat can't be eaten, if you eat people, it will mutate, mutate like a walking corpse, the whole body is covered with a plague virus, and then it will bite people wildly, do you want to be poisoned, and finally we will be locked up like a monkey!" Ying Xiangmian said helplessly.
Then she persuaded her bitterly: "Grandpa elders, you see how ugly it looks and how miserable it is, let me take it out and bury it! ”
After she finished speaking, she was about to take away the dinner plate, but her grandfather Song Xiu stopped her with his hand.
"Heh!" Song Xiu let out a cold chuckle, and then he crooked his mouth and smiled: "Heng'er, you are greedy yourself, if you want to take away all the plates and eat them alone, you have to make up those absurd and uninhibited jokes to deceive us." ”
"Grandpa, I'm telling the truth, it's true, what are you lying about! My aunt was also at the scene, and she witnessed with her own eyes how the Xiaohong mercenary group went to self-destruction!" Ying Xiangmian replied a little angrily.
"Hehe! Song Yu only said at that time that your martial arts had progressed, and you had left to subdue the demon beasts, and there was no mutation story you said at all. ”
Then Song Xiu confidently asked: "Besides, Heng'er, isn't it because the Xiaohong mercenary group robbed one of your demon beasts that you let you destroy them in anger, what does it have to do with this plate of sashimi." ”
Xiangmian heard these words said by the old man, and suddenly felt disappointed in her heart, that is, even the most trusted people around her would still choose to believe the rumors and not trust her heartfelt words.
In this world, there are indeed few wise people and many mediocre people.
But she didn't want to argue too much, after all, everyone slowly changed from a mediocre to a wise man, except for his grandfather, at this age, his mind is still not fully developed, and he only stays at the stage of being very shrewd in picking doors.
Then she changed the subject and asked, "What are the benefits of Grandpa eating a chrysanthemum bat?
Who knows that Song Xiu said with a smile: "Heng'er, you are right, eating this bat can make people immortal, do you know that the creatures on the mountain are spiritual, this bat is produced in that place, and after eating it, it may be able to increase our spiritual power greatly." ”
After Song Xiu finished speaking, the Seventh Elder also echoed from the side: "This is a true thing, none of the rich children in the Nancheng area have never eaten this taste, and the Sixth Elder also wants to eat it! ”
The Seventh Elder was still a little proud and boasted in front of Elder Yu Shuang.
"Hehe! Did the six elders buy this game for themselves? Maybe they will take the bats to feed other things, and you are really big-hearted, what kind of person is he? You dare to follow the wind to eat the things he bought. ”
Ying Xiangmian replied angrily.
Song Xiu, who was often secretly wearing small shoes by the six elders, was also a little panicked after hearing this, after all, he had not really seen the process of the six elders eating bats.
And he often heard the six elders say that eating chrysanthemum bats will never grow old, if this thing really lives forever, the six elders will not age faster than him after Song Yi was kicked out of the house.
Could it be that this is another trap set for him by the six elders, he just waited to see that he had eaten the mutation, and then put himself in a cage and played like a monkey.
Looking at Song Xiu, who sat down quietly to pour wine, the Seventh Elder did not stop his chopsticks, took a small bat and put it in the bowl, and said with a joke: "The Sixth Elder will harm him, but he doesn't dare to harm me and Elder Yu Shuang." ”
After saying that, he proudly tore off the bat's wings and decided to have a delicious meal.
Ying Xiangmian said very clearly: "The sixth elder is the richest person in the family, what he wants to buy, will there be any leftovers left for you, seventh elder." ”
"This..."The Seventh Elder understood the character of the Sixth Elder who would buy all the things out of the money, and his mouth paused and said, "This is because the dealer has a friendship and specially left some good goods for me." ”
Xiangmian smiled here and said, "The head of the merchant has a friendship with you, but why did he choose me to send you on the day I go home? Isn't it that the sixth elder deliberately left him, or bought him and specially prepared it for us." ”
The Seventh Elder suddenly didn't dare to eat, but he still retorted: "The Sixth Elder will harm you and the Patriarch, but what is he trying to harm me and Elder Yu Shuang for? ”
Elder Yu Shuang is a god-level figure in the Song family, who doesn't envy his strength and his status. But if Elder Yu Shuang stayed in the Song family all the time, wouldn't there be many obstacles for the six elders to change?"
Ying Xiangmian thought about it and replied, and she was also suddenly open.
After listening to this, Song Xiu and the Seventh Elder also looked very thoughtful and terrified, people's hearts were unpredictable, not to mention that the Sixth Elder was indeed the most calculating person in the Song family.
At the beginning, Song Xiu was able to become the patriarch, in addition to relying on his own martial arts cultivation, the identity of the eldest son was the most important reason, and it was also a disadvantage that made some family members feel unfair.
In the early morning, the rooster is still crowing and singing, and the swallows are still in the trees for the arrival of spring, crying happily, and the guards outside the yard are still standing guard seriously for the safety of Qingyuan.
Song Shi, Yan Liyu and Mu Lang, who poured wine, they just sat there and listened carefully, not daring to interject half a sentence.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere returned to the cold of winter.
"Why do you use a knife to kill people, you can use a strategy, Heng'er, you take out all the bats on the table and bury them! I don't want to see them again!" Elder Yu Shuang, who had never spoken before, finally gave the order.
"Yes!" replied Xiangmian, and then he lifted the bat dish plate on the table with both hands.
"There are too many bats in Heng'er, and the plate is heavy, so help you carry it for your father!" After Xiangmian's fierce argument, Song Shi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, stood up and carried the bat sashimi with his son.
"Young master, it will take a long time for you to bury these bats alone, so the slave will help you bury them together!"
The three of them left the front room with the carcass of the bat, leaving Yan Liyu at the dinner table, and she carefully poured wine and food for several old people.
Then he jokingly said: "Heng'er is this anxious son, he is telling the truth, his heart is not bad, this heart is also for our Song family, father and elders, don't be angry with this stupid person who only loves to practice martial arts." ”
"Silly lengzi, Heng'er was quite stupid when she was a child, when she was six years old, she was still running around Song's house in pee crotch pants, and then her butt was pecked by a pigeon, hahahaha!" Song Xiu laughed as he touched his beard.
"I remember that it was still a carrier pigeon raised by the fourth brother, because it was too fat to fly, so it was put in the mansion and walked around" The seventh elder also took a sip of wine and said with a laugh.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere returned to the temperature that spring should have.
Song Shi dug a big pit under the loquat tree in the backyard, and Mu Lang put some sleep-aiding herbs in the pit, hoping that the dead bats would have a good night's sleep here.
Xiangmian carefully put the bats into the pit one by one, and then said with emotion: "What is the fight with the world, the world does not tolerate you, you are born proud, what is the use of being quiet." ”
