The affairs of outsiders have nothing to do with Hongchen, or this table of delicious food with all colors and flavors is more attractive. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Everyone was eating, and while talking a few words of gossip, even Hongchen relaxed and drank two more glasses of wine, as for Lin Xu, he was already drunk and everyone was drunk, he didn't drink a sip, and the beauty was on the side, he also wanted to get drunk.

The kitten raised by Sun Qing, the one called the milk sheep, I don't know when there is no shadow, Hongchen thought about it, and told Sun Qing to prepare two fish, less salt and less oil, and stew it, "Wait for the milk sheep to come back and give it a good year." ”

Sun Qing laughed: "Okay." ”

The proprietress of the restaurant also smiled when she heard this: "Speaking of which, Sun Qing's ability to make fish is really the best in the world, and the big fish caught by one person are more than a boatload of fishermen, and they are delicious." ”

This point is recognized, and the regular customers present have spoken out to praise it, and the restaurant is lively for a while, and there is really a bit of New Year's atmosphere.

"Meow."

As he spoke, there was a cat meow outside, followed by the sound of slow footsteps.

Sun Qing walked over with a lantern and pushed open the door, opened the curtain, and immediately said in surprise: "Granny Liu? Why are you here, it's cold outside, come in and rest. ”

As he spoke, he gently helped an old woman with snow-white hair into the door.

The proprietress was also taken aback: "You are alone?" ”

The old woman looked wooden, in a trance, as if she couldn't hear anything, Sun Qing poured her a cup of hot tea, she didn't know to drink it, or the proprietress fed her herself.

After feeding some hot tea, the gray air that was frozen out of the old woman's face finally faded a little, but the whole person still looked abnormal.

The kitten and the goat rubbed her old man's feet, barked, arched her hand, and circled around her thighs, as if she wanted to say something to her old man, but just looked like, how could a cat talk to people.

"Hey."

Sun Qing glanced at his cat, sighed, and showed a little sadness on his face, "Just in time for the Chinese New Year, Liu Cripple went, leaving such a demented old lady, let alone the New Year, how can I survive the future days." ”

This Granny Liu was widowed in her early years and had no children, but later heard that a child was dug out of the cemetery to save her, and she was accepted as a righteous son.

Since her son was abandoned by his own father, he naturally had a little problem, one leg was long and the other was short, he was born lame, but he was good-looking, and his brain was also smart.

Although he was disabled and could not participate in the imperial examination, the gentleman of the academy was still impressed by his cleverness, not only did not drive people away, but also found him a job copying books, so that he could earn some money to eat.

In recent years, Mrs. Liu is sick, people are confused, everything depends on her son to take care of, every time Liu lame goes to work, rest assured that he can't get off his mother, he goes with his mother on his back, fortunately, although the old woman is confused, she doesn't like to make trouble, and the most thing she does is to be in a daze on the side, Liu Lame only needs to say a few words to her occasionally, she is very happy, the mother and son are happy, and even outsiders feel warm when they see it.

The proprietress was very sympathetic to the old man, and she didn't want to kick people out during the New Year, so she didn't want to save trouble, so she told the shopkeeper to tidy up a guest room, and then go get some good food: "Let's see how to place her after the New Year." ”

Hongchen also gave a serious idea: "If the old woman is really alone and helpless, I think she can only go to the good hall run by the imperial court, but the good hall has been overcrowded recently, so she can go to it." ”

The Salesian Bureau of the imperial court, there are many good halls and the like, but they are still very insufficient, if you want to live in it, you really have to inspect it three or five times to see if it meets the requirements, this old man must meet the requirements, but it is not that you can go immediately if you want to go.

Hongchen didn't intend to use his power for personal gain in this regard, although the old woman was pitiful, but there were too many poor people, and those who were sheltered in the good hall couldn't survive at all on their own strength.

"Ahh

Before the bowl of porridge was finished, the old woman suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed out the door, and a strange grunt came out of her mouth, "Ahhh ”

The kitten poked its head and hid behind Sun Qing.

Sun Qing frowned, stood up and closed the door gently, after thinking about it, he closed the window again, turned his head and said softly: "It's windy, it's cold outside." ”

Sure enough, there was a cold wind blowing in outside, blowing people shivering, the old woman raised her hand, trembled slightly, stood for a long time and moved her feet to stand up, staggered and forcefully opened a crack in the door, squeezed out the door, Sun Qing moved manually, didn't catch it, and really squeezed it out.

After only a moment's work, I heard a bang, and then a rough voice scolded: "Where is the old woman, ahhhh ”

Hongchen frowned, got up and looked over, and the other guests also looked over, and at a glance, they found that it was actually Gou Dashun outside, who came out again at some point, covering his waist with one hand, and scolding in his mouth.

Opposite him stood Granny Liu, Granny Liu's body looked a little rickety, her face was still a little dazed, she stared at Gou Dashun for a long time, and said vaguely: "Gua Wazi, little stone, wait for the mother, don't run around." ”

She muttered as she walked forward slowly.

Gou Dashun raised his eyebrows angrily, and stretched out his hand to stop him, but as soon as he raised his arm, he heard a loud sound, and his arm softened with a snap, and his face turned white in an instant, and a cold sweat broke out.

Everyone in the restaurant couldn't react for a while, and the proprietress was even more startled, and rushed outside with three steps and two steps: "It's so late, Granny Liu, don't run around!" She chased a few steps, but let Sun Qing hold on, and she was also shivering by the cold wind outside.

"Stop chasing."

Sun Qing didn't explain much, just sighed, "...... Don't worry, it'll be fine. ”

The proprietress glared at him, not knowing what she thought, she didn't seem to question Sun Qing's words, and as for the other guests, they wouldn't run out to chase an old woman she didn't know on a cold day.

When a few people looked out from afar, they saw that there was a layer of mist outside on Chinese New Year's Eve, and even such a strong wind had not blown away, and there was no moonlight, and it was pitch black.

Sun Qing didn't care about Gou Dashun, who was covered in cold sweat and couldn't even speak, so painful that he couldn't even speak, he casually closed the door again, and turned around and said: "Don't leave today, I have a treat, please drink a hundred years of aging wine and eat the most delicious fish." ”

In a word, let the guests turn their attention back to it.

Hongchen stood by the window, looking into the distance, others could not see it, but she clearly saw a black thing in the distance, like a giant beast, circling around Granny Liu, the thing looked hideous and terrible at first glance, but after a closer look, it was obviously protecting Granny Liu, every time the old man stumbled, he took the opportunity to support him, if there was a hole in the ground, he would guide the old man to go around for a while.

After a while, Gou Dashun came back to his senses, looked around, and stomped his feet angrily: "What about people, what about the old woman?" ”

He didn't see anyone for a long time, his arms were still drooping, he looked around hatefully, stumbled and ran to see the doctor, and while walking, he scolded and scolded in his mouth: "Today's really his grandmother's evil door, I didn't see a dog, I didn't say anything, and I actually let an old woman bully her, really, don't let me catch that crazy woman, she is good-looking." ”

There have been so many things, but this Chinese New Year's Eve, overall, the big guys are still living very well.

Eat until dawn, Hongchen and his party went out to get in the car, ready to go back and take a comfortable bath, Luo Niang and Xiao Yan prepared new clothes early in the morning, and on the first day of the new year, they naturally had to wear new clothes.

As soon as he went out, Hongchen saw a few beggars on the side of the street, guarding an iron pot with stewed meat, a dog skin, a cat skin, and a thin big yellow dog being chained to the side.

The big yellow dog didn't even bark, and his expression was blank.

The fragrance was overflowing, and several beggars drooled, "Hehe, there is another one, this one is raised, and we will slaughter it again in two days, add some wild vegetables and mushrooms or something, that fragrant!" ”

"It's still dog meat, cat meat is not delicious."

"Let's make do with it, you can still pick a mouthful of meat."

Luo Niang and the others are not surprised, in this world now, there is no need to be too surprised to see cannibalism.

Hongchen walked two steps, didn't get into the car, took out a piece of broken silver from his purse and handed it to Luo Niang: "Go, buy the yellow dog, wait for it to take a bath, see if there is anything wrong, treat it, and send it to Zhuangzi." ”

Luo Niang smiled and responded softly.

These girls have raised so many dogs, but they didn't take eating cats and dogs seriously before, but now they have a few twists when they see it, and they don't know if they can't see it, and they really have to take care of it when they see it.

Hongchen is not good at standing on the moral high ground to accuse others, a group of beggars have been reduced to begging for a living, what is new to eat dog meat?

After a while, Luo Niang brought the dog back.

Hongchen glanced at it and sighed: "Take care of it, you can still live." ”

Luo Niang nodded, "These are just for a bite to eat, as soon as I saw the silver I gave, they gave me the dogs, hey, they saw that I pity these dogs, although they didn't think so, they also told me something, saying that it was the Cai family, because Cai Shaoqing likes to eat dog meat, and he got a lot of dogs back, and they are eaten and killed, just to eat, Cai Shaoqing also likes dog fighting, and made a dog fighting arena in his backyard, which is covered with iron thorns, and charcoal that has been burned, drive the dogs in, and let the dogs fight and bite each other, The one who won in the end came out and slaughtered it, and ate one a day, and the rest of the meat and bones were fed to the dogs. ”

"It seems that the rest of the Cai family also has all kinds of strange problems, so much so that they seem to be screaming with cats and dogs, and the old lady doesn't like other skins, but she likes cat skins, and the skins she wears are all made of cat skin."

"The youngest daughter of the family likes to take out the internal organs of those cats and dogs, pour some medicine, and then hold them in her arms and play with them."

"And his son, who also likes to eat dog meat, but the way to eat it is very fresh, and the live dog has an opening in his head, and he wants to eat brain pulp, vomit!"

She said she was a little disgusting.

Hongchen also waved her hand and asked her not to say it, such a disgusting topic really shouldn't have been heard on the first day of the New Year.

Xiao Yan frowned, and the more he listened, the more strange it became: "County Lord, I heard that Lord Cai died a miserable death, his ears were cut off, his eyeballs were gouged out, his limbs were broken, and he was disemboweled, and blood flowed all over the house, how big a hatred does this have to be?" ”

Lin Xu thought thoughtfully: "I checked the file, on the day of the accident, the entire Cai family, no one found anything abnormal, and the guards on patrol did not hear the movement, it is said that he is also a member of the imperial court, and at this time, which big man is not heavily guarded, there should not be such a strange situation, not to mention that until now, even a suspect cannot be arrested, and the government is too useless." ”

“…… Don't think about it. ”

Hongchen pushed the charcoal basin next to Lin Xu, "Go home, you have to prepare a reward when you go back." ”

The Chinese New Year, the female officials in the family have to take more rewards, and the female officials in the capital should also take large bags of gifts home to see, the rich and noble do not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night, Hongchen is not willing to attract resentment, even if the female officials will not complain, it is better to do it perfectly.

On the way back, I happened to pass by the Cai family, and the matter of the Cai family became a joke after tea and dinner for a while, and Hongchen and his party also paid a lot of attention, and they unconsciously took a look at it when they passed by.

After this glance, Hongchen stretched out his hand to cover his eyes and muttered, "I really don't know what to say." ”

There was a big monk standing at Cai's door, and he looked very familiar, and he was in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple that he had seen in the Gao family.

Gou Dashun was also at the door, but Gou Dashun was paralyzed, soft on the ground, with an embarrassed face, snot and tears.

"No, I, I went out with the sixth child last night, I went south and he went north, and he was fine when he went out, how can I say that I will die, and I will die so miserably!"

Saying that, he shivered, frightened pale, if it weren't for buying some wine to drink, he was going to go with the sixth last night, I heard that there are a few good dogs in the north of the city, raised fat and strong, they want to take the opportunity to get back and sell well, even the dog's things are ready, good medicine, a little can ensure that the dog sleeps for a day, and prepared a few meat buns and sacks, I didn't expect to spend a night, the dog didn't get into the sack, the sixth went in, and the appearance of the binding, and the original dog was tied up a virtue.

"Amitabha, where is the matter, the donor will take the poor monk to take a look." The great monk turned his head and glanced at Hongchen's carriage, with some doubt in his eyes.

Hongchen lowered the curtain and exhaled: "This thing can't be touched, it's hard to distinguish right from wrong." (To be continued.) )
