Chapter 18 The Study of Duds
What is going on with this change in atmosphere, Chen Yixuan did not ask in detail. I saw that the sixth master toasted a few people, and after drinking for a long time, the sixth master took out the previous handkerchief from his trouser pocket and unfolded it. Only then did he realize that it was a bullet, a stink bullet that had not been fired, and there were traces of a firing pin in the tail. The sixth master handed over the handkerchief with the gun and bullet, and said, "Look, is this our family's work?" The old man took it, squinted and turned it over a few times, handed it back and said, "This is my brother's job!" ”
"My Uncle Fu? Isn't he in the mill? The sixth master blurted out. The old man nodded and said, "Now it's in the yarn factory, this is what he did a few years ago!" The sixth master smiled and said, "In the second half of the morning (afternoon), I will go to the yarn factory to find him!" "I need to explain here that in the BOE dialect, the term "so-and-so of the family" usually refers to the relatives of the family who are not compatriots, and the old man here said, "the brother of the family" refers to his cousin who did not come out of the five suits. And when those young people heard the words blurted out by the sixth master, they also showed an expression of sudden realization, obviously those young people had not fully believed in the fact that the sixth master was their relative before, and when they saw the sixth master blurt out, they also believed it.
The sixth master joked: "My Fu uncle! I love to eat stinky tofu, and the one who sells stinky tofu is most afraid of him, because once the service is slow, he has chopsticks with a tip, and the two chopsticks go down together, and it is a string at that time, and a mouth, and it enters the mouth, haha......" The old man and the young people also laughed, and the old man said, "My brother!" I still have this bad habit after so many years! But he will never give less money, he is a person who would rather die than cheat! ”
The sixth master took the box from Chen Yixuan's hand, handed it to the old man and said: "Master, the grandson has nothing to respect, a few dollars, don't be too little, subsidize the family, buy more food and drink, don't buy a house and buy land!" The old man pouted with his hand, and with a bang, the red paper roll was broken, the ocean was scattered, and the eyes of the young people were straight. A box of oceans! The old man was at a loss and said, "This ...... This ......" The sixth master closed the box, pushed it into the old man's arms and said, "Grandson honors you, you can take it!" It seems that the old man is at a loss for the good things in front of him, but his IQ is first-class, and he loses no time in standing up and saying, "It's been bothering for a long time, and it's time for us to leave!" The sixth master hurriedly lifted the curtain, and then said to Chen Yixuan, "Bring those two things too!" Chen Yixuan understood, ran to the horse, and picked up the two guns and bullets. While being polite to the old man, the sixth master took the things in his hand and said: "I have delayed the master's trip, I will only set off now, it will be dark at most Fengtiewo (Fengdengwu - author's note), the road is not smooth, bring this!" Without waiting for the old man to react, the youngest young man reached out and took one, skillfully opened the box, inserted the magazine, pulled the leash, closed the nose, stuck it in the sleeve, and carried it on his back. The level of proficiency even surprised Chen Yixuan, a police officer. The old man got into the car with another one. The young man with the gun on his back flicked his whip and shouted, "Drive!" The mule cart started, and the sixth master waved goodbye to the old man! The three people in the car also waved goodbye......
After returning to the guest house for a lunch break, Chen Yixuan turned over and couldn't sleep! What happened in the past two days is really weird, how can this sixth master have such a relative, judging from the title, it should be the family, but those people obviously don't know the sixth master. Besides, the sixth master is an immortal, why is this immortal so young? What about the children in the sorghum field on the way? So how does sorghum grow such a strange fruit...... He tossed and turned the cakes, but he couldn't sleep, and the sixth master asked with a smile: "Are you itchy and pimple?" Chen Yixuan simply sat up, and the sixth master also sat up, picked up a cigarette, handed one to the sixth master, lit one himself, took a puff, and said, "I really can't understand the events of the past two days, what method did you use to make them sit down and drink?" The child in the sorghum field......"
The sixth master smiled and said, "After you left, the old man asked me, 'Did the boss recognize the wrong person?' I smiled and said, "No, are you the father-in-law of the old Zhang family in the Qimen of Nancun, and this is the father-in-law of the old Zhao family in the East Village?" (To explain here, in the BOE dialect, the Zhang'er's family refers to the father-in-law's home, and the Zhang'er's family in a certain place means that this person is the son-in-law of a certain place!) You have four sons, two daughters, and now a grandson, just two weeks old? The old man nodded and replied, 'Yes!' I said, 'That's right, do you know why this immortal can know 800 years before and 800 years later?' For example, if he wants to know what happened hundreds of years ago, he can go to hundreds of years ago to see it, and if he wants to know what will happen in a few hundred years, he can go to see it in a few hundred years. Your old (you) have a total of eight grandsons, and now there is just one, and there will be seven more in the future, and this sixth grandson will cultivate the immortal path in the future! He has cultivated the Immortal Dao, of course, he can come over and take a look, this is me! I'm here decades later! Because of our Zhuangnan tomb robbery case, involving the dragon vein dispute, I came to deal with it by the will of heaven, I have never seen grandpa since I was born, by the way, come to see grandpa, invite grandpa to have a meal. ’”
Chen Yixuan's eyes were about to fall out in surprise at that time, immortals can still play like this! If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have thought of it even if he killed him! Chen Yixuan was still puzzled, and asked again: "That teenage kid who broke sorghum buns, didn't you use some spell on him, why is his expression so strange?" The sixth master said: "No, to be precise, he is now a little more than 11 years old, and he is still more than two months old and twelve years old." Chen Yixuan looked puzzled: "How do you know so detailed?" The sixth master said lightly: "That's my dad." This time, Chen Yixuan almost fell out of bed in shock! The sixth master continued: "The fungus we eat is the result of the lesion caused by sorghum smut, and the sorghum is disturbed by the fungus, and it will produce this kind of fruit, which we call 'Baotou' (Baotou, the dialect of the Jingdong generation, calling a structure that is knotted together as a small spherical honey as Bao'er, such as mulberry!). This kind of thing is called the head of the sorghum, is that there is a variety of sorghum spikes no different, but the shell is a fungus, so it is called, other areas are called "no rice"), if you don't care about it, after maturity, it will become a bag of black powder, the powder drifts away with the wind, everywhere you go, the sorghum will bear this thing in the next year, so it is also a good thing to break it down as soon as possible, not only to avoid the sorghum to continue to absorb nutrients, but also to avoid the fungal inheritance in the coming year, the folk customs in this area are very simple, no matter whose land, Breaking this thing is beneficial and harmless, so the host will not object when he sees it, which is not naughty! And if life is difficult, this thing can be taken back to satisfy hunger. "Isn't it more labor-saving to cut it directly!" Chen Yixuan muttered, and the sixth master smiled, "The people in this place do not grow this kind of sorghum because it is delicious or has a high yield, but because it grows very tall and can prevent the negative impact of floods. Keeping the straw is also useful! As for that expression! Father and son nature, my dad saw me, as if he had seen it, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it, of course he was confused! ”
The sixth master lit another cigarette, and then said: "27 years later, I will be born, the old man you see today is my grandfather, the tall man, his younger brother, is my lord, those two young men, one is my eldest uncle, the other is my third uncle." Chen Yixuan thought of the young man playing with the gun and asked: "Your third uncle is only seventeen or eighteen years old, he doesn't look like he has been a soldier, how can he be so familiar with that gun, like a veteran?" The sixth master smiled and said, "Our family makes guns for sale, so I brought the stink bombs found at the scene and asked my master to identify them!" Chen Yixuan asked again: Then where are we going in the afternoon?" The sixth master turned over and said: "Huaxin Spinning Factory, go find my uncle, the bullet was made by him, I have instructed the police to buy two live carp and a jar of stinky tofu, the old man likes to eat these two things!" Chen Yixuan said in his heart, good guy, two live carp, this year's live carp is the most extravagant fresh!
In the afternoon, Chen Yixuan carried two live carp, both of which were made a small hole in the water fin, and wore them with a rope, each of which was about 1 and a half catties, such a large live carp was very expensive at that time, because the size was just right for the plate, 8 cents and 1 catty, and the price of these two fish could be 5 buckets of corn! put the stinky tofu jar in the saddlebag and set off with the sixth master.
When I arrived at the yarn factory, because I was wearing a police uniform, someone immediately came out to receive me, and I heard that I was going to find a fitter master, so I was going to send someone to call, and the sixth master waved his hand to stop it, saying, "Take us to the workshop to visit." Although the people in the yarn factory didn't know what was going on, of course they had to listen to the boss's words, so they took the sixth master and Chen Yixuan to find someone.
After meeting, the sixth master was busy calling the uncle (the generation is the grandfather, the age is not very old), took off the gloves, went up to shake hands, the other party was sincerely afraid, the sixth master did not elaborate on the relationship between relatives, just took out the gift, and the other party was even more at a loss. After that, the sixth master took out a handkerchief and held it up to the other party, who glanced at the warhead, nodded affirmatively and said, "I did it." (Tangshan dialect makes the "beating" sound) The sixth master asked again: "Can you determine who you sold it to?" The other party looked at the face of the sixth master and said, "You have to look at the gunpowder to know!" The sixth master nodded, only to see that his big hand broke the bullet, and then pulled out the bullet, opened his other hand, and poured the gunpowder into the palm of his hand. He looked at the gunpowder and looked up and said to the sixth master: "Even the guns and bullets have been sold to the relatives of the Lao Li family!" The sixth master said "oh", said goodbye to the other party, and rode away with Chen Yixuan......
