Chapter 37: The Cross Slope (Part II)
Just when Shi Jin was thinking about whether he should rush into the back kitchen immediately to check if there were any corpses.
Chen Da picked up the chopsticks and went to the meat, picked it up, looked at it, and sniffed it.
Then he put a chopstick, put it in his mouth and chewed it and said: "It's not human meat, it's authentic fat dog meat!" ”
When Shi Jin heard this, he immediately said, "Chen Da." How do you know it's dog meat? ”
Chen Da said nonchalantly: "If you eat too much, you will naturally know." ”
As soon as he swallowed the meat in his mouth, Chen Da slapped the table and shouted, "It's not tasteful to eat meat, shopkeeper, quickly pound some garlic." ”
The guy hurriedly pounded some garlic paste and put it in front of Chen Da in the future. Also presented is rice wine that has been stored in the cellar for two years.
Chen Da smelled the mellow aroma of wine and was overjoyed. Opened the mud seal, first poured Shi Jin and Zhu Wu's bowls full, and then quickly didn't need chopsticks, just grabbed the dog meat with his hand and dipped it in garlic paste, took a sip of meat and wine, ate it slippery, and was willing to live there.
At this time, the guy from the shop brought up a few plates of big steamed buns.
Shi Jin heard that it was dog meat, and Chen Da drank it for so long, but he didn't faint. I had doubts about whether those Sun Erniang would make human meat buns.
Shi Jin slapped a steamed bun and shouted sternly: "What kind of stuffing are you stuffing this steamed bun?" Dog meat or human flesh? ”
The guy was so frightened that he hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense about the guest officer!" The world is peaceful, how can this human flesh be stuffed? ”
Shi Jin stared at the guy and shouted, "Why can't human flesh be stuffed?" But I heard: Big tree cross slope, who dares to go there? The fat ones are cut into steamed bun fillings, but the thin ones are put to fill the river. ”
The guy immediately changed color and said: "The guest officer is just eating wine, why spoil the small shop?" ”
Shi Jin also wanted to continue to ask.
Sun Erniang, who was standing at the counter, couldn't help it, so she casually picked up her double knives from under the counter, jumped out of the counter, and pointed at Shi Jin with a single knife and scolded: "You damn thief!" Since entering the door, he has been talking nonsense. The old lady has put up with you for a long time, and the old lady is fighting hard to kill you! ”
There is no excuse, but you jumped out.
Shi Jin immediately laughed angrily and said, "I want to learn the ability of the dominatrix!" ”
The female shopkeeper jumped out with a double knife like a fly.
Sun Erniang grabbed two pig-killing knives, two knives, running like flying, only seeing the light of the knife, not half a figure.
The ruthless Chao Shi Jin pounced.
only heard the sound of the knife, only to see a flash of white light, Sun Erniang's injured pig-killing knife suddenly fell, and the whole person fell to the ground.
But it was Shi Jin who sat on the table, grabbed the Qinglong stick with one hand, and stabbed Sun Erniang to the ground with one stick.
Sun Erniang was shot in the chest, lying on the ground and panting,
Shi Jin got up and put a stick against Sun Erniang's throat. Shi Jin was about to ask, but he heard someone shouting loudly in the distance: "The good man is angry!" And forgive, the villain has his own words. ”
Shi Jin raised his head and saw a person running out of the back kitchen, this person was wearing a green gauze concave scarf; Wearing a white cloth shirt with eight sets of bast shoes underneath; Tied around the waist with a wrap bag; Born with three fists and a forked face, a few mustaches, nearly thirty-five or sixteen years old, looking at Shi Jin, his forked hands did not leave the square inch, and said: "Would you like to hear the name of a hero?" ”
Shi Jin raised his head and shouted: "I won't change my name, and I won't change my surname!" The history of Shaohua Mountain is! ”
The man said: "Isn't it the nine-patterned dragon Shi Jin?" ”
Shi Jin replied: "Yes! ”
The man bowed his head and said, "I have been famous for a long time, and I am fortunate to know you today." ”
Shi Jin deliberately pretended not to know and asked, "Who are you, could it be this woman's husband?" ”
The man said: "The little one is called Zhang Qing of the vegetable garden." It is the shopkeeper here. This woman is the villain's Hun family, the Hun family has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and somehow offended the hero? You can look at the villain's thin face, hoping to beg for forgiveness! ”
After pondering for a while, Shi Jin said sharply: "I see that your husband and wife are not idle people, have you ever done anything to kill people and chop stuffing." You'd better not hide it from me, or I'll let you two live better than die when I find a corpse in your shop!" ”
Zhang Qing clasped his fists and shouted, "Good man Ming, pork is cheap, cut into meat filling, it's not worth a few dollars." What's more, this person who opens the door to do business, who dares to do such murderous and harmful deeds, once it spreads, who will dare to come here. Besides, if you harm people's lives, the bitter lord will complain, and the government officials will come to the door. Even if you can hide it and send those corrupt officials away, I am afraid that it will cost you more. Why bother to do that murderous and harmful deed! ”
Shi Jin frowned, there is some truth in what this guy said.
Just this shabby grass house and rotten restaurant, the rich will not come. Passers-by who have no money should be glad to be able to eat a steamed bun, and they still want to eat meat buns!
The sales of this meat bun are not high.
In those days, there was no refrigerator, and the food could not be preserved at all.
A corpse must have fifty or sixty pounds of flesh. How many buns can be made with so much meat, and how many buns can be sold. You can't kill people every day, make stuffing every day.
Well, even if you only kill people once every ten days and half a month, those people will always have a sufferer, find out about your black shop, and sue the yamen. Just those evil history officials who have to do everything they can to loot will let go of such a good opportunity!
A bun is a few pennies, and none of those evil historical officials can get away with it!
It's not a good deal to think about it.
However, Shi Jin didn't completely listen to the words of these two in-laws, maybe these two in-laws are mainly for money and murder, and making human meat buns is just a sideline.
Shi Jin called out to Zhu Wu and said, "Zhu Wu, you should carefully search these grass huts to see if there are any corpses or suspicious places!" ”
"Yes, big brother!" Zhu Wu immediately led more than a dozen people to carefully examine the three thatched huts, but did not find the corpses. But three or four dog bones were found.
Hearing that no body was found, Shi Jin looked at Zhang Qing and asked, "Since you didn't use human flesh for stuffing, why did you have such rumors?" ”
Zhang Qing, the vegetable gardener, said hatefully, "So that the good man knows that this cross slope is a traffic point in Mengzhou, and the sun sets endlessly for pedestrians. But damn I don't know where a thief came from, trying to occupy our store, and that thief is very capable. It took the two of us and these two stupid men to beat him away. The thief saw that it was impossible to occupy this place, so he ran to occupy Centipede Ridge. Listening to the name, the hero knows that the centipede ridge is originally an evil ridge, and few pedestrians usually pass by from there. But in order to deceive the people, the thief deliberately spread rumors and make trouble, and after a long time, those pedestrians did not know the truth or falsehood, and for fear of being killed, they made a detour through Centipede Ridge. If it weren't for the fact that my skills were not as good as others, my husband and wife would definitely be the thieves! ”
Shi Jin stared at Zhang Qing and said, "You don't want to find an excuse to coax me, and then you want to take the opportunity to escape!" ”
Zhang Qing said, "If a good man doesn't believe it, he can send a subordinate to pretend to be a passerby to check it out." You will know the truth and the false."
Shi Jin took back the Qinglong stick, called Wang Si, and asked him to take a dozen brothers to Centipede Ridge to find out.
Two hours later, Wang Si rode back on horseback.
"Young Zhuang master, what that person said is indeed not bad, there is indeed a thief Taoist in Centipede Ridge, the thief saw that I was alone, and pretended that the Taoist priest wanted to kidnap me into the mountain, fortunately I was on guard and fled back first.
When Shi Jin heard this, he immediately said to Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang: "I'm sorry, I misbelieved people's words and made you two wronged!" ”
Although Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang also have some personalities, they can't beat each other, and the number of opponents is hundreds of times that of them, and they dare to complain.
"It's because I'm clumsy and don't know Taishan!"
Zhang Qing hurriedly asked his mother-in-law to bring out the good wine that had been stored in the cellar for five years, and warmly entertained Shi Jin and his party.
After a few rounds of drinking, everyone got familiar with it.
Shi Jin shouted, "You husband and wife are not idlers. What is the creation of being nested here all day long? Even if it's a villain in Centipede Ridge, even if we kill him this time. There is no guarantee that there will be no more gatherings in the future. Are you a husband and wife, and you still suffer from idleness all day long? In my opinion, the two of you follow me up to Liangshan together, eating meat and drinking wine in large bowls, isn't it better than opening a small shop in the countryside here! ”
Zhang Qing hesitated when he heard this, "This ...... Please also ask the owner of Shi Zhuang to let the villain think about one or two! ”
