Chapter 9: Zombie Ship
After the white-bearded old man Lei Ren suddenly stood up, we were shocked to find that this product had no leg disease!
Not only was he not lame, but he walked quite happily with his hands behind his back. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After walking around the wheelchair a few times, the old man said to me and said, "Don't get me wrong...... Is it too lazy to move...... I am really happy to see the disciples of the Zhao family here today! ”
Hehe, do you want to be a wheelchair if you are too lazy to move? I don't think it's that simple. But he didn't bother to move, and I didn't bother to ask, I wanted to see which one he was singing.
After moving his muscles and bones for a while, Old Man Lei spoke, sat down again, and smiled to himself, but we looked at each other.
To be honest, I feel that he looks quite weird, what kind of wheelchair is he not sick? Do you think you are Zhuge Liang? And his eyes never left me, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
It dawned on me that he was playing with my idea......
Faced with this special situation, I didn't know how to deal with it, so I could only accompany the smiling face and say something to him.
I told him that my master's surname is indeed Zhao, but his name is not Zhao Qingshan...... The soul of the ox has never heard of it, let alone the deeds he said about winning glory for the country and so on.
After saying this, a trace of disappointment crossed Old Man Lei's face.
His face was gloomy again. And Comrade Wangcai next to him was even more excited, and actually rushed to ask for his master: "You are talking nonsense, will the descendants of the Zhao family not know about Zhao Qingshan?" ”
This question made me completely dumbfounded.
My master's name is Zhao Haipeng, not Zhao Qingshan, and the old squad leader only told me in the army that he has an elder brother named Zhao Haikun, as if the old squad leader also said that his father was called ...... Zhao Deguang.
This Confucius Temple is called Zhao Qingshan's predecessor, this is the first time I have heard of it.
"Could it be that he admitted the wrong door?" I muttered to myself.
But I think so, but I can't let the scene continue to be cold, otherwise this old fox will be unhappy, thinking that I will frame him, and it will not be appropriate to pull out the dozen disciples and grandchildren to sing for me.
So, I stubbornly continued to respond: "...... However, my master is also quite good, his ancestor is the imperial chef, and there is a kitchen knife given by the emperor......"
Before I could finish speaking, the old man suddenly turned from doubt to laughter.
"That's right! That's him! He slapped his hand on the table and suddenly shouted like a worm from my words.
…… Who is it? I don't think I said anything!
I don't know why, anyway, the old man Lei Renlei no longer doubts my identity at all, he still shook his body and made a score with me:
"It's normal that you don't know! It must be that the 'grievances and grievances' of the previous generation in our five visceral temples, young people like you naturally don't understand the swords and swords of those years, and the love of children is long! ”
In Lei Ren's words, there is obviously a meaning of praising and believing me for "short-sightedness", but when things come to this point, people say it, and I can only listen with a smile.
Who made the family live older than me, and probably die earlier than me......
That Lei Ren looked at my "deferential" attitude, and immediately relied on the old man to sell the old, he called me a junior, and after the dish was ready, he asked me to fill him with wine and vegetables, which was not to treat me as an outsider at all!
But even so, I put up with it, who let us eat the "white food" given by others. It's a "toast" that doesn't cost money.
Moreover, although Lei Ren said that he would make a few dishes in his mouth, the people who greeted us were all real guys, and they were "bloody".
On this basis, I also endured.
I was also quite convinced by the two dishes he served "casually", because I only took a cursory glance and almost dropped my eyes in shock.
Why? Because they gave me two "head dishes" in Cantonese cuisine, "Eel (Snake) Dragon and Tiger Fight" and "Unicorn Phoenix Paw Perch"!
I don't need to elaborate on the ingredients used in these two dishes, just the meaning of the selection of materials, and it has already thrown out the cooks of those "private schools" for several streets.
Don't look at only two dishes, but there are all birds and beasts, dragons, tigers and phoenixes, it looks like it is golden, tigers and dragons, there is everyone's pomp, and it is even more mouthwatering, it is simply blind to my dog's eyes!
To be honest, I feel that seeing these two big dishes in this small service station restaurant is a bit outrageous.
In my opinion, they should be praised in a premium hotel, so that they really match the taste!
I also sincerely sigh in my heart, the craftsmanship of this Wuling Temple is really extraordinary!
There are such two dishes in town, although we can only stick chopsticks because of the relationship between "white food Gu", but we are also satisfied! Naturally, I can only sell it to Lei Ren for face. And I have nothing to lose by coaxing him, and I have nothing to lose.
That's it, Lei Ren sang, I drank, the two of them stretched out one piece, one respectful, and the cooperation was quite tacit, after three rounds of drinking, the old man's conversation box opened, and he smiled and talked eloquently, telling the origin of his father and the Zhao family.
Lei Ren said that his own father's name was Lei Aniu, a native of Guangdong, and his main life trajectory was in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.
Lei A Niu this person has no culture, but people are very able to toss, he began to wander around at the age of thirteen, went down to the South Seas, ran through Taiwan, but failed to toss anything famous, once across the strait also encountered a typhoon, the whole ship was broken, a person grabbed driftwood, with the current.
In this way, he drifted away for three days and three nights before he was salvaged from Zhoushan, when the people were swollen, but he barely picked up a life.
Lei Aniu escaped death, after landing in Zhejiang, penniless, very melancholy for his livelihood, but when he fell to the point of about to ask for food, he suddenly saw a notice of "recruiting husband" on the riverside.
This Lei Ah Niu doesn't know words, but he has traveled a lot, and he has seen a lot of "workers" who recruit labor, so he knows the meaning and content of the word "Zhengfu", and knows that this is an opportunity to make money by labor.
So, he relied on the advice of others and came to the employer's employer.
After Lei Aniu found the unit, he found out that it was a dock company that ran internal shipping.
After inquiring with the wharf, Ah Niu learned that the wharf had newly received a batch of rice delivery work from the internal cao, and it was necessary to send five boats of aged glutinous rice to Beiping along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.
At that time, Lei Aniu really couldn't get mixed up, he accepted the contract without even thinking about it, and after ordering a dime of silver and the contract from the company, he hurriedly ate a full meal and set off with the ship.
However, when Lei Ah Niu really got on this boat, he gradually regretted accepting this "husband".
This is not to blame him, because as time goes on, Cowboy feels more and more that these boats are very weird.
They don't look like they carry rice, but more like ...... Transporting some kind of unspeakable "dirty thing".
The reason why Rea Niu has such an idea is also gradually discovered.
First of all, Ah Niu found that the utensils for storing rice were very special, and the utensils for glutinous rice were not cloth bags and rice warehouses, but actually sealed with mud in sea jars to seal and store rice.
That's weird.
When Ah Niu ran the strait in Taiwan before, he also followed a steamer with rice ballast.
In his memory, it seems that all the rice was packed in sacks, and sometimes foreign rice was packaged more delicately, but at most it was sealed in wax-dyed kraft paper bags......
This is the first time he has seen this method of transporting rice in sea tanks.
This is nothing, but when Cao Yun followed the next day, Lei Aniu also accidentally found that this pair of Cao gang boatmen, from the head of the stick and from the bow of the boat, all wore cinnabar yellow charms folded into "mandarin duck horns" on their chests.
At this point, Lei Aniu is even more incomprehensible.
He knows that people who run boats are superstitious, and this has been the case since ancient times, whether they are running canals or seas, they will inevitably find some amulets and Mazu statues to worship, but there is no one with yellow charms.
Because the yellow charm is melted when it encounters water, it is a waste of money to be brought on the "prodigal man" who is with the water every day.
This is basic common sense, Ah Niu doesn't understand, what is the matter with these of them, but everyone has a yellow talisman......
With these questions, Lei A Niu's mood became more and more uneasy, and when he had just crossed the Yangtze River, his Lei A Niu's uneasy mood reached the extreme.
Because Lei Aniu accidentally found that there were several backbone figures, and they even had "box cannons" and copper coin swords stuck in their waists.
This discovery made Lei Niu completely frightened.
He can actually understand the box gun, it must be different from shipping, there are no international conventions and foreign warships to follow, the safety of the transportation is poor, there are often water thieves and horses, and bringing a long gun and a short cannon is the basic means of self-defense of Caobang. But this bronze coin sword is ......
In Lei Aniu's thoughts, only a Taoist priest would bring this kind of guy.
Therefore, Lei Aniu naturally thinks that the true identity of these people who transport the sinking rice should be Taoist priests, and the most unfortunate ones are also people who know how to do the right thing......
Such a conclusion immediately made Ah Niu nervous and restless.
Ah Niu must have come out to mix since he was a child, and after a long time, he naturally understands more. He had long heard from friends who knew a little bit about the door...... Glutinous rice, sea jars, yellow charms and copper coin swords, but they are all things that suppress evil things such as zombies and ghosts.
In other words, the things stored in those sea tanks are probably not sinking rice, but "packaged" "zongzi"!
When Lei Ah Niu thought of this, his mind exploded, and in a trance, only one thought came to him - slip away!
He would rather not earn money than transport these things, and lose his life in a hurry.
But helplessly, when Ah Niu really wanted to escape, he found that he couldn't run at all under the supervision of the eldest brother of the Cao Gang and the head of the boat.
At the right time, Lei Aniu found that the people of the Cao Gang were standing guard in turn, and they seemed to be supervising their every move at all times, as if they had long thought that one of them would slip away!
It must be that the box cannon in the waist of the "stick head" and "bow" of the ship is not a joke, and with that thing pressing, whoever runs has to weigh it.
In this way, Ah Niu was doing the work of recruiting husbands in fear, and he was like a frightened bird along the way.
The only thing he hopes for is the blessing of the queen of heaven, so that he can escape successfully, or let him get through this difficult time safely.
But people are often afraid of something, and when the ship sailed to the boundary of Jining, Shandong, the boat really had an accident.
