In the cold moonlight in the courtyard, the stone statue that Lao Yu got back from Dongshan County was still there.

Where the small building is connected to the chicken coop behind is a small road, and the kind of green plants planted on both sides are also quietly growing vigorously in the moonlight.

Passing through the chicken coop, there is the peach forest.

Although the peach blossoms have withered, those peach trees are still there, and the cream red has already borne fruit, and within a month, it will be big and red.

Further back, there is the demolished Taoyuan Farmhouse, the mess all over the land is gone, but it is still very depressed.

And on this side, in the hall on the first floor of the three-story building, there is still a stench.

The cold snake gall on the table had been almost eaten by the strange man, and the two bowls of buttery chicken soup next to it were still quietly steaming.

At the moment, I am holding a chicken head mask in my hand.

The cockscomb on the mask drooped down, and its color became dark and gray, and it looked dejected.

The chicken feathers on the mask did not have the shiny luster that I had just seen, but as if they had just been dug out of the dust, dirty.

And the motionless man lying on the ground was none other than the owner of the chicken farm, Lao Yu.

The gray suit on Lao Yu's body was also full of dirt, and it didn't look like a high-end product worth tens of thousands of yuan at all, looking at the texture and cut, it looked like a worthless stall for one or two hundred yuan.

"Boss, you ......"

Liu Kui was very surprised when he saw that the strange man was actually Lao Yu. He stepped forward and called out carefully, but Lao Yu did not answer.

Liang Yuan stepped forward, he stretched out his finger and probed Lao Yu's snort, and after testing that he had breath, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then nodded at us and said, "It's still alive." ”

Liu Kui and Liang Yuan helped Lao Yu up and put him on the sofa in the living room, Lao Yu was still unconscious, Liu Kui went upstairs and took a thin quilt for Lao Yu to put on.

I stepped forward and opened Lao Yu's eyelids to take a look, and after making sure he was okay, I took a step back.

At this time, Wu's mother walked in with her head down, she glanced at Lao Yu lying on the sofa, and didn't speak, and was about to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, I called her: "Don't move first, stay for a while and then clean up." ”

Mother Wu was stunned for a moment.

Liu Kui said to her: "Mother Wu, you go down first, and when we are done here, we will call you later." ”

The woman nodded, and turned to go out.

But I suddenly stepped forward and blocked her way: "Mother Wu, you, just here, don't go anywhere." ”

The woman didn't look up, she tried to pass me, but I wouldn't let her go.

I said to the blind man, "Come here, help me take good care of her, and then there will be a good show." ”

This guy hurriedly stepped forward, although he didn't understand what I wanted to do, but before I came, I told him that don't ask too much about everything, and listen to me and you will survive.

The blind man came over and grabbed Wu's mother's arm, the woman didn't struggle much, she stood obediently to the side and still kept her head down and didn't speak.

I walked over to the table and looked at the bowl of chicken soup on the table.

In the buttery soup, there are a few dark green leaves.

Picking up the pair of chopsticks that Lao Yu used to eat snake gall just now, I picked up a trace of a leaf that was about to melt away, put it on my fingertips and pressed it gently, and the leaf immediately turned into sewage.

Looking at the dark green color of the fingertips, and then looking at the chicken soup that has been stewed with this thing for so long, the color has not been affected in any way.

At that moment, I had a rough idea of what it was.

Liang Yuan asked me: "Tang Xiaofan, what happened to this chicken farm, you should already know the truth, don't sell it, tell us what's going on?" ”

I nodded, pulled a chair from the table and sat down.

In my mind, I already have a relatively complete outline of this whole thing.

Now all I have to do is to tie them all together and tell them accurately.

Swallowing my throat, I cleared my throat, and I said: "Back then, Taoyuan Farmhouse occupied very much farmland to build a restaurant, and the person who reported Lao Tian was Lao Yu. ”

When I finished saying this, I raised my eyes and looked at Mother Wu, although she still lowered her head, her body trembled slightly.

And Liu Kui, who was on the side, also changed his face.

I continued:

"Lao Tian gave himself a little because of this. However, all this did not prevent the Taoyuan farmhouse from being demolished, and those restaurants, gardens and other things, should be demolished, and none of them remained. In the end, the peach grove behind the chicken farm remained. After Lao Tian's death, his family, in addition to grief, learned that the whistleblower was Lao Yu through some means. So, Lao Tian's wife, this Wu's mother, came to Lao Yu's house and became a cooking aunt. ”

Hearing me say this, everyone's eyes are looking at the woman next to the blind man of the line king.

The woman finally looked up, and when I saw her clearly, I gasped despite the preparation.

This face is very scary, distorted.

The woman's eyes, nose and mouth have completely melted together for a while, as if she is looking in a mirror. Her upper mouth was flipped on the net, and her teeth were exposed for a long time, and her teeth were already yellow and black.

Listening to my words, an expression appeared on Wu's mother's face.

Then she was noncommittal, and she did not refute it.

And I said:

"Every day, Wu's mother will stew a pot of old hen soup, this chicken soup has to be very simple, you don't need to put anything, just stew it with water for seven or eight hours, and you can boil out the richest fragrance of the hen. Even if Lao Yu started to breed genetically modified chickens, what he let his family eat was still the best and most sophisticated old hens.

Wu's mother's cooking skills are very good, especially this chicken soup, which the whole family likes to drink.

While she was making soup, the wormwood smelled on the path outside the kitchen.

Wormwood is divided into wormwood and wormwood. If you don't look closely, there is almost no difference between the two. And, it smells, and the difference isn't much. However, there is a strict distinction between them in terms of use effect.

Wormwood is a kind of wild vegetable that can be used as food, generally used to make wowotou, wormwood baba, the taste is sweet to use, and it also has the effect of defeating fire. And absinthe, which is used more in medicine. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is used to make cold compresses for trauma, and in Western medicine, it is widely used to extract anesthetics or painkillers.

Therefore, bitter herbs are not edible, especially not taken with oily meat. If it is mixed and eaten, it is easy to paralyze the nerves of the brain, and after a long time, it is easy to hallucinate. ”

When I said this, I saw that Wu's mother's body began to tremble slightly.

After a pause, I looked at her and continued: "Mother Wu, Lao Yu's whole family, you must have added a lot of absinthe to this old hen soup that you drink every day, right?" ”
