The Age of Chaos Chapter 26 The Ghost Fire Rises Under the Pagoda Mountain
In those years, all industries were waiting to be developed, and the workers and peasants were poor. The countryside is very bitter, and many people have not been touched by meat for a few days, and they drool when they see meat, although this giant catfish does not know how many years it has lived. The meat may be old, but in the end it is still meat, this cauldron is cooked, hey, hey, several miles away, you can smell that special fragrance, and the gluttonous insects in the human stomach are directly hooked out.
The scene at that time was simply very lively, whether it was the gray-haired old man. Or a child with a snot, or an adult who is a parent, with a light in his eyes. I was beaming, but I always felt that something was wrong. You know, this giant catfish is the murderer we just identified, and it hasn't been identified above, so it's boiling in the pot now, which is really too hasty.
And if this thing is really the real culprit of the frequent drowning incidents in the Walangshan Reservoir, then the meat must contain a dead breath, too cold, and the average elderly and children must not be able to stand it, and it is easy to have problems if they eat it.
Looking at these simple villagers full of expectations, I feel that I must stand up, otherwise if something happens, no one can afford to delay the lives of hundreds of people.
I found Lao Kong and Xiao Lu at the door of the village office, and asked where Shen Zhong was, and they pointed to the room and said that they were arguing with people inside, and I was afraid that they would not be able to get out for a while. I listened attentively, and found that Shen Zhong was arguing with people about this matter, and looking at the hot energy, I knew that our leader was also strongly opposed to this matter. Shen Zhong was arguing with the door closed in the room, and I definitely wouldn't rush in like a stunned, so I waited at the door, Xiao Lu was looking at the car at the village office yesterday, and didn't catch the opportunity, and now when he saw me, he hurriedly pulled me to ask about yesterday's incident.
High-profile work, low-key life, although I am young, but I understand the truth of the gun to shoot the first bird, in the face of Xiao Lu's interrogation, I did not exaggerate, just said that I was in a hurry, and accidentally inserted the sword into the guy's head, hit it crookedly, and hit it by luck.
Sure enough, Xiao Lu regretfully said that he was not at the scene at the time, otherwise, maybe he would have been able to make a contribution.
Lao Kong is a bright-eyed person, watching from the side, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Competition is everywhere, compared to the old fritters in the department, Xiao Lu Biao, who came a year before me, has to be very active, he is a veteran of the army, thanks to the relationship, and only came to the second department after seven or eight turns, that is, he is full of energy, ready to climb up, I didn't expect that I, a person who came later than him, actually took the lead in this case, how did he not have a sense of crisis? After talking about yesterday's events, I told Lao Kong about the worries in my heart, and he sighed and said, "Who said it wasn't? Whether it was Lao Shen or Captain Liu, they all strongly objected, but the village party secretary promised to do it well in person, but as soon as he turned his back, the fish was chopped into large pieces, thrown into the pot to boil oil, and called so many villagers to catch the ducks on the shelves, what do you say we do? ”
We were complaining, the door of the room was opened, and Shen Zhong and Liu Gong'an, who were angry, walked out with the village party secretary of Mengjia Village, and the old man had a smile on his face, and he was making excuses and asking for mercy, but this raw rice was cooked into cooked rice, no matter how angry he was, he was helpless, Shen Zhong walked to us with a stiff face, shrugged his shoulders, pouted and shook his head.
Lao Kong was a little surprised, stood up, dragged Shen Chong's arm and asked, "That's it?" I said Lao Shen, you can't be so unprincipled, right? ”
Shen Zhong smiled bitterly: "What can I do?" Lao Mengtou said that over the years, twenty people have died in a row in their village, and the loss is the greatest, and everyone is eager to gnaw off a piece of meat from the murderer. This is one of them, and the second is that their village is too bitter, many people have not seen meat for half a year, and it stinks when such a big fish is thrown there, so it is better to cook it and add food to the people in the village. ”
"But that fish is so weird, not only has it grown so big, but it can also confuse people, especially since it has killed so many people, and there is a dead breath in the body, ordinary people will definitely not be able to stand it when they eat it, vomiting and diarrhea, this is a trivial matter, maybe it will cause a murder...... "I was not reconciled, and persuaded beside me.
Shen Zhong still shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "You understand this truth, and I understand it, but people just don't believe it, the old Meng Tou himself said that when the meal is opened in a while, he will eat the first bite first, and if it's okay, others will eat it again." We were only sent from above, and we have never dealt with the villagers here, Liu Gong'an and they all agreed, and we have no reason to forcibly stop it, look at those villagers, if you say that they are not allowed to eat, will you see if they will swallow us alive? ”
I looked at the villagers in the courtyard who were stretching their necks and swallowing saliva, and I was a little speechless, I was also hungry and hungry for meat, and I could understand what kind of love it was. Doctored chastity.
Seeing that I didn't insist any longer, Shen Zhong pointed to his pocket, patted me on the shoulder, and whispered: "When the time comes, we will go back, and this fish bead will be able to make a difference, Erdan, this time you are very good, I will definitely tell the above." I know that Deputy Director Wu is very strict with you, and that's because he has always been on bad terms with Director Dai before, so he will be angry with you, but you have proven yourself with your strength, and I think that when the time comes, no one will point fingers at you......"
When Shen Zhong gave me a promise, the big pot of boiling fish was already steaming, the fish was so fat, when boiled, the fish oil was finger deep, and after heating, it was so fragrant that people couldn't think about it at all, but when everyone was intoxicated, I smelled a very familiar fishy smell.
This smell is not fishy, but a smell that comes from the decomposition of human fat.
The meal was about to start, and at this time, the old branch secretary in front of the stove began to speak, and he said three points: first, he felt that the comrades sent by the county helped Mengjia Village and the entire Walang Mountain to clear the scourge, and from now on, there would be no more homicides in the reservoir; Second, families who drowned in the reservoir this year can get double portions of fish; Third, in order to ensure everyone's safety, his old Meng Tou was the first to try it, and when it was okay, he distributed it to everyone to try.
Ken for the benefit of the villagers with the top cow of the village party secretary, in the village prestige is still very heavy, every time he says a word, he ushered in a burst of cheers and applause, in the end, no need to say hello, someone jumped on the table of eight immortals next to it, with a big spoon scooped a bowl of fish soup out, snow-white fish meat, a thick layer of fish oil on top, sprinkled with green and white green onions, slight pepper, indescribable deliciousness, smell let the mouth water.
The old branch secretary took a sip lightly, and it was so hot that he was angry, but then he shouted happily: "It's delicious, it's delicious...... After saying this, everyone squeezed forward, raised the big bowl in their hands high, and shouted to the person on the table of the eight immortals: "Lin Jie, bring me a bowl!" ”
"Jie Wazi, bring a bowl to your third uncle and grandfather, and add more meat!"
"I want it too, I want it too, Brother Jie, get me more, and you and my sister will have no problem......"
Everyone moved forward together, and immediately became a mess, the young man on the table of the Eight Immortals was stirring the pot with a big spoon, seeing this, while waving his hand, he said loudly: "Don't be busy yet, wait for Grandpa Meng to finish eating, half an hour, and then scoop it for you." Don't worry, it's all there. After he finished speaking, the old branch secretary next to him slapped the table again, and there was a sigh of disappointment from the crowd, and the old branch secretary was about to drink fish soup again, but his wife came over: "Old man, old man, don't be busy first, our second son is gone......"
As soon as he heard this, the old branch secretary suddenly didn't have the heart to drink the delicious fish soup anymore, and as soon as he put the bowl down, his face immediately changed, and he shouted loudly: "What's the matter? Wasn't it okay when I went out? ”
The second son of the old branch secretary is the evil Meng Lao Er last night, after being hit by Lao Kong with cinnabar in the ghost living room, first paralyzed to the ground, and then vomited a few times, so weak that he couldn't do it, and we were sent back to the village together at dawn, and he stayed at home, why did something happen? The old branch secretary's house was next to the village office, and when his son had an accident, he couldn't care about this side at the moment, so he hurriedly ran home.
Meng Lao Er has a criminal record, if he has another problem, then it means that this giant catfish is not the murderer, or there are other conditions, we can't stand, follow closely to find it.
The old branch secretary was scolding his wife there, crying and crying in the house, and Shen Zhong discussed with Liu Gong'an outside the house, saying that he had to mobilize people to find out Meng Laoer, and if he was one minute late, there would be more danger. Liu Gongan nodded yes, called a few brothers to check outside, and found the old branch secretary, saying that there were not enough people, and the villagers had to be mobilized.
Anything, involving his own son, has become less important, everyone is gathered in front of the village office, the old branch secretary hurried back, only to find that someone couldn't wait for a few minutes, jumped on the table to fish. The young man named Lin Jie couldn't stop it, so he followed them, several people scooped a big bowl, and they didn't care about it, and while drinking, they shouted happily: "It's delicious, it's delicious......"
The scene was a little chaotic, and the old branch secretary didn't know how to tell the villagers to stop first and help him find his son, but at this time, a fortune-telling gentleman came running from the entrance of the village, rushed all the way to the front, and suddenly took the banner in his hand, and picked off the bowls in the hands of these villagers who were blowing and drinking soup one by one.
