XXXIII. Mortuary
52_52488 The young man felt that the old man's reaction was a little wrong, usually the old man was more than calm, and it was the first time that he was so anxious and ignorant of his demeanor like today. (800)。 The update is so fast. But this also shows that the old man is in a hurry, no matter what, at this time, he can't hide it, and everything has to be poured out. Niu Erzhu sorted out his thoughts and recounted the important retelling of his experience in the tomb', although there were only a few words, but he also said it clearly and thoroughly.
The old man also felt a little unbelievable when he heard Da Shao's words. At this time, I also felt that I was a little out of shape, coughed, held the tentacle, and 'touched' the goatee on my mouth and was silent. Niu Erzhu saw it, the old man couldn't say anything with a belly, looking at this meaning, it seemed that he knew something inside. The old man has been 'mingling' in this place for decades, and he must know something that others don't know, and if he really talks about those things, many problems will be solved, so he will stop talking and wait quietly for the following.
Who knew that after waiting for a long time, the old man didn't say a word, and held back for a while before he said: "Hurry back to the nest, and I'll talk about it when I have something to do!" Da Shaowan didn't expect to wait for a long time to be like this, and he felt a little depressed, but it was really inconvenient to speak on the street, so he had to hold back his words, quietly followed behind everyone, and went straight to the nest in the mountains.
There was nothing to say all the way, and it was easy to get to the nest, and everyone drank water and drank dry food, and rested for a while, and then they gathered together and listened to the old man's plan for the next step. This group of people is not all singles, they have the flexibility to save some money, and they have become a family. If it was usual, I would have gone home a long time ago and my wife and children would have gone to the hot kang head, but now that this matter is on the table, no one has the heart to go home, so they have moved a chair and sat around the old man to see what he is going to do.
The old man has been home ever since. I didn't drink water, I didn't eat food, I just held a cigarette bag and pot, and smoked one cigarette after another. He sighed and said, "Everyone already knows about today's events. Presumably everyone also knows that looking for blood 'stick' mallet is fake, extortion is real, this matter is easy to say, as long as we prepare a generous gift and send it to the battalion commander, it is estimated that the clouds in the sky are scattered, what should we do in the future, eat, drink and Lazar. There is no delay at all. Originally, I should have made up my mind about this matter, but the nest is mine, and the business is everyone's, what should I do, should this gift be given or not, everyone has to discuss it. 800”
As soon as he finished saying this, there was a lot of talk at the bottom. But the discussion has begun, and there are those who advocate calming things down, but their arms can't reach their big 'legs', can you do it against the ya'men'? Besides, the bloody mallet is just a legend, and no one can say whether it is or not. When the time comes, I really can't find it, how can I 'hand' it over? Still not allowed to continue to be boarded? If you don't get it well, if your mouth is crooked, your life will be difficult to protect! This proposition has been approved by most people, but there are also those who do not believe in evil, and those who are talking about it shake their heads one after another, saying that this is a pit of dissatisfaction. Did you send it this year, will you send it next year? Less has become the norm. I have to break the bank every year, and now there are more nests, and it is not easy to do business, and I have less money, and I will not be able to live in the future with such a big burden?
The people below are gossiping, but the old man is bored' Smoking dry tobacco, not saying a word, Niu Erzhu saw it in his eyes, his heart was bright, although the old man did not speak, from his table xiàn, it must be that he did not agree to give gifts, and after the old man saw the tentacles, the table xiàn was very abnormal, he should have an idea, but it was not good to say it immediately, at this time, someone had to come out to speak, and the words had to get to the point, not only to dispel everyone's doubts, but also to find ways to find out what the old man knew.
"Everyone," Niu Erzhu cleared his throat and suddenly said, "What everyone said makes sense, giving gifts is to eliminate disasters and avoid disasters, and to avoid disasters, we live a good life, there is no need to fight with people, and those who don't give gifts are also the heart of life, who doesn't have an old and young?" Send them something every year, it's better to feed the dog! However, although this matter is both sides of the truth, but there is one thing that everyone has to think clearly, the appetite of the official family is not satisfied, how much financial resources do we have to feed them? Even if he is fed, can you guarantee that he will not bite in the future? So according to the meaning of the little brother, let's try to find the blood 'stick' mallet first, I really want to find it, not only to eliminate disasters and solve problems, our nest will also be famous, 'get' Zhang Dashuai will look at it differently, don't believe it, I think the second uncle doesn't speak, I must have a plan in my heart, the second uncle, those here are all their own family, you don't have any scruples, just say what you think! ”
The old man nodded, glanced at Niu Erzhu with satisfaction, and then said: "Yes, what Niu nephew said makes sense, we have been 'mixed' in this area for so many years, and we are somewhat famous, so we admit it, who can afford to raise our heads?" You have to fight hard, earn a face for yourself, blood 'stick' mallet this thing, to say rare, it is indeed rare, some people have never encountered it in their lives, but this thing depends on fate, you have to happen to it, you can really bump into it, it's not a secret, my old man is also lucky in this life, I met it once when I was young! ”
As soon as these words were said, everyone was taken aback, and all of them were mentioned as 'spirit' spirits, and dozens of pairs of eyes looked at the old man in unison, waiting for the following. The old man took the tentacle in his hand, looked at it carefully for a while as if he wanted to see it, and then nodded again: "That's right, nephew Niu, you are also a strange person, strange people must have adventures, you are not shallow!" You know what this thing is, don't you? This is the beard of the bloody 'stick' mallet, which is commonly referred to as ginseng beard, you don't look at this thing, but it is a great baby, not to say that it is a resurrection, but it is almost the same! ”
The old man asked someone to take a big wooden basin, put a few half-dead fish in the basin, and took the tentacles to drop a few drops of bright red liquid into the wooden basin, and after the thing entered the water, it immediately dyed a large basin of water red, and the room was full of strange fragrance, which made people 'spirit' refreshed, and then looked at the few fish that were about to die, and made a few fish in the water, shaking their heads and tails, and immediately came alive, just like the ones they had just caught.
The crowd was amazed and amazed at the thing. The old man asked Niu Erzhu to fish out the fish and send them to the kitchen to make lunch, but the basin of water could not be thrown away, this thing has a miraculous effect on frostbite and sword wounds, and it can be said that the effect is almost immediate! Niu Erzhu saw that this thing had such an effect, and immediately couldn't find the north happily, held it tightly in his hand, and refused to let go, and suddenly thought that this whisker had such a magical effect, if you really want to catch the whole blood 'stick' mallet, put a pot of water to stew and eat, and you can't fly up in the daytime, and directly become a fairy?
The old man saw that everyone's interest had been aroused, so he 'smoked' a few more cigarettes, slowly exhaled a few puffs of smoke, and talked about his previous experience of encountering the snow 'stick' mallet. It turned out that when the old man first arrived in the Northeast, he was also without food and clothing, and almost starved to death, and later was taken in by the 'Meng' people, and learned the ability to dig ginseng, so that he had the capital to eat, and gradually became famous in this industry.
This year, the old man who took in the old man died, and the old woman was so sad that she left within a month. The old couple had no children and no 'daughters' all their lives, and their relatives and friends didn't even enter the 'door', and when they died, they ran faster than rabbits one by one, fighting for that little bit of family property, which was simply ugly. The old man saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but be disheartened, and looked coldly at where everyone was grabbing the table, lifting the bench, and making trouble for a long time before the things were emptied, and in a blink of an eye, people went to the empty house, leaving only the old man there to sigh secretly, and in addition, only the corpses of the old couple remained.
It stands to reason that the old man has been dead for almost a month, and he should have been buried a long time ago, but the relatives and friends didn't even see each other, and the old man was an outsider, so it was naturally not good to mourn. The old man begged for advice, but none of them were willing to pay for a thin-skinned coffin for the old couple to bury. The two corpses of the very 'are worried, now this month is not too hot, but the old man's body has been put for a month, have begun to decompose, if it is bitten by insects and rats in the middle of the night, it is too miserable, and there is a custom in this place, the people who are close to the family can not be parked together, especially the newly deceased can not be put together with the people who have died for more than ten days, I am afraid that the new dead still have a breath in their mouths, if they are crossed to the people who have been dead for a long time, I am afraid that the corpse will change in the middle of the night!
The old man has been 'mingling' here for many years, and naturally knows this statement, although he is skeptical, it is better to believe that he has received the favor of others, if he makes the dead people not live in peace, I am afraid that I am sorry for others. But at this time, it was already late, that is, it was too late to dig a pit, and I had never heard of a burial in the middle of the night, and I had no idea after thinking about it, and the old man's house was too small, and the two corpses were lying down, which had already taken up most of the space, and it was impossible to separate the corpses.
The old man was anxious, and was going round and round the house, and it was getting dark outside, but the wind was blowing, and the wind was whistling, and it came into the house from all directions, and some thatch and branches were blowing. There was nothing else in the old man's yard, only a large chopping of dry firewood, all of which were harvested straw, wheat stalks, etc., which were blown by the wind and flew all over the yard. The old man was also helpless, as soon as he saw the firewood and grass flying all over the sky, his eyes rolled, and he had an idea.
The old man brought a lot of firewood from the yard, separated the two corpses a little, put some firewood and grass in the middle, and the straw was piled higher and higher, gradually forming a grass wall, which could be regarded as separating the two dead people. ”。
