Chapter 385: Worship God
07020101010101 Yangtze River and the Yellow River are both the mother rivers of the Chinese nation, which have been vast for thousands of years, and there are various strange legends about the Yangtze River. I couldn't finish it for three days and three nights.
In 1997, when I was 10 years old, in the middle of summer, my grandfather and I sat under the pergola for dinner. Because it's hot. So we ate porridge. Grandpa personally made two side dishes, and bought half a catty of braised pork from the entrance of the village. I waved my paw and drank the porridge to the brim. Grandpa took a sip of wine, ate a bite of side dishes, and gently shook the fan.
Just then, a teenager came running from a distance and came under the pergola.
I looked up. I know the person who came, his surname is Wang, his name is Wang Qiang. Since childhood, the head does not grow much hair. The sparse hair was not good-looking, so Wang Qiang simply shaved all his hair. He has a bald head all year round, and everyone he knows calls him bald.
The weather was already hot and unbearable, the bald head was running crazy, the top of the brain was full of sweat beads, and the sun was shining, and the thief was bright.
Thump!
The bald head Qiang suddenly knelt down in front of his grandfather, which startled us.
Grandpa frowned, put down the wine glass, and hurriedly asked the bald head Qiang what was wrong.
The bald head was panting, with a hint of crying in his voice: "Third master, you are good, go and see my father, my father, my father, he and him"
The bald head couldn't catch it in one breath, and his face was red and his neck was thick.
"What's wrong with your father?" Grandpa stood up.
The bald head dragged the crook of his grandfather's thigh and didn't let go, and his tears and snot rubbed against the crook of his grandfather's leg, crying and shouting: "I don't know what's wrong with my father, third master, please help me take a look."
Grandpa saw this bald head crying like this, everyone is also a villager, naturally he can't stand by, and as soon as he throws the bowl away, he follows the bald head and left.
I hurriedly stuffed a piece of braised pork in my mouth and followed vaguely: "Grandpa wait for me"
Hekou Village is not big, and soon came to the bald head Qiang's house and saw the bald father Wang Er Mazi.
The bald father is the second in line among the Wang brothers, and when he was young, he tinkered with gunpowder guns, but he was slapped with iron sand, although he picked up a small life, but his face was left with many pitholes, just like a hemp cake face, so people called him "Wang Er Mazi".
At this time, Wang Er Mazi was curled up on the bed, his eyes were closed, he kept moaning in pain, and his face was as if it had been coated with toner, which was terrifyingly black. There was also a puddle of disgusting vomit in front of the bed, and the smell was pungent, and I couldn't help but quietly pinch my nose as soon as I entered the room. Maru Xiu Zong.
As soon as she saw her grandfather coming, the bald old lady, that is, Wang Er Mazi's daughter-in-law, Aunt Mei, sobbed and greeted her, and when she saw her grandfather, she was about to kowtow, and her wrinkled face was full of tears: "Third master, third master, please save my man."
"Aunt Mei don't worry, let me take a look first!" Grandpa walked quickly to the bedside and opened Wang Ermazi's heavy eyelids and looked at it.
I was standing behind my grandfather, and I could see very clearly that there was a strange black line in Wang Er Mazi's pupils!
Grandpa's brows quickly twisted, he looked at the vomit on the ground, turned around and asked Aunt Mei, "What did the second king eat today?" "
Aunt Mei wiped her tears and said, "When he came back in the afternoon, I asked him to have dinner, and he said that his stomach was panicked and he couldn't eat. I asked him what he had eaten on the boat today, and he said that he had a good harvest and that he had caught a big silver carp not long after leaving the boat in the morning. He also compared with me, saying that he had never seen such a big silver carp, estimated to be nearly two meters long and weighing hundreds of pounds! "
Two-meter silver carp?!
I secretly stumbled my tongue, and ordinary silver carp is only a few tens of centimeters.
Grandpa raised his eyebrows: "Wang Er ate that silver carp?" "
Aunt Mei nodded: "At that time, there were three brothers from the Wang family on the boat, they killed the silver carp, made a plate of braised fish for lunch, and drank a lot of wine!" When I came back, each person also shared dozens of catties of fish and meat, and Wang Er carried it back in a hemp bag, and now it is still in the stove, and I am going to make a sauerkraut fish at night."
Speaking of this, Aunt Mei suddenly paused and showed a look of surprise: "Third master, do you mean that there is a problem with that fish?" "
Grandpa didn't say much, only said: "Take me to the stove room to see!" "
On top of the kitchen table in the stove room was a sack containing the large silver carp that had been dismembered.
When I opened the sack, I saw the huge head of the fish.
The fish head is the most nutritious, so Wang Er specially brought the fish head back and prepared to make fish head soup for his son.
I was shocked to see that the head of the fish was the size of a basin, the mouth was wide open, the corners of the mouth were coagulated with black blood, and the two whiskers were coiled in a circle.
Grandpa groaned slightly, and hurriedly ordered the bald head: "You go and get some cow dung immediately, and the rooster blood comes back!" Remember, the rooster has to be the kind of rooster with a big red crest! "
Although he didn't know what his grandfather was going to do, in order to save his father, the bald head didn't ask much, he promised to come down, turned around and ran out of the stove.
At this time, Grandpa asked Aunt Mei to cook a pot of glutinous rice, and instructed Aunt Mei to keep the boiled glutinous rice water.
An hour passed, the bald head Qiang retrieved a bag of cow dung, and bought a neighbor's big red rooster at a high price, cut off the chicken's neck, and filled it with a bowl of hot chicken blood. The glutinous rice in the pot was also boiled, and the white glutinous rice water was gurgling and boiling.
Grandpa dug a lump of cow dung with a spoon and put it into the bowl of chicken blood, stirred it for a while, slowly stirred the lump of cow dung, and poured the boiling glutinous rice water into the bowl, stirring it into a paste, white and red, and floating cow dung residue. When I think of the porridge I ate at night, my stomach was so sour that I almost didn't throw it up.
Grandpa took this bowl of "eight-treasure porridge", took three steps and made two steps to the bed, and let the bald head help Wang Er Mazi.
The bald head looked at his grandfather in surprise: "Third master, you don't want to feed my father such a disgusting thing, do you?" "
Grandpa didn't pay attention to it, his left hand directly pinched Wang Er Mazi's acupoint, and with his right hand, he brought the bowl to Wang Er Mazi's mouth, and said, "I hope I can still be saved!" ", and then poured the bowl of "Eight Treasure Porridge" into Wang Ermazi's mouth.
Within five minutes, Wang Ermazi on the bed began to roll up, his mouth was wide open, and the beads of sweat on his face were like soybeans, rolling down, soaking the sheets.
The bald head was a little anxious, and asked his grandfather with red eyes: "Third master, third master, my father, my father, what's wrong with him?" "
Grandpa said with a calm face: "He's going to vomit, bring a basin and let him vomit as much as he wants, as long as he vomits all the things in his stomach, he should be fine!" "
As soon as the words fell, I heard a snort, Wang Er Mazi lay on the side of the bed, vomiting so darkly, and a smoky stench soon filled the room. What's even more weird is that the paste spit out by Wang Er Mazi turned out to be black!
After vomiting wildly, Wang Er Mazi was about to collapse, and he fell on the side of the bed with a pale face, unable to say a word.
"My dad can't be poisoned, right?" The bald head asked in surprise.
Who knew that grandpa actually nodded: "That's right!" Wang Er was indeed poisoned, but it was not an ordinary poison, but a corpse poison! "
"Corpse poison?!" Both Bald Qiang and Aunt Mei opened their mouths wide in surprise.
Grandpa said, "That silver carp is not an ordinary silver carp, but grew up eating carrion corpses in the river, which is why it grows amazingly." Due to the long devouring of carrion corpses, the silver carp is full of a large amount of corpse poison, and they eat the fish meat, so they are naturally infected with corpse poison! What I just gave him is a primer to get rid of the poison of corpses in the body! Hurry up and take this medicine to your two uncles' house now, hopefully you can save them!" "
The bald head was surprised and delighted, thanked him repeatedly, and then rushed to his two uncles' houses with the medicine in his hand.
Aunt Mei thanked her grandfather for her kindness, and when she was leaving, her grandfather told Aunt Mei to dig a pit in the backyard, burn the remaining fish and meat with fire, and bury it in the pit.
I originally thought that the matter was settled and I could go home and continue eating, but who knew that after coming out of the Wang family's courtyard, my grandfather told me to go back by myself first. I asked my grandfather where he was going, and he said he was going out on a boat to do something. I yelled that I wanted to go with my grandfather, but my grandfather lowered his face at this time and scolded me with a solemn face: "You are born with fire, you can't go near a place where there is water lightly, otherwise you will get into trouble!" Listen to grandpa, hurry up and go home, grandpa will be back later! "
Grandpa left after speaking, seeing the back of grandpa leaving, I always felt that something was not quite right in my heart, it was so late, what was grandpa going to do on the boat?
