Chapter Twenty-Eight: Half a Pound of Sichuan Peppercorns
"It's easy to eat, but it's hard to spit it out......"
Tang Wuzhou listened to it and pondered this sentence repeatedly, of course he knew that things could not be eaten casually, but the words that this woman said at the moment were obviously not as simple as the literal meaning.
So he asked the woman, "You mean, the dog's brain ......?"
"Man is the spirit of all things, and this arrogant self-perception makes you dare to stuff anything into your stomach. As for what exactly is eaten, can it be eaten? You humans have never been careless......"
Hearing her say "you humans", Tang Wuzhou was stunned for a moment.
What does she mean by that?
Could it be that this woman is not the same kind as herself.
This thought made Tang Wuzhou's scalp tingle.
I saw that the woman was still sitting on the stool, and said unhurriedly:
"It is an individual who has desire, but few people understand that desire is actually a double-edged sword, and once indulged, it will inevitably be counterattacked. There are so many desires in this world that are difficult to fill, but only the appetite is the most difficult to control. ”
Tang Wuzhou agreed with this statement.
My grandfather, the father of Tang Sihai and Tang Wuzhou, just indulged his desires and died before he was sixty years old.
Grandpa liked to drink wine and eat meat before his death, and he never left his hand or wine.
Grandma made trouble with him every day because of this, but grandpa's brain at that time was completely paralyzed by alcohol, and he couldn't listen to the persuasion of his family.
In the end, he was blinded, his body was completely collapsed, and he went to the hospital for examination, but none of his organs were intact.
There is no rule of law for this disease, and you can only wait for death.
When lying on the bed to eat and drink, there was a bottle of liquor next to the pillow. The smell of feces and urine in the house, the smell of tobacco and alcohol was mixed together, and the stench was unusually unpleasant.
When he was dying, Grandpa still stretched out his hands in the air and waved.
Seeing that he had been refusing to breathe, grandma understood something, she handed over a wine bottle, and grandpa grabbed it and poured it into his mouth a few sips before closing his eyes with satisfaction.
This is my grandfather, who is a heavy drinker.
As far as I can remember, he once said something to me with a wine bottle and braised pork in one hand:
"Xiaofan, this thing of desire is used for catharsis, and holding it back will only cause problems. People should live a little more casually. In this world, no one knows which one will come first, the accident or the future. ”
When Grandpa said these words, his mouth was full of wine.
I nodded, but my dad told me, "Let's live well in the present and plan for the future, even if the accident comes, don't be afraid." ”
My dad seemed to be right, and I nodded again.
In the last days of my grandfather's life, he was not more than 60 years old, he was incontinent and had a very poor quality of life.
I told my dad that my grandfather was really pitiful, and my dad touched my head: "Xiaofan, if you want to live with dignity in your old age, when you are young, you must learn to control your desires." ”
……
……
Tang Muzhou's cry continued to echo in the back kitchen, but it didn't sound as painful as before.
Tang Wuzhou looked at the woman, his voice trembling slightly:
"My son, what's wrong?"
The woman said: "The dog you ate in Chuannan County is the ancestor of dogs, Tang Wuzhou, you are lucky, you didn't eat a single bite of dog meat on such a large table, but who knew that it was over, but your own son ate the dog's brain." All the aura of this animal is in the brain, your son ate the brain, and was entangled by the ancestor of the dog, so it will become like this, and it is useless for you to take him to see the sick wherever you go. ”
“…… So what should I do? ”
The woman stroked her hair: "In this world, I am the only one who can save Tang Muzhou." ”
Tang Wuzhou glanced at the iron bucket that was boiling on the fire, under the ferocious attack of the fire, normal people had long been silent, but his son's cry sounded very powerful.
This shows that he is safe.
Just when he was still about to ask something, the woman looked at her watch: "When the time is up, Tang Muzhou can come out." ”
With that, the woman got up and strode toward the bucket.
Tang Wuzhou also hurriedly followed.
The iron bucket more than three feet high was hanging in the air, and even Tang Wuzhou, a man, couldn't reach the edge with his hand, not to mention this woman who was half a head shorter than Tang Wuzhou.
She stood in front of the stove and looked at the fire, reached out and touched a mechanism on the stove, and the fire was extinguished after a whirl.
At the same time, Tang Wuzhou heard the sound of gears turning.
The stove began to sink.
The large iron bucket on top also gradually moved downward.
The bucket stopped as it approached the ground.
Tang Wuzhou just wanted to step forward, but was stopped by the woman: "It's just Tietong, it's just been burned by fire for so long, as soon as your body is pasted, you can't lose a layer of skin!" ”
Tang Wuzhou said: "Then I ......"
The woman ignored her, and carefully buckled the gusset from a foot-high place on the edge of the iron bucket.
Suddenly, a strong hemp fragrance burst out from that place and rushed straight towards the human face.
The smell was so strong that Tang Wuzhou sneezed several times.
The water came out of it, and Tang Wuzhou finally saw his son.
I saw that my son was sitting naked (harmoniously) in the iron bucket, the water around him was smoking, and Tang Muzhou was also outside the father, crying non-stop.
Tang Wuzhou comforted his son not to be afraid, while looking around the iron bucket. He found that around the inside of the bucket was a thick layer of silver plastic.
This thing looks like a foam heat insulation film, but it is bulging inside, and something should have been added to it.
Although he didn't know what this was, Tang Wuzhoumi understood that it was no wonder that his son was alive and well in the hot iron bucket, and he could still scream.
It's because of that there is such a layer of things.
The woman on the side said to him, "Okay, Tang Wuzhou, get him out." ”
Tang Wuzhou immediately stretched out his hand and stepped forward: "Come, son, don't be afraid, dad is here......"
When he was taken out, Tang Wuzhou saw that there were a lot of peppercorns in the water that his son had soaked, one by one, which was boiled in the water and was big and soft.
The pungent hemp fragrance made Tang Wuzhou's nose feel uncomfortable again.
I endured it and didn't let that sneeze out.
Although there is that layer of "heat insulation film", the temperature of the water is still not low, and his son's body is also soaked and red, Tang Wuzhou took off his clothes and covered his son, and coaxed him to finally stop crying.
The woman dropped the peppercorns on the ground, and said with a sigh of tsk:
"Speaking of which, that dog ancestor is really difficult to deal with, I added half a pound of peppercorns to temporarily suppress its aura......"
