Chapter 125: Touching the Melon
Not to mention that the road is extremely slow, the speed of marching and fighting is average, watching the trees on both sides swaying backwards, and the stove in his hand flashing with golden light, no matter how he covers it, Le Zhengyu still feels that such a leaky carriage is not as warm as a car.
They plan to go to the old base of the farm to have a look, maybe there is something wrong with the cattle and sheep there, and they may be able to help a little if they go.
The farm here has been taken over by some businessmen who have frequent customers of the restaurant, and the owner behind the scenes does not know how many batches have been changed, and it is not clear what is at stake at all, so the cattle and sheep will be slaughtered directly here, and then the meat dealers will buy the goods, and then flow to the restaurants and restaurants.
In normal times, those who have a little faΓ§ade have their own stakes and fields, and there are naturally people who specialize in raising livestock for their masters, so it can be said that all the stakes are the master's minions.
What is in demand, what is in shortage, there is a housekeeper in the house who controls it single-handedly, and will directly contact the people on the pile, and such people do not buy meat at the butcher shop in the capital.
Le Zhengyu's Liuma hot pot restaurant naturally has its own piles, not only stakes, but also special breeders, but she didn't directly ask for this slaughterhouse from the second lady at that time.
On the one hand, things are too complicated, and she doesn't have the heart to do this at all; On the other hand, she doesn't like this place, after all, it is such a bloody place, since she married the prince, she Le Zhengyu can be regarded as a princess who does not worry about food and clothing, Fan Bu is holding on to such a place and does not let go.
This property has been shelved for so long, she didn't think about it, until that day, Fan Ye clearly explained their business model and purchase channels of Liuma hot pot in the letter, she studied it carefully, looked at the place on the letter is very familiar, and finally remembered that it was a small part of the dowry left by her mother.
At that time, she wondered, how could this mother give herself a dowry in such a bloody and violent slaughterhouse, isn't that bad luck? So she wanted to see for herself.
When I arrived at the place, it was a desert surrounded by no people, and if it was summer, I was afraid that it would be a lush forest. But at this time, the leaves of the yellow flowers are decaying, and when the cold wind blows, a few dry and withered leaves will fall on the bare branches, and dance with the wind, spin a few times in the air, and then land safely.
If you follow Fan Ye's inquiry, the slaughterhouse should be here, but there is a path in front of it, and on both sides are small rivers that are frozen, and through the ice you can faintly see the direction of the river below.
The three men dismounted from the carriage, tied their horses to a more secluded bush beside them, and walked along the path in the middle of the river, which became narrower and narrower, almost allowing only two people to pass.
There is no trace of people's lives, this is impossible! If it's a slaughterhouse, it must be a lot of vendors, at least at this time, the meat won't spoil, right? At one point, they wondered if they had made a mistake.
"Yu Yu, we won't break into some forbidden forest like last time, right? That's going to be a bad luck. Even in winter, Feng Xie did not forget to maintain his appearance as a handsome son, the fan did not leave his hand, and from time to time he opened the fan a few times, and saw Le Zhengyu tighten his heavy coat again.
"Lord Yu, is there a place like Yue Guo in Jimo? It's the kind of forbidden place in the royal family, the kind that most people don't know? Feng Xie was not discouraged when he didn't get a response from Le Zhengyu, and he turned his conversation to Jimo Yu.
"How can this king know that you are not older than this king? You don't know, how can this king know! β
Jimo Yu's words made Le Zhengyu laugh, looking at the appearance of the phoenix evil, Le Zhengyu opened his mouth and said mysteriously: "Wind demon, don't you think there is something wrong with the current situation?" You keep talking like this, beware of being haunted by evil spirits like last time. β
Feng Xie looked at the two people holding hands in front of him complainingly, and followed behind step by step, but he didn't dare to speak anymore.
The wind rustled the few trees, and the sparrows chirped in the treetops, and in such a quiet environment, the three of them pricked up their ears and listened to the movements around them.
When we walked two hundred meters inside, we could occasionally hear a few cows and sheep crying, and the closer we went, the sound became clearer, not so much the cry of the ox as the cry of sorrow, a cry.
Gradually, it seemed that smoke could be seen rising, and further inside, there was a rotten hut, which was alone here, very piercing, independent of the cold wind, but did not fall.
"Be careful!" Jimo shook his body and whispered, "Someone." β
Looking through a small crack in the thatched house, there were two people laughing, two men of medium stature, with coarse linen scarves tied around their heads, short knives at their waists, and shoes made of animal skins on their feet, and their whole bodies were filled with a strong aura of anger and ruffianism.
The sound of sorrow came from not far away, and broke into the minds of the three men, and the voice was filled with deep sorrow and pain, none of them had ever been to such a place, and none of them knew that when a cow was to be slaughtered, the cow would make such a terrible cry.
Further inside, there was an iron gate, locked from the inside, which did not seem to welcome outsiders to enter, but fortunately, the wall was not too high, and they could easily jump over it without anyone noticing.
Le Zhengyu and the three of them quickly dodged the two men guarding the door, and quietly entered the courtyard, all around, with a rusty big iron pot in the center, no one guarded it, only on the log pillar erected by the beam, there was a cow that was still bleeding.
There are countless wounds on the old cow's body, all of them are wide open, and the blood holes in the black holes seem to show the world and God the unforgivable atrocities committed by the human beings here.
It seemed that it had just been skinned, and the fresh flesh was still steaming in the cold air, as if it was exuding the last residual warmth, and the blood flowed down the neck into the iron pot, and at the same time solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a fishy smell came to the nose, and none of the three wanted to vomit.
They didn't think much about it, and when they saw such an ordinary slaughter scene, several people just frowned slightly and continued to walk inside vigilantly.
It is an abandoned mansion, a three-hall courtyard,ββ consisting of three longitudinal halls: "foyer", "main hall" and "back hall".
Only the middle of the three rooms in the north room opens to the outside as a hall house. The two rooms on both sides only open to the hall, forming a suite, becoming a pattern of one light and two darkness.
In ancient times, like this kind of courtyard, the house was also divided into dignity and humility, and the hall house was a place for family members to live, entertain relatives, or worship ancestors during the New Year's Festival, and there were more bedrooms on both sides.
In addition, the bedrooms on the east and west sides are also divided into dignity and inferiority, under the system of monogamy and multiple concubines, the east side is honored and lived by the main room, and the west side is humble and lived by the side room.
East and west ear room - can be opened alone, can also be connected to the main room, generally used as a bedroom or study.
The east and west wings are inhabited by the younger generations, and the wings are also bright and dark, with a living room in the middle and bedrooms on both sides, and a south side can also be divided into a kitchen or dining room.
The general courtyard has two courtyards, the large ones have three or four courtyards and flower courtyards, the two courtyards are generally built between the east and west wings, and the outer courtyards are generally inhabited by slaves.
Between the inner and outer courtyards generally build luxurious hanging flower doors, the role is to separate the inner and outer courtyards, there is a shadow wall in the hanging flower door, only open when there are major activities, the old time said that the door of the big family does not go out, the second door does not step, both refers to this door, the male servant of the family is generally not allowed to enter this door.
These are once luxurious and wealthy, from this architectural pattern can be seen, once upon a time this place is afraid of a feng shui treasure land, the three of them walked all the way, such as entering no man's land, from the gate to the inside, roughly turned around and looked around, and the courtyard of ordinary people in the capital is no different.
But it was such a courtyard, and what still lingered in their ears at the moment was the mournful sound of animals, which seemed to come from all directions, and seemed to come from the ground, always hovering around people, virtual and real, and some could not distinguish between the real and the false.
Walked back to the door, outside the door is the living room, the gatehouse, the carriage room and other "outer houses", inside the door is the main living bedroom "inner house", still no different, this is a long-abandoned house, what happened to the cow that they saw just been slaughtered?
Almost the entire courtyard was looked around, and there was still no sign of human activity, out of the inner courtyard there were wild grasses, that is, the outer courtyard was dilapidated, and occasionally a few old clothes of women and men were thrown in front of the door, and they had long been mixed with loess and could not see the original appearance.
"Did you hear the cow's cry? This son's goosebumps are all up, why is this place so weird? β
Feng Xie could no longer bear the kind of heartfelt sad voice that came from time to time in his head, like being tormented by pain, the most miserable, the most unbearable, and he tentatively whispered like Le Zhengyu and Jimo.
"Did you hear that, too? I thought I was having auditory hallucinations. Le Zhengyu looked back at Feng Xie in surprise, and then the two of them looked at Jimo in unison, the little eyes of hope and waiting, as if the answer they hoped to get was no, they really had auditory hallucinations.
But Ji Mo glanced at the two of them lightly, and interrupted their reverie with three words that were equally low but short.
"I hear you."
Le Zhengyu is powerless to look at the sky, why is there such a bizarre thing everywhere? Wherever he goes, he can encounter such strange and inexplicable things, and no matter what method he used last time, the divine beast couldn't summon it again.
This time, the cow died immediately after, or in broad daylight, died bizarrely, is it some kind of animal physique?
