Chapter 99: Yan Village's White Affairs
After leaving Guanshan Temple, Chen Yimu returned to Xiaopinglou.
He took the five goblin seeds one by one, boiled a pot of boiling water, and brewed a cup of tea.
Under the eager eyes of Li Fangqing and Yan Da, they really couldn't stand it, so they soaked two more cups.
Looking at the demonic expressions of the two, Chen Yimu seemed to think of the ordinary and delicious look in the cartoon "Little Master of China" that he watched when he was a child.
Little took a sip, another sip, another sip......
Jingle bells!
"Hey, second uncle." Yan Da answered the phone.
"Xiaoda, Uncle Lin has passed away, you, as a junior, have time to come back and send ......," Second Uncle Yan said on the phone.
"Okay, then I'll go back later." Yan Daying hung up the phone after getting down.
Li Fangqing asked, "Is there something at home?" ”
"Well, Uncle Lin passed away, and my second uncle asked me to go back and send the old man to his home." Yan Da replied.
"Uh-huh, go ahead, buy something and go back."
An idea suddenly popped into Chen Yimu's mind, and it began to boil in his mind at the moment.
"Yan Da, let's go back to the village with you, how about it?" Chen Yimu asked.
"Yes."
Although Yan Da didn't know what his master was going to do, he still nodded.
Li Fangqing raised his eyes and looked at Chen Yimu, and always felt that Chen Yimu suddenly said such a sentence, he must have other ideas.
Chen Yimu took a sip of tea, and his mind was already far away.
Out of the small flat building, the three of them had a simple lunch on the street, and Li Fangqing bought two boxes of wine and put them in the trunk.
Yan Village, originally called Yanjia Village, is dominated by the surname Yan in the village.
Yan Da has never seen his parents since he was born, and he was raised by his second uncle, and this Uncle Lin is the village chief here.
Uncle Lin joined Yan Village, or Wenqing, and the village elected him as the village head, and this work has been done for decades.
The people in the village basically grew up under the watchful eye of Uncle Lin, so they naturally wanted to go back to see him off.
The car drove into the boundary of Yan Village, and a white cloth was hung on the archway at the entrance of the village.
Stopping the car at the entrance of the village, Yan Da moved the two boxes of wine in the trunk, and the three of them walked towards the village.
White cloth is hung at the door of every house in the village, and white cloth strips are also tied on the left hand of the old and young.
"Ada, you're back."
"Brother Da, what are you carrying? Isn't it delicious......"
"I haven't seen you for a while, but this kid has grown a lot stronger."
“……”
When the people in the village saw Yan Da coming back, they stepped forward to greet them one by one.
The child hurriedly ran into Second Uncle Yan's house and told him the news of Yan Da's return.
"Xiaoda, you're back." Second Uncle Yan stood at the door and said with a smile.
Second Uncle Yan, a swarthy and thin man, if he wasn't in his thirties, others would still think he was fifty or sixty years old.
"Second uncle, why are you like this?" Yan Da put down the wine, looked at Second Uncle Yan, and asked distressedly.
"Recently, the village next door has been busy building greenhouses, so I went to help, and I have 80 yuan a day." Second Uncle Yan happily gestured.
"Didn't I leave you any money, so you don't have to work......"
While Yan Da was talking, Second Uncle Yan looked at Li Fangqing, looked excited, and said, "I remember you, you are Xiaoda's master, please take a seat." ”
Second Uncle Yan hurriedly brought a chair, pulled up his clothes and wiped them.
Li Fangqing hugged Second Uncle Yan and said, "You're welcome, Second Uncle Yan, sit down, we have been in the car for an hour, and it is more comfortable to stand for a stop." ”
"Then little brother, you sit ......," Second Uncle Yan greeted Chen Yimu.
"No, no, no."
Yan Da grabbed Second Uncle Yan and said, "Second Uncle, don't be busy, when will Uncle Lin be buried?" ”
"Early tomorrow morning."
"Yan Da, you go to Uncle Lin's house to offer incense first, and we'll walk around the village." Chen Yimu said.
"Good!"
Yan Da followed Second Uncle Yan to Uncle Lin's house, while Chen Yimu and the two walked around the village.
Chen Yimu saw Li Fangqing's constipated face, smiled, and said, "You can really do it, you can hold it for so long, it's very uncomfortable, aren't you curious why I came here?" ”
"Uh-huh, uh-huh......" Li Fangqing nodded hurriedly.
Chen Yimu glanced at him and said, "What happened in the middle of the mountain last time made me curious about something!" ”
"Do you think that when a person dies, or when he is buried, there will be other ghosts to plunder the soul of the recently deceased?"
"Ah!!h Li Fangqing was surprised, and even a little frightened.
"That's why I'm here to take a look, if there is, then ......," Chen Yimu said and made a motion to wipe his neck.
The two of them walked around the village, entered a small shop, bought some peanuts, and sat in front of the shop to eat.
After a while, Yan Da called, and then came to them.
"Master, Master, I'll take you to eat some of our specialties here." Yan Da said.
"Okay!"
"Call your second uncle too."
"The second uncle wants to help at Uncle Lin's house, and there are more guests at night."
Yan Da led the two of them slowly towards the entrance of the village, walked along the main road to the east, passed through a rice field, and came to a house.
Boom!
"Boss Hu, pick up the guests!" Yan Da opened his throat and shouted.
"Come on, come on, listen to the voice and know it's you Yan Da!"
When the door opened, a middle-aged man appeared, and said with a smile: "Please inside!" ”
Passing through the house and coming to the backyard, there is a table of eight immortals, which is wiped clean, and there is a pot of pothos on the table, which is decorated.
"Don't you have to order food?" Chen Yimu asked, because after the three of them sat down, Boss Hu didn't ask what they meant.
Li Fangqing also looked at Boss Hu who walked away suspiciously, turned his head to look at Yan Da, and thought, what is this kid doing?
Yan Da said with a smile: "You don't need to order food here, it's all home-cooked, what's burned or something." ”
"And this kind of shop, it's rare." Both of them found it very new.
Half an hour later, the dishes were ready.
A plate of domestic chicken, a plate of crabs, a plate of braised wild crucian carp, a plate of small green vegetables, and three bowls of rice.
The dishes are average, the portions are quite sufficient, and it doesn't taste good?
With doubts, the two picked up a piece of chicken with chopsticks and tasted it.
"Delicious, delicious!" Chen Yimu and Li Fangqing spoke in unison, and their expressions suddenly lit up.
"You eat slowly, and I won't bother you." Boss Hu happily walked away.
Yan Da turned his head to see that half of the native chickens were gone, and hurriedly shouted: "Oh, Master, you slow down, leave me a little!" ”
After eating, I was worried about where to sleep at night.
Second Uncle Yan's house was surrounded by four walls, and there was only an old single bed, but it was not enough for two people to sleep, so he decided to spend the night in the car.
And after Yan Da had eaten, he went to Uncle Lin to keep vigil, which is also a custom in the village......
