Chapter 129: Night Banquet Stone Zhai
Zhuang Yu and Zhuang Yu were punished by the county lord to kneel and sculpt the statue of the god.
This statue of the gods, the people of Xifu called the "universal training god", different from the gods worshiped in the world, this is a shapeless clay fetus created by the county lord. The place where this mud tire is placed is the place where the statue of Guanyin was put in the past, and later the house did not respect kneeling and worshipping the gods, and removed Guanyin, and the county lord replaced this mud tire with it.
The brothers and sisters in Xifu were naughty when they were young, and the county lord and the third master were very helpless about their discipline, so they made up such a god and monster to deter them. Later, it evolved into making them kneel when they made a mistake. The people of Xifu gradually spread it out, calling it "the god of universal discipline".
This clay fetal statue is very peculiar, the size is no different from the size of a person, standing in the main hall hall of the Phoenix Pavilion. There is no incense table under the head of the statue, no kneeling mat, and three pairs of knee marks are carved on the mud floor. It can be seen that it is aimed at Zhuang Pu, Zhuang Jue, and Zhuang Yu.
When they made a mistake, they were punished to kneel down in clay statues of the gods, and their knees had to kneel on the seal, and they could not move even an inch. Previously, Baozhu reported the situation to the county lord and mentioned this. It can be seen that Zhuang Yu and Zhuang Yu are very concerned about this matter, and they dare not neglect the punishment of the county lord and dare not move half an inch.
On this day, the reason why the brother and sister were punished by the county lord was simple, the county lord couldn't see them defending Yu Qi everywhere. After they went out with Yu Qi, the county lord sent someone to keep the two of them and let them go to the Phoenix Pavilion to kneel and punish.
Kneeling is an extremely painful thing for them.
Especially for Zhuang Yu, the pain is beyond words.
The two of them kneeled side by side on the seal, kneeling for a while, Zhuang Yu couldn't bear it, and complained to Zhuang Yu: "Just leave well, why bother to come with my brother again?" If my brother doesn't come, I won't follow. Sister Qi left easily, leaving you and me kneeling with faceless immortals, are you wronged or not? ”
Zhuang Jue said: "If you want to say wronged, you and I are comparable to Sister Qi?" She's wronged! If I can go out again, I will tell my wife and help Sister Qi intercede. ”
Zhuang Yu was wronged in his mouth, and he was aggrieved in his heart, and when he said it, it was all because of Yu Yu! She has only had a birthday, and strictly speaking, the guests have not even walked out of the gate of the Zhuangfu, and they have been punished. How can you be reasonable? Fortunately, people outside don't know.
Thinking of such an incident on his birthday, Zhuang Yu silently shed tears.
Seeing this, Zhuang Yu comforted: "Sister, don't cry. It's not kneeling again. My wife changed her mind and let us out. ”
Zhuang Yu rubbed his eyes, sniffed hard, and glared at Zhuang Yu fiercely, speechless.
And so he knelt in this way, and in the meantime someone came from outside, but there was no house, but he stood outside the door.
Zhuang Yu thought that the county lord had sent someone to release him, so he pulled Zhuang Yu to get up and ask, but when he looked out, it was the jewel. Baozhu felt very sorry for Zhuang Jue, and persuaded them: "The master and the girl are so angry that they kneel, and when the wife is angry, they will naturally be released." Don't shout about this, and don't say you're going out. ”
Baozhu didn't let them continue to kneel, and told them to pay more attention and not show it to their wives.
After Baozhu left, Zhuang Jue said to Zhuang Yu: "Don't kneel! If my wife really wanted us to kneel, Sister Baozhu would have let us kneel when she saw us like this. ”
Zhuang Yu was angry, went back to kneel, and said: "That's Baozhu feels sorry for their family, my brother doesn't kneel, but I want to kneel." Baozhu didn't feel sorry for me again!! ”
Zhuang Yu persuaded for a while, Zhuang Yu was still so stubborn, he went to the door to sit down, did not persuade again, but leaned against the door and took a nap. I don't know how long it took, but I was playing in a daze in my dream, and I was suddenly hit on the top of my head by something, and I woke up in pain.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhuang Yu standing in front of him, holding on to the door and looking out.
Zhuang Yu complained: "I'm daydreaming, sister, what are you doing waking me up." If you don't want to kneel, find a place to squint and it's over. ”
Zhuang Yu said strangely: "Brother, I saw a few people. ”
Zhuang Jue's eyes were closed, and he said: "If my sister can't see people, we really go to heaven to be immortals, and all we see are immortals." ”
Zhuang Yu said: "I seem to have seen Sister Qi and Baozhu. ”
That's an attractive statement!
Zhuang Yu suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, looked at Zhuang Yu's eyes, and said in a panic: "Where?" Where? ”
Seeing that Zhuang Yu was so excited, Zhuang Yu stopped talking and went back to kneel. Zhuang Yu ignored him, went out, looked around, and saw someone somewhere, so he came in and grabbed Zhuang Yu and said, "Sister, are you lying to me?" ”
Zhuang Yu said: "Maybe I'm wrong. What is my brother excited about. ”
Zhuang Ying said disappointedly: "My sister will play tricks on people." ”
Speaking of this, a group of people walked towards Shizhai in the distance outside. Zhuang Di's words fell, and he turned his head to look outside the door, just in time to see the group of people. It was the people who led the people who carried the iron tree and the box.
Zhuang Jue was curious, and muttered, "Sister, look." Idiot, slowly stood up for the door.
Zhuang Yu replied coldly: "What is there to see." ”
Zhuang Jue said: "There are really people. I went to the stone house. ”
Zhuang Yu heard this, turned his head to look outside, and sure enough, he saw two groups of figures in the distance, doing coolie work.
Zhuang Jue sat down along the door and said, "Really sister, you are mistaken, where is Sister Qi here, where is Sister Baozhu?" You see, the one who walks in front is clearly the pearl. Alas, I don't know who made a big mistake and was locked up in stone fasting. ”
Zhuang Yu frowned and fell into deep thought.
About some time ago, I was surprised to hear a miserable scream, as if someone was calling Mrs. I can't really hear it, and I can't tell who sent it. The brother and sister could hear it, and they didn't want to mention how much they doubted and pitied that person.
After watching for a long time, I finally saw Jiangzhu and the other people come out and pass outside. At this moment, Zhuang Ying could no longer hold back his loneliness and curiosity, and got up to greet him. Zhuang Yu was not at ease, got up, and called him back all the way.
When he arrived at Jiangzhu, Zhuang Jue asked, "Sister, is Mrs. punishing anyone again?" ”
Jiang Zhu looked panicked, raised his hand to signal the coolie's subordinates to leave, and said to Zhuang Yu: "Why did the master come out." The wife will come to see later, and she will have to be severely punished. Because he saw Zhuang Yu chasing after him, he held Zhuang Yu and said, "Girl, hurry up and pull the third master back, don't add to the guilt." ”
Zhuang Yu nodded, and desperately dragged Zhuang Yu back.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jiangzhu panicked and almost ran away.
Until the night was shrouded, when the lights were turned on in the house, no one came to inform the brother and sister that they had been released, let alone pick them up.
Zhuang Yu was worried that Zhuang Yu was afraid, so he found a candle and lit it. On this day, the two were very hungry.
Zhuang Jue said silently: "Mrs. is really ruthless, even if the punishment was in the past, at least there is something for us to eat." We knelt for so long, a rancid steamed bun, a bowl of thin rice porridge, could it be that we forgot? ”
So, he encouraged Zhuang Yu and said: "Sister, we can't sit still, let's escape!" Eat your fill first and come back. ”
In fact, Zhuang Yu was also hungry, because she ate fruit wine the first night, sweet and sour, and she had been making trouble all night until today, and she had not eaten any water and rice.
However, Zhuang Yu was stubborn and refused to be convinced, and said, "I'm not hungry!" Let my wife punish me to death. ”
Zhuang Jue said: "My sister is afraid that she will be seen by her wife when she goes out, so she wants me to say, what are you afraid of!" Horizontal and vertical punishment again, anyway, it's like this. ”
Zhuang Yu seemed to be moved by the words and wanted to get up.
At that time, Zhuang Jue had already snatched the door and ran towards the outside of the inner courtyard of the West Mansion. Zhuang Yu didn't say anything and chased out. But the sky outside is hazy, and there is still a faint light in the sky, but the trees on the ground are full of shadows, and I really want to follow, and I am afraid that I will fall down with my heels. Therefore, Zhuang Yu sighed and returned to the house to hand a lamp.
When I came out, where did I hear the sound of Zhuang Ying going away? Now, without a trace, without a sound.
Zhuang Yu stomped his feet and complained: "It's really a ghost in the previous life!" Life is going to kill me. When the resentment was over, he sat back on the threshold and looked at the sky in the distance.
In the sky, the afterglow faded, and the faint scattered starlight loomed.
yes, it's almost night.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, Zhuang Yu suddenly shrank, trembling, and couldn't help thinking: What did I do here? Sure enough, as my aunt said, he is not out of the right, he can't compare to his brother, he can do whatever he wants, in the end, he is his wife's own son, even if he goes out, he will be forgiven for making mistakes, if he goes out, what kind of situation will it be?
As a result, Zhuang Yu was sad.
At the right time, the cold wind continued, mixed with a smell of oil smoke. Looking downwind, the high wall in the distance, the stone zhai was faintly bright.
Zhuang Yu exclaimed: he is a prisoner, and he is also a prisoner within the high wall. This prisoner is not as good as the other prisoner. In the end, people can still make their own fires and cook their own meals. And what about me, what is left but to meditate, to kneel?
Yes, at this moment, Yu Qi is cooking on a fire in the stone restaurant.
After Jiangzhu left, Yu Qi secretly cried and cried for a while, during which he fell asleep with sleepiness. When I wake up, everything is the same. Reality is so sharp, like a frost wind sword, waving cold light.
She was silent for a while, calmed her thoughts and emotions, then got up and said to herself: This place is my dwelling, no matter how unbearable it is, I can't let the insects, ants, snakes and rats laugh at it.
After thinking like this, she rolled up her sleeves, rolled up her skirt, took off her hair ornaments, beaded hairpins and other things, sorted out the miscellaneous objects one by one, and went to the well behind the pavilion to fetch water and come back to wipe it. When she had tidied up the house, she dragged the iron tree to the door.
Regarding the arrangement of the iron tree, she explained it in her heart: The ancients often used green pine as a door ceremony, and today, I will make the iron tree a green pine. The predecessor welcomes the pine, I am the iron tree gate!
The so-called iron tree door is to block the door of this thing in case of accidents, and it can be decorated.
After the rest was set, the sky was getting dark, and she opened another big box, which was separated by several layers, and opened them one by one, and saw that they contained: pots and pans, vegetables, rice, oil, salt, lamps, quilts, clothes, etc.
I answered the words of the jewel and the bead: what is necessary for life.
Count them one by one, put them on the table, collect them when they should collect them, make the bed when they should make a bed, and when they have the rest, it's time to cook.
Cook?
Yu Qihuan looked around, but I didn't see a kitchen or a stove. She thought to herself: Didn't the people who used to be locked up here eat it?
Because of this thought, I can't help but think deeply: Could it be that the people who were imprisoned committed suicide and died?
Then he thought: Maybe their guilt is very light, and the wives still send him something to eat. And he was guilty of being treated like this.
The imbalance in my heart, I did everything I could to dredge it, it was smooth, and I continued to be busy.
I was busy moving stones to make a stove outside, moving the pot out, and then going to fetch water, wash rice, put it into the pot, and cook. Maybe it's because of the too much water, the pot is boiled, and there are no rice grains, just a mess.
Yu Qi looked at the pot and laughed at himself: It's rare to be confused, just be confused!
Then, the mood became euphoric, and the "rice" in the pot was served in a basin before continuing to cook.
Cuisine?
It's greens, and there's no meat.
Yu Qi took out a few greens from the box, was stunned for a while, and said with a smile: "Innocent and innocent." My wife wants to tell me that I am innocent.
The euphoria that had been before turned into cheerfulness now.
While washing the vegetables, she laughed and said to herself: "Today is a day of housewarming, and it is worth celebrating." I'm going to make a full feast. ”
Therefore, take out all the green vegetables, wash them all, and then bring the bowls, plates, saucers, even the teacups and tea lids for tea, and feel that they are not enough, and then go and pick the leaves and put them together into a plate.
The practice here is exquisite.
For example, the rhizomes of the picked vegetables are set as meat dishes, a plate is distributed, and the dishes are loaded, and the good name is: oolong and phoenix tail, stir-fried fragrant pig with tender bamboo shoots, crispy roast duck with honey, fragrant tender chicken, steamed carp, braised beef, deep-sea pearl crab, hibiscus egg, stewed swan......
One point, one side laughs.
When it came to the greens and soups, she was in a dilemma, and thought stupidly: "This greens are the most pure and natural things, and they can't be as vulgar as the name of dirty meat."
Therefore, the green vegetables are named: a product of fresh green, several degrees of okra, cranberry green rose, Yiren in water, small Zhu white susch, bitter leaves, peach scorching, etc.
The soups are: Yao Chi Water, Lingyu Soup, Tianshan Soup, Baifeng Chaoyang, etc.
The dish is finished.
She lit a flame, heated the noodles, added oil and salt, and poured the assigned vegetables into it.
There are so many dishes that she can keep busy for a while. Because of busyness, the troubles and grievances of the day are left behind, and when the cold wind blows, it is just taken away.
This is also the smell that Zhuang Yu, who was far away on the other side of the Phoenix Pavilion, smelled.
Seeing that Zhuang Jue had been gone for too long and had not returned, Zhuang Jue was bored, she came out with the lamp in her hand and stood outside for a while, wondering in her heart, who was locked up in Shizhai? Thinking about it, he cautiously groped his way forward.
When I arrived at the door of the high wall of Shizhai, I looked in through the crack in the door, and vaguely saw a person busy among a pile of rocks, very cheerful, because the sky was dark, I couldn't see her face clearly.
Zhuang Yu saw the joy of that person and became envious: It is rare that there is such an open-minded person in the world, who can still be so happy even though he is locked up here, how strange it is!
Zhuang Yu took a few more looks, wanting to see what kind of character was inside.
However, no matter how you look closely, you can't fight the darkness of the sky, and finally, Zhuang Yu sighed: "That's it!" ”
She was about to turn around and go back, when she suddenly smelled the fragrance of green vegetables, her stomach growled, so she stopped, swallowed her saliva in every possible way, and finally couldn't help it, and wanted to open her mouth to beg for food.
I thought again: How can I, the eldest lady of Xifu, ask for food from these lowly subordinates? I'd rather starve to death than eat what comes my mouth!
At this moment, I heard Zhuang Di's ethereal voice in the distance: "Fifth sister! Fifth sister! ”
Zhuang Yu heard it and quickly pulled away from under the door.
The abnormal sound of the sound made Yu Qi startled, and she stopped what she was doing and looked out of the door. After a long time, he asked in a low voice, "Who is it?" ”
I asked a few questions, but no one answered.
Because at that time, Zhuang Yu had already left.
Yu Qi went back to the house to get the lamp, walked out tremblingly, put his face on the door panel, looked out through the crack in the door, and saw a beautiful figure, holding the lamp, one foot high and one foot low to the other side of the Phoenix Pavilion.
Looking at the figure, it looks very familiar.
