After staying in the county seat all day, I hurried on the road, and halfway through, it was still dark.

It was raining, and with such a big fog, it was dark early.

To be honest, Xu Fugui was a little panicked in his heart.

Thick fog shrouded the mountains and forests, the surroundings were pitch black, and the breeze blew, and the bamboo forest made a rustling sound, as if there were unclean things shuttling in it.

He swallowed nervously, always feeling that there was something behind him or in the mountains and forests beside the road, and suddenly turned his head, but there was nothing.

Loneliness, cold, and darkness enveloped him tightly, and it was as if he were the only one left in the world.

Fortunately, he put a box of matches in the space as he left, and made a torch out of dried bamboo and branches before it was dark.

Due to the lack of kerosene, the torch did not burn long, and he had to constantly look for new incendiary materials, but at least it provided him with fire and warmth.

The torch in his hand is the greatest comfort in his heart.

Xu Fugui exhaled deeply and whispered: "There are no ghosts in the world, we must believe in science, we are not afraid of shadows, and evil ghosts still need ...... be grinded by wicked people."

With the light of the torches, continue on your journey, picking up some dried bamboo on the road from time to time to keep the torches burning.

Every time he walked, he would stop to identify where he was going, and whenever he saw a familiar marker, his heart would feel more reassured.

Walking alone at night is really quite exciting.

After turning a corner, another steep uphill path, and after taking two steps up, his pupils suddenly shrank, and a chill encompassed his whole body.

A bright spot in front of him flickered slightly, as if it was gradually approaching him!

It's not like, it's really approaching him!

As the distance shortened, the bright spot also became a firelight, and behind the firelight there was a looming human face.

Xu Fugui's heart rose to his throat, thinking that he wouldn't really encounter anything unclean, right?

"Young Master?"

At this time, an uncertain voice came from the front, Xu Fugui was stunned, and asked, "Come to Shun?" ”

"Young Master!"

Laishun shouted in surprise and walked over at a faster pace, but the mud road was too slippery, and he accidentally fell.

Xu Fugui breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly thought of something, and took advantage of the darkness of the night to quickly take out the fatty meat, roast duck, and large bags of condiments in the space and put them on his body.

Lai obediently got up on the ground, walked over and said happily: "Young master, why did you come back so late, Madame is worried about you, and she keeps talking." ”

Xu Fugui smiled, "Quick, help me get some, it's too heavy." ”

"Bought so much and meat! Roast duck! Laishun shouted in surprise and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"Let's go, let's go back."

With Lai Shun as his companion, the nervousness and fear in his heart disappeared completely, and his walking steps became larger.

By the time the two of them walked into the village, Xujia Village had fallen completely silent, and people had obviously already gone to sleep.

After all, there is no means of entertainment, and I am reluctant to light a kerosene lamp, so I simply go to bed after dark, unlike the later generations who can stay up all night.

Back at the thatched house, Mother Xu came over to take a closer look and saw that he was fine, so she breathed a sigh of relief, "Fugui, I'm tired of walking for a day, I'll warm sweet potato porridge for you." ”

Father Xu sat back on the bench and looked at the things in his and Lai Shun's hands, "Brute, are you still the young master you used to be?" I'll give you two silver dollars, and you'll give me Huo Huoguang? ”

He felt distressed for a while, these were two silver dollars, although their family still had a little bit of jewelry, but they couldn't spend two silver dollars a few times.

"Don't pay attention to your father, he can't spit ivory out of his dog's mouth, where did this clothes come from?" Mother Xu brought a bowl of sweet potato porridge.

"Oh, Jiazhen gave it, saying that it was from my father-in-law when he was young." Xu Fugui sat on the bench tiredly, and when he noticed that the porridge was not hot, he took a big sip directly.

"Slow down, don't choke, see Jiazhen?"

"I saw it, and she said she would come back in the next year."

Xu Mu smiled and looked at the things on the ground, "Bought so many things?" This meat is good, but there is too much lean meat, and I can't refine much lard, what are these miscellaneous things, why is there a large intestine, I don't eat this thing......"

Xu Fugui gobbled up a big bowl of porridge, burped comfortably, and pointed to the oily paper, "There is also roast duck, Jiazhen and Fengxia are reluctant to eat much, let me bring it back and give it to you to taste." ”

Father Xu smiled rarely, and held his goat white beard and said, "It's better to be a treasure." ”

After speaking, he looked at him with disgust, "I don't know why Jiazhen is blind to you brute." ”

"Then why did I fall blind to you old thing in the first place? The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, and the son is not the fault of the godfather, it is all your fault as a father. ”

Mother Xu did not allow anyone to say about her son.

Father Xu snorted unconvinced, too lazy to argue.

Mother Xu took out the roast duck and cut it into small pieces, beckoning Lai Shun and Changgen to eat, although Lai Shun and Changgen were greedy, but they didn't want to eat it after tasting a piece.

"Fugui, you eat." Mother Xu didn't eat a single piece herself.

Xu Fugui shook his head, "Mother, you can eat, Jiazhen and I have eaten half of it, and I really can't eat it." ”

"Mother is not stupid, why can't she eat roast duck."

To put it bluntly, there are still too few roast ducks, if the roast duck is enough, everyone can eat to their heart's content, and there is no need to be humble.

"Then I'll keep it, chop it up and put it in when I cook porridge tomorrow, and everyone can eat some." Mother Xu carefully put the roast duck away.

"Fugui, what are those big bags and small bags?" Mother Xu asked.

Xu Fugui coughed dryly, and said to Xu's father seriously: "Dad, I'm going to the county seat to do business!" ”

Father Xu raised his eyelids, "I don't have any money." ”

"Dad, even if you don't agree, I'm going to do business, I don't need you to pay, I've already bought good things, which are those on the ground."

Seeing that he wasn't joking, Father Xu asked, "What business do you want to do?" ”

"Sell lo-mei."

Father Xu is also knowledgeable, straightened his back when he heard the words, and looked at him with a suspicious look, "Do you know how to make lo-mei?" ”

Xu Fugui said without a red face and a heartbeat: "When I was in the casino before, someone lost money to me, and when I had no money, he gave me the ancestral lo-mei recipe. ”

"Where's Fangzi?"

"I threw it, but I remember it in my head."

"What you fuck is all bullshit."

Mother Xu patted him gently, "Discuss it, what are you scolding me for?" ”

Father Xu pointed at him with his finger, "This beast is just taking it for granted, and he can go into business after reading a prescription?" Do you know if you can make lo-mei out? Even if it tastes good? Even if you can barely get by, are you willing to shout on the side of the street? Even if you're shameless, do you know what price to set? How do I make a counteroffer? ”

Xu Fugui pointed to the pig's large intestine, full of confidence, "I'll show you tomorrow......"
