Chapter 57: The Terrible Village
The young people listened to the wind and rain, and they were about to attack us when they went to their sleeves, although they said that they had big shoulders and round waists, and they were all fierce, but they were extremely afraid of the five old men, and the five old men suddenly coughed, and everyone immediately stopped their movements, all of them look at me, I look at your big eyes and small eyes, obviously very awe of this old man. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The old man's face was gloomy, his expression was dull, and he looked at everyone left and right and said, "They are outsiders, they don't understand our rules here, how can they hurt their lives?" Have you all forgotten how your ancestors explained? ”
I scratched my head, how did I feel like I was back in the old society?
Could it be that the villagers still follow the lifestyle of the old imperial calendar? Living a modern life?
I remember my father said that in some remote mountainous areas, people still retain the old traditional concepts, the so-called old traditions, which are the rules left by the older generations, no matter which dynasty and which generation, and even the new society in the 21st century, some areas still keep the traditions, and some people attach great importance to these traditions.
For example, there are some areas in the northeast to drive the barren mountains, that is, to go up the mountain to worship the yellow skin, remember that there is a village in the eight years, which can be called the hometown of the dancing god, as soon as it comes to a certain festival, the whole village will put on new clothes, drag a candlestick in their hands to the barren mountains and mountains not far away to worship the old Huang grandpa.
I heard that the festival was so spectacular that it could be called lighting a lamp to worship the gods, and hundreds of people in a village were going to go on foot to worship the gods under the light of the lights.
During this period, if someone's candle is about to be extinguished, it is the so-called ghost blowing the lamp, and the person whose candle is extinguished will definitely not survive that night.
And these stories were told to me by my father many years ago, and I heard them at the time as a rough idea, and now I look back on them and look at what is happening now!
Is there really any taboo for these villagers? Have their traditional rules?
The fifth old man looked at the sky, couldn't help but shake his head, sighed and said, "Hey, forget it, now I just want to drive you away, I'm afraid I can't let them go!" You'd better come back to the village with us. ”
I don't have any opinion, but Lao Li is still angry, he said, "Who is going with you?" Where is your village? Is there anything to eat? ”
I burst out laughing, this fucking kid knows how to eat, and he hardly knows anything else but eating.
Eat, everyone will, but I have never seen such a person who can eat, and no one has ever seen such a person who can eat.
Today, I'm afraid that the old and young masters of the whole village have seen the long-lost weasel, five chickens and a roast duck were all dried into the stomach by Lao Li, and they also used a toothpick to pick their teeth while saying to me: "Lao Chu! Why don't you eat it? ”
The two of us were sitting opposite each other on the earthen kang, and the countless stunned villagers standing below seemed to be shocked by Lao Li's amount of food.
I looked at the few vegetables left, picked up a cabbage, weighed it in front of the kid's eyes, and said, "Just a cabbage?" I haven't gone down this bowl of rice yet! You're all gone? ”
Li Dachun's amount of food is really not blown, in the past, when I was in middle school, I would eat some noodles with him after school at noon, and he would tell the boss to serve him a basin, and he would pout and eat it with a fork.
He looked at the villagers with a toothpick in his mouth and said, "Everyone, can you add a few dishes or something!" We have the money, you just have to take care of it, the chicken is coming, don't put so much salt this time! And the roast duck just now, give me a little crispy in the roast, and the oil must come out when you bite into it! This, this, this, and this, these dishes are on a whole plate! Then serve me two bottles of white, and if you have beer, you'll better bring me a case of it! ”
The villagers were indifferent.
Lao Li blinked, picked them with a toothpick and said, "Go!" Why don't you move the place? ”
No one paid attention to him at all, and even some people were rubbing their fingers together, which seemed like something almost meant!
I saw them like this and this, so I touched them in the pocket of my clothes, and remembered that the clothes and trousers were not ours, and our wet clothes were piled up on the kang.
I quickly took out my wallet in the pocket of my wet pants, took out five wet red tickets from it, handed them to a young woman, and said, "Sister, just do as he said, our money has been soaked in the river water, but it can still be used after drying!" ”
As soon as the young woman heard that the money had been soaked in the river, she immediately took it, like a little girl who saw the candy and wanted to quickly unpack it and stuff it into her mouth to taste it.
This time, the dishes were served quickly, and almost half an hour later, the dishes on the table became hearty.
Lao Li put the empty plate of leftover vegetable soup on the kang, reached out and tore off a chicken leg, took a few bites of chicken first, and then said vaguely: "Okay, this time it's not so salty!" Lao Chu, you are also tidy! ”
I nodded, my heart was not as open as he could eat, and he could let go.
As the old saying goes, you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people.
I remember that when we entered the village with the fifth old man just now, everyone had a very strange expression on their faces, as if they were very defensive of us, and there was still a bit of obscenity in their eyes, even if they came to the house of the fifth old man and sat on their kang, it still made me feel uncomfortable, and I felt that something would definitely happen.
I don't know anything about the history of this village, even if I give money to some children, the children don't tell me the origin of the village, they just know that they want money when they reach out and candy when they open their mouths.
Lao Li poured a bowl of wine in a hurry, lifted it up, and felt that something was wrong, so he glanced at the villagers who were still watching and said, "Hey, don't sell orders here, hurry up, let's eat, you can also watch?" ”
He said to me, "Come to Lao Chu, do it first as a respect!" ”
As soon as he did it, a person next to him shouted, "Well done!" ”
Lao Li squirted out with a pop, coughed coughing, and turned back to the villager who didn't know which one to speak: "This wine is poisonous?" ”
I laughed and looked at the way he coughed, like a fat clown, and I said, "You slow down, you eat in a hurry, can't you be steady?" ”
A young man who looked to be in his twenties walked over and pointed to the unbranded bottle and said, "This wine is very brewable, and you will get drunk if you go down in a bowl!" ”
Lao Li glanced at him, he was most annoyed by someone saying that he couldn't drink enough, he ignored the kid, continued to pour wine, and when he poured a full bowl again, and raised it to toast me, he suddenly glared at seven or eight villagers this time, meaning that if anyone dared to suddenly roar, he would have to fight with these people.
None of the villagers didn't cover their mouths and smile, and the young man next to me also secretly laughed.
I glanced at the young man and told him to go out, how about we buddies eat without pomp and circumstance, let's all go out.
After listening to my words, they all walked out, and before leaving, the young man also specially instructed Lao Li to say two words, this wine has a lot of stamina, and you must not drink it like this.
Lao Li cut it, lifted the bowl and said, "Come to Lao Chu, I respect you for this bowl, and when we leave tomorrow, we will directly settle the account and everything!" ”
I smiled, picked up the wine bottle and poured a bowl of wine, touched him directly and said: "The matter of money, we will mention it in the future, eat first, and study some things after eating!" ”
The two didn't consider the degree of wine at all, and Northeast people also pay attention to deep feelings when drinking, shallow feelings, and lick them.
Let's not say that the amount of wine is very good, but the two bowls are dried directly, and there is no problem.
Lao Li doesn't know what he is crazy about, he has always been a beer drinker, and he can step on a box to drink, and the most he drinks white is about two taels.
I don't know if I'm happy to eat today, or I'm really happy, and I poured two bowls respectively, and said to me that this bowl is to celebrate that we can come out of the ancient tomb smoothly, and put some mystery that has not been solved, and I will see Lao Mo in the future!
By the end of the second bowl, the night had become dark, and the room had become a little dark.
Outside the window, I heard someone talking, faintly, and I didn't know if I was drunk or if they were talking too loudly.
Anyway, it was very clear, and a man with a hoarse voice said, "Wine, did they drink it?" ”
Lao Li and I glanced at each other, and he said to me, "What's the old Chu? Is this wine really poisonous? ”
I frowned, shook my hand, and motioned for him to continue listening, listening to what else they had to say.
"I guess I drank it, I told the fat man that the wine can't be drunk like this, I guess he must have drunk a big bowl in one gulp!"
"It's easy to drink it, are you ready for everything or something?"
"I've been prepared, how can I not do what the fifth master ordered!"
"Well, it's ready, I think that fat man seems to have two hits, I heard that he can beat twenty people in our village by himself?"
"Hey, it's okay, he's going to be recruited, even if he's a dragon, he's still on the plate, and if it's a tiger, he's lying down."
"Brother, be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship, you go and see if the two of them have fainted!"
Damn, it seems that you have really met the master who seeks money and kills!
Lao Li picked up the wine bottle and was about to go out, but I stopped him and said, "Don't be impulsive, since they dare to let us in, they will designate a way to deal with the two of us, let's see what the situation is talking about first!" ”
Lao Li couldn't hold back the anger in his heart at all, he said: "Don't look, look at what!" Just put him down first, one is talking! ”
The footsteps were near, very close, so close that it was estimated that you could be in this broken house in a step or two.
I patted Lao Li, and the best way at the moment is to pretend to be dizzy, see what they want to do first, and then talk about it.
I held him down and said, "Don't be impulsive, let's pretend to be dizzy and see what they want to do!" If it's really murder for money, it's not too late for us to do it then! ”
Lao Li was unwilling, and finally lay down on the kang, and I also lay down, squinting at the people who were about to come, and secretly thought to myself, what kind of village is this? Is it really a den of bandits?
