Chapter 184: Before You Go
Ningxia couldn't help but look embarrassed when she saw Tang Jing and Ah Ruan looking back at her. She didn't explain anything, and sometimes the more she explained, the more she seemed to want to cover up, but it was not as good as ignoring it naturally.
Ningxia followed Tang Jing and Ah Ruan to the backyard, which was a place to put firewood and other sundries, and a simple open shed was piled up with branches and wood. On the west side, a cowshed was built, in which two cattle were raised, one large and one small. Ningxia has never seen a real cow, and I feel strangely close to the cowshed, and my big eyes flicker at the two cows, which I like even more than seeing the best jade.
She watched by the cowshed, and by the time she thought to see what Tang Jing was doing, the two big men were gone. However, Ningxia was not surprised, she knew that the two men must have gone down to the cellar. After searching the yard for a while, she found the entrance to the cellar, and walked over and crouched at the entrance to look inside. Naturally, there is no light in the cellar, and at this time there are candles growing and swaying light and shadow, but the area is not too large, and Ningxia can see Tang Jing and Ah Ruan risking not knowing what to do.
At this time, Tang Jing, who was in the cellar, shouted at it, "I said that little stupid pig, hurry up and dodge, you are blocking the light." ”
Ningxia rolled his eyes and had to leave the cellar mouth. After waiting for more than ten minutes, Tang Jing and Ah Ruan came up. Tang Jing shouted for Ningxia to come over to help, he climbed up from the ladder, handed a jar of wine first, and asked Ningxia to carry it up. Ningxia looked at the wine jar covered with thick yellow mud, and the jar was also covered with dust, and when she grabbed the wine jar, her hands were immediately covered with soil. After handing Ningxia another jar of wine, Tang Jing came up from the cellar, his clothes and head were stained with soil, and he looked like a monkey.
After walking away from the cellar, he dusted the soil on his body, and it happened that Ningxia was standing below him, and the morning mountain breeze was blowing Tang Jing
After waiting for Ah Ruan to come up, he walked to the chicken coop while dusting off the dirt on his body. The chicken coop is more than one meter high, made of stone, only the front leaves a small mouth about 20 centimeters high and more than 10 centimeters wide, and now this hole is blocked with stone bricks layer by layer. Ah Ruan first drew two stone bricks, and immediately there was a chicken head that couldn't wait to be exposed, Ah Ruan looked at it and said that this one was not good, so he let this chicken out, and then waited for another chicken to come out. It wasn't until he saw a big white rooster that Ah Ruan grabbed it, and another flower rooster was grabbed. When he came over, Ningxia saw two roosters, both of which were very fat, and at this time, Ah Ruan was carrying the chicken's neck, and they kept scratching the chicken paws in pain, struggling, but they couldn't scream.
Ah Ruan smiled and said to Tang Jing, "Eat this rooster at noon, and keep it for the night to feed the beast." ”
Ningxia was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Ah Ruan meant by the phrase "keep it white and feed the beast at night". She saw that the rooster feathers were very good-looking, so she couldn't bear it, reached out and pulled Tang Jing's clothes, and said, "Don't let people break the bank, it's not like you haven't eaten this chicken." How beautiful this chicken looks, look at how beautiful the feathers are, what a pity if you kill it. ”
Without waiting for Tang Jing to speak, Ah Ruan smiled and said that it was not in the way, "We have chickens in every household here, and the hens are kept to lay eggs, so they are reluctant to kill, and this rooster is specially kept for guests." There are no good things in the mountain village, that is, catching a chicken or something to entertain guests. ”
Ningxia was still thinking about something, but Tang Jing stopped Ningxia from talking, saying that she was still picky and looked down on the local chickens of the Aruan family? A sentence choked Ningxia for a long time, his face was red and white, and he was embarrassed.
Ah Ruan smiled, he was kinder than Tang Jing, and said to Ningxia, "When I go to the city one day, Miss Ning invites me to have a delicious meal, no, it's okay, they are not outsiders, don't be so upset." ”
Ningxia listened to Ah Ruan's words, smiled and nodded at Ah Ruan, and didn't say anything more.
Ah Ruan first put the rooster into the chicken cage made of bamboo chips, and the other white rooster was put into the clay pot he brought before, Tang Jing at this time cut off the yellow mud sealed on a wine jar, and then opened the wine jar sealed with thick yellow paper, a strong smell of wine instantly diffused, Tang Jing was so greedy that he smacked his mouth, said good wine, good wine, and then took a big sip of the wine jar, and the wine overflowing from the wine jar spilled onto his clothes, not only no image but also no hygiene.
Ningxia couldn't help frowning, this fat man, just open his mouth to drink it with the wine jar in this way, the wine is not actually his saliva, how can others drink it, it's too disgusting. She was thinking like this, Tang Jing walked to Ah Ruan with the wine jar, and then poured the wine in the jar into the clay pot where Ah Ruan put the white rooster, which made Ningxia dumbfounded, I don't know what they are doing? Soak chicken in wine?
The wine was poured on the white rooster, and the chicken kept struggling, which made Ningxia feel cruel when she saw it, but she couldn't say anything. I saw that Ah Ruan also pressed the chicken's head into the wine from time to time, forcing the chicken to drink the wine, and Tang Jing found a stone brick and pressed it on top of the clay pot, the chicken could expose its head, but the clay pot was still blocked by the stone bricks for a large area, and it was impossible for the chicken to escape from the clay pot, so he could only cluck in vain.
The next day, Ah Ruan's wife went to work in the field, and asked Ah Ruan to accompany them in Ningxia, Tang Jing said that Ah Ruan couldn't do farm work if he delayed Ah Ruan, and he was embarrassed, so he asked the grasshopper to follow Ah Ruan's wife to the field, and Ah Ruan's wife didn't let her go to the field at first, saying how embarrassed to let the guests go to work in the field, but then Tang Jing couldn't resist Tang Jing, so he let the grasshopper carry the hoe and follow her down to the field.
When Ah Ruan's wife and grasshopper went down to the field together, Ah Ruan and Tang Jing got busy together, and the two of them crushed some dried fruits of several colors into minced pieces, and then added water to boil them, like boiling medicine, boiled for a long time and then cooled, and brought these medicinal soups to the backyard and mixed them into the wine soaked in chickens.
After that, every half hour, I went to the backyard to take the chickens out of the clay pot soaked in wine and put them in the chicken coop to prevent the chickens from being soaked in the wine.
Tossed like this until the evening, Tang Jing said that it was almost time, and then took the chicken out of the clay pot and put it in the chicken cage.
At dinner, Tang Jing and the grasshopper bit their ears for a long time, and then at the dining table, Ningxia saw that the grasshopper's mouth was like smeared with honey, and he tried to persuade Ah Ruan's wife to drink, just saying thank you as an excuse, so he let Ah Ruan's wife drink three times, and then Tang Jing continued to persuade him.
Ningxia looked at Ah Ruan's wife holding the big white porcelain bowl, drinking wine bowl by bowl, and was speechless in surprise, this woman is too good at drinking, she was persuaded by Tang Jing and Grasshopper to drink so much wine, and she didn't get drunk. When Tang Jing had no reason to persuade Ah Ruan's wife to drink, he coaxed Ah Ruan and Ah Ruan's wife to drink a glass of wine, wishing them a happy marriage. Anyway, there are a bunch of reasons, which is to deceive the dead to pay for their lives.
After drinking a total of two large jars of wine, Ah Ruan's wife finally couldn't hold it anymore, her face was full of wine, and she was put into the back room to sleep by Ah Ruan.
Ningxia watched Ah Ruan's wife drink so much and felt scared, she heard that someone drank too much and endangered her life. But Ah Ruan said with a smile that this is their own rice wine, the degree is not so high, and they use this rice wine as a drink to coax the child, which makes Ningxia's jaw almost fall in surprise.
Tang Jing urged Ningxia to hurry up and eat, and they would go out later.
Ningxia was shocked, guessing that Tang Jing was going to take them to find the snake jade. Quickly pulled the food into his mouth, and soon he was full.
Ah Ruan also found a pair of cloth shoes for his wife to wear in Ningxia, saying that his wife and Ningxia were about the same size, and the shoe size should be similar. As a result, Ningxia wore that cloth shoe and stuck his feet.
Tang Jing said that they should wear it like this, they want to go deep in the mountains, although Ningxia wears flat shoes, but there are no cloth shoes to walk steadily in the mountains, and he also said that the shoes are smaller than the shoes, and they don't drop the shoes.
Ningxia could only barely put on those half-sized shoes, which was really uncomfortable, but for the time being, he could only endure it like this.
In addition, Ah Ruan found his and his wife's clothes and asked them to wear them separately, saying that it was cold in the mountains at night, so they should wear more clothes to avoid the cold. After waiting for them to be dressed, Ah Ruan went to the backyard and brought the chicken coop that should have been soaked into drunken chickens, and found a few firewood knives, which the three men each held. Ah Ruan also helped Ningxia find a lighter firewood knife, but Tang Jing didn't let Ningxia take it, saying that she was stupid, if she accidentally took the knife backwards and hurt herself, where would he find such a purebred fool again.
Ningxia said disgusting to Tang Jing, she was angry, if it weren't for Ah Ruan being a living person, her feet would have kicked straight to Tang Jing's ass, this Tang Jing can say anything, but he can't speak human words.
The grasshopper was worried about Ningxia and said that at least let her hold something to defend herself, what if something really happened and they couldn't protect her?
Tang Jing glanced at the grasshopper, reached out and pulled out a short dagger from his waist and handed it to Ningxia. At the same time, he said to Ningxia, don't worry, with him, he won't let her hurt a single hair.
When he said this, Tang Jing's eyes were very special, Ningxia had never seen such a serious look emanating from Tang Jing's eyes, like the words he said with a heavy oath, more like a kind of courageous responsibility. However, after being stunned a little, the corners of Ningxia's mouth twitched, not that she really didn't trust Tang Jing, but that she couldn't trust him at all, this guy's acting skills were so good, he sold you, you can still count the money for him, where does Ningxia dare to trust him, if he trusts him, he is really the purebred fool he said in his mouth, or the kind that is not pure and does not want money.
Hearing Tang Jing's words to protect Ningxia, the grasshopper was also enthusiastic, patted his chest and said manly, "Ningxia, don't worry, I will protect you to death." ”
Tang Jing snorted at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and said with a sneer, "This is really rare, I haven't heard that people can protect others when they die." Don't be your hero, if you really want to protect Ningxia, sing your drama well tonight. ”
