Volume 1 "The Way of the Way" Chapter 194 The Cellar

Hearing this, the three of us couldn't hide our curiosity and wanted to see what was going on, but we were pushed back by Yao Qingshan:

"It's not time to get out of the pot, you can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, on weekdays, only in the month of the sacrifice can be killed, and this Jingpo fish is only allowed to be caught during the annual sacrifice! But except for water burials, except for the New Year's sacrifice, only when there is such a major event as a water burial in the village, an exception will be made! ”

"Huh! Hey, what about my sister-in-law? We sat back at the table, only to find that Zhou Xue was not at home!

"It's time to get the cellar! Leave her alone! ”

After that, Yao Qingshan prepared the dishes and chopsticks, took out the washed mountain fruits, and returned to the stove, but a few of us couldn't hide their curiosity and asked Wang Qing, what is this cellar?

Wang Qing shook his head and said, "It seems to be an old wine cellar of more than two hundred years, but the last time I didn't come to open the festival, this cellar was not opened!" But listening to the people in the village, the reason why the people of Yaojiazhai live long is because of the existence of this cellar! ”

After all, the resources in the mountains are limited, and only mountain fruits and a small amount of food cannot solve everyone's food and clothing, so they need to borrow prey in the mountains to satisfy their hunger!

But in order to keep the water flowing for a long time, it will be stipulated that the month of the sacrifice will be opened, and not only the livestock that you feed cannot be killed, but even the prey in the mountains is also not allowed to be hunted!

And the cellar is just a vintage wine cellar, so Wang Qing said, the berry wine in this cellar can make close relatives live longer, but it is beyond the scope of our understanding! And when Zhou Wenwu heard this, a pair of eyes were already shining!

After a while, Jing Poyu came out of the pot, Ye Zi couldn't wait to pick up the dishes and chopsticks, and several of us stretched our necks one by one, although Yao Qingshan had changed the flower knife, but we could still tell the difference!

It's just that the appearance of this Jingpo fish is really indescribably weird, it is pitch black, the size is not large, it is estimated that it is less than two catties, and there are four fins on both sides, but the fins are very different from the fish we usually see, these four fins have obvious bends and forks, as if deformed!

Moreover, this Jing Po fish has no eyes! An asymmetrical mouth can't be closed, revealing two rows of red fangs! Our original appetite was instantly washed away by its strange appearance, even if the smell of fish was still tangy, but the chopsticks in our hands didn't know how to start!

But the leaves can't wait to start, and it seems that this delicacy is very rare!

"Eat! Don't be stunned! Although this thing doesn't look good, it tastes really good, and this fish is only available in our Yaojiazhai! ”

Yao Qingshan motioned for a few of us to move chopsticks, and just as we hesitated, Zhou Xue's voice outside the house came at the right time, and he walked into the house with a porcelain jar in his hand with a happy face!

"It's back! It's all ready, let's eat it together! ”

Yao Qingshan motioned for Zhou Xue to sit down, but before the words fell, Zhou Wenwu put it down first

got up and looked at the porcelain jar, and said, "Sister-in-law, this is the cellar you received?" Hiss... It's not ordinary! ”

Not only Zhou Wenwu, but also a few of us also smelled a strange aroma of wine, extremely strong, but different from what we usually see!

As the old saying goes, wine is the essence of food! All dynasties are one of the sacrifices of the sacrificial ceremony, although the modern society of wine is popular, but also mostly industrial income, in this poor mountain and bad water, the self-brewed wine is more precious, and, look at the situation of Yaojiazhai, obviously the status of this cellar is more respected than imagined!

I also got up and looked down, there was only a few gray-white liquids in the porcelain jar, which looked extremely cloudy, but the strange fragrance was overwhelming: "This is a pulp bar?" ”

Without waiting for Zhou Xue to answer, a thick arm took the porcelain jar, which was Yao Qingshan:

"How many times have I said that these pulp wines can be taken back and sprinkled directly in the yard! What else are you doing here? ”

"It's already sprinkled! It's not the big brothers, they... Zhou Xue looked aggrieved, but before we could speak, Yao Qingshan walked directly towards the outside of the house with the porcelain jar and said:

"It's just some old pulp wine, it's a mistake to drink too much! It's good to repel insects! ”

"Hey... Stingy! Zhou Wenwu watched Yao Qingshan spill the little remaining pulp wine around the courtyard, and couldn't help but mutter!

I asked, "Sister-in-law! Can this pulp wine repel insects? ”

"Hmmm! The cellar is the most important place in the village, only the patriarchs of the past dynasties can go to the cellar to make wine, and every time the sacrifice is held, it must be distributed to the people in the village, but he is the green mountain. . . Don't be surprised! ”

The reason why the people in the village don't avoid poisonous insects is because of the existence of this cellar! And Yao Qingshan, because of his father and his current situation, it is inevitable that he will be a little prejudiced against the current patriarch!

Although I missed this long-lived berry wine, but we don't have much to say, Yao Qingshan returned to the house, and beckoned us to taste the Jingpo fish again, in desperation, I could only move the chopsticks, the fish meat entrance, indescribably delicious! I inexplicably remembered Yao Shengli's admiration for Jing Poyu, and at this moment it seems that this thing is really extremely precious!

After dinner, the villagers who were guarding the square also came back one after another, and guarded the waterway, still left some to guard the square, during the special period, we were not good to walk around, and went back to the firewood room where Wang Qing stayed last time, and Anna and Sun Qing slept in the room of Yao Qingshan's father before his death!

Finally waited until it got dark, the three of us couldn't wait to get out of the room, looked up, although there were celestial phenomena in the starry sky in the distance, but the moon mountain was still full of miasma, and the celestial phenomena were also half-covered and half-hidden.

The next day, Wang Qing did not give up and went to the pass, in order to find the gap of those guards, the result was naturally not as desired, Yaojiazhai attached more importance to the water burial than we expected, during the water burial, it was impossible to enter the Moon Mountain unconsciously!

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

In desperation, I could only wait for the water burial to end, but this wait was three days! It's been more than four days since we came to Yaojiazhai, and although the Gu worm in the Sun Token is still swimming, several of us have lost patience, because this water burial is too weird!

According to calculations, Yao Shengli's father has been a mortuary for a week, and ordinary corpses will definitely decompose, and the spread of corpse odor is extremely difficult to cover, not to mention that the tree coffin in the square that day did not have a coffin lid, and I also deliberately set Zhou Xue's words to confirm that the tree coffin did not have a coffin lid!

However, the three of us sneaked into the vicinity of the square again, but there was no corpse smell coming from, and none of the old people sitting in front of the coffin did not look out of the slightest, so there were only two possibilities!

First, the clansmen of Yaojiazhai have a way to dispose of dead bodies!

Second, this corpse is no longer a corpse! It's stiff!

Between the strangeness of the ritual cellar and the Jing Po fish, I guess it is mostly the first possibility, but what the reason is, we still need to see it with our own eyes to know, and as long as we figure out the reason why this water burial has not entered the water for a long time, we can also determine when we can enter the Moon Mountain! After all, a group of wind collectors from other towns will inevitably be suspicious if they have been living in the village!

On the morning of the fifth day, we went to the pass early and headed for the pass, and several clansmen, including Yao Qingshan, were still guarding around the pass! Seeing this, we didn't want to get close to the front, so we stopped on the shore, I picked up the camera and took pictures around casually, at this moment, the sound of leaves suddenly came from behind me:

"Uncle! Can you take another picture for me? ”

After a few days of getting along, the leaves almost stuck to us, because of Yao Qingshan, the leaves were also isolated by their peers, and they only played by themselves on weekdays! However, today is an exception, and behind Ye Zi is a girl of the same age, clamoring to see her butterfly hairpin!

"Yao Kuan's daughter!" Wang Qing saw my doubts, and the camera in my hand also attracted the latter's attention, and shouted for me to take a picture of her, so I had to respond, but then Yao Kuan's daughter's words made me stunned, she pointed to the leaves and said:

"I don't want to shoot with her! My dad said she was a mongrel! It's a traitor to the stockade! ”

"This kid, why is he so unqualified! How did your dad teach you! Zhou Wenwu immediately said: "Do you look down on her and still want her hairpin?" ”

"It was meant to be!"

The girl muttered, and at the same time, Yao Qingshan in the distance also saw us, to be exact, he saw Yao Kuan's daughter, and when he walked towards us, I signaled Zhou Wenwu not to say much, so I had to take a picture of this girl herself, and then let Ye Zi stand by the river and pose for it!

However, as my command sounded, the leaf did not move with it, I raised my head with some doubts, and saw that the leaf's face gradually turned pale, and his fingers trembled and pointed behind me, and the voice suddenly became harsh, and he shouted hysterically:

"Ghosts! What the hell!! ”
