Chapter 13: Braised Hoofs

When I heard Zheng Long say this, my breathing also began to rapid, and I quickly looked up and looked around, as if the man was beside me. took out the phone and opened WeChat, but his avatar was still blank.

Nothing new came, as if the person didn't exist at all.

I asked Zheng Long again, "Do you know who that man is?" ”

Speaking of that man, Zheng Long had palpitations, and for a long time, he hid in the air conditioner and never dared to come out again.

The new owner stayed in the house every day, and the three ghosts became cautious, and he would talk to them, and Zheng Long couldn't hear them very clearly, and he didn't know what they were talking about.

The new homeowners come and go every day and look busy. When Zheng Long left, he would run out of the air conditioner, and the three ghosts were still standing in their respective places as before, without interfering with each other.

Later, I moved in, and everything was restored like this, and the three ghost puppets appeared, still very afraid of Zheng Long.

But Zheng Long was no longer the same as before, that man brought him unprecedented fear, and he felt that his appearance must have some extraordinary purpose.

I looked at him for a while, and then suddenly said, "The three of them are so pitiful, why don't you let them go?" ”

Of course, Zheng Long knew who the three I was talking about, and when he heard this, he shook his head and sighed twice: "I can't help it, someone won't let them go, let me watch them." ”

"Who!" My heart tightened. Without waiting for him to speak, he continued to ask: "Is it a woman, dressed in black, and you can't even see her appearance clearly?" ”

"Yes, you've seen her?" Zheng Long looked at me indifferently.

I frowned, didn't answer his words, I asked him directly: "Where is your home, tell me ......"

Zheng Long's family lives on the outskirts of the city, and it is said to be home, but it is actually an urban village that is temporarily rented. A small room, toilets and toilets are shared.

The woman numbly cooked the meal and beckoned her two children to come and eat, she was at best thirty-two or thirteen years old, but she was dressed and dressed to give people the feeling of vicissitudes.

I sat aside and waited for the mother and son to finish eating, and the woman finally relented when she saw that I was still not leaving.

"Before Zheng Long died, he liked to eat the braised hoofs I made the most, but that thing is expensive, and you can only eat it once a month!" Speaking of this, her eyes were slightly red: "When he went out that day, I felt that something was wrong, my left eye kept beating hard, and I specifically told him to be careful." ”

Saying that, she sighed: "I really regret it, when Zheng Long left, he asked me to make a braised hoof, and he said he wanted to eat it." I fooled him at the time, saying that I couldn't make ends meet this month. I can't think of ......."

Speaking of this, her tone began to choke: "I knew that I should have made him a meal that day, so that there would not be so many regrets, Zheng Long has really suffered in his life, he has no parents since he was a child, and in the end he is ......."

Hearing this, I knew that the woman was going to cry, so I quickly stood up: "Where is the vegetable market near you, I'll go buy a hoof, and you make one?" ”

Seeing me say this, the woman hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Back at the place where they lived, I was carrying two big hooves in a plastic bag, and I said to Zheng Long's wife, I will take one with me, and keep the other one for the children to eat.

After a while, the two hooves were boiling.

When the woman brought one of them to the table, the two children scrambled to eat it, even though they had already eaten.

In the city, many children will not eat this kind of big meat, they feel tired, even if these things are made by the chef of a five-star hotel and placed on the table, many people will not taste a bite.

But for Zheng Long's two children, it can be regarded as delicious.

Watching them scramble, the woman was a little embarrassed, she looked at me and said to the two children that they should not rush to eat, there are all.

Although they heard their mother say this, the two children still ignored it and stuffed the meat into their mouths in large gulps. The younger one almost choked.

The woman quickly poured them water to drink, and I silently picked up the other hoof that I had packed and left.

After opening the door, Zheng Long was gone.

I walked to the cabinet air conditioner, pulled open the air outlet and looked inside, Zheng Long really shrank inside, looking at me defensively.

Without speaking to him, I walked over to the table and opened the hoof. Instantly, a scent came to your face.

The crispy and browned skin of the meat was wrapped in a layer of red sauce, and when I saw the scene of the two children eating it just now, I knew that the meat and bones inside were already very soft.

The scent filled the air, and I took a deep breath and I felt my mouth water.

turned around, and sure enough, I saw Zheng Long.

"This hoof?" His voice trembled a little.

"Your wife made it, your two children love to eat it very much, and I brought one back, you are blessed......"

With that, I pushed the hoof towards him.

He also sat down, I went to the kitchen to get him a pair of chopsticks, he looked at me with some disbelief, I smiled at him: "Eat, your wife took a lot of effort to make it, I kept trying to steal food on the way, but I still held back." ”

He took my chopsticks and said thank you.

The hoof burns very well and the color is bright. Zheng Long lifted the bone in the middle and pulled it gently, and the bone immediately separated from the flesh.

"Separation of flesh and blood...... these four words popped into my head. When I saw Zheng Long, I thought of the mother and son just now, and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

Zheng Long threw away the bones and began to eat the hoofs in a big gulp, his mouth was full of oil, and he ate deliciously.

Seeing that I couldn't stop swallowing, he said to me: "Or, you can also taste it, my wife's craftsmanship is very good." ”

Hurriedly waved my hand and said no, the taste of this hoof should be very good, I do want to eat it, but I won't eat it now, after all, this is Zheng Long's last meal, and he is the master.

"The braised hooves are still the most authentic in our old family. My wife's craftsmanship is really amazing, I fell in love with her because she made this dish for me to eat, at that time, she was only 20 years old, and she looked so good......"

Zheng Long muttered as he ate, his eyes full of memories.

After watching him finish his last bite, I touched his bulging belly, leaned back in his chair, gasped heavily, and said, "I'm leaving, thank you!" ”

After saying that, his figure gradually blurred.

Turning around, I saw three other ghosts, all standing neatly together. The woman pulled the child and seemed to have something to say to me. I opened my mouth first:

"I know everything about you, but no one will believe me when I say it. Everything has retribution, and it's good that you believe that. ”
