Chapter Twenty-Three: Luan's Soul Soars and Love Ice Embedded
What Qingluan saw happened to be a spirit snake.
Qingluan got up early, and this spirit snake didn't get up late.
The bad thing is that Qingluan has never seen the spirit snake with his own eyes, and he learned it from Fan Ren's mouth.
Therefore, the unknown, the dangers in the shadows are difficult to prevent, and they are more lethal.
The snake goes outside for the first time every day to drink the first sip of morning dew.
This morning was the time for him to drink morning dew, and he happened to be bumped into by Qingluan, so there was a tragic situation.
The spirit snake is blinded, and I don't know what to do. He was stunned beside Qingluan......
In just a few seconds, he came to his senses and quickly swam towards Fan Ren's room......
At this time, Fan Renshi had woken up, and was sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for Qingluan's face wash, the left couldn't wait, the right couldn't wait, and he thought to himself: "This little hoof, why don't you bring water today?" Don't oversleep, do you? I'll check it out! ”
While muttering to himself, he lowered his head and put on his shoes, got up and walked to the door, and saw the spirit snake jumping to his feet.
She was so surprised and delighted that she almost screamed. But she didn't, for fear of losing her identity as a young grandmother.
She asked the spirit snake lightly: "Spirit snake, where have you been for more than a month?" I said I would come home the next day, why didn't I come? ”
The spirit snake didn't dare to answer, and it was not in the mood at this time. He wagged his tail desperately, and then quickly crawled to the door of the incense room.
Fan Ren looked at the strange behavior of the spirit snake, and he was really a little confused. So he followed behind the spirit snake.
The scene in front of him made Fan Renshi almost faint: Qingluan was lying upright at the door of the incense case house, his eyes widened, white saliva hung all over the corners of his mouth, and his originally pink face turned blue and purple at this time......
Looking at the scene in front of him, Fan Ren's couldn't care about the identity of the young grandmother, and suddenly pounced on Qingluan's body, and screamed sadly: "Qingluan! Qingluan! What's wrong with you? How did it become like this after not seeing each other all night? Are you talking? ”
Regardless of Fan Ren's crying and grabbing the ground, Qingluan just didn't say a word, and her soul was already scared out of the clouds.
Enough crying, Fan Ren wiped his tears, and saw that the spirit snake was looking at him in the hazy eyes of tears, and at this time, there was no warmth in his eyes, and some were guilty and frustrated.
Fan Ren understood, reacted immediately, and asked: "Spirit snake, did you scare Qingluan to death?" ”
The spirit snake nodded its big head without hesitation.
Fan Ren looked at the expression and behavior of the spirit snake, rushed to the spirit snake angrily, raised his fist to smash it down, and then looked at the spirit snake, he was closing his eyes and waiting for his fist to fall, and his heart softened, 'Bang'! A fist slammed into his chest.
She beat her chest and said, "Qingluan, you go, how can I live!" It's not as good as me ......."
Before she finished her words, she saw the head of the spirit snake point three times at Qingluan's corpse, and then the huge body quickly swam, and disappeared after a while.
Fan Ren's family didn't care about looking for the spirit snake, and the most important thing at the moment was Qingluan's body.
In Dali in August, it is the hottest time, it will rot if you put it like this, and it is no problem to go to the house to find someone to help, but Qingluan's death for no reason will make the old lady and the family members and slaves suspicious, and what is even worse is that the family will report to the official for mourning. This is a process that every ordinary person must go through. As soon as the government intervened, the trouble became even greater......
Thinking of this, Fan Ren's head swelled painfully. The heart said, "Will not the serpent become the target of all!" No way! Never let them know!
Fan Ren has always been known for her boldness, but at this time she has lost her guts. True to the saying: timid as a mouse.
She looked forward to the coming of night, so that she could deal with Qingluan's funeral.
Now she has a difficult problem in front of her. This long detached corpse is placed at the bright door, in case the old lady in the east chamber has something to do, it is not all leaking.
Without further ado. Fan Ren went to the warehouse to bring the felt of the winter flowers and plants, and wrapped the green luan in it. After wrapping it, she made a difficulty, just wrapping others is invisible, but it is not embalmed, how to solve this problem? Can only be frozen.
This...... This......
When Fan Renshi was puzzled, a cat meow of "meow" interrupted Fan Ren's thoughts.
The civet cat "Cuihua" walked towards him, holding something in his mouth, and when he came to Fan Ren's face, he shook his head and loosened his mouth, and something fell from Cuihua's mouth to the ground.
Fan Ren looked curiously, it was a ten-centimeter-long ice crystal object. She picked it up with her hand and looked closely, and there was a small mouse that was tightly frozen in ice. The rat's claws are curved, and the gray fluff is clearly visible......
It occurred to her that the ice rat in the civet cat Cuihua's mouth must have come from her own ice cellar.
Thinking like this, my brain flashed, and I suddenly realized: "This is obviously a civet cat reminding me to use ice to refrigerate!" I was so frightened that I forgot even this simple common sense. ”
She hurriedly walked to the door, and hesitated again for a while, the Fan family's ice cellar is not an ordinary person who enters and exits casually. Because ice is very precious in the southwest, the Fan family spent a lot of silver taels in Tianjin Geng surnamed "Fusheng Ice Cellar" to buy and store in the large ice cellar built by themselves, in order to cool off in summer. The key to the ice cellar is in the old lady's hand.
This is really difficult for Fan Ren, because he doesn't have any reason to ask for ice.
At this time, Fan Ren's hands rubbed his hands and feet, and he really reached the point where his donkey skills were exhausted.
Just when she had no skills to do, the image of the Fan family making herself due to the ice break appeared in her mind: one year, there was a severe drought in the southwest, and the crops were not harvested. The land is cracked, and the car is like a turtle. The road was not good, so the Fan family did not go to Tianjin to buy ice.
But the heat caused by the drought made the Fan family unbearable. It turned out that every summer would take out ice cubes to cool off, but the ice was not bought, and the heat could not be eliminated, and the Fan family was like a frosted eggplant - wilting.
That's not always the way to go. But people can't always be constrained by methods.
As the saying goes: ginger is still old and spicy. That's true.
No, "Old Jiang" Uncle Zhen came up with an idea, saying that there was a kind of saltpeter powder in his hometown that could make ice, so he pulled up the two of them, and the two of them went back to Uncle Zhen's hometown to retrieve the saltpeter powder.
When we brought it back, we really made ice, but it was not easy to preserve because of the uneven thickness and the small amount. But it's good for temporary use.
Fan Renshi also participated in ice making at that time, and he thought it was fun at the time. I asked Uncle Zhen for two bags of saltpeter powder. Uncle Zhen also laughed at the time and said that his childlike innocence was still alive.
Thinking of this, Fan Ren went to the iron bucket in the innermost corner of the warehouse to get saltpeter powder. He carried a bag in each of his left and right hands into the Buddha case house.
I went to the back kitchen again and brought four bamboo tubes. This bamboo tube is used to make bamboo tube rice.
Once these were ready, she began to make ice.
First, pour water into a large bath, sprinkle saltpeter powder in the water, then fill the bamboo tube with water, and also fill the iron basin with water. These water-filled vessels are then placed in a large bath......
The next day, when the sky was bright, Fan Renshi woke up with his sleepy eyes, and immediately thought of making ice, so he rushed to the bathtub with an arrow.
All the utensils in the tub were frozen without exception, and when poured out, they looked as thin as ten centimeters.
She was overjoyed, and she didn't bother to pour it in for easy access. Instead, he held it with his arms and hands, and ran in front of the felt wrapped in Qingluan at a speed of 100 meters.
Open the felt and quickly arrange the ice cubes around you.
After Fan Renshi finished this, he was already sweating all over.
She straightened up and locked the door of the incense case.
When he returned to the house, he fell on the bed.
Tears also wet his face. Full of pillow towels.
She asked herself, "Why does a good woman suffer so much, and when is she a head?" ”
Just as she was asking, she saw the shadow of a behemoth flickering outside the window, and she said in her heart; "This troubled beast is back, see how I teach him!"
