The people in the village are usually reluctant to light oil lamps, and they fall asleep as soon as it gets dark.

Today, Liu Laosan's house is brightly lit, wild boars and wolves hang in the yard, and a group of children sing and play games around the meat. Originally, many children were asleep, but they were shouted by adults that they would soon be able to eat meat, and they were all very happy. The children's eyes were bright, and they looked at the wild boar, and then at the wolf! It turns out that the wolf looks like this! Can't remember the last time you ate meat, last year? Or the year before last?

Some people didn't go to the mountains to help, and they were embarrassed to come empty-handed, so they brought their own home-grown vegetables.

The three brothers borrowed two cauldrons from the clan, which were used in the village for red and white ceremonies.

Several people put two cauldrons on the fire together, one cauldron boiled water to scald the pig's hair, and the other cauldron prepared to cook pig's blood soup.

Liu Laosan's house was very bright by the torches, the yard was full of people, young people working, old people chatting, children playing, everything was in order, this night was more lively than the New Year, even the sick willow pillars were sitting under the eaves with red faces, and those who didn't know thought that his illness was cured.

Xiao Qi and Liu Dahe went back to the house, Niu had already slept, Ah Fu was worried that Xiao Qi had not slept yet, Liu Dahe carried Ah Fu to Liu Laosan's house, Pear Blossom and his younger brother were helping to light the fire, and saw Liu Dahe carrying Ah Fu into the yard, and hurriedly found a bench for Ah Fu to sit down.

After Ah Fu sat down, Xiao Qi asked, "Brother, your feet hurt a lot, right?" At this time, Hua Xi'er also came, she grabbed a handful of candy and handed it to Ah Fu: "Ah Fu, it hurts, come and eat a candy sweet mouth." ”

Ah Fu: "Thank you, Aunt Xi. ”

Hua Xi'er gave a few more pieces of candy to the little mouse and a few other children, and then said to Xiao Qi: "Xiao Qi, you are so powerful, I think these two wolves are much bigger than my father hunted last time." ”

Pear Blossom also said: "Yes, Xiao Qi, you are so good, you can catch wild boars." ”

Skinning wolves is a technical job, and Liu Laosan doesn't know how to do it, so Old Man Hua teaches them on the side.

The wild boar next to him was not dead yet, and made a chirping sound, Ah Fu couldn't bear to hear it: "Can you not kill the wild boar, the wild boar is so pitiful." ”

Hua Xi'er stroked her forehead: "Look at the glowing eyes of the people in the village, can they be willing not to kill the wild boar tonight?" ”

Rika also said: "How can you not kill it, we are all waiting to eat meat." ”

Many people gathered around Liu Laosan and the brothers, their eyes were shining, and they were calculating how much meat they could get at night, if you told them not to kill them, would they be willing?

The old man Hua was in a good mood today, and after instructing Liu Laosan and a few people, he began to make pig blood soup by himself, the old patriarch held a long cigarette stick in his hand and walked into the courtyard with a few elders in the Liu clan, he looked very energetic with a smile on his face, and when he walked to the side of the big iron pot, he saw that the old man Hua was busy cutting vegetables, and the old patriarch said to the old man: "Old flower, how can you let you do it yourself, these lazy young people, I have to talk about them." ”

Old man Hua hurriedly stopped him: "The old patriarch is here, go and sit down and rest, you don't need to call other people to help, I like to do it myself every time I hunt, I also brought wine tonight, you sit down and chat first, and when the food is ready, let's drink some wine together." ”

The old patriarch smacked his cigarette holder and smiled: "If you don't get drunk, you won't return." ”

On the other side, the women were also very happy, they finally waited for the time to divide the meat, Liu Dakui and Liu Laosan and the three brothers cut the wolf meat and pork into strips together, the hot meal has not yet begun to eat, this side of the meat has been divided, each family can probably divide five pieces of meat.

Liu Laosan is responsible for the meat, and the women line up to lead the meat, as the so-called three women in one play, the women are very lively together.

Aunt Wang took the meat handed over by Liu Laosan and said to Liu Laosan: "The third child grows better, save more money, and then my aunt will tell you a handsome daughter-in-law." ”

Liu Laosan's face was said to be red, but he was black, so he couldn't see it.

Peach Blossom Niang said to the woman beside her: "I heard that the meat of wild boars and wolves is very fishy, and it can't be chewed, so it is not delicious at all. ”

Liu Laosan just got the wild boar belly of Xiao Qi's family, and he was very grateful to Xiao Qi, and at this time he was very angry when he heard the disgust in Peach Blossom Niang's words, and felt that Peach Blossom Niang had failed Xiao Qi's kindness, so he gave the smallest meat strip to Peach Blossom Niang. Peach Blossom Niang has been staring at the meat strips for a long time, and is thinking about letting Liu Laosan help pick a few large pieces, and is very angry when she sees Liu Laosan picking the smallest meat for herself, and asks Liu Laosan: "Why do you give my family such a small piece of meat, which is smaller than other people's, this is too unfair." ”

Liu Laosan shouted: "What do you dislike, who dislikes this meat just now, you still come to line up for such fishy meat, this is the daughter of the Dahe family who worked hard to get it back, when I don't know, your family's dishes didn't have any meat stars during the Chinese New Year last year." ”

Peach Blossom Niang pouted: "What's so great about the daughter of the Dahe family, she was born on the day of the great murder of the tengu eating the sun, and Shen Daochang said that she was poisoned and killed."

Peach Blossom Niang has long been at odds with the Niu family, the last time the Niu family showed off the piece of broken flower cloth at the entrance of the village, the peach blossom girl looked very greedy, these should have been hers, she also wanted to marry Liu Dahe back then, but Liu Dahe was hooked by the Niu family.

Mrs. Wang, who delivered the baby, also led the three little grandsons of the family to eat meat tonight, and when she heard Peach Blossom Niang mention Shen Daochang, Mrs. Wang looked at the five pieces of meat in her hand, and she felt a little weak. Mrs. Wang felt a little guilty about Xiao Qi in her heart, she remembered that Daoist Shen was full of nonsense to coax the Niu family, and the fool of the Niu family still disliked Xiao Qi's life poison until now, if the Taoist priest has real skills, where does he need to spend money to buy news from her, and I heard that the Taoist priest was beaten half to death in the town later because of the inaccurate hexagram.

So Mrs. Wang said to everyone: "As soon as the daughter of the Dahe family was born that day, the tengu was driven away, and the sun came out, so the daughter of the Dahe family is an auspicious person." ”

Most of the people in the village are very kind, and many of them are carrying the meat they have just received, which Xiao Qi got from the mountain, and everyone has to say some words of gratitude to Xiao Qi.

"The fact that we can eat meat today is all a blessing brought by Xiao Qi."

"Who's to say it isn't? My family is not willing to eat meat all year round, and today there is a blessing for the mouth, and having Xiaoqi is the blessing of our Liujia Village. ”

"No matter how fishy it is, it's meat, and I've heard that the rich like this fishy game, and the wild boar meat in the town's shops is much more expensive than the domestic pork."

"I heard that Xiao Qi has a lot of strength, and he kicked the wolf to death with one kick."

"Our village has Xiaoqi, and when the drought comes, Wangjia Village will dare to grab water from our village." The village usually uses the river to draw water, but when there is a drought, the river water will dry up, and only the well water is available, and the well between Liujia Village and Wangjia Village has become the source of contention between the two villages.

"But no, Xiao Qi is so powerful, the people of Wangjia Village must weigh it."

Peach Blossom Niang didn't follow, she just lay on the ground and rolled, crying loudly in her mouth, which alarmed the old patriarch, and the old patriarch asked Liu Laosan to add another piece of meat to her, and she got up and quieted down.
