329. There is soot in the rice
The meat in the dish was so badly cooked that I couldn't tell or smell what it was, but it was certain that it was fresh meat.
There are no chickens, ducks and geese in the yard, so where does this meat come from?
Huang Yu only remembered that Cuicui let herself go out to scoop water, and when she came back, something had already been cooked in the pot.
Cuicui saw that Huang Yu always nibbled on dry food and didn't eat a bite of food, and asked, "Cousin, is she not used to eating here?" ”
As he spoke, he bent down and took out a black object from the basket covered with floral cloth at the foot of the table and handed it over.
"Cousin, don't just eat dry food, try the jujube cake made by my mother, it's delicious."
The jujube cake is cut into a rectangular shape, the size of a palm, and it is densely sprinkled with white sesame seeds, and you can see large pieces of red dates from the side, and you can smell the honey.
Huang Yu thanked him and took the jujube cake.
The old woman's eyes instantly focused when she saw the jujube cake, and she hurriedly knocked on the bowl with chopsticks and shouted, almost lifting the table.
It seems that he doesn't want Huang Yu to eat jujube cake.
The old man also looked at the jujube cake in Huang Yu's hand and gave her an expression of wanting to say something.
Huang Yu muttered a little in his heart.
"Mother-in-law, do you want to eat this?" Huang Yu handed the jujube cake to the old woman, as a fairy, she didn't have to eat, and she had eaten a dry food just now, and now she can't eat such a big thing.
Cuicui raised her hand to stop, "It's okay, it's okay, cousin, you can eat it, my mother doesn't eat sweet, she just wants to see me eat, it's okay." ”
Huang Yu broke the jujube cake in half and handed it to Cuicui in half.
"Half of us, don't let the old woman worry."
The old woman snatched it from Huang Yu's hand, kicked it into her arms and handed it to Cuicui.
In the process of grabbing it, a lot of scraps fell from the jujube cake, black, red and white.
Huang Yu withdrew his hand suspiciously, looked at the carbon ash in his hand, twisted it with his fingers, and a black carbon stain appeared on his hand, exuding an unpleasant smell of blood, and his heart became more and more awkward.
Huang Yu looked down at the other half of the jujube cake in his hand again.
But I was surprised to find that there was a lot of pitch-black carbon ash mixed in the jujube cake, the carbon ash flashed black and red, and there were many corpses of insects like white sesame seeds.
Huang Yu instantly felt a churn in his stomach.
And Cuicui ate it with relish.
Huang Yu thought, maybe the old woman had bad eyes, and she accidentally put the carbon ash ginseng into it when she was making jujube cake, and the insects were ...... I also accidentally fell into it.
But there are too many soot and insects, as if they are specially mixed bun filling, wrapped in the skin of "jujube cake".
What's more, this is not a bun, there is no need for filling, and this carbon ash is even more unreasonable.
Huang Yu couldn't help but ask: "Cuicui, this jujube cake has a lot of filling." ”
"yes, it's fine." Cuicui was clearly unimpressed: "This year's harvest is not good, there is little food, you can only participate in these to fill your stomach, carbon ash can help digestion, insects are clean, you can eat, it's okay, my mother said, it's not clean, it's not sick if you eat it." ”
"That'...... Can you eat it for hair? Huang Yu pulled out a clump of long black hair from the jujube cake.
If this thing gets into the stomach, it must not spoil the intestines.
"That's it." Cuicui glanced at it and said lightly: "It's okay, my mother's eyes are not good to put it in, just pick it out when you eat." ”
After saying this, he directly stuffed the jujube cake in his hand into his mouth, wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, and wiped his face with black carbon ash.
Cuicui looked at the back of her hand, didn't care, picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat.
Huang Yu pursed his lips and couldn't help but ask again: "Cuicui, why do I smell that there is still blood in here." ”
Cuicui didn't deny it, swallowed the porridge in her mouth, and replied: "Yes, there used to be a black dog in my family, and when he died of old age, he was stewed and eaten by my family." My mother thought it was a waste of black dog blood, so she kept it and put it in it. It's okay, you can eat it, not all chicken blood and duck blood can be eaten, what's wrong with dog blood? ”
Suddenly, the old man snatched the jujube cake in Huang Yu's hand, stuffed it directly into his mouth, swallowed it with a wolf, rolled out his choked eyes, and drank several sips of water before he recovered.
Huang Yu put down the water cup and asked the old man if he was better, the old man didn't say anything, picked up the bowl and continued to eat, and quickly finished eating and walked out.
If it weren't for the old man's action, the dark Qi who was dormant in the shadows almost rushed over.
Huang Yu may not know about superstitions in the world, but as the river keeper of the Lechuan River for so many years, he has long been aware of these things.
Ash has the effect of repelling ghosts.
After the things of the sun are burned into embers, they only change their shape, and their essence still accumulates in the ashes, and in some places there is a custom of smearing pot ash on the tip of the child's nose, which is also to suppress evil spirits and chase away ghosts. In some places, there is an ash scattering activity, and in the dead of night, the ashes are painted on the road, making a bow and arrow shape, in order to shoot the calamity.
Everything related to the ashes to suppress evil spirits and chase away ghosts is for external use, and Shen Qi has never seen anyone eat incense ashes in order to ward off evil spirits.
Even if it could, it would be nothing for mortals to eat some soot, but it would be a big deal to have diarrhea or vomit.
But God can't.
The ashes contain souls, and the most important thing for a god is that the six gods are pure and avoid killing.
If a god eats a soul, it is equivalent to killing a living creature in the yang world, because the physique of a god is special, and a living creature that is eaten cannot be reincarnated, which is a great sin in the divine realm.
Not to mention what the guilt is, but just to talk about it, it is also very harmful to God's body.
When a living thing turns into ashes, it is dead, and even if it has a soul when it dies, it is the soul of a dead thing, and in layman's terms, it is a ghost.
If God eats it, it is equivalent to eating the soul of the little ghost, and the little ghost will summon a bigger ghost, and when the evil ghost is summoned one day, the consequences will be unimaginable.
And then the black dog's blood......
Cuicui looked at the old man's back and snorted coldly: "My father can't listen to the black dog, he said that the dog has been with him for so many years, and it has become his family, and the dog will die as soon as I come back." He always thought that I killed the black dog, I was idle, why did I kill that thing, so unlucky. ”
Huang Yu nodded and didn't ask more.
This time, Cuicui explained herself, "Cousin, do you know what black dog blood is for? ”
Huang Yu shook his head.
Black dog blood, it sounds cruel and disgusting, and Huang Yu doesn't really want to talk about this kind of thing during dinner.
"Black dog blood can not only break ghosts, but also break all kinds of spells." After Cuicui finished speaking, she squinted and smiled at Huang Yu to see how she reacted.
Huang Yu looked back at Cuicui with a smile, his eyes did not dodge, "There is also this use, I really don't know." ”
"Ghosts are born from yin, and the opposite of yin is rooster blood and black dog blood, which can greatly discharge the yin energy of ghosts."
When Cuicui said the ghost word, a cold wind blew, blowing the bean-sized candlelight to death.
Cuicui looked at Huang Yu coldly, the old woman lowered her head to eat the rice in the bowl, and the sound of snorting made the surroundings more and more silent.
It was as if this house was an isolated island in the sun, and there was only one living creature in it.
Shen Qi's eyes looked at Huang Yu without blinking, enveloping her in her own protection. This woman named Cuicui is very eccentric, and she seems to be popular and ghostly.
More precisely, it is the breath between man and ghost. Even he can't tell the difference, so it can be seen that he is not an ordinary ghost.
Cuicui dipped her fingers in some water and wrote the word "dog" on the table as she spoke. "Dogs, many people raise them because they keep their homes and are loyal, but they don't know that dogs can not only keep their homes, but also drive away ghosts, and the twelve earthly branches and five elements corresponding to dogs are the earth, which is also the yang soil, and it is the animal of the yang, they can see the things in the underworld, and they can also suppress the things in the underworld."
Huang Yu suddenly remembered that the old man said that when Cuicui knocked on the door, the family dog didn't bark.
But Cuicui's statement includes the saying "the dog barks at the door, but the old man doesn't hear it".
It just so happened that this dog was a black dog.
There must be someone who is lying, and now Huang Yu is a little suspicious, who is the ghost.
Or, both are ghosts.
"Among them, the boy black dog is the most pure congenital yang, with yang to control yin, since ancient times, Taoist priests have taken the blood of black dogs to drive away evil spirits. Cousin, have you ever had a dog? Cuicui asked suddenly.
"I've raised," Huang Yu didn't even want to answer directly, and he was stunned after saying it.
She subconsciously knew that she had a dog, but it felt like a previous life, and this life suddenly remembered it, and it felt a little unreal.
"Oh? What kind of dog? Cuicui asked.
Huang Yu gestured with his hand, "I have raised a very big dog, bigger than a table, called...... It's called a hairball. ”
Yes, it's called a hairball.
But how the hairball came about, whether it was bought or given to her, why it didn't come to her, she can't remember.
Cuicui asked Huang Yu that sentence was also improvised, she didn't care what kind of dog Huang Yu raised, and then said her own after asking, but she didn't know, this question, asked two people.
One is Huang Yu, and the other is Shen Qi.
Ming Qi's eyes lit up when she heard the familiar name, Huang Yu actually remembered the hairball, she remembered the hairball! That is, she remembers things in the world.
But why doesn't she remember herself, not their children...... When she looked at him with the eyes of a stranger, he felt like his heart was bleeding.
Si Ming prophesied that the two of them together would most likely lead to the demise of the goddess, and it was better not to remember, at least it would be safe for her.
The bitterness of the smile.
Cuicui said in a non-wavering voice: "Dog blood can be used as a thing in the yang world to destroy the yin qi of the spirit, and it works very well
, ordinary ghost things will greatly reduce their power when they encounter black dog blood, and those with slightly weaker yin qi will be forced to reveal their original form.
"If you want to ward off evil spirits, you can directly use black dog blood to dot a mole in the center of your eyebrows, you can splash black dog blood on the ground, or you can use a brush to dip in blood, and draw a circle under your bed, which has the effect of warding off evil spirits and has a good effect. Oh yes, that's what my mother did, she splashed black dog blood on the floor and on the head of the bed, just to prevent me. ”
"You ......" Huang Yu's eyes widened, looking at Cuicui in disbelief.
Cuicui wiped the dog words on the table with her fingers, looked at Huang Yu's eyes, and asked word by word: "Cousin, do you believe that I am a ghost?" ”
This is a proposition.
The answer is not what Huang Yu wants to say, but what Cui Cui wants to hear.
Definitely can't say "believe", Cuicui ate the black dog's blood in front of her, and told her this, just to prove that she is not a ghost. So "believing" is certainly not the answer Cuicui wants to hear.
It's not okay to just say you don't believe it. Because the place here is full of weirdness, Cuicui itself is full of weirdness, it's too fake to say if you don't believe it, what she wants to do is not only to let Cuicui relax her vigilance against her, but also to get Cuicui's trust.
She wants Cuicui to know that even if you are a ghost, I am willing to stand by your side.
