Chapter 56: Heigu (6)
"You robbers, I'll fight with you!" The young man with the rod rushed to the crowd and raised his rod and struck it.
Everyone didn't know what was going on and avoided it.
"Mingxi, what are you doing here? I'm your sister Heigu! At this moment, the black girl ran over and shouted at the young man with the stick.
"Sister, why are you?"
When the young man heard Heigu's shout, he immediately recognized Heigu, he put away the stick in his hand, and walked to Heigu.
"It's me. Are you crazy? How do you hit people when you see them? What about mom and dad? ”
Hei Gu saw that except for her younger brother Mingxi, there was no shadow of her father and mother in the courtyard, and she suddenly felt a little puzzled.
"Sister, I'll tell you more about it when I enter the house. They......? ”
The young man called Mingxi by Heigu looked at the people around Heigu suspiciously.
"They are...... Sister's friend. Oh, don't ask, let's get everyone inside. Hei Gu urged.
"Please sit in the room!" Myeong-seok said to everyone with some embarrassment.
Everyone walked into the house. The small room was immediately full.
Heigu invited Luo Shiyin, Xiu Neng and Li Ruzhu to sit on the only three chairs in the room.
"What the hell is going on?"
There was still no face of her parents in the house, and Hei Gu was a little anxious, thinking of her brother's abnormal behavior in the yard just now, she had a sense of foreboding.
"Sister, that's the case. A few days ago, a group of bandits came down from the Dulong Peak behind this mountain, all of them armed with weapons, and came to the village with fierce gods, and demanded that the people of the village pay them all those who fish in the Guna River.
"They send people to the river every day to keep an eye on them. No, this morning I went fishing in the river, and as soon as I came ashore, a little minion sent by a bandit to collect a fee. I was busy all morning, my body was a little tired, I was in a bad mood, and the guy was arrogant, so we quarreled at that time.
"In a fit of rage, I beat the guy up. As he was leaving, he put down his words and said, "This is not over." When I got home, I calmed down and realized that something was serious. In order to avoid my parents worrying and being implicated, I lied to them, saying that a few of my friends outside the mountain were going to come to live and play at home for a while, and the room at home was small, and I hoped that the second elder would go to the second uncle's house to live for a while.
"My father and mother agreed to my request, and I sent them to my second uncle's house on the other side of the mountain, where I took refuge for the time being, and said that I would pick them up after my friend left.
"No, not long after I came back from my second uncle's house, I saw a large group of you walking towards home with weapons in hand. I thought it was a bandit coming to seek revenge. So he rushed out with a stick. After Mingxi finished speaking, he lowered his head in embarrassment.
"You kid, why don't you tell your sister about such a big disaster?" After listening to her brother's story, Heigu seemed a little anxious.
"Didn't my brother just break his waist, I don't want to make trouble with you at this time." Myeong-seok said with some grievances.
"But how can you bear such a big disaster!"
"Why can't you bear it, it's a big deal to fight and die in the net." Ming Xi raised his neck, showing that he was not afraid of heaven and earth.
"Okay, okay, you carry it, you lose your life, what do you still rely on?" Seeing that his younger brother was talking back to him, Heigu's anger came up. She sat on the edge of the bed in anger and ignored her brother.
"Heigu, don't be angry yet, since the matter has happened, let's find a way to solve it." Hugh can persuade the black girl.
"Yes, since we have encountered this matter, we cannot stand idly by." Luo Shiyin comforted Heigu.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, Heigu, dissipate the anger, let's think of a way together." Shi Lang also came over to comfort Heigu.
"You have to pay for fishing in the river, is this Guna River theirs? This is also too overbearing! Ye Ruliu's uneven energy began to come up.
"That's it, I'm a pair of iron and iron, and I love to fight those who like to be kings and hegemons and are unreasonable. Grandma's, a few little thieves, and they can't do it. Shi Tianji also felt a little indignant.
"Doesn't the local government care?" Li Ruzhu asked Mingxi.
"Official? When you mention the government, it makes people even more angry. The local government has long been in vain, how can they control this group of wolf-like bandits? If you can't get the errand boys in the official mansion, you have long been in cahoots with these bandits. Ming Xi said with a red face.
"Okay, let's not mention this annoying thing. After a day's journey, let's sit down and rest for a while, and I'll prepare dinner for everyone. Mingxi, where did you put the fish you caught today? ”
Hei Gu had a fire in her heart, and she didn't want to show her unhappiness too much in front of everyone, so she didn't mention it anymore, she got up, and went to make dinner for everyone.
"It's all in the vat in the yard." Seeing his sister asking himself, Myeong-seok hurriedly replied.
Hei Gu, Ye Ruliu and Ming Xi walked out of the room and went to the kitchen to make dinner for everyone.
By the time Heigu finished working in the kitchen, it was already dark.
The dinner was very sumptuous, and it was a whole fish feast made by Heigu herself.
The whole fish feast mentioned by Heigu is actually made by various methods, and the meals with silver swordfish as the main raw material include steamed silver swordfish, spicy silver swordfish, scrambled eggs with silver swordfish, dry fried small silver swordfish, fried silver swordfish with pepper, etc.
Due to the large number of people, there was no room for everyone in the room. So, everyone simply put all the meals in the open space in the courtyard.
Everyone gathers around, lights candles, and enjoys the delicious game in the mountains.
"Uh-huh, it's delicious, it's delicious. This is the first time in my life that I have eaten such a delicious whole fish feast. Shi Tianji shook off his cheeks and gulped down the food cooked by Heigu, full of praise.
"Lao Shi, you eat slowly, be careful not to let the fish bones get stuck. And no one is robbing you. Looking at Shi Tianji's super appetite, Xie Yuan was a little envious, jealous and hateful.
Xie Yuan's body is weak, he usually eats less, and the tiredness of running around for days makes him lose his appetite.
"Fish bones stuck? Hey, I've lived most of my life, and I haven't let a fish bone get stuck. I said that the water snake waist, this eating fish, there is a skill. You have to start with the back of the fish, which is thick and has no bones. You see, that's it......"
Shi Tianji said, picked up the silver swordfish that was larger for a day, and brought it to his mouth to demonstrate for Xie Yuan.
"How do you eat the meat on the belly of this fish?" Xie Yuan actually didn't like to eat fish, and when he saw that Shi Tianji was eating to his heart's content, he echoed.
"There are more spines on the belly of the fish, so you have to follow the direction of the bones on the belly and pull it down, and the meat will be separated from the bones. You see, that's it...... Ouch...... Broken, stuck...... Ahem, ahem......"
Shi Tianji was careless, a fish bone was stuck in his throat, and he painfully put down the uneaten fish in his hand and coughed vigorously.
"Haha, Lao Shi, I've lived most of my life, and I haven't let the fish bones get stuck. Who said that? Xie Yuan looked at Shi Tianji's blushing face and thick neck, and he was a little gloating.
"Okay, brother, you have a lot of ideas, hurry up and think of a way for Brother Shi. Otherwise, something will go wrong. Ye Ruliu got up and walked to Shi Tianji's side and patted him on the back. She looked at Shi Tianji's painful appearance and said to Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan tilted his head to look at the fish rack that Shi Tianji had just put on the table, and said slowly: "For my sister's sake, I'll help you once." Lao Shi, do you see the steamed buns on the table? Pick it up, take a big gulp, and swallow it violently. ”
"Brother, is this going to work?" Ye Ruliu didn't believe Xie Yuan's words a little, she thought that Xie Yuan still wanted to make fun of Shi Tianji.
"Sister, look at it. Keep your hands on the disease. Xie Yuan looked confident.
"Okay, Brother Shi, give you steamed buns, and give it a try as Brother Xie said." Ye Ruliu took the steamed bun and handed it to Shi Tianji.
Shi Tianji was so uncomfortable that he took the steamed bun, opened his mouth wide, and stuffed the whole steamed bun into his mouth, and then swallowed hard.
"Oh, oh......" Because I swallowed it too quickly, the steamed bun I swallowed got stuck in my throat and was difficult to swallow. Shi Tianji was so suffocated that he rolled his eyes.
"What can I do?" Seeing Shi Tianji roll his eyes vigorously, Ye Ruliu beside him was so frightened that his face turned pale.
"You old Shi, let you swallow a big mouthful, and you didn't let you swallow the whole steamed bun. Now it's all right. How does it feel? Xie Yuan didn't seem to be in a hurry, he looked down at Shi Tianji, who was rolling his eyes, and said slowly.
"Oh, oh......" Shi Tianji couldn't speak, he could only make a sound from his throat, he stared dryly, and begged Xie Yuan for help.
"Oh, oh, you're going to memorize Tang poems. Goose goose goose, song to the sky. Xie Yuan was still unhurried.
"Okay, help Lao Shi quickly, otherwise, someone will die." Shi Lang looked at Shi Tianji's painful appearance and pleaded with Xie Yuan.
"Come, open your mouth and drink your saliva." Xie Yuan took a glass of water and brought it to Shi Tianji's mouth, "Just take a small sip, if you drink too much, the fish bones won't go down." ”
Shi Tianji took a small sip of water according to Xie Yuan's request, and reluctantly sent down the steamed bun stuck in his throat.
"Hey, it's okay. The throat was clear. Shi Tianji breathed a sigh of relief and said happily.
"Thanks to the smaller fish bone that got stuck in your throat just now, if it were a little bigger, this steamed bun wouldn't work." Xie Yuan said to Shi Tianji.
"I said the water snake waist...... No, no, Brother Xie Yuan, thanks to you for helping my brother this time, my brother will remember your kindness. The next time you get stuck in a fish bone, I'll save you with this method. Hey, hey, hey. Shi Tianji grimaced at Xie Yuan.
"Come on, I'm not like you, who eats and gobbles up."
"Hahaha......" Everyone was amused by Fang Cai's vignette.
After dinner, everyone helped Heigu clean up the dishes and chopsticks and prepared to rest early.
The courtyard of the black girl's house is divided into two parts, the front and back parts, and the house in front is where the black aunt's parents live every day. In the small courtyard behind the house, there is also a larger house, which is prepared by Heigu's parents for Heigu's younger brother Mingxi to marry in the future.
Mingxi cleaned up the big house in the backyard, spread hay on the ground, and laid a good bunk.
Ming Xi, Luo Shiyin, Xiu Neng and others slept on the floor of the house in the backyard. Hei Gu and Ye Ruliu slept in the house in the front yard.
Everyone was tired from running around all day, and as soon as they lay down, they fell asleep one after another.
The night in the valley is quiet and peaceful, and the Guna River, not far in front of the village, shimmers in the light of the moon and the stars, and from time to time small silver swordfish frolicking on the surface of the water jump out of the water and quickly dive underwater.
In the middle of the night, Ye Ruliu and Heigu were woken up by a chaotic sound of footsteps and scolding, and the two quickly got up and got out of bed and put on their shoes.
Through the crack in the door, Heigu saw a group of people with torches walking up the sheep intestine path in front of the courtyard, and came to the fence gate of the courtyard, and kept scolding.
"These turtle grandsons are coming fast enough!" Heigu immediately understood that this was the gang of bandits seeking revenge, she scolded in her mouth, held her three-strand steel fork, and came to the courtyard to stand still.
Ye Ruliu also stood beside Heigu with her deadly rose thorn in her hand, looking at the group of strongmen who broke through the door with a calm look.
"Yo, where did the two little girls come from? This one is pretty good-looking. One of the visitors, a Humpty Dumpty man wearing a melon-skin hat, a tiger-skin skirt, and a ghost-headed knife, saw the two women standing in the courtyard, so he walked up to them with a lewd face.
He first stretched his neck exaggeratedly, glanced back and forth in front of the two faces, and then reached out to touch Ye Ruliu's face. But as soon as his hand reached in front of Ye Ruliu's face, he saw Ye Ruliu fly up suddenly, kick the guy who wanted to touch him out, and fell heavily into the large tank used to hold fish in the yard.
"Ouch, Mom!" The guy who was put into the tank struggled a few times, but the edge of the cylinder stuck his body and couldn't struggle up.
"Damn, it's pretty good!" Among the people who came, a tall man walked out, he scolded, and brandished the nine-ring big knife in his hand to slash at Ye Ruliu.
