Chapter 31: The Food That Comes to You

Ma Dongfen took Ma Degui and his party and went straight to Wujindang. The three-sail wooden boat, with the water and the wind, sailed to the Wujindang base of the Ma Dongjun and sailed to the reed beach. Coming with a new arrival

Ma Dongjun, who was trained by bandits, was heartbroken after hearing the information that Zhongfa Bai was ordered by Sun Dajiao to send the government to take people to squat at the Colorful Xia Post Station, intending to ambush and pursue the Wujindang bandits

Thinking about Ma Dongfen. Sending away Ma Dongjun, who was white, anxious, and restless, had no intention of observing the training of the newly recruited little bandits. is full of prayers for Ma Dongfen and others

Pray, may they be safe.

Among the people who went out to hunt with Ma Dongfen, except for Ma Dongfen, who was his own sister. and his Wu Jindang's second-in-command Xiao Ji, plus Xiao Ji's right-hand man Er Dongcheng,

Erhu Tao et al. Once a few of them fall into the hands of the government, they will die for the time being. The loss to Ugin Dang will be extremely heavy. After all, several of them have their own strengths,

I don't dare to say it with a stunt. At least, the toad has a belly, nine bends and eighteen bends, and they have a bad stomach with bad ideas.

Let's just say that Xiao Ji is doing it, and following him Ma Dongjun is almost ten years before and after the saddle. Just like Jiang Hexi cultivated him Ma Dongjun at the beginning, cultivating Xiao Ji to engage, Ma Dongjun also used his brains. ever

I remember that he heard that there was a little Ji in Liujun Town, who was very smart. It's a pity that this guy is not used properly, crooked and heretical, and has a lot of flowers. The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. horse

Dongjun thought: If I have such a person in my hand, who is equivalent to Zhuge Liang under Uncle Liu Huang, wouldn't I be like a tiger in Wujindang! Then, why does Ma Dongjun appreciate Xiao Ji so much

This?

It turned out that Ma Dongjun heard the locals of Liujun Town say: Xiao Ji is called Sun Zheping. Parents only know how to work hard, and they are not good at using their brains to make money. Plus more than a dozen brothers and sisters

, and Xiao Ji has big brothers and sisters, and younger brothers and sisters. There are eight or nine brothers and sisters, and they rely on their parents to raise so many people, and they can't eat a meal of meat all year round. Often can't be opened

Hungry pots are a common thing for them.

Looking at other people's big fish and meat, while their own houses are surrounded by four walls, and their clothes are not covered. Xiao Ji is not like other brothers and sisters, he only knows to wait for his father and mother to bring them food. He himself often runs out

Go, in turmoil, come to the rich man's house to observe the movement. One day, he stumbled upon a rich man who brought a family of old and young, fatty fish stew, and a large pile of tributes to the land temple to kowtow to incense

。 Sun Zheping, who was grumbling with hunger, smelled the fragrance of pig's head, steamed chicken, and steamed duck, and his saliva couldn't stop flowing down. I can't wait to rush up, grab a piece and run. But he didn't dare to do that

do, because there are many people, and when it comes to fighting, he is not an opponent of the rich.

So, he quietly followed. After the group burned incense and kowtowed to thank them, everyone returned empty-handed. Xiao Ji watched a large group of people from the rich family quietly leave the land

In the temple, a lot of tributes fell. Although he saw it, he did not dare to move. Because, as everyone knows, it is a sacrifice to ghosts and gods. Whoever eats will be punished. So, in his heart

I thought, I wait for the ghosts and gods to finish eating, leftovers, and go eat some leftovers by myself, there should be no problem, right?

Therefore, Xiao Ji Rong sat in front of the Land Temple, hiding behind the gate and waiting. Watching the steaming heat rise from the food, Xiao Ji made his stomach thrum. An hour

In the past, he didn't see a shortage of food, nor did he see ghosts and spirits coming to eat. Instead, I saw rats cooing in nests and leaving with food in their mouths. Xiao Ji looked anxious, he

Ran over, drove away the fat and big rats, and scolded with his feet and mouth: "I'll see you steal food again, I'll see you steal food again." What the gods eat, you dare to steal it. I

Stampede you to death. ”

At this time, Xiao Ji still didn't dare to move the tribute. The subtle influence of the elders, earnestly taught, Xiao Ji is still afraid of the power of ghosts and gods. Even if you don't know anything, ghost

He had never seen any kind of God. But he prefers to believe that it is true. Another hour passed, and the food was untouched. Xiao Ji really can't stand it, no matter what the hell he makes the gods,

I'll eat first and then I'll talk. Even if you are retaliated, you will fill your stomach and be a full ghost.

So, he took the tribute and ate the meat products first. After a meal of eating and drinking, Xiao Ji hiccups and is about to leave. But I remembered the scene where the rat stole the tribute just now, and thought to myself: I don't

Eat it, the rat will also steal it to eat, so it is better to take it home and eat it slowly. So, Xiao Ji took away all the tributes that the rich family's family put in the land temple, including fruits, etc., and left no one. Pro

left, Xiao Ji didn't forget to kowtow to the land temple and said: "Land master, I'm sorry, it's not that I don't know the etiquette, but I came for two hours, and you didn't come out to enjoy.

I can only do it for me. If you are guilty, come to me. Anyway, if you are alive, you will starve to death, so it is better to go with you, and you will not carry four taels in your hands all day long, and someone will provide for you. ”

After saying that, he carried a large bag of tribute in his arms and went straight home.

When the brothers and sisters saw it, ahhh Seeing this, Xiao Ji lay on the food alone, and kept shouting: "You can't eat, I bought it in exchange for my life."

。 Unfortunately, wait and see, whoever eats will be punished. Xiao Ji didn't do it for his own sake, because he didn't dare to say that this was the tribute he took home from the Land Temple

。 There are seven or eight brothers and sisters, and no one listens to him, and they all think that Xiao Ji is doing it to eat alone.

There was no way, Xiao Ji had no choice but to say to them: "You all consciously and voluntarily rushed to eat, and my father and mother came back to blame, and it has nothing to do with me." "While talking, my father and mother did it

When I came back to life, I saw that the table was full of food, and my father and mother, who had not touched meat for many years, couldn't care about the origin of the food, so I let the children eat first, and the leftovers were swept away

。 Xiao Ji was so frightened that he hid far away, but fortunately, his father didn't ask about it.

Later, Xiao Ji found out that he had stolen the tribute and was not punished by God, and he became more and more bold. Every time I see a rich family, I go to the land temple to burn incense and kowtow to pay tribute, and Xiao Ji never does it again

Like the first time, it was terrifying. Instead, they waited for the people to leave, and immediately took the tribute from it and went home. Always walking by the river, how can there be no wet feet. Once, there was a big one in the next village

The rich man's name is Zhao Changfa. The ancestors on the land temple had just finished leaving, and suddenly, he found that an umbrella he was carrying fell on the land temple, and he had already walked out for half a mile, and hurriedly adjusted

Turn around and go back to the Land Temple to get it.

Ahh Zhao Changfa held an umbrella and prepared to leave. Suddenly, something felt wrong. Their house was placed on the offering table

On the tribute, only fruit remains. None of the cow's head or pig's head were missing. was so frightened that Zhao Changfa knelt on the ground with a "poof". The mouth kept shouting: "God bless, God bless." ”

Xiao Ji, who was hiding behind the stone statue of the land lord, heard Zhao Changfa babbling in his mouth, covering his mouth and snickering.

He felt that it was too funny to be used by Zhao Changfa to enjoy the tribute as a god. simply, in front of Zhao Changfa, he reached out and grabbed one that was placed on the offering table

Apple. It just so happened that Zhao Changfa watched the apple run away automatically. Frightened, "Wow!", he ran away. Don't look at these people who usually like Amitabha, ask the gods to bless them. Once true

When he saw the manifestation of the gods, he was already so frightened that the three souls were not the second soul.

Seeing that Zhao Changfa was so frightened that he ran away, Xiao Ji walked out from behind the stone statue of the land lord alone. Learning from Zhao Changfa's appearance just now, he danced and said, "Ahhhh

I have appeared!" Alone, a carnival. Since then, Xiao Ji has been out of control. Not to mention that the land temple was wrapped up by him, he also played a bunch of indiscriminate gangsters, specially impersonating

Relatives are mourning. They don't care how much money they give or not, they just need to earn a full stomach and go home to sleep.

One day, the group mounted their horses and heard that someone had died in a nearby family. Xiao Ji was the first to be alone, and in the dead of night, he sneaked into people's homes to inquire about the movement. He came to this house

At the gate, first buckle the horse to the tree outside, and climb over the wall to enter. looked over and learned that the big family was Zhao Changfa he met in the Land Temple. The family has a lot of money, a yard

Inside the antique. Mahogany furniture, large table with buckets. Oak flooring, definitely above the local landlord veterans.

Looking inside, I saw a coffin in the middle of the hall, on which was written the words "Mother Zhu Yulan drove the crane to the west, the autumn of the 22nd year of the Republic of China". Xiao Ji is secretly happy in his heart, it seems,

The little brothers have good news to inquire. The coffin is headed south and feet are north, accompanied by four people kneeling on the ground and burning paper. Halfway through, there were four substitutions. Xiao Ji took a closer look at the movement in the courtyard and only heard a large group

People are noisy and mumbling. Listening attentively, it turned out to be a list of people who were going to mourn, and the family members had a dispute.

Zhao Changfa sat in the middle of the compound, looking over seventy years old. He instructed his children: "Wait a minute, your mother has too many relatives in her family, and she went to report the funeral yesterday and didn't do it today."

Let's get a few. Her mother's family is big, and there are hundreds of people who come to mourn, and no one has ever gotten along with them, and no one knows how many of them came. When the older generation meets, they can still get to know each other. As long as it is

Later, our family didn't know each other. Therefore, as long as someone comes to report the Zhu family tree, it must be received quickly and must not be neglected. Your mother has made a lot of contributions to my Zhao Changfa family. raise

You and others work hard and lose money. My mother's family often helps my Zhao family and can't forget their roots, and this last thing is left after she passes away, so don't leave a handle for others. After Zhao Changfa finished speaking,

After a pause, he picked up the teapot in his hand and took a gentle sip.

Under the knees, a large group of Zhao long-haired descendants were born, nodding their heads again and again. "Dad, don't worry, my mother's uncle's family and I must be careful. You don't have to worry about it when you're old, you have a lot of children and grandchildren

This is busy, you can relax when you are old!" "The eldest son, Zhao Germany, as the eldest son, represents everyone in front of the old father. The crowd dispersed and returned to their posts

Go up. Each of them held a piece of paper in his hand, on which was densely written what to do and what not to do. Or, what should be done.

Xiao Ji engaged, listened carefully, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: Haha, there are many mother's families, and most of the descendants who don't know each other. Then why don't I take advantage of the situation and get in with a large group of my little brothers?

Yes, if you don't eat for nothing, you won't eat for nothing. Thinking of this, Xiao Ji quietly came to the room. Coincidentally, a guy came out of the kitchen to bring firewood. Xiao Ji hurriedly leaned over and asked, "Alas."

Alas, little brother, may I ask if the old man Zhao Changfa is from this family?"

The young man Cheng Xiao Shrimp, looked up at Xiao Ji Rong, and asked a little surprised: "Yes! It's so late, what are you doing with our master? Could it be ......?" Cheng Xiao Shrimp just thought

said that he was coming to mourn, but he was afraid that people were not what he guessed, wouldn't he scold others! Xiao Ji heard it and was in a hurry: "Oh."

, dare to ask the little brother that Zhao Changfa old man's wife's maiden family, do you know what kind of place it is?" Xiao Ji because he didn't know where the dead old woman's maiden house was, how could you pretend

The mourning mother's family?

When the guy Cheng Xiaoxiao heard this, he thought to himself: Are you verifying whether this is Zhao Changfa's family? Alas, the matter of the dead man, that one dares to pretend indiscriminately. So, he's serious

said to Xiao Ji: "I won't tell you, our old woman's maiden home is in Nazhujiabao, eighty miles away from here, in the northeast corner of Liujun Town. A few years ago, I sent an old woman back to her mother

Family. Quadrangle compound with dozens of properties. The old woman's brothers and sisters are all good. In the courtyard, there are dozens of high-headed horses, not to mention, and there are thousands of hectares of fertile land. Shop the silver number, dozens

。 Am I right, sir?" The man thought that Xiao Ji didn't believe him, so he reported the general situation of the old woman's maiden family in one breath to prove that he was not wrong

。 As you know, this is precisely the first condition for Xiao Ji to pretend to be the old woman's mother's family in the next step.

Hearing this, Xiao Ji hurriedly pushed the boat down the river: "Ah, little brother, I am the old woman's mother's family." How many years have I not come to the door, I don't know the southeast and northwest. There are more than a dozen relatives in the back

Qi all came together. The reason why I asked my brother for detailed information was that I was afraid of going to the wrong door and finding the wrong person. Running for a funeral is not child's play. Make jokes, laugh for 10,000 years!" Xiao Ji said

It's old-fashioned, and it sounds polite!

When the young man heard this, he was happy. He originally guessed that the other party might be his mother's family, but he didn't dare to act rashly. So, he replied to Xiao Ji while pulling the grass with his head

Engage in it. At this moment, he raised his head, grabbed Xiao Ji's hand and said, "Ah, it turned out to be the old woman's mother's family, I have worked hard all the way, hurry up and please." After speaking, he hurriedly took it

With Xiao Ji, I want to go to the hall.

Xiao Ji smiled sideways and told him, "Little brother, you wait here for a while, and I'll go and bring back my mother's family who came with me." He came to the gate and whistled, more than a dozen little brothers

Brother, five kings and eight monkeys, together on horseback "boom" a sound of horses' hooves, everyone came one after another. Xiao Ji whispered: "Brothers, listen to me, you will come with me later,

Someone asked you what kind of relatives you were, and told them that they were the mother's family of the old woman Zhu Jiabao, and don't tell me that you are leaking. Listen to me, the big guy eats and drinks for a few days, and he can't get it to leave

, each person can also give some silver taels. One thing we must note is that we are here to mourn, pretending to be sad and sad, and the more we pretend to be as similar as possible. When eating and drinking, pay attention to the cut

Don't get drunk, have you heard that?"

Chen Zhe, nicknamed the second big mouth. As soon as he heard that there was wine to drink, he danced with his hands: "Hey, Xiaoji, you won't coax us, right?

The cheeky look looked at Xiao Ji.

Dou Nianjun, nicknamed the three scar-eyes, "snapped" and slapped the horse's buttocks, and the horse was suddenly frightened, and went straight forward: "Grandma is a bear, you don't know if you have wine or not."

Dao, what are you doing with nonsense. So, the group tied their horses and entered with Xiao Ji. The young man Cheng Xiao Shrimp was waiting at the gate, although he couldn't hear what Xiao Ji Rong said to these people

But at least, when the old woman's family comes to mourn, they must discuss it, and it is better not to disturb them.

So, a group of people, under the leadership of the young man Cheng Xiaoxiao, followed Xiao Ji one after the other, and came to the gate of Zhao Changfa's main house. The young man became a small shrimp and brought the original mother's family

and came to greet you. As soon as he saw Xiao Ji Rong with a large group of people, he hurriedly went back to the house to call Zhao Changfa's sons, dragged the crying sticks wrapped in reed wood and white paper, and knelt at the gate

。 Zhu Yushang is the old woman's younger brother. He looked intently at the visitors, but found that he did not recognize any of them. I thought to myself: There are more than ten sisters in our family, and there are no major events between each other

There are few contacts. The main thing is to be far away and not to come and go freely. But the old sisters and brothers are together, and no matter how much they change, they can recognize them. The younger generation becomes an adult, and no one knows anyone,

Pardonable. He had to stand aside and not talk much, saying that the family didn't know the family, wouldn't it be a joke.

Xiao Ji saw Zhao Changfa's son kneeling and kowtowing, and hurriedly stepped forward to help them up one by one. "Hurry up, hurry up, everyone mourns and changes!"

Next, under the leadership of Zhao Kai, the group came to the coffin and kowtowed one by one to show their condolences. Everyone pretended to be, followed by Zhao Kai, the eldest son of Zhao Changfa, and kowtowed three times. calculate

It is respect for the deceased.

But Xiao Ji's little brother, Sima Gang, nicknamed Liu Buyi, when kowtowing to the coffin, suddenly remembered Xiao Ji's advice: Since it is a funeral, when you see someone, you must pretend to be one

Vice-sad look. So, he suddenly cried out with a "wow": "My aunt and grandmother, you died so bitterly! The nephews and grandchildren came to mourn early in the morning

Riding on a horse, the road did not stop, the wind and dust were served. In order to see my aunt for the last time, I led the children and did not eat water and rice for a day. Until now, I finally found you. He knelt one

Crying, everyone saw this, their faces were confused, you look at me, I look at you, the six gods have no master.

Xiao Ji was shocked by the trick of six hardships. He didn't expect that Liu Buyi would come out and cry at this meeting. Where is this mourning, it is clearly to stir up peace. I'm afraid of revealing him

I have to make mistakes. He knelt down and kowtowed, and cried with tears in his eyes: "Eldest sister, why are you leaving so early? Wait a while, my brother will take the younger generation to look at you."

I didn't have time. When I received the report of the funeral, I led my family to pack up and ride to your house. Non-stop, the descendants were starving, and the three geniuses arrived. Big sister, alas, you're okay

It's not easy, the brothers remember it vividly. Woo woo woo ...... "He cried with tears and snot, crying sadly, and the people who listened were also sad.

Three Scareyes blinked, and they could hear the two of them crying for their aunt and the other crying for their eldest sister. Temo's little Ji is love

Take advantage, I have to let your class rank behind me today. Thinking of this, the three scar-eyes immediately cried loudly: "Oh, hey, my eldest niece, alas, why don't you say go, I will take it."

With his family, he got up and slept in the middle of the night and rode a horse to rush here. Along the way, I didn't even dare to delay the horse's drinking time, so that it would be evening and cross the threshold of your house. but they do not know that they are alive in this life,

The two of us have not grinded noodles, and your door is open to which side, and we don't know it. Fortunately, I met your nephew and younger brother by chance, and several people discussed before entering your house. ”

As soon as he cried, Xiao Ji felt furious in his heart: This bastard is crying, will he show his feet? The old lady is in her seventies, and he calls her eldest niece. The mother's family heard it, and looked foreign,

He gritted his teeth in anger, but he did not dare to act rashly. I'm afraid that my mother's family will know that none of these people will be able to leave. In case it is sent to the official yamen, pretending to be a mourner

People, just to eat and drink nonsense. Wouldn't it make people laugh off their big teeth? It is the first time since ancient times that a dead person has been recognized as a relative. In order to stop them from fooling around as soon as possible, Xiao Ji continued

cry to remind them that the trouble is not to eat enough, but to eat the lawsuit.

So, Xiao Ji continued to cry: "My eldest sister, did you hear it, the one who called your eldest niece is too rude, you are more than seventy, he is just nonsense." Crying

For a while, make jokes to see where you run. If you harm others and yourself, you won't get anything. Listen to my advice, and the people quickly prepare the food and drinks. If you can't pass this level, you don't even smell of alcohol

I can't smell it. Don't cry, put away your set. If I insist on going my own way, I will not spare everyone when they go back. Xiao Ji was crying and went to pull the three scars.

Three scarred eyes, stunned. The crying stopped abruptly. Because, he knew that he was impulsive, crying wrongly, and he didn't know what to do. I had to keep my mouth shut, kneeling on the side and not daring to get up,

I didn't dare to cry anymore. Because, he found that no matter how much he pretended, he couldn't cry a single tear. Zhu Yushang, the real mother's family, doesn't know what these people mean by crying.

Big men are mourning, and there are those who cry like girls. This time, he really opened his eyes. However, the person who is crying and calling his sister and eldest niece at the moment makes Zhu Kaishang think

up a person.

"Oh, you just left Zhujiabao and went to Xin Yanggang's descendants of Zhu Kaisheng, right? I'm sorry, I haven't seen you for many years, and everyone doesn't know each other. In order of seniority, you are indeed my uncle,

Although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs, and there are no five blessings, so I can't rely on the old and sell the old. Uncle, you are mourning. If I haven't forgotten, you seem to be Zhu Kaisheng's last aunt

It's too raw, isn't it? After speaking, he grabbed Scar's hand tightly and asked him to sit down and pour tea. made a three-scar eye and confused.

Xiao Ji listened to it on the sidelines, turning his worries into joy. Grandma is a bear, the three scars are blind, and the blind cat meets the dead mouse, which really makes him cry. The night is long and there are many dreams, hurry up and urge the master

Cook rice and stir-fry, let them eat to their heart's content, and run away overnight. So, Xiao Ji hurriedly pretended to be hungry. "Ouch, a little stomachache!"

Zhu Yushang hurriedly asked, "Ah! It can't be hungry!"

Xiao Ji got straight to the point: "Well, it should be, I have a stomach problem, and when I am hungry, I will have pain." Xiao Ji covered his little stomach with both hands, and said to Zhu Yushang weakly.

A pair of eyes looked at Zhu Yushang with a dripping look.

At this time, the eldest son of the Xu family helped the old man in, nodded and said to Xiao Ji: "Relatives and friends, mourn and change." First go to the living room and sit down, the wine and food are ready

Be prepared, the old man is old, and he never accompanies him to greet him. Dear relatives, please bear with me and don't blame you. I have commanded the children to keep vigil at night, and not to sleep. Ladies and gentlemen, please feel free to use it

Let's eat!"

Tang Dezhong, nicknamed Four Claws, was already hungry. As soon as I heard that there was food to eat, I flattened my head and drilled back and forth. Without waiting for Xiao Ji to reply, he hurriedly replied, "Okay then."

It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, I'll wait to get into the table quickly, don't delay the business. "It looks like a starving ghost reincarnated. It is true that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and sons born of mice will make holes. all day

People who think about running for food will eventually starve to death in the wilderness in their lives.

Xiao Ji listened to the words of the four claws, and glared angrily and wanted to scold him. No matter how hungry you are, you have to endure it. Don't you know that people have nothing to do with you?

Relatives, come over for a meal, you really think you are an uncle!
