223. Sore fingers
The face of the door selling roast chicken is very old, and the door has a history of several decades, and there are two big iron pots at the door, which are full of tied chickens, and the fragrance is ten miles.
An aunt in her sixties was standing there and saw her cousin shouting, "Xiaoshun, play with your brother?" Go back and look for it. β
The cousin said, "Auntie, what about eating." β
"Eat and sit!" The treatment was immediately different, and the aunt quickly led them to an old table, wiped them with a rag of oil, and asked my cousin, "How do you eat chicken?" β
This is famous for its roast chicken, which also sells farmhouse stir-fried vegetables, but this one is most famous for its chicken.
My cousin said, "Burn two, fry one, stew half and drink soup!" β
"Okay!" The aunt immediately stretched out her head and shouted inside, "Two and a half chickens!" β
"Wait, we pick the chickens ourselves, don't fool people with the chickens!" The cousin stood up and said, and the aunt smiled: "It's all a village, your tongue is still smart!" What are you fooling you for? Go in and pick it yourself! Pick the big one! Pick the fat! β
The cousin greeted Qin Qing and Si Yuhan: "Come in, come in, choose chickens here." β
The aunt got out of the way and said, "It's dirty inside, what is the little girl doing?" β
"That's what I brought them to see." Said cousin.
The cousin took Qin Qing and the others inside.
If the front and store are old and old with traces of time, the inside is dirty and messy, and you can directly call the reporter to come over for an interview.
When I stepped through the kitchen door, I first saw two large buckets by the sink, all of which were leftovers and garbage, emitting a sour and rancid smell. Sewage was running on the ground, and the three gas stoves next to it were stir-frying, and a man in a white chef's uniform that was so black that he couldn't see it said, "Pick up the chicken and go inside." β
Out of the kitchen door, there are several large plastic basins that allow children to enter the bath, soaked in bare chickens, and the water is blood red. There was a window at the end of the wall, and there was a mechanical wheel in it, which was spinning slowly, and the chickens hanging upside down just passed, and some were still fluttering, but their necks were pulled open and bleeding, and their feet were tied upside down with straw ropes, and the fluttering only made the blood flow faster.
The rope of the mechanical wheel circled the yard, and at the end of the yard a man in his thirties was sitting on a small bench, smoking a cigarette and killing chickens.
The oil seller can let the oil pass through the square hole of the copper coin, which is called "hand familiarity", and the man's action of killing chickens can also be called "hand familiar".
I saw that he was holding a knife in one hand and a chicken in the other, and it seemed that when he was catching a chicken, he grabbed the feathers and skin on the back of the chicken's neck, tightened it, and sent it to the blade.
Qin Qing was stunned, and Si Yuhan whispered to her, "I heard that he can kill forty chickens in one minute." β
Before seeing it, Qin Qing definitely didn't believe it, but after seeing it with her own eyes, she believed it, because this man's action of cutting the chicken's neck was too skilled and fast, it was just a blink of an eye.
The cousin took them over and walked through the yard, Qin Qing saw that there was a sink around the yard for chicken blood, and the chickens went around this circle, basically putting the blood almost the same, this design was still very good.
"Uncle." My cousin was so obedient that he called someone.
The man glanced at him and raised his chin: "Go over there and pick it." β
Qin Qing saw more than a dozen bamboo cages behind the man, all of which were chickens shrunk like quails with wings and feet tied, more than a dozen cages of live chickens, but there was no sound at all.
Cousin looked at Qin Qing with a look on his faceβfrightened, right?
Qin Qing stared at the knife in the man's hand and shook his head at his cousin.
My cousin came over and whispered, "Don't like this knife?" β
"It's a new knife." Qin Qing whispered.
The cousin asked the man with a confused face: "Uncle, how many years have you used this knife?" β
The man said casually, "Seven or eight years." β
The cousin immediately looked back at Qin Qing: Seven or eight years is not enough?
Qin Qing didn't know when he was fooled like this, and walked over.
The man raised his head and saw Qin Qing, unconsciously took down the cigarette and threw it on the ground, at this time he was looking at their group, he looked around and asked Qin Qing: "Is there something?" β
My cousin's eyes widened, what's going on?
The man asked, "Are you here for something?" "I'm not here to eat anyway.
Qin Qing saw that the man saw it, and asked, "Master, has your family used a chicken killing knife for decades?" β
The man swept them around one by one, put down the knife, stood up and shouted into the kitchen, "I'll rest for a while!" β
Then take them backwards.
Behind it is the place to live, a square concrete house, three stories high.
The man led them in, and two fat yellow dogs came wagging their tails.
"Go, go." The man kicked the dog out, pointed to the couch and bed full of clothes, and said, "Sit as you like." β
My cousin sat down and said, "Uncle, what are you bringing us here for?" I also ordered food from my aunt. β
"Let your aunt bring it to you." The man brought three bottles of drink, put them on the coffee table, sat down and sighed, and said, "As soon as I look at it, I know that you have a purpose." β
"Uncle is really clever." My cousin rolled his eyes, "What's the purpose?" It's about eating! β
The man pointed at him: "You still want to hide from me with that little little bit of caution?" For the knife, right? β
The cousin had an insulted expression on his face: "Uncle, you're boring like this!" I can't come to your house for a meal yet? β
The man didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned his head and asked Qin Qing: "You say, are you here for the knife?" β
Qin Qing nodded: "Yes." Do you have a chicken knife in your house for decades? β
The man raised his two hands: "Chickens that have been killed for eighty-nine years!" β
Qin Qing asked, "What about the knife?" β
The man spread his hands, "Don't dare to use it, you can't use it!" β
The man's grandfather was an apprentice when he was a child, and he got up before dawn every day to boil water, kill chickens, and pluck feathers. He doesn't remember his parents and family, who were sold to the owner of a roast chicken shop.
Later, after years of war, the shopkeeper died, so he went back to the village and opened a roast chicken shop by himself.
At first, all the things he used were brought back from the owner's shop, such as a case, an iron pot, a stove, and a knife to kill chickens.
This knife is also said to have been passed down from the owner's family for many years. The man's grandfather used this knife to kill chickens, it is said that it used to be a scene in front of the store, in order to make the guests look rare, the grandfather killed in front of the store, and the live chickens were killed, which was a gimmick, and the store became famous.
The man's father also helped to carry hot water to scald chicken feathers before the table was high, and when he was eight years old, he began to kill chickens with a knife until he entered the hospital.
However, the man's father and grandfather all died of cancer, and when they died, they rolled in bed and their teeth could be bitten and broken. Especially the man's grandfather, the anesthetic was very strict at that time, and the family secretly got him a local medicine for him to eat, in fact, it was a crude big tobacco ointment, this kind of medicine is particularly difficult to buy, and he was afraid of being checked, in order to buy medicine, the family store almost went out.
Because if he didn't give his grandfather medicine, his grandfather would be able to bang his head against the wall in pain and cry tearfully and shout "let me die". The whole family cried together when they heard this. The man remembers that when he was a child, he heard his father scold the township for sweeping the big tobacco ointment too cleanly, otherwise there were many tobacco houses in the past, and this medicine was not so difficult to buy at all.
After the man's father also had cancer, he remembered his father's tragic condition, so he refused to treat the disease, and said that in the end, he began to hurt, and he hanged himself and jumped off the building to drink medicine, and he would never suffer that crime.
He did what he said, he didn't go to the hospital alive or dead, he bought local medicine to relieve the pain when he was in pain, and he had to kill chickens when he was so thin that he weighed only 60 pounds, and finally he was carried into the hospital by a man, and he was gone in less than a week after entering.
Both generations died of illness, and there were rumors in the village, saying that the family killed too many chickens and made ill-gotten gains, so that the man's father and ancestors could not die well.
The man was somewhat convinced, so he wanted to close the shop.
But how will you live after the store closes? He first bought a car and wanted to do freight transportation, which is said to be very simple, and he can make money by driving. As a result, everyone else earns, he loses, every trip out can meet the car check, sometimes a road can block people three or four times, and the profit is not enough to lose; In addition to this, there are also encounters where the owner of the goods does not give money, the goods of the owner are checked, the public security is detained, and the creditor is robbed, etc.
In those years, their family's luck was so bad that they couldn't do anything like a moldy god living in the house. The family's money also quickly bottomed out, and they still owed foreign debts.
From having a shop at home to living in debt with the whole family, this gap is not small. The man wants to open a roast chicken shop again, and some people still remember their roast chicken, no matter how good the roast chicken in other places is, there are still customers who ate a few years ago, more than ten years ago, or even decades ago to come to the door: "The roast chicken shop in your village, the one that used to open a shop here, the one without a name, where did it move?" β
After discussing with his family, the man opened the shop again, but instead of buying live chickens to kill, he wholesaled the dried chickens from the chicken farm.
He felt that this would be fine, and there would be nothing wrong with the family not killing chickens.
However, at first, it was okay, and the customers came, but slowly, the business in the store was not good. The people who came from afar to eat said, "It's not that smell." β
The money to open the store was borrowed, and people borrowed it when they saw him open a roast chicken shop, and when he saw the store, he was going to die, this is a loan shark! It's not going to cost the whole family's life!
The man had no choice but to try to change to a live chicken.
As a result, business really turned around.
After making money and paying off debts, the man began to worry about his life. But the money flowed into his home every day, so he had to open a store, so he specially invited a master to find a way for him.
The master gave him an idea: seal the knife.
First of all, the family rebuilds the house, and pays attention to the direction, size, where the door is opened, and how many windows are opened;
Then, the knife that killed the chickens in the store was no longer used, and because the knife had a bad smell, it had to be washed at home;
Finally, there is a fixed number of chickens that can be killed every day, and they cannot be killed indiscriminately.
When the master came up with an idea, the man did it. But I still muttered in my heart, always worried that it would be okay if I didn't use the original knife? And washing, can it really be washed off?
After listening to the book from heaven, my cousin said, "Uncle, I haven't heard you mention it before." β
The man glared at him, "Can I still yell every day?" β
Cousin said in his heart, then why did you say it today?
The man didn't care about him, looked at Qin Qing.
It may be that he has killed too many chickens, and sometimes he also thinks that whether he sees a person or a dog, whether it is fierce or not, he can see it at a glance. The three people who came in today, just this little girl, stood there, and made him shiver.
After listening to this, Qin Qing also muttered, don't say anything else if it makes sense, at least it doesn't sound like a big problem.
Washing?
It's a novelty.
She asked the man with an open mind to learn: "Master, how is this evil washed?" β
The man frowned, "You come with me." β
He took Qin Qing up to the second floor and entered a bedroom full of toys on the floor.
It's a kid's room. The bookcase is colorful, the wardrobe is butterfly-shaped, and the bed is a seven-star ladybug.
It's a boy, and he's not very old.
The man lifted the mattress, lifted the bed board, stepped into the bed box, and took out a sack that was tightly wrapped in several layers from inside, and untied it layer by layer, revealing the knife inside.
"How can you put it here?!" Qin Qing exclaimed.
Si Yuhan and her cousin also followed, and the three of them looked at the man in disbelief.
The man stomped his foot: "Not really! This knife is under my child's bed! I can't sleep every night!! β
Si Yuhan reflexively asked Qin Qing: "This can be washed away?!" β
"Haven't heard of it!!" Qin Qing said categorically!
My cousin used his brains and asked, "Uncle, is Xiaobei's birthday a little special?" β
That's right, Si Yuhan felt that it made sense, so he went to see Qin Qing.
Qin Qing thought about it, but still shook his head: "Even if this kid is special, let him press a knife that has been around for decades?" Still not right! "If it really works, even if it is washed away, this child's life will be gone. And, wash away with a human life? It's pretty much the same!
Thinking of this, Qin Qing broke out in a cold sweat. She stepped forward to look at the knife, and the man quickly got out of the way and let her look at it casually!
She dismantled all the sacks, and the man was probably afraid of harming the child, so he wrapped more than a dozen layers of sacks and wrapped them tightly. Originally, I took out a sample of 1.34 meters, but after dismantling it, I found that the handle of the knife was actually about 40 centimeters, which was about the same width as a 14-inch laptop.
The knife is indeed an old knife, but it is not an antique. Ordinary steel knives with wooden handles, handles wrapped around cow belts, all of them are gripped out of oil, the steel knives have thick backs and thin blades, and the color is uneven. Qin Qing counted it, there were nine layers.
"How many times has this knife been repaired?" She was starting to feel that something was wrong.
"This ...... It's been a long time, and there are always seven or eight times. The man said.
It's nine times.
Qin Qing gently greeted the blade with his fingers, and the cold air invaded his bones before he touched it.
What a fierce knife.
But although this knife is fierce, it is not fierce.
Qin Qing's hand slowly exuded a little qi, but the aura of the knife was not chaotic at all.
It's a good knife. In other words, the knife is not evil.
So this knife shouldn't hurt anyone.
Qin Qing took the knife and got up, and the man immediately became three points shorter. She looked at the man and was very afraid of the knife.
"Sell me this knife." She said, "You make an offer." β
The man said, "Do you really want it?" There are 90,000 chickens killed by this knife, if not 100,000, but also 90,000, very fierce! If you want to be killed, I'm not responsible! β
Qin Qing said: "I want a murderous knife, and I don't want it if it's not fierce." You make an offer, I'll take it. The silver and goods are clear, and you will never let your family get the cause and effect of this knife again. You don't have to worry about the knife hurting you. β
The man hesitated for a moment, and then wanted to make some money again, and said: "This knife has been around for many years, I know that if you buy a murder knife, it must be useful, and I won't ask you for more ......."
Si Yuhan quietly poked her cousin beside her.
The cousin said: "Uncle, my sister said that after she bought the knife and left, your family will not be involved in cause and effect!" Causally! He frowned.
Only then did the man come to his senses, and he didn't dare to ask for more, he was afraid that he would ask for more, and what should he do if he got involved in cause and effect?
"That'...... Then ...... Fixed price! Ten thousand! The man also thought about selling the knife before, he heard that everything in the past few years was worth a lot, but he took the knife to sell it but was laughed back, saying that he was poor and crazy, a broken knife, no one asked for a hundred yuan, and the price of 10,000 yuan was the "sky-high price" that he had the courage to offer, and he was ready to let Qin Qing bargain.
Qin Qing opened his mouth: "Good ......"
"We don't want it so expensive!" Cousin grabs the talk! Give Qin Qing a look.
The man breathed a sigh of relief, "Nine thousand ...... minimum Nine! No matter how low it is, it won't be sold! β
"It's a hundred cheaper! You're too dark! The cousin had to bargain again, Qin Qing nodded, "Nine thousand nine, this price is good." "It's better than ten thousand, ten thousand is too full, nine thousand nine is a little worse, just right. She was afraid that the price would change again, so she took out her mobile phone and said, "Is it okay to transfer money by Alipay?" β
The man said, "Yes, WeChat is fine." "In business, the more means of payment, the wider the financial channels.
Qin Qing turned nine thousand nine to the man and took the knife. The man casually picked up a child's β‘β‘ box on the ground and put it on her, and his heart was light.
Finally give away this bad knife! He was going to give it to the master, but the master didn't want it!
Qin Qing touched the knife, listened to the man's complaints, and wanted to open his mouth and closed it again.
She didn't think that the master wanted to, probably because she wanted to raise a knife in this house. I'm afraid that in a few years, it will be time to "collect" the knife. Because looking at this man's appearance, he also wished to send this knife out of the door.
The man sent the three of them out, Qin Qing was satisfied and ready to leave, and his cousin Da Ma Jindao sat down in the store and said, "Why is this dish still not served!" β
Si Yuhan also sat down and pulled Qin Qing: "After eating, let's leave, let him send us." β
Qin Qing: "...... I want to leave early. "Professor Shi is still waiting for this knife over there.
Si Yuhan whispered, "No car." The bus doesn't come until an hour later, and I've looked at my phone. Eat for up to half an hour, and let him deliver it after eating. "Referring to her cousin.
The aunt who greeted them had just loaded ten chickens for the guests who came by car, and came back and said, "How can you serve the food if you don't come back?" Isn't it cold when served? I've been putting you on fire! Hurry up and finish eating and fuck me off! As he spoke, the man brought them the food, "Eat, eat, don't have to pay!" β
"Why don't you have to pay for it?" The aunt was just about to get angry, the man grabbed her and said a few words, she glanced at Qin Qing, and suddenly said with a particularly bright smile: "What does the sister eat?" Rice, noodles, and flatbread are all available! β
Qin Qing: "......"
To be honest, my stomach was already hungry.
It only took fifteen minutes to finish eating, and my stomach was too eager to eat.
After eating, Si Yuhan urged his cousin to borrow a licensed car and then borrow a certificate to send them back, Qin Qing hesitated for a moment and persuaded the man to go to the hospital to check his body, but she said it differently: "After I take the knife away, you shouldn't be sick anymore - even if you are sick, you can be cured." If a tumor is found, it is definitely not malignant, but benign. You go to the hospital and see if I'm right. β
Such a magic stick, the man was still hesitating, and the aunt had already pushed him and said, "Go and see!" Check it out! If it's good, cut it early! β
"I don't have it yet!" The man gets angry.
"Just go and see!" Auntie also shouted.
In the end, the man decided to go to the hospital, but he really had a tumor in his stomach, and the doctor cut it for him after the laparotomy, and it was benign after the biopsy. The man remembered Qin Qing's words, treated with confidence, cooperated with the doctor to take medicine according to the doctor's instructions, and recovered in less than half a year, and there was no recurrence after three years, which became a successful case of early detection and early treatment in the hospital. The man heard from the doctor that he was very lucky and that it was rare for him to recover well, and whispered to his wife: "Everyone has said it, I must be fine!" Look, it's all right, right? β
Here, Qin Qing saw that these two were arguing, so he hurriedly persuaded him, and Si Yuhan also persuaded him, and said to the man: "Auntie is also for your good." Then he said to his aunt, "Don't worry. Then he said to the man, "You see that Auntie is in a hurry, hurry up and persuade her." β
The man pushed the aunt, "What are you yelling about?" β
Si Yuhan's eyes widened, this is called persuasion?!
Qin Qing saw that something was wrong, and said in a low voice, "They ...... Is it mother and son? β
Si Yuhan hurriedly whispered: "It's husband and wife!" β
Qin Qing's eyes also widened, the aunt looked like she was in her sixties, and the man looked like he was only in his thirties!
Si Yuhan added in a low voice: "I remember this shop, the woman is four years younger than the man." β
It's a generation away!
The "husband and wife" no longer quarreled, the man went back to kill the chicken, and the woman continued to sell roast chicken, order, serve dishes, clean up the table, and collect money with a smile.
No wonder it looks a generation behind, it's too tiring.
My cousin borrowed an elderly electric moped, which does not require a license plate or a license plate. Qin Qing and Si Yuhan were worried that the car would not be able to run back and forth, and the cousin was not worried that he would not be able to return home at night, and was elated: "After I send you back, I just went to the Internet cafΓ© to charter a night!" β
Si Yuhan understood, and whispered to Qin Qing: "The head of the network cable is in my uncle's house, and my uncle pulled out the money as soon as he went to bed at night and didn't let him go." β
No wonder it's jubilant like a chicken out of the cage.
Qin Qing and Si Yuhan arrived at the school gate and saw their cousin running to the Internet cafΓ© impatiently, and the two also broke up. Qin Qing still has to go to the hospital.
In the hospital, Professor Shi is still the same. What she looked like when she left in the morning, and what he looks like when she comes back now. The master looked tired, and when she saw Qin Qing coming, she said, "Why are you here again?" Have you just gone back to bed? Seeing that your eyes are so heavy, you must not have slept. Go back and go to bed early tonight. β
"How's the professor?"
The lady poured water and took fruit for her, and said, "It's good, the body temperature has not risen, but he has not woken up and is sleeping, and the doctor said that if he does not wake up at night, he will be given a gastric tube, and he can't stop eating all the time, he should have stomach problems, and he is afraid that he will have gastritis." β
In the morning, two young teachers came, and their parents were afraid that they would not take good care of Professor Shi, so they kept stopping them, but the two of them said that they would help them clean the house, wash Professor Shi's clothes, and buy vegetables, but they didn't let them run back and forth.
This is also very good, and my wife said, "I will save trouble, write a list for them, and see if I can buy any vegetables for me." She looked at the time and it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and she said, "Qingqing, if you don't leave, can you watch here for a while, and I'll go back to cook." β
"Yes, yes!" Qin Qing was worried about how to take out the knife!
After the master and wife left, Qin Qing deliberately went to the nurse's station first to ask when the next temperature was measured, and the nurse said that it was an hour later, and she had just taken it before she came. And Professor Shi's water still has three hours to hang up!
Qin Qing went back to the ward to lock the door, took out three sticky hooks and glued them to the wall in the center of Professor Shi's head, then took out the knife, tied it with a cotton rope, and hung it on the sticky hook.
Hanging knife at the neck.
Rushing down the blade and hanging it above your head is meant to be a guillotine.
This knife is a fierce blade, hammered nine times, and in the right position, the boy is under the body, hidden for several years, once it appears, it is the time to show its fierceness!
It was born unsheathed -- a kitchen knife, and nothing could hold its blade anymore.
Qin Qing was originally standing beside Professor Shi's bed, and he couldn't stand it for a while, standing in the sun under the window. If the qiΔ in front of you can be materialized, you can see that the shadow of the murder knife has taken up the entire room.
And no matter how powerful Shi Liantai's evil qi is, it has no blade.
For Qin Qing, that is the evil spirit of Shiliantai? Find a more fierce one and scare you away!
One mountain can't tolerate two tigers.
Where she is, no second ghost dares to come close.
Where there is this sword, all evil will flee.
Dai Yusheng saw a huge black hole appear in the sky, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be the end of the sky, and the dark clouds rolled into a huge whirlpool, and under the agitation, the clouds dispersed, and the wind just now suddenly disappeared like a fake.
The sky gradually cleared, although it was still cloudy, and the sun did not come out, but there were no clouds anymore.
Dai Yusheng breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the student is more reliable than the student.
"It's only windy and not rainy, blame the weather!" Shi Wuwei said next to him, he just saw that the sky had changed and he came over curiously.
Dai Yusheng looked at him gloomily: "...... Are you done copying? β
Shi Wuwei: "Copy ...... I'm done. β
Dai Yusheng took out a book from the podium and slapped it on his desk: "Keep copying." β
Shi Wuwei: TAT
"Professor! Are you awake? Qin Qing shouted in surprise, and immediately reached out and rang the nurse's bell to notify the doctor!
In less than an hour, just forty-five minutes, the professor woke up!
Shi Wuwei opened his eyes blankly, he still couldn't react, he felt that his fingers, especially the fingers holding the pen, were sore and sore.
