Chapter 19: The Turtle
Sima Luming's old-fashioned tone, "Ridiculous, how can a person marry a god." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Di Sanniang smiled lightly, took a breath and blew towards Sima Luming and Changsheng, choking Changsheng coughing again and again, so much so that he had to keep fanning with his hand, Di Sanniang said, "You old and unserious, why did you accept serious eight hundred disciples." ”
Fu Yan said, "You are thirty good ......" Di Sanniang's murderous eyes glared fiercely, and Fu Yan changed his words, "Why bother with these two children." ”
Di Sanniang knocked the head of the cigarette stick in the shape of a lotus shower head on the table, and poured out the ash inside, "There is a river in our place, called Anxu River, and the name of this town is also derived from this. In the early years, the wind and rain were smooth, and everyone in the town felt that they were blessed by the dragon god who was spreading clouds and rain, and everyone pooled money to build a dragon king temple by the river. Until three years ago, there was a great drought here that year, and for eight months in a row, not a drop of rain fell, and the earth was cracked by the sun, and even the water of the Anxu River was dried up. If you go on like this, you will die of thirst if you don't starve to death, so a local goddess went to a poor girl and married her to the dragon king, saying that it was strange that it would rain for three days. Since then, a girl who is clear and jade will be selected here every year to marry. ”
Changsheng muttered, "Then the Dragon King doesn't have many wives. "One a year, then I've already married two, and now I'm marrying another, isn't it going to be a group of wives and concubines soon?
Di Sanniang smiled, "Silly girl, marrying the Dragon King is just good." ”
Sima Luming said with a cold face, "That's a sacrifice." ”
Changsheng was surprised, "Could it be that you are directly ...... people?"
Di Sanniang sneered, "Yes, even if you treat people as sacrifices, you have to kill chickens and ducks when you sacrifice to the gods during the New Year's holidays, but it's different here, it's just killing." If a person dies and can keep the village peaceful, it can only be wronged her. What's more, even the magistrate here acquiesced. ”
Sima Luming felt that Di Sanniang's words were cold-blooded.
Di Sanniang continued, "Tonight, the sedan chair will be carried by the girl of the Gu family all the way to the Dragon King Temple, and after worshipping the Dragon King and asking the Dragon King what he meant, he will sink directly into the river. That's her life, it's better to marry a peddler and a pawn than to be a thin one. Di Sanniang shrugged, "I also sympathize with her, but unfortunately I can't do anything." ”
Changsheng glanced at the sedan chair on the street, this is the so-called sedan chair? Carry people to Huangquan Road. She moved her foot, but she kicked something hard.
She lifted the tablecloth and glanced down.
When you see a turtle, you slap a small turtle the size of a palm.
"Hostess." The cook in the tavern ran out with a kitchen knife in his hand, sweating profusely from the stove fire, and said hurriedly, "The turtle that was sent over today just for the stewed soup didn't know where to go." ”
When Di Sanniang heard this, she stood up and pointed to the cook's head and poked, "How do you do it, that's what Lord Liu ordered, he likes to drink Poria cocos stewed turtle the most, and it can't be an old turtle, I asked people to look for it for a long time, and I just caught such a small one today, and I was thinking about sending it to the six jars of champion red at night, you are good, come out and tell me that the turtle is gone!" ”
The cook muttered quietly, "That turtle is in a bamboo basket with those fish, and I don't know who knocked it over." I'm busy watching the fire stir-fry again, where can I care so much. ”
Di Sanniang scolded, "How did I find a group of people like you to work, a turtle can't run or fly, don't look around quickly, maybe it didn't climb out." ”
Changsheng looked at the little turtle under the table, and he didn't know if she was wrong, but felt that the little turtle was looking at her pitifully with a pair of mung bean eyes.
Di Sanniang shouted, "Girl." ”
Changsheng panicked and put down the tablecloth to cover it.
Sanniang asked, "What are you looking at?" What's down there? ”
Changsheng shook his head desperately, not daring to look into the other party's eyes because he was not good at lying. But he didn't know that he had already been here without three hundred taels of silver.
Di Sanniang was sure that there must be something under the table, so she wanted to lift the tablecloth to see what was going on.
Changsheng was in a hurry, stood up and tripped over the chair, and hit the cook next to him without standing firm for a while, the knife in the cook's hand flew out and stuck on the table next door, the guest at the next table was frightened and connected to the chair and fell into the foot of the shopkeeper who poured tea and water, the teapot in the shopkeeper's second-hand was thrown out and shattered on another table, the guest at that table jumped up in fright and crashed into the counter, and the counter poured a few jars of wine on the ground and smashed into powder......
The smell of wine in a room, in a blink of an eye, is already a mess.
Lian Fu held up his wine glass, as if he had been pointed.
Di Sanniang turned her head and glared at the three of them, and some customers in the store were frightened and wanted to leave.
I saw Di Sanniang pull out the kitchen knife from the next table, and the meteor strode at the door, raising her right foot and stepping on the door frame with a heroic movement, dangling the sharp kitchen knife, full of posture, "I'm not a place to eat and drink for nothing, even if there is a fire in the store today, you have to settle the money before you can leave!" ”
Changsheng swallowed, "Master...... Am I in trouble? ”
Fu Yan drank the wine in the cup and regained his composure, "It's okay, your junior brother's family has a big business." It's a big deal, put your junior brother here, write a note, and ask Sima Villa to send the silver. ”
Sima Luming, "......"
Changsheng secretly hid the turtle behind him, but fortunately, Sanniang was busy calculating the money with the guests viciously, and didn't pay much attention to them, but just left the words to warn, "You smashed so many things on me, and when I didn't know how much I wanted you to lose, none of you were allowed to let me go." ”
Yu Bi asked the shopkeeper to lead them to the room at the back of the tavern, and also told them to keep a close watch, especially Fu Wei, afraid that he would be in debt again and disappear without a trace.
Fu Yan didn't care at all, he originally planned to stay for a few days and drink enough wine here before leaving, and he took advantage of the chaos to touch the two pots of wine in the store and hide them in his sleeves.
The shopkeeper took them to the back room, although the three mothers were spicy, the people below were quite kind. The shopkeeper told them not to have any bad ideas, saying that the house was connected to the small kitchen of the tavern, and if they wanted to run, he would definitely be able to see it. After that, he went to do his job.
Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief and put the little turtle on the table, and the turtle's head and limbs slowly stretched out of the turtle's shell and crawled slowly on the table.
Fu said, "You just want to save such a thing, and the price is really big." ”
Di Sanniang is greedy for money, and it is estimated that he will slaughter a lot of money again, but what he regrets is not those external objects, but the jars of wine that were crushed when the counter was smashed down.
He turned the turtle over, and watched it struggle on all fours, but it couldn't turn over.
Changsheng turned the turtle back, "Master, can I release it." ”
"Poria cocos stewed turtle, I don't know what it tastes like." Fu Yan muttered, stretched out his finger to tease, but the ** stretched out and almost didn't bite his finger, but fortunately, Fu Yan reacted quickly, he smiled, "It seems to understand people's words, but it is a little spiritual." That's it, everything is smashed anyway, let's release it. ”
