Eating at the table of the eight immortals, when sitting is also extremely particular, in most cases, each house is built in accordance with the direction of sitting north and facing south, so there is a saying that the older one sits on the north side of the hall house on the north side, and the second one sits on the south side, in order: north, south, west, east four directions, according to the age to arrange.
The dishes on the table are more abundant than yesterday, and Zhuwang introduces them to us one by one, but the old three things are still indispensable: the first is the famous local yellow beef hot pot, the meat is fresh and tender, and the taste is particularly sour; The second is the local chicken, which is simply authentic and delicious, tender and delicious; The third is my favorite pot noodles, which have a solid texture and are delicious and sweet.
In the process of introduction, Zhuwang also poured us authentic rice wine, which is a five-star service, and the gluttonous worms in my stomach are about to come out.
The big country smiled and said, "Oh, I said, Brother Zhuwang, your skills have simply caught up with the Michelin chef!" ”
Zhu Wang replied: "Brother Daoguo, is this Michelin burnt you said delicious?" "Zhu Wang used the Mandarin he was not familiar with to communicate with the big country, and there was a local accent mixed in it, which made us all laugh. Zhuwang has never been out of the province since he was a child, he has only been to school in the county seat, and he didn't study in high school, so he didn't understand what the big country said about Michelin.
The big country replied: "Is this Michelin delicious?" Ouch, this guy is too expensive, I can't afford it......" After saying that, he leaned on the table and laughed.
I hurriedly explained to Zhuwang, and I said, "This Michelin is the title of a chef, not for eating, but for a big country, but to praise your dishes for being particularly good." While feeding the Great Sage something to eat, he found that this guy was small but difficult to eat.
After I finished speaking, everyone praised Zhuwang's cooking skills, which made Zhuwang scratch his head embarrassedly.
The big country stuffed the vegetables into his mouth and said: "Alas, look, Xiao Yao is still smart, and such a complex problem is explained so clearly." ”
I glanced at the big country, how do I feel that this person has become a profiteer again.
The eagle and Jiang Yang were gobbling it up, and the ninth uncle and the second uncle had a few drinks with the old man...... Not to mention how lively the whole table is, it looks like the New Year.
The so-called wine has passed three rounds, and the food has passed five flavors, and everyone has drunk and eaten to the fullest.
At this time, the second uncle said: "Let's set off tomorrow to find this mysterious ancient country of Yelang, hoping to find Xiao Yao's parents who have been missing for more than 20 years, and as far as I know, there is a mysterious tomb robbery gang that has been eyeing this piece of fat, so we will not only fight with people, but also fight with ghosts, anything can happen, and now it's too late for anyone to quit." ”
I followed the words of the second uncle and said, "Eagle, Jiang Yang, you two have already accompanied me through the tomb of the Ghost Corpse King, and you also know their dangers, so I hope you ......."
Before I finished speaking, Eagle and Jiang Yang put their arms around their shoulders and went upstairs, saying as they walked: "We like to fight with the sky and people, let's go to bed early, don't forget to call us tomorrow, bye." He waved at us.
The old man stood up and said, "Let Zhuwang show you the way tomorrow, I hope you can get Professor Xiao and them back, but you must be careful of that blood spider!" The old man said that he was very worried, and he wanted to go with us.
Uncle Nine saw that the old man was very emotional, so he told Zhuwang to send the old man back to the room, and the old man held my hand when he left, and said, "May our gods be able to protect you from finding your parents." ”
I was touched by the old man's words, and I said to the old man: "When I find my parents, I will bring them back to honor you!" The old man nodded, stopped talking, turned around and left, Zhu Wang helped him back to the room, I know that he is very excited at the moment.
Ruonan on the side was just about to wipe his body and leave, but was stopped by the second uncle and said to her: "Ruonan, you will go back to Beijing tomorrow, and your mother is still waiting for you at home." ”
"I don't, I have to go with you." Ruonan pouted and replied, like a coquettish little girl.
"Ruonan, is it okay to be obedient? Those places are not what you think, and you are a girl in danger. ”
"No, I don't want to go back, I just like adventure, I want to go with you."
At this time, the second uncle slapped the table and yelled, saying, "No, you have to go back for me tomorrow." As soon as the second uncle finished speaking, Ruonan ran away and went back to the room.
When I saw it, the corners of my mouth were smiling slightly, I wanted her to go but I didn't want her to go.
The second uncle sat on the table angrily and sighed.
Seeing this, Uncle Nine was busy comforting: "Your daughter, she really has the same stubborn temper as you, and if something is determined, it will be determined, and it is indeed dangerous to go here, so I have a way." ”
The second uncle said, "What's the way?" ”
The big country, which was silent for a while, said: "We'll leave at four o'clock in the morning." ”
Uncle Nine was stunned for a moment, glanced at the big country and said, "Hey, you kid actually knows what I think." ”
After hearing this, the second uncle nodded in agreement, and then said, "Big country, are you sure you want to go with us?" I looked at the firm eyes of the great country, sorted out the Jiaotu jade pendant on my chest, and said: "I am not only the descendant of the tomb protector, but also a lonely person, of course I am accompanying you, and besides, the tomb protector and the Guigumen tomb guard, it is estimated that it will be a good story on the rivers and lakes!" ”
After the big country finished speaking, he went upstairs with the Cold Moon Knife on his back, and raised four fingers at us, signaling four o'clock in the morning.
The big country went upstairs, Zhuwang came down again, cleaned up the table, and we also told Zhuwang the reason for leaving at four o'clock in the morning, and Zhuwang agreed without thinking.
At this time, Uncle Nine said to me, "Then you should go to bed early, and we will leave at four o'clock in the morning." ”
Originally, I wanted to ask what route I would take tomorrow, but the second uncle and the ninth uncle were old in this line, so I didn't ask, and went back to the room to sleep with peace of mind with the great sage, I thought about it for a while, and told Jiang Yang and them about our departure at four o'clock in the morning.
When I returned to the room, I felt a little dazed, I guess the wine I just drank was a little up, rice wine was like this, it was very soft when I drank it, and the stamina came up at the back.
I immediately undressed, set an alarm clock for four in the morning, turned off the light, and fell asleep with the Great Sage in my arms.
In the early morning of the next day, the bell bell, a noisy ringtone sounded in my ears, this kind of deadly ringtone is the most irritating, I can't wait to smash the phone, looking at the great sage on the side as if he was also woken up, looking at me cutely.
When I looked at my watch, the time passed really fast, it was four o'clock in the morning, I thought of the thing I promised to leave last night, and immediately got up to get dressed and equipped, went to wash up, and was about to go downstairs, I slowed down, for fear of waking up Ruonan.
When I first arrived downstairs, I found that the big country, the ninth uncle, the second uncle, and Jiang Yang were all ready, ready to go, as if they were waiting for me.
Uncle Nine said, "How is it, everyone is ready, right?" ”
A few of us nodded, signaling that everyone could go, and everyone checked the equipment, because there were a lot of dry food and physical goods, drinking water, these things are all essential supplies, and none of them can be missing.
In the case of all kinds of equipment, under the leadership of Zhuwang, we set off from the back door of the kitchen to the direction planned by the ninth uncle of Houshan, and when we left, the second uncle pressed an envelope and 50,000 yuan on the table, the letter was for Ruonan, and the money was for Zhuwang's family, turned around and followed us.
We began to cross the primeval forest along the mountain path, there was still a crescent moon hanging in the corner of the sky, the moonlight was shining with the stream, there was silence in the woods and grass, everything on the earth had not yet recovered, and I told myself in my heart that I had prepared for the worst, I wanted to find my father and mother, who had been missing for more than 20 years, and I would carry it back, even if it was a corpse.
